Calculating the time, if I leave now I can just make it.
So, the old man from the Four-Armed Tribe came to the room where Genjin was practicing in seclusion and asked him to get ready to leave.
"Gengjin, it's time for us to go. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait another year. With your talent, delaying for a year will be an enormous loss." The old man of the Four-Armed Clan said. Of course, there were some things he didn't say, for example, if they supplied Genjin with source blocks for another year, their clan would have to eat dirt.
This human is simply a source-devouring beast, a bottomless pit. The Four-Armed Tribe cannot afford to support him anyway.
Upon hearing this, Gengjin opened his eyes, nodded slightly, then stood up and walked out, coming behind the old man of the Four-Armed Clan.
The two of them walked one after the other through the ancestral land of the Four-Arms Clan, waved goodbye to the Four-Arms Clan members who were seeing them off, and then set out on the road to Blackwater City.
This road was extremely long, and it took them half a month to walk there even with their strength. Although they could reach the destination through a teleportation array, the cost would be too great for the Four-Armed Tribe to afford. Anyway, they had enough time and did not lack these ten days.
During this period, they passed through the territories of powerful families many times and felt the grandeur and power of the big families. They also saw from afar the royal city under the rule of the royal family. It was magnificent and majestic, with a majestic momentum that made the elders of the Four-Armed Clan very envious.
He said: "Once upon a time, our Four-Arms Clan was also glorious and almost became a powerful clan. Unfortunately, our clan fell into decline and decayed little by little, and finally became what it is today."
After the old man of the Four-Armed Clan finished speaking with a long sigh, he looked at Genjin with hope in his eyes. Obviously, he regarded Genjin as the hope for the rise of the Four-Armed Clan.
"In this world, everything is in reincarnation. Rise and fall is an eternal truth. However, there will always be a time to rise again." Hengjin responded.
Although he did not directly state that he would make the Four-Armed Clan glorious again, the old man still understood what Genjin meant.
He just regarded this matter as a transaction, a cause and effect, and a repayment of a favor. After paying off his debt, he would no longer have anything to do with the Four-Armed Clan, and would be like strangers.
After all, Gengjin is a human being, and the blood flowing in his body is not that of the Four-Armed Tribe.
The old man sighed inwardly, feeling very regretful. Why was such a peerless genius young man not a member of the Four-Armed Clan?
After sighing, the two of them set out on their journey again.
After half a month's long journey, they finally arrived at their destination - Blackwater City.
From afar, before they got close, the two saw a huge black shadow standing on the horizon ahead, like a behemoth, standing at the end of the earth. No matter how time passed and how the years eroded it, it would never be destroyed and would remain immortal.
This is Blackwater City, one of the ten famous cities in foreign lands. It is ruled by the immortal king Romo. It is the most prosperous city in a large area and a place longed for by countless races.
When approaching the ancient city, many powerful people would bow down and kowtow to this immortal ancient city with every step in order to express their awe.
Fortunately, the old man from the Four-Armed Clan does not belong to this group of creatures, otherwise, everyone would have to kowtow to him.
Looking ahead, Blackwater City is not the biggest thing. There is an even larger shadow standing quietly in the endless distance behind it.
It was a majestic ancient tree, blocking out the sun and seeming to cover the sky.
Everyone knows that this is the world tree from another world. It is lush and prosperous, and extremely mysterious. It can be reflected in the sky of this world and can be seen by all living beings.
Its main body is located in the center of a foreign land. It is huge and boundless. Its roots, branches, leaves, etc. can all hold up the sun, moon, and stars, stretching to all places, emitting an extremely rich essence of heaven and earth.
It is precisely because of the existence of the World Tree that the void, mountains and rivers of the foreign land will be so stable, the great way of heaven and earth will be complete, and the strength of the cultivators will be strong. This is the foundation of the strength of the interface.
As they approached Blackwater City, the elder from the Four-Armed Clan began to tell Genjin about his experience in participating in the selection for the internal cultivation position at the God of War Academy, and informed him of some matters that required his attention.
“There are more than a dozen realms from the Qi Eater to the Quasi-Supreme, sharing these 1,000 places. The number of places in each realm is very limited.
There are two ways to get a seat. One is to establish oneself in the Qi-Eating Realm and compete with the Qi-Eating Realm geniuses sent by many major clans around Blackwater City for the only fifty places in the Qi-Eating Realm.
The other one is above the Qi-Eating Realm. He directly names and challenges a genius who originally occupied a seat. As long as he wins, he can take his place.
Generally speaking, after a year of practice, the creatures in the Air-Eating Realm who enter the God of War Academy will enter a higher realm.
