King of the Eternal Night Vol 1 Chapter 8

Death camp -> Acheron Camp 

Dawn of war -> Dawn War. 
On the start of this week, a tall and handsome man with a dark expression stood on the podium instead of Chang Jing. The strong men brought in a heavy rectangular gold cabinate, and opening it, what was revealed was actually all kinds of guns! 

That man only coldly spoke a sentence, “You all can call me Yin Ying.” and concluded his introduction. 

 
After speaking, Yin Ying walked to the gun cabinate, taking out two identical guns to display to the children. 

With close inspection, the two guns actually had differences, one had a gun barrel as shiny as a mirror while the other was covered in all kinds of patterns. 

 
“This is the famous Eagle Series, the standard equipment for the border soldiers of the empire, it is famous for its power.” As the man spoke, he aimed at the wall of the cla.s.sroom, pulling at the mirror-like shiny gun. 

 
The large sound that appeared immediately caused everyone’s eardrums to vibrate as large holes appeared on the st.u.r.dy wall of the cla.s.sroom, revealing the broken foundation.

 
Qian Ye was instantly speechless! Even the walls could be destroyed like that, if such a powerful were to hit someone, a hole would instantly appear with one shot, and if the limbs were shot, it would probably be blown off. 

“Is it powerful? Of course not!” Yin Ying’s cold voice sounded. 

 
The other gun with the patterns suddenly gave of light, and with the sound of something heavy colliding, a bundle green light was spat from the muzzle onto the wall, causing a large sound to appear! 

 
Countless shattered stones flew in all directions, causing the children to be unable to look up at they were hit. 
When Qian Ye had put down the arm he raised to protect his face, he was shocked to see that the wall made of green stone and gold had a large hole in it now, and beyond the hole was the sight of the outside world! 

 
That bundle of green light, actually was so powerful! 

 
That man waved the still glowing gun as he spoke, “This is a gun that uses the Force, it’s strength is something not normal Gunpowder powered guns can compare to. These kinds of low leveled Force Guns which power already rivals cannons are the reason why we won over the Dark trash in the Dawn War, laying the foundation of the empire we have today!”

 
Afterwards, Yin Ying explained the theory of the Force Guns. 

 
Force guns were similar to traditional gunpowder guns, but it’s theory was completely different. Where the gunpowder and bullets were supposed to be kept, was an energy compression compartment, it required the user to instil Force which would be compressed into Force Bullets which would be shot. 

As the energy equipment and the different bearing capacity of the firearm material, the Force Guns’ power was also completely different. Some Force guns even had extremely powerful special abilities. Guns like this, could become one of the famous guns. 

 
But amongst the famous guns, were the even more famous guns. 

 
There were the ten great famous guns jn this world, their threat absolute. 

Legends say that any gun amongst the ten had a power that could change the world! 

 
In a thousand years, countless famous fights appeared because of these ten famous guns that appeared in legends, countless shockingly talented powerful men falling to their demise because of them. As such, people rushed to follow their footsteps as well. 

 
And today, three of the Ten Great guns were in the hands of humankind, five in the hands of the Dark Races, and the last two’s whereabouts unknown. 

 
From the allocation of the Ten Great Guns, one could tell that the powerful in this world, the three factions, Dawn, Eternal Night and the Neutral, were equally matched. 

 
As was the end of the training today, all the children focused on this lesson. Even the children of sects were focusing intently. 

 
Yin Ying opened a portion of the teaching board and presented a three dimensional diagram. It was a beautiful antique pistol. 

 
This gun’s exterior was the antiqued version of the shining pistol earlier, the hammer of the gun at the back had a silver white colour and a curved appearance. The barrel and handle covered in gold with patterns carved in. On the body of the gun was a carving of a shocking blood red flower, the petals growing towards all four directions. 

Yin Ying subconsciously straightened his body with a face full of solemness, he even started to feel hot as he spoke word by word, “This is one of the Ten Great Guns in Humankind’s hands, the first true famous gun the empire owned; Manshu Sand Flower, also named Red Spider Lily(Bian Flower). 

(Puttty: Bian flower is a real flower, it’s named Red Spider Lily.) 

Qian Ye repeated the name, ‘Manshu Sand flower’ a few time, his heart marveling at the strange feeling of beauty and mysteriousness the term gave him, which made him deeply remember this name.  

A child bravely asked, “Does, does it have a special ability?”

 
“Good question!” Yin Ying was completely excited now, with an animated face, he replied, “Manshu sand flower, as described in the written legends of humankind, it grows at the banks if the Styx river at the nether depths, every fall of a life on this world would result in a small flower growing at the riverbank. It! Can ignite the primitive power of the world, light the path to the Styx river, use the legendary termination ability, w.a.n.g Chuan!”
From this week onwards, amongst Qian Ye’s lessons appeared another three courses regarding Force Guns, one was about Energy flow, the other was mantainance and a.s.sembly of guns, and their uses. 

 
In these three cla.s.ses, Qian Ye’s scores were ranked in the top five, pushing his overall rank into the top fifty, and when their ranks were announced on the weekend, he was at the nineteenth place. 

 
Despite only having a two spot difference between the fourty ninth and fifty first, it had a large difference in another meaning. Qian Ye could tell the positions behund the first fifty was in the elimination zone, and for those who were eliminated, their only fate was, death. 

 
Monday quickly came, and when Qian Ye entered the training room, he was actually feeling extremely excited. And of course, the dark slave had placed two pieces of Zhu Yan Blood!

