Chapter 237: Nancheng Kong Beaten into a Pig's Head

The area of Desolate City is unimaginably vast.

After parting ways with Yang Wanxin, Wang Jianqiang flew at full speed directly toward the location of the residence he sensed.

It took a full hour of flying before he found himself in front of his residence.

According to his estimation.

The distance he had flown previously accounted for less than one-fifth of the entire diameter of Desolate City.

Wang Jianqiang landed in front of an independent small courtyard.

He looked toward the tightly shut gate of the courtyard.

The gate was made of unknown wood, looked very old, and was covered in cracks.

His thoughts stirred.

A Golden Light shot out from his forehead and landed on the closed gate.

Creak~

The old wooden gate slowly opened.

Behind the wooden door was not the scene of a courtyard, but a piece of distorted space, from which a rich spatial aura emanated.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

It seems the residence here is similar to the one in the Second Round Assessment, both leading to a Small Space.

Thinking of this.

He did not hesitate, lifted his foot, and stepped into the gate.

The next moment.

His figure submerged into the distorted space and disappeared.

Afterward, the wooden door slowly closed amidst a "creaking" sound.

After walking into the spatial entrance.

Wang Jianqiang's vision blurred.

When his sight recovered, he discovered he had arrived in a Small Space with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

That's right.

There were not only flowers and grass here, but also mountains!

The diameter of this Small Space was actually nearly a thousand miles, just like a Micro World.

The only pity was.

Other than the abundant Spirit Qi, there were no spare Pill Formula and Medicinal Herb like on the fourth floor of the residence in the Second Round Assessment.

Obviously.

The resources on the fourth floor of the residence during the Second Round Assessment must have been a unique benefit of that round of assessment.

In this Third Round Assessment.

The difficulty of obtaining resources such as Pill Formula and Medicinal Herb is much greater than in the second round.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to exchange for all the Pill Formula he might need, and besides that, he had also exchanged for quite a few Medicinal Herb.

After familiarizing himself with the new residence.

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message to Mu Lingxi, Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, Yun Xin, and Xing Li respectively.

He told them the location of his residence.

Not long after.

The five of them arrived.

Looking at the distant mountain peaks, the flowers and grass on the ground, and the boundless, vast space.

They were all dumbfounded.

This is a residence?

Are you sure it's not a world?

Seeing the surprised expressions of the five, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"From now on, you all can live here."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the five of them.

Five streaks of Golden Flowing Light shot into the bodies of the five women.

This is the benefit of the Residence Mark; it can be divided among others, allowing them to also have the ability to enter and exit this space.

With his mark.

Mu Lingxi and the others could freely enter and exit this space from now on.

Of course.

His own mark still held the highest authority and could revoke the marks on the five people at any time.

After settling the five women.

He left the residence, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent out a message.

A moment later.

The Sound Transmission Talisman lit up.

Hearing the voice coming from the Sound Transmission Talisman, Wang Jianqiang frowned and flew toward the center of Desolate City.

The center of Desolate City was a wide Square.

Above the Square, a huge light screen was suspended.

This light screen was the Desolate Ranking.

Because the examinees have only just entered the city, this ranking is still completely blank.

When Wang Jianqiang arrived at this Square, in the vast square, only one ragged figure was standing at the edge of the square.

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and approached.

When he landed beside the figure, he could not help but reveal a look of surprise.

"Nancheng Kong, how did you get beaten into such a sorry state?"

At this moment, Nancheng Kong's entire body was not only swollen by a circle.

His originally rather handsome face was even more puffed up, resembling a pig's head.

That pair of bright, spirited eyes had already vanished, becoming two barely visible slits.

If not for being familiar with Nancheng Kong's aura, based on this appearance alone, one would absolutely not recognize that the person before them was Nancheng Kong.

"Lao dou~"

"Stop!"

Wang Jianqiang interrupted Nancheng Kong's words, "You had better use telepathic transmission."

Nancheng Kong paused, and a somewhat hesitant voice rang out in Wang Jianqiang's mind, "Boss, I failed to handle the matter well and did not complete the mission."

Hearing Nancheng Kong's words, Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes.

Nancheng Kong's heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth, "Boss, after entering the city, I chased my sister here."

"However, she was determined to enter the Desolate Realm, and I couldn't stop her."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted upon hearing this.

He looked Nancheng Kong over, "The injuries on your body, were they caused by your sister beating you?"

Nancheng Kong's old face flushed red.

Fortunately, it was already deformed from being beaten, so it could not be seen.

He was silent for a moment, and an awkward voice entered Wang Jianqiang's mind, "My sister, that person, her temper is a bit rebellious."

"Hearing that I wanted to introduce a Dao Companion to her, she got excited..."

"Cough cough, it's not that I couldn't beat her, Boss knows, that's my sister after all, I couldn't bear to strike back..."

Wang Jianqiang was speechless.

Couldn't bear to strike back?

A person capable of producing a Golden City Entry Mark has combat power at least at the level of an ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Although Nancheng Kong's strength is not bad.

But facing such a person, he would likely be hung up and beaten with one hand.

As for the reason he was beaten.

Wang Jianqiang did not really believe it either.

Judging by his perverted remarks in the past.

It is very likely that Nangong Yu had long found him an eyesore, and gave him a sound thrashing upon meeting.

At this moment, he finally understood.

No wonder this guy was stalling and making excuses when outside the city, refusing to acknowledge Nangong Yu?

And kept saying he was afraid of losing face?

It turns out he was afraid of being violently beaten by Nangong Yu in public.

"Since that is the case, then let's wait until your sister comes out of the Desolate Realm."

Nancheng Kong could be considered to have been beaten because of him, so he did not continue to make things difficult for the other party.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Nancheng Kong looked as if he had been granted an amnesty, "Boss, I still need to go find a place to stay, so I will take my leave first."

Having said that, he flew off into the distance.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and looked not far away.

At the edge of the Square, a Stone Stele stood erect.

The Stone Stele was about three zhang tall, and the two characters "Desolate Realm" were carved upon it in a bold, sweeping style.

The so-called Desolate Realm is the only Secret Realm within the Desolate City.

It is also the only way for all examinees to obtain resources and challenge the Desolate Ranking.

Inside the Desolate Realm, there are Desolate Beasts.

Killing Desolate Beasts, besides being able to obtain the materials on the Desolate Beasts, can also yield Desolate Qi.

When an examinee leaves the Desolate Realm, the Desolate Ranking will automatically absorb the Desolate Qi on the examinee and rank the examinee based on the total sum of Desolate Qi they have accumulated.

Within the Desolate Realm, crises are everywhere.

It is much more dangerous than the wilderness during the first and second rounds of the examination.

Currently, Wang Jianqiang has a large amount of resources on him that he exchanged for during the second round of the examination.

He is not lacking in Pill Formula.

Medicinal Herb are also sufficient for the time being.

He does not intend to enter the Desolate Realm to take risks.

Just as he was preparing to leave the Square, he suddenly sensed over a hundred auras flying up from various directions of the Desolate City, rapidly approaching this Square.
