Chapter 40 - 93,101

The first time I tried to catch a star.

Ye Lai relied on his intuition and easily sensed the top five stars that were most closely connected to him.

But this time, Ye Lai sensed seventy or eighty stars that were closely connected to him.

This threw him into confusion just as he was about to grab it.

Why is this happening?

Ye Laidao.

[Hint: Do you want to spend 2413 Blue Mysterious Crystals + 127 Red Mysterious Crystals to learn the 'Secret of Advancement'?]

A prompt appears.

"spend."

Ye Lai replied immediately.

The theories Ye Lai learned during this period taught him that every secret is hard-won.

Moreover, none of his current exclusive professions and this starry sky have ever been recorded before.

Just like his ability to see hidden information and the online store, this is something only he knows.

In a normal process of advancement for a transcendent being, one will see the rules contained within the Seed of Transcendent Power, absorb the skills and energy within, and build a new ascending class based on their original profession.

Instead of like Ye Lai.

A starry sky, with countless stars for the leaves to pluck.

This is very wrong.

"It seems I really need to think this through carefully this time, and can't just let my feelings take their course."

Ye Lai looked up at the starry sky.

Feeling the connection between those seventy or eighty closely linked stars, Ye Lai searched for their positions one by one in the starry sky.

One star is on an elephant, another on a clown, and a group of constellations next to the clown together form a circus puzzle...

Ye looked at all the stars that were related to her.

Not only did they discover the differences, they also discovered their future direction.

You can choose any of the five skills related to your first-tier profession. For example, you can choose other skills of the Joker as your second-tier profession skills, or you can choose another profession instead of the Joker.

Now, it's Ye Lai's turn to make a decision.

"I'm currently facing uncertain directions, and I'm hesitant."

Ye Lai keenly realized his hesitation; he even had the idea ofjust grabbing a few stars at random.

"Hesitation means that I am not clear about the future at all, or even where I should go. I have not thought enough about my career, so I cannot make a definite answer."

"That's why I had the idea ofjust grabbing a few stars and counting them. To entrust my life to vague luck and fate is not something I want to do."

Ye Lai muttered to himself, as if he were admonishing himself.

He calmed himself down and sat upright in the dark starry sky. Five more stars flew out from his body.

This is a demonstration of the five skills of a first-tier awakened professional.

With the 'Blessing of Destructive Starlight' already nearby, six stars orbited around him, writing names one by one in this dark starry sky.

The Vajra Mantra, the clown's smile, the circus's mockery, unstoppable domination...

Each of these names signifies the skill of a star closely connected with Ye Lai.

Ye Lai is no longer in a hurry to break through.

He needs to carefully select the skills that suit him best from these skills.

One skill after another was arranged and combined in his mind, outlining different future directions.

⒏вσоK. СΟм

The first thing he excluded were the various extreme combinations he had created.

Such as professions that can kill with a single blow, professions with unparalleled defense, or professions with elusive and elusive movements.

These professions are good, but they are too extreme.

An extreme profession may provide temporary success, but it doesn't lead to long-term benefits.

Ye Lai's goal is no longer to live the ordinary life of a superhuman and a successful person; his current goal is to become a supreme being with sufficient power.

Only strong power can determine more things and prevent sudden disasters from disrupting life.

Only with great power can one go further and do what one wants.

If he had possessed sufficient power in Demon Town, he wouldn't have needed to make so many guesses, leading him into dangerous situations and even sacrificing himself to survive.

If he were in the murder hospital, he would have enough power to even storm into the supernatural world and kill that dog-like supernatural being named Tan Tong.

He had never seen what a strong person looked like before, which is why he thought that living an ordinary life was good.

This is not Ye Lai's fault. Like a frog sitting in a box, his vision is limited to the sky in front of him, and his goals are constrained by his limited perspective.

But now he has met all the responsible persons, and even the pure white king sitting on the throne, who can destroy a strange world with a wave of his hand.

Ye Lai's goal has become to become a strong person, even as strong as the Pure White King who destroyed the strange world with a wave of his hand.

It's good to live a peaceful and ordinary life, but if the sky were to fall one day, all that beauty would be gone.

This is not a peaceful era. The reason why many people feel that it is peaceful is because the Extraordinary Center is supporting them.

...

Ye Lai didn't know how much time had passed.

He only knew that he eliminated one permutation and combination after another, and finally he was presented with two good combinations.

One direction lies in the present, possessing extremely strong combat power, arguably the best among all known combinations.

The light from these five stars is arguably among the most dazzling in the star charts of second-tier professions.

The other direction lies in the future. Its combat power is slightly weaker, and the constellation it forms is not as dazzling, but Ye Lai can sense its potential.

Many of the skills overlap with constellations that occupy a region of the night sky, and also have a mysterious connection with the stars deepest within those constellations. This means that if Ye Lai can go far enough with these skills in hand, he will be able to achieve great things.

They might become the protagonists, or even the masters, of those constellations.

This may be hard to understand.

To put it simply, for example, in a region of the southwestern sky, a large group of bright stars actually forms a constellation called the Circus Constellation.

Within this circus constellation, there is a central and prominent constellation.

Ye Lai didn't know which rank the innermost constellation was, but it would definitely be the strongest one in the circus constellations.

Is there another starry sky above the starry sky?

A question popped into Ye Lai's mind.

But this idea only lasted a short while before Ye Lai ignored it.

"The flowing water does not compete to be first, but to flow endlessly."

"We don't seek kingship through combat power; we seek supreme strength."

"However, the second-tier supreme strength is not the strongest. Why should I think about taking first place at this time? My goal should be the strongest ninth tier."

"What we need is the strongest at the highest level."

Ye Lai stopped his short-sighted thoughts and focused his attention on the ninth level, which was currently invisible.

We must go further on the road.

It's the second one."

Ye Lai confirmed his thoughts and no longer hesitated.

He reached out and grabbed a star in the distant southwestern sky. It was a constellation of a circus in a frenzy of revelry. What Ye Lai grasped was a clown constellation, a star on its leg.

You have acquired the Happy Clown's Sneaky Steps skill.

For the second star, Ye Lai reached eastward, where there was a constellation of longswords. He chose the one closest to the center and grasped the second star within it.

You have acquired the Peerless Swordsman's Two-Sword Break skill.

In the third lesson, Ye Lai returned to the central constellation and caught one of the stars that was flashing with electricity.

You have acquired the Lightning Armor skill of the Berserker Lightning Warrior.

Finally, Ye arrived at a constantly moving white dragon constellation and grasped the star representing its head.

You have acquired the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's 'Explosive Gale Bullet' skill.

Four stars surrounded Ye Lai.

It rotates at high speed along with the white star and the previous five stars.

No collision occurred.

Ten stars formed a mysterious trajectory.

Finally, it completely merged into Ye Lai's body.

Congratulations on successfully advancing to the next level...

You have obtained a Tier 2 exclusive class...

Please name it....

Ye Lai sensed a power that was different from, but much stronger, than when he was a first-tier awakened one.

"A name?"

This is Ye Lai's least favorite moment; coming up with a name is just too difficult.

He felt somewhat embarrassed about his previous Awakened One names, feeling they were a disservice to his profession.

"Since my second-tier power comes from 'Destructive Starlight of Destruction,' then my second-tier class shall be called Destruction Messenger."

