Coming in first place in the Supreme Council's entrance test naturally came with many benefits.
Firstly, there were 100,000 points. If this number of points were not given to the team, it would be enough for one to live a carefree life and become rich. Moreover, there were too many good things in the Supreme Council. 100,000 points were enough to turn an ordinary person who did not know anything into a super life form that could move mountains and seas.
Secondly, there was the right to directly use the Supreme Council's high-dimensional battleships three times. To most civilizations that did not have high-dimensional battleships, this was a strategic weapon.
The rest were the rights to issue high-level missions within the council, accept high-level missions, form teams, exchange for techniques, tools, and various other aspects. There was no need to go into detail.
In short, this first place was not just a matter of reputation. It would also bring about countless hidden advantages and many tangible benefits. This was what many seeded contestants were fighting for in this test.
However, with the battle prowess Zuo Qingcang had displayed, everyone present understood that it would not be difficult for him to take first place in this test.
However, the words of the lizardman made the pig-headed team leader slightly stunned.
He paused for a moment and said, "Officer Bibi, this … isn't necessary, right? If we allow him to continue participating, he'll probably cause a lot of harm to the other participants and also cause a lot of damage to the venue. Moreover, with his battle prowess … "
Bibi, who had come to the monitoring room to speak earlier, was a commissioner of the Supreme Council's branch. In terms of official rank, he was about the same as the team leader. However, one was in charge of recruiting new members, while the other was in charge of the follow-up arrangements related to human resources. Of course, the team leader would give him more face.
However, upon hearing what he said, the lizardman Bibi twitched his nose and snorted coldly. "Elfangs, are you thinking of breaking the council's rules? Since when did the rule say that the one with the highest battle prowess would be in first place? "When the council recruits people, not only must they satisfy the requirements in terms of battle prowess, but they also have very high requirements in terms of temperament, obedience, controllability, and morals.
"Look at how this guy has killed his way here. He's basically a terrorist. "Putting aside the fact that he's in first place, I'm even against allowing him to join the council."
This was bullshit. The pig-headed man known as Elfangs sneered in his heart. In the universe, those with bigger fists were the most reasonable. If they did not look at combat power, were they going to look at whose character was good and who was handsome?
Although he didn't agree with Bino's words, Bino's words reminded him of something.
'Looks like he killed his way here? I remember this kid's first match was against a lizardman, right? Does that lizardman have something to do with Bibi? '
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Elfangs smiled bitterly and helplessly. 'So that's how it is. I was wondering why the old man was angry for no reason. There's no hatred in this world for no reason.'
After figuring out the crux of the problem, he snorted and said, "Officer Bibi, you're right. What do you think we should do?"
"After all, this is your responsibility. As long as you don't violate the relevant rules of the test, I will definitely fully support your work." After saying a few more words and making sure that the other party understood his hint, Bibi left.
In fact, he could not have been any more obvious. After all, there was a limit to what he could do. Like now, he said it vaguely, but Elfangs understood it clearly. That was the best way to go about it.
Then, even if someone from the top wanted to bring up this matter in the future, Bibi would just say that he wanted to test the other qualities other than combat power. There was nothing wrong with that, right?
The monitor on the side said, "Boss, what does he mean by that?"
What does he mean? If he did not violate the rules, of course, he would follow the rules. He also had to ensure that the other party did not get first place, which meant that he would make the other party's next test a little more difficult.
However, of course, he would not say these words in front of his subordinates. That would damage his authority as a leader. Therefore, he only said in a slightly reserved manner, "Well, continue with the test. This … Zuo Qingcang, let him continue with the test according to the procedure.
However, Officer Bibi has a point. For every participant, we should strictly examine the other party's qualities in all aspects.
Since Zuo Qingcang's combat power is very strong, I think we can give him a little more burden in the second test. "
…
On the other hand, after defeating Miss Phantom, Zuo Qingcang once again entered the teleportation gate of the high-dimensional battleship. However, this time, after flashing, he no longer appeared on the battlefield of a certain planet. Instead, he entered an extremely huge metal hall. When Zuo Qingcang arrived here, there were already several hundred people standing in the hall.
