I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Shi Wannian's eyes gradually widened.

His original plan was to use his talents freely in this training ground and fill in any gaps in his abilities.

This was already helpful to him.

After all, their Stone Village camp wasn't large, and there wasn't a suitable space within the camp for a mid-stage Transcendent expert like him to freely demonstrate his abilities. Neither did the previous safe zone.

Leaving the camp and entering the Nightmare Wilderness for training is even more inadvisable.

After fully utilizing his talents and testing his limits, he would then seek out old friends like Chen Shouyi for some friendly sparring.

If you frequently unleash your abilities and spar with other strong opponents of the same level, you will definitely improve over time.

Therefore, Shi Wannian was not disappointed that the martial arts arena only accepted "200 Dream Dust".

He never had high expectations to begin with.

but now,

"This training ground actually has some hidden secrets? Let me see. Ordinary weapons are free, first-tier cursed artifacts cost 200 Dream Dust, and second-tier cursed artifacts cost one Dream Crystal." Just one Dream Crystal, that's very cheap.

Shi Wannian immediately shouted, "Manifest a second-tier magical artifact!"

The words were spoken.

Rumble

In the distance, weapon racks rose from the ground one after another. They were filled with all sorts of magical artifacts, both common and rare. Shi Wannian picked up one of the battle swords and examined it carefully.

The blade of the battle sword gleamed with a cold light. When he infused it with magical power, the chill emanating from the blade intensified, and wisps of sharp energy emanated from it. "Infusing magical power makes the weapon easier to cut through armor; this is indeed one of the characteristics of a magical weapon."

"Not only that..."

The moment he infused the cursed power, he felt an incredible smoothness, as if the power itself were flowing effortlessly within his body. "This means the power's conductivity exceeds 100%, perhaps even reaching 105% or 110%!"

In fact, conductivity exceeding 100% is a standard for a qualified magical artifact.

Unfortunately, the magical artifacts that Shi Wannian had used all had a magical power conductivity of only 95% to 98%. This indicated that there was a slight problem during the magical power forging process, resulting in slight damage to the core magical artifact.

But this is not the blacksmith's dish from their Stone Village camp.

It's the same at all camps.

There are no blacksmiths here. The creation of magical artifacts is all done by these extraordinary individuals themselves, through trial and error.

But they don't have much experience either.

There was no other way; second-tier cursed artifacts were extremely rare, and they simply didn't have the opportunity to practice on them.

Shi Wannian increased the output of his incantation power, and instantly, a layer of black blade light appeared on the blade of the battle sword and continued to extend.

The transmission is smooth, and the blade's edge is solid.

He extended his finger again, gathering magical power at the tip, and flicked it hard against the side of the blade.

"when"

A wave of air spread out, and the sound echoed within the training ground.

There wasn't a single crack on the blade.

"As expected, this battle sword is top-notch even among second-tier cursed weapons."

Thinking it over, Shi Wannian put down his sword again. He walked along the weapon rack, touching everything, until he saw a certain weapon and his eyes suddenly lit up. It was a pair of heavy hammers.

Shi Wannian was skilled in using hammer-type weapons.

He weighed it in his hand; the heavy hammer was indeed easy to handle, with sufficient weight and excellent conductivity.

Shi Wannian wielded the heavy hammer with great force and exhilaration.

However, he also noticed a problem.

"This heavy hammer is not quite a good match for me. It is biased towards the earth element and has the ability of 'heavy'. It is indeed a divine weapon, but it just doesn't suit me."

Although Shi Wannian's surname is Shi, it is the Shi from Shi Village. His awakened innate talent is lightning.

He felt a little sorry.

But soon they noticed a line of text on the wall of the training ground behind the weapon rack: "Custom-made magical artifacts are available according to individual needs. Simply describe the weapon type and its characteristics."

The text wasn't small, but he had been so engrossed in experiencing various magical artifacts that he had overlooked it.

right now,

"They can even customize magical artifacts? Is this a service we can expect? It only costs one Dream Crystal!"

In another training ground space.

Darkblade, the leader of the Dark Hunter Mercenary Group, and several other mercenary members also arrived at the scene immediately.

They hadn't been in the safe zone long, but they happened to stumble upon the great disaster in Lin Dong City, taking on a lot of missions, and they were all grinning from ear to ear. The missions weren't difficult, and the pay was high.

The problem is there are just too many tasks here; we can't possibly accept them all.

This place is a mercenary's paradise!

"It truly is paradise!"

"In the past, even for top-tier mercenaries like us, it was still difficult to exchange our earnings for treasures. Now it's much better. The trade within the safe zone is fair and just, and there's no cheating on anyone, young or old. Not only in trade, but the shopkeeper has also provided us with many precious training grounds."

Dark Blade was currently toying with a second-tier cursed dagger.

His eyes shone brightly, as if he were looking at a divine artifact.

