Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan only heard this one sentence;

Then, a great battle broke out!

Even with his current mid-stage Golden Core realm, he couldn't see the figures of the two people and the strange creature in the arena!

He only sensed countless aftershocks of energy, his mental energy dissipating... and his body was blown away...

Is this how battles between experts at the eighth realm are conducted?

Chu Yuan was initially quite pleased with himself, thinking that he was already able to deal with the strangeness of the seventh realm;

But now, that sense of pride has vanished from his heart...

Not long after, the world returned to clarity;

The shackles around Chu Yuan's neck seemed to lose their support and become illusory, which he forcefully broke free of.

"You little brat... you really know how to cause trouble." Zhu Long's voice came, and the next moment, Chu Yuan felt his shoulder being lightly patted twice;

"You've disguised yourself quite well. If I hadn't sensed your mental fluctuations, I wouldn't have recognized you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan deactivated the disguise of the Illusionary Demon Silk and said, "Thank you, Legion Commander... Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Xing Zhao nodded, looking Chu Yuan up and down;

Although he didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Zhu Long said, "Don't thank me yet... there's a fee."

Cheng Hui, 30,000 military merits.

Not just me, but your senior brother's share too.

"......"

Xing Zhao smiled and explained, "This is the rule... Otherwise, if everyone in danger asked for help, wouldn't things be chaotic?"

We are fellow disciples, but in the military, we must follow military rules.

"No problem." Chu Yuan readily agreed. The benefits he gained from this trip to the Soul Realm far exceeded tens of thousands of military merits!

What he valued most was, of course, the insights into the laws of the soul gained from refining the strange creature.

However, resources were not lacking. Mengyue herself had accumulated a large amount of resources produced in the Xuanjing, and she handed them all over to him!

Such as Yin Xuan Crystal, Mingyan Fruit, Luo Hun Jade...

These are all resources for the soul, either for nourishment or for crafting weapons specifically designed to harm the soul.

Whether he needs it or not, he can sell it for a good price.

Unfortunately, those strange beings that were refined did not receive their wealth...

The strange creatures don't need spatial rings; they can hide things inside their bodies, as if they were in a unique space.

Unless they hand it over voluntarily, no one can take it away.

While awarding military merits, Chu Yuan asked, "What about Bai Tu?"

"He's smart enough to back down... But what exactly did you do?"

"That old man is a coward, he rarely dares to come out, so why is he so angry this time?"

"It's nothing much, he just killed a few of his men..."

"The seventh realm?"

"Um......"

Zhu Long gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Xing Zhao asked in surprise, "Xue Hai told me before that you were only around the fifth realm... Did you make another breakthrough in the secret realm?"

"We have indeed gained something, thanks to our senior brother's military token!"

It took him several Boiling Source Pills to barely kill those seventh-realm monsters.

"No matter what the method, killing is killing... However, the strangeness of the Soldier Soul Profound Realm doesn't count as an enemy race, so it won't be recorded as a military merit for you."

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright."

"Your Jianmu project is about to end, and there probably won't be any more tasks."

Do you want to come stay at my place for a few days?

It's a good opportunity to meet the other disciples.

Chu Yuan thought for a moment: "Senior brother, I'd like to ask Elder Zhang Chen to heal a friend's injuries... but I don't know where to find him?"

Xing Zhao laughed: "What a coincidence, Elder Zhang is currently in the First Legion."

However, Mr. Zhang's appointments are fully booked right now, so if he wants treatment, he'll probably have to wait a few days.

"Then I'll visit you again later, senior brother."

"Okay." Xing Zhao nodded.

Zhu Long interjected, "You really need to go back first; the Bell Tower squad suffered significant losses this time..."

Chu Yuan was shocked. Yuan Yang and the others had clearly left beforehand, and there had been no strange obstruction. How could they have suffered injuries?

He asked urgently, "I watched them evacuate, how could they have suffered such heavy losses?!"

Zhu Long shook his head: "They did manage to withdraw safely from the Soul Realm, but they were ambushed by the Nightmare Insect Clan..."

Chu Yuan suddenly remembered that when he rescued Jiang Fei, they were indeed being besieged by the Nightmare Insect Clan, including one of them who was at the sixth realm!

But later, the sixth-realm Nightmare Insect Clan member escaped, and he was then entangled by something strange... so he didn't pay much attention to it anymore;

Is it because of him?

Xing Zhao frowned and looked into the distance: "Let's go first, those bugs are coming."

......

Inside the training room, Chu Yuan suddenly pushed open the door;

Yuan Yang looked up, his eyes wide with surprise, and exclaimed, "Chu Yuan! You're back!?"

"Captain, where is the others?" Chu Yuan asked after glancing around and seeing that only Yuan Yang was in the training room.

Yuan Yang's surprise seemed to fade, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes;

Wang Ying and Li Qi went to the sanatorium to visit Mengru;

Feng Hou... Feng Hou is dead.

Chu Yuan turned his head to look at the motorcycle in the corner of the training room, and remained silent;

Feng Hou had been modifying it, spending a lot of materials on the process... but before he could even drive it once, he gave it to him.

Chu Yuan has never opened it either; it's still here...

He inexplicably thought to himself, "I should have driven a few more laps."

"What exactly happened?"

Yuan Yang said in a deep voice, "There are Nightmare Insects lying in ambush at the exit of the Mystic Realm; we are no match for them..."

Xu Feiran's squad, along with two squads from the First Legion, also suffered casualties!

"Isn't anyone coming to meet us?!"

"Commander Lü has been waiting outside, but he was also entangled by the opponent's seventh realm..." Yuan Yang was grieving, but he didn't seem to have any intention of taking his anger out on others.

"If anyone's to blame, it's Feng Hou for not seizing the opportunity to break through to the Nirvana Realm..."

Chu Yuan said seriously, "How can you say that?"

"Yes, that's not how it works... but that's what Feng Hou said!" Yuan Yang said sadly, "I'll remember them... we will avenge Feng Hou."

Chu Yuan fell silent again;

Just like when Li Mengru was injured, he realized once again that his feelings for the other members of the Bell Tower team were far less than those for each other.

The pain Yuan Yang felt at this moment was a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than what he showed!

Not everyone is like him, being secretly watched by powerful figures;

Even though Yuan Yang seems to have a remarkable background... he's no exception!

If you can't win, you can call on a legion commander-level figure to come to your rescue?

Why don't they just have someone else carry out the mission themselves? Why didn't Jiang Fei's teacher come in person, but instead issued a bounty?

"Let's go." Yuan Yang composed himself and said calmly, "We'll go to the sanatorium."
