The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 373 - The Predestined Ending

Chapter 373 The Predestined Ending

Li Tianlan didn’t know how many people were watching the maneuver.

Those at the scene, those who couldn’t be there because of other things but were still paying attention to the maneuver, and other forces outside Zhongzhou State...

It was arguably the most boring maneuver since the establishment of the Sky Academy and the Deep-sea Academy.

But also, it could be said to be the maneuver that had received the most attention since the establishment of the two academies.

In the past, team maneuvers were all wonderful from the beginning. Alliances, cooperation, betrayal, conflicts, battles, and all kinds of scenarios took place. The maneuvers had been in a fast-paced transition. It was hard to guess the real result until the last minute.

But this maneuver was quite different from the past ones.

Compared to all the previous maneuvers, this one had the largest number of teams that had given up participating in the maneuver, the least number of participants, and the students with the simplest and clearest stances.

There were no multipartite games in this maneuver.

There was only a clear distinction between ourselves and the enemy.

Among dozens of teams in the two academies, most of them gave up, and only seven teams with a total number of 106 people participated in the maneuver.

East Emperor Palace, Phantom Palace, Three Thousand World, Jilei Mountain, Blizzard, Elite, and Great Vortex.

The six teams totaled 105 people.

The East Emperor Palace only had one person.

In terms of numbers, it was a struggle between the weak and the strong.

Such a comparison ensured that this maneuver would either become the one with the highest death rate or the one with the lowest death rate compared to previous ones.

Ten credits for each person in the team maneuver.

Abstention, serious injury, and death were all credits.

If Li Tianlan alone could defeat everyone, the accumulated credits plus the two thousand credits for the first place of the maneuver were more than three thousand credits.

If these credits belonged to the East Emperor Palace, it would eventually exceed the sum of all the credits of the other three power groups of the young generation.

And the final maneuver would also end early.

In other words, the race for the first place of the maneuver would end early.

It was indeed a very boring thing.

But boring as it was, it was worth paying attention to.

Everyone was concerned about the grievances between the Wang family of Beihai, Kunlun City, and the Li family.

They were concerned about the life and death of several young Chosen Ones in Zhongzhou State.

They were concerned about the turmoil after the Giant Group, the Southeast Group, and the Special Warfare Group had completely fallen out with each other.

They were concerned about the potential of the several young people who would become the peak combat power of Zhongzhou State in two decades.

The maneuver this time was boring but exciting enough.

Li Tianlan could almost feel the eyes falling on the big screen outside the maneuver area.

Behind those eyes were enemies, friends, possible investment, and uncertain killing intent.

If he could defeat the combination of the six teams today, he would then be entitled to a higher status than anyone of them.

The Li family was still there.

Li Tianlan, who had shown enough strength and had the strong support of the Dongcheng Clan, would give countless people real confidence.

At least he would no longer be a young man in the hearts of others who only had potential but no support.

He was backed by the Dongcheng Clan.

From the moment the 40,000 elite troops of the Border Control Corps rushed into the Sky Academy, Li Tianlan knew clearly that the future of the Dongcheng Clan would be the same as that of the Li family, becoming his responsibility.

He should not escape. Nor could he escape.

He had to shoulder the Li family and even the entire Dongcheng Clan with his sword.

He knew his sword could do that.

But others didn’t know that.

So in this maneuver, Li Tianlan just wanted to show his sword to the whole world!

The sword itself had nothing to hide.

The dense forest in the maneuver area was tranquil.

This area was large, but there were very few participants. It was difficult for people who entered the maneuver area from different directions to gather as soon as possible.

Participants in the maneuver were allowed to bring cold weapons with them, but they were not armed with any firearms, ammunition, and communication devices.

All weapons and communication devices were scattered throughout the maneuver area.

They could pick up weapons at will.

Not long after Li Tianlan advanced in the woods, he saw a sniper rifle and a few bullets which were thrown randomly on the grass.

Li Tianlan didn’t bother to spare it a glance. He stepped on the sniper rifle, crushed it, and continued to move forward.

The maneuver of both academies was still in progress in accordance with the old rules.

However, the students participating in the maneuver today were all real masters and elites, and few would use firearms.

Moreover, their target was Li Tianlan.

Very few special weapons could harm Li Tianlan, a person whose strength had reached such a level. Ordinary high-powered sniper rifle would pose a certain threat to him only if its muzzle were pressed against him.

Tens of meters ahead, Li Tianlan discovered a military multi-channel communicator.

The communicator was on. Li Tianlan adjusted several channels. After getting no information, he crushed it with his hands.

He stood where he was, thinking about what he would do if he were Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan.

The maneuver area was so large that participants could not gather for the time being. Although communication equipment could be found on the ground, multi-channel communicators made it difficult to communicate with each other.

The best they could do, of course, was to assemble.

Everyone had seen the environment of the maneuver area from the big screen.

The woods, pond, warehouse, and teaching building.

The surroundings of the dense forest were similar, and the meeting place could not be here.

The pond was in the middle of the forest, neither too big nor too small. Even people familiar with the Sky Academy could hardly locate it accurately for a while.

Only the teaching building and the warehouse, which was adjacent to the former, were located in the center of the maneuver area. They were the easiest places to locate.

The most likely place for the six teams to gather would be the warehouse and the teaching building, which were almost next to each other.

The other party had an absolute advantage. They could first gather people together and distribute communication equipment. After grouping, they could search for him with the warehouse and teaching building as the center. It was the most reasonable arrangement, and perhaps it was even the only one they could make.

Li Tianlan looked around and smiled suddenly.

The forest was dense, and the surroundings were almost the same. Participants were only able to tell the direction by looking at the sun in the sky. Given the size of the maneuver area, it would take at least two hours for the other side to assemble everyone.

It was almost enough time for Li Tianlan to walk around the maneuver area alone.

The corners of Li Tianlan’s mouth lifted slightly.

He waved the branch in his hand to the sky.

The gently shaking branch appeared on the screen in front of the third stand, occupying almost the entire screen.

The noise above the stand remained.

Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun stood expressionlessly, looking at the screen in front.

And beside them, Dongcheng Wudi suddenly laughed wildly and unrestrainedly after a brief shock.

Everyone was looking at the screen, including the 40,000 elite troops.

Everyone looked shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone saw Li Tianlan’s sword, his path to the Invincible Realm, and even his road of becoming the Chosen One.

From that moment on, his title “the Chosen One” seemed to have become genuinely uncontroversial.

The premise was that Li Tianlan could survive.

Wang Tianzong sat down slowly, his face gloomy.

He found that he had, after all, underestimated that young man.

The big screen was divided into many small screens.

Figures flickered on every small screen.

Wang Shengxiao was rushing forward.

Gu Hanshan was charging with all his might.

Li Tianlan was also moving fast.

Everyone was charging in a direction.

All the small screens were mirrored with images of tension and silence.

But all this lost its meaning in Wang Tianzong’s eyes.

In his eyes, the ending of this highly anticipated maneuver was already doomed from the moment Li Tianlan stepped into the maneuver area and broke off the branch.
