Chapter 75: Ye Bai

The host site for this year's Genius Camp in Jiangcheng is located within the city itself.

But while it is said to be within the city, in reality...

It is within the former Jiangcheng!

"So, our Jiangcheng has more than one city gate..."

When Ye Bai and Li Qingqing followed the navigation through the entire Jiangcheng and walked to the end of the North District.

He, who saw the scene ahead clearly, was stunned for a moment.

A second city gate!

But unlike the first city gate.

There were no Junbu Zhanshi stationed here.

There was no flow of people coming and going.

Just by looking out through this gate, one could vaguely see a second perimeter wall, and a third, tightly shut city gate!

The area in between was overgrown with weeds, with countless dilapidated buildings!

Although Ye Bai was born in Jiangcheng, this was his first time coming here!

"Brother, you don't mean to tell me you don't even know about that incident back then?"

However, Ye Bai did not wait for Li Qingqing's reply before an untimely voice rang out.

"Who?!" Ye Bai was startled, and the Dragon Scale Spear appeared in his hand instantly!

"Brother, calm down, calm down!

Although you look like you've got some skills, I am a good brother of Ye Bai!

You know Ye Bai, right? The great hero of Jiangcheng! Even if you accidentally scratched me, Ye Bai would still teach you a lesson on my behalf!"

The voice panicked.

Ye Bai's Dragon Scale Spear paused, but his expression grew even stiffer.

Since when did he have a brother?

Turning his head to look, he saw a youth holding a folding fan, dressed in luxurious clothes, covered in accessories, with all ten fingers full of thumb rings, looking opulent and flashy!

Rich!

This was Ye Bai's first thought.

How ugly...

No, wait, the little thing looks quite unique.

This was Ye Bai's second thought.

Because on that necklace that looked expensive at a glance.

Sat a head that was shifty-eyed, sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked, looking just like a rat!

"Sorry, I had a bit of a stress response."

But he definitely couldn't say his inner thoughts; it would hurt the other's self-esteem too much. If he guessed correctly, this rat-faced man was also a student of the Genius Camp.

"Small matter, small matter." The rat-faced man wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's not that I'm bragging to you, but after so many years of friendship with Brother Ye Bai, I've long since learned his way of treating people with tolerance, and I won't take these small things to heart.

By the way, do you know Brother Ye Bai's character? Let me tell you, he is tolerant, kind, and easy to talk to. I even think that the reason he has achieved so much this year has a lot to do with his personality!"

"Just think about it, with a personality like this, how many friends can he make? Even the big shots above like this kind of junior the most!"

Then he snapped his folding fan open and said while fanning himself.

Ye Bai:?

"I've heard of it...

But I'm more curious about that incident you mentioned earlier..."

He didn't want to continue the previous topic, so he said after a twitch of his eye.

"Oh, right, almost forgot." The rat-faced man slapped his head.

"I'm really sorry, because I was worried about Brother Ye Bai all day yesterday, and then he came back alive, so I was too happy. That's why whenever I mention him, I talk a bit too much!"

Are you sure you aren't just a talkative person by nature?

Ye Bai's eye twitched again.

"How about this, brother, let's talk as we walk.

I see you are a man of talent; although your talent might not be as good as Brother Ye Bai's, and compared to mine it should be just a tiny bit worse, you must be a student of this year's Genius Camp, right?"

The rat-faced man was indeed a Genius Camp student.

"Yes."

"Which Martial Arts High School are you from? How come I haven't seen you?"

"Third High School..."

"Hiss, you're from the same school as my brother Ye Bai? Then you must have seen me; I often went to find him to hang out during my three years at Martial Arts High School."

"The one next to you, um, beauty, is she also from Third High School?... She looks quite cold, a bit like the school belle of Third High School. It seems the girls in your school all have similar personalities."

"How about this, seeing as we hit it off so well, if anyone bullies you in the coming month, you come find me! I'll find Brother Ye Bai for you!

I believe Brother Ye Bai will help you out for the sake of you being from the same school!"

The three of them walked and talked.

"So, you still haven't told me what that incident back then actually was..." Ye Bai was speechless.

Fortunately, this time, the topic was finally changed!

"That incident back then is actually very simple. It's just that more than a dozen years ago, two big shots used some unknown method to suddenly summon a Dimensional Gate inside Jiangcheng.

Then the two of them disappeared, and the Alien Race killed their way out from the Dimensional Gate, forcing Jiangcheng to be rebuilt once, and then our Jiangcheng had three city gates."

"Hm? Our Jiangcheng has a Dimensional Gate?"

It was the words of the rat-faced man that gave Ye Bai a shock.

Dimensional Gate, the portal for the Alien Race to invade Blue Star!

In his understanding, Dimensional Gates should be located within the Wilderness occupied by the Alien Race!

"Yes, the one in the city is the 5th Dimensional Gate." The rat-faced man assumed Ye Bai was referring to the one inside the city.

"And there's more than one?!" Ye Bai was even more shocked.

"Brother, no way, no way, you don't actually think there's only that one Dimensional Gate from a hundred years ago, do you?

Which family were you raised by exactly? They didn't even tell you these basic common facts?" The rat-faced man realized something, and his gaze became strange.

"I was raised by my aunt..."

"A humble background? What a coincidence, my brother Ye Bai is also from a humble background, but he knows way, way more than you do. Brother, you still have a lot to learn!"

The rat-faced man shook his head.

Then he also answered Ye Bai's doubts.

It turned out his understanding had been wrong all along.

There was not just that one Dimensional Gate from a hundred years ago; in fact, the number of Dimensional Gates on Blue Star to this day could exceed anyone's imagination!

It is said that every once in a while, the Three Great Alien Races will use their methods to open one... or possibly multiple Dimensional Gates within Blue Star!

A Dimensional Gate is also not a portal that directly connects two worlds as Ye Bai understood it, but rather a magical object similar to a transit station, or perhaps an Alien Race transport pod.

When a Dimensional Gate opens on Blue Star, a certain number of Alien Race beings will exist inside the gate!

And every once in a while, another batch of Alien Race beings will appear inside the gate!

It is precisely through this method that the Three Great Alien Races regularly transport troops from the Otherworld to Blue Star!

"And our Jiangcheng has a total of 6 Dimensional Gates, four of which descended long ago and are guarded by heavy troops.

The 5th Dimensional Gate appeared over a dozen years ago, right here in the Old City District, summoned by those two big shots."

"The 6th Dimensional Gate descended upon Jiangcheng three years ago, and its location is not far from here, so there is one more city gate leading from the Old City District to the Wilderness."

The rat-faced man said finally.

It had to be admitted that the information provided by the rat-faced man was very useful.

Don't forget, when Ye Bai ventured over a hundred thousand meters deep into the Wilderness yesterday, he had had a doubt.

Why were there not many Alien Race beings above Third Grade?

He had originally thought it was because the other end of the Jiangcheng Wilderness connected to several other cities.

Now he understood; it turned out that once a Martial Artist reaches the Middle Three Grades, they rarely hunt directly in the Wilderness, but instead enter the Dimensional Gates!

"Could it even be that the Alien Race in the Wilderness are intentionally released by the higher-ups? To both reduce the pressure of guarding and to temper Martial Artists below Fourth Grade?"

Ye Bai even had a guess...

But there was no time to think it over carefully.

"Zhuge Yun, these two are the big shots you found?

Are you sure that relying on just the two of them can guarantee your entry into the Genius Camp?"

An untimely voice rang out...
