Heroes' Prison

Chapter 871 - 824 Oss Kan Research Base

"Boom!" Finally, the last enemy on the battlefield fell unwillingly.

Enemy corpses were scattered all over the ground, with tattered "Wu" flags tilting in disarray, and not a single enemy left standing.

Under the pursuit of Yang Yuheng and the rest of the Hero Legion players, the vast majority of the enemy forces failed to escape the range of the anti-teleportation array, almost completely annihilated. Only a few, like Dante and Ganges, managed to get away.

Thus, this battle finally ended, and the Hero Legion almost achieved a complete victory. They not only exterminated most of the enemies but also accomplished two major feats. One was Yang Yuheng advancing to the Heavenly Domain level, and the other was Huang Yi killing one of the opposing leaders, T.N.T.

This was the first time the Hero Legion engaged in a direct battle with the enemy in a true sense, no longer relying solely on Huang Yi’s tricks to secure victory.

This direct confrontation allowed many players in the Hero Legion to level up, and experts like Dao Feng, Gentleman, Sunset, Nameless, and Qianye Fengwu even gained several levels directly.

On the battlefield, as long as the fighting was good, the leveling speed could be several times that of the Tower of Pantheons.

The leveling process in The Second World is a dynamic curve, not necessarily slower at higher levels, as it depends on the actions taken by players. The leveling speed varies based on these actions.

During the first two years of The Second World, players squandered too many experience points in order to upgrade their War Soul, greatly reducing leveling speed. But there was no choice, as Level Fifty was a huge watershed; NPCs became extremely powerful, and without upgrading the War Soul, it was difficult to pass the First Transformation Trial and fight those NPCs, making it hard to continue level grinding.

Later, as players’ equipment improved, Legendary Equipment began to circulate, and the overall leveling speed increased. Players’ War Souls gradually progressed to the later stages. Moreover, with items like Spirit Stones, which allowed instant success in the War Soul’s 9th Stage, becoming more common, players began to surpass this hurdle and continue leveling up rapidly.

With the launch of national wars by Huang Yi and Miyamoto Musashi on the Land of Dongying, this faster leveling method began to spread. In just a few days of national wars, Huang Yi gained over ten levels, and the post-war rewards brought an additional ten levels. Anyone with some strength, seeing this leveling speed, couldn’t help but join the national wars.

Now, national wars have been raging all over the world for several months. Experts above the average power level who kill more people level up quickly. Many players high on the leaderboard have joined the national wars worldwide, and the Chess Saint is just one of them.

Experts like the Pope, T.N.T, and Miyamoto Musashi, who are above everyone else, gain even more benefits. Their required experience for leveling is twice that of regular players; without national wars, they might only be around Level One Hundred and Forty or Fifty, but they’re now around Level One Hundred and Eighty, not far behind top players among ordinary players.

On the Void Battlefield, seeing the battle below nearly concluded, Huang Yi couldn’t help but message Zu Zaiyu and Sunset, instructing them to lead the army back.

Upon receiving Huang Yi’s message, Sunset loudly announced to the entire legion, "Brothers, you’ve worked hard! We’ve won a complete victory in this battle. Let’s go back and celebrate!"

He then led the Hero Legion into Night Rain City, directly surging towards the teleport plaza to leave. Nangong Yu, the Night Rain Eastward Guild’s leader, personally welcomed their entry into the city.

Gradually, the noisy battlefield quieted down, allowing everyone a chance to rest.

However, many players, as they left, looked up at the Void Battlefield in the sky. Although they won this battle, the fight in the Void Battlefield was not yet over, as Miyamoto Musashi, this super strong opponent, still remained.

In the Hero Legion, Yang Yuheng, Dao Feng, and a few other experts didn’t retreat, leaving only some players collecting the loot scattered by other players on the battlefield.

Many reporters also did not leave, still focused on the Void Battlefield with intense attention.

Everyone was curious about how Huang Yi planned to defeat Miyamoto Musashi, such an almost invincible adversary.

Even Miyamoto Musashi himself couldn’t comprehend it. His Demon King’s Descent sacrificed at most the Fourth Level, reaching four times the attributes. Huang Yi was just a mere Holy Domain incarnation in Reincarnation, who could be easily crushed—this was a battle without suspense.

