Chapter 322: The Beginning of the Era of Warriors

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were many undercurrents on the blue planet.

This was especially true for the western world. The leaders of the large countries met many times in private.

Some suggested working together with the Daxia Kingdom, some suggested lowering their heads and recognizing the Daxia Kingdom as the new global leader, and some suggested forming a stronger alliance…

However, there was no single suggestion that won the approval of the majority of the leaders.

The reason was that Chen Yiming had been hiding in a province of the Daxia Kingdom and it was unclear what his attitude towards other countries was.

This made the heads of the countries who wanted to secretly suck up to the Daxia Kingdom hesitant.

They were afraid that if they took the initiative to lower themselves and approach him, he would not look up to them or care about them, and they would lose their place in the alliance.

…

Another half a month had passed since the corpse of the deformed monster was sent to the Jiangnan province’s biological research institute. During this time, two small incidents had occurred.

Fortunately, the provincial government and military martial arts experts, including Chen Yiming, were secretly monitoring the situation and quickly dealt with it. This didn’t affect the progress of the research on the power of corruption.

With the hard work of all the researchers from the provincial biological research institute, a few important results were quickly obtained.

A type of suppressant was developed that could be injected into wounds. It could prevent the power of corruption from spreading for a short period of time, ensuring that one would not instantly lose their combat strength in battle.

However, there were many limitations. It would mostly be used for superficial injuries.

......

If one’s organs were invaded by the power of corruption, the suppressant could not be used. Forcefully using it would cause permanent damage to the organs, and there was a high chance that one would die in battle.

A special alloy was also developed that could greatly increase one’s resistance to the power of corruption when fused into a weapon. It could ensure that one would not fall into the predicament of fighting an enemy with their bare hands in battle.

What required further improvement was that the overall performance of the formula that was unintentionally developed still had to be optimized. At the moment, it could increase one’s resistance to the power of corruption, but it had decreased one’s other attributes.

A type of stimulant was also developed that could be injected before fighting with deformed monsters or ghosts. It could continuously stimulate the nerves and effectively negate spiritual attacks.

The disadvantage was that there were many side effects. It was impossible to guarantee that it would not cause spiritual injuries. It was similar to the trauma from war, and it required time and more data to be improved.

…

In East Lake City, Chen Yiming walked along the street. He had only been gone for less than a month, but the city had changed a lot.

In a little over half a month, other than the fact that there were more people and more people, the types of shops on the street had also clearly changed. There were a few types that were the most eye-catching.

There was a registration point for warrior-level hunting teams. Those above the warrior realm would lead the teams into the trial grounds to fight.

The trial grounds was currently divided into three regions. The outer area was 50 to 100 kilometers away from the 10,000-meter-long corpse. The inner area was 10 to 50 kilometers away from the 10,000-meter-long corpse. The middle area was 10 kilometers away from the 10,000-meter-long corpse.

The trial grounds’ supply shops were operated by the provincial government. They sold equipment and medicine to fight against the deformed monsters and ghosts.

There were also scalpers who were selling the slots where experts from the province went to various universities to conduct classes. They specially introduced the deformed monsters and ghosts, explaining the details that needed to be taken note of in battle, techniques, and so on.

“Handsome, do you want to know more about the Golden Spear Hunting Team?”

When Chen Yiming stopped by the roadside, a beautiful woman carrying a flyer walked over in her high heels.

Chen Yiming was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Oh, forget it. I just returned from Jiangnan City. I heard that the mortality rate in the trial grounds is extremely high. I’m not in a rush and want to observe the situation first.”

“Handsome, how can you think like that? You have to know that you can enter the trial grounds for free now. After a while, it might become like going from the base city to the stronghold in the otherworld. You will have to pay a high fee,” the beauty smiled back and continued.

Chen Yiming thought to himself, “As expected, beauties are all experts. They don’t even blush when they lie.

The trial grounds is not located in the otherworld, but on the blue planet. Furthermore, the area is 100 kilometers wide. It’s impossible for the military to have such a huge amount of manpower and resources to seal off such a large area of wilderness and restrict entry.”

He shrugged and said helplessly, “I’m still far from being a warrior candidate. I know my limits.”

The beauty was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she covered her mouth and laughed. “It’s alright. Handsome, you must have a lot of potential since you’re so young. You can also look for me if you need a spot in the expert course at East Lake University!”

With that, she handed over a business card.

Chen Yiming took the business card and stuffed it into his pocket. He glanced at it and found out that the beautiful woman was the sales manager in an agency.

Did the sales manager need to go out on the street to distribute flyers?

It had to be fake. She was clearly a salesperson.