They were all participants who had completed ten consecutive victories and had entered the second round of the test.
Compared to the previous participants, these guys could barely be considered strong. The weakest among them, according to the rating given by the Supreme Council, should be above the level 3 Void Apprentice.
Of course, as a minority of strong creatures, they all had their own unique personalities and pride. Moreover, during the test, most of them were in a more solemn or nervous mood.
Therefore, although there were several hundred people in the entire hall, it was very quiet. Even if there were some people talking occasionally, they were talking in low voices.
After Zuo Qingcang appeared, some people took a few glances at him. However, Zuo Qingcang's appearance, or rather, his human appearance, really belonged to the gentler and non-threatening ones in the entire universe. Therefore, most people only took a few glances and turned their heads away.
Zuo Qingcang did not care about this. He casually found a corner and stood still, waiting quietly.
In the following time, newcomers were constantly teleported into the hall, and the number of people in the hall increased. In the blink of an eye, there were more than 800 people.
At this moment, two people walked towards Zuo Qingcang, causing Zuo Qingcang to frown slightly.
The one who came to look for him was Wade, who helped Zuo Qingcang block the lizardman's attack in front of the registration machine.
At this moment, he looked at Zuo Qingcang and smiled foolishly. "You really passed the ten-game winning streak. I thought you should be very strong."
Zuo Qingcang threw a glance at him and did not say anything. Wade did not care about Zuo Qingcang's arrogant attitude at all. However, the people who had come with Wade could not stand it.
It was a guy with a snow-white body, like a snowman. His face was even slightly transparent, as if it was made of a strange crystal. However, the most eye-catching thing about him was that he was floating an inch off the ground. He was floating in the air almost all the time and did not use his legs to walk at all.
This was a guy who made the people around him feel that he was very strong, very strong, just by looking at his appearance. Some of the more knowledgeable guys even pointed at the snowman.
"Is that Pumir?"
"Death Mercenary Pumir. Even this guy is here?"
"I heard that he single-handedly led the Explosive Terror Mercenary Group and wiped out the Jade Empire's imperial guard fleet. To think that even this person has come to participate in the entrance test?"
"This guy doesn't seem to be satisfied with being an exile influence. Does he want to join the Supreme Council and exchange for a high-dimensional battleship?"
The snowman known as Pumir looked at Zuo Qingcang, who had a cold expression, and said to Wade, "This is the guy you introduced?"
"That's him. He should be very strong." Wade nodded and turned to look at Zuo Qingcang, saying, "This is Brother Pumir's second time participating in the test. He told me that the second round of the test will be a team event. Do you want to join us?"
Pumir threw a glance at Zuo Qingcang and said, "Let me make it clear first. Although Wade said that you're very strong, we still need you to prove it before you can join us. "In the previous test, I only fell at the final juncture of the third round and almost passed."
After saying this, a hint of arrogance seemed to flash on Pumir's face. In fact, he had reason to be arrogant. Even his teacher had said that if it had not been for his bad luck, he would have passed the previous test. There was no doubt about his strength.
However, in the face of Pumir's words, Zuo Qingcang replied coldly, "Not interested."
This was a blatant provocation and not giving him any face. At the very least, this was what Pumir thought. Wade wanted to persuade him again, but Pumir did not have the patience. He sneered, shook his head, and said, "You're from a small place, aren't you? "I've seen too many people like you, who are arrogant and don't know the immensity of heaven and earth just because you have a little bit of strength.
Maybe in your place, you're already invincible, but I want to tell you that this is the stage of the whole universe. Here, there are as many people who are stronger than you, more talented than you, and more powerful than you, as there are stars in the sky. "
Speaking of this, he seemed to sigh. He looked at Zuo Qingcang with a little pity in his eyes, as if he were looking at an ignorant junior.
"Let's go, Wade. There's no need to associate with this kind of person."
