agile, fast, swift...
candidates with these keywords often have strong survival abilities, as most of the advanced skills they develop are related to speed. when others try to kill them, as long as they run, they can avoid most of the attacks.
mikaro was very lucky. on the second day, he encountered a candidate with the "fire speed" keyword.
his name was vaden booth.
he awakened two advanced skills: "swift as the wind" and "aggressive as fire";
swift as the wind: after designating a target for attack, he will maintain a speed twice as fast as usual when advancing.
aggressive as fire: when attacking, the morale of his army is high, and overall attributes are doubled.
although the doubled speed of swift as the wind cannot compare to the threefold increase of the sea god's feathers, it was fortunate that silver mountain port was closer to elgarale. after careful calculation, they would even arrive half a day earlier than du ge's sea fish pirate group.

mahamadu was originally fighting with antonio.
after hearing the news that the destiny sea chart was complete, both sides decisively stopped the battle and made preparations.
antonio was ranked fourth in the simulation field and was not in a hurry. however, within a few days, half of the total number of candidates were eliminated from the simulation field. in addition, mikaro and mahamadu each issued a bounty, so he immediately became concerned about his ranking. after some thought, he voluntarily joined mahamadu and wanted to go to the scene with him.
even if he didn't want to be enemies with paul, he had to stir up trouble at the scene and not let others push him out of the top ten at the last moment.
especially since admiral mikaro revealed his identity as a candidate, it made antonio very angry, feeling that he was being teased. he wanted to show mikaro a lesson, and it would be even better if he could push him out.
mahamadu was ranked third in the simulation field and had the same idea. the closer to the end, the more he couldn't be careless.
the two agreed immediately.
there were still more than 180 people left in the simulation field, and the variables were too great.
after the rankings were announced, the top ten in the simulation field were theoretically allies.
on the third day, mahamadu also encountered a candidate with speed.
his keyword was "running", and the advanced skill derived from it was called "thousand-mile sprint". he could run a thousand miles during the day and eight hundred miles at night. with the rise in attributes, the speed of running also increased proportionally.
when the attributes reached their peak, he could probably run at the speed of the flash.
unfortunately.
he had grown up too quickly, and running could not produce an effect that would influence the world's progress. his attributes were very low, and running a thousand miles was already his limit.
most importantly, he could only run by himself and could not lead a fleet forward.
mahamadu and antonio thought that their fate was sealed, and they could no longer participate in the final battle, and had even prepared to nurture the attributes of the candidates they had gathered, and then kill them at the last moment to maintain their own rankings.
but there is always a way out.
one "traction" and one "conversion", the appearance of two candidates perfectly solved their marching problem.
traction:
advanced skill:
chain of iron: connect different objects together, causing them to suffer the same damage.
conversion:
advanced skill:
energy conservation: can convert one form of energy into another.
thousand-mile sprint—chain of iron—energy conservation.
the cooperation of the three candidates perfectly solved the speed problem of the fleet.
advance or retreat.
the top ten are exposed; to survive, they must hasten their pace, trying to eliminate other candidates;
other candidates, in order to replace the top ten in the end, must find ways to hide themselves, grow with the help of keywords, and ensure they're not too far behind the top ten...
it has to be said, surviving on the alien star battlefield is indeed a profound art.
no wonder nan youlong had such a big issue with my rapid advancement...
wait.
the alien star battlefield spans decades, even centuries.
with only three thousand warriors in a simulation field,
how could others possibly allow the top ten to develop leisurely for decades, or even centuries?
the monthly ranking announcement is probably just a simulation field rule, a special setting to enhance everyone's efficiency.
in the real alien star battlefield, the timing of the ranking announcements probably wouldn't be so soon; otherwise, no one could play, and it wouldn't last for hundreds of years...
...
"you're tenth?" du ge smiled as he looked towards mans, who was also viewing his interface, and asked.
"i was tenth when i repaired the destiny sea chart; after all, the complete restoration of the destiny sea chart completely reversed the world's course, the impact was too significant," mans sighed, "paul, you're right, my skill is just an auxiliary, a combat-less tenth rank is just a lamb to the slaughter."
he turned his head to glance at jansseny playing with a crystal ball, shook his head, "if i can maintain this rank until the end, i'll be satisfied."
"you will. once your ranking drops, i'll smash the golden compass and let you fix it again; i never let my own people suffer," du ge smiled and glanced at him, "this time, you've helped me a great deal."
"paul, you can't be complacent," mans looked at du ge and reminded, "among the top ten rankings, there are three from the royal navy and four from the eastern sea pirate group. it's rare to see such a situation unless what they're doing can change the world's course. no one will willingly step down; we're most likely going to clash with them."
"these people are foolish; already securing the top ten, why still oppose me?" du ge sighed, "why can't they just wait honestly until i hand over the trident of the sea god to jansseny and end this simulation field?"
"who would want to be second if they could advance one more rank?" mans gave a wry smile, looking helplessly at du ge, "the elite preliminary contest also assesses the use of keywords and the ability to control the situation; you've disrupted everyone's rhythm, they have to hurry to show themselves!"
why didn't nan youlong tell me?
du ge was stunned for a moment.
wait.
he did.
the elite preliminary contest examines one's understanding and application of keywords, and the examiners outside would provide targeted training based on one's performance in the simulation field, specifically targeting bad habits in using keywords.
it's just that he was destined for the alien star battlefield and didn't take it seriously.
bad habits?
hmph!
who can use keywords better than me?
look at the fools they've trained...
suddenly.
du ge thought of something.
his publicly known keyword was only "happiness."
causing such a big commotion, it didn't seem like something "happiness" could do!
his head started to throb, thinking of two suitable advanced skills to cover up his crazy maneuvers in the simulation field, seemed harder than getting first place...
