Chương 454: Making the Name of Tree Shade

"There are two types of qualification selection for the Holy Land: martial and literary.

The martial competition is divided into three zones.

[Awakening 1st to 5th level: Beginner tournament.]

[Awakening Level 6 to 9: Intermediate level.]

[Awakening Level 10 and above: Advanced level.]

At the beginning of the competition, the participants will be transported to a closed battle space, where life and death will not be discussed. The participants can silently forfeit or admit defeat and will be transported back to their original location."

"In this Sanctuary Qualifying Tournament - East 8, there are two hundred spots for the Junior Tournament, eight hundred spots for the Intermediate Tournament, and two thousand spots for the Senior Tournament.

"Before the start of the competition, participants can choose three of the subcategories of "Runes, Potions, Magic, Cultivation, Forging, Command, Cooking, etc." as their qualifying events. ...it has a total of 2,000 spots."

This voice feels even duller than the system.

Tang Yu initially thought that a strong man from ancient times would pop up! But now, it felt more like a set program, where the Saint predicted the fifth era, thus leading to this selection of qualifications for the Holy Land.

What made him more concerned was the division of such an area in the eastern eight districts - the Hunters of the previous investigation corps, although they were not able to fully explore this space, but also have a rough inference - covering the Daxia Kingdom and a small part of the surrounding areas.

In terms of the area alone, it occupies nearly a tenth of the total land area.

Not small at all.

And this is only the eastern eight districts? Then wouldn't there be the western eight districts? Perhaps there are also the southern ten districts, the northern twenty fifty districts? It's impossible to say.

Tang Yu couldn't help but think that Zhen had said that before the Third Age, the area of the Origin Star was unimaginably vast.

Perhaps the eastern eight districts were the divisions at that time.

....

Inside the Holy Land Space.

The others, all of them, stayed for a moment, and many of them sighed with relief when they heard that the competitor could admit defeat.

Many people actually did not have confidence in themselves, and they only came to the Holy Land for a day sightseeing tour.

This was still a deadly fight in a closed space to determine the last two thousand or so places, not to mention the salty hunters, even if they were experts, who could guarantee that they would stand out from the tens of millions of hunters?

From this point of view, the person who designed the selection method was biased towards benevolence rather than taking a compulsion-like method to cultivate strong people.

...

After the mechanical and dull voice passed.

Soon, the Holy Land Qualification Selection Tournament began.

The first to proceed was the awakening of the first to five, the largest number of people, more than ninety-five percent.

Looking around, many people were enveloped by the glittering light and disappeared without a trace the next moment.

There were official Tree Shade Corps hunters, mercenaries, and casual hunters who suddenly disappeared. Tang Yu spread out his senses and found that there were still many Hunters who had aura below the fifth level and had not been teleported away ... 'It seemed that the selection didn't start at the same time.'

Thousands of meters high in the sky, orange particles of light flashing, forming a square battle area, from a distance, like small boxes spread above the head.

The boxes were translucent, and Tang Yu, with his extraordinary eyesight, saw that in each of the combat zones that took shape, two Hunters appeared exactly one or two hundred meters apart, standing opposite each other.

Suddenly transported to thousands of meters high in the air, many people were still confused and did not react.

Some even instantly went limp. Their hands and feet trembling, their faces terrified --Tang Yu estimated that the Hunters within the battle area could also clearly see the scene outside. Imagine standing on a glass walkway thousands of meters high, and Tang Yu understood why some of them, before they even fought, had already lost their will.

But some of them, after a brief moment of dismay, seized the opportunity to strike quickly and wound or even kill their opponents.

Tang Yu kept his eyes on the high altitude. In just under ten seconds, some orange boxes were disintegrating and dissipating, which should represent both sides of the battle, splitting up the winners and losers - some were killed, and some admitted defeat.

After the end of a martial arts duel, they were all retransmitted back to their original locations, whether it was the loser, the winner, or the corpse.

Tang Yu then saw that a Hunter who had just disappeared in the distance reappeared, but they had turned into a corpse, with a large hole broken by a lance in the heart area.

"They were stunned, and they were even scared of admitting defeat because they were teleported thousands of meters high in the air."

"This martial competition is not only about strength but also guts and willpower."

