51: First siege successful, the secret of the trial

Blood Battle is a burst skill that provides a huge boost to Attack, Resistance, and Endurance.

However, stacking poison ignores defense.

Furthermore, with precautions taken, the White-Browed Tiger King couldn't control Huang Chen at all.

Just like that, after the final Poison Sand Palm, the Tiger King's health instantly emptied.

[Ding! Congratulations on solo-killing a Level 40 Silver Boss. Points +10 million.]

Following the notification that sounded in Huang Chen's ear, a giant screen reappeared in the sky:

[Congratulations to the Huaxia 10086 Novice Village for successfully defending the city first! All defense personnel are rewarded 1 million points each. The Huaxia Clan is rewarded with +5 bone structure.]

[Ding! Your Potential Points have increased by 145 points.]

[Ding! Your Bonded Goddesses have provided you with 1,035 Potential Points.]

Huang Chen gained a total of 1,180 more Potential Points.

This time, he allocated all his Potential Points to Resistance.

His Attack was sufficient now, and his Stamina was also enough; only Resistance and Movement Skill were still relatively weak.

Once he strengthened these two weak points in subsequent upgrades, he would become a five-sided warrior.

In fact, his total of 39,330 Potential Points already surpassed his previous life's total at the same time by hundreds of times. Even the Vermilion Bird Clan, which currently had the highest bone structure, lagged far behind him.

However, this was because the other High Martial Worlds hadn't yet received many bone structure enhancements.

After entering the Main City, they would have too many opportunities left behind by their predecessors.

Moreover, their original foundation was high. Through these opportunities, their bone structure sometimes increased by tens, hundreds, or even several hundred points at a time.

Huang Chen remembered that in his previous life, less than two years after the Vermilion Bird Clan entered the Main City, they obtained the Super God Rank exotic Nirvana Parasol Tree. After Vermilion Bird City was built, they planted the Parasol Tree within the city.

All members of the Vermilion Bird Clan who meditated under the Nirvana Parasol Tree had the chance to successfully achieve Nirvana, thereby increasing their bone structure by 200 to 500 points.

Many races in other High Martial and Middle Martial Worlds had received such opportunities, and more than once.

Huang Chen didn't believe that these were opportunities they found entirely on their own.

But since they had connections above, what could be done about it?

"Boom~" A Kui Niu turned into dust under a strike filled with Feng Wu's hatred.

Although she had anticipated that the Huaxia Clan member would definitely take first place.

When first place was actually snatched away by someone else, Feng Wu still felt unwilling.

She had killed all the bosses along the route she defended, so her current points were relatively high.

But now she was ranked after 1,630th place.

She certainly couldn't solo-kill the tenth-stage boss; at most, she would be left with the final blow, which should still give her around 1 million points when distributed.

Adding the 500,000 points awarded for being the second to clear the city siege, surpassing those 1,629 people should be no problem.

But looking at the first place rank with 12 million points, Feng Wu felt utterly helpless.

What kind of person was this?

From the several bone structure rewards given to Huaxia, it was easy to see that this was a Weak Martial World with an extremely poor foundation.

Yet, was such a person something that could originate from a Weak Martial World?

"Feng Wu!"

Just as Feng Wu was spacing out, an old woman softly called out beside her.

"Grandmother, why are you here?"

Feng Wu recognized the person and immediately offered a respectful salute.

This was Phoenix Flying Phoenix, the former Empress of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Because Feng Wu possessed the highest talent in the clan, Phoenix Flying Phoenix did not pass the throne to her daughter when she abdicated, but instead passed it down a generation to Feng Wu.

"Still thinking about that Huaxia Clan member?" Phoenix Flying Phoenix asked.

Feng Wu nodded.

"Sigh~"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Phoenix Flying Phoenix's eyes. She then sighed and said, "Originally, some things weren't suitable for you to know right now, but I fear that continuing like this will affect your Dao Heart."

"You know that the Trial Grounds are prepared for the races of the Initial Land."

"Every powerful race in the Source Universe actually originated and developed from a Weak Martial World in the Initial Land."

