Heroes' Prison

Chapter 745 - 710: Return to Hero’s Continent

"’Desire Arises from the Heart’ is all flash and no substance, impressive in appearance but not in utility!" Huang Yi sighed as he glanced over the National War Post on Hero’s Continent.

In battles on the scale of a national war, the outcome is primarily determined by two factors. The first is the combat power of the army.

On this point, Chinese players are undoubtedly the strongest in the world, with a whopping 29 National Honor Points. No other country in the world has such high honor points; Chinese players on Hero’s Continent get a 29% increase in all attributes.

The second factor is the commanding ability of the leader. A review of some of the famous battles in history reveals that most victories are inseparably connected to the strategic plans devised by their leaders. A good commander can sometimes be even more important than the entire army.

History is full of examples of battles won by the few against the many, such as the famous Battle of Fei River, where Eastern Jin with merely 80,000 troops defeated the Former Qin’s 800,000-strong force! This has a lot to do with the commander’s commands.

Clearly, ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ is not a good commander. Despite leading the superb Chinese players, he was still defeated by Miyamoto Musashi, T.N.T, and The Pope’s Tri-nation Coalition. It’s like the Former Qin in the Battle of Fei River, who, though vastly outnumbering their foe, still couldn’t win the war.

With Indonesia and India joining the fray, the future of Hero’s Continent will undoubtedly become even more challenging. If ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ doesn’t achieve some results as a commander soon, he might face condemnation from all Chinese players. Meanwhile, a genuine super-first master like ’Thunder God’ could replace him and become the new supreme commander in the eyes of the players.

It wasn’t until close to noon that Huang Yi finally logged on.

At this time, the five girls weren’t in the house; everything was tranquil, with only the warm sun quietly shining. The cicadas in the yard had commenced their song, heralding the imminent arrival of summer.

In the town outside the courtyard, the occasional calls of mothers summoning their children home for meals could be heard, filled with peace and serenity. It had been a very long time since Huang Yi had experienced such leisure. He could even lie down under the shade of the tree in the courtyard for a nap without worrying about anyone posing a threat to him.

But today, he needed to get moving.

He moved stealthily like a cat, quickly leaping on top of the courtyard’s wall, while basking in the sun and heading towards the Warrior Hall at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, he saw several children chasing each other playfully under a tree, their innocent faces beaming with pure smiles; not far away, an old man sat in front of his home, gazing at distant mountains with a serene expression spread across his wrinkled face; some players strolled slowly down the street, squinting and basking idly in the sun.

Everyone was walking slowly, everyone was at peace—it was a town devoid of strife and tension, filled only with tranquility and harmony.

Huang Yi was like the most ordinary cat in this town, jumping along the streets without anyone taking any notice of him.

As he walked, Huang Yi arrived at an uninhabited garden where bees buzzed and flowers filled the air with their fragrance. Just then, a female cat lying in the grass by the garden, basking in the sun, noticed Huang Yi’s arrival. She immediately raised her head, gazing at him with unblinking eyes, and issued a peculiarly enticing meow as if she were trying to seduce him.

Huang Yi could not help but smile wryly. Seeing that no one was around, he shimmered, transforming into his human form, and continued on with a steady stride out of the garden.

The sunbathing female cat was startled to see Huang Yi, the handsome cat, suddenly turn into a foolish human and scampered away with a strange yowl.

Before long, Huang Yi arrived at the town’s Warrior Hall. Having ascended to a divine class, each of his skills could receive a corresponding upgrade, but he needed to re-challenge the related warriors to do so.

He teleported to the Pantheon’s Mystic Realms with practiced ease. After a few attempts, he easily defeated the corresponding warriors, absorbing their warrior essence and enhancing the effects of his skills at levels 5, 15, and 25.

The level 5 skill, Rage Absorption, increased the amount of rage he generated when he received damage. Previously, he mainly generated rage through attacks, and the rage produced when taking damage was minimal. Now, this aspect had been greatly improved.

The level 15 skill, Disarm, now included a new secondary effect—Demoralization. After disarming the enemy’s weapon, it could cause the enemy’s magic value, rage value, and other energy resources used to activate skills to drain 1% per second for 10 seconds.

The level 25 skill, Judgment, gained a brand-new effect as well; any enemy hit by this skill would have their movement speed reduced by 20% until they left the skill radius.

This was equivalent to the effect of three runes!

The number of runes a player could fuse was limited, and not every skill could be fused with a rune. Huang Yi had already used up all his rune slots, so even if he obtained new rune stones, he couldn’t fuse them into his skills.

Ascending to a divine class enabled all his previous skills to be upgraded once more, which was almost like having the effects of more than a dozen extra runes compared to others.

After enhancing the three skills, he went to the Tower of Pantheons and teleported to the 10th floor!

Being level 25, he was just the right level to break the world record on the 10th floor!

