Chapter 79: Divine Martial Battlefield

  Bang!

  The hatch closed with a heavy thud, completely isolating the interior and exterior of the giant metal egg. Su Dong was surprised to find that there was another door inside the metal egg, but he had no idea where it led.

  "Huh? Why is there another door here?" Su Dong asked curiously.

  "Wow, you're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask then? When I followed Lord Ice God, he never brought me here either. This is my first time entering this place too."

  The metal egg looks very large, but inside it's actually not big at all, and even a bit cramped. Su Dong furrowed his brow, how could he possibly cultivate in here? He couldn't even stretch out his arms and legs.

  "Look, there's something here!" Huan Yu said, pointing to the side of the wall.

  Su Dong took a closer look and saw that there were several slots, on which were placed some long rectangular metal plates. Su Dong picked one up at random and saw that the front side had two characters "Wu Dao" written on it, while the back side had a string of numbers.

  Snap!

  Something strange happened, just a few seconds after Su Dong picked up the metal plate, another door burst open, and a warm and refreshing breeze blew in.

  Su Dong curiously opened the door, only to find himself standing in a lush green bamboo forest, with the warm sunshine shining on his head, and several small birds chirping non-stop.

  "Am I dreaming?" Fang Yu rubbed her head and said, perhaps due to the long time without seeing sunlight, Fang Yu rubbed her eyes with her hands and then took a deep breath.

  Su Dong also found it unbelievable, just a door, only a few meters away, yet it was like crossing two completely different worlds, one side was freezing cold, the other side was warm spring.

  Su Dong walked a few steps forward, then turned back, but found that the magical door had disappeared. He hurriedly turned around and walked back, but the door magically reappeared before Su Dong's eyes.

  After trying several times, Su Dong understood that this door might have a hidden effect. Only when approaching within three meters would it reveal itself.

  Su Dong walked out of the bamboo forest, not far from the outside was a very stylish square. The square had many people, mostly young boys and girls around his age, some chatting and laughing, others eating snacks. The perimeter of the square was surrounded by metal eggs, just like when Su Dong arrived, with an uncountable number.

  These boys and girls come in and out from here.

  Right in front of him was a huge archway. Su Dong curiously walked closer to take a look, and saw that on it were written a few very majestic words.

  "Primary Divine Martial Battlefield?" Su Dong muttered to himself, turning his head to ask Huan Yu: "What kind of battlefield is this? Where are we now?"

  After speaking, Su Dong saw that Huan Yu's eyes were even more surprised than his own, and so he laughed and said: "Almost forgot, you're also here for the first time."

  The entrance and exit require showing one's own metal card. Su Dong took a glance and found that the metal cards used by others were not much different from his, all being rectangular in shape, only with different words on them.

  So Su Dong also followed others into the Shenwu battlefield, with a slightly guilty conscience, but Su Dong's acting skills were not bad, and he pretended to be nonchalant.

  The gate was guarded by some warriors wearing very luxurious spiritual armor, uniform style, each with an extraordinary appearance.

  When it was Su Dong's turn, Su Dong handed over the metal card with the two words "Wu Dao" written on it. The guard took the metal card in his hand and pinched it, as if to determine its authenticity.

  "Never heard of it? You're a first-timer, huh?" The guardian warrior asked in a rather polite tone.

  "It's indeed the first time."

  "Uh-huh, after passing the entrance turn right and go to the registration office to find Old Hu, he will tell you the rules."

  They passed through the gate smoothly, and other young warriors continued to move forward. Su Dong followed the guard's directions to a large circular building on the right side.

  There are fewer people here, all of whom are young people who have come to the Shenwu battlefield for the first time. Some are even more nervous than Su Dong, this fake goods.

  A young man wearing a pair of colored glass spectacles was holding a notebook at the entrance, carefully recording something. He had a somewhat bookish air about him and would grab hold of anyone to ask them questions this way and that.

  "Huh? Wudao Academy? I've never heard of it, where is this Wudao Academy located? Who founded it in the first place? And which lineage of martial arts does it pass down?" The young man with glasses took an interest in the card in Su Dong's hand and pushed his glasses up, asking him eagerly.

  "What are you asking this for?" Su Dong asked back, he had no idea what the Wudao Academy was. Even how he got here was still a mystery.

  The young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions. I'm just doing some research work. Combat power is important, but knowing oneself and others is also very important. I am currently investigating the strength of the primary divine martial arts battlefield contestants, as well as the combat power index of each academy."

  "I've never heard of the Wudao Academy you're from before, so I'm asking you about it."

  Su Dong resolutely decided not to bother with this bookworm. As the old saying goes, "The more you speak, the more likely you are to lose."

