Chapter 372 All Convinced
With three days left in the assessment, the Earth team encountered three teams in an open field. The three teams formed a triangle, each occupying a position, facing each other, and the air was filled with tension.
"Are you the Earth Team?" A tall, burly man, nearly two meters tall, walked slowly to Nangong Jingming with heavy steps, staring at him with a sharp gaze. His voice was low and powerful, as if it could penetrate the air.
"Yes, we are the Earth Team. What do you want?" Nangong Jingming calmly asked, meeting the other party's gaze without fear. He was secretly alert and prepared for any situation. If the other party proposed a one-on-one challenge, he would naturally not back down, but before that, he had to understand the other party's intentions.
"We're here to challenge you, Team Earth," the man's tone was filled with resentment and defiance. Their team had originally ranked in the top 50, but in just two days, Team Earth had, with its astonishing performance, pushed them straight out of the top 50. This filled them with resentment, so they used a special positioning device to locate the Earth team and headed over without hesitation. Unexpectedly, they found more than one team with the same idea.
"Oh, what are the rules?" Nangong Jingming frowned slightly and asked directly. He knew that in this challenging assessment, the rules were crucial. Only by understanding the rules clearly could one better cope with the challenge.
"Captain Nangong, you're a straightforward person, so I'll just say it directly. I want to challenge you one-on-one!" Seeing Nangong Jingming's straightforwardness, the man stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his intentions. His eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to compete with Nangong Jingming.
"Sure." Nangong Jingming agreed decisively without hesitation. His voice was firm and powerful, revealing strong confidence and courage. In his mind, challenges were the perfect opportunity to improve his strength, and he was never afraid of any opponent.
"Lost half of the points." The man added, a sly look in his eyes. This was a rule he had carefully formulated. He believed that with his own strength, he would be able to win points from Nangong Jingming.
"Okay, I have no objection. By the way, are you guys here for a duel as well?" Nangong Jingming nodded slightly in agreement, then turned his gaze to the other team and asked. His eyes were full of scrutiny, trying to discern their thoughts from their expressions.
"Yes, but we're not the only team that wants a one-on-one fight," the captain of the other team stepped forward and said with a smile. His smile held a hint of provocation, and the team members behind him were also rubbing their hands, eager to give it a try.
"Alright, you can choose whoever you want to challenge. As long as they agree, I have no objection. But please stop when you're ready. My people won't be bullied." Nangong Jingming straightened his back and spoke with full force. His voice resounded like a bell, and his eyes revealed his unwavering determination and trust in his teammates. He knew that his teammates were strong and resilient, and would never be easily bullied.
"Okay, we understand the rules," the opposing captain nodded quickly, expressing their understanding. As fellow humans, they knew that in this perilous interstellar world, sparring could enhance each other's strength. However, the real enemy was the Zerg. The Zerg were numerous and posed a formidable threat. They all understood the preciousness of life, and therefore would abide by the rules and remain within their bounds during any challenge.
Soon, the challenges officially began. Team Earth quickly dispersed, facing off against their challengers one by one. On the battlefield, shouts of killing and the clash of weapons intertwined, as each player gave their all, showcasing their ultimate strength.
After a fierce battle, the challenging teams finally left quietly. Though they were reluctant, they had to acknowledge the Earth team's strength. The Earth team members, both in team and individual rankings, achieved a huge leap forward, breaking directly into the top 20.
This astonishing achievement spread like wildfire throughout the assessment area. Seeing the Earth team's rapid rise in the rankings, many teams were drawn to their strength. Soon, even more teams rushed towards them, eager to challenge the Earth team.
Now, after challenging the Earth team, each team did not choose to leave, but instead followed behind the Earth team. They seemed to be impressed by the Earth team's charm, or perhaps they wanted to learn more combat skills and experience from the Earth team.
"Brother Nangong, there are more and more people." Su Siyi looked at the growing team behind her, a helpless expression on her face, and said softly. Her eyes revealed a hint of worry, worried that this would bring inconvenience to their actions.
"Our team might be too famous, so many people come to challenge us to single combat. We haven't had time to fight Zerg these days." Nangong Jingming sighed slightly, a look of regret on his face. He knew very well that in this assessment, Zerg was an important way to gain points and resources. It would be a shame to miss these opportunities.
"You are still thinking about looking for the Zerg!" Su Siyi couldn't help laughing. She looked at Nangong Jingming's serious expression and found it a little funny.
"Of course I do. There are no new Zergs, and we don't have enough food, especially these people who followed us. After they knew that we could provide food for the Zerg, they asked us for food every day and refused to leave if we didn't give them. You say, if we don't kill more Zergs, we won't be able to feed such a large group of people!" Nangong Jingming said with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness. He didn't expect that these interstellar people had such a strong desire for food, and were so "shameless" that they didn't want to leave after eating. What made him speechless was that these people also said that as long as they were given food, they would protect the safety of the Earth team. In Nangong Jingming's view, this was simply a fantasy. They were obviously stronger than these people, so why did they need their protection?
