Chapter 244: These Characters Are Chinese!

The rune in his eyes distinctly formed the character "soldier".

It isn't a script of this world, but the Chinese script from the world Jiang Chen previously inhabited: "soldier"!

Jiang Chen is so familiar with these Chinese characters that he didn't even react at first.

Why does the Primordial Rune show a Chinese character, and what does that signify? Could there be more Chinese mysteries hidden within the Primordial Space?

Jiang Chen lowered his head and squinted slightly, feeling as if he had brushed against an incredible secret.

In that instant, Jiang Chen was filled with yearning for the Primordial Space.

He was almost impatient to enter it at once to investigate.

However, that is impossible for now.

Either defeat the BOSS at the very center of the Upper Layer and go down through the passage.

Or honestly level up to Level 70, then enter the Lower Layer of the Ancient Battlefield from the outside.

These are the only two routes; there is no other choice.

"What are you thinking about? You're not studying the Primordial Rune, are you?" Yi Ning asked suddenly.

Because Jiang Chen kept his head down, appearing to be earnestly studying the Primordial Rune.

Yi Ning smiled lightly and said, "Stop studying it; you can't master the Primordial Rune in a few tries. To study it, you must at least reach Level 70, otherwise you don't even qualify to research it."

Jiang Chen concealed the shock in his eyes, looked up and replied, "Nothing, just taking a look."

His understanding of the Primordial Rune is indescribable; even Hong Jishi cannot speak of it.

"It seems this puzzle can only be solved inside the Primordial Space,"

Jiang Chen thought that a single "soldier" could not yield the answer.

The true answer can only be sought within the Primordial Space

Before that, he decided to focus on strengthening himself.

Only with strength does he have the qualification to solve the puzzle.

The two continued moving toward the Core Area.

Along the way, monster levels kept rising, and their numbers increased as well.

Here, solo professionals are almost extinct; Human Professionals all choose to act in parties.

Moreover, it isn't just a single party; for safety, several parties stay relatively close to each other.

In this dangerous zone, Rescue Signals are still effective.

The united strength of the Human Race is fully displayed.

Human Professionals occupy a vast area here; parties are often in contact with each other and are unafraid of Dragon Race or Abyss Demon incursions.

Dragon Race Professionals also move in parties, though they are a bit more scattered than the Humans.

Abyss Demons are even more so: a high‑level powerful demon leads a group of lower‑level demons, rampaging everywhere.

Large battles erupt among the three from time to time; the war has never ceased.

Yi Ning arrived here atop a red pillar of light, drawing the attention of many Human Professionals.

Many people showed surprised expressions.

The two of them—one at Level 41, the other at Level 30—dare to wander here.

Any monster they happen to encounter would be slain.

Especially since Yi Ning is also bathed in the light of the Primordial Rune, she would be relentlessly hunted.

Logically, they shouldn't be able to reach this place at all.

Yet they entered, as if on a stroll, seeming slow but actually advancing swiftly.

Jiang Chen's pace isn't slow; it may look like step‑by‑step walking, but he can cover over a thousand kilometers each day.

Moving toward the light, the Ancient Battlefield stretches boundlessly.

Since Jiang Chen arrived, he has walked at least tens of thousands of kilometers.

Yet the pillar of light that shoots skyward from the Core looks like

as if it had never moved.

After two days of rest, Yi Ning has fully recovered.

Now there is only one day left before she fully merges with the Primordial Rune.

When that time comes, even if she is killed, the killer won't obtain the Primordial Rune.

No one wants to do something without benefit; then she will become safe.

On the final day, just endure a little longer and it will be over.

Jiang Chen and Yi Ning again went around a monster that blocked the road; the monster preferred to walk a few extra kilometers rather than engage in a fight.

Such incidents have happened countless times.

Yi Ning asked oddly, "With your strength, clearing these monsters shouldn't be hard; why take a detour?"

Jiang Chen gave her a faint glance and said, "What are we here for?"

"We're looking for the Divine Selection Secret Realm," Yi Ning answered instinctively, with a strange expression, as if asking, "Don't you know?"

Jiang Chen said, "Then is there any purpose?"

Yi Ning shook her head.

No one knows where the Divine Selection Secret Realm will appear.

Someone once moved a huge stone and then entered the Divine Selection Secret Realm.

Thus everything depends on fate and chance.

