626: Life Card

“Don’t mess around...”

Before Moreit could finish speaking, Chen Du’s body radiated a strong Life Strength fluctuation, far exceeding that of his School’s Sky Soaring Warrior-level teachers.

In fact, this fluctuation was almost catching up to the principal of their Huangshan Martial Arts University!

The strength gap between Chen Du and Moreit was too large, and with Chen Du also having Control over the Domain ability, it was too easy for him to hide his Rank in front of Moreit.

This Life Strength also startled the two Rank 19 Advanced Martial Artists hiding in the shadows, but because Chen Du was the son of a protected target and his behavior showed no harm.

After a brief disturbance, the two figures continued to lurk.

“You!”

Facts are the best proof, and Chen Du didn't waste words. He briefly recounted his experiences, 1% true, 99% false.

“So... you just leveled up to Rank 27 like that, as if picking up money?”

“From Rank 5.1 when I first saw you, to Rank 27 now.”

“In one year, your Life Strength increased by 21.9 Ranks?”

Chen Du nodded, looking like, “You got it right.”

“Oh my god, your progress speed is incredible. Even novels wouldn't dare to write it like this, and you dare to make it up to me? Do you really think I don't know anything?!”

Chen Du was stunned. He had overlooked one point: Moreit’s birth and the School he attended now gave him a different perspective and understanding of the world.

This kind of growth rate was clearly abnormal, and only his parents and younger brother would believe it.

It wasn't because of their love or trust, but rather that people at their level hadn't been exposed to such high levels and would have certain fantasies.

For example, Chen Du used to think that people in the First Ecological Zone were incredibly awesome. If someone had told him then that a Genius there could level up 20 Ranks in a year, he wouldn't have found it strange; he might even have thought it was only natural.

Ignorance, to some extent, equals imagination.

Although Moreit's Rank wasn't high, he was clearly not the kind to be easily fooled.

“Forget it, I won't ask any more questions. What happened to you is too unbelievable; it couldn't possibly be as simple as you say.”

“The story from your mouth is like the bottle of Giant Bear Brew I saw when I came in, diluted with who knows how much water.”

So, Dad bought fake alcohol!

Moreit was a rich second-generation after all; he could tell the authenticity with a glance or a sniff.

Chen Du, of course, didn't understand alcohol. For him, authenticity didn't matter. These wines were continuations of old-era recipes, just with dozens of degrees higher alcohol content. With people's current physical condition, it was impossible to get into trouble from drinking them.

As long as Chen Juncai was happy, Chen Du didn't plan to expose the truth.

At this point, Moreit looked at Chen Du seriously:

“Chen Du, I’m not that curious about your story.”

“No matter what you say now, the fact that you are a master is a fact, and that’s enough!”

With that, he took out a damaged card from his pocket and handed it over.

Chen Du took it. It was described as damaged, but in fact, only a quarter remained. The missing part was not a tear mark but a scorched mark from burning.

This scorch mark hadn't completely solidified, and faint traces of flames flickered within, as if stuck at a critical point, neither fully burned nor unburned.

“This should be a ‘life card,’ right? Burning to this extent indicates that the person bound to this card only has about 25% of their vital signs left.”

“Although it can't improve anything, a life card is still a very valuable resource. Anyone qualified to bind it is at least an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.”

“So, who is bound to this card?”

Chen Du glanced at it and judged.

“It’s my dad, Mo Wuyan.”

“Your dad is an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior?”

Chen Du said with some surprise. No wonder Moreit’s family background was so good, almost on par with Liang City's richest. It turned out his dad was so formidable.

He now knew that the number of Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors registered in the High Martial Civilization was 5998, less than 6000.

If distributed equally, each Ecological Zone would have approximately 1000 Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors.

That is, it would take seven cities to gather one Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.

Moreover, most of these Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors were Rank 25. Someone like Wang Chong, whom he encountered within the cordon before, was a minority among Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors.

But in reality, that's impossible. The First Ecological Zone faces the most pressure and has the most masters.

The other Ecological Zones, especially the Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior circle, are allocated based on demand, with no relation to their original place of belonging.

It’s truly a case of “the capable do more.”

“Yes, this card was placed on me by my dad. The original purpose was to motivate me to become an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.”

Moreit spoke of his father with some pride; he had always been his role model.

“It’s like this, Chen Du.”

“My dad went to the Floating Plate to perform a solo mission before.”

“You know that place; it’s a combat zone for the three Great Civilizations, extremely dangerous.”

“However, it wasn’t the first time my dad performed such a mission, and as an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior, he definitely had a plan.”

“But not long ago, his life card completely extinguished.”

Hearing this, Chen Du couldn't help but take out the life card, which was burned down to a quarter, looked at it, and said nothing, waiting for the rest of the story.

“Once a life card is completely burned out, it means the person has died, but the card won’t completely disappear; a small, charred piece of cardstock the size of a pinky finger will remain.”

Moreit finished speaking, his eyes fixed on the life card in Chen Du’s hand:

“The life card you see now wasn’t burned down to only a quarter of its size.”

“Instead, it grew from a charred piece of cardstock the size of a pinky finger to its current quarter size!”

After a moment of silence, Chen Du tentatively spoke:

“So, your dad resurrected?”

Moreit shook his head:

“My dad doesn’t have such strange abilities, and the High Martial Civilization has no way to resurrect a person.”

With that, he took the life card from Chen Du’s hand and pointed it in a certain direction. The flame within the scorch mark subtly grew larger at that moment.

“The flame at the crack of the life card doesn’t burn the card but indicates the direction of the bound person.”

“The direction in which the flame gets larger is the bound person’s location.”

“My dad’s direction has remained in a certain spot for a week now. Even if he really resurrected, he would either come back or continue his mission; it’s impossible for there to be no change at all.”

“I told my mentor about this.”

“But he said that there’s a shortage of talent right now, and there’s no way to specially dispatch an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior to confirm the truth of this matter.”

“And he told me that the life card couldn’t be wrong, and to just wait patiently.”

“But do you know, Chen Du?”

At this point, Moreit took out something from his Storage Ring that was both familiar and surprising to Chen Du.

“This is...”
