17: Night Raven

In this era of advanced technology and abundant resources, the dazzling array of goods in stores can satisfy almost all needs.

Ye Chen truly couldn't think of what help he still needed.

Therefore, Ye Chen scoffed at the Youth Mutual Aid Society, which sounded so wonderful.

It was fine for tricking naive university students, but he was a legendary third-year high school student.

As the saying goes, "There's no free lunch in the world." Who would give benefits for nothing?

What's more, Shen Jin's previous act of following him was already ill-intentioned.

"No need, I just want to focus on my studies and get into a good university."

Ye Chen's tone was cold.

"As for the Youth Mutual Aid Society you mentioned, go find someone who needs it more."

With that, he turned to leave.

Shen Jin's voice came from behind him:

"The power of our Youth Mutual Aid Society is beyond your imagination; you can make any request!"

Ye Chen didn't turn around after hearing that, walking and saying,

"If you can help me enter the Barren Domain, then we can talk."

"The Barren Domain?"

Shen Jin's voice carried confusion, but he still replied,

"I will report this to the higher-ups and will contact you as soon as there's a result."

Ye Chen didn't reply, his figure gradually leaving his sight.

Seeing Ye Chen leave, Shen Jin reported the situation to his superior again.

"Hey, Boss, remember that kid I mentioned to you last time?"

"He's a ruthless one. Today he directly crippled two classmates' God Domains at school..."

"I think this kid is definitely not simple; he might become the sharpest blade of our Night Raven in the future."

"Right, right, right. As long as we can promise him entry into the Barren Domain, I can win him over."

...

Ye Chen was naturally unaware of the conversation behind him.

Returning home, he threw himself onto the bed, his mind once again sinking into the Abyss.

Arriving at the Soul Mill, he laid out the cards in his hand.

Activating one of the "Berserk" cards, he took out a large mass of berserk aura.

Immediately after, he began to craft Worm souls.

After the soul fragments flew into the mold, according to the instructions, he took out a wisp of berserk aura and integrated it into them.

As the mold became one, a blank soul glowing with a bloody hue was born.

Estimating the consumption, a large mass of negative aura could only produce twenty soul cards.

He crafted 200 Worm souls in the same way, consuming another 82 Goblins for this.

He summoned all two hundred of these Worms.

The Abyss Will sprayed out light dots, then condensed into five phalanxes.

The Berserk Worms twisted their bodies erratically, like they had ADHD.

The Slaughter Worms were extremely aggressive, gnawing at any "enemies" near them.

The Fear Worms came with a fear aura, which could reduce the enemies' status.

The Despair Worms were the quietest, but looking directly into their eyes would induce various hallucinations.

The space around the Chaotic Worms twisted unconsciously, and anything approaching them would fall into a state of disorder.

Seeing that the Slaughter Worms were already entangled in combat, and even casualties had occurred, Ye Chen quickly separated them.

Looking at the few Slaughter Worms that had been torn to shreds, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but twitch a few times.

Fortunately, these negative auras were fused with their souls, so they could simply be re-summoned.

Otherwise, Ye Chen would definitely have been heartbroken.

He "resurrected" these few dead Slaughter Worms and then handed them all over to the Abyss Will.

These were seed contestants; he arranged for the Abyss Will to separate them and place them into the arena for cultivation.

He arranged for opponents of equal strength to engage them in bloody battles, and if they died, they would be resurrected again, until they achieved a hundred victories or broke through Evolution before stopping.

Just then, AgaVaried, who had just finished bathing in the blood pool, appeared above the arena.

Looking at the countless battlefields in the arena's projection, AgaVaried's eyes suddenly lit up.

This was a true training ground; compared to the hellish scene before her eyes, their previous training was like child's play.

After watching for a long time, AgaVaried flapped her wings, wanting to break into the arena to enjoy the joy of slaughter.

An invisible fluctuation suddenly blocked her, preventing her entry.

Needless to say, this was naturally Ye Chen's restriction.

The strength of these succubi was a whole lot stronger than the Worms; if he let them in, it would truly become a one-sided massacre.

As for AgaVaried's idea of training here...

That would have to wait until Ye Chen's Abyss Power was abundant.

Seeing that she couldn't break in, AgaVaried could only leave unwillingly.

Everything was back on track, and Ye Chen also exited the Abyss.

The next day, Ye Chen came to school as usual.

In the classroom, his classmates' gazes were filled with fear and wariness, but he didn't care, walking straight to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, a whistling sound came from his ear.

A handbook on cultivating dependents was spinning and flying towards him, targeting Ye Chen's head.

He tilted his head to avoid the attack from behind, knowing without looking that it was that crazy woman, Su Qian.

However, Ye Chen found this kind of counterattack quite childish.

After a night, Su Qian's complexion had improved somewhat, but seeing Ye Chen easily dodge the attack, she gnashed her teeth in anger again.

The other party involved, Zheng Lun, didn't come to school, perhaps unable to accept the blow of losing his God Lord status, or perhaps he had found another path.

After all, without the bonus points from his God Lord status, his path to higher education was already hopeless.

As the Teacher Liu entered the classroom, the atmosphere in the class gradually returned to normal.

The original owner wasn't particularly reclusive in the class, but the aura of a top student gave his classmates some sense of distance.

And after the incidents with Zheng Lun and Su Qian, this sense of distance was infinitely extended.

Ye Chen was also happy to have peace and quiet, listening to lectures and eating quietly.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for school to end in the evening.

The homeroom Teacher Liu came to the class and called Su Qian and Ye Chen away.

He brought the calm-faced Ye Chen and the teeth-gritting Su Qian to Director Wu's office.

Then he had Ye Chen wait outside, while Teacher Liu first led Su Qian into the office.

Ye Chen was bored outside, vaguely hearing words like "compensation" and "restoration" from inside.

It should have been compensation from the school to Su Qian, but wanting to restore her God Domain...

Not only was Su Qian's God Domain Core destroyed, but her entire God Domain was plundered by the Abyss.

To want to restore her God Domain was simply a pipe dream.

But Su Qian didn't think so; listening to Director Wu's repeated assurances, her mood improved greatly.

After all, there was hope, even if that hope was very slim.

Not long after, Su Qian came out of the office.

As she walked past Ye Chen, she let out a heavy snort.

Teacher Liu walked out of the office, motioned for Ye Chen to enter, then casually closed the door.

Director Wu was still slumped in his swivel chair, and seeing Ye Chen walk in, he casually threw out a card.

Ye Chen, quick-witted, grabbed it and carefully examined the card in his hand.

It was a race card named "Nether Crocodile Demon," and its level was—Elite!
