Chapter 197 Why didn't you say so sooner?
Tang Tianxun sighed:
"Currently, within the ruins, we know of remnants of the Three Star Civilization, the demon race, and an unidentified human race. Including us, there are four forces in total, and there may be others."
"They are all contenders."
"But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."
Upon hearing this...
Everyone swallowed hard. Good heavens, a world heritage site! They've all been inside civilization ruins before. If they could seize a recently defeated civilization's ruins, Earth's strength would grow rapidly.
But there are not only local Samsung people inside, not to mention the demon race, but also humans of unknown origin, so the danger is not small no matter how you look at it.
At this point, looking at the 300 young faces, Tang Tianxun suddenly bowed.
"sorry."
"This mission is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that none of you will return."
"After the spacetime rift disappears, you can only return to Earth by reaching the center of the ruins. In short, it will be fraught with danger."
"Whether to go or not, it's not up to you to force it."
"You have one minute to think about it."
Tang Tianxun finished speaking.
Nearly 300 people looked at each other in bewilderment and began to discuss in hushed tones.
"What should we do?"
"Are you going or not?"
"I'm not going anyway, it's too dangerous, it's no different from suicide."
"If you don't go, I won't go either. If our ancestors had all acted like you, humanity would have been wiped out by monsters long ago."
"You make it sound so good, why don't you go?"
"I....."
Most remained silent, though some were eager to act; the Great Xia Dynasty was never short of brave people.
"Li Yue, are you going or not?"
"Zhang Lei, are you going?"
"If you go, I'll go."
"Alright, let the timid starve and the bold thrive. Let's give it a shot. Even if we're about to die, we'll have each other on the road to the underworld."
"Get lost. Can't you say something nice? This is for the sake of Blue Star, after all. Even if you die, you should at least go to heaven and become a celestial soldier or general."
"Two idiots, I wouldn't dare go."
"Are you really not going? If we seize control of the ruins, we'll be heroes of Earth, with our own page in the family tree. Maybe the whole world will even erect a statue in our honor."
"Heh... I'd rather have a monument erected for you."
Half a minute passed.
Only a minority of people decided to go; there were fewer than thirty. Only a few were still undecided, while the majority remained indifferent.
in the crowd.
Xiao Weiqing noticed Ning Xing's gaze and his heart skipped a beat.
Why are you looking at me?
I just broke through the barrier, okay? I'm your apprentice, you're not sending me to my death, are you?
Ning Xing looked at his disciple without making a move for a long time before looking away.
I don't know why.
Xiao Weiqing could clearly sense a strange emotion in Ning Xing's eyes—a hint of relief mixed with a hint of disappointment.
This made Xiao Weiqing feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Then look at the other powerful figures around them.
They were all covered in blood and severely injured; some had lost an eye, others were missing an arm...
Among the crowd, Xiao Weiqing also saw Zhong Wen. The usually gentle and refined man was now in a sorry state, with a hideous scar on his face that had not yet healed.
These powerful individuals ignored their injuries and simply stood quietly, looking at the group of young people who had just turned 20.
His eyes were filled with expectation.
but.
Very few people stepped forward, which greatly disappointed them.
Even so, they still didn't say anything more.
For some reason, seeing these powerful figures made Xiao Weiqing feel increasingly uncomfortable and choked up.
Time passed by, bit by bit.
She noticed Ning Xing's gaze sweeping over her several times.
Xiao Weiqing felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
"grass!"
"I own this panel, this isn't a crisis, it's an opportunity!"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Wow!"
Xiao Weiqing suddenly stood up and roared.
The other geniuses were startled by Xiao Weiqing's roar and were a little confused.
"Who is this?"
"have no idea."
"Look at him showing off, who does he even know?"
"I don't know him. He's not in the top 100 of the ladder."
"Ha... Clown."
"You're the clown, you son of a bitch! They're freshmen, they just won first place in the exchange competition." With that, the other guy stepped forward, "Count me in!"
