Chapter 519: Reserved! Forest White Canyon!

~8 min read 1,518 words

After returning to the real world, Xu Jing tells his teacher Su Su Qingli and Ling Shuang, then enters Demon Cave No. 4.

Compared to the Kanda Wilderness Area, the number of beasts in Demon Cave No. 4 is naturally far inferior.

Within 4 days, Xu Jing almost doesn't rest at all, constantly hunting beasts.

But in the end, he only obtained 50,000 Psychic Points, accumulating to 270,000 Psychic Points on the system panel.

But it still hasn't reached the point-adding requirement for advancing to Rank 6.

"No, the efficiency of harvesting Psychic Points in Demon Cave No. 4 is too low.

I don't know how many Psychic Points are needed to advance to Rank 6; I must go to the front-line battlefield.

After I go back, I will ask Teacher Su which front-line battlefield has the most intense fighting recently."

Xu Jing, walking out of Demon Cave No. 4, thinks silently to himself.

Fighting does not break out every day on the front-line battlefield, but once it starts, humans and beasts will engage in extremely bloody slaughter.

The rest time for the second stage of the Peak Tournament is in 5 days, which means he needs to go to a front-line battlefield where fighting is likely to break out soon.

"Time is tight; without reaching Rank 6, I don't have the capital to compete on the same stage as other SS-ranks.

I must seize the time and use every resource available to improve..."

Xu Jing's clear eyes reveal determination.

Swish—

The brilliant Thunder Dragon Wings unfold behind him, and he shoots into the sky, flying away from this place rapidly.

First, he comes to the Black Dragon Legion and hands over all the beast materials collected during this period to Cao Ren.

Only then does he fly back to the Leiting Martial Arts Hall headquarters.

Just after returning, Xu Jing finds Su Su Qingli and explains his idea of wanting to go to the front-line battlefield to kill beasts.

"After entering the Top 16, there are only five days of rest; you want to go to a front-line battlefield in just these five days?"

Su Su Qingli is surprised by Xu Jing's idea.

The front-line battlefield is a large-scale bloody meat grinder, where the death rate for psychics is at least 50% or higher!

Much higher than in the wilderness area!

Within Great Xia, except for large legions and societies with strong strength that arrange for psychics to go and fight,

unless they are at their wit's end or desperate to make money, very few psychics will actively participate in front-line slaughter.

"We in Great Xia have three front-line battlefields, located in the northern, western, and southern borders respectively."

Although surprised, Su Su Qingli still says quickly:

"The northern and western battlefields are in a state of ceasefire, and the fighting intensity is not high.

Only the Forest White Canyon in the south has a large number of beasts gathering, and it seems a new round of war is about to start.

A few days ago, they were still recruiting Rank 9 psychics to go and guard it; if you want to go, I can go with you then."

"Is the Forest White Canyon in the south already this serious? It actually needs Rank 9 psychics to participate?"

Xu Jing's expression freezes.

Humans and beasts signed a peace agreement.

One of the terms of the agreement is that for any battlefield on Blue Star,

once a Rank 9 psychic participates on the human side, or a Rank 9 Beast Emperor participates,

it can be regarded as tearing up the agreement, and humans and beasts will re-enter a state of total war.

After all, the destructive power of Rank 9 Supremes is simply too powerful.

Once they participate, it will cause even more tragic casualties.

Under the constraints of this regulation, in the past few decades,

although there have still been wars between beasts and humans, they have basically been within a controllable range.

"I am only responsible for guarding the battlefield, not participating in the slaughter."

Su Su Qingli shakes her head, cold light flickering in her beautiful eyes:

"In recent years, the beast tides launched by beasts on the front-line battlefield have become increasingly frequent.

There have even been sightings of Rank 9 Beast Emperors; we must prevent them from suddenly launching an attack,

unilaterally tearing up the peace agreement, and causing us tragic losses."

Beasts are inherently cruel; signing the peace agreement back then was just because they were beaten into fear.

After decades of recuperation, it is hard to ensure they won't have the intention to restart the war.

Especially in recent years, with the concentration of Origin Energy greatly increasing, human geniuses emerging, and beasts also having several newly promoted Rank 9 Beast Emperors.

"Going to the front-line battlefield is fine; experiencing the baptism of war in advance will be of great benefit to your future.

When you enter Rank 7, you can also adapt to this battle intensity in advance."

For a country, the role of low-rank psychics on the front line is actually not significant.

This is especially true for a large country like Great Xia; for psychics below the Rank 7 Master level,

the country will not force any responsibilities upon them; the only thing they need to do is improve their strength as quickly as possible.

But once they achieve Rank 7 Master, they must assume corresponding responsibilities.

They must go to the front-line battlefield once a year to be responsible for resisting beast invasions.

Of course,

if they are already long-term members of legions stationed on the front line, or instructors at psychic universities, then there is no such requirement.

Like Su Su Qingli, a Rank 7 Master-level psychic under the Leiting Martial Arts Hall, she is required to participate in the war every year.

When Xu Jing enters Rank 7, he will have the same requirement.

"The student understands." Xu Jing nods slightly.

In fact, even without this requirement, after Rank 7, he would likely spend most of his time on the front-line battlefield anyway.

Even after this genius tournament ends, in order to obtain more Psychic Points, he would go there in advance.

"The arena melee on the fifth day starts promptly at 12:00 AM; if there is nothing else, go back and rest first.

In your group, there are a few tricky opponents, so it's better to adjust your state to the best."

Su Su Qingli reminds him softly.

Apparently, she had already looked into the information on other contestants in Xu Jing's group 856 for the arena melee beforehand.

She waves her jade hand, and three holographic projections appear in front of them.

These are three male foreigners—two white, one black; all three are sturdy, with slightly bulging chest muscles, looking like they are not to be trifled with.

"These three are one Rank 6 middle-level and two Rank 6 lower-level, all from the United States.

Two are A-rank Enhancement-type psychics, and one is an A-rank Elemental Wind-type psychic.

One-on-one, none of them are your match; if the three of them unite, they might cause you some trouble."

The arena melee has 1,000 groups of battles, conducted in rotation 24 hours a day.

The battle list for each group has already been announced.

In Xu Jing's group, several Rank 6s are Americans; it is very likely he will be targeted by them collectively.

"Teacher, don't worry; even if they unite, they can't beat me."

Xu Jing grins and says confidently:

"Back then, Teacher, you swept across all the geniuses on Blue Star and took first place in the genius tournament.

As your student, I cannot fall behind; the arena melee is just the beginning.

My goal is... first place!"

In the previous Global Genius Exchange Tournament, Su Su Qingli, who was 27 years old, naturally participated as well.

In that genius tournament, no other SS-rank psychic awakeners appeared, only S-rank psychic awakeners.

And Su Su Qingli, relying on her Rank 6 peak strength and terrifying S-rank Lightning-type psychic ability,

forcefully suppressed many geniuses and took first place in the Peak Tournament, shocking the whole world.

At that time, although he was only 15, he had heard of it.

"I knew it."

Su Su Qingli has an expression on her exquisite face that says 'I saw through you long ago', then she shakes her head again:

"However, it is too difficult for you to take first place this time.

That SS-rank from our Great Xia is very difficult to deal with; additionally, the United States and the Bear Country both have SS-ranks.

You are five or six years younger than them, so it's normal that your level can't keep up.

The next genius tournament five years from now is when you will truly shine."

To be honest, Xu Jing's current strength already satisfies her very much.

It can be said that he is sweeping across all psychics of the same age on Blue Star; there is no need to forcibly compare himself with psychics who are four or five years older. ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
