Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 108 Demonic Martial Realm, Ten Kings!

"More than a thousand high-level wizard apprentices..."

After listening to some semi-public information collected by Chevala, Rorschach, who was originally excited because he had just reached a new level, couldn't help but calm down.

Of course he knew that this number was not an exaggeration.

After all, this is a sacrificial ceremony based on the entire Eighth Blood Hell. Looking across the Eighth Blood Hell, there are hundreds of territories like the Black Bone Domain and the Joyful Domain, and each territory has a large number of high-level wizard apprentices.

Just like the Black Bone Domain where Rorschach stayed the longest, the number of high-level wizard apprentices alone may be more than a hundred, and the Black Bone Domain is not a big territory in the Eighth Blood Prison.

For a feast like this, if only one-tenth of the high-level wizard apprentices from each territory came, that would add up to more than a thousand.

Rorschach was not surprised by how exaggerated this number was, but he was unable to fully adapt to the change in the level of combat power for a while.

In the Gray Domain, mid-level gold is already the top combat power, while upper-level gold basically only exists in rumors and is rarely seen.

However, any high-level wizard apprentice is higher than the upper gold in terms of life level!
Although Rorschach has experienced a lot from the Gray Domain to the Blood Prison world group, it has actually been less than a year in total.

This gave him a sense of unreality.

It was not until the Morning Star Wizard who was responsible for explaining the rules of the Blood Hunt announced loudly, "Please welcome the Lord Prison Master," that Rorschach's attention was drawn back.

Just as the Morning Star Wizard finished his words, an extremely huge shadow suddenly appeared behind him, looking like a towering giant!

Rorschach naturally would not miss this opportunity and observed directly:

"Name: Wrathful Soul, Eighth Lord of the Prison"

"Race: Blood Hell Wizard"

"Personality:???"

"ability:???"

"Hint: A hot-tempered old man with a big fist. He has a straightforward personality. He appreciates people who are brave and straightforward. He hates those who are mean and mean."

……

"Sure enough, we still cannot observe the existence above the Morning Star." Rorschach was not surprised to see a bunch of question marks appearing in the observation information of the True Prison Eye, because he had guessed that this might be the case before the observation.

Today, he is basically certain that his cheap father Zeus is definitely not the Morning Star Wizard.

In the process of interacting with the Black Bone Wizard, he could draw a basic conclusion, that is, the Blood Prison Decree was a precious item that was out of reach even for a Two-Ring Morning Star like the Black Bone Wizard.

The fact that Zeus could give him a Blood Prison Decree was enough to show that Zeus's strength and status were far superior to those of the Black Bone Wizard!

In addition, the objects he cannot observe now are basically not Morning Star Wizards, and it is very likely that the same is true for Zeus.

"Why would someone above the Morning Star run to a small world like the Gray Domain that is regarded as an ordinary trial ground, and bring with him a life puppet that can ignore bloodline level?" Luo Xia now felt that this matter was not simple.

But he didn't have time to think about these things now, because the huge phantom representing the 8th Prison Lord Wrathful Soul Wizard in the distance made a new move at this time -

But the huge phantom seemed to scoop up something in the void, and then scooped out a ball of something that was also a phantom, and then threw it casually, causing it to hover above the central city!
Rorschach immediately used the True Prison Eye to observe the phantom again, and soon obtained the information of the phantom hovering above the central city:

"Name: Magic Martial Domain"

"Information: In the year 1918 of Tianyuan, a magic stone fell from the sky, shocking the world. Under the influence of the magic stone, all things were alienated, magic beasts and magic plants were rampant, and mankind was defeated. Until the founder of magic and martial arts, Matthew, appeared and created the way of magic and martial arts that could absorb the power of magic stones. Since then... the magic and martial arts era has arrived!"

"Reminder: It is now the year 2023 of the Magic Martial Era, and the way of magic and martial arts has already developed to an extremely impressive level. However, the monsters have long been much stronger than at the beginning of the Magic Martial Era. Even ten monsters called the 'Ten Kings' have been born, each of which has the ability to split mountains and seas!"

