Chapter 690: Little Pretty Boy, Are You New Here?



Zhangsun Lie interrupted, “I asked you what the Blood Kill King means!”

Lu Wenting’s face scrunched up, looking stressed. “General, please don’t make things difficult for me. The Blood Kill King is as unfathomable as the ocean. I can’t possibly fathom what’s on his mind.”

Zhangsun Lie’s frown deepened. He slammed the desk and muttered, “Damn it, he said to not give him special treatment, but who would dare to do that?! The old bastard Blood Kill King is so irritating! He ended the letter with one sentence and gave me a huge headache!”

Old bastard…

Lu Wenting’s eyes widened. Only the General would dare call him an old bastard.

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

“General, in my opinion, the kid must have something special about him since the Blood Kill King sent him to the Blood Kill Battlefield alone. Since the Blood Kill King has told us to treat him fairly, then we should just do as we’re told.”

Lu Wenting chose his words carefully, “Of course, but even if we don’t give the kid any special treatment, we still need to keep him safe when necessary. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to explain to him in the future.”

Zhangsun Lie rubbed his temple and sighed, “That’s all we can do. That old bastard left the Blood Kill Battlefield a few years ago, but now he just tossed a little kid here for us to take care of and made things difficult for us. This is so ridiculous!”

As he fumed, he thought of something, “Have you asked the kid why he wanted to come to the Blood Kill Battlefield?”

Lu Wenting shook his head, saying helplessly, “I was so shocked that my mind went blank. How would I have thought about asking that? How about I ask him in detail tomorrow?”

Zhangsun Lie thought for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively. “Forget it, don’t ask him. As long as he doesn’t cause any great trouble in the Blood Kill Battlefield, I can just turn a blind eye. Every day I am busy thinking about how to defeat the kings of the Magi Brute Race. I don’t have time for that kid.”

Lu Wenting nodded. Indeed, it would be difficult for the top general in charge of the entire army camp to have the energy to pay attention to a youngster.

“Of course, you have to keep an eye on him. He can have an accident, he can die, but not on my territory!” added Zhangsun Lie.

His words might seem harsh, but Lu Wenting knew that Zhangsun Lie was concerned about Lin Xun’s safety because of the confidential letter from the Blood Kill King.

Lu Wenting couldn’t help muttering, “The kid is quite a headache. There are eight other camps on the Blood Kill Battlefield. Why did he come to our camp...It would be great if we could send him to other army camps. Then we won’t need to be so troubled and stressed…”

“Huh?” Zhangsun Lie’s eyes lit up like a torch. “Send him away? That works! But let’s observe for a while longer. As long as the little youngster doesn’t cause any trouble, I can tolerate him.”

Lu Wenting smiled understandingly. “General, you’re right. It’s good if he doesn’t cause any trouble but if he does, we can just pass the trouble to the generals of other camps.”

“Who told you to speak?” Zhangsun Lie shot a glare at him, but in the end, he couldn’t help from laughing.

……

Lin Xun was still unaware that his sudden arrival had caused a headache to both the top general and the quartermaster.

He was still chatting with Old Huang.

Even though it was late at night, the Blood Blade Tavern was much busier and more lively than before. Many fierce cultivators from the empire had gathered in the tavern, drinking and chatting with each other.

Old Huang’s face and nose were flushed from drinking too much, and his vision started to blur. Lin Xun had ordered three jars of wine, but most of them were now in Old Huang’s stomach.

“Lord, did you know that I have fought on the Blood Kill Battlefield for five years? Five years! My comrades changed one after another. There are some familiar faces and some unfamiliar…now, even I am starting to forget whom I am supposed to remember.”

“Other people say that I am really tough and that it is a miracle that I haven’t died after five years, but only I know that I am afraid of death. So every time I fight, I do everything I can to not die. This is why I am still alive…”

“But living like this is so painful! My first thought when I wake up every day is how to survive today! Who the hell would care about the future?”

“Ahh, it can’t be helped. This is the Blood Kill Camp! Death happens all the time, and one day, I...I...also will…” Old Huang’s voice faded as he hit his head on the table and lay there in a drunken sleep.

Lin Xun sat, drinking alone, his expression incredibly calm. He thought of the sentence that Zhao Tailai had repeatedly told him.

“Remember, survive!”

Zhao Tailai wore the most serious expression he had ever seen at the time.

“Survive…” Lin Xun murmured, looking at Old Huang and the empire cultivators drinking to their heart’s content in the tavern.

After a moment of silence, he gulped down the jar of wine in one go.

