Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"There are no array patterns covering this area! Let's quickly enter the great array!" a boy shouted, and ran towards the Blood Sea Soul Locking Array!

The moment he touched the boundary of the array's runes, a flash of red light instantly repelled him...

The others who had followed him stopped in their tracks.

A girl from Chenyang City also spoke up: "Chu Yuan, what are you doing?"

Chu Yuan didn't bother with any more words. His voice, imbued with spiritual energy, surged out and reverberated throughout the entire stone platform!

"If you want to join the ranks and receive protection, you can!"

But everyone must surrender 30% of their life essence; those who are willing, take a step forward.

If you don't accept it, then go do whatever you want!

"The origin of life?" The girl paused for a moment. Although she could understand the name immediately, but...

"How do you mean to exchange this 'source of life'? Do you need 30% of our blood?"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "No, I naturally have a way to obtain it."

"Then... what impact will losing 30% of our life essence have on us?" someone asked, adding that there's still the college entrance exam after the secret realm ends!

If their foundation is damaged, affecting their performance in the college entrance examination... it may cause them to waste several years of their potential.

"It will weaken you for a while and slightly damage your foundation;"

However, if there are valuable tonics available, it can still be replenished.

"Chu Yuan! Aren't you taking advantage of the chaos?!" someone exclaimed.

Precious supplements? It's easy to say, but how many people can afford them?

A damaged foundation will further affect their future...

"Chu Yuan, I heard that you are also a martial artist from a commoner background;

"We're all the same, why make things difficult for us?" the girl who had spoken earlier said earnestly.

Chu Yuan was somewhat puzzled: "How did I make things difficult for you?"

"Aren't you ruining our future by taking away our very essence?"

"Then your future is really quite fragile..." Chu Yuan shook his head: "Those who are unwilling are free to leave;

I have never forced you.

"Chu Yuan! You can't do this. This stone platform belongs to everyone. What right do you have to take it over?"

Xiang Ning, I know you're a reasonable person. Are you just going to stand by and watch Chu Yuan act recklessly?!

"..." Xiang Ning walked into the formation expressionlessly: "Didn't Tian Tian invite many of you to collect materials before?"

I heard that many people rejected her?

"That's different! If she had said earlier that it was to set up an array to defend against the blood beasts..."

Tian Tian, ​​standing in the middle of the formation, couldn't help but speak up: "I already said it was to defend against the blood beasts!"

"You didn't say the blood beasts were this strong! If I had known they were this strong..."

"If only I had known..."

"I should have let you know everything sooner." Xiang Ning shook her head and ignored him.

He also understood that even if Tian Tian had told them the truth from the beginning, many people wouldn't have believed her.

They are only willing to believe what aligns with their own judgment, and only willing to invest in things that are already certain, which means... they are only willing to give something if they can see a substantial return.

Even if it's just some hard work...

Chu Yuan glanced at Xiang Ning with some surprise: "I thought you would speak up for them."

Xiang Ning was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Chu Yuan, most people in this world are selfish and foolish."

But that doesn't mean they should die...

If the upper echelons of the Qin Dynasty shared your views, the human race would have been wiped out long ago, with only a few powerful individuals remaining.

Perhaps, you would never have been born...

I understand your principle of "fair trade," and it certainly feels good to do things that way.

But I must remind you, have you ever considered whether all those in higher positions are truly selfless and altruistic?

Chu Yuan nodded: "Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs. The level you are talking about is still very far away for me right now."

And... they don't represent 'the majority'.

To the "most people" you speak of, they are the future, high-ranking warriors.

Xiang Ning paused for a moment, then said, "Anyway, just keep it in mind..."

However, it's best to handle this as soon as possible, otherwise some idiot might say something nasty.

Chu Yuan looked down the mountain: "Someone will make the decision for them."

"The blood beasts are back!"

"Thirty percent of life's essence! I agree!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone! It's right here on this stone platform! I refuse to believe that Chu Yuan would dare not make a move!"

"......"

......

"The human cubs in the secret realm have all been driven to the vicinity of the passage;

Should we move on to the next step?

Qiu flicked its tail lightly, accidentally bumping into the rocks, and in an instant, the small mountain collapsed;

He is the king of the Blood Beast race, and "Chou" is the name he gave himself... meant to remind himself to take revenge on the human race!

For this, he paid the price of 99% of his clan's lives!

But as long as it allows us to take revenge on humanity and break free from human control... these sacrifices are worthwhile.

The martial artist beside him sat cross-legged in the void, while Li Hong stood quietly behind him.

The former sent a fiery red crystal into the void, carefully sensed it, and then said with satisfaction, "What's the rush? The time isn't right. Making a move rashly... will only result in being easily killed by the experts of the Great Qin."

"So we're just going to wait like this?!" Qiu's voice was somewhat irritable;

"Why don't you let your little guys have some fun first? Hunt them the way the Qin Dynasty used to hunt you down... wouldn't that be more fun?"

Qiu was somewhat tempted; it did sound very interesting.

The roles of hunter and prey have reversed; the hunted now torment and kill the hunter...

At this moment, a blood beast suddenly leaped from a distance and roared at Qiu.

"What!?"

"What's wrong?"

"Our people report that there is a formation set up by humans in the passageway, the kind you described!"

"It's incredibly powerful; it's already killed many of our people!" Qiu said, somewhat agitated.

Li Hong suddenly spoke up: "My lord, the person who set up the formation should be Chu Yuan. When I went back before, I learned that he organized many people to help him collect materials for setting up the formation!"

The martial artist glanced at him and said with great interest, "It's him... He can set up a formation that can easily kill a fourth-level cultivator with just the materials he temporarily collected in the secret realm."

"This kid... ask your people what kind of formation it is!"

The two, Qiu and the blood beast, exchanged low growls.

"All we know is that the area around the passage was shrouded in blood, and any tribesmen who attacked seemed to have had their flesh and blood drained from their bodies!"

The martial artist rubbed his chin: "It sounds... a bit like a blood sacrifice formation?"

It seems this kid was never a good person to begin with...