……

After seeing the information from the phantom, Luo Xia understood that this Demonic Martial Realm should be the target of their blood hunt this time.

According to the introduction, this seems to be a world that has embarked on extraordinary martial arts due to the arrival of the "Magic Stone", and it may have been a technological civilization before that.

However, with the level of technology at the time, it was difficult to fight against the mutated monsters that were everywhere. It was not until someone invented the magic and martial arts that could absorb the power of magic stones that humans were able to fight back with the power of magic and martial arts.

However, it is obvious that even if humans have mastered the art of magic and martial arts, there is still an innate gap between humans and magical beasts and plants, which is not so easy to bridge.

Even in the year 2023 of the Magic and Martial Era, humans are unable to completely eliminate monsters and can only barely reach a certain balance point.

"So the target of the Blood Hunt this time is the humans in the Demon Martial Domain, or?" Luo Xia pondered after figuring out the situation in the Demon Martial Domain.

But soon, the Eighth Prison Master's next words answered his confusion:
"The Blood Hunter World is ready. You will appear randomly at any location in this small world. As for the hunting targets...any living creature except other Blood Hunters within your sight can contribute blood energy!"

"Blood Hunt, begin!"

The eighth prison master's speech was very brief, and he did not intend to communicate with anyone. He just stated the rules and announced the start.

Almost at the moment when the words fell, all the wizard apprentices who signed up for the Blood Hunt were shrouded in red light.

*********
"I actually automatically understood the language of the Demonic Martial Realm. What a familiar start..." When the scene in front of Rorschach returned to normal, he had already appeared in an alley, and there was already an extra language in his mind.

This familiar operation immediately reminded him of when he first arrived in the Gray Domain, and he automatically became proficient in the Gray Domain's common language.

The only difference is that the Gray Domain's common language is actually the common language of the wizarding world, while the Magic and Martial Arts Domain has its own language system.

Just like the blue water planet.

Rorschach walked out of the alley and looked at the appearance of the surrounding city. He found that it looked a bit like the Blue Water Planet in the early twentieth century.

The overall painting style is more modern and urban, but the vehicles on the street look a bit old, which is enough to indirectly show that after the Magic and Martial Arts Era, humans in this world have not focused much on technological development.

At most, in terms of life, some technology before the Magic and Martial Age has been retained.

Rorschach sensed Chevala's location through the master-slave mark and found that the two were quite far apart and probably wouldn't meet for a while.

"Let's wait and see if anyone comes forward." Rorschach was not in a hurry to start hunting, because the one who strikes first does not mean he will have the last laugh.

Without knowing the detailed information about this world, if you step out rashly, you may become the target of concentrated fire, and the targets may not be limited to the natives of the Demonic Martial Realm, but may also be other Blood Hunters!
Although hunting other blood hunters will not provide blood energy, if you are unlucky enough to encounter an important one, you may be retaliated by the person behind him.

But there has never been any rule that stipulates that Blood Hunters cannot harm each other. There has never been a shortage of unlucky people who were killed by other Blood Hunters in the past. This is no longer a secret.

Therefore, most of the truly smart people, or the Blood Hunters who are truly qualified to compete for the top one thousand, should not come forward first.

Only a very small number of people who are absolutely confident in their own abilities, or some simply reckless men, may directly start a fight without thinking.

Having made up his mind, Rorschach released little David first.

As his attendant, Little David could be regarded as a part of his strength and naturally did not violate the rules of the Blood Hunter.

Besides, the Blood Hunting had no rules to begin with. Except that Morning Star-level forces could not enter the small world, there were no other taboos.

As for secretly bringing in other wizard apprentice-level helpers, that is even more unnecessary, because they can participate openly. This is a sacrificial ceremony without any threshold, so there is no need to hide it.

"Uncle, are we back to the Blue Water Planet?" Little David couldn't help but ask curiously after seeing the surrounding situation clearly.

"This is not the Blue Water Planet, this is a place called the Demonic Martial Domain..." Rorschach smiled and told little David the story of the Demonic Martial Domain. Although it was just a brief outline, little David listened with great interest.

