Chapter 57: Going to the Hall of Heroes

In the following days, Li Ye stuck to Yaye all the time and tied her to his side, making it difficult for her to achieve whatever her purpose was.

After a few days, although Li Ye didn't figure out her purpose, he knew what she was looking for. In addition, his grandfather had told him that a magical object would appear near Chang'an Street.

He knew that the Kingdom Organization's target should be that sacred object.

Among the many major forces, the Kingdom Organization should have the weakest strength. The Queen is a puppet and the King is sealed. Compared with the Tiangang Dragon Riders, the Spirit Realm and the Netherworld, it is much weaker.

This can be seen from the Kingdom Organization's extremely low-key style of doing things, which saw it lie dormant for ten years before beginning to emerge.

Even the Sumeru Pearl was renamed the Kronos Pearl.

The burly blond young man at the bar counter turned out to be Gavin, the Dragon King, the fourth knight of the Kingdom Organization.

Even though the two's current strength is not as strong as in the plot, it is still far stronger than him now, so he dare not reveal his identity.

There is still some time before the divine object is born, and the Kingdom Organization should continue to lie dormant and not make any noise. Li Ye decided to act according to the established plan and go to the Hall of Heroes first.

On the eve of leaving, Li Ye and Ya were also taking a walk by the river.

The starlight and lights intertwined, reflecting on Yaye's fair and delicate face, making her already rosy lips even more attractive. Li Ye couldn't help it any longer, he lowered his head, and directly covered Yaye's cherry lips with his mouth.

Well--

Yaye's eyes widened as he stared into Li Ye's eyes. He then felt the warmth of Li Ye's mouth and instantly sank into it. He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, and immersed himself in the kiss.

The world seemed to be frozen in an instant, and time seemed to have stopped flowing.

The hot summer evening breeze blew up the girl's skirt.

The hem of the boy's shirt undulates.

The moon finally closed its eyes contentedly.

The stars nearby seemed to be blowing trumpets to congratulate.

Three days passed in a flash, and Li Ye, Gao Chong and others reunited with Chen Siwen.

The group headed to the Hall of Heroes.

……

At noon, the sky was clear and blue, like the sea, and as clear as a gem. The occasional white clouds seemed like wisps of floating soft ribbons.

North District of Zhenhun Street, the headquarters of the Hall of Heroes
The majestic black city is like a beast crawling on the ground, which makes people feel awe.

There are quite a number of Yin soldiers stationed at the city gates, and the gates, walls and watchtowers are all guarded.

From afar, one could see a black and red steel torrent, about three hundred riders, all fully armed and with a terrifying momentum, marching towards the gate of the Hall of Heroes, raising dust and clouds wherever they passed.

Leading the way was a young general in red armor with tiger patterns. He wore a kirin helmet with bright red tassels fluttering in the wind. He held a snowflake silver halberd in his hand. His face was firm and his eyes were like a dormant volcano, staring into the distance.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw dust and smoke rising in the distance, and they became nervous and terrified. They immediately gripped their weapons tightly and stared straight ahead, ready to sound the alarm as soon as they spotted the enemy.

"alert!!"

The ghost soldiers stationed at the city gates heard the sound and quickly picked up their weapons, ready to fight. Recently, there have been frequent attacks by small groups of evil spirits and monsters, so the ghost soldiers who were lazy in the past did not dare to be cunning. If they missed the important event, even if they did not die in the hands of the enemy, they would still be punished by military law!

As the smoke and dust grew thicker, the soldiers' hearts were in their throats and they dared not breathe.

It was not until the ghost soldiers opened their eyes wide and saw the face of the young man in the lead that they suddenly showed joy and finally put down their worried hearts. They shouted: "Master Jia is back! Lift the alert! Master Jia is back!!"

When he got closer, he found that the armor of the 300 cavalrymen, including the young man, was stained with blood, and the bloody aura was like a giant dragon turning over a river. When he passed by the ghost soldiers guarding the city, the ghost soldiers felt a slight sting in their skin under the armor, but their hearts were full of admiration.

