Caelan, at this mont, was unaware that adventurers from other races had already set their sights on him. But even if he knew, he wouldn’t be particularly concerned.
"Fine, let’s just go out and practice a bit, and see who can’t take it in the end!"
With the [Sacred Armor] now in his possession, Caelan was extrely confident in his own strength.
At this mont, his attention was entirely focused on the introduction page of the Battle Group Shop.
[Sacred Rings]
Category: Accessories
Quality: Unlimited
Description: Rings imbued with holy power, said to have once received the blessing of the gods.
Effect: Doubles ntal recovery speed!
The effect of this equipnt deeply attracted Caelan. But the problem was, the price was simply too expensive!
Caelan looked at the price tag of [1 billion points] and imdiately felt a sense of insignificance. After all the hard work to complete the tasks at the front-line camp, the scattered rewards only added up to about one hundred thousand points. He was still quite a few billion short of that 1 billion mark!
However, Caelan quickly changed his perspective and began to understand why the Ironclad Legion would price the [Sacred Rings] so high. After all, rarity makes things valuable, and it’s an unlimited-tier item.
In the end, Caelan silently marked the [Sacred Rings] in his heart and then started checking out other items in the shop.
The items in the Battle Group Shop were clearly of a much higher grade than those in the marketplace. Of course, the prices were also considerably higher.
Caelan even saw so extrely rare materials for sale, with prices all in the hundreds of millions.
"Looks like I’m still too poor!"
With a deep sigh, Caelan thought about it. Despite his imnse strength, he had no gold coins and no points to speak of.
What else could he be, if not a pauper?
Eventually, Caelan chose to close the Battle Group Shop. It wasn’t because he hadn’t found any suitable equipnt, but because he was simply too poor.
Besides, no matter how powerful the equipnt, it couldn’t beat a skill leveled to lv99999!
However, Caelan’s thoughts soon shifted. Now, he was considering that while earning gold coins, it would be best to also earn so Battle Group points. The ideal situation would be to kill a monster and earn both gold coins and points at the sa ti!
Thinking this, Caelan instinctively looked at the section in the Battle Group introduction that explained how to earn Battle Group points.
But the next mont, he froze in place.
Wait, isn’t the Battle Group supposed to be about monster hunting? Why is there so much emphasis on team competitions?
Caelan hadn’t expected that after just participating in the school’s team competition, he was now going to represent the Battle Group in another one.
This wasn’t mandatory, but participating in the Battle Group’s team competition provided the highest amount of points, as well as gold coin rewards!
It was a perfect match for Caelan’s goals.
But after reading the detailed introduction, Caelan realized that the Battle Group team competition and the school competition were fundantally different.
Simply put, the Battle Group team competition was more like a "battle royale" inside a large Instance.
Nurous races and powerful monsters would all be in the sa Instance. The team that could survive the longest and score the most points would be deed the strongest.
And the reward for winning such a battle royale competition was the right to mine valuable ores in the newly discovered Instance spaces!
For all awakeners, the quality of their equipnt was a matter of life and death. But ores used to craft equipnt were scarce, and most of them were found in Instances, where mining was extrely difficult.
The few simple Instances where valuable ores, like athyst, had been discovered were quickly monopolized by powerful teams or organizations.
To prevent this kind of monopoly, the human elite set up the Battle Group team competition. The competition was designed as a battle royale format.
Later, other races joined in, gradually evolving into what is now known as the Arena of Races.
However, the Instance in the Arena of Races was designed in such a way that there would be no real risk to life. This made it a common entry point for many beginners to experience their first few rounds of competition.
Due to the large number of participating races, even the Ironclad Legion hadn’t had great results in recent rounds, usually hovering in the top 10.
Of course, this wasn’t because the Ironclad Legion wasn’t strong enough; it was simply because the Legion’s real elites were all deployed at the frontlines, and the mbers competing in the Arena of Races were mostly from the middle or lower ranks of the Legion.
Other teams rotated their elites to compete, but the Ironclad Legion, relying only on their middle and lower ranks, still maintained a stable spot in the top 10! This was a testant to their strength!
At this mont, however, Caelan wasn’t concerned about the Ironclad Legion’s ranking. All he wanted to know was how many rewards he would get if he took first place!
Since he would be going into the battle arena anyway, he planned to crush everything in his path and get the [Sacred Rings] as soon as possible—it was his top priority!
With this in mind, Caelan waved goodbye to Marov and then disappeared into the Instance Control Center.
Watching Caelan leave, Marov gently shook his head.
"Mr. Caelan’s strength... it probably won’t be long before he doesn’t need us anymore."
At this mont, a slightly lancholic receptionist walked over to Marov’s side. Her feelings were complicated.
"Yes, Mr. Caelan truly is a very talented awakener."
Marov turned to glance at the receptionist, and after a brief silence, he spoke.
"So, do you regret it?"
"Missing out on such a strong individual... you may never get such an opportunity again."
The receptionist paused for a mont, then a smile of relief appeared on her face.
"Actually, being able to wish him well is enough, isn’t it? My Lord Marov."
"Alright, ti to get back to work. I need to get ready for my lunch sandwich!"
...
Caelan stepped into the teleportation portal and arrived at the central building of the Ironclad Legion.
Following the staff’s guidance, he quickly found the entrance to the Arena of Races.
The [Arena of Races] was a very special Instance. It was open 24 hours a day, and any team could enter and exit at any ti.
However, each ti they entered, the points and rankings would be reset.
This made it a dynamic competition, yet it fully reflected fairness.
