190: Are you the heir to the throne? Ancient Ghost
After everyone arrived at the location, the captain of the guard team gathered everyone together.
After a brief explanation, he distributed various equipment to everyone.
There were all kinds of technological extraordinary weapons, special cylindrical super-energy grenades, sci-fi super-energy pistols specifically designed to counter spirit monsters, and various heavy weapons deployed there.
One student curiously asked, “Good heavens! Who are we fighting?”
The instructor in charge of the introduction’s gaze sharpened, and he asked, “Didn’t your mentor tell you in advance?”
The student was immediately intimidated by the Aura, then stammered, “They mentioned Ghost Gate, Hell creatures, undead, andGhost.”
Hearing this, the instructor retracted his Aura, then said, “Hmm, tonight, you will see the legendary Ghost Gate. And you will fight alongside thousands of warriors here.”
“I hope all students can be more serious and treat tonight’s battle with care.”
After watching for over an hour, everyone had a basic understanding of the various weapons.
It was evident that the Official side had gathered everyone to the Cultivation grounds yesterday, and their participation in the No. 7 Ghost Gate battle today was quite rushed.
Bai Yu, who submitted the intelligence, had the clearest view of the situation.
‘The Official is really short on people now!’
‘And to be blunt, tonight’s major battle is a knockout round!’
‘Those who survive will naturally receive better training.’
‘Compensation and such will definitely be maximized. After all, worldly money is not a burden on the Official’s finances.’
After the Official finished their introduction, they also assigned tasks to everyone, then didn't restrict them much, allowing them to Move freely and explore the venue more.
Bai Yu and the other students naturally gathered together.
After witnessing the scene tonight, everyone felt it exceeded their psychological expectations.
Zhuge Ming also couldn’t help but look at Bai Yu and said, “I heard Brother Yu has the ability to divine?”
“Just a half-baked one, what’s up?”
“Then Brother Yu, what do you think of tonight’s situation?”
“The scope is too broad, I don’t know where to begin.”
“Just this Northern Mountain Range area, looking at it through the stars, I feel the situation is not good.”
Bai Yu naturally knew the situation was not good, but then he still tried his best to have enough trust in the Official, saying, “Discussing these things is meaningless. We just need to do our part.”
“Moreover, our Realm is low now, so we can’t see much.”
But Zhuge Ming clearly had some arrogance in his heart.
Or rather, he trusted his astrology skills more.
“Tonight, the Ghost Gate opens wide. We are already in the midst of it and cannot escape. Discussing it beforehand is always good.”
“Then, how do you view tonight’s battle?”
Zhuge Ming said very directly, “It won’t hold.”
Bai Yu was stunned, thinking, could it be that Zhuge Ming saw something?
Then he carefully considered it. Today’s four intelligence reports had no warnings, and the purple intelligence also revealed the enemy’s general layout.
No surprises occurred.
But he still followed Zhuge Ming’s meaning and asked, “If it won’t hold, then what are your plans?”
“Being a deserter is naturally impossible. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.”
“I just want to say that everyone here definitely has their own abilities. If it truly erupts, it could be equivalent to half a Linghai Realm.”
“Let’s all be open with each other, so we can cooperate better in tonight’s battle.”
Bai Yu: Hey! So that’s what he was thinking. I thought it was some bloody disaster or something, it made me uneasy.
And Zhuge Ming brought up this question because Bai Yu’s performance in the Gu Ta Village battle was just… not human!
He thought something big was going to happen at the time.
Who knew Bai Yu would have such a burst of power!
“Since I brought this up, I’ll be direct.”
“The Martial Arts Class is about to prepare a simulated combat device, have you all heard about it?”
“I’ve used all my ultimate Moves. My strongest Move is Starfall, released with the help of Star Power and a treasure fan made of Star Feathers. Its attack range is very large, its destructive power can reach level 32-35, and its energy level exceeds 50,000.”
This energy level obviously belongs to borrowing external power, the power of an Ancient God!
“Besides that, my other Moves include Tai Chi Diagram, Eight Directions Army Formation, and Heavenly Fire Star Lamp.”
During the last Gu Ta Village battle, everyone was maintaining the Formation, so Bai Yu really didn’t have a chance to witness Zhuge Ming and the others’ abilities.
Hearing their methods now, he was still a little shocked.
My brothers really all have cheats!
After Zhuge Ming opened the floodgates, the others seemed to be competing, unwilling to stop until they revealed an ultimate Move.
Li Zha had quite a few methods. His long spear, pagoda, and Buddhist beads, his three ultimate Moves, could all unleash Linghai Realm combat power.
Yang Fei’s main focus was continuous sustained combat power. Secondly, he could briefly erupt with the help of Ancient God power, equivalent to a level 30 Linghai Realm.
