Heroes' Prison

Chapter 202 - 200 The Singing in the Prison

Moreover, the incarnation isn’t afraid of dying, as there’s no penalty for death, it can resurrect once a day.

However, the incarnation’s attributes are only 50% of the original body’s, and this is dependent on Huang Yi’s level, the stronger his real strength, the stronger the incarnation will be.

Now, Huang Yi has essentially gained a powerful assistant, which is more precious than legendary equipment. The benefits brought by the legendary can be calculated, but the benefits brought by the incarnation are incalculable.

At this moment, he could do the work of two people by himself, but controlling the incarnation required his attention; otherwise, it wouldn’t be much use. He pulled out the treasure map he had obtained earlier, and now with the incarnation, it was a good time to explore.

Huang Yi immediately left the Heroes’ Prison, controlling the incarnation to mount the Headless Horse and dash at full speed towards the treasure location indicated on the map, while his original body continued to stay behind to kill monsters and grind levels.

Just then, a vast and ancient voice suddenly resounded through heaven and earth—

"[Mystic Realm Announcement]: Chinese player [Dao Feng], leading his Heavenly Group of five thousand members, has achieved the world’s first kill of Rotten Dragon, Bart at the Tower of Pantheons’ 50th floor, obtaining [Bart’s Blade (Legendary)]. In this kill, the member [Thunder God] contributed over 10%, earning 1000 Public Prestige points."

It was Thunder God again!

Huang Yi frowned slightly! He was making progress, but so were others, and now there was only one week left until the annual grand celebration of The Second World, with all the finalists desperately sprinting towards it. Thunder God was one of them, striving to achieve remarkable results.

Rotten Dragon, Bart was the final boss of the 50th floor of the Tower of Pantheons and the last one that hadn’t been killed first. The previous four bosses had already been vied for! Tendo’s Heavenly Group had achieved the first and fourth bosses’ first kills. Dao Feng’s Yanhuang Legion got the first kills of the third and fifth bosses. Another Chinese guild, the Hall of Famous Generals, led by General Lv Bu, claimed the second boss’s first kill.

This last boss, Rotten Dragon, Bart, was the most powerful boss on the 50th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, with exceptionally high attack power. Only two people in the world could withstand his attack—one was the world’s number one T, [Zuo You], under Japan Tendo’s Heavenly Group, and the other was Thunder God, whose strength had skyrocketed recently. Dao Feng had chosen to collaborate with him based precisely on this fact.

Thus, the only teams in the world that could contest this boss’s first kill were these two, and until now their progress had been neck and neck. Thunder God finally helped the Yanhuang Legion achieve the first kill, and his personal contribution rate also exceeded 10%, indicating he played as crucial a role as Huang Yi did when he got the first kill of the Zombie King!

Huang Yi could almost predict that in tomorrow’s forum support rate, Thunder God would undoubtedly push him down without any suspense. With just one week left until the annual celebration, Thunder God’s move had undoubtedly taken a significant advantage. And now his strength was at the same level as Dao Feng’s, far beyond the current Huang Yi.

Huang Yi felt a heavy pressure, as if Thunder God was a nemesis sent specifically from heaven to counter him, always able to catch up no matter how hard he tried, and constantly keeping him underfoot.

Huang Yi quickly adjusted his mindset and continued to charge into the Skeleton Ocean, recapturing a Skeleton Horse and resuming the fierce battle.

The long night passed amidst Huang Yi’s tireless slaughter.

It wasn’t until the first light of dawn that he finally logged off, freshened up, and went to the food hall.

"Huh? Brother Yi, you’re here too?" Just as he arrived at the food hall, a criminal asked with a slight surprise.

"What’s up?" Huang Yi stared at him.

"The boss also just happened to come to the food hall today," The criminal said with a smile, "He seems very happy, sitting right over there!" he said, pointing to the other end of the food hall.

Looking in the direction indicated by the man’s hand, sure enough, there was a group sitting in a circle, with bursts of laughter coming from them now and then.

Huang Yi picked up a breakfast and walked over to the group.

"Ah-Yi, you came too? Come sit!" At this moment, Prison Overlord Lei Shen saw Huang Yi and immediately waved him over.

"Brother Yi, good morning!" At this time, the criminals sitting in a circle around also greeted Huang Yi respectfully, each holding a beer in their hands, with a hint of a smile on their faces. They were all merry, as if it were a big celebration.

Huang Yi nodded at them and sat down next to Lei Shen.

"Here, Ah-Yi, have a drink!" At this moment, Lei Shen took out a beer from a cooler next to him and handed it to Huang Yi.

"What’s going on? Everyone seems so happy," Huang Yi asked as he received the beer, bit open the bottle cap, and took a big gulp.

