Chapter 068: Arena - Earning Merits
Yang Chen said, "Let me see the guild emblem that the Yongbing Guild just sent." Jiang Nan didn't know what Yang Chen was planning, but he still tossed him a storage ring. Yang Chen directly activated the Nine-Pointed Star, engraving the Hexagram mark on these emblems, and then threw them back to Jiang Nan, saying, "Alright, Jiang Nan, let a few more members handle these tedious tasks; it will be more efficient."
"Sure, as long as they wear the guild emblem, they are part of our Shadow Kill Yongbing team, no need for registration," Jiang Nan replied. He then called over dozens of members from the Shadow Kill Yongbing team, instructed them on what to do, and then followed closely behind Yang Chen.
"Leader, why did you establish these nine Arenas? Are you going to have them fight?" Jiang Nan asked.
"Pretty much. Let's count the numbers; it should be enough," Yang Chen said. He then jumped onto one of the Arenas and raised his voice, "Anyone from my Shadow Kill Yongbing team can come up here to duel. Those who achieve five consecutive wins will become Squad Leaders, commanding five people. Ten consecutive wins will make you a Team Leader, commanding two Squad Leaders. A hundred consecutive wins will make you a Hundred Leader, commanding ten Team Leaders. Those at the Battle Emperor level will directly be appointed as Thousand Households! Commanding ten Hundred Leaders. These nine Arenas belong to the nine battalions of my Shadow Kill Yongbing team: Tian Sha, Po Jun, Bloodthirsty, Qi Sha, Tan Lang, Ju Men, Lu Cun, Lian Zhen, War Star. Wherever you fight in an Arena, your achievements will be attributed to that battalion. As long as you achieve results in battle, someone will record them."
"Ha! Is this like an examination officer? I like it, ha ha."
"Fighting can earn you official positions; the City Lord is indeed generous."
"A Battle Emperor can directly become a Thousand Household? Ha ha! I, Danqingzi, can directly command a thousand people now?" Danqingzi exclaimed loudly. With this decision from Yang Chen, many who were hesitating quickly joined the Shadow Kill Yongbing team; the atmosphere became unexpectedly lively.
"Any member below the Battle Emperor level who can defeat any Battle Emperor strongman will also be considered a Thousand Household. If you are a Battle Monarch, then you will be directly appointed as a Ten Thousand Household. As for Battle Sovereigns, well, given our current situation, we don't have any Battle Sovereign strongmen interested yet. So we must strive! We must be proactive! In the future, you will be Ten Thousand Households; you will be Battle Sovereigns; you will be Battle Saints!"
"Good!"
"Good!" The crowd cheered and shouted.
"Our Shadow Kill Yongbing team is a whole; we are one big family. No one is allowed to engage in petty actions against any individual or group of members. No sabotage is allowed, and private duels are prohibited! Additionally, those who lose must not harbor feelings of jealousy; losing is simply losing—there's no reason behind it. I do not forbid you from fighting each other; however, any level of combat must be fair and without any manipulation. If anyone deliberately lets another win to elevate their position, they will be demoted by three ranks!"
"Yes!"
"Good!" Everyone responded in unison.
"What a tight regulation, and it leaves no room for error," Ying Mo said with a nod of admiration.
"Indeed, Yang Chen's speech has completely ignited everyone's fighting spirit! As long as you are willing to work hard, you can step on others and become the one in power. This young man is definitely not an ordinary person," Elder Three nodded in appreciation.
"Our Shadow Kill Yongbing group has no major rules, only four strict regulations!"
"Do you remember them?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes!"
"Good, do you want to fight? Then let's fight!" Yang Chen shouted angrily and jumped down from the Arena. The others then rushed onto the Arena to engage in battle.
"Jiang Nan, I'll leave things here to you," Yang Chen said.
"Alright, I guess I'm just a laborer," Jiang Nan complained.
"If you keep complaining, you'll become a little nagging woman," Yang Chen teased. After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Jiang Nan and headed alone to the Yongbing Guild. Instead of watching their boring matches here, he preferred to see Luo Xi at the Yongbing Guild and directly engrave marks into the guild emblem.
A day passed like this; it was the most relaxed day for Yang Chen. He only needed to engrave some marks, and the rest of the time was spent casually chatting with Luo Xi, sometimes delving a little deeper into topics. After a day, the tedious matters were almost handled; out of fifty thousand people in the city, thirty thousand had already joined the Shadow Kill Yongbing group, and Luo Xi had also upgraded the Yongbing group to level seven. This was already the maximum authority within Luo Xi's power.
On this day, the Yongbing Guild had already forged seventy thousand guild emblems. Yang Chen had engraved marks on all of them and had instructed the Yongbing Guild to continue producing more. They were not needed at the moment but would definitely come in handy in the future.
After arranging everything, Yang Chen arrived at Tang Feng's small house and felt the heat in the air from a distance. Pushing the door open, he walked slowly forward. Gradually approaching Tang Feng, he saw him focused on controlling the flames, forging the Bone Fang of the Dark Two-headed Dragon. The Bone Fang was no longer bent but had become straight. However, it still did not meet Tang Feng's requirements in terms of length.
"Brother Tang," Yang Chen called softly.
"Brother, you're here. Just in time, you can take over for me; just input your fighting energy into this furnace," Tang Feng's voice was filled with weakness.
"Alright, let me handle it. Brother, you should go rest," Yang Chen said with emotion. He knew that Tang Feng had not closed his eyes for nearly two days and had been continuously supplying fighting energy. Yang Chen sat cross-legged and slowly began to channel his fighting energy into the furnace.
Tang Feng stood up and said, "Brother, I will rest for half a day. You must call me in two hours."
"Okay, brother, go rest now," Yang Chen replied.
"Mm." Tang Feng walked back to the inner room. Yang Chen knew that if he hadn't come, Tang Feng would have been able to hold on longer due to his solid strength. However, mentally he would have become disoriented, which could lead to mistakes. So as soon as he arrived, Tang Feng went to rest to prepare for the upcoming forging.
Yang Chen focused intently on the pure white Bone Fang, not allowing himself to relax for a moment. Although it consumed 1% of fighting energy every minute, it also recovered 0.1% of fighting energy each minute, which was quite favorable. This did not even account for the absorption of life essence. At the same time, the Demon God Strategy was continuously operating within him to enhance his life essence. The Life and Death Sphere remained about the same size without significant improvement, but both the Life Sphere and Death Sphere had expanded considerably.
As Yang Chen channeled his fighting energy, he diligently operated the Demon God Strategy to recover his fighting energy. Although he couldn't keep up with the consumption rate, he could at least last for another four hours. As time passed, after two hours, Yang Chen still had 21% of his fighting energy left; theoretically, he could last for about another hour. However, there was no sign of mental recovery. After two hours of continuous effort, Yang Chen's eyes were already exhausted.
"I can't give up easily; brother hasn't come out yet!" Yang Chen roared inwardly. After saying this, he struck his chest with one hand and spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly feeling more energized. Coincidentally, the blood he spat out splattered all over the two white Bone Fang, creating streaks of crimson.
"It should be fine," Yang Chen said nonchalantly before continuing to channel his fighting energy.
