"What kind of place is this Killing Field?" Luo Feng asked immediately. "It's a good place," Lei Shen said, feigning mystery. "Go once, and you'll love going back," Hong added, keeping them in suspense. A crisp voice rang out: "The Killing Field is a special training ground for warriors and mentalists. There, you can have any opponent you desire. Group battles? One-on-one? Fighting against a Realm Lord expert? The Killing Field can satisfy all your needs, though the daily cost is quite high." Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen turned their heads. The one who had just spoken was Babata, perched on Luo Feng's shoulder. "Luo Feng." The voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind, "This Killing Field is also part of my training plan for you. Originally, I was going to tell you once you received your teacher's bank account. However, you were busy dealing with the Nuolanshan Family Fleet. You didn't have time for the Killing Field then, but go now; that place is excellent." Praised as excellent by Babata? "Let's go, let's check it out now." Luo Feng couldn't hold back his excitement. "I knew you, Sanzi, couldn't wait." Lei Shen chugged his drink, and after settling the bill, the three immediately left the bar. ... The Black Dragon Mountain Island in the Virtual Universe is incredibly vast, so it has internal teleportation channels. Depending on the distance, a fee is required. Internal island teleportation isn't expensive, but if you want to travel from Black Dragon Mountain Island to the 'Ganwu Continent,' the price becomes astonishing. Black Dragon Mountain Island, Killing Field. "Wow!" Against a backdrop resembling a boundless sea of blood, a single 'blood drop' stood out most prominently. The entire hall was enveloped in this atmosphere, its vastness stretching beyond sight. Though the people within the hall were sparse, given its city-sized scale, there were likely tens of thousands present. "In the Killing Field, the consumption cost is very high. For example, I need 1 million Black Dragon coins, or 700 Ganwu coins, per day," Hong whispered. "That expensive?" Luo Feng jumped in surprise. For example, the richest individuals on ordinary planets like Bailan Star have assets around 100 million Black Dragon coins. This means even those planetary magnates can't afford to let their children train in the Killing Field for extended periods. After all, 100 million Black Dragon coins would only last 100 days. No wonder the foot traffic here isn't too heavy. "You, Laosan, are a Stellar-level First-tier, so your price will be even higher," Hong whispered. "That's right, mentalists cost more than warriors," Lei Shen added from the side. "I need 2 million Black Dragon coins a day. You're a mentalist, and I checked, you'll need 5 million Black Dragon coins, or 3500 Ganwu coins, per day." "That's outrageous," Luo Feng was completely stunned. "And the higher you go, the stronger your power, the more astonishing the daily cost here becomes," Lei Shen whispered. "If a Realm Lord expert came here, the money needed for one day would be an astronomical figure for us." "High price? What a joke, that's utter nonsense!" Babata's voice rang in Luo Feng's mind. "A place that can provide any enemy you desire, where even spatial secret techniques, mental force weapons, and more can be deployed—where else can you find such an environment? This place is excellent for cultivating elites for various families, sects, organizations, and empires across the cosmos." Luo Feng nodded slightly. "Go and link your bank account," Lei Shen said. "That way, expenses can be directly deducted from your account." "Understood. Where do I link it?" Luo Feng asked. "Follow me." Led by Hong and Lei Shen, Luo Feng went to the counter and linked his account. ... At the end of the hall were several corridors. "Walk into any corridor, and you'll directly enter a Killing Space that belongs only to you," Lei Shen whispered. "Feel free to choose whatever kind of opponent you want to set up." "We won't accompany you inside now," Hong also chuckled. Luo Feng nodded. During their conversation, Luo Feng saw many people entering the depths of the corridors. Among them were quite a few Cosmic Mercenaries, and Luo Feng even spotted a 'Two-Star Cosmic Mercenary.' It had to be said that while experts were rarely seen on Black Dragon Mountain Island normally, they were ubiquitous in this Killing Field. "Also, did you see that old man over there?" Lei Shen whispered. "Hmm?" Luo Feng turned to look. Indeed, there was an old man with green skin and a head full of wrinkles, sitting leisurely in a chair, eyes squinted. None of the other people resting in the hall dared to disturb him. From an Earthling's perspective, the old man's appearance was unsightly. Yet, he exuded a strange sense of tranquility that calmed the heart. "His name is Manluo, and he's the general manager of the Killing Field's Black Dragon Mountain Island branch," Lei Shen whispered. "We once saw quite a show; this old man severely reprimanded two Cosmic Mercenaries, but those two mercenaries didn't dare to talk back at all." "Oh?" Luo Feng was very surprised. In the Virtual Universe, even if you are an immortal being, you cannot kill anyone! After all, this is just a network! So... even if you are a big shot, people might respect you and give you face. But if they don't respect you, they won't care about you! For him to make two Cosmic Mercenaries not dare to talk back was indeed very strange. "Heh heh." The green-skinned old man in the distance looked over at Luo Feng and the others, grinning. "Damn." Luo Feng and the other two jumped in fright. "He heard us?" "Never mind, let's quickly enter the Killing Space." Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen each walked down a corridor, heading deeper inside. ... As he walked, the surrounding space suddenly transformed. It was a vast starry sky. Luo Feng stood on an asteroid, a golden book appearing in his hand. The book seemed to be made of metal. After flipping through it once, Luo Feng understood. "This is the Killing Space?" "Babata, send the request. I need 1000 Planet-level Ninth-tier warriors as opponents." Luo Feng's eyes faintly reddened, and he licked his lips. "I've held back for too long! It's time to vent!" After the body snatching, Luo Feng felt a bloodthirsty urge to kill almost every day, repeatedly assaulting his soul. Luo Feng had simply been suppressing it. "No problem!" "Luo Feng, I've set the combat environment to a desert. The 1000 opponents will use ordinary force weapons, and you've chosen the Third-tier mental force weapon 'Duntiansuo' and a Second-tier Combat Armor," Babata said. "The request has been sent." As long as a weapon exists in the cosmos, 99.99% of them can be selected in the Killing Space. Rumble~~ The Killing Space began to change. The original starry sky vanished, replaced by a vast desert. Luo Feng stood on the desert ground, clad in blood-red Combat Armor, with the Duntiansuo hovering before him. Simultaneously, a dense swarm of warriors, all in white Combat Armor and wielding various weapons, appeared in the distant sky. "Kill!" "Kill him!" The mighty army of warriors, eyes red, charged towards Luo Feng. Luo Feng, however, revealed a smile from the bottom of his heart. Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~ The Duntiansuo instantly split into 30 razor-thin blades. Each of the 30 blades was spaced slightly apart, naturally forming the shape of a swordfish. At the same time, each blade faintly glowed with golden threads, which interconnected through every blade, assembling a lifelike swordfish. Duntiansuo's Second Form: Swordfish Array! "Rumble~~" The charge of 1000 powerful warriors was like a dark cloud descending, pressing down on Luo Feng. Whoosh! Luo Feng shot into the sky, directly charging into the midst of the massive group of warriors. "Ah!" "Pfft!" Wherever that golden swordfish darted, a bloody storm erupted. Yet, the entire warrior army completely disregarded their losses, instead madly surrounding and pursuing Luo Feng. Time passed minute by minute; not a single warrior retreated until the last one dissolved into a rain of blood and fell from mid-air, ending the battle. Luo Feng, covered in blood, stood in the desert and let out a long breath: "Much better." "You forcibly suppress that killing intent every day. The longer you do, the more uncomfortable you feel deep down. Eventually, you might even go mad. Now, a bout of frenzied killing has a cathartic effect. It would be strange if you didn't feel better!" "Babata, is this a side effect of the body snatching?" Luo Feng asked helplessly. Before the body snatching, he was decisive in killing, but it wasn't... there was always a bloodthirsty urge to kill deep within him! This bloodlust was ingrained; every Golden Horned Beast was known for its bloodthirsty nature. Although Luo Feng's human soul forcibly suppressed it, it was merely suppressed, not eliminated. "You're getting a bargain and still complaining!" Babata scoffed. "Haha." Luo Feng looked at his body, "If it weren't for the setting that I had this Second-tier Combat Armor, I'm afraid I would have died." 1000 Planet-level Ninth-tier warriors could easily kill a Stellar-level First-tier. Although Luo Feng's consciousness was powerful and his mental force weapon displayed astonishing power, he still suffered several heavy blows, with the Combat Armor weakening most of the attack power. ... The bloodthirsty urge, suppressed for several years, was now fully unleashed. First, he madly slaughtered 1000 Planet-level Ninth-tier warriors. Second, he fought alone against ten Stellar-level First-tier warriors, killing eight before being severely wounded and dying! Third, Luo Feng directly set his opponent as 'Lei Shen,' a Stellar-level First-tier with a First-level Domain, using a Second-tier force weapon and Second-tier Combat Armor... As a result, Luo Feng was killed by Lei Shen. It was then that Luo Feng realized his past strength compared to Lei Shen was indeed due to the advantage of his mental force weapon. If Lei Shen had a Second-tier force weapon, Luo Feng would have lost. Fourth, Luo Feng again set his opponent to be equivalent to 'Hong'... ... After a total of 98 battles, Luo Feng felt incredibly exhausted, yet also immensely satisfied. Exhilarating! He had never experienced such an exhilarating battle in his life, where he could freely choose opponents and set their strength. "Tired, aren't you?" Babata looked at Luo Feng, who was lying in the desert, "Luo Feng, since you've finished your battles, let me tell you about the most important use of this Killing Field. This place is very expensive. You only pay 3500 Ganwu coins a day, but a Universe-level First-tier mentalist needs 350,000 Ganwu coins, a Domain Lord First-tier needs 35 million Ganwu coins. A Realm Lord First-tier mentalist needs 3.5 billion Ganwu coins a day. Do you know why it's so expensive? And why, despite the cost, Realm Lords still come here?" Luo Feng was startled. Realm Lord... An existence who, upon joining a powerful empire, could receive a galaxy as their fief, an existence capable of establishing their own world. 3.5 billion Ganwu coins—while they could afford it, no one was a fool. This Killing Field must offer commensurate value to attract them. "The most important aspect of this Killing Field, you, Hong, and Lei Shen, are all unaware of," Babata said, proudly raising its head.
