Chapter 912: Book of Wisdom

Looking at the two Gold Warriors’ greedy gazes, Jessica’s heart sank. She knew what this meant.

There were 13 armies of different colors on Earth, representing 13 different types of powers.

As long as a person put on the ring, they would be able to activate the energy in the ring and perform all kinds of unbelievable abilities. The most common ability was the ability to materialize things.

Additionally, in order to put on the ring, one needed to have the right to do so. The right was dependent on the person’s nature. It was only when the nature of the ring and the person matched that they would then be able to put on the ring and activate the energy within it.

As for how much energy one could use, it would be dependent on the individual’s will. The people who could activate the strongest powers were the commanders of the various armies.

The Gold Army that Jessica was facing had gold rings which represented their nature—the thirst for knowledge. They wanted to know about everything and make sense of everything. Additionally, they were in pursuit of the universal truth.

Jessica had something which attracted them greatly. In order to satisfy these two gold warriors, Jessica knew that she could only bring out that item.

However, she still held on to the tiniest hope that they did not know of that thing’s existence.

Therefore, she grit her teeth and said, “I already have nothing else. My clan has frozen all of my assets, but I can keep things on tab first. As long as I pass the White Army’s test and become a White Warrior, I’ll be able to get back everything I’ve lost. When that time comes, I’ll give the two of you satisfactory rewards.”

“Assets?” The Gold Warrior licked his lips, and the greed in his eyes became increasingly intense. “Those aren’t what we want. We want knowledge—the knowledge that’s hidden on you!”

“Handover that page from the Book of Wisdom!” The other Gold Warrior grinned evilly. “Then we’ll let you off.”

Jessica’s countenance sank. She knew that the thing she had been most worried about had just happened.

The color of gold represented the thirst for knowledge, and it let the Gold Warriors wish to possess all knowledge. In the Gold Army, with the Commander in the lead, everyone had an insatiable thirst toward knowledge. Rather than fighting for fame and gains, they would spend more time in their laboratories, continuing to probe the universe’s mysteries.

Jessica knew long ago that except for a page from the Book of Wisdom, there was nothing else she had on her which could lure these people out from the laboratories they hardly stepped out from.

The Book of Wisdom had been discovered in a cave on the back of the moon back in 2008. There was a total of 2,333 pages, and they recorded knowledge which far surpassed that of this generation.

It was a pity that in a bid to seize the Book of Wisdom, the 13 armies had engaged in a great war and the 2,333 pages of the Book of Wisdom were then scattered around the world. Each lucky person who managed to get their hands on a page of it would either be beaten to death or become an expert that could dominate the world.

Jessica had come across one of the pages by chance and thought that this was her destiny. However, she had not expected to fail the tests for 12 armies in succession, and she did not even earn the right to put on the rings.

Jessica said, “What Book of Wisdom? I don’t have that kind of thing…”

Before she finished her words, one of the Gold Warrior waved his palm, and a golden light blade swung out next to his palm, sweeping out like a golden laser beam. It instantly chopped the five men and women, who were beside Jessica, in half at their waists.

Blood splattered out and landed on the white snow. There was even seething hot air.

At the sight of this scene, the remaining over ten men and women let out furious bellows. Each of them drew out the automatic rifles they had on them, wanting to shoot the two Gold Warriors.

Unfortunately, although metallic sparks lit up on their bodies, the bullets could not break through the faint golden light on the bodies of the two Gold Warriors. The bullets could not make the two of them take even a single step back.

“Ignorant.” One of the Gold Warriors let out a smirk and lifted his hand. Then as his blade swung out, another five men and women were chopped off at the waist. They fell to the ground, crying out agonizingly while their internal organs splattered all over.

“Stop it!” Jessica shouted furiously, “Everyone, stop fighting!”

Feeling terrified, the men and women who were shooting came to a stop. They looked at the two Gold Warriors with pale countenances. It was as if they were only remembering now just how terrifying these monsters were.

The Gold Warrior, who was the leader of the two, flicked his finger and said, “Had enough? Hand over the Book of Wisdom. There’s a limit to my patience.”

Jessica said with a grim countenance, “Shouldn’t you at least tell me who you are?”

“Haha, thinking of seeking revenge? You’re welcome anytime,” the Caucasian man said. “I’m Claude from the Beira Clan, a Colonel in the Gold Army. Before you seek revenge, you better think through it carefully. This time around, I’m the one seizing something that belongs to you. I’m bullying the weak, so I’m choosing to spare your life. However, if you wish to seek revenge next time, I won’t hold back.”

Jessica sneered like she was ridiculing him for being a hypocrite. However, she sighed inwardly, ‘That Claude from the Beira Clan whose reputation has soared recently? Their clan really has their eyes on me.’

Just then, a cold voice rang out, “Long-winded.”

Before the people present could react, a figure came down from the skies and stomped on Claude’s head directly. Under the pressure of the violent powers, Claude’s head exploded like a tomato.

However, the violent power did not stop there. It continued to flow down through Claude’s spine, chest, and internal organs. Wherever it passed by, Claude’s body would turn into paste. This continued until at the very end, where there was only a pool of blood and flesh scattered on the ground. Claude’s original appearance was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. An unfamiliar guy had stomped Claude—a Colonel—into paste.

Claude had been an existence that could deal with a modern world’s special forces and countless firearms single-handedly, as well as fly at the speed of sound. To think that he was stomped to death just like that…

At the next moment, everyone looked at that black-robed man who had suddenly appeared. They were all in a daze. That man’s eyes were like deep and bottomless black holes, wanting to suck everyone’s soul in.

The other warrior from the Gold Army retreated for over 100 meters with a swoosh and said in great fury, “Who are you? Do you know who it is you’ve killed? Everyone here will have to die together with you today. They’ll all die because of you.”

The people who were still a little stunned previously also came back to their senses, and Jessica’s countenance turned gloomy.

If it was said that before this, she would have lost just one page of the Book of Wisdom… Then right now, in addition to losing this page of the Book of Wisdom, she would have to face the crazy revenge from the Beira Clan. They were a massive clan who had received the Gold Army’s legacy for five generations, and there were even Generals amongst them.

Their powers far surpassed Jessica’s imagination, and she was unable to bring up any will to resist.

Faced with the threat from the remaining Gold Warrior, Fang Xingjian could not be bothered replying to him. He reached out across space, clenching this remaining warrior into a lump of blood and flesh that was then scattered into the air.

At the sight of this scene, Jessica’s expression twitched again, and she looked toward Fang Xingjian while smiling bitterly. “Why are you so impulsive?

“Do you know that you’ve gotten into big trouble?”
