Chapter 155: Let’s Be Flamboyant for Once
After surveying most of the surrounding area through the worker bees' perspective, Xu Luo pondered.
This was an extremely powerful world.
Just in this nearby area, he had discovered two Gold-tier existences and seven or eight types of creatures.
This meant it was a place rich in resources.
More importantly, the dense concentration of Gold-tier beings indicated that Gold-tiers were not rare in this world.
Moreover, with numerous intelligent creatures, they had likely formed their own civilization.
Such a powerful world with its own civilization could potentially evolve into an empire or a religious sect.
This was Tianhai University's private plane, possibly the private property of a high-ranking official, and the creatures here might be their believers.
This wasn't baseless speculation, nor was it unrelated to combat.
If this were true, Gold-tier creatures blessed by Gods, or even divine avatars descending, that combat power...
However, for now, Xu Luo didn't intend to cause trouble for the strongest force in this plane.
He just wanted to casually get some points to advance.
After all, with his strength, as long as he advanced, his ranking didn't matter.
Thinking this, after the worker bees returned, he set out.
Too lazy to walk himself, he directly had an Earth Dragon Zerg burst out of the ground, and he stood on its back.
Riding a Leviathan transformed into a flying dragon would be cooler, but it would be too eye-catching.
Just as Xu Luo's legion was slowly advancing, he suddenly saw a small bird fly in front of him.
"Sound positioning?" Xu Luo frowned upon seeing this little bird.
This was one of the witch's techniques.
Witch, mage, warlock - many people often confused these three professions, but in fact, they were completely different.
Although they were all spell casters, they were fundamentally different.
Just like mages and clerics.
Mages should actually be called elemental mages, borrowing the power of elements.
Warlocks, on the other hand, were usually descendants of powerful creatures, their power coming from their bloodline.
The original Demi-Gods referred to warlocks. At that time, Demi-God wasn't a power level.
The so-called Demi-Gods referred to those with half divine bloodline, children of Gods.
Later, it became those close to godhood.
Children of Gods, possessing half of a God's bloodline, were naturally the most powerful warlocks, born with strong power.
However, warlocks would become weaker generation by generation. Even with bloodline atavism, they couldn't surpass their bloodline source.
Witches, like arcane masters, studied the mysteries of heaven and earth.
However, arcane masters decoded the secrets of the world, while witches discovered the effects of various potions, excelling in potion-making and various strange spells.
As for clerics, it was simple. As agents of Gods, clerics' power came from the Gods.
These were the differences between these professions.
To be honest, seeing the witch's technique, Xu Luo didn't want to provoke them.
Because witches' methods were very bizarre, even two witches' methods could be different. Unlike mages, who had a systematic advancement route.
Sound positioning could be said to be a witch's specialty.
Sound positioning was using a prepared mark to find targets. As long as the target triggered the preset conditions, the technique would activate.
The triggering method for each sound positioning was different, making it unpredictable.
Moreover, you didn't know what technique they left behind. It wasn't necessarily just positioning your location.
However, Xu Luo didn't know that this time, the triggering method was sound.
As a result, he subconsciously spoke, directly triggering the technique.
Dense fog directly enveloped him.
The fairy butterflies around him suddenly became uneasy.
But the Earth Dragon Zerg below was unaffected.
Outside, those who were originally expecting to see Xu Luo's performance became dissatisfied.
How come there was no movement? When it happened to others, as soon as the fog appeared, they started fighting. Why was there no movement at all with Xu Luo? Could there be different treatment?
"Hmph!" Xu Luo snorted coldly.
"Sound positioning, directly connected to void transmission, linking to your own species. You think you've got me figured out just like that?"
The fairy butterflies around Xu Luo were suddenly pushed out of the fog by a great force.
Xu Luo himself also transformed into a mass of fog.
On the surface, it looked like a mass of fog, white and misty, nothing could be seen clearly.
Only the audience outside could clearly see that these were two distinct types of fog, existing in the same place but not merging.
On the surface, the fog seemed to have no change.
But underneath, an intense confrontation was taking place.
After a moment, the fog dissipated.
Xu Luo's figure reappeared in the original spot.
"You're the first person to break my spell!" Ming Luo's voice came through, but her figure couldn't be seen.
"Your fog spirit is not bad either." Xu Luo spoke calmly, commanding the Zerg to continue on their way.
Ming Luo's avatar was nowhere to be seen. After she actively retreated, he couldn't find her. There was no point in staying any longer.
He was a bit annoyed. He should have brought some fire butterflies. That way, he could have forced back the opponent's fog with fire, or he should have known wind spells to disperse the fog.
Although he had the upper hand just now, it was always annoying when the initiative was in someone else's hands.
"No matter how powerful the fog spirit is, it's no match for a mirage! So, see you next time!" The girl's voice sounded, and the previous little bird dissolved into golden particles.
Xu Luo continued on his way silently.
Far away, Ming Luo, sitting in a carriage, couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's the matter?" The princess from the Auria Empire sitting opposite her couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing." Although the other party had told her name, Ming Luo wasn't interested in remembering such a long string of names. She had merely used magic to influence the other's perception of herself. Once this competition was over, she would leave, and everything here would have nothing to do with her.
Through previous conversations, Ming Luo had learned that in this world, there were many powerful races, among which the strongest human force was the Auria Empire.
Originally, this was a peaceful and tranquil world, but with the arrival of demons, everything was destroyed.
This princess had come out to unite all forces that could be united. Otherwise, if the demons continued to destroy like this, the entire world would be ruined.
"By the way, how many demons did you mention earlier? How strong are their forces?" Thinking of what she knew, that someone had started as a demon, Ming Luo felt she shouldn't be too careless.
