Soldiers subconsciously glanced at the pale-faced man with shabby mustard-colored hair. He had his hands tied behind his back with Chen following him intently. This individual was the enemy spirit master and right now, he was caught by Chen.commentThe destination of the escort wasn't a settlement, but a single outpost managed by a small group of Balak scouts. Once the escort was successful, the captain of the team handed Chen a folded certificate. This certificate of success was needed to justify his success of the mission.Nodding, Chen left while pulling the spirit master. Unlike the last time, the mission's time limit was only for the day so he was even more impatient. Now Chen felt that such low time limits were specifically placed to turn the spirit masters more frantic in their communication with their opponents, leading each other to quickly dispose of their opponents since it was the simplest method.Instead of speaking, Chen directly tore the man's clothes. He already had e
wn the youth's body, Chen didn't find anything aside from the belt with black stripes and nail-sized round pieces of jades inlaid.'A storage essence tool,' Chen instantly realized and he unbuckled the belt before pulling away. By now, the dog had returned with a loud bark."Let's see," Chen hummed, sending his spirit energy inside the belt, and was surprised to find that each round jade represented a cubic meter of space and there were a total of 24 pieces. Unlike the ring with the huge space, this one was more beneficial for organizing and storing items and weapons needed daily.Finally, Chen pulled out a square red token with the nickname: Luo San Pao, etched on it. There were no merit points which made Chen sigh.But he wasn't done. He had quite a lot of time this time so he gazed at the cautious dog licking his master's face while barking towards Chen occasionally.'The martial soul has shared senses with the spirit master. Are there any limitations to distance? I did kick the po
Chen still needed some time to be truly familiar with Balak City. He mostly remained within the inn, took part in missions, or spend some of his time in local taverns: not for the bothersome task such as collecting information but to try local dishes and calm his nerves.But Chen himself had long entered the information network of the city for being able to complete six missions was already impressive. Ordinary spirit masters either stop after their second or third missions or simply disappear. After all, if they can kill, they must also be ready to die and disappear. Who among the truly experienced spirit master didn't know of this?Experience didn't mean Spirit Title. In some manner, the lower-ranked rogue spirit masters were craftier. Their wealth of experience can allow them to face even a higher-ranked, untrained spirit master.Six missions meant a watershed.Chen understood this fact once he got the mission to destroy the fortress. To someone else, destroying was even harder tha
Unlike a fort, a tower is relatively harder to defend due to its narrow base and greater height. But the advantage of a tower wasn't to fortify and store armies, it was to scout. With the tower's height and expert scouts, enemies are discovered quicker than usual and reported back. This was the case currently.Within the Silvers Kingdom's Territory, the tower Chen is asked to defend is the eye of three forts collectively with scouts constantly updating the forts. The Chief of the Tower, a grey-haired middle-aged man with an impressive physique by the size of his pieces of armor, was quite reluctant. Soldiers didn't understand but how could a higher official not?By the two kingdoms, Empire, and the Spirit Hall, all non-spirit masters in the armies were treated as a pawn. In some way, their fates were worse than spirit masters.But Chen, much to the chief's shock, didn't try to gain control and approval of the tower's soldiers like others who came before him. This tower isn't only visi
The seven enemies glared at Chen. Why wouldn't they? Their clothes were slightly shuffled and while everyone thought they'd been molested at first, it turns out that reality was far more pragmatic and crueler. Belonging to one of the three most prominent clans of the Douluo Continent, despite their lower ranking, all of them held specialized items such as spirit blocking rope, and now, everyone was tied with their own items!Their storage tools were robbed and their opponent still hadn't revealed anyone aside from the spirit master with a plain black mask and brilliant black combat robes. To the eyes of the defeated, the spirit master clearly belonged to a faction. This thought was solidified further when they gazed at the majestic gauntlets worn over his hands that extended a little further to his forearms."We have lost and you've robbed us of our tokens. But there is no need to further the aggravations since we both know that losing a battle, for us, doesn't mean the loss of life."
Unlike usual, Chen didn't spend his entire time in the Inn. Ah Yin and Chen have been in Balak City for almost a month but instead of cultivating in seclusion or simply speedrunning the missions, the two haven't done much and sharing Chen's sentiment of feeling slightly clustered due to such a routine, the duo stepped out of the Inn with their masks on.The Aroma Silk Tulip was ready to be used one last time and Chen had 28 lotus seeds ready to be consumed but all of it can wait. Though completely focused on the mission to get the chance of achieving two more rewards, he still felt the slight delay worth it if the accompanying partner was Ah Yin. Not because she was a girl, well partly yes, but also because the two found each other pleasing regardless of how much they bickered."We have experienced the nightlife of the city, we have even tasted the local cuisine," Ah Yin spoke up, "What do you think we should do this time?"Built for more militaristic purposes, Balak City had quite a
Over one and half month has passed since Chen started accepting missions and as the two kingdoms promised, the rewards could boost a spirit master's strength comprehensively if they know how to properly use their rewards. Out of the 'real' mission time, only 43 days are left. In the remaining period, Chen had completed three other group missions. His strength already greater than what he could have ordinarily achieved in half a year if not an entire year.His Revitalized Blood Qi Art reaching the fifth stage and finally nourishing his physique as a whole. The greatest gain was the slight comprehension of Heart Separation Control but to reach the most basic standard of the technique— Three Aperture Governing Heart.With his tenth mission completed, Chen once again sat in front of Yu Suntao while he deeply explained the cause of the war and the consequences of various choices."Ultimate Grandson, do you understand now? It may sound extremely insincere at this moment, but the Spirit Hall
"Shit!" A large man with a nasty scar from the corner of his lips to his jawline. A kerchief loosely hung around his neck. There were two other men and three other women. Each of them had similar scars running from the corner of their lips and reaching their jaws. Everyone looked gloomy, their eyes revealing a hateful glare as they recalled the silver glare sweeping in and taking away their brother."Let's storm that Su Huo's mansion! I don't believe that he can defend us all. We have to save Little Lo!"A girl expressed her indignance however, the burliest in the group growled and raised his hand to silence his brothers and sisters."We can't. We've fallen into their trap once, we cannot afford to make the same mistake again. This group is going to be strong... and losing this group match means losing our lives! For the kingdoms, this is a game, but for us, it is a real war through and through.""We will make our move tonight. Little Ran, make sure you only use your spirit energy on
