Chapter 188: Ghost Dragon Gate Incident, The Ghost Gate Opens!
By noon, it was time for lunch.
The food prepared here was naturally quite abundant.
Bai Yu knew in his heart that there would be a fierce battle tonight, so his mood wasn’t exactly great.
Upon arriving at the canteen, he naturally found Li Yunbin and the others, and they were chatting and laughing.
But at this moment, a group of people walking into the canteen entrance inevitably drew everyone’s attention.
Freya, Regus, and the others from the Xing Ye Elf Race!
They were currently wearing rather peculiar outfits, and each of them was a handsome man or a beautiful woman, naturally attracting everyone’s gaze.
“Who are these people? They look so strange.”
“I don’t know.”
“Elves!”
“Damn! Legendary elves? Is it real or fake?”
“The world has already changed, aren’t our enemies all sorts of monsters from myths? Isn’t it normal to encounter elves?”
“But they’re too good-looking! If…”
However, his words were immediately interrupted.
“Damn it, everyone here is a Transcendent, their hearing is incredibly good. Don’t speak carelessly, it can easily get you into trouble!”
“Oh, oh, I almost forgot.”
Freya and the others looked around, saw a certain direction, discussed happily for a few sentences, and then walked over.
Behind them, three elven elders and several tutors also entered, heading to another part of the canteen.
Bai Yu’s side.
Freya excitedly, hopping and skipping, walked over and ‘tentatively’ asked, “Student Bai Yu?”
She had been notified to join the Martial Arts Class, similar to their academy.
Naturally, they would address each other as classmates.
Bai Yu was also very friendly and then said, “Do you have any missions here?”
“Missions? We’re just here to study together, we have no ill intentions.”
“Then do you know our schedule for today?”
“I do! It’s the Ghost Gate of your world. I heard it’s quite dangerous! But we’re not afraid!”
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Freya was quite happy, then looked around.
She had seen Li Yunbin and the others last time.
The only strangers were Liu Ruoxi, Li Zha, and the others.
She tentatively asked, “We don’t know anyone else here, can we sit here?”
“Of course!”
A few simple discussions attracted the attention of others.
“As expected, big shots are like magnets, no beauty can resist the temptation!”
“By the way, brother, shouldn’t we be paying attention to the Ghost Gate?”
“Ghost Gate? What Ghost Gate?”
“Big brother! It’s the Ghost Festival today!”
“So what if it’s the Ghost Festival? We’re cultivating, we don’t have time to go back and pay respects to our ancestors.”
“. Brother, can you think differently? The Ghost Festival in the transcendent world.”
“Damn! Are there really ghosts?”
“Didn’t the elves just mention the Ghost Gate? Didn’t you hear them?”
“Now that you mention it, I do recall, it seems they did say something.”
The people in the canteen quickly started discussing, especially the announcements posted on the doors of the Heaven and Earth cultivation rooms, regarding the Ghost Festival and distribution based on combat performance.
This made the students who hadn’t reached the Qi Gathering Realm anxious.
How could they fight ghosts with their bare hands?
And from the looks of it, this was going to be a deadly affair!
On Bai Yu’s side, however, they were also chatting about the Ghost Festival, but they seemed quite relaxed.
Bai Yu knew too much information, so he wasn’t as optimistic as they were.
As they chatted, Freya couldn’t help but ask Bai Yu, “I heard from the elders that your seniors made a deal with my race. They will select a few people to go to the Holy Land for training. Student Bai Yu, you’ll go, right?”
Bai Yu thought of the white-robed expert’s words.
Was it not the Scepter of Thunder, but the Holy Land?
“I should. After all, to strengthen the Scepter of Thunder, I will definitely go.”
“Oh? You earned five thousand Spiritual Stones?”
Sensing the gazes of those around him, Bai Yu said grandly, “Hah~ Just a small amount!”
“Hooray!”
“However, speaking of which, I still don’t know what your Holy Land is for, let’s chat about it.”
“Hmm, that cannot be revealed. I’ll have to ask the elder later. You should be able to find out.”
“Okay!”
Afterward, they officially began eating.
Regarding the various delicacies, these elves who had only recently emerged were somewhat boisterous.
After everyone finished eating, as expected, they were called to the training ground to discuss the day’s operations.
“All students should know that today is the Ghost Festival.”
“Most of you have only recently encountered supernatural events. In past Ghost Festivals, you might have just burned some paper and passed peacefully.”
“But in corners you don’t know, there are countless…”
Honestly, if this were discussed on a normal occasion, people might not feel much.
But after seeing the combat records of Tianhai City related to the Ghost Festival, one could no longer remain indifferent!
Last year alone, during the Ghost Festival, a large number of ghosts invaded the world, and the Lizardman Race took advantage of this to attack an official research institute and plunder a group of researchers.
And this was just one incident in Tianhai City.
If we were to talk about losses, the areas invaded by forces like the Netherworld were the most tragic!
In 2033, the Ghost Dragon Gate incident in Nanhai Province resulted in the deaths of seven Spirit Sea Realm cultivators! Over fifteen hundred people were sacrificed.
Disasters of this magnitude will only become more frequent.
Speaking of which, the young tutor above became emotional and said, “Students, I will first share with you a past battle during the Ghost Festival.”
“It was a support operation to Nanhai Province, the Ghost Dragon Gate incident in 2033. At that time, I was just a newcomer who had just glimpsed the Spirit Sea Realm, only 25 years old, not much older than you all.”
