A few days later
A huge black aircraft carrier drifted slowly over the entire sea of trees .
Groups of black dots hovered around the aircraft carrier . They were black Mechs over a dozen meters high and each Mech was wrapped in a faint defense energy field .
Blue and white light was projected from the surface of the aircraft carrier, constantly shaking and turning . The light beam formed would light up from time to time and quickly dimmed down .
As each beam of light shone, a small group of people would instantly disappear from the ground between the trees .
In the dark afternoon sky, the moon and the sun were blocked out by the tens of kilometers-long mothership . In the shadow of the entire mothership, it was pitch-black .
What was most surprising was that directly above the mothership sat a black-bearded, skinny man . His large black robe was flapping with the gale . He sat on the tip of the mothership and his eyes were overlooking everything underneath . There was a kind of lofty temperament .
"Wade from the Nine Owl Sect of Northern Yu Province . Invigilator Acarmont, this is the nameplate . "
A sky-blue airship suddenly jumped into the air just in front of the mothership and there came a man's clear voice .
A group of people walked out from the airship and floated in the air with the help of a flying platform . The leader raised the identity nameplate of his sect .
"Nine Owl Sect? You may enter," Acarmont swept across this crowd, looked at the young man and nodded .
One side of Wade's cheek had a diamond-shaped silver metal inlaid on it, making his overall gentle temperament appear cold and callous .
With the permission of the invigilator, the group quickly flew toward the mothership with the flying platform . They were then bathed in a projected-beam of light and soon disappeared .
Less than ten minutes later, another group of people also headed straight to the mothership on flying platforms .
"Sir Invigilator!"
A group led by a young man raised their nameplates . All of them were from Scarlet Snow Sect .
Among this group of people were Yiling and Joey and they were all standing behind the young man . There was also a powerhouse who was not weaker than Yiling but these people were all headed by the young man .
Acarmont eyed this young man .
"March from Scarlet Snow . You performed well the last time . This time, I will only take thirty percent of your resources . "
"Thank you, Sir," the young man's face showed a trace of arrogance and excitement . There was nothing abnormal about his looks except that the joints and knuckles of his entire body were unusually large . Even as he stood in the same spot, there was a strong sense of oppression which almost made people breathless . The long, shiny black hair until his waist was straggly and his whole person had a kind of overwhelming aura like that of an iron tower . It was obvious he was not an average person .
The people of Scarlet Snow Sect rushed to the mothership and quickly disappeared in a glaring beam of light .
At this time, in the shadow of Mothership below, people began to leap toward the mothership and would get hit mid-air by the white beam shot out from the mothership, disappearing instantly .
Invigilator Acarmont glanced at these people . Only the top geniuses of this region would be noted by him while the rest were only ants to him and were dispensable . He did not even need to collect their resources himself as the mothership's automatic system would do it . Only when it reached a certain amount would he see for himself .
Underneath the mothership, a small sect in a yellow uniform leaped up toward it and then a slightly brighter beam was cast down to take the group away .
There were more and more other smaller sects gathering behind this team . These sects were considered very small for this region . It could be said that this opportunity from the mothership would be their biggest opportunity to change their destiny . Compared with the Big Three Sects, other sects in this area had insufficient resources and lack the strength to enter Void Battlefield to hunt down resources . They could not even meet the people from the Mobile Business Alliance of the mothership . The only thing they could rely on was their own aptitude and will .
Once they were valued by the Mobile Business Alliance, it would be a fundamental change to their fate .
After the yellow team was a team wearing silver special combat uniforms . This group of people did not look like they were from a sect but was more like soldiers in active service .
They were one of the two strongest mid-sized sects, Silver Hawk Sect, apart from the Big Three Sects .
The whole group was no more than fifty years old but they looked like they were in their twenties . This was also a strong advantage the Energy Machinists of Planet Naga had on self-modification .
"Sister, it's our turn," a leading fat woman looked up at the mothership and said .
A petite woman standing beside her nodded . The two were the leading disciples of the team . At this time, they took out their flying platform, which required the consumption of energy . The gravity and traction of Planet Naga was much weirder than other places . The higher the flight, the greater the consumption of energy, so only the big sects could afford high-altitude flying platforms . As for the bottom-level people, they generally could only take the air shuttle bus or use the low-altitude flying platform to get on the road . Furthermore, poorer sects would not even dare to use it often .
At the rear of this team were some sparsely scattered Energy Machinists . Most of them were independents . Some were sect disciples who came alone but more were independent Energy Machinists without any sect . Besides attempting to test their aptitude, they had come to the mothership to exchange for advanced resources .
