Chapter 145: Creatures in the Void Sea

    And the blood figure suddenly vanished, reappearing hundreds of meters away, revealing the man’s figure. He quickly reigned in his power and, expressionless, said:


    “My name is Bart, you are very strong!”


    On the other side, the stunning woman didn’t make another move either. Her demeanor shifted from the icy battle mode to one of curiosity and admiration, mixed with a strange sense of wonder as she sized up Wu Zhonglin:


    “You can call me Aria, you are the strongest freshman I have ever seen.”


    Wu Zhonglin slowly reverted from his half-dragon form back to his normal human shape, bowing with a nk expression:


    “You’re not bad either…”


    Bart, who had been expressionless, now showed a hint of a smile. He was quite pleased with the praise from such a formidable opponent.


    However, the next statement immediately wiped the smile off his face:


    “But still no match for me!”


    Wu Zhonglin, having returned to his true body in the Different Domain, underwent a major personality shift from his low-key and calm demeanor as a dark-haired youth in the subspace, bing more ostentatious.


    Expressionless, he approached the host who had reappeared at some point, and after a long moment, he said:


    “We choose to kill the Semi-god Vampire!”


    Having said this, he turned and walked away, not noticing Aria’s eyes sparkling with admiration as she ogled his muscr build.


    Aria, intrigued by his straightforwardness and power, murmured in a low voice:


    “So strong, so sexy, only a man this powerful deserves me.”


    Bart twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this:


    “Hees from China, it’s impossible for him toe over to our side, there’s no chance for you.”


    “Then I can go to him.”


    “You…go and discuss that with your father.”


    Of course, Lin Xiao couldn’t possibly hear these words. At that moment, he had just received the message that the mission for the HuaXia District had been confirmed and was checking the details, along with the rules.


    The mission was simple: A shattered ne, within which two kingdoms, each ruled by a Human Demigod and a Vampire Demigod. They each select an opponent as their mission target, the winner being the one who first kills their respective demigod target and destroys their Power of Faith.


    Judging by the mission alone, it seemed straightforward. After all, both their side and the Ivy League Alliance of High Schools had thousands of contestants, each one a Divine Being, plus a super-genius like Wu Zhonglin. Even a direct assault would easily crush their targets.


    No matter how strong a demigod was, they couldn’t possibly withstand so many opponents.


    But there were a few limitations to the mission. First, there was a percentage ofpletion. Taking their side’s task of killing the Vampire Demigod, this percentage most likely referred to the destruction of the Vampire Demigod’s Power of Faith or the Vampire Kingdom itself.


    In other words, they had to destroy the Vampire Demigod’s Power of Faith while killing him, which could be interpreted as directly annihting the Vampire Kingdom.


    The second limitation was that they were not allowed to use the Power of Faith provided by non-devout followers during this exchange mission.


    Meaning they could only use the pure Power of Faith from Divine Realm believers, and Power of Faith obtained through trade or other means was unusable.


    “Damn, this just screwed the big spenders over!”


    He turned to look at Shen Yuexin, who was visibly less cheerful with her pretty little mouth puckered up in displeasure.


    Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was rather happy about this rule. It worked in his favor, as he had previously amassed over ny million in Power of Faith for the consolidation of his Divinity, which woulde in handy now.


    The purpose of this rule was simple: to prevent pay-to-win yers like Shen Yuexin from cheating. Without restrictions, if she brought in billions of Power of Faith, she could probably pummel the Vampire Demigod to death on her own ability.


    With this rule in ce, when stripped of external Power of Faith, the amount of pure Power of Faith umted by everyone would be much less, significantly increasing the difficulty.


    That said, if faced with an irresistible danger that couldpromise their safety, they could use extra Power of Faith for self-preservation, but such an action was tantamount to automatic disqualification.


    The difficulty of the task didn’t lie in how to destroy the Vampire Kingdom or kill the God of Vampires, but in racing against the Ivy League Alliance to see who couldplete the task faster and with a higher degree ofpletion.


    The introduction of thepletion percentage meant they couldn’t directly rush in to kill the Vampire Demigod right away. They had to spread out and destroy the Vampire Demigod’s Power of Faith separately, before they could go after the Vampire Demigod himself.


    After reading the rules, many people looked up toward Wu Zhonglin, who was checking the rules himself. About a minuteter, he raised his head and announced loudly:


    “Everyone has read the rules. This is a team mission that requires our utmost cooperation toplete. As the strongest contestant of this Summer Camp, I willmand this operation.”


    emmm….


    No one could or would object to the inevitable and overwhelming, given his extraordinary strength. With ten more points in Divinity than the second- ced, he was nearly twice as far ahead.


    If the gap were only four or five points, some proud yers might have been discontent, but such a huge difference was essentially a qualitative gap, leaving no room for dissent.


