Chapter 1582: Colored Mist
The distant Daoyu Galaxy, Tianyuan Star.
Under the watchful eye, the second round of spirit girl selection has finally begun.
Judging from the results of the Western Realm's training, it is obvious that Xue Qingling is superior, and in terms of talent and bloodline purity, Yun Shengchan does not occupy any advantage.
Therefore, the elders who supported Yun Shengchan repeatedly admonished, and cleverly made the two avoid the possibility of a head-on battle.
So the second round of selection tested the ability of the two to command the army, and the location was chosen in the Chaotic Void west of the Void Star.
Every year, it faces a large number of chaotic creatures, so the entire Void Star and the nearby star fields have been turned into military fortresses, which are much grander than the Void Fortress in the south.
However, compared to the Dao Spirit Clan, the threat of chaotic creatures to the Yuan Spirit Clan is almost none, and the area around Wangxu Xing is the only place where soldiers can be trained, and there has never been a chaotic creature at the level of deviant, so the safety is absolutely guaranteed.
What's more, the Yuan Ling clan also issued a death order, never allowing the two candidates to rush to the front to risk their lives, they can only sit in the center to command the army, from the perspective of troop and resource allocation, the conditions of the two are almost balanced, but the doorway behind them is very delicate.
Although it is the same number of troops, most of the generals under Yun Shengchan are familiar faces, and the orders to her will obviously be completed by two hundred percent, but there are few under Xue Qingling that she knows, even if the Yuan Ling Ling Emperor equips her with neutral generals as much as possible, it will take a while to run in after all.
It's not that some people deliberately stumble in secret, the main Yun Shengchan has been exquisite, left and right since she was a child, and there are few elders in the clan that she is not familiar with, but Xue Qingling gives people a sense of introversion and introversion, plus she always can't remember other people's names, which naturally makes people feel cold and unapproachable.
Therefore, popularity is Yun Shengchan's hidden advantage, and the supporters behind her are doing everything possible to maximize this advantage.
They firmly believe that Yun Shengchan will be the ultimate winner, because Xue Qingling's condition is deteriorating day by day.
In fact, the Yuan Ling Ling Emperor had already noticed the clues, Xue Qingling had been in retreat since he came back, and when he occasionally saw him, he also looked dazed, as if he had lost his soul.
He originally thought that after letting the two of them go to Wangxuxing, they would give a month to practice the battle formation, and then go to the battlefield when they were ready, but if it dragged on, God knows how long Xue Qingling could hold out, but it was better to fight quickly.
So from the moment the two of them stepped on the teleportation array, the countdown of twenty days began.
In this half a month's time, whoever performs better, the more chaotic creatures his subordinates kill, and the stronger the strength, then he will become the new Spirit Maiden.
Yuan Ling Ling Emperor also knew that this was very unfair to Xue Qingling, but he was very hesitant and didn't know who to choose.
Choosing Yun Shengchan means that he has completely given up on Yun Mengdie, and the Yuanling Clan will still be a pool of stagnant water in the future, and there will be no substantial changes.
And choosing Xue Qingling means that he will offend a huge group of elders, and the already rotten Yuan Spirit Clan will be on the verge of collapse.
Standing at such a critical crossroads, he cannot afford to be careless.
Change, or change?
No one could tell him the answer.
Therefore, the Yuan Ling Ling Emperor will inevitably be infected with a bit of a gambler's thoughts, if under such a disadvantage, Xue Qingling can still create a miracle, that is to gamble on the fate of the first family, and give Yun Mengdie a chance to change the world?
After all, it was also his best daughter.
……
"Commander, except for the seventh battalion, all the other personnel are here, and they can go to the Chaos Void at any time!"
A black-armored man with a square face and a heroic face respectfully reported.
Xue Qingling stared at his face, faintly feeling that this person was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember the other party's name.
"This is the division general. As soon as an elder saw Xue Qingling's confused expression, he hurriedly said.
Xue Qingling nodded, she felt that the elder beside her was also very familiar, as if there was a word Pu in her surname or in her name, ah, this feeling of not being able to remember anything was really terrible.
"What's going on in the Seventh Battalion?" Xue Qingling forcibly raised his spirit.
The senior general raised his head in a little surprise and said tentatively: "Commander, didn't I report to you before?" The commander of the seventh battalion was seriously injured by a chaotic creature before, and the others couldn't convince the people, so they simply let them stay in the fortress. ”
"Oh, that's it......" Xue Qingling rubbed her eyebrows, feeling more and more sleepy.
Originally, she just couldn't remember the names of people and places, and things could still be sorted out, but now, it seems that all her memories are seriously declining.
"Time is limited, so if the number of people is counted correctly, let's go. Xue Qingling struggled to stay awake.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that Xue Qingling was a little strange, but since she had always been calm and calm, it was difficult for them to guess what was wrong.