Lei Shen smiled slightly, "Nothing much, just that we finally managed to get a few crates of beer and decided to drink together with everyone."

"I doubt it, the big boss must have been seeing a woman!" said one of the criminals with a sneer.

"Or maybe he got his hands on the hottest movie from Tokyo!" another criminal chimed in.

"You bunch of kids!" Lei Shen shook his head with a smile, took a sip of beer, and pointed at a handsome man across from him, saying, "Ye Xi, you used to be a singer who released albums. Sing a song to liven things up!"

"Okay!" The man smiled slightly, nodded, and seemed very easy-going.

"Clap clap clap!" Lei Shen led the applause, and everyone else followed suit, all turning their heads to watch the man called Ye Xi.

Ye Xi looked very happy and immediately began singing a song.

As he started singing, the whole canteen quieted down. Although he was singing a cappella, his voice was incredibly melodious and clear. In the oppressive atmosphere of Rose Prison, he created a sense of ethereal beauty that made listeners feel like eagles breaking free from the confines of the prison and soaring into the open blue sky above.

After the song ended, the cafeteria fell quiet, as if still immersed in the lingering sound of his voice. It was a long while before rapturous applause broke out, long-lasting and enthusiastic.

Ye Xi saw the warm applause and bowed deeply.

That moment, it was as if he had returned to a time long ago when he stood on the world’s top stages, accepting the applause from countless fans below, bathing in the spotlight, and basking in endless praise and honors...

"Thank you, everyone!" Ye Xi’s voice broke with emotion as he said thanks, his eyes reddening as he stepped out of those distant years of glory.

His choked voice instantly made the atmosphere heavy. Everyone here had a past filled with remarkable achievements. Some had won Nobel Prizes, some had been influential politicians, and others had earned Olympic gold medals, raising their national flags under the watch of the world... Now, seeing Ye Xi looking like that brought back memories of their own former splendor, filling them with sorrow.

"Let’s not be like this, everyone!" At that moment, Lei Shen pressed his lips together in comfort, though his own eyes reddened uncontrollably, possibly reminiscing about his own past. He tried to steady his voice and said lightheartedly, "We may all be locked up here, but at least we can laugh happily. We enjoy the best breakfast treatment in the world. If you were outside, would you be able to hear Ye Xi sing in person? You probably couldn’t even get a ticket, but here, we can listen to the world’s best singing just by having breakfast. Let’s look on the bright side, be more optimistic. Look at Ah-Yi, who hasn’t stopped eating since we started, undisturbed by anything. See, even as I say this, he’s still eating and hasn’t stopped. Ah-Yi, were you a starving ghost in your past life?" said Lei Shen, as he patted Huang Yi on the shoulder and asked.

"Haha!" With Lei Shen’s intervention, everyone burst into laughter, and the heavy atmosphere was instantly dispelled. All eyes turned to Huang Yi, who was busy eating his breakfast.

Huang Yi finally looked up, glanced at everyone, shook his head, and sighed, "Not full yet, I need another bowl!"

After breakfast, Huang Yi returned to his cell, closed the iron door, and connected to the internet.

His first stop was the forum.

Now, with only the final week until The Second World’s annual grand event, the competition among the finalists had reached its final stage. Driven by the finalists’ frantic efforts, the past period saw an unprecedented number of extraordinary feats. Just yesterday, three countries earned National Honor Points, whereas usually it would take several days for even a single point to emerge.

However, the successful few were in the minority. Many more had failed in their adventurous attempts to claim those feats, paying heavy prices in the process, with some even entering the cycle of death and resurrection. Risk and reward are always proportional.

"Japanese national beauty [Zhitian Shi] earned a point of National Honor Points, becoming a strong contender for the Best Charm Award!"

"Canadian Ice Mage [Xue Feng] cleared the professional secret realm Ice Pole Island in 45 minutes with lightning speed, becoming the world’s number one Ice Mage! Challenges the world’s number one Fire Magic user from Dong Huan!"

"Body of Thor, comparable to the Body of God! Withstood Rotten Dragon, Bart, for three minutes without any healer’s aid, securing a first kill for Yanhuang Legion!"

In the 24-hour hot topics, the third-ranked post was about Lei Shen’s recent heroic deed, and Huang Yi clicked in to have a look.

"If the last time Yanhuang Legion claimed the first kill of the Zombie King was thanks to Instakill’s moment, then the first kill of Rotten Dragon, Bart, yesterday was thanks to the Body of Thor! In the face of Rotten Dragon, Bart’s overwhelming attack power, Lei Shen’s defensive ability was by no means inferior to the lead Tank of Japanese Aerial Team [Zuo You]."
