It turns out that the fortress selects talents through family competitions. I wonder if the captain has also participated in the competition. He is so lazy that he doesn't look like someone who has such experience. But Chief of Staff Ling is very murderous. Just looking at him makes him feel uncomfortable.
Tianyang gathered his thoughts and raised his head: "If we are selecting talents, then the experience in the adversity world will be enough for us, right?"
"no the same."
Yunze said calmly: "In the Reverse Realm, the only threats we face are the Dark People, but in the competition, we have to withstand the test of our own kind. And in a way, we humans are sometimes more dangerous than the Dark People."
"Of course, the fortress will not only look at the performance in the competition. But the outstanding performance in the competition is definitely an important reference. Therefore, the senior leaders of the fortress are basically people who have participated in the competition and have performed well in the adversity. These people are the elite backbone of the fortress, and it is they who support the behemoth of the fortress."
"You haven't reached that point yet, so you find it hard to understand. When you know that our enemies come not only from the adverse world, but also from outside the fortress, then you will understand why the fortress condones such things."
Tian Yang couldn't help but stop. The enemies from outside the fortress were the gods? Or other fortresses, like Black Star Fortress
Suddenly the boy realized that the family competition was just a touchstone. Through the competition and combined with the performance in the adversity, the fortress selected elites who could deal with similar threats, thus ensuring that the fortress could take root and grow in this land.
Survival of the fittest. Species that can survive in competition are destined to be incompatible with gentleness. That is why the Fortress tacitly allows the Ascenders to kill each other during the competition.
The purpose is to discover those iron-blooded warriors who can survive the cruel competition, face similar threats in the future, and destroy their opponents without hesitation!
"arrive."
Yunze's words brought the young man back to his senses. Tianyang looked forward and found that he and his companions had already walked out of the base passage.
There was an open space in front of them, with the ground paved with steel armor extending forward. The vast space was so wide that it was difficult to take in the visual field. It was like a large square in the upper city of a fortress!
A number of high-power lighting devices were installed above the square. The bright lights made the place as bright as day. Even the ubiquitous black fog seemed to have become much thinner.
At the end of the square, there is a dome building. Judging from the distribution of windows, it seems to be divided into two floors.
There is a sky bridge on each side of the square, rising from the ground, throwing out a graceful arc, connecting the second-floor platform of the dome building.
This allows people to enter the building directly from the ground or from the sky bridge. And judging by the width of the sky bridges and the smooth transition from the ground to the upper level without steps, the two sky bridges can also support vehicle traffic.
In fact, there were indeed fortress base vehicles moving in groups of three or four on the overpass.
But more people, like Yunze and his companions, walked towards the first floor door of the dome building.
"Where is this?" Tianyang looked around and saw figures appearing from various entrances around the square one after another. These people were basically in groups of three.
They all had injuries to varying degrees, and only a very small number of teams were cleanly dressed and unscathed.
Yunze walked forward with his hands behind his back: "The sharing meeting will be held in the command hall on the first floor of the Beidou base. Let's go quickly. We have to register and report before we can enter the venue."
Several people quickened their pace.
Just when he saw the gate, someone suddenly came sideways and bumped into Tianyang on purpose.
Tianyang reacted quickly. Without even looking, he pushed forward with his shoulder.
With a slight sound, he staggered and the other party took two steps back.
Tianyang turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Xie Miao!
"It's you?"
He and Xie Miao shouted almost at the same time. In fact, this was the second time he had run into Xie Miao in the Beidou base.
But last time Tianyang was wearing a mask and used the dark shadow and black fog to conceal himself. Not only did Xie Miao not know it was him, he didn't even know what kind of person was in the black fog.
But although his tone was surprised at this time, his eyes flickered and there was no trace of surprise, as if he had known that he would run into Tianyang here.
Tianyang kept this detail in mind.
Yunze stopped and saw that it was Xie Miao. He frowned and asked, "Are you from the Xie family?"
He didn't know Xie Miao, but he recognized the family emblem on Xie Miao's armor.
Facing the Qingtian Yun family, Xie Miao did not dare to be too presumptuous, and said with a smile: "My name is Xie Miao, hello, Master Yunze."
Yunze said, "Let's go, don't worry about him."
Tian Yang originally ignored him and turned to leave, but Xie Miao unexpectedly stopped him and said, "White-haired boy, you bumped into someone and didn't even apologize. Didn't your parents teach you manners?"
Yunze frowned and said, "Xie Miao, do you know what kind of occasion this is? Don't make trouble here."
Xie Miao, contrary to his usual behavior, lowered his head and smiled apologetically: "Master Yunze is right, but this white-haired man is your subordinate. If he doesn't know the etiquette, how will others view Master Yunze?"
"Master Ze." Tian Yang said in a deep voice, "You go register first, I'll be there soon."
He finally understood that Xie Miao was coming for him. If he continued to get entangled with him, Yunze would miss the registration time and lose his "ticket", which would be a big loss.
