Chapter 153 Captain Selection
Chapter 153 Captain Selection
The plan went smoothly according to Mu Changsheng's idea. The giant lizard monster was blocked by two fire talismans, and then encountered Mu Changsheng who was bullying him. Mu Changsheng solved it with just three or two punches.
Mu Changsheng dug out the demon pill and found that this giant lizard demon beast only had the cultivation level of the early golden elixir stage.
Afterwards, Mu Changsheng continued to hunt monsters, and encountered many monsters that self-destructed their golden elixirs, but they were all discovered early by the vigilant Mu Changsheng and escaped.
It is precisely because of this that Mu Changsheng did not collect many demon pills. Mu Changsheng was not anxious about this. He believed that other people would encounter the same situation as him. No one had many demon pills. Besides, the outcome of this competition was not determined by the number of demon pills.
……
Three hours later, when Mu Changsheng was about to kill a tiger demon in the late Jindan stage, his eyes suddenly blurred and the surrounding scenery changed instantly. After stabilizing, Mu Changsheng found himself in the courtyard before entering the cave.
"It seems that the time has come. Send us out of the cave directly." Mu Changsheng judged in his heart, and he also saw Feng Li and others, but Mu Changsheng found that the original fifteen people were missing Bai Kunyu.
Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and others saw Feng Ze with a bad look appear in front of everyone.
"Bai Kunyu is dead." Feng Ze's first sentence shocked everyone. Before the real Six Nations Trial began, a person had already died.
Feng Ze saw everyone's surprised expressions, but snorted coldly, revealing a little bit of his aura, which made everyone shaky. Then he revealed the cause of Bai Kunyu's death: "That kid thought he was very smart, but he was killed by the three monsters working together."
"The monsters have joined forces!" Mu Changsheng was shocked. He had also encountered several monsters joining forces. To be cautious, he chose to avoid them from a distance.
“It’s so difficult to kill a monster. What you will encounter in the trial will be geniuses of the same level who are ten times more cunning than the monsters. I hope Bai Kunyu’s death can serve as a warning to you.” Feng Ze said lightly, restraining the momentum and pressure he had just released.
In fact, with Feng Ze's strength, he could easily save Bai Kunyu, but he didn't do so, and there was no need to do so.
"Now, take out all the demon pills you have harvested." Feng Ze ordered.
After everyone had taken out their demon pills, Feng Ze used his spiritual sense to scan them and instantly got a count. Then, Feng Ze pointed his finger, and the points ranking of the thirteen people appeared in front of everyone:
First place: Mu Changsheng
Second place: Jiang Yuheng
Third place: Fengli
Fourth place: Shadow Eleven
Fifth place: Shen Qianliu
6th place: Xue Shaoyang
Seventh place: Shadow Twelve
8th place: Shadow Thirteen
9th place: Simon Lie
10th place: Nantian Xie
11th place: Blue Ocean
12th place: Shadow 14
13th place: Xu Laike
14th place: Nine Crows
Mu Changsheng was a little surprised but not too surprised to see that he was first. His combination of talismans and body refining methods was still very efficient. In comparison, Mu Changsheng was more curious about the names on the list.
"Shadow Eleven, Shadow Twelve, these names are too random. They should be the people secretly trained by the royal family." Mu Changsheng thought in his heart. After all, these people may become his comrades-in-arms.
Then, Feng Ze officially announced: "The final five people to be judged are: Mu Changsheng, Feng Li, Shen Qianliu, Ying Eleven, and Ying Twelve."
Jiang Yuheng's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he was ranked second in points but was not selected. However, this was the decision of the king and he didn't dare to refute it.
Mu Changsheng was not surprised by this. He and Jiang Yuheng were both talisman masters, and their methods overlapped, so it was enough to choose one.
Moreover, based on Mu Changsheng's understanding of Jiang Yuheng, Jiang Yuheng's methods are mostly talisman sea tactics. The scenes seem amazing, but the talismans will always be exhausted. Once the talismans are gone, Jiang Yuheng will be almost useless.