  Su Dong is now in a strange land, no need to attract too much attention, low-key and take a look, understand what the Ice God is doing.

  This little bookworm actually has a persistent energy, seeing Su Dong not paying attention to himself, so he thinks Su Dong is even more mysterious, and actually sticks to Su Dong without leaving.

  "This way, I'll take you there." The young man said as he led the way forward.

  Inside the hall, I only saw a long counter, many people were registering here and then receiving a new card.

  "Mr. Hu, this is the person I'm focusing on investigating, can you arrange a better position for him?" The little bookworm spoke sweetly to a chubby old man behind the counter.

  The old man looked up and smiled, "Since Master Hua has given his orders, what can't be done?"

  "Thank you."

  "Don't thank me, just don't bother me with nonsense in the future and that's all I ask." The old man said with a smile, seemingly quite familiar with this bookworm surnamed Hua.

  "Come over here."

  The little bookworm pulled Su Dong to the counter, and the chubby old man took Su Dong's card and looked at it for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise: "Young Master Hua has good eyesight! Wudao Academy? I'm Old Hu, and I've been doing this for a lifetime, but this is the first time I've heard of it. Indeed, there's potential for investigation."

  Old Hu praised him, and the bookworm surnamed Hua immediately became proud, pouting his mouth and saying: "Needless to say, I'm absolutely right about the people I choose! You'd better hurry up, I want to see what's different about the students from Wudao Academy."

  Old Hu smiled and asked Su Dong's name, then registered it on the case, and gave Su Dong a new card. The original one was also returned to Su Dong, saying: "Go find your own room according to the number above, our God Martial Battlefield is very kind to young warriors, food and drink are all free..."

  The little bookworm impatiently waved his hand at Old Hu, pulling Su Dong along as they walked out, saying: "Alright, alright, I'll tell him all this."

  Old Hu helplessly shook his head and watched Xiao Shu Zai and Su Dong leave.

  ……

  "So you're Su Dong, I'm Hua Yingyue. Now I'll take you to your room. The conditions at the Divine Martial Battlefield are very good, everyone has their own independent room where you can rest, eat, and bathe. As far as I know, some crazy people who focus on cultivation even live here for decades without leaving."

  Su Dong found that this little bookworm was actually not bad-looking, with a delicate small nose, white lips and red teeth, and slender hands that didn't seem to belong to a martial artist at all.

  "Looks like you're quite familiar with Shenwu Battlefield?" Su Dong asked.

  "That's it! You're new here, follow me and you won't go wrong!" Huayingyue patted her chest and said.

  Su Dong was at his wit's end with this bookworm, and he himself was indeed a fake who didn't understand the situation, needing someone familiar with the terrain to guide him. But Hua Yingyue kept asking Su Dong questions that he couldn't answer, buzzing around him like a little bee.

  The entrance of Shenwu Battlefield was behind a small hill. When Su Dong turned over the hill, he suddenly found that there was actually a city on the other side!

  Towering buildings of varying heights, countless pedestrians, and densely packed streets, not much smaller than the City of Frost.

  "What's wrong? Are you shocked? In order to let warriors from all over the world cultivate their minds here, the battlefield has been continuously expanding since its establishment. There are countless training halls, swimming pools, and even small restaurants. According to my statistics, there are currently more than 100,000 warriors practicing actual combat here!"

  Hua Ying Yue looked at Su Dong and said, "At your age, you're just being sent to the battlefield by the Academy, which means your potential is average. But that's okay, here, any miracle can happen!"

  The little bookworm's personality was quite sunny, but Su Dong and Huan Yu were both shocked speechless. The existence of this divine martial battlefield far exceeded their expectations.

  Su Dong's room is a simple one-bedroom apartment with a bathroom and kitchen.

  Su Dong took a quick look and then changed into a blue outfit according to Hua Yingyue's instructions, and the two of them left together.

  "There are no names here, only numbers. This is done to prevent grudges between different families and schools, or unfair phenomena due to differences in status. In short, everyone here is the same warrior, wearing the same clothes, eating the same food, with no one having special privileges." Huā Yìng Yuè smiled as she introduced.

  Su Dong was taken aback. This was indeed very humanized, as some warriors came from noble families, while others came from humble origins, and it was inevitable that there would be differences in status when they were together.

  The arena of Shenwu cancelled the privileges of warriors, everyone has to start from scratch, and if you want special treatment, you have to show your true skills.

  After a pause, Hua Yingyue said: "Rules are always made for others to see, the warriors of the four major academies will still receive a lot of care here, unfortunately, the person who created this place back then wasted their efforts in vain."

  At this time, Hua Yingyue suddenly found that Su Dong was stunned, staring at a huge map on the side of the street.

  "I think I know where we are," Su Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered to Huan Yu.
