Chapter 491: Chapter 334: Battle for the Sea of Realms Quotas!_2

The basic attributes were augmented too little, making it very easy to be targeted and extremely easy to be killed in one shot.

Even for Shen Yurou, the Mecha she created was not placed into an equipment slot but in a space slot as an item!

This is also an additional ability of a Fourth Order Mechanic: peripheral equipment loading, which doesn’t occupy an equipment slot, effectively granting an extra equipment slot.

The attributes of this peripheral device could be stacked onto the attribute panel, but only one peripheral device’s attributes could be activated at a time.

The equipment used by Shen Yurou herself was one of the harvests from the Undead Disaster, a complete set of Purple Epic armor with balanced attributes, with all three basic attributes nearly at equilibrium and also breaking the ten-thousand mark.

With an ultimate Mecha as peripheral equipment loading, just in terms of physical damage, she would far surpass others.

However, Shen Yurou also had her weaknesses, which were her skills.

Most of the Mechanic’s skills were passive, and the active skills were mostly supportive; even the non-profession-restricted conventional skills she learned couldn’t match well with Mechas or firearms and ammunition.

As a result, her attack methods were quite one-dimensional, making it easy for enemies to target her.

Fortunately, she had obtained many alien dark science products; with such a long time spent analyzing and researching with Xiao Guang, there had been significant supplements to her attack methods.

Especially the dark technology from Dwarves, Gnomes, and Goblins, after being combined with Spirit and Demonic Runes enchantments, her originally pure physical damage mechanical creations now carried a certain amount of elemental damage, a substantial improvement.

This time, in the battle for the Sea of Realms qualification, Shen Yurou and Number Two also participated.

They weren’t like Lord Zi, who directly suppressed the academy and became the top-ranked person, hence hanging permanently at the top of the leaderboard.

In addition to that, during the Undead Disaster, Lord Zi earned the nickname of ‘Human Butcher’, and so, for this battle for qualifications, those senior students who had thoughts of revenge or settling scores all backed down.

Damn it, this person is too brutal. I’m out of here. I can’t handle this!

This is also one of the benefits of having a fierce reputation, I suppose; even for such an important Sea of Realms qualification battle, no one dares to provoke him, making it as if the first place is predestined, leaving everyone else competing for second.

To qualify for the competition, one must enter the top two thousand in the preliminary contest, and those two thousand are not only contending from within the four grades but also include senior students from the fifth and sixth years who failed to advance!

Over seven thousand talents vie for the two thousand spots within half a month.

After half a month, those two thousand and the top hundred from each grade would directly enter the final contest, totaling 2,400 people competing for one thousand Sea of Realms spots.

Shen Yurou, with her mechanical creations, for the first time let the professionals of Blue Star witness what is known as the Mechanical Tide.

A 360-degree bombing coverage without any blind spots;

Hundreds of mechanical dogs, each carrying a machine gun on its back, combining into a firing line of intense gunfire.

The Gatling Bodhisattva spewing blue fire, rotating 3,600 times in a breath, unleashing a terrifying bullet storm.

Long-range assassinations by sniper rifles, long-range bombardments by cannons, the mutual destruction of suicide robots…

Countless mechanical creations exploded with horrifying lethality.

The students who faced Shen Yurou were crushed to the ground throughout the match until all their protective means were exhausted, only to be wiped from the dimensional space with a battered face, losing the challenge.

If Shen Yurou relied on the overbearing output of the Mechanical Tide to suppress her opponents with full firepower coverage, then Number Two just needed to activate the Formation and sit waiting for the opponent to concede defeat.

The completely activated Blood River magic array, which had been refined and merged into Number Two’s personal Formation, was instantly activated on the platform with surging Blood River generating havoc, as countless Undead spirits ran rampant.

Number Two just needed to sit on the eye of the Formation, with beer, barbecue, sunflower seeds, and a small stool at hand, enjoying her time, and gradually wait for the evil Formation to operate on its own, eroding the enemy’s flesh and Spirit.

Facing the unceasing erosion by the surging blood evil and Undead spirits, no matter how many protective measures they had, it would be futile.

