Chapter 261 - 221: White Bone Array, 8 vs. 3000
====
Name: Never-ending Strong Alcohol +5
Description: This Wine Gourd is for your exclusive use. Whenever you wish to drink, it will be filled with strong alcohol. No matter how much you can drink, you can never finish it.
Functions: [Void Brewing], [Mortal Strong Wine].
Note: The Strong Alcohol Gourd can brew [Mortal Strong Wine] with an alcohol concentration of 50%.
Enhance +1: Enhances the quality of Mortal Strong Wine, making it stronger, more mellow, and better tasting!
Enhance +2: Enhances the quality of Mortal Strong Wine. It won’t harm your body or give you a hangover!
Enhance +3: Gain a domineering aura effect. When activated, drinking the strong alcohol causes it to vaporize, creating a tangible, domineering aura equivalent to a wind source that blows in all directions. Also sobers you up!
Enhance +4: Gain a body-on-fire effect. When activated, drinking the strong alcohol causes it to combust, making your whole body appear to be on fire. This acts as a fire source and can create spatial ripples, but it has no practical effect. Also sobers you up!
Enhance +5: Gain a wine-pouring effect. When you pour the wine yourself, it will never run out.
Note: Drunkenness leads to mistakes. Drink in moderation.

Wang Yi discovered that the "Never-ending Strong Alcohol" was bound directly to him!
’Drinking makes wind, drinking makes fire... so flashy. Purely special effects with no practical use. I would’ve preferred something like drinking to gain experience!’
Wang Yi muttered to himself and uncorked the gourd. He squinted one eye and peered inside but couldn’t see anything in the darkness. He tilted the gourd back and took a small sip. It felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of fire. Hot air seemed to vent from his ears, and the fiery sensation shot straight to the top of his head.
’This really is strong alcohol!’
Wang Yi muttered. He didn’t have much use for strong alcohol and felt it was just a novelty item he’d acquired. He figured he might use it occasionally in the future, like sharing a drink with Hu Miaosuan, Hai Pei, and the others.
Putting away the Strong Alcohol Gourd, Wang Yi opened another Gold Blind Box. This time, four options appeared.
====
One: Great Spirit Calculator (Gold, Enhance +1)
Two: Flaming Sword (Purple, Enhance +2)
Three: Lord Experience Book (Purple, Enhance +3)
Four: Master-level Witch Doctor’s Reclassification Certificate (Purple, Enhance +4)
====
’I’ll choose the Witch Doctor Certificate!’
Wang Yi made his choice quickly. After being enhanced, the item he received was the [Celestial God-level Witch Doctor’s Reclassification Certificate].
[Celestial God-level Witch Doctor’s Reclassification Certificate: Special Item. Requires 24,000 Chaos Energy to unseal. Can only be used by Adventurer Players, Indigenous People, or incubated units. Upon use, the user can reclassify as a Heavenly God-level Wizard, gaining the three skills: Scouting Divine Eye, Static Divine Talisman, and Divine Healing Totem...]
’This is pretty good, too. It should be a powerful support class for the battlefield. I’ll save it to train a subordinate later!’
Wang Yi looked around. Figures had appeared on the other side of the arena battlefield, but they were too far away to see clearly, and the battle hadn’t started yet. He decided to open a Red Light Blind Box.
This was no ordinary Red Light Blind Box. It was a special version for the Bone Battlefield and could only yield items related to it.
====
DING! The One Box, Many Openings talent has been activated. The current Chaos Blind Box opening will now calculate 9 results for you.
DING! The Box Opening Enhancement talent has been activated, enhancing the items.
One: Construction Drawings for Skeleton King Mountain (Red Light, Enhance +1)
Two: Construction Drawings for Bone Dragon Factory (Gold, Enhance +2)
Three: Construction Drawings for White Bone Holy Mountain (Red Light, Enhance +3)
Four: Construction Drawings for Wraith Bone Transformation Pool (Gold, Enhance +4)
Five: Skeleton Throne (Gold, Enhance +5)
Six: Construction Drawings for Bone Demon Training Camp (Gold, Enhance +6)
Seven: Construction Drawings for Wraith Bone Camp (Gold, Enhance +7)
Eight: White Bone Asura Sword (Gold, Enhance +8)
Nine: Construction drawings for White Bone Mountain (Gold, Enhance +9)
====
’Two Red Light and seven Gold!’
Wang Yi’s spirits lifted.
’Skeleton King Mountain... just from the name, I can tell it’s a high-level building!’
