The situation in the north battlefield became clearer and clearer. Regardless of whether it was the humans or the Octopus people, a large number of troops had started to gather near the Warrendoor Mountains. A great battle was about to erupt, and the preparations in various areas in the base were in full swing. The Exploration Team Department also welcomed the spring of harvest after a few months of training in the Soul Power Circuit.
There were all sorts of missions with generous rewards that made one's hair stand on end, causing everyone in the Exploration Team Department to scream in excitement. They would receive three levels of rewards at any moment, but there were two extremes in this world. There were those who were happy, and there were those who were unhappy.
The ones who were unhappy were a few exploration team leaders who had just arrived.
Who were these people? In the past, when they were in the Holy City Hostel, they were bosses who could cover the sky with one hand at any time. Even the higher-ups of the hostel would never reject any of their suggestions because of their background and future potential. Once there was a mission in the hostel, if they wanted to take it, there would definitely be no one else who could take it. Their words were absolute. Even if there was competition, it was between the exploration team leaders who knew each other very well. They would either fight each other or make an appointment. If you did it this time, I'll do it next time. In any case, there were only two words to describe it: monopoly!
But now that they were in the north? The unspoken rules that they were used to with each other had been broken by a new exploration team. Not only did the exploration team want a share of the loot, but in this kind of competition, the exploration team leaders often felt aggrieved. There were a few missions with high rewards and low risks. These were the kind of benefits that the large exploration teams took for granted, but in the end, they were all snatched away by the Wanderlust Team in the Missions Department.
When the higher-ups tried to smooth things over, they had said that good steel should be used where it mattered most. The large exploration teams should not compete with them for such low-risk missions … Why should I compete? The Wanderlust Team was like a biological son, but the rest of us were like stepmothers? If you were strong, you should go to the most dangerous places. Then why didn't your Great Teachers directly go to the frontlines? What kind of logic was this?
In the past, when it came to hostel missions, it was always others who came to pick their leftovers. How could there be a good example of giving others first?
After all, on the first day they had arrived, Sacred Teacher Leyson had called them over to watch a show. At that time, they had thought that it was just a normal negotiation, but after thinking about it, they realized that they had deliberately called Wang Zhong over in that kind of situation and deliberately left Wang Zhong alone afterwards … Wasn't this clearly telling the exploration team leaders that Wang Zhong was someone who was valued by the higher-ups? This was a warning to these arrogant and unruly people!
However, these people were not people who were willing to be bullied.
Furthermore, they had a rough idea of Wang Zhong's strength. He was very strong, but so what? They were both Semi-Heavenly Souls. Who was afraid of whom? Furthermore, Wang Zhong wasn't here yet. Just his subordinates had dared to steal from the top 10 exploration teams' bowls. What would happen when Wang Zhong returned? Wouldn't he be riding on everyone's heads?
This matter definitely had to be resolved. They had to establish the rules first. No matter who was above the Wanderlust Team, in the Heroic Soul Stage and in the hostel circle, the top 10 exploration teams were the rules!
Thus, the first person to cause trouble very quickly jumped out. It was Red Widow Faith Kelly. She publicly announced in the Exploration Team Department that she had taken a fancy to Vladimir and wanted the Ice Prince from Earth to accompany her.
"I don't like to use force. I'll give you 10 days to deal with this. Once you've cleaned up, come and find me …"
Red Widow's name was well-known among the Holy Disciples. There were many pretty boys who had been promoted because they had gotten close to her. Hale from the Oceanic Beasts was one of them. But at the same time, those who had offended her and been mocked by her often ended up in a miserable state.
Putting aside the fact that they were at war, no one dared to act recklessly here. They did not dare to do so openly. At the very least, they had to give some face to the policies of the higher-ups. However, it was hard to say what would happen in private. Just like in the past, if Wang Zhong had not been strong, Mario would have died in vain.
This news rapidly spread in the Exploration Team Department in the north base. There were three layers of intentions behind Red Widow's words. On the surface, it seemed like a simple case of a woman chasing a man. However, the woman was slightly stronger and seemed to have forced herself on him. However, looking at it from a deeper level, she was targeting Wang Zhong and the Wanderlust Team. Didn't Wang Zhong kill Red Widow's lover? Sure, I'll let you guys accompany him. Everyone will have a way out of this embarrassing situation and will not lose face. This matter will be considered over.
