In the Martian Colony Governor's office, the Big Tree arrived just in time after the list of 20 blueprints had been delivered. He sat opposite the Governor with a smile on his face. The two of them chatted happily as they looked at the blueprints that had been delivered.
"This blueprint is very creative. It uses an array formation as its core and absorbs the sealing power from the Divine Armament Catacombs to strengthen itself …" The Martian Colony Governor picked up a jade slip. She smiled after looking at it and handed it to the Big Tree.
The Big Tree took the jade slip and looked through it. He noticed that the person who had delivered the blueprints was Zhuo Yixian of the Five Generation Sky Clan. He smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. He pointed at a jade slip and handed it to the Governor.
"I think this one is very good too. The entire city is shaped like a ring and is divided into three rings. While they are connected, they also incorporate the power of mirror images. Not only can it perfectly accommodate the relocation of the population, but it has also taken into consideration the resistance to the radiation from the Divine Armament. This is the rarest of all."
The Martian Colony Governor looked over and saw Li Yi's name. She swept her gaze across the Big Tree and smiled.
"Not bad. She can be chosen as a candidate."
The Big Tree smiled and didn't say anything. He continued looking through the blueprints in the jade slips. Just like that, they looked through all 20 blueprints and selected nine candidates.
However, when it came to the final tenth spot, there were some different opinions.
"Governor, I think that the blueprint of Councilman Chen's son, Chen Lu, fits the requirements better. As for Wang Baole … although his blueprint isn't bad, it is obviously exaggerated. I don't believe that there is any city in this world that dares to claim that it is indestructible." The Big Tree shook his head. He couldn't be bothered to put in the effort to suppress Wang Baole. After all, everyone knew that he didn't like Wang Baole. He might as well not hide his thoughts and speak his mind.
At the same time, they also found it strange that Wang Baole's jade slip blueprint could enter the top twenty. One had to know that every person who could enter the top twenty had a faction backing them up. That was how they were able to clear the various stages and emerge victorious from the numerous applicants before finally being sent to them.
Many of those who had been eliminated before making it into the top 20 were people of considerable power. However, Wang Baole had made it into the top 20. It was obvious that Wang Baole had put in a lot of effort.
But so what? The Eternal Fortress might look good, but it's too exaggerated. Even if Wang Baole has the support of others, he won't be able to do anything. The giant tree sneered inwardly as he looked at the Governor.
The Martian Colony Governor didn't say anything. She picked up Wang Baole's blueprint and looked at it carefully. She was deep in thought. She seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. In fact, both the Three Moon Group and Lin You had put in a good word for her. Even the Ethereal Dao College's Sect Leader had communicated with her a few days ago.
It was already impressive to be able to get help from three different factions. Furthermore, she had received a voice transmission from her dao partner the day before. It was said that the military had found her dao partner …
"This Wang Baole is really good at causing trouble." The Martian Colony Governor's eyes were cold. She wasn't averse to greeting others, but even she felt that Wang Baole's blueprint was too exaggerated. She agreed with the Big Tree's point of view. Hence, she was about to put down Wang Baole's jade scroll when … her voice transmission ring rang.
The Martian Colony Governor looked down, and a smile appeared on her face. She stood up and walked to the side, shielded her surroundings, and sent a voice transmission.
As for the Big Tree, he sat there with his usual expression. He had noticed the Martian Colony Governor's expression and knew that Wang Baole wouldn't be a candidate this time.
This was a small matter to him, and he didn't care too much about it. Instead, he picked up Li Yi's blueprint and looked at it carefully. After all, he had promised the four major Dao Colleges that he would fully support them. Hence, he had given some suggestions on the blueprint. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was.
Not long after, the Martian Colony Governor ended the voice transmission and walked back. She sat there and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she smiled and pointed at Wang Baole's jade scroll.
"We'll choose Wang Baole as the last candidate."
The Big Tree raised his head when he heard this. His eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at the Martian Colony Governor. Then, he seemed to be deep in thought. He recalled the voice transmission from before and was puzzled. However, he didn't show it on his face and nodded in agreement.
Just like that, the list of ten candidates was finalized. The next day, it was announced to all of Mars and spread throughout the Federation. Instantly, the ten candidates attracted the attention of many parties.
Among the ten candidates, there were Kongdao, Li Yi, and Zhuo Yixian. There were also six other candidates from the Galactic Dusk Sect, the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, and the Senate. However, these people weren't well-known. After all, the qualification requirement this time was to hold a position on Mars beforehand. Hence, these candidates could only be considered representatives.
In reality, they weren't important. What was important was the influence of the factions behind them. At the same time, the candidate chosen by the Senate wasn't Lin Tianhao. Although Lin Tianhao met the requirements, he gave up on the application after communicating with his father.
There were also candidates from the Three Moon Group, but it wasn't Kim Do-myung.