After struggling for a long time, Ye Lai finally came up with a name that he felt was barely acceptable.

[Naming successful...]

Your second-tier exclusive class is - Demon Slayer.

[Talents and skills are being updated and reset...]

Reset complete.

A message appeared in Ye Lai's mind.

This allowed Ye Lai to understand the effects and skills of his second-tier exclusive profession.

[Talent: Blessing of Destructive Starlight]

Position 1 Skill: Devious Step

[Second Position Skill: Double Sword Break]

[Skill for Position 3: Lightning Armor]

[Skill for Position 4: Destructive Breakthrough White Light Burst Gale Annihilation Fist]

Aside from the fact that the fourth skill's name is too long, each skill is powerful and can be used in conjunction with first-tier skills.

Fantastic.

The starry sky gradually receded into the distance.

Ye Lai's figure turned into starlight and disappeared into the starry sky.

Not long after, darkness descended upon the spot where Ye Lai had just appeared, and then vanished again after finding nothing there.

...

When Ye Lai opened his eyes.

The place he was staying in was no longer the research institute, but a simple steel room with only a bed, a table and a chair.

There was nothing else.

Although he was advancing in rank, Ye Lai was still aware of what was happening outside, but he couldn't control himself.

"It seems like we've gotten ourselves into a big mess."

Ye Lai remembered the voice of Lan Beihong that had rang in his ears earlier, and it seemed that he had incurred a huge debt.

This should be the secluded retreat room that Lan Beihong mentioned.

Ye Lai had heard of it before, but had never been here. This is a special area for those who are close to advancing in rank or skill promotion. It uses extremely special materials and has strong sound insulation and protective effects.

Those below the level of a saint are difficult to defeat.

⒏ьσOk. cOm

Ye took a look and saw that the bed, table, and chairs were all made of this special iron material.

"Perhaps to prevent damage? That's why even household items are made of this material?"

Ye Lai thought to himself.

Besides providing protection and sound insulation, this special material can also help people concentrate and reduce the risk of failed advancements.

If it truly becomes corrupted, this material will transmit special signals to Lan Beihong, and the Extraordinary Center will dispatch extraordinary individuals to kill it.

Don't be fooled by how easily Ye Lai advances in rank and upgrades his skills each time. In reality, advancing in rank is risky, and upgrading relies on enlightenment; both are extremely risky endeavors.

"Let's not rush out. Let's stay here and see what we've got."

Ye Laidao.

Another great thing about the secluded training room is its secrecy. Unless a superhuman falls into a state of transformation, even the person in charge cannot enter the training room.

This is a unified discipline established by the royal capital for all extraordinary centers.

Open the online store.

[Mysterious Blue Crystal X12345]

[1455 eerie red crystals]

[Dragon Soul Crystal X300]

Below each data point is the total cost of this bizarre experience.

This time, I did spend a lot of blue crystals on medicine and other items. Dragon Soul Crystals were only dropped during the Rebirth event and were even halved in price.

The last few were all eerie phantoms; there were no real kills, which is the most regrettable part.

Compared to the number before entering, it hasn't increased much.

The ring and the mysterious sword from the ancients were completely destroyed.

"It seems the main gains were the upgrade and the secret."

Ye Lai comforted himself.

"I still need a sword, and this time I also need to buy a pair of shoes and a set of protective gear."

The items, equipment, and props inside Devil Town are much more plentiful compared to the other two.

Many of them are of perfect quality.

But the price is really expensive!

Seeing that he didn't have many crystals, Ye Lai selectively exchanged for three pieces of equipment and two small blue pills.

A gleaming sword, a set of shape-changing armor, and a pair of shoes—the sword was the most expensive item! The other two cost less.

This time, it's just one flower.

Ye Lai's strange crystals plummeted again.

All of them have become three-digit numbers.

Ye Lai kept the remaining crystals for emergencies, as there were many things that could be exchanged in the shop, and they could sometimes come in unexpected ways.

For example, the map and notebook of Devil Town helped Ye Lai a lot during this mission.

Put on the armor and shoes, and transform them into their normal form.

The sword was then put into the backpack.

Ye Lai arrived at the iron gate of the secluded training room, placed his hand on it, and slowly poured his energy into it.

After sensing that there was no strange aura in Ye Lai's energy.

The iron gate opened.

A blue sky with a faint glow, pressure-free air, a normal patch of green trees, and superhumans moving about in and out of various facilities.

Ye Lai felt a sense of relief.

The eerie world and the real world are truly completely different experiences.

In the eerie world, you have to be on edge all the time, and even sleeping is not peaceful, while in reality, everything is relaxed.

Being alive is the greatest thing in the world.

This made Ye Lai realize even more the preciousness of peace.

If one day the Skynet is gone and the eerie world descends upon the Great Xia Kingdom again, it will surely be an extremely terrifying sight.

Take a deep breath.

Ye Lai walked towards the Wuchang Hotel.

Take a small step forward.

The figure reappeared, now more than a hundred meters away.

.[The first skill of the Deception Master - Devious Step]

The clown's skill comes from a state of confusion.

After the change, it became possible to appear in any area with a maximum distance of 100 meters simply by taking a step.

It also comes with a happy state, which can make users happy and can be used to avoid some negative states.

With newly acquired skills.

Ye Lai arrived at the Wuchang Hotel very quickly.

Go upstairs.

I went to my parents' room, and when the door opened...

When Jiang Juanli opened the door and saw Ye Lai outside, her expression instantly changed to one of surprise and delight: "Son, you're back!"

Ye Lai disappeared for half a month after entering the bizarre world alone.

Jiang Juanli and Ye Zheng asked around and learned that their son had once again entered a strange world, which made them extremely worried.

But there's nothing they can do about it; this is the job of those with superhuman abilities.

Now I see my son has returned safely.

The couple were overjoyed.

"Mom and Dad, I'm home."

Ye Laidao.

After chatting with his parents in the room for a while, Ye Lai took out two small blue pills, which were the main reason he came here.

"This medicine can help you restore your vitality..."

Ye Lai explained the effects of the medicine to his parents.

"This thing is too valuable. You always have to go into the supernatural world. You should keep this for yourself. There's no need for us to use it. We're already very happy to be able to enjoy our old age like this."

Jiang Juanli refused, saying, "Keep these life-saving items for when it matters. Your father and I are old and don't need them."

A mother only wants to give the best things to her son, and she doesn't mind doing less work herself.

"Your mother is right. Keep this for yourself. I refuse to believe that I'm going to die young when I'm eating well, sleeping well, and in a good mood every day."

Ye Zheng also supported Jiang Juanli, believing that such an expensive item was more suitable for Ye Lai to use himself, and that it would be a waste for the couple.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I have plenty more here."

Ye Lai had no choice but to convince his parents at this point, "Don't worry, I've also broken through to the second tier this time..."

Under Ye Lai's earnest persuasion.

The couple finally agreed to take the pills.

It must be said that the pills were very effective. Ten seconds after taking them, the two middle-aged men regained their youth, their wrinkles smoothed out, and their white hair turned black again.

You could say she looks a full ten years younger.

Seeing the effect of the blue pill, Ye Lai felt relieved. With this, he no longer needed to worry about his parents' loss of life force.

The blue pills aren't expensive; just kill a few more monsters.

