CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 8 FATHER AND MOTHER

Even Yujing City doesn’t have such a treasure, can you imagine such a seemingly ordinary Hunting Soldier Guard City actually has such good stuff?

Yun Sheng mused to herself, and after entering Daoye Mountain, she also discovered the extraordinary nature of this place.

The exterior looked like an arena, but the massive Guard City inside was actually another world.

The areas here are divided into public areas, market areas, and competition areas.

The competition area is naturally for competitions, requiring an additional purchase of tickets for entry, the market is open all day, offering miscellaneous northern and southern goods and various magic materials including Magic Beast Bones, soul stones, and other assorted goods.

In the public area, various relaxation and entertainment venues are gathered, from restaurants and tea houses to gambling houses, without anything missing.

When Yun Sheng passed by the market area, she felt slightly moved and unconsciously commented: "That being said, this Hunting Soldier Guard City is indeed an incredible place."

"What’s this, the Hunting Soldier Guard City of Great Zhou, its development can only be said to be quite average. This is also because in recent years, Great Zhou has never seen a Martial Saint level powerhouse like Martial Saint General again, not even a genius Mage like Yun Canghai, the eldest son of the Yun Family. Great Zhou could not find even one," perhaps recalling the Hunting Soldier Guard City stirred some memories, and Feng Kuo involuntarily brought up the past.

Upon suddenly hearing her father’s name, Yun Sheng was stunned.

"Speaking of which, Sheng girl, your surname is also Yun, and your magic talent is very impressive. Could it be that you have some connection to the Yun Family?" Feng Kuo wondered, tilting his large head and looking at Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng, in Huangteng, used the identity of the Summoner Yan Yun. However, her real name was also known to the three members of the Hunter Soldier Team.

The length of time Yun Sheng had known these three people was not long, and her background was briefly investigated by Wenren Xu, who only knew that she was a village orphan who went to the Royal Magic Academy as a public student after coming to Yujing and stayed with Doctor Fan of the Huichun Hall.

"Boss Feng, if I were from the General Mansion, would I have fallen to the extent of entering the Royal Magic Academy as a public student?" Yun Sheng mocked herself, not valuing the status of being from the General Mansion.

Hearing Yun Sheng say this, Feng Kuo and the others also felt it made sense.

To say nothing of others, the descendants of the General Mansion, how could they be as down-to-earth as Yun Sheng. Tang Yu, the grandson of Old General Yun, is a living example—a typical wastrel who is good-for-nothing.

"Boss Feng, the genius Mage you just mentioned, did he also come to Daoye Mountain? Did he also participate in the competitions here?" Feng Kuo had mentioned his father, and Yun Sheng was indeed very interested.

Father Yun Canghai was a very low-key person; in his early years, he concealed his identity, and after leaving Banana Leaf Village, he rarely mentioned his past exploits to Yun Sheng.

The memories of Yun Canghai’s past were primarily told to her by Master Mei Li.

But those were not complete, Yun Sheng thought, by understanding more about her father’s past, maybe she could find the real reason behind her father’s poisoning, thereby locating the poisoner, and ultimately finding the antidote.

"Yun Canghai is the most legendary Mage in the history of Great Zhou. Although the public opinion about him varies, I was fortunate enough to have met him in the early years, and he truly is an incredible figure." After a day’s journey, Feng Kuo found a restaurant in the public area, and everyone ate and drank there while also recovering some energy.

During the meal, Feng Kuo delightedly told Yun Sheng about Yun Canghai’s activities.

Indeed, Yun Canghai had participated in the arena. In fact, the real powerhouses on the continent are regular visitors to various arenas.

Here, they not only find opponents who match their strengths but also achieve breakthroughs by observing others’ matches.

The most famous competition Yun Canghai participated in took place in a Hunting Soldier Guard City called "Sky Wing City."

That is also the only Hunting Soldier Guard City on the entire continent that only allows warriors of Sky Level and above to enter.

Because "Sky Wing City" itself is located ten thousand meters above the ground, only powerful individuals with flying abilities and summoners with Flying Summoning Beasts can reach there.

Shortly after Yun Canghai broke through as a Sky Mage, he swept through all competitors at the same level in the "Sky Wings" Arena, securing a proud record of ninety-nine consecutive wins.

"Ninety-nine consecutive wins," Wenren Xu almost swallowed his chopsticks upon hearing this record.

The name of "Sky Wings" Hunting Soldier Guard City is known to every Hunter Soldier on the continent, but less than one in a hundred thousand strong individuals are qualified to enter "Sky Wings".

Only those who have entered "Sky Wings" know how difficult it is to achieve a victory there.

Because in "Sky Wings", you have to fight not only with people but also with beasts.

There, a ticket for a competition costs tens of thousands of Imperial Purple Gold Coins.

The arena there will capture a group of Demon Beasts with strength almost at the Commander level and incarcerate them for a month. Only when they are most famished are they brought out to compete in the same arena as the competitors.

The terrifying power of Lord Level or even Domain Level Demon Beast Kings is imaginable.

In such circumstances, Yun Canghai was still able to maintain such a flawless winning streak, which made the usually calm Yun Sheng feel her blood surge with excitement.

This was her father, Yun Canghai, spirited and in the prime of his life.

"Did Yun Canghai eventually achieve a hundred consecutive wins?" Even Mu Nanyan paused to listen to Feng Kuo announce the final result.

In the arena, achieving a hundred consecutive wins earns one a Soldier King Recruitment Order, recognized by the Hunter Soldier Alliance.

One Soldier King Recruitment Order means the holder can get one-time unconditional and unlimited help from the Hunter Soldier Alliance.

Only Hunter Soldiers understand the importance of this Soldier King Recruitment Order; it’s small enough to save a life, large enough to conquer a country.

"Regrettably, in the hundredth match, Yun Canghai encountered a Female Summoner participating in her first competition. In just 15 minutes, Yun Canghai was defeated," Feng Kuo said slowly. He had not witnessed that particular match but the result was widely known across all Hunting Soldier Guard Cities.

"Defeated by a Female Summoner? Could the opponent be an expert from the Summoning Court?" Wenren Xu asked, not forgetting to gossip about the appearance of that Female Summoner.

"No, she was a background-less Free Summoner. No one knows what she looks like or her age. It’s said that she wore a veil over her face during the competition," Feng Kuo knew only so much.

Afterwards, Yun Canghai left the "Sky Wings" Arena, but the record of ninety-nine consecutive wins he maintained has never been broken since then.

Strangely enough, the Female Summoner who defeated Yun Canghai also disappeared after that competition and was never seen again.

While Wenren Xu and Mu Nanyan were sighing incessantly, Yun Sheng’s heart felt a soft touch.

She had already guessed the identity of that Female Summoner.

Under the heavens, the only person who could make the proud Yun Canghai bow was his wife, Hu Jiusheng.

Sky Wings Arena, huh? If there’s a chance, she will certainly step onto that lofty arena of the strong in the future, aiming to rewrite the winning record left by her father and mother.
