A squad of three Awakened stood atop the high, sky-blue spire of Linköping Cathedral, overlooking the battlefield below.

From this vantage point, the armies of both sides appeared like two torrents, crashing together with a thunderous roar.

"Senior Longxiang, Senior Fengxiang, this is a rare opportunity, isn't it? Large-scale war replicas like this are usually the climax of inter-world events, right?"

A scholarly young man said with a smile. He wore a cloth armor robe and held a golden tome in his hand. He was a member of the second cohort of the Divine Strategy Army's Genius Camp, an elite profession Word Spirit Master: Qilin.

Beside Qilin stood a tall female Awakened, clad in fiery red leather armor, her chin gently raised, exuding a haughty, phoenix-like aura.

The female Awakened "Fengxiang" said calmly, "I understand that the climax of an inter-world event means generous rewards. This kind of temporary teleportation has never happened before; it's my first encounter! What concerns me more is why the Spirit Realm Will warned us that we can only participate in the war and cannot explore other areas of the world or actively attack other Awakened!"

Standing in front of the trio, seemingly the leader of the group, was an Awakened clad in heavy armor, carrying a medium shield, with a strong and imposing physique—evidently the "Longxiang" Qilin referred to.

Longxiang chuckled and said, "The reason is simple. During the climax of inter-world events like this, the Spirit Realm Will usually temporarily teleports some young and promising Awakened here for training! I suppose we were introduced midway into this world, and there's still some remaining time for the Awakened originally matched to this world."

Qilin suddenly understood, "So, we can't explore other areas or attack other Awakened to prevent our interference from threatening those normally matched Awakened."

"There should be other squads of Awakened like us, introduced midway into this world," Fengxiang asked.

"There should be quite a few, like us, all around twenty years old, with strength at least at the elite template of a mid-level Awakened," Longxiang said.

Qilin said, "Then they should be like us, all university students."

"Yes, in this war, we might encounter some familiar faces," Longxiang's eyes were ablaze with battle intent, "The new academic year is starting, and there's just over a month until the University Competition. This is a good opportunity to observe the strength of our old rivals. This time in the University Competition, our Jiangnan University must reach the top four!"

The three members of Longxiang Squad descended gracefully. The emblem of Blood Ring was boldly depicted on their illusionary clothing!

At the same time, in various corners at the edge of the battlefield, multiple squads of Awakened appeared. Like the Longxiang Squad, they aligned themselves into factions upon appearing, some belonging to Blood Ring, others to the Swedish Rebel Army, and still others to the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army!

These young and promising squads of Awakened were like drops of water merging into the sea, joining the battlefield one after another.

The First Legion of the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army appeared in the southern region of the battlefield.

According to a secretly forged alliance, they would launch an attack behind enemy lines of the Blood Ring Army, forming a pincer attack with the Swedish Rebel Army from the south and north!

A howling Dead Plague swung its mutated black claws, slowly yet swiftly grabbing at an Expeditionary Soldier.

The soldier, appearing to be a rookie, was scratched and retreated in a panic.

Alongside him, a long spear thrust forward as an experienced Expeditionary Soldier charged with the spear in both hands, like a wild bull, forcing the Dead Plague to stagger backwards.

However, with the Dead Plague's passive ability of a corpse-like body, gaining extra armor value, the spear was only able to pierce the surface of its rigid skin!

Another experienced soldier slashed fiercely, leaving deep cuts of varying depths on the Dead Plague's body, shouting, "What are you dawdling for, rookie!"

The injured rookie snapped to attention, gritting his teeth, holding the spear horizontal, and lunging to pierce the other side of the Dead Plague's shoulder pit! Two spears broke the skin, hindering the Dead Plague's movement significantly, which was ultimately beheaded by the veteran soldier.

Seeing the fallen Dead Plague, the newly promoted soldier felt a surge of pride; he was now also a veteran.

But before they could celebrate, a deep rumble cut through diagonally, a thorn-laden heavy hammer came whistling in.

The rookie was partially obliterated by the blow, the mangled flesh sticking to the thorn hammer, blood dripping down!

The wielder of the thorn hammer was a Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior, clad in Blood Ring Heavy Armor, eyes gleaming with feral intent. He emitted a growl, possibly disdainful or exhilarated, as the thorn hammer swung again.

The two remaining veterans faced him head-on, aware that their strength was vastly inferior to this elite-level Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior, yet they couldn't flee! On this chaotic battlefield, the quickest to die were cowards who turned their backs on the enemy!

After a few exchanges, the Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior had the two soldiers coughing blood and retreating. Another hammer swung down onto one veteran's head.

A sword slashed in sideways, striking the side of the hammer, skewing it off course.

"Captain Yingwa!" The two soldiers, having narrowly escaped death, were overjoyed.

Yingwa, displaying a notable leadership presence, nodded steadily, his sword stained with the black blood of Dead Plagues, "Let's take him down together!"

Seeing the thorn hammer charging once more, Yingwa stepped forward, striking the Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior with the iron shield in his left hand, causing a stagger and then thrusting his right-hand sword.

Despite their injuries, the two soldiers lunged with a spear and curved saber respectively, launching a flanking assault on the Blood Ring Heavy Hammer Warrior.

Fights like these were playing out all over the battlefield, with people dying every second.

General Cwieg, astride his warhorse, wielded his riding spear, each strike at least piercing a Dead Plague!

When encountering Blood Ring Elite Soldiers, his riding spear would swing agilely, often skewing the opponent's weapon in a single exchange, then the spear darting out like a venomous dragon, skewering the Blood Ring Elite Soldier and slamming them down, heavily injuring them!

[Long Spear Stabbing]!

At General Cwieg's flanks were his loyal guards, each holding a large shield, loyally protecting him. Behind General Cwieg followed the elite of the First Legion's Expeditionary Army!

Using General Cwieg as the spearhead, the creatures of Blood Ring became like tilled land, rolling away on either side.

Also dazzling on the battlefield were numerous leader-level mighty warriors! They stood like reefs amidst the waves, unyielding despite the wind and rain, continually shattering the waves crashing against them!