Wade still wanted to say something, but when he saw Pumir leave, he could only shrug apologetically at Zuo Qingcang and say, "Brother Pumir is a bit impulsive. It seems that we can't team up. Be careful."
After Wade left, Zuo Qingcang threw an indifferent glance toward Wade's back view.
"Do you think I'm strong? Is it a coincidence … or … "
A few minutes later, the number of people present exceeded 1,000, but no more contestants appeared for 15 minutes. At this time, there were three other people behind Pumir besides Wade.
They were an insect-type alien, a stone man, and a woman with a long horn on her head and a tail sticking out of her tailbone. There are indeed many races in this universe. In fact, given the vastness of the universe and the number of stars, it is normal for there to be as many races and civilizations as there are stars.
At this moment, all the metal walls, ceiling, and floor around the hall flashed, and a strange creature wrapped in blue flames with only a pair of eyes appeared in front of everyone.
"Hello, I'm Death Herald, ranked 8411th on the Galactic Gods and Demons List, Death Herald. I'm also the person in charge of the second round of the test. "
"Maybe you're still excited that you passed the first round of the test, but I have to say that those who can't even pass the first round of the test are just a bunch of trash in the universe."
"Passing the first round of the test only means that you are qualified to participate in the real test. The real test has only just begun. " Death Herald snorted coldly, and a murderous aura rushed out, causing countless participants to tremble.
This round of murderous aura was enough to determine the strength of everyone present. Pumir and the other four were naturally unaffected.
In addition, about 20 people, including Zuo Qingcang, did not show any obvious changes under the impact of the murderous aura.
However, the rest of the people couldn't do it. Most of them were trembling, nervous, and even vomiting or fainting.
"Humph." Seemingly dissatisfied with the performance of the people present, Death Herald said coldly, "I'll say this first. In all the tests I've presided over, more than 10 people have passed. If you want to pass, you'd better do your best and be prepared to sacrifice your life."
"What!"
"No more than 10 people?"
"Doesn't that mean there's only a one percent passing rate?"
Countless people shouted, and Death Herald seemed to be happy to see the panic and fear in the crowd. He smiled and said, "Since you already know the seriousness of the matter, let me briefly explain the arrangements for the second round of the test."
"First of all, before the start of the second round of the test, you have to form a team.
"No one can solve everything by themselves forever, especially when you're not strong enough. Strong companions are your most reliable support.
"Even if you slowly become stronger and become an expert on the Star River's Celestial Demon List, you won't be alone. Putting aside the high-dimensional battleships, I can tell you that more than 90% of the experts on the Celestial Demon List have a huge team behind them.
"When it comes to dealing with enemies of similar strength, even the experts on the Celestial Demon List who are usually alone will choose to join forces.
"Three months ago, Doomsday Star Passalika joined forces with the Ice Queen, Scorching Golden Flame, and Voice of the Milky Way to successfully stop Doomsday Star.
"Therefore, before the start of the second round of the test, I'll give you half an hour to form a team with five to ten people. Begin."
The moment Deathly Pale Flame finished speaking, everyone present instantly moved. The entire hall was filled with a hubbub of voices. Everyone looked at the people they liked, asked questions, and answered questions.
Of course, the team that was surrounded by the most people was the team that Pumir and the other four were in. Many people could tell that they were not careless and wanted to join them.
However, Pumir's requirements for his companions were very high. Ordinary people were not worthy of his attention. More than a dozen people lined up to ask questions, but he did not accept anyone. In the end, there were still only five people in his team.
As for Zuo Qingcang's team, he was not eye-catching and did not take the initiative to communicate with others. Five minutes had passed, but no one came to look for him.
Deathly Pale Flame seemed to have noticed the situation with Zuo Qingcang's team. He shouted in a low voice, "Those who have not formed a team, pay attention. If there are still people who have not formed a team after the agreed time of half an hour is up, they will be eliminated directly."
"How troublesome." Zuo Qingcang raised his head impatiently. Just as he was about to find a random team to join, he saw nine people walking toward him.