……

"Huh... I'm finally done."

Looking at the martial arts hall that she had just cleaned, Ma Xiaoling wiped the sweat from her forehead and prepared to change clothes and go home.

She is an apprentice here, but because she has depended on her grandfather since childhood, it is difficult for her to afford the tuition. She can only work part-time as a handyman in the martial arts field to offset the tuition, and the extra money can be used to supplement the family expenses.

So she was always the first to arrive and the last to leave, and basically all the chores in the martial arts gym were done by her alone.

Look, the martial arts school closed at 5:30, but she was busy until almost 8 o'clock in the evening.

The next morning at 6:30, she had to rush to the martial arts gym to open it early and do some preparatory work. It was really hard work.

In fact, today was considered good. At the latest, she might not finish her work until after nine in the evening, and when she got home she could basically do nothing.

Unlike today, she still had time to go home and have dinner with her grandfather.

However, just as she closed the door of the martial arts hall, a voice suddenly came from behind her and startled her:
"Hello——" "Ah?!" Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but let out a low cry.

She looked back and found that the person who was talking was a young man with a child, but he did not look like an Oriental.

"Hello?" the man said again.

"You too." Ma Xiaoling said subconsciously, but after she finished speaking, she realized that she was talking nonsense, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry, I was just thinking about something, so I was scared."

"It's okay." The man smiled and shook his head. "My name is Luo Xia, and this is my nephew, Little David. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"My name is Ma Xiaoling."

"Ma Xiaoling? That's a nice name." Luo Xia nodded with a smile, and a figure with long legs from his previous life emerged in his mind.

This made him look at the person in front of him again, and he found that the legs were surprisingly long, which gave him an even more strange feeling.

Ma Xiaoling felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party, and asked nervously: "Mr. Rorschach, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, it's like this. I was passing by here with my nephew and we met robbers who stole all our things."

Luo Xia pondered and said, "I think it's getting late, and I want to find a place to rest with my nephew. Miss Ma, can you help us find a place to stay? When I find a way to contact my family, I will definitely repay you."

"Is that so?" Ma Xiaoling suddenly realized.

If Rorschach was alone, she might think that the other person was a liar or something, but the other person was with a child, so he didn't seem like a liar.

Besides, the other party just wanted to find a place to stay and was not asking for money, so he must really need help.

Thinking of this, she said weakly: "If you don't mind, Mr. Rorschach, you can go to my house to rest for a while. The environment may be a little simple. If you are not used to it, I can ask for you..."

"Then let's go to your house, Miss Ma. Sorry to bother you." Luo Xia said.

"Okay, then come with me. My home is not far from here." Ma Xiaoling led Luo Xia and the others.

……

Just as Ma Xiaoling said, her home was indeed a bit simple.

She lives in the old city. Although her house has a small yard and a few bungalows, it looks very old.

This was probably why she was not too worried that Rorschach had ulterior motives, because her family was so poor that they could not be deceived at all, and Rorschach had a child with him, so he probably would not have any bad intentions towards her.

"Grandpa, I'm back—"

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Ma Xiaoling had already shouted inside.

Not long after, an old man who looked to be about 60 years old came out of the house and asked in surprise:

"have a guest?"

After greeting Luo Xia, Ma Xiaoling quickly ran to the old man and explained the whole story in a low voice.

Rorschach also habitually used his True Prison Eyes to look at the old man's information, but the result made him stunned:
"Name: Ma Chongshan"

"Race: Humanity"

"Position: Grandmaster of Magical Martial Arts"

"Abilities: Taibao Wujing, Ma's Five-whip"

"Hint: As a descendant of the 'Master of Magic and Martial Arts' Ma Taibao, his entire family was brutally murdered because of the crime of possessing a treasure. He had no choice but to flee to this remote town with his only remaining granddaughter, hiding his identity and hoping that his granddaughter could grow up safely."

……

Wow, is it possible that I could encounter such a hidden plot just by finding someone to stay with on the road?