"Count me in too, at worst I'll just die."
"I'm going too. I want to see if this bastard from another world has three heads and six arms."
"I'm going too!"
Count me in.
"..."
Whether provoked by Xiao Weiqing or simply unwilling to be outdone, dozens of people stepped forward, all expressing their desire to go.
At least half of the top 100 on the ladder have stepped forward, and seven of them are in the top 10.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"With you all, what do we have to fear from the demon race?"
At this moment, Xiao Weiqing's eyelids drooped, and he was on the verge of tears. Hearing more and more people shouting "I'm going!" "Me too!" made him feel so miserable.
You guys should have said so earlier.
If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have gone.
NND!
Can I back out now?
The team, which originally consisted of fewer than fifty people, instantly grew to over a hundred.
"Time's up!"
Those who have decided not to go, please go home first.
Some of the powerful individuals took their students and juniors away. Although they didn't say anything, everyone could see the disappointment in their eyes.
Lu Youlin said:
"On behalf of Daxia, I thank you all for your courage."
Lu Youlin waved, and staff brought over several boxes.
"Two bottles of each of the following: Level 5 Qi Gathering Pills, Muscle Regeneration Pills, and Spirit Gathering Pills."
Wow, I made it!
The crowd gasped in surprise.
They had only heard of level 5 pills, but never used them, because each level 5 pill costs 5,000 points. In daily cultivation, who would be willing to consume level 5 pills unless they were rich? Even if they were rich, they wouldn't waste them like that.
Now, we're giving them two bottles for free, ten pills per bottle. That means each of the geniuses present will receive 30 points for free.
A grand gesture.
The 108 geniuses lined up, received their pills in turn, and stood before the spacetime rift.
among them.
The four realms have 12 positions.
Ranked 69th in the Three Realms and Three Barriers.
The 26th person to break through the second level.
There was another exception, Xiao Weiqing, who had just broken through the barrier.
"Xiao Weiqing, right? He's a man, unlike those cowards," a woman with a ponytail praised.
Xiao Weiqing turned his head and replied awkwardly:
"Senior, you flatter me."
"Hey, Xi Xiaolan, when you call them cowards, don't drag me into it," said a young man with a buzz cut.
Xi Xiaolan, ranked in the top three of the second-year ranking ladder, possesses a level 6 extraordinary talent and is extremely powerful.
"Hmph, they're all the same, cowards!"
Xi Xiaolan raised her fist at the short-haired youth, leaving him helpless. He had experienced Xi Xiaolan's fists before; they were utterly violent.
"Time's up!"
May you all return victorious!
Everyone faced the spacetime rift without hesitation.
"The wind is howling..."
"roll!"
"Wang Chenghao, can't you say something auspicious for once?"
"Oh, okay, today's a good day, whatever you're thinking..."
"You should just shut up. Your singing is worse than crying."
"Tch, you should cherish the time you spend with the heroes of Great Xia. Once I emerge from the ruins, you'll have to make an appointment to see me again."
"You? If you manage to seize the ruins, I'll do a handstand and poop."
"Hahaha... It's a deal, see the ruins."
The first genius stepped into the spacetime rift.
then.
No one hesitated any longer.
They stepped in one after another.
As the last one, Xiao Weiqing was still filled with regret, lamenting inwardly, "Why didn't you say so sooner...?"
"Because of the divine charm, the four realms are all somewhat suppressed, and few people in the three realms are my match, so the stage is very large, so don't panic."
Xiao Weiqing comforted himself.
Without slowing down, we stepped into the spacetime rift.
Two hours after everyone entered the spacetime rift.
The spacetime rift slowly closed.
Tang Tianxun said, "Leave one demon-suppressing legion behind, and the rest of you go back and wait for news."
"Hopefully it's good news."
"Whether it's good or bad, I'm afraid of not hearing anything."
Yes, the worst thing is no news. It means that all the geniuses who went into Great Xia have been wiped out.
