Chapter 59 Facing the Mask Head-on, the Battle Begins!
Chapter 59 Facing the Mask Head-on, the Battle Begins!
[Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have received a seven-star reward: Little Auspicious Grass King Naxida!]
Upon hearing the system notification, Liu Lang practically wanted to jump for joy! It was Naxida?!
Then there's Naxida, the goddess of wisdom...
Is there any way to... keep living?
If the occasion weren't inappropriate, Liu Lang would have summoned Nasita right now...
However, the most important thing right now is to deal with the situation at hand...
Liu Lang looked at the Masked Squad on the stage. The Masked Squad's final fate was a tragedy.
However, I can barely take care of myself right now, so it's hard for me to manage them.
You can't just go up to the king and tell him that you might be the only one left when all your teammates die while you're doing a mission.
Then what are you going to do?
However, if I can survive...
It's not possible to let them escape the fate of the [Masked] squad, except for King Mask, who was wiped out.
After all, Wang Mian, who couldn't outrun the river of time, truly "knocked" Liu Lang...
The seven people on the stage, bathed in sunlight, their masks concealed in darkness... King Mask slowly began to speak: "Hello everyone, we are the [Masked] team..."
But before he could finish speaking, the vortex beside him had already uncontrollably started to...
Kneel down.
Thump—! The sound of a knee hitting the ground was heard by almost everyone in the silent arena.
Whirlpool knelt down directly in front of everyone.
Whirlpool: ▄█?█●
Mask: (owo?ゝ∠)
Yuan Gang: (? Yi?) !
The new recruits were bewildered by the sudden kneeling of the vortex. What... was going on?
The air suddenly froze as Yuan Gang stared at the vortex within the [Masked] squad...
An unrealistic thought popped into my head—won't the [Masked] team mess up this time?
Before Yuan Gang could think further, the vortex on the stage had a sudden inspiration and said to everyone, "Vortex from the Masked Squad wishes everyone a Happy New Year in advance!"
Even though the vortex came to the rescue in time, this potentially impressive display of power was ruined by the vortex.
Rose gritted her teeth and glared at Whirlpool. If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of the new recruits, she would have definitely rushed over and given Whirlpool a good beating!
The vortex pretended nothing had happened, stood up, and struck the same pose as before, standing proudly upright.
"Seven Nights, is this 'Masked' squad a fake?" Baili Pangpang asked hesitantly, seeing that Vortex was even less reliable than himself. "Could it be that the instructors couldn't get the 'Masked' squad to come, so they specially invited a bunch of fakes to fill in?"
Lin Qiye looked at the King standing at the very front of the platform, and from him, Lin Qiye sensed a faint divine power...
He shook his head at Baili Pangpang and said, "...It shouldn't be."
Because they were all agents of the gods, Lin Qiye was able to sense the divine power emanating from the King's Face...
Lin Qiye had also felt this divine power from Lei Yingdian.
But... Liu Lang didn't have it.
Therefore, this is why Lin Qiye and the other Night Watchers never suspected that Liu Lang was actually Thor's agent.
The divine power emanating from Liu Lang was not manifested even when he used "Divine Ruins".
Most of it is concentrated in the film "Lei".
Wang Mian on the stage also noticed the two divine agents below the stage.
However, it wasn't Liu Lang and Lin Qiye, but rather Lei Yingdian and Lin Qiye...
With Wang Mian's current strength, he simply couldn't see through the disguise Lei Yingdian had given Liu Lang.
Lei Yingdian, his purple eyes gleaming, stared at the king in front of him, looking at this agent of the God of Time with a mocking expression.
Upon seeing the king's face, she couldn't help but think of the Time Lord of Teyvat... [The Ruler of Time].
Lei Yingdian and Lin Qiye were both well-known among the Night Watchers, especially Lei Yingdian, a god from a myth that had never been understood before.
Even the higher-ups of the Night's Watch once wondered if she might not be an agent of the gods...
However, the divine power that appeared on Lei's movie and confronted the Seraphim Michael in the sky above Cangnan City truly reappeared.
The divine ruins of a divine agent are a gift from the gods, and in return, the agent will receive a divine command.
The instruction sent to the Great Xia Night Watch headquarters was "The Way of Heaven is vast and eternal, and the Divine Land is everlasting."
The Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch believed this was a gesture of goodwill from the gods behind the other side towards Great Xia, and thus maintained the status quo regarding Lei Yingdong and Liu Lang of the Night's Watch...
Trust them as long as they don't show any problems.
Wang Mian pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at the many new recruits present, and said calmly, "We are the special team [Masked]."
"Hiss~" The new recruits all gasped.
This is actually the special squad [Masked]?
Seeing this opportunity, Yuan Gang seized the chance and said, "Since you are not convinced, then I will give you a chance, a chance to see yourselves clearly, and a chance to truly come into contact with top geniuses!!"
It's 2:30 PM now. Before 9 PM tonight, all 241 recruits, by any means necessary, will win if they can remove the mask from any member of the [Masked] squad!
If you win, it will prove that you are indeed exceptionally strong, and this year's training camp will not need to continue. I will apply for your graduation tomorrow!
However, if no one can do it before nine o'clock, then you will all be throwing your ridiculous pride and arrogance into the latrine!
Whatever requirements we make during the training camp, you must strictly adhere to them!!
Do you understand? !”
Upon hearing Yuan Gang's words, all the new recruits present fell silent for a moment.
Then someone objected, saying, "This isn't fair! They're mostly experts at the 'River' or 'Sea' realms, while we're all at the 'Bright Lamp' realm. How can we fight like this? There's no way we can win!"
Yuan Gang sneered, responding mercilessly to the new recruits' protests: "Fair?"
In this world, strength is the only measure of fairness!
Who do you think you are?
