144: The Mysterious Realm of Soldier Souls!

"I came to the wrong place..." Chu Yuan thought to himself immediately.

Why go to the Ninth Legion? Clearly, the First Legion was the home he had never met before!

Although, it seemed they weren't allowed to choose in the first place...

Lü Xuehai instructed again, "But you shouldn't be too... hmm, don't be too high-profile. The intensity of this Mental Energy attack from Senior Brother hasn't reached the Eighth Realm; it serves more as a deterrent."

"I understand, Senior Brother." Chu Yuan instantly understood what Lü Xuehai meant.

The main purpose of this Mental Energy was to signal: This is someone I value; if you dare to touch him, just wait for me to come find you myself!

But Senior Brother is actually the Legion Commander of the First Legion? And he's also Eighth Realm? Isn't that the same Realm as Teacher?

"Senior Brother, what is Teacher busy with right now?"

Lü Xuehai shook his head. "I don't know either, only that he is busy with something very important. If you have any problems with your Cultivate, you can come to me first. Even if I can't solve it, there is still Senior Brother."

"There's no problem... I was just asking."

"Hmm, go ahead... Be careful on your way."

"Okay."

Yuan Yang and the others didn't ask prying questions. Given Chu Yuan's talent and strength, wasn't it normal for him to have a background?

Even if he didn't have one originally, after he displayed his talent, there would be plenty of experts willing to be his background.

Chu Yuan's Senior Brother was Seventh Realm, and Yuan Yang's Senior Brother, Zhang Yue, was also Seventh Realm... but the path of Martial Artist still had to be relied on oneself!

"In the Soldier Soul Profound Realm, the greatest threat is the Anomalies! Second is the alien races! Although our main source of danger for this mission is the alien races, we cannot relax our vigilance against the Anomalies." Yuan Yang distributed the supplies purchased by Wang Ying and Feng Hou.

"Soul Shock Pills can briefly prevent possession by Anomalies; Soul Shaking Bells can temporarily deter Anomalies... but the items themselves are quite fragile, so pay attention to precautions."

These were all clichés and precautions, but Yuan Yang still explained them tirelessly. After all, the Bell Tower Squad had really rarely had contact with Anomalies before...

"Additionally, the Mental Energy attacks that Anomalies are best at... for this, we can only resist them head-on. Relevant protective equipment is too expensive and rarely used, so it's not worth buying." Yuan Yang looked a bit regretful, then looked at Chu Yuan and smiled. "However, Chu Yuan, you shouldn't be afraid of them."

"Captain, in short, the meaning is that if we run into Anomalies, we should avoid them if we can, right?"

"Yes, but eight out of ten times we won't be able to avoid them... Why do you think the Soldier Soul Profound Realm is called that name?"

Soldier Soul Profound Realm... A Profound Realm was an existence one level higher than a Secret Realm.

The main characteristics were: first, the area was very large! Second, there were numerous entrances and exits, some fixed and some random. Third, it had rich yields, unlike the Secret Realm which was so singular.

Many experts believed that Secret Realms were downgraded from Profound Realms, and Profound Realms... if they could keep growing, would eventually jump out of their current spatial dimension and merge into the Universe.

Just like Earth Star... That was why Earth Star was so coveted, and many races wanted to possess it.

And every Profound Realm whose existence had been confirmed had an owner, either having indigenous inhabitants or having been seized. For example, the Soldier Soul Profound Realm was called that name because there was an Eighth Realm Anomaly inside, along with many other low-Realm Anomalies...

The origin of these Anomalies was a mystery. While they were said to be a race, they had all kinds of appearances. Some resembled the Soul of a deceased Human Race, others had the shapes of different alien races, and still others had appearances that no one recognized or had ever seen before.

They did not have the concept of reproduction; it was as if they just suddenly appeared. Furthermore, before reaching the Fifth Realm, their intelligence was extremely low, with only an instinctive desire to kill... making them very suitable as cannon fodder.

Anomalies also didn't have the concept of races or territories; their figures existed throughout the entire Outer Heaven Battlefield. It was just that the Anomalies that appeared in some places would be immediately cleared out, such as in sensitive areas like near the legions.

In mainstream classifications, there were three types of life forms: One: Flesh and Blood Life, regardless of appearance, if they bled when injured and could be eaten... they belonged to Flesh and Blood Life.

Two: Metal and Stone Life, it was hard to understand how a pile of Ore could develop intelligence and even be able to Cultivate... just as they couldn't understand Flesh and Blood Life.

Three: Energy Life / Spirit Life, having no physical form, with extremely high immunity to certain types of attacks! Anomalies were classified into this type of life form...

The Eighth Realm Anomaly in the Soldier Soul Profound Realm naturally had intelligence, and it was extremely high. This guy was very shrewd, knowing it was in the buffer zone between the Nightmare Insect Clan and the First Legion, and since it couldn't afford to offend either, it simply ignored everyone.

It even intentionally built the Soldier Soul Profound Realm into a place similar to a black market, allowing various races to enter and exit to conduct some dirty trades...

The First Legion and the Nightmare Insect Clan were not without greed for the yields of the Soldier Soul Profound Realm, especially the Nightmare Insect Clan... The Mental Energy resources produced by the Soldier Soul Profound Realm were very useful to them!

But because they were wary of each other, neither dared to make a move. Moreover, there were Ninth Realm existences among the Anomalies; they didn't care about low-tier Anomalies without intelligence, but if one were to slaughter high-tier Anomalies with intelligence, it would invite retaliation... as if they also possessed the concept of a race...

The pitch-black vortex looked like a giant mouth. Now, with his deeper understanding of the Golden Core Great Dao Song, Chu Yuan could faintly feel a trace of spatial fluctuation from it.

But it was only a feeling; to pry it open, he was still far from enough.

"Let's go." Yuan Yang's gaze was solemn as he took the lead and stepped in...

Chilling cold! This was Chu Yuan's first feeling.

The sky and the earth were everywhere grayish, as if covered by a filter, or covered by a layer of gauze... Growing on the ground were some strange-shaped plants, extremely ugly.

Living in this kind of environment, wouldn't you become mentally twisted before long?

"The energy concentration is so low..." Wang Ying felt it and complained.

Li Qi laughed, "What, do you still want to Cultivate here?"

Wang Ying rolled her eyes at him and said crossly, "...Do your job."

Li Qi raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. His figure flickered and he flew off in one direction. His speed was very fast, and his figure disappeared immediately...

When Chu Yuan had just joined the Bell Tower Squad, he heard him introduce himself as skilled in reconnaissance and concealment; his role in the team was as a scout.

Chu Yuan also perceived it slightly; the concentration of Origin Qi absorbed by Martial Artist was indeed very low. But another type of energy concentration was very high, which was the source of the chilling cold he felt... Yin Qi?

Chu Yuan didn't know what to call it, so let's call it Yin Qi for now. The concentration of Yin Qi in the Profound Realm was dozens of times higher than inside the Spirit Gathering Array!