As for the issue of sensing, Ye Lai is not worried for the time being. His parents are living a much happier life here than in other places outside.

The Extraordinary Center in Hongshan City is the most suitable place for retirement.

Without a doubt, if houses were sold here, even at ten million per square meter, there would definitely be plenty of wealthy people willing to buy them.

...

After resolving the parents' issues.

Lan Beihong also came to find Ye Lai:

"You've gotten yourself into a lot of trouble this time."

"..."

"I have a general understanding."

Ye Lai didn't intend to play dumb. He had already reacted to the outside world and knew that his advancement had almost caused the strange world on the first floor of the research institute to collapse.

"Write me a report about what happened in the solitary eerie world."

Lan Beihong didn't criticize him too much, but simply asked Ye to write a report to him, requiring it to be completed by noon the next day.

Ye Lai asked why it was so early.

8Bσok. СΟm

"I'm afraid your writing is too bad and will upset others, so I'll polish it up for you."

Lan Beihong told Ye Lai the reason.

What a nice polishing!

Ye Lai understood the meaning behind it.

After Lan Beihong left.

Ye Lai thought about it for a long time.

I just picked up the pen and started writing, still omitting a lot of things that shouldn't be there.

The pure white king, the hidden information, and some subjective guesses that were visible have been removed.

The key point is that symbiotes appear in it...

After submitting the report, Lan Beihong was unusually visibly annoyed.

"How could something like this possibly pass inspection?"

"The first report was fairly normal, but a lot of things were omitted. It seems there are quite a few secrets."

Lan Beihong flipped through Ye Lai's report, the contents of which had been kept as brief as possible.

Examples include 'I answered the question cleverly,' 'I defeated the other party,' and 'I discovered that my sister was right.'

They only contain conclusions without providing the process.

However, as the intelligence chief, Lan Beihong was still able to glean a great deal of useful information from it.

"It seems that Ye Lai has a similar ability to see and gather information."

Lan Beihong made his judgment, and his expression changed slightly upon seeing the presence of the symbiote.

"The symbiotes appeared and blocked the return? This phrase is not quite right and needs to be changed."

He added a few words to the report, making it a first-generation symbiote.

"That's the right way. Otherwise, if we upload it to the database, it will just attract a lot of questions from those people."

After revising the entire report by 95%, Lan Beihong uploaded it to the database.

...

Inside the highest council hall of the Great Xia capital.

Tang Dao, the head of the Hongshan Center, was standing on a red carpet, giving his report.

"This is the whole story of this bizarre intrusion,"

"The reason is that Tan Tong, the second son of the Golden Family, disregarded the 'Peace Agreement between Humans and the Strange' and unilaterally invaded our Hongshan City First Hospital, causing the deaths of 23,866 ordinary people and seven outstanding first-level superhumans in Hongshan City."

"We must make the Golden Family bear this loss and severely punish and sanction them."

Tang Dao stood straight and spoke with great momentum.

There were four other people standing around him, three men and one woman.

One person had blue eyes and black hair, another was dressed in colorful clothes, and yet another was all muscle. The only woman, on the other hand, looked quite ordinary.

These are the four current heads of the Royal Capital headquarters who are still here in the capital.

They heard Tang Dao's report, their expressions varied, but they all silently nodded in support.

"Agree."

"I think it's a good idea."

"I agree."

"Who's going? I'll go?"

The four expressed their opinions.

He knew all four of them from Tangdao, and they basically shared his stance, but their statements were not the key point.

Tang Dao raised his head at a 45-degree angle, looking upwards.

There was a man sitting on a wooden throne, wearing a mask that obscured his face. His pale hair was neatly combed, and the only thing visible was the eye that was looking at Tang Dao from beneath the mask.

The two looked at each other, but Tang Dao could not discern any thoughts from the masked man.

The reason is simple: the person sitting on the throne is stronger than Tang Dao, much stronger.

Because he is the strongest person in the Great Xia Kingdom today—King Wang Quanye of Great Xia.

⑧BOok.СOm

.He deserves to die."

The King of Xia uttered two words.

These two words brought great joy to the Tangdao and headquarters leaders below.

Five distinct auras suddenly erupted: one wild and domineering, one ethereal and icy, one passionate and exhilarating...

They seemed very excited.

But then a powerful pressure suddenly struck.

The five powerful forces that had just erupted were completely suppressed.

This pressure is balanced, calm, and grand.

Also coming from above, from beside the Great Xia King sitting on the wooden throne, was an old man with gray hair, holding a scepter.

"King of Great Xia, this is not good. Making promises so easily will damage your royal dignity."

The old man said slowly, "According to the procedure, our council should handle this first, and then Your Majesty can make a decision."

"Um."

After a long pause, the King of Great Xia, who sat on the wooden throne, finally uttered a single word from beneath his mask.

Tang Island is also known as the Mad Lion, but even this Mad Lion has to lie down in front of this old man who looks like a dreadful old man.

The reason is simple: he couldn't beat his opponent, who was suppressing five people by himself and still seemed to have plenty of strength left.

As the top leader of Hongshan City, the central city, Tang Dao's strength was no less than that of the four network leaders beside him. It was as if this old man had single-handedly suppressed five sixth-level Saint Sects.

The old man has the ability, and he should have the ability.

Because he is the Speaker of the Parliament of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the de facto leader of both the Upper and Lower Houses.

In terms of status, he was second only to the emperor, and some even said that he was on par with the King of Xia.

"Alright, now it's time for everyone to vote. Please share your thoughts in a fair and impartial manner."

The old speaker tapped the ground with his scepter, releasing light that illuminated the surroundings.

Twenty-two people in long robes emerged from the red carpet below.

Further down the red carpet was an area without a carpet, where fifty-nine people also walked out.

Including the former speaker himself, there were a total of seventy-two people.

"Twenty-three people in the House of Lords and fifty-nine in the House of Commons. I didn't expect so many of them to be here today. Wow."

The last one was said by Tang Dao through gritted teeth.

It's impossible for a small intrusion report to attract the presence of both houses of parliament. Normally, it's rare for the entire House of Commons to be present.

Now everyone is present, and the former speaker has even come in person.

Tang Dao knew without even thinking that there must be something wrong with this.

"As the speaker of the parliament, I should naturally take such a tragic event with heavy casualties seriously."

One of the senators spoke on the red carpet.

"Who do you think I am, that you need to say such high-sounding things to me?"

Tang Dao sneered, and a golden lion appeared behind him, majestic and imposing.

"Violence can only bring violence, not peace."

Three other senators stepped forward.

Together with the original councilors, there are four of them in total. Each of them displays different strange phenomena behind them, and they unite to resist the pressure brought by Tang Island.

"What? Four against one? You think you can bully my Extraordinary Center because there's no one here?"

A headquarters leader stepped out, his battle aura surging wildly and forming the shape of a dragon behind him, emitting a dragon's roar.

The remaining eighteen councilors stepped forward simultaneously, and a holy light shone forth.

They suppressed Tangdao and another person in charge.

Seeing this, the other three captains also stepped forward, each unleashing their own unique phenomena.

However, with five against twenty-two, it was clear that these officials were at a disadvantage.

All the leaders are strong, but the members of the Upper House are not weak either. Every member of the Upper House is required to be at least a fifth-level Saint.

