Chapter 24: The Southern Wilderness Area
758 Words
Three hundred miles away to the north of the Imperial City, there was a desolate and uninhabited land. The area was vast and steep. It was the southern wilderness Area!
Many years ago, before the Cherish Dynasty was established, this vastly acclaimed land was a paradise for countless kinds of monsters.
The great ancestor of the Cherish Dynasty led the heroes to fight around and establish the dynasty. He built the Imperial City three hundred miles from the Southern Wilderness Area. He drove all monsters into the Southern Wilderness Area with all the dynasty's help and sealed them in the Southern Wilderness Area.
Since then, the first emperor ordered the Southern Wilderness Area to be designated as a hunting area for practice and training. Once a year, all princes, generals, and royal family members needed to enter the Southern Wilderness Area to sharpen themselves.
It was a compulsory order. Anyone who reached the Realm of the Reinforced Qi must enter the Southern Wilderness Area.
Although Will hadn't reached the Realm of the Reinforced Qi, the power he displayed was almost as strong as the power of a person who had just reached the Realm of Reinforced Qi. Will might even be stronger. This was probably the reason why the emperor asked him to enter the South Area.
Outside the Southern Wilderness Area, an open land was set up as a training field. Around the field, expressionless soldiers of the Cherish Dynasty wearing armor stood guarding it.
When Will arrived, many youths had come. They gathered together and talked in a low voice.
Will could feel that these youths were formidable even from far away. He knew that these people were the most outstanding people among the descendants of the princes and generals.
Along with the princes, compared to those princes and descendants of generals at the ancestor worship ceremony, these people were the true future and hope of the dynasty. They were influential in cultivation and had long been sharpened in the army.
"Your Highness!"
When Will approached the field, the guards immediately saw him and saluted.
It could be seen that the news about Will's cultivation talent had spread out, and even these soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round knew it. Otherwise, such a loser prince would not be able to be treated so respectfully.
Will got off the unicorn, patted its back lightly, and said, "Go back by yourself. Be careful, and don't be caught by anyone else."
Unicorns were also a kind of monster. They were relatively docile and easy to be tamed. Before they learned how to fly in the air, unicorns were the best means of transportation. They had intelligence and knew their way back.
As Will approached, everyone looked at him. They all heard the sound of the soldiers. Before that, they knew that Will would participate in the practice in the Southern Wilderness.
Many people knew Will. But not so many of them had seen him with their own eyes. So, they all wanted to see in person what the loser prince had become.
Of course, Will did look quite well.
Their gazes were contained with a lot of fear and other complicated feelings.
In any case, they thought the crown prince's talent was great, reaching the Realm of Qi Condensation from nothing in just seven months.
The gaze swept, and then one after another sounded respectful voices.
Will nodded slightly and walked in front of everyone.
"Your Highness!"
"Oh, my brother is also here!"
Brad said, "I have received the mission to practice in the Southern Wilderness Area a long time ago. Therefore, I couldn't go to have a drink with you. I am so sorry."
Will smiled and said, "The training in the Southern Wilderness Area is the most important. You may need some time to prepare. Don't be sorry."
Brad said, "Thank you for your understanding. Your Highness, I have some friends here. Let me introduce you to them!"
Will raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm a little tired from the journey here. I want to take a break first. You can introduce them to me when I return to Imperial City."
Brad didn't insist. He answered, "Then, Your Highness, pardon me. I'll go and say hello to my friends."
"Okay!"
Except for Brad, no one came forward to greet him. In their eyes, Will seemed to be transparent.