Yunze also knew that time was urgent, so he had to say, "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you in the venue."
He glanced at Xie Miao again: "I'll remember you."
Xie Miao's eyes shone, but he still maintained his smile and demeanor: "It is my honor to be remembered by Master Yunze."
Yunze snorted. Xie Miao gave him the feeling of a piece of dog shit. Not threatening, but disgusting.
After Yunze left, Tianyang smiled and said, "Tell me what you want to do. Don't say I didn't remind you that in addition to the various families, there are also troops stationed in the fortress. If you do something out of line here, it will probably bring shame to your Xie family, right?"
"presumptuous!"
A loud shout attracted the attention of passers-by. Tianyang's eyes suddenly darkened, and there was an iron tower Vajra in front of him.
This person has a strong aura and is almost two meters tall. He is wearing dark gold heavy armor and has two star-level battle axes crossed behind him.
When he stood in front of Xie Miao, Tianyang's breathing was slightly blocked and he felt a little threatened.
Since the heavy armor almost covered his entire body and there was no emblem on his face, Tian Yang had no way of judging his rank. But in the assembly area that day, there was no such person beside Xie Miao. Could he be a recent recruit
Tianyang actually guessed it right.
Just yesterday, Xie Miao received news that Tianyang was in the Yun family's team. And his record in the competition was very dazzling. Whether it was the Plague Demon or the Wood Girl, the high-level black people he killed were those that most people had never encountered.
If nothing unexpected happens, this white-haired boy will gain the favor of the fortress at the end of the competition.
After learning about this, Xie Miao felt very uncomfortable, thinking that because of Tianyang, he almost couldn't even form a team.
Now, this white-haired boy is showing off in front of me again.
Yang Wei is here.
When the competition is over, the gap between him and me will probably be even bigger.
When he thought of this, a voice in Xie Miao's heart kept urging him to find an opportunity to destroy this white-haired guy.
Finally, Xie Miao decided to follow the call of his heart, and even painstakingly set up a trap. But when he was looking for someone to implement it, he originally looked for Gu Ge, but the man didn't buy it.
In desperation, Xie Miao paid a large sum of money and temporarily borrowed this Level 4 Ascender from a brother.
Now, Xie Miao seemed to be able to see Tianyang crying and begging for mercy on the ground in a while, and the more he thought about it, the happier he felt. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to laugh out loud.
"The one standing in front of you is the eldest son of the Xie family. How can a kid like you who can't even be called a poor family dare to offend him?"
The Ascendant wearing dark gold heavy armor probably got a lot of benefits, so he worked extra hard: "Kneel down immediately and apologize to Master Xie, maybe he will spare your life!"
Tian Yang did not retreat a step, staring at the Ascendant: "What a pity."
The heavily armored warrior was stunned for a moment: "What a pity."
Tian Yang sighed: "It's a pity that you have good fighting ability, but you are begging for mercy from someone like Xie Miao. Is he really worthy of your flattery?"
The heavily armored warrior's face immediately turned ferocious, and he reached behind his back and said, "Boy, you're looking for death!"
Tianyang waits for the other party to take action first, so that he has a reason to fight back.
Unexpectedly, Xie Miao shouted, "Stop it, Taishan! Where is this place? How dare you use violence!"
The Ascendant named Tarzan then stopped and snorted heavily through his nose.
Xie Miao walked up with a smile: "But Taishan is right, how can you have the courage to confront me when you don't even have a family. People like you are only fit to be dogs of the Yun family!"
"Come on, bark twice and let me hear you. Haha."
Tianyang narrowed his eyes slightly and really wanted to punch this guy in the hateful face, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Yunze.
"If that's all you want to say, then I'm leaving. I hope to see you in the lower base." Tianyang smiled indifferently and turned away.
"Why, are you leaving now? I heard that you are quite courageous. You just became a Night Walker and you dared to attack the family's base. Why don't you dare to talk to me this time?"
"That's right. People like you can do nothing but fight, so you don't know basic etiquette. I can't blame you for that. After all, you are also the son of a lowly woman."
Tianyang suddenly stopped, his face gloomy, and slowly turned back: "What did you just say!"
Xie Miao raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I said, you are the lowly offspring of some lowly woman! Even if you are labeled as an upper class, you still have lowly blood flowing in your bones."
Tianyang's breathing became heavy: "It doesn't matter what you say to me, but you can't joke about my family."
"Really?" Xie Miao spread his hands: "Then what do you want?"
Tian Yang's eyes began to glow: "Apologize, I want you to apologize to my mother!"
"Apologize?" Xie Miao laughed. "No problem, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry I was born twenty years too late, otherwise there might be a part of me in your blood, bastard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Miao heard a muffled sound, and then he saw the brightly lit dome above the square.
what happened
It was not until he fell heavily to the ground that he came to his senses and found that he was knocked away by Tianyang's punch!
