Chapter 514 - 2 Rebirth

Chapter 514: Chapter 2 Rebirth

He felt as though he had been asleep for a very long time, and as his consciousness slowly returned, Lu Hong opened his eyes in confusion, only to find himself lying on a bloodstained operating table. A doctor in a white coat, his back turned to him, was preparing surgical tools.

"Who are you? Where am I?" As his consciousness returned, Lu Hong felt groggy.

Lu Hong’s sudden question startled the doctor, who turned around with a look of terror. "You... you’re actually awake?"

"What do you mean? What are you going to do to me?" Seeing the sharp scalpel in the doctor’s hand, Lu Hong’s face darkened. If he had not awakened in time, he probably would have ended up missing limbs.

The doctor put down the scalpel and explained, "My name is Luo De, and I’m not a bad person. When the young lady was fleeing from an assassination attempt, she stumbled upon you unconscious in a cave. After the assassins left, she brought you back to the City Lord Mansion. However, you have been in a deep sleep for the past two years. I tried many methods to wake you up, but none worked. I assumed you would never wake up, so I was going to use you as my experimental subject."

Lu Hong was skeptical about Luo De’s words, touched the blood-stained operating table, and said coldly, "These blood stains don’t look like they came from animals."

"I enjoy performing dissections, but those dissected have either been corpses or people who voluntarily donated their bodies for scientific contribution. Don’t get the wrong idea." Luo De opened the door of the dissection room and said, "Since you’re awake now, come and meet the young lady. After all, she saved you."

"Okay." Lu Hong nodded. Although he did not let his guard down, he still followed Luo De. There was no point in staying in this dreadful place.

Besides, he was not without means to protect himself. During his brief interaction with Luo De, Lu Hong had assessed his own situation. First, his Space Ring and the three sacred swords were gone, but the benefit he gained was the Third Transition!

Furious Blood Third Tier—Blood Madness!

At this moment, the benefits of the Lord title which should replace his Third Tier profession of Blood Madness finally emerged.

First was strength amplification, and second, the enhancement of his vitality. Both aspects could significantly increase Lu Hong’s combat abilities.

He had earned an explosive amount of experience by killing the Naga Queen with One-Sword Kill. Lu Hong was no longer at the first level of Third Transition but at the second.

However, his Great War Master profession was still stuck at Second Transition, level twelve. Lu Hong needed to cultivate himself to break through.

Third Transition was a realm Lu Hong had never reached in the game. He was not proficient enough in skill control. Even though the skills had all been imprintedin his mind by the War God inheritance during Second Transition, he still needed more practice to use the skills freely.

Soon, Luo De led Lu Hong to where the young lady was supervising a training drill.

"Miss, the man has awakened," Luo De said respectfully to the young lady.

The young lady nodded and looked at Lu Hong, her cheeks suddenly reddened slightly.

Lu Hong was all too familiar with that expression. It was the embarrassed look Anna would have only after they had intercourse.

What the hell is going on here?

"Cough, cough!" The young lady coughed lightly to show her embarrassment, then asked Lu Hong, "Have you recovered?"

"My name is Lu Hong. Thank you for your help, Miss. May I know your name?"

"My name is Ling Xuan."

"Miss Ling, may I know which realm this is?" Lu Hong wanted to quickly figure out his whereabouts so he could return to the empire and reunite with his friends.

"This is the Ling Mansion, the realm is Gandoorla, part of a large realm on the western side of the Star Domain."

"Star Domain?!" Lu Hong was startled by Ling Xuan’s answer. How could he have ended up in the Star Domain?

"What? You’re not from the Star Domain?" Ling Xuan’s eyes shimmered as she fixed her gaze on Lu Hong.

Lu Hong quickly shook his head. "No, I actually don’t even know where I am from. I seem to have some memory loss."

Ling Xuan nodded understandingly, "It’s understandable to have scrambled memories after sleeping for two years. Since you’ve lost your memory, you can stay and work at my Ling Mansion. Later, I’ll have the butler arrange a suitable position for you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Ling, but I would like to go out and see if it helps me recover my memories faster."

Now, Lu Hong was not without the ability to protect himself and didn’t need to be confined to a City Lord’s estate.

"That’s fine." Saying this, Ling Xuan took out a purple-gold silver note from her Space Ring. "Here are thirty thousand Gold Coins, consider it travel funds from me."

