Shou Yue saw Bai Ye come out and asked with a smile, "Are you full?"
Bai Ye nodded. "I'm full. It was delicious."
Bai Ye sat beside Shou Yue and watched the two sparring in the arena.
Shou Yue smiled and introduced, "The one in the blue clothes is Kai Ge, and the other is Mulan Jie. She's the one who picked you up from the ancient road."
Bai Ye nodded. "Is this the Great Wall?"
Shou Yue nodded. "We are all part of the Great Wall Guard Army."
Bai Ye rested his chin on his hand and thought. There wasn't just one world with a Great Wall. In Bai Ye's own world, the Great Wall had become a tourist attraction, solely used for taking pictures. Naturally, there was no Great Wall Guard Army. However, in other worlds, it might be different.
So, the question arose.
What world's Great Wall was this?
At this moment, Mulan and Kai's spar had ended. They wiped their sweat with handkerchiefs and then walked towards Bai Ye.
"Outsider, are you awake?" Mulan's voice carried a sense of boldness. Although she was a woman, she possessed an indescribable heroism and spiritedness. She smiled at Bai Ye and asked, "Do you have a name?"
Bai Ye replied, "Bai Ye."
"That's a pity," Mulan said, looking at Kai. "I thought you, like him, had forgotten your past and yourself."
"I don't want to have amnesia either," Kai said, putting down his handkerchief. "Li Xin is looking for me, so I have to go. You two chat."
Bai Ye was taken aback. "Li Xin?"
Shou Yue explained, "Yes, Mulan Jie is our captain, and Li Xin is our commander."
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, resting his chin on his hand. "Do you know Lu Bu?"
Shou Yue and Kai exchanged glances, their expressions puzzled.
"I have heard that name," Mulan said. "East of Chang'an, there is a place called the Land of Three Kingdoms. It is home to many fierce generals. And that person named Lu Bu is the strongest in the Land of Three Kingdoms. His martial prowess is unmatched, and no one can contend with him. People there call him the God of War."
Kai looked on with longing. "If such a person truly exists, I would really like to spar with him."
Bai Ye thought for a moment. "Are you defending the Great Wall for Chang'an?"
Mulan replied, "No, we are defending the Great Wall for the people of the world."
Shou Yue added, "Of course, the Great Wall is the gateway to Chang'an, so it's not wrong to say we are defending it for Chang'an. As long as the Great Wall stands, Chang'an can remain eternally peaceful."
Bai Ye nodded and tentatively asked again, "Is there someone named Sikong Zhen in Chang'an City?"
"Lord Sikong?" Mulan asked. "He is the right-hand man of the Empress. Have you heard of him?"
Bai Ye smiled. "The power of lightning?"
Mulan nodded. "Yes, Lord Sikong wields the power of lightning."
That's it!
Bai Ye knew where he was.
This was a very peculiar region, vast in area. As far as Bai Ye knew, it comprised several smaller regions such as the Great Wall, Chang'an, the Land of Three Kingdoms, the Hanging Sky, the City of Sand, and Yunmeng Marsh, forming a large territory.
Bai Ye wasn't very clear about the background of this region.
After all, there were too many small areas, and each had its own story. The Great Wall had its story, Chang'an had its story, and the Land of Three Kingdoms had its story.
However, Bai Ye knew what the most valuable thing in this region was, and that was - possession!
How valuable was it?
Bai Ye had experienced the possession of the God of War Lu Bu, which was of golden quality. He could kill gods and buddhas alike, incredibly powerful.
There were many ways to obtain this possession ability. Forbidden zones and hidden quests could potentially grant it, but the most direct method was a place called the Heroic Tomb.
Within the Heroic Tomb lay the graves of many powerful individuals from this region. By passing the trials of the corresponding graves, one could obtain the possession ability of the corresponding hero.
Therefore, in his previous life, this region was also referred to as the Heroic Region by the chosen ones who entered the world battlefield.
Bai Ye mentioned two names. The God of War Lu Bu, naturally, was because he had obtained his possession ability through the gacha machine before. As for Sikong Zhen, it was because Bai Ye had obtained Sikong Zhen's possession ability by challenging the Heroic Tomb in his previous life.
Bai Ye also had some familiarity with the name of the Great Wall commander Li Xin, and it was because of this that he recalled this place might be the Heroic Region. The reason was that in his previous life, Bai Ye had visited a forbidden zone called the Land of Fallen Gods, a place where darkness and light battled. Part of Li Xin's power also originated from that forbidden zone.
While Bai Ye's thoughts were wandering, Kai had already left due to an engagement, and Mulan was looking at Bai Ye with great interest.
Suddenly, Mulan spoke, "Bai Ye, can you fight?"
"Ah?" Bai Ye snapped back to attention and looked at Mulan. "I can manage, I have some understanding of combat techniques."
Mulan smiled. "I didn't get enough of a fight earlier. Do you want to spar with me?"
"Uh..." Bai Ye scratched his head. "This..."
Mulan walked to the center of the arena with a smile and drew two short swords from her waist. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
Shou Yue smiled at Bai Ye. "I'm not good at close combat, so I can't spar with Mulan Jie. If it's not too much trouble for you, please entertain her."
Bai Ye nodded. "Alright, let's spar."
Bai Ye stepped forward directly, facing Mulan.
Mulan asked, "Do you need me to lend you a weapon?"
"No need," Bai Ye took out the sword case of the Seven-Colored Rainbow. "I have my weapon."
Mulan smiled. "Since that's the case, here I come. Be careful."
*Clang!*
The moment Mulan finished speaking, she stomped her feet and charged forward.
"Still as a shadow, swift as the wind!"
In almost an instant, Mulan covered five to six meters and was right in front of Bai Ye.
So fast!
Bai Ye found himself without even the chance to draw his sword. The valiant female general in front of him had already reached him, her two short blades slashing towards him.
In his haste, Bai Ye could only raise his sword case to block in front of him.
*Clang!*
A short blade struck the sword case, emitting a clear ringing sound. Immediately after, Bai Ye tapped the side of the sword case, and it opened.
Bai Ye drew a sword from it and slashed forward. But Mulan's reaction was quick. The moment Bai Ye raised his sword, she leaped backward, moving out of Bai Ye's attack range in advance.
However, what Mulan leaped out of was only the range of an ordinary sword. But the sword in Bai Ye's hand...
Was no ordinary sword!
Bai Ye quickly formed a sword seal, and then the red sword in his hand transformed into a red sword light, shooting forward.
