Chapter 51: Mounts! [First update]
The first update is here. I finally got up during the day. I miss it.
…
After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the once-in-six-year 72-island genius war finally came to an end.
At the top of the mountain, on the towering battle platform.
Six figures were lined up in a row, some male and some female, all of them looked normal, some were tall and slender, some were handsome, some were tall and rugged, and some were graceful. Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, they stood there without any stage fright, looking extremely graceful, as if there were flowers blooming and wonderful music playing.
The purple-robed old man stood in mid-air, looking at the six most outstanding people in front of him, smiling, and said: "You are able to stand to the end, and your qualifications are all excellent. Work harder. I hope that you can step into the realm of God in your thirties. I also hope to see that in a few decades, you will come back here as the masters of the Six Gods Island in the Inner Sea with your trained children!"
Except for Ye Chen, Huang Feng, Zi Wan and others all had a bright look in their eyes, and their fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
In the Genius Rest Area not far from the stage, many people were somewhat dejected after their defeat. However, after hearing these words, their eyes suddenly brightened. They clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, preparing to practice ten or a hundred times harder after returning. This battle was just the beginning of their lives...
With just a few words, the purple-robed old man aroused the fighting spirit of these young men. With a smile on his face, he waved his hand, and two powerful king-level warriors in the distance came through the air, holding a golden treasure chest.
The purple-robed old man raised his hand and without any gesture, the treasure chest slowly opened. Six things floated out of it and floated in front of Ye Chen and others. They were weapons, medicines, and special items.
"This is the Long Kui Armor. Its physical defense can withstand a force of 500,000 kg. It also has an internal gas shield that can resist the fifth-level king-grade force attack. It has a laser hole and can activate the 'Dragon Roar' once a day..."
The purple-shirted old man pointed to a piece of golden soft leather armor and then gave a detailed introduction to several other items.
"This is a small individual aircraft that can be transformed into an arm guard..."
"This is a dragon bone sword, extremely sharp, able to cut the fur of a seventh-level king-grade monster..."
"These are flying boots..."
After the treasure introduction was finished, Zi Wan ranked first, so she was the first to be eligible to choose. She pondered for a moment and chose the Longkui armor. Huang Cang, who ranked second, chose the dragon bone sword. Ye Chen thought for a moment and chose the small aircraft. He considered that he often had to explore various ruins and often entered some dangerous places. Flying with strength was too consuming, so having a small aircraft was a good choice.
This aircraft is pitch black and shaped like an arm guard. It can usually stay on the arm and can resist attacks from energy and objects below the third level of the royal grade.
Ye Chen put it on. At this time, all the contestants had finished choosing their items. The purple-shirted old man looked at everyone and said with a smile, "The treasures only increase your fighting power. You can't rely on them too much. In many cases, you still have to rely on yourself! Now, all of you go back and rest for a day. Gather at the top of the mountain tomorrow. I will take you to the Dragon King Holy Land."
"Yes!" The six of them clasped their fists together.
Then, after the purple-robed old man turned and left, they all dispersed.
"Ye Chen, do you want to take a hot spring bath?" Huang Feng turned and looked at Ye Chen, saying with a smile.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I have something else to do."
"Okay then." Huang Feng didn't force it and grinned, "Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow." He was in a good mood to be able to squeeze into the top six.
Ye Chen waved goodbye, then turned back to his dormitory.
In the distance, a figure looked at Ye Chen's departing back with a complicated expression. This person was Huang Zheng. He had never imagined that this short outsider actually possessed such powerful strength!
He was silent for a moment, then followed.
Dongdong...
Ye Chen walked into the courtyard, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and then heard a knock on the door. He didn't even look at it and said calmly, "Come in."
Squeak! The door was pushed open, and Huang Zheng walked in with his head down, feeling a little uneasy. He came in front of Ye Chen, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I, I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry for what happened before..."
Ye Chen took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "Anything else?"
Huang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly looked at Ye Chen's expression. Seeing that he showed no joy or sadness, he couldn't tell what he was thinking. He gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me!" Then he bowed deeply.
Ye Chen glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "If you're fine, go ahead. I still need to practice."
Huang Zheng smiled bitterly and turned away helplessly. He thought to himself, I don't know how long this person will stay here, it's always a good idea to maintain a better relationship with him. A real man can bend and stretch. It will be too easy for this person to discipline me in the future, so I might as well apologize first.
Ye Chen looked at his departing back, shook his head, drank the tea, and then sat cross-legged to practice. As for Huang Zheng's matter, he completely forgot about it. He didn't care about such a small person at all. After all, he was just a passerby.
His energy surged and enveloped the surroundings. He saw that there was no one in Huang Lu's room next to him. He couldn't help but frown slightly. He hadn't seen Huang Lu for several days and didn't know where he had gone.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen collected his thoughts.
