Chapter 224: Chapter 224

Before long, everyone participating in the assessment had all entered through the gate of light.

Just at this moment, a trembling sound suddenly erupted above the plaza, and soon after, a piece of illusory scenery rose up from the ground. There were mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, deserts, and dense forests; it was vast and boundless, the very projection of the Slaughter Illusion Realm. Everyone inside was clearly visible to each onlooker.

"That's great, my son has been teleported to the edge of the Slaughter Illusion Realm. There's no one around him, so he can peacefully collect treasures and improve his strength."

"This is terrible, my young master has been sent to the center of the Illusion Realm. It's surrounded by people; he's likely going to face a bloody battle."

The nobility and officials on the plaza, gazing at the projection of the Slaughter Illusion Realm, located those they cared about and began discussing fervently.

At the same time, after walking through the gate of light, Zhao Letian experienced a dizzying whirl, and upon opening his eyes again, he had arrived within the Slaughter Illusion Realm.

"The Primordial Energy here is so rich."

Feeling the thick Primordial Energy hitting his face, Zhao Letian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The Primordial Energy in this place was indeed more than ten times denser than in the Royal Capital. Cultivating here would undoubtedly result in an astonishingly fast increase in cultivation.

But at the moment, he couldn't dare stop to cultivate.

Looking around, he was in a wilderness with overgrown weeds and sparse trees, along with many large boulders scattered about. Only Zhao Letian was nearby, while Mu Lei and the others had disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that the gate of light is a random teleportation array; everyone has been randomly sent away."

Zhao Letian thought to himself, and at the same time, he took out the Jade Token from his waist. There was a green arrow indicated on it, which presumably pointed toward the teleportation array to leave this place.

Apart from this Jade Token, he tried to access his Storage Ring and the Spiritual Beast Bag, but none could be opened. Even the Defensive Inner Armor he wore had vanished.

"Indeed, it's just as the Princess said, I have only the cultivation of the True Martial First Realm, Divine Soul Power, and Physical Strength have both become very weak. It feels so strange, clearly knowing that I have trained in certain Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, but I can't remember at all how to use them."

Zhao Letian focused to feel his current condition, and his brow furrowed.

Not only had he forgotten the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques he had learned, but even memories about Array formations and Alchemy had slipped his mind.

Most importantly, the inherited memories of the Dragon Clan had also been blocked.

In summary, right now, he was indeed just like an ordinary person in the True Martial First Realm, as the Princess had said – utterly unarmed and without any advantages compared to others. If he wanted to stand out, he had to rely on his innate talent.

"The Twin Martial Soul is still there; even if I rely solely on talent, I am no worse than the others."

Zhao Letian reassured himself.

This assessment tested everyone's innate talent. Zhao Letian wasn't afraid of a competition in talent. As long as his luck wasn't too bad, surviving in this place for a month should be feasible.

Just then, from behind a huge rock ahead, a figure suddenly flashed out and ran straight towards him.

Zhao Letian took a closer look, his eyes revealing surprise as he saw the person in front of him was indeed Wanyan Zheng, clad in a white robe. At the same time, Wanyan Zheng was staring at Zhao Letian with a stunned expression. Clearly, neither of them had anticipated that they would be randomly transported together—truly a case of enemies on a narrow road.

"Isn't that kid the one who ranked first in the last assessment? To actually transport him together with Wanyan Zheng, one of the top ten princes of the Royal Capital, that's interesting."

"That kid is going to be unlucky. Being able to secure first place in the last assessment only shows that he possesses a strong Martial Arts Heart, but it doesn't mean he has enough powerful innate talent. As for Wanyan Zheng, he's unquestionably one of the top ten princes recognized in the Royal Capital for his talent and strength. Even if his cultivation is suppressed to the True Martial First Realm, he's still not someone ordinary Martial Artists of the same realm can compare to."

The onlooking crowd in the plaza quickly noticed Zhao Letian and Wanyan Zheng, their eyes instantly filled with anticipation, and they began to discuss excitedly. The two of them, one the top of the last assessment and the other one of the Royal Capital's top ten princes, meeting together was bound to produce spectacular sparks.

"Kid, I've already said that though mountains don't turn, rivers do—I would always catch the opportunity to deal with you. But I didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly. Die."

After a moment of shock, a cruel sneer emerged on the corners of Wanyan Zheng's mouth, as he directly sent his palm striking towards Zhao Letian.

Last time at the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, Zhao Letian made him lose face, and now in the Gray Wolf Secret Realm, he was determined to leave Zhao Letian with no place to be buried.

Though his current cultivation level and physical condition were just like Zhao Letian's, he still didn't believe that Zhao Letian, a mere True Martial Fourth Realm, could contend with him.

Zhao Letian snorted coldly, without a trace of fear, concentrating True Yuan Power in his palm, and directly met the attack head-on.

Palms clashed, the powerful True Yuan energy spreading out, causing both to retreat. Each stepped back three steps, and neither gained any advantage.

"Damn it, if my cultivation weren't suppressed, you'd already be dead. But even so, you're still going to die."

Wanyan Zheng frowned, his face showing frustration. Immediately, he summoned his True Yuan Power again and charged forward. Even if their strength was equal, he firmly believed he could use superior battle skills to kill Zhao Letian.

"These words, you've already said three times when we were at the Heavenly Sound Pavilion. As for the result, I don't think I need to tell you, do I? You're not worthy to kill me."

Zhao Letian said indifferently, while his figure flickered, he rushed forward to meet Wanyan Zheng head-on, engaging in a fierce melee. He also had extensive combat experience, and was not afraid to compare battle skills.

Hearing Zhao Letian bring up the incident at the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, Wanyan Zheng's face turned icy, and his attacks became even more frenzied. That day's events were a great humiliation for him, and if he didn't kill Zhao Letian, it would even affect his martial path.

After another head-on punch, both shook and retreated, with blood trickling down the corners of their mouths and their arms trembling.

Wanyan Zheng didn't rush into another attack, but stared at Zhao Letian intently, feeling extremely frustrated, with a sense of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He hadn't expected that Zhao Letian's combat experience was not at all less than his own, and he couldn't gain any advantage. Continuing the fight, it was likely that it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time, but to leave just like that was something he couldn't bear to do.

Meanwhile, Zhao Letian also felt quite frustrated. Without any special techniques to deploy, killing Wanyan Zheng, one of the Royal Capital's top ten talents, was also not an easy task.

"Daluo Palm Seal, kill!"

Just then, a youth cloaked in black suddenly rushed out from behind a nearby boulder, and with a swift motion, he cast out a glittering Swastika Palm Seal, directly blasting Zhao Letian and Wanyan Zheng away, causing them to spit out blood and fly backward.
