Heroes' Prison

Chapter 571 - 547 Belief

The award ceremony ended quickly.

Countless people teleported out of the Second Dimension Space, returning to their respective continents and cities.

Dragon City of the Hero Guild was undoubtedly the most eye-catching city in the world. Millions crowded here, reveling all night long. Laughter and celebrations filled every street and alley, and the sweet wines flowed through every sewer of the city, bringing the entire city to a boil.

The entire Hero Guild had never been as excited as they were today!

However, Huang Yi, Qin Shiyu, and Xiao Chunzi did not partake in the celebrations. They were at the very top of the City Hall, standing in front of that window, quietly watching Dragon City under the moonlight.

This was their exclusive place, free from any disturbance.

"Today must be the liveliest and happiest day since the creation of our Hero Guild," Qin Shiyu said with a smile as she looked out at Dragon City, ablaze with lights. Her beautiful eyes reflected thousands of homes, making her look charming and graceful.

"If only we could be this happy every day!" Huang Yi said with a relaxed smile, full of longing.

Qin Shiyu brushed her hair and turned to Huang Yi, asking, "Now that the martial competition is over, what are you going to do next?"

Huang Yi, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the huge bright moon in the sky and said, "Having obtained the title of Martial Saint, I can now do two very important things."

"Go to Oskan Royal Academy?" Qin Shiyu guessed.

Huang Yi shook his head and said leisurely, "There’s no hurry to go to the academy; it’s possible at any time. And once I go, I won’t be able to come back for a long time. I need to take care of things on this continent first."

As he spoke, he paused, a familiar glint flashing in his eyes: "The first thing I’m going to do is achieve the world-first kill of the Level 100 boss on the Tower of Pantheons."

"World-first kill?" Qin Shiyu furrowed her brows upon hearing these two words, "That will take some time, won’t it? Most of our team hasn’t reached the Holy Domain yet! It’s a five-thousand-person mode, and you need at least five thousand Holy Domain players to compete, right?"

"No!" Huang Yi shook his head, "I’m going solo!"

"What! Solo?" Qin Shiyu was immediately shocked, "You want to solo a boss that five thousand people might not be able to take down?"

"Yes!" Huang Yi nodded, "To be precise, it’s soloing the first boss. The bosses further in are much stronger, and I’m not sure about them. But the first boss of the Tower of Pantheons is just Level 100, and though it’s a Level 100 boss designed for five thousand players, its strength is not something ordinary. But I’m not lacking either. I now have seven legendary items, and my level is 121."

As he spoke, Huang Yi started doing some math: "I have demon cores that are Level 123 to 125, meaning that as long as I level up two more times, I can surpass Level 124, making me a Mid-level Sanctuary Expert. And since I have already obtained the title of Martial Saint, my Status Level will increase by one, which is equivalent to an Advanced Holy Domain Expert, surpassing the boss by a full two Status Levels and closing the huge attribute gap. Add on my God of Slaughter’s Bestowed Attributes, and when I surpass the first boss by 25 levels, I will gain a 25% increase in All Attributes after facing it, while it will suffer a 25% reduction in All Attributes against me! With this give and take, solo killing it is not impossible."

Qin Shiyu, upon hearing Huang Yi’s analysis, immediately felt it made sense. Simply comparing attribute data, Huang Yi would be no match for a Level 100 boss made for five thousand players. Not to mention anything else, just the difference in Health Points was like night and day; the boss in five-thousand-player mode would have Health Points calculated in the billions.

But with Huang Yi leveraging both his Status Level Advantage and Level Advantage, it was a different story. The boss’s power would significantly decrease, while Huang Yi’s attributes would significantly increase, making a solo kill a very real possibility.

"So it looks like, my brother will be invincible in the future, won’t he? Sharp Sword and Dragon Spike won’t be able to match you at all! The gap in status is too large, and by then, even fewer people will dare to bully me!" At this moment, Xiao Chunzi suddenly grabbed Huang Yi’s hand, excitedly saying, envisioning a wonderful future.

"It’s like this for a short time, but it won’t last too long," Huang Yi nodded noncommittally and analyzed, "The reward vault is about to open, and it contains all kinds of treasures. Nine out of ten, there will be level-up potions. People like Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, and the Pope have won a large number of matches and have a lot of exchange stones, so they will surely be able to exchange for level-up potions and quickly break through to the Level 100 Holy Domain rank. What’s more important is that they all have their own signature treasures."

"Sharp Sword is rumored to have inherited from the Sword Emperor, and once he reaches the Holy Domain rank, he must further enhance his power; as for the Pope’s half staff, there is even less information, no one knows where that treasure comes from; the mysterious dragon scale of the Dragon Emperor is said to be related to the Three Great Top Dragon Clans, the Golden Holy Dragon Clan; the mysterious bandages of the Pharaoh, what other functions remain unseen; The Giant Bear’s beast taming whip is unfathomable, it can even summon the beast souls of extinct species, won’t he be even more formidable after reaching the Holy Domain... Relying on these treasures, they’ve fought through the trials and tribulations and reached the top of the world, it’s not at all possible that they’d be simply left behind by me. After I rise to the Holy Domain level, the Heroes’ Prison can release Heavenly Realm criminals, and their hidden treasures will naturally also be enhanced."

