Chapter 381:I Want to be Number One in Total Battle Credits!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Milky Way Ace Team’s new encampment.

The squads of the Silver Warband that had completed the killing mission arrived one after another to recuperate.

They had spent a cosmic year in the enemy camp fighting continuously. Not only did it make them physically and mentally exhausted, but the squads also suffered quite a bit of damage.

However, this was only a superficial loss. The true loss and the trauma in their hearts were even greater!

Half a cosmic year ago, an eight-star life planet, Yaozhu Planet, was discovered. Countless natural wormholes appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain, making them anxious.

They couldn’t wait to accept the exploration mission and hear there immediately!

However, the rules of the military camp were long established, and they could not be bent.

Although some of them had secretly made deals with other squads and arranged for powerful members to scout ahead, they had little to no gain.

Now, the killing mission had finally ended!

Some squads of the Silver Warband didn’t even rest. As fast as they could, they immediately rushed to Yaozhu Planet the moment they finished the killing mission, so desperate it was as if they had starved for an entire year.

The top three squads gathered in secret again.

Taiwu Squad, Ji Yanan Squad, and Heidun Squad.

The killing mission had ended, and Heidun Squad had obtained the squad battle credit reward, returning to third place.

Taiwu Squad, who was still in the lead, was the calmest and had the highest battle credits.

“The coordinates of the Milky Way’s super black hole haven’t been determined yet, but it will be soon. There’s only one killing mission left,” Wu Mohan of the Taiwu Squad said. “The mission of the Milky Way Ace Team will officially end then, and the total battle credits of each squad will be calculated.”

The Milky Way Ace Team was the vanguard elite team. Exploration and land clearing were the main missions.

The battle for territory with the devil race and the demon race was a long process. It might take thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years.

Naturally, the Milky Way Ace Team would not participate.

“I… I haven’t decided yet.” The captain of Heidun Squad, Tuyan Jie, frowned.

Everyone wanted the treasures of the Ancient Battlefield, and he was no exception.

However, if he accepted the last killing mission, he would definitely be able to secure the squad’s third place in total battle credits.

“I don’t want to accept any more killing missions,” Ji Yanan’s captain, Ji Nanlong, said. “My team members are exhausted. The efficiency of another killing mission will be greatly reduced. Most importantly, I don’t want to miss this last chance to explore the Ancient Battlefield and find treasures.”

“My squad is fine with either.” Wu Mohan looked at the two. “You guys decide. I personally prefer to look for the Ancient Battlefield treasures. Battle credits are easy to obtain, but wealth is hard to find. I want both.”

“You two are fine. I’m just afraid that the Azure Mountain Squad will catch up from behind and pull our squad down, taking third place.” Tu Yanjie looked at the two and sighed.

Ji Nanlong said, “The Azure Mountain Squad is not strong enough. Their battle credits are mostly based on discovery and exploration. Surely they will not accept the killing mission. Even if they do, it will be very difficult to surpass your squad. After all, if we were to search for treasures, we would also find natural wormholes.”

“I’m just afraid that they might be hiding something and will strike after the fight is over,” Tu Yanjie hesitated.

Wu Mohan said, “The chances aren’t high. I’ve seen the map of Yoazhu Planet. The surrounding areas have basically been publicized. Right now, all the squads are exploring the place. The Azure Mountain Squad hasn’t made a move in a long time. This is the last cosmic year, so everyone has an equal chance. Most of the time, we’ll be searching for Ancient Battlefield treasures and see who has the best luck.”

“How about this? If our two squads discover new wormhole coordinates, we’ll report it to you. Three against one. This way, you definitely won’t lose to the Azure Mountain Squad,” Ji Nanlong said.

Wu Mohan nodded. “I agree. Either way, our two squads don’t need any additional squad battle credit rewards. Our current battle credits are enough to secure the top two rankings.”

“Good! Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Thank you, both of you.” Tu Yanjie’s eyes lit up as he made the final decision.

