2 Return! Freshmen Leaderboard! (3) The talented martial warriors in the spacecraft also heard Wang Teng’s conversation with the Guardian Elders from the Chaotic Uncharted. They had peculiar expressions on their faces. “He got struck by lightning?!” What did Wang Teng do in the Chaotic Uncharted? Why was he struck by lightning? At that moment, the cabin door opened and Wang Teng flew in from the outside. He suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him with weird expressions as if they were seeing something strange. Even the eternal stage white-robed man standing in front of the spacecraft couldn’t help but glance at Wang Teng. “Wang Teng, over here!” Yue Qiqiao shouted at Wang Teng. Wang Teng blinked. He walked over and met up with Yue Qiqiao and the others. Yue Qiqiao was about to ask him a question but the eternal stage man in a white robe opened his mouth and said, “Everyone is here. Let’s return!” The spacecraft vibrated slightly and changed its direction. It flew towards the Seventh Stellar Academy. Many people suddenly turned pale. Everyone is here? But some people aren’t back yet. It was obvious what this meant. The man in white glanced at everyone and said, “First, congratulations on returning from the Uncharted. The survival rate for this Uncharted trip is 86%. For those who haven’t returned, their deaths have been confirmed.” “What!” As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz of voices erupted around them. Some people died! Many people hadn’t noticed the absence of some individuals. They only realized after hearing the words of the man in white. Many talented martial warriors who entered the Uncharted died. The survival rate was 86%! Was it high? Well, it didn’t seem low! Mind you, these were all talented martial warriors from the various territorial domains in the universe. The fact that some of them had died was shocking news. % of the talented martial warriors had perished. This was a huge loss. This news was like a bucket of cold water poured on the proud hearts of these talented warriors. There were areas suitable for freshmen in the Uncharted. As long as they stayed in those areas, there wouldn’t be much danger. There should be guides reminding them about this matter once they entered the Uncharteds. Thus, many people didn’t encounter any dangers in the Uncharted. They considered it a land of opportunity, never thinking they would die there. A moment ago, they were delighted by the opportunities they gained in the Uncharted. Now, their joys had faded. Their expressions turned solemn. Of course, there were also a few individuals who still showed lingering fear on their faces. They had faced dangers in the Uncharted but managed to return alive. They were luckier than those who died. Wang Teng scanned his surroundings. He was surprised too. “I noticed that some people were missing but I didn’t expect them to be dead,” Yue Qiqiao muttered. Her expression changed slightly. “A 14% death rate might not seem high, but it’s not low,” Wang Teng said. “As long as they stay in the cosmos-stage areas, there shouldn’t be any significant danger. What did they experience in the Uncharted? How did they die?” Yue Qiqiao frowned in confusion. “Some people might not be able to resist venturing beyond the cosmos-stage areas,” Treant Boret stood at the side and said. Yue Qiqiao was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant. These talents from the various territorial domains were all extremely arrogant. While many might be able to control their desires and stay within the cosmos-stage areas, some might consider themselves superior and venture outside. All talents felt that they were different from others. They felt that they could get better opportunities. Moreover, these people were entering the Uncharted for the first time and might not have a proper understanding of its dangers. Naturally, there was a high chance of them encountering death. All the deaths were not accidental. They were inevitable. “Wang Teng, did you step out of the cosmos-stage area too?” Yue Qiqiao suddenly saw Wang Teng’s expression and asked. “You didn’t?” Wang Teng asked her back. “I didn’t. I know my ability,” Yue Qiqiao replied calmly. “Boret and Brother Yunxian must have gone out.” Wang Teng smiled. He looked at Yunxian and Boret. “Haha.” Boret scratched his crown and chuckled. Yu Yunxian nodded. He didn’t deny it. “So, as you see, there are still many who ventured beyond the cosmos-stage areas. It’s just that some of them have strong enough abilities to survive, while others…” Wang Teng didn’t finish his sentence but his meaning was clear. Those who didn’t return were not strong enough. This was the truth. With enough strength comes confidence, and lacking strength leads to arrogance, as well as death. However, determining the strength of an individual was highly subjective and difficult to explain. The man in white clothing gave everyone some time to digest the information before continuing. “Many of you have already advanced to the cosmos stage. Even if you haven’t, you’re not far away. Now that the Freshmen Leaderboard has opened, try your best to climb higher.” “The higher your ranking on the Freshmen Leaderboard, the more benefits you will receive. You could attract the attention of the instructors in the academy and may even become the personal disciple of a formidable martial warrior. You will be propelled to new heights!” “You are all talents from the various territorial domains. You came to the academy to cultivate and become formidable martial warriors.” “Besides relying on your efforts, the guidance of a supreme mentor is crucial. It will help you avoid many detours on your path to greatness.” “In summary, if you don’t strive for success within the academy, the gap between each of you will widen due to various reasons. The strong will become stronger, and the weak will become even weaker. I hope that each one of you seizes every opportunity to become a powerhouse in the universe.”
