Changing 516: Exchange Room
Xiao Chen asked, “What are his odds of success?”
Bai Lixi replied with a sullen face, “It is hard to say. He had already reached peak Consummation half-step Martial Monarch a year ago. He is only short of opening his sea of consciousness. Once the sea of consciousness is formed, he would immediately become a Martial Monarch. Unfortunately, cultivating Mental Energy is extremely difficult. This bottleneck has trapped more than seventy percent of cultivators who reach this stage.”
Xiao Chen had always respected this senior bladesman, the b.l.o.o.d.y Bladesman Sun Guangquan. He was like a teacher and a friend to Xiao Chen.
Although their acquaintance was short, Sun Guangquan had provided Xiao Chen with a lot of help and pointers. Xiao Chen could only wish him good luck and hope that Sun Guangquan would surmount this hurdle.
Four days later, after rus.h.i.+ng at full speed, the two left the inner area of the Battlefield. The three outpost islets appeared before them.
Many cultivators were resting at the outpost islets before preparing to depart again.
Xiao Chen looked at the departing crowd and discovered many of them to be very strong. Furthermore, they were rather young as well. He felt it to be strange, so he asked, “Why does it seem like there are many new faces?”
Bai Lixi nodded and said, “Yeah, I found out about it two months ago. This time, the Divine Dragon Palace sent invitations to the other areas of the Boundless Sea.
“The n.o.ble clans from the Southern Boundless Sea, Northern Boundless Sea, and the Western Boundless Sea sent people over. Rumor has it that the Dragon King of the Divine Dragon Palace utilized favors from the old Dragon King to get these people here.”
Xiao Chen still felt suspicious. He said, “It is just a third grade Battlefield. Is the Divine Dragon Palace not powerful enough? All they have to do is to send some Martial Monarchs and annihilate the Demons.”
Bai Lixi laughed and said, “Brat, you are oversimplifying things.
“The Eastern Boundless Sea doesn’t have just one third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade Battlefields. They need their Martial Monarchs to guard them; otherwise, there will be chaos. As for the sixth grade Battlefield, it is a place where all four regions of the Boundless Sea stand watch. It is of utmost importance, so the Divine Dragon Palace has to send people as well.
“Furthermore, the borders between the Black Dragon Group’s and the Divine Dragon Palace’s territories are not very peaceful and need Martial Monarchs to guard them. Considering all this, even if the Divine Dragon Palace was stronger, do you think they’d have the manpower to spare?”
However, Xiao Chen’s frown still did not relax. He kept feeling that this third grade Battlefield was different. However, he had limited knowledge and could not rebut Bai Lixi’s words.
This time, the two intended to have a proper rest, so they did not stop at the outpost islets. Instead, they quickly headed for the huge Divine Dragon Wars.h.i.+p.
After another half a day, the city-sized Divine Dragon Wars.h.i.+p appeared before the two of them. They could not help but speed up. They wanted to board the huge Divine Dragon Wars.h.i.+p before night fell.
The huge wars.h.i.+p had a very large area comparable to that of a city. The plaza that Xiao Chen was in previously was just the tip of the iceberg.
Under Bai Lixi’s lead, Xiao Chen moved past building after building. There were restaurants, inns, smithies, and all sorts of other shops. It was no different from a regular city.
Bai Lixi pointed at a beautiful wooden building. He smiled and said, “This is the Spring Pavilion. It is also the place with the best business here.”
Xiao Chen looked over and discovered that it was indeed bustling and business was booming.
This popularity was not hard to understand after thinking about it. Cultivators who spent a long time fighting and killing would need a place for relaxation and venting themselves. Affairs of pa.s.sion were undoubtedly one of the best ways to vent.
After making seven or eight turns, Bai Lixi brought Xiao Chen to a vast palace. This place was even noisier and more crowded than the Spring Pavilion.
Bai Lixi said softly, “We have arrived. This place is the command center of this Battlefield. You can use your points here to exchange for all sorts of items. Let’s go in.”
The two followed the crowd in. There were not many extravagant decorations in the big palace; it looked very simple.
A glowing jade wall stood in the center of the hall. Many people were standing in front of the jade wall and discussing in hushed voices.
“The Southern Sea’s Four Heroes live up to their reputation. They already made it into the top twenty after being here for two months.”
“The Western Sea’s Seven Knights and the Northern Sea’s Four Young Masters are pretty strong as well. They also managed to get into the top twenty. In fact, these people are all in the top twenty spots.”
“These are the young experts of the Boundless Sea. They have partic.i.p.ated in several Battlefields already and they all had exceptional results.”
“There are also experts from other places as well. There is Bai Zhan from the Great Jin Nation’s Evil Moon Pavilion. He is very powerful. He has ranked within the top three and never fallen below that.”
“Ha ha! You are also aware that he is from the Great Jin Nation. How can he not be strong? At such a young age, he is already a Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarch. His Raging Frost Flame Palm is very pure and fiery. It is very frightening.”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he could not be help but stunned. He asked Bai Lixi beside him, “What is that? Everyone seems to be very excited over it.”
Bai Lixi felt rather pleased when he replied, “That is the points ranking wall. The jade wall is a formation that is linked to our jade pendants. As long as you’ve acc.u.mulated some points, they will immediately be reflected on this wall.”