"As for the punishment for the last five people mentioned earlier, they will be waived. Chen Xun, you can take the other nine people away." Feng Ze said lightly.
The Chen Xun that Fengze mentioned was the golden-armored general who had been guarding the courtyard. The golden-armored general immediately led the nine eliminated people away.
The few people at the bottom of the rankings were relieved when they heard that the punishment was waived. After all, serving a hundred years of hard labor was too long for them.
Mu Changsheng noticed that the two people who stayed behind, Shadow Eleven and Shadow Twelve, happened to be a man and a woman. As for who was Shadow Eleven and Shadow Twelve, it was not known for the time being.
After the others left, only Mu Changsheng and four others and Feng Ze were left in the courtyard.
Feng Ze continued to announce: "The captain of the five of you is Mu Changsheng. The rest of you must obey the captain's orders unconditionally. I don't need to say more about the price of violating the rules."
Mu Changsheng was quite surprised to hear that he was the captain, because in his opinion, with Feng Li's identity and strength, he was very qualified to be the captain, and he had already made mental preparations in this regard.
Feng Li was also somewhat surprised by this result, but she naturally would not doubt the judgment and decision of her biological father Feng Ze.
Feng Ze looked at Mu Changsheng and said with praise in his eyes: "Although the captain's reward has been doubled, this is also a very challenging position. The lives of the five members of the team are in your hands."
Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and saluted, saying respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your highness's appreciation. I will do my best."
Mu Changsheng had no intention of refusing to be the captain. If someone else were the captain, it would be equivalent to handing his fate over to someone else. In comparison, Mu Changsheng naturally wanted to take his fate into his own hands.
Feng Ze nodded slightly and continued, "There is still a month before the real Six Nations Trial begins. In the next few days, you will stay in this courtyard and not go out. If you need anything, you can tell the guards outside the door. This is also to protect your safety and prevent you from being assassinated by other countries."
"You can enter and exit the Divine Wind Cave at will to hunt monsters. The way to enter is to input spiritual power into the big stone in the center of the courtyard. This month is also a time for the five of you to get used to each other. In addition, I will give each of you an additional 100,000 free mid-grade spiritual stones, which can be used to purchase various things at will. This can be regarded as an early reward for you."
"Yes, sir." Mu Changsheng and the other four bowed.
"Let's get used to each other." Feng Ze gave his final instructions and left the courtyard.
After Feng Ze left, the five of them finally relaxed. Mu Changsheng asked Ying Eleven and Ying Twelve: "I haven't asked you yet, which one of you is Ying Eleven and which one is Ying Twelve?"
"I'm Shadow Eleven." "I'm Shadow Twelve." The two said almost without any particular order.
Mu Changsheng also determined that the man was Shadow 11 and the woman was Shadow 12.
Then Mu Changsheng said: "If you two don't mind, I will call you Eleventh Brother and Twelfth Miss respectively."
"I don't mind." "I don't mind." They said it again without any order.
"Can you two tell us what skills you are good at?" Mu Changsheng asked again. He was already familiar with the skills of Feng Li and Shen Qianliu, but he had no idea about Ying Eleven and Ying Twelve.
This time, the two did not speak at the same time, but Ying Shiyi spoke first: "I am good at formations and can refine third-grade mid- and high-level formation plates. I also practice body refining. My body refining realm can rival ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators. I have also comprehended formation and fist intentions."
"Very good, we really need a formation master like you, Brother Eleven." Mu Changsheng praised generously. Formation masters, like talisman masters, depend more on talent and are rare in number. And formation masters who can refine formation plates are even fewer.
General formations need to be deployed immediately, but the formation plate can store the formation. Once the formation plate is activated, the formation can be formed instantly and can be retracted or released, which is extremely practical.
The array plate sounds similar to a talisman, but in fact it is more practical than a talisman. After all, once a talisman is cast out, it is difficult to take it back.
