Chapter 1479: Chapter 1162: Giving Others a Chance_2
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Little Two’s armored hand exploded, and it was not Elsa who caused it, but himself! The chaotic pace had prevented him from retreating one hand before another Light Sword tightly slashed down on it!
"See, what did I tell you?" Elsa said.
With one hand lost, Little Two had no training in fighting with three Light Swords. After a few clumsy attacks, he could only withdraw the Light Sword from his foot. Facing Elsa with only one Light Sword, how could he possibly win!
In the blink of an eye, his chest armor was slashed open, and Little Two was forcibly ejected.
"I told you, a tutorial is just a tutorial. Attempting to surpass it won’t work," Elsa concluded in the end.
Almost everyone in the arena stood up and applauded. Unlike Henki’s bizarre battle, Elsa’s fight was entirely within all the warriors’ understanding. They loved seeing such battles, as they viewed it as a complete overpowering of strength!
"Basics, of utmost importance," Anzong said lightly. His aide immediately knew that the soldiers were in trouble. Among all the training, basic training was the most tedious and boring. Yet Elsa’s performance made everyone understand what a person with excellent fundamentals could do.
After Elsa’s victory, Long Yi yawned greatly; he was really tired. He was tired because of the mentally draining performance Elsa had crafted, even though there were many ways she could have won.
But ultimately, she won excitingly, and looking at the Emperor and Group Leader’s reactions in the stands, it was a very beautiful victory.
"I’ll go create some opportunities for others," Long Yi said to Elsa.
"Yeah, be careful," Elsa said.
"Don’t worry, your Brother Long is a master of infiltration," Long Yi bragged confidently.
Being the designated champion, Henki, whom Long Yi was playing, now had no battle assignments and no training tasks. He had effectively already started his vacation; hence he left the barracks and headed into the Imperial City to roam around.
As he said, he meant to create opportunities for others.
Creating opportunities for others, as the phrase implied, meant giving some time to those plotting some schemes who didn’t yet know what they wanted to do.
Ever since Henki’s fame had arisen, some began to think crookedly. They attempted to gather details from Henki’s past life through sideways queries. They wanted to know how Henki transformed from a fool into a current master. More so, they were curious about the strange Greatsword—what was it all about?
Of course, there were those with ulterior motives among them. Their only goal was to abduct or even kill Henki, as his emergence seriously threatened their family’s standing.
Regarding these individuals, La Sang’s Family had already begun stringent defenses. Many, even unknown to Long Yi himself, had been blocked on the outside. However, those were just the overt ones; many more that were hidden could not be seen. This is when Long Yi needed to give them a chance.
Then, the opportunity arrived.
Since arriving here, Long Yi hadn’t yet encountered the world of the commoners from The Forgotten Ones. The military was a relatively pure world, and the happenings in the ordinary world were profoundly different. Here, for the first time, Long Yi saw differently shaped armors, or should it be called large clothes? Energy alloys were made into more beautiful and attractive shapes here, and from the decorations on the exteriors, one could tell different identities and statuses. This place was no different from the cities of various intelligent beings that Long Yi knew—it had a city center, commercial districts, industrial areas, and slums.
Honestly, after making the rounds, Long Yi didn’t quite agree with the Giant named Kasha. Kasha said that only by exterminating these creatures could they be stopped, but Long Yi thought that perhaps Kasha hadn’t truly touched the ordinary world of The Forgotten Ones. After all, ordinary people existed there too.
After making one full circle, nothing happened, which surprised Long Yi. Could these people be so patient?
Thus, Long Yi started heading toward some remote areas. He originally planned to leave the city, but then he thought it might be too troublesome. Leaving the city required procedures, so he decided to honestly find a secluded place to squat for a while. If indeed no one came, then he would leave—opportunity was given, it was their own fault for not seizing it.
Speaking of seclusion, the slums were undoubtedly it. Once entering the slums, it felt like stepping into two different worlds. Here, even a complete set of armor was hard to find; many of The Forgotten Ones just wore ordinary clothes here. Occasionally, one could see a suit of armor, but it was shabby. In Long Yi’s view, since the civilization of The Forgotten Ones had developed to such an extent, providing every resident with at least one set of armor shouldn’t be difficult, especially for The Forgotten Ones, for whom the armors were even more important than life.
However, clearly, the Emperor did not think so. As for why that was, Long Yi didn’t know, and for now, there seemed to be no time to delve into it. Because soon after he entered the slum, he noticed that some people had followed him. It was then that Long Yi realized he had made a mistake of empiricism. Since these people were not humans, they were all sitting in cockpits, Long Yi couldn’t see their eyes, discern their walking gait differences, or even feel any murderous intent. It was precisely because of this that Long Yi thought no one was following him. But in fact, people had always been lurking behind him!
