Chapter 118 Destroying the Holy Race
Luo Zhong gave all the trainees their first task.
[Returned alive]
Everyone understood what this meant, but they also breathed a sigh of relief, at least they still had time to familiarize themselves with the environment.
Hu Tao and Chen Du, along with Chu Wen, arrived at a small hut. The facilities there were very basic, lacking even basic water and electricity, but fortunately, they were War Kings and could ignore such things.
"That scared me to death. I thought they had sent them to the front lines to fight from the very beginning."
Chen Du was still somewhat shaken. He admitted that he had been influenced by his emotions, but when he actually faced these 'monsters' he had never seen before, he was really at a loss.
He had only known about "monsters" for less than a day, and before arriving at the Dark Nest, everything was just speculation.
Chu Wen had a slightly better relationship with Hu Tao and Chen Du at the Longyu training camp, and they would often have meals together. Therefore, they chose to live together so that they could look after each other.
Hu Tao sat on the creaking chair and said in a deep voice, "We're choosing our mentors tonight. According to Instructor Luo, these mentors might not even look at us."
"Even if they think highly of us, they might not be able to take us on a mission. We have to rely on our own efforts."
"I suspect that if Xuanjin City needs to replenish a large number of military troops, it may need to make the Dark Nest's intelligence public."
Chu Wen packed his luggage and agreed, "It's just a matter of time. The news about the Dark Nest can't be kept secret forever. Sooner or later, the public will know about it. I'm afraid that by then, even warrior-level fighters will have to participate in the war."
"I just saw an extremely dense demonic aura in the southwest direction of Xuanjin City. It seems there are still demons in this city. They're probably even demon kings."
"Demon race?" Hu Tao was startled, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
Neither the human nor the demon race can remain unaffected; even those with deep-seated hatred must cooperate when facing a common enemy.
"Did your families tell you anything about the Dark Nest?"
"No, it's completely hidden. We have no idea what it is. This is the first time we've ever heard of 'demons.' Their colors and shapes are so bizarre." Hu Tao said helplessly.
Chen Du then spoke up, "My great-grandfather was probably a guardian of Xuanjin City. But my father only mentioned it to me briefly. The guardian of Xuanjin City is replaced every fifty years. This is to ensure that the star lords have enough time to continue their cultivation and break through to higher realms."
"So there should be more than nine Star Lords. At least the situation of the human race is not that bad. It's just that the core fighting force was cut off in this battle."
With Chen Du's analysis, Chu Wen and Hu Tao were somewhat relieved. At least the human race still had its foundation and time to grow.
"I'm probably tired today, so I'd better rest for a bit. I'm going to see my mentors tonight."
The three of them lay down on their respective wooden beds and began to close their eyes and rest.
Chu Wen, on the other hand, is Suo Da, who communicates with the sea of data.
Soda has recovered from its distraught state. The moment it saw the Dark Nest, it regained a considerable amount of data. However, knowing too much is obviously not a good thing.
It almost went berserk and out of control just now.
"Master, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now." Soda apologized directly in polite language, and Chu Wen understood what it meant.
"Then tell me in detail what this thing is. I definitely can't escape from Earth. Even if I do manage to escape in the end, it will be after everything has been destroyed."
Chu Wen was still unwilling to run away. Everything about Blue Star made him feel at ease. If he ran away, what difference would he be from duckweed?
"Those life forms have a special name, called the 'Destruction Saints,' and they are the great enemy of all species in the Star Sea. As long as the 'Destruction Saints' are born, even the Star Sea will be destroyed."
Chu Wen instantly caught the logical flaw and asked in confusion, "The destruction of the Star Sea? At most, the Destruction Saint Clan can only kill Star Spirits. To destroy the Star Sea, they would at least need to produce a powerhouse at the upper third rank. Star Spirits are only at the lower third rank... not even at the middle third rank."
"So, after I calmed down just now, I also felt strange. Logically speaking, the 'Destruction Saint Clan' shouldn't be that weak. Even the weakest of them, the green demons, should have had the strength of the upper three ranks when they were born. It's impossible that they are only at the level of a warrior general. This is too strange."
"Could it be that the Destruction Saints in the Star Sea gradually broke through from the weak, but by the time people discovered them, it was already too late?"
"Master, the power of the Destruction Saint Race originates from a great rule. The strength determined by the rule cannot be broken. Their strength and weakness were predetermined from the moment they were born, unlike other races. This is beyond doubt. There are many similar descriptions in my database. The strength of the Destruction Saint Race has been determined since their birth."
"That's very strange. Is it possible that you've made a mistake? These things aren't the Destroyer of the Holy Race."
"It should be correct... Or you could try to get close to the Dark Nest. The Chaos Origin Pearl can collect data, and then you can analyze it, which might be more accurate."
Suo Da was now somewhat doubtful, wondering if he had truly mistaken someone else. After all, the Destruction Saint Clan was incredibly powerful, which was why the races of the Star Sea were wary of them. But the Destruction Saint Clan that appeared on Blue Star didn't even have the strength of a mid-to-high-grade cultivator, and could even fight on par with a low-grade cultivator. Clearly, they weren't from the same race.
"What weaknesses do these races have?" Chu Wen asked.
Soda's eyes lit up: "Yes, their source of power is rules, and rules need a vessel to descend into the world. If we destroy their vessel, we should be able to seize their power."
"There must be a vessel for their rules within this dark nest. Find it and destroy it, and we'll win!"
"The Destruction Saints who appeared in the Star Sea in the past were incredibly powerful. It was already a miracle they didn't try to wipe you out; there was no way they would attack their lair. But perhaps the plan here is feasible!"
Chu Wen noted down Suo Da's words, then closed his eyes slightly. He had indeed learned quite a lot of information today, and he needed some time to digest it.
The evening bells rang in Xuanjin City, and the army began to eat. Meanwhile, the members of the Longyu Training Camp, following the previous rules, arrived at an ancient building.
This building is nothing special, except for the two large, elegantly written characters on the front door: "Longyu"!
Most of the mentors were already in place, sitting in seats with their own name tags. Most of the mentors simply wrote down their requirements: those below the intermediate level of the King of War should not disturb.
Others introduce themselves with a poster.
For example, there is a poster of a mentor named "Liang Wu".
Liang Wu, a native of the southern border of the Dragon Kingdom, is a Star Warrior and is skilled in using a long spear.
He has mentored a total of 68 students, of whom 43 successfully graduated, while 25 perished.
Note: Women are not accepted.
Most of the mentors were covered in injuries, with shocking scars visible, most of which hadn't fully healed. It seemed that recruiting students here was at the behest of higher-ups, but whether the students could impress the mentors was another matter entirely.
