Those people of the upper class were all the elites of the Imperium of True Human Beings. They were the kind of people who could deliver important speeches on the news every now and then. They came from all walks of life. Some of them were tough generals who commanded thousands of soldiers, some were big shots of finance and capital who could easily leak trillions of funds through their fingers, and some were the specialists and professors from the famous universities and research centers of the Imperium. Everybody was emitting vague arrogance. Sometimes, there were a few young, beautiful stars of the entertainment industry who were smiling like flowers. They all looked like humble servants.
However, even the fiercest and most ferocious generals were wearing loose and exquisite casual clothes at this moment, talking and laughing with a relaxed expression.
It was an informal party. It was more like a place for the big shots of various parties to relax themselves. In an open design, all kinds of invaluable delicacies, such as the Hidden Spirit Fish Roe from Qilian, the Nine Illusionary Snake Blood Wine from the Silver Ring Planet, and the Shocking Crane Liver that was even more precious than the high-quality marrow crystals of the same weight, were all placed on the long table that was covered in a white cloth for the honorable guests to take whatever they wanted.
Many people were holding their wine glasses and looking at the war games around them, talking to each other with a smile.
"General Gu, there must be a lot of promising talents among the newcomers for the trial this year, right? I can see that three of the top fifty on the total ranking are from your 'Bone Breaking Hammer Troop'. No wonder you secured such a glorious victory in the frontline!"
"You're flattering me. Speaking of promising talents, the 'Sky Pillar Group' is the most important. Even the trial of your employees has to be carried out in such a dangerous battlefield in the Land of Sins. You truly have a strict recruitment standard, and the quality of your employees is quite remarkable, too!"
"We dare not compare ourselves to the military. We are just expanding the banks and financial institutions under our name on a large scale, preparing to march into the territory that the Imperium has just recovered. Therefore, we need to raise a batch of new financial talents. That's why we've sent some promising talents here to test their temperament. They are not necessarily required to complete any dangerous missions. However, if they have never killed a hundred people, drank their blood, and tasted their flesh, how can they be involved in finance? Don't you think so?"
"That makes sense. Look, this year's Yuwen family and Li family's newcomers are also very powerful. The geniuses of these big families are really like carps crossing the river, emerging endlessly!"
"Of course, the Yuwen family is a big family with a history of more than seven hundred years. Not only does it control two extremely developed worlds, its influence also extends to the financial and media sectors of the empire. Every branch of the family can be said to be a gathering of heroes. How could there not be a lot of young geniuses? As for the Li family, it was needless to mention that it was one of the four Kurfürst families! I've heard that this year is the year when the Li Clan's newcomers emerge. Many super geniuses have emerged from various branches of the clan. For the sake of better development in the clan in the future, they're currently fighting fiercely in the underworld. The Li Clan seems to have given a death rate of 20%. They don't care at all if three to eight super geniuses die! "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Kurfürst families are indeed different from the common noble families. A 20% casualty rate in the trial is something that even the special forces of the military do not dare to set as stringent a standard as that!"
"That's right. Even Li Lingfeng, the pillar of the middle generation of the Li family and our 'uncle of the emperor', has come to this place to host the selection trials of the newcomers of the Li family in person!"
"What? Even Li Lingfeng is here? Wuying Lan is truly remarkable to have invited such a great person. His' Manjusaka 'is getting more and more splendid and prosperous! "
While the big shots of the military, finance, capital, and media were talking and laughing, a lot of young people who were young but indifferent were also gathered.
They were mostly the descendants of noble families that the big shots doted on, but they were not old enough to take part in the trials yet. They had followed the big shots to broaden their horizons, get to know their uncles, and cheer for their brothers and sisters who were fighting in the Land of Sins.
Judging from where the young people were standing like stars around the moon, it was not hard to tell that the young people in the middle, who were wearing pure black uniforms with the word 'Li' painted on the chest, were in the highest position.
It was only natural because they were all from the Li family, one of the four Kurfürst families.
Years later, one or a few of them might even have the chance to decide who the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings would be.
Therefore, although they were still young, their faces were no longer as innocent and tender as usual. Wearing a transparent layer of frost, they were commenting on the bloody light beam and pointing at the world as if they were serious, as if they were miniature versions of the big shots in the circle.
"Brother Lie's performance is not bad. Twenty-two pigs have been slaughtered the moment the battle began. His breathing, heartbeat, and secretion of adrenaline are all rather stable. His fluctuation is no more than 1%. How impressive!"
A young girl who looked pure, innocent, and beautiful said with a smile.