Jiang Chen said, "Since there's no purpose, isn't wherever we go the same?"

Yi Ning suddenly had nothing left to say.

That's right, since there's no purpose, isn't going anywhere the same?

Jiang Chen has another reason he didn't mention: he doesn't want to gain experience.

He has already tried to kill as few monsters as possible, but now the monster density keeps increasing, and their aggressiveness is also getting stronger.

Many times he can't avoid them and has to fight.

Now his experience has already reached 70 %.

If he continues like this, it won't take many days before he should level up.

Level 30 gains Divinity and Level 31 gains

Divinity, after all there is some difference.

Jiang Chen follows what Hong Jishi said and can strive for the best outcome.

When they go around the monsters' behavior, other professionals see it differently, and that's not the case.

Most people think the two are scared and don't dare to provoke the monsters.

Come to think of it, the monsters here are at least Level 55.

At their level, provoking them equals death.

Someone's eyes lit up upon seeing Yi Ning and approached, "Beautiful miss, I am Guste. You have now obtained a Primordial Rune, we can protect you."

Guste is wearing the Eagle Nation professionals' distinctive attire, and on his shoulder also bears a Military Badge, Eight-Star Second Lieutenant.

Yi Ning shakes her head, "No need."

The person shows disappointment, "But miss, this will be dangerous. There are many monsters here, and your Primordial Rune will attract Abyss Demons and the Dragon Race."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from beside him, "We of the Shenlong Empire don't need protection from you Eagle Nation folk."

A team of professionals walks over, dressed in the Shenlong Empire's distinctive attire.

Exactly eighteen people, their aura imposing.

Such a squad has a special name in the Ancient Battlefield.

BOSS Team!

They don't clear Instances, constantly roaming the Ancient Battlefield, looking for a lone BOSS to eliminate.

In the Ancient Battlefield, there are astonishing numbers of Lord-level BOSS.

These Lord-level BOSS aren't as powerful as Lord-level BOSS and World-Class BOSS.

The drops aren't that good.

However they also drop a large amount of equipment that ordinary monsters don't drop.

Killing them yields abundant profit.

Occasionally a few exquisite pieces of equipment appear, not only

can upgrade one's own gear, and can also be exchanged for a large amount of money.

In the Ancient Battlefield, there are many BOSS Teams like this.

Yi Ning glances and whispers, "They're from the Blue Leaf Guild."

Jiang Chen has also heard of the Blue Leaf Guild, simply because they're so famous.

The Blue Leaf Guild is one of the top large guilds in the Shenlong Empire.

It is stronger than the Imperial Guild.

Whether it's the Ancient Battlefield, the Otherworld Battlefield, or the Shenlong Empire's wilderness.

There are their members everywhere.

The squad before us belongs to the Blue Leaf Guild's BOSS Team, wearing the Blue Leaf Guild's distinctive badge.

Their gear, every piece is top‑tier Platinum‑level equipment.

Even the BOSS Jewelry includes several pieces.

Ding Genghong shows no concealment of his aura level, his face full of confidence.

Being over Level 60, when he looks at Guste he feels a lofty, condescending gaze.

Guste forces a smile, "So it's Ding Genghong of the Blue Leaf Guild."

"Just know me is enough," Ding Genghong nonchalantly glances at Guste and then ignores him.

The blatant disregard makes Guste's expression flicker slightly, and he finally turns and leaves.

He dares not say a word; indeed he is not as good as Ding Genghong.

If the two sides clash, he would definitely be the one at a loss.

He can't provoke them, can only admit cowardice.

Not only him, his whole team is the same.

After Guste returns, their team quickly retreats, truly not wanting to provoke Ding Genghong.

The Shenlong Empire can't be provoked, the Blue Leaf Guild can't be provoked, Ding Genghong's group likewise can't be provoked.

Ding Genghong looks at Yi Ning, "Holy Spirit Summoner, Mid-level Mythic Profession, impressive!"

Yi Ning gives a faint smile, saying nothing.

With his

level, Yi Ning's level profession cannot fool him.

Then Ding Genghong looks at Jiang Chen, showing surprise, "Only Level 30, Necromancer Summoner? I've never heard of this profession before."

The next second, his pupils contract sharply, he stands perfectly straight, salutes Jiang Chen, "Nine-Star Second Lieutenant Ding Genghong, at your service, sir!"

Yi Ning is also taken aback.
