From the Thunder Spirit King, Ye Chen had learned a lot of things. Although this year's martial geniuses were very powerful and glorious, the geniuses from the previous year would not be that bad either. The most powerful ones were almost the same as the top four young warriors, who had reached the half step king warrior realm before the age of forty. They had even made it into the Life and Death Realm Substitute Ranking. Now that ten years had passed, they were all almost fifty years old, which meant that their cultivation and power must be very powerful.
This also explained why there weren't any young geniuses in their forties or fifties in True Spirit Continent's Master Ranking. It was because the majority of them had already become half-step Kings, so they naturally wouldn't come out to compete for the ranking. Master level experts were only masters, so how could they be compared to half-step Kings?
As for the most powerful half step king warriors, there were more than three of them. The Thunder Spirit King knew five of them, and adding some of them who were in closed-door training all the time, there might be more than ten of them. The True Spirit Continent was not as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, it would not be the center of the Elysium, the place with the most luck.
Besides, Ye Chen had also learned from the Thunder Spirit King that a lot of the martial geniuses had already reached the half step king warrior realm. Bai Wuxue was the first, and the others were right behind him, including Lu Shaoyou, Xia Houzun, Xiao Chuhe, and the Godly Shark Princess. As for Dugu Jue and the rest, when the Thunder Spirit King left, they had not made the breakthrough yet.
All in all, the martial geniuses of the True Spirit Continent had all started to make the breakthrough. In terms of training talent, Ye Chen actually did not have much of an advantage.
"Thunder Spirit King, are you at the third level of the Life and Death Challenge?" Ye Chen asked.
The Thunder Spirit King laughed, "You saw through me. Not bad, I have already reached the third level of the Life and Death Challenge. I will try to reach the Life and Death Realm before I turn seventy."
Although Xuanhou had reached the Life and Death Realm at the age of thirty-five, it did not mean that people who were slightly weaker than her would be able to reach the Life and Death Realm at the age of thirty-six or thirty-seven. Life and Death Realm was the highest realm in Elysium, and it was not something that could be easily reached. Not only did it require talent, but it also required a bit of luck. Perhaps one might be one of the top martial geniuses before reaching the Life and Death Realm, but would reach the Life and Death Realm later than others. Anything was possible.
"Mr. Ye, are you from the true spirit continent?" As the two were talking, Lan Sanmei suddenly interrupted.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes."
He and the thunder spirit king did not use Zhen yuan sound transmission, so it was not surprising that Lan Sanmei could hear it.
"I have always wanted to go to the true spirit continent. I heard that it is the center of the Elysium, and the Blood Sky Continent was also separated from the true spirit continent."
Lan Sanmei knew a lot about it.
The thunder spirit king chuckled, "They all say that there are many beasts in the Blood Sky Continent. You have trained a demon martial art, so you must be one of the famous martial geniuses in the Blood Sky Continent."
"You flatter me. Your power is the one that I admire."
Lan Sanmei was very scared of the thunder spirit king, who used blades just like her. However, his cultivation was two realms higher than hers. She did not think that she would be able to beat him with a higher cultivation. She was a martial genius, but the thunder spirit king was not ordinary either. Although he did not look like a young man, but more like a middle-aged man, judging from his life force, he was only in his fifties. Being able to reach the third level of the Life and Death Challenge in his fifties, he must have been a powerful martial genius.
Lan Sanmei was very sensitive to life force. The reason why the thunder spirit king looked like a middle-aged man was that he had used a secret art to reduce his lifespan by ten years. Therefore, he looked ten years older than his peers. Based on the Sea of Souls Realm warriors' lifespan of three hundred years, he was only a young man in his fifties.
The Cold Iron City was very deep under the sea. When it came out of the water, a group of hundreds of people floated in the air.
"Everyone, come on up!"
The chubby elder touched his storage ring with his finger, and a massive puppet ship appeared in front of everyone out of nowhere, which made everyone's eyes light up.
This puppet ship was sixty to seventy meters long and ten meters wide. It was covered in a light yellow qi layer, and there were dozens of puppet cannons at the front and the back of the ship.
"Not bad! It is a top rank puppet ship!"
Ye Chen chuckled.
Although the top rank puppet ships would not be able to threaten half step king warriors, they would be able to deal quite a bit of damage to Sea of Souls Realm warriors, which would save a lot of manpower. Most importantly, sitting on the puppet ships would be a lot easier, since the journey to the Blood Sky Land would not be a small one.
Everyone got on the ship, and it started to move.
The speed of the puppet ship was very fast, even faster than Ye Chen's flying puppet. Within a second, it could fly dozens of miles away, and one could not feel any wind on the ship, so they could enjoy the scenery from the front of the ship.
The chubby elder walked to the front of the ship and said to the Thunder Spirit King and Lan Sanmei, "Thank you two for taking the job and protecting our Full Moon Trade Team."
The Thunder Spirit King said, "You said it yourself, we were hired by you, so there is no need to thank us."
