110: Chapter 110 First Time Leaving the Shanghai Base City

"It is time to go back to Jiangbei Base City." Han Ming glanced at the Spirit Marrow Pool by the Spirit Spring and muttered to himself.

This was a treasure for enhancing talent and Cultivate; it was worth its weight in gold, and even a Martial Saint would be envious upon seeing it.

If his grandfather and father used the Spirit Marrow Pool, their talent would surely increase significantly, and their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, it was a good opportunity to test his true combat power outside.

Having made up his mind, Han Ming did not delay. He suppressed his Realm to Martial Master, disguised his appearance, and left Modu Martial Arts University.

The people in the school monitoring Han Ming were only at the Martial General or Martial Marquis level; they could not discover him at all.

Having been at Modu Martial Arts University for so long, this was his first time leaving the school. After exiting, he used his Divine Sense to observe and saw no one following him. He then put his identity badge into his storage space, revealed his Martial King strength, and shot into the sky.

"Is this what it feels like to fly?"

Han Ming hovered above Modu Base City, feeling the breeze brush against his cheeks as he looked down at the boundless, massive city beneath his feet.

The hundreds-of-meters-high city walls wound endlessly, firmly protecting the entire city.

Spirit patterns flickered on the walls, and every thousand meters, there was a defensive tower emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

This was Modu, one of the largest base cities in the Great Xia Alliance.

Han Ming took a deep breath, composed his mind, and flew toward the nearest city gate.

There were many city guards patrolling near the gate, and everyone entering or leaving had to undergo checks to verify their identities.

Han Ming landed near the city gate. The people around him only glanced at him before looking away; flying in Modu was a common occurrence, nothing to be surprised about.

Han Ming ignored the gazes of others and joined the queue of people leaving the city.

Many people left the city every day—some to gain experience, some to hunt exotic beasts and search for Spirit Medicine, and others to conduct business.

"Please present your identity token."

It was soon Han Ming's turn. The city guard in charge of the inspection looked at Han Ming with some surprise; such a young Martial King was rare even in Modu.

"Alright, here you go."

Han Ming took out the token given by the Han Family and handed it to the guard.

He did not use his school identity badge, as that would easily expose his whereabouts, and he did not want to be hunted by the Li Family and the Blood Demon Alliance just after leaving the city.

"So it is a Genius from the Han Family, please go ahead! Next time, you can just fly out from above while holding the token; the Han Family token does not require queuing to enter or exit through the gate."

The guard took the token, glanced at it, and his attitude immediately became respectful. He handed the token back to Han Ming with both hands.

"Alright, thank you!"

Han Ming took the token, nodded at him, and walked out of the city.

He really did not know that the Han Family token had such power. Previously, when Teacher Xue Muhan brought them to Modu Martial Arts University, it seemed they also did not need to queue, as the spaceship flew straight in.

Thinking about it now, that must have had something to do with the Modu Martial Arts University identity badge.

"Whoa, so it's someone from the Han Family. No wonder he has already Cultivate to the Martial King level at such a young age."

"Since when did the Han Family have such a young Martial King? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"Tsk, what's so strange about that? Isn't it normal for a Family as large as the Han Family to hide a few geniuses?"

The people near the gate who had just seen Han Ming descend from the sky began to discuss.

Han Ming ignored their discussion. After leaving Modu Base City, he shot into the sky and flew in the direction of Jiangbei Base City.

The distance from Modu Base City to Jiangbei Base City was over 12,000 kilometers, with many small and medium-sized base cities in between.

At an average speed of over 100 kilometers per hour for a Martial King, it would take at least four or five days to fly to Jiangbei Base City.

If he unleashed his full Martial Emperor strength combined with his Major Achievement Cloud Treading Step, he could return to Jiangbei in less than a day.

Moreover, he still had a spaceship in his Cave Heaven World that he had received from Teacher Xue Muhan.

It was the small spaceship she had used to bring Han Ming and the others to report to Modu Martial Arts University.

Its speed was not much slower than his full-speed flight.

However, he was not in a hurry; it was a good opportunity to go out and gain experience.