"Perfect conductivity, powerful amplification of shadow energy! If I possessed such a cursed artifact in reality, even in a bizarre battle against someone one level above or in the late stages of the Transcendent realm, this captain wouldn't be afraid in the slightest!"

"What a pity, the magical artifacts in this training ground are probably not real."

If they truly exist, these weapon racks alone could hold dozens of magical artifacts.

No matter how wealthy the safe zone is, it's impossible to display cursed artifacts as ordinary weapons.

Most importantly, the variety of magical artifacts here is too complete, and they can even be customized, so it's not scientifically accurate.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"If I could buy a spell weapon that suits my character within the safe zone, that would be fantastic."

There are quite a few magical artifacts for sale within the safe zone.

However, Dark Blade also knew very well that there were countless types of cursed artifacts, and to happen to find one that he liked was even more difficult than breaking through to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. Since things had come to this, he might as well try the third event in the training ground.

"This seems to be the core project of the training ground, and the consumption is estimated to be enormous. The store manager has set a relatively high threshold for it." The total contribution must exceed 500 points.

Dark Blade's total contribution value barely exceeds this number.

This was after he participated in three major missions.

"Manifest Martial Artist (for practice and sparring): 100 contribution points and 2 Dream Crystals per hour"

"Martial Arts Possession: 300 Contribution Points and 5 Dream Crystals per possession. (This item requires a premium membership to use)"

Two crystals and five crystals are both very cheap.

I wouldn't care even if the Dark Blade cost ten times more.

but,

"The contribution requirements are a bit high! That's all you get in an hour... Well, not exactly high, it's just that we don't have enough contribution points." "And this possession project even requires a premium membership? What's so mysterious about it?"

Darkblade immediately used the first paid item.

Before long, a pale golden figure in his likeness materialized in the distance of the training ground.

The hidden blade allowed this martial arts performer to practice his talent.

Initially, the way the martial arts performer displayed his talent was very similar to his own personality.

"This training ground is amazing. The martial arts students' talent and strength are almost on par with mine."

Dark Blade continued to stare.

The martial arts performance continued. One after another, the martial arts performer demonstrated various innate techniques and derived abilities.

There are several derivative uses that even Dark Blade himself hadn't thought of.

"I see, so this innate talent can be controlled like this. How come I didn't think of that?"

"It was totally worth it!"

Dark Blade delivered a powerful punch.

He understood these derivative applications at a glance, after all, it was his innate ability. However, if it weren't for martial arts demonstrations, he probably wouldn't have been able to come up with this idea on his own.

This exercise provided him with crucial guidance.

100 contributions, well spent.

But the martial arts performers were still rehearsing.

Dark Blade stared intently, his eyes unblinking.

Anren stared even more intently.

Dark Blade's expression gradually turned serious.

Dark Blade's brows began to furrow.

"This martial arts performer... I can't understand his performance skills!"

Good news, this may be my future development direction. Once I understand it, I can expect to reach the extraordinary stage at any time.

But the bad news is that Dark Blade can't see through it at all.

What he could see was, after all, only the outward display of a martial arts performer's talent.

But what about the inside?

How exactly does magical power work, and in which direction should one's talent be developed?

He can't see it! He really can't see it!

Anren then ordered the martial arts performers to repeat the scene they had just witnessed.

He understood a little bit of it.

That's roughly an improvement from 0.1% to 0.2%.

Remarkable progress!

It's just a long way off.

He looked at the distant prompt, "If... if I could try a possession experience, could I grasp the key?" Dark Blade's Diary:

Today, the martial arts training ground opened, and the martial arts performers' demonstrations amazed me. This is a great joy!

Today, I glimpsed a path to the future. If I can experience it firsthand, a breakthrough is within reach, which is a great joy!

However, despite it being a double celebration, I felt sad and frantic!

That's because I'm not a premium member yet.

That hurts so much!

I've made up my mind, I'll do fifty tasks first!

Inside a certain martial arts training ground.

A faint golden light enveloped Director Yan. He had lost control of his body, but his perception of the flow of cursed power and the transformation of his innate strength was still incredibly clear.

The light in the depths of his eyes grew ever brighter.

After the possession and transformation were completed, the pale golden light on his body dissipated.

Yan Xiangtian stood still, closed his eyes, and meditated.

After a while,

He opened his eyes and burst into laughter: "I've succeeded! I've succeeded! Hahahaha!"

After saying that, Yan Xiangtian seized the bottleneck blocking his way and refined it in one go!

Two and a half years after entering the extraordinary realm, he finally reached the late stage of the extraordinary realm today, becoming a great master among extraordinary beings.

The future looks promising!

Xuanjian, Xixue, Boss Ye, Li Wei...

These renowned experts and senior members of the safe zone were among the first to experience this possession martial arts training program.

Each of them reaped considerable rewards.

The biggest beneficiaries were undoubtedly veteran powerhouses like Yan Xiangtian, Shi Wannian, and Chen Shouyi, who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for a long time.