Here, you're just newbies, you haven't even touched the threshold of the 'Sichuan' realm, yet you dare to clamor for fairness?"
His words were as cold as ice, making the faces of the new recruits present turn ugly.
Although they were angry, they could not refute it.
After all, the difference in strength was undeniable; each member of the [Masked] squad was someone they had to look up to.
He originally planned to have the Masked Squad suppress their own cultivation level to the "Zhan" realm before fighting these new recruits, since "7 people vs. 241 people" sounded exciting.
However, he was afraid that the Masked Squad would fail, since there were two "Pool" level recruits among the new recruits, one of whom was a god's agent.
So Yuan Gang compromised and said, "In this battle, all members of the [Masked] team will suppress their cultivation level to the same level as yours!"
At the same level, 241 people versus 7 people!
Do you think this is fair?
"Do you... dare to?"
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Since we are all at the same level.
Therefore, fundamentally speaking, there is no absolute difference between strong and weak.
The remaining differences are simply in tactical coordination, strategy, and combat skills.
Although the members of the [Masked] team are all well-established and powerful individuals.
But there are 241 of them after all!
Faced with such a huge disparity in numbers, what good is strength?
You could probably overwhelm the Masked Man just by sheer numbers, right? It's just taking off a mask, what's so difficult about that?
"it is good!"
"I agree!"
"A word is settled!"
"I accept the challenge!"
"We accept the challenge!"
The new recruits responded enthusiastically, their voices rising and falling, their eyes filled with fighting spirit and determination.
After all, no one who can come here is a coward.
Baili Pangpang looked at Lin Qiye excitedly and said, "We have 241 against their seven, what are we afraid of? Come on!"
If we really knock off their masks, how prestigious would that be? This is the special squad, [Masked]!
Wang Mian looked at the excited recruits below, his gaze slowly sweeping over their faces, and said calmly, "To deal with you all, we don't need seven people; five of us are enough!"
Upon hearing Wang Mian's words, the new recruits immediately erupted in chaos.
"What? Five people? They actually look down on us like that?"
"How arrogant! Do they think we're easy to bully?"
Baili Pangpang clenched his fists angrily, "Are they really that arrogant?"
Lin Qiye calmly analyzed, "This isn't arrogance; it's actually their strategy. After all, the rule of this battle is that removing their masks is the key to victory, so they're probably excluding those who aren't good at fighting."
"Look..." Lin Qiye gestured for Baili Pangpang to look towards the [Masked] team.
The two members of the [Masked] team talked briefly in front of the King and then quickly left.
"Then let's begin!" Yuan Gang gave the order, and the entire training ground instantly erupted in excitement.
Just after Yuan Gang finished speaking, the woman wearing a rose mask raised the small hammer in her hand.
In an instant, the small hammer in her hand rapidly grew larger, transforming into a giant hammer several stories high in the blink of an eye.
The giant hammer exuded a chilling aura, as if it contained boundless power.
With a swing of her arm, the giant hammer, accompanied by a whooshing sound, crashed down like a small mountain onto the recruits who had not yet had time to scatter!
The recruits, who hadn't had time to escape, stared wide-eyed in terror as the enormous hammer came crashing down on them, their hearts filled with despair and fear.
They tried to dodge, but it was too late; they could only watch helplessly as the giant hammer drew ever closer.
With a loud "boom," the ground shook violently, and dust flew everywhere.
The giant hammer smashed down on the recruits, but none of them were ordinary people, so no one was directly crushed into a meat patty with blood splattering everywhere.
However, the new recruits were also thrown away by the impact of the powerful hammer, crashing to the ground and suffering serious injuries.
"Ah! It's already started?" Before Baili Pangpang could even figure out what was going on, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
"Seven Nights, let's run away?" Baili Pangpang advised.
"Hmm." Lin Qiye nodded. "We have no weapons right now, but they are fully armed... Let's run first!"
"Liu Lang!" Lin Qiye shouted, "Aren't you going to run?"
Liu Lang looked at the five members of the [Masked] team, his face full of excitement. "A 'Cup' Realm cultivator is beating someone at the 'Pool' Realm! Why is he running away?"
He waved his hand and said, "Run? Why would we run?"
He then reached his hand into the void, and with a flash of light, two weapons appeared in his hand.
These two weapons are "Kitain Jumonji" and "Naginata no Inahi".
He gripped the "Inari of Nagigusa" tightly, then threw it forcefully towards Rai, shouting, "Catch!"
Lei Film watched as the "Inari of Nagikusa" flew over, and she calmly caught it.
She gripped the long handle of the naginata tightly, feeling the power emanating from her old companion, "Naginata no Inahi".
Wielding his naginata, he charged toward Rose, who was unleashing a wide-area AOE attack!
"Your opponent is me!" Lei Yingdian's voice rang out like thunder across the training ground.
Molly sensed that Lei was radiating power far exceeding her own.
She attacked Rose directly, slowing her retreat and turning to look in the direction of Lei Movie.
Lei's speed was extremely fast; her figure appeared in front of Rose almost instantly.
The naginata seemed to come alive in her hands, leaving trails of pale purple lightning as it aimed straight for Rose's vital point.
Seeing Lei Yingdong attack, Rose did not dodge or avoid, but instead went to meet him head-on.
Although her giant hammer was enormous, it was exceptionally agile under her control, managing to block Lei Yingdian's attack.
But... at this moment, Rose has suppressed her cultivation level to the "cup" level.
Faced with Lei's movie's basic attack.
"Clang-!"
The sound of metal clashing was deafening.
The moment the sound rang out, this place became the focus of attention on the field.
Meanwhile, Liu Lang was not idle either.
Holding the "Kitain Jumonji", he activated "Divine Transformation: Evil Radiance Awakening" and attacked the vortex!
