Ye Chong became famous after this battle.
Su City was in an uproar! Eastern Cloud was in an uproar! The news spread like wildfire, from Su City to every corner of the world. In a very short period of time, the Western Frost and the Southern Continent had already received the news. The scattered small countries also quickly received the news.
The world was shocked!
Xuan Ning was already the best shooter in the world, and yet he had lost to Ye Chong. This battle cemented Ye Chong's status in the world, and his title of Close Range Combat Master was well deserved.
The citizens of Su City were in high spirits. To them, this unique battle was so mysterious. How could they not be excited to be able to witness a scene that would go down in the annals of history? Besides, Ye Chong did not expect the battle between him and Xuan Ning to be so spectacular to the commoners. After the battle, Ye Chong became the idol of many.
The first Close Range Combat Master in the history of Eastern Cloud was born in Eastern Cloud, and the people of Eastern Cloud were proud of it. In their eyes, Ye Chong had become a symbol of Eastern Cloud. However, to the ambassadors of other countries, Ye Chong was someone they respected, feared, and hated. In their eyes, a Master of Close Combat was nothing. However, some people, like Mu Chen, quickly found out about Ye Chong's recruitment, and began to worry.
Combat became the most popular profession in a short period of time. However, the other combat experts were just for show. Only by becoming Master Ye's disciple could one be considered a true combat practitioner.
Ye Chong's brand was established without the need for any extra promotion. Soon, the recruitment of Master Ye's second batch of apprentices would begin. The young people who were regretting missing out the last time were now looking forward to it.
Compared to Ye Chong's fame, Duan Qian being the only close range combat expert in the top 8 was also a piece of news. That was how Duan Qian came to be known as "Little Ye". Although he respected Ye Chong like a god, he still hated this nickname.
As long as one was a genius, they would never be willing to be called "number two".
The whole of Eastern Cloud was in a frenzy to learn martial arts. This was exactly what Sun Sieha wanted. Very soon, Sun Sieha announced a series of measures to promote this trend. For example, he distributed basic combat textbooks to all regions, written by Ye Chong. The book quickly spread to other countries in the continent, and became the most influential book in the next few hundred years.
Almost at the same time, the military also issued a document to raise the recruitment standards. It added physical strength requirements, and at the same time, they began to recruit soldiers who were proficient in combat. The treatment was extremely good, but for the time being, no one was interested.
During this period of time, the city of Su could be said to be surging like a storm. Many events had an extremely important impact on the future of the continent. Knowledgeable people like Mu Shen had already noticed that Eastern Cloud was slowly growing in power.
Ye Chong did not care about these things. Once the exhibition match was over, he returned to his manor. Duan Qian, who wanted to be his disciple, could not find the opportunity.
The first thing Ye Chong did when he returned to the manor was to summon Sha Ya.
Ye Chong asked, "What kind of place is Darkniss?"
Sha Ya looked at Ye Chong suspiciously. She did not expect Ye Chong to ask her this so urgently. "Darkniss? Why are you interested in it all of a sudden? "
However, she knew that Ye Chong would not answer her. She paused for a moment, then said, "Darkniss is a strange and dangerous place. Normally, only Level-7 or Level-8 experts could enter Darkniss. The outskirts of Darkniss are the Desert and the Mist.
The Desert is always covered in sand and dust. It is very barren, and it is difficult to see other creatures. However, the creatures that can survive in the Desert are all very strong. As long as they do not run into dangerous creatures like the sand scorpions, it is not too dangerous for shooters above Level 6. It is impossible to fly an aircraft in the Desert. Sandstorms can blow up at any time. It is very dangerous.
After crossing the Desert, one would enter the Mist. Unlike the dry and arid Desert, the Mist was a forest, shrouded in purple mist. It was very humid. The plants there are very dense. If your parapsychic sense is not strong enough, it is best not to enter the Mist. You will have to rely on your parapsychic sense to scan your surroundings. There are many creatures in the Mist, but they are not large. Most of them are insects, but they are difficult to deal with. They usually come in groups. Besides, there are many dangerous plants in the Mist. It is a very dangerous place. "
Ye Chong suddenly asked, "Is the mist purple?"
Sha Ya nodded and replied, "Yes."
Seeing that Ye Chong was silent again, Sha Ya continued, "Once you leave the Mist, you will enter Darkniss. Darkniss is underground. There is no sunlight there, and red lava flows everywhere like a river. Darkniss may not have sunlight, but there are plenty of plants there. It is much more luxuriant than the Desert, which I have always found strange.
