Phosphorus, Airship and Silver Dragon Chronicles

Chapter 41 A Sixth-Order Demon Hunter: A Genius But the Advantage Lies With Me [Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe!]

"Destroy the Black Sail of the First Mechanical Legion Ranger, slaughter the eight sky islands of the Seventh Mica Hunting Grounds, and together with the Silent Hunters and the Dragon Chaser Sky Hunters, conquer the Arden Supernatural Factory —"

Are they villains who disregard human life and go unpunished, or the pride of the hunters of Mewon County?

They are the infamous new group of four, the Skyhunting Team, whose bounty exceeds ten thousand gold coins and has recently gained notoriety in the Merlin Passage!

Welcome to Roya, leader of the four-person aerial hunter team, to compete in this fighting tournament!

Third-tier transcendent!

Tier 3 Armored Blue Dragonfly!

I don't believe that Commander Luo Ya only has this much strength.

He must have been hiding his strength, but more likely, they were conserving their strength for the second round and didn't send out their strongest players.

Fourth-order mica dragon, Emile.

Wendell, a fifth-order witch.

This is the Group of Calamity!

Amid cheers, Roya piloted the Blue Dragonfly armor and stepped into the mist-shrouded inner ring fighting arena.

He has the most introductory remarks of any contestant so far!

The good news is that the Hunter Association did not detect the miniature Tier 5 engine from Arden.

The bad news is that if you defeat an enemy using an unregistered Tier 5 engine and get reported, you may lose your chance to advance.

However, according to the rules, you get one point for beating weaker opponents, three points for defeating opponents of the same level, and nine points for defeating opponents of a higher level. Maintaining a level 3 ranking will allow for more flexibility in terms of points.

After all, it's quite difficult for a fifth-tier to fight a sixth-tier opponent, and there are very few sixth-tier superhumans and sixth-tier armored beings. Even if you have the ability to fight above your level, you won't get many points.

But for Roya, fighting a fourth-tier opponent from a third-tier position is much easier, and there are too many fourth-tier superhumans and armored beings, so it's possible for him to take first place despite being a higher-tier opponent.

Following closely behind Blue Dragonfly into the Misty Forest was a combatant from the Swordhead Shark Sky Hunter Team, ranked tenth on the odds list.

"The Swordhead Shark Sky Hunting Team, led by the young, fourth-tier genius beast tamer Sherlock, is participating in the battle with a fifth-tier swordhead shark. They are the only hunting team in the top ten of the odds to field a beast tamer!"

A young beast tamer in white robes stood atop a four-finned swordhead shark over ten meters long as it slowly flew into the misty forest.

It is ten meters long, with the sharp sword tip taking up five meters.

The young beast tamer in white robes looked down at the blue dragonfly.

Luo Ya wondered if there was some secret organization among the Beastmasters on the Merlin Passage, with everyone following the same lineage.

It's as if wherever he goes, hatred follows.

It's like a persistent ghost, it just won't end.

"The White Falcon Sky Hunting Team is a team that has suddenly risen to prominence in the last six months. Judging from the name, one might think it is another Beast Tamer Sky Hunting Team, but White Collection is the name of the airship. It is one of the only three integrated airships among the participants in this competition."

Welcome our combatant, White Bee, to battle!

White Bee is a remotely controlled humanoid robot with an amazing fifth-order micro-engine!

This is not the level of technology that the Blue Nest Kingdom should have —

It seems this year's membership assessment has attracted quite a few incredible monsters!

Luo Ya glanced at it.

The white bee was exactly the same size as Arden, but it did not have a human skin; its silvery-white metallic shell was exposed.

Since entering the venue, Bai Feng has been staring at the blue dragonfly.

"Could it be that they saw the same internal engine?"

Luo Ya thought to himself.

Next to enter the Misty Forest is the hunter team member ranked eighth on the odds list.

"The Clockwork Bug Sky Hunters, led by Captain Bagley, are making their appearance in a magical Tier 5 beetle-shaped flapping-wing armor!"

Interestingly, along with them came a massive swarm of beetles, numbering as many as three thousand!

Each beetle is powered by a high-energy spring, reportedly with power comparable to a first-class steam boiler. We'll have to wait and see.

Luo Ya vaguely heard shouts of "cheating" coming from the stands on the outskirts of the forest.

He felt that the clockwork mechanism was too restrictive and could not be used with a differential engine, so it could not be considered a true engine.

Perhaps what viewers find hard to tolerate is that this person is piloting a Tier 5 armored vehicle while also carrying three thousand clockwork beetles—

However, the rules of combat sports do not limit the number of equipment items you can bring; you can bring as much as you can control.

If Roja hadn't been limited by poverty, he would have shown the audience what true drama really means.

"Razer Skyhunter Team, the runner-up who was eliminated by the champion in the obstacle course last year, has made a comeback this year. The destroyed Tier 4 mechanical Razer airship has been transformed into a Tier 5 electric eel beast-taming ship."

Electric eel and Razer snake—they sound pretty much the same.

Welcome last year's uncrowned king, Razer Skyhunter leader Paul Rudolf!

