Ancient Ruins

Xu Qing hasn't used that Consciousness Sensor yet; it's still in the metal box in the room.

After returning home, Xu Qing forgot about the War God Palace. Only after Luo Feng reminded him did he remember.

"Remember to show your face at the War God Palace. Teacher Jiang Fang asked me about you last time," Luo Feng told him.

He hadn't expected that Xu Qing would have forgotten about this.

"Haha, I understand. I'll go in and take a look when I get back," Xu Qing laughed, a little embarrassed.

Tuoba Yan and Li Rong exchanged a glance. This Number One on the Black Dragon Ranking... seemed quite different from what they had imagined.

"If Teacher Jiang Fang wants to contact me, she can just send me a message. I haven't received any messages from her," Xu Qing said.

Luo Feng shook his head helplessly, "We can meet and chat in the War God Palace, anytime, anywhere."

"Oh, I see. I understand now. I'll definitely go next time and I promise I won't forget again," Xu Qing nodded.

Soon, all members arrived.

"Everyone, please follow me," a man in a red robe led Xu Qing and the others to Hong.

Hong looked at them, and when his gaze fell on Xu Qing, he nodded slightly and said, "Since you're all standing in front of me, I won't waste any more words. Good luck, Yao Rao, take them and set off!"

A mysterious woman dressed in a black robe and wearing Golden Mask walked in. She was tall and slender, and was one of Hong's three personal guards.

"Everyone, I will be leading the team to the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins. Please follow me," Yao Rao said, her voice pleasant to the ear.

Following her, Xu Qing and Luo Feng all boarded a Smart Fighter Jet.

On the way to the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins, Yao Rao introduced the situation of the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins to Xu Qing and the others, and also made some arrangements to minimize their troubles after entering the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins.

According to Yao Rao's introduction, there are many Ancient Civilization Ruins around the world. Ranked in the order of discovery, Number One was the earliest to be discovered, and number nine was the ninth.

The Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins was used for elimination and selection.

Once inside, Warrior will enter Channel A for trials, while Spirit Controller will enter Channel B for trials.

Everyone's experience is different, and the difficulty varies from person to person. Successfully passing the trial will reward you with a set of Black God Set; failure will result in death or serious injury.

"One more thing, there has never been a case of Spirit Controller dying in the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins," Yao Rao said, glancing at Xu Qing and Luo Feng.

He was quite surprised to hear the rest; such a thing was possible?

Could it be that the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins are screening Spirit Controller Spirit Controller? Otherwise, why would they be so kind to them?

Thinking of this, the others couldn't help but look at Xu Qing and Luo Feng with envy.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not going down the path of Spirit Controller; of course I'm going down the path of Warrior," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

Upon hearing this, Yao Rao and the others looked at him with surprise.

Xu Qing is clearly Spirit Controller, but he chooses to follow the path of Warrior. In this respect, he can be considered an oddball.

Moreover, Yao Rao Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins said that if Spirit Controller goes through the Spirit Controller passage, they will definitely come out alive.

If they were Spirit Controller, they would definitely choose the Spirit Controller's Channel B without hesitation.

Xu Qing still insisted on taking the Warrior's Channel A, which was truly incomprehensible. Wasn't he afraid of dying?

"Xiao Qing, are you really not going to use the path of Spirit Controller?" Luo Feng was also a little worried.

"Brother-in-law, why are you like this too? Have some faith in me, okay? I'll just take the Warrior path, I'll definitely get through smoothly," Xu Qing muttered.

"Alright, you can decide for yourself," Luo Feng said without further ado.

Seeing Xu Qing insist on taking the Warrior path, the others couldn't help but show their admiration.

"As expected of the strongest student in the history of the Elite Training Camp, Xu Qing, I admire you. If you successfully pass the trial of the Warrior's passage this time, may I invite you to dinner?" Yao Rao looked at Xu Qing with great interest.

She was personally trained by the Master of the Dojo, Hong, and has a great fondness for strong individuals.

Hong was like a father to her; it was Hong who told her that Xu Qing was the one who killed the East Sea Azure Dragon and the Sea Serpent King.

This piqued Yao Rao's interest in Xu Qing, especially since he was young and the strongest student in the history of the Elite Training Camp, Number One on the Black Dragon Ranking.

It's fair to say that Xu Qing had many qualities that captivated her.