They were already quite talented and had accumulated enough experience. With the guidance of the martial arts instructors, their future seemed bright and promising.

Just as many members predicted, even though the training ground has hundreds of spaces and can be used in teams, it was completely full within half an hour of opening.

after that,

It remained fully booked, with very few messengers leaving.

"Wait a minute, isn't the training ground supposed to be more ordinary? This 200 Dream Dust fee is far less than the Spell Library next door... A meal at the Purgatory Cafeteria would probably cost much more than that, but..."

But why don't the people who went in come out?

It's one thing for ordinary dreamers to linger, but it seems quite a few extraordinary experts went in just now.

Even without experiencing it firsthand, everything at the moment indicates that the training ground is no ordinary place!

"Is this yet another treasure trove for cultivation? Even those who have transcended the ordinary are delighted?"

After some time, news finally broke out about the martial arts training ground.

But it wasn't just the members queuing outside; even many who had already entered and experienced the martial arts arena were quite curious… "What exactly is martial arts training?"

"How mysterious is possession?"

"Damn it, why can't we afford even one of our projects?!"

At this moment, somewhere in the Nightmare Wilderness.

Le Yili wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the strange building in the distance.

"That must be the legendary entrance to the safe zone."

There was a glint in his eyes.

He had studied them carefully and found that cities like Lin Dong City and Bai Jiang City on Earth were indeed quite similar to those of their ancient civilization. While Earth cities might be slightly stronger than their ancient cities, they were still on the same level.

But their ancient civilization could only struggle to survive in the face of disaster.

The Blue Star civilization easily defeated the disaster.

The difference lies in this "legendary safe zone".

There are too many legends about the safe zone.

There are many versions, each more outrageous than the last, but Le Yili knows that several of the versions of the legend are true.

"Let me see what the safe zone really looks like!"

Le Yili pushed open the door and entered.

boom!

The noise was overwhelming, as if I had stepped into another world.

The dreamers not far away were chatting and laughing.

People are discussing what new spells have been added to the library;

Some people say that the martial arts actor was simply beyond human capability;

Some say the goal for this week is to conquer ten nightmares;

"What the hell is all this?!"

Le Yili was already very familiar with the Daxia language, but he couldn't understand the language spoken around him.

What is the connection between libraries and magic?

A week to conquer ten nightmares? What a load of rubbish!

But gradually, Le Yili also figured out the rules of the safe zone and all the places worth experiencing.

For example, the martial arts arena that just opened today.

He went.

then,

I can't handle the possession experience, and I still can't handle the martial arts performance.

Le Yili went to the library again, but he couldn't afford to exchange for rare-level spells, and he still couldn't afford to exchange for common-level spells.

Yue Yili: …….

Is this correct? Is this correct?

In the end, he, a dignified extraordinary being, could only enjoy the benefits of being a newbie and briefly experience the training ground.

"...Truly miraculous!"

"No wonder the safe zone is said to be a training ground for newcomers. Many new Dreamers are transformed from here and embark on the path to becoming strong."

"However, the allure of the safe zone seems to extend beyond ordinary dream sufferers?!"

He wanted to go to the training ground a few more times.

He had been hearing people say all day that the martial arts arena was so mysterious that even extraordinary beings lingered there.

What about the library?

"I just scanned through it and found a full 20 rare-level spellbooks. And that's just downstairs; I heard there are even more, and even more exquisite and rare spellbooks, upstairs."

Comprehending rare spells once or twice won't have an immediate effect on extraordinary experts.

Unless one has truly accumulated profound knowledge and then breaks through to a higher realm through enlightenment.

But what if you try to understand it ten or eight times?

The library was filled with an unusually large number of spell scrolls!

If I can master a rare spell to an unparalleled degree, I can become invincible among those of the same level!

Once, the "travelers," advanced civilizations who had visited their ancient land, were all considered peerless geniuses by any random member of their team.

This is the crushing power of civilization.

Blue Star is just like them, an ordinary civilization, a struggling civilization.

But Earth seems to have the potential to escape this quagmire.

Even if it's just a tiny bit.

Le Yili felt a pang of envy and jealousy. Why didn't they have that in their ancient land?

"However, the strength of a civilization depends on many factors: strong individuals, knowledge, facilities, equipment, weapons, and so on. The safe zone only possesses a few cultivation-related wonders. Wonders represent great opportunities, but they are still insignificant in the grand scheme of a civilization as a whole."

Thinking about it.

Le Yili suddenly heard someone shout.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The Safe Zone's self-developed, standard-issue magical artifact, the 'Thousand Transformations Umbrella,' will be available at 3 PM this afternoon!"

Self-developed! Standardized! Magical artifact!

The other members were in an uproar.

Some say this will be another masterpiece of the safe zone.

"But it's just a cursed artifact."

Le Yili shook his head. He knew very well that truly powerful civilizations and forces had dozens of standardized magical artifacts.

Only in this way can we satisfy all types of extraordinary individuals.
