Duke's spiritual power probed into the Six-Ring Badge, checking the courses he had enrolled in, and then activated the rapid arrival function inside, causing a Light Gate to appear before him.
He walked along the cobblestone path towards the barrier Light Gate.
The moment he passed through the Light Gate, the ground beneath his feet suddenly gave way; it wasn't truly stepping into emptiness, but rather the sensation shift from soft meadow to hard stone slabs.
Then Duke found himself standing on a suspended gallery bridge.
The bridge surface was about three yards wide, paved with some kind of faintly glowing gray-white stone, with waist-high hollow railings on either side.
Looking down through the railing, there was a void that was several hundred yards deep, with the silhouettes of islands and the dark blue sea faintly visible below.
In the distance, countless similar gallery bridges criss-crossed, connecting the islands into a three-dimensional transportation network.