This was one of the great advantages of reincarnation; he could break all the previous world records all over again!

His current equipment was the most top-notch in the world, with all items legendary and epic tier except for three orange quality jewelry pieces. With such gear, breaking records previously set by others in orange gear was effortless!

Through reincarnation, he could refresh all the world records in the Tower of God, establishing himself as the ultimate record terminator. No one would be able to break his records in the future.

Indeed, in short, he broke the world record of the 10th floor in just about 20 minutes. Each boss was instakilled with a single move, and most of the time was spent on getting from one place to the next.

He had already broken these records before, and now that he was breaking them again, there were no rewards, just a slight boost to his reputation. This could also be considered adding some weight to his presence at the next annual grand ceremony.

...

Days went by, and The Second World was changing day by day. Every player was striving to push forward, and Huang Yi’s strength was also being restored day by day.

This day, as soon as Huang Yi logged on, he eagerly checked his level.

He had finally returned to level 40! Forty days had passed since his Reincarnation!

This was an important moment; he had evolved into the White Dragon King at level 40, and his Incarnation was the ability of the Bai Long Clan! In other words, he could now summon his Incarnation!

Besides, he had undergone several deep evolutions related to the Dragon Clan, and the abilities gained from these evolutions could now be activated along with the appearance of his Dragon form, and the identity of Big Baddie could now be used as well.

He immediately jumped from the courtyard to the alley outside, and seeing that there was no one around, he quietly summoned his Incarnation!

Re-feeling the presence of his Incarnation, Huang Yi instantly regained that familiar sensation. His lost strength was slowly returning.

He maneuvered his Incarnation out of the alley.

It was daytime, and there were few people online, so the town was quite empty. Huang Yi quickly made his way to the eastern part of the town.

This area was a dilapidated old housing district, overgrown with weeds and spreading moss. This place was so deserted that not even NPCs would come here.

However, at this moment, amidst the weeds, there was a man wearing a Mage Robe pacing back and forth.

The player was around twenty years old with an extraordinary temperament, his Magic Robe glittered brilliantly, and the Magic Crystal atop his Magic Wand was even more dazzling under the sunlight, radiating legendary allure.

The players in this small town were all ordinary, none of them possessed such fine equipment!

This person exuded the aura of a super-skilled master just by his temperament, visibly out of place in this ordinary town, like a dragon in a ditch.

At that moment, the Mage player saw Huang Yi’s Incarnation and immediately became respectful, saying, "Brother Yi, you have finally arrived!"

Huang Yi’s Incarnation nodded and walked over, "Ying Lin, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

It turns out this Mage player was none other than a brother from Rose Prison—Ying Lin!

He was the best performing criminal from Rose Prison over the past year, even being nominated for the Best Newcomer Award recently, although he ultimately lost to T.N.T.

Ying Lin was currently the leader of the Singapore players, and his Guild, Demons in the World, was also the largest guild in Singapore. Fortunately, there were no players nearby, or else someone would definitely recognize him.

"The Deep Sea Battleship is all ready. I’ll Teleport you straight to the port city!" While saying this, Ying Lin waved his Magic Wand, casting a Teleportation Spell on the ground.

Huang Yi had specifically told Ying Lin to come and teleport him after breakfast this morning. Now that he could summon his Incarnation, it was time to board the Deep Sea Battleship and return to Hero’s Continent. His true body planned to remain on the Singapore continent, moving towards the Central Continent once he reached the Holy Domain Rank.

With his two bodies on two different continents, taking care of their respective tasks, he could operate with great efficiency.

Shortly after, Ying Lin conjured a complete Teleportation Circle. Huang Yi promptly stepped onto it and was instantly transported from this ordinary small town to a distant port city.

"Brother Yi, that Deep Sea Battleship is prepared for you." Ying Lin also teleported over and immediately pointed out a Deep Sea Battleship docked at a corner of the harbor to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi nodded, patted Ying Lin’s shoulder, and smiled, "Keep up the good work. The Singapore continent isn’t far from Hero’s Continent. I’m afraid we might need your cooperation with the national wars when the time comes." Saying this, Huang Yi took out a business card and handed it to Ying Lin, continuing, "My true body is still on the Singapore continent, you can contact me directly if you need anything."

"Got it! Brother Yi!" Ying Lin accepted Huang Yi’s business card with both hands, also giving Huang Yi his own business card in return.

Next, Huang Yi boarded the Deep Sea Battleship, disappearing from Ying Lin’s sight.

"Woo~" The Deep Sea Battleship sounded a deep horn, slowly started moving, and left the port, speeding toward Hero’s Continent.

This man, a figure facing the brunt of the storm, returning to Hero’s Continent, seemed to carry the air of a dragon returning to the sea, and it was uncertain what changes he would bring to that tension-filled continent.
