Since last time, your Thunder Martial Arts Gym’s lineup has seemed pretty weak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a mocking voice rang out as a group of six approached from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These six wore uniform attire, each with a badge on the left chest: a bear’s head with jaws wide open, as if brimming with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was the lead man—a burly, bald man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how weak our lineup is, our results have always crushed yours. You don’t need to worry about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the lead man, Ling Shuang’s gaze turned cold as she shot back without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yang, core figure of the Bear Martial Arts Gym, possesses an enhancement-type S-class ability and is ranked eighth-tier mid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His true combat power is even stronger than that of an A-class eighth-tier peak Grand Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent editions of the gym exchange competition, Chen Yang has always led the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, past is past, present is present.

For the past few years, Bear Martial Arts Gym has been crushed by Thunder Martial Arts Gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Bear Martial Arts Gym has added an eighth-tier peak Grand Master, and Thunder Martial Arts Gym is in internal strife, they naturally want to reclaim their dignity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All thirty eighth-tier Grand Masters entering the Yer Secret Realm had been teleported in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were either high-ranking officials or clan heads of powerful energy-user families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew the situation of both Bear Martial Arts Gym and Thunder Martial Arts Gym well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, in terms of lineup, this year’s Bear Martial Arts Gym was indeed superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yang, an eighth-tier mid with an S-class ability, could be counted as an eighth-tier peak combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there was another eighth-tier peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining four were all eighth-tier high Grand Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Thunder Martial Arts Gym had two eighth-tier mids—and even Xu Jingming, a seventh-tier, tagging along—making them look unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling Shuang, long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a tall, beautiful woman walked up from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She greeted Ling Shuang first, then turned to Xu Jingming with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Jingming, we meet again. You did a great job on the last mission—we found plenty of useful items on Lü Wenliang’s corpse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Zhou?” Xu Jingming was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was Zhou Yu, director of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was the “soon” she meant when she said they’d meet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Xu Jingming was taken aback, Ling Shuang looked delighted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Yu, you’re going to the Yer Secret Realm too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, staying in Shanghai all the time is boring. I might as well go see the secret realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu smiled in reply, then began chatting and laughing with Ling Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Xu Jingming puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were Zhou Yu and Ling Shuang close?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon reflection, it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang had been principal of Shanghai University for three years; it’d be strange if she didn’t know the Shanghai Public Security Bureau’s director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they looked roughly the same age—it was natural they’d have common topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Sister Yu, do you know how the gym exchange competition will be ranked this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Public Security Bureau is an official organization of Great Xia, so its intelligence is naturally more timely than that of our Thunder Martial Arts Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s most likely ranked based on the quantity and quality of rare herbs and plants collected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? So is it only based on what our martial arts academy collects, or on what everyone in Great Xia collects?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All high-level warriors from Great Xia who enter the Ye Er Nexus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although this trip to the Ye Er Nexus is officially framed as a martial arts academy exchange competition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In reality, it’s a display of strength and depth among all nations on Blue Planet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yu lowered her voice, speaking with solemn gravity: “I heard our Great Xia’s team leader this time is Lord Blood Sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Blood Sword? It seems the state truly takes this Ye Er Nexus expedition seriously.” Xu Jingming nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Blood Sword is a ninth-rank warrior who rose to prominence only in the past decade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is known for his ruthless, merciless strikes and has slain numerous foreign warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is never assigned to ordinary diplomatic missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he’s leading the team—this indicates they anticipate possible conflicts with other nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The threat from ferocious beasts hasn’t been resolved, yet nations on Blue Planet are already showing signs of internal strife.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming silently shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since humanity signed a ceasefire agreement with ferocious beasts decades ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>human population has exploded, and friction and conflicts between nations have grown increasingly severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with ferocious beasts as a common enemy, nations on Blue Planet would never truly go to war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Places like the Ye Er Nexus, where warriors from all nations enter, have become the perfect stage for nations to show off their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Jingming was lost in thought, a voice like a great bronze bell rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the square, a slender man suddenly appeared, radiating an aura of endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this man, those who had been murmuring fell silent at once and bowed respectfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Blood Sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Lord Blood Sword recently broke through to upper ninth rank. Now that I see him, it’s clearly no lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming was inwardly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura emanating from Lord Blood Sword was dozens of times stronger than Su Qingli’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ye Er Nexus is about to open. You thirty will represent Great Xia and enter the Nexus to collect rare herbs and plants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Blood Sword cut straight to the point without preamble: “The last time the Nexus opened was five years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That time, Great Xia collected 1,132 tons of rare herbs and plants below B-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-grade and above exceeded thirteen tons, even including one SSR-grade rare herb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our total collection ranked first among all nations, surpassing even America by over a hundred tons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these rare herbs, heavenly treasures, have been used for the people of Great Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this harvest that so many warriors have emerged in Great Xia in recent years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, you will stay in the Ye Er Nexus for one month. I expect you to maintain our previous advantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Blood Sword’s voice was deep and powerful; Xu Jingming listened, inwardly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy hell—he’d never heard rare herbs measured in tons before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After leaving the Ye Er Nexus, you must hand over all rare herbs you collected to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, you won’t be working for free—your collected herbs will be converted into corresponding contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, Xu Jingming turned to Ling Shuang in confusion: “What are these contribution points?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Contribution points measure your service to Great Xia.