    He continued to say:


    “However, I alone cannot manage everything. And since we’ll need to divide our forces to destroy the faith of the Vampire Demigodter, I n to select twelve outstanding elites from all the cadets to form a temporary management team.”


    Quite a few people were moved by this proposal, showing keen interest.


    Wu Zhonglin swept his gaze over the crowd and spoke out loud:


    “I propose, Zhang Guan, Gao Yongsheng, Jiang Xinyi, Qin Fengyan, Ding Ye…”


    He paused here, the first five names being expected choices. Aside from them, there were seven more spots avable, and several cadets eagerly anticipated as he continued to pronounce names one by one:


    “Cao HanYu, Ji Guangxuan, Geng Haifan.”


    Three consecutive names, the remaining three of the nine Gold Thrones.


    These three had managed to maintain their seats on the Gold Thrones until the end, their strength absolutely formidable andmanding respect.


    Next, Wu Zhonglin paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of people as if hesitating over whom to give the remaining four spots.


    It’s worth mentioning that among these thousands was a small group from the previously eliminated members of the Wolf Fang Team and the Fury me Team, but they had each defeated an opponent in the previous phase. Thus, the mentors of both teams kept their promise; even though eliminated, they did not simply return home but stayed to participate in the third phase exchange matches.


    Compared to the students who left disheartened in other phases, due to the exchange matches of the third phase, as long as they could win, they could still earn intent spots at high-level colleges. In two years time, as long as they meet the admission requirements of their desired college, they can be admitted unconditionally and with priority.


    “ChuYu….”


    Everyone looked at a man with many dancing photophores on the back of his head, formed by starlight, scattering twinkling stars as they whirled, dreamlike and fantastical.


    This was a leading Silver Contestant who once sat on a Gold Throne, only to be disced.


    “WangXinhe….”


    This was a man enveloped in a mist of mes, also a leading Silver Contestant.


    “Lin Xiao!”


    “Ah!”


    Startled, he looked up to see the surprised expressions of hispanions and then at Wu Zhonglin, whose gaze was fixed on the chaotic Magic Cube behind his head, which changed shape continuously within an invisible vortex. Sensing his attention return and receiving a slight nod of acknowledgment, Wu Zhonglin shifted his gaze and continued to announce thest name:


    “Shen Yuexin!”


    As if she had expected it, she blinked her beautiful, slightly bewildered eyes, cute and mischievous.


    “Please,e over for a discussion.”


    Lin Xiao… His gaze flickered to the Ancient City. This person had always assumed the role of captain, from the beginning with Yunmengxing Province’s team to the current seven-person squad, where his leadership was implicitly recognized. Everyone had naturally assumed he was the strongest, so was this a surprise turn of events?


    Well, not exactly a turn of events; he just wasn’t chosen.


    Lin Xu’s expression remained unchanged; he was self-aware and recognized his shorings. He was calm,posed, and had a very good mindset. In this regard, Lin Xiao felt he was stronger than those from the Ancient City.


    At least he could see that Ancient City, despite appearing outwardly calm, exuded an awkwardness and a subtle resentment that could be felt without an expression. Surely, he was frustrated and unwilling to ept the situation.


    No one in the squad spoke; everyone was surprised and smart enough to sense the embarrassment of the Ancient City. Who would dare say anything? Congratte the two of them?


    “Let’s go!”


    Shen Yuexin smiled slightly and said to Lin Xiao before walking out first.


    Lin Xu patted him on the shoulder, encouragingly:


    “Fight on!”


    “Yeah! Let’s all fight on!”


    He quickly followed.


    Together with Wu Zhonglin, thirteen people gathered. In a ce unseen by others, nearly a hundred figures emitting invisible distortions surrounded five towering figures observing the Void Battleship tform. One of the figures looked down at the thirteen below and nodded solemnly, saying:


    “Not a bad choice, these twelve. They are basically the strongest and most potential group here.”


    The figures nodded in agreement, and one of them said:


    “They should have already received special recruitment spots, right?”


    “What are you trying to say?”


    A sense of rm caused the speaker to pause, then heughed heartily:


    “Are you afraid we’re going to steal the ones you’ve set your sights on?”


    “Isn’t that the case?”


    “Yes!”


    “Damn!”


    ” Hahaha, nothing can be done if you say that, consider it stolen. You can only hope the contestants you’re interested in aren’t too outstanding.”


    “Damnit!”


    Their difort was met with hisughter, and the group felt helpless. These individuals were from the Super Academy, indeed more powerful than them.


    This showed that the forces within HuaXia District were not a united front, but rather had various frictions and conflicts, presenting a united front only in the face of external threats.


    Of course, this was quite normal, after all, they belonged to different factions, with each high-level college equivalent to a powerful Divine System force. Within them, the top-ranked Super Academy known as Radiance and the third- ranked War Throne, which were direct military forces, were particrly powerful.
