184: Chapter 184 One Level Kills Three Levels, the Star Sea Trembles!

As soon as these words appeared, the channel instantly gained many new names.

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: ? ? ? ? ?

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: Wait... You, you are Tier 3 now?

Gerwin · Tier 2 Star Lord: No, just a moment ago he was still Tier 1, skipping directly from Tier 1 to Tier 3?

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: That means... the Tier 3 Star Lord on the opposite side was eaten by him?

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: Isn't that obvious?

A brief silence suddenly fell upon the channel, as if the connection was lost.

After a full dozen seconds or so.

A name that had never appeared before suddenly popped out.

Ryan · Tier 6 Star Lord: Interesting.

Seeing the level suffix behind this name, Xu Qin raised an eyebrow.

A Tier 6 Star Lord?

Converted according to the previous level chart,

the territory area was at least over one hundred thousand square kilometers.

Immediately afterwards, another name lit up.

Olga · Tier 7 Star Lord: Defeating a Tier 3 head-on from Tier 1? When was the last time something like this happened?

Ryan · Tier 6 Star Lord: Not in my memory.

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: I have been in this channel for a year and three months, and I have never seen it.

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: Me too. At most, I've seen a Tier 2 defeat a Tier 3, and that time the Tier 3 was fighting multiple Tier 2s simultaneously, which was the most unlucky state.

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: But a Tier 1 fighting a Tier 3? The area difference is more than ten times! How was the gap in military strength bridged?

Gerwin · Tier 2 Star Lord: The key is that the opponent's area showed "Unknown", indicating it was at least two tiers higher. Not only did he win, but he also skipped directly to Tier 3?

Gerwin · Tier 2 Star Lord: The key issue is whether the opponent was in a fully prepared state or a weakened state; that also needs to be considered.

Looking at the discussion in the channel, Xu Qin chuckled softly.

Guess away, just go ahead and guess.

Olga · Tier 7 Star Lord: @Xu Qin, can you mention the race you defeated? This is not core intelligence, just out of curiosity.

Xu Qin thought about it simply; asking like that made sense.

Race information wasn't much of a secret, anyway the opponent was already dead.

Besides, everyone was just drifting like this, unable to control their direction, and running into each other was entirely a matter of luck.

Even if they really ran into each other, when their borders weren't connected, they couldn't see each other's names and fundamentally couldn't deploy in advance.

Therefore, as long as one didn't leak their own troop type in advance, it truly didn't matter.

Xu Qin · Tier 3 Star Lord: Zerg.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the channel exploded again.

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: Zerg?!

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: A Tier 3 Star Lord, could it be Zelga?!

Gerwin · Tier 2 Star Lord: Zelga! Tier 3 Zerg Star Lord Zelga! That Zelga whose military strength was claimed to be two million?!

Ryan · Tier 6 Star Lord: The Zerg's ability to mass-produce troops ranks in the top three of the Star Sea. Numerical advantage is their core combat power.

Ryan · Tier 6 Star Lord: Being able to break through a two-million Zerg swarm head-on... What race are you? Could you also be Zerg? No, there should be something even more powerful than the Zerg, could it be... the Protoss?

Xu Qin · Tier 3 Star Lord: That's not convenient to say.

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: Fine, fine, fine, don't say anymore, I'm scared.

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: Two million Zerg, brothers. I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Gerwin · Tier 2 Star Lord: Good lord, it's true, Zelga's name has disappeared!

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: I am also Tier 3, but I fear encountering Zelga the most.

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: Once its insect sea surges up, it simply cannot be withstood.

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: It once fought four Tier 2 Star Lords alone.

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: @Xu Qin, how did you withstand it?

Xu Qin · Tier 3 Star Lord: Just fight to the death, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

The channel fell silent.

Gerwin · Tier 2 Star Lord: To be honest, the thing I'm most afraid of right now is that my drift direction is moving closer to this newly promoted Tier 3.

Solma · Tier 2 Star Lord: Same feeling.

Another unfamiliar Tier 2 Star Lord bubbled up.

Talik · Tier 2 Star Lord: Same, hope we never run into each other.

Herman · Tier 2 Star Lord: I came as soon as I saw the prompt. Killing a Tier 3 from Tier 1, is that true or false?

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: True, the Star Lord is right here.

Herman · Tier 2 Star Lord: That's simply unbelievable!

Olga · Tier 7 Star Lord: Being able to take down a Tier 3 Zerg at the Tier 1 stage shows that your troop counter-ability is extremely strong, or your tactical system is very mature.

Olga · Tier 7 Star Lord: Hope to have a chance to witness it.

Valke · Tier 3 Star Lord: Uh~ A Tier 3 meeting a Tier 7 is still quite difficult.

Seeing this sentence, Xu Qin naturally knew the other person wasn't up to any good.

Xu Qin · Tier 3 Star Lord: I hope that day comes a little later.

Olga · Tier 7 Star Lord: Haha.

Xu Qin's mood had already calmed down by this moment.

He closed the channel and opened the command panel.

"Alright, I won't idle chat with them anymore."

He turned around and walked toward the Combat Readiness Platform.

At this moment, the aftermath of the battlefield had not yet dissipated completely.

At the edge of the merged territory, Zerg carapace fragments and scattered skeletons were everywhere.

Xu Qin opened his inventory.

"The tactics were fine, a fat wave..."

Looking at these numbers, Xu Qin sighed sincerely.

That's right, if he hadn't prepared for battle in advance and continuously strengthened his troops,

winning this battle would definitely not have been so easy.

"Mineral Vein Guardian, forever the god!"

Xu Qin laughed out loud directly.

But immediately afterwards, he thought of the Zerg Queen named Zelga.

The final salvo of dragon breath from the dragon bones directly burned the Zerg Queen to ashes.

"Sigh."

Xu Qin sighed, shaking his head with a look of heartache.

Skeletons of the Zerg Queen level, if he could get his hands on them and throw them into the furnace, they would definitely refine good things.

But he didn't dwell on it for long.

At that time, if he hadn't killed the Zerg Queen with all his might and let it adjust its large army, the opponent would have been highly likely to turn the tables.

The battlefield could not tolerate even a shred of greed.

After all, military opportunities are fleeting,

and defeating the opponent's core buildings and Zerg Queen in one go was the most correct choice.

"We can talk about it later if there's a chance. Anyway, we're not lacking that bit of benefits."

Xu Qin adjusted his mood and walked in front of the Resurrection Platform.

Now he needed to deal with these overflowing thirty-two million Zerg soldier skeletons.

Previously, the Soul-Eater Battle Skeleton required two of each of six different races to produce an all-around type.

Now this batch was entirely Zerg skeletons.

"Let's see what comes out of single-race fusion?"

Xu Qin took out 12 armored beetle soldier skeletons from his inventory and threw them into the Resurrection Platform.

[Fusion].

Blue light flickered.

Bones shattered and reassembled.

The Zerg carapaces and skeletons intertwined and fused, emitting a faint crunching sound.

Twenty seconds later.

Boom!

A brand-new undead unit three meters tall crawled out from the Resurrection Platform.

Xu Qin clicked open the panel.
