Chapter 1009 - The Thousand Star Proving Ground
Chapter 1009: The Thousand Star Proving Ground
To Han Fei and the others, they had grown up not only because of their strength, but also because of their knowledge, technique, and reaction speed.
Above them were the levels of Law Enforcers, Explorers, and even Venerables. The battle was purely about whose fist was bigger. Even among Hidden Fishers who were Heavenly Talents or ordinary, there was an insurmountable gap.
Therefore, in terms of combat ability alone, Han Fei was probably no weaker than a Law Enforcer or an Explorer.
He hadn’t even used the techniques that Ren Tianfei had taught him. With just the 108 Desolate God Body, he had easily defeated the five of them.
At that moment, everyone, including Yi Xiyan, were stunned.
The only exception was Su Daji. She was sitting on the ground with a brick in her hand, looking a little lost.
Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei. “As expected. The captain can only be chosen between Xing Yue and Su Sanqian. Xing Yue’s inappropriate command during the battle is entirely because he’s inexperienced and hasn’t fought many battles. However, at least he’s relatively calm. As the controller, Su Sanqian knows the situation the best, but I wonder if he has the advantage in guidance?”
Han Fei said, “Then test them.”
Luo Xiaobai thought for a moment and suddenly took out two fish skin test papers. She handed them to Xing Yue and Su Sanqian and said, “Do this.”
Han Fei glanced at it and was stunned. Wasn’t this the exam paper from the 36 Towns?
Upon seeing the first question, Han Fei was stunned. How did this question work? It seemed that Luo Xiaobai had explained it before, but he couldn’t remember!
Immediately, Han Fei looked at Xing Yue and Su Sanqian with a sympathetic gaze. Good luck to you!
Yi Xiyan asked, “Senior Sister, why didn’t I get a test paper?”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Because you don’t need it.”
Zhang Xuanyu said leisurely, “If you really want to see it, just take a look.”
After a moment…
Yi Xiyan returned with her eyes wide open. It’s terrifying. It’s really terrifying.
Su Daiji didn’t even take a look.
Gu Qi was standing between Su Sanqian and Xing Yue, looking at this and that. She was dumbfounded. She had a feeling that she couldn’t answer any of these questions.
When Su Sanqian and Xing Yue saw the question, they were stunned. They didn’t know how to answer the first question either.
At the side, Le Renkuang sighed. “Isn’t this too cruel?”
Li Luoluo perceived it and her expression changed. “Isn’t this the test?”
After a moment of silence, Jiuyin Ling said, “This seems to be rather difficult!”
Luo Xiaobai said indifferently, “It’s just to see their temperament.”
Apart from Su Sanqian and Xingyue, the other three were taken away by Han Fei’s level of body refinement.
Yi Xinyan exclaimed, “Darling, this is so difficult!”
Zhang Xuanyu said with a black face, “Call me Senior Brother, Senior Brother, Senior Brother… It’s not difficult for anyone, why is it difficult for you? Do you want me to help you?”
Yi Xiyan’s face turned red. “What are you talking about?”
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei patted Zhang Xuanyu on the shoulder. “This is at most an accident. There won’t be a second one. Besides, isn’t that what you like?”
Zhang Xuanyu bared his teeth. “What do you mean I like this? I’m still a child.”
BAM!
Han Fei kicked him away and shouted, “Senior Tree Spirit.”
Tree Spirit walked out of the spiritual plant wall. “Master?”
Han Fei commanded, “Stay here and guard the school! We’re going out.”
Luo Xiaobai asked, “All of us?”
Han Fei thought for a moment… “Yes.”
Li Luoluo asked, “Where are we going?”
Han Fei said, “The Thousand Star Proving Ground.”
Han Fei didn’t ask for Jiuyin Ling’s opinion, because the Heavenly Music Book had already given her the answers. She was the one who needed to walk around the most.
Luo Xiaobai looked at Su Sanqian and Xingyue. “After you are done, temper your bodies with the others.”
Su Sanqian and Xingyue hurriedly agreed.
Only then did Han Fei and the others board the fishing boat and fly to the Thousand Star Proving Ground.
Over the past few days, Han Fei had already read the information regarding the Thousand Star City. Furthermore, this time, Ku Shui had followed them. With the Su Family’s Explorers taking note of them and Tree Spirit’s clone guarding the school, there was nothing to worry about, even if an Explorer-level person broke in.
The Thousand Star Proving Ground contained thousands of secret realms. Only a few places here were open to the public. Most of the places were controlled by the big clans and the seven sects.
According to the differences in the secret realms, there were also ten levels of difficulty. And these levels corresponded to the ten levels: from the Fisher realm to the King realm.
The higher the difficulty, the fewer secret realms there were.
As of now, 80% of the secret realms in the Thousand Star Proving Ground had been explored. This was the data from more than 30 years ago. Why was it 80%? This was because, from the level of the Law Enforcers, which was the seventh level of difficulty, the secret realms were no longer easy to explore.
It was said that high-level secret realms were usually more difficult than ordinary levels.