While they are weaker in individual strength than the heads of the Extraordinary Center who have grown up in the midst of battle, their numbers are enough to make up for the gap.

⑧Book.com

"If I had known you were all here, I should have notified all the other responsible persons to come."

Tang Dao's eyes flashed with rage. "So what if we outnumber you? I am Tang Dao, the Mad Lion. Do you think you can suppress us like this?"

"Enough!"

The speaker at the top struck his scepter again. He didn't see what happened, but he knew that the two sides, who were locked in a power struggle, were forced to separate on their own.

"Tang Island, this is our council's voting process. If something like this happens again, I will demote you from the sixth rank to the fifth rank."

The speaker said solemnly.

"He's right. Don't do that again. This is the proper procedure, and the final decision is mine."

The King of Great Xia also spoke.

Tang Dao naturally understood what the Great Xia King meant: he should be patient, and although a parliamentary vote was necessary, the final decision rested with him, the Great Xia King.

He did nothing more, just stood there listlessly.

He never imagined that the situation in the capital would have reached this point, with the council actually interfering with their reports to the Extraordinary Center.

"It must be his masterpiece."

Tang Dao thought to himself.

Each member of parliament emitted a beam of light that detached from their body and flew into the scepter in the Speaker's hand at the top.

This is a parliamentary vote.

Each ray of light represents the thoughts and decisions of the legislator.

It appears to be fair and just.

It was all a lie; the real decision had already been made before the vote.

Everything right now is just for show.

Tang Dao was well aware of these tricks.

It should be said that every person in charge is very clear about this system of parliament.

Such a grand spectacle today.

It's nothing more than an attempt to stop their Extraordinary Center from imposing sanctions on the Golden Family.

Otherwise, given the ruthless nature of the Great Xia King, after hearing the report, he would have immediately arranged for the person in charge to go to the strange world where the Golden Family resides.

If the Golden King of the Golden Family were to intervene, or even if the King of Great Xia were to personally intervene, it is possible.

On principles and core issues.

The King of Great Xia has always been reckless and would never sacrifice core interests to achieve peace.

"The results of the vote are in."

The old speaker suddenly shed tears, appearing extremely moved.

"A total of seventy-one votes were cast, all choosing to forgive rather than punish the attack. Adding my vote, that makes a total of seventy-two votes. The entire council believes that the Golden Family should not be punished."

"This is all for peace, and I am moved by you."

The old speaker bowed deeply to the crowd below, then said to the still seated King of Great Xia, "Now it is Your Majesty's decision."

"Um."

The King of Great Xia responded.

Tang Dao felt a little nervous.

If the council hadn't intervened, he was certain the Great Xia King would have chosen to fight, or even wage war, to make the instigator of this bizarre invasion pay the price.

However, now that the council is blocking him, he is worried that the King of Great Xia will choose to put it aside for the time being out of consideration.

"I understand your opinions."

"My decision is to go into battle."

"The King of Great Xia said."

No one could see the expression on his face beneath the mask; they only heard him continue speaking:

"Punishment will be carried out in accordance with the terms of the 'Humanity and the Strange' Agreement. If the Golden King tries to stop me, then I will take action myself."

Your Majesty, but the Emperor has already said that we should maintain a peaceful attitude towards the supernatural. If we do that, we will be going against his wishes."

The old speaker, upon hearing the words of the Great Xia King, was not anxious, but simply said...

"What do you mean? Just because we maintain peace means we deserve to be invaded? If that's the case, how are we any different now than we were ten years ago?"

Tang Dao spoke up; he couldn't let the old speaker do as he pleased, he had to step forward and state his position.

"Our Great Xia Kingdom prioritizes the people. How could we possibly allow an invading monster to leave so easily?"

"That's for sure. If that were the case, our Great Xia Kingdom wouldn't be called the Great Xia Kingdom."

The other two leaders also spoke up, while only the blue-eyed, black-haired man and the female leader remained silent.

"This is a strategy of concealing one's abilities and biding one's time. The Human Emperor naturally has his own plans, which is not something you can speculate on at will."

The old speaker continued, invoking the Emperor.

"I did not say that I do not respect the Emperor's decision; I am merely stating my opinion."

No matter how arrogant Tang Dao was, he dared not utter a word against the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please consider the bigger picture."

The speaker continued speaking to the King of Great Xia.

No one in charge spoke up again, and the few headquarters officials who had the authority to speak had not yet returned; they were all currently carrying out missions.

"If he has any objections, I'll speak up for him,"

The King of Great Xia spoke up, "Let Blue Sky handle the matter of carrying out the punishment at the Golden Palace."

On the red carpet.

A knife cleaved through space and tore it apart.

A man dressed in blue stepped out, his aura as vast as the sea.

His appearance immediately silenced the tense atmosphere on the red carpet, and all the fighting seemed to be forcibly calmed down in front of this man in blue.

"Is that Lan Tian? When did you get back?"

The speaker saw him and asked with a smile, a stark contrast to his attitude towards the other officials.

There is no other reason.

Of the nine people in charge at headquarters, only four are above the sixth rank: one is the Great Xia King, and the other is the calm-looking man in front of us.

"Just got back."

Lan Tian calmly responded to the old speaker, and then asked the Great Xia King, "When do we depart?"

"Now, let's finish this in half a month, and then come back to watch the Ace Game."

The Great Xia Dynasty's Way.

"Good."

Lan Tian responded, then thrust his sword into the void, creating an opening in front of him. He walked straight in and disappeared from the Supreme Council Hall.

They went straight into the depths of the eerie world without asking any questions.

This also indirectly reflects the attitude of the King of Xia.

Lan Tian's return was so cleverly planned that it could only have been preordained by the Great Xia King.

"Very well, I will speak to the Emperor about this matter myself."

The old speaker sighed.

"Hard."

The King of Xia was extremely sparing with his words.

"Furthermore, in the Western Zhou Kingdom, the symbiotic policy has been implemented for many years, and so far everything is going well. Their symbiotic combat power is now extremely strong, their strength has increased, and there have been no problems in the past ten years."

"I think we can start implementing this symbiosis. Our superhumans are already powerful. If we cooperate with symbiosis, our superhumans will definitely be able to improve even more, and their survival rate will also increase significantly. There may even be a few new god-level powerhouses."

The old speaker suddenly spoke again.

Fourth-tier Saints, fifth-tier Title Saints, sixth-tier Saint Ancestors, and above the sixth tier, one can be called a god, because the destructive power of the seventh tier is no different from that of the gods in mythology.

"So that's what that old man was planning all along."

Tang Dao suddenly realized that the real reason for stopping them from fighting was not to promote peace, but to push forward this bizarre symbiotic relationship.

⒏ьOoк. СOm

This allows all extraordinary individuals to coexist with the supernatural, becoming dual beings and enhancing their strength.

It sounded perfect. Tang Dao had also had contact with the symbiotes of Xi Zhou, which seemed normal, but he just couldn't stand it.

You coexist with the supernatural and become a symbiotic to fight against it. But what if one day the supernatural you coexist with runs into trouble?

What should we do then?

The King of Great Xia held the same attitude, refusing to allow symbiotic anomalies to be established within Great Xia, and forbidding any organization from promoting symbiotes, permitting only the existence of extraordinary individuals.

