Chapter 260 Atlantis, the Master's Open Scheme
Pacific Ocean, Bermuda Triangle.
The bloody "World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament" is drawing to a close.
After three days and three nights of relentless and brutal fighting, of the tens of thousands of extraordinary individuals who once filled the sea, less than a hundred remain.
These men were all covered in blood, exuding a murderous aura. They were truly ruthless characters who had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Their eyes held no more superfluous emotions, only a thirst for power and a chilling killing intent toward all other creatures.
This is exactly the result Fang Qingxue wanted.
This is also the "seed" that Lin Fan wanted to see.
Only those who have abandoned all sentimentality and believe only in the most primitive law of the jungle are qualified to become pawns on his chessboard.
High in the sky, Fang Qingxue looked down at the last ninety-odd figures, her clear, cold voice once again resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
"Time's up."
"Congratulations, you survived."
"From this moment forward, you are the first members of the 'Sky Dome Martial Alliance.' You are also the first group of people qualified to enter Atlantis."
On the sea, the survivors did not show any joy on their faces upon hearing these words.
They just numbly raised their heads and looked at Fang Qingxue with their bloodshot eyes.
In their eyes, this woman, who was high above and in charge of this bloody game, was more terrifying than any of the enemies they had killed.
"Now, come with me."
Fang Qingxue ignored their gazes, turned around, and slowly flew towards the magnificent crystal ancient city.
The survivors, enduring their pain and exhaustion, transformed into streaks of light and followed behind her.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the ancient city, which was enveloped in an energy shield.
Everyone stopped and stared warily at the enormous protective barrier.
They had personally witnessed countless powerful individuals turn to ashes in front of this protective barrier.
Fang Qingxue walked to the protective shield and slowly extended her right hand.
Her hand passed effortlessly through the seemingly indestructible energy shield without any hindrance.
She turned to look at the crowd and said calmly, "This protective barrier will only attack those with malicious intentions and impure power. You are the ones who have passed the Master's test; it will not harm you."
After saying that, she walked into the protective barrier.
The survivors looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally, one of them, with gritted teeth, followed Fang Qingxue's example and walked towards the protective barrier.
Sure enough, he passed through the shield without any hindrance.
Seeing this, the others were relieved and followed them inside.
After the last person entered the protective shield.
The magnificent crystal doors slowly opened inward with a creaking sound.
A surge of spiritual energy, hundreds of times more concentrated and extremely pure than that outside, burst forth from the door!
Just by taking a single breath, he felt his injuries healing at an incredible speed, and his depleted physical and mental strength was instantly replenished.
A fierce and greedy light shone in everyone's eyes.
The spiritual energy at the entrance alone has such miraculous effects!
What must the city look like?
The secret to becoming a god!
They seemed to already see the broad road leading to supreme power right before their eyes.
"Go in."
Fang Qingxue's voice pulled them back from their reverie.
"Remember, you only have one month. After one month, whatever you've gained inside, you must come out."
"That's the rule."
After saying that, she ignored everyone else and walked into the bizarre and wonderful crystal city.
The more than ninety survivors could no longer contain their excitement and swarmed in like locusts.
After they had all entered, the crystal door slowly closed again.
The massive energy shield lit up again, completely isolating the entire city from the outside world.
The sea has returned to calm.
It was as if the bloody massacre had never happened.
……
Inside the courtyard house.
Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.
He "looked" at the more than ninety "chess pieces" he had chosen, and entered Atlantis, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
His open scheme succeeded.
The holding of the "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament" not only selected the first batch of usable fighters for his "Sky Dome Martial Alliance", but also announced the arrival of a new order to the world in the most domineering and unquestionable way.
From this day forward, all allocations of extraordinary resources and all disputes in the extraordinary world must be conducted under the rules he establishes.
Atlantis was the first "beginner's village dungeon" he prepared for this game.
