Chapter 321: 8.48 First Blue Star - Secrets of the Central Region.

The chaos of the world announcement every partic.i.p.ant had received is pretty active. Ever since everyone had received the news of the existence of Guardian and Royal Cla.s.ses zergs appearing in the middle region most partic.i.p.ants decided to hunt in mechas. This is for their safety first. But only a few realized that this might be just indeed just a lucky strike from the team of Feng Jing and stayed hunting without their mechas in the Middle Region.

Somewhere in the Middle Region.

Lin Tian's team was currently resting around their bonfire within their chosen camp. They have picked a place within the forest which is near the riverside. Princess Halley and the other girls were busy cooking dinner while the others spent time playing cards. It was at this time that they received the same world announcement as everybody else.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to Team Leader Feng Jing and his teams for achieving 188,000 KP. They had acc.u.mulated the highest Kill Points within two days and achieved the Achievement of defeating a Guardian Cla.s.s and Royal Cla.s.s Zerg in the Middle Region.]

Lin Sen reacted,

"Wow~ more than 100K Kill Points. So the rumors about them attacking a Zerg's beehive was real."

"They are not bad. Half of their group members were Juniors,"

said Lin Bin.

Lin Quan said,

"Isn't Qu Yeon with them? This is to be expected after Qu Yeon isn't weak. At least he is stronger than most n.o.bles from our cla.s.s."

Leda Tine spoke,

"This group is indeed strong. Six sentinels, six guides, and four ordinary people. The last four members were not simple as well. One of them is the captain's younger brother, Lin Yven. He is an experienced scout with a.s.sa.s.sinations skills. That child named Solaris Vega is also well-known. In the First Military Academy, most of his works were feature though lots of them were all stolen from him. Plus the s.h.i.+ brother, s.h.i.+ Wen and s.h.i.+ Lou, these brothers are not bad as well. They both possessed a C rank physique despite being an ordinary person."

"The guides in their group are not to be looked down upon as well. Tang Si's compatibility with Qu Yeon is not bad, 69 percent is already good plus their skills complement each other too well. The junior students' Si Shen and Wu Liu are not to be looked down upon. Si Shen is a B-ranked guide with the potential to become an A-ranked guide in the future. Wu Liu's ranking is a bit low but his compatibility with his partner, Han Ling, is even higher than Qu Yeon and Tang Si. Though it's unrecorded, their compatibility is said to be beyond 70 percent, almost 80 at least.

Junior Bai Yuyan is quite famous as well. He is from a common background but he was lucky enough to awaken as a guide. This student possesses an S ranked potential which would upgrade at least to SS ranked and SSS ranked at most. Lastly, no one didn't know who Junior Feng Wu was. He has been on the aide of Young Lord Feng since they were children. He is born as an SS-ranked Guide and possesses a quarter bloodline of the Phoenix Clan."

said Norma Isis as he gives away information about the guides in Feng Jing's group.

Their captain, Lin Tian, suddenly spoke and asked,

"How about their Young Lord? Lord Jing, is he really an unawakened person?"

The moment Lin Tian asked this question everyone from his team looked at him weirdly. After all, no one in their academy didn't know that Feng Jing had failed to be awakened and was treated like trash by the other n.o.ble descendants. If he is not a Feng, the bullying he would receive would no longer be mere suffering.

Norma Isis replied,

"According to the rumors from the n.o.ble society, he is indeed an unawakened person. Captain, is there something wrong with him?"

"No... I might be overthinking things. How about the Sentinels in their group?"

said Lin Tian.

Everyone decided to ignore the topic of Feng Jing as for them he is not even worth it of being vigilant towards. After all, the latter is a trash who failed to awaken with an F-ranked physique. The weakest of all trash. But for some reason, Lin Tian thought otherwise. He could still remember Feng Jing's expression when he saw that sentinel coming over him full of killing intent.

Lin Tian's thoughts,

'At that time I am sure he was smiling. I do not think I've seen it wrong but... now I am not sure.'

"Is he really an ordinary person?"

mumbled Lin Tian with a voice only he could hear.

Lin Quan did the introductions for the sentinels of Feng Jing's team.

"I only knew a few things but not 100 percent credible. Qu Yeon is one of the strongest in their group as he is an SS-ranked Sentinel. He uses a saber as his main weapon. He is the vanguard of his original group. I don't know why they merged with Young Lord Feng's team but I'm guessing it's because of his younger brother, Qu Yul. The younger brother is an A-ranked Sentinel but I heard from Qu Yeon that his brother's potential is definitely higher than his.

The Twin Tangs, Tang Yi, and Tang San are his partner's older brothers. They are childhood friends. These two use guns as their main weapon but Tang Yu could also use a sword as his secondary. They are both B-ranked Sentinels with the potential to reach S rank as their limit. Junior Han Ling is a childhood friend of Qu Yul, the same A-rank Sentinel. This is the partner of Junior Wu Liu. As for Xue Ran, he is from a different cla.s.s. I do not know much about him."

Lin Tian said,

"Xue Ran must be from that clan. The clan of Ice Spirits, the Xue Clan. He is from Young Lord Feng's Grandfather. Senior Xue Xia's family. Must be ordered to join the group to protect Young Lord Feng. His main weapon is dual short swords plus with his clan's bloodline skill 'Ice', he should be stronger than Qu Yeon."

