Chapter 783: This Time, I Don't Want to Lose
In the sixth battalion, teams returned one after another.
Under the flag in the middle of the camp, the rankings of the first round of treasure-hunting missions were listed.
[1. Battle Team No. 6: 10100 Sky merit points.]
[2. Battle Team No. 8: 7880 Sky merit points.]
[3. Battle Team No. 7: 7550 Sky merit points.]
...
[10. Battle Team No. 32: 3,330 Sky merit points.]
A collective sigh filled the air.
In the first round, ninety percent of the battle teams were eliminated.
These were the elite geniuses who had joined the hundred battle teams only after passing the cruel selection test.
One in a million.
However, this was the criterion for the selection of the royal regiment.
Only the cream of the crop!
Their only hope now was for the top ten teams to experience casualties and to be replaced.
Or perhaps, they would catch the eye of a future battle commander.
Otherwise, they would have no chance of joining the elite team of the Sille Road Little King Corps.
"Battle Team No. 6 led by Commander Ye Wang took first place?"
"He's the only one with over ten thousand Sky merit points. He's leading by a large margin. How did he manage that?"
"Sigh, I regret it! If I had known earlier, I would have volunteered. If I had joined, I would be a Heavenly warrior by now!"
"I'm impressed. Battle Team No. 6 has been leading all the way and has hardly fallen out of the top ten. They're steadily climbing, extremely stable."
"I can't believe it. During the competitive assessment, they were criticizing others and being picky. Look at them now. They just picked three Outer Sky race members and won first place with an absolute advantage!"
..
Wang Ye's outstanding performance drew envy from all the Sky race experts.
Who would have thought that a mere two-winged Undying would be so powerful?
There was only one High Dimension Lord of medium grade in the team, and he was an outsider...
Such a 'weak battle team' managed to secure first place!
They might even be the first in the fault zone!
It was simply ridiculous!
Previously, it was said that Wang Ye, the powerful member of the Sky race who relied on relationships, had been embarrassed.
What was strength?
Let the battle record speak for itself!
"How about it?" Sajee brushed her golden bangs and smiled handsomely.
"Do you think he'll be bad if he can get first place?" Xia Ludi said gently.
"Yeah. Is there a luck factor?" Sajee pondered.
"If we compete again, he'll still be in the top three," Xia Ludi said softly.
"This should be the mission you excel at. Making a mistake and only getting fourth place." Sajee chuckled.
"I did my best," Xia Ludi said firmly.
She didn't think she had made any mistakes. She had been clear about the direction of the treasure-hunting mission from the beginning.
Unfortunately, she didn't get the key in the early stages, nor did she come across any demon shillings.
She was already very satisfied to still get 5000 points in the end.
"What a pity," Sajee said. "You were originally my biggest rival," Sajee said. "But you failed to widen the gap in the first mission. In the high-dimensional battlefield mission, you can't beat me."
"Your opponent is not me. Compared to Ye Wang's 6000+ Sky merit points, it's not easy to catch up," Xia Ludi said.
Sajee burst into laughter. "6000+ Sky merit points? That's nothing. In the high-dimensional battlefield, my only opponent is Ere."
Xia Ludi smiled and didn't argue.
She knew Sajee's personality. He was not only narcissistic but also conceited.
But he did have the ability.
However, Xia Ludi couldn't shake the image of Wang Ye forcefully defeating the Barbarian Ancestral Realm team at the entrance to the secret realm.
Although he was far behind Sajee, he was still formidable and shouldn't be underestimated.
Just like before the treasure hunt mission, who would have guessed that Battle Team 6 would ultimately emerge victorious?
Moreover, he wasn't just intelligent and brave, but also remarkably experienced.
You couldn't apply common logic here.
"If we underestimate him, we'll pay a heavy price," Xia Ludi thought to herself.
...
Glory returned!
Wang Ye returned from the vibrant wastelands.
Strength and treasures aplenty!
Huh?
It seemed like everyone's gaze had shifted somewhat.
Wang Ye could keenly sense the various changes in their gazes.
Especially the top ten battle teams, who now saw him as their main competitor, with a hint of resentment mixed in.
"Hey." Wang Ye greeted Liang Tianyue with a smile.
"Humph!" Liang Tianyue glared at Wang Ye, a look of 'just you wait and see' written all over her face.
Wang Ye returned the smile.
Liang Tianyue was a decent partner.
She didn't hold grudges.
"Brother Ye!" Shakima greeted him joyfully, enveloping him in a bear hug. "Haha, you're finally back!"
"I naturally return once the mission is over," Wang Ye chuckled.
"What a bountiful harvest." Shakima's eyes sparkled. "Breaking ten thousand battle credits is no small feat! You're leading by over 6000 points ahead of Sajee, Ere, and Hazel. That's quite promising!"
"It's tough. I've never been to a high-dimensional battlefield." Wang Ye admitted. "I reckon I'll be at the bottom for the next mission."
"Impossible!" Shakima exclaimed, patting her chest firmly. "When the time comes, let's aly again. I'll do everything I can to help you earn those Sky merits!"
"Alright, we'll fight side by side when the time comes." Wang Ye agreed with a smile.
Shakima was a dependable ally, and she also came with valuable insider information!
"With our two teams combined, we won't lose to them no matter what," Shakima declared ambitiously.
"Indeed." Wang Ye nodded. "But in terms of experience and information, we're indeed lacking compared to them."