Sun Yaya’s ultimate Move was a Flood, which didn’t seem very suitable for this kind of battlefield.
However, she also had several other methods, no less than Li Zha and the others.
And what caught Bai Yu’s attention was naturally Lei Tao. This guy also had a strong personality, unwilling to be inferior to others, and said, “I mainly Cultivate the Dao of Thunder. Although I haven’t Cultivated with Ancient God items, I do have quite a few methods.”
“The Thunder Stone of the God of Thunder Swamp, the Thunder Drum made by Kui, and the mirror of the Electric Mother that releases lightning. These three methods can unleash Linghai Realm combat power.”
“Besides that, I also have the Heavenly Army Flag of General Zhang Jiao, which can summon a troop.”
“This point, I can cooperate with student Bai Yu. With your cooperation, perhaps this Heavenly Army Flag can summon unexpected creatures.”
The Lei Family appeared to be fine on the surface.
Bai Yu naturally wouldn’t show a bad face, he just smiled and said, “Okay, then let’s see Brother Lei Tao’s methods.”
From him onwards, it became a bit difficult for the others to show Linghai Realm methods.
Finally, it was Bai Yu’s turn to talk about his abilities.
Bai Yu thought for a moment and simply said, “I currently only master six or seven types of Thunder Daoist Magic, Palm Thunder, Sky Thunder Guide, Thunder Movement, Thunder Shadow Body, and the like, I haven’t fully learned them.”
“As for my explosive methods, I used them some time ago and haven’t recovered yet, so I probably can’t use them tonight.”
But saying this, Bai Yu felt it wasn’t quite right, so he added, “My normal combat power should be able to reach around level 25. I also have three Spirit Beasts in the Ling Yuan Realm Late Stage.”
“Ancient God treasures can also summon dozens of combat powers around level 15.”
“Oh, and there’s also a treasure related to Overlord Xiang Yu, but I use it less now.”
Although he used it less, he never forgot to nourish it with fresh blood.
And his current Physique is extremely powerful.
If he used it, it should be very fierce!
The others saw Bai Yu speak concisely at first, but then he said he possessed level 25 combat power, three Ling Yuan Realm Late Stage Spirit Beasts, plus dozens of summoned creatures.
Naturally, they had no objections.
If you want to raise an objection, you first have to be more awesome than him, right?
Li Zha then suggested, “Then tonight, our team of twenty or so people will be commanded by Brother Yu?”
“Huh?”
“In this kind of battle, the most taboo thing is fighting individually. There must be someone to command. And we are all arrogant people, we are all familiar with each other, the strength gap is not big, no one can convince anyone, but Brother Yu is quite suitable. I believe that during tonight’s battle, no one should be unconvinced.”
Bai Yu always felt that this guy was putting a yellow robe on him.
But he was not polite and said, “Alright! Then I won’t decline. Let’s just wait for the Ghost Gate to open!”
After saying that, everyone dispersed, either to Cultivate briefly or to learn more about the situation.
Bai Yu glanced at the Elves who were ‘left’ aside.
It wasn’t appropriate to leave them aside when they came to the Human Race territory to help, so he walked over.
“The battle hasn’t started yet, but I’m here to thank you all for your help!”
“It’s nothing, we’re just helping each other, right?”
“Then let me show you around here. To be honest, I haven’t seen many military-related extraordinary weapons either. This is my first time participating in such a scene.”
“Hmm? You too are here for the first time? Aren’t you a Human Race prince?”
“??? We don’t have any princes.”
Freya pouted and rephrased her words, saying, “Well, what I mean is, your status in the Human Race should be equivalent to a prince, right? After all, you are only in the second Realm, yet you have such powerful strength.”
“And those people seem to revolve around you.”
“In our world, there are also Human Race. You are like their heir to the throne, and they are like the sons of lords.”
“...At most, I’m equivalent to a commoner, I just have good talent.”
“Ah?”
“What’s wrong? Do you think your status is too low?”
“No, no, no, I was just curious, no ill intentions.”
“It’s fine. The most urgent task is to prepare for tonight’s battle.”
“What is the most urgent task?”
“...You wait a moment, I’ll find a Dragon to get you on the right channel.”
With that, a flash of white light, and White Spirit appeared.
But White Spirit’s big black eyes looked at Bai Yu, appearing very angry.
“Cough cough, look, this little elf is as cute as you. Cute people definitely have a lot to talk about, right?”
White Spirit was easily appeased.
And she really wanted to chat with the elf. The two... one person and one Dragon quickly started chatting.
While showing Freya and the others around, Bai Yu also scanned the valley.
He could feel that somewhere on the mountain behind him, there were two Elves Auras.