’White Bone Holy Mountain must be just as good!’
’The Bone Dragon Factory is most likely a barracks!’
’The Wraith Bone Transformation Pool seems pretty good, too.’
’The Skeleton Throne should be another great item.’
’Bone Demon Training Camp, Wraith Bone Camp, White Bone Asura Sword... they’re all good!’
’So, the question is, what should I choose? The Red Light +3 White Bone Holy Mountain, or the Gold +9 White Bone Mountain?’
’When in doubt, ask the military advisor!’
Wang Yi waved Hu Miaosuan over and asked, "Military Advisor, do you know of the White Bone Mountain and the White Bone Holy Mountain?"
Hu Miaosuan nodded. "I know a little. The White Bone Mountain is gloomy and mysterious. Rumor has it that’s a place where White Bone Spirits can be born. It’s shrouded in mist that sunlight cannot penetrate, making it a frightening sight. The White Bone Holy Mountain, on the other hand, is a case of extreme yin turning to yang. The great sun shines down upon it, auspicious clouds drift by, and it’s said that the White Bone Spirits there have cultivated into Saints, known as White Bone Great Saints. Hence, it is called the Holy Mountain."
’It sounds like the White Bone Holy Mountain is better, then! So, how does an Enhance +3 White Bone Holy Mountain compare to an Enhance +9 White Bone Mountain?’
"Enhance? What does that mean?" Hu Miaosuan stroked his beard. "This old man knows nothing about enhancing this or that, but even a hundred White Bone Mountains cannot compare to a single White Bone Holy Mountain!"
"Mm, I understand. Thank you for clearing that up, Military Advisor!"
Wang Yi was inclined to agree with Hu Miaosuan’s assessment this time, but he still decided to trust his own method. He responded to the system, choosing the Enhance +9 [Construction Drawings for White Bone Mountain].
"DING! Your bound item [Construction Drawings for White Bone Mountain] has mutated during the enhancement process, becoming [Construction Drawings for the White Bone Array]!"
====
Name: Construction Drawings for the White Bone Array
Status: Bound, Untradeable
Description: Upon use, constructs nine White Bone Mountains in your territory. The nine mountains form a ring, creating a White Bone Array that will slowly summon bones in the central area.
Original White Bone Mountain Functions: [Gloomy and Mysterious], [Bone Purification], [Bone-Birth Acceleration], [Bone Soldiers], [White Bone Spirit]
White Bone Array Ability: Summon Bones
Note 1: The White Bone Mountain is a special-stage building, similar to a barracks. It naturally gives birth to Cannon Fodder Level Bone Soldiers. These Bone Soldiers can grow naturally within the White Bone Mountain, promoting to Ordinary Bone Soldiers, Potential Bone Soldiers, Elite White Bone Spirits, and the King of White Bone Spirits. They cannot be strengthened by other means.
Note 2: Due to the White Bone Mountain’s mutation, all original abilities have been canceled.
Note 3: The White Bone Array continuously summons human bones. The quality of the bones, from lowest to highest, is: Inferior Bone, Mortal Bone, Potential Bone, Hero Bone, King Bone, Saint Bone, and Venerable Bone. The higher the quality, the lower the chance of them appearing.
Note 4: The bones summoned by the White Bone Array will slowly develop spirituality. The most exceptional among them may even be able to reverse life and death. Please explore the specifics for yourself!
====
’Huh, this feels a bit unusual. Reverse life and death? Are we heading into the mystic genre now?’
Wang Yi had a faint feeling that the [White Bone Array] was something extraordinary. However, he’d probably have to wait until his territory expanded before he could construct this building.
Although he could construct buildings in his underground territories, Wang Yi wanted to develop the two of them into the [Battle Sacred Land] and the [Wukong Dojo]. Their entrance was inside the Water Curtain Cave, and that was his personal Cultivation Territory. He really didn’t want to build things like the Burial Ground, Soul Altar, or White Bone Array in there.
After clearing away the items in front of him, Wang Yi had finally finished inventorying his recent gains. He waited another two minutes, and then the arena tournament finally began.
Unexpectedly, three thousand Armor-Breaking Swordsmen were moved onto the battlefield!
Appearing on the opposite side of the war arena were none other than Liang Xiaoyu, Tong Yuanhai, and their group.
What was the Fourth Station for Wang Yi was the Fifth Station for them!
At that moment, Liang Xiaoyu stared at the battlefield below and said, "It seems the Player on the other side is Sun Wukong. To think he could also enter the Corridor of Chaos."
