Chapter 297: Chapter 283 Helper

Zhou Leng’s gaze roamed on the Blue Dragon, he took out the Demonized Kitchen Knife and proceeded to slice it into eight pieces.

Dragon scale, dragon skin, dragon meat, dragon blood, dragon bone, etc., all have extremely high value.

Dragon meat is the top-tier main ingredient of meat herbal cuisine in the Ten Realms, even classified separately as dragon meat cuisine, never circulated in the market.

Having finished everything, Zhou Leng set off, running while examining the items carried by the Blue Dragon.

The Giant Dragon is truly a moving treasure trove.

Inside, there were large quantities of gems, gold, and a few Star Conches, some weapons of Giants and Beastmen, various magic potions, Dragon Blood Medicine, and even three types of Innate Promotion Pills of the Dragon Race and a Giant’s Treasure Ore Medicine.

The three types of Promotion Pills are the Dragon Blood Tree Fruit, True Dragon Egg, and Magma Blood.

Except for Magma Blood, which occasionally circulates in the market, Dragon Blood Tree Fruit and True Dragon Egg can only be obtained through numerous Dragon Race trials and are never traded outside.

Any Dragon Race member daring to trade these two medicines would face the death penalty.

Measured in Long Guoyuan, each is worth over a billion, or even more.

After a while, Zhou Leng sighed softly.

In the Blue Dragon’s Magic Spirit Bag, there were also human, dwarf, and tree-man and even Demon Spirit Master’s items, including some human Pills.

This Blue Dragon had killed quite a few people in and out of the youth battlefield.

Zhou Leng hadn’t eaten Leopard Tendon Pills for several days; he took out one and ate it.

He then selected some magic potions from the dwarves and tree-men to strengthen the body and consumed them consecutively.

The magic potion of the tree-men was all made from the Water of Life.

All magic potions can enhance life force, extend lifespan, and are among the most popular magic potions in the Ten Realms.

As soon as he consumed them, it felt like returning to the state of Spiritual Energy Limit, with every cell in his body cheering ecstatically.

The rich power of life repaired the slight injuries the body had accumulated in recent days.

He circulated Qi Blood to digest the medicinal power.

After digesting this batch of medicine, the body’s limit slightly improved again.

Zhou Leng did not feel surprised; his senior brother Guan Canglong was comparable to a Great Innate while still in the Late Stage of Life Force, and he himself was still far from that.

Noticing that he considered Guan Canglong as his senior brother, he felt a slight confusion, then immediately accepted it calmly.

He and the Three Sons of Ancient River reunited at the Ancient River Sect, crossing a hundred billion years, and could be considered fellow disciples.

However, he didn’t understand why, among so many Gu River Sect disciple phantoms, he felt an inexplicable closeness to Guan Canglong.

He couldn’t say precisely why the closeness was there.

“Perhaps the direction in martial arts is similar?”

Zhou Leng continued to run, bypassed a mountain, and saw a group of humans fighting an Earth Spirit.

It was a spirit body monster standing ten meters tall, its body like black jelly, resembling a giant ape without legs, with its abdomen embedded in the ground, which allowed it to move only at an extremely slow pace.

On the mountain wall behind the Giant Ape Earth Spirit, plants resembling climbing vines were clinging, bearing a dozen blue-purple fruits, resembling large blueberries.

A total of nine people were fighting the Giant Ape Earth Spirit, consisting of three Caucasians, two Dragon Country people, one Elephant Country person, two gray people, and one who seemed to be from the Southeast Asia Monkey Country.

Zhou Leng had originally wanted to gather information about Hundred Peaks Valley, so he called out loudly, “Zhou Leng from Dragon Country, do you all require assistance?”

The nine people were already in a difficult situation, and after fighting for a long time, they couldn’t make any headway against the Giant Ape Earth Spirit.

Seeing it was a human, they immediately invited him.

“Since we’re all human, let’s join forces, everyone can have a share.”

“It’s too dangerous for you alone; join us instead.”

