Chapter 957

More than a year passed by quickly in the advanced dimension.

In the Human Community's conference hall, Baroklov looked at the others around the conference table.

"There are only three months left until the Genius Screening Competition. Have the participants in your respective zones been selected?"

"The top five have been selected after the actual combat screening of the twenty zones. We have reviewed the combat videos one by one, and they are all good, "a bald middle-aged man sitting on Baroklov's right replied. "I have sent you the list yesterday, Lord Council Speaker."

"The top four from each zone will be decided first. The remaining twenty will take turns to fight. A win will get you one point, a draw will get you zero points, and a loss will deduct one point. Then, you will be ranked according to your points. The top six will be placed on the list. "Baroklov looked at the bald man beside him.

"Lord Council Speaker, do you mean we need to reserve fourteen spots?" The bald man understood what Baroklov meant.

"That's right." Baroklov nodded.

"We can reserve the spots, but can you tell us the reason? After all, there are only a hundred spots for the Human Race. It is not a small matter to take away fourteen spots. The managers of each zone would definitely not want to have one less participant in their zone, "the bald man said to Baroklov.

"The fourteen spots I reserved are reserved for the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Do you have any other questions, Deputy Chief Jason? "Baroklov told him the reason for reserving the spots.

"We have done some research on the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. As far as I know, they only have twelve crew members, and two of them are pet beasts. Does Lord Council Speaker consider their pet beasts as participants in the Screening Competition? "Bald Jason's tone was questioning.

"Jason, you seem to be questioning my decision." Baroklov frowned slightly and looked at Jason.

Seeing Baroklov's gaze, Jason's expression froze slightly and he shook his head. "I didn't mean that, Lord Council Speaker. I just have some doubts."

However, at that moment, a councilor stood up. "Lord Council Speaker, I think your behavior is a little inappropriate. We have not seen the combat effectiveness of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew with our own eyes. Besides, even if Gu Ding's combat prowess is amazing as the captain, it doesn't mean that the pirates under him are all that powerful. "

"I've seen Gu Ding's combat effectiveness with my own eyes," Crowley spoke at that moment, but he did not say anything else after that.

"I've seen all the members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Although I've never seen them fight, it's not difficult to judge their combat effectiveness based on the strength of their auras. I don't think my senses would be wrong. "Baroklov still believed in his own judgment.

"Even if they are qualified, the other races will only laugh at us for not having enough people if we send two battle pets, right?" Another person raised an objection.

"When the foreign races were slapped in the face by the two pets, they naturally couldn't laugh anymore. Our pets are even more powerful than their so-called monsters. Isn't that more of a blow to them? "Baroklov retorted.

"This …"

"Alright, there's no need to say anymore. Reserve 14 spots for me for now. I'll ask Gu Ding and the others if they want to participate in the competition. If they don't, I'll give you two more spots. That's settled. Today's meeting is over! "Baroklov did not wait for the others to say anything else and waved his hand. "Elder Cabinet, please stay. Everyone else is dismissed."

In the meeting room, the councilors left one after another. Only Baroklov and Crowley remained.

Seeing that everyone had left, Baroklov asked, "Did Gu Ding and the others have any breakthroughs on your side?"

"Those young friends are indeed geniuses." Crowley could not help but raise the corner of his eye at the mention of Gu Ding.

"While Gu Ding and Biggie were in closed-door training, they managed to break through to a hundred and twenty Primordial Rule Tattoos. That kid called Neptune had two breakthroughs in a row and managed to comprehend a hundred and eight Primordial Rule Tattoos. He's still in the process of increasing his Primordial Rule Tattoos, and the three of them have officially stepped into the level of Holy Disciples. On the other hand, our young friend Phaser has also increased his Rule Sigils to ninety, but he cultivates the sharpest swordsmanship. I'm afraid his combat effectiveness is far beyond that of an average three-star Shura. "

"What about your side? How are the young friends who entered the foreign territory? I don't think any of them died, right? "Crowley asked Baroklov.

"They all left their Life Fires behind. Their Life Fires flickered two or three times, but none of them were extinguished. He must have encountered a few crises, but he managed to get through them safely. This kind of life and death situation is the best way to stimulate a person's potential. I think their combat effectiveness should have improved after more than a year, "Baroklov smiled and nodded.

"Our young friend Gu Ding and the others should come out of closed-door training in a few days. Neptune will need at most three or four days to increase his Rule Sigils to one hundred and twenty. The other three have been waiting for a long time." Crowley seemed to be in a good mood. "Our Humans are destined to be in the limelight in this Monster Screening Competition!"

"Yes, two Holy Disciple powerhouses can not only sweep away the powerhouses of the various races in this plane, but they can also sweep away the other high-level planes. The Main Plane will surely have a huge amount of resources for our plane this time. "When Baroklov thought of this, the unhappiness that Jason and the others had brought him earlier was swept away.

…

Three days later, Neptune's Rule Sigils finally reached one hundred and twenty. Gu Ding and the others finally came out of closed-door training. After saying goodbye to Crowley's will projection, they rushed all the way back to the Humans' outpost.

On the other hand, in the Exotic Secret Realm, Lilliath and the others had already passed through the outermost area of the Secret Realm and reached the second layer.

In this second layer, there were mutant demons with middle lord-level combat effectiveness everywhere.

Lilliath and the others worked together to kill them and then devour the Rule Origins of these mutant demons. Along the way, they all had breakthroughs in their combat effectiveness.

Tagore, in particular, had gone deep into the Secret Realm alone to hunt. His combat effectiveness was unfathomable. This time, Lilliath and the others encountered a middle lord-level demon. Its strength was even stronger than a Holy Disciple powerhouse. It was obviously not at the level of a new middle lord-level. When Tagore received a call for help, he tore the demon in half with one claw. Lilliath and the others were surprised to see this.

After more than a year of life and death killings, Lilliath and the others had not only broken through the original number of Rule Sigils, but they had also gained a lot of combat experience. After all, almost every enemy in this Secret Realm could be fatal. This was different from all the Secret Realms they had gone through before.

"There are less than three months left until the Genius Screening Competition. Our combat effectiveness has risen to another level compared to more than a year ago. It's time to leave … "Lilliath gathered everyone together and finally brought up the idea of leaving the Secret Realm.

Erza and the others also agreed because it was unlikely for them to continue to have breakthroughs in combat effectiveness in a short period of time. There was not much point in staying in this Secret Realm.

"You guys go back. I'm going to stay in this Secret Realm for a while. Come find me when the Screening Competition is over. "This time, Tagore took the initiative to stay.

"Then I'll stay too." Buru also appeared beside Tagore.
