Although he had spent quite a while dealing with things yesterday, Qi Yuan still got up early.
Yesterday's events had not affected him in the slightest.
Still, he felt some regret over his ten million. In his eyes, those heads were not worth that much money.
And today marked the start of the Martial Trial.
Yet even now, none of them knew the specific details of the Martial Trial.
Qi Yuan left his room, then held his stomach.
"The food in the Dining Hall here is much better than at school."
The town looked fairly lively in the morning. Over the past few days, several hundred students from nearby middle schools had arrived here.
Yu Province had five entrances to the Planetary Space in total, and this place was also known as Planetary Space Fifth Town.
At this moment, everyone had gathered together, waiting for the Martial Trial to begin.
Quite a few people had gathered in the Dining Hall, most of whom were unfamiliar faces to Qi Yuan.
"Have you heard? Lin Qiang, the teacher from Mowu No. 1 Middle School, and Lin Tao, the guy who got the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, are dead!!"
"How could they die in a place like this? What on earth happened?!"
"I heard they were spies for the Freemasons. The Guardian Warden caught them and killed them on the spot!!"
"Freemasons? They make it sound so nice, but they're just a bunch of Rogue Ninja who kill without batting an eye!!"
"Good riddance! People like that don't deserve to live!!"
There were many Rogue Ninja organizations in the Nine Provinces, and the most influential of them was called the Freemasons.
The Rogue Ninja organizations in Yu Province were not large, but that was not the case elsewhere in the Nine Provinces.
In Lei Province, for example, Rogue Ninja had even occupied the entire northwestern border.
Qi Yuan merely smiled faintly at what he heard. The lie Guardian Warden Jia had concocted sounded just like the truth.
He was eating heartily when a fragrant breeze suddenly drifted past.
A girl carrying a lunch box sat down directly across from Qi Yuan.
"Why didn't you accept my friend request??"
Xu Ying sounded a little unhappy. Being treated as though she did not matter really was rather irritating.
Qi Yuan raised his head in surprise, then felt around for his phone.
He found a friend request on it.
"Sorry, I didn't check my phone at all yesterday."
But Xu Ying kept staring straight at him, then said quietly, "I really want to know what happened to you in the Planetary Space."
Xu Ying did not specify what she meant. After all, there were too many people around who might overhear, but Qi Yuan understood what he meant.
Yet Qi Yuan had no intention of hiding it. "It really was just the Sharingan!!"
Xu Ying sneered. The Sharingan??
You can eat three bowls of rice in one sitting. You don't look like someone who got the Sharingan at all.
Do you know what happened to the others who entered the Eighth Layer of the Planetary Space?
"I can't talk about it in front of everyone. I've sent the information to your phone. Read it carefully yourself."
"If you really did get the Sharingan, cherish these next few days!!"
Xu Ying really wanted to throw down her chopsticks and walk away.
But Qi Yuan frowned slightly. You're a pretty young girl, so why are your words so vicious?
What do you mean, cherish these next few days? Do I only have a few days left to live?
He looked at his phone and carefully scrolled through the messages Xu Ying had sent.
Then his brow twitched. "Everyone on record who entered the Eighth Layer of the Planetary Space met a bad end."
But that was within his expectations.
The Eighth Layer of the Planetary Space had Six Legacies in total, and five of those figures possessed the Sharingan.
In that case, meeting a bad end was only normal!!
"But are the Mangekyō Sharingan's side effects really that severe?? You just drop dead a few days later?"
Xu Ying sighed, then took out a letter.
"This is an invitation from our Xu Family. We hope you can become a Guardian of our family!"
This was one of the privileges of a Family Clan: they could expand their strength by recruiting people with other surnames.
But Qi Yuan asked with a hint of amusement, "I'm the useless trash everyone talks about. Is your Xu Family really that generous?"
Xu Ying chuckled inwardly. Just the fact that you could enter the Eighth Layer of the Inheritance Tower makes you worth our Xu Family's attention.
"Today, let me formally tell you about our Mowu Xu Family."
Xu Ying said rather proudly, "Our Mowu Xu Family ranks seventh among the Mowu King Family Clans, just below the sixth-ranked Yun Family."
"And the top five Family Clans all still have Level Seven Kings!!"
"If you become a Guardian of our Xu Family, we will provide you with cultivation resources, money, and authority as much as we can. Your descendants will be able to enter the Secret Realm Spaces controlled by our Xu Family to obtain legacies."
But Qi Yuan said indifferently, "I don't need any of that."
Xu Ying smiled. "Indeed, for someone with the Sharingan like you, all of that is far too distant."
"Then do you need a way to suppress the Sharingan's side effects?"
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xu Ying, who wore a faint smile.
Xu Ying chuckled. You took the bait after all!
"The Sharingan is called a curse, but aside from its side effects, it possesses powerful abilities such as observation, copying, and hypnosis."
"It really is very powerful among Kekkei Genkai. Unfortunately, our human bodies can't handle it."
"But over the past few hundred years, humanity has gradually discovered several ways to suppress the Sharingan's side effects."
Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm guessing those methods all have very demanding requirements. Otherwise, people wouldn't think the Sharingan was garbage."
Xu Ying nodded in agreement.
"There are three categories of methods for suppressing the Sharingan."
"The first is a powerful force known as Senjutsu!!"
Qi Yuan was inwardly shaken. Sure enough, people in this world know Senjutsu exists!!
"Once you use Senjutsu and enter a certain mysterious state, your ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu all become significantly stronger."
"Senjutsu originated from Jiraiya's legacy among the King's Legacies, but even if you obtain that legacy, successfully mastering Senjutsu is very difficult."
"And if you are lucky enough to master it, a mere Three-Tomoe Sharingan won't even be worth your notice."
After listening carefully, Qi Yuan continued to ask, "Aside from Jiraiya's legacy, are there no other Senjutsu legacies?"
Xu Ying hesitated for a while before saying, "Five years ago, the Lord of Lei Province, Lord Thunder King, was severely injured in an unknown S-Rank Secret Realm Space. He died of his illness a few days later."
"According to him, it was a world belonging to Serpent Demon Beasts. The Level Seven King Beast that injured him was suspected of being able to use Senjutsu!!"
"So many people speculate that the unknown S-Rank Secret Realm Space contains a Senjutsu legacy, but no one dares venture deep inside!!"
Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Serpent Demon Beasts? Senjutsu??"
Could it be Ryūchi Cave's legacy, or perhaps Kabuto Yakushi's??
Aside from the Planetary Space, the legacies in other Secret Realm Spaces followed certain patterns.
For example, if a Secret Realm Space contained Demon Beasts capable of using the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, then its Inheritance Tower would very likely contain an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai legacy!
That was why people speculated that this unknown S-Rank Secret Realm Space contained a Senjutsu legacy.
But no one could confirm it.
After all, even the Lord of Lei Province had fallen there. As the lord of a province, his strength was undoubtedly among the very best of the Kings, yet he had died outright.
The danger of this unknown Secret Realm Space was easy to imagine.
Humanity could only pray that they could hold this Secret Realm Space and keep the Demon Beasts inside from escaping!!