 
The senses that were amplified almost ten times had allowed Qian Ye to feel the resonance of Force. As the Bing Fa exercise was executed, the Force in Qian Ye was circulated and moved like waves, each larger than the last! During the times where he did not have any Zhu Yan Blood, at the point his Force would’ve became smaller due to insufficient power. 

 
Without the help of these kind of special spices, Qian Ye’s perception and drawing of Force would be extremely slow, he could only slowly acc.u.mulate and lead before he could gather enough to form a wave. 

Of course, with two portions of Zhu Yan Blood, Qian Ye’s speed was greatly increased. Force entered his body nonstop, increasing the size of his Force waves.

 
Finally, the Force waved reached its peek and with a loud tide sound appearing in Qian Ye’s ear, his Force moved like waves as it retreated. 

 
The first Force Wave was finally completed! 

 
This first Force Wave did not get to completely retreat before it hit a new Force, and created a new Force wave, the second wave being higher than the first, more powerful than the first. But before it could reach it’s peak, it lacked a small length and could only drop down due to insufficient Force.  

 
Dang! The long chime shocked Qian Ye back to reality, the training session had ended. 

 
The hardest part of the Bing Yue Exercise was creating the first wave, the following second and third wave was much easier to achieve. When the Force Waves moved, a powerful attraction would be generated to absorb the surrounding Force into one’s body. 

 
If it weren’t for the two portions  Zhu Yan blood, Qian Ye would’ve needed at least two weeks to create his first wave. And at that time, completing the Nine Tidals in three months would be impossible. 

In the following weeks, Qian Ye’s training was very successful. And a month before the three months mark, Qian Ye could already produce his fifth wave. The improvement Bing Yue exercise brought was something that became faster and faster, and perhaps in half a month, Qian Ye would’ve become capable of producing his first complete Nine Tidals. 

 
Though everyone in the Training Camp was busy training within this period of time, there was still information spreader around. When the children had just started training, a child was actually capable of producing a full Nine Tidals already! And according to the rumours, in the entire group of children at Acheron Camp, the most talented child had already started attempting to light his first spirit node! 

 
It was a boy named Xu Lang, rumoured to be born in a prestigious family in the empire, a first rate talent!

 
Hearing this, Qian Ye’s small heart could not help but feel bitter. The scar at his chest was already there when he had just attained his ability to remember. Living at the Training Camp reminded him of his scar in a daily basis, if it weren’t for this scar, he should be a first rate talent as well. 

 
Everytime he used the Bing Yue exercise and his Force was tumbling in waves, when they came to the area near his scar, his Force would stagnate. Therefore, Qian Ye would need more Force to completely lead the Force Waves. 

Qian Ye did not know who left him this scar. he was only three, when he received this injury! 

 
This was just fate, Qian Ye could only accept it. 

 
As the training continued, the knowledge he obtained in this first three months increased again, this time in the mechnical aspects. 

 
This was an all inclusive subject, not only was mathematics, physics and many other information. Only like this can they understand the machines humankind use to change the world and rely on. 

 
The first generation of machinery relied on Blackstone as its fuel for the steam engines. After a successful first small scale experiment, the first generation steam engine machines appeared on the continent. It had a lot of merits, it’s steady, powerful and more, and the best of all, it was cheap. 

It was cheap to make and maintain, furthermore, Blackstone could be seen everywhere, with rich iron supply, even after a thousand years, steam engine machinery was still the vest choice. 

With the increase of knowledge base cla.s.ses, Qian Ye’s ranking was successfully increasing as well, he even pa.s.sed the tenth mark, entering the top ten. 

 
The third month tests finally arrived, Qian Ye, who had already finished the Force Tidals a long time ago was not troubled at all. Only three children in his batch was unable to and was personally whipped by Chang Jing and carried away under her orders. 

 
With three months pa.s.sing without any deaths, these children had already almost forget that this place was the Acheron Camp, where the reserves of the imperial army were chosen and eliminated from, the training camp termed the cruellest! 

 
When the fourth month started, a new cla.s.s was introduced; Battles. 

 
From this moment onwards, the relaxing training life ended. In battle cla.s.s, the teacher would guide then to start while the students would end it by fighting each other. 

In the entire first week, most of the children were badly beaten, Qian Ye suffering especially badly. 

 
The students would all attack with all their might, there was no room for mercy at all. And in the top ranking students, Qian Ye who was the weakest, received a lot of harsh treatment. 

If they could beat Qian Ye to the point where he couldn’t even stand, they would lose an compet.i.tor for the Zhu Yan blood. 

 
This was the Acheron camp, not a n.o.ble academy for the graceful.

 
During the weekend announcement of rankings, Qian Ye was revealed to have dropped crazily down to the fourty eighth place, he had barely kept in the top fifty positions. 

After seeing their rankings, it was time for rest for the children. 

 
Just walking into his bedroom, his room door was suddenly closed as a few black shadows pounced on him and grabbed him. An arm has circled around Qian Ye’s neck, locking him in place as his breathing was hindered, not allowing him to make noise. 

This was a fighting technique that they had just learned, and it was used on Qian Ye. 

TL NOTE: NEXT CHAPTER WILL COME OUT SOON. 

I found the other translator’s chapters, I shouldn’t recommend it, the translator skips on important details and changes meanings on a lot of the sentences. 

He probably couldn’t understand the meaning of the sentence and reconstructed it to the best of his ability. I will translate from where my friend has left off, I will not touch a single word from his translations.
