Dark Moon Era - Chapter 359

Chapter 359: Dream Again

The battle in Iron-Blooded City was too far away from Tang Ling now.

Had he been there, he would have been able to recognize something familiar from Iron-Blooded City’s battle tactics.

The Hope Barrier almost copied everything from Iron-Blooded City!

The only thing the Hope Barrier failed to copy was the quality of the equipment. The Hope Barrier was a complete bootleg version, and even being so, it failed to assure that every single one of its warriors received the resources.

The limited amount of resources would only be provided to Purple Moon Warriors, but from the details, one could see that the way of war in the Purple Moon era had completely changed.

Even if super-advanced large-scale tactical firearms were still around, mankind had huge limitations when it came to using these weapons.

The standard unit of all war started with man, and man was the only viable option in this era. However, the scale of war was by no means weaker than the war of the old civilization.

In the old civilization, other than nuclear weapons, there were no other weapons stronger than the power of Mother Nature. Even nuclear weapons might not have an advantage against the power of Mother Nature.

However, the Purple Moon Warriors of the current era were people with outstanding talents who were able to utilize the power of nature.

Unfortunately, Tang Ling did not get the chance to witness the battle that would start a new page in the history in Iron-Blooded City because he had just opened his eyes.

As his consciousness cleared up from the blurriness, he heard Boss Huang, Han Xing, Ding Ling, and Ding Dong discussing something in front of him.

Tang Ling knew that he had been out cold for seven days and that in the past seven days, all the young geniuses were stuck on the sixth level of the Hell Ledge Challenge, but things seemed to have headed towards a new turning point.

Some young geniuses impatiently used their trump cards and got through the sixth level.

“Trump card?”

Han Xing helped Tang Ling up to sit down on the bed. He had been sleeping on the bed for a week, so his body somehow felt stiff and weak. He would need at least half a day to adapt to his current condition before he could get off the bed and move freely.

After a rough calculation, he would also need at least three days to recover to his peak performance.

“Yeah, trump cards. Some impatient fellas used them. It’s only just day six. Why can’t they be more patient, improve themselves, and try again? I guess those who impatiently used their trump cards are eager to be famous.” Han Xing crossed his hands as he talked endlessly beside Tang Ling’s bed.

As a matter of fact, he also got stuck at the sixth level and was frustrated because of that, but he would never use his trump card just because of the little obstacle.

In the past few days, all the young geniuses shared a common agreement of not mentioning Tang Ling or Tang Long at all. Both their strongest forms left a heavy impression on all the young geniuses.

Trump card-wise, Tang Ling and Tang Long were a lot more powerful than them.

Aside from surpassing the two of them, in order to stand on the same level as Tang Ling and Tang Long in this era, the young geniuses would have to improve themselves, would they not? That was the reason why these proud young geniuses were stuck at the sixth level. It was because they wanted to clear the level with their own strength.

However, after almost a week, some of them failed to resist the temptation of the explicit rewards, hence they used their trump card.

Tang Ling’s reaction at the news was not as melodramatic as Han Xing’s.

Perhaps one’s talent might determine one’s basis for power, but one’s attitude determined how far one could go. Even among the geniuses, there would be people at the bottom and those people were usually those who used their trump cards.

Nevertheless, Tang Ling was not overly concerned about the Hell Ledge Challenge. Even if he had been out cold for seven days and was last in the ranking, he did not really care.

“Is Tang Ling awake?” It was then that Ro Xin’s slightly excited voice came from outside the room.

As expected of the busybody Boss Huang, he had contacted Ro Xin and Ro Li the moment Tang Ling woke up.

“Yeah, he’s awake. I made some fish porridge for him.” Ding Ling’s voice rang out. She then claimed that she had chores to do and asked Ro Xin to help her deliver the porridge.

Han Xing did not buy Ding Ling’s excuse. He looked at Tang Ling and said, “I bet that little ball isn’t busy at all. She’s just trying to sneak off somewhere.” He finally earned the right to eat meals at the table while Tang Ling was unconscious, but he did not miss the bullying from Ding Ling and Ding Dong at all, hence he condemned them strongly.

Tang Ling remained blur, but he did not care about Ding Ling sneaking off or whatnot. The anxiety and sorrow at the bottom of his heart were gone which meant that the copper-faced man who had beaten him up did not lie to him.

But even if Higan is fine now, where is she now? What happened to her? Why am I having such a strong feeling about her?

Tang Ling was carried away by his thoughts. He wanted to question Tang Long again, but he knew he would return fruitless.

Tang Long hated him more than anything and would never tell Tang Ling where Higan was or anything about her.

What if he fought Tang Long again?

It was an unrealistic move.

The copper-faced man’s warning was ringing in his ears. If he and Tang Long fought again because of Higan, the copper-faced man would intervene again.

Who was the copper-faced man? Why would he care so much?

