The first batch to arrive were the Tier Seven Insect Beasts, Thunderous Bull Insects.
Upright black bristles, ferocious tusks, crimson insect eyes, and huge bodies barreling forward on all fours, the countless Thunderous Bull Insects surged like an iron flood, raising boundless dust and charging ferociously towards the trainees.
"Disperse!" At the command of the God of Slaughter, Wang Xu and the others scattered immediately, racing to meet the oncoming Thunderous Bull Insects.
All six thousand trainees moved simultaneously, their ranks surging like a tide.
In a flash, both sides clashed thunderously—
Wang Xu, positioned in the middle of the crowd, faced the fierce onslaught of the Thunderous Bull Insect horde. His body swayed left and right, stepping forward, passing through the Thunderous Bull Insects like a phantom, swiftly passing them by.
"Damn it! Don’t block the way!"
"Damn, don’t pull me!"
Behind Wang Xu, a large number of trainees pushed and cursed at one another but were soon trampled by the surging Thunderous Bull Insects, shattering into a white light and disappearing, utterly losing their qualification for the selection.
Just this first collision eliminated three-quarters of the trainees from the selection.
"Thunderous Bull Insects are large-sized Insect Beasts, not with an elusive body technique, easily avoidable. I wonder what the second wave will be." Wang Xu continuously leapt across the backs of Thunderous Bull Insects, inciting their rampage but ignoring it, crossing over the Thunderous Bull Insect horde and running on the boundless plain.
The Thunderous Bull Insects behind him gradually faded away, finally disappearing over the horizon.
At this moment, the members of the Black Eye Battle Group had all been scattered by the first wave, and there was no acquaintance around Wang Xu.
Silently, at the intersection of heaven and earth, snake-like Insect Beasts slid with barrel-thick bodies, swiftly converging towards Wang Xu.
"Celestial Serpents!"
Upon seeing this scene, many trainees gasped in shock. Celestial Serpents are Tier Eight Insect Beasts, extremely skilled in body technique. Even top-tier Tier Eight experts would have to run away embarrassedly if they encountered them. Otherwise, a prolonged fight would eventually result in being smashed into pulp by the serpent’s tail, becoming a meal for the Celestial Serpent.
Fortunately, this was a Virtual Space, and the Celestial Serpents would not actively attack the selectors. Upon contact, the trainees cautiously avoided the Celestial Serpents, fearing stepping on one accidentally and provoking their onslaught, losing their qualification, and causing their speed to slow considerably.
Without pausing his steps, Wang Xu tiptoed across the ground, his body seemingly dancing gracefully as he floated through the swarm of Celestial Serpents.
Constant, unwilling cries came from the trainees behind. Despite giving their utmost attention and being extremely cautious, they still couldn’t withstand the torrent of Celestial Serpents, stepping on a Celestial Serpent accidentally. Immediately, dozens of Celestial Serpents pounced, biting them to pieces, transforming into a beam of white light and disappearing.
The same scenario played out in different locations, and in the blink of an eye, another half of the trainees lost their qualifications for selection.
After facing the impacts of two waves of Insect Beast hordes, only a few hundred trainees were left out of six thousand. Many were already injured, losing mobility and being forced to give up, reducing their numbers to just two or three hundred.
All the trainees standing in front of Wang Xu invariably lost their qualification, and Wang Xu charged to the front row, walking side by side with the God of Slaughter and others.
Suddenly, a shadow covering the sky gradually emerged on the horizon.
Covered in fiery red feathers, they seemed as if bathed in flames, awe-inspiring and stern.
Red Flame Carved Insects!
The Tier Eight Red Flame Carved Insects, rulers of the skies, were now flapping their massive wings, swooping down.
The selectors’ hearts sank. The Red Flame Carved Insects had an inherent aerial advantage, being agile and unpredictable. Once touched, drawing the attention of a Red Flame Carved Insect, it would immediately attack. In this place, there was nowhere to hide, forcing one to endure the Red Flame Carved Insect’s attack. Getting injured meant losing qualification was not far off.
Wang Xu dared not be careless. As soon as he came into contact with the Red Flame Carved Insects, his steps flickered continuously, his figure darting left and right at top speed, rapidly passing through the Red Flame Carved Insect army.
The Red Flame Carved Insects had no discernible flight path. Even if one Red Flame Carved Insect was dodged, the ones behind would block your path, forcing everyone to slow down, except Wang Xu, who kept running at top speed.
With a Heart Level body technique, observing everything with one’s heart, the swarm of Red Flame Carved Insects appeared endless, yet gaps still existed. These gaps were what Wang Xu focused on with all his heart, and as soon as he found one, he moved over without hesitation.