Therefore, in the second year's selection, the only challenge missing was the Qi-Eating Realm, as the geniuses at this realm needed to compete with a pack of wolves.
I participated in the selection at the Qi-Eating Realm, and I had seen hope of success, but my fate was not good. My last opponent was a young genius from the royal family, and I was defeated in the end. "The old man of the Four-Armed Clan sighed, feeling regretful. If he had better luck at that time and met a young genius from a powerful family, perhaps his fate would have been rewritten, and the Four-Armed Clan would not be in such a miserable state now.
"Senior, if this is the case, wouldn't there be fifty more creatures than the one thousand last year? After all, fifty fresh bloods of the Qi-Eating Realm will flow in every year." Genjin asked doubtfully.
“Not many. The cultivators in the Ares Academy are all geniuses. Every year, a small number of them die for some reason.
The fresh blood that flows in from the Qi-Eating Realm will fill the vacancies very well. If the number of people eventually exceeds one thousand, the academy will eliminate the extra creatures according to the principle of survival of the fittest. After all, everything in the academy is prepared according to the specifications of one thousand people and takes the elite route.
Of course, if the number of people does not reach one thousand, the best ones will be selected from the eliminated creatures to fill the vacancies.
In short, the number of one thousand seats per year will not change. "The Four-Armed Clan elder patiently explained.
Hengjin understood and nodded slightly, "I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion, Senior."
“Nothing. After entering the God of War Academy, you must make good use of your strengths and show your talents to obtain more resources and become as powerful as possible.
You will not be able to sit back and relax with the quota changes every year, as there will inevitably be many challengers. The reason is that you are human. In their eyes, humans are lowly, weak, and a race of slaves. If you want to get rid of this label, you need absolutely strong strength.
In addition to the issue of quotas, there is also internal competition, external competition, and so on.
Internal competition includes competition for resources, competition for the title of "God of War", and the opportunity to meet Lord Romo or the Immortal Lord of the Romo family. As long as you are amazing enough, it is not impossible to see Lord Immortal King and Lord Immortal in person.
External competition covers a wide range, such as the annual college ranking battle and the ranking battle among individuals of the same level.
Every battle can bring a lot of resources to the monks, but they all require strong strength to fight for. "
Genjin nodded. From the description of the elder from the Four-Armed Clan, he felt the cruel rules of cultivation in the foreign land where the fittest survived. This was exactly the model he liked.
Who wouldn’t want to rely on real strength to break through the siege and create a legend?
This is a normal phenomenon in foreign lands, but it is different in the fairyland and the primitive ancient world.
The difference between them lies in that the fairyland and the primitive ancient world pay great attention to the background, and often beat the younger ones and attract the older ones. Once they become enemies, there will be endless troubles. Therefore, the creatures in these two worlds need to understand some human relationships and worldly ways. Many times, even if they have talent and strength, they dare not show it to the fullest for fear of being envied.
However, in foreign lands, these things do not exist.
As long as the younger generation's fight is a normal one and they don't use foul play, even if they die, it is because they are not as skilled as their opponents. No supreme, immortal or immortal king will pay for the failure of their descendants or seek revenge.
What they need is a steady supply of strong people, just like raising Gu. No matter which family the Gu King who laughs last comes from, as long as it can enhance the strength of the foreign land, they will gladly accept it.
This is the foreign land, a huge and terrifying war machine. From the fall of the emperor to the ancient immortals, it has destroyed countless worlds, and has fought wars in the south and the north, never stopping.
The endless invasion has kept them on guard for war all the time, causing the powerful aliens to always have a very long-term vision. Unlike the primitive ancient world and other interfaces, they are content with being in a corner and do not have a strong sense of preparedness for danger.
This is the fundamental reason why the cultures of several interfaces are different.
As the two talked, they gradually approached Blackwater City.
You can see that the towering city walls stand above the earth, as high as mountains and majestic. Around the city walls, there are actually huge stars floating, and there is also a long dark river rolling and rushing around the city.
It was the extremely rich power of the Taiyin that turned into a river, and it was also the origin of the name of Blackwater City.
Legend has it that countless years ago, when the immortal king Luo Mo cultivated the power of the moon and achieved perfection, such a long river evolved outside this city. From then on, this huge city was named Blackwater City.
In order to fit in with his savage persona, Genjin deliberately acted shocked when he looked at the huge Blackwater City.
The old man from the Four-Armed Tribe was not surprised at all when he saw this. After all, in his knowledge, this human boy had always lived in the wilderness and had rarely seen a small tribe like their Four-Armed Tribe.
