341: Chapter 321: The End 341: Chapter 321: The End “…Actually, this time, I really held back.” Facing doubts, Lu Ping’an felt somewhat wronged, and this time, he really didn’t lie or play word games. After all, it was a public event in the city, and his opponents were only “ordinary people,” so it wouldn’t be good for him to make blood flow like a river. When he got off the field, not only was Little Flame full of complaints, but even he himself felt a bit unsatisfied. He was not used to seriously attacking without seeing blood and dead people. But even if he truly expressed that he had been very well-behaved, the others still had a look of “Ah, right, right, right” and “You just keep pretending” on their faces, so he could only helplessly sigh. “…It seems that humans are animals that cannot understand each other.” After sighing a little, Lu Ping’an turned his gaze towards the stage below. In his eyes, when Guan Xinxian stepped down, the competition was actually coming to an end. “Let’s see what place we got.” He had no extravagant hopes for first place, as there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world. Many professionals hid their names and developed in obscurity, but if encountered by chance, they would always give you a little “surprise.” Many times, the gap between first and second place was only due to the fact that the rankings could only be ranked this way. The real gap was not on the same level at all. But he had confidence in Guan Xinxian and the power he had gained through countless years and efforts. “…As expected, it was quick.” Still wearing the seemingly heavy and cumbersome protective suit, it was thrown into the sky like a bouncing ball, and then The third event had only one rule—”Enter the sea alone and cannot leave the water during the process.” Whether it was on the surface or underwater didn’t matter, but most people would choose the surface. Some tried to take shortcuts, pulling out jet skis, but the next moment, the vehicles disappeared, apparently violating the “solo individual” rule. “The last round is just a test of pure strength, I guess.” In a vast but limited environment like the sea, the difficulty of hindering opponents increases significantly, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low. It’s better to figure out how to swim faster. The seemingly different events were all testing the coping abilities of the “Runner” path. The first event was an endurance obstacle, which tested basic skills and adaptability. Of course, it also tested the upper limit and characteristics of one’s abilities. It was the simplest limiting field and the stage where professionals could best showcase their talents. An extremely high upper limit, and a lower limit resulting in immediate elimination. The second event was about vehicles, but due to Lu Ping’an’s presence, the hidden test of “ability to cope with crises” was discovered earlier. Vehicle racing on highways was different from the “all-capable Runner.” Destroying the highway and others’ pathways became optional, and no one could predict how dirty the contestants’ hands or hearts could be in the next showdown. Of course, if you ranked among the top few in the first event, your pressure would be much reduced. The actual focus was twisted by Lu Ping’an. It should have been “keep moving forward under fierce competition,” rather than simply “you’re not allowed to be faster than me.” The third event was the one in front of them, with vehicles and the environment restricted. What was left seemed to be just a plain hard fight. If evaluating an individual in the three events, the test was comprehensive. If evaluating a team, it was enough for three people to show what they were best at. “…It turns out our luck wasn’t bad. Meow got the two top-quality Runner equipments, I’m good at making others uncomfortable, and Brother Guan undoubtedly has a strong foundation.” The current development confirmed Lu Ping’an’s speculation, with Guan Xinxian accelerating and catching up like an arrow leaving the string. The seemingly unreachable distance to the top group before was gradually shrinking, while those trying to catch up from behind were desperately being left farther and farther away. Humans cannot live in water. Therefore, the normal “water combat” Path is a sailor rather than a fishman. This path increases water combat (surface warfare) capabilities, including deck fighting, water combat facilities, water equipment operation, and so on. The combat power is quite impressive… but the prerequisite is that there’s a ship! Sailor Captains who advanced with the Tamer route still rely on “having a ship (water vehicle)” as their premise. Humans rely on tools, and “vehicles” are just tools. Physical-combat professions in water? It’s not that they don’t exist, but they are not useful locally, so there are very few. Conversely, in worlds dominated by water regions, there are many underwater physical combat professions, such as the exotic Fishman race Lu Ping’an had encountered before. Their strongest were various water-controlling sorcerers who manipulated underwater pressure and whirlpools, invincible in a certain environment. Although most of Earth is covered by water, humans do not live in the ocean. When necessary, using a ship is enough. Because of the lack of environmental demand, there is a natural shortage, and most teams cannot find a suitable candidate at short notice… Guan Xinxian’s water rescue team is among the most reliable experts in this field, and most of the time they’re heroes with no place to use their skills, so they need to train in different places. At this moment, when everyone faced the challenge of forcibly crossing the river with their physical bodies and the few Beast Tamers who had brought out water beasts were thrown out, the results were very clear. “…We should make it into the top ten.” Guan Xinxian’s advantage was obvious, and even if other big shots relied on their powerful physical bodies to force their way across the water, they couldn’t beat this super-experienced underwater expert with amazing water abilities and a well-matched talent. His underwater speed was like flying, and the Runners ahead of him were overtaken one by one. There was no turning point, no struggle, as the environment limited most conditions. Even if a handful of people with abilities tried to manipulate the water flow, the vast sea would stretch the distance and solve most problems. He took one last look, and Lu Ping’an took the lead in standing up. He said: “According to my experience, it’s time to go.” Lu Ping’an looked around. All the spectators were watching the last round of the competition. It was time to leave… Although he didn’t mind trouble, being mobbed was out of the question. The other members of the Rebirth Club quickly stood up, and as soon as the 30th contestant crossed the finish line, the rankings were set. The Secret Realm lock was unlocked, and a group of people instantly left the Secret Realm. [The third-tier Secret Realm ‘Ironman Triathlon’ has been completed. Lu Ping’an’s No. 63 team scores… fifth place. Overall evaluation is rated ‘A+’. Team member Lei Shuiyun will receive an additional gift.] Fifth place? To be honest, it was much better than expected. If he had replaced himself in this weak event, they might have made the top three… However, it seemed that even after going through the entire Special Service Team, there was no top-level racing Tamer veteran, as everyone had a different evolution path. As for the top two, those two seemingly fourth-tier group leaders were leading by too much. The last person’s speed in the water was even faster than Guan Xinxian’s. Lu Ping’an had already confirmed that they had won the right to use half a Plane, as all of the top four seemed too old to be college students. Unexpectedly, Lu Ping’an also received a message. [Message from the Secret Realm Master (Chaser’s Virtual Persona): You have a good understanding. Are you interested in advancing further in the pursuit!] “No, scram!” Lu Ping’an wanted someone to help him analyze the Chasers’ personality and preferences, but instead, it made Meow’s fur rise instantly. But that wasn’t the focus. The main point was the reward this time. “…As expected, the benefits of pioneering ‘Secret Realms’ are generous.”