His movements connected fluidly, making Wang Xu appear unimpeded, like flowing water seamlessly.
Everyone witnessing this scene raised their heads, gasping in amazement.
Those who can make it here are all the elite among elites, geniuses among geniuses, top-notch figures selected from thousands. However, they were all stopped, and only Wang Xu was able to pass through smoothly. Isn’t that shocking?
But they had no time to pay attention to Wang Xu as they actively dealt with the Red Flame Carved Insects in front of them.
Very soon, someone accidentally touched a Red Flame Carved Insect, and immediately a large group of them swarmed, tearing the person to pieces, turning them into a white glow, disappearing without a trace.
One after another, the white glows flashed and disappeared, and the number of people was rapidly decreasing.
The difficulty of the third wave was too great, even these geniuses couldn’t withstand such a test, and they all fell one by one.
"Phew!" Wang Xu turned around, dodging the last Red Flame Carved Insect’s obstruction, running on the boundless land, taking a long breath of relief.
The Red Flame Carved Insects were really troublesome, even with Heart Level body technique, it was still hard to dodge.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wang Xu’s gaze caught sight of a door in the distance, and in front of it, an elder had been waiting for some time.
"Congratulations, the first passer, this is your clearance proof, keep it well." The elder smiled at Wang Xu, handing him a green chip.
Taking the chip, Wang Xu thanked him and passed through the light gate, returning to reality.
After a while, the God of Slaughter, Apostle, Demon, and others arrived belatedly. Their body technique was only at the Spirit Level stage, not as good as Wang Xu’s Heart Level body technique, and it took them a lot of time to barely get here.
One by one, they took the chip handed by the elder, passed through the light gate, and successfully passed the Cyan Peak Tower selection.
The thirty slots were quickly given out. The elder looked at the people rushing over from behind, shook his head, passed through the light gate, and disappeared completely.
"Where’s the old man who was just here? Damn it! Where did he go!" A man with a Celestial God Battle Group badge on his chest arrived at where the elder was just staying, and roared loudly, having lost track of the elder.
"Hei Teng, we are too late." Another person who had just caught up also had a Celestial God Battle Group badge on his chest, sighed, and said.
Hei Teng’s face looked grim. He was a member of the Celestial God Battle Group and also a major figure in the Core Area Hei Family. He was a genius, an elite, a high-class human, and he was humiliated by failing in the Cyan Peak Tower selection!
"As far as I know, the selection qualification is on a chip, and the chip doesn’t record personal information. We can buy it from them." The team member said.
Hei Teng’s eyes flashed. He remembered Wang Xu, who had just rushed past him. Wang Xu must have a chip!
"Originally, I didn’t want to take action, but it’s fate, no one can blame me!" Hei Teng showed a cruel smile.
Wang Xu was extremely excited to obtain the chip. Being able to enter the Warship Ruins and see the Earth Restricted Area had once been his dream.
Only the strong could set foot in the Earth Restricted Area.
And now, he was one of the strong!
Wang Xu inserted the chip into the Light Computer, and immediately a green screen was projected out, displaying the most comprehensive map information of the Warship Ruins.
"The information on here slightly differs from what I bought from the Trading Hall," Wang Xu took out the intelligence on the Warship Ruins and compared it with the map information in front of him, finding several dangerous areas marked on the purchased intelligence that were not mentioned on the electronic map.
"It seems that the money spent was justified." Those few marked dangerous areas seemed ordinary, but they were related to life and death, and this alone justified the three million Contribution Points he spent.
Then, Wang Xu began to study the intelligence on the Warship Ruins, memorizing every detail mentioned, and occasionally comparing it with the intelligence provided by the chip.
"Beep!" Suddenly, Wang Xu’s Light Computer received a message.
"I am Hei Teng, you must have heard about me from Tang Yan, I want to arrange a meeting with you."
Wang Xu frowned. His impression of Hei Teng was very poor; Hei Teng used his family status to pressure someone just because he took a liking to a girl, which disgusted Wang Xu.
"Alright, I will be there on time."
Although Wang Xu didn’t like Hei Teng, he thought it was necessary to meet with him for the matter concerning Tang Yan.
Afterwards, Wang Xu continued to immerse himself in studying the intelligence of the Warship Ruins.
On the other side, Hei Teng received Wang Xu’s reply, took a sip of tea, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"A mere Tier Seven, it’s best if you obediently hand over the chip to me, otherwise, humph!" Hei Teng snorted coldly, crushing the teacup in his hand into powder.
