Today's second update: Chapter 2864! 2/4!
As the bottom three races after the Myriad Races Sequence had been condensed into the Thousand Races Sequence, the rat race, cat race, and rabbit race naturally each possessed some foundation that had allowed them to avoid exile to the Wildlands Battlefield.
The rat race's greatest foundation was its population.
Out of ten thousand rats, perhaps 9,999 were mediocre, with only one possessing a decent bloodline and qualifying as a combatant for the rat race, currently ranked one thousandth in the B-tier Sequence.
But even at such a tiny ratio, the rat race's population was simply too massive. If they chose one in ten thousand from a population of one trillion, they could still select one hundred million combatants.
And if, among those hundred million combatants, there was another one-in-ten-thousand chance of a person with a powerful bloodline appearing, then ten thousand so-called rat race prodigies could emerge.
For an event like the last-place elimination tournament, the rat race had mobilized its entire race. There was one and only one member of the race whose bloodline had reached the pinnacle SSS-tier: the Devour Heaven Demon Rat, whose realm had also reached Blue Star's peak.
His birth could be described as one in trillions upon trillions.
Whether the entire rat race could find a second individual with a Tier-SSS Bloodline remained debatable. Thus, among the bottom three races, the rat race's sole and greatest advantage was its population.
After eighty percent of the rat race's branches had unified, the only rat worthy of Xu Kun's notice was the Devour Heaven Demon Rat.
The cat race, which had only a little over sixty branches, was far inferior to the rat race in population after fully unifying, but their quality was on an entirely different level.
