Li Chen looked at Wei Laoda, who looked somewhat dejected, but did not go forward to comfort him.
Perhaps comforting him is no longer of any use.
That terrible battle had robbed him of his heart and everything he loved.
After a moment of silence...
After taking one last, wistful look at the distance, Wei Laoda turned around and prepared to leave.
He was indeed more talkative today, perhaps because he hadn't spoken to a human in a long time. Li Chen's appearance made him reveal a lot of his innermost thoughts.
As he was leaving, he paused for a second and spoke.
"Young Master Chen, the future depends on you younger generations."
"We Human Race have never feared death. I hope that one day, before I die, I will see you bravely fighting on the frontier battlefield."
When the sound faded away, Li Chen looked again but could no longer see him.
Only the sound of the whistling wind remained.
Li Chen looked up at the blood-red moon and murmured, "Perhaps."
He possesses the power to change the world, but with the same mindset as always, he desires a peaceful life. But will the world allow that peace?
The vortex had already begun to surge, and without Li Chen's knowledge, he had already stepped into this incredibly turbulent undercurrent.
The next morning
The trainees had already arrived at yesterday's location, and today's situation was different from yesterday's.
After a few times, they gradually adapted.
Yu Qingnian stood in the same spot, silent, but a slight smile remained on his lips.
It's unclear what he was laughing at; perhaps he was imagining the scene of these students being brutally tortured by those Eerie Monsters.
"Chen-ge, Chen-ge, look at my hammer!!"
Hehehe...
Su Zhe grinned mischievously, brandishing his signature weapon in front of Li Chen.
It wasn't the hammer itself that mattered; it was all because Su Zhe had somehow upgraded his hammer again yesterday, adding a gravity system.
With a single blow, amplified by gravity, the power would likely be enough to pulverize an Eerie Monsters at the Dripping Water Realm.
"Where did you upgrade this hammer?" Li Chen, somewhat puzzled. The addition of a gravity system to a weapon was no simple matter.
While this is indeed a technologically advanced city, this method of upgrading weapons is something you won't find anywhere else inland.
Su Zhe pointed to Luo Lin in the distance and said, "After yesterday's training, Lin-jie told me that this Ruined City has a place where you can upgrade your weapons."
"I went to look for it, and there really was one, but it was quite expensive. I even owed the shopkeeper 1,000 Merit."
Jianping, standing to the side, wasn't particularly interested. After all, his weapon was Demon Blade. He casually asked, "Which shady shop did you go to? Didn't you earn a lot of Merit yesterday?"
"How come you're in debt today?"
Su Zhe arrogantly declared, "What do you mean by debt!"
"My heart-shaped hammer is getting upgraded! I'm ready to single-handedly charge into that horde of Eerie Monsters today, making seven in and seven out, and take the enemy general's head!!"
Li Chen smiled and looked at Luo Lin in the distance.
Luo Lin didn't go with them but instead went with Meng Xi to Ji Shao's team, since their team was all girls.
The importance of the team itself becomes less important during the training process; everyone is fighting for themselves.
Moreover, Li Chen didn't take the team he had previously formed seriously; it was ultimately just a temporary team, and it would have to be disbanded eventually.
It didn't have much of an impact on them.
Just as everyone was whispering and talking amongst themselves.
Yu Qingnian finally spoke.
"Since we're here, let's go in."
"Today you will be heading to No. 2 Slaughter Ground."
"Same as always, safety first."
Before he could finish speaking, he had vanished, leaving no one in the dust.
However, this was nothing new; they knew their Sequence Master was quite strong, otherwise why would they have led them to this place for training?
The door, emitting a faint blue light, opened as well.
The group had been waiting for a long time, and yesterday's battle had given them a sense of exhilaration.
The thrill of killing enemies, of slaying those Eerie Monsters.
They weren't afraid; in fact, they were somewhat excited because they knew they couldn't possibly die here.
Many of the students who went inside were still excitedly discussing, "Today I'm going to test the power of that move from yesterday!!"
"And our combination attack!!"
And so, the group of students walked in amidst much excitement.
However, when they were halfway there, a strong smell of blood wafted over.
A hint of seriousness flashed in Jianping's eyes as he said, "No, the stench of blood is far stronger than yesterday."
"This No. 2 Slaughter Ground, I'm afraid..."
It wasn't just Jianping; many people felt it too.
And so, with a hint of doubt in their eyes, the group reached the end.
I saw what the No. 2 Slaughter Ground looked like.
Several robots were frantically shooting at the surging Eerie Monsters.
Boom!
Explosions continued to occur.
The entrance to the No. 2 Slaughter Ground was already piled high with Eerie Monsters corpses, enough to form a small mountain.
How many Eerie Monsters had died? The black blood was slowly flowing to their feet.
Then the robot's voice came.
[Trainees have entered the Slaughter Arena. Cease fire and load charged rounds.]
[Strangulation operation to commence in 1 hour.]
The robots all took a step back and stopped moving.
As they ceased firing, the Eerie Monsters at the doorway slowly emerged, figures with eyes growing from their flesh, staring intently at the crowd and letting out deafening roars.
Eerie Monsters has attacked.
This time, they weren't given time to rest like yesterday; the Eerie Monsters' strength was almost all at the Looking River Realm.
Even in Li Chen's energy perception, several powerful energy fluctuations slowly approached from behind the Eerie Monsters little mountain that blocked his view.
Li Chen murmured, "Have all the Eerie Monsters from the Withered Sea Realm appeared?"
"And several of them appeared at once; this second Slaughter Arena is truly terrifying."
Su Xian and Ji Shao, leading their team, actually blocked the entrance from a distance.
AOE's magic and abilities were like the end of the world, instantly killing those weak Eerie Monsters.
Many students have even started researching how to steal monsters.
But then several roars rang out.
The roar was mixed with mental attacks, and there were even eerie murmurs.
Five terrifying, ugly figures ripped open the clumps of Eerie Monsters, dead corpses.
There was even a monster with a giant eyeball that floated in the air like an octopus, grabbing the Eerie Monsters of other Eerie Monsters and stuffing them into the cracks under its base to chew on.
"Retreat!!"
The magic circle beneath Su Xian's feet lit up instantly, leading all the students back to the robot's side.
Withered Sea Realm Eerie Monsters have attacked, and five of them came at once.
Last time, just one was enough to give Li Chen and his group a headache, but now five have appeared at once.
A glint of light flashed in Li Chen's eyes as he looked at the black bandages on the Eerie Monsters bodies, seemingly having some ideas.
