Chapter 991 - 991 Only killing Only destruction (4300)

Chapter 991: Only killing! Only destruction! (4300) Chapter 991: Only killing! Only destruction! (4300) Undoubtedly, fighters at this level, regardless of where they are, represent the absolute high-end combat strength. This holds true both within the various Secret Martial Arts Worlds themselves and when looking at the scale of the entire Transcendental Realm. Take the Dark Hunt Organization for instance, an official transcendent force of the millennia-old Hong Li Empire. Even its formidable Hunters Association, with all its variety, consists of merely six fighters of high-ranking expertise.

Of course, the Dark Hunt Organization has hidden powerful figures aside from the Hunters Association; it also has other organizations. Moreover, both the Imperial Royal Family and the Hong Li Council have their exclusive forces. Altogether, they definitely would not be weak.

However, even so, they would not be a match for any of the Secret Martial Arts Worlds from the Northeast, South, and West of the Hong Li Empire. Each of the Empire’s four Secret Martial Arts Worlds had at least fifty fighters either secluded deep in the mountains or in their prime of life.

Those who came to participate in the International Exchange Meeting this time were mostly young and robust fighters, currently at the peak of their combat prowess.

Moreover, it was important to note that as practitioners of Secret Martial Arts, the fighters’ strength was considerably balanced. Speed, power, defense, skill, reaction speed, keen perception, lethal force, and sustained combat abilities, all belonged to the second tier. Even those who had mastered special secret techniques had ratings that could reach the first tier. They were undoubtedly a kind of perfect warrior.

If considering the forces of the Transcendental Realm, such as those Shadow Hunters from the Hunters Association. Casio had fought with them before and could distinctly feel that Shadow Hunters were severely specialized. Generally speaking, they excelled prominently in one or two areas, overcoming thresholds by relying on some bizarre and powerful abilities.

But other aspects were all weak points.

Their proud abilities could reach the first tier, and even be strong within that tier. However, other attributes were all in the third or even fourth tier. At times, they were barely stronger than ordinary people.

It was somewhat like the concept of a “Glass Cannon” that was mentioned before.

Undoubtedly, if comparing fighters and Shadow Hunters as two types of military units, fighters were undoubtedly more perfect, better suited for multi-person combat, and were units like the mainstay in a battlefield. They could either be placed at the front to charge into the enemy lines, used for side flank surprise attacks and decapitations, or even placed beside the main commander as a guard. Meanwhile, Shadow Hunters’ utility was much more singular, more like long-range output mages, who would perish instantly if approached closely.

If Casio now had a hundred fighters under his command, he could certainly clear the obstacles in his path and crush the thorns effortlessly! Of course, this was clearly the most ideal situation, which meant that all the major Secret Martial Arts Worlds supported and trusted him. Only then could he assemble a team of a hundred to follow Casio.

Undoubtedly, achieving this was impossible. He had just severely beaten Whale King Arlington, leaving him seriously injured, which was tantamount to fiercely slapping the face of the Yana United States. Fighters from this camp would not possibly cooperate with him, even if he exposed the Door Organization, it would be of no help. However, the remaining Star Blue Empire and the Small Nations Alliance might potentially have fighters interested.

But there would not be many, especially since there were originally few people, and being foreigners relative to the Hong Li Empire, they naturally had barriers and distrust.

Totally, if more than five individuals were willing to accompany Casio to the Eternal Islands, it would be quite good. The main force would still be from the Hong Li Empire, which was originally the organizer, having heated up preparations months in advance, and fighters from the Secret Martial Arts Worlds of the North, South, East, and West all came. Especially the Eastern Martial World, which had more than thirty fighters, nearly forty people!

When Casio rose up during the low point of the Hong Li Empire Martial World, he had become a savior in the hearts of the younger generation. Elders and Gate Masters of the various schools owed Casio a favor, after all, it was Casio who salvaged the face of the Hong Li Empire and turned the tide. Moreover, Casio’s significance as the first Boxing Master to appear in the Hong Li Empire in twenty years was significant.

He now had considerable prestige, and as long as he found a suitable reason that revealed tangible benefits. It was expected that many fighters from the Hong Li Empire Martial World would wholeheartedly agree. Some were attracted by Casio’s imposing manner, others by the benefits, and some also joined in for the buzz and to scavenge benefits. After all, if the number of participants in the event initiated by Casio was numerous. With so many fighters working together, what couldn’t be accomplished? Joining in to benefit from the situation, wasn’t that just picking up an easy advantage?

It was conceivable that many people held this mindset.

It might even make up one-third, or half.

But it didn’t matter, as Casio needed was to overwhelm with numbers.

This time, heading to the Ancient Ruins of the Eternal Islands, he no longer wanted to replay it as an adventure story with a few close friends. Struggling through arduous and perilous challenges to find treasure? No, no, Casio wanted to see a large troop advance, leaving nothing but barren land in their wake, unstoppable!

It was like exploring a cave and opening tombs; if you are a small group of tomb raiders, you are naturally cautious and trembling with fear. You have to be wary of the traps in the tombs and afraid of getting caught by the government for illegal activities. But it’s different for a Scientific Investigation Team; they directly cordon off the area on-site, with no bystanders allowed. With government support, police patrolling, and professionals sent from universities. Large temporary camps, digging, cleaning, transporting, and maintaining—a full-service operation. Open and legitimate, supported from multiple sides, it feels just like coming home.

The analogy might not be entirely appropriate, but that was the mindset Casio wanted. This ease, this confidence, this substantial sense of assurance. Thus, Casio, who was usually reserved and reticent, unusually spent a long time discussing and answering questions with people from the Martial World this time. He revealed some information that could be disclosed, even including some from the Dark Hunt Organization.
