Chapter 1224 It Is Not Shameful to Give Up

"Hey! Wait! Wait-"

A shouting voice suddenly came from a distance and quickly attracted everyone's attention from the large virtual screen above their heads.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw a figure in the distant sky flying towards this side at high speed.

"Eight--"

"seven--"

"six--"

...

The numbers on the virtual big screen are still beating as time goes by. Judging from the speed of the man, it seems that it is too late.

Many people had expressions of schadenfreude on their faces.

When everyone received the notification before, it was clear that they had to arrive at Single Star City before the specified time. If they did not expire, they would be automatically disqualified.

This guy managed to persevere for so many days, and finally persevered until the end of the first stage. If he didn't catch up at the last moment, it would be a big loss.

"three--"

"two--"

A dazzling bright purple light suddenly burst out from the figure, and it had already swept across a large area of ​​the sky in a moment.

"one--"

The figure plunged into the area where the gathering place was located, and then the bright purple light disappeared from the whole body, and it fell from the sky like that, and slammed into an open space that everyone let out.

"boom--"

Seeing that man smashed a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground, everyone around couldn't help bursting into laughter.

Although this guy finally caught up and disappointed many people, it still made many people feel very funny to see him in such a mess.

"Ha, I don't know which country the guy is from. It would be fun if he almost missed it." Henrik laughed.

Norwell couldn't help but smile, only Pinto was still thinking about Chu Nan's question and didn't answer.

Chu Nan's eyes fell on the place where the man fell, but he frowned.

If he read it correctly, the guy who was almost late was clearly the guy he met before his fight with Prince Savonis.

It stands to reason that this guy is definitely not weak, and he is even qualified to challenge Glulik for a heads-up, and he definitely doesn't look like a guy who is always dead-headed, so how could he make such an inferior omission?

Thinking of Glulik, Chunan remembered that he didn't seem to find where Glulick was just now.

It is said that this guy is strong, and he is also a very famous guy among the contestants. As long as he appears, he will definitely attract attention.

Didn't find him, could it be that he didn't show up?

Chu Nan shook his head, denying his guess.

With Grulik's strength, even if he suffered setbacks in Chunan, he would never give up so easily.

Maybe there are other reasons for not appearing in front of everyone now.

"I think...I should give up."

Pinto's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Chu Nan's thinking and drawing the attention of Henrik and Norwell again.

Henrik looked at Pinto in amazement: "What did you say? Are you really going to give up? Be a deserter?"

Norwell frowned, pulled Henrik and shook his head at him, then turned to Pinto and said sternly: "If this is your decision after careful consideration, then I understand. You are not a soldier after all, there is no need He sacrificed his life for the mission."

"Hmph! He's clearly afraid." Henrik still couldn't help humming, looking at Pinto with disdain in his eyes.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Chu Nan shook his head and took over. "Pinto, in fact, not to mention the contestants of our Earth Federation, even the children of the royal family of the Declan Empire who bear great responsibilities have chosen to give up. It is also wise to choose to give up when they recognize their lack of strength. Choice, not everyone needs to work hard for a chance, right?"

After receiving the relief from Chunan, Pinto was obviously relieved. Although he was still a little ashamed, he was no longer as stressed as he was before.

"Thank you." He nodded to Chunan, then turned to Henrik, smiled and said, "Henryk, if possible, I don't want to give up this opportunity. But... I still have many family members who rely on me. Just living a pretty good life, and if I die, their life will definitely be the same as before. So I can't risk it, I hope you understand."

Pinto's words had all been said, and Henrik naturally had nothing to say, so he could only curl his lips and mutter, "Then you shouldn't come at all."

"This is the task assigned by the master, I can't shirk it." Pinto took a breath, completely calmed down, and his face returned to calm. "But now I realize that there is still such a huge gap in strength between me and others, and I can give Master an explanation when I go back. I believe he won't blame me."

"By the way, speaking of master, who is your master?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"You don't know?" Henrik and Norwell looked at Chunan in amazement.

"This..." Seeing the two of them like this, Chu Nan knew that he must have asked a stupid question, so he could only scratch his head embarrassedly. "This... I wasn't in the Federation for a long time before I came here, and today is the first time I know Pinto, so..."

"My master is Venerable Kanakhi, and he has mentioned your name several times in front of me." Pinto laughed. "Master said, you are very likely to be the most promising contestant in our Earth Federation to win the S-rank martial arts award this time."

Venerable Kanaki is one of the nineteen star-level warriors in the Earth Federation, and of course Chu Nan knows it.

"Oh? Does Venerable Kanaki see me that much?" Chu Nan laughed. "That's really to thank him for Ji Yan."

Now that Pinto has made a decision, the three of Chu Nan stopped talking and focused their attention on the virtual big screen above their heads.

When the three of them talked before, the list of contestants who passed the test in the first stage was displayed on the virtual big screen in turn. The four of them were naturally among them, and they were also clearly marked with their nationalities at the back.

Now the virtual screens are starting to show some of the arrangements after the first phase is over.

The most important information among them is that the second stage of the garden hunting will be carried out after 30 minutes of the standard time of the Milky Way. According to the earth time, it will be about 16 days later.

However, before that, all the contestants who passed the test of the first stage had to go to a designated galaxy called the Dark Forest Galaxy by themselves, where they waited to assemble, and then participated in the second stage of the garden hunting party together.

Compared with the laissez-faire attitude before the first stage, the Royal Family of the Declan Empire obviously paid more attention to the second stage. Not only did it introduce it in more detail, but also made it clear that the contestants in the second stage would be unified. Seems to be more organized.

However, nothing has been revealed about the specific content of the second stage.
