The Catacombs Gate

20th of June.

MCMAU hall.

97 students. All fully armed.

Tang Feng, a Rank-5 and three Rank-4 instructors. Altogether there were 5 instructors, all armed to the teeth. They had made all the necessary preparations to enter the Catacombs.

The team was over a hundred-man strong, with the majority being Rank-2 martial artists. It had been many years since MCMAU last sent such a lineup into the Catacombs.

The three Grandmasters, the old vice-chancellor, Wu Kuishan, and Huang Jing, had all arrived.

…

"All of you are the backbone of MCMAU. The backbone of Sino Nation

The old vice-chancellor's voice was strong and sonorous as he declared loudly, "I hope that all of you can return safely. I hope that someday, all of you can achieve high ranks!"

"I also hope that your greatest achievements lie in the future and not the present!"
