Within the World Master world of Canglan Star.
Luo Feng and the other four were quickly cleaning up the battlefield.
“Hahaha, as expected of the elite younger generation of Hundred Tiger Tower. This little girl actually uses a smart optical computer. I do not need to buy one anymore, I can just use this one!” Thunder God said proudly.
Luo Feng used the “intelligent life” that surpassed ordinary intelligence, Hong used a smart optical computer, while Thunder God had previously only used an auxiliary computer.
“There is also a spatial ring.”
“And a mental weapon.”
“The treasures of these six Stellar level ninth ranks combined cannot even compare to what this girl has.” Tie Nanhe acted quickly, sweeping away all valuable items.
Among the six Stellar level ninth ranks, three were spirit readers and three were warriors.
However, their strength was close to the Nuolan Guards, so within Hundred Tiger Tower, they belonged to the lower level cannon fodder. This time, they had only been assigned to protect two elites.
“Ao Gu, this flying mental weapon belongs to you.”
“Tie Nanhe, choose whichever force weapon you like.”
“As for this spatial ring…” Luo Feng looked towards Thunder God, Ao Gu, and Tie Nanhe.
Thunder God immediately shouted, “Let me take a look at this spatial ring first. The spatial ring I use myself is the smallest size.”
Among the five members of the team, Luo Feng and Hong had already possessed spatial rings for a long time. Thunder God had purchased his own.
It was the smallest type.
“Haha, it really is bigger than my spatial ring.” Thunder God was extremely happy.
……
Thunder God, Tie Nanhe, and Ao Gu adjusted their equipment. After that, the group quickly left the battlefield and arrived at the foot of a mountain thousands of kilometres away. Only then did the five stop.
“Next, we should go find the Wind Corner Stone.” Luo Feng looked at everyone.
“The Wind Corner Stone only exists in one place within the World Master world, the core area of the Thunder World, the Wind Thunder Canyon.” Hong looked at the screen on his arm guard and lightly tapped it while examining the information.
“From our current location to Wind Thunder Canyon, the distance exceeds 300,000 kilometres. Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take us nearly a month to arrive.”
300,000 kilometres.
Within the World Master world, firstly, the gravity was extremely strong. Secondly, Luo Feng and the others could not fly at their maximum speed. Relying on Babata’s detection and proceeding as smoothly as possible, they could generally only advance 10,000 kilometres per day.
They still needed a month to arrive.
“The groups of One Horned Iron Rhinoceroses living in this World Master world are all located far away from the core area.”
“No matter where we go to hunt the One Horned Iron Rhinoceroses, we will eventually have to travel to Wind Thunder Canyon.” Thunder God frowned.
“The Universe Mercenary Alliance arranged the mission this way clearly to make us cross half of the World Master world.”
There were naturally many dangers in the World Master world.
Crossing half of the World Master world would definitely involve one life and death crisis after another. Even with detection systems, they were of little use against certain natural dangers.
“This is training, and elimination.” Luo Feng shook his head.
“The Universe Mercenary Alliance wants to eliminate those who are unqualified. If someone cannot even pass this stage, they will never have the qualifications to wander and adventure through the universe.”
“Mm.” Hong nodded.
“From our current location to Wind Thunder Canyon in the core area of the World Master world, there are three routes. Everyone, take a look and decide which one we should choose.”
“These three routes…” Thunder God looked at the map on the screen.
“They are all quite dangerous.”
“The first route.” Luo Feng said.
The first route had more fierce beasts gathering, but fewer natural dangers. Of course, that was only relative to the other two routes.
“Alright, the first route.” Hong nodded.
“Then let’s go!” Thunder God said directly.
……
Luo Feng’s team began their longest journey within the World Master world. They did not dare fly high into the sky because that would simply attract fierce beasts and was an act of seeking death.
The World Master world was both heaven and hell.
An undeveloped World Master world was a huge treasure vault for many adventurers and mercenaries, making it a paradise.
At the same time, it was filled with dangers. A single mistake could result in death.
However, countless adventurers and universe mercenaries still poured into such places.
The “Thunder World” had already been extensively explored and developed long ago. Now, it was merely a tool specifically used for testing trainee mercenaries.
“Bastard!”
Beside a thorn bush in a region of the Longsuo Mountain Range, Qiu Yu held his gigantic battle blade with one hand and gritted his teeth.
Thinking of the resentful scream of his female companion before death, and the corpses of Stellar level ninth rank experts under that seemingly beautiful blue blade light, Qiu Yu felt both anger and fear. His entire body trembled uncontrollably from rage.
This was his first time entering the World Master world.
In the past, as a genius, he and many other geniuses had been carefully trained by Hundred Tiger Tower and had built a solid foundation.
Although the training was exhausting, there had never been any danger to their lives.
But this time…
“I almost died. I almost died!!!”
Qiu Yu’s heart was in turmoil.
In the past, he had been full of imagination about the future. He had killed people before, but when he personally faced death, he discovered that he was actually so afraid of dying.
“The instructor said that fear is not a mistake, but you must remain calm. Fear is also a kind of power, a force that can allow the body to evolve.”
