Chapter 223: Immemorial Human Race

White Cloud Temple, True Spirit Hall

White Cloud Great Master sat on the seat of honor with Zuo Leng and Ming Tian beside him.

In front of him, Ling Xiao, Ling Yixue and the others sat.

All four true disciples and eight entry disciples were here.

At this moment, the injuries of White Cloud Great Master had already healed by 70-80%. That expert of Beast King Palace had obviously had no intention of killing him.

It was probably because he had some misgivings towards Moonlight Sect behind White Cloud Great Master.

The resurrection of Ling Xiao had greatly shocked everyone in Hollow Cloud City, even White Cloud Great Master hadn’t believed it.

However, White Cloud Great Master himself was also not clear about how miraculous the ninth transformation of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> was. When all was said and done, Ling Xiao’s resurrection was a good thing; therefore, he hadn’t asked much about it. What he cared about the most now was the matter of the sect’s recruitment.

Although he was not very optimistic about Ling Xiao, he was still his entry disciple. Since Ling Xiao was alive, he was happy.

“Do you know why this Master doesn’t care about the conflict between the Blue-Eyed, Ren,and Human Races?”

White Cloud Great Master suddenly asked.

The twelve disciples shook their heads.

Although they had different thoughts in their hearts, they didn’t dare to speak out.

“Okay, this Master will tell you all today.”

White Cloud Great Master showed a gentle smile and said: “In the immemorial times, there were no such things as Ren spirits and Brave spirits, nor was there a Ren Race or Blue-Eyed Race.”

“Oh?”

Everyone was stunned.

“At that time, the Human Race was the sole race that ruled over the Heavenly Dragon Continent. It was the spirit of all creation! During that time, many immemorial demonic beasts, fierce beasts, and so on roamed the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Their strength was a lot stronger compared to the current demonic beasts and fierce beasts.”

White Cloud Great Master continued: “At that time, the only strength the Human Race relied on was martial souls!”

“Then, what’s the matter with the Ren and Blue-Eyed Races?” Ming Tian couldn’t help asking.

“About 100,000 years ago, the twelve sects had a common alliance head. He yearned for immortality. Therefore, he sent Xu Dao overseas to find an immortal panacea. When Xu Dao left, he took a thousand male and female martial artists. They are the ancestors of the Ren Race.”

White Cloud Great Master added: “Xu Dao regarded himself as the Ren Emperor, the first emperor of the Ren Race. This was the beginning of the Ren Race. The so-called Ren Spirit is just a different name for a martial soul.”

“As for the Blue-Eyed Race, they separated from the Human Race almost at the same time. At that time, the alliance head had a child who had blond hair and blue eyes, different from other people. Hence, that child was considered to be a monster and ominous. Therefore, the alliance head expelled that child, that child’s mother and her entire family to the wildlands.”

“No way, the Ren Race and Blue-Eyed Race are actually part of the Human Race?”

No matter who heard this matter, they would be utterly shocked.

Because the hatred and resentment between the Blue-Eyed, Ren, and Human Races had already been going on for thousands of years.

“Although you all can’t believe it, it’s the truth. This is also the reason the twelve sects are willing to recruit disciples from the Ren and Blue-Eyed Races.”

White Cloud Great Master sighed and said, “In addition to those two, there is also the Barbarian Race. It was a tribe created by the biological brother of that alliance head and also originally of the Human Race.”

 “Human Race, Barbarian Race, Blue-Eyed Race, and Ren Race, they are all actually from the same line? Are these the lower-class races you mentioned?”

Everyone present had a heavy mind.

Just a moment ago, the Human Race had had a huge battle against the Blue-Eyed and Ren Races. There had been countless casualties, but they were all family in the end.

“Yes, the existence of the twelve sects is to return the Human Race’s status as the ‘Spirit of All Creation’! Only like that, will the Human Race be qualified to regain control over the Heavenly Dragon Continent and compete against the races of the other twelve continents.”

