"From today onwards, I will be your guardian and servant," Wu Qi spoke, quietly and softly, yet Su Chen knew that these words meant Wu Qi would be his guardian for life.

"Hahaha..." Su Chen laughed heartily, in a great mood.

This journey to the secret battlefield had only just begun, and there was already such a tremendous gain!

"Young Master, where shall we go now?" Wu Qi asked. Since he had decided to follow Su Chen, naturally everything would be centered around him.

"I don't know. Where do you think we should go?" Of course, Su Chen didn't know. As a martial cultivator from War Ancient Sky, he knew less than those from Great Luo Heaven, and he'd spent a whole day absorbing evil Qi since arriving on Shiyu Continent, truly leaving him in the dark.

"If you like, Young Master, let's go to Seven Evils Town," Wu Qi suggested after some thought.

"Seven Evils Town? What kind of place is that?" Su Chen grew interested.

"On Shiyu Continent, when the Heavenly Disaster struck, most of the cities, sects, and towns were destroyed, buried tens of kilometers underground. However, a few dozen small towns still remain, although the original inhabitants have long passed away, the towns are intact. With a hundred thousand examinees in this assessment, it's impossible to continuously head toward the Eastern Pole Star Tower without resting. These remaining small towns serve as rest stops. Just yesterday, I rested at an inn in Seven Evils Town," Wu Qi explained, not usually one to talk much, but since he had decided to follow Su Chen, he had to answer Su Chen's queries.

"Then let's head to Seven Evils Town," Su Chen decided without hesitation after hearing Wu Qi's recount.

He was quite excited about the top prodigies of Great Luo Heaven.

So far, besides Feng Yanqing and the other two, Liu Baobao, Wang Qianqiu, and Liu Sui were extraordinarily impressive.

And Wu Qi went without saying.

So, his anticipation grew.

On the road.

Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "Wu Qi, among the young generation in Great Luo Heaven, what rank do you estimate you hold?"

According to Su Chen's estimation, Wu Qi's actual combat power was comparable to someone at the Humanity Daoism Realm Ninth Level!

Quite exaggerated.

Especially given Wu Qi's age, only a little over four hundred.

Remarkably impressive.

If many of the young generation in Great Luo Heaven were of this caliber, it would be... indescribable.

"Young Master, on the Divine Pavilion Potential Rankings in Great Luo Heaven, I am ranked at 670," Wu Qi replied, adding, "Young Master, you're not from Great Luo Heaven?"

It wasn't boasting. In Great Luo Heaven, ninety percent of young people surely knew of him, Wu Qi.

After all, the Divine Pavilion Potential Rankings encompassed the entire Great Luo Heaven, with countless billions in the young generation!!!

Ranking 670 was astonishing, especially at just over four hundred years of age. He was quite famous in Great Luo Heaven.

Bear in mind, the Jiucang Divine Pavilion assessment this time was spread across a hundred battlefields!

With each battlefield possibly hosting ten martial cultivators from the top thousand of the Divine Pavilion Potential Rankings, totaling about a thousand individuals.

Not everyone in the top thousand participated in this Jiucang Divine Pavilion assessment, though.

Some ultimate top-level super geniuses were certain of entering the Four Great Divine Pavilions and preferred other Pavilions like Taiyuan Divine Pavilion, which were stronger.

Overall, among the one hundred assessment battlefields combined, there were roughly seven to eight hundred martial cultivators from the top thousand of the Divine Pavilion Potential Rankings.

Averaging seven or eight of such martial cultivators per assessment battlefield.

Being ranked 670, Wu Qi wasn't invincible on Shiyu Continent, but certainly one of the top contenders and could strive for a spot in the Divine Pavilion.

Su Chen truly didn't know.

So, Wu Qi genuinely thought Su Chen wasn't from Great Luo Heaven.

"Indeed not, I hail from War Ancient Sky," Su Chen confirmed, nodding.

Wu Qi was momentarily stunned.

He assumed if Su Chen wasn't from Great Luo Heaven, he might be from a higher-grade plane!

After all, Su Chen was only twenty-seven! This age... was incomprehensible.

He couldn't possibly be from a lower-grade plane, could he?

Unexpectedly...

Su Chen indeed came from the lower-grade War Ancient Sky.

"Y-Young Master, is that true?" Wu Qi's voice quivered slightly.

"Of course," Su Chen nodded affirmatively.

Wu Qi fell silent, his lips trembling.

Wu Qi had always been extremely proud!!!

He had reasons to be proud.

But at this moment, his pride was shattered.

He knew that starting today, he needed to be more grounded, more diligent, and work even harder.

Looking at the Young Master, comparing himself, Wu Qi realized he was like waste among waste. Without effort, groundedness, and hard work, how could he become a supreme expert?

Su Chen's appearance taught Wu Qi a valuable lesson — never underestimate any plane or anyone.

A short while later.

They arrived at Seven Evils Town.

The entire town exuded an atmosphere of decay, desolation, antiquity, and oddness.

Yet, it was bustling.

Many in the town were martial cultivators participating in the assessment.

Some martial cultivators even set up stalls.

Some were engaged in trading.

"On each assessment battlefield, there is only one slot. Thus, ninety-nine percent of martial cultivators know they have no chance of obtaining it. They enter the battlefield to gain experience, and incidentally, trade. Trading in the battlefield is highly profitable. For instance, a Qi-Replenishing Pill, usually priced at ten Great Luo Crystals in regular shops in Great Luo Heaven, could sell for five to ten times more in these dangerous battlefields." It seemed as though Wu Qi noticed Su Chen's curiosity, and softly explained to him.

Su Chen nodded, understanding.

"Two young masters, care to buy some high-grade Evil-Repelling Pills?"

"Two young masters, the evil Qi on Shiyu Continent is too dense, easy to demonize. I have middle-grade Calming Pills here."

"Excellent Blood Qi Pills, at a cheap price."

"Top-level Ancient Jiaolong Treasure Robe, only a thousand Great Luo Crystals."

"Concealment Technique!!! Ancestral Concealment Technique, viewable once for a hundred Great Luo Crystals!"

......

On the rather narrow, blood-red stone-paved streets of the town, many young martial cultivators were shouting.

None of them were below the Fifth Level of the Humanity Path Realm.

Most were Sixth Level Rank, with a few at the Seventh or even Eighth Tier.

Any of them could sweep everything in War Ancient Sky!

All were quite young.

Most appeared to be a couple of thousand years old.

There were both men and women.

Furthermore, most had a steady aura, not the kind built up with elixirs.

Su Chen was still somewhat amazed; indeed, Great Luo Heaven was truly powerful!

It's no surprise that those martial cultivators from Great Luo Heaven were so proud.
