Su Yue frowned, his face full of righteous indignation.
What a joke.
Every time I come to the Wet Realm, itâs always just to Cangyuan Sixth Camp, and then I train under the protection of these five people.
This... how is this any different from being on Fuling Mountain?
Iâm here to kill enemies, to make achievements, and as a wandering youth, I also need to steal things. How can I waste precious time?
"Stop kidding, fighting enemies below the fourth rank has no significance. Once youâre above the fourth rank, you can participate in large scale battles to accumulate combat experience.
"Qi and Blood Martial Artist refers to first and second rank martial artists who donât dare to come to the Wet Realm and refuse to practice combat techniques.
"Youâre already fourth rank, and the guys here wonât delay your practice of combat techniques. They will even push you."
Wang Anhu, like a thoughtful parent, had already paved the way for Su Yue.
Prince Qing is in prison, and under the covert threat from the Elixir Group, no one on Earth can really help Su Yue.
But here in the Wet Realm, the Elixir Groupâs reach doesnât extend into the mining area.
Cangyuan Sixth Camp will surely find a way to ensure Su Yue reaches the fourth rank safely.
"But I still want to go kill enemies."
Su Yue mumbled.
"Su Yue, stop fooling around and listen properly."
Bai Xiaolong couldnât hold back any longer.
A pie fell from the sky, still steaming, and instead of taking a bite, youâre actually thinking of throwing it away.
Thatâs sheer idiocy.
Others at second or third rank are fighting on the battlefield, scavenging herbs in the jungle because they have no choice, and because they have no opportunity to come to Cangyuan Sixth Camp.
Youâre standing on the shoulders of giants now.
Not just me, Bai Xiaolong from an ordinary family, even Mu Cheng couldnât get this kind of training from Cangyuan Sixth Camp.
You should be satisfied.
"Haha, heâs right, listen properly.
"By the way, I know youâre Prince Qingâs son, youâve never been able to sit still.
"In the future, whenever you come to the second battlefield, youâll be directly sent to Cangyuan Sixth Camp. Zone A wonât accept you. Weâve talked it over. Behave and train well.
"Your life-paper is also in my hands; the other camps wonât accept you either."
Wang Anhu seemed to see through Su Yueâs plan, giving a disdainful smile.
Young man, I know youâve grown two restless legs.
But they will have to be tied down.
Su Yueâs face was expressionless, his limbs stiff.
The only plan shattered.
He really planned, next time in the Wet Realm, to refuse Cangyuan Sixth Camp and directly head to the A Zone battlefield.
Only in a chaotic place would he have the opportunity to escape.
This time, itâs just training. There will be a next time,
Unfortunately, his plan was evidently seen through.
Su Yue was anxious inside.
Waiting to be fourth rank, thatâs not going to happen soon, at least a year or two later.
If he went to other Wet Ghost Towers to reach the Wet Realm, he wouldnât fight in Dianshi City, so going there would be pointless.
What should he do?
Although these five uncles were considering things for him, for his own good,
Itâs just that things have reached an impasse.
Forget it.
Take it step by step, solutions are always more than problems.
Su Yue believed, there is always a way out.
...
After walking a bit more, the ground gradually had no plants, just mud frozen from the pond.
Cold!
Bitingly cold.
Even with the Qi ring operating, the cold still penetrated to the bones, making Su Yue inhale sharply.
In the Wet Realm, everyone wore special leather clothing, theoretically moisture-proof, though it couldnât prevent internal dampness, at least it blocked moisture from outside.
But through the boots, the swampâs moisture could directly rush from the soles to the skull.
It was simply terrifying.
The Wet Realm is no place for humans to stay.
...
Diligence points +11
Diligence points +13
...
In his mind, the system prompts also indicated to Su Yue that the current environment is extremely harsh.
Su Yue glanced at the other two.
Wang Anhu was unsurprising.
Heâs about to break through to a Grandmaster, and having long been accustomed to this environment, he appeared calm.
Bai Xiaolong, this guy, was a bit lacking.
Youâre supposed to be at the peak of fourth rank, could you at least not look so pained, as if your backside was blasted.
Finally, the three arrived at a small cave front.
Yes!
It really was a small cave.
Only enough for two people to sit inside, with a pile of burning flames as a campfire inside the cave.
Along the way, Wang Anhu had mentioned that the wood here was supplied by them, and although Jiao Qingyuan was reclusive by nature, they also wanted the General to live a bit better.
