Liu Chuan and Wang Meng were still third-year students, so they naturally didn’t have cars. Thus, the two of them hailed a taxi at the entrance of the neighborhood and rushed to the dimensional zone.

“You are also heading to the dimensional zone, right? There are quite a number of people there today. You are the second batch of people I’ve picked up this morning.”

As soon as they got into the taxi and reported their destination, the driver spoke to them.

“That’s right, Big Brother. It’s the weekend today, and we’re third-year high school students. We’re going to see the world in preparation for the future martial arts exam,” Wang Meng added.

“Are you taking the martial arts exam? You have ambition. There aren’t many martial artists in Ping An County. If you become a martial artist in the future, you will be successful.”

“Of course, Big Brother. Look at my physique. Do you know who I am?”

Wang Meng showed off his biceps as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Liu Chuan didn’t say anything. He watched Wang Meng and the driver chatting, his mind still trying to figure out if the system had any other functions.

“We’re here. No cars are allowed to enter from here on. You two just need to make a turn to reach your destination.”

“Alright. Thank you, Uncle.”

The two of them paid the fare and got out of the car after thanking him. They then walked towards the direction that the driver had indicated.

Indeed, after taking a few steps, they saw the place the driver mentioned. There were already many people gathered in front of them. It was likely where the dimensional zone was located.

Although it was only a low-leveled dimensional zone, there were still many soldiers, who were dressed in the uniform of the Federation army, maintaining order. At the same time, they were warning the adventurers who wanted to enter to take note of certain things.

The two of them followed the crowd and queued up. As the entry procedures were not complicated, it was soon their turn.

This dimensional zone was actually an ancient city. This ancient city was originally in Ping An County, and it was usually a pretty good tourist spot. However, the descent of the dimensional zone had caused the ancient city to transform.

This place was the Soul Residence.

Only now did Liu Chuan learn the name of the dimensional zone.

The city gate was already wide open. However, at a glance, it was as if there was a layer of fog in the city gate, making it impossible to see what was inside.

“I say, Little Chuan, this name doesn’t look like a low-leveled dimensional zone. Could there be ghosts inside?”

When Wang Meng saw the name of the ancient city, his heart trembled.

“Can’t you see that the Federation has allowed commoners to enter? What are you afraid of? Aren’t you a fierce man? Can’t you handle this?”

When Liu Chuan saw Wang Meng’s expression, he found it a little funny, so he laughed and teased him.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m just worried about you. With your small body, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to hold on if you encounter any danger.” Wang Meng was immediately unconvinced and said to Liu Chuan.

“Alright, let’s go. There’s still a queue behind.”

Liu Chuan looked at the crowd behind him and stopped chatting. Then, he walked towards the entrance.

Wang Meng didn’t say anything else and followed Liu Chuan inside.

When they passed through the fog, both of them felt a strong sense of dizziness as an indescribable discomfort that engulfed their bodies. Fortunately, they passed through the fog not long after, and the scene before them gradually became clearer.

Stone slabs were laid along the streets of the ancient city, but they were covered in moss.

Meanwhile, the streets were a little dark. Red lanterns hung on both sides of the streets, giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.

“Damn, Little Chuan, I finally know why this place is called the Soul Residence. I would even believe it if this place was called Hell.” Wang Meng was a little shocked when he saw the scene before him.

“What are you shouting for? Can’t you see that there are so many people in front? Don’t panic. Let’s go and take a look.”

As Liu Chuan spoke, he quickly walked forward.
