Chapter 328: 162, Hidden Kill_2
At exactly 11 o’clock in the morning, as the light shifted, seven figures appeared in front of the conference table, with more figures surrounding them from behind.
Above the conference table, a water-blue planet was projected, over seventy percent of its surface covered by water, with deserts, forests, mountains, and ice fields also present. It rotated gently like it was spinning on its axis, exuding an overwhelming pressure with each turn.
“The seven councilmen and twenty-two councillors have all gathered.”
A cold, emotionless voice came from the spinning planet above the conference table, and at the same time, a crack slowly opened, making it look like an eye.
“Planet Inspector.”
The seven figures behind the conference table and the twenty-two figures surrounding them spoke simultaneously with respect.
Although the Planet Inspector was just intelligent life, its status was unique, holding final decision-making power and acting as the sole controller of this Space Fortress.
Once this Sixth Rank Space Fortress erupted, even the councilman could only flee, and anyone below the councilman would surely perish.
“This online meeting has been initiated by Councilman Yan Que.”
The voice of the Planet Inspector resonated: “Councilman Yan Que has submitted an application for the newly joined prospective Star Patrol, ‘Lin Qing,’ to use the Sixth Energy Level Energy Gathering Pool ahead of schedule. Normally, it would still take about a year and three months if queued. Councilmen, please express your thoughts freely.”
After a moment of silence, an Intelligent Star old man with an ice-blue vertical eye on his brow sneered and spoke:
“Use it ahead of schedule? Considering he’s a rare Divine Office holder, he already received a special invitation to join the council, and now he wants to jump the queue? Can’t wait for just over a year?”
“Councilman Kelo.”
Yan Councilman looked at him expressionlessly, “This newcomer, Lin Qing, is a genius. From the start of his cultivation until now, it has been less than two and a half years. This year is very important for him, there’s no need to delay.”
“Genius?” Councilman Kelo said coldly, “If he became a Star Patrol after cultivating for over two years, it would be justifiable, but he’s merely Original level, at most Second Layer of Star Abyss. What’s the point of breaking the rules for him?”
Yan Councilman said indifferently, “In that cultivation environment of Earth Civilization, if it were you, would you have made it this far?”
Councilman Kelo scoffed, “Who can clearly say anything about cultivation?”
“This person jumps the queue, then another person jumps the queue. What would become of our rules?” A female councilman from Intelligent Star with a black vertical eye on her brow also said coldly.
“There are only eight Sixth Energy Level Energy Gathering Pools in total, with many prospective Star Patrols in line. Should talent always warrant special privileges?”
“Didn’t Councilman Pulos also enjoy such treatment back then?”
“Councilman Pulos had an even rarer Divine Office, not only was he one of only two Phantom Demon Masters on Earth, but he also made it through the third layer of Star Abyss. What about this Earth person?”
The councilmen spoke one after another, clearly all against the exception except for Yan Councilman.
“Then let’s vote.”
The planet, like an eye, slowly rotated, and a flat voice came: “If the agreement is less than half, the councilmen may propose a test.”
“Agree.”
“Disagree.”
“Disagree.”
“Disagree.”
Soon, all seven councilmen voted, and naturally, all six other than the fellow Earth person Yan Councilman disagreed.
Regarding the test proposals, the six councilmen each proposed tests of the highest difficulty, even though the Planet Inspector was unlikely to agree, they could test the Planet Inspector’s bottom line step by step.
A moment later.
“…Above are the three proposed solutions. All councilmen and councillors, please vote.”
The Planet Inspector projected three test solutions, and the councilmen and councillors immediately began voting.
The Planet Inspector’s three solutions also represented three levels of test difficulty, all possibly passable but with varying degrees of difficulty.
Finally——
“Plan One, 23 votes.”
The Planet Inspector slowly rotated and looked at Yan Councilman: “Councilman Yan, please inform the prospective Star Patrol Lin Qing that as long as he passes the test of Plan One, he will be allowed to jump the queue to use the Energy Gathering Pool.”
“This test…” Yan Councilman furrowed his brows tightly.
“What? Councilman Yan?”
Councilman Kelo said indifferently: “This is the solution given by the Planet Inspector, do you have any problems with it?”
Another female councilman from Intelligent Star glanced at Yan Councilman and said lightly: “Since he wants to jump the queue, naturally he should be stronger than all those currently using the Energy Gathering Pool and those ahead of him in line. What’s wrong with that?”
Yan Councilman snorted coldly, and with that, the holographic projection disappeared.
…
…
“Plan One?”
In the living room, Lin Qing stood in front of Yan Councilman and asked in confusion: “Is the difficulty of Plan One’s test very high?”
“Very high.” Yan Councilman’s brow tightened, “I originally thought that if you engraved the Holy Character Blood Blade, your overt strength would be hopeful to pass the third layer of Star Abyss. The hope of passing the test would be great, but now… it’s unlikely.”
“Unlikely?”
Lin Qing asked: “What exactly is the test?”
He had already reached the Star Abyss ranking list with the name 02.
Yan Councilman, Irenado, and others certainly knew that his codename on Dusk Front was 02, naturally understanding he already had the strength to pass the third layer of Star Abyss.
Before engraving Holy Character Blood Blade, even with his Commander’s ability, no matter how strong the domain was, the lack of attack power would prevent passing the third layer. But he passed, and these people certainly understood he had hidden strength.
What do you think?
