Within Stick Nations Heaven Pavilion

The middle-aged man held onto his phone and aimed the camera at Sung-Yoon Lee. Here, Ill record it for you.

I, Sung-Yoon Lee, a sinful and shameless b*stard, hereby offer my apologies to Elixir Pavilion! Im sorry!

Just as he finished his statement, he disappeared without a trace. He flew all the way into the ocean, then flailed his arms wildly, causing endless waves in his wake.

Ye Lingchen, I swear on my humanity to kill you! His voice taking on a higher pitch from the anger within him. All the spiritual energy within him was running wild, causing the surface of the sea to explode in fury.

At the same time, the apology video was uploaded. Although Sung-Yoon Lee tried his hardest to control his emotions, one could still see the rage burning through his eyes.

The Stick Nations citizens cheered.

[He apologized. He finally apologized!]

[We can finally feel relieved. Well have the elixirs soon.]

[So thats Sung-Yoon Lee. That fella is quite mysterious. Theres no information about him on the internet.]

[Just one look and you can tell that hes not a good person. I wonder what he did to incur the wrath of Elixir Pavilion.]

[Hahaha, whatever it is, Elixir Pavilion is opening its doors to us.]

At that exact same moment, Elixir Pavilion immediately published the video on the homepage of Miracle Islands app, showing it to everyone in the world. After that, they announced to lift the ban on the Stick Nation.

[We must remember this person and stay away from him in the future.]

[Thats right. He was even called out by Elixir Pavilion. Surely hes not a good person!]

[Thats so scary. I heard that hes an evil person, the scumbag of society.]

[How can a person like this be left alive? Lock him up quickly. Hes a menace!]

[Damn, what a spineless person. I was expecting him to reject the offer and ban the Stick Nation forever.]

[Hahaha, this is the first time I saw someone badmouth himself.]

The general populace was mostly there for the drama. As for the world of martial artists, that had stirred up a huge commotion. Although they had their speculations, they were still shocked greatly when they saw Sung-Yoon Lee make the public apology.

Sung-Yoon Lee, a King Stage martial artist, would be met with great respect wherever he went. Who would have thought to see him in such a state? It was unimaginable!

However, that video was clear for all to see, making its round in the world!

Scary!

That was courting death!

Even through the screen they could feel the rage and discontent from Sung-Yoon Lee.

Their hearts pounded wildly and silently mourned for Ye Lingchen. That kid was just too brazen. Based on Sung-Yoon Lees personality, he would never let Ye Lingchen get away with this.

Ten days later

Ye Lingchen visited the new district once again. This time, there were a lot more people compared to before. Inner Force Warriors would frequently appear. The reason he did not meet them the last time was because they were all called to the battlefield.

Everything happened at a fast pace in the Martial Arts Pavilion with everyone rushing around. They had a determined look on their face as they focused on raising their strength. Some would form teams and leave the place after making their application. After asking around, he found out that they were going out on missions to earn merit points.

Ye Lingchen even ran into Lin Ao. Ever since he arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion,. He quickly managed to cultivate his Inner Force and raised his strength at an incredible rate. Meanwhile, Lin Ruoyu was staying in a practice room within the Martial Arts Pavilion. Lin Tianxiongs injury impacted them greatly. At that moment, their goal was to enter the Void Realm to seek revenge for Lin Tianxiong. Moreover, they were also hoping to find some sort of spiritual herb that could cure Lin Tianxiong.

The meridians within Lin Tianxiongs left hand were completely destroyed and more than half his bones had been shattered. Healing him was impossible with the then state of technology, but they did not ask Ye Lingchen for help.

Nobody knew what was within the Void Realm, therefore they did not wish for Ye Lingchen to risk his life by venturing into the Void Realm for them. They only thought of entering it themselves in search of spiritual herbs.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen knew that the Void Realm naturally had spiritual herbs that could heal him. The Life Essence that he saw before was capable of doing so.

After bidding Lin Ao goodbye, Ye Lingchen came to the meeting point as told by the Warriors Department. Chen Qi was already waiting there for him.

Deputy Chen, hows the situation of the Hells Gate in the new district?

Its reverted to the peaceful state after the battle, Chen Qi answered with a smile.

Ye Lingchen asked in surprise, Arent you afraid that they might make a sudden counterattack?

Hahaha, Chen Qi shook his head while laughing. Although there are numerous experts within Hells Gate, they are not a mass production line. Upon invading Earth, their death rate is quite high as well. It would take them quite some time to gather experts. Moreover, once a large enough number gathers around the Hells Gate, it would produce violent tremors. It would not be too late for us to rush over at that time.

So theyre afraid of dying too. Ye Lingchen nodded given the revelation. He quietly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the creatures from the Void Realm were not just emotionless killing machines. With that, it would be a lot easier to handle.

Thinking back on it, it made sense to him. Since they were able to create weapons and had their own language, they should have pretty high intelligence. With intelligence came the fear of death.

Take Earth as an example. Even within the ranks of Warriors, those that were afraid of death were not the minority.

Does that mean that we could take this chance to take a peek inside? Ye Lingchens eyes glowed with anticipation.

If youre not afraid of dying, you can give it a try. Chen Qi laughed as he looked at Ye Lingchen. Weve had three hundred people entering Hells Gate by now, and only five managed to come out alive!

Five people? Which five?

Deputy Xiang, two other Innate Stage Warriors, another one that died in battle, and I.

Ye Lingchen looked at Chen Qi in astonishment. The Innate Stage was very difficult to reach. It was like a canyon for each martial artist to overcome. However, all the survivors managed to break through to the Innate Stage. Was that a coincidence?

Hehe, of course its not a coincidence. Chen Qi continued on. Since were entering Hells Gate, its only natural for us to explore further. Its very normal to come across some treasures. Ill have you know that back then, Ive achieved my current level after eating three Cinnabar Fruits.

Cinnabar Fruits? Three of them? Ye Lingchen gasped. The way he looked at Chen Qi changed immediately. Wastrel. What a f*cking wastrel!

From what he understood, the Cinnabar Fruit was something at the same level as Life Essence. It had the ability to temper spiritual energy. To put simply, a single Cinnabar Fruit had 60% chance of helping a peak-level Innate Force martial artist to break through to the Innate Stage.

What a waste of treasures! Ye Lingchen could not help retorting with a pained expression. Reaching only mid-level Innate Stage after consuming three Cinnabar Fruit. Chen Qis talent was really terrible. If Ye Lingchen consumed it, he would at least be at the peak-level Innate Stage.

Shut your trap kiddo! I found the Cinnabar Fruit by my own strength. If I did not eat them, Id be dead in there. Itd be less wasteful for me to eat them, Chen Qi reprimanded him with a smile on his face. He then added, Youre still young with a bright future ahead. You better not take this gamble. Normally, only those that have no other ways and lost all hope of breaking through or those fearless gamblers would enter the Void Realm. Its because you never know what awaits you on the other side. Moreover, there are experts beyond the Venerable Stage in there. Just a simple flick of their finger will kill you.
