Chapter 670: The Seven Great Warriors

It would have previously been impossible for Mo Wen to be so powerfully without using spiritual weapons and other magical treasures. However, after practicing all his martial arts teachings to the highest levels, his combat power had already grown by an alarming amount. He was now easily able to kill monstrous beasts of the same realm as him just through physical fighting.
The powerful later stage seventh rank monstrous beasts that Mo Wen was now facing were mere pushovers.
As time passed, more and more monstrous beasts died at his hands. His cultivation became higher and deeper, gradually returning to the level he was at when he killed Hou Jingfeng. If he continued to slaughter all the monstrous beasts he came across, it would most likely not take long for him to break through to the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.
In the wastelands, there were more and more dead monstrous beasts. The stench of death grew stronger, attracting even more monstrous beasts. Mo Wen had been marked by blood after killing Hou Jingfeng and so it was easier for him to attract monstrous beasts.
Gradually, a few monstrous beasts at the pinnacle of the seventh rank appeared in the wastelands. With their appearance, the pressure on Mo Wen multiplied. However, in one-on-one combat, almost no pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beast was a match for Mo Wen.
Right now, even without using immortal cultivator magical treasures, Mo Wen could still kill monstrous beasts at the pinnacle of the seventh rank.
From night until dawn, Mo Wen killed so many monstrous beasts that he could not clearly remember the number that had died. When he began, the number of monstrous beasts in the wastelands had been increasing. Time passed as he killed more and more and the number of monstrous beasts began to dwindle. After Mo Wen killed the last monstrous beast at the pinnacle of the seventh rank, the Inner Qi in his body trembled, and an astonishing power quietly emerged.
The intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm!
Mo Wen knew that his cultivation was about to break through to the intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm. In his current condition, his intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation was enough to be comparable to ordinary pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners. It had only been a day since the Game of Death began. At the current rate of growth, it was highly likely that he could reach the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster before the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings descended.
The Inner Qi in his body circulated with increasing speed. An astonishing aura emanated from his body. Within a radius of a thousand meters, no monstrous beasts dared to approach him.
As he broke through to the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm, a voice appeared in Mo Wen’s mind. “Congratulations! You have been listed among the top 30 strongest practitioners among the human ancient martial art practitioners in this Game of Death. You can check the leaderboard through your declarative memory.”
Leaderboard of strongest practitioners? Mo Wen was slightly stunned. He subconsciously delved into his declarative memory. He saw that at the center of his declarative memory a stone monument had appeared. He did not know how long it had been there. A list of names was carved into its surface of the stone monument. From top to bottom, there were 30 names. Mo Wen discovered that his name was impressively listed among them. However, he was only ranked 28th.
The so-called top 30 strongest practitioners were the 30 strongest among the human ancient martial art practitioners in this space. This leaderboard was not ranked according to the number of monstrous beasts killed but on each individual’s cultivation.
Mo Wen had not expected that among all the human ancient martial art practitioners, he was actually only ranked in 28th position.
However, when Mo Wen gave it some thought, he understood that his own cultivation was only at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. With his foundation, it was difficult to raise his cultivation. But other human ancient martial art practitioners were mostly at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Many were even Martial Arts Grandmasters. They only needed to unseal their cultivation. Hence, they had it much easier than Mo Wen.
Although Mo Wen had killed many monstrous beasts, even killing a Beast King, his growth rate most likely could not compare to that of some human ancient martial art practitioners.
Mo Wen carefully examined the leaderboard. The person ranked first was a woman named Nangong Mingzhu. Mo Wen knew nothing about this person. Ranked second was a person called Chu Yuan. Mo Wen did not recognize any of the top five. But the person ranked sixth was very familiar. It was the Ming Temple’s Second Sect Grand Elder Wang Changhan.
Mo Wen also recognized Gao Hanshan, who was ranked 17th, and Granny Jin Hua, who was in 24th place. Pei Fengwu’s master, the swordsman Zong Changsheng, was also listed on the leaderboard. Strangely, the Ming Temple’s Third Sect Grand Elder Bu Xingyi was not there.
Among human ancient martial art practitioners, there were 15 to 20 people with Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation. But to Mo Wen’s surprise, he noticed that some Martial Arts Grandmasters were not actually listed on the leaderboard. Instead, some ancient martial art practitioners that originally had only been at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm were listed, leapfrogging some Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners.
Maybe because of the game rules of this space, opportunity often depended on one’s own strength.
After discovering that he was only ranked 28th on the leaderboard, Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief. The more human strong practitioners there were, the higher the chances of them making it through this Game of Death.
Mo Wen did not know that right now, there were already quite a few humans gathering together.
Humans and monstrous beasts were different. Humans were beings with wisdom who knew how to unite and cooperate. A few human ancient martial art practitioners in the wastelands and forests came together to form groups. They formed small hunting groups, greatly increasing their chances of killing monstrous beasts.
Some human ancient martial art practitioners from the same sect would mostly gather together. Very few people acted alone.