"Your Majesty, those who become extraordinary beings will definitely become symbiotes, and those who cannot become extraordinary beings also have a fairly high probability of becoming symbiotes."

"Implementing the symbiotic and bizarre strategy and perfecting the path of symbiotes will greatly increase the number of extraordinary beings in the middle and lower levels of our Great Xia Kingdom, and will also enhance the combat power of our extraordinary beings."

"This is a good thing that benefits the country and its people."

"The speaker pleaded."

This is also the idea of those who support the symbiotic weirdo. Compared to the low probability of becoming a superhuman, the possibility of becoming a symbiotic is much higher, about fifty times that of a superhuman.

This also means that many ordinary people who are not destined for the extraordinary can become symbionts.

Moreover, coexisting with the supernatural can enhance the superhuman's own strength.

This is a win-win approach, and other countries have already begun to try it, especially the Western Zhou state, which started trying it in the early stages of the strange occurrences.

So far, nothing has happened. In terms of numbers, the number of beings in the first to fifth ranks far exceeds that of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the sixth rank is on par with the Great Xia Kingdom.

There are several top-tier combatants who can hold their own, but among those of the same rank, the extraordinary individuals on the Great Xia side are stronger.

However, it is now in a trend of being caught up.

"I really can't outmaneuver these scheming guys."

Tang Dao was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

If he speaks now, it will carry less weight, especially since he has already been suppressed by the immense power of the Human Emperor.

We'll see.

This time, the King of Xia did not refuse directly, but simply said this.

"Your Majesty, please consider this carefully."

The speaker continued his plea.

"Let's call it a day."

The King of Great Xia spoke, "Except for Tang Island, which will remain."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, only Tang Dao and the King of Great Xia remained in the highest council hall.

"Among those at the Saintly Master level, you are the closest to breaking through. You need to speed things up."

The King of Daxia stood up from the wooden throne and walked down to Tangdao on the red carpet.

"Now it's just the two of us, so there's no need to stand on ceremony."

"..."

"Wang Quanye, I also want to break through. No one doesn't want to reach a higher level. It's just that that level seems very close to me, but to actually break through it, I'm still a long way off."

Tang Dao shook his head helplessly.

"It's really too difficult for someone like me to set up a strategy and break through this."

"..."

"You're from Mad Lion Tang Island, how could something like this be difficult for you?"

The King of Great Xia said in a relaxed tone that he was chatting with Tang Dao as if they were old friends.

In fact, the two are old friends, but only a very few people know this.

"Don't flatter me. At the Saint Sect level, I can say I'm not afraid of anyone. Even you, I think I could fight you."

"But layout is really my weakness."

Tang Dao smirked smugly.

"I'll set up a plan for you, for this Ace Tournament."

Wang Quanyedao.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Tang Dao was puzzled. Since the King of Xia personally helped him plan, he naturally had a chance to successfully break through.

However, such a breakthrough is too superficial and has a negative impact on the overall situation. Even if he breaks through, he will still be a weakling among the seventh-order divine realm, which is not what Tang Island wants.

Wang Quanye was aware of this, which is why he never mentioned helping Tang Island make a breakthrough.

"Because someone is getting restless and has already started making moves, I don't have enough chips and pieces at my disposal. I need you to make a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Wang Quanye spoke in an aged voice. After he finished speaking, he took off his mask and revealed his true face to Tang Dao.

It was a handsome face, but wrinkles were already appearing on it and were still increasing, yet disappearing quickly.

It's like a battle against time.

"I'm getting old and dying soon, and there are some things I have to finish while I'm still alive."

Wang Quanye patted Tang Dao on the shoulder.

"how so...."

Tang Dao was shocked. The strongest man in the Great Xia Kingdom, King Wang Quanye, was actually about to die of old age.

...

Hongshan City Extraordinary Center.

The third day since Ye Lai's return.

"So, all of these are my liabilities?"

Ye Lai looked at the bill that stretched for hundreds of meters in front of him and felt a little overwhelmed.

"I did the accounting myself, it can't be wrong, these are all your liabilities."

Zhu Yiwen nodded in affirmation.

How much money do I owe right now?

Ye Lai had a headache, and Zhu Yiwen came here to confirm the losses with him.

The last breakthrough at the research institute caused various strange worlds to collapse to varying degrees, and I wrote a report and submitted it not long ago.

Zhu Yiwen, the third person in charge of finances, came to him to confirm the bills.

It stretches for hundreds of meters, with extremely high numbers in each chapter.

"Let's not use the Great Xia Coins; they're useless. We can use points instead."

Zhu Yiwen said, "According to the points system, you are currently in debt of 522,784 points."

522,784 points...

Let's use more common equipment as an example.

A typical Tier 1 rare equipment is worth 1000-2000 points.

In other words, Ye Lai owes several hundred pieces of Tier 1 equipment.

Replacing it with blue eerie crystals would cost nearly 100,000 blue eerie crystals.

I can't pay it back.

Ye Lai spread his hands, giving a simple and concise answer.

I was originally planning to pay it back, but after hearing this amount, I completely gave up the idea.

"It's okay, you can delay payment. It may seem like a lot, but it's not actually that much. We'll just deduct it from your points for each future task."

Zhu Yiwen said with a smile.

Clearly, there's no point in slacking off in front of this guy in charge of the economy.

"good."

Ye Lai nodded

This means that for a long time, he will be working for the Extraordinary Center for free.

But it's alright, he can get his resources by killing monsters, and he can exchange for equipment himself, so he can be completely self-sufficient.

After the accounts were settled.

Jiang Tiandao, unable to wait any longer, rushed into the room.

Jiang Tiandao hoisted Ye Lai onto his shoulder and carried him away, directly using his advanced skill. Faced with his kidnapping, Ye Lai was completely powerless to resist.

They didn't put Ye Lai down until they reached the combat training base.

"Come on, let's fight!"

⑻ВоOK·Соm

Jiang Tiandao shouted excitedly. He already knew that Ye Lai had broken through to the second level, which meant that he could use more and stronger power.

Wang Yuan was also present today and saw his captain's excitement. He couldn't help but express his admiration: "Our captain is full of energy and vitality today!"

"....."

"If you feel full of energy and vitality, you can go for it."

Ye Lai said to Wang Yuan.

"Hahaha, I'd like to, but I'm still too weak to let the captain have his fill! Unlike you! You broke through to the second tier after only three strange worlds!"

Wang Yuan scratched his head and laughed heartily, his eyes full of envy.

He has already experienced eight bizarre worlds and is still stuck at level one. If it weren't for the life-or-death battle with Ye Lai at the Happy Cinema, during which he advanced his skill, he wouldn't be able to join the Extraordinary Center as a formal member now.

Of course, the other seven bizarre worlds combined were not as thrilling and exciting as the one with Ye.

"Enough talk, come on, let me see your new skill."

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Jiang Tiandao brandished his broadsword and unleashed a flurry of wild slashes.

In an instant, swords flashed everywhere.

Golden light spread from Ye Lai's body, and the sword light in his hand condensed into a long sword, which he then thrust forward.

The two engaged in a fierce and intense battle.

The members of Team Eight, who were standing by, all stopped what they were doing and watched Ye Lai fight their captain, their blood boiling with excitement.

"This is the kind of fighting spirit a man should have!"

"No matter what, we must get Ye Lai to join our Team Eight! It'll be really exciting to have them clash with each other like that!"