A year has passed, and my level has also risen to rank five!

A handsome man, with his hands in his pockets, a lightning rod on his head, wearing a blue striped uniform, and surrounded by arcs of electricity, strode into the misty forest.

As I walked past the blue dragonfly, I subconsciously glanced at it: "The membership test only said no killing, but it didn't say no capturing—a bounty of ten thousand is very tempting!"

Roya looked down at the man who spoke with an electronic voice.

"Do you still want to participate in next year's membership assessment?"

Paul Rudolf smiled calmly: "Be careful of Infinite Cube, which is second in the odds. They sent Finite Cube to compete last year and captured a lot of geniuses during the membership assessment. I captured you simply to collect the bounty. They are an air-hunting group that specializes in talent business, and they love rising young geniuses like you the most."

Luo Ya suddenly remembered the square-headed boy from yesterday—

He's a headhunter!

In the extraordinary era, extraordinary individuals, or more accurately, extraordinary abilities, have extremely important strategic value.

This has led to the emergence of many illegal headhunting companies.

Luo Ya never expected that there would be a talent-selling organization in Meiwen County.

Their evil rivals that of the Imperial Recruiting Office, and is even worse than the Silent Hunters who capture hunters for bounties!

"You're not worried about yourself, but about me, which means you think my genius surpasses yours. If that's the case, how dare you spout such arrogant talk about capturing me for the bounty?"

Whistling, Paul Rudolf said in a pretentious tone, "Have you heard the story of the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman reaping the benefits?"

Luo Ya sneered—"Ha, I've heard that since I was a child."

"Next up is the twin-tailed Sky Hunter Squad combatant, Kokorocheri. Finally, we see a female combatant in the top ten of the odds list!"

She was 2.1 meters tall, with beautiful twin ponytails, a fifth-tier superhuman, and her black armor was almost bursting at the seams from her bulging muscles—the most dazzling "muscle Barbie" on the Merlin Passage!

Kokorocheri walked past the swordhead shark, looked up, and met the beastmaster's gaze, her eyes seemingly filled with murderous intent.

Luo Ya, who grew up reading "100,000 Cold Jokes," quite likes this kind of "muscle Barbie."

Following closely behind Cokorocheri, the Black Robe Wizards Sky Hunters, formerly the Silent Hunters Sky Hunters, ranked fifth in odds, will be led by their leader, Cyrus Hunter, in the battle!

The host, in an excited tone, said: "They were once invincible on the Merlin Channel; they had witnessed the scenery of the Silver Dragon Channel; they bore countless infamy; and now they have suffered a crushing defeat at the Extraordinary Factory—"

Now, spurred by their shame, they have boldly withdrawn from the Hunter Association, a membership they had held for many years, and returned to their loyal Skywalker Island to retake the most competitive membership exam in history.

Is it to avenge past humiliations, or to reclaim the spoils that rightfully belong to them?

Welcome Sirens Hunter, leader of the Black-Robed Wizard Skyhunter, the former pride of Merlin Passage!

A sixth-order transcendent being!

Only candid poles are allowed in!

The tall, imposing Serence Hunter, his face and body concealed by a black robe and cloak, slowly entered the Misty Forest, carrying a black bone cane, and came specifically to the side of the Blue Dragonfly.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

Although it was the first time Roya had met this enemy.

"Were you the one who ignited the phlogiston sun?"

Cyrus Hunter's voice was unusually deep.

The blue dragonfly shrugged.

Roya's voice was perfectly calm: "If I said no, would you believe me?"

Cyrus Hunter had previously harbored the illusion that Prince Tali had detonated the phlogiston sun.

Judging from Luo Ya's tone, he was about 70-80% certain.

This is the kid who did it!

"Believe it or not, you and Willie Tully are both going to die."

Contestants were everywhere. Roya deliberately raised his voice: "How can you be a hunter with such petty-mindedness? To wash away your past infamy, you should advertise like this: The Silent Hunter is the first enemy in history to escape from Roya's clutches, and possibly the only one. Don't waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Cyrus Hunter struggled to suppress his rage: "You think I can't kill you just because you're wearing the Hunter Association's vest and airbags?"

The vests distributed by the Hunter Association have air sacs that are up to level nine, which can not only prevent physical damage, but also isolate blood energy and greatly immunize against supernatural attacks.

Moreover, the more destructive a supernatural ability is, the more hand seals are required; some abilities even require releasing one's own blood energy to cover the target before they can be used.

For example, a heartbroken individual who could trade one for one at the very end —

In that time, Roya and Blue Dragonfly would have long since disappeared.

However, sixth-tier transcendents are indeed troublesome, and he has to be wary of them. It would be best to resolve the hatred through clever means.

"You don't actually think that Prince Tali killed Arden, do you? Poor Arden, he was once just as confident as you, thinking that if he could kill a sixth-level superhuman, he could definitely kill me."

Use your brain. I only appeared with third-tier blood energy for points; my hidden power far exceeds your imagination.

Cyrus Hunter fell silent.

According to his later investigation, the four-person Sky Hunters not only took all the spoils from the Extraordinary Factory, but also their teammate Prince Tali's Tier 5 armor.

