Chapter Seven Hundred and Forty Nine – Starting From the Beginning
Zuo Mo had desired Hundred Energy Jie since discovering the shen crystals.
In these past years, Zuo Mo had continued to send in spies to find the general location of the shen crystal mine. However, the shen crystal veins were hidden well and hard to quietly extract. Also, it was blocked off by a layer of fragmented star metal. This was also why the shen crystals hadn’t been found and harvested by others after many years.
Hundred Energy Jie was under the rule of the Mo Marshal Alliance. If he wanted to extract these shen crystals, there was only one way, take Hundred Energy Jie.
The Mo Marshal Alliance had developed rapidly in the recent years. The mo marshals, led by Marshal Di, were wealthy to start with. Each person that could reach marshal level was a strong individual. Ever since they watched the battle between Zuo Mo and the yao elders, they had a new understanding of shen power.
Most of them chose to go into seclusion to cultivate and create a shen power that belonged to their clan.
The mo were varied with subtypes and each clan possessed their unique bloodline. Unlike the shen power of the Mo Shen Temple, the Mo Marshal Alliance focused on upgrading their bloodline, using the mo physique as a base to obtain shen power.
This shen power cultivation method quickly became the mainstream for the mo territories. Its greatest advantage was that it could express the power of the mo physique and one did not need to restart their cultivation from the beginning. The Heroes Alliance also chose to use this cultivation method.
Because of the differences in mo physique, the shen methodologies they each used were different. Each family knew that shen methodologies were crucially important to their clan’s future, and gathered all of their strength to overcome this obstacle.
This kind of shen power was called mo shen power.
The Mo Shen Temple who was advanced in shen power actually became the exception. This, however, did not affect the status of the Mo Shen Temple. The three great mo gods were unstoppable in the recent years, their territory expanding rapidly to become the strongest faction in Hundred Savage Realm.
The strong Mo Marshal Alliance did not cause them to feel fear. Once Zuo Mo determined the target, the battle generals, led by Gongsun Cha and Bie Han, started to move.
A plan around the goal of taking over Hundred Energy Jie secretly took form.

Pu Pu’s Home For Battle Generals had some fame among the yao battle generals. The students performed outstandingly in war chess, even defeating several of the military battle generals in succession which had caused its fame to rise.
However, not many people cared. Even the active battle generals that had been defeated did not think too much of the defeat. No matter how realistic war chess was, there were still great differences between war chess and true battle. It was not strange for a battle general strong in war chess to be terrible in real combat.
There were also many loose organizations like this among the yao. The members that Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals took in were those battle generals who were not very strong. These people had average marks in the yao art houses, some of them just barely managing to pass.
Students like this usually had a hard time entering a battalion. If one did not have a strong background, they would need great talent to enter a battalion.
Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals were relaxed in their management of their members. It was easy to enter, and effortless to leave. Naturally, no one would pay attention to an organization like this.
The most famous member of Pu Pu’s Home For Battle Generals was Liang Wei.
But no battalion had thrown a olive branch out to this disgraced battle general. The one who had relieved him of command was Corp Command An Shi. Someone who had real power in the military and his experience among all of the yao was at the top. His background was strong, and no one was willing to risk offending Corp Commander An Shi to recruit Liang Wei into their command.
Liang Wei also liked to fight and had a wild personality. He looked like a troublemaker, and there were rarely people who wanted a troublemaker under their command.
Liang Wei had been idle at home for seven years, and no battalion had made any offer for him.
The laughter and taunts against Liang Wei grew in more unrestrained. The reputation that Pu Pu’s Home For Battle Generals had among the battle general circle of being the “Failure Camp” grew and solidified.
The battle generals that thought themselves strong disdained this place. Ever since some active battle generals were defeated, no one liked to come here. There was nothing worthy of praise if they won, but if they lost, their comrades would laugh at them for a long time.
Affected, many irresolute students left. The students left were all those that were not affected by the rumors outside.
Compared to the mockery outside, the students inside Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals were unusually quiet.
These students, for the most part, had studied for more than three years at Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals.
The great majority of them had their own jobs, and would only have the time to come at night. If they could not enter a battalion, then it was not easy for battle general students to find work.
What interested them the most was the simulation match each week.
Even now, they did not know the identity of Pu Pu’s Home for Battle Generals’ founder. However, they could clearly feel that the other was strong.
This kind of feeling was especially strong during the simulation match. When this time came, Pu Pu would personally come.
The simulation chess was even more realistic than war chess. Every student who attended the simulation chess match for the first time was astonished but they would be quickly sucked in.
The strange and variable tactical style and the unfathomable power of the person called Pu Pu made them feel hopeless each time. Every week, the hottest topic of discussion was how long someone could survive against Pu Pu’s hand.
The record holder had always been Liang Wei.
Today was the same as usual. Liang Wei still struggled to endure under the other’s barrage of attacks. Even though he was already used to the strength of the opponent, but every match, that unstoppable pressure made him feel suffocated.
The only thing comforting was that he had started to be able to tolerate this feeling of suffocation.
Complete defeat!
He panted furiously and was soaked in sweat. He looked at the time and was slightly happy. Compared to last time, he had survived a half hour longer than before.
He was preparing to leave the simulation chess like usual when Pu Pu, standing on the opposite side, suddenly spoke.