Tong Yuanhai said, "See, I told you so. How could Sun Wukong not participate in the Corridor of Chaos? It turns out he had an item to open a portal, too!"
"But this Sun Wukong actually sent out only eight soldiers. Heh, eight soldiers against our three thousand Sword Armor troops. He’s bound to lose!"
Tong Yuanhai nodded. "Three thousand Sword Armor troops can hold off an army of one hundred thousand. Even if King Pingxi himself, the ’number one under heaven,’ were to enter the fray, I’m afraid he’d be killed instantly!"
King Pingxi, who had been silent as a puppet, shot Tong Yuanhai a cold glance and unexpectedly spoke. "I am not the number one under heaven. My Realm is merely that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. I can hold my own among Mortals, but I cannot fight hidden Cultivators, nor can I defeat experts with the Barbarian Witch Bloodline!"
Liang Xiaoyu smiled. "Uncle-Grandmaster, you’re being too modest. Your Martial Arts have reached the Realm of Rejuvenation and Celestial Immortal, no worse than a Cultivator’s. The Armor-Breaking Swordsmen you’ve trained are practically comparable to hero-tier Soldier Types. Killing those eight soldiers shouldn’t be difficult!"
While these few people were talking, the battle on the field below had already begun.
On Martial Saint Feng Yuxiu’s side, the eight men stood in a line. The Yellow Springs Locks behind them all opened, and all sorts of weapons flew into the air, dancing about. They moved as one, shoulder to shoulder, their fists, feet, grappling techniques, and weapons creating a dazzling display. Like a tornado, they tore through the ranks, and any Armor-Breaking Swordsmen who got close were immediately torn limb from limb.
"Huh?"
Li Ben’s pupils shrank abruptly.
It takes an expert to know one. In a deep voice, he said, "Grandmasters... they are all Grandmasters. No, they’re even stronger than Grandmasters. This is Extraordinary to Saint! I’m afraid any single one of them is stronger than I am. How is this possible? How...?"
The number one expert of the Golden Sparrow Country couldn’t help but stumble back three steps. He then coughed up a mouthful of blood, seeming to age several years in an instant.
"King Pingxi!" Tong Yuanhai exclaimed. "What’s wrong? Did your Dao Heart shatter? It’s not that serious, is it?! It’s not that serious!"
Liang Xiaoyu’s expression darkened. "As expected of the Great Saint. To think he has such super Soldiers. Could they be King Level Soldier Types? Just eight of them... surely they can’t kill all three thousand Sword Armor troops?"
Tong Yuanhai said, "Oh my, I suspect those eight people down there are the Great Saint’s Celestial Soldiers and Generals in disguise!"
"My side is taking a beating, and the Prince seems quite happy about it!"
"Not at all, not at all! We’re on the same side. This war arena is pointless anyway. It’s just for farming Green Blind Boxes. It’s no big deal if we don’t participate!"
Liang Xiaoyu nodded. "Indeed. The rewards are too mediocre. It’s fine if we don’t farm them."
A long silence followed.
The eight Martial Saints used swords, sabers, spears, and hidden weapons in tandem, continuously reaping the lives of the Armor-Breaking Swordsmen. Severed limbs flew everywhere.
However, the three thousand Sword Armor troops were also elites. None retreated, none showed fear. They continuously attacked the eight Martial Saints, like emotionless Death Warriors.
The battle grew increasingly brutal.
In the end, the eight Martial Saints slaughtered all three thousand Sword Armor troops, but they too were covered in blood and wounded.
The battle ended. The eight Martial Saints became the arena masters, and all combatants were restored to full health.
On Liang Xiaoyu and Tong Yuanhai’s side, the three thousand Sword Armor troops were gone, having been sent back.
"A pointless match. Fighting in this arena is a waste of time. Let’s go to the next station!"
Liang Xiaoyu flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.
Tong Yuanhai shook his head with a smile and also led his people away.
On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Yi was shaking Li Longyu by the shoulder.
"Wake up, it’s time to go!"
Wang Yi called her name three times before Li Longyu slowly woke up. She stretched lazily, showing off her fine figure in front of Wang Yi, then rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Is the arena fight over? Did we win?"
"We won!"
"Are we going to keep fighting?"
"We are!"
"Then why did you wake me up? Let me sleep a little longer... I was having a dream just now, and it felt so real. I was in a match, too. My opponent was a Female Demon who knew Alchemy and had a seductive face. I was about to win! If it’s nothing important, let me sleep some more. Maybe I can pick up where I left off and defeat that Female Demon!"
