The Hundred Battles Dynasty had a population of 10 billion and boundless territory.

Outside the capital city of the dynasty, there was a vast grassland. The Five Beast Army camp stood at the center of the grassland.

Within the grassland, there was a basin that was barren and desolate.

Large stone pillars rose from the ground and pierced straight into the clouds, as if they were about to pierce through the heavens.

A handsome youth with a bare upper body was tied under a huge stone pillar.

"Hehe, Luo Zheng, you lowly bitch, you don't know what's good for you! If you give the first martial arts performance to Young Master Xiao Han, won't you be fine? You have to trouble us to get you out of the camp!"

A sinister laugh rang out, followed by a sharp howl from the wind.

Pa!

An iron whip fiercely landed on the handsome youth's body, tearing open a long hole in his skin. Blood gushed out like a spring and flowed onto the stone pillar behind him.

The terrifying wounds and burning pain caused the youth's face to distort.

However, his eyes were filled with unyielding determination.

This youth's name was Luo Zheng.

He had thick black hair, eyes as black as paint, and a handsome face as sharp as a knife, emitting a determined aura. It was impossible to tell that he was only fourteen years old.

"So what if I came from a poor family? Why should I give the Yuan Gathering Pill I desperately obtained to Xiao Han!"

"So what if you descendants of aristocratic families came out with golden spoons? Your strength is only that! Aren't you going to flatter Xiao Han? How much stronger are you than a disciple of a poor family like me?"

Luo Zheng let out a cold laugh, his pair of starry eyes staring at the three people in front of him, the corner of his mouth revealing a faint disdain, "You are just running dogs, bah!"

The three youths standing in front of Luo Zheng were embarrassed and angry, and their faces immediately turned red.

Zhou Qi, who was holding the whip in his hand, was so angry that the corner of his mouth trembled. He was actually mocked by Luo Zheng, whose strength was far inferior to his own and who was from a poor family. He was furious. "You lowly bastard, I'll beat you to death. Let's see if you dare to say it again!"

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Zhou Qi waved his whip and fiercely landed on Luo Zheng's body. Blood scars covered Luo Zheng's body.

"Hmph, a lackey is a lackey, can't you let others talk about it? Zhou Qi, I will remember today's enmity!"

Being whipped over and over again made Luo Zheng's entire body hurt like a knife. He gritted his teeth tightly and his eyes became even more resolute.

"You bitch, do you still want to live?" Zhou Qi stopped the whip in his hand, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He pointed at the ground and said, "Hmph, look at the ground for yourself!"

"Wolf dung!"

Luo Zheng lowered his head and saw that the ground was covered with black feces. He immediately knew that something was wrong and his expression changed greatly.

"That's right, this is the Iron Back Wolf's den. Every night, hundreds or thousands of Iron Back Wolves will arrive here. At that time, you will be gnawed into bones, hahaha!"

Zhou Qi laughed wildly and said with an even more sinister expression, "But don't worry, we won't let you die without a burial ground. Young Master Xiao Han told us to come back tomorrow to collect your corpse and report it to the instructor in the camp. He said that you escaped from the camp, but in the end, you met a pack of wolves and were gnawed to the bones!"

"Aiya, the crime of deserting the army. I heard that this is a great crime of exterminating the entire clan. The crime is the same as bullying a monarch!"

"Luo Zheng, the Five Beast Army is not something a lowly person like you can enter. Since you managed to get in by luck, you must obey us and be our slave. Otherwise, you will only die!"

The other two youths stared at Luo Zheng playfully.

"You shameless bastards, you actually want to frame me and harm my family. I will definitely make you pay back ten times this grudge!"

Staring at the three people in front of him, Luo Zheng's eyes were like blood. He clenched his fists tightly and made a cracking sound. He was extremely furious in his heart, "That damned Xiao Han, not only did he take my credit, he even slandered me as a deserter. In this way, not only will I be unable to save my father, I will also implicate my mother and sister!"

In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, desertion was equivalent to bullying a monarch!

Every deserter, not only must he be punished for a capital crime, but his family must also be affiliated with him. Men must marry and become slaves forever, while women must be demoted to official prostitutes, and their children and grandchildren must not be turned around!

How vicious was this Xiao Han!

"Hehe, ten times? Unfortunately, you won't have a chance in your life. You bitch, accept your fate!"

Zhou Qi licked the corners of his mouth, and his strength increased. He waved his long whip, as sharp as the edge of a knife.

The wounds on Luo Zheng's body became more and more, and he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

"Hmph, let's go, let this bitch die here!" Zhou Qi and the others sneered and left.

Luo Zheng was a trainee soldier of the Five Beast Army of the Dynasty.

The Five Beast Army of the Hundred Battles Dynasty was a gathering place for talented youths!

In the past, only the elite disciples of the rich clans, officials, and marquises were allowed to enter.

A month ago, Luo Zheng broke the rules and, as a disciple of the Han Clan, stood out from the many geniuses of the wealthy clans and entered the Blue Wolf Camp.

Three days ago, the entire army of the Five Beast Army was performing a martial exercise.

The rewards for this martial performance were extremely generous, and those who made contributions could even receive a Primordial Accumulation Pill.

The Essence Accumulation Pill was a high-grade Mortal-ranked pill that was priceless.

During the martial arts drill, Luo Zheng took great risks and made the first contribution. The reward for the Origin Gathering Pill was none other than him.

But because of this, Luo Zheng also attracted the coveted attention of Xiao Han, a noble disciple, and demanded that he give up his first merit.

Xiao Han was an elite soldier from the Blue Wolf Camp. He came from a noble family of the Xiao Clan and his father was General Baizhan Dynasty. He had always been tyrannical in the Blue Wolf Camp. After being rejected by Luo Zheng, he actually sent his trusted aides to secretly capture Luo Zheng and bring him out of the camp and tie him to the stone pillar.

He wanted to kill Luo Zheng and seize the Origin Gathering Pill!

"I can't die, I don't accept my fate …"

At this moment, Luo Zheng, who had fainted, suddenly let out an unwilling murmur.

Blood kept flowing out of the wounds on his body. However, the blood did not seep into the ground. Instead, it was sucked in by the huge stone pillar behind him.

This stone pillar was like a bloodthirsty demon, constantly devouring it. It was extremely strange!
