83: Racial Duel

The Yellow Sand Trial concluded.

After this experience, being deeply moved by that Oka People warrior, Lin Ye seemed to understand his own aspirations.

He enjoyed cultivation, loved cultivation, and wanted to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

At the same time, he understood that he loved humanity as a collective.

He loved his country.

With his Life goals established, Lin Ye became even more diligent.

A person's laziness is often due to insufficient drive; anyone can persevere in a field they love.

The trial did not offer any rewards.

However, after Lin Ye's achievements spread, everyone became even more respectful towards him.

Especially the Mohe Clan people; they were more enthusiastic seeing him than they would be seeing their own father.

As for the humans, there was even less to say: he soloed thirty fully-equipped Oka People squads without taking any damage, and it was in their most familiar sandstorm home ground.

In terms of alien beasts, what would be the challenge level for that?

The human contestants from Blue Star, including those big shots above Tier 7, also treated him with kindness and offered warm greetings.

They knew that Lin Ye would undoubtedly shine brightly in this duel and would certainly become a leading figure in Xia Country in the future.

Building good relations now was naturally a gain.

Moreover, although Lin Ye was somewhat reclusive and didn't talk much, he was still very polite to people.

Lin Ye was initially uncomfortable, having been used to being a nobody on the street. Suddenly being the center of attention made him a bit uneasy.

However, having experienced it a few times at Magic University and in professional competitions, he adapted and got used to it.

The main thing is, this is different from the enthusiasm of fans. Fans will naturally be stopped by others, but when big shots above Tier 7 want to build a relationship with you, who will stop them for you?

These people, on Blue Star, who among them isn't high-ranking and powerful?

Fortunately, they were all shrewd individuals who understood how to approach and withdraw when building relationships. Seeing that Lin Ye was uncomfortable in such settings, they just got acquainted and didn't bother him further.

Only then did Lin Ye relax and begin to cultivate with all his might.

.......

The duel between the Mohe Clan and the Oka People was a rare major event in over a decade.

Thus, it received unprecedented attention.

People from both the human and Three-Eyed Clan factions paid close attention.

There were also some neighboring civilizations that were very concerned due to political implications.

In the Galaxy, it was just a small ripple, the kind of news that would get less than a minute of airtime during a Galaxy Alliance news flash.

The entire Galaxy has over 200 billion stars like the sun, and there are countless planets with Life.

In the Galaxy Alliance, humans rank 146th.

The top hundred are all civilizations above Level 10.

Only civilizations above Level 10 are qualified to step onto the grand stage of the universe.

This involves a very important thing—the Virtual World.

The pinnacle creation of the Mechanical Clan, a Virtual World connecting the entire universe, requires extremely high technical content.

Only with this can one engage in diplomacy and trade with other distant races.

Otherwise, the universe is so vast that everyone wouldn't be able to interact.

Unfortunately, humanity's first attempt to reach a Level 10 civilization failed thirty years ago.

.......

The duel was truly fascinating; the peak confrontation between the two races was dazzling.

The competitions in various industries were also very eye-catching.

And the reason for the duel was also revealed due to Lin Ye's increased influence.

It involved a treasure land in the Star Realm, which contained materials for advancing to Star Level.

Mr. Xu told him that after Tier 7, he would need to prepare materials for advancing to Star Level, and he should try to choose these materials as rewards after the event.

He didn't specify what materials they were.

Darn it.

A riddle-teller.

Speaking in riddles, are we?

However, Lin Ye didn't press for answers. Since Mr. Xu reminded him, he would naturally explain later.

Their Tier 5 duel was still a long way off.

It was said that the lower-tier duels would be finished first.

So, during this time, besides training, he watched a competition called the Forging Blade Contest.

It was a competition of the two races' ability to craft runic weapons.

It was particularly interesting.

And there was also intergalactic racing, which truly made one's adrenaline surge.

The results of the duels were mixed, with each side having wins and losses; overall, they were evenly matched.

After all, the overall strength gap between the two races was not significant.

“Lin Ye, Lin Ye, quickly look at the Legion Battle, it's truly magnificent and grand.” Nio sent a message, along with a link.

“I'll take a look.” Lin Ye replied, then clicked the link.

The arena for the Legion Battle was in space.

Countless warships, spaceships, carriers, fighters, and mechs were in a chaotic battle.

The battlefield was as epic and grand as a historical saga, instantly stunning Lin Ye, who had never seen such a scene before.

“As expected of our Mohe Clan, the Commander's strategic ability is outstanding.” This was the commentator.

“The Commander is a super genius, having cultivated the profession of Commander to Tier 7 at only seventy years old.”

“That's right, that's right, this is a Commander! A profession exclusive to the battlefield, extremely difficult to cultivate.”

Commander, a command-type ability user.

Blue Star also has this profession.

Due to its important status, the cultivation methods are not openly available, and the selection of talents is very secretive. Infants with broad brain regions are identified, their ancestors for ten generations are thoroughly investigated, and then they are brought into closed training.

Among several competitors of the same period, only the strongest can cultivate the General class, while the rest can only cultivate the Commander class.

General-class ability users are extremely difficult to cultivate; their abilities are Star Level, and the knowledge covered by their skills is very broad. It is said that a General-class Silver Level skill can rival the knowledge of a normal profession's Star Level skill, making the cultivation difficulty even higher.

Moreover, simply upgrading Star Power is useless; it can only increase your stamina. Generals do not lack Star Power; their respective forces constantly provide Generals with various Star Power supplements.

What they lack is comprehension of their profession.

A Tier 6 General, if they master a Silver Level skill, can easily defeat a General who has only roughly cultivated the skill but broke through to Tier 9 early.

Of course, this refers to a battle of armies.

Therefore, General ranking does not depend on Star Power level, but on brain region development, mental power, abilities, and skill proficiency.

A Tier 7 General is already a national treasure.

With a Tier 7 General leading, a fleet can unleash its maximum strength.

The Mohe Clan was clearly in a huge advantage.

Their coordination and average quality far surpassed the opponent's.

The Oka People were unwilling to be defeated like this and sent out their strongest individual combat units: mechs.

The mechs operated by the Oka People warriors had terrifying combat power. A few mechs, like a sharp dagger, plunged into the battlefield, instantly destroying dozens of Mohe Clan drones and floating cannons.

But the Mohe Clan was very steady; they mobilized forces to tie down the mechs, preventing them from rushing forward to decapitate and destroy important fire points like energy cannons.

The mechs were strong, but ants can kill an elephant. They destroyed thousands of Mohe Clan combat units before being destroyed.

Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue.

The wearers of these mechs were only Tier 6 in strength, yet they could be invincible.

Mechs are a lower-tier substitute for battle armor, enlarging the structure of battle armor to reduce manufacturing difficulty, but they are too cumbersome and consume a lot, making them more suitable for War.

This was the most suitable equipment for the Oka People warriors among the Oka People's weapons.

Unfortunately, being strong as an individual has too little impact in a War.

War is a competition of overall strength, comprehensive quality, command ability, morale, and individual power. Unless it reaches an extreme, individual power will fall in a human wave tactic.

The main reason is that Legion Battles do not allow the presence of Tier 7 and above. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a Legion Battle; it would be better called an all-out brawl.

Before the duel, both sides had combat unit quotas that could not be exceeded.

A regular floating cannon counts as one combat unit, while a mech counts as over a thousand.