Yao Rao's words instantly silenced everyone in the cabin, their expressions filled with shock.

Even Luo Feng was no exception this time. "My goodness, even Hong's personal guards are interested in Xiao Qing!"

"This is too strong! Is this the true value of being Number One on the Black Dragon Ranking? Even beings Beyond War God favor him," the others exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know you, why should I eat with you?" Xu Qing glared at her, not being polite at all.

No one dared to breathe loudly. This was a being Beyond War God. Even if you were Number One on the Black Dragon Ranking, this wasn't quite right. At least you should show some respect.

Otherwise, what if they get angry?

"Now that we know each other, my name is Yao Rao, which is also my real name," Yao Rao said, not angry at all.

"So what? Do I know you that well?" Xu Qing glanced at her sideways.

"We're not familiar with each other yet, so I'd like to invite you to dinner so we can get to know each other better. So, could you give me that chance?" she said with Yao Rao smile, her tone light and airy.

"You wish! Why should I give you a chance? Besides, I'm a married man. Go find someone else," Xu Qing waved his hand.

"Pfft..." Upon hearing the words "married man," Luo Feng and the others burst into laughter.

These days, very few men would refer to themselves as "married men".

"Hey, what are you laughing at? I'm married. What's wrong with calling me a married man?" Xu Qing glared at them, looking very displeased.

"No... no problem," everyone said, looking away to avoid laughing out loud.

They all noticed that Xu Qing, who Number One on the Black Dragon Ranking, could be quite funny at times.

"There's no problem to begin with. Don't some of you also have married men and women, like me, or like my brother-in-law, who aren't married yet and don't count as married men and women?" Xu Qing continued.

Luo Feng immediately felt embarrassed; why did his brother-in-law have to tell everyone everything?

"Ahem, Xiao Qing, since Miss Yao Rao wants to invite you to dinner, you should just accept. It's nothing, just a meal," Luo Feng quickly interjected to prevent Xu Qing from saying anything more frightening.

"No way, brother-in-law, you go have dinner with her, why should I go?" Xu Qing retorted.

Luo Feng's face twitched. "Miss Yao Rao invited you, it has nothing to do with me."

"Go away, brother-in-law, stop talking. All you do is watch the show," Xu Qing rolled her eyes.

He could easily tell that Luo Feng was trying to change the subject, extricate himself from the situation, and even push him away – it was utterly despicable.

"Give up, I'm not going to eat with you. Go find my brother-in-law, he's married, you have a chance," Xu Qing said to Yao Rao, arms crossed, glancing sideways at Luo Feng Yao Rao.

Luo Feng was jolted awake. This kid, was he trying to sell out his brother-in-law?

"Him? The Master of the Dojo thinks highly of him too, but I'm interested in you right now," Yao Rao glanced at Luo Feng and shook her head.

Hearing Yao Rao say that, Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xu Qing with a hostile expression, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have Xu Xin come and talk to you."

"Tch, you always try to intimidate me by using Sister Xin. Brother-in-law, you're such a henpecked husband," Xu Qing pouted, but still didn't dare to say anything more.

Luo Feng didn't care at all that Xu Qing said he was henpecked. He was the one who pursued Xu Xin, so why would he be afraid of being talked about?

"What will it take for you to give me a chance to have dinner together?" Yao Rao placed one hand on her hip, exuding an aura of power.

"What are you doing? I already said no. Are you trying to sabotage things? You definitely can't do that. Linlin and I have a very good relationship," Xu Qing said, glancing at her sideways.

This woman is completely inexplicable and impossible to communicate with.

"You don't need to be so wary. I don't have any bad intentions. I just simply like strong people like you," she said Yao Rao, alluring fingers twitching slightly.

"I'm not strong, I'm very weak. Look at my appearance, I don't look strong at all," Xu Qing blinked.

To escape the Yao Rao advances, he started acting cute.

Luo Feng and the others looked at each other strangely. Good heavens, are they really pushing themselves this hard?

"Is that so?" Yao Rao looked at him with a half-smile, then leaned down slightly, very close, and whispered something in his ear.

"Who told you that? I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. That wasn't me, it definitely wasn't me," Xu Qing shook her head and denied it.

Yao Rao smiled slightly, "Whether it's true or not, you and I both know the answer."

"Anyway, I'm not going to eat with you or anything," Xu Qing said, closing her eyes and ignoring her.