One by one, an orange translucent battle area unfolded and quickly dissipated.

One by one, the Hunters were transported away and back again. And before long, almost all the low-level Hunters had experienced a round or two of battle.

In the early stages, the gap between the two sides was often large, like the four or five against the one or two, usually, after they perceived each other's aura and quickly conceded defeat, they did not dare to engage - afraid of not being able to see the opponent's movements, and killed.

The longest match took around 10 minutes.

But most of them, over in ten or twenty seconds.

"Damn! The resurrection chances are all used up! This place restricted the use of firearms!"

"Yeah, originally I borrowed a Vulcan Gatling, but as a result, the bullets are slow as a turtle, might as well give me a revolver!"

"Hey, is there a limit to firearms weapons? I use the two swift revolvers, and it seems that nothing has changed."

At the low-level Hunter stage, firearms played a big role. Although they could not deal with four or five demonic beasts, ordinary bullets could cause fatal injuries to humans.

The most cost-effective weapon for low-level hunters was basically a hand rifle or pistol – but these weapons were limited to the area around the large shelters, some remote areas of small and medium-sized shelters, or those small countries around the Daxia Kingdom, there was a lack of complete production line, thus making their hunters unable to buy this weapon.

Tang Yu initially thought that the situation of martial combat would be that people with guns would trample on to hunters without guns, but now it seems that firearms seem to be restricted and weakened to a certain extent according to the strength of the user?

But the match was still far from being fair!

"Even if the firearm is weakened, there was still the rune equipment such as combat clothing and rune swords."

--But… the combat equipment such as swords and suits of armor didn't affect their use as much as firearms, since firearms were built to be used swiftly and could kill people from a long-range, swords, however, take skill.

Therefore, they were not weakened. Tang Yu guessed that the use of potions should be weakened - for example, the healing scrolls that could heal heavy injuries, now, could only treat moderate injuries.

His line of sight swept overhead from one battle area to another, and from the battle suits, Tang Yu could tell the Hunters who were associated with the Tree Shade - there were quite a few of these people, among a hundred people, there could be seven or eight.

"So unknowingly, the business has become so big!"

But for the time being, no one was using potions or props, and he didn't know if it was unnecessary or the level was so low that they couldn't afford them yet.

The battle was in full swing, and unknowingly, the battle area, thousands of meters high in the sky, was not as dense as before, which means that most of the low-level hunters had been eliminated and had reached the final stage.

The distance was too far, Tang Yu could not perceive the aura of those people, but it was clear the ones who remained on the field were the fifth level awakened.

...

Holy Land - East 8.

Around each pillar of light was a gathering point, gathering tens or hundreds of thousands of Hunters.

As more and more people were eliminated, hunters from the same organization exchanged information between their teammates, and they likely found out that they were probably both lost to the same person. The strongest people in the competition area gradually came into sight.

"Chief Chi, I remember your nephew is at the peak of the fifth level, right? He also has a very advanced special ability like "Time Bullet", even against the sixth level awakened, the chances of winning are not small, I think, this time, among the two hundred who managed to advance into the next stage, there must be your nephew."

The chief of the Chi family was happy to be praised by a big man of the same level. However, he still waved his hand modestly, "No, no, there are many experts in your organization. My nephew is just lucky to have awakened an ability suitable for fighting ... However, I do have high hopes for him this time, and I have lent him the "Ice Spirit Double Blade."

"What, that weapon you obtained from the relic was also wielded by your nephew? Then who else is his opponent? I hope the one left in our organization will not run into your nephew."

At this moment, the remaining hunters, only one or two thousand people, and most of them have already used up their resurrection qualifications.

"Chief, Ji Zhongyu is back, but it seems, it seems ..."

The person who informed the report stammered, and a lousy thought rose abruptly within the head, he rushed over, and the leader of another big organization, with a twinkle in his eye, followed suit.

The person who had high hopes for Ji Zhongyu now seems to have lost his soul, fell to the ground, lost his soul, his nephew's body was bruised and purple, his mouth keeps coughing blood, next to him was the healing ability user, trying his best to get rid of the toxins in Ji Zhang Yu's body.

"... How did you lose?"

