Chapter 1238 - Chapter 1238 Chapter 1238 Trend

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Trend Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Trend At that moment, a connected column of light appeared in the sky. Li Yao suddenly looked up and said to himself, “Still seventeen left, mostly gathered together, that’s interesting. There’s actually a very good cover? Now that’s really interesting.”

Li Yao climbed up a tall tree again and there he stood silently at the top.

Time slowly passed, and Li Yao had reached the treetop of another tall tree, not far from the gathering place. No one dared to truly show themselves.

“That despicable person, to actually use such a method!” a Dark Elf with a sullen expression scoffed.

An Orc also sneered, “If it were a face-to-face confrontation, I could take him down in one go. Dammit, he only knows how to shoot from hiding.”

A fox race Spellcaster disdainfully said, “I am here to discuss with you how to handle him, not to listen to you complain. If you could master the Infinite Range Arrow, that would be your skill. It’s ridiculous that you, being a hunter, are calling for him to engage in close combat with you. If you, dullard, took up a Magic Wand and competed in spells with me, I’d let you cast three spells first.”

The Orc shook all over with anger, but upon seeing the fox race Spellcaster, he lost his courage, just having been tormented by this Spellcaster to the point of death and life. Now he simply lacked the courage to retort.

“Alright, we are here to discuss how to deal with this tough guy, not to argue. Otherwise, if we fight among ourselves, the ultimate beneficiary will definitely be that Earthling,” a Dwarf said discontentedly.

“This guy is indeed tough. The problem now is how to get close to him. His archery is too tricky. Even with cover, it spells death.”

Everyone fell silent; they had all witnessed Li Yao’s terrifying archery skills first-hand–not a single miss at incredible distances, and playing with ricochets with such precision really chilled their hearts. The spectators knew that Li Yao had shown mercy and did not kill, but they were oblivious to this fact.

All those who gave up were critically injured.

“Everyone has their own life-saving skills, but we are just too far from him. Using them wouldn’t work.” The fox race Spellcaster held out his hand, “I do have a way. Approach him through that river. I have a pill here that allows one to breathe underwater for half an hour. As long as we get close enough, and work together, killing him might be difficult, but at least we could eliminate him.”

The Earthlings watching were indignant, feeling it was too much. There was supposed to be only one survivor, and everyone was a competitor. Yet, these people blatantly united to plot against one, which was simply outrageous. The Earthlings were hopping mad, while the Aliens, though feeling that it wasn’t quite right, thought that ganging up on Li Yao wasn’t really improper because he was too strong.

Even out of the competition, humanity was too dominant; they had to teach humanity a lesson and deter them.

“These beasts, how outrageous,” a young officer exclaimed with indignation.

Other delegates were also indignant, while the middle-aged official simply smiled slightly, “The rules of the game are such. They haven’t violated them, but using this method to express resistance against humanity is indeed ludicrous.”

General’s eyes flashed a cold light, “Just like ten years ago, go for an unrestricted airstrike. No matter how strong they are, what’s the use? They have a considerable number of flying creatures, powerful, but we have as many unmanned combat aircraft as necessary, and in the end, they still had to bow down. Now when everyone negotiates, their interstellar journeys entirely depend on us. They still want to resist? It’s ridiculous.”

“Superior beings always have their own pursuits. We’re no different, right? Regardless of the outcome of this game, the New Mech project can no longer be stopped, nor does anyone want to stop it anymore,” the middle-aged official said.

“Seeing the power of the New Mech, I guess all the generals have gone mad. These days, the research institute has really become a sought-after place, and this Li Yao, many military districts must be vying for him. Maybe they are already fighting over him now.” The General’s eyes shone as he looked at Li Yao on the screen, “A Hunter Mech can be so powerful; if such mech designs as Warrior, Magician, or others matured, that would truly be an invincible army. Even I am tempted, wanting to transfer this Prairie Fire to my Legion.”

“I’m afraid you don’t have the capacity for that. Mr. Shen has always been the one supporting that, and now with the new mechs coming into play, his position will be unshakable; all crises will dissipate. It’s not just you; I fear no one will be able to change that.” The middle-aged man smiled knowingly, “Your temple is too small to accommodate a rising star like Li Yao. If he’s lucky enough to get through this and wins in the following competitions, as can be foreseen, various Legions will pull out their elite troops to train new mech squads, and the best instructor would be whom?”

General suddenly realized: “You’re right. I’m just a Brigadier General, and before long, he might be of the same rank as me.”

“If he really has such capability, what’s a Brigadier General anyway. The transition from old mechs to new mechs is irreversible now, and batches of officers trained by him will spread across the Legions. Just think about it. This man’s future is already foreseeable,” the middle-aged man chuckled as he glanced at the upright eared Mech War God who was eavesdropping on their conversation.

“I’ve decided; I’m giving up the title of Azure Dragon. I want to train in the new mechs,” Azure Dragon lifted his head and said.

“You’ve decided? You know with New Mech, you will have to start from scratch,” the General said in surprise.

“Rather than waiting to be eliminated, better to actively embrace the new. Like the unstoppable trend of mechs back then, the new mechs are the same now. I request to be transferred to the new mech squad; I guess this new mech squad will also need adjustments, right?” Azure Dragon looked at the middle-aged official.

Scorpio also said, “Count me in. I’m only twenty years old; if a twenty-five-year-old can do it, why can’t I?”

Their subordinates looked saddened–the old mechs they had trained so hard with were really going to be eliminated?

“This is your decision, I won’t interfere. But mind you, I wouldn’t admit to any of this once we leave this room,” the middle-aged man laughed again before he focused back on the large screen.

Just as the Aliens were prepared and about to rush Li Yao through the river, a voice suddenly came from not far from them.

“You are really troublesome, just wanting to eliminate me, huh? Did you really need to discuss it for so long? I’ve been watching you discuss for half an hour; truly boring.”

Everyone suddenly saw Li Yao sitting on a rock close by, leisurely watching them.

Their expressions dramatically changed, and they looked back at the far-distant treetop–Li Yao was still standing on the tree. Everyone was utterly baffled…