Within the Mayman County government, he was even labeled as a suspected member of the "Underworld Army," raising the possibility that he might actually be hiding his true strength.

Roya remained unmoved, looking down at Cyrus Hunter.

He thought to himself: Go ahead and think about it, I'm just afraid you won't—

If you think about it carefully, and let your intelligence prevail, you won't be able to seek revenge at any cost. If you observe me long enough, by the time you figure it out and realize you've been deceived, I'll already be stronger than you.

In the air, the host continued to introduce the combatants who were taking the stage.

"The Dragon Chasing Sky Hunting Team from the Seabuckthorn Kingdom was personally established by Prince Tali. It is the only foreign sky hunting team in this membership assessment and has the most luxurious airship in the entire venue, the Sail-Spinning Dragon!"

This combat match will be fought by combatant Nexus. As a sixth-tier transcendent, he also pilots an eight-meter-tall sixth-tier armored suit-wearing thug. He is the only fighter in this match with two sixth-tier statuses, and the four-meter-long machete he carries is particularly eye-catching!

Roya was certain that the giant armored vehicle in front of him, carrying a four-meter-long steam blade, with a one-meter-long mechanical cigar in its mouth and painted in a black suit, was the reinforcement that Prince Tali had brought back from his homeland.

To prevent him from raiding our home, we specially hired a sixth-level superhuman as our driver!

As Roya passed the blue dragonfly, he received a whisper from the thug in the suit: "I heard you're His Highness's friend, but His Highness's orders are for me to stay away from you. But if you get in my way, I'll beat up even my friends."

Roya replied with a smile, "It seems you still don't understand why His Highness ordered you to stay away from me."

Nix paused for a moment, still not understanding.

"His Highness instructed me to inform you that once the fighting tournament begins, I will suppress all the strong fighters. You can take this opportunity to gain more points and strive to achieve a top-three ranking. In the second round, we will jointly hunt the Stealth Dragon Balls. If you obtain them, His Highness will offer you a price you cannot refuse."

"Okay, I'll try my best to get a good ranking."

When it came to the Valkyrie, who was third in the odds, the host's tone became noticeably calmer: "The Valkyrie Sky Hunter Team consists of triplets, and their leader, Isabel, will personally participate in this fighting match."

After a very brief sentence, the app switched to the second-ranked game on the odds list: the Infinite Cube.

Isabel walked past the blue dragonfly without giving Roya a second glance.

But Luo Ya subconsciously dispersed his blood energy.

He was certain that this was not the Isabelle he had met in the sanatorium bath.

It is very likely another of the triplets.

Perhaps it should be called Isabel II or III, both being sixth-order mechanical puppets with human hearts built in.

After considering everything, Luo Ya realized that among the top ten were two allies, Valkyrie and Dragon Chaser, and behind them was his underling, the Sky Hunter Group.

The advantage lies with me!

"Infinite Cube Space Hunter Team, just from the name, you can tell that it is the brother team of the previous champion Finite Cube Space Hunter Team!"

I have seen them many times during the membership assessment. This year's Rubik's Cube Airship is composed of multiple small square floating pods, like a Rubik's Cube toy for children, full of childlike fun.

But don't forget, in just one year, they amassed a bounty of 90,000, and no one dared to underestimate them.

This fighting match will feature Levi Strauss, the youngest member of the Infinite Cube Sky Hunter Team!

A 13-year-old Tier 3 superhuman pilots a Tier 6 segmented armor consisting of 27 levitation pods!

But perhaps—he wasn't the most terrifying kid in this fighting match.

Luo Ya saw a 3x3x3 27-color Rubik's Cube armor rolling into the Misty Forest, mercilessly crushing the trees in its path.

A round-headed, dark-skinned boy with a blank stare, holding an ice cream, followed closely behind.

It's none other than the leader of the top-ranked children's air-hunting team, the gluttonous Devor!

"The king of the children from Lindeshire, Devor, traveled against the current along the Merlin Passage to Skywalk Island, carrying a bounty of 120,000 gold coins—"

The destructive power of the king of kids should not be underestimated!

I advise you all to be fearful, or you may become one of the countless corpses along the Merlin Passage.

Inside the Blue Dragonfly cockpit, Roya heard a voice transmission from the Wendell mechanical watch: "Be careful, this child is a sixth-tier demon."

As the gluttonous Divor stepped into the Misty Forest with a blank expression, beams of light rose from the edge of the forest, and glowing buoys were densely arranged in a circular plane in the air, forming a cylindrical fighting arena with a diameter of three thousand meters and a height of one thousand meters.

The 312 combatants quickly spread out among themselves, ensuring that there were no enemies within their 100-meter visibility range.

Not only was Luo Ya's vision obstructed, but his blood energy was also interfered with by the mist, preventing him from spreading out over a great distance.

In a daze, the misty forest transformed into a dark forest.

The host's powerful, high-pitched voice resounded from above all the contestants, echoing through the misty forest and creating swirling vortexes of air.

"I hereby declare the first stage of this year's Merlin District membership assessment—the combat competition—officially begun!"