At this moment, Huang Yi messaged Yang Yuheng, saying, "Yang Yuheng, you’ll have to deal with Miyamoto Musashi next. I can only hold him off temporarily; you must fully enhance your strength as quickly as possible, and I’ll help you with all my might."

"How should I enhance it?" Yang Yuheng quickly replied.

"How many Stone Exchanges do you have right now?" Huang Yi continued to ask.

"I have just over ten thousand now, and you want me to advance to the Rare Class, right? I’ve already planned for this and specifically collected a lot of Stone Exchanges in the Tower of Pantheons, just waiting to switch to a Rare Class after the Heavenly Domain level," Yang Yuheng quickly guessed Huang Yi’s intentions.

After the tournament, a Reward Vault appeared in The Second World, where players could use exchange stones from the tournament and the Tower of Pantheons to redeem rare items.

Among all the rewards, the most precious item is the Class Upgrade Scroll, which allows a class to advance. A Common Class can advance to an Advanced Class; an Advanced Class can advance to a Rare Class. Rare Class effects are unknown. It requires five thousand exchange stones.

The biggest problem for Yang Yuheng right now is that he’s just a regular player with a Common Class, a huge limitation, his greatest disadvantage as an expert.

There are only a few thousand Rare Class holders worldwide, and all super-first-class experts are Rare Class holders. Without advancing to a Rare Class, Yang Yuheng simply cannot compete against experts like Miyamoto Musashi.

The fastest and most significant way for Yang Yuheng to enhance his strength is to redeem two Class Upgrade Scrolls, advancing from a Common Class to an Advanced Class, then to a Rare Class.

In the tournament, Yang Yuheng was the only ordinary player to reach the top sixty-four in the individual matches and had quite a lot of exchange stones. Additionally, he was one of the few worldwide who could level up faster in the Tower of Pantheons than through national wars. While others often chose to level up in national wars, he could still level up in the Tower of Pantheons, resulting in a wealth of exchange stones.

"That’s great, quickly redeem two Class Upgrade Scrolls to advance to the Rare Class level. Also, I got some good stuff for you in the Central Continent." Huang Yi’s thoughts aligned with Yang Yuheng, also wanting him to reach the Rare Class level.

"Okay! I’ll go enhance myself now." Yang Yuheng immediately left the battlefield and returned to Night Rain City.

...

Meanwhile, in the Central Continent.

Huang Yi was speeding through the Oskan Royal Academy, heading towards a teleportation circle on a mountain.

Soon, he arrived at the teleportation circle and teleported to the foot of a mountain.

This mountain was vast, extremely expansive, and upon looking up from the base, it was filled with buildings, dense and magnificent, stretching beyond sight.

These buildings were different from those on other peaks, as many had high chimneys, furnaces, reactors, transmission pipelines, and various research facilities.

There was only one path up the mountain from the base, and at the entrance of this path stood two rows of guards, neatly arranged. They were imposing, with their eyes flashing a subtle spark as they opened and closed, looking highly vigilant.

At this moment, some students also arrived here but were blocked outside, prohibited from ascending, angrily arguing with the guards.

One student even held a green school badge, shouting, "I’m a green badge student at the Oskan Royal Academy, and you dare to block me? If my mentor finds out, you’ll all be punished!"

The captain of the guards sternly scolded the students, "This is the Oskan Royal Academy’s research base. Outsiders are strictly prohibited. Not even your mentors have the right to enter."

At this point, Huang Yi had reached the guards, and with a flick of his hand, he produced his school badge to show the captain.

The captain was about to shoo away Huang Yi but, upon seeing the purple school badge, immediately bowed respectfully and made an inviting gesture, saying, "Ah, a Purple Badge Student, please go ahead!"

The other guards then stepped back, clearing a path for Huang Yi.

Huang Yi put away his school badge and immediately strode inside.

Behind him, the students holding green badges were stunned, watching him ascend the mountain in speechless amazement, before starting to discuss among themselves after a while.

"Did I see that right? He’s a Purple Badge Student!"

"There are only a few Purple Badge Students, and I haven’t seen this person before. Is he a newcomer?"

"But how could a newcomer get a Purple Badge as soon as they joined? Purple Badges are only awarded to those who have made great contributions or achieved outstanding results. It was said that Classmate Long from Krabi Class Three was only given a Purple Badge after graduating from Formation Class..."
