My Apocalypse Territory

The selection for Sanctuary Qualification continued for several hours, and exploring the Holy City consumed a few more. By the time Tang Yu used a Return Scroll for a strategic retreat, the sky had begun to turn dusky.

Several people had suffered varying degrees of injuries.

For the likes of Nancy and Eileen, their injuries were minor. With their Transcendent vitality, they wouldn't need to do anything but rest for a day to return to peak condition.

The most severely injured was Grey Blade.

Having just broken through, he hadn't yet become accustomed to the various powers of the Transcendent Tier. Among the group, his combat power was the weakest... At this moment, his breath was faint, his body nearly unrecognizable under the blood, and even his left arm had been cut off.

With such injuries, even a Transcendent's strong recovery abilities couldn't prevent death, it would take months for him to heal naturally.

Especially the abnormal energy infiltrating his body, it would require a great deal of time to expel. And the severed arm, not having been retrieved, would typically result in permanent disability unless one day he broke through to the second tier of the Transcendent, condensed an "Undying Body," and could regenerate the lost limb.

But Green Shadow had a mature set of healing techniques.

Winnie had not yet stepped into the Transcendent Tier; however, with the help of the appropriate Healing Array, her already ample spiritual power was amplified dozens of times. She had taught several ability users with the talent for casting Healing Spells, and Green Shadow's healing team began to take shape. With cooperation from the Spell Research Institute and the incorporation of modern medicine, a series of treatments like "Skillful Stitching Technique," "Pain Relief Healing," and "Wound Cleaning Skill" had been developed. Even those without the talent for healing could learn and master these techniques with training.

Paired with potions, they were enough to regenerate lost limbs.

Grey Blade was not worried. As he was being lifted onto a stretcher, he tilted his head slightly and tried to speak to Tang Yu, "Because of this injury, I might need to take a one... or two-month leave. During this time, I won't be able to handle the intelligence work; it has to be handed over to... to... Lorraine. Right, giving it to her would be no problem!"

The Lord merely tilted his head slightly, his eyes devoid of life, expressionlessly looking at him.

As if to say, don't you have any idea how long it will take for you to recover?

Grey Blade did have a little idea.

With the aid of the medical department, it would likely only take about ten days, no, eight days... no, probably just five or six days to fully recover.

However, Grey Blade only wanted to slack off... No, that's not right, he wanted to cultivate!

Thinking back, his strength was comparable to Eileen's, and his talent was not lacking, but now he had fallen behind by more than one notch, he might not even beat the Lord!

That was a loss of face he couldn't afford.

He wanted to strive harder; he wanted to become stronger!

As for work, he could think about it after he had spent all his Source Crystals.

Their gazes locked for two seconds, and Grey Blade's body started convulsing violently, "Ah, I... the injury is... too severe."

He then tilted his head as if he'd passed out.

Tang Yu: "..."

Eileen: "..."

Red Moon: "..." wished to secretly draw some blood for experiments.

The Awakener carrying the stretcher: "..." wondering whether to carry on or not.

...

The dim remaining light slowly faded away at the edge of the sky.

Tang Yu rubbed his swollen head, feeling as though countless bells were ringing in a buzz.

He really wanted to sleep, but he knew, his spiritual power was low, yet extremely active, like countless particles colliding inside his forehead.

He sighed and stepped out of the castle district.

Walking on a path paved with broken stones, the fragrance of the faint flowers and grass was overwhelming.

It was very quiet here; the villas on either side were no longer for rent or sale, only lit by dim Source Power Lights.

The Inner City's walls were twenty meters high, not bad, but now, they were more of a symbolic measure. Even the walls of the Outer City District didn't serve as the main defense in the face of Green Shadow's rapid development—after all, one couldn't wait for the Demon Tide to wash over before clearing out the Demonized Beasts.

Stepping out of the Inner City wall, the world suddenly became noisy.

The world at the foot of the mountain was filled with towering buildings, dazzled by lights, and the streets swarmed with people and ceaseless vehicles.

This was Green Shadow, a world he had built from ruins.

No need to worry about the threat of Demonized Beasts, no slums, and as long as one worked hard, they could have a decent life... Elders and children could wear genuine smiles in this cold winter.

A great sense of achievement flooded his heart.

Unknowingly, I have become so great.

Tang Yu felt deeply moved.

His resolve became even firmer.

...

Standing on the edge of the mid-mountain, he leaped forward, and the air beneath his feet solidified, as solid as bricks, his steps in the air as if on solid ground.

The skies above Green Shadow were forbidden to fly, but naturally, this did not apply to him.

Using the darkness of the high altitude, he attracted no attention, and Tang Yu took a shortcut. Soon, he arrived at the area housing the "Moonlight Waterfall." A hundred-strong Guardian Corps was stationed here with warning lines set up to keep bystanders out.

After nodding slightly to the stationed Captain, Tang Yu went straight to the bottom of the Moonlight Waterfall.

It was different from what he had seen in the Holy City.

The colossal waterfall, nearly a hundred meters wide, poured down from a kilometer in the sky, mist and spray obscuring the vision, dim and hazy like an Immortal Realm creating an indescribable sense of awe.

The repaired "Moonlight Waterfall" had regained some of its original features; refining Source Power was no longer a superficial task determined by the waterfall's width. Instead, the refining effect under the entire waterfall progressed, increasing the difficulty at each step, allowing Refiners to choose the level best suited for them.

Tang Yu stepped on the stone path and walked in, feeling the water droplets tickling his face.

Soon, he reached the bottom of the waterfall. The surging force struck down directly from the top of his skull, and in the calm pond of his inner Source Qi, ripples emerged.
