At the beginning of October, many people were still immersed in the commotion caused by the announcement of the participants of the School Championship Tournament. Li Xiang was selected to go to three main battlefields alone, and Fei Yujing, who did not report any information, appeared in the list of [Dark Whispers].
After the discussion between many bosses and the Goddess of Calamity System, it was confirmed that these two things were not accidents, but the choice of the Goddess of Calamity System.
As a mysterious Super System that assisted humans, the Goddess of Calamity had always been the most secretive and legendary existence in the seven continents. She had witnessed from the first batch of players and experienced countless ups and downs in the human camp. She was the greatest help to humans.
It was said that she had a very high level of self-awareness, and even the five kings could not interfere with her decisions. Duke Silo had tried to find the original body of the Goddess of Calamity, but it was to no avail. She could freely invade the system of any human camp and attach herself to everyone's communication device, but no one could find her original body based on these clues.
Since the Goddess of Calamity had confirmed it, no one questioned these two things anymore. Compared to Fei Yujing, being able to go to three main battlefields alone was an opportunity and a crisis.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, did not mind it too much. He continued to focus on increasing his strength and the production of the Twin Flower. With the help of President Lei Lin, he finally completed the production of the Twin Flower in the beginning of October. Together with the special bullets that he had prepared beforehand, the new gun that he had been looking forward to for a long time was finally on the table.
Ming Xu also replied. She was very satisfied with the anti-materiel rifle, Nirvana. She was selected to go to [Dark Whispers], and she just happened to lack a suitable sniper rifle.
According to the confidential documents of the School Championship Tournament, starting from October 10th, there would be a seven-day training in the [Jadeite Forest]. The participating students had to go to the headquarters of Wessex, which was located in the City of Machinery in Seaborne Area 1.
From there, they would go to the area where the [Jadeite Forest] was located.
Wessex had a huge amount of source substance resources, and they had been secretly expanding their territory and affiliated worlds over the years. They were also the one with the most affiliated worlds among all the superpowers at present.
The world where Mu and Nathro were in was also the territory of Wessex.
This huge family was not only the mechanical overlord of the seven continents, but also the ruler of countless small worlds.
On the evening of the 9th of October, after Li Xiang bade farewell to his friends, he boarded the airship to Wessex alone. Holding the basic rules of the School Championship Competition that he had read countless times, Li Xiang's thoughts flew to the endless night scenery outside the window.
The Dead Sea below was still filled with a disgusting black fog. The border area of City 0010 was also fighting against the xenogeneics day after day. Although they had the support of Li Xiang's Scarlet Heavy Industry, the border was still under great pressure. Every moment, many border soldiers died on the beach, becoming a pile of bones that no one cared about.
When would these days come to an end?
After leaving the range of the academy, the communication device could be used normally. In the same year, Chen Fan and the others were all qualified to participate in the School Championship Competition, but they went to different battlefields.
Chen Fan, Ji Yanqing, Yu Bai, and Li Weilan were also in [Jadeite Forest]. Baimiya, Atsushi Amakusa, and Ai Yakumo were in [Deep Sea Kingdom]. And Fei Yujing, Fenix, and Ji Ruoyu, who gave him the most headaches, were in [Dark Whispers].
After not seeing each other for a year, Li Xiang was also looking forward to meeting Chen Fan again.
Other than that, when he thought of Wessex, he could not help but think of the mechanical girl he met in the Sky Arena. Cecilia Wessex, the only daughter of Duke Silo, his cousin.
The two had not contacted each other since Aokiji 2-7, but at that time, she should have recognized his identity because of [Gear Eye]. He did not know if she would participate in this School Championship Competition.
Sealand was in the middle of an ocean. The ocean it was in was different from the Dead Sea. The sea was blue and the scenery was pleasant. It was completely different from the Dead Sea's lifeless appearance.
Ji Yanqing studied in Sealand's number one player university. No wonder she said that Sealand was the most suitable place for retirement among the seven continents. The Chronometer Tower Consortium, the Katashafi Committee, and the Wessex Headquarters were located here. The three superpowers cooperated to manage it. No other Thrones or aristocratic families were involved. The people lived and worked in peace. The pace of life was slow, and they mainly engaged in agriculture, fishing, and other basic industries.
Compared to the disputes and harshness of the other continents, this was indeed a paradise.
The floating airship landed lightly on the outskirts of Mech City.
