Chapter 968: Chapter 966: War Soul City!

War Soul City, situated before the Great Wall, is a city specially built for Warriors who venture into the Primordial World for training.

In this city, there are various markets selling Cultivation Resources.

Among them is the famous Tianbao Tower of the Barbarian Ancient Continent, also located within War Soul City.

There is a saying in War Soul City: "One tower, one hall, one secret gate."

The "one tower" refers to the Tianbao Tower, which sells various fine equipment, such as weapons—blades, spears, swords, halberds—as well as Miraculous Elixirs and treasures that enhance a Warrior’s strength in the Primordial World.

The "one hall" refers to the War Soul Hall, a place where all training Warriors form teams, and where special tasks are periodically released.

For instance, the War Soul Hall has established a special reconnaissance hall, which is primarily responsible for gathering information about the Demon Clan in the Primordial World.

If a large number of Demon Beasts gather and threaten the safety of the Great Wall, the War Soul Hall will issue a mission for a multitude of Warriors to dispose of these assembled Demon Beasts!

During usual times, if it’s found that the Demon Beasts on certain Mountains are congregating in excess, the War Soul Hall will also issue large-scale extermination missions. Once such a task is published, Warriors not only receive Points for slaying Demon Beasts but also earn rewards from the War Soul Hall.

The "secret gate" refers to the Black Market of War Soul City.

The Black Market has a long history in War Soul City. Because the exchange rate at the Miracle Ridge is so pitiful—one Demon Beast of the Human Elixir Realm First Layer only exchanges for ten Points—it’s seen as a rip-off. Therefore, many Warriors prefer not to exchange their hunted Demon Beasts at the Miracle Ridge’s Points Hall but instead sell them in the Black Market.

For example, a Demon Beast at the Human Elixir Realm First Layer exchanged at the Points Hall is only worth ten Points.

But if it’s sold at the Black Market, the Demon Beast’s fur can be sold for money, its Demon Blood can be sold for money, and its bones can be sold for money; the entire body is treasured. The selling price can be over fifty or sixty Points.

Over time, the reputation of the Black Market has grown louder and louder in War Soul City.

Although the Black Market exists, the Miracle Ridge has not taken action to eradicate it. Some say that Tianbao Tower is actually behind the Black Market, which is why the Miracle Ridge dares not touch it.

But these are all conjectures. No Warrior knows why the Miracle Ridge allows the existence of the Black Market.

Perhaps it is indeed related to the Tianbao Tower.

In front of the War Soul Hall, there is a square.

At this moment, six or seven men and women are standing together in the square.

Among them, a beautiful woman with an impatient look on her face says, "Oh, captain, when are we leaving for the Primordial World? It’s noon already, and I’m dying from the heat."

This woman, both in appearance and figure, is quite a beauty.

The other six men in the team are looking at the woman with ardent eyes.

Although the woman senses the gazes of these men, she does not restrain herself; instead, she wears a look of pride on her face.

These seven people are the members of the Broken Blade Team!

The Broken Blade Team is not a famous group within the War Soul Hall; their overall strength is considered at the bottom.

"Yiran, don’t be so impatient. Tang Bufan hasn’t arrived yet. He told me yesterday that he’s bringing a friend today to join our team for the expedition in the Primordial World," a slightly older man in the team said calmly.

In this team, only this man looked at Diao Yiran without any greed in his eyes, but rather with calmness.

It was as though he was completely indifferent to Diao Yiran’s figure, giving the impression that he was a monk who abstains from secular pleasures.

This man is the captain of the Broken Blade Team, named Jiang Long!

Upon hearing this, Diao Yiran scornfully sneers, "Heh, is it that Fatty who smeared his grease all over me the other day in the Primordial World? The dead Fatty I mean."

"He’s not a dead Fatty; his name is Tang Bufan," Jiang Long responds calmly.

"No difference, he’s just a Fatty, and also a Low-Level Warrior of the Human Elixir Realm Fifth Layer. It makes no difference to us whether he is with us or not," says Diao Yiran nonchalantly, "Captain, I think we shouldn’t wait anymore. Let’s set off now."

Diao Yiran speaks out irritably upon hearing that they are waiting for Tang Bufan.

Diao Yiran looks down on Tang Bufan from the bottom of her heart—not for anything else, but just because Tang Bufan is too fat.

"Captain Jiang Long, the person we’ve been waiting for so long is that Fatty Tang Bufan?" another team member says with utter astonishment.

"What, wait for him? That dead Fatty? Not only is he fat, but his strength is also low. What’s the difference whether he’s with us or not?"

"I think Junior Sister Yiran is right. Let’s just set off. There’s no need to wait anymore," the other team members echo in agreement.

Jiang Long’s face shows a hint of difficulty; he had already promised Tang Bufan, and to leave now without waiting for Tang Bufan and Lin Bai would be somewhat unfaithful.

Jiang Long sighs helplessly and was about to set off with the team.

But at that moment, ahead in the square, a fat man comes jogging up, his body fat shaking violently as if a pig were sprinting towards them.

"Senior Brother Jiang Long, sorry we’re late."

Tang Bufan and Lin Bai come over together.

Jiang Long smiles slightly, "Not late, just in time. Now that everyone is here, let’s prepare to set off."

"All right," Tang Bufan nods, "Senior Brother Jiang Long, this is my good friend, Lin Bai. Can he also join us for the journey to the Primordial World today?"

Lin Bai greets with a fist and palm salute, "Lin Bai greets Senior Brother Jiang Long."

Jiang Long returns the gesture warmly, "Perfect. The place we are bound for this time is Nine Turtles Mountain, which is teeming with Demon Beasts, mostly at the seventh and eighth layers of the Human Elixir Realm. With Junior Brother Lin Bai joining, our safety will be even more assured!"

"Then let’s go through the procedures to leave the city," he says.

Immediately, Jiang Long led the group straight towards the War Soul Hall.

Diao Yiran looks disdainfully at Tang Bufan and Lin Bai, rolling her eyes before following Jiang Long.

As Tang Bufan looks at Diao Yiran, he says, "Lin Bai, that’s the woman."

Lin Bai looks over curiously, just in time to catch a glimpse of Diao Yiran’s back.

His gaze glints coldly!
