Tang Ling's gaze was captivated by the Stamen Nine Lotus, but truth be told, he was not as excited as he expected.
Yes, the Stamen Nine Lotus was a legendary flower, so of course he would be excited to see it. However, what was so good about the Stamen Nine Lotus? What was the use of it? Tang Ling had no idea.
Of course, it would be great if he could get his hands on it since the materials needed to advance to a Purple Moon Warrior had to be of a higher tier.
That was what Tang Ling thought in his mind. It was more or less an understatement.
However, when Liszt saw the legendary flower, his feelings were completely different. The Stamen Nine Lotus! It really is the Stamen Nine Lotus!
What is the use of this flower? Liszt knew it very well. Others might not know, but he knew what the flower represented.
As long as he could get his hands on the Stamen Nine Lotus, would it matter what happened in the past? No matter how much Tang Ling had the upper hand, would it matter? Nothing else mattered anymore. He could even calmly watch Tang Ling suppress him for a period of time.
In the end, he would have the upper hand, and if Tang Ling knew what was good for him, he would surrender and become one of Kun's generals.
By then, with Tang Ling's intelligence, he would understand the situation, would he?
Excited, Liszt clenched his fists tightly. He knew his chance was in this battle. If he could buy enough time, the Stamen Nine Lotus would be his.
Kun was still announcing the rules calmly. The summary of the rules was not complicated. It was nothing more than the pursuit of fairness. The gist of it was that every ship had a different number of crew members, and in order to avoid unfair situations, each ship would retain five fixed crew members, including the captain. The rest of the crew members would be randomly distributed to each ship.
In short, the crew members of each ship had to be evenly distributed. Even if a few ships had one or two extra crew members, it would be based on strength. In other words, the ships that were weaker would have more crew members.
It was understandable since there were more than a thousand young warriors and a few hundred ships. It was not an absolute probability to get an average number of crew members.
It was extremely fair! After all, everyone's Tidal Power would be concentrated on one ship.
Of course, the captain had a small privilege. He could choose the remaining four fixed crew members other than himself.
The announcement of the rules ended. As for the rules of the Nirvana Tower, they would find out once they entered the tower.
After that, Kun gave the young captains five minutes to make their choice.
Whether it was forty minutes or one hour, the countdown would start after all the youths officially entered the Nirvana Giant Pagoda.
Five minutes might seem tight, but it was actually more than enough. After all, not every captain had to make a choice, and the resource season this time was already extremely unbalanced.
There were about 20 to 30 people on Liszt's ship. Of course, about 10 of them were service personnel. However, these people were still in deep sleep and could not be woken up no matter what.
Among the grass-root boats that followed Tang Ling, many of them only had two or three people on board. Some of them even had a lone person on board, so there was no need for him to choose.
"Han Xing, Dongyang, Higan, and Fatty." Tang Ling quickly made up his mind. In his mind, his priority was to keep the strongest team alive so that he could fight for more benefits for everyone on the Harvest.
However, Fatty was still unconscious, so Tang Ling had no idea what would happen after he entered the Nirvana Tower. Would he run into a cooperative battle? Naturally, they couldn't allow him to be randomly assigned.
As for Higan, Tang Ling did not want to hide his selfishness. He just wanted to be with her. Moreover, Higan's strength was unfathomable. Even if her strength would be restricted in the outside world, what was there to worry about in the Dream Domain?
To Tang Ling's surprise, right after he made his choice, Kun, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke.
"Higan doesn't have to participate in this test. She just needs to wait for the results from the Harvest."
Tang Ling looked up abruptly. All the other young warriors were shocked. Was the queen that special?
However, Kun did not know how to explain. He even used a little trick to silence Tang Ling. He was too lazy to argue with Tang Ling.
Tang Ling understood that Kun was not even willing to give him a chance to fight for the position. All he could do was smile bitterly at Higan and point at Xi Feng.
He originally did not want the four of them to be separated because he thought there was a high chance that the four of them would be randomly assigned to the same team.
As for Ro Li, Tang Ling wanted to choose him from the start, but because of Fatty, Ro Li had to suffer for the time being.
On top of that, Ro Li's unique fighting style was to rely on his puppets, so even if he ran into a relatively weak team, he could still escape unscathed. At least, his life would not be in danger.
On top of that, Tang Ling bought a group of 12 of the best Level 2 puppets in the black market for Ro Li. Level 2 puppets were the limit that Ro Li could control, so it was an extra layer of protection for him.
