Chapter 774: Chapter 419: 7th Lifetime: 6th Stage Returning to Void, Ancient Saint Heritage?_2
But Lu Yuan didn’t believe that pies would fall from the sky.
Even if such good things existed, it wouldn’t be his turn.
"Alright, the annual assessment begins now."
"The intelligent Brain will randomly assign opponents to you all, activate your Brain immediately and head to the virtual space to engage in combat!"
The instructor shouted loudly.
The crowd heard the words and immediately acted according to the order.
"Shua!"
The next moment.
Lu Yuan’s consciousness ascended, instantly appearing in a boundless virtual space.
He tried to move his body, discovering that the realism of this place was up to 100%, no different from the real world.
"Please choose the weapon, mecha, or combat suit you need..."
As a cold voice sounded, a plethora of equipment immediately appeared before Lu Yuan.
Magical treasures, flying swords, mecha, biological armor, C6-level laser cannon...
Various equipment were dazzling, everything that one can think of was available.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and only chose a set of Tier Four Black God Armor and a C6-level Alloy Battle Saber.
Although Tier Four mecha has decent destructive power, what’s suitable for oneself is the best.
The Black God Armor is offensive and defensive, except it doesn’t carry heavy weapons.
Its flexibility, adaptability, and recovery abilities are all stronger than mecha.
When Lu Yuan selected his weapon, a flash of light appeared in front of him.
A recruit immediately appeared before him.
However, this person’s combat strength was ranked beyond a hundred, having almost no resistance in front of Lu Yuan, and was immediately blasted into a rain of blood with a punch.
The subsequent battles were also without suspense.
Lu Yuan proceeded like a hot knife through butter, effortlessly eliminating all opponents with an invincible crushing momentum, successfully advancing to the semifinals of the final four.
"Is it you?"
However, he was a bit surprised when he saw his opponent for this round.
Only to see the opponent wearing rune armor, holding a Thunder Spear, surrounded by countless arcs of lightning.
It was Fang Sheng, who possessed a Top-Grade Mutated Thunder Spirit Root, second in the new soldiers’ combat strength ranking!
"Kill!"
Seeing Lu Yuan, Fang Sheng spoke no nonsense.
His entire figure flashed, charging towards Lu Yuan like lightning.
Before his figure reached.
The Thunder Spear in his hand twisted like a serpentine pattern, crossing several hundred meters in an instant, directly stabbing toward Lu Yuan’s brow.
"Tchi!"
Without even looking, Lu Yuan raised his saber, hacking straight onto the Thunder Spear.
In an instant.
Lightning splattered, sparks flew.
The two figures constantly collided, making the air explode around them.
They were both undoubtedly prodigies, capable of unleashing terrifying power far beyond their own realm.
Almost every strike carried the force to destroy the world, enough to easily obliterate an entire nation!
But although Fang Sheng’s strength was not bad, he was insignificant to Lu Yuan.
If it wasn’t for the assessment battle, with the intelligent Brain’s full attention.
He could crush his opponent easily in one strike.
After more than a hundred rounds.
After a ’difficult’ fight, Lu Yuan, exhausted, finally succeeded in decapitating Fang Sheng with a life-for-life strategy.
As for the subsequent final, it was no surprise.
He fought hard against Su Lianyue for a long time, ultimately breaking through during the battle, narrowly defeating her.
Successfully claiming the top spot.
When the assessment result was announced, a massive earthquake occurred throughout Celestial Shield Star!
Not only the new recruits, but even all the high-ranking officers of the Star Realm Army analyzed the battle footage frame by frame immediately.
After watching back and forth over a hundred times, they finally accepted this unbelievable fact.
Could there really be a Martial Artist capable of defeating a Celestial Spirit Root cultivator of the same level?
Is it possible that their Star Realm Army will produce a contemporary Martial God?
As the assessment concluded.
The news spread like a hurricane, quickly being known by major forces!
...
Divine Wood Star.
Star Luo Sect.
An elderly man with white hair dressed in a Star Daoist Robe stood with hands behind his back at the top of a magnificent palace, gazing at the cruel and bloody starfield battlefield.
If a cultivator was present, they would immediately recognize.
The elder before them as the foremost combatant of Divine Wood Star.
