What shocked Long Chen was that this person's aura was actually similar to that of the head of the Discipline Institute, Chu Huairen, and others, but his vitality was withered. He looked to be in his thirties, yet gave off the impression of a twilight in his twilight years.
"Senior, you flatter me. We are just a bunch of rookies just starting out; we are unworthy of your personal welcome." Long Chen hurriedly said.
Long Chen's eyes were sharp. Although he appeared frail at this moment, deep in his gaze was calm and unruffled. Clearly, this man had once been a master.
He just didn't know why he had turned into this state, but Long Chen could sense the powerful will deep within this person's soul. He was a formidable warrior born from the battlefield.
The old man looked at Long Chen in surprise, then suddenly smiled: "I never expected that among this new batch of disciples, there would actually be a true warrior. What a blessing for the academy." Mu
Qingyun, Luo Bing, and the others were stunned. They had no idea what the man before them truly was, and seeing Long Chen so polite to him, they couldn't help but find it strange.
The man continued, "You probably don't know me, but I believe you should know your Discipline Institute's head Wang Chong."
We entered the academy to cultivate the same year, joined the War God Hall the same year, and almost the same year left the War God Hall.
That year, I lost all my cultivation, and he lost an arm. Helplessly, we could only leave that sacred hall in sorrow.
He became the head of the Discipline Institute, while I stayed here to receive you, warriors who are full of hope for the future, confident in themselves, and full of passion.
Seeing you feels like seeing my younger self, full of energy and confidence. That time is truly nostalgic. Mu
Qingyun, Luo Bing, and the others were shaken to their core. They hadn't expected that this unremarkable man before them was actually a peer of the head of the Discipline Institute.
At the same time, they were secretly shocked by Long Chen's gaze. They hadn't noticed anything at all, but Long Chen saw through that person's realm at a glance—the gap was simply too great.
"Senior, are you trying to use your own experiences to show us how terrifying the Demon Battlefield can be?" Long Chen asked.
The man smiled slightly and said, "Yes, because every year on the Demon Battlefield, too many disciples die in battle."
Most of them were careless or reckless, losing their lives in vain, which is truly regrettable.
I'm here to teach you a lesson before you enter the battlefield. Based on my own experience, I'll show you the terrifying power of the Demon Battlefield.
But since you're leading the group, I don't need to waste words, saving us a lot of time. After
speaking, the man took out a nameplate and handed it to Long Chen, saying, "This is a map of the battlefield distribution of the Demon Battlefield. It clearly records the terrain, difficulty, types of demons, attributes, divine abilities, and possible dangers for each zone."
The nameplate is also a lifeline. If you break it in danger, a powerful figure will come to rescue you.
The price for crushing the nameplate is a month's worth of killing points, all of which will be reset to zero. So, my personal advice is that you should start with the simplest and safest battlefield. "The man said.
"Thank you, senior."
Long Chen took the nameplate, thanked the man, and headed straight into the depths of the dark world. Passing through a desolate passage, he saw countless war chariots and divine crossbows ahead, along with flying beasts roaming the streets.
Some beasts had terrifying auras that seemed to be fourth-tier ferocious beasts—terrifying beings above the Four Extremes Realm.
However, these beasts were all trained mounts, very obedient, and did not harm people.
As everyone passed by the ferocious beasts, Li Cai and the others felt their scalps tingle. The aura of these beasts was terrifying; it felt as if a single sneeze could kill them.
The most terrifying part was that these beasts stared at them without blinking, making their hair stand on end.
"Is this a deliberate test for us?" Li Cai said in a trembling voice. On both sides were terrifying beasts passing through their massive bodies. To say they weren't afraid would be a lie.
"He must be deliberately trying to scare us, telling us to be cautious and careful, so we don't lose our lives here." Mu Qingyun was also a bit nervous, though he knew these ferocious beasts wouldn't harm them.
But such terrifying beasts could be killed with just a slight movement. The feeling of having their lives controlled by someone else was especially nerve-wracking.
Long Chen led everyone forward, not even glancing at the ferocious beasts, which greatly boosted their confidence.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground trembled violently. A giant beast a hundred zhang tall suddenly moved, blocking the front and causing everyone to scream in terror.
"Red-armored Earth Dragon" Luo Bing was shocked and quickly stopped in his tracks, not daring to move, recognizing that it was not a ferocious beast but a terrifying fourth-rank magical beast.
Ferocious beasts are easy to control due to their low intelligence, but magical beasts are different. They possess a certain level of intelligence, making them difficult to control, and even if controlled, they risk devouring their master.
Seeing the red-armored earth dragon blocking their way, Luo Bing and the others were so frightened they didn't dare move, but Long Chen headed straight for the dragon.
"Third Brother..." Mu Qingyun exclaimed in surprise.
"Boom boom..."
But before Mu Qingyun could finish, the massive Earthwalking Dragon suddenly knelt on its front legs, resting its head on the ground as if worshipping Long Chen.
"This ..."
Mu Qingyun and the others were stunned. Under their vacant gazes, Long Chen had already walked up to the top of the Earthwalker's head, patted the head of the red-armored Earthwalker, then turned to the group and said,
"Let's go."
Long Chen sighed inwardly. This red-armored earth-walking dragon had a faint trace of dragon blood, but it was precisely this faint trace of dragon blood that made it sense the fluctuations of his dragon blood, prostrating itself and willing to obey his command.
Long Chen was increasingly suspicious that the dragon blood power within him might have some secret. Otherwise, such a terrifying earthwalking dragon wouldn't behave like this.
Long Chen told it not to move and told everyone to follow. The red-armored Earthwalker blocked the way, but Long Chen walked over it as if climbing a mountain, passing over its body. Li Cai and the others felt their scalps tingle.
But since Long Chen told them to leave, they had to grit their teeth and leave. Trembling, they walked up to the Earth Dragon, staring at its two eyeballs bigger than a house. Even Luo Bing and the others felt their souls tremble.
But to avoid Long Chen looking down on her, Luo Ning was the first to grit her teeth and step forward. The ground dragon remained motionless, letting them pass by, which finally put the others at ease.
After everyone had gone away, the Earthwalker Dragon finally got up and returned to his original position. Li Cai and the others felt as if they had walked back and forth from the gates of hell, while many of the Luo Sect disciples were already soaked with sweat, bearing the greatest pressure.
Passing through the Beast Passage, a huge camp appeared ahead. Inside, they finally saw countless inner disciples busily running about.
After entering the camp, Long Chen submitted the nameplate, and soon they were assigned a temporary tent belonging to them.
The tent was huge, accommodating members of two alliances, and was very spacious. Inside the tent was a huge sand table—a three-dimensional map.
"Come on, let's have a meeting to discuss our battle strategy. Do you want to have soup first, then noodles, or just eat meat?"
Long Chen said to Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, and the others. https:
