Martial God Space - Chapter 373

Chapter 373

Ye Xiwen’s requirement of ‘Spirit Energy’ had gone beyond the limit of exaggeration . He needed the support of ‘Spirit Energy’ for various aspects . If there would be no ‘Spirit Energy’ at hand… then he could only rely on time and absorb it slowly . He’d be able to gradually accumulate it, but Ye Xiwen didn’t wish the speed to be so slow… nor did he look forward to such slow cultivation speed .

Ye Xiwen’s cultivation had enhanced by leaps and bounds, and his progress-speed was faster than others . However, it was very different from the progress of others . That was because he had an invincibly robust foundation . Every step that he took was more difficult than an average person’s . He had to shoulder a terrifying amount of pressure… the kind that was hard for other people to imagine . He had continued to walk step-by-step though he was burdened with so much pressure . Therefore, his foundation was bound to be more profound than the majority of people .

His ‘Heavenly Tribulations’ had always been more terrifying as well . In fact, he might’ve been killed by those tribulations if he hadn’t built a sufficiently profound foundation . This had compelled him to unceasingly work towards building a more and more profound foundation .

However, Ye Xiwen needed a great amount of ‘Spirit Dans’ at the moment . He thought for a moment . The fastest way to obtain such a huge amount of ‘Spirit Dans,’ would be to complete the missions deployed by the True Martial University .

The rewards for these missions were often very lucrative . These rewards were naturally on an entirely new level when compared to the Yi Yuan School .

The True Martial University also had one specialized ‘Merit Palace Hall’ (1) in order to issue and keep track of the status of various kinds of missions; just as the Yi Yuan School . Some missions were issued by the university itself, while some were requested by the outsiders . However, the missions issued by the university were usually better than personal requests .

That was because the university missions were more on the ‘normal’ side on contrary to the personal requests… which usually came with ‘strange’ requirements . Some people often made weird requests too . However, such strange personal requests would often bring more generous rewards .

Countless disciples used to visit the ‘Merit Palace Hall’ to undertake missions .

Ye Xiwen stepped into the ‘Merit Palace Hall’ . The tables had been arranged in rows . A disciple with profound cultivation was seated behind each table . Several of these disciples were experts of semi-sage realm . The most inferior among them were the experts of legendry’s great complete realm . In fact, there were many sage realm experts to keep an eye on the other disciples of the ‘Merit Palace Hall’ . Just like in the case of the Law Enforcement Hall — the disciples of the ‘Merit Palace Hall’ were comprised of elites, and they hailed from different inheritances .

The ‘Merit Palace Hall’ was a very large force inside the True Martial University . Its influence was no less than the Law Enforcement Hall’s . These two were the key organizations of the True Martial University; one to give rewards… and the other to inflict punishment . It was as if the university had a stick in one hand, and a carrot in the other . The Law Enforcement Hall would inflict punishments . Therefore, it could be considered as a stick . And the ‘Merit Palace Hall’ was the in-charge of distributing the rewards; so, it could be considered as the carrot . Everyone undoubtedly had a favorable opinion of the ‘Merit Palace Hall’ as opposed to the notorious Law Enforcement Hall .

Ye Xiwen arrived in front of a table . An expert of legendry’s great complete realm was seated behind it . His unrestrained aura was extremely profound . His cultivation seemed countless times superior to that of the experts of legendry’s great complete realm whom Ye Xiwen had so far come across . He wasn’t one bit inferior to the heaven’s pride level experts .

This was fairly normal . However, this didn’t mean that these disciples were fiercer than Ye Xiwen . Ye Xiwen’s cultivation time was nowhere near theirs . These people had practiced for at-least 300-400 years . Several of them didn’t have the means to step into semi-sage realm . In fact, many might not be able to venture into the semi-sage realm their entire lives . This was the harsh reality .

Their strength might not be inferior to Ye Xiwen’s . However, there was a difference of Heaven and Earth between their statuses . They were merely the inner disciples, but Ye Xiwen had been ranked as heaven’s pride level expert . He was a core disciple, and was supposed to be the primary focus of the University . There was no comparison between them and Ye Xiwen .

The reason was simple . The difference between their potentials was similar to the one between the Heaven and Earth . These people might make a breakthrough into the sage realm in the future… if, and only if they were lucky . However, Ye Xiwen had boundless future prospects .

However, one could clearly see that Merit Palace Hall’s background was very profound by merely looking at these strong experts being assigned to such duties . Perhaps, its overall strength was no less than that of the Law Enforcement Hall .

“Young fellow, which mission do you wish to pick?” that expert of legendry’s great complete realm asked . It was difficult to judge someone’s age from their external appearance . But there were several methods by which one’s approximate age could be guessed . Ye Xiwen could see that they weren’t too young… similarly, they could spot that he was very young .

“Is there any suitable mission that matches legendry’s great complete realm?” Ye Xiwen asked .

“Young fellow, you’re at half-step legendary seventh stage . You’re not qualified to undertake a mission of legendary great complete realm’s level!” That disciple of the Merit Palace Hall didn’t seem like a bad person . He merely reminded Ye Xiwen . Ye Xiwen’s strength was at half-step legendary seventh stage in his opinion . A legendry’s great complete realm’s mission wouldn’t be of ordinary difficulty for someone of this strength .

“You’re one of this year’s new comers, right? You don’t know the profoundness of this world . You should choose an ordinary mission of your level!” an expert next to that legendry’s great complete realm’s expert opened his mouth and suggested . His aura was incomparably profound . It wasn’t inferior to Ye Xiwen’s current power .

