Wow, the top scholar of Donghai Martial Arts Exam? Is this for real? "
"The top scholar of this year's Martial Arts Exam is so amazing. He's already a martial artist!"
"Looks like he's a genius!"
"But even if he's a genius, he's still a newbie. What kind of place is the Xingwu Continent? People can die at any time. It's not easy to take care of newbies."
…
Lin Zhan's words caused everyone to fall into a discussion. Many people were surprised.
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore." Lin Zhan ignored them and brought Wang Teng to the center of the hall.
The hall was very spacious. After passing through many activity areas, they arrived at the center.
There was a round table in the center. On it was a stone with Runes carved on it. An old man sat next to it, dozing off.
"Uncle Hei!" Lin Zhan called out respectfully.
The old man called "Uncle Hei" opened his eyes and looked at Lin Zhan. "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?"
"I'm bringing a newbie here." Lin Zhan moved aside and let Wang Teng come forward.
"Another newbie!"
Uncle Hei looked at Wang Teng and couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"This kid, why can't I understand it?"
Lin Zhan and the others couldn't help but feel surprised.
Uncle Hei had been guarding this [Inheritance Stone] for many years and had seen many newbies. However, he had never given them any comments. This time, he actually made an exception for Wang Teng.
And this comment was "I can't understand it"!
Wang Teng didn't know what Lin Zhan and the others were thinking. When he heard Uncle Hei's words, his heart skipped a beat.
Was this old man's eyes that sharp?
"Uncle Hei!" He imitated how Lin Zhan and the others addressed him and called out respectfully.
Uncle Hei nodded and didn't seem to care. He said lightly, "Place your hands on the [Inheritance Stone]."
[Inheritance Stone?]
Wang Teng looked at Lin Zhan and the others. Seeing them nod, he walked forward and placed his hands on the stone in front of him.
Uncle Hei didn't seem to do anything, but the Runes on the stone suddenly lit up.
"That was … psychic power!" Wang Teng's heart stirred.
The next moment, he felt pieces of information surging into his mind.
"This is?"
Although he could guess a thing or two from the name of the Inheritance Stone, when he truly experienced its use at this moment, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
In just a short while, Wang Teng felt as if he had learned a new language.
"# ¥¥% ¥& *% …" (Languages can be inherited?)
He opened his mouth and found that he was speaking a completely foreign language. His pronunciation was a little strange, and it even had a hint of Chinese.
Then, Lin Zhan also said in this foreign language, "That's right. When the pioneers came to this world, they discovered the existence of this kind of inheritance stone in the Otherworld. It can allow people to grasp a language roughly but quickly.
We all know how difficult it is to learn a language, especially in the Other World. The culture of the two worlds is completely different, so learning it is even more difficult. Many people have suffered a lot, but they still can't truly grasp the Other World's language.
Later on, the major forces could only buy this Inheritance Stone from the Other World at a high price and use it to pass on the Xingwu Continent's common language to newcomers. "
Wang Teng didn't think that there would be such a thing. He asked again, "Then, can other knowledge be passed on through this method as well?"
"It's not that easy. The creation of the Inheritance Stone is extremely difficult. Even slightly complicated knowledge requires a lot of manpower and resources, and even the accumulation of time. Moreover, it requires a high-level Runemaster to attempt to create it.
Those shallow knowledge can be learned immediately, so creating it is completely useless. The gains don't make up for the losses.
Moreover, because there are many different races in the Xingwu Continent, the languages are also extremely complicated. That's why the Inheritance Stone of the Common Language was created.
This is a set of mature creation methods that were gradually formed after hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation.
Until now, the most widespread and common thing in the Xingwu Continent is the Inheritance Stone of the Common Language. "
Lin Zhan explained.
Wang Teng nodded, indicating that he understood. If this kind of thing that could affect one's memory could be created so easily, then everyone wouldn't need to use their brains to learn.
Everything depended on the inheritance. Everyone didn't need to use their brains, and it was extremely easy to develop laziness. It was very likely that it would cause the civilization to stagnate.
Just thinking about the consequences of that was terrifying!
… …
After completing the inheritance of the Common Language, Uncle Black closed his eyes again to rest. Lin Zhan and the others tactfully left.
"Give me a cup of Spirit Grape Ale!"
There were many entertainment facilities in the hall. Lin Zhan didn't seem to be in a hurry to go out. The few of them came to a bar counter, and he shouted towards the bar behind the counter.
Spirit Grape Ale was a type of wine from the Other World. Its alcohol content wasn't very high, but its taste was extremely good. It was deeply loved by martial artists.
Lin Zhan took out a small booklet from under the counter and threw it to Wang Teng.
"This booklet contains the general knowledge that you want to know. You can take a look."
Liu Yan and the others also sat around the counter. Each of them ordered a drink or fruit wine with extremely low alcohol content. They chatted with their acquaintances as they waited.
Wang Teng nodded, flipped open the booklet, and started reading.
This booklet contained a summary of the general knowledge about the Other World. It wasn't very detailed, but it was very broad.
Time passed very quickly. After Wang Teng finished reading the booklet, Lin Zhan called everyone to prepare to depart.
The flow of time in the Other World was almost the same as on Earth.
Afternoon, around three o 'clock.
Lin Zhan drove out a heavy armored vehicle from the dojo's parking lot and called everyone to get in.
The tires of this vehicle were as tall as a person, and the entire vehicle was covered in heavy armor. It was like a giant steel beast.
The heavy armored vehicle roared out of "Yong City"!
Yong City was the important city that was connected to the spatial rift in the Eastern Sea. It was built by Earth after the spatial rift appeared.
After many years of development, it finally reached its current scale.
In the Other World, many of Earth's technological products couldn't be used. They could only use Force to create things.
For example, the Force Tower in the center of the city, or the Force Heavy Armored Vehicle, etc.
This seemed to be a restriction of the world's "rules"!
Wang Teng understood these things from the booklet, and now he was gradually starting to accept the things of the Other World.
The front and back seats of the heavy armored vehicle were connected. Wang Teng sat at the back and could see the dashboard in front. This type of Force Heavy Armored Vehicle relied on Runes to absorb the Force of Heaven and Earth. It was very environmentally friendly and practical.
After exiting the city, they drove for a few dozen miles before leaving the main road and entering the wilderness.
The surroundings were barren, with only low shrubs and bushes. Occasionally, one or two wild beasts would be disturbed.
In the boundless wilderness, natural ravines crisscrossed. There were no roads, but with the heavy armored vehicle's wheels, it wasn't a problem.
"Our destination is the Dark Mist Forest!" Lin Zhan roared in the whistling wind.
Wang Teng immediately understood, because there was an introduction in the booklet.
The Dark Mist Forest was an area that Earth's humans were currently exploring. This forest was very large, and there were many forbidden areas. Powerful Astral Beasts were entrenched there, and many high-level experts had fallen. Until now, no one had been able to explore it completely.
After more than two hours, the sun was about to set, and a large forest appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Lin Zhan drove the vehicle out of the forest and suddenly stepped on the brakes. The huge vehicle swept sideways, and the tires plowed a curved trail on the ground.
