Heroes' Prison

Chapter 244 - 239 Life Mystery

However, at this time, he already had no more time to think, as the woman was nearly upon him. The high heels of her shoes struck the ground, creating a hole and revealing her tremendous strength.

"Pursuit!" In the next moment, Huang Yi charged toward the woman, while the hammer in his hand smashed down fiercely. His charge distance was 40 meters, and the woman was only 20 meters away from him, just half the distance.

"Whoosh!" Huang Yi’s figure, like a series of shadows, flashed by; the hammer slammed heavily onto the woman. The timing of his strike was perfect. Hitting someone while moving at high speed was incredibly difficult; it was almost in the blink of an eye that he passed through, and if he had been even a bit slower, he would not have managed to hit her.

After being hit, the woman’s body merely swayed before stabilizing. Her fingers turned into claws as she viciously reached for Huang Yi, like a steel claw, likely to tear off flesh upon contact.

But at this moment, Huang Yi’s charge distance was not yet complete, almost instantly he surged to a distance. Then, he refracted and charged at the woman for a second time, his hammer striking her once more, while he dodged her counterattack yet again.

Like this, Huang Yi’s body was like a phantom, repeatedly charging at the woman and then dodging her attacks, doing so five times in a row, akin to a Five-Stage Slash. And the final charge brought with it a dizziness effect, stunning the woman for two seconds!

"Heavy Judgment!" Seizing the opportunity, Huang Yi immediately executed his most powerful single-target attack, tripling his attack as he smashed down at the woman.

The hammer was instantaneously covered in a sharp golden light, bringing the force of ten thousand pounds as it struck the woman’s body, like a miniature sun plummeting down.

"Thud!" The next moment, the surging power penetrated the woman’s body, wreaking havoc inside her, inflicting massive damage!

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

After three consecutive Heavy Judgments, the woman’s body exploded, turning into an Essence of Life that was absorbed by Huang Yi.

This was the first time Huang Yi used Heavy Judgment, achieving a triple attack effect, which instantly yielded miraculous results.

But he could only unleash four Heavy Judgments, as his Rage limit was only 120 points, of which the Orange Weapon had added an extra 20 points. Now that the Orange Weapon was Level 50, it was somewhat low-grade for the Level 60 Huang Yi. Once he switched weapons, his Rage limit would revert to 100 points.

Huang Yi continued to advance, encountering bizarre residents along the way, all of them somewhat unreasonable, almost like madmen. But their strength also increased more and more. At last, after covering one-third of the distance, Huang Yi was killed by a formidable butcher.

Upon dying, Huang Yi was instantly teleported out, no longer having a second chance to try. To continue attempting, he would have to pay another ten thousand Gold Coins. However, even if he tried again, he simply would not be able to make it through; his strength was still too weak.

At this time, the waiter saw Huang Yi emerging and immediately pasted on a smile, warmly greeting him, "Seeing how quickly you’ve come out, you must not have completed the challenge, right? No problem, as long as you’re willing to spend fifty thousand Gold Coins, we can switch your challenge secret realm for you! Everyone’s secret realm is different and fixed; your next visit will still be to this secret realm. So, what do you think, do you need to switch secret realms?" He finished, his eyes flashing eagerly, as if filled with Gold Coins.

"No need!" Huang Yi shook his head and left the place.

He now had a general understanding of that challenge; something was definitely off about that secret realm. It was impossible for him to be killed a third of the way through with his current strength—he must have missed some trick. Once he discovered it, he could proceed further.

His strength indeed was still lacking. Both Dao Feng and Thunder God had raised their main attribute war souls beyond the 8th Stage and successfully transformed once before finally completing the Guild challenge. And yet, Huang Yi’s two war souls were not his main attribute, and he had not undergone the transformation, so there was much room for improvement.

Afterwards, he left the Guild Hall and went to the Warrior Hall in Tiantai City, where he spent fifty thousand Gold Coins to awaken his third War Soul.

This time, the War Soul he awakened was that of Attack, which was his main attribute.

However, he was not yet able to enhance it, as he had already used up 14 layers of his layer limit, leaving only the last layer reserved for the Life Soul’s 9th Stage.

After awakening the third War Soul, Huang Yi left the Warrior Hall, ready to return to his base.

"Great news! Great news! The Zi Wuyan Adventure Group has discovered an Ancient treasure and will be holding a grand auction at eight o’clock in the evening five days from now, in Tiantai City. There will be various treasures up for auction, including high-level runes, Orange Gear, materials, and more! Entrance tickets are now on sale, a thousand Gold Coins each!" Passing by the auction venue, Huang Yi suddenly heard a waiter’s cry coming from the entrance.

