Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 81 The Legacy of King Wu, Crossing the Dead Sea!

"The Body of Crystal".

Jiang Feng silently memorized the name of this realm.

There was a sense of anticipation in my heart.

I wonder if, with the blessing of the Darkborn God's blood, I can accomplish what Fang Ruo said: to temper my martial bones and fuse them with my flesh and blood?

Of course, the prerequisite for this action is that one must first become a martial artist at the ninth level of Body Tempering.

He can't rush things right now.

Lu Hengzhou's interlude has come to an end.

Next, the group from Lancheng were assigned accommodations at No. 1 Middle School by their dedicated instructors.

Tomorrow is the day the ruins will open, so everyone has lost their desire to wander around and play, and instead takes this opportunity to cultivate in their rooms.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

........

The next morning.

At the gate of Suzhou No. 1 High School, 500 students from 13 high schools in Donglinxing had gathered, along with their accompanying teachers, making a grand procession of nearly a thousand people.

Aside from Ding Xiuqi, Luo Feng, Zhang Ruanruan, and others whom Jiang Feng knew, the most noteworthy figures in the other high schools were the leading figures in each team.

Judging from their qi and blood fluctuations, even the weakest among them is at the sixth level of Body Tempering. Apart from Lu Hengzhou, there are three others whose qi and blood fluctuations have faintly reached the eighth level of Body Tempering.

One person stood behind Lu Hengzhou, wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School; one person stood at the front of No. 2 Middle School; and one person was from No. 3 Middle School.

All three of them came from Tianyuan Star, and none of them were natives of Donglin.

In front of Jiang Feng, Ye Weiwei helped him straighten his martial arts uniform one last time and gave him some instructions:

"I can't go with you this time. Be careful in the ruins. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay." Jiang Feng nodded, without saying anything else.

Standing before the crowd were Ge Cheng and Xu Yuan, among other principals at the Meridian Opening Realm.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Katsuragi looked down at the energetic young people below, his loud voice booming in everyone's ears:

"Gentlemen, the outer perimeter of the Martial King's Ruins will be fully opened today. That is the place where a Grandmaster passed away, a place where opportunity and death coexist. Are you... ready?"

The audience immediately erupted in energetic responses from the young people.

"Alright!" Katsuragi Akira laughed. "Then let's go!"

As Ge Cheng finished speaking, the space behind him rippled like water.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the head of a massive ship first emerged from the space, followed by the entire ship filing out and looming over everyone's heads.

"Wow... What a magnificent floating starship."

Looking at the spaceship, Luo Feng couldn't help but gasp.

Jiang Feng's eyes also flashed with intense shock. Although he had long known that starships existed in this future world, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when he saw such a sight for the first time.

Lancheng and Jiangcheng are said to be the same city, but they are only subordinate to Sucheng, so naturally they do not have such strategic-level facilities.

To travel from Donglin Star to other planets in the Southern Star Region, one usually has to transfer to Suzhou first.

The next moment, a beam of particle light shot down from the belly of the starship, and a light ladder gradually solidified.

"Let's go," Xu Yuan called to the students of No. 13 Middle School.

The group began boarding the starship in batches. The starship then took off, its tail thrusters emitting blue flames, instantly breaking through the energy dome of Su City and speeding towards the depths of the wasteland.

About an hour later.

Inside the starship.

"Look over there!"

Yuan Guannan's voice rang out from a distance, and everyone crowded towards the porthole.

At this moment, the sunshade on the edge of the starship had been retracted, revealing a transparent porthole made of some unknown material. Jiang Feng looked down and saw an endless sea with surging black waves.

"This is the 'Dead Sea' that surrounds the ruins of King Wu."

Fang Ruo, who had somehow ended up standing beside them, said with a solemn expression.

Previously, when riding the levitation train high in the sky, this scene was naturally not visible from the public's perspective.

Now, as the starship ventures deeper into the ruins, their full extent is revealed.

"Splash—"

The waves surged and roared.

In the center of the Dead Sea, there is a complex of buildings made of countless broken black metals and boulders, stretching endlessly.

It seemed to defy any known laws of geometry, and the chaotic spatial folds made Jiang Feng feel dizzy after just one glance.

Within the buildings, one can also see a towering, ruined tower that resembles a giant sword disappearing into the clouds.

Even though he had never been there, Jiang Feng knew at a glance that the location of that ruined tower must be the place where the Martial King passed away.

"Hehe, that's not where you're going on this trip." Xu Yuan walked over, saw through everyone's thoughts, and laughed, "That's the true inner perimeter of the ruins, which hasn't been opened yet."

He then changed the subject and reiterated, "For this trip to the outskirts, I have only one requirement for all the students of our No. 13 High School: safety first."

"Spiritual objects and Dao treasures are valuable, but you need to be alive to seize them! Remember this: if you encounter other high school students trying to take your resources, remember... surrender if you can't win, and we'll talk about it when you get back!"

His voice only reached the minds of the 20 students at No. 13 Middle School, and everyone's expression turned solemn as they nodded in agreement.

Jiang Feng chuckled inwardly; this Principal Xu was also someone who deeply understood the essence of the art of survival.

At that moment, Katsuragi's solemn voice rang out throughout the entire starship.

"Attention everyone, we are about to cross the Dead Sea. Whatever you see or hear from here on, do not panic. Staying on the starship is absolutely safe!"

As soon as he finished speaking, within half a minute, everyone felt a sudden weightlessness beneath their feet, and a strong sense of weightlessness washed over them.

The next moment, the previously clear sky suddenly turned pitch black. A violent black rain began to fall abruptly, pounding against the starship, growing heavier and heavier each time.

A thick gray fog slowly rose around the starship.

For a moment, everyone lost sight of the starship in the distance.

"hold head high--!"

"Giggle giggle—"

"Waaah—"

From the depths of the gray fog and the Dead Sea, a vast and terrifying sound resounded.

Remembering Katsuragi's words, everyone left the porthole, found a place inside, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate.

Looking at the extreme weather and the roaring sounds coming from the depths of the ocean, Jiang Feng felt a strange sense of excitement.

He really enjoyed this feeling when he was alive in his previous life.

Beautiful white noise.

At this moment, all the noise, roars, and cheers were damp with rain, like some ancient yet fresh ritual.

Despite these terrifying sounds, the starship indeed moved steadily forward amidst the storm, just as Katsuragi had said.

A dozen minutes later, the enormous starship finally crossed the Dead Sea and landed on a relatively flat patch of black frozen soil at the edge of the Wu King's ruins.

"We've arrived!" Katsuragi's voice rang out again over the loudspeaker.

The students present breathed a sigh of relief and ended their meditation.

The hatch opened, and a cold, biting wind rushed in.

Disembark.

Jiang Feng finally arrived at the ruins of King Wu.