Looking down from the top, Mech City was filled with a punk atmosphere and a mechanical flavor. It was a highly developed technological city. Many high-tech mechanical devices that had not been popularized in the seven continents were already being tested here. Many of the exquisite machines were eye-opening.
Duke Silo not only pushed Wessex to the peak of human machinery, but also raised the entire family and everything around it to a height that others could not reach. Only here could one come in contact with the most cutting-edge technology. Countless mechanical enthusiasts lived here all year round, tirelessly studying various devices and technologies. They worked together to promote development. Under this virtuous cycle, the development of Mech City could not be compared to other cities.
This was the holy land of machinery.
There were huge mechanical arms in the sky working non-stop. Perhaps in the blink of an eye, a skyscraper would be built or renovated.
Even the daily lives of the residents were filled with various high-tech products. It was amazing.
After jumping off the floating airship, Li Xiang put on a bracelet that could track his position at any time and was led to a skyscraper.
Participants from various universities were gathered in the hall. They were scattered into small groups based on their universities. Occasionally, they would meet.
"Li Xiang, over here, over here!" A loud and powerful voice rang out from the crowd. It was Chen Fan, dressed in a light yellow military uniform.
Beside him stood Ji Yanqing, dressed in a bright red cheongsam. Her slender figure and beautiful face were very eye-catching in the crowd.
Seeing Li Xiang walk over, Ji Yanqing smiled faintly.
Bang!
The two of them bumped their fists heavily and then hugged each other tightly.
"Kid, you've grown quite a bit." In Chen Fan's memory, Li Xiang was still that thin and weak kid who had just entered the Polar night. Now, he was actually about the same height as himself.
"Likewise, likewise. How are you doing in the military?" Li Xiang also sighed. An old enemy in his previous life had become a close friend in this life. Fate was so unpredictable.
"It's so-so. After knowing that the Military Police Department is Owl's hometown, I don't have much passion." Chen Fan learned from Li Xiang that General Ji Zhanxue was actually the big boss behind Owl, which made him completely lose confidence in the military. Recently, he had been thinking about how to transfer to the border support department under General Bai Zhun's name. "After this School Championship, I might go to the border in advance to serve, and then wait for the space turbulence next year."
"Be careful." Li Xiang knew the dangers of the border the best, but since he had already decided, there was no need to persuade him.
He turned to look at Ji Yanqing, who smiled at him again.
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see."
"How's the sea and the land?" Li Xiang was concise. Ji Yanqing was very smart. She would definitely understand what he meant.
"Not bad. I'm already an intern in the Players' Association. Here, I can indeed come into contact with higher-level people. I heard that when the tarot cards attacked the Yao family, you were also there?" Ji Yanqing's expression only changed when the tarot cards were mentioned. Her hatred for this organization was deeply rooted. This was also one of the reasons why Li Xiang had a headache.
It was the Evil Leader Sect who slaughtered the Ji family, but why would she care so much? Besides, even if the Evil Leader Sect and the Fool Sect did not use the same path, they were still his father's people. He had to find an opportunity to properly communicate with her about these grudges.
"Yes, Osiris brought a few big Acana card holders." Li Xiang nodded.
"I will definitely kill him." Ji Yanqing said word by word.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Chen Fan was about to say something when the person in charge of Wessex suddenly appeared and gathered all the students in the hall together.
"I'm very honored to be able to invite all of you to participate in the School Championship Tournament hosted by Wessex, [Jadeite Forest]. Next, please use your warmest applause to welcome Lord Siluo to explain the rules of this tournament!" The person in charge used a loudspeaker to transmit his voice to every corner.
The originally noisy hall instantly became silent after hearing Siluo's name!
Duke Siluo was going to personally explain!
Li Xiang cast his gaze towards the mechanical platform where a tall figure was projected.
Duke Siluo's appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere in the hall. As long as one lived in the seven continents, there was no one who did not know his name.
His appearance was very ordinary and did not have the handsome face of a European. However, his pair of eyes shocked countless people. It was as if there was a sea of stars hidden in them, deep and distant.
"I am Siluo. Welcome to Wessex." A simple sentence with a deep voice. It was actually somewhat similar to Li Xiang.
He had seen a picture of his father in the Lancelot Manor. It was 50% similar to the Siluo in front of him.
