Chapter 193: The Mysterious City Deep Within the Realm

"Awaken, it is hunting time!"

"Let us hunt those who have fallen into the darkness!"

"I know not where the wind on the ancient path rises, but it travels toward home."

"All things in the world are tied to a single arrow."

After shaking off Duan Ling, Ye Lin ventured deep into the Weeping Soul Realm. The monsters here were generally level 40 or 50, far beyond what any freshman could handle, so Ye Lin had no fear of encountering others and acted without restraint.

Holding the Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow, he would fire an arrow at any monster he saw, then unleash Endless Devour to consume them.

It must be said that the monster density in an exclusive realm controlled by the Great Xia Academy was absurd. Especially deeper in, there was a common monster every three steps and a high-level one every five.

This was far more concentrated than monsters in the wild, saving him the trouble of searching for them.

At this rate, by the time the Weeping Soul Realm closed, he could raise his level by at least three.

The further one progressed, the harder it was to level up. If not for entering the Weeping Soul Realm, it would have taken Ye Lin at least a month or two to gain these three levels.

"We common folk~ are truly, truly happy today~"

Ye Lin hummed a tune and fired another arrow, instantly finishing off yet another monster.

Where monsters were few, he relied on arrows; where they were many, he threw Forbidden Spells.

As far as his eyes could see, any monster he spotted could not escape death.

There was no day or night in the underground karst caves, and Ye Lin did not know how long he had been killing monsters.

His level had risen twice, reaching level 52.

Feeling mentally exhausted, Ye Lin discarded his brain, then activated Undying Body to grow a new one, continuing his new round of slaughter against the monsters.

He had now reached the deepest part of the Weeping Soul Realm, where Ye Lin even encountered monsters as high as level 70.

Even for the current Ye Lin, he needed to go all out to kill them.

After crossing a tide of monsters, Ye Lin discovered that a massive city had appeared before him!

And from the architecture within, it was not hard to tell that this was a human city!

Ye Lin was shocked. Could it be that humans were still surviving deep within the Weeping Soul Realm?

How was this possible? This place was crawling with terrifying monsters. Unless everyone in this city was a level 90 powerhouse, living in such a place was pure suicide.

Ye Lin took a deep breath. He did not want to alert the enemy, so he activated Great Void Art and approached the city silently.

When Ye Lin saw the scene inside the city, his pupils shrank, and he could not hide his shock.

Because there were truly many humans in this city—at least a million. These humans looked no different from those in the outside world.

However, because they lived in underground caves and never saw sunlight, their skin was a strange, snowy white, and one could even clearly see the blue veins beneath.

"Not a single Class-Changer?"

Ye Lin was astonished. He wandered the city for a long time, but everyone he encountered was an ordinary person with no power fluctuations whatsoever.

Even more surprising to Ye Lin was that the city had no walls and no defensive forces.

To Ye Lin, this city was bizarre in every way. How could a human city with no Class-Changers, no walls, and no guards survive in the depths of the Weeping Soul Realm, where monsters were everywhere?

It was as unbelievable as a beautiful woman in a black silk camisole and short shorts going camping alone in India for a month and returning a virgin.

To figure out what was going on, it seemed he had to start with the locals.

To avoid suspicion due to his different skin tone, Ye Lin found a clothing shop, stole a wide robe to cover his face and body, and then appeared on the main street.

People on the street hurried along with numb expressions. No one spoke or conversed; they went about their duties like walking corpses. Most were female, with very few males.

No one spared a glance for Ye Lin, as if he were air.

"Hello, fellow villager. I have severe constipation and have lost my memory. May I ask where this is?"

Ye Lin stopped a passerby and asked politely.

A glimmer of light that Ye Lin could not understand flickered in the passerby's hollow eyes.

"What did you say? You have a physical illness?"

"Yes, I lost my memory, so I don't remember where this is." Ye Lin nodded.

At this, the passerby's eyes lit up like two lightbulbs.

"Come quickly! There's someone here with an illness! Help catch him! We haven't met this year's quota yet!"

Hearing that Ye Lin was ill, the surrounding passersby stopped in their tracks.

They surrounded Ye Lin with hostile glares. Those fierce eyes did not look human at all; they looked more like a pack of wolves that had smelled blood.

Ye Lin's scalp tingled. He felt as if this group wanted to tear him apart and eat him alive.

Seeing them pounce, Ye Lin did not want to alert the enemy, so he used his superior agility to shake them off. After all, these people were just ordinary folk.

"What's going on? And what is this 'quota'?"

After shaking them off, Ye Lin's mind was full of questions. This city was truly bizarre.

It seemed that to understand what was happening, asking directly wouldn't work; he had to catch someone and ask them alone.

Ye Lin already had a guess in his heart, but he needed to verify it.

Ye Lin randomly picked a target on the street and dragged them into a corner.

The one he caught was a teenage boy, but the boy was not afraid at all; instead, he looked at Ye Lin with a dull expression.

"Why did you grab me?"

"Speak! What is going on with this city? Why isn't there a single Class-Changer? And why haven't you all been slaughtered by monsters?" Ye Lin asked coldly.

"How could such a question come out of your mouth?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. He grabbed Ye Lin's hand excitedly and asked.

"You! You're from the outside, aren't you! You're an outsider!"

Ye Lin hesitated, then nodded.

Seeing this, the boy became even more excited. His chest heaved violently like a broken bellows, and Ye Lin feared he might stop breathing and die on the spot.

"Can you let me see your face?"

Ye Lin did not refuse and removed all his disguises. When he saw Ye Lin's healthy skin tone, the boy's eyes instantly turned red, and his bloodless lips trembled slightly.

The boy reached out to touch Ye Lin's face, but quickly pulled his hand back, his eyes filled with envy.

"Is this the skin tone that can see the sun, as Great-Grandpa said? It's so beautiful..." ===== CHAPTER 194 =====