It was very likely that an Explorer-level secret realm could lead to the death of an Explorer, and it could also lead to the death of a Venerable.
As for the Venerable-level secret realms, the information said that a Venerable expert from the Chu Sect had once entered to explore it, but he never came out again.
From this, it could be seen that the higher one went, the more difficult it was.
As for the Chu Sect and Cao Family, the reason they were called the two most powerful families was that these two families had explored nearly five Explorer-level secret realms, which were level-8 secret realms.
As for the Venerable-level secret realm and the King-level secret realm, no one had successfully explored them. Over the years, no one who entered them had survived.
In Han Fei’s hand was the Sea Swallowing Seashell that Old Bai had given him before they set off for the Thousand Star City.
As he knew that this thing was trouble, Han Fei kept it in Forge the Universe and didn’t look at it.
At that moment, he had to accept the trouble before glancing inside it.
However, when he looked inside, he found that there was a pile of fish skin maps and a pile of crystalline objects that resembled yellow beads. Every bead had a serial number.
For example, Han Fei casually looked at a bead that had four stars and the number 21 on it.
If Han Fei wasn’t mistaken, the four stars corresponded to the secret realm of the Dangling Fisher level. The number on it should be the serial number of the secret realm.
After quickly glancing at the fish skin map, Han Fei quickly found the corresponding fish skin map. On the map was a map of a secret realm. Clearly, this place had been explored. Therefore, someone from the former Thug Academy had drawn the map.
Han Fei couldn’t help but feel puzzled. There were as many as 236 beads here.
This also meant that the former Thug Academy had robbed more than 200 secret realms in one go. It was truly shocking.
Furthermore, Han Fei found three eight-star beads on all the pillars. In other words, the Thug Academy had once taken three Explorer-level secret realms.
“Holy sh*t, isn’t this… Comparable to the Cao family and the Chu Sect?”
If the Thug Academy hadn’t declined more than 30 years ago, its heritage would indeed be comparable to the Cao Family and the Chu Sect.
Han Fei’s heart did a flip.
He couldn’t take them all out now. Since these secret realms were extremely precious, it was possible that someone was targeting them.
Han Fei couldn’t use the beads of the Explorer-level secret realms. As for the Law Enforcer-level beads, they hadn’t even become Law Enforcers yet, so they might not be able to use these beads.
However, the Hidden Fisher-level secret realm shouldn’t be difficult for them with their strength.
Seeing Han Fei’s strange expression, Luo Xiaobai couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Han Fei smiled. “Nothing. I’ll show you a surprise later.”
Apart from Luo Xiaobai and Jiuyin Ling, the others asked, “What surprise?”
Han Fei chuckled. “It’s a surprise. You’ll find out later. Alright, where are we?”
Ku Shui said, “The Thousand Star Proving Ground is on the Star River Island outside the Three Holy Lands. That entire island is the Thousand Star Proving Ground. We’ve only flown a third of the way. It’s still early.”
Suddenly, Ku Shui added, “Young Masters, a few perceptions swept over us just now. They should be at the level of an Explorer. I’m afraid you have to be prepared.”
Han Fei said disdainfully, “Don’t worry about them. If they could attack, they would’ve done so long ago. If someone weaker than them attacks us, I’ll make them cry in fear.”
Luo Xiaobai nodded slightly. “Indeed. As long as we don’t break through to the Law Enforcer realm, the Law Enforcers won’t find trouble with us.”
Le Renkuang murmured, “Devour them.”
Jiuyin Ling looked at Han Fei. “Isn’t this considered training in the mortal world?”
Han Fei said with a smile, “Of course. The interest of the big clans, and the dirty tricks of those arrogant children of the big clans, are enough for you to broaden your horizons.”
“OK!”
She lowered her head slightly, her thoughts a mystery.
About an hour later, they finally arrived. They saw a huge island that emitted a black fog.
In the sky near the island, thousands of fishing boats were floating. Almost every fishing boat had people sitting on them.
When the Wind God Boat arrived, it attracted the attention of many people because of its cool appearance.
Many people were puzzled. Which family were they from?
However, the Thousand Star City was just too huge. It could be considered a large country. Every island was equivalent to a province with a population of millions. Who could recognize everyone?
The only advantage cultivators had was that they could travel fast.
For example, Han Fei and the others could fly 5,000 kilometers in an hour. Therefore, in this sense, although the geographical scope of the Thousand Star City was wide, it was still acceptable.
Han Fei and the others didn’t stop for a moment. Under Ku Shui’s control, the fishing boat arrived at a huge plain-like ground outside the Star River Island.
Ku Shui said, “Young Masters, this is the only open area on the Star River Island. However, you should already know the way to enter the Star River Island. If you have a Star Bead, you can use it here to directly open a teleportation door and enter a secret realm. If you don’t have a Star Bead, you have to enter the Star River through the dark fog and search for it. However, the Star River is dangerous and Star Beads are rare. Too many have already been harvested. If you can find one, I’m afraid it will be an extremely terrifying secret realm.”
Han Fei nodded. “It’s fine. We have Star Beads.”
Everyone looked at Han Fei, wondering when they had found such a thing.