"I really want to fight Ye Lai too!!"

"Next time I'll make it clear to the captain that I want to join too!!"

"..."

The members of the eight teams expressed their opinions, but a basic summary can be made.

It's fun to fight each other, and they want to do it too.

Ye Lai and Jiang Tiandao fought to the very end, both of them covered in wounds.

Wang Yuan and other team members helped the two to Wan Yuhua in the fourth team for treatment.

During the treatment, Wan Yuhua explained Ye Lai's injuries again.

"If you have any healing abilities, I'll put you in our fourth team no matter what."

Wan Yuhua said to Ye Lai.

"Yes, it's a pity I don't have one."

Ye Lai expressed his regret.

"But it's okay if you don't have one. You can be a healer in Team Four, specifically to protect those members of Team Four who only have healing abilities and no combat capabilities."

"They are all quite open-minded, so you can enjoy it. When superhumans get married, they don't have to be monogamous, as long as both parties are willing. Our team has the highest proportion of women."

Wan Yuhua's words were loaded with meaning.

"Let's talk about it later."

Ye said that he is not against dating, but he wants to take a good rest first.

After the treatment was completed.

Lan Beihong would then come and take Ye Lai away, teaching him some theoretical knowledge.

For a whole week.

Ye Lai spent his days like this; these were his most relaxing days.

There's no need to worry about your parents' life force fading, nor about the eerie attacks that may strike at any moment; all you need to do is continuously improve yourself.

On the ninth day, Ye Lai's left arm showed the time it takes to enter the strange world.

Enter within fifteen days.

Later, Lan Beihong changed it to thirty days later, because the Ace Tournament of the Extraordinary Center requires entering the Strange World. Entering the Strange World of the Ace Tournament at that time would just offset this entry.

As the first match of the Extraordinary Ace Tournament, the bizarre world you enter will be completely controlled by Skynet.

This means this one thing.

⒏ьOOk·cOOm

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

It means one thing.

The safety of the participants is paramount.

The person in charge will provide full control and protection during the first match, and will teleport each participant out when they are facing certain death.

Ye had insisted on participating because he wanted the Great Xia King to intervene, expel the strangeness surrounding his parents, and prevent them from losing their life force.

Now, with the little blue pill, the problem of vitality loss can be solved very well.

So it seems that participating in the Ace Tournament is not something that must be done.

You can listen to what Zhu Yiwen said and wait until you advance to the third level before participating.

"I suggest you don't participate this time, but wait until another time."

Lan Beihong said.

"No, I want to participate this time."

Ye Lai rejected Lan Beihong's proposal.

"Um?"

Lan Beihong rarely showed a strange expression. Based on his understanding of Ye Lai, he thought Ye Lai would choose not to go for the time being, because he already knew that Ye Lai had found a solution to the problem of his parents' loss of life force.

"I need to grow up as quickly as possible."

Ye Lai said this to Lan Beihong.

After experiencing these three bizarre worlds, he realized that he was different from others. The bizarre worlds of others were at most dangerous, but there was always a way out.

The bizarre worlds he experienced almost always presented a fatal situation.

There are always some secrets that are not known to others.

Why does Tanya from the Golden Family in Happy Cinema only have Nightmare-level strength, and why is she living in a small, eerie world?

Because the Happy Cinema used the executor to kill Tanya, it led to Tan Tong triggering the world of the Murder Hospital.

And then there's Liang Mengxian in Devil Town, the King of Pure White, the Enforcer, and a history shrouded in mystery...

Although Ye Lai didn't say anything after he came out, the secret known as 'the mystery of the executive officer's background' remained in his mind.

Even though he hadn't opened it yet, he understood the weight of this secret.

Something will inevitably come looking for him and demand this secret. While the 'Destructive Starlight' grants him a second-tier exclusive class, he is also destined to bear certain responsibilities.

In addition, they possess the ability to see hidden information, redeem items in the shop, and conduct secret explorations—things known only to themselves.

Ye was certain that what had happened to him was anything but simple.

And the only thing we can do to deal with the future, which may happen at any time, is to become stronger and stronger.

Only with sufficient combat power can we face anything.

"Having the idea ofbecoming stronger as quickly as possible is correct,"

Lan Beihong was somewhat surprised by Ye Lai's words, and a smile appeared on his lips.

...

Late at night, Ye Lai did not return to his bedroom.

Instead, they went to a secluded retreat.

After seven or eight days of rest, he had almost fully recovered.

After Lan Beihong's questioning that evening, he knew it was time for him to confront the secrets he had learned in Demon Town.

The mystery of the executive officer's identity.

Ye Lai had once been given a hint that this was a secret coveted by others, so from his return until his breakthrough, Ye Lai had not shown any unusual behavior.

Reaching out, a pale white bubble appeared in Ye Lai's palm—this was the secret behind the mystery of his identity.

[Name: Shadow of the Secret (Unique)]

[Category: Secret Vehicle]

Rank: ???

[Quality: Legendary]

[Introduction: This is a secret about a legendary figure, the 'King of Pure White,' containing information about his identity. This secret is coveted by countless beings, and countless people want to know the identity of this king who appeared out of nowhere.]

⑻boOk·com

[Hint: This is a secret, and also a crisis. You have gained her power, and naturally, you also bear this danger.]

After coming out, Ye Lai never chose to open it.

Having observed the situation outside for so long, now is the time.

Pop the bubbles.

A phantom image entered Ye Lai's brow.

This illusion is nothing other than a memory.

It's still Devil Town, and it's still a brother and sister.

After enduring his mother's toxic treatments, his childhood sweetheart, and similar experiences, the older brother ultimately chose to escape by swimming, just like he had done at the beginning.

They were discovered as soon as they arrived at the dock and fought with the monsters for a long time.

Ultimately, when he was no match for the enemy, he chose to sacrifice himself, using some forbidden skill to send his sister away from the demon town.

The plot is tragic.

Coupled with Ye Lai's own experience in the Devil Town, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Liang Mengxian, that is the name of the King of Pure White."

"From a girl who was randomly grabbed by a devilish town."

"After being sent away by his brother who sacrificed his life, he wandered through countless strange worlds and eventually became a king."

"When the strange descends, ascend the throne of the King of Pure White."

The wandering experience in between is another new secret, and Ye Lai learns that the king's original identity is an extremely important secret to the king.

"Is the King of Pure White the Executive?"

"No, that can't be it. If it were, then why would the King of Pure White be called an Executor?"

"But there must be some connection between the two."

Ye Lai made his deductions based on the information he knew.

Because he initially used the power of the Executor as a Tier 1 exclusive class, he was able to enter the Demon Town in the solo eerie world.

And why is there a secret about the King of Pure White in 'The Ring from the Ancients' at Happy Cinema?

He wanted to use the store's secret exploration feature to verify his guess.

But I was shocked by the amount of crystals needed; there were just too many zeros.

"The history of the old era will also be key."

Ye thought about the historical background of Demon Town, which was in 2425, the old era before the arrival of the strange.

Ye Lai had considered looking up relevant materials, but historical documents from the old era were extremely precious treasures, and the Hongshan Central Library did not have any such collections.

It can only be found in the library of the royal city.

What is this coveted existence?

Ye Lai thought about it until his head started to ache.

