Chapter 577: Gathering Outside the Camp (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Wu Shuang adhered to the original philosophy, striving to maintain balance in the addition of new ultimate fighters.
This led to the academic faction also gaining seven ultimate fighters.
These include Xiao Xiao Long, Qin Ming Yong, Yin Fang Long, Cai Shu Ying, Li Hong Wei, and others.
All of them had reached the threshold level of strength early on and had become ultimate fighters.
Logically, given the relationships of Huo Li Juan, Qu Xiao Xiao, Liu Si Yu with Zhao Yu, they should have been prioritized more.
However, under Ji Wu Shuang’s arrangement, they indeed became threshold-level enhancers but missed out on becoming an ultimate fighters.
With Xiao Xiao Long’s recommendation, Sun Jing successfully advanced to the threshold level, matching Huo Li Juan in strength but slightly less in status.
The main reason was Zhao Yu.
Most of the newly promoted ultimate fighters relied on the King-level Beast that Zhao Yu had brought in.
Correspondingly, this naturally elevated Zhao Yu’s status significantly, earning him great respect despite being away for dozens of days.
However, for Sun Jing, this was enough.
At least, she no longer had to hold back in front of Huo Li Juan as before.
With Xiao Xia Long could occasionally reached in their territory, while Zhao Yu was far away. The situation was giving Sun Jing more confidence to confront Huo Li Juan.
As for Li Hong Wei, who had only recently advanced to an ultimate fighter, Sun Jing naturally considered him inferior to Xiao Xiao Long as Li Hong Wei did not know any combat technique.
The only regret for Sun Jing was that she and Xiao Xiao Long were not actually a couple.
No matter how hard she tried in the past few days, Xiao Xiao Long was acted like a rock, impervious to her efforts.
At first, she wondered if Xiao Xiao Long was after Pan Yi Ting.
After some probing, she found that Xiao Xiao Long had long moved on from her.
This left Sun Jing baffled, unable to understand why Xiao Xiao Long was all sudden uninterested in women.
She even wondered if Xiao Xiao Long’s sexual orientation had changed…
“Sun Jing, is this fish soup? Why didn’t you make your specialty mushroom soup?!”
As Sun Jing was carrying a bowl of fish soup towards Xiao Xiao Long, Huo Li Juan couldn’t help but tease.
“Even if I made mushroom soup, you wouldn’t get any!”
It seemed they both hadn’t forgotten about the mushroom soup from over ten days ago.
Since that day, Sun Jing had never made mushroom soup again.
“Hmph!”
Both snorted coldly and turned to leave.
One group gathered around Li Hong Wei, and another around Xiao Xiao Long.
With seven ultimate fighters among the academic faction, they naturally joined the core circle and became privy to many operational plans.
After the seven had returned from the meeting, Huo Li Juan and the others were eager to learn about the situation.
“Brother Wei, you didn’t go out today, what happened?!”
Wang Zi Jun, who was also lucky enough to become a threshold-level enhancer and was in a good mood, took the lead to ask.
Li Hong Wei hesitated for a moment, thinking that it wouldn’t be long before Ji Wu Shuang would announce the matter, “We might be moving…”
“Ah?!”
Everyone was surprised. Many had already adapted to this way of life.
In terms of safety, it was definitely much safer than in the newbie zone.
In the newbie zone, there were beast tides attacking every night, each wave stronger than the last.
Here, the various types of monsters stayed in their territories. As long as you didn’t disturb them or trespass into their territories, there was almost no danger.
The only danger occurred during hunting, but with an increasing number of ultimate fighters and the threshold-level enhancers’ protection, the casualty rate could generally be avoided.
Even many believed that accumulating slowly here and allowing everyone to become ultimate fighters as a good option.
“This…”
“Everyone, quiet down!”
Just as a few were about to speak, Ji Wu Shuang’s voice came from the other side.
Immediately, everyone consciously gathered together.
Through these days of interaction, Ji Wu Shuang’s status as the leader had become almost unshakeable, and her authority increasingly strong.
Once two thousand people had gathered, Ji Wu Shuang announced:
“Everyone pack up, take everything that can be used, and prepare to relocate…”
“You have one hour…”
“What?!”
“Why are we relocating?!”
“Wait, it just became my turn, why relocate now? At least wait until I’ve advanced to the threshold level!”
The crowd was greatly puzzled.
Especially those with no ambition for strength and unwilling to take risks were strongly opposed.
Ji Wu Shuang was slightly surprised by the opposition and decided to reveal the truth after a moment’s contemplation.
“There’s a rule at the first-tier camp, failure to move to the second-tier camp within a year results in elimination!”
“As for the camp situation, as you all know, it’s occupied by a group of people, and we can only stay in this inner circle…”
“With changes occurring there, it’s a good opportunity to enter the camp. Only by entering can we understand the situation in the first-tier area and plan to move to the second-tier area…”
As her words ended, the crowd began to buzz with discussion again.
After a while, someone spoke up.
“If the camp is full of first-tier fighters and most of us are not even at the threshold level, ain’t we going to die in their hand?!”