"Thank you, Miss Ling." Lu Hong did not refuse; he was now penniless, and it was reasonable to accept the money. After all, he couldn’t just kill someone over it, right? Moreover, there would be time in the future to repay her.

Seeing that Lu Hong had accepted the silver note, Ling Xuan spoke no further. "Then you should go, I still need to supervise the training."

After saying goodbye to Ling Xuan, Lu Hong left the City Lord Mansion and walked through the bustling streets.

The cities in the Star Domain followed a style similar to that of the Star Sea in terms of attire and appearance, with the districts and towns even more flourishing than those in the empire.

Lu Hong randomly entered a teahouse and ordered a pot of fine tea, beginning to listen to the rumors.

Among the news, one piece caught his attention.

It was about the True Dragon Empire, which had abruptly made a strong appearance in the Star Domain seven years ago.

It was said that this empire had descended overnight into the heart of the Star Domain. Despite the joint effort of four Heavenly Gods, including the Unbounded Emperor and the Scarlet Queen, nothing could be done about the True Dragon Empire. They had to acknowledge its existence, and in recent years, the True Dragon Empire had deepened conflicts with both the Evernight Star Domain and the Lofakor Pollution Star Domain to expand its territory.

At the same time, it seemed that the Maseri Star Domain was secretly allying with the True Dragon Empire to put pressure on the Lofakor Pollution Star Domain, stationing troops on the border with intentions of annexation.

Within the Star Domain, aside from the Immortal-ruled Terrifying Star Domain staying out of it, the other three major forces were on the verge of war due to the aggressive arrival of the True Dragon Empire.

Besides, Gangzela, where Lu Hong was located, was part of the Maseri Star Domain, a place that advocated for science and innovation—an advanced force. Lu Hong had a very good initial impression of the Maseri Star Domain; science and innovation—wasn’t this the ideology of his original world? No wonder Luo De enjoyed doing dissections and scientific experiments. Thumbs up!

As for the True Dragon Empire, Lu Hong knew it quite well—it must have been a new force established by a group of families led by the Long Tan Kaiero family.

He still remembered his grudge against the Family Head Kaiero, but that revenge was probably unattainable now. If the four Heavenly Gods together couldn’t handle the True Dragon Empire, the strength of that resurrected true dragon could be imagined.

Having understood his current location, the problem had become clear.

If he wanted to return to the Star Sea, there were two ways: one was through the super teleportation gates within the True Dragon Empire, direct back to the original Long Tan plane, but whether Family Head Kaiero would allow passage seemed unlikely.

The second was to cross the Death Zone on foot back to the Star Sea. Comparatively, Lu Hong favored this method more. He was already a Third Transition powerhouse, possessing the ability to traverse the Star Sea. The only question was how long it would take... Heh!

After much thought, Lu Hong decided to first try his luck with the True Dragon Empire.

So where exactly was the True Dragon Empire?

Lu Hong searched around the city but didn’t spot any shop selling star domain maps.

Being in the Maseri Star Domain, he surely couldn’t just pull someone aside and ask how to get to the True Dragon Empire, could he?

Earlier, when Ling Xuan asked him if he was from the Star Domain, her gaze was rather hostile. The people here seemed to have a strong antagonistic attitude towards outsiders; it was better not to expose himself.

While Lu Hong was aimlessly wandering around the city, Ling Xuan rushed through with three thousand house soldiers, apparently responding to an emergency, her face full of anxiety.

What? Was this his chance to repay her so soon?

Since he was idle anyway, Lu Hong got up and followed. If Ling Xuan was in trouble, helping her out would fulfill his debt.

Following her, Lu Hong reached a forest thirty miles outside the city.

Before they could go deep, sounds of fierce fighting emanated from the ravine, with the glow of magic flickering continuously.

Due to the difficulty of riding horses in the woodland terrain, Ling Xuan ordered everyone to continue on foot. However, they hadn’t gone far when hidden assassins ambushed them.

In an instant, countless arrows poured down.

Ling Xuan activated her magic power, conjuring a giant golden shield to block the attack.

But the very next second, a three-meter-long gigantic crossbow bolt whistled in, effortlessly tearing through the skill Ling Xuan had used and landing behind the formation.

A loud boom followed, with many house soldiers killed or injured.

Ling Xuan’s expression changed slightly, but with things as they were, she had no choice but to order a full assault, especially since her father was being surrounded and attacked in the ravine.