Old Huang was a powerful and fierce Heaven Ascension Stage cultivator, but in his drunken state, he looked so helpless and in pain.

It made Lin Xun realize that life in the Blood Kill Battlefield was far more cruel and terrifying than he imagined.

……

Deep in the night.

Just when Lin Xun returned to his residence and was about to open the door, he heard a sorrowful cry.

In the distance, a figure was kneeling in front of a stone house, muttering to herself in a restrained wailing voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing other people.

“Big Brother, I will avenge you. If I don’t kill all the bastards of the Magi Brute Race, then I will never leave the Blood Kill Battlefield in my life!”

It was a woman with short hair and a healthy and fit figure, but her fierce eyes were red and filled with heart-wrenching sadness.

“What are you looking at? I’m going to gouge your eyes out if you look again!” The woman stormed up when she sensed Lin Xun’s gaze and her demeanor completely changed, becoming fierce and threatening.

Lin Xun didn’t get angry, but just said, “Please accept my condolences for your loss.” Then he opened the door and walked into his residence.

The woman stood still in the darkness, clearly taken aback. Then, she snorted, turned around and left.

……

The next morning.

Before dawn, Lin Xun woke up from his meditation.

“I used up forty-nine high-grade aeth crystals in one training session. If it continues like this, even if there is an opportunity to break through, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

He frowned.

Beside him was a pile of sparkling crystal-like powder. It was the remains of the aeth crystal he had used up in one night of training.

In the past, he wouldn’t mind the huge consumption.

But in the Blood Kill Battlefield, where aeth power was limited, he had no choice but to put more attention on how to earn and conserve aeth crystals.

The most troublesome thing for him was that he had reached the perfect intermediate Heaven Ascension Stage and was only one step away from breaking through into the upper Heaven Ascension Stage.

However, he knew that one step would be more difficult than ascending the sky with a limited amount of high-grade aeth crystals.

“Never mind, I should use this period to hone my cultivation of arts and spirit power. I can think about my breakthrough after I earn enough aeth crystals in the future.” He drew a deep breath and made a decision

In terms of his spirit cultivation, he had already reached the Moon Phases Stage, the second stage of the Little Divine Meditation Art, but there was still a long way to go before breaking through to the next level.

Since he lacked spirit power, it might be a good idea to concentrate on cultivating spirit power.

In terms of his cultivation arts practice, he still hadn’t fully mastered some secret techniques.

For example, he had only mastered four transformations of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations—the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, Bixi Collision, Bi’an Stamp and the Baxia Imprisonment.

He had yet to comprehend or grasp the other five transformations.

Additionally, although he had fully mastered Star-Gather, Moon Catch and Burning Sun of the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art, he knew that those were only the first half of the secret blade art.

In other words, there were more powerful moves in the second part of the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art!

Unfortunately, he only obtained the first part of the blade art in the Omega Secret Realm, and he had no idea when he would get his hands on the second part.

Just like the Heavenly Yuan Art, he also had only comprehended the first part of the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture, which recorded the cultivation methods of the five great cultivation stages from the True Martial Stage to the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

He speculated that the next part of the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture had to contain the supreme cultivation methods of the Life Death King Stage!

Unfortunately, he was also missing the second part of the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture.

“When the Dao Ripple of Water breakthroughs to become the Dao Meaning of Water, I can enter the Omega Secret Realm again. I hope I can obtain the second part of both the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art and the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture then…” he muttered.

He could only hope because the Omega Secret Realm was too mysterious. He was now an absolute apex king of the Heaven Ascension Stage. He was no longer a child who knew nothing like before.

But the more he found out more about the Omega Secret Realm, the more he realized its mysteriousness.

At least, he had never heard that a treasure in the world could possess such a mysterious and remarkable purpose as the Omega Secret Realm. It could be called a heaven-defying existence!

As he pushed open the door, he saw the strong and savage-looking woman he met last night coming his way from afar coincidentally.

He gave her an acknowledging nod out of politeness and was about to leave when the woman came over and blocked his path.

She was tanned with sharp features and a chiseled jawline. She exuded a fierce and savage beauty.

Her narrowed eyes glowed strangely as she stared at Lin Xun. Then, she suddenly stretched out her slender finger and tilted up Lin Xun’s chin. “Little pretty boy, you must be new here! Well, my name is A\'bi, I have your back from now on. If you have any troubles, feel free to use my name.” She turned around and strode away, her steps swift but strong. Her short, chestnut hair fluttering in the morning breeze added a unique charm to her.