Although he didn't know much about the Demonic Martial Realm, he had learned the name of the Monster Ancestor from the world information. This person was the founder of the Demonic Martial Era.

Logically speaking, his status should be like that of a saint.

How could his descendants fall to this state?

Although this old man named Ma Chongshan should be quite powerful in the Demonic Martial Domain, he is obviously not a top-notch expert. Otherwise, he would not have been killed and his entire family would not have dared to seek revenge, and could only flee with their granddaughter.

After listening to his granddaughter's introduction, Ma Chongshan warmly welcomed Rorschach and little David, the "uncle and nephew", and arranged a cleaned guest room for them.

It is indeed a bit simple, but the room is still very clean.

After inviting Luo Xia and the others to have dinner together, Ma Chongshan smiled and said to his granddaughter: "Xiaoling, take little David out to play for a while, and let little brother Luo Xia chat with an old man like me."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling looked at Luo Xia.

Because she wasn't sure whether Rorschach was willing.

But Rorschach also smiled and said, "Little David, go out for a walk with your sister. You must listen to your sister, okay?"

"Yeah!" Little David nodded.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaoling felt relieved and trotted out with little David. She seemed to like children very much.

After Ma Xiaoling left, Luo Xia looked at Ma Chongshan and asked, "Old man, do you have something to ask me?"

"Who are you?" Ma Chongshan's temperament suddenly changed.

He originally looked like a kind old grandfather next door, but at this moment, there was a hint of murderousness between his eyebrows, just like a Shura!
"Didn't I tell you before? I was robbed and wanted to find a place to stay temporarily... Snap!" Rorschach suddenly raised a hand while speaking.

Because just now, Ma Chongshan had punched him in the face!
Although he knew that this punch was most likely just a test and might not actually hit him, he had no intention of taking a gamble.

Looking at the punch that Rorschach easily blocked, Ma Chongshan couldn't help but sneer: "Even if you are a master of magic and martial arts, it's impossible for you to take my punch so easily. Are you trying to say that a master-level robber robbed you?"

Luo Xia sighed and said, "I just want to find a place to stay first, why do you have to do this... If I really want to kill you, even if you are a magic martial arts master, what can you do to stop me?"

While Luo Xia was speaking, he slowly retracted several fingers of the hand that was holding Ma Chongshan's fist, leaving only the little finger.

Moreover, he used his little finger to slowly push back Ma Chongshan's fist!
During this process, no matter how hard Ma Chongshan tried, even his face turned red, he could not delay the fist from being pushed back to him!
Luo Xia did not stop until he had completely pushed Ma Chongshan's fist back.

On the other hand, Ma Chongshan fell silent after Rorschach stopped, because he suddenly found that what Rorschach said made a lot of sense.

There is no doubt that Rorschach's strength is definitely above his!

Even though the two men hadn't tried their best and hadn't really fought, an expert could tell whether they were strong or not with just one move.

He was sure that he was no match for Rorschach, and that if Rorschach wanted to, there should be many ways for him to defeat or even kill him.

In this case, if Luo Xia was really sent by the mastermind who killed his entire family, he could have directly captured Ma Xiaoling and then dealt with him. There was no need to find such a boring excuse.

"I was rude before, please forgive me." Ma Chongshan, who had figured out the reason, apologized to Luo Xia immediately.

"No problem." Rorschach shook his head.

"I would like to believe that you have no ill will towards us, grandfather and grandson. With your strength, you will be treated as a guest of honor even if you go to the City Lord's Mansion. Why... I'm sorry, it's really hard for me to understand." Ma Chongshan said.

"If I say it's a coincidence, would you believe it?" Rorschach said.

"Huh?" Ma Chongshan looked surprised.

"It's true that I'm new here, and I just happened to meet your granddaughter, so I thought about finding a place to stay first and then see how the situation is." Rorschach spread his hands.

"This……"

Ma Chongshan naturally found this statement a little hard to believe, but he also understood that with Luo Xia's strength, there was really no need for him to lie to him.

This made him feel an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
