Chapter 299 Strength Assessment

What appears to be a satisfying "democratic vote," Tu Fu has already seen the clues from this distribution. Several captains had already discussed it earlier.
The vast and rich Coral Sea, with the largest area, is directly adjacent to the northern continent and the fleets of major powers. Naturally, it should be managed by the most powerful and prestigious sea emperor "Mingesha".
A half-god level pirate captain, who also owns the powerful Nightstalker that shuttles through various places all the time, naturally has the strongest power.
It is not easy to kill her on the sea, even the powerful countries in the northern continent have to give Mingge Sasa some face.
The Captain of the Ghost Ship manages the foggy sea not only from a position of power, but also from a business perspective.
Due to various reasons, the foggy sea has the highest unknown death rate. Taking over this area not only facilitates the Captain of the Ghost Ship in driving away the sea spirits, but also serves a dual purpose.
Captain Veed's territory is a major reason for the madness in the Furious Sea, as the area is filled with strange weather and sea monsters, resulting in a mix of different forces and the need for a figure to hold the fort.
Just right, Captain Veed, who is addicted to killing, can not only swallow this piece of fat, but also select more suitable crew members for replacement. It's not a bad choice.
“The remaining are the Ponia Sea and the Widel Sea (Polar Sea) in the north and south respectively. The Ponia Sea is located above the northern continent and borders only a few relatively weak countries. It is relatively wealthy compared to the Widel Sea, so it has become the territory of the Soul Queen.”
But the Weddell Sea is already very close to the polar regions, except for a few cold countries near the polar regions, almost no one comes. In addition to ice and snow and nine months of cold without seeing the sun in that area of the sea,
There are not many resources, no wonder no one wants to choose."
Tu Fu speculated in secret about their thoughts, and the four sea anomalies each chose the most suitable sea area,
leaving out such an area of ice and snow, not surprising at all.
"Hey, what do you think." Sophie quietly nudged Tuo Fu, with a suggestive implication in her words.
Tuo Fu pursed his lips, "Use your brain to think."
"You really don't have the intention to give it a try, it's the Arctic after all."
Mr. Winchester understood Miss Winchester's intention, and a year and a half later, he would go to the polar region.
If he could firmly grasp this area, whether it be for collecting intelligence and making preparations in advance, or as a tool to spread his own reputation, becoming the person in charge of the polar sea would be a good choice.
Four big shots who had already divided up the territory were quite satisfied with this arrangement, looking somewhat indifferent towards the polar sea, where no one was in charge of that area.
“So, lastly, it's the Weddell Sea. I wonder who among you has the ability to take charge of it.”
"Sharpshooter" Bellerin finally turned his gaze towards the seats below.
They divided most of the cake and naturally left some crumbs for the newcomers. This was also the main reason why the pirates who had made their mark in the Five Seas were invited.
"I don't know what the leader of Weddell Sea requires."
The speaker is the captain of the Heart Pirates, a crazy guy who likes to cut off ears.
Captain Raven, wearing a bird mask, also spoke: "Although the location is a bit remote, I am willing to compete."
"I am a native of the Waddell area. No one understands the polar region's climate and environment better than me. It should be me who is elected."
"Just based on you, an unknown figure with a class 8 ranking?"
"If you're not convinced, we can have a competition, regardless of life or death."
As soon as this position was revealed, hundreds of sea pirate captains in the Five Seas immediately had the intention to fight for it.
There is no better opportunity to make a name for oneself than this, the right to control all the pirates in a sea area, and even secretly negotiate agreements with some small kings of countries to collect protection fees and so on.
At the time when pirates were rampant, it was equivalent to the level of the chief of the South Mainland country.
It is also the best opportunity to take this career to the next level, and even to be on par with the other four legendary figures.
At one time, more than a hundred pairs of eyes looked to the end of the long table together, no matter how they argued, they should ultimately follow the arrangements of the four big shots.
"Don't worry, everyone. We will definitely use the most fair rules to select the most suitable leader."
"Sharpshooter" Beileman's mouth showed a calm smile.
Although the four maritime regions assigned just now had been discussed long ago, it did not prevent the selection of the person in charge of this cold and barren land in a fair manner.
In the cluster of blue smoke on the four King's chairs, the Ghost Captain finally spoke:
"The polar region is dangerous. It should be someone with reliable strength and a cool, clever mind to be in charge. Therefore, the chosen one must pass our trials."
"Trial?"
The soul queen, who indulged in desserts, repeated the word as if she didn't know about it.
Captain Mingge, who had been silent for a long time, looked around leisurely, and his majestic and deep voice rang out in the castle, clearly reaching the ears of every captain:
"We each set up a checkpoint, one for testing strength and one for testing intelligence, to test the qualities of the candidates. Those who pass both rounds of testing will be selected."
"Our assessment will not take up much time. Captains who are interested, please come forward," called Belerman.
As the words fell, the restless pirate captains couldn't wait to stand up and move to the front.
Their crew members dispersed to the sides, everyone eager for this so-called trial.