Fortunately, after everyone went to the Chaos Void one after another, Xue Qingling seemed to have entered a state and began to command the battle formation in an orderly manner, plus there were special elders reminding her of the names of the generals, so there would not be too much mistake.
"Newspaper - The No. 9 space probe found a large number of sharp-beaked eagles, about three miles away from our first battalion team, estimated at three thousand. ”
"Newspaper - The No. 6 space probe found more than 100 facelings, the peak strength of the leader's realm soul, four stars away from our third battalion pioneer team. ”
The battle reports came from bottom to top, and Xue Qingling was like a sophisticated computing machine, making the most meticulous arrangements without any disorder.
How many people formed what battle formation, from what direction, how others cooperated, and what kind of damage could be roughly caused, such a huge and daunting amount of calculations could not constitute the slightest trouble for Xue Qingling.
You must know that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is almost impossible to grasp every detail, but Xue Qingling basically did it.
She knew that she couldn't remember anything, so she specially listed the data of all the troops under her command on a jade slip, from high-level generals to the most basic soldiers, how many people, what cultivation, and what battle formations she was good at, all of them were clear.
Before coming here, her retreat was not to sleep every day, but to integrate the information of all the chaos creatures currently known, and also organize them in a jade slip, ensuring that each chaos creature has more than two sets of solutions.
She can't boost morale or win people's hearts, so she has to use this stupidest and most simple method.
I have to say that this kind of killing is extremely efficient, although Xue Qingling doesn't know what the battle situation is on Yun Shengchan's side, but several battalions under her command are advancing into the depths of the Chaos Void at a rapid speed, and the results are rushing forward like a rocket.
Of course, Xue Qingling also calmly calculated the distance, and when they were about a hundred stars away from the fortress a few days later, Xue Qingling stopped her advance, because if she went deeper, the changeable spatial turbulence could easily scatter the troops, she was not afraid of getting lost, but those cultivators who melted into the void realm may not.
And this position is just right, occasionally there will be chaos creatures at the level of the Immortal Realm, but not many, with the defensive power of a hundred people battle array, it will never be overwhelmed at once, just a little bit of maneuvering, the masters in the battalion will form a small battle formation, surround and kill it, and then 100,000 military merits will be in hand.
Xue Qingling doesn't like to take risks, her style is steady.
Moreover, according to the reports of his subordinates, Yun Shengchan's side had a bad schedule, and he was very unlucky to encounter a large space storm, and many cultivators were out of touch with the large army, so that they were busy looking for people everywhere, and the military merits they earned were far behind.
This made Elder Pu and the others very pleased, if nothing else, Xue Qingling should be nine out of ten when she became the new Spirit Maiden.
But no one knew that Xue Qingling, who was sitting calmly in the center on the surface, was already at the end of his strong crossbow.
For the first time, she felt that twenty days was such a long time, so long that it made her feel that she would soon die in the darkness before dawn.
But she still tensed her nerves and didn't dare to make a mistake, otherwise the price she paid would be enough to make her fall into the abyss.
She is not only responsible for herself, but also for the lives of these cultivators.
Xue Qingling struggled to complete a new round of calculations, and just issued an order, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw some strange lights and shadows flashing from the space detector next to him.
What's that? Does it snow in the void?
Xue Qingling stared at the image on the detector with some sluggishness, and there were dense white dots all over it at some point.
It wasn't until an extremely anxious and frightened voice came into her soul sea that it woke her mind.
"Newspaper - The No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 space probes have detected abnormal spatial fluctuations, and the energy intensity is extremely high, and no less than a million cloud rune rats are frantically drilling out of the spatial cracks, and the number is still expanding dramatically!"
A herald rushed to Xue Qingling in an instant, and hurriedly said, "Commander, let's withdraw quickly! There are so many cloud rune rats, they are like crazy, and if they don't leave, they won't be able to leave!"
What's going on? These clouds ...... Where did the cloud rune rat come from?
Xue Qingling felt that something was wrong for the first time, but now she didn't have time to explore the truth, she ordered without hesitation: "The first three battalions retreat first, the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion set up a defensive line, and the sixth battalion prepares to ......."
Her words suddenly stopped, as she suddenly saw a narrow spatial crack tear open ten meters in front of her, and then wisps of colorful mist escaped.
The mist quickly outlined into a vague outline, people are not like people, beasts are not like beasts, obviously there are no eyes, but Xue Qingling feels very strangely that it is looking at herself.
Before she could react, the mist suddenly swelled and swept over the floor.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Several elders next to him were shocked, and while transmitting the sound, they fought for their spiritual power, trying to block the colorful mist.
However, all the attacks were like stones, and they only felt that the flowers in front of them were gone, and Xue Qingling was gone.
