Chapter 58: A Commander Appears


    Trantor: Strivon / Ash Editor: Geoffrey / Lancent


    At the moment, the Distant Expanse was bustling with unusual noise.


    There were cultivators in the monitoring center and 2400 defeatedpetitors in the hall outside.


    These youths were only upset for a short while before they fixed their attention raptly onto the giant hologram, waiting for the finals to begin.


    After all, they would receive benefits to their future cultivation when witnessing numerous experts radiate like burning stars during exchanges of blows.


    Three hours passed quickly under the gaze of therge crowd. The Limit Challenge Competition… Officially began!


    “BOW! BOWOWOWOWOW!!”


    The restriction arrays that covered Devil Flood Dragon Ind were released. The Demon Beasts who had been restricted for three hours impatiently jumped forth. They used the craziest of snarls to vent the rageing from the depths of their hearts.


    “ROAR! ROAR ROAR!”


    Responses came from underground, shouts mixed with tyrannical strength like muffled thunder.


    Upon hearing the howls, the just-before majestic Demon Beasts began to reveal expressions of utter fear on their faces as their necks shrank.


    At several hundred hidden points all around Devil Flood Dragon Ind, countless transmission arrays began to sh.


    Under the flickering radiance, powerful Demon Beasts withrger bodies, fiercer appearances, crueler expressions, and more violent auras were set free!


    They stuck their heads out, observing their surroundings. Their noses shook as they took in the fresh meat scent in the air, the smell that soon caused them to go wild. They shook their heads and wagged their tails, bore their fangs and brandished their ws, and threw themselves into the depths of the forest!


    And in front of each of the 600petitors, their respective Puji Critters listed the 600 names of those who entered the finals.


    The 600 people were divided into teams — Red and Blue. A blue or red glow also curled around the Puji Critters to show the teams.


    At the same time, themunication channel of thepetitors promptly changed. From this moment on, they can only send messages to their own team.


    Li Yao skimmed through the 600 names at lightning speed and discovered that he was on the Red Team.


    And that Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue were divided into the Blue Team. Surprisingly, the fellow Zheng Dongming had be his teammate.


    “Helian Lie. Per your own words, Devil Flood Dragon Ind is quiterge and is quite small at the same time. I hope we won’t encounter each other!”


    Li Yao did final a inspection on his artifacts andughed with utter confidence.


    He was equipped with two short Progressive Daggers. They were smeared with sludge to form a ckness that won’t reflect light. They were like the fangs of a demon.


    After sticking the daggers on his waist belt, he examined the myriad of improvised artifacts in his military pack. With a light leap, Li Yao entered the forest and faded away amongst the branches.


    The intensity of the finals was a hundred times greater than that of the preliminaries!


    Besides the several hundred powerful new Demon Beasts lurking in the forest, quite a fewpetitors were resting in groups together before they were suddenly split into two teams. The Puji Critters turned either red or blue.


    Under each other''s’ gazes, the opposing team members turned into “giant sacks of exp” filled with great amounts of points!


    The justughing cheerful students engaged in bloody close handed ughter in a sh!


    In a short 5 minutes, 37petitors were ejected from thepetition, and their points were robbed by thepetitors who “in” them.


    In the ranking board shown in the monitoring center, the top 100 names seemed to be changing every second!


    “Everyone, don’t panic. We should organize ourselves and fight like the Federal Army! My name is Gao Ye and Ie from a family of military. I’ve followed my father and uncles since young, learning themander tactics of special forces. I possess extremely powerfulputation andmanding abilities. Everyone, listen to mymands. Group onto my position! If you’re far away from me, group with the teammates by your side. Assemble into small battle squads!”


    A sound suddenly rang out from the Blue Team’smunication channel.


    The voice was somewhat hoarse but contained great confidence and powerful inspiration within. It caused people to automatically believe in those words.


    Quite a few of the members of the Blue Team slightly hesitated, then subconsciously moved closer to Gao Ye’s coordinates.


    “Themander for the Blue Team has appeared!” All the cultivators were in high spirits in the monitoring center.


    600 students were divided into two teams in the finals. Apetitor’s individualbat ability was actually not the most crucial thing. The most crucial thing was for everyone to assemble together in the shortest time frame, form into battle squads, and fight against Demon Beasts and the enemy team.


    It can be said that in this battle, whichever team has an expertmanding admin-type talent first appear will seize the initiative. They would very likely seize the final victory!


    In the previouspetitions, often it took at least several hours, or even a day, of strife and a bitter price to pay before a “Commander” was born.


    It was very unexpected for such a giftedmander talent to appear in thispetition. The chaos of the Blue Team had been dissolved in a mere five minutes.


    In the Blue Team’sm channel, Gao Ye issuedmands aftermands, coolly and calmly, giving no chance for anybody to refute hismands.


    Although there were people who questioned his strategic decisions, Gao Ye would justify himself and refute them within several seconds. They opposition were left dumbstruck and everyone epted Gao Ye’smands willingly.


    Under hismand, the remaining 280+petitors on the Blue Team gradually grouped together, forming a standard-like battle formation.


    A dozen or sopetitors even formed a hunting squad, killing a powerful Demon Beast that had just walked through the transmission array!


    On the other hand, the Red Team was in a bad situation. They did not have an organizing admin-type genius among their 300petitors. Voices were moring in theirmunication channel. If you’re noisy, I’ll be noisier. Voices were talking over one another. It was like the special bargain sale time at the supermarket.


    “My Actualization Quotient is at 75%. Let me be themander for the Red Team. Everyone, convene onto me! Convene onto me!”


    “Who gives a fuck if your Actualization Quotient is at 75%. My Actualization Quotient is at 77%. I can kill two Demon Beasts with a single strike. But, I know myself. I don’t have the makings of amander. Kid, you should just stay where you belong!”


    “You... You’re this arrogant? What school are you from. Don’t you dare going back after thepetition!”


    “Everyone quiet! First, let’s quickly think of a way. I saw that the Blue Team has likely assembled themselves already. Our side ispletely suppressed. They have seven to eight people fighting our two or three. AHH!”


    “Not good. A powerful Demon Beasts appeared in my position. My coordinates are… Someonee and help!”


    “No go. We’ve been intercepted by the Blue Team here. These goddamn bastards. How is it that the Blue Team has people everywhere! Red team. Where the hell has Red Team gone!”


    Li Yao’s body was smeared all over with sludge. On top of the sludge was an entwinedyer of weeds, sticks, and vines. He concealed himself deep inside a shrub and waited calmly.


    Even Small Ji was smeared in the same fashion of camouge. He turned down the voice mode of them channel, skimming over the words in them channel with the weakest brightness.


    Looking and looking, Li Yao let out a sigh somewhat helplessly.


    He did not expect a genius levelmander to appear on the opposing team while his own team was a mess. The situation seemed to be a bit disadvantageous now.


    Li Yao knew himself. His skill was in crafting, notmanding the battlefield. And he didn’t have the ability to charismatically sway people with a few words. The ability to be revered and be saluted to. He did not have the makings of being amander.


    Even if he does enter a squad, he would beughed at and ridiculed by his teammates.


    “Maybe it’s about time to use my ace in the hole!” Li Yao fondled a hard and stiff object in his embrace.


    It was a simple artifact that he made at the first supply point… It was a remote control.
