Chapter 1600

Thinking back to the things he saw earlier, Zi Chen felt that he was too poor.

If he didn't have three weapons, he might not even have a weapon that he could use.

As for the more expensive armor, Zi Chen didn't even dare to think about it.

"My injuries have healed, so I have to leave quickly."

Without Spirit Crystals, it was impossible to even survive here, let alone increase one's strength, unless one became a guard or chose to stay in Yellow Sky City to do odd jobs. However, the prerequisite was that one had to be at least Tier 4.

If one wasn't at Tier 4 and didn't have any Spirit Crystals, they could only wait for death.

Three days later, Zi Chen gritted his teeth and used half a Spirit Crystal. His injuries were completely healed, and his body was filled with energy.

Next, Zi Chen considered where he should go to earn Spirit Crystals.

The Secluded Forest and the edge of the Desert of Death were good places, but they were too far away. With only 61 Spirit Crystals on him, Zi Chen wouldn't consider it for now.

If they were close, they could go to the Dax Plains. There were Dax Beasts there, and if they were lucky, they could even find Dax Beastmen. Dax Beasts weren't considered alien races, but Dax Beastmen were a true alien race, the Dax Beastmen.

And in the Battlefield of Despair, Yellow Sky City would give extra rewards for killing foreign races.

Carrying the spear and Dragonthorn, Zi Chen walked out of his room with a bag in his hand and walked towards Old Man Schenker's store.

"Give me some jerky and some water."

Arriving at the store, Zi Chen tossed the remaining half of a Spirit Crystal to Old Man Schenker, who was calculating on his abacus, and said, "Give me this."

Old Man Schenker caught the Spirit Crystal that had lost half of its energy. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and said, "You can still exchange for 95 drops of Spirit Liquid. You're going out."

"I'm going to the Dax Plains to see if I can get anything." Zi Chen opened the bag and took out an empty gourd, indicating that he should put the water inside.

The water the old man sold was different from the water Zi Chen usually used. This water also had the ability to recover energy, although the effect was minimal.

The old man took the gourd and said, "I thought you were going to hunt some beasts nearby. I didn't expect you to go there. If you're lucky enough, you might find a lone Dax Beastman. Of course … you might die."

Zi Chen said, "Thanks for the reminder. I know what I'm doing."

"Since you insist on going, you can register yourself on the List of Desolate Regions before you leave."

After wrapping up the water and meat jerky, Zi Chen left the Sundry Goods Store and headed for the Desolate Zones List.

In this Battlefield of Despair, there was a complete monitoring system. After gaining the recognition of the world's laws, everyone here could be monitored, and the same was true for the Outsiders.

Therefore, the humans had created the Absolute Zones List, while the Outsiders also had other similar lists.

Every time a human or foreign race was killed, the system would monitor it and add a contribution to the list.

On the human side, the List of Absolute Zones was divided into three levels: the Seven Level Soldier, the Eight Level Generals, and the Nine Level King List.

Zi Chen was currently heading to the seventh layer of the Weapon Rankings.

Outside the Absolute Zones List, there was a towering stone tablet. The stone tablet seemed to be made of a complete piece of black stone, and there were some names that were emitting golden light engraved on it.

These names were arranged from top to bottom, and behind the names was a row of dazzling golden numbers.

When Zi Chen saw the first name, he was slightly stunned, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

The first name on the list was Long Fei, and behind him were the golden numbers that represented contribution points.

This was a very smooth sequence of numbers, so smooth that it didn't seem to be a coincidence at all, as if it was deliberately arranged.

The second name on the list was also a familiar name, Wang Family's Wang Yuan Shan, the current Deputy Domain Lord, with a contribution point of 65870.

Looking at the rankings, Long Fei had been suppressing Wang Yuan Shan. This was also the reason why Long Fei didn't fear Wang Yuan Shan and even dared to call him by his name.

The third name was Lin Sicheng, with a contribution of 4,185.

The fourth name …

The numbers continued until the hundredth name, and the last name was Xu Hou, with a contribution point of 2,056.

Glancing at the Absolute Zones List, Zi Chen walked forward. There was a building that was second only to the Absolute Zones List, and there were many workers bustling about inside.

Zi Chen explained the reason for his visit, and the other party looked at Zi Chen in astonishment.

Now was not the time for the Absolute Zones to be opened, and once it was, a large number of people would rush in.

Now that the other party had come alone, it could only mean one thing, and that was that they had the Battle Martial Token that ignored the rules.

"Come here to register."

Almost every cultivator who had the qualifications to hold the Battle Martial Token was a top-notch genius in a prefecture, so the staff's tone was clearly more polite.

In fact, the registration was very simple. All he had to do was record his name and pour in a bit of soul power.

There was no extra token, but all of Zi Chen's achievements in the Absolute Zones would naturally be recorded here.

"In the future, every time you kill a foreign race, your contribution points will increase by one point, and each point can be exchanged for ten spirit crystals here," the staff said formally.

"One point can be exchanged for ten spirit crystals."

