Within the territory, not counting the followers, there were only a very few Hunters who had broken through the bottleneck and crossed into the 10th level of the condensed source realm.
The one that has reached the peak of the ninth level usually belongs to the second echelon of Tree Shade.
Like Chen Haiping and others, some of them were stuck at the peak of the ninth level for half a month. Although they couldn’t break through, it didn’t mean they couldn’t improve their combat power. They turned their energy to exploring the “Tower of Trials” and studying skills.
The mercenary can’t practice in the spiritual space all the time, but Chen Haiping. Although he belongs to the middle-level of the Tree Shade hierarchy, he still gets the privilege to use the spiritual space and some other facilities. However, he still needs to pay for them. Compared to their salaries, it is almost an unlimited supply.
In the “Tower of Trials”, the best of the apprentices of each corps have reached level sixty or even more, and each of these people was proficient in three or five battle techniques/spells.
For these people, Tang Yu has enough confidence.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The sparring space is clearly presented to everyone’s eyes – at least the middle and senior hunter. Once you show the strength of the Tree Shade’s Hunter, you can take advantage of this opportunity to collect talents from all over the world!
………..
At his request, Chen Haiping wore an official Tree Shade badge in the most conspicuous spot of his uniform. The pattern of the badge and the pattern on the combat uniform were similar. –A huge tree that runs through heaven and earth.
The insignia of the martial arts school, the major regiments, the intelligence department, between all these departments, there were some differences in the details. For example, the insignia of the guard regiment placed a shield at the root, symbolizing the imperial guard.
But in each of those symbols, there was a huge lush green tree.
Symbolizing their Shelter, Tree Shade Shelter.
This was the origin of the insignia, but Tang Yu would not admit that it was a random thought in his head.
…..
When the time came, all the people present from the sixth to the ninth level were teleported away.
The number of people is nowhere near as many as the lower-level hunters, and even with everyone going at the same time, the little orange boxes still didn’t fill the entire sky.
In the beginner section, the size of the battlespace was about 400*400, while in the intermediate section, Tang Yu noticed that the battle area had expanded more than ten times.
“It should be that as the level rises, a wider space is needed to bring out the strength of the combatant, and if the distance is too close, it will not be fair to those who are good at long-range combat.”
“But this sparring space has nothing, and it’s very dull. If Tree Shade was the one to host this event, surely there must be random terrain, such as mountains, rivers, plains, lakes, and so on.”
Tang Yu looked up, and the battle had already begun.
Sixth-level hunter, no matter where it was placed, was the backbone of the force, but not like the beginner tournament, which was laxer and chill. The atmosphere in this arena was more intense.
Levitation, sword and shadow, energy burst ……
Tang Yu watched with great interest – some rare special ability that he had never seen before.
Next to him, Elaine likewise looked up and gazed, sometimes confused, sometimes thoughtful, “So that’s it, the essence of this ability is to use fire energy as if it were water ……”
Tang Yu turned his head, a little confused.
‘What’s she talking about?’
‘I’m the one with “Eye of Insight” but even I didn’t understand what actually happened!’
……
After waiting for about ten minutes or so, the first round of battle has basically ended.
Both the winners and losers were transported back to their original locations.
Tang Yu took a look from afar, from the degree of aura disorder you can generally judge the hunter’s victory or defeat, this way to observing hunters was quite satisfactory, the official Tree Shade hunters, including the more distant adventurers, more than four out of five people have achieved victory.
It’s only right to think about it.
After all, the hunter of the sixth level can buy themselves a set of decent rune equipment and have participated in the training camp for a short time, unlike the beginner section.
These Hunters were transported back, the injured rush to find a way to recover in the temporary camp built by the Tree Shade, you can buy healing potions or scrolls …… in order to let more people shortlisted, these recovery goods are sold at a 50% discount, Tang Yu even organized a group of healing ability user without the need to participate, ready to stand by.
He ensured that the hunters under his command were in the best condition to participate in the martial duel.
If the Awakened of other regions knew about it, they would probably curse his Shelter, which has better equipment than them, more combat experience, and even equipped with props and logistics team. How can they fight?
