Chapter 87: The Exterminator and Preliminary Admission(1/2)
Chu Bai stood on the body of the Feathered Serpent. In the cave at his feet, the bodies of Yin Zhen, Lu Boran and Gu Xie gradually disappeared.
This was Chu Bai's most difficult battle since his debut, but fortunately in the end he defeated the other three and won.
In the distance, the bell tower of Hiiragi Capital rang with a mighty bell. As the bells gradually dissipated, the Hiiragi Capital in front of everyone gradually distorted into a phantom.
The Key of Heaven scepter in Chu Bai's hand suddenly became cold.
When he came back to his senses, his consciousness had returned to his body in the audience.
"The performance has come to an end, and it's time for me to leave." Yu Chijing and Master Xuhua stood up, bowed slightly to the Scarlet Queen, and then exited the arena with the leaders of other cities' Awakeners as spectators.
The Scarlet Queen nodded to them, and her figure flashed, appearing on the Soul Pillar in the center of the arena. A red scepter was slowly rising from it, and was held by the Scarlet Queen.
She looked at the teams present and said: "The baptisms will begin next. I will assign baptisms according to the performance values of your respective teams. Please accept it well."
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of rich red lights rose from the scepter of the Key to Heaven, covering Chu Bai and others in the audience.
After experiencing the Pillar of Soul, everyone was extremely mentally exhausted. After being exposed to the red light, they immediately fell into a drowsy sleep.
Chu Bai's consciousness sank into a dark space, and the dark curtain like a curtain suddenly opened, revealing a door.
Chu Bai hesitated for a moment and then pushed the door open.
A wide space like a library appeared in front of Chu Bai, surrounded by neat bookshelves. Looking around, they were all filled with thick tomes.
Scarlet Archbishop Wingody is standing next to a desk, and sitting on the chair behind the desk is the Scarlet Queen.
"This is... the great library of the Scarlet City?" Chu Bai heard Wengodi mention the great library of the Scarlet City, and the first impression came to his mind when he saw this place.
"This is your consciousness space, so there is no entity, it is just a projection of the big library." The Scarlet Queen said.
"The Queen came here specifically to give me a reward, right?" Chu Bai smiled and rubbed his hands, scanning the entire library without treating himself as an outsider.
"That's right, the four of you are the main combat force in killing the Quetzalcoatl. I will give you additional rewards besides baptism. This is what you deserve." The Scarlet Queen smiled.
"Yin Zhen, Lu Boran and Gu Zhenxing are also there. Could it be that the extra rewards are the collections in the big library?" Chu Bai asked.
"I have asked Wengodi to choose the most suitable rewards for the four of you. Of course, if you are not satisfied, you can also make your own requests."
The Scarlet Queen waved her hand and asked Wingody to place the things he had prepared on the table.
The first item was an incomplete broken sword. Dark golden emblems and decorations were faintly visible on the mottled sword, giving it a strong sense of time.
"This is the sword of a former king of our clan when he was young. It was once an S-level relic item. When he was promoted to the fifth level, he began to recast this sword and promoted it to a king-level item. Unfortunately,
It failed, and in the end the quality dropped, falling to grade A."
The Scarlet Queen was a heavyweight when she struck out, and Chu Bai couldn't move his eyes away from this big sword.
But there is more than one good thing.
The second thing is a page of light yellow paper with black and red text intertwined, and there is a faint and chilling murderous atmosphere on it.
"This is..."
Chu Bai's eyes immediately moved away from the big sword and stared closely at the extremely thin-looking paper.
The dense writing on the paper was like a black hole, making it difficult for Chu Bai to look away.
The Scarlet Queen rubbed the page with her fingers and said: "This page does not come from the Scarlet Clan, but from the previous civilization. It records a rare career advancement path, which is the second-level profession 'Destroyer', and the third-level profession 'Destroyer'.
The extraordinary materials and promotion rituals required for the first-level profession 'Asura' and the fourth-level profession 'Sin-Eater'.
No matter what kind of first-level profession you are, as long as you gather the extraordinary materials required for promotion, you can be promoted to a destroyer.
I have prepared the extraordinary materials for promotion to the second-level exterminator, but there are still two materials that I cannot collect, so you need to do it yourself.
You also need to collect the extraordinary materials for the next two advanced professions by yourself."
Chu Bai swallowed his saliva. Among the many advanced professions in Dongxia, he had never heard of the profession of exterminator, but just because it was worthy of the Scarlet Queen's collection and the aura it exuded, it was quite worthy.
Attractive.
"You shouldn't give them both to me, right?"
"You want them all? That's not possible. You can only choose one of the two." The Scarlet Queen looked at Chu Bai who smiled awkwardly, and pointed to the broken sword and paper on the desk, "It takes a long time, you can think carefully."
Chu Bai's eyes wandered uncertainly on the great sword and the promotion path.
After a long while, Chu Bai finally made up his mind. Compared with the big sword, it is better to choose a rare promotion path with a brighter future.
