Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1124: Chapter 387: The Two Who Refuse to Give Up, the Xiang Family’s Tragedy and the Bashang Population, Yuan Cheng’s Teasing

”Vice Director Xu, was that person just now also a Vice Director?”

”It’s estimated that his strength is around thirty Brushes. This makes him the eighth top expert above thirty Brushes in Great Xia after Xia Chuan, Yuwen Dao, Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Yue Feng, Lin Kai, and Shi Ping. How many more experts does Great Xia have?”

”The key is that this Lord Xu isn’t very old either, his talent is astonishing!”

”There must be more. We heard that very few people have actually been to the Great Xia town, only some core high-ups from the Eight Towns. They definitely know more than we do.”

”Just look at the Eight Towns’ attitude towards Great Xia!”

”That’s right, Great Xia openly trades with our village-level camps, clearly extracting the lifeblood of the Eight Towns. The trade port has been open for more than two months now, and the Eight Towns don’t dare to take any action. Doesn’t that say something?”

”These eight people are surely just the tip of the iceberg for Great Xia’s town. I reckon Great Xia’s strength far exceeds our imagination.”

.........

The basic strength of the Earth-digging Realm, from the initial breakthrough at ten thousand pounds to the Earth-digging Realm limit, excluding some extreme cases, shows that different cultivation progresses in the Earth-digging Realm have a strength span of at most a hundred thousand pounds;

Unlike the Earth-digging Realm, the basic strength of the Cold Resistance Level is measured in Brushes, with one Brush equating to a hundred thousand pounds. Adding the restriction of Battle Body talent, the strength span at this stage is massive.

For instance, one Brush versus fifty Brushes, although both are called Cold Resistance Level, their power difference is like a vast chasm.

Over at the Moao Nine Towns, the Cold Resistance Level is typically divided into three ranks based on strength: over eight Brushes are called adept, over 24 Brushes are called experts, and over 30 Brushes are deemed top experts.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge about War Bodies quickly understands the reasoning behind this classification. Without using substances to boost further, the maximum strength of an ordinary Cold Resistance Level is barely eight Brushes; being able to boost strength over 24 Brushes means one can rival the peak of Cold Resistance Level with a top-grade Battle Body; boosting strength to over 30 Brushes means one can dominate the Cold Resistance Level stage, regardless of War Body talent.

In the Eight Towns, the number of Cold Resistance Levels with a strength over thirty Brushes can practically be counted, with each town averaging out to about a dozen.

Great Xia only sprang into prominence in Moao Mountain this April, and now there are already eight of them. Who knows how many more are in their town?

Hence, the terror on everyone’s face at this moment is understandable.

While everyone discussed, Yuan Cheng and Xu Ning had already walked away with the Cloud Jiao Army soldiers. Yang Ning and Li Hu stood facing each other, their pupils filled with shock and horror.

”It’s him. Although his clothing and demeanor have completely changed, I can confirm that nine years ago, among the six people Xia Hong brought to Rogel Camp, was that burly young man we just saw!”

Li Hu whispered confidently beside Yang Ning.

Yang Ning didn’t reply, but the tumult in his pupils showed that he was even more certain of this conclusion than Li Hu was.

Nine years isn’t exactly a long time.

Moreover, nine years ago, their risk-taking journey across the North Bank of the Heng River to map Redwood Ridge with the help of Chui Mountain Town was memorable, so both of them remembered it well.

If Li Hu could recognize Yuan Cheng, then so could he.

”Over thirty Brushes, how is that possible? How could it be? Nine years ago, Xia Hong himself was only in the Earth-digging Realm, and the six he brought were all just in the Logging Realm. It’s only been nine years...”

Yang Ning was almost dazed at this point. Despite the mental preparation before coming this time, confirming that the famous Great Xia across the Nine Towns now was the small camp they encountered at Redwood Ridge nine years ago shocked him deeply, even made him start doubting himself.
