Chapter 172

Even through training in various Secret Realms and forbidden zones,

seeking heroes and recruiting heroes,

no one had obtained a Shi Shi hero.

Legendary heroes are already the upper limit for the vast majority of lords across the Myriad Worlds.

The five great human civilizations have also prepared gifts for these twenty-three outstanding lords.

However, as new-generation lords, they can only trade with others of their own generation.

They also cannot offer anything too precious.

These are resources accumulated by countless new-generation lords under their command.

Of course, if something cannot be brought into the Myriad Worlds battlefield,

it can be traded freely.

For example, a property in Wan Jie Cheng.

"Su Yu, awarded one property in the Tianyun District of Wan Jie Cheng."

Su Yu has been awarded a property in the Heavenly Fortune District of Wan Jie Cheng.

the managing official announced the news,

and a pile of green-eyed gazes stared straight at Su Yu.

"Property in Wan Jie Cheng... and in the Tianyun District."

"My lord, properties in Wan Jie Cheng usually aren't in the Tianyun District, are they?"

"A legendary hero truly can defy heaven and change fate..."

"I haven't recruited my second hero yet."

"I originally planned to wait until I found a Rare Grade Hero Recruitment Card to recruit a Rare Grade hero directly."

"Might as well just use the 【Hero Recruitment Order】 to recruit now."

"What if? What if I also obtain a legendary hero?"

Everyone rubbed their fists, ambition rising in their hearts.

The fact that Su Yu possessed a legendary hero

had already passed two or three months ago,

and everyone had accepted it, gradually feeling it was just so-so.

But now, attending the opening ceremony of the selection competition for all human civilizations,

learning that the entire human race has only twenty-three new-generation lords who possess legendary heroes,

plus the special treatment Su Yu received,

made them fully realize that Su Yu, who seemed within reach, was gradually becoming somewhat unattainable.

No wonder, no wonder the Lanxinglian Alliance's ruler treated him so well,

and the Princess also associated with him.

At the same time, many people's hearts grew excited.

As representatives of Lanxing, marching out for the human selection competition, they had temporarily formed the Lanxinglian Alliance.

Su Yu is also a member of the Lanxinglian Alliance!

In the future, when Su Yu takes off, won't their status rise with the tide?

In the future, once Su Yu takes off, won't their own status rise with him?

A tall man with a hooked nose and sunken eyes bowed his head before Su Yu to apologize.

His face was filled with guilt.

Su Yu paused for a moment, recalled carefully, and then remembered who this fellow was.

In the Lanxing Federation, an American named Jason,

he had long forgotten him,

for since entering the Myriad Worlds battlefield, his gaze had long ceased to be limited to Lanxing.

"It's fine. My initial refusal of the ruler's gift has nothing to do with you."

Su Yu said casually.

Immediately, Jason was so moved he wept with gratitude.

Days of anxiety were completely put to rest in this moment.

At this time, the manager of this area stepped forward,

"Lanxing's Su Yu, please choose the items you need."

As he spoke, he opened a terminal and projected a screen.

On the screen were a dazzling array of items, props, and materials,

as well as weapons and equipment.

All were at least Rare Grade to start with.

This was support from the five great civilizations of the main universe for the twenty-three owners of legendary heroes.

Su Yu glanced casually; the more precious blueprints and such had already been selected.

The Rare Grade Hero Recruitment Cards had also been selected.

Good heavens, exactly the twenty-two most valuable items had all been taken.

It seems this was deliberately left for him to choose last.

Recalling the fleeting coldness in the eyes of the white-haired elder earlier, Su Yu understood what was going on.

Recalling the fleeting coldness in the eyes of the old man with crane-white hair, Su Yu understood what had happened.

He shook his head and let it go.

It's free anyway—why not take it?

He didn't care whether the items were good or bad.

But while he didn't mind, the others couldn't stand it.

Now, everyone in the Lanxinglian Alliance had changed their attitude, all waiting for Su Yu to lead them.

Su Yu's interests were naturally their interests.

"All the good stuff's been picked already…"

"Were we deliberately saved for last?"

"That's just too much."

"Besides, Su Yu doesn't just have a Legendary Hero—he also has an Epic bow."

"How could he possibly be last?"

A murmur spread through the Lanxinglian Alliance, everyone voicing their discontent.

"Quiet."

The monarch glared at them.

The crowd's voices immediately dropped, but their resentful glares still screamed their dissatisfaction.

"It's fine."

Su Yu smiled—he had already chosen something.

As a Lanxing person, this shared fate stirred a touch of nostalgia in him.

"One ton of Energy Crystals, a rare material—are you sure you want it?"

The clerk stared at Su Yu in confusion.

Choosing materials is worse than picking gear.

"Mm."

Su Yu nodded.

Energy Crystals can gather and compress energy.

They're essential for crafting Rare-tier defense towers and Energy Cannons!

Su Yu had already gathered all other materials—only the Energy Crystals were missing.

Since he'd found them, he couldn't let the chance slip.

"Alright."

The clerk waved his hand, assigning a newly appointed lord from one of the Five Civilizations to begin the transaction with Su Yu.

The lord's terminal connected; Su Yu's lord crystal storage space gained one ton of Energy Crystals.