“Alright.” Zhou Leng walked forward quickly, looked ahead, and observed everyone’s abilities.

Except for the two gray people who were somewhat reckless, with strong bodies but weak techniques, the rest were obviously experts.

At least at the level of the top one or two in ordinary cities, with a high Martial Arts Index.

Zhou Leng wanted to go all out but noticed that the Monkey Country person and the two Caucasians were scanning him warily, so he restrained his True Qi, maintaining a level of strength similar to theirs.

He rushed in close to join the fray.

Once an expert makes a move, the others immediately recognize solid fundamentals.

“Your skills are impressive; how come I’ve never heard your name in Dragon Country? I’m Pang Yu, a third-year at Jinjing University, currently acting as the team leader,” Pang Yu said with a smile.

“I wasn’t qualified to join the youth battle; I accidentally ended up here during the Ancient River Trial,” Zhou Leng replied.

“Did you come in with Zhang Xinglie and the others?”

“Yes, we are friends. Do you know Zhang Xinglie?”

“I’ve crossed paths with him during a match between Yunhua and Jinjing, and I managed to win by one move, though it might not be the case now.”

With Zhang Xinglie as a link, Pang Yu became more enthusiastic, and the others, seeing their teammate’s approval, let go of their wariness.

Zhou Leng looked at the Giant Ape Earth Spirit.

This Giant Ape Earth Spirit had innate strength, but there was nothing particularly special about it; it was purely its large size, long arms, tremendous power, and fast punches.

The crowd couldn’t kill it; they were often hit and injured.

Everyone bore injuries.

“Do you have any tactics?” Zhou Leng asked.

Pang Yu explained, “We’ve discussed several tactics, but none worked; now, we can only rely on brute force.”

“Indeed,” Zhou Leng couldn’t think of any effective tactics either for the time being.

Someone said, “The Earth Spirit’s time out of the ground is limited; as long as we keep depleting its power, it won’t be long before we finish it off.”

“Such Earth Spirits often appear in the youth battlefield; they can’t be killed, but once their power is exhausted, they’ll retreat underground.”

Zhou Leng asked while fighting, “What treasures does the youth battlefield have? I’ve only seen trial takers all the way, no treasures at all.”

A few people smiled.

“Don’t get any ideas. Do you see these tall mountains? Except for the highest one, each mountain peak has some treasure.”

“Since the youth battle began, all the races of the Ten Realms combined have only gotten three items.”

“Don’t think others are weak.”

“The real reason is that the exotic beasts guarding the treasures have grown extraordinarily strong over the countless years of proliferation here.”

Zhou Leng understood in his heart that this was the Ancient River Sect’s trial ground, spanning nearly a hundred billion years in the past.

Even if the exotic beasts are restrained, with limits on their numbers and strength, they are still stronger than a hundred billion years ago.

Take this Giant Ape Earth Spirit, for example; it’s somewhat too strong.

Ten people spent a full hour, depleting their True Qi repeatedly and taking turns to recover, before finally exhausting the strength of the Giant Ape Earth Spirit.

The Giant Ape Earth Spirit roared furiously and withdrew underground.

The ten collected some unknown blue-purple fruits and used demonized instruments to test them.

“The toxicity is very low, it can be eaten.”

“Half of us will eat, and the other half will stand guard.”

“The things here are basically non-toxic, all prepared by the Starfield Sect for the trial takers.”

“All the medicinal fruits here are very potent.”

“What good fortune.”

After eating, five people meditated on the spot.

The skin of five people turned blue-purple, with True Qi steaming from their heads.

Zhou Leng and four others stood guard.

“This should be the legendary Blue Purple Fruit. Although its properties are unclear, its effect is intense, no less than a million-level elixir.”

“That good?”

“This is the Starfield Sect’s trial ground. The creeping tiger vine has propagated for who knows how many generations and grown for who knows how many years, it’s normal.”

“Didn’t anyone take the whole plant?”

“Someone tried before, but it couldn’t survive outside. Later, the Ten Realms strictly ordered only mature fruits to be picked, forbidding uprooting.”

