119: Go to the First Ecosystem (revised version)

June 27th, 11:00.

After Chen Du took the flight to the Pay-to-Win Martial Arts Hall's airfield, staff transported him and You Zhong to Border City No. 43.

At this moment, Chen Du followed You Zhong out of the circle.

He turned around.

Looking at the Wall of Hope behind him, he felt a strange sense of emotion.

The two had now reached the warning line.

Although he had been out before, it was only a trip within the 10,000-meter warning line.

But this time, he was heading to the distant First Ecological Zone!

Once he stepped across this line, his bracelet would lose most of its functionality.

For example, the most basic information function.

Except for the Seventh Ecological Circle, information from the other eight ecological circles could not be updated in real-time.

Martial Artists from the other eight ecological circles needed to store information from the past week on a device.

Then, it was delivered to the various ecological circles manually.

This information included Martial Artists, entertainment, gaming, military, local news, fringe topics, and so on.

Every industry, everything imaginable.

Because it was delivered manually, there would inevitably be delays and accidents.

The information from the other eight ecological circles received by the Seventh Ecological Circle was generally delayed by one week; if an accident occurred, someone had to be sent again to deliver it.

The information from other ecological circles that Chen Du had seen in the past was at least a week old.

However, he had already subscribed to information about Liang City and Cyber City in the Giant Bear Domain of the Seventh Ecological Circle.

Every time the latest information was delivered to the First Ecological Zone, his bracelet would automatically update.

He then subconsciously glanced at his panel.

Name: Chen Du

Life Strength: Rank 8.9

Mental Energy: Rank 14.2

Fist Strength: 5720 Jin

Speed: 88 m/s

Martial Skill: Flowing Light Sword Technique (Tier 1) 100%, Void Immortal Contemplation Method, War Stomp

Mystic Treasure Count: One

Defense Waves: 5/5 (Completed), 9/10 (Incomplete), 9/15 (Incomplete), 9/20 (Incomplete), 9/25 (Incomplete), 9/30 (Incomplete), 9/35 (Incomplete)

For every 6 Ranks of Life Strength increased, a "Evolution" is obtained; 3.1 Ranks remain until the next evolution.

Chen Du's gaze focused on "9/10 (Incomplete)".

Aside from the Defense Wave rewards, the other information on the panel was not yet ready for a qualitative change.

"Chen Du."

"We are about to cross the warning line, let me test you."

"Every student heading to the Three Top Academies has a different starting point and path."

"How they travel depends entirely on the Advanced Martial Artist or Sky Soaring Warrior like me who is leading them."

"Even I don't know the routes of any of them, or which Border City they are starting from."

"Do you know why?"

Chen Du thought for a moment:

"Spies."

"Within our civilization, there are many humanoid alien civilizations that look similar to our High Martial Civilization."

"Once the route is known in advance, they will be intercepted by other alien civilizations!"

You Zhong looked at the desolation ahead with an unchanging expression:

"Correct."

"Great Civilizations won't care about the actions of Small Civilizations like us, but other Small Civilizations will!"

"The lower-tier and mid-tier civilizations among the Small Civilizations fear us."

"But the upper-tier civilizations, and even the top-tier civilizations that outrank us, are not afraid!"

"They would love to hunt down our Geniuses!"

"Although July 1st to the 20th is the safest time, there are still risks; you must not be careless."

Chen Du nodded, staring ahead, his eyes sharp and focused.

This was presumably the reason why You Zhong chose Border City No. 43 as the starting point instead of Border City No. 56, which was closest to Liang City.

Speaking of Great Civilizations, Chen Du suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Teacher, during the Seven Regions Genius Battle, an alien from the Yun Que Civilization appeared."

"Compared to the Giant Civilization, which one is stronger?"

Chen Du had never fought an alien from the Giant Civilization, only seen them in reports.

The oppression brought by that massive stature was still fresh in his memory.

"I didn't expect you to know about the Yun Que Civilization."

You Zhong chuckled, then replied:

"The Yun Que Civilization."

"The Yun Que Civilization is a Great Civilization second only to the Overlord-level Civilizations."

"Although the Giant Civilization is strong, that's only relative to us."

"If they encounter the Yun Que Civilization, they have to grovel."

"Overlord-level Civilization?"

"Aren't civilizations only divided into Great Civilizations and Small Civilizations?"

Facing Chen Du's confusion, You Zhong explained like a patient teacher:

"Civilizations are indeed only divided into Great Civilizations and Small Civilizations."

"But among the Great Civilizations, there are three extremely strong ones."

"We call these three civilizations Overlord-level Civilizations!"

"Just by hearing the name, you can tell their power is far beyond what our High Martial Civilization can provoke."

"Fortunately, they are very far away from us."

"And they have extremely high standards; it's impossible for them to be interested in our place."

"Instead, the Hunter Civilization, Big Eye Civilization, and Giant Civilization that are near us are very dangerous."

Chen Du nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

So that giant bird was an Overlord-level Civilization.

However, thinking that the other party could eat the terrifying Giant Civilization as food, it wasn't surprising.

As for that alien from the Yun Que Civilization, it also exceeded Chen Du's imagination; it was actually a Great Civilization second only to the three Overlord-level Civilizations.

"Do aliens from the Yun Que Civilization not know Martial Skills?"

"Its appearance was also very strange; it didn't seem to be arranged by the organizers."

Chen Du asked curiously.

After the competition, Chen Du had asked Yan Yun why the Yun Que Civilization didn't know Martial Skills, but unfortunately, the other party refused to talk about it.

"Naturally, they do."

"The Yun Que Civilization alien in your competition was a clone."

"Its original body, like you, was also a Genius of its own civilization."

"However, limited by our technology, the genes for Martial Skills were not cloned."

"As for other questions, the water is a bit deep, so I won't answer you."

Chen Du nodded sensibly and didn't ask further.

After You Zhong finished speaking, he took out a device resembling an eagle claw from his Storage Ring:

"This is a 'Flying Arm'."

Chen Du narrowed his eyes; he didn't see You Zhong open the space of the Storage Ring at all.

Instead, he reached directly into the ring and took out this thing that looked like an eagle claw.

It was obvious that the other party's Storage Ring had better security than his own.

Before Chen Du could think about it further, You Zhong pressed this "eagle claw" directly onto Chen Du's back.

Click.

A mechanical sound rang out; it was as if an eagle claw had grown on Chen Du's back.

The "leg" part of the eagle claw had a ring shape, and he didn't know what it was for.

"There are 18 days left until school starts on July 15th."

"During this 18-day journey, I will try my best to improve your Life Strength."

"The Three Academies Freshman Joint Martial Arts Tournament in August will be attended by all freshman Elite Class students from the Three Top Academies."

Chen Du knew that the so-called Elite Class referred to the Black Dragon Class of Black Dragon Martial Arts University, the Sky Phoenix Class of Tianfeng Martial Arts University, and the Qilin Class of Qilin Martial Arts University.

Those who can enter the Elite Class have at least a B-grade contract!

They must meet one of the three major conditions.

"There are quite a few talents this year; the Geniuses of the Three Academies' Elite Classes total 90 people."

"By then, almost everyone will be a Martial Artist; if you, an A-grade contract holder, are still a Quasi-Warrior, it would be embarrassing."

"So I will choose a more dangerous path."

"Let's go, to the First Ecological Zone ahead!"

After You Zhong finished speaking, he lifted the ring on Chen Du's back and flew up.

Only then did Chen Du understand what that ring was for.

Isn't this just like carrying a pet!

No, are you walking a dog in the air here!