Yaozhu Planet.

Ke Yuanqi, Lan Jian, and the others finally saw the familiar Silver Warband Azure Mountain Starship return.

Tears welled up in their eyes.

Their captain was so unreliable!

He had agreed to just go out for a stroll, but even after they finished the exploration mission, he was still thousands of light-years away!

“Hey!” Wang Ye got off the starship and greeted everyone.

“You still remember to come back?!” Ke Yuanqi placed her hands on her hips and straightened her back. She stared at him but did not look fierce at all.

Ever since she witnessed Wang Ye’s battle, she had lost both mentally and physically.

“Captain, you should at least bring us along when you go treasure hunting.” Lan Jian smiled bitterly.

“I didn’t expect you guys to finish the exploration mission so quickly.” Wang Ye looked at Ke Yuanqi. “Besides, isn’t it our tradition to split up?”

Ke Yuanqi was speechless.

“Did you find any treasures?” Yan Sanqi asked immediately.

“Some.” Wang Ye replied casually.

No one thought much of it.

After all, to be able to find Ancient Battlefield treasures in such a short time… Unless they had a divine point of view.

“Where’s Yao?” Yu Yuyu asked.

“On the ship. We’re leaving soon anyway,” Wang Ye said. “He won’t come down.”

“Let’s go, go, go! I’m bored to death here!” Ke Yuanqi was excited.

Let’s go search for treasures,” Lan Jian smiled and said. “We’ve earned enough battle credits. Next, we’ll see how lucky we are. If we can find an Ancient Battlefield treasure… Tsk, tsk, that would be a huge profit.”

“When did I say we were going treasure hunting?” Wang Ye looked at the four of them.

Everyone was stunned.

Yan Sanqi was puzzled. “What else are we going to do?”

“Kill devils.” Wang Ye said concisely and grinned. “1 want to get first place in total battle credits!”

The Silver Warband Azure Mountain Starship flew towards the new encampment of the Milky Way Ace Team.

The members of the Azure Mountain Squad who had boarded the ship were still in a dazed state, unable to recover from their shock.

At this point… They left?

Did he not want the treasures anymore?

Fight for the first place in total battle credits?

The captain… He must be f*cking crazy!

“Are you sure you’re not joking with us?” Lan Jian’s expression was strange.

“I’ve already accepted the killing mission, didn’t you see it?” Wang Ye said, “We’re the Silver Warband. It’s only a given we have to focus on fighting. Won’t treasure hunting be a waste of time?”

“Then why did we go thousands of light-years away? What were we doing?” Everyone ridiculed him in their hearts.

“Let’s get serious. The coordinates of the Milky Way’s super black hole are about to be found. The mission of the Milky Way Ace Team will end in a cosmic year, so there is only one last killing mission left,” Wang Ye said. “It might be a long way to get first place after accepting the killing mission, but there’s a chance to surpass Heidun Squad and get third place. You should know the difference between being in the top three and being in fourth place regarding the squad’s total battle credits.”

The difference was in the special rewards!

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

That’s right! They had a chance to enter the top three!

“But if Heidun Squad also accepts the killing mission, everyone will have an equal chance. We might…” Lan Jian hesitated.

No, we will definitely surpass them!” Ke Yuanqi was very certain this time.

Lan Jian and Xiaoyu didn’t know, but she knew very well that Wang Ye was very strong. In fact, he had even surpassed Wu Mohan, who was known as the number-one expert in the Silver War band!

After entering the devil race’s territory, they could just ravage the place.

“Kill to our heart’s content!” Yan Sanqi’s fighting spirit surged.

“The captain’s decision is correct.” Yu Yuyu nodded in agreement. “Rather than fighting for unknown treasures, it’s better to fight for an opportunity that we can see. All the squads of the Silver Warband are swarming to find treasures, resulting in very few squads accepting the killing mission. This is a great opportunity for us to overtake them!”