He asked: "What are the two materials that are still needed to advance to become a destroyer? Are they rare? Even the queen can't collect them."
"It is rare to say that it is rare, but for some people, it is not rare." The Scarlet Queen said: "The two materials that are still lacking are related to the Awakened Ones themselves. These two materials are the 'Killing Heart of All Living Beings'."
' and 'compassionate heart to save all living beings'.
Only those who possess these two determinations and wills at the same time and are unswerving in them can successfully advance to become a annihilator."
Chu Bai frowned when he heard this.
The Scarlet Queen looked directly at Chu Bai, and she asked: "Chu Bai, why did you embark on the path of the awakened person?"
Chu Bai recalled his mediocre life in his previous life and the years he spent in Hiiragi City, and some memories came to mind.
"The reason why I embarked on the path of an awakened person is just for some very vulgar things. I want to have wealth and power, and want to live a better life than now, so I want to become an awakened person.
I want to have the power to control the world, I want to have the most beautiful woman in the world, live in the best manor, wear the best clothes, be the most manly man, and live a happy life..."
As Chu Bai spoke, the expression on his face gradually became ethereal and calm.
He smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid people like me don't have the murderous heart of killing all living beings and the compassionate heart of saving all living beings. Everything I do is for myself, not for any living beings."

"Then let's change the question, Chu Bai." The Scarlet Queen put her hands on the table and asked: "What if when the world is on the verge of doomsday, all sentient beings will be deformed and transformed into monsters, suffering eternal sinking and pain.
And you, with the power to end the suffering of all sentient beings, will you choose to become an executioner?"
Chu Bai followed the Scarlet Queen's words and imagined, "Although it is difficult for me to imagine that kind of scene, I think I can. This question is like a button that can destroy the world placed in front of you. Will you choose to go?"
Press the same button, if that time comes, I will definitely press it."
"Even if your relatives, your friends, your closest people, the people you love and admire you all die because of this, will you still press it?"
"The time has come when pain cannot be ended without death, so there is no other way."
The Scarlet Queen nodded, "Then the second question, Chu Bai.
If you are the only one who can solve all the pain in the world and save the world, will you lend a helping hand to the innocent people who ask you for help?"
Chu Bai scratched his head in distress: "Why this assumption? If it were me, I can't even live my own life well, but if that time comes, maybe I will do it.
After all, this assumption is based on what I can do. If I can’t do it anyway, I won’t do it.”
"That is to say, when the world needs you, you will become a hero, right?"
Chu Bai raised his head in trance and looked at the circular dome of the great library.
As if in a hallucination, Chu Bai saw the small bedroom where he lived in his previous life. There was a bookshelf inside, which was filled with various royal comics and fantasy magazines that Chu Bai had collected when he was a child.
"Maybe, I remember that I also wanted to be a hero." Chu Bai said.
"Then you should be quite suitable for this career advancement path."
The Scarlet Queen lightly tapped the table, and the piece of paper recording the promotion path floated up and slapped Chu Bai on the forehead.
Chu Bai only felt that the world was spinning for a moment, a large amount of information poured into his mind, and then he lost consciousness.
The great library was shattered and disillusioned. In the vast space of consciousness, Chu Bai’s tired consciousness fell into a deep sleep, gradually washed away by the power of baptism.
By the time Chu Bai woke up, it was already a week later.
Within a week, the prototype of the Scarlet City has begun to take shape.
The gate to the Scarlet Arena has been closed, and it has been moved back to the Scarlet Capital by the Scarlet Queen and others.
After a short trial, the teams gathered from various cities camped and barbecued in the wilderness outside the city, getting drunk with each other.
Although everyone in Hiiragi City was trying to hurt each other, everyone had a happy gathering after returning to reality.
The Scarlet Queen's baptism will not directly improve everyone's spiritual power and strength, but it can improve the most essential qualifications for cultivating spiritual power.
Although the improvement will not be huge, it is still precious.
For everyone, no matter how well they perform in Hiroyuki City, they all make money, but those who perform well earn more.
In front of the camping tent, Chu Bai's team and Lin Chen's team were sitting around the campfire, while Li Yan and Si Jiaxue were busy grilling meat.
Their technique is really not that good, and the meat they grill is almost overcooked and even a little burnt.
But Li Qingning still ate it with gusto.
Chu Bai was drinking cold beer while counting the extraordinary materials in his backpack.
In addition to those two illusory gadgets, the Scarlet Queen prepared all the materials needed for him to be promoted to a destroyer. The quantity was not large, and a backpack was enough.
But if converted into Dongxia coins, the extraordinary materials of this backpack are worth tens of millions.
The rarer the career advancement path, the rarer and more expensive the extraordinary materials required.
This is just the upgrade from the first level to the second level. When the second level is upgraded to the third level, and the third level is upgraded to the fourth level, the value of the extraordinary materials required will be even higher.
"Still poor!" Chu Bai lamented.
To be continued...