"I'll ask my sisters about it later," An Lingwu whispered. "When the time comes, Brother Ye, you make the plan, and I'll execute it. Just like in the treasure hunt mission, we'll leave no survivors!"
"Deal." Wang Ye grinned.
"Good!"
After seeing off Shakima, Master Qingning and An Lingwu approached.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Wang Ye asked, puzzled.
"Tell us the truth! Did you intentionally interact with Shakima?" An Lingwu whispered.
"No, we're just friends," Wang Ye replied. "Oh, and Xiao Wu, ask your two sisters. They have extensive connections. They might have some valuable information."
An Lingwu was speechless.
Wang Ye's smile faded. "This time, I don't want to lose."
Seeing Wang Ye's rare seriousness, An Lingwu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded gently. "Okay."
...
The top ten battle teams were gathered!
Vacancies had been filled.
Now, the remaining members could only rely on the future commander.
"Congratulations, you've become warriors of the heavenly warrior in the sixth legion of the Silk Road King Regiment," Sharuth announced calmly. "Your identities have been verified. You can enter the Nether Dream Temple to exchange for what you need."
"Prepare for the second mission."
"See you in ten years."
Swift and concise.
Sharuth didn't add anything else, fitting her personality well.
However, with only a ten-year rest period, the expressions of the battle teams turned serious.
The losses from the treasure hunt mission might not be fully recovered.
But that was the royal regiment.
They could be called for a mission at any time.
They could enter the high-dimensional battlefield at any moment.
They had to be constantly prepared for battle.
"Qingning, stay here with Xiao Gang and Shui Jing," Wang Ye instructed. "I'll give you the treasures and Immortal Herb Spiritual Plant later. While you recover, equip yourself and get accustomed to combat."
"Yes," Master Qingning replied.
She knew she couldn't afford to make any mistakes in the next mission.
In the high-dimensional battlefield, battle prowess was key.
Though they currently held the lead, they were slightly disadvantaged in terms of team strength compared to Sajee, Ere, and Hazel's teams.
Even against Lan Scarlet, Liang Tianyue, and Xia Ludi's teams, they were evenly matched.
The high-dimensional battlefield mission was fraught with variables.
So they had to be thoroughly prepared!
If Wang Ye couldn't become a commander, junior brother wouldn't be able to advance to a first-class Sky within a short time and leave the Ancestral Star to regain his freedom.
They had to win!
"Xiao Wu, I'll leave the investigation to you," Wang Ye said. "Don't feel embarrassed. Relying on your two sisters isn't something to be ashamed of. Don't waste your time and opportunities when you have resources."
"I understand," An Lingwu whispered, biting her lip. "I'll do everything I can to help you."
"Good." Wang Ye nodded. "I'll keep the Sky merit point from the treasure hunt mission for now. We'll distribute it after the high-dimensional battlefield mission."
"Understood."
After bidding farewell to his senior sister and Xiao Wu, Wang Ye headed to the Nether Ancestral Realm.
He opened the battle badge.
Identity verified.
He was officially the commander of the sixth legion of the Sille Little King Corps, the Ruth Court, at the moment!
Identity: Second-grade Sky race!
Not only did the information and privileges of the Sky race increase significantly, but the treasures that could be exchanged also increased greatly!
With 10,100 Sky merit points, he could exchange for many good things!
However, he would discuss this later.
For now, he needed to make some money!
Let's see how powerful Demon Venerable Meng Qi's demon core was!
He couldn't enter the life cultivation gene park of the Desolate Nether Region for the time being.
The Tianjia King Garden's third garden was also closed.
But the second garden was still open!
There were quite several medium-grade fierce beasts inside!
Now, he could already kill them!
With Madam Sidelle's approval, he could freely enter and leave the Fierce Beast Garden. How could he not take advantage of this?
Kill until the second garden is closed!
Ten years?
His strength was enough to increase substantially!
...
Silkroad Prefecture.
"Young Master, you truly have a discerning eye," Lu Nai said, impressed.
The five internally appointed commanders all made it into the top ten.
In first place was Ye Wang, whom she had previously underestimated.
In terms of combat ability, the Young Master surpassed her.
In terms of talent selection, the Young Master completely outshone her!
He was a born genius!
"I didn't expect this either," Sharuth remarked as she looked at the rankings. "Although luck played a role, Ye Wang is indeed outstanding. Not many people receive praise from my father."
"Young Master, do you think he can become a commander?" Lu Nai inquired.
"My opinion remains unchanged," Sharuth pondered. "Ye Wang might make it to the top three, but as for first place... at present, Sajee and Ere have a higher chance."
"Oh?" Lu Nai was surprised. "No Hazel?"
Sharuth shook her head. "He's very strong, but lacking in adaptability. He's not qualified to be a commander. If anyone can challenge Sajee and Ere, it would be Lan Scarlet."
"She's leading in the treasure hunt mission. If she can maintain that, she might have a chance to become a commander."
"She's exceptionally versatile."
Lu Nai nodded. "This high-dimensional battlefield mission isn't what they expected. It will surpass their expectations."
"The battlefield is constantly changing," Sharuth explained. "Apart from strength, all other abilities are crucial for a commander. Versatility is paramount."
"Yes," Lu Nai agreed. "I'm very curious. Who will achieve the highest score in this mission? Who will ultimately become the commander of the sixth legion?"
"We'll find out soon enough," Sharuth smiled faintly.