In this day and age, all those who tried to trick others liked to pretend to have a high status.

“Handsome, goodbye!”

The beauty waved her hand and smiled charmingly before turning to leave in her high heels.

Chen Yiming took out her business card and threw it into the trash can by the roadside.

…

When Chen Yiming returned home, he realized that Father Chen, Mother Chen, and Chen Yingying were all there.

It was daytime, and Chen Yingying should be studying in the martial arts academy at this time. However, she was at home today.

Father Chen and Mother Chen were pleasantly surprised but also worried when they saw Chen Yiming return.

Where did he go for more than half a month this time? Was the matter there very serious?

How was the food? Where did he live?

“I’ve been staying in Jiangnan City and helping to monitor the corpse of the deformed monster. Not only is it not dangerous, but I didn’t have to do much. The food and accommodation were arranged by the provincial government,”

Chen Yiming explained with a smile. He understood Father Chen and Mother Chen’s worries. They were probably judging the severity of the matter based on how long he had been out.

In reality, although the sneak attack on the treants and the excavation of the 10,000-meter-long corpse were all done in a day, the danger involved was much greater.

“That’s good! That’s good! You’ve already practiced martial arts to this extent. Remember to play it safe and don’t force yourself to take on anything that is beyond your ability,” Mother Chen said with red eyes.

“After the news station announced the news about the 10,000-meter-long corpse, I didn’t see you return for half a month. Your mother often can’t fall asleep. When I asked the leaders in East Lake City, they didn’t know the details,” Father Chen said.

Other than Chen Yiming himself, even Wang Ronghui and the four-man team from the capital didn’t know much about the 10,000-meter-long corpse.

They only knew that the corpse was unimaginably terrifying when it was alive, and that Chen Yiming had dug it out from under the ground in the otherworld.

What they knew more about was only the deformed monster.

Chen Yiming didn’t say anything to them about the mysterious symbols. He didn’t think much of it for the time being.

“Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. I just asked him to do something, but he’s not reliable at all. He doesn’t understand anything,” Mother Chen muttered.

“Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ve always thought twice before acting. I won’t do anything I’m not confident of,” Chen Yiming quickly patted his chest and promised.

With that, he turned to Chen Yingying and changed the topic. “Why aren’t you at school today?”

“Brother, I broke through!” Chen Yingying, who had been quietly waiting at the side, said excitedly.

“Yes!” Chen Yiming was taken aback, but he quickly reacted and nodded.

He thought to himself,?“This prodigal daughter, I guess I didn’t take so much miracle blood for her in vain.”

He had asked Chen Yingying to apply the miracle blood on her skin so that her skin could absorb it naturally and improve her physique. Although it was safe and had no side effects, it was the least effective way to use it.

In the research institute, when the researchers did experiments, they used it by the drop.

In the bloodline warrior training base, the reserve bloodline warriors would inject the blood essence that had the miracle blood in it. One tube of miracle blood could be split into four to five portions.

In addition, very few people could obtain one or two tubes of miracle blood and use them directly to inject it into their bodies to make full use of it to improve their physique.

Father Chen and Mother Chen also smiled again. Clearly, Chen Yingying had successfully broken through to the warrior realm. If not for the fact that they were worried about Chen Yiming, who had been away from home for a while, they would have held a celebration for her.

Chen Yingying continued, “Brother, when are you free to bring me to that place called the trial grounds? The teachers all said that although it’s dangerous, it’s an excellent place for cultivation.”

“No problem,” Chen Yiming agreed after some thought.

If he left Chen Yingying at the stronghold in the otherworld for a long time, he would not be able to feel completely at ease without the spiritual figure nearby to protect her.

However, the trial grounds were different. One could enter during the day and come out at night. Then, they could settle down in the military camp around it.

Furthermore, the trial grounds could not only provide a cultivation environment similar to the otherworld with its essence energy, but also temper one’s will in the fight against the power of corruption.

This was something that the stronghold from the otherworld could not compare to.

The strength of one’s will happened to be an important factor that led to further progress in martial arts above the warrior realm.

…

At the border of Jiangnan province, ever since the 10,000-meter-long corpse was revealed, Jiangnan province had another treasure that was being coveted by others. The military greatly increased the patrols at the border of the province.

A team of soldiers was patrolling the wilderness. The target of their patrol was the refugees from Southeast Asia.

More than a month ago, Jiangnan province had even planned to allow the refugees to enter the city. They would be captured and arranged to build roads, transport, and perform other dangerous jobs in the wilderness.

However, with the birth of the trial grounds, a large number of people from the other provinces in the Daxia Kingdom had started to flow to Jiangnan province, including the various martial arts factions in other provinces.