Their natural power was simply too rich!
‘The Thunder God Eyes’ ability gives me powerful tracking skills.’
‘If this were back when I was solving cases, tsk tsk, I can’t even imagine!’
Approaching seven in the evening.
Sunset and moonrise.
Under a special Domain, wandering Soul bodies began to appear in the dense forest.
Most of these people were dressed in ancient attire.
These low-level wandering Souls were naturally handled by the reserve students.
Although they were already the lowest level, since it was their first time encountering ghosts, everyone was still a little scared.
Zhang Youpeng was already considered brave among this group of people.
And this kid also formed a six-person team.
Zhang Youpeng bravely said, “I’ll use the net to trap it first. If this ghost is strong, then you guys shoot.”
“Alright, Brother Youpeng!”
At this time, Qian Yu behaved relatively bravely, and seemed to be the type with a steady personality.
He picked up the Soul-catching net and threw it towards the three ghosts in front.
As a result, he missed!
“Holy crap! Are you doing this net-fishing style?”
Zhang Youpeng was still bold enough. He picked up a specially made cold weapon, the Soul Spear, and thrust it directly.
When the long spear pierced into the ghost’s body, a vortex appeared at the pierced part of the ghost.
Then, a suction force pulled the Soul body, slowly integrating it into the Soul Spear’s interior.
But beside him, a farmer-like ghost raised a hoe and directly swung it over.
Zhang Youpeng wanted to pull out the long spear to block, but there was a huge resistance, as if the absorbed ghost was trying to lift it.
“Bang~” a sound.
The gun fired!
The bullet accurately hit the ghost’s heart, instantly making the ghost temporarily lose its combat power.
Looking closely, it was Qian Yu who fired the shot.
Zhang Youpeng anxiously said, “Quick! Quickly stab him with the red spear and absorb the energy, this is our score.”
The other team members frantically eliminated the remaining two Soul bodies.
And in the shadows, Bai Yu was naturally also observing the process of clearing the ghosts.
Zhang Youpeng had a good relationship with him, so he naturally paid more attention.
“Captain, there seems to be something inside this Thunder Spear that collects Souls.”
Li Yunbin nodded and said, “Hmm! If you remove the Yin-cold Qi from the ghost’s body, it can be considered a Soul-type treasure.”
Just then, a commotion came from afar.
“Holy crap! Monster! Monster!”
Everyone looked towards the sound and found that it was a giant wild boar!
This wild boar was about five meters tall, and its tusks were three meters long.
Moreover, the hair on its back was like steel bristles.
The Aura of Lingyuan Realm Peak!
Bai Yu was shocked. It was only a little past seven, and such a big monster had already appeared?
At this moment, a Formation formed under the wild boar’s feet, and eight chains were thrown out, attempting to imprison the wild boar.
Bai Yu looked over. It was an Official student at the Qi Gathering Realm.
Nether attribute!
Quite rare.
And those Official students with some strength definitely wanted to show off.
Some of them had even entered the ‘Earth’ level Cultivation rooms and now wanted to secure their positions.
Soon, a green bird-like Soul body appeared and, with a ‘whoosh,’ directly pounced.
“Boom!”
But these attacks were just tickles to the wild boar.
Bai Yu’s eyes moved. He couldn’t let them consume too much on just one monster.
He pointed his single hand forward, and three spherical Palm Thunders appeared.
“Go!”
Three half-meter diameter Thunder balls quickly attacked.
“Boom~!”
After the first one exploded, it instantly impacted the wild boar’s Soul body.
The second one formed a restraining Domain.
The third one carried ten golden Sky Thunder Guides, directly striking the two wild boar horns that were gathering energy.
“Roar~!”
The wild boar let out a painful and furious howl.
These Official students thought it was Official personnel who had made a Move, but then they looked and saw it was the first batch of students.
A young, bald student said, “No wonder they can directly get a Cultivation room, it’s truly a dream!”
As he spoke, several Buddhist Fists also appeared behind him, attacking the weakened wild boar.
But the battle here hadn’t ended when a two-headed giant snake appeared in the distance.
Bai Yu frowned and wondered, “It doesn’t feel like an ancient Soul body.”
Yang Fei beside him said, “In March, a fierce battle took place here.”
“The Ghost Gate gathers Soul bodies from a ten-kilometer radius. There have been quite a few battles secretly occurring in this Northern Mountain Range!”
“The Official attaches so much importance to this No. 7 Ghost Gate, perhaps it’s also because many powerful Spirit bodies died near here.”
“I see. Then let’s warm up first!”
As he spoke, Bai Yu transformed into a stream of light and directly attacked the powerful great snake.
The Official personnel watched quietly from the side, not making a Move.
