Chapter 129: Chapter 129: A Blow to the Head

Translator: 549690339

A martial artist couldn’t help but speak out, “We’re all from the same training camp, would they really go so far as to harm us?”

Many of the surrounding martial artists cast disdainful looks at him. In the face of improving one’s strength, no martial artist would back down. This person harboring such naive thoughts would have to wonder how long they could survive within the fruit tree.

This isn’t the Heavenly Ladder Assessment; kindness is nothing but useless when it comes to competing for strength among martial artists, especially if you are not familiar with each other.

Guo MO continued, “That’s all I have to say. The inside of the Star Fruit Tree is another world, one with no laws and where strength is supreme. In any case, you all must be careful of both your fellow martial artists and the terrifying mutated insects. If you think your strength is insufficient, it’s best to travel in groups.”

The people from the Northwest Army seemed confident, as they were the most united team and thus had the best odds of success within the Star Fruit Tree.

Guan Shanyue added on the side, “You can now enter the Star Fruit Tree if you are prepared. Check your belongings and quickly replenish anything you might be lacking. Once you enter the Star Fruit Tree, you will not be able to leave at will until you’ve broken through to War God status. If you can’t hold on, you can return to the platform here, but you will lose the qualification to re-enter, and it will be the same as giving up automatically.”

“Breaking through to War God will make the Star Fruit Tree’s aura intolerable for you. You will also need to leave the platform as soon as possible. War Gods can’t survive more than three days within the Star Fruit Tree. Remember this well!”

As he spoke, the martial artists checked their belongings. This journey wasn’t just a day or two—it could be half a year, three to five years, or even longer. If one didn’t break through to War God, they wouldn’t be able to leave the tree unless they gave up.

Once everyone had checked their things and ensured they were fully prepared, EUO MO Issued tne command.

“Good! You have now completed the Heavenly Ladder Assessment and can enter the Star Fruit Tree. I wish you luck and hope that all of you will break through to War God status. At that time, the training camp will surely hold a celebration feast for you!”

With that, Guo MO waved his hand. “Let’s go.”

Guo MO took the lead to leave, followed by the instructors, who also descended the Heavenly Ladder. All the personnel left, and no staff remained on the platform; they no longer needed to be concerned with this group of elite martial generals.

With the instructors gone, only the 80 martial generals remained, and the atmosphere had relaxed considerably.

Huang Yinglie from Tianfu Base City spoke up, “I think our instructor may have exaggerated the dangers somewhat. Even if the martial generals that linger within the fruit tree are strong, there are also many of us here who are already level 9 martial generals. If we hadn’t come to the God Generals Training Camp, we might’ve broken through to War God status within a year anyway. Can they really be that much stronger than us?”

Song Tianming from the Southern Base City, who ranked sixth in the high-level group, also chimed in, “I think so, too. We’ve seen War God powerhouses before, and I’ve even personally defeated one in the South.”

Some people praised him, and he looked quite proud. Although he only ranked sixth in the high-level group, he was still a proud martial artist. Just then, a cry suddenly came from the distance.

“Hahaha! Lake Heart Tree, I’ve finally made it out! I finally escaped that damned place! ”

The voice seemed very far away at first, but as soon as the words were spoken, the speaker was already close by. It was obvious that the person was incredibly fast.

“Not good! A powerful individual is approaching!”

As soon as they heard the cry, everyone knew that a War God had arrived, for no one else could have such a formidable presence. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Not far away, a thin, broad, fast-moving branch could be seen. It was from there that the cry had originated. A figure broke through the barrier of massive green leaves and sped downward.

In less than 10 seconds, the person had covered a distance of several hundred meters and arrived before the group of martial artists.

People couldn’t help but smile at the appearance of the incoming martial artist. This man was dressed in tattered clothes, his hair looking like a tangled mess of weeds, with some wet strands sticking together. He appeared filthy, as if a ball of mud could be rolled off his skin with a light touch.

However, the aura he exuded was incredibly powerful, marking him as a War God or someone who had just entered the War God stage.

When this person saw the 80 martial artists, he was momentarily stunned and then burst into laughter. “Haha! These must be the new recruits who have just joined the God Generals Training Camp this year. How nice it is to see such energetic youngsters. It even makes me feel several years younger.”

Huang Yinglie stood in front of the group, with a slight sneer on his lips. “Aren’t you also a member of the God Generals Training Camp? And how much older could you be to think you’re so much better than us? You’ve probably been in this fruit tree for only about a year, so why put on airs?”