The young man called "Master Jia" was not wearing red armor, but a blood-stained battle robe that was red through the armor.

After three months of fighting, we return victoriously today!
Lu Shuyu, with an untidy beard and a haggard face, was leaning against a long conference table, puffing on a cigarette. There were already five or six cigarette butts at his feet.

The people who went to invite the three martial gods have sent back news that Sun Zhantian, Cao Yanbing, and Liu Yuchan have all rejected the invitation from the Hall of Heroes. There is no news from Li Ye yet, and it is unknown what the result is. However, there has been no news for so long, and Lu Shuyu can't help but worry about Chen Siwen's safety.

At this time, a ghost soldier hurried in from outside, bowed and reported: "Report to the commander, Lord Jia Xinglie has returned triumphantly!"

Lu Shuyu's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, his face showed joy, and he said several good things in a row.

The Imperial Spirit Master asked him to report immediately, but Lu Tianyou was out suppressing evil spirits. If he left now, the Hall of Heroes would be doomed. Not even a strong man of the Great Scorching Realm was at home, and there were only a few Scorching Realm cadres, which was not enough to deter foreign enemies.

Just as Lu Shuyu was packing up the documents, a murderous aura rushed into the hall violently. A tall young man with a faint scar on his forehead came in.

"Haha, Xinglie, you finally..." Lu Shuyu smiled and walked forward, wanting to pat the man on the shoulder.

"Where's Luo Qi?!"

But he was interrupted by the man's cold voice. His eyes, as calm as a dormant volcano, stared at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Lu Shuyu's voice suddenly stopped, his face froze, and he withdrew his hand in dismay. After a long while, he said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to do the reconnaissance mission."

"What mission?" The young man's expression was relatively calm.

"The Xiliang Flying Bear Army is suspected to have appeared in the northwest region."

"I'm going to find her!" The young man said, turned around and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he heard Lu Shuyu's low but penetrating voice, which slowed the man's pace.

"Xinglie, you are her brother, not her babysitter! Does Luoqi really need to grow up under your constant protection? She has her own way to go! You are only harming her!!"

Lu Shuyu only felt a flash before his eyes, and a figure as swift as a tiger was in front of him. With hands as strong and powerful as iron clamps, he grabbed his collar. His eyes were red, like a volcanic eruption, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Lu Shuyu did not resist, but just looked at him with her eyes, without any fear.

After a long time, Jia Xinglie slowly loosened his collar, silently pulled out a chair and sat down, with his back to Lu Shuyu, his eyes lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Only then did Lu Shuyu quietly breathe a sigh of relief, finally managing to calm this guy down.

"Xinglie, I'm going to the Spirit Realm to report for my position. The base camp will be left to you." Lu Shuyu packed up his things, walked to Jia Xinglie, put his hand on his shoulder and said.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Shuyu didn't care. He smiled and was about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something.

"By the way, there are new members joining today. Go and help the Fairy Palace to maintain order and dampen the arrogance of these guys."

At this time, a soldier in armor entered the hall and shouted, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Mr. Chen is back."

Lu Shuyu suddenly raised his head and said, "Please come in!"

Chen Siwen, dressed in an elegant white robe, walked into the main hall calmly, bowed to Lu Shuyu and Jia Xinglie, and said, "Greetings to Commander Jia and Commander Lu. Siwen has fulfilled his mission and successfully persuaded Li Ye. Currently, Li Ye and his six companions have arrived at the Hall of Heroes and are now in the Records Hall."

"Very good, very good, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen. But why did they go to the Records Hall? The Soul Hosts and Soul Calming Generals invited by the Hall of Heroes can directly join the Hall of Heroes without any assessment." Lu Shuyu was happy but also a little confused.

"They said that if they don't go through the assessment, they're afraid that if others find out, they'll say they're using connections to get in through the back door." A bitter smile appeared on Chen Siwen's lips.

"Haha, you are really ambitious." Lu Shuyu showed an intriguing smile on his face.