When Zi Chen heard this, he was clearly shocked. If that was the case, then wouldn't Long Fei receive 675,555 spirit crystals?

"That's right, the exchange rate is one to ten, but you have to accumulate at least ten points before you can exchange."

Zi Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

After that, the staff told Zi Chen some small details to pay attention to on the battlefield.

"What's with the list outside, there should be people on it who aren't at the 2th level anymore."

Zi Chen asked curiously. He had seen Long Fei with his own eyes, and he was already close to the realm of the Sector Lord, so how could he still be on the 2th level list?

The staff smiled, "That's the ranking for the past ten thousand years. Besides Xu Hou pushing the original 655th out of the rankings a thousand years ago, there hasn't been any changes to the rankings."

Zi Chen nodded. No wonder no one was looking at the list, the rankings had been unchanged for a thousand years.

Those who could be on the list were the strongest existences in the past ten thousand years, to the point that those who came after couldn't even reach their results. Especially Long Fei, that person filled with an overflowing demonic aura had actually been at the top of the list for ten thousand years.

And that comical number was no doubt looking down on those who came after him.

"Go fight, I hope you can change this list that hasn't changed in a thousand years."

This was the staff's encouragement to every newcomer. Zi Chen only nodded, and carried his bag out of the city.

After leaving the city, Zi Chen walked towards the Dax Plains.

However, just as he was a thousand meters away from the city, three people walked out and followed Zi Chen.

"This little guy is going to be unlucky."

"Being targeted by that scum Ai Xi, he's definitely in trouble."

Seeing this scene, the guards curled their lips, their eyes filled with disdain.

The other races were very strong, and not everyone had the ability to kill them. Those who felt that they weren't a match for the other races would think of ways to group up and target newcomers or lonely people.

For example, this Ai Xi, in the eyes of the 4th level guards, was scum, but this scum had already killed many humans with potential.

Other than a thousand meters away from the city, the city didn't protect humans, so these guards could only express their dissatisfaction, but couldn't interfere.

The three people behind him were very brazen, as if they felt that they could take down Zi Chen for sure.

Of the three, only one was at the mid-2th level, while the other two were at the early-stage. If this were outside the Battlefield of Despair, Zi Chen would be able to kill all three of them in an instant.

However, in the Battlefield of Despair, Zi Chen actually felt a trace of threat from the three people.

The three people seemed to be walking casually, but in reality, their steps were light, forming a perfect combination. If one of them was attacked, the other two would be able to help in an instant.

As expected, one couldn't underestimate anyone in the Battlefield of Despair.

However, Zi Chen wasn't afraid. He had killed a 4th level Domain Realm cultivator before, and his strength was obtained through countless battles. Although many of his methods were suppressed here, he believed that the others wouldn't be much better off than him.

After placing his bag in a relatively far place, Zi Chen held his spear and stared at the three people in front of him, muttering, "Don't let me down."

The three people who didn't hide their intentions were slightly startled when they saw this scene. Their expressions darkened, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Originally, when the humans discovered that the three of them were tailing them, which one of them didn't immediately choose to run away, and Ai Xi had plenty of methods to track them down. However, this young man didn't run away, causing Ai Xi to feel slightly nervous.

Ai Xi had been in the crowd when Zi Chen returned with the Dax Black Wolf, and the wounds on Zi Chen's body had left a deep impression on him.

Just a single Dax Black Wolf was worth several Spirit Crystals. One had to know that in this world, a single Spirit Crystal was enough to start a battle. In addition, they also had their eyes on the weapon in Zi Chen's hand.

The three people looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Just like how Zi Chen wouldn't underestimate anyone, even if the three of them joined forces, they still wouldn't underestimate this newcomer.

The three people stopped ten meters away from Zi Chen. Both sides didn't exchange a single word, and the three people attacked.

A blade, a sword, and a short dagger attacked Zi Chen. The three people's coordination was flawless.

A light flashed under Zi Chen's feet. Facing such a perfect attack, he chose to retreat.

The three attacks missed, and the three people rushed forward again. Their attacks were uniform, and there were no gaps or openings.

Zi Chen gripped his spear and retreated again and again.

The three people continued to pursue, and streaks of cold light flashed through the air, whistling through the air.

"You only know how to dodge." Ai Xi shouted, and his attacks became even fiercer.

The other two people's figures flashed slightly, and an inconspicuous opening appeared in their perfect attack.

Zi Chen's spear shook and shot out through this opening.

"Die."

Ai Xi shouted angrily, and jumped high into the air. He raised the blade in his hand and slashed towards Zi Chen's head.

The other two people's weapons crossed, and they completely covered the opening.

So they were deliberately baiting him.

Zi Chen's expression didn't change. The tip of his spear touched the crossed weapons, and a huge force burst forth.

The Collapse Formula was activated, and a flood of power surged out. The two people holding their weapons were both forced back.

After forcing the two people back, Ai Xi was already above Zi Chen's head, and his blade was about to land on Zi Chen's body.
