My Apocalypse Territory
Chapter 500 - 455: Wow, finally my turn! (Big Chapter)_2

So there he was, duking it out with an Eighth Layer Awakener for quite a while, even sustaining an injury.

He saw his Combat Uniform torn open, with a deep gash in his left arm that revealed bone.

Commander Chi was quickly teleported back to the ground, where the Healing Series Ability Users in his Army rushed over to help him recover from his injury.

At that moment, the leader of the neighboring forces walked over.

"It'll likely take another two or three rounds before we can advance. Old Chi, are you confident?"

"Ah, I once escaped the jaws of a Tenth Layer Demonized Beast and had confidence in my own strength, but I didn't expect that I always felt like I was the one being out-leveled."

"What on earth? Who did you encounter?" the neighbor's leader asked, puzzled.

By now, next to the pillar of light, only the most powerful leaders of the six major forces remained uneliminated, with several having used their resurrection rights... As the competition progressed, the opponents grew stronger, and he felt an indescribable pressure.

Daxia Country, indeed, where talented people emerge in never-ending streams.

But why did Commander Chi look as though he had taken a hit?

"You don't know, but in the round before last, I faced a Ninth Layer Awakener and took care of the opponent in just two and a half minutes. In the last round, I encountered an early Eighth Layer challenger. I thought my luck had turned, but after nearly nine minutes of struggle, I finally found a weakness and injured the opponent, forcing him to concede. Despite that, I got hurt too. If that person had been stronger, say at the Peak of Eighth Layer, I... I'm not even sure if I could have won."

"How could that be!"

The neighbor's leader couldn't believe it.

Commander Chi said bitterly, "That person, he was wearing a Combat Uniform with a great tree pattern on it."

Instantly, he felt a jolt in his body.

"Are the members of that force really... that terrifyingly strong?"

The neighboring leader had not encountered such Awakeners; he had heard some of his subordinates were eliminated by someone wearing a giant tree Combat Uniform but did not know the details. Hearing it from Commander Chi, who was at the same level, made him realize the gap.

He was also the kind of man who could be out-leveled!

"Now, I just hope I don't encounter an Awakener from that force in the next match. Losing to a Ninth Layer Peak is more bearable than being out-leveled."

...

After a brief rest, Commander Chi was once again teleported into the Battle Space.

"The aura of a Ninth Layer Peak, it looks like this should be a fair fight—"

His eyes suddenly widened.

Across from him.

The man standing a kilometer away was wielding two ferocious hammers. There were three markings on the shoulder of his clothing, and the pattern on the front of his Combat Uniform was all too familiar to him.

How has he run into those again!

"Wait, and his badge, also a giant tree. Could it be..."

Previously, Commander Chi and his Army, including a few neighboring forces, had encountered people with varying badges on their chests: animal totems, knives, swords, harpoons, and some with no badges at all.

But now, for the first time, he saw a badge that was very similar to the Combat Uniform's pattern.

Could it be the core Army of that force?

What force could it be? Beiting???

Before he could think further, the man across from him raised his hammers high and slammed them down onto the ground. The whole space seemed to quake as a visibly shocking wave, like a tidal surge, came at him layer by layer.

The formidable power made Commander Chi's pupils contract sharply.

He barely had time to hold his swords across his chest and infuse his arms with Source Power, when the shockwave struck, sending him flying. His head buzzed, his eyes lost focus, and when he regained his senses, he had already crashed into the invisible wall of the Battle Space and bounced back to the ground. Blood spurted from his mouth.

His internal organs were displaced, blood seeped into his chest cavity, and his arms trembled non-stop.

A single strike from a kilometer away had left him severely injured!

Commander Chi spat out another mouthful of blood and looked toward the man with the hammers in the distance, eyes filled with shock.

...

"After this round, there should be two more. Ah, so slow."

Ma Jiazze was in the Intermediate section. From the first round to the present, each match was a complete domination, which he found utterly uninteresting.

In Green Shadow, he was confident he ranked well among the Ninth Layer Peak Awakeners. If it weren't for the chance at fortune, he would have no interest in participating in such battles—those in the Advanced section might be more suitable. But having been stuck at the Ninth Layer Peak for a while now, he still hadn't found a breakthrough.

