Chapter 922: Silentflock System (1/2)

Southside Weave was not very well known, and it had originally been nothing more than a prop for Endless Weave. However, after the border with the Technocracy had been shifted, Southside Weave had quickly become rather famous in the Outerverse.

The Dark Phoenix family, Endless Borders’ headquarters, and other various powers that had once dominated Endless Weave had all been relocated to Southside Weave. That, coupled with the existence of the border defense, meant that Southside Weave had instantly become one of the most important weaves in the Outerverse at the moment.

Endless Borders’ headquarters was located within Silentflock System, and Silentflock Planet had twenty two sub-planets revolving around it, each one representing one of the twenty two expedition crews that operated under Endless Borders’ banner.

A vessel appeared outside of Silentflock System with Endless Borders’ emblem on the hull. Within the spacecraft was Yang Hai’s crew, which Lu Yin had met in the past.

Most small crews would appear for the internal tournament whenever they had the opportunity to do so.

Yang Hai looked at Silentflock System, feeling rather emotional. He thought back to the time when he had first joined Endless Borders, as well as each arduous step of progress that he had taken to reach his current position. He had also participated in the internal tournament in the past, and he had performed brilliantly there. He had then been scouted by an expedition crew and had climbed higher step by step after that. Unfortunately, that crew had gone completely missing while they had been exploring a new route, and going missing meant death.

“Captain, who shall we send as our representative for the tournament this time?” a cultivator behind Yang Hai asked.

Yang Hai thought about it and replied, “It doesn’t matter, as the border defense pulled quite a few of the expedition crews out of the Astral Wilderness. If they send people over to participate, then even I won’t stand a chance. Just choose anyone.”

“Yes, captain.”

…

A similar scene played out within many other expedition crews, as the crews that wandered the Astral Wilderness were on an entirely different level compared to the expedition crews that explored the Outerverse. The Windflower Crew’s Vice Captain Mo was a peak Hunter, and he alone already surpassed Yang Hai’s strength. This was the level of an expedition crew that explored the Astral Wilderness.

Some people were unwilling to be left out, and they felt as if they had to participate in the tournament. One such person was Captain Shi, who had reinforced the border during the Sixth Mainland’s invasion. As his representative, he had chosen a genius who was heralded as someone who would shoulder the mission of an era. People called him Little Stoneman. He was a stoneman who had an innate gift of unlimited recombination. He was not human, though he could also be considered human. He was a very bizarre lifeform.

There were also some other expedition crews who sent out their super experts who had cultivated eight lined battle force, and some of the participants’ strengths had nearly reached the peak of the Hunter realm. These people were exceptional, and they even surpassed the power of the Outerverse expedition crews’ captains.

Those who did not visit Silentflock System could not fully appreciate the terror of Endless Borders. Although they were the one of the most peaceful organizations since they did not let themselves be caught up in various conflicts and simply earned money through transportation, their hidden strength would shock countless people the moment it was revealed. Not even Aegis at its peak could compare to Endless Borders’ power.

Just the Windflower Crew itself had two Enlighters. Captain Shi was also an Enlighter with a power level of 290,000, and that still was not Endless Borders’ full strength.

If these people did not dėsɨrė to risk their lives exploring the unknown, then Endless Borders’ strength would be enough to cause even the Outerverse’s Hall of Honor to feel nervous.

The Windflower Crew arrived in Silentflock System, and they immediately landed on the sub-planet that belonged to them.

Silentflock Planet was a massive and robust planet. In a mere glance, Lu Yin could see quite a few clusters of countless rune lines, and while they did not quite reach the level of an Enlighter’s rune lines, there had to be quite a few Hunters on this planet.

Lu Yin could not help but be rendered speechless, as Endless Borders had a terrifying amount of hidden strength. Any random expedition crew that they sent out would have surpassed the full power of the Great Yu Empire back when Lu Yin had first left Earth.

However, the expedition crews could not be considered as Endless Borders’ true strength. If Endless Borders ever revealed an intent to fight for power, then it would be difficult to tell how many of their expedition crews would simply leave the organization. These people had gathered under Endless Borders’ banner due to their mutual passion for adventure and exploration, and that was why they lent their support to an organization like Endless Borders. Otherwise, they would simply leave whenever they wished.

Vice Captain Mo had an innocent face, but in reality, he liked to bar hop and visit other similar venues, which was something that Lu Yin was unaccustomed to, as he was not interested in such places.

“Alliance Leader Lu, since we’re here, you should just relax a bit. The tournament won’t be held for a few days.” Vice Captain Mo brought two drinks over as he smiled at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin replied, “Calling me Seven is just fine.”

Vice Captain Mo laughed. “There are probably very few people in the entire Outerverse who can call you that, so it would be my honor.”

Lu Yin shook his head. The bar’s atmosphere was very lively, and there were many people around them debating about who would emerge as the tournament’s victor. However, in the end, most of them were confident that Little Stoneman would win. His image even appeared on the bar’s screens.

Lu Yin glanced at the pictures and was rather surprised. This person could not even be considered human, as he was entirely made of stone!

“I’m telling you that there’s not much point to the tournament this time around. The champion has to be Little Stoneman, as no one can break him down. Even if he’s beaten and broken apart, he can just reform himself.”

“That’s not true. I think that Brother Qiang has a good chance. He’s an impressive expert with eight lined battle force, and he’s a peak Hunter as well.”

“No, no, I think that an Enlighter may join in this time. I heard that the two captains of the Windflower Crew came back, and is there anything that those two shameless old farts won’t do?”

“That’s true. If they join the fight along with Captain Shi, then the rest of the fighters won’t even have a chance. We’ll just have to watch those three go at it.”

…

As he listened to the various conversations, Lu Yin glanced over at Vice Captain Mo, but surprisingly, the man did not seem to be even the slightest bit upset. In fact, he even seemed to be used to hearing this talk. Perhaps those two old men, Wind and Flower, had actually done something similar in the past.

“If Enlighters don’t join the tournament, then is there anyone else who you think can really sweep the competition without question?” someone shouted out loudly. “If anyone can answer correctly, I’ll buy them a round of drinks.”
