Astral Apostle
chapter-238

The base was fully equipped, and hundreds of people formed groups. Before long, they arrived at a large training ground.

The large-scale training field was a hemispherical field that occupied a wide area. The dome and walls were all made of high-intensity memory alloy. It was difficult for ordinary Supers to destroy it. There were also many searchlights embedded between the walls, illuminating the entire training field.

In the center was a white circular arena with a diameter of about 330 meters. The surroundings were protected by high-intensity transparent glass. The arena was suspended on the wall in a circular layout, overlooking the training ground.

In fact, there was actually small training room in the area that Supers could use to train. This training ground was usually not used. However, there were many people this time, and with Wang Wu’s approval, the management of the base agreed to provide a venue for hundreds of people to do a group activity.

The group came to the stands, chatting happily.

“This is a little like the arena battlefield of the Supers League. It’s just much simpler and smaller.”

Zhou Jing observed the venue and pondered out loud.

“That’s why it’s suitable for close combat types like us. This is the stage for us to shine.” Xu Lingyun pretended to be serious.

“Uh…”

At this moment, a few Awakened representatives finished their discussion with Wang Wu and walked over.

As the organizer of the event, He Changqing clapped to attract everyone’s attention. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he spoke out,

“Everyone, we’ve already discussed it. We’ll split into 13 teams according to our respective cities. Whoever wants to go on stage can do so, and there’s no limit to the number of spots. However, according to some of the arena rules of the Supers League, the number of opponents each team has defeated is the score of a team.

The final score will determine which team wins… Of course, our goal this time is to get to know each other. It’s a social gathering, so friendship first and victory second. It doesn’t matter if we win or lose. Don’t take it to heart.”

Everyone nodded and had no objections. They rubbed their palms together excitedly.

At this moment, someone shouted, “Then what’s the benefit of winning?”

“Uh, everyone’s applause?”

He Changqing joked.

Wang Wu walked over and shook his head when he heard this. He decided to speak out, “How about this? On behalf of the Supers Bureau, I’ll pay attention to your performance. If someone performs well, after entering the school, I can recommend them to additional mentors and obtain the attention of the academy. This will be the prize for the competition.”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people perked up in excitement and interest.

Although they did not know the weight of having his recommendation, any sort of help was still beneficial.

Seeing that everyone’s enthusiasm had been roused, Wang Wu took the chance to remind them once more, “But you have to pay attention to your safety. You can’t harm your opponent maliciously. As long as your opponent admits defeat or falls off the stage, you can’t chase after them. As the referee, once I feel that one of them is at a disadvantage and has no chance to turn the tables, I will immediately stop them from interfering, so there’s no need to completely knock down your opponent.”

Lin Kun crossed his arms and asked in a deep voice, “What if I accidentally injure my opponent?”

Wang Wu glanced at him and said casually, “The Supers Bureau’s medical standards are very high. As long as you’re not dead, you can usually be saved… Everyone, don’t worry. With me as the referee, no matter how strong your awakened abilities are, there’s no chance of an accident happening.”

Towards the end, his tone became firm and confident.

Everyone naturally believed in the level of a Rank 4 Super, so they were not too worried.

The crowd went into an uproar. Soon, they split into various city teams and started discussing. It was noisy and lively.

Dozens of supernatural immigrants from West Sea City gathered around Li Xiaoyin.

Li Xiaoyin looked around and asked, “What does everyone think?”

Zhao He thought for a moment and said, “Although it’s a friendly gathering, we should try our best to win. Don’t let others underestimate us.”

Huang Wei nodded in agreement and started to analyze,

“That’s right. According to the rules, the number of opponents we defeat is based on points, and we have two Class A and one Class SS. We have a huge advantage, so we should try not to go up to the weak ones. That’s giving others points. It’s best not to go up too much for those below Class B to ensure our advantage…”

Hearing this, many of their fellow villagers, who were originally excited, immediately hesitated and retreated.

Such a rule indeed needed “support pillars” to pull points. There were many people who wanted to show off, but they would feel bad if they dragged the team down.

However, Li Xiaoyin interrupted Huang Wei without thinking, “There’s no need to care about this. We’re not captains of the team. Everyone can go up if they want to.”

Zhou Jing chimed in, “Xiaoyin is right. Don’t feel pressured. It’s just a gathering. Having fun is the most important thing.”

Huang Wei immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She was only thinking about the benefits of Wang Wu’s mentor’s recommendation and forgot to care about the feelings of others. She could not help but feel vexed and quickly changed her words, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m just analyzing the rules. Of course, anyone can go up and perform.”

Seeing that Li Xiaoyin and the others had no objections, everyone put down their concerns and eagerly signed up.

Li Xiaoyin liked crowds, so she naturally participated. As for Zhao He and Huang Wei, they both had the desire to show off and decided to go on stage.

In addition, Shi Qing, who had Class B potential but was only ten years old, signed up at the request of his father and manager, Shi Chenhai. However, he was scolded by Li Xiaoyin before Shi Chenhai gave up on letting his son go on stage to fight.

As for the taciturn Wang Cheng, he had no intention of registering at all. He had made up his mind to watch the show from the side, and everyone could only let him be.

Since the two Class Bs in their city did not go on stage, there would be a break in the middle. Among the people on stage in West Sea City, only Li Xiaoyin, Zhao He, and Huang Wei were outstanding. The rest from the same hometown were all people with Class C and D potential. Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao ended up having to go on stage to make up the numbers.
