Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2453 Dajini's Weakness and the Demonized Shinazugawa Genya!
The day finally arrived: May 6th, a day that countless people were eager to experience.

Combat capability assessments will be conducted from today until the 10th.

For the first three days, only officers at the colonel level are allowed to challenge each other; only in the last two days will it be the turn of general-level officers.

8am.

The deafening cheers swept through every corner of the Army Headquarters like a real tsunami.

The solemnity was completely different from when they were taking the three major assessments of theory, physical fitness, and command.

The boiling fighting spirit almost covered the vast RL1555 area.

The consistently cool autumn weather simply couldn't suppress such a lively atmosphere.

Only the crimson ground beneath my feet complemented the atmosphere.

The same thing happens on the moon, which hangs high above the stars.

Both the Army Headquarters and the Navy Headquarters are centered around the Fortress of Justice.

One hundred spaces are distributed among them, expanded using the Seamless Extension Spell.

An independent battleground, isolated on all sides and top by a semi-transparent magical barrier.

Like crystal cubes embedded in the earth.

wrong.

There are even fifty dueling arenas in the sky based on island clouds.

This type of venue is quick to set up and easy to dismantle.

After it ends, immediately cancel the magic barrier and disperse the island cloud into ordinary fog.

At this moment, every duel arena, both in the sky and on the ground, is simultaneously staging a bizarre and incredibly intense extraordinary duel.

They were both majors who initiated the challenge and majors who were challenged.

Only by defeating the latter can the former be qualified to challenge the lieutenant colonel, a rank above him.

The swordsman's slash cut through the air with a sharp, explosive sound.

The raging flames and freezing ice, along with the thunder and gale-force winds, were stirred up by natural energy.

The muffled thuds of physical prowess colliding between experts were like the rapid beating of a giant drum.

The various bizarre and special abilities are dazzling and terrifying.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines.

They were surrounded by army officers and generals dressed in black coats of justice.

Some cheered for their acquaintances, while others secretly jotted down information, lost in thought.

This triennial assessment of the entire army's combat capabilities is of great significance to every officer and rank present.

It concerns future honors, military ranks, and benefits.
And amidst this noisy frenzy.

The presence of one figure was so strong that it almost overwhelmed the surrounding atmosphere.

He is 7.5 meters tall, which is as big as a building to ordinary people.

A specially made, jet-black coat of justice was draped over his back.

His bare chest revealed strong, rock-like muscles.

Two other arms, equally thick and long, grow from the shoulder blades and hang naturally.

The clenched fist contained a primal power capable of easily tearing apart sea monsters.

Her fiery red hair was spread out wildly.

His face was covered by a demon mask with sharp horns.

Only a pair of crimson eyes, gleaming with pure fighting spirit, were visible.

There was also a metal pipe, as thick as an average person's leg, hanging from his waist.

He swayed slightly with his bold strides.

It was Tsuchigumo, who was sealed away by Keikain Hidemoto for four hundred years, born in the Shikon Jewel world, but appeared in the Hyakki Yagyō world.

strictly speaking.

Earth Spider is the name of the entire demon race of the same kind.

However, due to his extraordinary talent and overwhelming strength, he became the great demon representing the entire clan.

He is now a lieutenant colonel platoon leader in the Second Main Battle Corps under General Douglas Barrett, nicknamed "Ghost Shark".

He used to be a major and a squad leader.

He earned a promotion by accumulating merits in the war against the Black Grass World.

However, he is no longer a platoon leader.

Because the World Government intends to use this full-scale military combat capability assessment.

A reorganization of the personnel composition of all main combat legions was carried out.

Simply put, it means that everyone will be transformed into a school-like organization.

Later, majors served as soldiers, lieutenant colonels as squad leaders, colonels as platoon leaders, and so on.

Moreover, they are all elite majors and lieutenant colonels who were selected through competition.
Tsuchigumo no longer wants to be a squad leader or platoon leader; he plans to fight his way up to lieutenant general and general this time.

