Chapter 96: Qin Mu, your luck is a bit bad

"Damn! It's actually Wang Yue from Star Underworld University? He's one of the favorites to win the championship this time!"

"I just watched this guy's first-round battle. It only started for ten minutes before his opponent surrendered directly!"

"Group Nine is truly worthy of being called the 'Group of Death.' Qin Mu, your luck is a bit bad..."

"..."

The three of them had strange expressions.

At the same time, they felt a bit relieved.

Fortunately, they weren't assigned to Group Nine.

Otherwise...

they probably would have been eliminated when they encountered Zheng Yao in the first round.

They wouldn't even have had a chance at the second round.

Star Underworld University.

It had a great reputation in the East Border Province and was considered a veteran powerhouse school.

For decades, they had consistently reached the top eight in the Civilization War.

And this time...

Star Underworld University's team even featured someone on the Heaven's Pride Ranking!

"This Wang Yue being able to ascend the Heaven's Pride Ranking means he has broken through to the Mid-level God stage and has very likely cultivated Eleventh-Order lifeforms!"

Chu Tiange took a deep breath.

Looking at Qin Mu, he continued his analysis: "Furthermore, the world he evolved is a Black Tortoise civilization. The lifeforms within are all Black Tortoise transformations, possessing extremely strong defense, which somewhat counters your technological civilization."

Black Tortoise world.

It is filled with Black Tortoise true spirits cultivating in human form, specializing in defense.

The higher the realm of the lifeform, the stronger the defense.

A Black Tortoise lifeform capable of cultivating to the Eleventh Order...

one can imagine its defensive power.

If judged by defense,

an Eleventh-Order Black Tortoise lifeform can even withstand attacks of Twelfth-Order intensity.

Speaking of this,

Chu Tiange was full of worry, his expression complex: "The attacks of your technological creations are very likely to be completely countered by him..."

The joy he felt earlier about the four students from Jiangcheng University advancing...

had vanished completely.

The Group Nine where Qin Mu was located was truly a "Group of Death."

In the first round, he ran into Zheng Yao, who ranked third in last year's Civilization War.

In the second round...

he encountered Wang Yue!

As Qin Mu listened, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

What the hell, being "completely countered."

These days...

why does it feel like everyone wants to counter him?

Furthermore.

In a technological civilization, as long as the dimensions and theories are sufficient, there are no flaws.

Not to mention anything else,

there are over a hundred types of technological weapons designed specifically for armor penetration.

Such as particle oscillators, super-energy armor-piercing shells, shockwaves, etc.

And on the Fengdu,

several of these armor-piercing weapons were already equipped.

"I didn't expect the second opponent to be a Black Tortoise civilization..."

Qin Mu shrugged.

His expression remained normal, without the slightest worry.

"Alright, the second round of matches will begin in three days. Everyone, go back and get some good rest, and prepare for the matches in three days."

Finally,

Chu Tiange patted their shoulders and said: "As for Qin Mu, you don't need to worry too much. Although the Black Tortoise civilization has astonishing defense, it is not invincible. Don't put too much pressure on yourself; just do your best."

Qin Mu: "..."

Immediately after,

everyone returned to Jiangcheng University via the teleportation array in the Civilization Pavilion.

They each returned to their own dormitories,

preparing to face the upcoming battles.

In the dormitory.

After Qin Mu returned,

he immediately immersed his consciousness and entered the technological universe.

Because...

after these days of deduction,

he had cracked the system of the Ancient God Void and once again located the coordinates of an ownerless civilization world.

"I wonder what kind of world this is?"

Qin Mu muttered to himself as he sensed the coordinates provided by the system.

At the same time,

he ignited his divine fire.

The divine fire burned across the sky,

and a pitch-black spatial passage quietly formed.

The aura of an alien world drifted out from it.

"Looking at the intensity of the aura, the origin is leaking quite severely. It seems the creator of this world has been dead for some time..."

Sensing it slightly, Qin Mu couldn't help but frown.

After a creator dies,

the origin will leak rapidly.

In his perception, the amount of origin in this world...

was already less than one-tenth.

After a brief thought,

he split off a wisp of his consciousness and entered this world.

Ten minutes later,

Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly bright: "I didn't expect to have searched for an Immortal Cultivation civilization!"

That's right.

This was an Immortal Cultivation civilization.

The world's diameter reached 80,000 kilometers.

It contained hundreds of thousands of lifeforms,

all of whom practiced immortal cultivation.

The origin had declined to less than one-tenth.

If nothing went wrong, the world would be completely destroyed after another hundred years of evolution.

At the same time,

because of the decline in origin, the cultivation realms of all lifeforms were continuously decreasing,

becoming increasingly decadent.

Among the hundreds of thousands of immortal cultivators in the entire world, the strongest was only at the Second Order!

"This world... is perfect for training the Great Yan Kingdom's troops!"

After a moment of contemplation,

Qin Mu decided to throw this world to the Great Yan Kingdom.

An Immortal Cultivation civilization belongs to a high-level Extraordinary category.

Unlike a Martial Arts civilization,

its combat power is formidable.

For the Great Yan Kingdom, it would be a powerful opponent.

It was just right for tempering them.

Subsequently,

Qin Mu moved his consciousness, his figure crossing over to the solar system.

He entered the Blue Star,

appearing above the imperial palace.

"Eh? Yan's lifespan is nearing its end..."

Looking at the imperial bedchamber, he frowned.

Great Yan Calendar, Year 60.

This year was the sixtieth year of Yan's reign.

His age was also nearing ninety.

Although medical technology had been continuously improving,

birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural cycles.

The current medical level of the Great Yan Kingdom simply could not reverse it.

Two years ago,

upon realizing he only had five years of lifespan left,

Yan had ordered the world to screen for the next emperor.

Unfortunately...

after searching for two years,

he still hadn't found anyone with outstanding talent, proficiency in the three volumes of the Heavenly Book, and the ability to surpass him.

"Three more years..."

In the bedchamber,

Yan looked at his increasingly aged self in the mirror and muttered silently.

Just at this moment,

a divine oracle was transmitted from the temple.

The direction of the temple shone with brilliant light.

Yan was stunned for a moment,

then immediately reacted, ordering his attendants to prepare his carriage to head to the temple.

He understood.

This kind of divine oracle...