"The Initial Land in the Source Universe nurtures trillions of beings, and every newly formed race is a Child of Destiny. The true meaning of the Trial Grounds is the selection competition for these emerging races."

"As for us, bloodlines who were sent back into the Initial Land by our ancestors using great divine abilities, we actually do not possess the qualifications to compete for the final ranking of the Trial Grounds."

"Our mission has never been to compete for first place in the trial, and the Source Universe would never allow us to achieve it anyway."

"To put it plainly, we are merely bloodlines sent in by our ancestors to contend for a slight amount of Fortune for the entire Vermilion Bird Clan in the Source Universe."

"And as for how to contend for this trace of Fortune..."

Phoenix Flying Phoenix narrowed her eyes, opened her mouth, but finally just shook her head and said, "You will understand in the future. Speaking more now is useless."

"However, there is one thing you can pay attention to: if you encounter the Huaxia Clan in the future, try your best to establish good relations with them." Phoenix Flying Phoenix paused here, then her expression hardened as she continued, "But if you become enemies, you must destroy them before they have a chance to grow."

After listening to Phoenix Flying Phoenix's words, Feng Wu nodded thoughtfully.

Feng Wu had actually seen mention of what Phoenix Flying Phoenix spoke about in some incomplete ancient records, except that the records did not mention how to contend for Fortune... With the fall of the White-Browed Tiger King, bursts of cheers erupted in the 10086 Novice Village.

After the Successful City Defense, a massive altar appeared in the center of the square. This was the Teleportation Array used to leave the Novice Village.

However, the Teleportation Array had not yet opened. They had to wait until the Monster Siege in all Novice Villages concluded before they could leave.

Taking advantage of this time, Huang Chen had Xie Chunyan and Lin Han reorganize the 800 subordinates again.

After experiencing this rebellion incident, these 800 people had proven their loyalty and could completely serve as the foundation for establishing a guild.

Of course, Huang Chen learned his lesson this time and directly asked the system to filter out anyone whose Affection rating was below 0.

However, there were none; the lowest Affection rating was 50+.

Following Huang Chen's suggestion, the Harem Group was canceled.

After all, the most important thing now was to find four more goddesses with a rating above 95 to allow the system to evolve to Level 4.

This was the true path to Huang Chen's strength.

Before long, Xie Chunyan presented the reorganized plan to Huang Chen.

Since Huang Chen had mentioned establishing a guild after entering the Main City, Xie Chunyan structured the reorganization directly based on a guild framework.

She first selected 200 people from the 300 veterans to form the Personal Guard, with a squad leader appointed for every 10 people, and Shu Xi as the overall commander.

Of the remaining 100 veterans, 50 were used to establish the Combat Department, serving as 50 squad leaders, and the 500 new recruits were assigned to these 50 squads. Li Ruo was appointed the overall commander.

The remaining 50 people formed the Logistics Department, overseen by Lin Mengting, He Siyu, Xiao Ling'er, and Huang Mengni. Their specific areas of responsibility would be arranged after the guild was formally established.

The Guild Master was naturally Huang Chen, although Huang Chen would retreat behind the scenes.

Bai Zhaoning, Chen Yichun, Xia Qing, Li Ruo, and Xie Chunyan would serve as Vice Guild Masters.

Xie Chunyan would uniformly take charge of all work on behalf of Huang Chen.

Regarding Xie Chunyan's capabilities, the women were now completely convinced.

Finally, there were Chen Ling and the other rebels.

Huang Chen did not want to recruit these people into the team, nor did he want to wipe them out completely, so he just let them go.

In the previous life, about 600 million Huaxia people eventually entered the Main City. In this life, after several enhancements, a conservative estimate should be around 1 billion.

Of course, it was impossible for so many people to be crammed into one city.

Therefore, Huaxia Main City had 100 Satellite Cities, and everyone could freely choose where to teleport shortly.

Finally, after Huang Chen instructed Xie Chunyan to tell everyone to teleport to the 21st Satellite City of Huaxia Main City shortly, he teleported by himself to the prison entrance.
