Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Just as Lin Mu was pondering, a massive announcement from the China region was released.

Lin Mu immediately opened the attribute panel and, sure enough, found a new feature. He quickly examined it and discovered that the [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Martial Arts Arena] was an arena!
"Strange... why is the entry cost a question mark? Is it not yet complete?" Lin Mu wondered after reading it.

The information in the properties panel is of no value to him in his current situation. The system also doesn't clearly explain the purpose of selecting the area.

However, Lu Bu's appearance nearby suggests that the area may have a special function or be very important.

Lu Bu's expression changed slightly as he teleported away from the [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Arena].

Just now, he received the voice of Heaven: the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena] was open to extraordinary individuals!

“Spirit of the Southern Dipper Constellation, didn’t you say this was my training ground? How come it’s open to outsiders?” Lu Bu thought to himself with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, he hated Lin Mu intensely, and by extension, he hated all the other people.

"Oh no... Heaven has intervened. The [Seven Killings of the Southern Dipper Arena] was originally damaged. But Fang Yue and Mu Shun, whom you killed, and Pan Feng, whom Hua Xiong killed, were all epic-level historical generals. After absorbing their souls and the blessings of heaven and earth, they exceeded the conditions for revival. In addition, it may be due to Lin Mu's influence, which has made the revival of the [Seven Killings of the Southern Dipper Arena] more complete. Therefore, it has been opened to extraordinary people." A mysterious voice sounded in Lu Bu's mind.

"Damn it!!!" Lu Bu felt a dull pain in his chest as soon as he heard the name Lin Mu.

The opportunity presented by the "Seven Killings of the Southern Dipper Martial Arts Arena" is actually somewhat related to Lin Mu. It was something he obtained after accompanying Lin Mu to the outer realms.

At the time, I thought Lin Mu was so confident because he had the blessing of the Heavenly Dao. I never expected that Lin Mu was really that strong on his own!

"Huh... Fang Yue's spirit and Mu Shun's spirit have been transformed ahead of schedule!" Just then, that voice rang out again.

“Um… Just now, next to you, Lin Mu selected an area. He actually had a [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Martial Arts Arena Teleportation Jade Talisman] in his hand. Although it is not as good as the [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Martial Arts Arena Token] in your hand, it still has some permissions.”

"It's Lin Mu again!!!" Lu Bu was so angry he was gritting his teeth.

"You set the entry fee for the [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Martial Arts Arena]." Just then, a voice of the Heavenly Dao rang in Lu Bu's ears.

"I'll set it up?" Lu Bu was taken aback.

"50 reputation points at most... that's the highest I can go," Lu Bu said resentfully.

At this moment, Lü Bu was just as furious as Liu Bei.

"You will receive 10 reputation points for each time an outsider enters." At this moment, the voice of recognition sounded again.

"Hiss... I get 10 reputation points for every superhuman who comes in. If tens of millions of superhumans come in, wouldn't you have 10 billion reputation points?!"

"This is just once. If a strange person comes in several times a day, the harvest will be enormous!!" Lu Bu was a little excited at this moment.

Finally, some good news!
"You can also set other costs. If you're short of money, you can have the supernatural beings spend money to come in." The mysterious voice echoed in Lu Bu's mind.

"Hmm... that's actually acceptable, 500 copper coins at most... then let's go with the highest price." Lu Bu set another price.

Money is both a foundation and a resource; training soldiers requires a lot of money.

“50 reputation points are equal to 500 copper coins? Heh…” Lu Bu chuckled.

The arithmetic of the Heavenly Way may have been taught by savages.

At this moment, Lu Bu's attitude towards opening the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Arena] has undergone a 360-degree change.

He wished that every superhuman could enter the [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Martial Arts Arena] a hundred times a day!

"You've completed the current task. Now, let's fulfill the conditions for becoming the Lord of a Province. The Purple Dragon Token is extremely valuable." The mysterious figure echoed in Lu Bu's mind.

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu no longer hated Lin Mu, and the anger in his heart vanished.

"Being the ruler of a province isn't something that can be accomplished simply by becoming the governor. One also needs to completely control the military, economy, and politics of the entire province, and even the humanitarian power needs to meet a certain threshold. It's very difficult," Lu Bu sighed inwardly.

He was a rough, uncultured man, and the thought of those conditions gave him a headache. "You have many capable generals around you, but you lack strategists. You need to work on that," the mysterious voice reminded him.

"Strategist... Zishun counts as one..."

“The others… Li Ru… seems to be all…” Lu Bu muttered to himself.

After a moment of silence, Lü Bu looked up at the inner city of Hulao Pass. He sensed a group of soldiers from the Guandong Allied Army rushing in. However, he ignored them. Hulao Pass had almost cost him his life; it was a dangerous place, and he had to run.

Moreover, since his adoptive father Dong Zhuo and others had all fled, he wouldn't be criticized for escaping.

Without hesitation, Lü Bu took out a teleportation scroll and disappeared in a flash of white light.

The all-powerful general Lü Bu thus slunk away from Hulao Pass.

No one noticed that Lu Bu, who lost in this duel, was not punished by Heaven, nor was Dong Zhuo, who returned to the capital, punished!

……

As Lu Bu left, two beams of white light appeared before Lin Mu, who had selected the area.

After the white light disappeared, two familiar figures appeared:
Fang Yue!!! Mu Shun!!!
"You...you're not dead?!" Lin Mu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that there was such a hidden story behind Lu Bu's killing of Fang Yue and Mu Shun.

No wonder there was no announcement about the two being killed...

Were Yu She, General Pan Feng, and others also not dead before?
"General Lin Mu, what difference does it make whether you're dead or alive..." Fang Yue said with a bitter smile.

The fact that they could answer and showed emotion indicates that they were not the kind of confused spirits.

After a conversation, Lin Mu learned many secrets about this place.

"Fighting you guys can yield special rewards... Not bad, not bad..."

"It's a pretty good training ground..."

After learning about it, Lin Mu teleported away from the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena].

Just as he stepped out of the Nan Dou Qi Sha Martial Arts Arena, another system notification sounded in his ear.

"--Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your use of [Great Wilderness Mandate] against the Heavenly General and the Heavenly Dragon Lord violates the rules of Heaven and Earth. However, due to the blessing of a special state, you will not have to bear the heavy karmic burden this time."

Upon hearing this system notification, Lin Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Is it really impossible to use the Great Wilderness Mandate to deal with the Heavenly Generals who possess abundant humanistic power?!"

Sure enough, he knew it would happen!

If there were truly no restrictions, he could have simply invoked the Mandate of Heaven to kill all the feudal lords at the alliance meeting, plundered their fortune, and then gone after Dong Zhuo, wouldn't that have meant slaughtering everyone across the entire land...?

Heaven will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!

In fact, if the goal is simply to cultivate an emperor, wouldn't it be better for Heaven to simply allocate all resources to a certain lord, making him invincible throughout the land?
There must be a reason why Heaven doesn't do this.

What it wants is competition, so that the feudal lords can improve the overall foundation of China through competition.

If we raise a bunch of hothouse flowers, how will they fight against the terrifying wolves and tigers outside?
Although the methods such as the Great Wilderness Mandate do not explicitly state that they cannot be used against feudal lords and generals blessed by Heaven, he had a gut feeling that they should not be used on them casually.

Now that you've used it, the punishment is coming!

Fortunately, it was within a special storyline; otherwise, the karmic consequences would have been even heavier! (End of Chapter)
