In the territory, not counting the followers, only a few hunters broke through the bottleneck and stepped into the 10th Stage Condensation Realm.
The peak 9th Stage belonged to the second echelon.
Like Chen Haiping and the others, some of them were stuck in the peak 9th Stage for half a month. Although they couldn't break through, it didn't mean they couldn't improve their combat power. They turned their energy to explore the Trial Tower and study skills.
Unofficial adventurers couldn't practice in the spiritual space from time to time. But Chen Haiping and the others were still the shelter's middle and upper management. Some facilities such as the spiritual space were still charged for them, but it was very cheap. Compared to their salary, it was almost unlimited supply.
In the Trial Tower, the best of the apprentices, the captains of the various corps and above, almost all had a score of 60 floors or more. Each of them was proficient in three to five combat skills/spells.
For these people, Tang Yu had enough confidence.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The battle space was clearly presented in everyone's eyes. At least the intermediate and advanced hunters could clearly see the scene thousands of meters high in the sky.
Once the strength of the Tree Shade hunters was revealed, they could take this opportunity to recruit talents from all over the world!
And the Holy Realm space was connected to all places. What Tang Yu wanted to do this time was to prepare sufficient and fertile land for the leeks to deliver themselves to the door!
… …
At his request, Chen Haiping and the others all hung the official badge representing the Tree Shade in the most conspicuous position on their chest.
The badge looked similar to the pattern on the combat uniform.
A giant tree that ran through the sky and the earth.
The badges of the martial arts school, the major corps, the intelligence department … Different departments had some differences in details. For example, the badge of the garrison corps had a shield placed at the root, symbolizing defense.
Green shade, green shade.
This was the original origin of the badge image. But Tang Yu wouldn't admit that he just randomly thought of it. Anyway, the tree badge could also be very cool, such as the World Tree, the World Ancient Tree, the World God Tree and so on …
… …
As soon as the time was up, everyone present from the 6th to 9th Stage was teleported away.
The number of people was far less than the low-level hunters. Even if everyone did it at the same time, the small orange boxes still couldn't cover the entire sky.
In the primary division, the size of the combat space was about 400 * 400 square meters. In the intermediate division, Tang Yu noticed that the combat space was more than ten times larger.
"It should be that as the level increases, a wider space is needed to unleash the strength of a hunter. If the distance is too close, it's not fair for those who are good at long-range combat."
"But there's nothing in this battle space. It's very backward. If it's the Tree Shade, there must be random terrain, such as mountains, grasslands, lakes, and so on."
Tang Yu looked up and saw the battle had begun.
A Sixth Awakening Stage hunter, no matter where they are, is the backbone force. It's not like the beginner division where they made all kinds of jokes. After all, everyone has experienced countless battles to reach their current strength.
His body flew, sword and saber flashes, energy bursting forth …
Tang Yu watched with relish. Some of the rare special abilities he had never seen before had broadened his horizons.
Beside him, Elaine also looked up, sometimes confused, sometimes thoughtful. "So that's how it is. The essence of this ability is to use fire energy like water …"
Tang Yu turned his head, a little confused.
What the hell? Who had the [Insightful Eyes]!
…
After waiting for about ten minutes, the first round of the battle was basically over.
Whether it was a winner or a loser, they were all teleported back to their original place.
Tang Yu glanced from a distance. From the degree of aura disorder, he could roughly judge the victory and defeat of the hunters. He was satisfied with this look. Tree Shade's official hunters, including the adventurers further away, won the first round. More than four-fifths of them.
It's reasonable.
After all, the hunters above the Sixth Awakening Stage had the ability to buy a good set of rune equipment for themselves. They also practiced in the training camp for a long time. Unlike the first and second Awakening Stage newbies, who at most had a set of novice equipment. They weren't much stronger than the hunters in other places.
As soon as these hunters were teleported back, the injured ones quickly found a way to recover. In the temporary camp built by the Tree Shade, they could buy healing potions or scrolls. In order to let more people be shortlisted, these recovery goods were sold at a 50% discount. Tang Yu also organized a group of healing ability users who didn't need to participate in the competition to be on standby.
So that the hunters under his command could participate in the next battle in their best condition.
If the hunters in other areas knew about this, they would probably curse. Their equipment was better than theirs, and they had more combat experience. But they were also equipped with props and logistics teams. How could they fight?!
– Of course, I choose to be a part of the Tree Shade. (̄) ̄) ⊙
… …
The second round, the third round, the battle progressed quickly.