Once, he and his brother were known as the Iron Hammer Brothers, but now his elder brother had broken through the bottleneck, leaving him the outcast.

"However, if I can get the entry slot and receive the highest-level rewards, I should be able to break through with that."

Thinking thus, Ma Jiazze saw that the person in the distance had no intention of conceding defeat, so he raised his right hammer high again.

"Wait, wait a minute, there's something I don't understand."

He heard the man shouting.

"What is it?" Ma Jiazze's Iron Hammer hovered in mid-air, ready to smash down at any moment.

"Who, who exactly are you?!"

Ma Jiazze straightened out his combat uniform,

"Since you asked so earnestly, I will... ah, here's a propaganda pamphlet, it's for you." Ma Jiazze pulled out a small booklet from his pocket, about the size of a palm, one centimeter thick. He weighed it in his hand, and the booklet spun out like a dart, covering a distance of two to three thousand meters, and landed in front of Commander Chi.

That level of control...

Commander Chi's pupils shrank once more, feeling his eyes were getting a bit tired.

He reached out, picked up the booklet, and saw the line on it: "Green Shadow Sanctuary's Five-Month Anniversary Commemorative Pamphlet."

It still smelled freshly printed, too.

"???"

Somewhat stupefied.

Looking up at the other side.

"Anyway, we at Green Shadow, have hundreds of thousands of Awakeners, chain stores and martial arts halls set up in dozens of large sanctuaries, and sanctuaries with our own bases in several locations in Daxia Country... yeah, that's pretty much it."

Just that???!

Commander Chi held back his frustration, silently conceded defeat, and returned to his own territory.

...

The battles in the intermediate division were, on the whole, fairly straightforward.

However, because this time, many high-ranking figures from large forces participated, Green Shadow's name gradually spread—though for Awakeners in areas like Luoxia, Beiting, and the Yangtze River Delta, it was nothing new.

Strengthening with Consuming Crystals was basic operation for them.

They were just at a disadvantage because Green Shadow had moved into their area late. Otherwise, hmph!

Other regions also had experts, some Awakeners with extremely powerful abilities, some received legacies and equipment from secret realms, and institutions like the official Beiting also had their own systematic training methods.

There were even Awakeners from the Fourth Epoch—though they were considered weak amongst their peers, they had been exposed to cultivation for longer and had complete legacies, making them also quite formidable.

Every region had top-tier powerhouses far beyond the same level, but Green Shadow had more, wholesale, like giving them away for free.

As the number dwindled, Awakeners from Green Shadow inevitably encountered "their own."

"Commander Purple Mountain, it turns out to be you."

"Silver Wolf Deputy Commander, it's you."

"We fought in the Spirit Space, and although I won all three rounds against you, they were close victories. I don't want to fight you now, to avoid benefiting others. How about giving me the spot? We at Purple Mountain can help you fulfill a commission unconditionally."

Silver Wolf Deputy Commander paused, "Alright." Then, the figure disappeared.

These scenes, witnessed by some spectating Awakeners, made them stamp their feet in annoyance.

This is seriously, not giving them a chance to live!

Referee, there's a fake match going on here!

However, this was not against the rules, after all, connections were also a form of strength.

Tang Yu shrugged his shoulders; the outcome was pretty much as he had anticipated.

Green Shadow's official Awakeners, plus the unofficial adventurers, the number of qualifiers exceeded three hundred.

Chen Haiping, Chen Xiaojia, and the others, as expected, obtained their qualification slots... but his younger cousin was somewhat downcast, feeling that her true strength hadn't been showcased at all, and the martial combat ended—why not continue to decide the first place?

Golden beams of reward descended, and one after another, the Awakeners' auras soared.

Not all the qualifiers broke through to the tenth layer of Awakening—some hadn't reached the ninth layer peak, they were just highly combat-capable, defeating several ninth layer peak masters, and had successfully qualified.

The intermediate division concluded.

A countdown for the advanced division emerged in Tang Yu's mind.

His blood was already boiling, Source Power gushing out and enshrouding his body.

After training for this period, Tang Yu also wanted to know, without the aid of Consuming Crystals, just how strong his true power was.

I, can hardly wait!