It was understandable that I was shocked when I first came to Blackwater City, one of the top ten famous cities and home to the Immortal King.
He then acted as a guide and began to tell Genjin about this magnificent ancient city.
"Senior, is the God of War Academy in Blackwater City?" Genjin suddenly asked.
The old man from the Four-Armed Clan shook his head.
“The War God Academy is outside the city, a supreme place. It is also the ancestral land where Lord Luo Mo is in seclusion. Without special reasons, you cannot approach it rashly, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation.
We have to wait until the academy selection begins before we can go there.
We have other things to do before that.”
He pointed at Genjin and continued, "You come from the Great Wilderness, you have no tribe, and you are a very rare human.
If you want to enter the God of War Academy, you must first resolve the identity issue, so we must go to Blackwater City first."
It suddenly dawned on him that the human race was too conspicuous in foreign lands, and anyone would be suspicious of someone like him who suddenly appeared.
Now, it depends on how the old man from the Four-Armed Clan operates.
When the two arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the monks guarding the city as expected.
The alien creatures coming in and out of the surroundings immediately noticed the conspicuous Hengjin. How could a young man from a slave tribe be free? They were very confused and puzzled.
Some creatures even led their own human slaves as they passed by, staring at the Four-Armed Clan old man and Genjin in surprise, while the human slaves next to them glanced at him in surprise. They were all humans, but their situations were so different.
Genjin ignored the strange looks from those around him and watched the old man from the Four-Armed Clan communicating with the guards at the city gate very calmly. Even if some passing creatures licked their lips at him provocatively with murderous eyes, he didn't care.
Not long after, the guard at the city gate looked at Gengjin coldly, full of contempt, and then told him to pass.
The old man from the Four-Armed Tribe immediately pulled Genjin and joined the crowd of pedestrians.
"Don't worry about it. In this world, the status of the human race is already low. The vast majority are slaves of the imperial family, the royal family, and the noble family. Only a very small number of people are free."
"Don't worry, senior. I know all this. If you want to change your destiny, you have to demonstrate your talent, strength, and value." Genjin replied.
"It's great that you have such an understanding. Next, we are going to an important place in Blackwater City to get you an identity.
If you don't have an identity, and you are taken to the War God Academy, people will think you are here to send off the warriors." The old man of the Four-Armed Clan nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the city and said.
"Warriors" are the lowest existences in the Ares Academy. They are usually composed of creatures who have committed unforgivable sins from major families and creatures from slave races. They are used for the one thousand students of the Ares Academy to compete, practice, and research.
As a "warrior", you have no status or freedom at all, and your life is as fragile as dust and can be taken away at any time.
In the original novel, Shi Hao used to be a warrior in the War God Academy. If it weren't for his strong strength, he would have fallen long ago. In the end, he became a war god in shackles, who could reap the lives of foreign geniuses even though he was sealed.
"Let's go. There are still three days until the selection. We don't have much time."
"Ah."
The two of them were walking on the streets. Perhaps because the God of War Academy was about to start the selection process, the streets of Blackwater City were crowded with cars and people coming and going, making it more lively than ever.
Sometimes, when you meet a combination of an old and a young person, you can tell without guessing that the younger one must be here to participate in the academy selection.
Chapter 91 Killing
When the two came to a relatively deserted street, Gengjin saw a tall building shrouded in black fog, standing alone on the land in the distance.
With this building as the center, there is no trace of a second building within a few miles. It is just a bare open space. Occasionally, a mysterious black light can be seen flashing across the open space.
“That’s where Blackwater City holds serious criminals. It’s called Blackwater Prison. It’s deep underground in Blackwater City and has existed for several epochs. It’s very strong and the creatures held there are all extremely powerful serious criminals. It’s said that immortal creatures are held in the deepest part of Blackwater Prison.
Once you enter that prison, there is almost no chance of getting out, which is equivalent to a death sentence." The old man of the Four-Armed Clan explained.
Genjin nodded. He had heard of this sky prison before. It was the place where Shi Hao was imprisoned after being escorted back to the foreign land.
The environment inside was indeed horrifying, especially the deepest cell. If the body was imprisoned, even a creature as strong as that at the first level of escape would turn into a pool of pus in a very short period of time, with no remains left.
After crossing several streets, they finally arrived at their destination.
Led by the elder of the Four-Armed Clan, they entered a magnificent hall.
"Gengjin, this is Senior Tuoba, who is in charge of the identity of slave races. He has one quarter of the blood of the supreme Luo clan. Why don't you come and pay your respects to Senior Tuoba?"