As for the last candidate, it was Wang Baole!
Wang Baole's name appeared on the list of candidates. Those who weren't in the know wouldn't be surprised. After all, Wang Baole's fame and strength, as well as his background in the four major Dao Colleges, made him qualified to be on the list.
However, those who were in the know were very surprised when they saw the list. For example, the White Deer Dao College approached the Ethereal Dao College immediately after seeing the list. Their words were very harsh, obviously worried that they would cause a misunderstanding with the Big Tree.
The Ethereal Dao College Sect Master was actually very angry at the harsh words of the White Deer Dao College. He decided to explode once, but in the end, the matter was left unsettled because of the unhappiness.
At the same time, Li Yi was annoyed when she saw Wang Baole's name. However, considering her own cultivation, she suppressed her disgust and sent a voice transmission to Wang Baole to congratulate him in a sweet voice.
Wang Baole didn't even reply to Li Yi's voice transmission. After seeing that he had become a candidate, he was extremely excited. He quickly sent a voice transmission to Kim Do-myung, Lin You, and the military to thank them. After some thought, he also sent a voice transmission to the Ethereal Dao College Sect Master to greet him.
At the same time, the Ethereal Dao College Sect Master, who knew about the list, smiled bitterly and was speechless.
After that, Wang Baole began to make full use of the time to refine the construction-type puppets.
Wang Baole knew very well that becoming a candidate was only the first step. In the final assessment, he didn't have any advantage at all. After all, the assessment this time was extremely unfair to a certain extent. This was because every candidate could bring ten thousand servants with them!
Wang Baole didn't meet this condition at all unless he brought the students of the college over.
However, this was obviously unreliable. After all, he had made some inquiries. There were still some dangers in the assessment this time. The Martian Colonial City didn't provide any protection to the servants. They only gave each candidate a jade slip. Once crushed, they could use the array patterns in the jade slip to establish a connection with the Great Array of Mars and be teleported back to Martian City.
The operation of this Great Array was extremely costly and couldn't be popularized. Therefore, only the candidates had the right to be teleported. However, with the shrewdness of the various factions, they were obviously prepared for this. Each of them had a follow-up plan to ensure the greatest degree of safety for the servants.
Even so, Wang Baole was still full of fighting spirit.
"This time, it's a battle of wits … Looks like I have to prepare well." Wang Baole began his preparations with fighting spirit. He even bought some wood and made some statues …
At the same time, he modified his megaphone to make a giant version … and so on. When he was fully prepared, he felt that his fighting spirit was even stronger.
It was just that … this fighting spirit was ignited on the day of the New Mars Region's assessment. When he arrived at the Martian spaceport on his donkey, Wang Baole stared blankly at the huge crowd surrounding him. He couldn't help but tremble.
Ten huge cruisers were parked in the spaceport. They were spread out, and there was an empty space around each cruiser that could accommodate ten thousand people.
At this moment, nine of the ten cruisers were surrounded by a dense crowd … Only one cruiser had an empty space around it, and Wang Baole … was standing there.
The contrast was simply too stark …
Wang Baole was a little short of breath. He saw Li Yi and the army of ten thousand cultivators behind Li Yi. The weakest among them were at the peak of the Ancient Martial Realm, and there were many True Breath cultivators. There were even more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. Many of them were from the Ethereal Dao College … They also noticed Wang Baole, and their expressions were unnatural and filled with guilt.
Wang Baole didn't notice their guilt. At this moment, he was deeply shocked by Li Yi's aura. As he took a deep breath, the ambition in his heart was instantly reduced by half … Then, he saw Kongdao, Zhuo Yixian, and the other candidates. Without exception, each of them had an army of ten thousand people behind them.
These nine candidates seemed to form nine teams in the spaceport. Their aura was shocking, and it was enough to shock everyone who saw them.
Seeing ten thousand people with one's own eyes and imagining it in one's mind were two completely different things. Wang Baole was like that now. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now, his eyes were wide open, and his expression changed. He looked at the nine teams around him, then swept his gaze across the empty space around him. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the donkey under his butt, which was clearly frightened as well. He couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
His arrival quickly attracted the attention of all parties. It was really … impossible not to notice. After all, his own and the other families were all standing in their respective positions in a grandiose manner. Only Wang Baole's area was empty … There was only one person and a donkey.
That feeling of loneliness and emptiness was especially desolate … Whether it was Li Yi, Kongdao, or the other candidates, all of them had strange expressions on their faces. Many of them even started to mock him.
"What's the big deal? I can still kill all of them alone. Scram, don't you agree? Come, come, come, tell me what they are!" Wang Baole suppressed his guilt, gritted his teeth, and slapped the donkey's head.
The donkey also suppressed its trembling. After being slapped, it quickly roared at the surroundings.
"Son! Son! "