"It is indeed stable, but it lacks passion. I prefer Brother Shan's style. When his breathing, heartbeat, and adrenaline are all boosted to the maximum, he is bold enough to kill anybody when he goes crazy. Ha. Look. Even a pig of the Yuwen family has been butchered by Brother Shan. He will kill anyone who stands in his way!"
Another tall, burly, and arrogant young man said.
Seeing the flashing saber on the light beam, the falling head, the spurting blood, and the cramping body, the successors of the Li family finally showed their youthful temperament and cheered.
Not far away from them, some other young men who had 'Yuwen' embroidered on their chests were glaring at them with awful expressions.
"Excuse me. The people of the Li family are always so outspoken. If we accidentally hurt your fragile heart …"
The proud young man of the Li family said to the infuriated young men of the Yuwen family, "Just hold it in! If you are not convinced, after the Battle of Liberty City is over, we can ask Wuying Lan, the owner of this place, to arrange a free competition for us so that we can compete in the Land of Sins. "
"Great! Great!"
The innocent, beautiful girl clapped her hands and smiled. "After all, after the Battle of Liberty City is over, we will have a few days of free time to experience the atmosphere of the Land of Sins and prepare for our own selection trials next year. Why don't we invite you to go with us? Even I would like to know how the pigs of the Yuwen family feel when they are slaughtered! "
The young men of the Yuwen family were infuriated. They all made killing gestures and hinted at the Li family. "It's a deal. Just wait for it!"
The youths from the other large clans were all stirring up trouble out of nothing and fanning the flames. They immediately shouted and cheered for both sides.
It was just a minor riot that did not raise the interest of the adults at all. The young men intimidated each other for a while before they focused their attention on the battlefield that was getting more and more intense and bloody.
Skulls exploding, human flesh charred, internal organs turned into a fine mist of blood smeared on the terrified faces of those who came later … These scenes stimulated the youths' exuberant appetites, and more than half of the food was swept clean by them like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds.
However, in the middle of the exclamations of the young men of the Li family, discordant noises echoed. One of the young men was retching.
It was a slim, feminine young man who looked like a lamb covered in wolf's skin. He was entirely different from the aggressive, cold, and ruthless young men around him.
He knew himself very well, too. He had been hiding in the shadows, hesitating and flinching, not having the courage to join other people's discussion.
It seemed that it would be the greatest happiness for him as long as nobody else discovered his existence.
However, the pictures of the battlefield on the light beams around him were too bloody and exciting. No matter how he dodged, he still happened to see a three-dimensional, vivid head exploding like a watermelon. Some red and white things seemed to have splashed into his mouth.
He immediately shut his mouth, but he felt that he could not catch his breath. Even though he breathed heavily, he still could not hold back the feeling of nausea. His head and his stomach were both overflowing with discomfort. He could not help but cover his mouth with a napkin and secretly retch. But as it turned out, he was too loud and was still discovered by everybody.
The young men of the few noble families nearby all looked at him in surprise.
Further away, the young men of the Yuwen family all noticed the weird guy. They all looked at him in mockery.
The young men of the Li family blushed all of a sudden, before their faces turned gloomy.
"Li Jialing, what's the meaning of this? Do you have to humiliate the Li family in public?"
The young man who provoked the Yuwen family just now was more than infuriated. He rushed close and grabbed the collar of "Li Jialing", who was retching, and bellowed.
"Mud is mud, garbage is garbage, and pustules are pustules!"
The pure, innocent, and beautiful girl also showed an expression of extreme disgust. "I really don't know why we have to bring this trash here. He can't even stand such a small scene. If he really goes to the battlefield, won't he shit and piss his pants? We are a noble Kurfürst family. Even if we are going to die, we will die with our eyes wide open. How can such garbage come out of nowhere? "
"I will not give him a chance to 'pee and poop'."
Narrowing his eyes, the arrogant young man looked at Li Jialing and said, one word after another, "In a few days, when we have a chance to roam freely in the Land of Sins, I will certainly kill you and clean up the Li family for you! A noble Kurfürst family does not need such a weak member. Just wash your neck and wait to be killed! "
Like a panicked chicken, Li Jialing shuddered for a long time before he vomited feebly again.
"Asshole, if you dare to vomit on me, I'll pull out your tongue right now. Get lost! Don't get in my way here!"
The domineering young man gave a heavy push and pushed Li Jialing to the ground. He slid out and crashed into the corner of the table, knocking over a plate of leftovers on his body and making him look like a drowned rat.