"I wonder what's inside the Dragon Emperor Holy Land? From the looks of it, it's probably a training!" Ye Chen thought about tomorrow's events, pondered for a while, then turned on the detector on the rune spaceship to monitor the surroundings. He grabbed an energy crystal core of a level 5000 magma monster with his palm, and forcibly absorbed it by swallowing strength!
hiss~~
Lines of pure energy flow through the meridians in the body, making the originally dry meridians become full. The meridians are slowly expanded and enlarged bit by bit. Under the pressure of the energy, the flesh and blood are constantly transforming with subtle changes, and the blood vessels are becoming more and more crystal clear, like jade, emitting a faint glow.
call out!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The blood-red energy crystal core was like a whale playing in the water. It was enveloped and swallowed by the black light in the palm of the hand, causing Ye Chen's internal strength to rise from the early stage of the fourth stage of the strength master to the peak of the middle stage. He was only one step away from breaking through to the late stage!
Ye Chen opened his eyes. During the short period of cultivation, a day had passed quickly. It was not uncommon for many powerful people to cultivate for several months.
Dong~~
The bell on the top of the mountain rang. Ye Chen washed himself, put on black feather armor, explosive boots and other equipment, and came to the top of the mountain. From afar, he saw Huang Feng and others had already arrived. Each of them stood leaning against the wind, with a faint light in their eyes, as if they were looking forward to it, looking forward to it, and excited.
The old man in purple saw them coming, nodded slightly and said, "Everyone is here, follow me." As he spoke, his figure moved, floated up, and flew away into the distance.
Everyone quickly flew up and followed the purple-robed old man.
Ye Chen took a look and suddenly had an idea. He took out the flying device on his arm and pressed the mechanism. With a "click", the flying device the size of the arm guard flew up. A green light appeared from the center and then extended to the surroundings like a spider thread. Then, the arm guard automatically disassembled and transformed from the size of an arm into a mechanical lion. It was dark gold in color and had a single horn on its head. At first glance, it was no different from a real lion.
Ye Chen was a little surprised. He jumped onto the lion's back and drove the mechanical lion to follow the purple-shirted old man and others. There was an instrument on the back of the mechanical lion's neck, which could show the driving speed. There were also acceleration and deceleration buttons next to it, as well as automatic tracking, energy navigation system, etc.
"Top speed, 360 kilometers per hour!" Ye Chen looked at the display screen, secretly shocked. If this aircraft was placed outside, with the gravity weakened, the speed would increase tenfold to 3,600 kilometers per hour! With the current spiritual civilization technology, the fastest aircraft can only reach a speed of 2,500 kilometers per hour, and this individual aircraft is so fast that once it starts, it can even beat a demigod!
"It's powerful enough, but I'm afraid it consumes a lot of energy..." Ye Chen looked at the energy bar, which was currently full. There was a sophisticated instrument on it calculating the consumption. Fortunately, he had the Energy Tree, otherwise he would be reluctant to use it.
Riding on the mechanical lion, Ye Chen quickly caught up with the purple-shirted old man and others. He reduced his speed to about 15 kilometers per hour, keeping the same speed as Zi Wan and others.
Huang Feng and the others who relied on their own strength to fly looked at Ye Chen sitting on the mechanical lion with surprise and some envy, but they did not regret their original choice. If they were to choose again, they would still choose armor and weapons. After all, this mechanical lion was just a flying device that could only be used for transportation, and it consumed a lot of energy, which was not cost-effective.
As everyone flew over a large mountain range, Ye Chen sat on the mechanical lion and looked down. He saw green hillsides rushing behind him. Not long after, a large basin appeared in everyone's sight in the distance.
"Go down!" the old man in purple said in a deep voice. His figure moved and flew down.
Ye Chen and the others did not ask any more questions and flew along, shuttling through the jungle. Occasionally, monsters rushed out and were killed. Not long after, they came to a towering stone gate and stopped.
The purple-robed old man took a step forward and came to the stone gate, only to see a red light suddenly shot out from the door, reflecting in the purple-robed old man's pupils. Not long after, the stone gate opened with a bang.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, his expression was normal, and he followed behind. Under the guidance of the purple-robed old man, after passing through the stone gate, a vast square appeared in front of everyone.
At the end of the square, there is a jade disk, which is crystal clear and extremely majestic and towering, like a large natural jade, perfectly formed by nature.
Huang Feng, Zi Wan and the others looked around in surprise, they had not expected that the Dragon Emperor Holy Land would look like this, neither sinister nor gorgeous, but extremely simple, yet revealing a majestic aura.
"Starting from today, you will be eligible to stay here for three months!" The purple-robed old man looked at Ye Chen and others and said, "After three months, you must leave! If there is anything you don't want to do, someone will come to explain it to you later." After saying that, he looked at the six people again, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
After he left, Ye Chen looked around and suddenly saw a place in the east. His pupils shrank immediately.
