Uncle Hao once again controlled the chains, causing the Lion-Hybrid Beast to halt abruptly, which made the Chariot jolt violently. Fortunately, with Uncle Hao's prior warning, everyone used their Origin Force to firmly secure themselves in their seats, moving with the Chariot's swaying without losing balance.
After a moment, the Lion-Hybrid Beast finally came to a complete stop, and the Chariot ceased its shaking. At this point, Uncle Hao turned around and pointed to a large door near Thunderstrike Mountain, addressing everyone in the Chariot: "Do you see that? There is a huge door over there; that is the only entrance to Thunderstrike Hall. Registration is also done there. I wish you all success."
The people in the Chariot got off and simultaneously thanked Uncle Hao: "Thank you for your kind help, Uncle Hao. We also wish you great success in your business."
Uncle Hao laughed heartily: "Hahaha... Good, good! Everyone is well. You all go ahead; I will continue to wander around Thunderstrike City." With a sudden flick of the chains, both Lion-Hybrid Beasts swiftly took Uncle Hao away around the corner.
After shouting "Goodbye" to Uncle Hao's departing figure, they all headed toward the large door. Huo Feng followed closely beside Yan'er and her companions, blending into the crowd as they walked toward it.
As they approached the entrance, Huo Feng felt extremely puzzled. Logically, this should be an important place; why was there no one guarding it? Moreover, entering this passage gave a deep and mysterious feeling. Where exactly did it lead?
Everyone paused in confusion; it seemed they shared Huo Feng's feelings and speculations, hesitating as they looked at each other.
At that moment, Ling suddenly spoke to Huo Feng and the others: "Ruo Feng Brother, have you noticed? This place feels very strange."
Huo Feng nodded but sensed several powerful presences not far inside, above the Earth Vein Realm. Just as he was about to say something, a richly dressed young man approached from a distance. With a handsome face and sharp features, he had flowing blue hair styled back and walked with a confident grace. As he entered the crowd, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
This person looked at them as if they had never seen him before, which filled him with a sense of satisfaction. He cleared his throat dramatically and said: "Ahem! Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself; my name is Ruan Yiqing, son of General Ruan Fengyuan of Thunderstrike City’s Sky Knights. You are here for the Cavalry Selection, right? Why are you standing at the entrance?"
One person from the crowd stepped forward and said: "Hello! Why does this place feel so strange? It should be a heavily guarded area; why is there not a single guard? And it feels very deep inside."
"You are mistaken if you think there are no guards here. They are all wearing a special kind of armor that makes it impossible for those of lower rank to sense their power. They are just a short distance ahead in the corridor. And don't let the deep passage scare you; entering here reveals a whole new scene, and you'll understand once you go in. Come on, I'll take you inside." The one called Ruan Yiqing was the first to walk in.
The others hesitated a bit, while Ling Zhi and his brother looked at Huo Feng, as if they had an inexplicable trust in him. At this moment, Ling Zhi quietly asked, "Brother Ruo Feng, what do you think?"
"It should be fine. Let's follow and take a look. Even if he is deceiving us, Uncle Hao wouldn't," Huo Feng replied.
After hearing Huo Feng's words, the Ling Zhi brothers gathered their courage and moved forward. Yan'er silently followed, with Huo Feng closely behind. With someone leading the way, everyone else also found their courage, and more than twenty people followed along.
Under Ruan Yiqing's guidance, they quickly advanced about four or five meters when they encountered a stone wall blocking their path. Ruan Yiqing suddenly stopped and waved his hand back to the group, causing Huo Feng and the others to halt.
At this moment, Ruan Yiqing addressed the stone wall ahead: "Several brothers, I am Yiqing. These people behind me are here to register for the Cavalry Selection. Please open the passage."
After a moment, the stone door slowly began to rise, revealing a strong light from within. Instantly, everyone except Huo Feng and Yan'er looked nervously at the stone door.
After a brief pause, the stone door finally came to a complete stop, and several individuals clad in silver armor emerged from within. They all bowed to Ruan Yiqing and said in unison, "Young Master Yiqing!"
Then one of them stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yiqing, what brings you here today? It's rare for you to personally bring these registrants."
"Let's walk while we talk," Ruan Yiqing replied as he led the way inside. "I suspect that many of those who should be arriving soon are about to show up as well, so I came to take a look and meet some talented young people from various places. Also... I want to participate in this Cavalry Selection myself and climb up step by step."
Seeing Ruan Yiqing moving forward, the armored warriors followed suit, and Huo Feng's group also decided to follow along. However, upon hearing Ruan Yiqing's words, the one who had spoken earlier said, "Young Master Yiqing, this might not be appropriate. I believe the Wind Elemental General is unaware of this; otherwise, he would never agree."
"If any of you dare tell my father, just wait for your positions to be revoked. This time none of you can stop me," Ruan Yiqing suddenly became serious, glaring at them as he continued, "Remember, if my father finds out about this, none of you will have good outcomes."
"Yes, yes, yes." A few people answered cautiously.
Soon, everyone walked inside and was immediately stunned by the sight before them. Even the usually calm Huo Feng was completely taken aback. It appeared to be a vast underground world, almost like a realm of its own. Numerous buildings surrounded them, and in the center were countless large Training Arenas, where people were practicing and sparring on each stage. Below the stages, many spectators were gathered, all above the Earth Vein Realm.
Above, at a height of five to six meters, there was a second level. Although the area of the second level was only half that of the first, it still felt quite spacious. Even more astonishing were the countless twinkling lights on the ceiling, resembling stars, illuminating the entire underground world. It truly felt like another world.
At this moment, Ruan Yiqing turned around and said, "Isn't it impressive? This is the interior of Thunderstrike Mountain. The entire interior has been hollowed out; it's quite large. If all the people from Thunderstrike City lived here, it wouldn't feel crowded at all. You'll understand once you spend more time here. Also, to get to Thunderstrike Hall, you can only go up from here."
The Silver Armored Warrior added, "That's right. When I first arrived, I felt the same way as you do now. And this place is much larger than what you see here. Once you get familiar with it, you'll discover even more areas. Everything you could need is here, which is why it's commonly referred to as Underground Soldier City."