"Participate in the Ace Tournament, win first place, obtain an epic-quality Tier 3 seed, kill more monsters along the way to obtain crystals, upgrade your Tier 2 professional skills to the top level within half a year, improve your professional proficiency, and then upgrade to Tier 3."

"We'll talk about the third tier later."

Ye Lai made a plan here.

To upgrade all skills of a second-tier profession to the maximum level, you need (100+200+400) x 3 + 200+500+1000 Dragon Soul Crystals.

The 300 Dragon Soul Crystals already possessed will be deducted.

That means you'll need another 3500 Dragon Soul Crystals. The remaining 500 and 1000 are for increasing your class proficiency.

Ye looked at the interface and wanted to advance to the third tier.

You need to further increase the proficiency of your Tier 1 exclusive profession, and the required Dragon Soul Crystals are actually 1000, which is the number after the beginning.

The proficiency of the second-tier exclusive profession also needs to be increased once, requiring 500 Dragon Soul Crystals.

Upgrading is really expensive...

You'd have to kill several Tanyas or Tanya's incarnations.

Ye returned to his room in the middle of the night.

The next day, after the various leaders gave him his last lesson, his theoretical course finally came to an end.

In addition to the so-called surface eerie world in Hongshan Center, there is another eerie world called the practice eerie world.

This type of eerie world is one completely controlled by the Supernatural Center, with no overlord or boss, only some basic eerie elements.

Normally, it is used by superhumans for training.

Ye Lai began his carefree days of rampage and slaughter.

The amount of blue crystals has greatly increased, and I eat breakfast every morning.

Then you enter a strange trial and kill some strange creatures inside.

They came out at the appointed time.

Let's have lunch.

We'll continue this afternoon.

In the evening, I will engage in a 1v1 battle with Jiang Tiandao in the combat training room.

Finally, satisfied, I went back to my room to sleep.

This has been his entire life for the past two weeks.

"You can't keep going down this path. Practicing the bizarre world is like playing house to you."

Zhu Yiwen said to Ye Lai earnestly, "This will make you lose your sensitivity to the rules of the supernatural. If you enter a real supernatural world, you will suffer."

Zhu Yiwen meant well for Ye Lai, but little did he know that this was an excellent way for Ye Lai to obtain the strange blue crystal.

Because of this monster-hunting experience, Ye Lai secretly exchanged for some equipment and items and hid them away.

Moreover, the variety of goods has also become more abundant.

"Every night, I fight Jiang Tiandao once, and every time, I can severely injure Jiang Tiandao, who is at the second level."

Ye Lai said to Zhu Yiwen, "Trust me, my combat intuition will never fail."

Zhu Yiwen was silent at first, then sighed with regret. He knew that the little guy in front of him was finished and had begun to turn into a mindless beast like Jiang Tiandao who only knew how to fight.

The calm and analytical genius of the past is dead.

...

It was the twenty-third day since Ye Lai returned from the solitary, bizarre world, and also the seventeenth day before the start of the Ace Tournament.

Tang Dao, the person in charge, has returned from the capital.

He looked energetic and tested Ye Lai after seeing him, discovering that Ye Lai had already advanced to the second rank.

Compared to Jiang Tiandao's mindless hack-and-slash, Ye Lai found himself struggling against Tang Dao, who was also at the second tier.

Because Tangdao will set traps for Ye Lai to fall into step by step during the battle.

Similarly, Tangdao also suffered a lot at Ye Lai's hands.

"Zhu Yiwen told me that he was worried that you would become a brainless guy because you fight with Jiang Tiandao every day. Now it seems that he was overthinking it."

After the battle, Tangdao said to Ye.

"Don't worry, I won't become a brainless guy."

Ye replied.

"I didn't expect that I would go out for half a month and you would have already reached the second level. You were able to break through within a month. This speed is rare even in the Great Xia Kingdom."

Tang Dao praised Ye Lai for his advancement, but also offered some corrections, telling Ye Lai that in addition to these, he needed to practice more and improve his proficiency with second-tier professions as soon as possible.

The Great Xia Kingdom supports geniuses. If someone can advance to the third rank within a year, they can be directly assigned to a satellite city as the head of the relevant department.

Ye Lai had no choice but to come up with his own method for playing a second-tier profession, saying that only killing the monsters was considered playing the role, and that's how he managed to fool them.

⑧ВσОk. Соm

That same evening, I returned from Tangdao.

For the first time, Jiang Tiandao didn't come to challenge Ye Lai to a fight because Tang Island held a meeting of its leaders.

...

The 100th floor of the Impermanence Hotel.

For the first time, all nine tables were full.

The reason they gathered was none other than the upcoming Ace Tournament.

The annual Ace Tournament determines the allocation of resources for the following year.

The better the team performs, the more resources they will receive.

The competition is further divided into four categories: Level 1-3 Extraordinary Individuals, Level 4 Saints, Level 5 Titled Saints, and Level 6 Saint Sect Masters.

Even the leaders themselves would fight over resource allocation.

The distribution of class-specific resources will be based on the rank corresponding to the class.

For example, in a competition for transcendents of the 1st to 3rd tiers, if a transcendent from a branch center wins first place, then resources for those of the 1st to 3rd tiers will be allocated accordingly, but resources for saints will not be allocated.

Since the saint gave the supplies to the people here, he doesn't need them.

Furthermore, to prevent 1st to 3rd tier superhumans from deliberately not breaking through in order to win resources and engage in other underhanded tactics, the Ace Tournament has many other rules.

For example, a level 1-3 extraordinary individual can only participate in the Ace Tournament once in their lifetime, while a level 4-6 saint can participate without limit, but a person cannot participate for two consecutive years.

Those at level seven and above do not need to participate in the Ace Tournament.

It automatically becomes a directly administered city, self-sufficient, and can also send people to participate in the Ace Tournament to obtain resource allocation from headquarters.

You could say that.

This is the annual grand event of the Extraordinary Center of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"I won't say much more. This time I will personally go to the capital to participate in the sixth-tier Saint Sect Ace Tournament. For the fifth-tier Title Saint Ace Tournament, one of you, Lan Beihong and Jiang Tiandao, will go."

Tang Dao sat in the middle seat, having basically finalized the lineup for the performance.

"I won't be going. There's been a strange invasion recently, so I've decided to thoroughly overhaul the Skynet system in Hongshan City. Besides, Captain Jiang is better at combat than I am."

Lan Beihong spoke gently.

"Yeah, if I don't go to the Ace Tournament, who will? I'm itching to kill someone."

Jiang Tiandao grinned maliciously, and the golden battle aura around his body began to surge forth uncontrollably.

"Dong Que will participate in the fourth-tier Saint Ace Tournament."

Tangdao continued to finalize the selection. The reason it was Dong Que was because only Dong Que was a fourth-order saint. As the central city, Hongshan City had other officials who were all titled saints.

"You took first place in the Ace Tournament for Extraordinary Individuals before, and I'm asking you to take first place again this time."

"..."

"I will win."

Dong Que nodded, indicating that this was a certainty.

As a prodigy who rose from a first-order transcendent to a fourth-order saint in just two years and became the ninth person in charge of the Hongshan Center, she had the confidence to do so. Moreover, in the past six months since becoming the person in charge, she had experienced countless assassination missions.