This indirectly increased the overall martial arts level of Jiangnan province.

At this time, due to the frequent activities of countless martial arts experts in the wilderness, the danger of those who needed to work in the wilderness had already decreased greatly. The citizens would naturally protest that the refugees from Southeast Asia were fighting for jobs with their own people.

To many ordinary people, the trial grounds indeed had nothing to do with them, but it might have something to do with their children. No one wanted foreigners to enter for free at this time. The competition would become even more intense for their children.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the grass in the distance.

“Who is it!”

The soldiers immediately stopped in their tracks and raised their guns, ready to fire at any moment.

There was no more movement in the grass, as if the earlier disturbance was caused by the wind. However, the soldier recalled that there was no wind earlier.

“Bang!”

A moment later, the officer leading the team suddenly fired into the sky.

There was a movement in the bushes, but when they realized that the bullets were not fired at them, they instantly calmed down.

“Come out. If you don’t come out, I’ll really shoot you,” the officer threatened loudly and fired another warning shot.

Not long after, more than 10 refugees in tattered clothes got up with their hands raised. They spoke in a foreign language that most of the soldiers could not understand.

“Don’t shoot! We’re humans, not mutant beasts.”

The officer assigned to the border of the province had taken some language lessons. In the same foreign language, he told the refugees, “Jiangnan province has already implemented a new policy that does not allow unidentified people to enter the province. It is impossible for illegal immigrants to find a job. We suggest that you either return to your country or find a job in the neighboring provinces for the time being.”

“Alright!”

“We’ll leave now.”

The refugees looked at each other and did not dare to get into a conflict with the military, even though there was a rather strong leader among them.

His strength was not bad. He could basically come and go freely in the wilderness, but it was nothing compared to the martial arts environment in Jiangnan province where experts were as common as clouds.

In fact, the refugees from Southeast Asia were in a more dangerous situation, especially in the trial grounds. Logically speaking, no one was willing to let foreigners fight for opportunities with them.

…

After dinner, Chen Yiming was dragged out by Chen Yingying to buy some common items needed when one entered the trial grounds.

Before leaving, Chen Yingying said, “Don’t help unless my life is in danger. Otherwise, I won’t be able to strengthen my willpower at all.”

Chen Yiming agreed readily. He thought to himself, “It’s a good thing to be confident, but you can’t be arrogant. You’ll know how scary it is tomorrow. You’ll come crying to me.”

The two of them arrived at a specialized shop selling supplies for the trial grounds in the business district.

The boss was an enthusiastic middle-aged man. He greeted the customers and asked them to look around. They could just get whatever they liked and settle the bill at the counter.

Chen Yingying followed the expert’s recommendations and chose one item after another, including medicine, special arrows, and some small items that could interfere with the deformed monsters.

Chen Yiming had no interest in this and waited not far away.

At this moment, two young girls walked towards Chen Yiming. They picked up the items on the shelves and looked at them before putting them back. They didn’t seem to have any intention of buying them.

The two of them were about the same age as Chen Yingying. They looked 99% alike and were almost the same height. They should be twin sisters.

The only difference was that one had tied up her hair, while the other had long hair that fell naturally to her shoulders.

Chen Yiming noticed the swords hanging from the girls’ waists. On the scabbards were the words “Mantis Snake Sword School”.

“Can you make way? You are blocking the Spirit Slaying Sword on the shelf,” the girl with her hair tied up walked over and said with a red face.

“Cough, cough!”

Chen Yiming pretended to cough and moved aside. “You guys are disciples of the Mantis Snake Sword School, right? It’s not that easy to enter the trial grounds.”

What he meant was that they were young and talented, so they should not be in a hurry to go there. They should cultivate in the martial arts school for a few more years first.

However, it sounded a little strange coming from him. Chen Yiming was a young and handsome man, but he was giving suggestions in the tone of an elder.

“My sister is the new eldest senior sister of the Mantis Snake Sword School. Don’t look down on us just because we are young.”

The long-haired girl beside him glared at him unhappily.

The girl with her hair tied up turned around and tugged at her sister’s sleeve. Then, she quickly apologized. “My sister is too straightforward. She actually doesn’t have any ill intentions. Don’t mind her!”

Chen Yiming’s gaze landed on the girl with her hair tied up.

He had not noticed earlier that this young girl with her hair tied up was actually a true warrior, and her aura was very stable.

To have such control at this age, it meant that she had astonishing talent.

However, such a talented young girl had only just become the new eldest senior sister of the Mantis Snake Sword School in East Lake City. She had yet to enter the Myriad Phenomena Sect to further her cultivation.