But in reality? Any old Holy Disciple who had stayed in the Holy City for seven or eight years could see that this was not a simple personal grudge. Red Widow was representing the top 10 exploration teams to give the Wanderlust Team a wake-up call. The Exploration Team Department was still the Exploration Team Department of the top 10 exploration teams. No matter how fierce the Wanderlust Team was, they had to stay low if they were a dragon or a tiger. Otherwise, they would be beaten and told who was the real leader of the Exploration Team Department. Why did they give the Wanderlust Team 10 days to expand their influence and let everyone know that even the higher-ups in the Holy Land could not interfere in everything. They had to follow the rules!
If this was in the past, when a god appeared and beat up a newcomer, all sorts of people would have started to wave their flags and cheer them on and furiously flatter them. However, this time, the Exploration Team Department was abnormally 'calm'.
The current Wanderlust Team was not a small team that could not even let out a fart after being suppressed by the top exploration teams. Both Wang Zhong and Mu Zi were becoming more and more famous. Which one of them was not a ruthless character? Previously, many people had criticized the Wanderlust Team, including the Sword Saints and Warlock Saints of the Mizobudapi World. In the end, they had criticized themselves into their graves … In other words, those who criticized the Wanderlust Team would not have a good ending.
Even though Red Widow's reputation among the Holy Disciples was monstrous, she was not a Heavenly Soul. If she really went against Wang Zhong or Mu Zi, it would be hard to say who would win. Furthermore, she had deliberately chosen to say such harsh words when Wang Zhong was not around. Was this because she had some misgivings? However, the Wanderlust Team still had Mu Zi and Mo Wen. These two were impressive people who had directly fought against a Sword Saint. It looked like the rise of the Wanderlust Team had caused the top 10 exploration teams to feel pressure.
Furthermore, the Wanderlust Team was not like the other lowly people who would want to kneel down and call Red Widow father if she threatened them. Even though their leader, Wang Zhong, was not around, they did not have any intention of handing over Vladimir. They only said that if Red Widow wanted someone, she could come to the Wanderlust Team. The entire exploration team would welcome her at any time!
See, no matter what leader of the top 10 exploration teams you were or what Semi-Heavenly Soul you were, they did not care about you at all! Even if their leader, Wang Zhong, was not around, the current Wanderlust Team was not weak. They still had God Mu Zi.
There were all sorts of heated discussions in the exploration teams. They held back their energy and waited to watch the show. The Wanderlust Team had already said such harsh words. Red Widow would definitely take action in three days. This matter would not end well.
Of course, they did not dare to blindly comment on who would win or lose. Regardless of whether it was Red Widow or the Wanderlust Team, they were not people that ordinary Holy Disciples could provoke. However, in their discussions, they treated this as a confrontation between a new power and an old power. It was as if they were waiting to fight for power and exchange.
Hellfire!
It was born from one's heart and rose at one's whim. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, one had defied the natural order of cultivation and broke through the true limits of the human body. As a result, the organs and five elements in one's body could no longer achieve their original balance. Ordinary people said that too much liver fire would cause one's endocrine system to be in disorder … Was liver fire really an open fire? In reality, this was the same logic. At that moment, one would be reborn as they had leaped to a higher level of life. Because of this, one would experience a backlash from one's old body. The stronger one's old body was, the more powerful the initial power of the Hellfire would be. This was the origin of the Hellfire.
The second was the worries in one's heart. Although the Five Elemental Hellfire was a backlash from one's Heroic Soul energy, it was controlled by one's thoughts. Not only would it burn one's internal organs, but it would also enter one's consciousness. Furthermore, the various distracting thoughts in one's consciousness, especially when one was worried about certain things, would become raw materials for the Hellfire to continuously grow, causing it to burn more and more intensely and continuously … Ordinary people said that one had to cultivate one's heart and mind and not get angry when things happened to prevent excessive liver fire from harming one's body. This kind of fire that was produced by one's consciousness was endless and could not be extinguished unless one's mind was calm. However, the Hellfire covered a wider area and was more powerful. When it rose to the level of a Heroic Soul, it would no longer harm one's body, but one's life!
How firm and fierce was the physical body that had been refined from divine cells?
Wang Zhong's Hellfire was especially fierce. The moment it burst forth from the depths of his heart, it had reached a level where the flames were visible!
The temperature around his body instantly rose rapidly, and his entire body seemed to be covered in a fiery red color from the inside out. Tongues of fire continuously gushed out from his ears, nose, and mouth. Furthermore, even though his eyes were open, there were no eyeballs or white parts of his eyes. There was pure raging fire, as if he was a flaming man from Salamander's world.
