Chapter 1223 - 1223 I’m Not Here to Be a Deserter
Thank you readers!
As soon as the profile picture opened his mouth, the loud voice immediately spread around and attracted everyone’s attention.
Looking up and seeing the profile on the huge virtual screen, before the participants from other countries could react, the group of descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire suddenly cheered.
“Oh! Oh my god! It’s actually Prince Lekas!”
“It’s really Prince Lekas! Is he here too?”
!!
“Oh, I must be dreaming! So Prince Lekas has been paying attention to us. This is simply too exciting!”
…
From their faint exclamations, Chu Nan finally knew that the figure represented by this huge profile should be a prince of the royal family of the Declan Empire. Moreover, he seemed to be very popular.
“However, I have to warn you next that this is only the beginning.” The voice on the virtual screen sounded again, “The first stage of the test is only to eliminate those trash among you first. In fact, it’s only a game. The true test for you is actually the second stage. Only true experts who can pass the second stage are qualified to finally stand in front of His Majesty and accept his reward. However, I have to tell you in advance that the second stage is far more difficult and cruel than the first stage. If you’re not prepared to lose your life at any time, it’s best to give up now! Alright, I’m done talking. Take care.”
After saying the last sentence, the scene on the virtual screen flashed. Prince Lekas’s huge profile indeed disappeared, and the virtual screen returned to darkness.
Everyone looked at each other. Even the descendants of the royal family were dumbfounded.
It was not easy for Prince Lekas to appear. He just wanted to say this and scare them?
Chu Nan could not help but laugh.
This Prince was really interesting. Wasn’t it natural for him to say that the second stage was even more difficult and cruel than the first stage?
If it was not more difficult, why set up two stages?
However, what he said made sense. Compared to the cruel elimination, the first stage of the Academy Hunting Assembly was actually more like a game. It only allowed all the participants to recognize the level of their strength through their previous battles.
In a battle that would more or less threaten their lives, not many participants had the ability to preserve their strength. After clearly recognizing the huge difference in strength, naturally, no one would have any thoughts of being lucky and arrogant.
Although the withdrawal of Princess Viennelle and Prince Vigzano was an exception, it was probably not an absolute minority.
However, Chu Nan still could not understand why these words were spoken by this prince who clearly had a very high status. Could it be that if he did not say this, the participating people would not understand this logic?
Just as he was thinking about this, Chu Nan suddenly saw two figures flying over from the corner of his eye.
Soon, the two of them flew close. Chu Nan focused his gaze and still discovered that these two people were Prince Montique and Pamela, whom he had been looking for for a long time.
Compared to when the two of them left previously, there was an obvious change. Now, Pamela had actually woken up and could fly alone freely.
Seeing her like this, Chu Nan understood.
It seemed that Pamela could successfully wake up and return to normal. Chu Nan was happy. When he recalled his agreement with Prince Montique, he did not rashly go up. He only watched the two of them fly over and land in the group of descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire.
Pamela, who landed with him, ignored everyone. After landing, she looked around as if looking for something.
With Chu Nan’s only thought, a weak spatial energy fluctuation reached out to Pamela below.
The characteristics of this spatial fluctuation were taken from the Storm Sword Dance Divine Technique. As soon as it reached the surroundings of Pamela’s body, she instantly sensed it and immediately turned to look at the sky, meeting Chu Nan’s gaze.
Chu Nan smiled at her and shook his head before flying elsewhere.
Pamela had already heard Prince Montique’s explanation and naturally understood Chu Nan’s intentions. A smile flashed across her face before she returned to her wooden and silent expression and put on an unapproachable appearance.
Chu Nan did not fly far before he chose a small group of three and landed.
Suddenly sensing that someone had landed beside them, the three of them were shocked. After turning around and discovering that it was Chu Nan, the three of them revealed happy expressions.
“It’s you, Chu Nan! We were just saying that you shouldn’t have been eliminated!” One of the tall youths with the characteristics of a standard Earth European laughed and stretched out his hand to pat Chu Nan’s shoulder extremely enthusiastically.
The other two also revealed warm smiles. One of them, a dark-skinned youth with obvious black skin and facial characteristics of an African-American on Earth, revealed an honest smile. However, he only nodded at Chu Nan and said, “Hello, Chu Nan. My name is Pinto. I’m very happy to see you.”
“I’m Nowell. I was recommended by Marshal Chemekov.” The last young man was slightly thinner than the first two, but he looked more energetic. Moreover, he stood there with a straight body, and his every move revealed an extremely powerful military aura, “Before the Marshal left, he instructed me to greet you on his behalf if I see you. I just didn’t expect that I wouldn’t have the chance to see you for the first time.”
“Oh? Is that so? The Marshal actually still remembers me. This is really an honor.” Chu Nan laughed and his gaze swept past the three of them, but he revealed a regretful expression and sighed, “Are there only the three of you left?”
The three of them looked at each other and their expressions dimmed at the same time.
“There should be only the three of us left and you.” The European youth shrugged and stretched out his hand to Chu Nan, “Heh, I’m Henrik. Hello, Chu Nan. I’ve long known you. Or rather, all the martial artists of our Earth Federation know you.”
Chu Nan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his.
Due to the few things that had happened previously, Chu Nan could at least be considered a famous figure in the regional federation, especially in the martial arts circle of the Earth Federation. Therefore, it was not strange for the three of them to know him.
After Henrik shook Chu Nan’s hand, he shrugged and continued, “To be honest, our results this time are already the best in the history of the Earth Federation to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly. If the four of us can obtain the reward through the second stage, we’ll definitely become heroes in the history of the federation! Heh, guys, don’t you think this is very cool and exciting?”
In the end, this guy actually revealed an excited expression.
Seeing him like this, Chu Nan could not help but laugh.
The three people in front of him were the remaining three participants of the Earth Federation who were participating in the Garden Hunting Assembly other than him.
In fact, Chu Nan had long checked this in Lone Star City more than ten days ago. At that time, only the three of them and Chu Nan were left among the participants of the Earth Federation. He did not expect that after the first stage ended, the three of them would actually survive.
From this point alone, these three people’s strengths clearly could not be underestimated. Otherwise, they would not have survived such a situation.
“In that case, you’re sure you want to participate in the second stage?” Chu Nan smiled and asked Henrik.
“Of course.” Henrik waved his fists forcefully. He looked energetic and gave people a positive and healthy feeling like his appearance, “I didn’t come this time to be a deserter!”
“What about the two of you?” Chu Nan turned to ask Pinto and Nowell.
“Of course, I have to participate.” Nowell nodded without any hesitation, “I’m a soldier. The order I received was that I had to pass the Garden Hunting Assembly and obtain the reward.”
Pinto hesitated and did not answer Chu Nan’s question.
Seeing him like this, Henrik frowned and said in dissatisfaction, “Heh, Pinto, are you afraid? Don’t tell me you came all the way here to be a deserter.”
Pinto’s expression was a little awkward. He hesitated and was about to speak when a huge voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
“Last ten seconds of the first stage, ten…”
Everyone looked up and saw an equally huge number displayed on the huge virtual screen in the sky.
In the next moment, this number changed.
“Nine—”
