Shouyue saw Bai Ye come out and smiled, "Are you full?"
Bai Ye nodded, "Full, it was delicious."
Bai Ye sat beside Shouyue, watching the two people sparring in the arena.
Shouyue smiled and introduced, "The one in blue is Brother Kai, and the other is Sister Mulan. She's the one who picked you up from the ancient road."
Bai Ye nodded, "Is this the Great Wall?"
Shouyue nodded, "We are all part of the Great Wall Guard Army."
Bai Ye rested his chin on his hand and pondered. There wasn't just one world with a Great Wall. In Bai Ye's own world, the Great Wall had become a tourist attraction, its only function being for photos. Naturally, there was no Great Wall Guard Army. However, it might not be the same in other worlds.
So, the question arose.
Whose Great Wall was this?
At this moment, Mulan and Kai's spar had ended. They wiped the sweat from their brows with handkerchiefs and walked towards Bai Ye.
"Outsider, are you awake?" Mulan's voice was hearty. Despite being a woman, she possessed an indescribable heroism and spirit. She smiled at Bai Ye and asked, "Do you have a name?"
Bai Ye replied, "Bai Ye."
"That's a pity," Mulan said to Kai, "I thought he, like you, was someone who had forgotten his past and his identity."
"I don't want to have amnesia either," Kai said, putting down his handkerchief. "Li Xin is looking for me, so I have to go. You guys chat."
Bai Ye was taken aback, "Li Xin?"
Shouyue explained, "Yes, Sister Mulan is our captain, and Li Xin is our commander."
Bai Ye rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, "Do you know Lu Bu?"
Shouyue and Kai exchanged a glance, looking bewildered.
"I've heard that name," Mulan said. "East of Chang'an, there is a place called the Land of Three Kingdoms. It's home to many formidable generals, and that Lu Bu is the strongest in the Land of Three Kingdoms. His might is unparalleled in that region, unstoppable. The people there call him the God of War."
Kai's eyes lit up with yearning, "If such a person truly exists, I would really like to spar with him."
Bai Ye thought for a moment, "Are you defending the Great Wall for Chang'an?"
Mulan replied, "No, we are defending the Great Wall for all the people under heaven."
Shouyue added, "Of course, the Great Wall is the gateway to Chang'an, so it's not wrong to say we're defending it for Chang'an. As long as the Great Wall holds, Chang'an will forever be peaceful."
Bai Ye nodded and tentatively asked again, "Is there someone named Sikong Zhen in Chang'an city?"
"Lord Sikong?" Mulan exclaimed. "He is the Empress's right-hand man. Have you heard of him?"
Bai Ye smiled, "The power of lightning?"
Mulan nodded, "Yes, Lord Sikong wields the power of lightning."
That's it!
Bai Ye knew where he was.
This was a very peculiar region, vast in area. As far as Bai Ye knew, it comprised several smaller areas such as the Great Wall, Chang'an, the Land of Three Kingdoms, the Hanging Sky, the City of Sand, and Yunmeng Marsh, forming a massive territory.
Bai Ye wasn't very clear about the background of this region.
After all, there were too many small areas, and each had its own story. The Great Wall had its story, Chang'an had its story, and the Land of Three Kingdoms had its story.
However, Bai Ye knew what the most valuable thing in this region was, and that was—possession!
How valuable was it?
Bai Ye had once experienced the possession of the God of War Lu Bu, a golden quality, capable of slaying gods and buddhas, incredibly powerful.
There were many ways to obtain this possession ability. Forbidden zones and hidden quests could potentially grant it, but the most direct method was a place called the Hero's Tomb.
Within the Hero's Tomb lay the graves of many powerful figures from this region. By passing the trial of the corresponding tomb, one could obtain the possession ability of the respective hero.
Therefore, in his previous life, this region was also called the Hero Region by the chosen ones who entered the world battlefield.
Bai Ye mentioned two names. The God of War Lu Bu, because he had obtained his possession ability through the gacha machine before, and Sikong Zhen, because Bai Ye had obtained Sikong Zhen's possession ability by challenging the Hero's Tomb in his previous life.
He also vaguely remembered the name of the Great Wall commander, Li Xin. It was this name that reminded him that this might be the Hero Region. The reason was that in his previous life, Bai Ye had visited a forbidden zone called the Land of Fallen Gods, a place where darkness and light clashed. A part of Li Xin's power also came from that forbidden zone.
While Bai Ye's thoughts were drifting, Kai had already left due to his errand, and Mulan was looking at Bai Ye with interest.
Suddenly, Mulan spoke, "Bai Ye, can you fight?"
"Huh?" Bai Ye snapped back to attention and looked at Mulan. "I suppose I can, I'm moderately skilled in combat."
Mulan smiled, "I didn't get enough of a fight earlier. Do you want to spar with me?"
"Uh..." Bai Ye scratched his head. "This..."
Mulan smiled and walked to the center of the arena, drawing two short swords from her waist. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
Shouyue smiled at Bai Ye, "I'm not good at close combat, so I can't spar with Sister Mulan. If it's not too much trouble for you, please entertain her."
Bai Ye nodded, "Alright then, let's have some fun."
Bai Ye walked forward and stood opposite Mulan.
Mulan asked, "Do you need me to lend you a weapon?"
"No need," Bai Ye took out his Seven-Colored Rainbow sword box. "I have a weapon."
Mulan smiled, "In that case, here I come. Be careful."
Clang!
The moment Mulan finished speaking, she pushed off with her legs and charged forward.
"Still as the shadow, swift as the wind!"
In an instant, Mulan covered five to six meters and was right in front of Bai Ye.
So fast!
Bai Ye found himself with no chance to draw his sword before the spirited female general was before him, her two short blades slashing at him.
In his haste, Bai Ye could only raise his sword box to block.
Clang!
One short blade struck the sword box with a crisp metallic sound. Immediately, Bai Ye slapped the side of the sword box, and it swung open.
Bai Ye drew a sword from within and slashed forward. But Mulan's reaction was quick. The moment Bai Ye raised his sword, she leaped backward, out of Bai Ye's attack range.
However, the distance Mulan leaped was only within the range of an ordinary sword, and the sword in Bai Ye's hand...
was no ordinary sword!
Bai Ye quickly formed a sword seal, and then the red sword in his hand transformed into a red sword light, shooting forward.
