Chapter 206: Military Merit Quota

Damn, 1 billion?

My god!

It's 1 billion.

Even the usually composed Captain He Si stood up, and the team members stared in astonishment at Xiao Yu; Rui Zhi abruptly turned his head toward Jin Zhuan, "Jin Zhuan, what's your military merit quota?"

"Mine is 200 million," Jin Zhuan said.

"That's not bad either."

"That's quite formidable."

Jin Zhuan's merit quota is only at the normal level for a Realm Lord General, while the 1 billion quota Xiao Yu mentioned is already the ceiling for a Realm Lord Warrior.

Generally, a regular Realm Lord Warrior has between 1 million and 10 million; an elite Realm Lord Warrior ranges from 10 million to 100 million; a Realm Lord General spans 100 million to 1 billion.

"A 1 billion merit quota, being granted by the Virtual Universe System, indicates that you possess strength not inferior to that of an ordinary Immortal Divine Spirit."

Killing a Seal King Initial yields 10 trillion merit; killing a Seal King High yields 100 trillion merit; killing a Seal King Peak yields 1,000 trillion merit.

As long as Xiao Yu kills ten Seal King Peak strongmen, the life‑and‑death trial is completed instantly.

This is a cleared area, and floating debris can be seen everywhere around the perimeter—some are corpse fragments, some are spacecraft wreckage, some are weapon remnants, and so on.

It's hard to say it's hard, and not hard to say it's easy.

Usually, alien strongmen who dare to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield are at least Realm Lord Level; killing a regular Realm Lord Warrior grants 100,000 merit, killing an elite Realm Lord grants 1 million merit, and killing a Realm Lord General grants 10 million merit.

Suddenly.

Killing an Immortal Military Lord of low rank rewards 100 million merit; killing a high‑rank Immortal Military Lord rewards 1 billion merit.

Xiao Yu could only grin; the Virtual Universe Company's life‑and‑death trial demands a merit quota of—10 quadrillion.

Only after completing 10 quadrillion merit can one leave the Outer Realm Battlefield and finish the life‑and‑death trial.

"Don't hold us back," Ka Mi snorted.

…

1 billion merit quota.

"Got it, Captain," Kuang Lang said, holding a bottle, smiling. "We veterans, even the youngest, have been on the Outer Realm Battlefield for over seven thousand years. Even when drunk, we stay vigilant; you two rookies need to be careful."

Killing an Immortal Lord Marquis Initial grants 10 billion merit; killing an Immortal Lord Marquis High grants 100 billion merit; killing an Immortal Lord Marquis Peak grants 10 trillion merit.

Of course, killing a Seal King Peak strongman is no easy task.

The spacecraft cautiously flew at sub‑light speed, steering clear of spots that might conceal strong beings.

The Disc-shaped Spacecraft flew through the dark cosmos for three days, then entered a space tunnel.

"Shi Kong, Jin Zhuan, just stay alert," Captain He Si said. "In this first battle, I don't expect perfect coordination; just provide timely support if any teammate is in danger."

"Be cautious, don't be careless," He Si reminded in the rest lounge, pointing to the empty void outside. "From this cleared zone to the destination we still have to fly for over a month; that whole month will be through dangerous territory, and combat could break out at any moment."

Is 10 quadrillion merit easy to complete?

The team members stared at Xiao Yu in shock, one by one.

"Alert! Alert! Under—" a harsh synthetic voice suddenly rang through the rest lounge, turning the laughing veterans' faces pale; almost simultaneously, each veteran swiftly drew their weapon.

Xiao Yu also unsheathed his weapon, the Chaos Blade, and the space around the saber rippled!

"Boom!"

The entire E9 Ji Yuzhou Feichuan disintegrated in an instant; only the rest lounge cabin remained relatively safe, tumbling like a kicked‑away soda can.

Captain He Si instantly unleashed a burst of Immortal Divine Power, enveloping the entire rest lounge cabin, and lowly commanded, "Quick, get out!"

The four cabin doors of the rest lounge opened simultaneously.

