Chapter 203 An absolutely forbidden place!

318 barriers.

Lieutenant's quarters.

Colonel Xiao solemnly handed a brocade box to Jiang Chen with an apology on his face.

"Sorry, the 318 barrier is seriously damaged, so your award ceremony can only be simplified."

"It's okay, the overall situation is more important."

Jiang Chen shook his head repeatedly, took the brocade box with both hands, looked at the epaulettes representing lieutenants inside, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

Although his main purpose for collecting merit was to get a discount, he was still a little excited to obtain the rank of captain.

"It's good that you can understand."

Colonel Xiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The barrier will be very busy next, and you may also be assigned some tasks, Jiang Chen, so take a rest these days."

"It will take some time to calculate the merits of participating in this war, but your [-] merits can be exchanged for a lot of resources. I am looking forward to your performance in the future."

"I am looking forward too."

Jiang Chen grinned, "Twenty thousand merits, including the captain's [-]% discount, can definitely buy a lot of resources."

"I still have things to deal with, so I need to take the first step."

Colonel Xiao looked at the time and left quickly, while Jiang Chen was also full of expectations and was ready to exchange his resources.

But before he could leave the dormitory, he saw Cao Xiong walking out of the corner.

"Teacher Cao? Why are you here?"

Seeing Cao Xiong walking towards him, Jiang Chen quickly saluted and said, "Teacher Cao, are you feeling well?"

"Can't die."

Cao Xiong shook his head and said, "Do you have time to chat?"

"Of course there is."

Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly. Although he said that he was looking forward to the resource collection of 318 Barrier, he was also quite interested in Cao Xiong's experience.

Jiang Chen brought Cao Xiong to the living room, made a cup of tea, then sat down and asked, "Teacher Cao, do you want to see me for anything?"

"The main reason I came here this time is to ask you something."

Cao Xiong looked up at Jiang Chen and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

"Disciple? Me?"

Jiang Chen was stunned. He originally thought that Cao Xiong was here to talk about things related to the wilderness, but he actually came to accept him as his disciple. This was really beyond his expectation.

"Yes, it's you."

Cao Xiong nodded and said: "Although the Federation is becoming stronger and stronger, it still lacks top combat power and must inject fresh blood."

"So, Teacher Cao, you chose me?"

Jiang Chen pointed at himself. Cao Xiong had more confidence in him than he did as the top combat power in the federation.

You must know that in the 300 years of the Dawn Calendar, only four solar creatures have been born in the Federation. This is still supported by the massive resources of the four major consortiums. How could he, an ordinary person, do it?

At least he couldn't do it without exposing his golden fingers.

"That's right, your main pet, the Golden Glider, is somewhat similar to my Yanyan Spirit Ape in terms of training methods. If you train it well, you will have a greater chance of being promoted to Sunlight than the Yanyan Spirit Ape."

Cao Xiong said: "But your cultivation of pet spirits and combat are far behind. Although you rely on talent to cover it up, when you get to the top you will find that talent is just the foundation."

"I see."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. Perhaps in the eyes of Cao Xiong and others, he was very talented, but only he knew that he really relied on the farm to achieve what he has achieved today.

And even with the help of the farm, there are still people around him who are stronger than him.

For example, Baili Honglian, such as Xiao Yan, such as Baili Wudi...

These people are not much older than him, especially Baili Wudi and Baili Honglian. They are obviously not children of the family, but they can achieve such achievements.

These two people are geniuses in the true sense.

"I know what you are thinking. The Baili brothers and sisters are in a special situation. Children from other families have enjoyed extraordinary resources since they were young, so you don't need to belittle yourself."

Cao Xiong saw through Jiang Chen's thoughts at a glance and asked solemnly: "So, are you willing to be my disciple?"

Hearing Cao Xiong's question again, Jiang Chen also restrained his thoughts and made a decision after careful consideration.

"I do, teacher."

After all, he was born in a wild family, and even if he cheated, it would be difficult to fill the gap between him and the children of the big family.

The experience of the past few days also let him know that with his current strength, he cannot move freely in the wilderness, and he must obtain stronger strength.

Cao Xiong had shown such combat prowess before, and it could be known from Xiao Yan's words that Cao Xiong was still close to becoming an S-class envoy.

Such a strong man took the initiative to recruit a disciple. If Jiang Chen refused again, he would really be a bit ungrateful.

"very good."

There was a look of relief on Cao Xiong's face, and he was about to say something more when a flush suddenly appeared on his pale face, and then he coughed violently.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward and asked nervously.

"It's okay. It took too long to summon the Yanyan Spirit Ape this time. Just rest for a while."