Except for the occasional lucky draw, each hunter's rest time would not exceed ten minutes. Although after the end of the battle, in addition to the injuries, physical strength and source power would be restored to their peak state. However, the high-intensity battle was a challenge for everyone.
The tense spirit, the injuries continued to accumulate.
In one of the battle spaces.
Commander Chi was relieved to see the opponent was shrouded in brilliance and disappeared.
"Strong, too strong. He's obviously just an early Eighth Awakening Stage hunter …"
As for himself, he had been at the peak of the Ninth Awakening Stage for a long time. He was one of the strongest people in the area. Even if his nephew lost the "Ice Soul Twin Blades," he would replace the other weapon he obtained from the ruins. His strength could leave an ordinary Ninth Awakening Stage hunter two streets behind.
In this way, facing the Eighth Awakening Stage hunter, he fought for a long time and even got injured.
He saw his combat uniform was torn, and there was a wound on his left arm, deep to the bone.
Commander Chi was quickly teleported back to the ground. The healer in the army hurriedly ran up to help him recover from his injury.
At this time, the leader of the force stationed next door came over.
"I guess it will take another two or three rounds before we can advance. Old Chi, are you sure?"
"Hey, I once escaped from the mouth of a Tenth Awakening Stage demonic beast. I was confident in my strength. But I didn't expect that I would always feel like I'm the one being overpowered."
"What's the matter? What opponent did you encounter? "The leader of the neighboring force was puzzled.
At this time, next to the light pillar, their six major forces only had the strongest leader left. They haven't been eliminated yet. Several of them had used up their resurrection qualification. As the competition progressed, the opponents became stronger and stronger. He felt indescribable pressure.
The Great Xia Kingdom really had many capable people.
But looking at Commander Chi's expression, why did he look like he was hit?
"You don't know, I met a Ninth Awakening hunter in the last round. I defeated him in two and a half minutes. In the last round, I met someone who had just entered the Eighth Awakening. I thought I was lucky. Who knew that after fighting for nearly nine minutes, I found a flaw and injured him, forcing him to admit defeat. But even so, I was injured. If that person was stronger, like a peak Eighth Awakening, then … I'm not sure if I could win."
"How is that possible?!"
The leader of the neighboring force couldn't believe it.
Commander Chi said bitterly, "That person was wearing a combat uniform with a giant tree pattern."
His body suddenly shook.
"The people from that force are really … terrifyingly strong?"
The leader of the neighboring force hadn't encountered such a hunter. He had heard that some of his men were eliminated by a person wearing a giant tree combat uniform, but he didn't know the situation. At this time, when Commander Chi said it, he realized the gap.
He was also the one who could be overpowered!
"I hope I don't meet the hunter from that force in the next round. Losing to a peak Ninth Awakening is better than being overpowered."
… …
After a short break, Commander Chi was once again teleported into the battle space.
"The aura of a peak Ninth Awakening. It looks like a normal battle …"
His eyes suddenly widened.
On the opposite side.
The man a thousand meters away, holding two ferocious sledgehammers, three marks on the shoulder of his clothes, and the pattern on the front of the combat uniform, he was very familiar with.
Why did they meet again!
"Wait, his badge is also a giant tree, could it be …"
Before, Commander Chi, including his army, the people he met from the neighboring forces, all had different badges on their chests. There were beast-shaped totems, swords, and harpoons, but some didn't wear badges.
And this time, for the first time, he saw a badge that was very similar to the pattern on the combat uniform.
Could it be the core legion of that force?
What force is it? Norland???
Without time to think, the man on the opposite side raised his sledgehammer high and slammed it on the ground. The whole space seemed to shake, and the shockwave visible to the naked eye, like waves, blasted towards him layer by layer.
Terrible power, Commander Chi's pupils shrank.
He only had time to hold the saber horizontally in front of his chest, injecting source power into his arms. With a snap, he was slapped away by the shockwave. His head buzzed, and his eyes lost focus. When he came back to his senses, he had already hit the invisible wall of the battle space and was bounced back to the ground by the shock force. A mouthful of blood spurted out.
His internal organs were displaced, his chest was bleeding, and his arms were trembling.
A single strike from a thousand meters away had caused him to be severely injured!
Commander Chi spat out another mouthful of blood, looking at the man in the distance with the twin hammers, his eyes were full of horror.
… …
"After this round, there should be two more. Ah, so slow."