As for mounting an offense, amidst the overwhelming Blood River, not even forbidden spells could make much of a splash, not to mention the preparatory time required to cast such spells.

Number Two, in an almost laid-back manner, was easily escorted by an evil Formation into the final contest.

Students from the Dragon Academy related to Lord Zi, like Ying Xueji, Liu Shengnan, Zhu Wu, and Li Fengwen—four direct descendants of the four great royal families—

had never bothered to participate; they hadn’t even made it into the top hundred of the previous rankings.

In other words, the four of them had no interest in competing for the [Heart of the Lord] but were instead focusing on their own preparations.

However, with the resources of the four great royal families at their disposal, obtaining the [Heart of the Lord] would be a trivial matter for them.

The only one with a closer relationship to Lord Zi was Wang Tie and the second-year student, Senior Jiang.

The former had, through the support of his father and family, managed to acquire over a dozen Lord Boss-level beasts and even an Epic Boss pet, thanks to the two Black Dragons and a plethora of rare monsters given to him by Lord Zi.

With his full firepower unleashed, a horde of at least a hundred rare Boss-level pets nearly swept through the enemy lines, with few opponents capable of withstanding his Beast Tamer army.

This showcased the power of a well-resourced Beast Tamer; by relying on a crowd of Bosses to conquer the world, so long as he took care of his personal safety, he could usually exhaust his opponents to death under normal circumstances.

As for the latter, after minting a few fortunes courtesy of Lord Zi, Senior Jiang had significantly increased his strength, but within the second-year students, he’d barely made it into the top thousand.

With such capabilities, there was no chance of him qualifying for the ultimate contest.

However, this Senior Jiang was an interesting character; as soon as he took on the role of a guide, he made it crystal clear that he wanted to be one of Lord Zi Liyuan’s subordinates, even willing to sign a Boundary Sea Contract.

Should it be said or not, his insight into people was quite accurate; the earlier you pledge loyalty, the sooner you become one of the pioneers of the force established by Lord Zi, right?

Lord Zi didn’t accept Senior Jiang immediately when he offered to join him, but based on the information gathered from old man Huang, Senior Jiang also came from a family of civilian professionals.

For at least three generations back, they were all civilian professionals, and he’d only managed to enter the Dragon Academy through sheer tenacity and talent, barely passing the entrance assessment.

During his first year at the Dragon Academy, he barely hung on, at the very bottom of the rankings.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t hardworking enough; it was due to a lack of resources.

Others had no less talent than him, came from better families, and were just as dedicated. Without a stroke of luck, closing the gap between them was a fleeting dream.

Really, what was he thinking? Better to sleep early; staying up isn’t good for you, everything’s possible in dreams!

As long as Wang Tie wasn’t terribly unlucky this year, he should be able to secure a spot in the ultimate contest, but securing one of the final thousand spots and obtaining a Boundary Sea Lordship would be very challenging, yet not impossible.

Meanwhile, Senior Jiang kept showing up unobtrusively around Lord Zi, playing the part of a loyal, groveling follower, especially in the library where he would fetch whatever book Lord Zi wanted, immediately upon request.

Although his classmates sneered at him, he didn’t mind.

Only he knew what he was after.

Especially after the outbreak of the Undead Plague, it further confirmed his decision was right.

As long as he firmly held on to Lord Zi Liyuan’s coattails, in the future, he could potentially become not just a Boundary Sea Lord but even a Great Lord!

The bustling half-month flew by in an instant.

Finally, Zi Liyuan ended his rare relaxed and dissipated routine; half a month later, he emerged from his estate, looking haggard, and stepped into the Dragon Arena.

There was no choice; the ultimate contest had begun, and those ranked in the top hundred of their year had to be present, displayed like goods for challenge selection.

Lord Zi appeared listless, his eyes casting a chilling gaze at the challengers as if to say, “Dare choose Lord Zi, and I’ll thrash your butts until they’re shattered and maimed!”

Right, that threatening glance nearly caused the Dragon Academy’s dean, who was delivering a speech on stage, to twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Lord Zi, this brat, was petty, vindictive, and ruthlessly efficient with formidable strength to boot.

The dean of the academy could only hope that no stubborn lad would insist on choosing Lord Zi for the challenge this time around.