"Is it Su Yue?"
Finally, Su Yue met this legendary General.
According to Wang Anhu and others, Jiao Qingyuan was actually just over 40.
But in Su Yueâs eyes, he looked thin, with a head full of white hair, saying he was 60 would not be an exaggeration.
Itâs no surprise.
In such a desolate and harsh land, he endured hardships beyond words, his sacrifices were immense.
"Senior."
Su Yue stepped forward and saluted.
"You really look a lot like Prince Qing, itâs so good... youâve grown up so much.
"When Prince Qing saved my life, you were still a little kid, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
"Unfortunately, Prince Qing..."
Talking about his father, a sad glimmer appeared in Jiao Qingyuanâs eyes.
"Forget it, letâs not talk about those things, seeing you grown up like this is satisfying enough."
Su Yue was about to say a few words about how his father was doing alright in prison, but Jiao Qingyuan directly interrupted him.
In hindsight, having tea or not, he was still not a free man.
"Su Yue, come with me to the cave dwelling."
Jiao Qingyuan ignored Wang Anhu and Bai Xiaolong, taking Su Yue to the cave dwelling by himself.
Inside it was small but pleasantly dry and clean.
On reflection, it made sense.
After all, Jiao Qingyuan was a Grandmaster, and this cave dwelling used a lot of source minerals, keeping it dry was only natural.
Zhao Chu discovered that in the cave dwelling, there were even some books made from imitation tree bark.
Yes, these were books about the language of the Wet Realm.
This was imitation tree bark.
And this knowledge also came from the summary provided by the Divine Land Research Department.
The tree bark material is unique, unable to be replicated 100% on Earth, but some valueless tree bark can be reprocessed to make these imitation books.
"Itâs a bit dull here, so I asked the Research Institute for a few books to read when I have free time."
Seeing Su Yue pick up a book, Jiao Qingyuan laughed.
"Uh, this is also a good way to pass the time."
Su Yue chuckled.
With Ding Beituâs help, he already systematically understood the Wet Realm script; these introductory materials held no interest for him.
"This saber was given to me by your father back then. Now that I have broken through to Grandmaster, I no longer need it.
"But I never wanted to give it to anyone else, just waiting for you to come and inherit it.
"This is a C-grade alloy weapon. Unfortunately, itâs been too long, and its durability is a bit low, but itâs still better than those D-grade weapons nowadays.
"If you donât have any suitable weapons, just make do with this for now. After all, itâs your fatherâs legacy."
Jiao Qingyuan took out a long saber and handed it to Su Yue with a solemn expression.
"My dadâs saber."
Su Yueâs expression also became solemn.
"This saber is called: Skull Saber, the name was personally chosen by Prince Qing."
Jiao Qingyuan gazed at the Skull Saber, speaking with deep sentiment.
"Skull Saber? But there are no skulls?"
Su Yue examined it.
Putting aside the crude name, it looked like an ordinary long saber, but with a lot of source minerals added.
Nothing to do with skulls.
"This saber has turned tens of thousands of aliens into skulls, do you think it can be called Skull Saber?"
Jiao Qingyuan asked back.
"Hmm, it can!"
Su Yue nodded.
Although the explanation is far-fetched, it barely makes sense.
Skull Saber!
Dadâs literary skills really need improvement.
"Actually, I wanted to give you some elixirs, but your level is too low, I canât give you much. Some people in Cangyuan Sixth Camp should be able to help you improve quickly.
"Itâs too damp here. If thereâs nothing else, you should hurry back, donât end up with internal injuries.
"If you encounter problems in the future, you can have Wang Anhu bring you to find me.
"Go back, child!"
Jiao Qingyuan patted Su Yue on the head, without saying much else.
The mining area is special and prone to problems.
Outside the cave dwelling, Bai Xiaolongâs lips were purple, desperately circulating his Qi Ring, as he had not yet broken through to the fifth rank.
Even Wang Anhuâs face was a bit pale.
"Go back."
Jiao Qingyuan waved his hand.
His purpose was just to see Su Yue and pass on the Skull Saber.
Hearing this, Wang Anhu and the others said their goodbyes and left.
Delaying any longer, Bai Xiaolong might run into issues.
Su Yue was different.
From the moment he met Jiao Qingyuan, he was enveloped by the Grandmasterâs Qi Blood, and couldnât feel the chill at all.