The captains of the Redheart Pirates, Captain Raven, and several other prominent figures stepped forward without fear and accepted the so-called test.
The Witcher, who knows his own strength, stood firmly behind Tufu, unmoved and indifferent.
“Why not, I'll give it a try as well,”
Tuofu looked at the two people beside him with a smile. As an adventurer, he was actually quite interested in this kind of challenge.
“Mr. Sparrow, this is no joke. Being the leader of a pirate gang in this sea area is not easy at all.”
Victor looked helpless, he really couldn't understand the other's thoughts.
"You are right, one should listen to the words of a wise man, it's better than listening to many words."
Tùfǔ shook his head with a smile, and slowly stood up, glanced at Sophie, "Don't worry, I'm just going up to have some fun, see what challenge it is."
“I believe in you,” Miss Winston smiled sweetly.
Between their conversation, there were already many people standing in the front row, more than half of the pirate captains, all kinds of hundreds of challengers, confident enough in their own strength to take on this challenge.
These people are chosen from tens of thousands of pirates from the five seas, each one of them has unique abilities.
Their immediate subordinates all dispersed to the sides, leaving only the four examiners sitting at the front, staring straight ahead at the new recruits.
"Give it to me."
Emperor Minggesar, the Emperor of the Sea, stood up and reached out, taking the sea god trident that Belayman had just handed him. In the instant the tridents connected, a fierce wind suddenly raged inside the fortress.
"Hoo hoo~"
It felt as though the sea breeze, mixed with a hint of fishy smell, was permeating from all directions. The chilling sensation rising from the floor made everyone feel the immense pressure. Captain Minggesar, holding the trident, spoke with a serious tone:
“You just need to hold on for one minute to pass the level.”
As she finished speaking, she slightly raised her arm and forcefully pressed it down again. The halberd hit the floor with a heavy “bang” immediately.
The bricks inside the fortress cracked rapidly, and the overwhelming terror was already attacking the group of pirates.
Similar pressure had been encountered by Tofu before, not unlike the power of the demigod Urti, and the force burst out along the trident.
At the first moment of the strong whirlwind, Tofu felt the whistling wind and the screams in his ears.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Some people in front could not stand firm and were hit by the wind, causing them to lose control of their bodies along with the people in front of them.
Within a moment, there were more than a dozen or twenty captains with limited strength, crashing into the wall behind at a rapid pace, looking very embarrassed.
"No problem."
Tu Fu, unaffected by the strong wind that stung his skin, opened his hunter senses and didn't move a step.
Seeing someone losing control and falling backwards in front, I just sidestepped the aisle.
But the dazzling golden light on the trident caused a terrifying sense of weightlessness to immediately press down on me, like sinking into the sea. My body began to inexplicably tilt towards the surrounding area.
A kind of weightless fear in the high sky appeared in the dream, Tuo Fu tried to adjust his breathing, he only felt his spirit being suppressed, and his legs involuntarily began to bend.
But fortunately, his strong physical fitness managed to hold on, he gritted his teeth and let his body adapt to the new environment.
Just a moment of exposure to the light and the veins were already bulging. As long as the body wasn't squeezed to bursting, it could hold on.
Compared to his adventurer's physical fitness, the captains of other sequences were not so lucky, especially those without forbidden items. Swindlers and dreamweavers, such captains were the most unfortunate. Their weak bodies were difficult to withstand the attacks of semi-divine powerhouses.
"Popping" sounded in a row again, and this terrible crush directly overwhelmed more than half of the total participants. Legs felt soft and fell to the ground, and half of the time had passed.
"40 people."
Captain Mingge seemed not very satisfied with the result.
A pale blue light surrounded the trident, and a violent storm fiercely swept towards the people present, as if the previous display of power was a mere drizzle, and now it turned into a thunderstorm with lightning and roaring winds.
It felt as if the dark clouds were right above, with thunderous roars and crashing waves, sweeping people into the sea, adding to the sensation of weightlessness just moments ago.
Everyone present felt they might be swept away by this massive wave.
Survivors no longer hide their abilities, and the extraordinary ones in the middle sequence all use their powers. The captain with taboos also ignores the exposure of his trump cards and tries every means to resist the storm.
Come out."
Tufu only felt like his whole body had been scraped by a blade, with a burning sensation of pain.
What's even more deadly is the suffocating sensation after falling into the water, which has already submerged people in the boundless waves.
He gritted his teeth and summoned the magic flute, relying on the music of the orchestra and the terrifying pressure to fight against the illusion, enduring immense pressure, with a chest full of hot emotions that could explode at any moment.
Hardly two ranks lower, he managed to withstand a serious blow from the half-god Minggeza, which was considered acceptable to him.
"Tick, tock, tick, tock..."
He had never felt time dragging on so slowly, with the sound of others' agonized cries ringing in his ears as he silently calculated the assessment time.
Until the last few seconds, the terrifying sense of menace on his body decreased, and he still maintained a steady stance,
This can be considered as passing the test.
Looking again at the side, the pirate captain who can stand steadily is less than 5 people.