“Let’s go all out!” Lan Jian clenched his fists. “1 don’t want the treasures anymore. We’ll fight for third place in terms of total battle credits!”

Looking at the united squad that was filled with fighting spirit, Wang Ye nodded in satisfaction.

Very good! Very energetic!

The 15-squad quota for the killing mission was not filled.

Including the Azure Mountain Squad, only six squads accepted the mission, and almost all of them were bottom-ranked squads.

The first three squads would be rewarded while the last three would be punished.

As such, no one wanted to come in last. Not only was it due to the punishment, but it was also a disgrace.

The only one that could pose a threat to the Azure Mountain Squad was the Silverjade Squad. The latter was currently ranked fifth and still had the possibility of reaching third place. Naturally, they didn’t want to give up.

As for the other squads of the Silver Warband, they went to look for treasures.

They couldn’t enter the top three nor fall into the bottom three, plus, they had earned enough battle credits.

At the end of Ancient Battlefield Milky Way’s exploration, they would look for treasures. If they were unlucky, they would take it as a rest. If they were lucky… Wouldn’t it be nice to make a windfall?

“There’s a chance!” Lan Jian looked at the final announced squad list and was very excited.

“The only competitor is the Silverjade Squad,” Yu Yuyu said.

Lan Jian nodded. “Although the squad quota hasn’t been filled, causing the squad reward to be halved, as long as we can defeat the Silverjade Squad in the end and get first place, we can get 15 million battle credits. With that, we can surpass Heidun Squad and get third place!”

“The premise is that they don’t discover many wormholes, and we have to get first place this round,” Yu Yuyu said.

“No problem, right, captain?” Lan Jian looked at Wang Ye.

Unknowingly, they were already following Wang Ye’s lead.

“Of course.” Wang Ye smiled.

Third?

He had always wanted to be number one!

In the cultivation room, Wang Ye’s consciousness was immersed in the Void Bind Ring.

The ability spell mystical engraving flashed, and the mysteries of the stage 1 Clone Spell entered his mind.

Different from the cultivation in the virtual cosmic, the Clone Spell of the Void Bind Ring was performed with mystical engravings.

Through the mystical engraving, he could comprehend the mysteries of the Clone Spell. He could also choose to roughly understand the Clone Spell and release the realm energy mystical engraving to execute it.

Wang Ye chose the latter because the former was too difficult for him.

After all, he hadn’t even mastered the basic Super Star-level ability, the White Realm Spell, let alone the basic Black Hole-level ability spell, the Sole Will Spell.

The Clone Spell was based on the Sole Will Spell.

The supreme treasure, the Void Bind Ring, gave him the opportunity to learn in advance.

He could also cultivate the Super Star-level Realm Item Spell, though its effect would be much weaker compared to the Clone Spell.

After all, his attacks weren’t focused on illusions or control-type ability spells.

The Clone Spell had many uses.

Compared to the Virtual Image Spell, the Clone Spell was more powerful in battle and he had more precise control.

When his willpower and realm energy were fused into a clone, the clone’s combat power would not be much different from his original body.

But this was not what he valued the most.

The most outstanding part of the Clone Spell was its support for cultivation!

He could multitask and control the Clone Spell through his mind. With that, he could comprehend the paths of time and space while his main body was cultivating the evolution technique, or he could create saber techniques and comprehend saber intent.

The efficiency of his cultivation would double!

A normal Clone Spell would consume a lot of white realm energy, but he didn’t have to worry.

All the energy was supplied by the Void Bind Ring.

Furthermore, he only needed to comprehend stage 1 of the Clone Spell to assist in his cultivation.

Swoosh!

After studying for five consecutive cosmic days, Wang Ye finally completed the cultivation of the Clone Spell.

As his consciousness landed, the realm energy mystical engraving on the Void Bind Ring lit up.

A clone of Wang Ye that was formed from dark energy and willpower appeared in an instant.

Clone Spell, success!
