Chapter 634 - 199: Weapon Concepts and Peak Rankings
The 50 players who entered the Reverse Tide Training Camp in five batches all generally failed the tests.
However, Elder You considered the early poor performance but later astonishing achievements of the Liver Emperor Group, and still granted new slots.
To be able to subsequently issue 50 slots is already very generous.
Normally, even the ordinary logistics groups in the Reverse Tide Army only get a few dozen slots per year.
So every player who enters the Reverse Tide Army actually feels enormous pressure.
They must perform excellently, or they will block the road for later entrants into the Reverse Tide Army.
The reputation of the Player Clan food hall battle has already been established in the Snow Valley Training Camp, with each batch being masters of enduring hunger.
Although their ability quality significantly lags behind the elite of various clans, the players’ ability to endure hunger is unmatched by the rookies of any race.
When faced with bullying, they retaliate with hunger.
The Liver Emperor Group has paved a path to victory for those who follow.
Staying up late, facing hunger, no matter how strong-willed a trainee is, under the blow of these two cyclical tactics, they would become disheartened.
...
Third-term training camp, Poison Sting Camp.
A dense fog like a silver ocean surges between the bottomless ravines.
Two steep peaks stand opposite like two poison stingers piercing the clouds.
Connecting the two peaks is a suspension bridge made of Energy Baryte, its body glowing with a faint blue light, like a glowing ribbon in the twilight.
The main buildings of the Poison Sting Training Camp are embedded in the peak on the right side, with seven towering towers arranged in an Array node format.
At the top of each tower is a large Star Stone, emitting lights of different colors: blood-red like blood, sea-blue like the ocean, jade-green like jade... These lights interweave in the dense fog, casting brilliant halos.
Turning the view to the left peak, an expansive training field appears at its top.
The ground is paved with slabs made of Star Stone as the main material, automatically absorbing energy particles from the air, and transforming them into Spirit Fog to be emitted.
This is also the reason why the two peaks are shrouded in dense fog all the time.
Strange sounds occasionally echo from the canyon below, like the breathing of some giant creature.
In reality, it’s the ripples produced by the resonance of Star Stones and natural energy, reflecting back and forth between the rock walls, forming a unique rhythm.
At this moment, a figure is suspended a thousand feet skyward, arms crossed before him, his black robe fluttering like an ink-black banner tearing through the sky.
Though there’s nothing beneath his feet, it seems like he’s stepping on invisible stairs.
Beneath the black robe, his muscles are as knotted as coiled dragons and crouched tigers, each muscle forged through countless tempers, glowing with a metallic sheen in the moonlight.
His shoulders are as broad as mountains, his chest like iron, the creases on his waist and abdomen as if carved by a knife, containing explosive Strength.
The floating figure is the chief instructor of the third-term training camp: Shi Xiuluo.
He watches the thousand-odd figures on the training field coldly, his neck muscles bulging like steel bars, and his Adam’s apple rolls as if thunder brewed within.
"Silence!"
His sudden voice is like a thunderclap, sweeping violent energy across the training camp below, causing the thousands of whispering trainees to immediately quiet down.
"Tomorrow is the day to choose combat transformations, but instead of letting you sleep tonight, I’ve summoned you because I’ve received news from the front line. The front line commander is about to act, giving you a chance to witness a true peak confrontation."
"Be ready."
After speaking, Shi Xiuluo nodded to the nearby instructors.
The ready instructors made their moves, quickly sketching Spiritual Patterns beneath the trainees’ feet, generating a massive Array that enveloped all the trainees.
At this moment, Li Zheng nudged Ghost Pupil beside him with his elbow:
"Tongzi, what is the Array under our feet?"
"It’s an Array that projects front line images. Does your Player Clan not even have something like this?"
"Our Player Clan is really poor, just waiting for you to give me a necklace to sell for food, when will you repay me."
"When did I agree to give it to you, scram." Hearing Li Zheng mention the necklace again, Ghost Pupil moved a step aside with a disdainful look.
"Cheating dog."
"Treacherous person."
Just then, the projection Array activated, immediately assembling countless images before Li Zheng and others.
What appeared in front of them was a mountain-like huge figure.
He leaned back on a throne built of mountains, with shoulder and back muscles rising like peaks, stretching his Battle Armor almost to breaking point. His knuckles were like stone pillars, palms full of calluses, and every wrinkle engraved with ancient Runes.
Just the action of clenching his fist produced fine cracks in the surrounding space.
This imposing figure required no words, merely sitting there made Li Zheng and others feel suffocated.
With each breath, the explosive Strength contained in the massive body seemed like a surging volcano, ready to erupt at any moment and crush everything around.
One could even see the solidified Suppression formed around this figure, making the air viscous and even the light warp around him.
When his gaze swept across the trainees, even though it was just a projection illusion, all the trainees felt as if a mountain pressed down on their chests.
The sight of those red eyes of this figure not only exuded majesty but also emanated Evil Qi tempered through countless life-and-death trials.
It seemed as if he desired, a single look could scatter the souls of all living things.
Li Zheng and the other Liver Emperor Group players immediately used Decomposition to scan.
Instantly, the analysis information appeared in their minds:
[Floating Tomb (Reverse Tide Army Commander)]:
Hunting Level: Demigod Level
Target description: Commander of the 138th Reverse Tide Legion, one of the War Gods under Reverse Tide.
...
"Looks really strong." Seeing the "Demigod" evaluation in the Hunting Level information, Li Zheng was momentarily stunned.
