Chapter 157 'Blood Armor Battle Soul', Cai Chen: Are you questioning me?

Cai Chen felt a familiar dizzying sensation... it was the feeling he had every time he entered a dungeon.

When he came to his senses, he found himself no longer in the community garden, but in a desolate wilderness with a chilling wind blowing.

The world was shrouded in darkness, and ghostly figures could be vaguely seen.

The ground was covered with stark white bones.

Cai Chen stared blankly at the scenery before him, even forgetting the familiar reprimand he had heard earlier.

Thinking of something, he suddenly turned around and looked around... but it was empty, there was nothing there.

Just as he was wondering what to do next, a smiling voice sounded behind him: "Looking for me?"

Cai Chen suddenly turned his head.

Then he saw that familiar, elegant figure, who had appeared behind him at some point.

...They really are elusive.

"Who...who are you?"

Cai Chen stared intently at the mysterious man.

This time, the mysterious man didn't pretend to be mysterious anymore. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself... I come from Paradise, codename 'Boss'."

paradise?

Cai Chen was stunned for a moment. Why did this name seem so familiar?

He frowned, and after a moment, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.

I thought of the record holder for 'Frost Rift Valley'.

That being named 'Frost'... isn't the team marked 'Paradise'?!

He gasped, then tentatively asked, "That frost..."

"Oh? It seems you've heard of Paradise? Frost is indeed a member of Paradise."

Qin Fang raised an eyebrow, then smiled.

Yes, the amusement park in Jindong City is actually quite famous.

Gu Yiyun has broken many records here.

It even provoked a massacre by the Three-Eyed Clan.

This should also spread the name of the amusement park quite widely.

Although... it's not as big as Iron Fang and Spirit Platform.

Qin Fang's admission left Cai Chen's mind in a state of confusion.

An organization with members of epic classes... suddenly finds itself. What is it supposed to do?

And... where is this place?

He subconsciously turned his head to look around.

"Don't worry, I know you have many questions, and I will answer them one by one for you."

Qin Fang could see Cai Chen's doubts and unease, and he smiled to reassure him.

Upon hearing this, Cai Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and after a moment, forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart. He opened his eyes and looked at Qin Fang: "Then what do you want from me? I'm just an ordinary member of the Combat Division..."

"I'm not contacting you because of your identity in the Combat Division, but because... I want to invite you to join Paradise."

Qin Fang smiled.

"Join the park? Invite me?" Cai Chen was completely taken aback by what the other party said and was momentarily speechless.

Do you remember what happened today that made you angry?

Qin Fang suddenly changed the subject.

Cai Chen was stunned, his face twitching slightly.

How could he not remember?

"How often do things like this happen?"

how?

Almost every instance outside the city is played out several times a day... How much is that?

"The inaction of the Combat Division must have made you angry and helpless, right?"

Every word the other person said seemed to resonate deep within him.

He moved his lips a few times, but finally shook his head with a bitter smile: "Yes, there's nothing I can do... What can I do? I'm just an ordinary clerk..."

Above him are team leaders, above the team leaders are captains, above the captains are chief captains, above the chief captains are deputy directors, and above the deputy directors are directors...

He was at the lowest level of the combat division.

What can he do?

"That's why I came."

Qin Fang looked at Cai Chen.

As the other person looked up at him in astonishment, he calmly said, "Similar things are not only happening in Jintong City, but in all cities of Xia Kingdom... Foreign races arbitrarily bully and discriminate against humans, disregarding the dignity of our people... and even their lives."

Cai Chen's face twitched slightly, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

"And the reason for this... in my opinion, is mostly due to the presence of active combat officers."

Cai Chen looked up at Qin Fang.

Qin Fang continued calmly, “The vast majority of those in charge of the War Divisions in the cities are filled with fear of foreign races and are cowardly before the battle even begins. They should be speaking up for their own people, but for various reasons, they choose to be servile and subservient to foreign races… If even the War Divisions cannot speak up for their own people, what can those who have been humiliated do but endure the humiliation?”

These words moved Cai Chen deeply. As a member of the Combat Division, he felt this sentiment even more strongly and clearly.

Putting everything else aside, just look at his colleague Li Hong who handled this matter today... Isn't it because he's afraid of causing trouble and affecting himself that he chose to 'humiliate' the human professionals, not only not helping to stand up for them, but also helping the alien race in order to keep the peace?

People like Li Hong make up a large proportion of the professional combat unit in Jindong City.

Especially the upper echelons!

If they hadn't been inactive, how could this have happened...?

"I know... but what can I do?"

Thinking of this, Cai Chen felt a wave of helplessness wash over him again.

"I came here because you gave me the solution."

Cai Chen was stunned, then heard the other party smile and say, "That's not right. Although the ceasefire agreement is the major premise, it shouldn't be something that only humans abide by while the other two races don't care."

"This should be a consensus among the three races."

“If the alien races have forgotten, then we should remind them and make them remember.”