“It was a confrontation with an Alien Race, a gamble of life and death. If not for the favor of Fate, and not being at the center of the Ghost Dragon Gate battlefield, perhaps today, I would not be able to stand here and fight alongside you.”
“The reason I bring up this past event is to clarify a fact for you: in the transcendent world, this is by no means a child’s play! This is not an amusement park you can enter and exit as you please, but a battlefield that requires you to defend with your lives and honor!”
“The superiors grant you resources and enhance your strength, not to show off your power in front of ordinary people, but to display our unyielding spirit and bravery in front of the Alien Races! Our will and strength!”
“For those who are dissatisfied with the resource allocation, I say this: everyone who received resources yesterday, tonight, it is time to show your strength and fulfill your mission!”
“As for others, those who are eager to prove themselves, do not worry. You do not need to surpass those with higher cultivation, you only need to show courage and contribution beyond your current realm, and the Heaven and Earth cultivation rooms will surely have a place for you!”
“If anyone lacks talent and virtue, yet covets more and harbors dissatisfaction, then now is the time for you to leave! You still have options before the end of August. But once you step through the threshold of the Martial Arts Class, it is a path of no return, with no possibility of turning back!”
“Now, the choice is in your hands. If anyone retreats, you can tell me later.”
This tutor looked quite young, not much older than everyone else.
So his words stirred up emotions in quite a few people.
Especially after seeing a lot of information about the Ghost Gate, some people were having second thoughts.
They were undergoing a special cognitive process, which was that they originally thought the Human Race had a great advantage.
Only now did they realize that the Human Race’s situation was not good!
This meant that the officials could not provide them with an absolutely safe training environment.
After finishing this speech, the tutor announced the arrangements for tonight: guarding the Seventh Ghost Gate!
He also emphasized that today would be a fierce battle, and most of the forces were guarding other places, so the Seventh Ghost Gate would require a great deal of effort from the students, and it was not a game.
After confirming the arrangements, they directly waited for the vehicles and then departed.
On the vehicle.
After Bai Yu and the others heard this, there was naturally no question of them becoming deserters.
They boarded the troop transport vehicle.
Bai Yu’s squad, the elves, Liu Ruoxi, Li Zha, Yang Fei, and Zhuge Ming.
With everyone present, Bai Yu looked at Liu Ruoxi and asked doubtfully, “The tutor asked you to get on our vehicle?”
“Yes! The tutor also asked me to act with you tonight.”
Liu Ruoxi’s eyes were bright, and she didn’t seem like she was lying at all.
Bai Yu didn’t understand this move from above.
Was it because Liu Ruoxi received the benefits of the Taiji Array?
But with her strength, how could she get involved in their battlefield?
Could it be that the Yin Messenger big boss was controlling the situation?
At this moment, Li Zha glanced at his phone and said with a smile, “Four people from the reserve candidates of the Martial Arts Class have withdrawn.”
No one was surprised by this news.
However, Freya pouted and said, “Hmph! Cowards!”
Bai Yu explained, “Fear is a natural human emotion.”
But Freya disagreed, “In this kind of war, how can anyone escape?”
“I think you should severely punish these kinds of people!”
Bai Yu was taken aback, “Uh…”
Honestly, if he didn’t have his cheat, he might not have had the courage.
This seemed to be talking about himself.
But there were no ifs, he was facing mortal danger now, yet he hadn’t flinched!
Thus, the car fell silent for a while.
Bai Yu glanced at Liu Ruoxi sitting beside him, her small hands gripping her tight-fitting combat suit.
Logically, wearing such clothes would reduce her attractiveness.
But instead, it accentuated her figure, like she was wearing leather, greatly increasing her allure.
‘What is Brother Bai Yu thinking again?’
‘Cough, cough, I was thinking that it’s so dangerous tonight, I have to take care of someone, it’s quite troublesome.’
‘Ew~ I don’t believe you.’
Then, Bai Yu blocked out Bai Ling’s muttering, glanced at Liu Ruoxi, and asked, “How many acupoints have you opened?”
“Besides the thirty-six basic acupoints, only four…”
Her tone clearly indicated that she felt she was too weak.
“That’s not bad! At least you’re considered to be in the Qi Gathering Realm now.”
“Thank you…”
Bai Yu didn’t understand the meaning, then thought about the cultivation technique and said, “Oh, oh, you’re welcome.”
After saying that, he fell silent.
He did glance at Freya opposite him, who blinked her big eyes, clearly with a hint of gossip. Bai Yu turned his head away.
He himself couldn’t say for sure.
In an ordinary city, with his current status, he would definitely be dating.
Now, he had the desire, but not the means!
It’s definitely not impotence.
It’s just that saving the world is more important!
Serious.jpg.
Departing at two in the afternoon, after about two hours.
After winding through various paths, they finally arrived at a valley.
This was roughly thirty to forty kilometers northwest of Tianhai City.
“All personnel, disembark!”
The commander was from the Guard Team, and it seemed to be under military-style control.
After everyone disembarked, they quickly noticed the fortresses built in the surrounding mountains.
And it seemed that many members were hidden here.
Everything seemed to be in preparation for the small lake in the valley.
Seeing this scene of being on high alert, Bai Yu took a deep breath.
The Netherworld, Undead, and Hell, the Three Realms united!
Even with his cheat, this won’t be easy.