"Siwen, Xinglie, I have to go first. I still have to report to the Spirit Realm."

After Lu Shuyu left, the young man on the chair sighed softly, with a complicated expression.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl who used to follow him everywhere has grown up.

They are brother and sister. Although they are not related by blood, they grew up together and he always thinks of himself as her biological brother.

He had been used to protecting her since she was young. Now that she had grown up and became very strong, she no longer needed his protection. For a moment, he felt a little lost.

He was extremely bored, so he took a pile of documents on the long table, looked at them for a while, gradually revealed a smile, and whispered: "The strongest human martial spirit?"

"Oh? Or the Northwest District Chang'an Street Soul Suppression Commander?! Good, very good!"

Jia Xinglie slowly stood up and stretched, his whole body crackling, like a long-dormant dragon reviving, his eyes full of excitement.

……

Hall of Heroes, Hall of Records

The Records Hall, which is usually deserted, had a long queue of nearly a hundred meters today. They were all soul-suppressing generals and spirit-hosting people who had passed the initial assessment and hoped to join the Hall of Heroes.

Although there are quite a few applicants each time, only a few can actually pass because most of the truly capable and potential soul hosts are either recruited by the Hall of Heroes or are not interested in joining the Hall of Heroes.

Most of the spirit-hosting people have their own pride and would not do such cheap behavior as cutting in line.

In the spacious hall, dozens of strong soldiers wearing heavy armor, with masks covering their faces and only a pair of scarlet eyes were stationed on both sides. Anyone who dared to make trouble would be dealt with by them.

The person in charge of the assessment was a girl with short pink hair. She was sitting on a chair, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her clear and beautiful eyes. Even when she was sitting on the chair, her pair of white and slender legs were still particularly eye-catching. Her tall figure was wrapped in a black one-piece short skirt, but it still couldn't hide her majestic whiteness. Her beautiful and yet childish face exuded a sense of heroic charm.

A youthful, flawless, and extremely beautiful face, with eyes as bright as stars, a face without makeup that is delicate and smooth, white with a rosy glow, willow-like eyebrows, and red lips and white teeth.

The girl opened her pearly teeth slightly and said in a clear voice, "This test is very simple. Use your spiritual power to condense a model of this city. Those who are behind you, if you are not sure, leave as soon as possible."

After completing this assessment, the spirit hosts who passed it will come back for the next assessment the next day. This went on for three days in a row, so it’s no wonder that the girl felt tired.

The spirit-hosting people at the back of the team all stretched their necks. No one dared to use their magical powers. Non-members could use their spiritual power at will in the Hall of Heroes, but they had to enter the Thousand Machine Black Kill to experience life.

The girl stretched out her hand and flicked it. A stream of spiritual power passed through the hall and manifested in the air a small, magnificent city complex with tall buildings rising one after another, which was extremely exquisite.

From the old men in their fifties and sixties to the young men in their teens like Li Ye and others, many of the spirit hosts frowned secretly.

This test mainly tests the control of the spirit host's use of spiritual power. A truly powerful person will never squander the spiritual power in his body in every attack. If you can't control your own power, how can you be qualified to be a leader? Many people showed hesitation on their faces. After a while, most of them chose to continue the test and give it a try. What if they succeeded? Only a small number of people left angrily.

Li Ye and the other seven were calm and composed, not showing any signs of nervousness. After all, this kind of spiritual power control training was taught by Yan Xinyue herself on Dead Soul Island.

"What is this? Why is it so complicated? Damn it!"

A strong man was so angry that his face turned red, and he left cursing all the way. "What the hell is this Hall of Heroes? It's such a rubbish, but it's still pretending to be so high and mighty. Bah, I won't serve you anymore!"

"Hey, let's go, it's so hard!"

As time went by, many soul-hosting people failed the test and left dejectedly. Currently, only a dozen people passed this test.

Li Ye and others could have entered the Hall of Heroes directly without taking the assessment, but Li Ye wanted to demonstrate his strength through the assessment to increase his chances of competing for the position of commander-in-chief in the future.
