High-Level Match
After saying this, the ghost paused for a moment, as if savoring something, before continuing:
"My name is... Yashan, the National Guardian Mage the Yashan Empire. My current body is that of a high-level professional, whose profession is [Silent Wraith]."
A Forbidden Existence, which then directly Self-Destruct.
After a moment of silence, Father Tali Lang slowly stood up and placed his hands on the Bible:
"Thank you all for your candor. Now that everyone has revealed their identities, perhaps we should get down to business. About this battlefield, about how we compete, and... the absentee."
"Although the exact form of the District War is still unknown, it will definitely involve District War attacks."
"The fact that everyone is willing to sit down and talk shows that everyone is willing to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. They don't want to expend too much energy on the District Wars in this world, but rather to accumulate strength to compete with Survivors from other worlds in the upcoming Continued Battles."
Father Tali Lang finished speaking, the area around the round table remained quiet. His kind smile did not fade, and his gaze slowly moved around again, finally settling on Su Luo with a silent hint.
Su Luo broke the silence by tapping her knuckles twice on the smooth tabletop.
"Father Tali Lang is right. Since the system has set a threshold of 'the top 10% of the world can participate in the Continued Battle,' then barring any unforeseen circumstances, everyone present can participate. There's no need to waste time on suspicion here."
"Therefore, I believe the basic strategy for this battlefield should be to maximize our own defense and [Tinder] strength. Attacking others is a poor, or even the worst, strategy at this stage."
After speaking, Su Luo smiled slightly and asked, "Does anyone have any opinions?"
No one responded immediately, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze. The crowd's gazes began to wander, exchanging unspoken messages. Finally, as if drawn by an invisible force, the eyes of the representatives from the eight regions, more or less, all turned to that ghostly figure— Yashan.
Yashan remained silent for a few moments, then said calmly, "What are you saying, all that's just a way to unite against me? Your high-sounding rhetoric is nauseating."
"Nonsense, you're the only one who's not human, who else would I target if not you?" Gai Li said impatiently, still slumped over.
Yashan's form trembled, and he disdained to speak again.
Father Tali Lang cleared his throat and spoke again, "Alright, everyone. The specific details of the cooperation will need to be discussed after the District War officially begins. For now, perhaps we should prioritize addressing those 'unknown dangers' in that region that has yet to show itself. Please feel free to discuss this further."
The area where someone is absent is automatically considered as not communicating, and those who don't communicate deserve to eat shit. This is a detail that everyone agrees on.
Su Luo's mind stirred; she turned off all microphones and turned to look at Song Shige.
How so?
"Based on past information from the World Channel, these nine areas, including you and me, currently house a total of seven professionals who have obtained 'Special Abilities' qualifications," Song Shige said.
Shan Yixian, Wang Gu Chao Ketu, Ghost, lacks special attributes.
The 42nd day of the survival challenge has come to an end, and there are definitely no more than fifty-six professionals worldwide with this unique characteristic.
There are seven of them on this battlefield... Roughly extrapolating from this, there are probably seven or eight such high-level matches worldwide?
"You stay here and chat. Go talk to Shan Yixian and the others. I'll go out and put the Laboratory back together."
Su Luo closed her eyes, her consciousness receding from this mental space like the receding tide.
The moment I returned to reality, the scene before me was subtly different from what I had seen before.
Jing Yunxin's Sanctuary, radiating a soft white light, stood not far to her left. With its presence, the light of the [Tinder] seemed to be drawn forward by an invisible force, extending more than fifty meters, carving out a clear "path" in the absolute darkness.
Vertically, the more imposing Sanctuary at Guizishi also opened up a second path.
Clearly, placing Sanctuary not only provides a defensive foothold but also proactively expands the Safe Zone, buying valuable early warning and reaction time to defend against attacks.
Su Luo stepped forward and quickly examined the two Sanctuary. Both had reached level seven.
Jing Yunxin usually has a lot of healing tasks, and her Sanctuary also has powerful healing functions, even area-of-effect healing. Therefore, her Sanctuary is the second level seven Sanctuary in Zone 76, Song Shige is the first.
Guizishi was the fourth one. Just an hour ago, he was only level six. It was only after the District War update announcement that the Mutual Aid Association used its reserves to forcibly pile up resources, barely managing to complete the promotion before the war. Guizishi himself was dumbfounded; he couldn't believe that resources could be mobilized so quickly.
After all, Song Shige 'Sanctuary couldn't withstand the residual energy from his [Blood City] spell. If, during the fierce battle, Guizishi's Sanctuary wasn't breached by the enemy but instead destroyed by friendly AOE attacks, that would be a huge joke.
Su Luo raised her hand, and piles of silver-white components flew out from their Sanctuary and began to assemble on the spot, still entirely automatically by Su Luo.
Ten minutes later, Su Luo placed the Laboratory opposite the two Sanctuary, guarding both directions.
"Only 20% of the Mana power remains... How come the Mana is so scarce in this wretched place?"
During Laboratory Unsealing, the energy system will naturally dissipate in large quantities, and can only be maintained by the basic reserves of the Mana Pool and the limited element library.
Su Luo looked around, and with a thought, the Laboratory began to extract the already scarce free magic Mana from the surrounding space in an almost predatory manner, instantly creating a brief Mana Vacuum around the Laboratory.
"Only 25% has been filled, how can it be so barren?"
Su Luo focused her senses on the [Tinder], which continuously produced Mana power, but at an absurdly slow pace.
He stopped dwelling on it and casually waved his hand. In an instant, deep Black Flames silently Spread out from him, crawling forward like a living thing, quickly covering all areas. Only the three people whose consciousness was still in the [Tinder] space and the locations of the two friendly Sanctuary, along with the [Tinder], were precisely avoided.
[Preparation time ended]
[Temporary leaderboard now open -- [Guardian Rankings]]
[District War Officially Begins]
[The District War ends when only 10% of the world's remaining groups remain.]
"Defend," begin!
The system notification sounded coldly.
Two lines of text instantly appeared on the panel:
[First Wave]
[World Remaining Groups: 100%]
Almost at the same instant the system notification appeared, a wild roar suddenly erupted from the boundary between darkness and firelight. A giant, black-haired gorilla, over three meters tall and with bulging muscles, appeared out of thin air at the end of an attack path.
But the moment it appeared, the Black Flames melted its lower body. If Su Luo n't reacted quickly, its upper body would have been lost.
