Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Therefore, the areas that the court focused on guarding were also remote areas such as fishing villages. After all, remote areas were the most favored by the Deep Sea Church. On the one hand, the people in these areas were easy to deceive, and on the other hand, remote areas were convenient for hiding.

The Tribunal, which frequently deals with the Deep Sea Church, also knows where the members of the Deep Sea Church like to hide, so it often patrols remote areas.

However, the Deep Sea Church is particularly adept at hiding and is not easily discovered.

Now that they've caught the tail, the court's actions are remarkably swift, heading straight for the target location...

“These are…” A member of the court bent down, picked up the scaled beasts, examined them for a moment, and said, “Ordinary scaled beasts, without any other factors involved…”

"How could a scaled beast jump onto the beach..." another member of the court asked.

"Without a doubt, there is something in the water that the scaled beasts fear."

As the overlord of the ocean, it can be said that no one in the ocean dares to provoke it, but under normal circumstances...

Even if the Scaled Beast encountered the Sea Child, there was no reason for it to be so panicked.

There is no doubt that something happened in the ocean that caused the scaled beasts to flee...

Before the Great Quiet, similar unusual events occurred in the ocean, somewhat resembling the current situation...

Simply put, when a large number of sea creatures move in a certain direction, they emit a kind of pressure that causes nearby animals to flee in panic.

The lead judge gazed at the ocean, and, as a precaution, shared his suspicions with his superiors, leaving the decision to them…

Iberia did not dare to gamble and immediately sent its army to investigate the situation in the ocean.

Underwater drones have been developed that can enter the sea to conduct live broadcasts and investigate situations...

Iberia did just that. After receiving the news, they sent out a bunch of drones to investigate. Unfortunately, the situation in the sea was too chaotic. A bunch of scaled beasts were rushing around in the ocean. If the drones entered the sea at this time, they would easily be smashed by the scaled beasts.

Therefore, the key is to win through sheer numbers and to choose the right entry point into the water...

The coastline wasn't a good location, so the drone flew at low altitude, searching for a suitable spot.

It will take Iberia some time to investigate what is happening in the sea, and other countries have not yet discovered any anomalies in the sea. In other words, apart from Iberia, no other country is paying attention to what is happening in the ocean.

Back in Longmen, Fang Rui watched the live stream on a high-definition screen in the conference room of Zhuihuo Company. The screen was as big as a wall and was used by Weiliwei for the performance, but unfortunately it was only used once...

Later, Pado used it to watch TV series. Judging from the layout of the conference room, Pado used it frequently.

A soft, spacious sofa, a refrigerator stocked with drinks, a storage cabinet filled with snacks...

Various props for watching TV series were displayed in the conference room.

As for the conference table, it has been placed against the wall to prevent it from blocking the screen.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself~" Fang Rui sat on the sofa, sinking into it completely.

"It's alright~" Pado waved her hand gently; she had learned it from others.

"How's the match going?" The live stream that Pado was watching was the match itself...

"Most of the matches were quite ordinary, nothing worth watching, and a few were even crushing victories..."

Pado looked bored. "It's so boring."

"Perhaps I should use the 'PUBG' format for the elimination rounds, which would save more time and add more fun."

"...Change it at the last minute?" Pado asked.

“There’s no need.” Fang Rui propped his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on the live stream. “The arena has multiple spaces; dozens of matches are taking place simultaneously each time…”

"Uh!" Pado blinked a few times, but didn't say anything more.

On the other side, the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

Wei Yanwu and the Grand Tutor moved the conversation to Chen Huijie's office in the Imperial Guard Bureau.

In the office, besides Wei Yanwu and others, there were also Madam Wen Yue and others, as well as Shi Huaiya and others.

While watching the live stream, the group also discussed the content.

"These people's Originium Arts are practically wholesale. I've seen dozens of people using the same Originium Arts, the only difference being their power."

"There's a problem, an obvious problem."

"Stop talking, you've said the same thing several times already." Chen's tone was helpless. These people kept repeating themselves without finding the root cause; it was all useless nonsense.

“Ahem! We’d like to say something else, but…” someone in the delegation turned their gaze to the live stream, “Some things in the live stream are truly shocking. If we could obtain the method for the other side to mass-produce the same Originium Arts, it would be very helpful in enhancing the military strength of Yan.”

“Indeed, but…” another member of the delegation said, “Why would someone reveal their best skills?”

"Sell it for money?"

“We can give it a try, but whether we can succeed is another matter. I think those people come from the same faction; their clothes, appearance, and martial arts moves are very similar.”

"A hidden force? They didn't even let out a whisper."

Should we investigate this?

Chapter 653 Transition

"I don't think it's very useful. The fact that the other party has been able to hide for so long without leaking any information is enough to explain something."

The Grand Tutor understood the abilities of giant beasts; some of them could even create a space for people to live in. If these people had a giant beast backing them up, then it would make perfect sense.

If his guess is true, it means that even giant beasts were attracted to this event...

First, we can rule out items like Oripathy treatment potions, as these are useless against behemoths. So…

The remaining prize is the first-place reward: a wish.

The giant beasts possess a variety of abilities, described in the historical records and folklore books of the Yan Kingdom, not to mention that the Yan Kingdom now possesses a large number of fragments of giant beasts...