Tang Ling was not worried that the people on the Harvest would not be able to clear the first three tests. Tang Ling's confidence in them was similar to his confidence in himself.
On top of that, during the crazy purchase in the black market, Tang Ling also took good care of his friends. He bought suitable resources and equipment for them and brought them with him at all times, just like Tang Ling's life-saving leather bag. In the Purple Moon era, Tang Ling had a belief that never changed, which was to be ready for battle at all times. The belief also affected his friends.
Due to various reasons, since Higan could not participate in the test for some unknown reason, he had to take care of the other girl on the Harvest.
After all, Tang Ling firmly believed that a team with him was the strongest team!
The crew members on the Harvest did not object to Tang Ling's decision. They did not even ask for the reason.
On the other hand, when Kun saw that Tang Ling had chosen a new teammate, he removed the power that sealed Tang Ling's mouth.
He even said something as if his conscience was awakened.
"To be fair."
Then, a faint green energy landed on Fat Finn's forehead and he woke up!
"I-I …" Fat Finn was dumbfounded when he saw the scene. He stuttered as he could not understand what was going on.
The five minutes were almost up. Tang Ling pulled Fat Finn over and said, "I don't have time to explain now. All you need to know is that we've entered the Death Mist Zone and reached the core area smoothly."
"What?!" Fat Finn widened his eyes.
Tang Ling covered Fat Finn's mouth and continued, "Don't ask anything. After we entered this damned core area, we somehow ended up in the Dream Domain. Then, we have to enter this so-called Nirvana Tower to fight. In short, the rules of the battle are the same as in the Dream Domain. I don't have to explain it to you, do I? "
Fat Finn blinked a few times, his eyes showing panic and anxiety. What kind of joke is this? Did I enter the dream again? God knows how much fear and trauma I have towards the dream!
Tang Ling ignored Fat Finn and continued, "You can't run away because everyone's battle will affect the fate of the whole ship. If you want to save us, even if everyone on the Harvest dies, including your beloved Xi Feng, you must try your best to survive! If you don't want to, then fight! Understand? Fight! "
When Tang Ling mentioned his beloved Xi Feng, Xi Feng glared at Fat Finn fiercely, but the panic in Fat Finn's eyes faded a lot.
When Tang Ling repeated the word 'battle', Fat Finn's vision somehow blurred as if he saw himself floating on the blood sea again. He saw the rune chains around his body and the broken holes on his body.
At that very moment, it felt like a shadow was trying to break free from his body. Fat Finn suddenly screamed, grabbed his head, and started to roll on the ground.
Tang Ling panicked when he saw the situation. What's going on? Could it be that Kun …
It was at that moment that Kun's voice entered Tang Ling's ears.
"I don't have the mood to do anything to a fatty. His current condition is due to his own condition. He'll be fine in a while.
But since you've been thinking about me so much, you better be careful in the Nirvana Tower. "
"Motherf * cker!" Tang Ling cursed Kun in his heart. He really was a petty man who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance! However, Tang Ling was also scared. He did not have the courage to scold Kun, so he seized the time and took out a small leather pouch from his backpack and passed it to Fat Finn who was still rolling on the ground.
"This is something that belongs to you. With your knowledge, you should know how to use it. I'll just …" Tang Ling said as he quickly tied the leather pouch around Fat Finn's waist.
Higan sat calmly at the edge of the halo and looked at Tang Ling with a gentle gaze. For some reason, Tang Ling's current 'nanny' was especially heartwarming. It was filled with a charm that could move one's heart.
Tang Ling did not know what was going through Higan's mind because Fat Finn suddenly quieted down. He let go of his head and pushed Tang Ling's hands away. He looked at Tang Ling as if he was a stranger. Then, he licked his lips and glanced at the Nirvana Tower before him. He chuckled coldly and muttered to himself, "Hmph, fight, is it?"
What's wrong with Fat Finn? Tang Ling was confused. Just when he wanted to ask, the slightly deranged expression on Fat Finn's face disappeared and was replaced by a fearful gaze.
"Tang Ling, did you give me a leather pouch just now? What's inside? Something that can save my life in a critical moment? I … "
Tang Ling was speechless. Did Fat Finn lose his mind? He was not too clear about Fat Finn's condition and neither did the people on the Harvest.
It was at that moment that Kun's voice sounded again.
"Time's up. Get ready to enter the Nirvana Tower!"