He did not use the spaceship but instead suppressed his speed to the level of an ordinary Martial King, traveling through the clouds at a steady pace.

It was a rare trip out, so it was a good chance to see what the world was really like.

After flying for a hundred miles, signs of human activity gradually became scarce.

The wilderness beneath his feet began to reveal its ferocity; abandoned towns and broken walls had long been covered by vines and shrubs.

Rusted vehicle wrecks were scattered on the roads, and occasionally, one could see a few dry bones that had been there for who knows how long.

In this world, humans lived in a small corner, and exotic beasts were the true masters of this land.

After flying another two hundred miles, a heaven-shaking beast roar suddenly came from the mountain forest below.

"Roar! Damned human, how dare you fly over my territory? I will tear you apart alive."

Han Ming looked down and saw a mountain-sized black giant tiger spring out from the mountain forest. Its four claws stepped on black demonic wind as it soared into the air and lunged at him.

An 8th-rank Peak King Beast, equivalent to a 9th-star Martial King Peak powerhouse among humans.

The giant tiger was pitch black, its fur covered in dark golden patterns. A pair of scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Han Ming, saliva dripping from its mouth, filled with greed and brutality.

The flesh and blood of a Martial King-level human contained energy far exceeding that of low-rank exotic beasts. Devouring a Martial King would be enough for its strength to rise to the next level.

"Human, stay here!" The giant tiger roared, opening its bloody maw. Black demonic wind condensed in its mouth, turning into a black beam of light that blasted toward Han Ming.

Han Ming did not dodge; he raised his hand and threw a punch.

The fist aura collided with the beam of light with a loud bang. The beam shattered, and the remaining force of the fist aura slammed into the giant tiger's skull.

The giant tiger's massive body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground and collapsing a small hill.

It struggled to climb up, a deep fist mark appearing on its skull. Blood flowed down the dark golden patterns, and its eyes were filled with fear as it looked at Han Ming.

This human was definitely not a Martial King.

The giant tiger turned and ran, its four claws stepping on demonic wind, its speed reaching the limit.

Han Ming did not chase it; he just raised a finger, and a Sword Qi broke through the air.

The Sword Qi was silent, yet carried an extremely sharp Sword Intent, instantly piercing the giant tiger's skull.

The giant tiger's massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Han Ming landed on the ground and collected the giant tiger's corpse. An 8th-rank Peak King Beast was a treasure from head to toe; it could not be wasted.

At Modu Martial Arts University, it could be exchanged for at least four or five million points.

Just like that, Han Ming continued toward Jiangbei Base City while gaining experience along the way.

Two more days passed. He traveled by day and entered the Cave Heaven World to Cultivate at night.

He did not know how many kilometers he had flown, but he had slaughtered quite a few exotic beasts along the way—over a hundred 6th and 7th-rank exotic beasts, and no less than five 8th-rank King Beasts.

Rumble—

Just as Han Ming was preparing to continue his journey, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from ahead.

Beast roars followed one after another, mixed with the roar of the ground shaking, getting closer and closer.

Han Ming frowned slightly, his Divine Sense spreading toward the direction the sound came from.

He quickly saw the situation over there.

A few miles away, a group of exotic beasts was frantically chasing a young woman.

There were twenty or thirty exotic beasts in that group, the lowest being 5th-rank exotic beasts. Each was as large as a mountain, and the earth trembled slightly with every step they took.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, her clothes tattered, her body covered in wounds, her long hair disheveled, and her steps unsteady; she was in a sorry state.

She was fleeing for her life, and it looked like she was about to be caught.

"Help—!" The woman saw Han Ming in the air, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes as she desperately flew toward his direction.

Han Ming hovered in the air, looking down at the woman who was getting closer.

Her appearance was extremely beautiful, with fair skin, delicate features, and a graceful figure. Large swaths of snowy skin were exposed under her tattered clothes, and her watery eyes were filled with terror and helplessness.

Anyone who saw her would feel pity.

However, Han Ming remained unmoved, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to encounter a Beast Emperor that has shapeshifted so perfectly."