"It’s the Zi Wuyan Adventure Group! This auction is definitely going to be explosive!" The crowd immediately buzzed with discussion.

"What is the Zi Wuyan Adventure Group?" A few were utterly clueless.

"No way, you don’t know about Zi Wuya Adventure Group? Zi Wuya Adventure Group is one of China’s top ten adventure groups, on par with Yun Sihai Adventure Group, Fried Chicken Adventure Group, Madman Major Adventure Group, and other famous groups. They roam the continents all year round, searching for treasures. I bet Zi Wuya’s group has struck it lucky and found a big treasure spot, then took the treasures to auction for money."

"Duoduo, why don’t you buy an admission ticket? With all the money you have, it might be better spent on treasures that can enhance your power. Zi Wuya Adventure Group is trustworthy, and it’s worth buying their admission ticket. If they didn’t bring out good items for sale, it would smash their reputation, and no one would attend their auctions in the future."

Zi Wuya Adventure Group! Huang Yi had heard of this adventure group, they were one of the most famous in the China region, having discovered many treasures and held numerous special auctions, each time selling a huge amount of valuable items, making their fame resound through the continent. Their auction tickets had to be bought, creating a brand effect. If ten thousand people participated in the auction, just the income from the tickets alone would reach ten million!

Now, Huang Yi had money to spare; he often cleared the Tower of Pantheons, and his drop rate was extremely high, producing batches of Purple Gear every day, which he would sell for money. He already had three million Gold Coins on him, more than enough to buy a bunch of good items.

"Give me a ticket!" Huang Yi took out a Gold Bar and handed it to the attendant, a single Gold Bar being equivalent to a thousand Gold Coins, ranking below Diamond Coins.

"Right away! Here you are!" The attendant accepted the Gold Bar and handed Huang Yi a ticket with the unique emblem of Zi Wuya Adventure Group on it that couldn’t be forged.

With the ticket in hand, Huang Yi had many thoughts. He was about to form his own guild, which would surely need to be divided into various groups. Having the Treasure-Sniffing Cat’s ability, he would be an unrivaled asset in treasure hunting. Once the guild was established, he could personally lead an adventure group to search for treasures in different regions of the continent.

Huang Yi tucked away the ticket and teleported back to his base, where he reunited with Xiao Chunzi and Qin Shiyu to continue grinding in the Tower of Pantheons.

...

Days went by.

More and more criminals in Rose Prison completed Rare Quests, and the atmosphere in Rose Prison was no longer gloomy but rather thriving. The prison had become a fortress, beyond the reach of the outside world. Not even the World Federation could harm them now; as long as Era Corporation stood, Huang Yi and the other criminals would remain safe.

That day, Huang Yi logged on early. He was now Level 61, ranking 51st on the level leaderboard in the China region and it was difficult to climb higher quickly.

As usual, he checked the Medicine Bottle, which still produced a drop of a Common Potion today, not very useful, so he stored it in his storage ring.

Then, he activated the Eye of Time, spending two thousand Energy Points to check the success rate of the 9th Stage of War Soul.

"Hmm?" Huang Yi was slightly startled, then curled up the corners of his mouth with glee!

He succeeded again!

And this time, the bonus was the maximum 10%!

After a long wait, even forfeiting a successful chance before, he finally achieved this success, the long-awaited 10%!

Huang Yi didn’t hesitate, immediately raising his War Soul to the 9th Stage! This required the expenditure of a full Level’s worth of Experience Points, dropping his hard-earned Level 61 down to Level 60, plummeting his rank in the process.

But his power did not drop; rather, it increased!

The next moment, he received a System Prompt!

[System Prompt]: Congratulations, you have raised your Life Soul to the 9th Stage, current effect: Health Points +10%. Your Life Soul has reached the state of Great Accomplishment, comprehending the Life Mystery: Health Points are further increased by 20%. Only one Mystery can be activated at a time.

This shot Huang Yi’s Health Points up by a full 30%!

In addition to the 10% from the 9th Stage, there was an additional 20% from the Life Mystery. This was a fixed effect, after achieving War Soul Mastery, every player could comprehend the Mystery of that attribute, further boosting it by 20%!

For Huang Yi, this Life Mystery was only temporary, his ultimate pursuit being the Attack Mystery. As only one Mystery could be active at any one time, once he activated the Attack Mystery, the Life Mystery would no longer take effect.

——I finally resigned today! It’s been a long time since I’ve sent a thank-you list. I will organize and post the list of thanks for this period tomorrow. Thank you all for your support along the way.