"Regardless, with you two here, this trip will be much safer. Once we reach the destination, I will apply for a VIP tag for you two. In the future, as long as you buy anything from us, it will be ten percent off, and you two will be the priority."
The chubby elder was very smart. No matter where it was, top half step king warriors were very rare. If he could use the tag to make friends with them and make them feel good about the Full Moon Trade Team, it would be a good thing. He believed that the people above would support him for sure.
…
The puppet ship flew for three days and arrived on top of a blood ocean.
"We are here. Everyone, be careful."
The chubby elder walked out of the cabin and reminded everyone.
"Don't worry. We have two top half step king warriors here. Unless the fifty robbers attack together, we will have to go back in defeat."
Everyone was very relaxed. After all, there were two top half step king warriors here, so there was nothing to worry about.
The chubby elder shook his head with a smile. He knew that what everyone said made sense, but he still told everyone to be ready for battle.
The first day was peaceful.
The second day was also peaceful.
On the third day, something bad happened. Every once in a while, there would be a wave of powerful soul power scanning over.
"It seems like we are being targeted."
Ye Chen followed the source of the soul power and saw a lot of people. All of them were wearing bloody robes, looking very aggressive. They should be the top fifty robbers in the Blood Ocean.
"It would be good if they did not come. Now that they are here, let my demon blade see some blood." Lan Sanmei said lightly.
The next noon, the puppet ship was surrounded by four to five hundred people.
Looking at the fifty people in the lead, some of the people at the front of the ship yelled, "Fifty robbers! It is the fifty robbers! Oh my god! They are all here!"
"Our luck is so bad! We have bumped into the members of the fifty robbers group! "
Someone said with a pale face.
Ye Chen's gaze landed on the fifty bandits. He discovered that among them, thirty had a cultivation base of peak late Sea of Soul realm, twenty were half-step Kings, and three of them were 'strongest' half-step Kings.
"It has been a long time since I had a big battle."
Thunder light flashed in the Thunder Spirit King's eyes, his battle intent boiling.
One of the three leaders of the fifty bandits, a middle-aged man with a face full of scars licked his lips. "The Full Moon Caravan is the biggest fat sheep. How can we let it go? This time, we've slaughtered the Full Moon Caravan. The loot we've gained is worth at least three hundred million top-grade spirit stones!"
"Three hundred million? You are underestimating the Full Moon Trade Team too much. I bet it is worth five hundred million." An old lady with fur on her face said with a creepy smile.
"Alright, let's not be careless. There are two top half step king warriors on their ship. Once we get on, we need to keep them busy. Do not give them the chance to kill our people."
The one in the middle was a tall middle-aged man with fish fins on his head. His eyes were more black than white, looking very creepy.
"Without top half step king warriors, I think they would not dare to return to the Blood Sky Land."
The old lady had an evil look on her face.
The tall middle-aged man took a step forward and said with a loud voice, "The people on the ship are the members of the Full Moon Trade Team. Hand over your goods and one hundred million top rank spirit stones, and we will let you go. Otherwise, we will kill you."
The fat elder stood at the front of the ship and replied, "You are the head of the fifty robbers, the Tyrant Fish. We, the Full Moon Trade Team, do not have any conflicts with you guys. Please move aside now. Do not cause any misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding!" The tall middle-aged man laughed out loud, showing his sharp teeth. He said, "In our eyes, there is no misunderstanding. There is always obedience. If you do not obey, we will kill you all. I will ask again, do you obey or not?"
Hearing him, the fat elder started to panic. On the side of the fifty robbers, there were three top half step king warriors and seventeen half step king warriors. On their side, there were two top half step king warriors and only fourteen half step king warriors, which was a lot weaker. Besides that, although the other thirty of them were only at peak level Late Seas of Souls Realm or rank 10 tyrant beasts, being able to be in the top fifty robbers meant that they were not weak at all. They might even be able to kill half step king warriors.
What he was worried about the most was that there were so many of them, and they were only hired warriors. He wondered if they would run away.
The fat elder's worry was not without reason. Some of the people on the ship had a flicker in their eyes. They were obviously scared by the aura of the fifty robbers.
Lan Sanmei saw that and said coldly, "The Blood Sea Fifty Robbers would never leave anyone alive. Have you ever heard of anyone that they would let go?"
Lan Sanmei's words had woken everyone up. Indeed, since they had encountered the fifty robbers, they would not be able to run away. If they did not stick together, they would only die worse.
"What are you afraid of? Let's fight with them! We might not lose!"
"Everyone, let's go!"
Everyone yelled.
The tall middle-aged man's expression turned cold, "You are looking for death! Kill them all!"
As the tall middle-aged man waved his hand, the fifty robbers and the people behind them all rushed over, throwing out powerful attacks that landed on the puppet ship.
"Let's go!"
Lan Sanmei, Thunder Spirit King, and Ye Chen took the lead and left the puppet ship. The rest of them came out as well, throwing out attacks together.
