Chapter 1 Is This a Prison or a Game Training Base?

Jing Yan was dumbfounded. Was this a prison or a game training base?

They even based meals on game realm? One meal a day was already bad enough, but at least make it a large, filling portion! This measly amount of food was trying to starve those trash who haven't even reached the Houtian realm!

But what shocked Jing Yan the most was the content of note 3.

The United Council…

They imprisoned him here, not by the [Network Association], but by an even higher level, representing the power center of Jianghai City, and even the whole country: the [United Council]!

Jing Yan laughed miserably. This wasn't a case of the thief crying 'stop thief!' This was the government arresting the thief!

And he was the thief, not the Tengli Group.

Did he want to survive? Of course, he did!

But first… he had to get a decent meal!

At least… he could eat well in the game…

Driven by hunger and the will to survive, Jing Yan finished his meal, drank some water from the showerhead, patted his cheeks to clear his head, and lay on the bed to enter the game.

Goal: To live a life with food and vegetables!!!

…

Inside the game, Jing Yan slowly opened his eyes.

The first things he heard were chaotic cries for help and shouts of killing. Outside the window, dark shadows loomed, and the light of the human soul fire illuminated the scene, making it seem like a dance of ghosts and monsters.

His heart skipped a beat, and Jing Yan finally remembered that he had spent several days in the real world before entering the game.

And now… it was exactly the time when the [Coffin-Pulling Ghoul] had arrived in Qing Si County with his army of ghouls!

Judging from the situation outside, Qing Si County seemed to have… fallen?!

Jing Yan was shocked and trembled all over, his face turning pale.

He knew what would happen in reality if he died in the game!

He also knew how dangerous it was after an army of ghouls entered the village.

"Ye Ge… I just need to find Ye Ge for protection…"

When it was a little quieter outside, he opened the door with trembling hands. When he looked up, Jing Yan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his mind was greatly shaken.

"Bai! Xiao! Ya!!"

In mid-air, under the pouring rain and flashes of lightning…

You Sisi's blood-stained figure fell from the sky.

Han Daren's head happened to be crushed by a long-haired girl with a single hand, turning into a rain of blood.

A black shadow soared into the sky with a furious roar. A huge black wing rose behind him, and a two-meter-long black blade pierced straight toward the long-haired girl!

In that instant, time seemed to freeze within a ten-meter radius around the black-winged figure!

The thunder in the dark clouds seemed to spread in slow motion.

In the heavy rain, the raindrops also seemed to slow down, gradually stopping their flow. Also, frozen in place was the long-haired girl!

Only the black-winged figure was moving in this frozen time! Like an arrow released from a bow, he shot out!

*Puchi!!!*

The black blade pierced through the long-haired girl’s chest!

The scene seemed to freeze.

The heavy rain around the black-winged figure resumed its flow, and the raindrops poured down.

Everything returned to normal.

"Ye… Ge?" Jing Yan muttered in stunned disbelief.

…

Three days ago.

Qing Si County.

Fang Yue heavily listened to the latest system notification and exhaled deeply.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Nightsea Dawn] for successfully cultivating [Blazing Heart Sutra] to the ninth level. Inner force increased by 1000 points, Yuli increased by 150 points, and Xieli increased by 100 points."

The ninth level of the Blazing Heart Sutra had finally been broken through!!

Everything was going much smoother than he had imagined.

Fang Yue excitedly waved his small fist.

Yay!.jpg!

Not easy, not easy.

After obtaining the Blazing Heart Sutra, Fang Yue had been working hard to cultivate it and had finally broken through!!

Fang Yue was excited, but it took him a while to calm down.

First, he opened the attribute list.

"Name: Nightsea Dawn."

"Realm: Xiantian Third-Rate."

"State: Ghoul Curse [Black Rain]."

"Health: 1800/1800."

"Inner Force: 3600/3600."

"Yuli: 1790 [Base: 1770] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Xieli: 1740 [Base: 1720] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Comprehension: 5. [Special Attribute]"

"Talent: Breath of the Night [Human Grade High]."

"Skills: Aura, Eye of Analysis [Human Grade Low], Nine Cycle Chain Blade [[Fragmented] Houtian Third-Rate], Starfire Blade Technique 1st Level [Houtian Third-Rate], Watersky Blade Technique 1st Level [Crude Martial Art], Blazing Heart Sutra [Houtian First-Rate/Ninth Level], Starfire Heart Sutra 3rd Level [Houtian Third-Rate/Max Level]."

"Lifespan: 25 years, 6 months."

It worked!

Although the lifespan consumption was high, the speed of cultivation was ridiculously fast.

Fang Yue really didn't know where Ma Zuo got so many high-quality pills. When a pill-addict like him, who had no drug resistance, consumed them, he took off straight into the sky.

He glanced at the effects of the maxed-out Blazing Heart Sutra.

"Name: Blazing Heart Sutra."

"Level: Houtian First-Rate."

"Layer: Ninth Layer."

"Restrictions: 50 points of Yuli."

"Description: A large amount of lifespan will be consumed during cultivation. Ignite the lifespan, self-immolation with raging flames, body training with burning heart, and the heart sutra will be formed."

"Effect 1: Increases 300 points of Yuli. Damage is increased in the [Self-Immolation] state."

"Effect 2: The inner force accumulated on weekdays can be stored in the [Blazing Jade Hook]. A one-time burst, casting [Blazing Blast], will have serious sequelae. Do not use it lightly."

"Note: A heart sutra exclusive to long-lived species. Come if you dare!"

The Blazing Heart Sutra was strong!

It directly added 300 points of Yuli!

That was to say, with the directly permanent inner force, he had nearly 2100 points of Yuli. This was a leap in strength compared to when he had just advanced to the Xiantian realm.

The only pity was that he still seemed to be a bit far from reaching the Xiantian Second-Rate realm.

What Fang Yue lacked now were heart sutras and martial skills.

But there was no need to rush. He opened his friend information.

Fang Yue found that Jing Yan had already written the situation of the [Coffin-Pulling Ghoul] in the message.

He also said that Jing Yan was going offline because he had something to do and asked him to protect his character.

Fang Yue rolled his eyes. This was the Azure Division. You can go offline and hide in a house. Was there a safer place than the Azure Division?

The answer was no. With him, a Xiantian realm expert, and Tian Erjun here, who in Qing Si County dared to say that the Azure Division was the second safest when they were the first?

He casually replied to Jing Yan, telling him to find a room to go offline, and Fang Yue pushed the door open and went out.

Well, the night sky was nice tonight.

Most importantly, he was in a good mood!

With the Blazing Heart Sutra at its max level, although he didn't have a Xiantian realm heart sutra to support him, he also had a nuclear weapon in his grasp. Could an ordinary Blood-level ghoul withstand it with one blast? They couldn't!

Although he had to use [Time Reversal] to recover health…

"Parchment!"

[What? Don’t disturb the great and noble Parchment Lord's sleep!]

"Praise me!"

[……]

"Praise me!!!"

[It's just maxing out the Blazing Heart Sutra, you haven't even advanced to…]

"Praise me!!!!"

[…Good job.]

"Hehe, it's just so-so. Look, all of Fang Yue's achievements today are due to my hard work and diligence! Right?"

[I treat you like a human, why do you treat yourself like an idiot? Angry!! When will idiotic children stand up!!]