“Tang Ling, how are you feeling?” Ro Xin’s slightly excited and worried voice echoed in his ears.

Tang Ling turned around and realized that after almost a week, Ro Xin looked a little worn out while her eyes were slightly swollen and reddish.

“I’m fine. I’m feeling better than ever.” Tang Ling smiled at her as he could tell she was truly worried about him.

Jealousy rose in Han Xing’s heart.

For the past few days, Ro Xin had been traveling back and forth to Dvesha Moha. She would stay for an hour or two to help rub Tang Ling’s body. Although she was just cleaning his limbs and face and massaged him to ease the acupuncture points, Han Xing’s jealousy skyrocketed.

Even an idiot knew that Ro Xin had different feelings for Tang Ling, but…Lord Han Xing liked Ro Xin too, and it was love at first sight!

Therefore, right after Tang Ling said he was fine, Han Xing cut in, “You weak as*, you should have been fine a while ago! Do you know how much cell regeneration serum you used and how much of those…those…what are they called?”

“Huh?” Tang Ling raised a confused brow. He knew how heavily injured he was and that the cell regeneration serum must be used for such a speedy recovery.

His guess was that the cell regeneration serum used was not the highest quality, hence it had taken him almost a week to get up. Usually, cell regeneration serum showed immediate effect.

However, it was understandable because of how stingy Boss Huang was, but after Han Xing’s revelation…had he used the best kind to recover?

Ro Xin cooled the spoon of fish porridge with her breath and tenderly delivered it to Tang Ling’s mouth as she said, “You used the best regeneration serum because it was needed for a special prescription to further strengthen your body. As a matter of fact, your injuries…”

Before she could finish, Ro Li, who also came in with his sister, was annoyed.

Why must my sister feed this little bastard? He doesn’t like my sis but that Higan…

Ro Li was not happy about his sister giving herself to Tang Ling so generously. With that in mind, he snatched the bowl of fish porridge from Ro Xin and insisted, “I’ll feed him!”

Before Tang Ling could reach him, Ro Li shoved the spoon into his mouth. Then, before he could swallow, the second spoon was shoved in without any cooling. The warm porridge was shoved into Tang Ling’s throat forcefully.

Tang Ling failed to respond in the first few seconds, but after that, he caught up to Ro Li’s pace.

What’s this? A joke? Who am I? I’m the Harsheen boar of eaters! A few mouthfuls of porridge won’t beat me down! If you feed me, I’ll eat! And I don’t even have to move my hands!

Ro Li got fed up with Tang Ling’s despicable way of eating, but because Ro Xin was around, he had to man up and continue feeding him. A bearded man feeding another guy porridge was not a pleasing scene to watch, except to Han Xing who liked the scene a lot.

Tang Ling did not care about who was feeding him, so he signaled Ro Xin to continue with his eyes.

Ro Xin found it funny as she continued explaining to Tang Ling, “Truth be told, your injuries should have healed with a vial of the best cell regeneration serum and it wouldn’t have taken long either, but then Boss Huang came in and said you must be broken in order to soar higher. He said your getting hurt was a chance, with which your body will be able to reach the perfect state that one can reach before breaking through into a Purple Moon Warrior.”

“Hold on a second!” Tang Ling stopped Ro Li from feeding him. He asked with a confused look, “Ro Xin, are you sure Boss Huang said something like that?”

“I’m sure he said all that himself.”

Tang Ling frowned. Something was not right. Why was Boss Huang being so generous? Was it because he had helped Boss Huang win a lot of money in the Hell Ledge Challenge? It should not be because he had only cleared two levels on the first day.

Ro Xin did not know what was going through Tang Ling’s mind, so she continued, “That’s why a large amount of cell regeneration serum was used to match your body’s reconstruction. Boss Huang said that special prescription is very useful and he said you’d achieve the perfect state once you wake up.”

Is that so? Tang Ling swallowed a couple more mouths of porridge. He had a feeling that his weakened body started to recover some strength, and after being awake for half a day, his hands and feet were no longer stiff.

He could test out what was the so-called perfect body state later. Tang Ling tried his best to feel his body. Even when lying on the bed, he sensed something different about his body.

However, was Boss Huang this generous? Tang Ling was still doubtful about him.

He had been unconscious for almost a week and knew nothing about the outside world, but he had a feeling that there was someone out there who would appear from time to time to protect him. He even felt a sense of warmth from the protection.

Was it really not his own illusion?

With heavy doubts in his heart, he decided to go talk to Boss Huang later and see if he could get some clues from the old fox, but then both Tang Ling and Han Xing were stunned for a moment.

The two of them looked at each other with a serious face.

Both of them were Dream Seeds, and now, both of them sensed the same thing at the same time. The mark of the Dream Seed on their arms were starting to heat up.

It was almost time for them to enter the dream again!