Each of these people were dressed in black cloaks and had their faces completely covered . Most of them were equipped with anti-detectors to hide the characteristics of their life magnetic field .
Beside one of the larger primitive tree stood a tall and sturdy man . He also had on him a black cloak and was looking up at Ghost Mothership, watching the shining beams of light and those entering the mothership .
The Silver Hawk disciples in front of him all charged towards the sky and were hit by the light beam, disappearing in mid-air .
"Yiling that group of people has gone in . Before that, the people of Nine Owl Sect had also entered . The Big Three Sects now still left Dragon Eye . After they have all gone in, it's not too late for me to go in then," Garen stood silently under the tree and waited .
Soon, another group of people flew to the front of the mothership . After saying a few words to the emaciated old man, they went in following the white beam .
Because of the distance, Garen could only faintly see the group of people taking out a nameplate . They seemed to be the people of Dragon Eye Sect . Furthermore, the leader of this group seemed familiar and was probably Dragon Eye's Nora .
"The people of Dragon Eye have also gone in," only then was Garen at ease . Back then, when he and Yiling attacked Dragon Eye together, Joey let off some people and did not kill them all in order to snatch his pursuer . This caused the people of Dragon Eye to see his, Garen's and Joey's appearance . Surely, now they were in their records . Now that he was alone, if he was not careful and was noticed, then there would really be nowhere to escape .
Garen ran forward lightly and headed toward the mothership with increasing speed . He rushed into the shadow under the mothership and mixed in with the group of Energy Machinists who had leaped up . Quickly flooded by a beam of light, there were also a lot of people around him . Those who did not leap up together used their own Experimental Energy Machinery to fly up and disappeared together in a thick beam of white light .
Whirr…
Garen only felt it was all blur in his ears as if he had thrown himself into the laundry drum and was flung about for a long time . His felt dizzy .
He slowly opened his eyes and his vision quickly cleared .
There was a huge white space in front with no visible boundary around . Only a giant silver sphere suspended above was clearly seen and it was eye-catching .
The giant silver sphere was constantly turning like it was formed with a huge amount of mercury and there were faint ripples on the surface . Below the sphere was a large group of those who had just been taken in by the mothership . All of them were Energy Machinists of various sects or single independents .
The people of the sect gathered together to form more than a dozen different sized circles, whereas the rest of the independents grouped up by themselves and were scattered around the periphery .
Garen did not join the Scarlet Snow Sect team but mixed in with the independents' team alone . After the incident of Joey snatching his spoils of war, he no longer had any confidence in the people of Scarlet Snow Sect . Joining them or not was the same . The passing of the assessment of Ghost Mothership was not a matter of having more number of people anyway .
Time went by, minutes and seconds .
There were more and more people in the white space . Another medium-sized sect and more than a dozen small sects had entered .
"It is time now," beside the silver sphere, an old man in a black robe slowly emerged . He was that invigilator from the outside, Acarmont .
"The access route is closed and the next batch will only be received after three days . "
He glanced at everyone below . The huge crowd of thousands of people all had their sight focused on him .
"The Ghost Mothership Northern Yu Province test begins now . This test is a one-star test with a total of five stages . There is a reward for passing every stage . Passing the third stage will qualify you to participate in the two-star test and there will be no deductions to the resources obtained . All those below the third stage need to hand in fifty percent of the resources acquired . No one is exempted . "
His voice was as loud as thunder, rumbling in the entire space . Everyone heard it clearly .
"After entering the test, all communication equipment are completely shielded . You have to be careful . Although it is not very dangerous, there are still deaths or injuries," Acarmont instructed plainly .
"Sir Invigilator . Everyone here knows the rules . You can go straight into the main theme," Scarlet Snow's March smiled and said .
Acarmont took a look at him . This man was considered to be one of the top geniuses in this area and had the hope to enter the Inherited Level in the future . He was considered to be quite well . For such talents, his attitude was slightly better towards them .
"Then, we will start the first-level test now, Modification . "
As soon as his voice faltered, hundreds of dense white obelisks emerged in the space below . Each had four sides that were mirror-like, allowing one to see their own reflection .
In an instant, countless streams of information from who-knew-what channels flowed into the imprint keys of all the Energy Machinists below .
The instructions for the first-level test were clearly explained right away .
Garen also felt that a subtle flow of information was faintly flowing into his Energy Machinist key . He took out the key and examined it . There really was the information of the first-level test .
