Chapter 1113: Chapter 764: The Ancestor’s Favoritism

As the Hundred Generals Trial Sword approached, the discussions in the [forum] became more and more intense.

Some players even opened betting, believing that certain players would ascend to be one of the Hundred Generals. They made speculative rankings.

Among them were Li Changhe and Yang Dong. After all, General Li Ba and Great Wall Yang Dong were players who had recently gained a lot of attention.

Both were ranked on the list, and perhaps because of their status as official players, Brother Dong was ranked in the top twenty.

Meanwhile, General Li Ba was ranked in the top thirty. The other side also made a well-reasoned analysis.

And they listed several players who were theoretically stronger than General Li Ba.

Li Changhe himself didn’t care, their discussions wouldn’t affect him even in the slightest. But some people couldn’t hold back and started cursing at those debating.

Li Changhe glanced over and noticed that one of them was that Ghost Face player from the disaster fog.

That’s right, although they hadn’t become friends, as comrades who had faced the Terror Devil together in the disaster fog, many players strongly supported General Li Ba.

Of course, there were also those who were unhappy with General Li Ba. Li Changhe didn’t care.

Mostly, these were players who didn’t qualify for the Hundred Generals amusing themselves.

In reality, players who were actually going to participate in the Hundred Generals were actively preparing for battle.

Moon God said he had already found the old ancestor and was currently honing his skills under the hands of those official Extraordinary Soldiers.

His goal was to enter the top thirty, which was by no means an easy task. He had to do his utmost to improve himself.

As for Li Changhe, he was basically at the training base, honing his tactics.

During this period, the combat teams that came to the base for training were honing their tactics while helping Li Changhe accumulate Dawn Prayers.

This also allowed those newbie players to rapidly improve their battle awareness.

For example, Old Zhao’s group, uttering phrases like "don’t be greedy for kills," "attract aggro," and "dodge out of the fist range," entered the combat room and fought heatedly against the armored warriors inside.

Their combat awareness visibly grew. Of course, some couldn’t avoid getting a thorough beating.

After all, the armored warriors’ defense force was astounding. Most players below LV10 were unable to break through, and the only thing they could do in the fight was to preserve themselves while trying to deal as much damage as possible. With a numerical advantage, they would defeat the armored warriors.

Among the new players, Old Zhao’s group was doing quite well. After being declared wiped out three times, they finally succeeded in defeating an Undying Rider. After that, they watched the Undying Rider Warrior pull out a Chainsaw Axe. Although it wasn’t activated, one could foresee they were about to enter a new round of suffering.

Seeing the colleagues reaping significant rewards, the base manager hesitated over whether to invite General Li Ba to come more often in the future.

And they pondered that if General Li Ba became a regular at the training base, the newbies at the Yanyun branch would quickly be able to stand on their own.

Li Changhe didn’t have any objections to this idea. He was there primarily to accumulate Dawn Prayers anyway. It would be a win-win. He could come over anytime, as long as Brother Dong wasn’t there.

These past few days, Li Changhe had already accumulated quite a bit. Although it was nowhere near the amount accumulated during the Xuan City task, it was still enough to give his enemies a rough time.

...

One day before the Hundred Generals Trial Sword, Li Changhe was wolfing down food in the training base’s cafeteria when the sheepskin paper was returned to him.

Having just completed his training, Xiao Nan sat beside Li Changhe, passing him pieces of meat while taking out the sheepskin paper.

It seemed the officials had already stored a powerful skill inside it. Even without taking it yet, Li Changhe could feel a sense of oppression.

"Uncle’s strength? Shouldn’t he be guarding the Black Great Wall?" Li Changhe inquired as he took the sheepskin paper from Xiao Nan’s hands.

There are very few demigods among humans, and they usually cannot leave their positions.

It is the same with Chen Tianjiao nowadays; as a demigod, he stands guard over the Black Great Wall in the void. He should not be able to spare the energy to store divinity on sheepskin paper, as this would consume a lot of strength. If the beings outside the wall managed to break through because of this, it would be bad.

Then, Li Changhe saw the design on the sheepskin paper, a blurred figure with six arms.

"Is this..." Li Changhe’s heart stirred: "The ancestor?"

"Yes, all the demigods are unable to divert their attention. Luckily, upon knowing it was for you, the ancestor agreed to put aside some strength." Xiao Nan chuckled lightly: "The ancestor really does play favorites. The division head initially asked the ancestor to leave a divine projection in the division. After much pleading—and I heard that the whole division fed pandas for half a month—the ancestor barely agreed. And you... the ancestor volunteered for you. That division head is said to be green with envy now."

"Heh, as expected of the ancestor, he truly understands my wisdom and beauty." Li Changhe grinned: "This is all too courteous."

"Mhm, the ancestor really has good insight." Xiao Nan’s eyes curved in delight as she gazed at Li Changhe with joy.

Li Changhe had not expected the ancestor to be willing to seal a skill, the strength of a Primordial Demon God...

"However, the ancestor also conveyed a message, his strength is very powerful. Once released, the sheepskin paper will be completely destroyed," Xiao Nan said: "Moreover, he mentioned he’s afraid you’ll misuse it, so he made a few modifications to the sheepskin paper. It will only activate autonomously under certain conditions."

"Can’t use it normally?" Li Changhe pondered: "And after one use, the sheepskin paper will be scrapped. That is a bit of a pity."

Not being able to use it at will... this was actually a problem. For instance, the prior Shattered Star—if Li Changhe wanted to use the sheepskin paper to shatter stars now, he might just have to stand in front of a falling meteor, waiting for it to activate itself.

This seems like a flaw. And after one use, it will be scrapped... permanently losing the sheepskin paper.

"Actually, the ancestor is worried about you getting intercepted by Evil Gods," Chen Yu said as he sat down with his own meal tray: "Although no one outside, not even within our official ranks, knows you can enter the Mythical State, the ancestor feels you are a thorn in the eyes of the Evil Gods. He’s afraid you’ll be intercepted as soon as you step out, so he left this insurance. The sheepskin paper will only activate when the Evil God Avatar is released, or when the Evil God itself enters the fray. So... even if you are beaten to your last breath, it won’t trigger. From this perspective, you have one less trump card."

"Yeah, I understand. From the ancestor’s point of view, we are his juniors. Whether the juniors are mobbed or ambushed, losing in a fight, or getting killed, it is considered my lack of skill. But if the opponent’s elder intervenes, then the ancestor won’t just stand by," Li Changhe nodded: "This does fit the ancestor’s disposition."

The ancestor does not permit higher-level powers to interfere with Hua Country’s humans.

As for conflicts and battles below that level, he generally does not care. It seems somewhat cold and heartless, but his aim is likely not to intervene in the self-development of humans.

Li Changhe just hopes that the Chaos Believers he meets later won’t be too foolish.

To release some Evil God Avatar upon first meeting.

Then, Li Changhe would have nothing to worry about...
