Chapter 1 The Human Border

On the Human border square.

Venerable Fenglei, Yin Ruida, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ten super geniuses he had selected, a satisfied expression on his face.

These ten people were carefully selected from countless geniuses. Each of them was invincible at their level and capable of challenging opponents of higher ranks.

Yin Ruida firmly believed that these ten people he had chosen would surely triumph in the battle against the Orcs on the Fenglei Cloud Platform!

The others who weren't selected watched the backs of these ten, their eyes filled with envy.

One must know that this battle represented the entire Human race, a supreme glory.

Moreover, victory would bring countless benefits. Many peak Pseudo-God experts within the Human race had vowed to work together to grant one wish to the person who secured victory for the Humans.

This was equivalent to the entire strength of the Human race being used to accomplish something for you. What an alluring benefit!

Looking at the youthful faces below, Yin Ruida spoke loudly, beginning his pre-battle mobilization.

"Everyone! Since the Twilight of the Gods, my Human race and the Orc race have been in constant turmoil, with continuous wars. The grudges between the two races have only deepened."

"This newly discovered God's Remains has intensified the war to a fever pitch! The top experts of both races are fighting fiercely, but it is difficult to determine a victor."

"Normally, your strength would not be enough to participate in the war between the two major races, but today is different, because today is the day of the Fenglei Cloud Platform duel!"

"The outcome of the Fenglei Cloud Platform duel will determine which side the God's Remains belongs to. Tell me, are you confident in defeating the Orcs?"

Yin Ruida issued a rousing cry.

"Yes!!!"

The geniuses below let out a hysterical roar.

Those who are not of our race must have different intentions.

Although a small number of people felt that they could coexist peacefully with the Orcs, most Humans could not accept them.

Because some of the more brutal Orcs used Humans as food.

In addition, years of war had caused many Humans to hate the Orcs intensely.

"Within the God's Remains, there may be secrets to ascending to True Godhood. My ten young men, the future of the Human race rests on your shoulders! Please, you must win the duel on the Fenglei Cloud Platform!" Yin Ruida looked at the ten people before him with anticipation.

Seeing the fiery fighting spirit emerging in their eyes, Yin Ruida was very satisfied with his speech. His pre-battle mobilization could be considered perfect.

Just as he waved his hand, preparing to lead the ten geniuses to the Fenglei Cloud Platform, a discordant voice suddenly rang out from below.

"Wait! Venerable Fenglei, it may not be appropriate to entrust the future of our Human race to an ordinary person, right?"

Everyone on the square was startled. At this time, someone actually dared to talk back to Yin Ruida? Who was so bold?

Yin Ruida's face also darkened.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the one who spoke was Lin Wuyan, who was carrying a dark red axe.

Behind Lin Wuyan was a large group of onlookers who had come to watch the show.

"Lin Wuyan, are you dissatisfied with my arrangements? Or would you like to take my place as Venerable Fenglei?" There was already a hint of coldness in Yin Ruida's voice.

Lin Wuyan's expression changed instantly.

He understood that Yin Ruida was displeased that he had lost face in public.

"Wuyan wouldn't dare! It's just, Venerable, Wuyan simply doesn't understand why an ordinary person is mixed in with the ten? Wuyan has no intention of contradicting you. Wuyan is only thinking of the future of the Human race!"

Lin Wuyan pointed at Qiao Yu, his words carefully chosen. Qiao Yu couldn't help but take another look at him.

This seemingly uninhibited and unrestrained young man was very meticulous, standing on the moral high ground of the Human race in a few words.

As soon as Lin Wuyan finished speaking, everyone on the square focused their attention on Qiao Yu.

"Huh? Compared to the others, I've never heard of this Qiao Yu before, and the aura on his body is indeed no different from an ordinary person!"

"Impossible! How could the Venerable choose an ordinary person to participate in the Fenglei Cloud Platform? Isn't that nonsense? I guess that Qiao Yu must have some extremely profound skill to conceal his aura!"

"You know, I heard that Qiao Yu didn't participate in any of the competitions and was directly given a spot!"

"Wow! Really? Could it be that he really got in through the back door? Venerable Fenglei actually used his influence even for such a major event? Impossible!"

"Really! Think about it, when have you ever seen this Qiao Yu participate in a competition?"

The crowd on the square whispered to each other, and then many people looked at Qiao Yu and Yin Ruida with suspicion.

Yin Ruida's face was also very ugly. What a bunch of fools. Do you think I gave this kid a spot for his sake? I'm doing it for your own good!

If he participated in the competition, I'm afraid his punch would shatter your mentality.

But Yin Ruida didn't know how to explain it at this time. If Qiao Yu had concealed his realm, that would be one thing, but the key was that Qiao Yu was really an ordinary person! It's just that his physical body was a little stronger!

If he hadn't personally experienced it twice, Yin Ruida himself wouldn't have believed that an ordinary person could send him flying with one punch.

"Lin Wuyan, just say it, what exactly do you want?" Yin Ruida asked in a deep voice.

Lin Wuyan's face lit up with joy when he heard this. His goal was about to be achieved!

He saw Lin Wuyan raise the Limitless Emperor Axe in his hand and point it at Qiao Yu.

"Venerable, I want to challenge this Qiao Yu in front of everyone! The name of my Limitless Emperor Axe, Lin Wuyan, must have been heard by more or less everyone on the square! If he can defeat me, I believe everyone will be convinced!"

"And if he is just a silver spear with a wax head, a useless showoff, then please, Venerable, give this last spot to me, Lin Wuyan!"

Yin Ruida's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this, and he shouted sharply.

"What nonsense! Lin Wuyan, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"The decisive battle on the Fenglei Cloud Platform is imminent, and we are about to face the Orcs. You are challenging Qiao Yu now. What if you both suffer heavy losses? Then, whether you win or lose, wouldn't it weaken the strength of my Human race?"

Yin Ruida's stern shout spread throughout the entire square like rolling thunder. Many people felt that Yin Ruida's words made sense.

If the two were to fight to a standstill, then no matter who won, they would not be able to fight the Orcs in their best condition.

Lin Wuyan's face turned pale. He didn't expect Yin Ruida to come up with such a reason.

Looking at Yin Ruida's gloomy face, Lin Wuyan understood that he had offended this Venerable Fenglei this time.

But for the sake of the last spot, Lin Wuyan couldn't care less. He was going all out.

"Venerable! Why are you so reluctant for me to challenge Qiao Yu? Wuyan dares to ask, could it be that he really is someone you let in through the back door, and you're protecting him, is that it?"

"Besides, to deal with an ordinary person, there's no need for both sides to suffer heavy losses. One axe from me is enough!"

Lin Wuyan flicked the Limitless Emperor Axe, and the terrifying aura of a Fifth-Layer Semi-God spread out.

The wind roared, his robes fluttered, and Lin Wuyan, holding the dark red axe, stood upright on the square, like an invincible god of war staring straight at Yin Ruida.
