Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1858 - 1954: What Does It Represent? (Part 4)
As he walked, Ke Wuxin lifted his head and glanced at the points ranking list.
Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of unwillingness!!!
Second.
Importantly, this second place was far, far, far behind the first.
He hadn’t personally witnessed what happened with Su Chen, nor had he seen Su Chen in action. He could only infer from the changes in the points ranking that Su Chen sequentially defeated Gu Taisheng, Sui Yiren, Huang Zhetian, Hong Jing, and beat Ye Zhi and others.
"Am I really not as good as you?" Ke Wuxin gritted his teeth, his hand involuntarily gripping his sword tighter.
In his heart, apart from unwillingness, there was also a trace of anger.
He had already put in an enormous amount of effort.
Yet he was nowhere near as superior as the high-ranking Su Chen.
Why?
Jealousy!
It’s something that can drive a person mad.
"Keep fighting." Taking a deep breath, Ke Wuxin raised his sword, his body moving even faster, eager to find more monsters and slay them, to close the gap between him and Su Chen.
It made no sense; as a prodigy of a Hidden Family, he couldn’t be inferior to a kid barely two hundred years old with no apparent background.
Time continued to pass.
Su Chen, accompanied by Yinyin and the others, leisurely headed towards the inner layer of the Deceptive Realm Battlefield.
There was no deliberate search for monsters.
If they encountered any, they dealt with them.
As if they were on a sightseeing tour.
As for Ye Zhi, although she was still within the Deceptive Realm Battlefield, her points remained at 0, as if she was hiding somewhere cultivating, seemingly uninterested in the points ranking.
On the contrary, Ke Wuxin’s points were desperately rising.
From thirty thousand points to thirty-three thousand, thirty-five thousand, thirty-nine thousand, up to forty-five thousand, rising crazily every day.
Regrettably, it was still a world apart from Su Chen’s terrifying number of two hundred and seventy thousand points.
That day.
As they walked, walked, walked...
Suddenly!!!
Su Chen stopped in his tracks.
"What’s wrong?" Every time Su Chen suddenly stopped along the way, something would happen, or someone would suddenly appear. So this time, when Su Chen stopped, Yinyin and the girls’ eyes lit up.
"It’s nothing." Su Chen didn’t elaborate because there was nothing concrete to say.
"Jiuyou. It’s very strange. The closer we get to the center of the inner layer of the Deceptive Realm Battlefield, the more I have an inexplicable feeling." Su Chen communicated with Jiuyou.
"Explain more." Jiuyou became interested, as this inexplicable intuition and feeling were the most intriguing.
"It’s hard to describe." Su Chen shook his head. "Just now, the reason I stopped abruptly was that I seemed to hear a voice, a voice calling out to me. And my Divine Mansion within started to tremble slightly, an extremely subtle tremor."
"Oh?" Jiuyou became serious. "Are you sure you didn’t sense it wrong?"
"No."
"Does this mean there are other valuable things in the Deceptive Realm Battlefield besides the Divine Demon Ghost Fire?" Jiuyou found it hard to believe.
Generally, a secret realm with a Fire Spirit of the Divine Demon Ghost Fire is considered the ultimate. Even the most outstanding secret realm, with a Chaotic Supreme Treasure, would already be impressive!
If there were something else, then... that would be indescribable.
This was why, after Su Chen obtained the Divine Demon Ghost Fire that day, Jiuyou felt that all the other treasures within the Deceptive Realm Battlefield combined couldn’t match the value of a mere hair of the Divine Demon Ghost Fire.
But based on Su Chen’s current reaction and intuition, it seemed like she was wrong!
Maybe, the Deceptive Realm Battlefield was truly unique and full of surprises.
"Xi, do you feel anything?" Su Chen then communicated with Xi.
"No."
"Strange." Su Chen touched his nose. Jiuyou and Xi couldn’t sense it, yet he could faintly feel it. Very strange indeed.
He pondered for a while.
No conclusions were reached.
Su Chen dismissed these thoughts and picked up the pace, continuing towards the inner layer.
...
...
...
And time silently passed for nearly three months.
On this day.
Within the inner layer of the Deceptive Realm Battlefield.
Su Chen stood at the very center of the Deceptive Realm Battlefield.
He just stood there. Not speaking, not doing anything else. It was as if time had frozen.
Standing there, with his eyes closed.
This state had persisted for seven whole days.
From when they reached the innermost layer seven days ago, Su Chen remained there, unmoving, doing who knows what.
In that period, no terrifying monsters appeared, perhaps because even a trace of Su Chen’s aura was enough to deter the monsters from approaching.
Yinyin and the girls had been waiting around for Su Chen.
Unfortunately, seven days of waiting yielded no results.
As of today.
The girls felt a bit anxious.
Because.
The journey in the Deceptive Realm was nearing its end.
Outside the Deceptive Realm Battlefield.
Guo Cheng spoke, "There’s half a Shichen left until the Deceptive Realm Battlefield closes. Let’s start extracting everyone inside the battlefield."
He was speaking to Lin Qing and Xu Linwei.
Lin Qing and Xu Linwei remained silent, their expressions extremely cold.
Both of their disciples had died inside the Deceptive Realm Battlefield.
One could imagine the emotions in their hearts.
They wanted nothing more than to tear Su Chen to pieces.
Of course, due to differences in strength, they had no choice but to endure.
Just thinking that soon Su Chen would emerge and they would face him directly stirred a deep-seated cold hatred within them.
"Su Chen is about to become the Son of the Emperor. You should understand what that implies, and it’s best to let go of some grudges," Guo Cheng warned, seeing through their thoughts.
"Hmph." Xu Linwei and Lin Qing snorted. They clearly knew what being the Son of the Emperor entailed!!!?
It implied a slight chance of becoming a Great Emperor.
Implied a slight chance to ascend to the Grand Cosmos World.
It also meant attracting the finest of Traceless Heaven’s top-level talents and monsters, accumulating the best martial cultivation resources, and more.
Son of the Emperor.
In Traceless Heaven, there was an ancient Martial Arts Academy known as the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Academy, the Martial Arts Holy Land in Traceless Heaven.
Rumor has it that the Imperial Academy was established by a Great Emperor with extraordinary combat power ten eras ago when the Primordial Continent was still engulfed in martial barbarism.
This Great Emperor is also revered as the martial ancestor of the entire Primordial Continent. All Primordial Continent’s martial legacies stemmed from him. Consequently, this Martial Arts Great Emperor is also respectfully called the Great Emperor of Primordial!!!
Just how powerful is the Imperial Academy, holding the deepest heritage in the entire Primordial Continent? No one really knows.
All that is known is that from the era of barbarism to the Primordial, Ancient, and era of the Primordial Ancient Times, the Primordial Continent has gone through martial disruptions. During each disruption, 99.9999% of the major forces would perish.
Only the Imperial Academy remained standing, consistently unbroken.