Although that girl's strength wasn't great, if this world's demons were too powerful, it might really allow her to turn the tables.
"Among those demons, there are more than a dozen Gold-tier great demons, very powerful! There are also many demons and imps accompanying them. Especially since they've opened a passage to the inferno, there will be endless imps coming out from there. The power of the inferno is constantly eroding our world. We must drive the demons out!"
The princess became excited.
"The great God Luyang has fallen into slumber and hasn't responded to our requests for many years. Otherwise, the priests wouldn't be so powerless when facing demons!"
"Luyang?" Hearing this name, Ming Luo's expression became peculiar.
She seemed to smell a script.
Not responding to one's believers, the entire world facing the danger of destruction, and then at the last moment, the God awakens and saves the world. This feeling was so familiar.
It seemed to be a common tactic used by many Gods.
To increase the faith level of believers, first let them experience hardships, then come out to save them at the end. This way, they could obtain high-quality believers.
After all, at the level of Gods, it wasn't about having more believers. They needed more devout believers, especially fanatics and saint-level believers were particularly important.
It was also a way to tell believers that the world was dangerous, and only in the Divine Kingdom was there happiness and peace.
Luyang was actually the vice principal of Tianhai University, a True God-level existence.
However, Ming Luo didn't have any thoughts about it. This wasn't a real world, it was just like a projection. Whatever they did wouldn't affect the plane world in reality.
But the Auria Empire was the most powerful human nation in this plane world. Ming Luo felt she could make good use of it.
Although their priests' power had declined due to long periods without response from their God, it was still an empire with certain foundations. They had several Gold-tier imperial swordsmen and even a dragon rider!
This was absolutely a very powerful existence.
When she first heard this, Ming Luo even wanted to directly request this being to sweep away others.
But thinking that her witchcraft couldn't affect such an existence, she had to give up this idea.
Among the more than 400 students, excluding those who had been forced to withdraw, the remaining ones had started to take action.
Some joined the ranks of local forces, while others, ignoring everything else, directly became cold-blooded killers, killing everything they saw.
However, among these people, Ming Luo wasn't the one developing the most smoothly, being with a princess.
Liu Xiaobei could be called the chosen one this round.
She directly merged with the demons.
Moreover, she discovered that these demons actually had more than a dozen great demons, with the most powerful demon leader having Gold Tier 9 strength.
It was even a lord-level demon!
With such strength, couldn't they easily sweep away the competition?
Liu Xiaobei also started to use her eloquence, fooling these muscle-headed, simple-minded brutes.
To be honest, demons weren't stupid. On the contrary, they were very smart. It's just that they had been fighting all the time, without so many twists and turns, and hadn't thought that their own kind would deceive them.
In the demon world, if you didn't like someone, you'd just kill them directly. There weren't so many complications.
So when they knew that strong reinforcements had come to eliminate them, they all believed it.
They also felt that there were indeed many strange auras added to this world.
That being said, they decided to directly take up arms and knock everyone down.
Turn this world into a demon paradise, letting the aura of the inferno gradually transform this place.
Come to think of it, without the smell of sulfur here, it really felt uncomfortable. They missed it.
***
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A series of arrows shot out. A few of Xu Luo's fairy butterflies couldn't dodge in time and were shot dead on the spot.
Xu Luo's face looked very unpleasant.
Why was it so difficult to hide some strength?
At first, he was tricked by Ming Luo, and now he was attacked again. Were they treating him like a pushover?
Thinking of this, Xu Luo decided not to hide anymore and directly lay his cards on the table.
Facing a group of high school students, what was there to hide?
Just lay it all out. I am indeed very powerful!
One by one, figures burst out from underground, then quickly rushed towards the figures that were continuously changing positions and shooting in the distance.
Among living beings, people most often talked about elven archery.
But in fact, one race was severely underestimated.
That was the centaur race.
They were also members of the jungle, with very exquisite archery skills, no less than elves. More importantly, they ran extremely fast. They were particularly formidable at mobile shooting, especially during guerrilla warfare.
However, this time they met their match.
In front of the Zerg, their high mobility became a joke.
The Mantis Zerg's speed was extremely fast. They directly flew at low altitude, pounced on the centaurs, and resolved them swiftly and cleanly.
This time there were no Mayflies accompanying the army, so the Zerg's food was resolved on the spot.
Although it was virtual, the Zerg still needed to eat to replenish their consumption after action and combat.
Their enemies were ready-made food.
After throwing away his concerns, Xu Luo directly commanded the Zerg to advance in full force, eliminating all creatures they saw, whether native or foreign, sparing none.
Did he need to ally with local forces?
Not at all.
If he wanted to, he could directly conquer this plane world by himself.
Were those dozens of starships in outer space a joke?
Under a round of Stam Ray Worm beam strikes, part of this world would be wasted.
There were still hundreds of Gold-tiers up there!
However, exposing the forces currently at hand was enough. It wouldn't be good to expose all his forces.
Some people who were previously questioning what Xu Luo was doing, wondering if he was going to fake the competition, saw him suddenly take action and became excited.
These people had probably bet on Xu Luo.
Only these people would care so much about whether Xu Luo had any achievements.
Otherwise, others wouldn't be like this, because they all knew Xu Luo's strength. His advancement was secure, so why worry about his lack of performance now?
In any case, as the current number one, too many people were paying attention to Xu Luo. His previous inaction had made many people anxious. Now, directly using his dominant performance to shatter those doubting voices would certainly make his supporters feel very excited.
As long as he took action, it indicated that he had started to make moves.
More people believed that his previous inaction was just to observe the situation and collect intelligence.
Now that he had started to act, it naturally meant that he had grasped some things and had confidence.