"[Jadeite Forest] is inhabited by the Giant Dragon Clan and the Fairy Clan. There are also many ancient clans that you do not know of. Remember, the owners of the Jadeite Forest are the Giant Dragons and the Fairy Clan, not us humans. While you are inside, you must not have too much conflict with the natives. Otherwise, even if it is me, it will be very difficult to rescue you from their hands. "
To dare to resist the rule of humans and make Duke Siluo helpless, one could see how powerful the Giant Dragons and the Fairy Clans were. They lived in seclusion in the Jadeite Forest. However, they did not ask about the situation of the seven continents and did not allow other clans to enter their territory.
To be able to make these old monsters agree to set the School Championship Tournament in the Jadeite Forest, one could see that Duke Siluo's name was very important.
"The rules this time are very simple. October is the breeding season of the Giant Dragons and the Fairy Clans. At that time, there will be countless Giant Dragon Eggs and Fairy Clans all over the Jadeite Forest. You will need to find various treasures in the Jadeite Forest and use them to exchange with the Giant Dragons and the Fairy Clans to obtain their Giant Dragon Eggs and Fairy Clans."
"The Giant Dragons and the Fairy Clans are classified according to their rarity. There will be a set of information that will be sent to you. The rarer the species, the harder it is to obtain it. The final evaluation will be based on the Giant Dragon Eggs or Fairy Clans you hatch. Remember, each person can only exchange for one set."
"May I ask Sir Siluo, will the Giant Dragons or Fairies that are hatched be able to follow us in the future?" A student asked impatiently.
"This is also one of the evaluation criteria. The first step is to obtain; the second step is to hatch; the third step is to contract. You will only pass if you complete all of them. Of course, those who die prematurely will fail, "Siluo said coldly." Let me remind you again, the owners of the Jadeite Forest are not us humans. "
After saying this, Siluo's projection disappeared.
His swift and decisive personality left a good impression on Li Xiang. After explaining the rules, Wessex arranged for the contestants to enter the magic array in batches.
The magic array was jointly developed by Wessex's mages. It could only transport the contestants to the Jadeite Forest in one direction. When the time came, the Giant Dragons and Fairies of the Jadeite Forest would have to transport the contestants back in another way. If the contestants' relationship with the Giant Dragons and Fairies were not willing to help them return, they might be forced to stay in the Jadeite Forest forever.
Duke Siluo had repeatedly emphasized that they had to maintain a proper attitude. He was afraid that some of the students with monstrous family backgrounds would be too arrogant and cause the Giant Dragons and Fairies to dislike them. After all, humans had always considered themselves as the rulers and rarely treated other races as equals.
Li Xiang walked closer to the magic array. The magic particles on it were incomparably clear. Mages were indeed the class with the highest affinity for magic particles among the players. Just from the magic array, he could feel that their control over magic particles was on a completely different level from that of a Magician.
Stepping into the magic array, a huge vortex of consciousness appeared above his head. Li Xiang closed his eyes and relaxed his body, allowing the magic particles around him to invade his body.
The vortex of consciousness scanned Li Xiang's body from head to toe, as if it was checking for something. Fortunately, the Primordial Array had completely modified the Heart of Disaster, so the examination ended quickly. After a moment of absent-mindedness, when Li Xiang opened his eyes again, he was already in a world of green jadeite.
A cool breeze caressed his face, and birds sang and flowers bloomed. But from the scenery alone, it was undoubtedly a rare paradise.
Li Xiang did not let his guard down. Just because he did not take the initiative to provoke the natives of the Jadeite Forest did not mean that they would definitely welcome him. The manual had mentioned a few dangerous races. They were naturally hostile to humans. If he let his guard down too much, it was very likely that he would be beheaded in an instant.
Without a map, without any hints, he could only rely on his own ability and luck to find treasures.
Li Xiang was not in a hurry to find anything. Instead, he found a towering ancient tree and chose a vantage point to observe the terrain.
Li Xiang, who had undergone excellent training as an assassin, strove to familiarize himself with the surroundings no matter what kind of environment he was in before taking action.
He did not like to move around in an unfamiliar environment.
"I don't know if I'm lucky or not." Li Xiang's eyesight was astonishing. As far as his eyes could see, other than the various plants and strange flowers and trees, he did not see a single living thing.
This meant that the area he was born in was very likely an extremely remote place.
This way, he could avoid the initial danger, but it would also bring him a lot of trouble in his search. This adventure only had seven days. The Jadeite Forest was incomparably large, no smaller than a continent. If he was unlucky, he might end up empty-handed.