–The first thing you need to do is become a part of the tree shade ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌.
……
In the second round, the third round, the battle went on quickly.
In addition to the occasional lucky turn, the hunter’s rest time will not exceed ten minutes each time. However, after the end of a game of martial arts, in addition to injuries, physical strength and source power will be restored to full strength. The high intensity of the battle made them mentally strained.
One of the battlespace.
“Strong, too strong, obviously just a Hunter at the beginning of the eighth level ……”
And he himself, at the peak of the ninth weight, who have been settling for quite some time, was one of the strongest few people in the area, even if his nephew lost the “ice spirit double blade”, he also replaced it with another, obtained from the relic, the weapon with comparable strength.
He was facing an eighth-level hunter for a while and had been injured.
He saw that his combat suit was cut, and there was a wound on his left arm, deep enough to see the bone.
The head of Chi was quickly transported back to the ground, and the healing abilities within the legion rushed up to help him recover from his injuries.
At this time, the leader of the force stationed next door came over…
“I guess it will take two or three more rounds before we can advance, Old Chi. Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I once escaped from the mouth of the tenth demonized beast, I was confident in my strength, but I never thought that I would always feel that I was the one who was crossed.”
“Is that true? What kind of opponent did you meet?” The leader of the next-door force was puzzled.
‘The Daxia Kingdom, indeed, has a lot of capable people. But looking at The head of Chi’s appearance, why does it look like he has received a beating?’
“You don’t know, I met a ninth level hunter in the last round and defeated the opponent in two and a half minutes, but in the last round, I met a person who had entered the eighth level, and I thought my luck had come, but who knows, it took nearly nine minutes of circling before I found a chance and wounded the opponent, forcing him to admit defeat, but even so, I was injured, and if that person was stronger, let’s say with the peak of the eighth level, that … I’m not even sure if I could have won.”
“How is that possible!”
The chief next door did not dare to believe.
The old man said bitterly, “That person, wearing a battle suit with a giant tree pattern painted on it.”
His body was shaken, “Then people from that place… are really… terribly strong?”
The chief next door did hear that someone under him was eliminated by someone wearing a giant tree combat suit, but at that time, he still didn’t understand the situation.
He suddenly realizes the gap between them.
“I hope at the next game I don’t meet that hunter from the same force again.”
…
A short break passed, and the head of Chi was once again transported into the battlespace.
“The aura of the peak of the ninth level, from the looks of it, it should be a normal battle-“
But his eyes suddenly widened.
‘It’s the opposite….’
The man was a thousand meters away, holding two hideous sledgehammers. On the shoulders of his clothes, there were three marks, and on the front of the battle suit, there was a pattern that he was incredibly familiar with.
‘How did we run into each other again!’
“Wait, and his badge, there’s also that giant tree, could it be ……”
Before the head of Chi’s battle, he asked his forces about the different clothing that their opponent wore. There were several variations of badges on the chest, beast totem, sword, and harpoon anything, but some of them didn’t even have a badge.
And at this time, he saw for the first time the combat clothing pattern which matches the badge….
‘Could it be the executive of that powerful corps?’
‘What kind of powerhouse of a country is it? The Northern Court?’
It was too late to think about it. His opponent had raised his sledgehammer high, slammed down on the ground, and shook the whole space. The shockwave was so strong that it was visible to the naked eye, like a wave, drifting layer by layer towards him.
What an absurd power.
He only had time to hold his sword with both hands in front of his chest and inject his source power into both arms before he was slapped away by the shock wave. His head buzzed, his eyes lost focus, and when he came back to his senses, he had already crashed into the invisible wall of the battlespace and was bounced back to the ground by the recoil.
His inner organs were damaged, blood was seeping out of his chest, and his arms were trembling.
A blow from a thousand meters away left him seriously injured!
The head of Chi spurted another mouthful of blood and looked at the man holding the double sledgehammer in the distance, full of horror.
……
“After this round is over, there should be two more rounds, ah, so slow.”