Those ninety-odd "players" will obtain the power and opportunities they've always dreamed of within.
But what they didn't know was that everything they gained was already part of Lin Fan's calculations. Every step they took was simply adding bricks to Lin Fan's "Earth Project".
They believed themselves to be chosen ones, to be the future gods.
In reality, they were just pawns.
Lin Fan withdrew his divine sense from the Atlantic Ocean and turned it towards the Qinling Mountains in China.
There, He Yuzhu had already found his goal for this trip.
It was a piece of chalcedony the size of a human head, warm and smooth like jade, emitting a strange fragrance.
This chalcedony is no ordinary object, but rather the core of the Qinling dragon vein. During the spiritual revival, it absorbed endless dragon vein energy and the essence of plants and trees, giving birth to a primordial spiritual treasure.
Its name is "Xirangfu".
It looks like a piece of jade on the outside, but inside it is a self-contained space that can contain mountains and seas. Using it to cook spiritual ingredients can preserve the spiritual energy of the ingredients to the maximum extent and transform it into "food energy" that is most easily absorbed by the human body.
This is the true tool of a "master chef".
At this moment, He Yuzhu was sitting cross-legged in front of the "Breath of Earth Cauldron," attempting to refine it according to the method taught by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan could sense that He Yuzhu had already begun to grasp the essence of the "Way of Food." Although the incident in Shennongjia where he knocked down a Grandmaster of Internal Energy with a kitchen knife seemed somewhat comical, it contained the true meaning of the "Way of Food."
That is, to regard everything as "ingredients".
Use the most suitable "heat" and "knife skills" to process them.
This path, seemingly peaceful, is in fact extremely domineering.
"Not bad."
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.
His gaze then turned to the Kunlun Mountains.
Zhang Sanfeng's "Kunlun Taoist Academy" was already taking shape. In the valley where he had restored the balance of Yin and Yang, he opened up a cave dwelling and set up a Taoist practice center. Countless cultivators were kneeling outside the valley, bowing every three steps, wanting to become his disciples.
Zhang Sanfeng did not immediately open his doors to disciples.
He is following Lin Fan's instructions to establish the strictest rules for Kunlun Academy.
The Daoist teachings are not passed on to those who are not destined for them, nor to those who lack virtue.
For Kunlun Taoist Academy to become the orthodox Taoist school in the world, its disciples must be of the highest caliber in terms of temperament, aptitude, and comprehension.
Better to have none than something of poor quality.
Finally, Lin Fan's gaze fell on Ares and Aiolia.
These two belligerent men did not stop after carrying out their "first trial" in New York.
Like two tireless hunters, they hunt down powerful superhumans across the globe who are arrogant, abuse their power, and disrupt order.
In just a few days.
A Japanese Onmyoji family that attempted to control the cabinet using shikigami (spirits) was wiped off the map along with their shrine by Aiolia's "Lightning Speed Fist".
A tribal chief in Africa who called himself the "King of Voodoo" and practiced evil magic by sacrificing living people was nailed to his altar by Ares with a spear.
A Brazilian druid who could manipulate plants and wanted to turn the entire Amazon rainforest into his "divine kingdom" was utterly destroyed by the combined forces of two people.
The infamous reputation of the "Divine Guards" has resounded throughout the dark world of the globe.
Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed.
But the world order was also restored to "peace" in a bizarre way under their iron-fisted methods.
No one dared to cause such open destruction again.
Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly and in the direction Lin Fan had envisioned.
His "Earth Project" is progressing steadily.
However, just when Lin Fan thought he could finally get a good night's sleep again...
His brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
His global divine sense detected a discordant "noise".
This "noise" does not originate from Earth.
It comes from... outer space.
Lin Fan's gaze seemed to pierce through the atmosphere and the endless sea of stars, finally locking onto the far side of the moon.
There, in a vast, dark shadow.
A pair of enormous, scarlet eyes slowly opened.
