Chapter 101: The War on the Undead(4)

"Ye, this is...?" Tang Wulin asked, stunned at the abundant life energy around him.

Almost all around him was entirely plants, trees and a small body of water by the side. Large abundance of life energy and water elemental energy filled the air.

Just standing in the middle of it and without actively cultivating, Tang Wulin felt like he could breakthrough to rank 18 despite being breaking through to rank 17 just a few days ago!

"What is this place...?" Tang Wulin muttered.

"This is the cultivation room, customized by me to help you in your cultivation and combat abilities." Xiu Ye stepped up from behind Tang Wulin and turned to face him with a smile. "You've seen the other rooms yes? This is a very special pocket space available only for members in Tang Sect's Battle Hall with a time dilution in it. With this, you can cultivate much faster and develop more combat skills while little time passes in the outside world."

"How are we able to enter this pocket space anyway? We aren't Battle Hall members." Tang Wulin asked with a nervous expression.

Xiu Ye chuckled. "Oh relax, I already got the permission to use this pocket space for us and our friends to use from the branchmaster. Since most of the Battle Hall members in this branch have all been deployed in the battlefield."

"Wulin, you and the rest know what is mostly going on in the surface. The situation is getting in an unbelievable accelerated rate, probably because of the second type of undead and that those with Soul Douluo and above cultivation are powerless. Thankfully the city's forces can still fight back against them but who knows what might happen."

"Which is why the branchmaster is deploying everyone capable of fighting to participate in this battle with the undead and evil soul masters. I know you and the rest wouldn't refuse the chance to kill those bastards, so I decided to train you all to be more capable of killing those bastards."

"Hm, I understand. Thank you, bro. So we're here because you want to train me and our friends. Well then, where are they?" Tang Wulin said as he looked around the cultivation room around him in wonder.

Xiu Ye's face turned solemn. "I'll individually be training you guys one by one. You got to go first because it'll be easy to teach you, since your foundation is very stable and there are only three things: tempering your body, teach you spear techniques and increase your combat experience, which I'll teach it all to you within half a year."

"Hmm–wait," Tang Wulin snapped his eyes wide and turned to look at Xiu Ye, like he was looking at a crazy person. "Wait, what?! Half a year?! Bro, stop with the jokes. How could you train me in an entire half a year here? By the time we're finished with my training, I'm afraid the entire Skysea City would already be bombed by the Federation!"

Xiu Ye shook his head. "This pocket space has a time dilution formations inscribed all over its entire exterior. Normally the time dilution would have been twelve hours inside here would only be an hour outside in the real world. But that's only because of the distinct characteristics of this place, as one would be changed by the different laws of space and time."

"Should a person remain in this pocket space for too long, there would be severe consequences. If one's life signs went through a significant transformation, there won't be a way to reverse the process any longer and should your life signs were to clash with that of the world outside with, you'll age twelve times faster upon leaving. From Tang Sect's Science Division's calculations, one can only enter this space for twelve hours at most before being able to enter again a week later. This way, your life signs will still remain synced with our world and you'll be unaffected by the different spaces."

The corners of Xiu Ye's lips tugged up into a wide smile. "However, with the help of branchmaster and other seniors of the branch of science division here, we were able to find a solution so we can remain here for as long as six months with only half an hour having passed in the outside world; without receiving any side effects when we go out."

"And that is...?" Tang Wulin questioned as Xiu Ye touched his storage ring and a familiar looking bead-size object appeared in his hand.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise and pointed with his finger on the thing in his cousin's hand. "Is that a white-colored Life Force Seed?" His eyes then widened as realization hit him. "Are we going to use it so we won't get affected by the outside world time side effects?"

Xiu Ye nodded his head. "Precisely. This white-colored Life Force Seed can be used as a medium with the pocket space's law, so our physical age can remain in stasis. We only need to temporarily connect our own life force with this and we can trick the space-time law of this pocket space."

Tang Wulin smiled. "So, when do we start?" He widened his eyes as he saw a tip of a sword inches away from piercing his eye.

