Everyone stared at Jack's back, stunned.
They found themselves unable to react for a long time.
The shorter man almost bit his tongue, "Am I dreaming?! He really entered the top training ground? That's a place
you need twenty-seven points to enter!"
The more he spoke, the more absurd he felt it was.
Everyone collectively thought that the first training ground out of the seven was just a dummy. It was just there to
be a place everyone cast their longing eyes on.
No one thought that anyone would be able to enter the best training ground. That was because entering that place

Yet, they had just witnessed someone taking out a red token and opening the red door, entering the top training
ground.
Someone actually did it!
"Ouch! It hurts! I'm not dreaming!" Someone pinched himself.
The pain made him realize that he was not seeing things. Someone really did manage to enter the first training
ground, the place he thought no one would ever be able to enter.
The exclamations behind him did nothing to slow Jack down.
A rumble came from behind him as the door completely shut. Only then did Jack observe his surroundings.
He was in a strange world. As he looked at the sky, he saw the colors of the rainbow everywhere.
The seven colors blended as if seven different dyes had been poured into a completely clear pond. Just like the
outside world, he was surrounded by distorted space. The distortion did not hurt him at all.
Everywhere around him had a sense of emptiness to it. Only a pond in the middle that seemed to radiate a silver
light seemed real. The silver pond should be the most important part of the first training ground.
Jack slowly walked to the pond and sent his senses out to feel it.
He was surprised to notice that the moment his senses touched the pond, they dissolved and dispersed. It was like a
drop of water disappearing in an ocean.
Jack raised an eyebrow as he reached a finger out to gently touch the pond. Yet, the moment his skin touched the
pond, he felt as if his finger was being pricked by needles.

He was shocked to notice that the part where the skin had touched the pond seemed to have dissolved. Just like his
senses, as long as he touched the pond, he would be dissolved.
Jack's lips trembled as he started to doubt his earlier judgment. He had thought that the pond was the training
ground, but he was hesitating at that moment.
The training ground was a place for warriors to improve their understanding, and not meant to hurt warriors.
Everything that touched the pond seemed to be dissolved instantly. Jack even started to wonder if his whole body
and soul would be dissolved if he stepped inside.
Right at that moment, a wizened voice was heard in the air, "Participant, immediately enter the Chaos Water. You
will have nine days to train! Once nine days are up, you are to leave the Chaos Water!"
Hearing that, Jack was stunned. He even wondered if he misheard things. He really needed to enter the pond? The
name Chaos Water made it sound like it could be a fruitful place, but everything that touched the water seemed to
instantly dissolve!