Ma Jiaze was in the intermediate division, from the first round to now, every stage was crushing victory, making him feel insipid.
In Tree Shade, among the peak ninth awakened, he was one of the strongest of all. However, he seemed not to be able to break through to the tenth level for quite a while.
Tang Yu remembered that, together with his boss, they were called the Hammer Brothers, but now his boss has broken through the bottleneck, and Ma Jiaze became the one who was left behind.
“However, if I can get the access quota to the Holy Land and obtain the highest level of feed, I should be able to use it to breakthrough.”
Thinking like this, Ma Jiaze saw the man in the distance, who still had no intention of admitting defeat, and the sledgehammer in his right hand was raised high again.
“Wait, wait, I have one thing I have to ask.”
He heard the man shouting.
“What is it?” Ma Jiaze’s sledgehammer stopped in mid-air, ready to smash down.
“You, who the hell are you people?!”
Ma Jiaze straightened his battle suit, “Since you sincerely asked a question, I’ll… hey, here’s a brochure, I’ll give it to you.”
Ma Jia Ze pulled out a small pamphlet from his coat pocket, just the size of a palm, one centimeter thick, he weighed it, the pamphlet spun and flew out like a dart, flew over a distance of two to three thousand meters, and landed in front of the head of Chi.
He reached out, picked up the pamphlet, saw a line of the font on it: “Tree Shade Shelter establishment commemorative brochure.”
It also smelled like the smell of oil that had only been printed a short time ago.
“???”
A little confused, he looked up to the opposite side.
“In short, we, Tree Shade, are a shelter with hundreds of thousands of hunters, a chain of stores in dozens of large shelters, a martial arts school, and has a base of its own in several parts of the Daxia Kingdom…… Well, that’s pretty much it.”
???!
The head of Chi smothered a mouthful of old blood, silently recited the admission of defeat, and returned to his own territory.
……
The battle in the intermediate division, on the whole, had few twists and turns.
This time, among the Hunters who participated, there was much big power and high-level hunter under the name of Tree Shade that gradually spread – but that didn’t surprise the Luoxia, Northern Court, and the Yangtze Delta region anymore because they also had their own masters who could fight evenly with Tree Shade, or so they thought.
Other regions were not without masters. Some hunters have extremely strong abilities, and some even get their power from the Sacred Realm’s inheritance.
Each region has top-tier powerhouses that far exceed their peers.
The number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and the Tree Shade hunters inevitably bumped into each other.
“Purple Mountain leader, so it’s you.”
“Silver Wolf Vice Regiment, it’s you.”
“In the spirit space, we have fought against each other, although I won all three games against you, but only a close victory. I don’t want to fight with you because that might cause us to injure each other, so how about you let me win and, we purple mountain can unconditionally assist you in completing a commission on any other day.”
The Silver Wolf Vice Regiment paused and replied with “Yes.”
And with that, the figure disappeared.
This scene, which fell in the eyes of some hunter watching the battle, made them stomp their feet straight.
‘This damn fight was staged!’
‘Hey referee, there was someone playing a fake match here!’
However, this was not against the rule. After all, the ability to persuade others was also a kind of strength. Tang Yu shrugged his shoulders, and the result was as he expected, basically no difference.
Tree Shade official hunter, plus mercenaries, the number of finalists under the name of Tree Shade exceeded three hundred.
Chen Haiping, Chen Xiaojia, and others, not surprisingly managed to get the access spots …… On the contrary, her cousin was a bit sullen, and she felt that her strength had not been shown at all.
The golden beam fell, and the light one after another enshrouded the hunter who achieved victory.
Not all of the finalists had broken through to the 10th level of Awakening – some of them had not even reached the peak of the 9th level, but they had high combat power and managed to defeat several peak 9th level experts to make it to the final round.
The intermediate-level tournament was over.
Tang Yu’s mind floated the countdown to the advanced level tournament.
The hot blood had boiled, and the source power spurted to form qi flames clinging to the surface of his body.
After so many hours of cultivation, Tang Yu also wanted to know his true strength, how strong he really is.
“I can’t wait. Bring it on!”