Zhou Leng took the opportunity of everyone’s downtime to ask again, “How is the ranking here calculated?”

“There are many ways. For example, defeating an Earth Spirit or collecting medicinal fruits will both enhance the ranking.”

“Also, killing other trial takers can increase the ranking, but we are not those savage lives, no need to slaughter one another.”

“That’s about it.”

“How are the other forces doing here?” Zhou Leng asked.

“You must be careful of Sea Sirens, Demons, and Beastmen, and if you encounter them, be decisive. It is said that in some youth battles, thousands were killed, leaving less than a thousand.”

“Why are there so many people in this youth battle?”

“You… oh, you’re an accidental intruder…”

So, under Zhou Leng’s deliberate questioning, everyone talked about matters regarding the youth battlefield.

Before long, Zhou Leng collected a lot of useful information.

Zhou Leng originally planned to say goodbye after gathering information but unexpectedly heard a very bad piece of news.

The Spine-headed Demon Dragon, Deep Dark Fury, gathered some demons and occupied the highest mountain, using it as a base to raid nearby creatures of other tribes.

The strength of Deep Dark Fury is well known across the Ten Realms.

Innate is divided into True Liquid Period, Blood Shock Period, Bone Forging Stage, and Muscle Stage.

They correspond to enhancements of Qi, blood, body, and power respectively.

It was reported that he could easily defeat True Liquid Innate Demons, and his actual strength is likely Blood Shocking Innate.

Zhou Leng believed that with his abilities, he could hold his own against a True Liquid Innate without Odd Body.

But encountering a Blood Shocking Innate, he would certainly lose.

The destructive power of the Blood Shock Period is a whole level higher.

The Martial Arts Index of the True Liquid Period ranges from 12 to 16.

The Martial Arts Index of the Blood Shock Period is at least 17, reaching up to 20.

Deep Dark Fury’s Starry Sky Bloodline is equivalent to human martial artists cultivating Stellar Inheritance from youth, naturally surpassing all trial takers.

It’s comparable to Li Shenkong, who had a complete Stellar Inheritance last year.

What’s most distressing to other trial takers is that Deep Dark Fury not only has a body equivalent to the Innate level but also masters spells.

Facing him is effectively facing two enemies.

He also has a large group of subordinates.

Zhou Leng made a rough estimate.

The Ancient River Sect’s legacy is very powerful, undoubtedly no less than Deep Dark Fury’s Starry Sky Bloodline.

However, Zhou Leng has only been cultivating for one month, which is too short to comprehend the essence of the “Star Gazing Technique”; his basic skills remain at the average Seven Flashes level.

The Sea Suppressing True Qi hasn’t completely transformed.

If he had Elder Song’s basic skills, he certainly could take down Deep Dark Fury.

Right now, he is indeed slightly inferior.

Obtaining the Tiger Talisman alone is too dangerous; he needs to find some allies and plan carefully.

Zhou Leng surveyed the others; these people cooperated well.

As for strength, they’re slightly weaker than the disciples from the Ancient River Sect.

The Martial Arts Index of these people is about 11.5, while the average Ancient River Sect disciples’ index is at least 11.9.

After the five absorbed the medicinal power, Zhou Leng and the other four meditated and consumed medicine.

Zhou Leng swallowed the Blue Purple Fruit and circulated the Sea Suppressing True Qi.

The Sea Suppressing True Qi trembled slightly and suddenly accelerated.

Strands of blue-purple Spiritual Qi entered the blood vessels and veins, circulating rapidly.

The Sea Suppressing True Qi inexplicably became stronger.

Zhou Leng immediately understood.

This place is the trial ground of the Ancient River Sect, and all treasures are prepared for the disciples of the Ancient River.

This Blue Purple Fruit is specifically for enhancing the True Qi of the Ancient River Sect.

As the blue-purple True Qi continuously merged, the total amount of Sea Suppressing True Qi increased, and the density also enhanced, forming compressed True Qi.