These fragments of the behemoth, those that are well-behaved, you can ask them questions; those that are eager to cause trouble, you can often interact with them and over time obtain information about the behemoth.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the higher-ups of Yan Kingdom were aware of the special abilities of the giant beasts, and that a certain giant beast possessed the ability to grant "wishes".

Instead, they speculate on the scope of what wishes can be fulfilled, ruling out the possibility that any wish can be granted.

After all, the power of a giant beast has its limits, so within those limits, to what extent can this "wish" be fulfilled?

The Grand Tutor and others had no way of knowing about this matter, but judging from the fact that the beast's retinues all came to participate, it can be inferred that the "scope" should be very wide.

"I heard you say that the giant beast that hosts the competition is very familiar with Nian and Xi?"

The Grand Tutor inquired of Wei Yanwu, "In the past, Sui could be said to have no friends. I don't know what he was thinking, but he turned against the other giant beasts. After the other giant beasts were defeated or fled to other areas, Sui turned to attack Yan Kingdom..."

Then he was sealed away and suppressed under the "golden toilet".

Therefore, there are practically no giant beasts that have a good relationship with the year, which means that Fang Rui is a giant beast that the year and the evening know.

First is Xi. As one of the most worry-free individuals among the Year Beast fragments, Xi has been staying at home and has not ventured to other areas, making it highly unlikely that she will make new friends.

As for Nian, she wandered around various parts of Yan Kingdom and even had records of traveling to other countries. If she knew a giant beast, the Grand Tutor thought it was quite reasonable.

“We are very familiar with each other. The three of them usually act together…” Wei Yanwu said, referring to the intelligence he had gathered.

After Fang Rui arrived at Longmen, the three of them did indeed spend most of their time together.

"Is that so..." The Grand Tutor did not continue to ask questions, but instead asked another question, "If you participate in the competition, how confident are you of getting into the top ten?"

"If the enemy is at the same level as the one shown in the live stream, then I'm somewhat confident."

"Indeed, while these people's Originium Arts are unique, they are not particularly strong."

The Grand Tutor frowned. If it were truly related to a giant beast, these people shouldn't be so weak.

In other words, there's a hidden trick up their sleeve.

No rush. If you want it, you'll definitely show up.

According to the competition rules, Minato Namikaze and others are exempt from participating in the elimination rounds, since their strength is well-known and there is no need for them to participate.

The other contestants had no objections to this, since fewer strong competitors would make it easier for them to advance; who would want to encounter the BOSS in the elimination rounds?

"The strong one probably hasn't shown up yet." Wei Yanwu was very calm. Based on his understanding of Fang Rui, since that person dared to hold the competition, he must have made some preparations.

Not to mention……

Wei Yanwu turned his gaze to the communicator. A message had been sent by an emperor, someone asking him to borrow the "border."

Because the word "border" was in quotation marks, those who knew about evil spirits knew where Fang Rui was borrowing it from.

Demons can absorb fear to strengthen themselves, so the Emperor of Yan would never send someone weaker to the border...

As for whether the Emperor of Yan spoke with Fang Rui after seeing the live stream, the answer is yes.

Fang Rui was also prepared, telling the other side to deploy troops on the border so that they could launch a saturation attack if any problems arose.

Due to the influence of Originium, Terra's current technological development is somewhat skewed.

The saturation attack that Fang Rui mentioned does exist in Yan Country, but it differs from what Fang Rui envisioned.

Neither the Emperor of Yan nor Wei Yanwu could have guessed Fang Rui's thoughts, but since the other party dared to say so, the Emperor of Yan dared to arrange for people to do so.

He not only arranged for people, but he even sent the Celestial Master and the fragments of the Year Beast to the border.

It is common for Celestial Masters and fragments of the Year Beast to reside on the border in the Yan Kingdom.

Especially after some of the giant beast fragments went to Lungmen to cause trouble for the Ice Dragon, there was no need to spare some energy to pay attention to the actions of the opposing giant beast fragment faction, so more troops could be sent to the border of Yan Kingdom.

On the other side, the people were competing.

Since Minato Namikaze and the others did not need to participate in the elimination rounds, they were not in the arena.

After spending a few days wandering around the capital, they had become quite familiar with it. Considering that the finals were to be held in another location, the group began to move on...

Upon arriving in the world of Terra, many people frowned, as some could detect the Originium dust in the air.

“The environment is terrible…” someone said.

"Is it bad? It is indeed quite bad..." another person asked rhetorically, then answered his own question.

"What is the powder in the air? There seems to be something wrong."

"Lord Fang Rui said it's Originium powder, and its corrosiveness seems a bit strong?"

"A bit strong?" Someone took a deep breath, feeling their nasal cavity filled with Originium powder, and said, "I don't feel anything, but it's true that it's easy to choke."

"Fighting in this environment would have an impact on us."

Take the strongmen of the maritime world, for example. Every single one of them is incredibly strong in terms of physique, and similarly, their lung capacity is also quite impressive. They can even gather half a pound of Originium powder with a single deep breath.

"Fang Rui should be able to solve this problem, so there's no need to worry."