Qin Fang looked at Cai Chen: "I invite you to join the Paradise. The Paradise will also give you the power and help to change your current situation... But you must also know that after you gain power, you need to bear the responsibilities that come with it. Otherwise, I will take back the power I have given you at any time... or even your life."

Cai Chen was a little confused.

"Don't doubt it. If you're willing, do you see that altar? Go up there and press your handprint on it, and you'll know what I mean by 'power'."

Cai Chen subconsciously turned his head and discovered that a mysterious black stone tablet had appeared on the previously empty wilderness.

Staring blankly at the stone tablet, Cai Chen turned to look at the mysterious man after a moment.

The mysterious man remained calmly in place, looking at him with a smile.

Cai Chen's breathing gradually became rapid. He sensed that this stone tablet possessed the power to change his destiny.

His mind drifted back to the experiences of the past year since he became a combat specialist, and finally, he gritted his teeth and walked toward the stone tablet.

Strange characters were inscribed on the stone tablet, but as he approached, these characters began to change, eventually transforming into the Xia Kingdom script that he recognized.

Kneel down! Mortals whose spines are about to break—

Your veins surge with ancient battle cries.

Your scars bear the mark of an unfulfilled promise!

Now I will temper your very soul with the embers of Ragnarok,

I will draw upon the arm of the God of War to bind your tendons!

Look! The bubbling, crimson heart of this cauldron:

The shattered crown of the hero sank like dregs.

The shattered, god-slaying spear surged like boiling water;

Leap into it! Let divine blood mate with mortal iron,

Pain is the only holy spring of baptism!

Your name should be branded—

At the very end, a stain appeared, and Cai Chen almost instinctively wiped it with his hand...

Blood Armor Battle Soul

[Contract achieved!]

...

A dreamlike purple flame erupted, and Cai Chen retreated in shock. But he quickly realized that the purple flames weren't just burning on the stone tablet; they had also spread to his hands. Then, a look of horror crossed his face as he stared at his control panel...

The panel has undergone a dramatic change...

...

Name: Cai Chen

【Class: Blood Armor Warrior (Epic)】

...

An epic?!

It's an epic?!

Cai Chen's mind was in a whirl.

He instantly thought of that rumor...

So...it's all true!

Is there really such a mysterious altar that can change one's profession?

And... it's a direct transformation into an epic class?!

His eyes widened as he stared blankly at the panel.

Then something else came to mind.

paradise!

This power comes from the park!

This, this...

His eyes widened, and his heart pounded wildly at that moment!

"It seems you've made your choice, and I'm very happy."

The mysterious man smiled and spoke.

He turned to look at the other person, his mouth moving as if he wanted to ask something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Make good use of this power, and don't forget what I told you before... I can give it, and I can take it away. Do you understand what I mean?"

The mysterious man smiled, then added, "Oh, by the way, someone should be waiting for you when you go out. But you should know what you can and cannot say, right?"

"Well then... welcome to the park."

"When you have some free time, think of a code name for yourself...you might need it later."

"Well then...see you later."

...

The mysterious man disappeared.

Cai Chen stood there, stunned, staring blankly at his career panel.

After a long, long time, he took a deep breath and came to his senses.

Looking out at this empty expanse of sky and earth.

Hmm? How do I get out?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a flash of white light appeared on his body, and he vanished from the spot...

...

"They're out!"

A large number of people had already gathered downstairs in the residential area.

When Cai Chen came out, he heard a sound.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked around, only to realize that... the people surrounding him were all his colleagues!

"Cai Chen?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out in disbelief.

Cai Chen subconsciously turned his head to look... it was the team leader.

His eyes widened: "You went into that altar?!"

He couldn't believe it.

Cai Chen was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, another familiar voice rang out, tinged with gritted teeth: "He's from the Combat Division?"

The team leader immediately replied, "Yes, Team Leader Liu, he is my team member."

Cai Chen then looked at the second person whose voice sounded more familiar...

He remembered.

This voice had been heard when I entered the altar.

No wonder the voice sounded familiar; it turned out to be his captain.

A warrior of the second-tier elite class.

By the way, the brigade leader's house is also in this neighborhood...

"I just told you to stop, why didn't you obey?!"

The captain, surnamed Liu, was staring at him with bloodshot eyes, his gaze filled with rage.

Cai Chen was stunned at first, but quickly understood...

Captain Liu should have heard of this altar.

And...know some things.

So... does he also know where there is an amusement park?

"Answer me!!"

The captain, surnamed Liu, roared angrily.

Like a madman whose treasure has been stolen.

Cai Chen trembled subconsciously, but when his gaze fell on his purple panel, an indescribable anger suddenly surged uncontrollably.

Is it truly a case of being subservient to foreign powers but launching a fierce attack domestically?

He looked at his brand-new stats panel, and then at his final awakening skill...

He looked up at the angry captain.

Are you questioning me?

Cai Chen retorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the furious captain.

...The entire room fell silent!