“Aren’t you Ye Xiwen? …The one who killed Fan Ming?” A disciple at the reception recognized Ye Xiwen . This suddenly attracted the attention of several people, and they looked towards him .

Every session’s heaven’s pride level experts were widely famous . This session’s heaven’s pride level expert had been chosen very recently . How they could not be well-known?

These experts of the Merit Palace Hall could be considered as elites . Their strength wasn’t inferior to those of the newly anointed heaven’s pride level experts . However, there was a difference of heaven and earth in their status . One could determine this by drawing a comparison between their respective cultivation-years .

These heaven’s pride level experts could become outstanding figures of their respective inheritances in the future… so long as no mishap would occur . They could even compete for the position of the chief . They could easily become the top-tier experts of the ‘Top 100 Inheritances’ . Then, they would stand above millions of people in the True Martial University . Not to mention that they’d rule the population of the entire southern region .

Ye Xiwen’s reputation had transcended that of the others in this session’s heaven’s pride level expert . He had dared to look down on the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall . An average person wouldn’t have the courage to do this .

Moreover, his reputation had been boosted by the manner in which the Hidden Star Peak had recently come to limelight . It had suddenly become world-famous despite being at the bottommost position in the list of the ‘Top 100 Inheritances’ . It had started to shine as brightly as a meteor .

“So… this is Ye Xiwen . No wonder he has such an unrestrained aura, and such profound martial power; he’s as strong as us!”

“Yes . The heaven’s pride level experts are incomparably tyrannical . It’ll be impossible for an average person to face them . They lead a pious life and cultivate for many years . This Ye Xiwen couldn’t be more than 50 years old, but his martial power is comparable to mine . However, I became a disciple of the Merit Palace Hall to obtain more resources than average disciples . I used to be known as a genius once . However, I’ve become another ordinary disciple in front of these heaven’s pride disciples!”

Ye Xiwen’s expression didn’t change . It seemed as if he hadn’t seen those surrounding disciples of the Merit Palace Hall . He didn’t pay any attention to the other disciples who had either arrived to pick missions, or get paid for completion of their tasks .

“Since, it’s Brother Ye… there’s no problem!” That disciple didn’t exaggerate this issue any further . Ye Xiwen was merely an expert of half-step legendary seventh stage . However, he had slaughtered a heaven’s pride level expert . The number of levels he had skipped to achieve that feat was beyond an average person’s imagination .

That disciple lined-up the mission of the rank of legendry’s great complete realm . The missions of legendry’s great complete realm and ordinary legendary realm mission weren’t same . The most trivial mission had a reward of 1 million ‘Spirit Dans’ . And the rewards gradually increased with the difficulty level . Ye Xiwen searched through the list of missions, and noticed that the one with highest reward offered 9 million ‘Spirit Dans’ . It was a personal request… for the assassination of a person . It offered 5 million ‘Spirit Dans’ extra than the second-highest paying mission . The reward for this mission was on a whole new level when compared to the others .

The description of the mission made it seem as if it required the assassination of a man named Guan Yuan Wu . He was a well-known ‘obscene thief’ in the Southern region . It was hard to tell how many respectable families he had looted . He had stolen the innocence of many women . However, no one had ever been able to catch him . He was merely at legendry’s great complete realm . However, he had practiced an extremely outstanding agility skill . Even the experts of semi-sage realm couldn’t catch him . Several sage experts had failed to catch-up with him in the past . There was a note attached to the mission’s file . It clearly indicated that this mission had been assigned to the experts of semi-sage realm and above in the past . However, Guan Yuan Wu had always succeeded in escaping .

“Young fellow, do you wish to take up this mission to assassinate Guan Yuan Wu?” that disciple of legendry’s great complete realm asked . “The surviving disciples of the Flower Butterfly Valley had personally requested our True Martial University to take-up this mission!”

He explained further since he realized that Ye Xiwen hadn’t understood his reference properly . The Flower Butterfly Valley was a small martial arts school . It constituted of female disciples only . It was far inferior to Yi Yuan School strength-wise, but it was famed since it had several pretty women . However, the Flower Butterfly Valley was destroyed by Guan Yuan Wu fifty years ago . The Valley-Head, as well a large number of disciples were plundered by him . Consequently, the Flower Butterfly Valley was wiped-out . This mission had been listed here by the disciples that had managed to run away from the valley at that time . The Flower Butterfly Valley wasn’t a big school . And everything had been robbed by Guan Yuan Wu . These 9 million ‘Spirit Dans’ were the entirety of the savings of the surviving disciples of Flower Butterfly Valley . And they had assigned it all for this mission .

However, Guan Yuan Wu had intrepid strength . An ordinary expert of legendry’s great complete realm couldn’t even withstand one move of his’ . In fact, most experts weren’t even able to catch-up with him . And those who did… were suppressed by him . The remuneration was enough to entice higher-level experts . Therefore, not many people showed interest in this mission, and this mission had been pending for decades .

“Young Ye, I think that Guan Yuan Wu practices some evil technique to absorb the Yin Yuan (2) of females, and then uses it for his practice . His martial power must’ve enhanced by leaps and bounds in the past decades . You must consider carefully before you choose this mission!” that disciple reminded Ye Xiwen .

“En! I have decided!” Ye Xiwen desperately needed ‘Spirit Dans’ . He would receive a great reward if he were to undertake this mission since it happened to be the highest-paid of all .
