Chapter 497: Chapter 454: Making a Name for Green Shadow (Large Chapter)_2

Every round, the longest lasted only ten minutes.

Most ended within ten, twenty seconds.

“Damn! All my revival chances are used up! They freaking limited firearm usage!”

“Yeah, I had borrowed a Vulcan Gatling, but damn, the bullets were slow as molasses, might as well have given me a revolver!”

“Huh, are there restrictions on firearm weapons too? I used two Swift Revolvers, didn’t seem any different.”

In the low-level Awakener phase, firearms can play a significant role. Ordinary bullets, although ineffective against Fourth or Fifth Layer Demonized Beasts, can inflict fatal injuries on human Awakeners. Even for those at the Fourth or Fifth Layer, who are quite fast and can potentially dodge bullets, they would still fall under heavy barrage.

This cost-effective weapon, in the hands of low-level Awakeners, commonly means everyone having a rifle or pistol—well, only around the larger Sanctuaries. In some remote and smaller Sanctuaries, or those nearly fallen small countries around Daxia Country, lacking a complete production line, Awakeners can’t procure firearms.

Tang Yu initially thought the scene in Martial Combat would involve armed individuals thrashing unarmed Awakeners. Now, it seems, conventional weapons are somewhat restricted. Could they have been weakened to some degree based on the user’s strength?

Surprisingly, it’s still a ‘fair’ fight!

“Eh… no, even if firearm weapons are weakened, that’s still better than some who don’t even have weapons. High-end weapons, even just hacking twice, still have incredible power. Not to mention the Awakeners from Green Shadow, who have complete sets of Combat Uniforms, Rune Blades, and various potions and props.”

—Rune cold weapons, the enhancement for Awakeners isn’t that exaggerated. Even a Fifth Tier Peak Awakener with an A-class… even Transcendent Divine Weapon, couldn’t leap realms and challenge a Ninth Layer Peak…well, Tang Yu thought about it and figured he might, but battling at Awakening Tier Perfection? That would be a joke.

Using an Energy-gathering Cannon, however, an ordinary person might be able to kill the Transcendent—if they could hit the target.

Thus, Rune cold weapons weren’t weakened in the rules. Tang Yu guessed that the effectiveness of props and potions might be slightly reduced—like a Healing Scroll that originally could heal severe injuries, now might only treat moderate ones, but that’s still pretty buggy!

His gaze swept across the combat zones overhead; from their Combat Uniforms, Tang Yu could discern which Awakeners were associated with Green Shadow—quite a few among the hundred, perhaps seven or eight.

“So, business has grown this much without me realizing!”

Yet, temporarily, no one used potions or props, unknown whether unnecessary or because their level was too low to afford them.

The competition was intense and fierce. Unbeknownst to them, the combat zones in the sky thousands of meters high had thinned out, indicating that most low-level Awakeners had been eliminated. The basic competition stage was moving into its final phase.

Too far to sense their auras, Tang Yu could still tell based on looks, that those remaining on the fields were likely Fifth Tier Awakeners.

…

Holy Domain Space—East Area Eight.

Each pillar of light was a gathering point, convening tens or hundreds of thousands of Awakeners.

As more were eliminated, members of the same organization, once all knocked out and sharing notes, might discover they likely all lost to the same individual. Strong contenders in the basic tier gradually entered everyone’s view.

“Commander Chi, I recall your nephew is at Fifth Tier Peak and possesses a very advanced Special Ability like ‘Bullet Time.’ Even facing a Sixth Layer Awakener, he’d have a good chance. I think, of the two hundred spots, surely one belongs to your nephew.”

Being flattered by a peer leader, Commander Chi beamed but humbly waved his hand, “Oh, not at all. There are many strong members in your organization too. My nephew is just lucky to have Awakened abilities suitable for combat… But, I really have high hopes for him this time; I even lent him the ‘Ice Soul Dual Blades.'”

“What, you gave him that weapon found in the relics as well? Then who could compete against him? I hope our remaining member won’t encounter your nephew.”

At this moment, only about one or two thousand Awakeners were left, and most had already used their revival privileges.

“Commander, Chi Zhongyu has returned, but it seems, it seems…”

The reporter hesitated, causing Commander Chi to suddenly fear the worst and hurried over, followed closely by the leader of another powerhouse.

The highly anticipated Chi Zhongyu, now sitting on the ground as if soul-lost, covered in bruises, coughing up blood non-stop, with a Healing Series Ability User strenuously removing toxins from his body.

“…How did he lose?”

Chi Zhongyu lifted his head, “The opponent was a Poison Series ability user. He wasn’t just extremely fast and strong, but his control over the poison was terrifying. He could summon a poison dragon and even split it into countless droplets raining down. Although I could see clearly, I couldn’t dodge them…”

“Moreover, there was something weird about the opponent’s Combat Uniform. I had a chance and hit him on the back with the ‘Ice Soul Dual Blades,’ but I couldn’t even penetrate his Combat Uniform!”