Also the founding ancestor of Star Luo Sect, Star Luo Ancestor!
His aura was restrained, constantly in a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, looking no different from an old man nearing the grave.
Yet as he gazed at the battlefield, the Dark Insect Race felt an incomparable oppressive force looming over them, slowing their fierce offensive significantly.
After all, the Insect Race, despite its massive scale, was but a minor affliction for a Returning Void Ancient Saint.
Only the vast phantom figure beyond the insect sea, a blend of illusion and reality, was the real critical threat.
This was a hyper-dimensional existence beyond reality.
Only through rituals of blood and death could it descend smoothly.
And as the war intensity escalated, every second witnessed the death of thousands of Insect Race members or Star Realm Army soldiers.
Rivers of blood, mountains of bones.
The pervasive evil qi in heaven and earth rendered the vast phantom figure increasingly real.
Even across infinite distances, it invoked a peering sense of panic and dread within him!
Tier Six Returning Void Ancient Saints, though powerful.
Yet, the Insect Hive Will was a terrifying existence comparable to a Ninth Transformation Immortal Ancestor level.
Even a mere trace of a phantom could annihilate thousands of star systems.
Should it descend, it wouldn’t just be the Prisoner Dragon Star System; even the Terran Empire would face a cataclysmic disaster.
"The Star Luo Secret Realm must be opened immediately, it can’t be delayed any longer."
"Considering the time, the Star Realm Army should have the result by now, right?"
Star Luo Ancestor casually projected a thin strand of Divine Thought.
The next moment, his eyes twitched fiercely.
Originally, he thought that little girl from the Su Family with the Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root was decent.
But who would have thought that this time, the first place in the Star Realm Army’s new soldier assessment was merely a Martial Artist?
And only with a top-grade Wind Spirit Root?
Initially, it was like placing the cart before the horse; every Secret Realm quota had already been allocated.
Everything was supposed to be mere formality.
Yet who could have expected Lu Yuan, a dark horse, to suddenly break in?
What on earth were the Star Realm Army people doing, to botch such a simple matter?
Immediately after.
A strand of Divine Thought mixed with anger instantly resonated in the ears of the Star Realm Army’s high ranks.
Lu Yuan’s qualifications are too poor?
To cancel his Secret Realm quota?
Hearing this news, all the Star Realm Army high ranks were dumbfounded.
In fact.
Before the assessment began, no one imagined Lu Yuan could consecutively defeat both Fang Sheng and Su Lianyue.
But the die was cast; they certainly couldn’t go back on their word in front of everyone, could they?
Yet if the Secret Realm quota fell to Lu Yuan, it would be hard to account for it to Star Luo Ancestor.
For a moment.
All Star Realm Army high ranks found themselves in a dilemma.
"Commander, what should we do?"
"These messes were all caused by Star Luo Ancestor himself, why should we clean up his mess?"
"I, Luo Lie, say what’s said is like spilled water; it is what it is, no matter what!"
An elder in military uniform cursed openly, slamming the table loudly.
"Lao Luo, don’t be impulsive, first establish contact; see if we can negotiate an exchange for a different reward."
One of the Star Realm Army generals sighed, speaking helplessly.
On the other side.
As the Star Realm Army high ranks argued fervently.
An unexpected person suddenly sought out Lu Yuan.
"If you transfer the Secret Realm quota to me, I can promise you any condition."
Outside the villa gate.
Su Lianyue stared at Lu Yuan, speaking in a cold voice.
"Impossible."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, rejecting her without the slightest hesitation.
Though he wasn’t particularly interested in Star Luo Ancestor’s cultivation inheritance, it was, after all, a fruit of his hard efforts.
How could he give away the quota because of a few words from Su Lianyue?
Seeing Lu Yuan’s firm attitude, Su Lianyue couldn’t contain herself any longer and could only plead bitterly.
"You are not a native of Divine Wood Star; even if you get this quota, it would be useless to you."
"Is that so? Then why do you wish to acquire this quota?"
"I have things to do, please leave."
Lu Yuan didn’t believe a word of her nonsense, directly shutting the door to send her away.
Seeing the door about to close, an intense internal struggle unfolded in Su Lianyue’s mind, finally forcing her to reveal the underlying reason.