“Calm down, calm down.”
Qiu Yu gradually settled down. He glanced at the bodyguard beside him and ordered:
“Help me watch the surroundings. I am entering the virtual universe.”
“Yes.” The bodyguard respectfully accepted the order.
……
Hundred Tiger Tower had given orders to these young elites who entered the World Master world to participate in the Universe Trainee Mercenary Examination.
Every day, they had to send an email through the virtual universe network to the supervisor.
If a companion died, they also had to explain the matter in the email.
As long as the email was sent, it meant that the member was still alive.
……
Virtual Universe Network, Black Dragon Mountain Island.
A fat man with an entire body covered in flesh and two curved horns on his head was lying on a chair. A screen floated in front of him.
“Beep!”
A new email appeared on the screen.
“Another report confirming they are still alive. Open it.” The fat man said lazily.
The email automatically opened.
The fat man slowly read through it, but suddenly he stood up in shock and stared at the email.
“This eighth squad only has two people still alive? And a second level elite has also died?”
The fat man immediately sent communication requests to the other seven members of the eighth squad.
Sure enough…
There was no response.
Hundred Tiger Tower generally assigned bodyguards according to the importance of the younger generation’s talents.
For example, a squad of ten people might have five younger generation members and five bodyguards. Some squads, however, might have one younger generation member and nine bodyguards.
The eighth squad originally had eight bodyguards and two younger generation members.
One bodyguard had already died earlier.
Clearly, the eighth squad was considered a relatively important squad.
For Hundred Tiger Tower, losing a third level elite was already painful. Losing a second level elite was even more distressing. If a first level elite was lost, they would become furious.
As for special class elites, even Hundred Tiger Tower rarely encountered one.
Those peerless geniuses were truly impossible to seek and could only be encountered by chance.
Within the universe.
The fat man opened his eyes and, through the external virtual scene, saw the enormous object in the distant starry sky.
“Since I am about to arrive at headquarters anyway, I might as well personally report this matter.”
That enormous object was a planet.
More accurately, it was a planet that looked as if it had been forged from alloy.
This was the headquarters of Hundred Tiger Tower.
Black Tiger Star.
Black Tiger Star was essentially a massive planetary fortress!
The entire planet was black. Deep passages extended throughout the planet, directly leading into its interior.
On the surface of the planet were huge cannon barrels capable of destroying a D grade universe spaceship with a single shot, along with magnetic rail cannons, large scale laser cannons, and countless other weapons.
Occasionally, some areas of the planet emitted faint blue light.
One universe spaceship after another filled the sky, like countless locusts. Large numbers of spaceships constantly flew into the planet through the deep passages, and many spaceships also emerged from those passages.
At a glance, almost all of those spaceships were at least C grade. There were even D grade universe spaceships, and occasionally E grade spaceships could be seen.
The endless spaceships were like locusts.
Meanwhile, the planetary fortress was an enormous existence constantly swallowing and releasing countless spaceships.
This was the headquarters of one of the four major universe organisations of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Hundred Tiger Tower!
Many World Master experts permanently stationed here.
The entire planet had originally been an ordinary mineral planet, but it had been transformed into a fortress using astronomical amounts of wealth.
A planetary fortress!
……
“Beep.”
The universe spaceship carrying the fat man followed the guidance signal released by the planetary fortress. It entered one of the many deep passages on the surface of Black Tiger Star.
From the perspective of space, these passages looked extremely tiny and insignificant. However, only after approaching them would one discover that every passage was more than 100 kilometres wide.
The spaceship entered the deep passage.
“Hmm, new equipment has been installed?” The fat man carefully looked at the inner walls of the passage.
Compared with before, there were now more black alloy frames embedded into the walls, resembling centipedes.
A moment later.
After the universe spaceship stopped at the docking port, the fat man wore a blue robe and walked along a wide corridor. On both sides of the corridor, virtual images of the “sky and white clouds” appeared.
At first glance, there were hundreds of people in the corridor. Almost everyone wore blue robes. Only two people wore white robes, and both had two star mercenary badges hanging on their chests.
“Greetings, my lord.”
When passing by the two white robed people, the fat man immediately bowed.
Everyone else in the corridor did the same.
Within Hundred Tiger Tower…
Blue robes represented Universe level experts, as well as some people holding extremely important positions.
The fat man was only Stellar level, but because of his authority and position, he had the qualifications to wear a blue robe.
White robes represented Domain Lord experts and a very small number of high ranking figures.
Black robes were exclusively for World Master experts.
As for Immortal existences?
Although Hundred Tiger Tower had produced Immortal beings in its history, those Immortal existences had most likely already gone to the Qian Wu Universe Country or other places.
For Immortal beings, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was simply too small to contain them.
Regardless, Hundred Tiger Tower, Black Cloud Society, North Dragon City, and Three Axe Mountain, these four major universe organisations, were all enormous powers within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
They had deep foundations and countless Universe level experts under their command.
Even the imperial family of the empire was unwilling to provoke them.
The countless universe spaceships constantly coming and going from the headquarters of Hundred Tiger Tower alone was enough to show the scale of its power.
