The Grilled Realm Beast

The store was lively, and the anticipation was palpable.

For those still waiting their turn, there wasn't much to do except pass the time watching others immerse themselves in their games.

The ten gaming seats were all occupied, and the monitors displayed vastly different scenes. Watching the variety of content, many couldn't help but feel curious about just how many recipes the so-called cooking tutorial contained.

Time passed quickly, and soon, the three-hour session for the first group of Soaring Cloud Academy students came to an end.

Reluctantly, the players removed their helmets, clearly dissatisfied with having to leave. However, their expressions also carried excitement and satisfaction.

In these three short hours, they had gained more insight and experience than they ever had in their academy.

Now, the most crucial task was to digest everything they had seen and learned—and transform that knowledge into real power.

After bidding farewell to Murong Haitang, Luo Chuan, and Yao Ziyan, the ten students hurriedly left Origin Mall and made their way back to Drunken Moon Pavilion together, eager to reflect on their experiences.

Meanwhile, Bu Lige grinned as he finally claimed a seat.

"Finally, it's our turn! I've been waiting for this!" he said excitedly, almost bouncing with anticipation.

The group of new players quickly filled the available seats, leaving just one spot open. After some thought, Luo Chuan decided to take it himself.

To be honest, he was still curious about the cooking tutorial.

As he put on the gaming helmet, Luo Chuan entered the familiar white starting space. He navigated to the Tower of Trials icon, and as soon as he selected it, the scene around him transformed.

He found himself standing in a modern kitchen. The sleek countertops and shiny appliances glinted under the bright lights.

The same was true for the others who had entered alongside him.

Luo Chuan turned his attention to the bottom of the screen, where a translucent menu appeared, listing a dazzling array of dishes.

"System, which dish is the most advanced among these?" Luo Chuan asked curiously.

The system responded: "There are too many dishes with high ratings. The system cannot provide a definitive answer."

Luo Chuan sighed. "Fine. Just recommend the highest-rated one."

"Grilled Realm Beast," the system replied.

"Realm Beast?" Luo Chuan murmured. "What kind of creature is that?"

Though he was curious, he didn't hesitate. "Alright, let's go with that."

As soon as he confirmed his choice, his surroundings shifted, and he felt himself merging into another body.

When he opened his eyes, Luo Chuan realized he was now in the first-person perspective of someone else—a black-robed figure.

The environment was surreal. Around him stretched an endless void, dotted with countless twinkling stars.

"Is this... the universe?" Luo Chuan wondered, marveling at the scene.

Suddenly, a strange, colossal creature emerged from the void, its appearance indescribable. Its entire form radiated an oppressive, dark aura.

Its sheer size was staggering, rivaling that of entire stars.

"This must be the Realm Beast," Luo Chuan thought, his heart pounding in anticipation.

The system's voice echoed in his mind: "The first and most critical step in preparing Grilled Realm Beast is to slaughter the Realm Beast…"

The black-robed figure sprang into action.

A blood-red sword materialized in his hand, and without hesitation, he swung it downward.

The strike was monstrous, tearing through time and space itself. The surrounding void rippled violently, and nearby planets burst apart like fragile bubbles.

Sensing imminent danger, the Realm Beast emitted a black glow. Strange laws of reality swirled around it as its body began to turn illusory, attempting to escape.

Luo Chuan's breath caught. Even this fearsome creature, born of destruction, dared not confront the power of the sword directly.

But the black-robed figure remained unfazed. The blade's light flashed again, cutting through the creature's defenses. The Realm Beast's body became solid once more, its life force extinguished in an instant.

From the first-person perspective, Luo Chuan watched the entire scene unfold. His heart raced with excitement, the sheer power leaving him in awe.

"One day, I'll reach this level of strength," he thought resolutely.