White Cloud Great Master nodded and added: “The reason why this Master said these things is very simple. In the past, when you all were fighting against each other, This Master didn’t feel like caring. But now that the Landscape Martial Soul has appeared, and the twelve sects have also reappeared, the other twelve continents will know about this matter very soon. We have a common enemy. I hope you all will not continue to fight against each other.”

“We will sincerely obey Teacher’s command.”

Although all twelve geniuses replied so straight-forwardly, no one knew what was in their hearts.

“Okay. That’s it for this matter. Next, Lin Ze and Wan Ben will announce your military merits. Afterward, these military merits can be used to enter the Technique Imparting Hall to receive your rewards.”

Upon hearing White Cloud Great Master’s words, the disciples were confused.

Ling Xiao and the others of the Hidden Dragon Battalion had gained military merits, but what about Zuo Leng and Ming Tian?

Also, what about Fei Yu and the other Heavenly Ren Academy’s geniuses?

Did they also have military merits?

“I know you all are confused. It’s actually very simple. In your eyes, this war was a war of life or death, but in the eyes of this Master, it was just a trial of fire to examine you all.”

White Cloud Great Master explained: “Hidden Dragon Battalion’s military merit points were obtained by killing the Ren and Blue-Eyed Races, and Heavenly Ren Academy’s military merit points were obtained by killing the Human Race. Now, do you all understand?”

Although the words of White Cloud Great Master were difficult to accept for these twelve young disciples, White Cloud Great Master had always had such a character.

He didn’t seem to care about the deaths and injuries on both sides. This kind of matter was normal to him.

“Okay, I believe you two have already arranged the names according to how many military merit points they got, right?”

White Cloud Great master looked at Lin Ze and Wan Ben.

Here, Lin Ze represented the Human Race while Wan Ben who had just returned from outside represented the Blue-Eyed and the Ren Races.

“Let me read it.”

Wan Ben took the military merit book and read: “First…”

At this moment, Wan Ben’s expression was obviously not very good. He paused and continued: “First place is Ling Xiao, 1060 military merit points!”

“Eh?”

Upon hearing this, White Cloud Great Master was surprised. He looked at Wan Ben and asked: “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? The first isn’t Ming Tian? Or Zuo Leng? How can it be Ling Xiao?”

White Cloud Great master couldn’t believe it.

Wan Ben also couldn’t believe it.

But all the military merit points hadn’t been counted manually, but with a treasured tool. It was very unlikely for there to be a mistake.

In the True Spirit Hall, Ming Tian, Zuo Leng, and everyone of Heavenly Ren Academy’s faces weren’t pleasant.

However, they didn’t dare to directly question Wan Ben.

“Replying to Teacher, there was a special circumstance here. Ling Xiao cooperated with Lin Ze to kill a Rank Nine powerhouse of the Ren Race. Therefore, he got more military merit points.”

“The words of Governor Wan Ben are incorrect.”

Lin Ze said: “The military merit points are counted by the treasured tools. After killing this Rank Nine powerhouse, Ling Xiao got 90% of the military merit points, and I got just 10%. It should be me who cooperated with Ling Xiao, not Ling Xiao who cooperated with me.”

“Okay, it’s not the time to discuss it. How many military merit points did he get by killing this Rank Nine powerhouse?”

White Cloud Great Master interrupted Lin Ze.

“Slaying a Rank Nine powerhouse had a total of 500 points. Ling Xiao got 450.”

Wan Ben replied.

“But even a Rank Nine powerhouse shouldn’t have given so many military merit points, isn’t that so?”

White Cloud Great Master asked.

“Teacher, it’s like this: that person possessed a Shadow Martial Soul, which posed a maximum threat to Hollow Cloud City. If he hadn’t died, it is likely that this war would have changed its course. Therefore, his death granted so many military merit points.”

Lin Ze replied.

“Well, be that as it may, even with the addition of 450 military merit points, it’s not quite right. Could it be that there is something wrong with the treasured tool?”