The creatures in Darkniss are very strong. You can lose your life if you are not careful. There are gravstones everywhere. Gravstones are a special product of Darkniss, and can only be found there. "
Ye Chong knew that the gravstones Sha Ya was talking about were metals. However, they were probably not natural metals, but minerals with a high content of metals.
"Shooters who enter Darkniss will usually bring gravstones with them. They are very rare materials, and can be traded with weaponsmiths for weapons that are not easily damaged. That piece of turtle-patterned wood from last time also came from Darkniss. Darkniss is rich in resources. Due to the geographical differences, the materials produced in Darkniss are very different from those produced in the outside world. Unfortunately, very few people can enter Darkniss. Besides, we have to pass through the Mist and the Desert, so it is impossible to fly aircrafts.
There are many ferocious creatures in Darkniss. The deeper you go, the more ferocious they become. The deeper parts of Darkniss that we are talking about are only about ten days into Darkniss. No one has ever been to the deeper parts of Darkniss. The deeper part of Darkniss that we are talking about now is only a dozen days or so after entering Darkniss. No one has ever reached the deeper part of Darkniss.
Ye Chong suddenly remembered the red-tailed beast sent by Western Frost. He asked Sha Ya, "Have you ever seen a creature with a red arrowhead tail?"
Sha Ya thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No. There are too many creatures in Darkniss, and all of them are very strong. We try our best to stay out of their territory. Besides, the creatures in Darkniss have their own territory, and will not cross it. "
"Oh." Ye Chong was intrigued. "They won't cross it?"
Sha Ya nodded. "Yes. This was actually very strange. Ever since Darkniss was discovered, people have been worried that the creatures in Darkniss would escape. As you know, there are too many strong creatures in Darkniss. We have found a few of them that are as strong as Level 8 shooters. There are even a few that Level 8 shooters cannot handle. Who knows if there are even stronger creatures in the deeper parts of Darkniss? If these creatures escape, it will be a disaster for humanity. No country can defend against them.
However, there has not been a single incident like this since Darkniss was discovered. Oh, now that I think about it, there seems to be a giant in Yedda City. Its entire body is covered in heavy stone armor. However, it only appeared once before disappearing. Duo Ka and the others were worried about this. Sigh, I just didn't expect … "Sha Ya felt sorry for Duo Ka and the others, but then she remembered that Ye Chong had something to do with their deaths, and stopped herself from lamenting.
She suddenly remembered that Ye Chong was in Yedda City at the time. She asked curiously, "Haven't you heard about this?"
How could Ye Chong not know? No one would have guessed that the black armored giant was Ye Chong's mech, Celest. Ye Chong finally understood why Celest was attacked by Duo Ka's mech in the forest.
"I've heard about it." Ye Chong felt strange, but he focused on what Sha Ya had just said. If there was a territory, how did the red-tailed beasts escape? Besides, Ye Chong did not believe that creatures as ferocious as the red-tailed beasts would follow the rules of their territory. They were born with a strong desire for expansion. Besides, judging from the red-tailed beasts' thirst for energy, it did not make sense. The planet was rich in energy. In the eyes of the red-tailed beasts, it was a juicy piece of meat.
But now, the red-tailed beasts did not come out of Darkniss. That was strange.
However, Sha Ya knew nothing about it either. Ye Chong realized that he had more questions than ever. He would have to enter Darkniss himself to find out the answers to these questions.
However, it was still too early for that. Even a Level 8 shooter feared a place like this. Ye Chong knew how dangerous it must be. Without sufficient preparation, Ye Chong would never enter Darkniss. He would never joke around with his life.
Since all the questions pointed to Darkniss, Ye Chong began to plan. Ye Chong, who did not pay much attention to the training, began to pay more attention to the training. It was impossible for him to enter the depths of Darkniss alone. If the red-tailed beasts really lived in the depths of Darkniss, Ye Chong knew that they would not fight alone.
Ye Chong had 5000 slots to build his own personal guard. This was the deal he made with Sun Sieha when they first met. This time, he had promised Sun Sieha to promote Eastern Cloud's close range combat. One of the most important terms was that Ye Chong could choose the trained soldiers first. Ye Chong could also choose soldiers from other regiments besides the First Army and the Royal Guard Battalion to form his own personal guard, with the exception of high-ranking military officers.
5000 soldiers was enough for Ye Chong. He could not afford any more. He might have enough funds now, but it would cost a lot to build a 5,000 strong personal guard. It was already good enough that Sun Sieha didn't play any tricks on him, so why would he give him a subsidy?
Money was not the most important problem. The most important problem was the people. Ye Chong could see that these shooters did not meet his requirements. Ye Chong did not think that mid-range combat would be of much use. Besides, the fighter aircrafts here were too primitive. Ye Chong did not expect them to become close range mech pilots like him. Long range mech pilots were favored here, both in terms of resources and materials. However, the people here were the weakest Ye Chong had seen since he left the trash planet.