Ji Zhongyu raised his head, "the opponent is a poison element ability, he is not only extremely fast, extremely strong, but his use of venom is terrifying, he can actually summon a poison dragon, which can be divided into countless raindrops fall, although I can see clearly, but could not avoid ..."

"And, and the other party's combat suit is also odd, I had seized an opportunity to unleash "ice spirit double blade" and cut the other party's back, but surprisingly failed to break open that combat suit!"

"By the way, where is the ice spirit double knife?" The head of the Chi family asked.

"I… lost it. My opponent snatched it from me when I was defeated."

"..."

He couldn't believe what he had just heard? That is his weapon ah !!!!

His face turned blue-red, his nostrils were spewing white smoke. It took a moment to slow down before asking, "Do you remember what that man looked like?"

"He... had a flat head, popular face, regular height ..."

His face has gotten more blue, smoldering nostrils seemed to have brought sound effects.

And then his nephew continued, "But that person's equipment was very distinctive, his hands wore gloves inlaid with gems, and combat clothing, seems to be painted with a giant tree in the sky, I have seen people wearing similar combat clothing before!"

"I have also seen it. I just lost to a person wearing a similar combat suit!"

"The Hunter whose clothes are painted with a giant tree seems to be quite a few. Could they be from one of the big powers? But there are too many people!"

A few large organizations around the pillar of light exchanged information, only to find that their own Hunter also met the Hunter wearing the same suit.

...

High in the sky against the space, the number of hunters competing decreased gradually. Soon, only two hundred remain.

Chen Haiping quickly ordered people to count the official Hunter of the Tree Shade. Amongst the two hundred people, there were eleven mercenaries and twenty-eight hunters.

Combined, it was close to one-fifth of the total number of qualifications.

A very considerable number!

The number of low-level hunters in the eastern eight districts was in the tens of millions! The Tree Shade Shelter, on the other hand, only had over ten thousand official Hunter, plus two to three hundred thousand adventurers.

Suppose you count the other regions of the Tiannan Province, the Lixia Shelter, the Yangtze Delta area, and the Hunter associated with the Northern Court ... and Tree Shade. In that case, Tang Yu estimates that there must be 70 to 80 people who have gained access.

At this time, countless golden rays of light descended from the sky.

Some of these rays were thick, and some were thin.

Precisely landed on every Hunter who had participated in the primary competition.

Hoo~

A triple awakened person's aura soared and broke through to the fourth level in one go.

A person who had been badly injured and even had a broken arm, under the light, recovered from his injury in the blink of an eye, flesh buds grew out of his broken arm, a new white and tender arm appeared in a moment.

There were even hunters at the peak of the fifth level, which broke through the bottleneck and crossed into the body-shaping realm under the golden light.

Tang Yu noticed that the thickness of the golden light represents the strength and weakness of the gift, the thickest light was naturally those hunters who were amongst the two hundred, and each one of them, without exception, broke through the bottleneck!

This was such a big deal that even he was shocked.

If you fail, there was a consolation prize, and for those who stood out, the reward was even more eye-catching ... This was just a bonus, and Tang Yu naturally knows that the most precious thing was the access qualification, whose role is still unclear.

The countdown to the start of the intermediate level ended without dawdling and appeared in the minds of every Hunter who was about to participate.

The majority of the participants in the beginner's level are either newcomers or "scraps" who were unable to break through and have been abandoned by the expert group.

For these people, even if they were the two hundred hunters who had gained access, the bigwigs didn't care about them. No matter what, their strength was too weak.

Even if some hunters were wearing Tree Shade combat suits, the expert parties were only vaguely aware of it but didn't pay attention. --The fight just now was more like a fun match before the official start of the competition.

But in the intermediate section, it's different!

Even among the major powers, the Hunters who participated were at least the middle power, even the top of the major powers, or the executives themselves!

The atmosphere was suddenly different.

Among the official Tree Shade Hunter, those who were about to participate made their final preparations. Tang Yu looked around and saw a number of familiar faces.

Cousin Chen Xiaojia, municipal minister Chen Haiping, martial arts school apprentice Cai Jiajia, guard corps Zhao Ming, investigation corps Ma Jiaze, intelligence department Hai Honghui ...

They were all elites.

This time… it might give Tree Shade a chance to shine on this massive stage.