Even though Wang Zhong's resistance to fire was extremely high, it was not enough when faced with this kind of crazy fire. Luckily, he had divine cells. With their powerful regenerative abilities and defensive abilities, all the functions of his body were firmly locked in place. Even though one could see that Wang Zhong's body was rapidly drying up and dehydrating under the high-temperature sea of fire, and even layers of divine cells that had been burnt black and used up turned into black ash that continuously fell from his body, one could not sense his lack of Soul Power and exhaustion. On the contrary, his Soul Power became more and more vigorous, as if he wanted to compete with the Hellfire in all aspects!
When other people experienced the Hellfire Calamity, they usually only burned their internal organs and tempered their internal bodies. However, Wang Zhong's Hellfire Calamity directly burned every cell in his body from the very beginning.
Boom boom boom!
After a stalemate of a dozen seconds, a few large balls of flames suddenly shot out from his body. They overflowed from his body and shot into the sky. The terrifying heat from the flames instantly vaporized the roof! The shockwaves that were produced caused the wooden house that had already been set ablaze to be torn into pieces. Even half of the abandoned city trembled slightly!
The violent sounds and vibrations immediately attracted the attention of Grai, who was on the other side of the castle. He pressed down on the divine sword that he was comprehending and flew up. He immediately saw Wang Zhong's current state.
He was slightly excited. It looked like Senior had finally comprehended the inheritance of the divine sword and was experiencing the minor Heavenly Calamity … Wait a minute!
His brief excitement only lasted for an instant. However, when he saw Wang Zhong's state clearly, Grai's expression instantly became extremely cautious and solemn.
Hellfire surging!
In fact, it was not particularly rare for Hellfire to appear externally. There were too many practitioners in this world who could not abandon the secular world. Too many worries in their hearts would often cause their Hellfire Calamity to burn even more intensely. In the end, it would evolve into an extremely ferocious Hellfire. Regardless of whether they could safely survive the Hellfire Calamity, it was not too rare. If one loved to learn, they would often be able to find similar examples in the stories passed down in the Holy City.
However, it was different for the Hellfire surging. It was not just externally visible. Instead, it meant that the Hellfire that originally belonged to one's thoughts had been strengthened to the point where it could materialize and be released! This kind of Hellfire was simply unimaginable. In the history of human cultivation for hundreds of years, there were only three records of Hellfire surging. All of them were monstrous geniuses who had stunned an era. Furthermore, their intensity was not as astonishing as the Hellfire that Wang Zhong had just unleashed. However, none of them survived …
Grai furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He wanted to help, but he was powerless. Others could not help him with this at all. Wang Zhong could only rely on himself! It seemed that he could still withstand it for the time being. He could only pray that Wang Zhong did not have too many worries in his heart and did not let this terrifying Hellfire continue endlessly.
However, reality was often the opposite of imagination. In just a dozen seconds, the Hellfire on Wang Zhong's body did not show any signs of weakening. On the contrary, it burned even more intensely and would never stop.
He could not have any distracting thoughts or increase the power of the Hellfire!
Wang Zhong also tried his best to calm down. At that moment, there was not a single trace of distracting thoughts in his mind. However, this was not how things worked … Regardless of whether one deliberately thought about it, as long as one had worries, those things would truly and objectively exist. They would be sealed in one's mind like memories, and the Hellfire would search for them on its own.
Then, Wang Zhong had too many things to worry about. Aunt Shea, Uncle Wang, Scarlet, Simba, Ma Dong … The Golden Stone Slab, the Fate Stone … There was also his past, the mysterious history recorded by the Holy Saint Teacher, and the gloomy future of the human race …
Regardless of whether it was people, matters, or objects, Wang Zhong had too many worries in his heart that he could not let go of. These things seemed to be bound to his soul and had long since become a part of his thoughts. Furthermore, they were extremely clear and conspicuous in his consciousness. He did not need to put in any effort to search for them. It was like firewood placed in front of him, and he could easily obtain them if he bent his head!
The abundant nutrients caused the Hellfire to burn even more intensely. Gradually, with Wang Zhong as the center, the houses within a radius of a thousand meters spontaneously combusted. Almost half the street was on fire and burned to ashes. The castle that had been quiet for many years suddenly seemed to be boiling. Flames soared into the sky, and the terrifyingly high temperature made even Grai, a newly advanced Heavenly Soul expert, feel that he could not get close.
This kind of Hellfire was simply too shocking and could not be resisted by humans!