In a valley, a group of crimson-robed people was surrounded by a large number of monstrous beasts. Not only were there many monstrous beasts in the valley, but some of their cultivations were also high. More than half of them were above the seventh rank.
There were eight crimson-robed people in the valley. They formed a mysterious group. They advanced and retreated purposefully, calmly killing the surrounding monstrous beasts.
In the middle of the eight crimson-robed people stood a white-robed woman. She wielded a crimson red longsword and her figure was graceful. She wore a veil and her face could not be seen, but her eyes were very, very cold.
The eight crimson-robed people surrounded the white-robed woman. Their demeanors were respectful, clearly showing reverence to this woman.
The monstrous beasts that surrounded them first faced the eight crimson-robed people. However, most of the monstrous beasts did not die at the hands of the crimson-robed people, but rather at the hands of the white-robed woman.
If Mo Wen were here, he would surely have marveled at this scene. Having a faction to support you and have your back was definitely convenient. The eight crimson-robed people injured the surrounding monstrous beasts around the woman but did not kill them. Then, the white-robed woman would deal the final blow. It was as though the eight of them were constantly working hard to support the white-robed woman. The results of the eight of them were all transferred to this one person.
Such a method could cause a person to grow rapidly in a very short amount of time.
In reality, not only this team but many teams were using the same method. First, everyone would cultivate one person together, and then the person would kill more powerful monstrous beasts and cultivate his other companions.
The reason Mo Wen was only ranked 28th was not because he had killed too few monstrous beasts, but because he was alone and did not have a team to support him.
Recalling his soul power from his declarative memory, Mo Wen glanced across the surrounding wastelands. They were completely empty, with not a single monstrous beast in sight. Mo Wen had killed all the monstrous beasts in this area.
The sun slowly rose. It was already dawn. Mo Wen turned and prepared to head out to find the next wave of monstrous beasts.
However, he had just taken a few steps when a voice sounded from the sky.
“Attention all human ancient martial art practitioners. The double cultivation task will commence shortly. Seven human warriors will be chosen at random from the list of the top 30 strongest practitioners. They will represent all human ancient martial art practitioners in this double task. Once they complete the task, they will obtain double the cultivation rewards for one day.”
The Tower Spirit’s voice spread to the mind of all the human ancient martial art practitioners. In an instant, everyone knew what this meant.
The Tower Spirit had launched a double task. Once the human ancient martial art practitioners completed it, they could obtain twice the cultivation increase from killing monstrous beasts. For human ancient martial art practitioners who were fighting for their lives to kill monstrous beasts, this was a godsend. It meant that the speed at which they could increase their cultivation would be doubled. Their chances of making it through this Game of Death would, therefore, increase quite substantially.
After being given this piece of information, quite a few people exchanged excited looks. With one day’s worth of double cultivation increase, it was very likely that all human ancient martial art practitioners would be able to reach the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even if some could not do so, they would at least reach the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. With such a huge lineup, encountering the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings that were twice as strong would most likely not pose such a threat.
However, some people still frowned. The Tower Spirit certainly had its purpose for setting up this double task. If it did so in order to keep the game balanced, that would be a huge problem.
The appearance of the double task most likely meant that the difficulty of the challenge they were about to face was even higher. If they could complete the double task and obtain the double cultivation increase, that was naturally good news. If they could not complete the task and failed to get a double increase, then things would most likely be really bad for them.
Mo Wen was shocked. When the double task appeared, he immediately realized that something was off. From his experience in this space, even without the double increase, many people most likely would still be able to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. Among 300 human ancient martial art practitioners, there were at least 50 who could reach the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster.
After all, many people were originally Martial Arts Grandmasters. Even if they weren’t, most ancient martial art practitioners were at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Together with the three tool lights, it was not difficult for them to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm if they kept killing monstrous beasts for three days.
Right now, a double task was assigned. Once completed, most likely at least half of the people would break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. On the surface, it seemed to be great news for the human ancient martial art practitioners. But they must not forget that this was a game. A game, most importantly, needed to be balanced. It would be impossible for the Tower Spirit to arrange a one-sided game. The more powerful they were, the more powerful their enemies would be.
“Congratulations, you have become one of the Seven Great Human Warriors. You will automatically accept the double task. For the sake of humanity’s existence, please give it your all.”
“Transferring to the task will begin shortly…”
“Counting down in…ten…nine…”
Mo Wen had not expected that he would be randomly selected by the Tower Spirit as one of the Seven Great Human Warriors, representing all the human ancient martial art practitioners to complete this double task.
“Three…two…one, transferring to the task, status completed.”
Following the Tower Spirit’s voice, Mo Wen discovered that his surroundings suddenly shifted. He was no longer in the wastelands but in a stone ocean.
He stood on a protruding rock, gazing into the distance. All he could see was endless rugged rock formations.
As well as Mo Wen, a few more people suddenly appeared on some of the rocks nearby. Including him, there were seven of them in total.
The Seven Great Human Warriors! A strange idea welled up in Mo Wen’s mind.
