“Would you like to join my team? We are all strong in the Third Zone. Your strength will be well-matched,” said Yi Ya.

“I’ve got a lot of troubles in my life. I’m a loner,” said Jiang Chen.

Yi Ya said with a small smile, “This is not a good reason to reject people in the Third Zone. Everyone knows it’s impossible to act alone in the Third Zone now.”

“Oh?” Jiang Chen did not know that yet.

Seeing that he was ignorant of the reasons for this, Yi Ya told him why. The Blood Race in the Third Zone were not like lambs going to the slaughter anymore. They were very well-organized and had done a lot of planning. A person flying in the air alone would be targeted and besieged before he or she knew it.

“Aren’t you alone also?” Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity.

“I’m learning new sword movements. I always go home before dusk.” This reminded Yi Ya of what she had to do. She said, “Take your time to consider it. Come to find me in the safe area if you change your mind.”

“Okay,” Jiang Chen agreed.

When the two were about to part, something occurred to him. He called out to her, “Are the sword movements you just mentioned the same ones you used to kill the Blood King?”

“Yes. I feel that I am not completely successful yet.” Yi Ya did not keep the fact from him.

“In my opinion…” Jiang Chen was going to tell her what he had noticed.

Yi Ya stopped him. “When it comes to the comprehension of martial arts techniques, the most important thing is to discover the answer yourself. Once you succeed, you’ll benefit from that for the rest of your life. If you are used to getting instructions and help from others, there is no way you can be one of the best.”

Jiang Chen nodded. This woman had left a great impression on him.

…..

Then he went back to the battlefield to find Wan Renlong, who had been treating his wounds. Jiang Chen shook his head after learning from Wan Renlong why the latter had lit the candle. He told Wan Renlong just to get used to it.

“You seem to be very experienced?” Seeing him behave like an old dog, Wan Renlong felt very curious. Had Jiang Chen been betrayed a lot after helping people?

Jiang Chen did not speak. He just kept smiling. He really did not want to get started on that.

“It’s too dangerous in the Third Zone. Acting alone is impossible. Why don’t we act together?” Wan Renlong proposed. Jiang Chen was reminded of the woman’s offer, so he told Wan Renlong what had happened.

“Yi Ya? The woman ranked 36th on the Sacred Lord’s List?”

Jiang Chen was surprised that Wan Renlong had heard about this woman. Then Wan Renlong told him that Yi Ya was from the powerful World of Meson that belonged to the Human Race. Not only did she have a great background, but her own strength was renowned.

There were hundreds of thousands of Worlds of Meson. There were big ones and small ones, in which creatures of all races were living. Some Worlds of Meson were strong, while others were weak. Needless to say, the Dragon Realm and the Realm of Evil Spirits were certainly powerful. However, there was a World of Meson occupied by the Human Race that had grown especially strong. That was World of Tianhong, where the Wans were from. The Wans were a strong force there. However, Yi Ya’s family ruled the Wans. As a result, Yi Ya was always the center of attention. It was not an exaggeration to say that at all.

“She started the Knife Sword a.s.sociation with some other people. They only recruit geniuses among geniuses. It’s unprecedented that you have received her recognition,” Wan Renlong said emotionally. Then he explained, “I said it is unprecedented because you are only a Martial Emperor in the preliminary stage.” However, not many people could be as strong as Jiang Chen was while being a Martial Emperor in the preliminary stage.

“So should I seize this chance?” Jiang Chen was kind of persuaded.

“Certainly! The Knife Sword a.s.sociation goes to dangerous parts of the Third Zone a lot. You’ll get the chance to explore relics as well as get more Sacred Vigor,” said Wan Renlong excitedly. He did not bring up the idea of acting with Jiang Chen again—neither did he hope to join the Knife Sword a.s.sociation.

Wan Renlong was going to go to the safe area first to find a team that was more suitable for his strength. “Those deserters consumed too much of their energy. Their strengths were greatly undermined. They’ll absolutely go to the safe area too.” And he did not forget to remind Jiang Chen, “There is only one safe area in the Third Zone!”

“Let’s go there then!” Jiang Chen was not going to let those people go. The two headed for the safe area. Soon, they saw a light soaring in the clouds not far away. Jiang Chen recognized that it was Yi Ya’s sword radiance. He saw some evident improvements in it. He supposed she must have succeeded.

“This Third Zone seems to be interesting.” The safe area suddenly piqued Jiang Chen’s interest. As the only safe area, it was located at the center of the Third Zone. Under the influence of Sacred Spirits, the Blood Race was kept away from here. Unsurprisingly, the safe area was in fact a city. It was much more bustling than Jiang Chen had imagined. Maybe this was because it was the only city in the Third Zone.

“New Sacred Lord candidates will be sent in to replace the dead ones. Some Sacred Spirits even refuse to recognize their Sacred Lords so that they can take advantage of the rules to send more people in for the test,” Wan Renlong told him. “It’s truly intense in the Fourth and the Fifth Zone. It is said that Martial Arts Saints are all taking advantage of this opportunity to have adventures—young Martial Arts Saints, certainly.” The young Martial Arts Saints he mentioned referred to those Martial Arts Saints who still had a youthful spirit and a s.p.a.ce to improve. Jiang Chen nodded, eager to go to the Fifth Zone to have an eye-opening experience.

After landing in the city, he found what Yi Ya had told him about the Third Zone was all true. He saw teams recruiting new members everywhere. Some teams claimed they would go to have adventures where there were Blood Emperors in the Third Zone, so they would need some brave strong people.

“Isn’t this the Second Young Master of the Wans? You Wans are really tough. The second one has been sent here right away after the first one was disabled.” A harsh voice rang out as Jiang Chen and Wan Renlong were walking in the city. They looked toward where the voice was coming from. Jiang Chen saw a good-looking, average size man. However, his facial expression as he spoke was hateful.

Wan Renlong gritted his teeth after hearing him. He was so angry that even his face became distorted. This was the first time that Jiang Chen had seen Wan Renlong so irate. Jiang Chen was curious too. Since Wan Renlong was Wan Ruoxi’s second elder brother, where was her eldest brother?

Then he found out the answer.

“Tut. Tut. Tut. You are with a Martial Emperor in the preliminary stage this time? Aren’t you afraid you’ll die too soon?” The guy a.s.saulted them with words again to irritate Wan Renlong.

There were almost no Star Venerables in the Second Zone. Needless to say, the Third Zone was full of Martial Emperors. Those in the preliminary stage were certainly the weakest.

“Liu Chenfeng! Get lost!” Wan Renlong swore at him.

“You are angry? Am I not telling the truth?” Instead of leaving, the man called Liu Chenfeng continued his insults. He came up to the two men. “It’s forbidden to fight in the safe area,” he said complacently.

“Oh? No Sacred Spirit has said it’s forbidden to fight in the safe area,” said Jiang Chen.

“Ha, ha, ha. And neither has any Sacred Spirit told you, a Martial Emperor in the preliminary stage, to come here to court death. The rule is agreed by all. If you dare violate it, you’ll commit a big mistake,” Liu Chenfeng shouted, looking straight at him.

“Oh? Is that so?” Jiang Chen nodded, as if he had tumbled to the reality and did not realize Liu Chenfeng’s sarcasm.

Liu Chenfeng was going to laugh at him. However, before he could say anything, a shadow hovered over his face. He did not see what it was until the last minute. It was a fist. Then he got a heavy punch in his face.

Bang! The great force made him see stars. He fell onto the ground, unable to get to his feet.
