Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 149: The Powerful Man

Wei Huo finally understood how to use System Number Two. System Number Two was known for knowing everything about the game. It knew where the skills and treasures were.

System Number Two continued speaking. “In addition to the Dragon-Soaring Continent, there’s also the King’s Sword in the Mage’s Tomb in the Magical Continent, the Space-Time Magic in Merlin’s Tomb under the gigantic stone array, as well as various superpowers in the ruined places of the mutant kings in the Technology Continent and the Mutant Continent. They sank into the investigation spacecraft of the Sanctuary Realm in the 100-Demon Triangle. Finally, there’s also the ancient technology and sleeping creatures of the Lost Empire in the Natural Continent and the Beast Continent. Last but not least, there’s the Sky Ascension Peak of the continent, where countless divine artifacts are hidden.”

As he listened to System Number Two’s description, the landscape of the five continents on Earth appeared in Wei Huo’s mind. There were still countless good things waiting for him to obtain them in those five continents. Besides, given his current strength, although the world was huge, where could he not go?

However, System Number Two’s next sentence dampened his spirits. “Unfortunately, you can’t enter these places before reaching level 150. You can’t enter the Heaven Ascension Peak before level 300.”

Wei Huo looked at his level. His level was already at level 39. His next quest was to trade with five camps over a long period of time. If he completed it, his level would be +1, 3/5.

Wei Huo thought about it and decided to level up while cultivating.

He would first cultivate the Luring Skill and the Luck Suppression Skill.

He took the Gene Modification Medicine and observed the changes in his body before getting stronger.

Lastly, he needed to solidify his Domain-level realm and develop more Domain skills.

At the same time, he continued advancing and completing the quest.

Wei Huo decided to cultivate while walking. There was no need to complete the quest in a hurry. He wanted to stabilize his strength and complete the quest at the same time. There was no need to rush. His rank was still far ahead.

After he’d reached the Legendary stage and acquired a Domain, his soul had become a golden pearl. He now had at least a 6,000-year lifespan.

He could no longer increase his lifespan with his Qi Cultivation or anything else. The information on his lifespan tab had already changed. He’d only had a fixed lifespan previously, but now it had changed to ‘Body Lifespan’ and ‘Soul Lifespan’. His Body Lifespan was unlimited, but his Soul Lifespan was only 6,000. It was stated that Refining Essence Into Qi could not increase the Soul Lifespan. Only Refining Qi Into God could increase the Soul Lifespan.

According to System Number Two, the Dao Scripture hidden in the Kunlun Mountain recorded Refining Qi Into God cultivation techniques. If Wei Huo wanted to increase his Soul Lifespan, he could only search for Refining Qi Into God cultivation techniques. He still had a long lifespan left, so there was no need to look for ordinary Refining Qi Into God cultivation techniques. He could only focus on the strongest Refining Qi Into God technique— the Dao Scripture.

Wei Huo asked System Number Two, “Where is the nearest camp?”

System Number Two said, “There is a shelter hundreds of kilometers northwest of you. This shelter is a safe zone. There are 354 ordinary people and an artificial-intelligence being inside.”

A shelter and a safe zone?

Wei Huo rushed toward the northwest. Along the way, he encountered quite a few zombie beasts. They were all wandering around the area.

When Wei Huo walked out of the area, the sounds of insects and birds could be heard. After walking for a few hours, Wei Huo heard a group of people shouting.

“Stop!”

“Don’t run!”

“Split up!”

“Shoot!”

Wei Huo saw a deer in front of him. Behind the deer were four to five middle-aged men carrying ordinary bows, spears, and knives. However, they were all carrying backpacks.

They seemed to have seen Wei Huo as well. They shouted in unison, “Be careful!”

The deer was rushing toward Wei Huo.

When the deer saw Wei Huo, it leaped up and stamped its front paws in his direction.

Wei Huo only lifted one hand and grabbed the deer’s front leg. He then turned around and smashed the deer to the ground.

The ground vibrated, and the deer’s horns were broken.

At that moment, a loud noise came from a nearby forest. A three-meter-tall gray bear rushed out of the forest and pounced on Wei Huo. No, it pounced on the deer in Wei Huo’s hand.

It was planning to steal food from Wei Huo!

The middle-aged men immediately shouted, “Be careful, student! If you can’t do it, give up your food and run.”

Wei Huo glanced at the gray bear and threw the dying deer at it.

Then, everyone heard a crack. The deer’s leg was broken, and the bear was smashed into the ground.

The deer finally fainted, but the grey bear still wanted to act fierce. It opened its mouth and roared.

Wei Huo threw a punch.

Boom!

The ground vibrated, and the ground around the grey bear’s head caved in.

The few middle-aged men around were speechless.

At that moment, the middle-aged man leading the group took a few more looks at Wei Huo’s face. He thought about it carefully and said in shock, “Zhang Huo! Is that you? Zhang Huo, it’s you!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

No one can remember my name?

The man walked over and stopped when he saw Wei Huo’s confused gaze. He said, “It’s me! Teacher Zhang! Don’t you remember?”

Teacher Zhang?

Wei Huo was confused. He thought about it for a long time before taking out the essay book he had obtained on the snowy mountain. He saw the words ‘Teacher Zhang’ on the teacher’s tab.

It was you!

When Teacher Zhang saw the essay book, he could not help but feel emotional. “I didn’t expect you to keep that essay book. I didn’t expect you to be such a nostalgic person. I used to criticize your essays to make you understand the difference between essays and creation. After all, essay writers can’t write...”

“Alright, Teacher Zhang.” Another middle-aged man interrupted him. He was strong, but his hairline was a little high and his face was injured. He asked Wei Huo, “Student, are you a mutant?”

Wei Huo was a little surprised. Could mutations have started to appear in the shelter?

Humans were also creatures. Since other creatures were beginning to mutate, humans would naturally mutate as well.

Wei Huo echoed the middle-aged man’s words and said, “That’s right, I’m a mutant and a traveling merchant.”

Teacher Zhang was shocked. He asked in disbelief, “Zhang Huo, could you have come to this world earlier than us?”

They were all shocked. One of them said, “I didn’t expect Brother Liu to be telling the truth. A few years ago, over 10,000 famous people descended on this world. After going through various life-and-death tests in the early stage, the surviving experts formed a marginalized alliance. In order to allow the newcomers to survive, the marginalized alliance sent thousands of experts to help us and lead us!”

Wei Huo thought about it. Was the so-called marginalized alliance referring to artificial beings? It seemed like there should be an artificial being in the safe zone that was responsible for guiding humans to help them survive.

Teacher Zhang and the others immediately felt respect for Wei Huo. They had learned some secrets that normal people did not know by listening to Brother Liu. A few years ago, the people who had descended on this world had experienced an extremely horrifying calamity. Those who had survived were all powerful people with strong bodies and hearts!