The reason I was away from Hongshan City for so long was because I was tasked with hunting down a degenerate, desperate-level monster, and I finally killed him at the border of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Next, we should discuss the selection of participants for the Superhuman Ace Tournament."

Tang Dao continued, "This time, no one is allowed to hold back. We must not repeat the situation from before, where people deliberately didn't participate to avoid harming their own superhumans."

"Each person in charge must bring out their own genius superhumans."

"A greenhouse can only produce flowers, not true strongmen."

8ьoOK. Cоm

© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.

All the officials nodded in agreement. It was nothing unusual; most people still believed that geniuses needed to be honed.

I can't.

Jiang Tiandao said with a terrible expression, "Mo Neng was taken away by the other party when he went to Gaoxin City last time. Now he should belong to Gaoxin City, not our Hongshan City."

Mo Neng was also the guy who was supposed to enter during the last strange invasion, but couldn't make it back because he was out. He became a superhuman in just two months and has already become a first-tier genius.

After spending a month and a half in the High-tech City, he has now become a third-tier superhuman.

The advancement speed is fast, but Jiang Tiandao is dismissive of it, believing that such advancement will inevitably have many weaknesses.

"I know about this, but he has already returned to Hongshan City, not as a student from Gaoxin City. His household registration is still in Hongshan City. He probably wants to become a top player in both cities."

Tang Dao said.

The Ace Tournament is divided into multiple rounds. The first round is a qualifying round held in each city, where one hundred extraordinary individuals are selected from each city to go to the royal capital. The top ten are also known as seeded players and will be qualified to enter the city's treasure vault.

The meeting ended in an unpleasant atmosphere, especially for Jiang Tiandao. After hearing the news from Tang Dao, his golden battle aura erupted, and he was about to kill this genius superhuman who once belonged to the center of Hongshan, but he was stopped by the others.

...

The day after Tang returned from the island, he also began teaching Ye Lai.

But he was more interested in helping Ye understand the rules of the strange world, how to exploit loopholes in the rules, and how to discover and utilize the inappropriate aspects of the rules.

The second person in charge took Ye Lai on a tour of the entire Hongshan City, learning about its people, history, and culture, and told Ye Lai that what they had to do was protect this hard-won peace.

Under these tutelages, Ye Lai began his studies again.

With only one week left before the start of the competition.

The other three members of the team who had been training outside returned. All of them were senior third-tier superhumans. After seeing Ye Lai, they also had a friendly sparring session with him.

I was shocked by Ye Lai's fighting skills and highly admire him.

Unfortunately, two of these three team members had participated in the Ace Tournament, while only one woman named Xie Bukui, like Ye Lai, had not yet participated.

Unlike the other teams, everyone in this team addressed each other as fellow apprentices.

All three members of the team are genuine geniuses. The longest time it took for the team member to reach the third rank was one and a half years, while the shortest time was nine months for Xie Bukui.

"In this ace competition, I'll take first place, and you'll take second."

Xie Bukui said this to Ye Lai.

"No, I think I should be number one."

Ye Lai disagreed with Xie Bukui's opinion.

"There's still a long way to go between you and me."

Xie Bukui said this after looking Ye Lai over.

"Don't underestimate Xiao Kui just because she's the youngest among us. She's stronger than both of us."

Xiao Changkai and Hao Wuliao said.

It should also be noted that Xie Bukui is nineteen years old this year. After graduating from a prestigious university, he entered the strange world and became a superhuman. He reached the second level after three months and the third level after six months. In the last three months, he was sent out by Tang Island for training.

That's how fast geniuses can go.

Some people, like Tan Xiaoyun, need more than a year of hard work and life-or-death trials to become a second-tier individual. This is still considered an elite. Most people, however, are stuck at the first tier.

There is another extraordinary individual in Hongshan Center who has been mentoring newcomers for five years and is still a first-tier ordinary professional. He is the most senior peripheral member of the extraordinary center.

...

The day the Ace Tournament began.

Hongshan Square is a large venue built by the Extraordinary Center, capable of accommodating 200,000 people.

8BσОK. com

However, the current population of the entire Hongshan Center has not yet reached 200,000, but only 50,000. This 50,000 includes peripheral personnel and superhumans responsible for handling administration, analysis, and other daily tasks.

Of the 120 million people in the entire Hongshan City, only 50,000 were extraordinary individuals, a probability of nearly one in five thousand. Among them, many extraordinary individuals came from other satellite cities.

Ye Lai saw some extraordinary celebrities and famous entrepreneurs at the event.

These are all people Ye Lai once wanted to be, and now they've all come to the scene, and they're sitting in the lower row, not even as high as he, as an official member.

Ye Lai also saw Tan Xiaoyun. Not long after Ye Lai entered the solo weird world, she had already reached the second level by mastering her role-playing skills.

Then there's Feng Jingqi, standing alone in the corner, exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay, like a sharp sword.

Two senior brothers, who were also members of the same team, were also in the crowd. A group of people around them were chatting enthusiastically with them; they were all extraordinary individuals who had participated in the Ace Tournament.

They were all praising each other and recounting heroic deeds.

The youngest member, Xie Bukui, didn't appear at all. Xiao Changkai told him that Xie Bukui didn't like crowds and would be teleported in from the Wuchang Hotel.

Besides.

The most eye-catching person was a sunny-looking man. What attracted attention was not anything else, but the word "Gaoxin" embroidered on the right shoulder of his shirt.

This indicates that this person is not from Hongshan City, but rather an extraordinary individual from another central city, Gaoxin City.

But why would the extraordinary individuals from Gaoxin City come to Hongshan City?

It's important to understand that in the Ace Tournament, the cities compete against each other.

Tan Xiaoyun also saw Ye Lai, came to Ye Lai's side, and said to Ye Lai, "That's Mo Neng. Do you remember when I told you about him when we entered the murder hospital? He's a genius from the Eighth Team."

Ye Lai remembered that he and Jiang Tiandao had exchanged three blows back then.

It was because Jiang Tiandao didn't trust his abilities and wanted to wait for someone else to arrive.

"But why is it in the High-tech City?"

Ye Lai was puzzled.

"Because the place he went to before was High-Tech City, where there are seeds of second-tier extraordinary power suitable for him,"

At this point, Tan Xiaoyun's face showed indignation, "But I didn't expect that he would never come back after he went there. I don't know what kind of deal Gaoxin City made with him."

"He actually became one of the top ten seeds in the High-tech City competition, so he doesn't have to participate in the competition in the High-tech City."

"I don't know what Gao Xincheng fed him, but he still advanced to the third rank in just one and a half months!!"

"That's all fine, the real problem is he still has to come back to participate in our competition!!!"

"That's outrageous! He wants to take advantage of the benefits of both cities!"

"..."

"Got it, they exploited a loophole in the household registration system."

Upon hearing Tan Xiaoyun's words, Ye Lai realized what Mo Neng had done.

The Ace Tournament consists of multiple matches.

The first competition is a contest where each city plays its own game. The central city has 100 slots, while the number of slots for satellite cities varies depending on their population.

Only those who rank within these categories can participate in the second competition.

Also known as a quota competition.

There are two rules for the quota competition. One is that the central city has the power to appoint people internally, and each city can only appoint one person. This is something that the high-tech city cannot do.

The other is competition; anyone with a household registration in the corresponding city can participate in this quota competition.