Seeing this, Yao Rao didn't say anything more. Xu Qing's rejection was so obvious; he clearly didn't want to have anything to do with her.

"It's such a pity. It's not easy to find a man who interests me," Yao Rao with a hint of regret, but she wasn't too disappointed, since she hadn't already fallen for Xu Qing.

I just wanted to get to know Xu Qing, but he wouldn't give me the chance, so I had to give up.

For the next few minutes, the cabin was quiet, and hardly anyone spoke.

Regarding what had just happened, Tuoba Yan and the others admired Xu Qing quite a bit; he remained completely unmoved in the face of the favor of an existence Beyond War God.

That's really manly.

If it were anyone else, they might already be kneeling at her feet, captivated by her Yao Rao skirt.

"This Yao Rao doesn't actually like Xiao Qing; she's just purely admiring of a strong person. Xiao Qing must have realized that, which is why she's so cold," Luo Feng thought to himself.

It could be said that Yao Rao was primarily interested in was not Xu Qing as a person, but rather his strength and power.

Let alone Xu Qing, even Luo Feng would keep his distance from someone like that, no matter how beautiful she is.

In the Amazon rainforest of South America, a Smart Fighter Jet appears in the night sky and slowly descends.

"We've arrived," Yao Rao, leading Xu Qing and the others out.

In an open space, the ground trembled slightly, and a passage appeared on the ground to welcome their arrival.

An underground elevator brought an Red-Robed Elder to the ground floor. He first bowed to the Yao Rao woman, saying, "Yao Rao Councilor."

Yao Rao nodded, then looked at Xu Qing and the others, "I hope you all come back alive."

After saying that, she returned to the Smart Fighter Jet and took off.

"This Yao Rao councilor was quite decisive; she didn't keep bothering you," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Otherwise, brother-in-law, do you want her to keep bothering me?" Xu Qing rolled her eyes.

Luo Feng shook his head. "I didn't say that. It's normal that you don't like someone like her. I also don't want to have too much contact with people like her. We're just not on the same wavelength."

"Oh my, brother-in-law, you seem to know a lot, huh? So you were obviously trying to trick me before, weren't you?" Xu Qing glanced at him sideways.

"Ahem, no, nothing like that. Alright, let's go in," Luo Feng interrupted the conversation.

Afterwards, Xu Qing and the others followed the Red-Robed Elder into the underground base.

The underground base, spanning several hundred square meters, had a large hall where hundreds of humans from all over the world gathered, sitting in front of computers.

"Welcome, my esteemed War God! I wish you all a safe journey out alive!"

The staff members welcomed Xu Qing and his team.

"Alright, time is running out, let's open the entrance now," the Red-Robed Elder ordered.

The metal wall in front cracked open, revealing a circular passage.

"What is that?" Xu Qing and the others looked into the depths of the passage. At first, it was normal for a short distance, but later it turned into a strange dark brown color, which was very eerie.

At the end of the passage, there were many glowing mirrors and similar objects.

"Those glowing mirrors are the entrance to the Number Nine Ancient Civilization Ruins. War God, I wish you all the best in your endeavors," the Red-Robed Elder gestured for Xu Qing and the others to set off.

"Let's go," Xu Qing and Luo Feng exchanged a glance and stepped into the passage.

Seeing this, the others followed.

They passed through the passage and arrived in front of the glowing mirror, then stepped inside one by one.

The next second, Xu Qing found himself in a dark hall, with a hazy light shining down from above.

"What about the passage? It's not like they'll check whether the person coming is Warrior or Spirit Controller, is it? That won't do, otherwise I might be sent to the Spirit Controller passage," Xu Qing thought to himself.

Yao Rao didn't even remind them that which passage to take wasn't their decision.

"I don't know if hiding the fluctuations of Spiritual Force will be useful. Even if it's hidden, it might still be detected. I think I might have to activate the genetic Origin Energy within my body to disrupt the other party's perception," Xu Qing suddenly came up with an idea.

In an instant, he entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, began to absorb cosmic energy, enhance his genetic Origin Energy, and make his genetic Origin Energy boil.

The very next second after he did so, a colorful light enveloped him.

Two seconds later, a series of complex sounds echoed in the hall.

On Xu Qing's Communication Watch, a translated message appeared. "Please enter B... Re-draft, please enter Type A Passage."
