59: Fearless

“Idiot.”

The moment Ji Xiuyuan’s voice fell, a voice sounded from the opposing team.

Concise and direct.

This three-person team also consisted of two males and one female. The two males looked extremely similar, making them difficult to distinguish; they were a somewhat rare pair of twins.

The one who spoke was one of the twins.

Hearing this, Ji Xiuyuan wasn't angered. He quickly shook his head and said, “I’m sincerely inviting you all. It’s just a tactic, why resort to personal attacks?”

“Since none of you have any intention of cooperating, whoever starts fighting will be taken advantage of by the third team, so we’ll leave first.”

“Good luck to both of your teams.”

He waved his fist in a gesture of encouragement, signaled his teammates with his eyes, then spread his hands to show he was harmless, and retreated cautiously.

Beside him, his two teammates did the same.

Just then.

In the twins’ team, the only female suddenly spoke.

“Killing other participants of the Heavenly Selection competition also won’t grant that special power which can reduce repulsion.”

Qin Jin’s gaze fell upon her.

The female who spoke was short with silver hair, and her expression was serious at the moment.

“You’ve tested it?”

Qin Jin said steadily.

“Something like that.”

The silver-haired female replied, her gaze looking into the distance, her eyes deep: “How could a newly born God care about the disputes of mortals.”

“That special power that integrates into oneself can be seen as a gift from the God.”

“The repulsive force permeating this restricted area will even be reduced due to our identity and age, so why would it cause us, Mining Star humans who are easily accepted by the Star God, to have different disputes because of its gift?”

“Instead of wasting time here, it’s better to hunt those constructs as quickly as possible.”

By the end of her words, she had already turned around: “Only this way will we not bear more pressure later and seize the initiative.”

She led the way.

The twins looked at Qin Jin and his two teammates warily, then gradually retreated as well.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

When the silver-haired female spoke, Ji Xiuyuan and his two teammates had already slowly retreated, and now the distance between them had widened by nearly a hundred meters.

Behind him.

Yu Sheng and Jiang Panxia’s gazes fell on Qin Jin.

Qin Jin shook his head.

He would not show any mercy when facing an enemy.

But similarly, he was not a bloodthirsty demon.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qin Jin’s gaze looked into the distance, towards the Thunder God Tree at the far end of the sky, his eyes slightly lowered.

He wouldn’t directly believe the silver-haired female’s words, but what she said did make him feel a little more comfortable.

This feeling was about the Star God that was about to be conceived.

Even though he had awakened his past life memories, Mining Star was still his hometown where he had lived for sixteen years since birth.

If he became the Heavenly Selection victor, he would even have to face that God directly.

Therefore, the nature of this newborn God was crucial.

“Let’s go.”

Qin Jin retracted his gaze: “Let’s hunt constructs.”

“Yu Sheng, Jiang Panxia.”

He looked at the two: “If the repulsive force continues to increase as we go deeper, then… you two should directly give up this Heavenly Selection competition and return to the Frontline Base.”

The repulsive force within the restricted area would suppress combat power. Only by hunting more constructs and obtaining more special power could it be dispelled.

Under these circumstances, the plan Yu Sheng had proposed earlier became a suitable choice.

In a team with imbalanced combat power, concentrating the special power on one person could have an unexpected effect.

Hearing this, Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Beside him.

Jiang Panxia stood with her gun, looking at Qin Jin: “Captain…”

“No need to worry.”

Qin Jin looked deep into the restricted area: “Ultimately, forming a team of three is a regulation set by the Federation for the Chosen Plan.”

“There is only one victor in the Star God Chosen, and this three-person configuration seems to provide each Heavenly Selection team with enough room for error.”

“After all, the situation within the restricted area is unknown.”

“But now, as the rules of the restricted area are gradually revealed, a three-person team will instead become a burden.”

As Qin Jin murmured, Chu Tianyi’s words flashed through his mind.

Those were the words Chu Tianyi said when they first met, after he confirmed Qin Jin as the captain.

[Three sharp swords emerging from the same sheath might instead cause internal friction.]

“This sentence, combined with the current rules of the restricted area, perhaps… there will be a good show to watch.”

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Jin’s voice was calm, but his tone contained unparalleled confidence:

“Next, I alone am enough.”

As his voice fell.

With a sudden realization, Qin Jin’s gaze shifted, looking in one direction.

That was the direction Ji Xiuyuan and his two teammates had left.

At the end of his sight, Ji Xiuyuan and his two teammates, after maintaining a cautious distance, were just about to speed up.

But…

It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred!

A figure, entirely enveloped by life energy, charged from the side with extreme speed.

The moment Qin Jin’s gaze swept over, he saw the newcomer approach, directly targeting Ji Xiuyuan at the core. With life energy covering his fist, he slammed a punch heavily into Ji Xiuyuan’s left cheek.

With one punch, Ji Xiuyuan’s glasses shattered and flew far away, landing on the ground. Under the immense force, his body swayed, falling towards the opposite direction of the attacker’s force, and blood splattered out.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground.

Ji Xiuyuan did not lose his ability to resist. He propped himself up with his right hand on the ground, his body twisting, and fiercely kicked the attacker with both legs.

His two teammates also attacked at the same time.

Qin Jin’s gaze swept, falling to one side of that battlefield.

There.

Two other male figures stood.

One was tall, with his hands in his pockets and a buzz cut, his eyes cold.

The other was of medium height, with his hands clasped behind his back, stretching upwards, doing a leisurely stretch.

From afar.

Qin Jin’s gaze met with theirs.

At the same time…

In another direction, the silver-haired female’s team also noticed the commotion, stopped, and looked back.

Their gazes met.

Qin Jin saw the tall male, who was Zhou Wei, grin, revealing a chilling smile.

Then.

A deliberately raised, provocative voice sounded, carrying far into their ears.

“Xiang Yichen, our luck is good.”

“There are exactly two more teams. One for you, one for me, how about it?”

“As you wish.”

As the response sounded, the medium-height male’s figure erupted, charging forward, directly targeting Qin Jin and his two teammates’ position.

Only the sound of wind and his words were left behind.

“Zhou Wei, I’ll pick the closer one. The team in the distance is yours.”

“But if you’re too slow, then I’ll take both teams!”

Seeing this, the tall male, who was Zhou Wei, cursed and quickly ran to catch up.

In the distance.

Upon realizing that the other party was preparing for a fight, the silver-haired female’s team’s formation quietly changed.

The twins stood in front, and the silver-haired female stood behind. In her eyes, faint blue light flickered.

At the same time.

Qin Jin looked at the two individuals, who were rapidly charging with a gap between them, and reached out to press on Yu Sheng and Jiang Panxia’s shoulders.

The two gripped their weapons, ready to attack.

With his hands withdrawn, Qin Jin’s expression was calm. He slowly stepped forward, actively meeting the enemy.

A murmur sounded, reaching the ears of his teammates behind him.

“So confident.”

“Truly…”

“Ignorance is bliss.”