As Huang Yi spoke, he patted Xiao Chunzi on the head and continued analyzing, "Actually, to put it plainly, right now I’m just suppressing them with a status advantage. As long as they can pass the Hero Trial and become heroes, then the status level will become ineffective. Heroes disregard status levels. My prison has many heroes who are just over Level 100, and even at such low levels, they were famous during the Recent Ancients and Ancient Times because they were heroic figures. If their equipment’s power is restored, allowing them to return to their peak state, then they can completely contend with the average top Holy Domain experts."

"Yes!" At this point, Qin Shiyu also nodded and analyzed, "Moreover, after reaching the Holy Domain, the upgrade experience for us with Rare Classes doubles. Then, ordinary players will welcome the springtime. Players like Yang Yuheng, who is a super-first master among ordinary players, are especially like this; it’s time for them to step onto the stage. With nearly ten billion ordinary players, their arrival to spring will definitely bring forth countless new experts."

Saying this, Qin Shiyu saw Xiao Chunzi’s face filled with dejection and couldn’t help but laugh, her tone softening, "But you don’t need to worry. Your brother now has already established a great momentum, and his status as a super-first master is unshakable. Others might contend with him, but defeating him is harder than ascending to heaven!" After saying this, Qin Shiyu turned her head and looked at Huang Yi, her eyes filled with pride and trust. From a young age, in her eyes, Huang Yi had always been like a mainstay, capable of controlling any great pressure, any unstable situation.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Chunzi finally smiled again, looking up at Huang Yi and asking, "Brother, you just said you’re going to do two things next, what’s the second thing?"

"It must have something to do with the Sand Thief King, right?" Qin Shiyu’s eyes twinkled as she suddenly guessed.

"That’s right!" Huang Yi nodded, the long-missed figure of the Sand Thief King emerging in his mind.

In the past, he felt that the Sand Thief King’s figure was so vast and unshakeable. But with his progress, the Sand Thief King was no longer an unbeatable master. He had obtained the Martial Saint title, his status level had increased by one, and once his level broke through to Level 124, at the very least, his identity would not be far from the Sand Thief King’s, one being an Advanced Holy Domain expert and the other a Top Holy Domain expert.

What remained were only disparities in level, attributes, talents, and skills, and the gap in strength between them was no longer as vast as before.

Stroking his chin, Huang Yi mused, "Now, the preparations for the Heart of Religion are nearing their end, and we will soon be able to establish a religion. But I also want to create a nation, just like Dragon Spike did when he founded a nation and declared himself emperor. Creating a nation requires the Imperial Jade Seal, which is hard to come by; it requires a boss with the status of an emperor, and the Sand Thief King, being an emperor of several eras in the Desolate Sands, fits the bill perfectly."

As Huang Yi spoke, his gaze suddenly became profound, staring out the window and gazing at the vast starry sky outside, "In addition, I’ve always had a strong interest in the treasure spot of the Golden Holy Dragon. What exactly is in that Level Two Hundred Treasure Room? Why did the Golden Holy Dragon create such a trap to lure those of the Dragon bloodline to enter and absorb their bloodline? I wasn’t high enough level to enter before. But now, with the skills from my jewelry set, I can temporarily reach Level Two Hundred, and I can even release criminals of the Heavenly Domain Level, so I should be able to enter the final treasure room and take a look."

The secret of the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasure had lingered in Huang Yi’s heart for a long time. This was one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans, far surpassing the White Dragon Clan and Sea Dragon Clan, with whom Huang Yi had a considerable connection. Among the Ten Great Deity Sealers in the history of the Second World, one was from the Golden Holy Dragon Clan. Huang Yi had discovered anomalies in that treasure before, itching with curiosity but lacking the power to investigate. Now that his level had risen dramatically, he could finally unveil that mysterious veil.

"Big brother, you’re so busy!" Xiao Chunzi pressed her little face against Huang Yi’s stomach and sighed. She was the player who had accompanied Huang Yi the longest from birth; they had started their journey together. But while she played carefree every day, Huang Yi was always busy with many things.

Huang Yi smiled faintly and took Xiao Chunzi into his arms, saying, "Yes, right now there’s a very busy matter waiting for me. I reached Level 120 yesterday, but I still haven’t decided what species to evolve into!"

Some reader friends asked why not show the potion to Miyamoto Musashi, saying that even if it was given to him, it wouldn’t matter. But that’s not the case, I’ve written the reason earlier in the text, just look back and you will understand.

Sometimes it’s hard to cover all bases. If I write in detail, some readers call it padding, but when I write concisely, others don’t understand. Everyone has different preferences – some like detailed writing, others prefer conciseness, some enjoy leveling through battles, and some like warm and romantic scenes. There are those who want a female lead and others who don’t. There are all sorts of tastes. My writing ability is limited, and I’m still in a phase of learning and growth. I can only try not to offend anyone, attempting to cater to as many as possible, but of course, there are some aspects that I truly cannot cater to. In reality, every author dreams of writing a book that no one criticizes, but even the great authors cannot achieve this. One can only aim at target readers, and I understand this principle. I try to meet the tastes of more readers, thank you! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to cast your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Starting Point (qidian.com).