Ma Jiaze was in the intermediate division. From the first round to the present, every round was a crushing victory, which made him feel bored.
In the Tree Shade, among the peak Ninth Stage hunters, he was also confident that he was among the best. If it wasn't for the opportunity, he wouldn't be interested in participating in this kind of battle at all. But he had been stuck in the peak Ninth Stage for some time, and he still couldn't feel the feeling of a breakthrough.
Thinking back to when he and his brother were called the Hammer Brothers. But now, the boss had broken through the bottleneck, and he had become the abandoned one.
"However, if I can get the admission quota and get the highest level of gift, I should be able to use it to break through."
Thinking so, Ma Jiaze saw that the man in the distance still had no intention of admitting defeat. The big hammer in his right hand was raised high again.
"Wait, wait, there's something I don't understand."
He heard the man shouting.
"What is it?" Ma Jiaze's big hammer stopped in mid-air, ready to smash down at any time.
"You, who the hell are you?!"
Ma Jiaze straightened his combat uniform:
"Since you asked so sincerely, I'll … Hey, here's a brochure, I'll give it to you." Ma Jiaze took out a small brochure from his pocket. It was the size of a palm, one centimeter thick. He weighed it, and the brochure spun out like a dart, flew two or three kilometers away, and landed in front of Commander Chi.
This kind of control …
Commander Chi's pupils shrank again, only feeling a little tired.
He reached out, picked up the brochure, and saw a line of words on it: "Tree Shade Shelter Commemorative Brochure for Five Months."
It also smelled of oil that had just been printed.
“？？？”
A little confused.
He looked up at the opposite side.
"In short, our Tree Shade is a shelter with hundreds of thousands of hunters. We have opened chain stores and martial arts schools in dozens of large shelters. We also have our own bases in several places in the Great Xia Kingdom … well, that's about it."
That's about it???!
Commander Chi held back his old blood, silently admitted defeat, and returned to his own territory.
… …
The battle in the intermediate division, overall, had no twists and turns.
But because this time, many of the hunters who participated were high-ranking members of major forces, the name of Tree Shade gradually spread. On the other hand, the hunters in the Luoxia, Norland, and Yangtze River Delta areas were not surprised.
Buying crystals to become stronger was a basic operation.
They just suffered a loss because the Tree Shade settled in the local area too late. Otherwise, ahem!
In other areas, there were also experts. Some had awakened extremely powerful abilities, and some obtained inheritance and equipment from the secret realm. Like the Norland officials, they also had their own set of systematic training methods.
There were even Fourth Era hunters. Although they were weak in the Fourth Era, they had been exposed to cultivation for a long time, and had a complete inheritance. These people were also extremely strong.
Each area had top experts far beyond the same level. But the Tree Shade had more people, wholesale like they didn't need money.
As the number of people became smaller and smaller, it was inevitable that they would bump into their own people.
"Leader Zishan, it's you."
"Silver Wolf Vice Leader, it's you."
"In the spiritual space, we fought. Although I won all three rounds, it was a narrow victory. Now I don't want to fight with you, so as not to benefit others. Why don't you give me the spot? Our Purple Mountain can unconditionally help you complete a commission."
The Silver Wolf Vice Leader paused, "Okay." Then his figure disappeared.
This scene fell into the eyes of some of the hunters who watched the battle, making them stomp their feet.
Damn it, they didn't give them a way out!
Referee, someone is fixing the game here!
However, this wasn't outside the rules. After all, connections were also a kind of strength.
Tang Yu shrugged. The result was basically the same as he expected.
Tree Shade's official hunters, plus unofficial adventurers, the number of finalists exceeded 300.
Chen Haiping, Chen Xiaojia, and the others, as expected, got the admission spots. But his cousin was a little depressed. She felt that her strength hadn't been shown at all, and the fight was over. Why didn't they continue to decide the first place?
The Golden Gift Beam fell, and the surrounding hunters' aura skyrocketed one by one.
Not all of the finalists had broken through to the Tenth Awakening Stage. Some of them hadn't reached the peak of the Ninth Awakening Stage. They just had high combat power and defeated several peak Ninth Awakening Stage experts.
The intermediate division was over.
The countdown to the advanced division emerged in Tang Yu's mind.
His blood was boiling, and his source power gushed out, forming a flame attached to his body surface.
After so many days of cultivation, Tang Yu also wanted to know how strong he really was without spending any crystals.