Cao Xiong waved his hand and vaguely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I have violated the oath of the Judgment Balance before. I cannot summon the Yanyan Spirit Ape until the backlash is over." "The oath of the Judgment Balance? Teacher, who did you make a deal with?"

The shadow of the dark golden wolf-headed man could not help but appear in Jiang Chen's mind, and he asked quickly.

"Your senses are sharp."

Cao Xiong glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise and said, "I did make a deal, but not with anyone, but with Tianping itself."

With that said, Cao Xiong took out the Judgment Scale and said: "As the owner of the Judgment Scale, I can use the oath to do things that I can't usually do, but I also need to pay a price."

"Unfortunately, I failed to pay the price in time, so I suffered the blowback from the scale."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen seemed to have thought of something.

"Teacher, are you talking about your accident three years ago?"

Cao Xiong nodded slightly and said, "Indeed."

"Three years ago, Thunder Breaker Doujia broke into Tianqi territory alone. Although Jiuyao Golden Crow could stop him, it could not stop him from destroying the barrier."

"In order to ensure that the barrier is not destroyed, I used the power of the scale to let the Yanyan Spirit Ape attack Sun Yao in advance."

"However, I underestimated the power of the Thunder Breaker Armor. Although we worked together to seriously injure it, we were counterattacked and its evolution was interrupted."

Speaking of this, Cao Xiong started coughing again.

Withdrawing power in advance, why does the ability of the Judgment Scale sound like the Golden Bowl?
However, it seems that the price to be paid for the scale of judgment seems to be terrifying. Compared with this, the price of only 20 gold coins is simply a free gift!
You have to tell Fa Cai about this later, and Fa Cai will definitely be in a good mood.

But just one violation of the oath had such a huge backlash. If the teacher threatened Breaking Thunder Armor before, could it be...

"Teacher, can you still use that kind of power now? Just attack the Sun Yao in advance or something like that."

"No."

Jiang Chen understood what he said and had a new impression of his fresh teacher.

The teacher looks serious, but he can also lie!

Oh no, it’s a deception from evil spirits!

"The abilities of the numbered Noble Phantasms are very strong, and you will be exposed to more in the future, but some of them are special, and you need to pay a price for using them."

Cao Xiong looked at the Judgment Scale in his hand and said: "Although the number of numbered Noble Phantasms in the Federation is also increasing, the most powerful among them are still those numbered in the top twelve."

"After all, these 12 treasures come from the twelve most mysterious places."

"The most mysterious place? Could it be a forbidden place?"

Jiang Chen quickly realized that the only place he knew where such a powerful treasure could be born was the Forbidden Land.

"Yes, it is a forbidden place, but it is not an ordinary forbidden place."

Cao Xiong let go of the scale of judgment and let it float in the air.

"The number of forbidden places has always been a mystery, and the Federation has never stopped investigating and researching them."

"And in the Forbidden Land, there are twelve extremely special beings."

"These twelve forbidden places were born at different times, but they are all extremely dangerous. Even if a solar creature enters, they may not be able to come out alive."

"After countless verifications, the Federation has turned these twelve taboo places into absolute taboos."

"Absolutely taboo..."

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin and suddenly said: "But teacher, you have gone in before and come out, right?"

"You are really smart."

Cao Xiong showed a pleased smile and said: "Yes, I did go in, and I also got the scale of judgment from inside."

With that said, Cao Xiong pointed to the Judgment Scale and said: "The Judgment Scale comes from the forbidden place #008 [Weiyang]. It was with the help of the Judgment Scale that I was able to leave there."

"Weiyang?"

"Ah."

Cao Xiong said: "In order to distinguish these twelve forbidden places, the Federation uses the Twelve Heavenly Stems as their code names to facilitate the distinction."

"But you won't be able to encounter these twelve absolutely forbidden places for the time being, so you just need to know about them."

Cao Xiong put away the scale of judgment and said: "Although the power of the scale of judgment is very strong, if possible, I don't want you to come into contact with it."

"At least not now."

"I see."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. If a treasure of this level fell into his hands, it would not necessarily be a help, but it might become a disaster.

However, when the teacher said this, he was still quite interested deep down.

Twelve numbered Noble Phantasms and twelve absolute taboos, this sounds quite tempting.

"However, the Noble Phantasm is indeed very helpful in fighting and cultivating pets. This is also the biggest gap between you and the children of the four major families."

Cao Xiong was not surprised to see Jiang Chen like this. He then took out a pair of scissors from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"This is Noble Phantasm No. 46, Silhouette. It can cut the shadow of extraordinary creatures and summon a shadow guard with half the power to help you fight."

"But the Shadow Guard's existence is very short, and it cannot be hit too hard, so you'd better save it for the critical moment."

Hearing Cao Xiong's words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but froze on the spot.

"Teacher, do you want to give this to me?"
