Free Web NovelChapter 618: Chapter 424: Sea Beasts Surging, First to Enter the Ancient Battlefield—Who Is This Extraordinary Person?
"Let’s give up and break out upwards!"
"Okay!"
The Eastern General Star’s face was full of apology. After a fierce fight, the two managed to break out.
"Sorry, I dragged you down. Why did you save me?"
"Even though this is a competition, we are comrades from the Five Major War Zones. There’s no ’why’ in saving a comrade. If I were surrounded and you saw it, would you just stand by?"
"Of course not. I would naturally step in. I’m Xiao Yang from the Eastern War Zone. I owe you my life, brother."
"Qin Heng from the Southern War Zone."
After the two broke through to the surface, they felt the gaze of the crowd and immediately lowered their heads.
"So quickly eliminated. Oh, it’s someone from the Southern War Zone, and one from the Eastern War Zone."
"Ah, the Southern War Zone, that’s no surprise. In several competitions, their War Zone has always been at the bottom."
"This time, I guess their Southern War Zone will be at the bottom again."
After boarding the battleship, the two handed over their competition identity tokens and heard the discussions. Xiao Yang felt even more guilty and immediately turned around, "This time, it was my fault. If he hadn’t saved me, he wouldn’t have been eliminated."
The discussions stopped, but many didn’t care. And Qin Heng was aware that he was eliminated anyway, representing the Southern War Zone. This time he indeed brought disgrace to his War Zone, so he didn’t argue.
Returning to the battleship belonging to the Southern War Zone, Qin Heng immediately lowered his head, "Sir, I brought shame to the War Zone..."
Before he could finish, he wasn’t met with blame. Zhao Dong came over and lightly patted Qin Heng’s shoulder with a smile.
"I know everything about what happened underwater. You did the right thing, and you said it well. This competition is harder than previous ones, the Military Department anticipated this, and the Sea Beast level was expected to eliminate some..."
"Besides, I believe you have the ability to enter the Ancient Battlefield. In short, you did nothing wrong, and you shouldn’t dwell on it."
Hearing this, Qin Heng’s body trembled, but he felt increasingly ashamed inside.
Zhao Dong seemed to see through Qin Heng’s thoughts. He looked into the distance, "Just wait. This time our Southern War Zone won’t be at the bottom again."
Zhao Dong’s tone shifted with a hint of curiosity, "I just wonder what that boy Su Mu is doing right now? He can’t be napping, can he?"
"Sir, what’s up with Su Mu?"
"See for yourself."
Zhao Dong handed over a device resembling a tablet, displaying individual real-time merits, and hunting Sea Beasts was also counted. When he saw the first line, he couldn’t help but gasp.
Currently, topping the points was none other than the Central War Zone’s 001, Ling Jue.
"Nine hundred twenty-eight thousand five hundred points? Close to a million points without even entering the Ancient Battlefield?"
At the same time, Qin Heng’s merits were less than thirty thousand, while others were close to a million. The second place after Ling Jue was Gu You, but with just barely three hundred thousand points, Ling Jue was ahead by more than double.
As Qin Heng scrolled down, he didn’t see Su Mu’s name in the top ten, which puzzled him.
Where is Su Mu?
"Just scroll all the way to the bottom and see."
Huh?!
Scroll to the bottom?
Could it be...
Qin Heng was stunned. When he scrolled to the bottom, he saw Su Mu’s name at the very last line, and his points were...
Zero!
"This, this can’t be, how is that possible? With Su Mu’s ability, how could it still be zero? Could it be an error in the merit list..."
"Why not? The merit list doesn’t make mistakes. Everyone else is fine, so how could Su Mu be an exception?"
In Zhao Dong’s tone there was a slight hint of annoyance. Su Mu not only was late for the competition opening, but was still slacking off?
Just when Qin Heng was organizing his thoughts to say something for Su Mu, suddenly the central battleship echoed with a grand salute.
Immediately, everyone in the bay focused their attention. The first salute was extraordinary, indicating someone had crossed the Sea Beast group first!
First to reach the Ancient Battlefield!
"To reach the Ancient Battlefield so quickly, it should be Ling Jue, right?" Qin Heng muttered, almost as if this was his instinctive thought.
Who would be the first? freewёbnoνel.com
"No doubt, it must be Ling Jue."
"But it could also be Gu You, having a high score doesn’t necessarily mean anything, and Ling Jue probably attracted the most Sea Beasts, he might not be the first to arrive!"
"It’s possible, but the odds aren’t high."
For a moment, the soldiers of the major War Zones were all discussing.
Under everyone’s attention, a projection of the identity token serial number appeared on the central battleship, and simultaneously an elder from the Military Department broadcast this serial number throughout the bay.
"Southern War Zone 020?"
Upon seeing the serial number, the venue fell silent, many showed disbelief, thinking they must be mistaken.
They couldn’t believe their eyes and ears, and some even doubted reality.
Not only was the first to reach the Ancient Battlefield not Ling Jue from the Central War Zone 001, it also wasn’t any of the first in other War Zones like Gu You!
What was even more shocking was not only was the Southern War Zone always at the bottom, but it wasn’t even the first ranked 001 there, but rather the last ranked 020?!
For a moment, nearly everyone couldn’t suppress a surge of extreme curiosity.
"Who on earth is this person?!"