Their bodies were good enough for piloting fighter aircrafts, but if they were to pilot mechs, they would not be able to handle the strain of changing directions. Ye Chong thought that this was not good enough.
Under these circumstances, Ye Chong had to train them himself. This was why Ye Chong began to pay more attention to their training.
As Ye Chong gained more attention, the people here had a hard time. The training became more intense. All sorts of strange training methods that no one had ever heard of were torturing the 20,000 people. Every day, they ran until they were exhausted. Many of them trembled even when they were eating.
To strengthen their bodies and reduce the number of injuries, Ye Chong brewed a large amount of medicinal agents.
The glowing green liquid gave off a nauseating smell. Everyone held the cup in their hands, their faces green. Many of them looked conflicted. Even Liao San, who was the embodiment of the devil in the eyes of the students, could not help but feel sorry for them. What he rejoiced the most in his heart was, 'Damn it, I'm lucky that I'm here to supervise and not to train!'
Gui Gui's pale face also twitched. She looked at the group of female students who were on the verge of tears with a rare look of pity in her eyes. She floated back a few steps. That smell was really unpleasant.
However, everyone's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the expressionless Grandmaster Ye who was standing on the high platform. These days, while they had been isolated from the world, news of Master Ye's victory over Xuan Ning still reached the training ground. Ye Chong's reputation had reached its peak. Everyone worshipped him, and everyone became more enthusiastic about their training.
However, this thing …
The glowing green liquid was still giving off steam, but the nauseating smell was slowly tormenting their fragile nerves.
The first to drink it was Shu Mo'er! She closed her eyes and resolutely gulped down the cup of liquid.
Everyone, including Ye Chong, was shocked by this.
With someone setting an example, the others did not hesitate anymore. They gritted their teeth and gulped down the liquid.
Strangely enough, the liquid smelled disgusting, but it didn't taste that bad.
The effect of the liquid was obvious. From then on, fewer people were injured. From then on, this liquid became a daily drink for this group of people.
Ye Chong looked down at the tanned young men. Their bodies were much stronger than before, but they were still far from Ye Chong's standards. This could only be done slowly. How many of these 20,000 people would eventually reach his standards? Ye Chong could not be sure. To shorten the time, Ye Chong announced that he would be recruiting a second batch of students.
However, Ye Chong was satisfied with the fact that these people behaved like soldiers. As the supervisor, Liao San's behavior directly influenced the behavior of these 20,000 people. He was a pure soldier, and he was most familiar with the methods used in the army, so he naturally implemented a full military management here.
In his opinion, it was a waste to send him, the deputy commander of the Royal Guard Battalion, here as a supervisor. However, since he was here, it was his style to complete his mission meticulously.
It was expected that the people who graduated from this training camp would be familiar with the military style. This was what Ye Chong needed.
The celebration and the national combat tournament were finally over. Ye Chong could now focus on other things. The weapons design competition would be held a week later. In the meantime, Ye Chong planned to renovate his manor. It was too simple for a military base.
Sun Sieha looked at Xuan Ning, who was still unconscious, with a sour expression. Xuan Ning was strong, but Sun Sieha did not value him. Xuan Ning was experienced and loyal. He was the one who had been groomed by Sun Sieha. Besides, Xuan Ning was an upright man, with a pure military temperament. Sun Sieha liked him a lot.
Sun Sieha was frustrated. Why did he hire a madman to fight against Xuan Ning? Sun Sieha was extremely vexed. That madman, that murderer! Sun Sieha had cursed Ye Chong countless times in his mind.
However, the main responsibility for this incident was still on him. Sun Sieha knew what kind of person Ye Chong was. He also knew what kind of person Xuan Ning was. At the time, he was only thinking of how to boost Ye Chong's reputation, and neglected the personalities of the two men.
Xuan Ning was serious, straightforward, and full of killing intent; Ye Chong was more serious, straightforward, and full of killing intent!
If the two of them were to meet, it would be a disaster!
Sun Sieha had another question, and that was Ye Chong's decision to recruit students for the second time. Sun Sieha was overjoyed by Ye Chong's request, and agreed on the spot. However, now that he had calmed down and thought about it, he could not see through it. From the beginning, Ye Chong had never been interested in recruiting students, and it was only because of a series of conditions that he had bargained for. Now, however, Ye Chong was asking for a second batch of students. How could Sun Sieha not be confused?
Sun Sieha did not understand Ye Chong's motive behind this. (To be continued, for further information, please log on to WWW .CMFU.COM. More chapters. Support the author. Support original reading!)
