Chapter 4406 Strange City
Chapter 4406 Strange City
Even if Ling Han was freakish, and it was a common occurrence for him to go against an opponent with a higher cultivation level with himself having a lower cultivation level, for Foundation Building Tier to go up against Spirit Transformation Tier, and still not fall into a disadvantage, even he could only watch in dumbfounded shock.
However, these mere guards in front of him did it.
This… were they supreme prodigies?
Really, if these people advanced a few major tiers and reached the Spiritual Transformation Tier or the Sect Master Tier, then wouldn't they be able to easily suppress even the Great Emperor?
Obviously, this was impossible. Otherwise, history would have long since been rewritten.
The young man in the Battle Armor hadn't expected this either. His face was filled with shock. A measly four Foundation Building Tier cultivators working together was actually able to push him back?
He got to his feet, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.
His opponents were too strange, and he could not make up his mind whether he should make a move or not.
Thankfully, the four guards had no intention of attacking, and merely stood guard at the doors.
Ling Han activated his eye technique and looked at the four guards. However, he only saw a cloud of murky light, which was very strange.
Ordinarily, what he would see should be the strength of blood and Qi, life and vitality, and definitely not this kind of murky light.
They… weren't humans?
It was very possible.
Ling Han nodded internally. If these weren't humans, then it could explain why they could defeat a stronger opponent with themselves being weaker. At least, the reason could be found.
"Entering the city requires registration," a guard said. It was as if he were merely making clear that he had absolutely no intention of attacking the young man with the Battle Armor.
Ling Han walked over and registered his name. He could vaguely feel that his soul had also been marked. Then, he was allowed to enter into the city.
Behind him, the young man in Battle Armor also became well-behaved and registered his name.
This city was a little strange, so it was best to cooperate.
The city was very lively. There were stalls by the roadside, and there was an endless stream of passersby. It was a scene of prosperity.
However, when Ling Han used his eye technique to scan them, he discovered that these merchants and commoners in the city were also like those guards previously, displaying lumps of murky light.
However, without activating his eye technique, these people were really no different from ordinary people.
Ling Han went to ask around. What exactly was going on here?
There were many outsiders in the city, and in fact, there was no shortage of Imperial Sons among them.
Had Ling Han finally caught up to the group of people at the forefront?
No.
It was said that the Golden Generation had long since left, and some of the Silver Generation and ordinary Imperial Sons had also left, but why was there still Imperial Sons left behind?
Trapped here?
This would explain the purpose of this city's existence.
In this city, it was easy to enter and easy to leave. There was definitely no one stopping them. Previously, when the guards stopped people and insisted for them to register, it was really just to ensure that they registered.
However, after leaving the city, there would be a dark place ahead of them. The moment they entered there, whether it was vision or perception, they would be severely affected. They would be like headless flies inside.
Unless… a special kind of torch was lit, which would be able to chase away the darkness.
Where had this kind of torch come from?
It could only be obtained in this city. To be more precise, it was the Li Clan, from the City Lord Residence.
How was one supposed to obtain it? Should he buy it?
No, it was through battle.
Challenge the Li Clan, but one had to win with a disadvantage in cultivation level. The more levels one was disadvantaged, the longer the torch one obtained would be able to burn.
What was the use of this?
That was because that land of darkness did not only serve as a blockade. There were also a great many natural treasures inside. Thus, the longer the torch burned, the more various treasures could be found inside.
But the problem was, challenges could be repeated, but there was only one chance to get hold of the torch.
Thus, it was impossible to switch torches every time, roam around in the darkness and then come back out again and switch to another torch and look around again.
Thus, those who were determined to find natural treasures would all be very cautious. They definitely had to obtain their best battle merits, and only then would they redeem torches, thereby maximizing their gains.
The reason why some Imperial Sons had not left was because they were still tempering themselves, and wanted to challenge in their prime condition.
So that was the case.
Ling Han nodded, then showed a hint of excitement.
In the place of darkness, there were natural treasures, and in his present state, he only needed to obtain a Five Star celestial fruit, and he would probably be able to reach peak stage Eighth Change.
At that time, he would be able to push open the doors to the Ninth Change.
He headed to the city lord's residence.
This was very easy to find, and there were no strict guards in the city lord's residence, so anyone could easily enter.
Ling Han entered the city lord's residence in a flash. A guard approached and brought him to the training ground.
There were a great many outsiders here, and they were all seated around the training ground. And inside the training ground, there were presently two young people clashing.
One was an outsider, while the other was a native. One only had to use an eye technique to know that his whole body was covered in a murky light.
This outsider was a Dao Child who had the cultivation level of Spirit Transformation Tier Fourth Change. However, his battle prowess had reached Spirit Transformation Tier Sixth Change, and he fought intensely against his opponent.
After battling for half a day, the two of them finally ended in a tie.
This Dao Child redeemed a torch and left without stopping.
They didn't stop him, because everyone knew that the torch was connected to each person's soul. Only one's own spiritual power could make a torch burn.
Of course, they could also force him to lead the way.
However, he was a Dao Child, after all, and had powerful strength. There really weren't many people that could defeat him.
"Next," the young man from the city lord's residence said.
At this moment, no one answered.
Since no one was going to fight, he would do it.
Ling Han leaped down and landed in the arena.
The young man from the city lord's residence swept an eye over him, "Spirit Transformation Tier, Eighth Change."
This kind of cultivation level didn't astonish the masses. As long as one was a prodigy, they could basically form nine True Selves at the True Self Tier. Then, they would naturally be able to easily reach the Ninth Change.
Thus, Eighth Change and Ninth Change could only mean that one's cultivation level was high, but it had absolutely nothing to do with whether one was a prodigy or not.
Boom!
The young man immediately charged out, launching an attack at Ling Han.
He was also using the power of Eighth Change. One after another, spiritual bodies leaped out of his body, using his full strength.
Meanwhile, Ling Han casually parried. He was very interested in the natives here. What kind of existence were they?
Thus, he patiently exchanged blows with this young man.
"Sigh, this is too weak, isn't it?"
"Even someone with the same cultivation level is struggling so much. Hehe, he actually still has the face to come out."
"How laughable."
Everyone shook their heads, thinking that Ling Han's strength was really too weak. How could he have the nerve to make a move?
After battling for a long time, Ling Han was finally tired of watching. He threw a punch, defeating his opponent.
"Spirit Transformation Tier Seventh Change," the young man said as he pointed at Ling Han.
Yi?
Ling Han shockingly discovered that one of his spiritual bodies had been sealed, and he couldn't unleash the slightest bit of power.
His cultivation level had been suppressed to Seventh Change.
Interesting.
This opponent was clearly not as strong as him, yet could easily suppress his cultivation level.
It was definitely not human.
Ling Han thought internally. An ordinary living being would definitely not be able to suppress his cultivation level so easily. At least, only a Venerate Tier would be able to do so.