"Maybe Qu Yeon had worked together with this Xue Ran to defeat the Guardian and Royal Cla.s.s Zerg?"

said Leda Tine.

"The Guardian Cla.s.s is possible but the royal cla.s.s is a bit hard to believe. After all, all Royal Cla.s.s Zerg possessed SSS ranked potential. Unless you fight it with a group of SS awakened ones or an SSS-ranked awakened person. It is hard to defeat it in mere hours."

said Lin Bin.

Lin Sen said,

"I am even more surprised that there are such cla.s.sed zergs in this middle region. The things in the Central Region must be no joke. What should we do, captain?"

Lin Tian had also thought things were not right from the moment a Guardian and Royal Cla.s.s zerg appeared in the middle region and it was making him unease for some reason. He was silently thinking about the changes in the plan for their journey when Lin Quan said something important.

Lin Quan asked,

"By the way, tomorrow is the last day to stay in the middle region. But because of the existence of the guardian and royal zerg in this region, a lot of the partic.i.p.ants must be thinking of hunting tomorrow in mecha. About this, I suggest otherwise."

"You mean we must not use mecha for hunting tomorrow?"

asked Norma Isis.

Lin Quan said,

"Yes. This is after all the middle region. The majority of the zergs that live here are low and middle-cla.s.s zergs. If we use mecha, those small-sized ones cannot be hunted. Moreover, attacking other groups who are not in mecha is forbidden in this compet.i.tion."

"I agree with A'Quan. I'm sure most teams would hunt in mecha tomorrow. We should take that as an opportunity to maximize our acc.u.mulated points."

said Lin Bin.

Lin Sen,

"Seems like a nice plan. I agree."

"Me too."

Lin Tian nodded his head and said,

"We are hunting on foot tomorrow. The ordinary students would still need to wear their support mecha in the hunt tomorrow."

Meanwhile just outside the Beehive.

Alula Celeste and Marshal Sirius just finished their talks about their future plans and current goals. The fact that this Planet Citlali is the vacation star of the Zerg was something that stunned the marshal. The human race and the federation thought that this planet was still under their control and used it as the children's training ground. Who would have thought that the reason some students were missing during the a.s.sessment Test from the latter years isn't merely that the students were killed?

They were taken away by Guardian or Royal Cla.s.s zergs and were treated as snacks for them to be enjoyed. Alula Celeste had also warned him about the arrival of two royal cla.s.s zergs and at least 50 guardian cla.s.s zergs on this planet through the s.p.a.ce portal and that portal would appear in the Central Region tomorrow at the least.

The Marshal had to make some preparations secretly but mustn't let the Zerg Race notice about him appearing on this planet. So he decided to stay on the planet and ask a small but elite group from his unit to secretly follow him to this planet and eliminate those royal and guardian cla.s.s zergs before the students even entered the Central Region.

Alula Celeste who was once again covered in black-cloaked hiding his appearance behind the cloth.

"Sirius remembered. A pureblood royal cla.s.s zergs has the ability to force a human sentinel to fall in immediate mania. The ones who had been killed before were only half-bloods. The two who would come on this planet were both purebloods, if you are planning on fighting them you should bring Xiao Jing with you. Fighting against Pureblood Zergs, a guide had more advantages than a sentinel."

warned Alula Celeste.

Marshal Sirius slightly bowed his head to show his respect to the elder in front of him and said,

"I will surely keep your words in mind, Grandfather Celes. As for what you had left for me, I will be sure to pa.s.s it to Marshal Ja.n.u.s."

"Haha~ You can call A'Lan. Grandfather Lan like Xiao Jing does. If he dares scold you tell him that this old man would beat him up."

said Alula Celeste while chuckling.

Marshal Sirius responded with a joyous tone,

"I will definitely call him that."

"Good. I'm going now. Remember to protect our Xiao Jing well. Keep safe and be cautious at all times."

"Yes, Grandfather Celeste."

After their conversation ended, Alula Celeste had disappeared from the darkness heading towards the central region where the portal to the Zerg's Planet was opened. He needed to return back to that place and ordered the retreat of his clan's men. After they gathered everything they planned to return to the human race side as they've already finished their duties as spies.

Once Alula Celeste disappeared, the Marshal's friendly expression had once again turned cold and eerie. System Yue how as hovering around him could feel the dangerous aura his Lord G.o.d is emitting. This is the usual Lord G.o.d everyone from the Nether System knows. Cold and indifferent. Decisive, cruel, and merciless. Only towards his host that their Lord G.o.d's expression would turn a bit human. As all his good feelings and nice emotions were all given to his lover.

Marshal Sirius,

"Yue."

[Yes, my Lord?]

"Send a secret message to Xue Ying. Inform him about the situation on this planet and tell him to secretly send a small elite squad to this planet to back me up."

[H-How about the host? Are you not going to inform him about this, my lord?]

The marshal suddenly moved his head and looked at System Yue with a sharp and piercing gaze. System Yue couldn't be helped but stiffened under those dangerous-looking eyes.

"Do not tell him. I will clean it up before he goes to the central region."

[Y-Yes. Yue understands...]