The man hesitated for a moment, and a strange smile crossed his face. “Hehe, you little ones have quite the temper. This really reminds me of when I first arrived here. However, I must correct you—I’ve been here not for one year but for a full eight years!”

“Eight years!”

The martial artists were all shocked. Even a beginner martial general could break through to War God status in eight years within the tree. How could this man have achieved so little in that time?

However, to their surprise, the man said, “Like many of you, I too was a Level

Hearing this, Song Tianming sneered, “It took you eight years to advance from a Level Nine Martial General to a War God? You’re really quite useless.”

The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Heh, I felt especially good today after breaking through to War God, thinking I could finally leave this damned place. But I didn’t expect to encounter a bunch of people like you, who don’t respect your seniors. Maybe I’ll have to teach you all a lesson about the strength of the strong ones inside the Star Fruit Tree.”

Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming stepped forward together. Both of them were Level Nine Martial Generals and were exceptional among their peers. Individually, either of them had the ability to confront a Primary War God head-on for a while. Together, they didn’t believe they would be defeated easily.

“You filthy creature, show us what you got. Let’s see how powerful we God Generals are,” they taunted.

“It took you eight years to become a War God, I doubt you’re competent. Come at us!”

The dirty War God glanced at the two and sneered, “Fireflies, daring to compete with the bright moon!”

Suddenly, he moved as if teleporting. The two only felt a fierce gust of wind as he appeared before them. They didn’t even have time to draw their weapons before they saw two fists enlarging before their eyes!

However, the two weren’t completely helpless. They each raised their arms to block, hoping to counterattack once they blocked this strike.

“Boom!”

Fist and arm collided, and a powerful force surged. Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming were sent flying with a terrible cry. Their bodies were flung off the platform, and it looked like they were about to fall to the ground below!

Neither of them were Spiritual Mind Masters. If they fell like this, they would undoubtedly die!

The crowd exclaimed in alarm, while the War God suddenly rushed after them. A strong wind whipped up, causing people to wince in pain. He caught the two just before they hit the ground, grasping their ankles and swinging them back!

Like rag dolls, the two were thrown onto a huge tree branch as thick as a small mountain pillar. They spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

The man’s performance was not over yet. He leaped to the two and stepped on their chests.

It felt like a huge mountain was pressing on their chests. They desperately tried to pull at the man’s ankles, but couldn’t budge him at all! “Is this really a Primary War God? This is a complete crush!”

“This man’s power and speed are incredibly strong. I think even an Intermediate War God wouldn’t be as strong as him. Is this the strength of a martial artist who stays inside the Star Fruit Tree?”

“Heaven! It seems he hasn’t broken through for long. Instructor Guo said that War Gods can’t stay in the tree crown for more than three days. This means he must have broken through only one or two days ago and he is already this strong.”

Lin Zhen was also slightly moved. The War Gods who came out of the God Generals Training Camp were indeed extraordinary in strength.

Moreover, this man must have obtained a special stargem that enhanced his speed and strength. That, coupled with Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming underestimating their enemy, led to such a huge gap in strength.

Of course, even if the two were prepared, they would be no match for this man.

“Are you convinced?” The man looked down at Huang and Song.

The two could not speak with the pressure on their chests, but they nodded furiously. With such a great disparity in strength, they had no choice but to submit.

Seeing this, the man finally let go and jumped off them. He grinned at the stunned crowd, “Kids, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Coughing up blood is nothing. Remember that when you’re inside the Star Fruit Tree, don’t be too arrogant in front of your seniors. There are many people with strength like mine inside, some even stronger. You can’t afford to offend them.”

After saying that, the man waved, “I’m off. Instructor Guo said he’d treat whoever graduates to a drink. I must find him. Besides, I need to clean up after being so handsome and dashing. Damn it, there are mutant beast insects in every pool of water in this place. I haven’t had a proper bath for years.” With that, he started to walk down the Heavenly Ladder.

At this moment, Jiang Huai from the Demon Capital asked, “Senior, may I know your name?”

“My name is Liang Feng. If you encounter a powerful enemy inside, you may mention my name. However, it might not help, as there are many people inside who don’t like me. It’s all up to your luck!”

With that, Liang Feng disappeared around a corner of the Heavenly Ladder, leaving quickly, clearly unable to stand staying here any longer.

Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming slowly got up, and the people looked at each other. Their previous lofty ambitions had vanished without a trace..