'Fast!' He broke out in cold sweat.

Xiu Ye smirked evilly with a strange glint flashing through his eyes. "Now."

Tang Wulin swallowed before his eyes narrowed down into razor sharp focus, his pupils momentarily turned into golden slits.

"Teach me."

.....

Hours passed but in truth, four years had passed for Xiu Ye as he trained his friends and himself as best as he could.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Mu Xi, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan, their cultivation and combat prowess had skyrocketed to the point of, if they went all out, capable of killing a Soul King!

During all that training as well, Xiu Ye had managed to cultivate himself to rank 41 Soul Ancestor and got his fourth soul ring! He had first thought that he would be able to cultivate to Soul King level but during his four year period in the pocket space, his tyrannical ultimate fire had evolved and transformed his soul power into a more dense and higher quality of energy, making any soul power related attacks more potent, powerful and dangerous, but it also caused his body to have trouble taking in more energy!

If one were to compare his previous soul power as normal water then his current soul power was like of celestial divine water!

Tianguo's Life Force Seed had made his body extremely durable, resilient and could heal any damages done to his body in seconds. But it wouldn't help him survive from internal energy implosion. Thankfully Tianguo's Life Force Seed and sealed soul power is slowly expanding his dantian so he could still continue cultivating, however slow it is.

Although there were other things he got in the four years inside the pocket space, it would be a story for another time.

Xiu Ye and his friends stood in front of a huge, 7 meter tall, obsidian colored bulky double doors with complex soul circuits and large metallic locks placed in the middle that can only be opened by someone with the strength of a Hyper Douluo or via the electrical soul device key of Tang Sect.

It was time.

Xiu Ye and his friends' expressions were both solemn and determined. They knew, that the moment that they stepped out of those gates, their lives would be in constant danger from the undead and the evil soul masters.

But they had already accepted it! Half a year of hellish training had prepared them for the next that was about to come for them.

Each one had their own reasons for agreeing to go out. Even though they were ordered by the branchmaster to help in the fight against the undead, they still had the option to refuse him but their sense of justice and righteousness accepted his order.

"Brother Ye, this plan of yours... will it work?" Xie Xie asked with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Some of them rolled their eyes and Gu Yue smacked the back of his head. "Tsk, idiot! If you're having second thoughts about this then just stay here, sucking your thumb like a baby, while we're out there busting zombies brains and killing evil soul masters."

"Ow! Help! Brothers! Sisters! Gu Yue's bullying me again!"

"So what if I'm bullying you? And why aren't you calling me big sister, huh?! You think tougher now?!" Gu Yue raised a fist at a rapidly sweating Xie Xie.

"Hahahahaha!" The rest laughed at their act.

Xiu Ye smiled as he looked at his friends. He never really planned on taking them out into the battlefield against the undead and evil soul masters but they had been determined to take revenge against the monsters that almost killed them as well as taking the lives of many innocents.

Even Xu Xiaoyan, who was your normal ten year old girl: scared, inexperienced, timid and looked like she was about to broke from the hell she had experienced– had decided the face of a determined soldier, ready to march to war!

She wasn't only one, everyone else had some sort of drastic change to themselves.

Also, this tribulation might be an opportunity for them to grow much more stronger; as they are heaven's favorites.

Xiu Ye shook his head and clapped his hands. "Alright! Gu Yue, Xie Xie, enough. The gates are about to open, so get ready. Teacher Wu, some Battle Hall agents and other hidden experts of Tang Sect are waiting for us at Skysea Plaza: an area completely overrun of the undead. As you all guess, we're going there to exterminate all of them. That's where all going to start, after that? Liberate the other districts, until we liberate the entire city! Now, any questions? None? Alright, let's go!"

"Ohh!" Everyone nodded and face towards the huge double metal gate, which started to open.

Xiu Ye set his eyes as sharp as the legendary swords in his inner world. The weapons qi in his body boiled and was ready to be used. His fingers slightly twitched, the scent of fire and steel covered his body.

'Na Nali, you wanted a war? You won't be getting one. Instead, it'll be a massacre!'
