Chapter 780: Chapter 238: The Long Way Around to Becoming a Golden King
[Pinned Post][In-depth Analysis]Final Hypothesis on the Hunting Mechanism of the ’Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride!
[Attention! After decades of observation and data analysis, I have essentially confirmed: The primary criterion the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride use to hunt us Human Race Martial Artists is our ’real-time ranking’ and ’latent potential’!
In other words, if you yourself possess the terrifying potential to break into the top ten, then even if your current rank is in the seventies or eighties, or even the high nineties, the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride will most likely ’spare’ you for the time being.
They will act like experienced Hunters, waiting patiently until a battle causes your rank to soar into the top ten of the Combat Power rankings, and only then will they launch their fatal hunt!]
[According to an extremely reliable piece of intelligence, combined with my own bold speculation: The points the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride receive for hunting one of our top-ten experts on the Combat Power rankings are completely different from what they get for hunting a ’small fry’ in the eighties or nineties!
It seems they also need a massive amount of points to buy their own lives from the referee, ’Nine Spirits King’!]
[Attention! Multiple cases have confirmed that the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride can use Subspace Teleportation without any restrictions!
Its teleportation range covers our entire battle zone!
Do not count on getting lucky!]
[Attention! Based on currently available intelligence, it seems the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride can only see the precise coordinates of Martial Artists ranked in the top one thousand on the Combat Power rankings!
In other words, if you aren’t in the top one thousand, you basically don’t have to worry about being hunted by them—unless you’re so unlucky you run right into one!]
The author of this well-reasoned and logically clear post was the former leader of a disbanded Star System Alliance, a man named "Nine Yuan."
It was said that this expert, [Nine Yuan], hailed from the "Son of the Emperor" Warband and was himself an incredibly formidable prodigy.
However, there were few records of him ever taking action.
Of course, beneath this post was an overwhelming deluge of all kinds of insults and curses.
Evidently, this expert named "Nine Yuan" had also betrayed his own alliance.
Posts like this, discussing the "Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride," were not uncommon on the forums.
Among all the Martial Artists still surviving in the entire battle zone, the consensus regarding the "Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride" was surprisingly unanimous.
Namely, that at this point in time, the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride were beings that could absolutely not be opposed!
Anyone who faced the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride met the same fate: instant death!
In everyone’s current view, the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride were a group of invincible, terrifying "pursuers," personally unleashed by the tournament organizers to increase the difficulty and elimination rate.
"Heh, a bunch of idiots."
Having finished reading through the chaos on the forums, the corners of Qin Feng’s mouth curled into a disdainful sneer.
’In fact, while the individual value of a Machine Soul Core from the Mechanical Race can’t compare to those star-system-level Resource Points, if you have enough of them, they add up. The total resources they provide wouldn’t be much less than what you’d get from a star-system-level Resource Point.’
’It’s just that hunting them requires more time and energy. It’s not as efficient, that’s all.’
’A path like ours—first, systematically using the Machine Soul Cores of the Mechanical Race to rapidly raise one’s own cultivation until strong enough to contend with the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride, and only then calmly seizing those star-system-level Resource Points—that is the safest and most correct way to play in the current ’version’ of this game.’
’In this battle zone, the fastest way is to take the long road!’
Qin Feng smiled, then slowly closed his eyes.
Scenes began to play in his mind like a movie, replaying every single detail of the thirty years he had been relentlessly hunted by Yan Sheng of the Holy Spirit Fire Clan.
Yan Sheng’s every movement, every attack, even the subtlest fluctuations in every wisp of his golden Mental Power... all of it surfaced in his mind with perfect clarity.
Soon, after countless precise simulations and calculations, Qin Feng arrived at a conclusion that left him feeling somewhat helpless.
’Based on my current strength, if I were to face Yan Sheng again, my chances of winning... would still be zero.’
’The gap in our strength is just too great.’
’After all, he’s a true ’Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride,’ not some common lackey.’
’Looks like I still have to play it safe and not get reckless.’
’I’ll stick to the original plan for now and kill some more high-level members of the Mechanical Race for the alliance. I’ll just treat it as stockpiling some extra resources for myself.’
’If I can completely temper the first hundred floors of the [Immortal Tower] until they are the color of Gold, I should be able to guarantee that I won’t be killed so easily by Yan Sheng again.’
’Though, at that point, I’d probably still be hunted by him relentlessly, like he’s stuck to me like glue. Once I’m on his radar, I won’t be able to seize resources in peace anymore.’
’If I can temper five hundred floors of the tower to the color of Gold, then I can reach a true ’fifty-fifty’ split with Yan Sheng. By then, I should be able to escape his pursuit with ease. And if my Slaughter Realm is a bit higher, I might even have a chance to slay him!’
’And if I can temper all nine hundred ninety-nine floors of this [Immortal Tower] until they are the color of Gold... I’ll be able to advance to the level of a true ’Star-System-Grade’ expert! At that point, I should be able to slay a member of the Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Pride like Yan Sheng with a casual wave of my hand.’
’Judging from my memories, Yan Sheng’s strength back then was at a level equivalent to having tempered around five hundred floors of his tower to a golden color.’
’However, the slaughter techniques he has mastered are a bit stronger than mine.’
Qin Feng made a relatively objective judgment in his heart.
’However, this is all based on calculations using Yan Sheng’s strength from all those years ago.’
’Over a hundred years have passed since then. That guy’s strength has probably grown even stronger.’