"Go!" Kuang Lang shouted low, his battle armor instantly extending to cover his whole body, leaving only his eyes exposed.

One by one, the veterans sprinted out through the doors, and Xiao Yu, wielding the Chaos Blade, followed.

"Everyone be careful," Captain He Si transmitted, and at the same time instantly folded the rest lounge into the World Ring.

"Where are the enemies?" Jin Zhuan's eyes flashed like lightning as he stood in the void, scanning all around.

"Don't panic! Just stay on guard!" the succubus giggled.

This is the downside of the Probe Instrument's limited function; although Xiao Yu has purchased a high‑grade Probe Instrument with a detection radius of 1 billion kilometers.

With his current strength—10,081‑fold genes, 100‑fold bodily vibration, equivalent to one million times a Realm Lord's ninth‑tier power—he rivals the might of a Seal King Limit Extreme Stronger. Moreover, he wears Venerable Divine Armor; even a Seal King invincible might not pierce its defense.

Even a Venerable Rank might not be able to kill him in an instant.

Besides, he also carries four vines equivalent to a Seal King Peak's thousand‑vine star‑eating plant, and a 360‑vine Mo‑cloud vine comparable to a Seal King High.

"Little Mo," Xiao Yu called in his mind, and the Mo‑cloud vine instantly enveloped him.

He uses the Mo‑cloud vine to conceal his Venerable Divine Armor, a treasure comparable to an Ultimate Treasure.

"Mo‑cloud armor!" Captain He Si exclaimed, "And it's Immortal Level!"

He Si, being an Immortal Divine Spirit, can tell that the Mo‑cloud vine has already advanced to Immortal Level, but while it contracts its aura and hasn't assumed a combat form, its exact strength remains unknown.

Even just 108 vines would equal 108 Immortals.

"Shi Kong is still a billionaire!"

The team members shouted in surprise.

"Hehe!" Xiao Yu smiled faintly, staying alert to the surroundings.

"Since the opponent hasn't manifested, let's go," He Si surged forward.

The other nine members also followed the captain, swiftly cutting through the void and fleeing outward.

Suddenly, nine points in the Cosmic Starry Sky—corresponding to front, back, left, right, up, down and other directions around Xiao Yu's group—simultaneously emitted dazzling bolts of electricity that instantly pierced the void.

The electric flashes from the nine points quickly linked together, forming a massive thunder‑electric cage.

Enveloping Xiao Yu and the nine others within.

The moment the thunder cage formed, countless electric serpents shot through the void, filling the cage—spanning billions of kilometers in diameter—with innumerable electric snakes.

Thunder Prison!

It's Thunder Prison!

The veteran soldiers, however, transmitted a shocked cry.

"This is the Mechanical Race's method, and moreover a strong one of the Mechanical Race. Big trouble." He Si shouted via voice transmission.

With Xiao Yu's eyesight, one could naturally see that this thunder prison, capable of spreading with a diameter of up to hundreds of millions of kilometers, to set up successfully would likely require millions of Mixed Yuan Units; for the Mechanical Race, the cost would be somewhat lower, but still over one hundred thousand Mixed Yuan Units.

This is definitely not something an ordinary Mechanical Race Realm Lord could set up; it must be an Immortal-level Mechanical Race.

Boom—!

From the nine base points of the Thunder Prison, suddenly burst forth countless points of light; these countless points of light, from nine directions, rapidly closed in to besiege Xiao Yu and the others.

"They are Mechanical Puppets." Xiao Yu saw at a glance.

"They are Lightning Mechanical Puppets." He Si said solemnly, "The 'Thunder Prison' combined with the 'Lightning Mechanical Puppet Legion' is a relatively common combination among the Mechanical Race, and also a very terrifying one. Normally, someone capable of such a grand undertaking would be the Mechanical Race's Immortal Divine Spirit."

Everyone, listen to my orders.

Follow me, break through at the fastest speed; we need to rush out of the Thunder Prison as soon as possible." He Si ordered.

Yes.

Xiao Yu and the others obeyed, instantly bursting out at astonishing speed.
