59: Qiling Star, the mission begins

September 8th.

Recently, within Jinling Martial Arts University, many places were discussing a new faction called Prism.

Of course, its founder, Chen Qing, was also a topic of conversation.

Everyone said that Chen Qing was deliberately stirring up trouble among students and inciting internal strife.

This made many people indignant, believing Chen Qing was not a good person.

That's just how people are; many don't have their own judgment or understanding regarding constantly spreading public opinion.

Most of the time, they believe whatever the public opinion transmits.

Mission Hall.

This was Chen Qing's first time taking on a mission.

He had no choice; recently, apart from the Rejuvenation Pill and bloodburst pill gifted by his teacher, his resources were almost depleted, and he needed to earn some resources to Cultivate by completing missions.

As for those Medicinal Pills, they were for combat and self-preservation, and he had no intention of selling them.

After looking around, Chen Qing had already set his sights on his mission target.

Qi Ling Star!

The entrance to this planet is located in the Southern Hemisphere of Blue Star, and it is also the closest small battlefield to Jinling Martial Arts University.

Chen Qing left the school gate with a free data packet he received from the Mission Hall.

This time, he didn't plan to go with Fu Mingyu and the others; ever since last night, everyone had temporarily separated to Cultivate on their own.

Everyone has their own Cultivate methods and pace, so there's no need to Cultivate together all the time.

Wang Xiaomin, Xia Xuan, and Wu Cheng had moved directly into the Prism headquarters.

The building allocated by the school to the faction already came with living quarters and corresponding Cultivate facilities, which were much better than their four-person dorms... Chen Qing boarded the high-speed rail, heading towards the Qi Ling Star portal.

More than half a month had passed since he entered the school, and this was his first time leaving the campus...

"Damn it, this is infuriating! The Yao Beasts on Qi Ling Star have gone crazy recently! They chase humans relentlessly; how are we supposed to gain experience like this?" a shabbily dressed young man cursed as he emerged from a massive iron gate.

Several other people, all covered in wounds and looking grim, also walked out of the iron gate.

Beside them, some newcomers who hadn't yet entered the passage gathered upon hearing this, and someone asked, "What's going on? What happened inside?"

A curvy girl with a gloomy expression said irritably, "What else could it be? Yao Beast rampage! They're chasing something furiously, and I don't know what it is.

Could it be that someone destroyed their lair and got discovered?

Damn it, next time, can people like that please go to the Space Battlefield?

They've stirred up so many Yao Beasts, even many second-tier, third-tier, and even fourth-tier Yao Beasts!

What are we Martial Artist students who came here for experience supposed to do?"

"That's right! Old Huang, to cause such a commotion, it must be at least a mid-third-tier Martial Artist, right?

Why don't mid-third-tier Martial Artists go to the Space Battlefield?

Old Huang, you can't be biased towards them!

Please try to report this to the higher-ups; at least leave some training grounds for us low-tier Martial Artists!"

Next to the portal, an old man with a slightly aged but overall spirited face also found it strange; no mid-third-tier Martial Artists had entered recently.

So what exactly happened to Qi Ling Star recently?

Are they trying to attack Blue Star?

Unlikely.

Qi Ling Star has always been relatively low-key, rarely causing trouble.

The old man was the gatekeeper of this portal, constantly observing the dynamics of the Qi Ling Star Battlefield, and was quite knowledgeable about it.

He took a puff of his cigarette and chuckled, "It should be fine; it might be the Yao Beasts' mating season recently. Let them calm down, and you can come back in a while."

"Ah? Old Huang, the Youth Martial Dao Ranking Tournament preliminaries are about to begin, and we need to complete missions."

Old Huang waved his hand, "Do you expect me to go in and slaughter them all? If you're afraid to go in, you can go to other places to do missions for now and come back later."

The crowd was somewhat unwilling but dared not refute. They glanced at the portal and left.

Chen Qing watched the departing crowd, feeling a bit uneasy. Was it really that dangerous inside now?

He had been observing this simply decorated metal hall for a while now.

He understood that the situation on the Qi Ling Star Battlefield seemed not too good recently.

He frowned and looked at the old man surnamed Huang guarding the portal, asking, "Old... Old Huang, is it really that dangerous inside?"

Old Huang, with a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at him. He hadn't seen him before; he was probably a novice who hadn't fought much.

He casually said, "Which battlefield isn't dangerous? You believe it's dangerous just because others think so?

Those few people just now only had minor injuries; if they want to hone their Martial Dao like that, they should go back to sleep early!"

With that, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, pulled out a phone, and started scrolling with a chuckle.

Chen Qing was speechless. I just asked a question; why the big temper?

Also, do all old men nowadays love to scroll on their phones so much?

He remembered the owner of the weapon shop was also like that.

Chen Qing leaned forward slightly, wanting to see what the old man was scrolling through.

However, no matter how much he leaned, even bending his upper body to 90 degrees, he couldn't see the screen.

The gatekeeper looked up and chuckled, "Heh heh, kid, you want to know about this old man's private life too?

What, do you want to be my grandson?

Come, call me grandpa, and I'll show you!"

Chen Qing straightened his body, his face somewhat dark.

If he didn't want to show it, he didn't have to, but the old man actually tried to take advantage of him!

Disrespectful of his age!

Chen Qing stepped through the massive, steel-forged portal and disappeared from the simple hall.

Old Huang, the gatekeeper, smiled and continued to scroll through videos.

This young man is quite interesting, but it's a pity; he's entering the battlefield for the first time empty-handed, not even bringing a weapon.

And he's acting alone.

I hope he doesn't die inside... Chen Qing's feeling was very strange. The steel-forged portal looked pitch black from the outside, with nothing to see.

But as soon as he entered, he felt a special fluctuation related to Mental Energy, and the surrounding scenery changed in an instant, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on a piece of land.

Behind him was an identical portal.

Is it the power of space?

Chen Qing wasn't completely ignorant of this; he possessed the B-rank skill Ice Prism Mirror, which was also a semi-space-jumping skill.

Although he wasn't sure why he, being ice-attributed, could use a skill with space attributes, he had indeed genuinely experienced the feeling of space travel.

Before he could ponder further, a massive roar came.

Chen Qing looked intently and saw a huge scorpion, about two meters long, chasing several humans and running towards the portal.

"Damn it! Who lured this Spirit Tail Scorpion? Why is it constantly chasing us?"

"I don't know! We just got here, and something like this is already happening?"

"Never mind, we're almost at the portal. Let's retreat first."

They saw a person standing next to the portal ahead and quickly shouted, "Brother, get out first! Qi Ling Star isn't peaceful recently!

This Spirit Tail Scorpion is second-tier! The key is that it has potent venom and is difficult to deal with!"

Chen Qing stood there blankly, looking like he had no combat preparations. In their eyes, he was probably a newcomer.

They decided to remind him along the way, lest he get into trouble.

However, Chen Qing did not retreat; instead, he walked steadily, step by step, towards their direction.

As he walked, a sharp ice crystal long saber slowly condensed in Chen Qing's hand.

Its appearance was identical to his shark tooth!
