Sector Lord General

Cangniao Star, one of the eight major logistics bases within humanity's territory, also serves as a fixed transport point for the cosmic army. A continuous stream of cosmic troops is transported from here to the 'Outer Territory Battlefield,' its importance is self-evident. “We’ve arrived.” “That’s Cangniao Star.” Inside the control room of the blood-red triangular spaceship, Luo Feng gazed at the colossal planet in the distant starry sky—that was Cangniao Star. With a diameter of 1.028 million kilometers, Cangniao Star was an artificially constructed planet, a star fortress in itself. “Beep.” “Luo Feng, I’ve received a guidance signal from Cangniao Star.” Babata called out from the control panel screen. “The signal has been connected. Just follow its guidance to enter.” “Understood.” Luo Feng nodded. Whoosh! The Yunmo Star ship swiftly flew into Cangniao Star. ... The spaceship docking platform of Cangniao Star. “Wow, an F-grade spaceship, entirely made of crimson mixed copper. A ship like this would cost at least several million Primal Chaos Units.” A man in silver standard combat armor exclaimed. Just then, Luo Feng flew out from the Yunmo Star ship’s hatch, and with a casual motion, he directly stored the Yunmo Star ship into his World Ring. “Hello, I’m a staff member here.” The man in standard combat armor said with a smile, secretly astonished. “Judging by the mark on his forehead, he’s a Sector Lord expert acknowledged by the Origin Laws. For a Sector Lord to own such an expensive spaceship, he must have quite a background.” Luo Feng glanced at him. The man’s head, in standard combat armor, resembled a jellyfish, somewhat translucent. “I’ve applied to enter the Outer Territory Battlefield. Which way should I go?” Luo Feng asked. “Cosmic armies arrive in groups, but individual travelers should all follow this passage to the assembly point.” The man in standard combat armor pointed to a wide, transparent glass passage in the distance. “This passage is over 3,000 kilometers long. At its end is the assembly point.” “Thanks.” Luo Feng nodded. He proceeded directly along the passage, each flash covering more than ten kilometers. Moments later, he reached the end, which was a beautifully landscaped plaza. Over ten thousand people were gathered there, but because the plaza was vast, with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, the crowd still appeared sparse. “Hello, please rest here first.” A charming female receptionist with a fluffy tail approached and said. “When can we go to the Outer Territory Battlefield?” Luo Feng asked. “We need to gather a certain number of people; otherwise, the logistics operating costs would be too high.” The female receptionist smiled. “Sector Lord, you’ve arrived at a rather opportune time. The earliest of your batch have already been waiting here for 12 days. After all, individual travelers gathering isn’t like the armies of various cosmic nations. When those cosmic nation armies arrive, they come in grand formations. But individual travelers have to wait patiently until a certain number is gathered.” Luo Feng nodded. He walked to the side. The plaza had many alloy benches, and scattered around were many cosmic warriors intending to participate in the battle. Luo Feng casually chose a spot and sat down. ... “Hey, hello.” “Coming alone?” Two Sector Lord wolfmen, similar in appearance with manes on their faces, walked over. Luo Feng looked up, observing them with interest. He immediately discerned that both were peak Sector Lord experts, and judging by the marks on their foreheads, they were clearly acknowledged by the Origin Laws. It was worth noting that while there were over ten thousand people in the entire plaza, most were Domain Lords, with a smaller number of Sector Lords and Universe Level individuals. Universe Level individuals were actually fewer than Domain Lords, mainly because Universe Level strength was weaker, and few Universe Level individual travelers would specifically come to participate in the Outer Territory Battlefield. The mere cost of travel over such vast distances would likely deter many Universe Level warriors. Luo Feng nodded: “Alone.” “It wasn’t easy coming to Cangniao Star alone, was it? My brother and I traveled by spaceship and it took us a full twelve years to get here.” The slightly burly Sector Lord wolfman laughed, then he and his brother sat on the alloy bench opposite. He flipped his hand, producing a bottle of wine and three cups. He manipulated them with his World Energy. Then he poured the wine, and three cups appeared before them. “Thanks.” Luo Feng raised his cup. “I was fine; my interstellar journey didn’t take twelve years.” “Oh.” The burly Sector Lord wolfman chuckled. “I’m Klaris, and this is my younger brother, Buddy.” The lean Sector Lord wolfman beside him was slightly more reserved, nodding to Luo Feng and simply saying, “Hello.” “My name is...” Luo Feng pondered for a moment. “Madman.” “Madman?” The two Sector Lord wolfmen immediately understood it was just a nickname. And nicknames like ‘Madman’ were incredibly common, especially in the cosmic army where true names were rarely used, and everyone called each other by nicknames. Among a hundred cosmic warriors, there was probably one named ‘Madman.’ They sensed Luo Feng didn’t want to reveal his true name, so they naturally didn’t press him. “Oh, look, another Sector Lord has arrived.” The burly Sector Lord wolfman looked into the distance. Luo Feng also glanced over; indeed, another Sector Lord had arrived. “Now we have 96 Sector Lords.” The lean Sector Lord wolfman, Buddy, said in a low voice. “Departure will be soon.” “They always have to gather a hundred Sector Lords before transporting soldiers all at once. It’s truly... I waited twelve years on the interstellar journey, and now I have to wait here. My battle blade has been thirsty for slaughter for so many years.” The burly Sector Lord wolfman grumbled. Luo Feng chatted casually with the two, but he didn’t reveal any information about himself. Because Luo Feng knew very well that as a direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, there were plenty of alien powerhouses who would want to kill him. To be cautious, it was better not to reveal his identity. The Outer Territory Battlefield was filled with experts, and if he revealed his identity too early, the danger would likely increase tenfold or even a hundredfold. ... Luo Feng waited for a day, and the number of Sector Lords gathered in the plaza, intending to participate in the battle, reached the quota of 100. “Universe Level, gather over here.” “Domain Lords, gather over here.” “Sector Lord experts, all come over here.” The passage gate opened, and over ten thousand individual soldiers were quickly categorized. Luo Feng also stood up and gathered with the other Sector Lords. At this moment of assembly, another Sector Lord arrived, bringing the total number of Sector Lords to 101. This caused the other Sector Lords to quietly discuss how lucky the last arriving female Sector Lord was... she didn’t have to wait here. “Sector Lord warriors, you are about to embark for the most glorious yet most brutal Outer Territory Battlefield.” An Undying Being, radiating a murderous aura and appearing as if forged from metal, said solemnly. “However, you must understand that the army has its rules. It won’t be as free as your previous individual travels!” Luo Feng and the hundred-plus Sector Lords listened. “Before departure!” “We need to conduct the traditional authority granting ceremony for you.” The Undying Being said solemnly. “Authority granting ceremony?” “What does that mean?” “What’s it for?” Many of these Sector Lords quietly discussed among themselves via telepathy. Clearly, the vast majority of these individual travelers were unaware of the detailed specifics of participating in the ‘Outer Territory Battlefield.’ The Undying Being clearly knew this and continued: “Authority granting is to determine your precise status within the army. The army is a place with clear hierarchies; subordinates must obey superiors... so your authority and status within the army must be clarified. And how is this confirmed? Through your strength.” “Are we supposed to fight each other?” “An assessment?” A Sector Lord shouted. “Wrong.” The Undying Being shook his head. “Every one of you Sector Lords must have undergone countless training sessions in the Virtual Universe Network. The Virtual Universe Network will assess your strength based on your performance. This assessment—it’s very important for distinguishing your status upon entering the army.” “The assessment is divided into three levels: first, ‘Ordinary Sector Lord Warrior’; second, ‘Elite Sector Lord Warrior’; and third, ‘Sector Lord General’.” “Most Sector Lords are Ordinary Sector Lord Warriors.” “Those who can barely be acknowledged by the Origin Laws are considered Elite Sector Lord Warriors.” “Among a hundred Elite Sector Lord Warriors, usually only one can become a Sector Lord General!” The Undying Being said. “I believe each of you has displayed your strongest abilities in the Virtual Universe. If any of you haven’t showcased your strongest abilities in the Virtual Universe and are concerned about the fairness of the authority granting ceremony, you can enter the Virtual Universe Network now and unleash your full power. The authority granting will begin shortly.” ... The Undying Being remained silent for ten seconds, then spoke: “It seems everyone is ready. Please come forward one by one to receive your authority.” The 101 Sector Lords approached the Undying Being one by one. A blue light shot from the Undying Being’s armguard screen, enveloping each approaching Sector Lord. “Elite Sector Lord Warrior!” “Ordinary Sector Lord Warrior!” “Elite Sector Lord Warrior!” “Elite Sector Lord Warrior!” The Undying Being’s armguard screen automatically emitted voices, and each Sector Lord receiving authority also received a message from the Virtual Universe system. The higher the authority... the different their status in the army, naturally. Luo Feng watched this scene with secret astonishment: “So many Elite Sector Lord Warriors. Logically... ‘Ordinary Sector Lord Warriors’ should make up the majority among Sector Lords. Oh, right, those who dare to travel alone specifically to participate in the Outer Territory Battlefield are confident in themselves. Yes, most of them have been acknowledged by the Origin Laws.” The Sector Lords queued up, one by one receiving their authority. Soon, it was Luo Feng’s turn. The blue light enveloped Luo Feng, and a voice announced. “Sector Lord General.” Whoosh! This scene immediately drew the attention of many surrounding Sector Lords to Luo Feng. Even the Cangniao Star personnel in the distance, who were granting authority to Domain Lords and Universe Level individuals, looked over in surprise. Among these 101 Sector Lords, there was actually a ‘Sector Lord General.’ “Excellent.” The Undying Being looked at Luo Feng with surprise, nodding in approval. Luo Feng calmly walked to the side. The remaining Sector Lords continued to receive their authority. “Elite Sector Lord Warrior.” “Ordinary Sector Lord Warrior.” ... “Sector Lord General!” This again caused a stir among the crowd. This batch of only 101 Sector Lords actually had two Sector Lord Generals. Luo Feng also looked over... It was a young Sector Lord, three meters tall and incredibly muscular. Occasionally, the light bursting from his eyes was like two battle blades, making people afraid to meet his gaze directly.