He walked along the wide, smooth headquarters street.

His crimson gaze greedily swept over the fierce battles raging in each dueling arena.

His warlike blood gradually began to boil.

Four large hands trembled slightly with excitement, their knuckles cracking as they clenched them.

"Hehehehe~"

At that moment, a low laugh came from under the mask from the Earth Spider.

"This is so true!"

"This was much more enjoyable than the previous assessments!"

For him, while the World Government conquered the ancestral world, it also opened the door for him to a wider battlefield and to challenge stronger opponents.

I joined the army for no other reason than to fight!

He didn't really care much about military rank or position.

But a higher rank means access to more powerful adversaries.

This is what fuels Tsuchigumo's primal motivation for promotion.

Since the lieutenant colonel has to wait until the majors finish fighting before it's his turn, he can only wander around aimlessly for now.

Unfortunately, there are very few battles at this level that can stop him.

"Ok?"

"This place seems interesting."

More than an hour later, the earth spider's attention was suddenly drawn to that place.

Inside the No. 26 duel arena.

A human woman with long, light purple hair, wearing a blue striped short dress and dark purple knee-high heels.

On the spot, another person with dark green skin, a full beard, and dark red eyes was killed.

He was a major with horns on his head, a burly build, a face like a demon, and a spiked club in hand as he charged forward.

He was instantly frozen in place by exhaling.

The opponent's half of the court was completely covered in ice.

The earth spider recognized the latter's race as something called Dakini.

It is said to be an alien from the universe where this starfish is located.

That's why he remembered it.

The main reason is that these Tujini people made two jokes when they first joined the Army Headquarters.

First, they claim to be one of the three major mercenary races in the universe, a warrior race among cosmic civilizations.

However, their combat talent here can only be described as average, not particularly outstanding.

This has led to many interested people seeking out challenges from them.

Especially those officers and generals of the Meteor Clan.

Only after the initial excitement wore off did the Tujini people settle into a stable life.

Secondly, they have a very strange constitution; they spontaneously combust when exposed to hot water.

Although hot water is rarely available on the battlefield.

But once this weakness is discovered by the enemy, anyone can imagine what will happen.

However, Tsuchigumo's attention was mostly focused on the woman.

He could see clearly that when the other person exhaled cold air, a circle of icy blue magic appeared in front of their mouth.

The powerful aura that he exuded in that brief moment was not to be underestimated.

Although his exact strength is unclear, Tsuchigumo guesses that he should be above the general level.

"call----"

"As expected, there are quite a few general-level experts hidden among the colonel-level officers."

The earth spider, holding its pipe, exhaled a large cloud of hot smoke and muttered softly.

At the same time, they ignored the other people nearby who were affected by the smoke and looked unhappy.

But when they turned around and saw that it was an earth spider, their expressions changed drastically.

They could only suppress their anger and walk away or suffer in silence.

It seems he has already gained some fame within the Army Headquarters.

Moreover, these people may not even recognize the Earth Spider.

At the school level, most students possess Observation Haki or other abilities to sense auras.

You'll immediately realize this is someone you shouldn't mess with.

the other side.

Inside the Cloud Duel Arena, Island No. 106, which is located in the air.

With a deafening 'bang'.

Two bullets were fired from a double-barreled shotgun.

The murloc major opposite was about to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the bullet transformed into a whip made of flesh and blood in mid-air.

It instantly broke the sound barrier and passed through his right arm and left leg.

【Boom! 】

The powerful force propelled the fishman's massive, two-meter-tall body to slam heavily onto the surface of the magic barrier.

Upon seeing this, Shinazugawa Genya slowly lowered the gun in his hand.

The demonic state, characterized by a blue face, fangs, long, sharp nails, jet-black eyes, and golden pupils, quickly returned to normal.

"So weak."
