After saying that.

Mulan then turned her head to look at the surrounding sea.

At this moment, the black and red flames burning on the sea surface began to slowly die down.

Meanwhile, the surviving sea monsters, plowed by meteorites and flames, continued their frenzied charge toward Li Qingyu's location.

They showed not a trace of fear, but instead exuded an even more frenzied and brutal aura.

"Hmm... the creatures of this world don't seem like the type to form an army." Mulan crossed her arms and commented with a serious expression.

"The individual differences are too great; it seems they can only serve as a ragtag force."

Standing on the ideal bed, Li Qingyu was stunned as he listened to Mulan's words.

As for the military... he has one.

He still had an S-rank legion summoning card in his mind, but this was the ocean, so he dared not summon it.

If he summons one or two heroic spirits, he can still squeeze into his ideal bed.

If he were to summon an army, his ideal bed would be too small; they would all have to be submerged in the sea to feed the sea monsters.

[Crimson: Summon them if you want, it's fine. As the leader of the evil forces, Dark Mulan's army ignores terrain.]

The reason you think her skills are weaker than the husky's is because she's a commander-type heroic spirit; her skills can basically buff the entire army.

Bless...the entire army?

Defense increased tenfold, attack increased tenfold!?

hiss...

Li Qingyu gasped.

Could it be that this match is really going to start with an army summoning to destroy the world?

Does it have to be this exciting?

With Colonel Chu leading the way, I really just want to coast along and coast until the competition ends...

Just as Li Qingyu was gasping for breath on his bed, Hua Mulan was standing on the sea commenting on the sea monster.

Splash!

Suddenly, a wet dog's head emerged from the sea beside the ideal bed.

After taking a deep breath of cold air, Li Qingyu looked in the direction of the sound.

It turns out that the husky finally took care of that incredibly tough mermaid, Haiying.

Hmm...

It can't really be considered a solution.

Watching the husky, now shrunk back to its original size, dragging the mermaid's head—larger than my ideal bed—up from underwater by its dog mouth carrying a strand of hair, I was amazed.

Li Qingyu felt a chill run down his spine.

Unfortunately, this once beautiful and charming mermaid's head now has two large holes, one horizontal and one vertical, blasted out by the Eternal Dark Destruction Wave.

A line runs from the forehead to the back of the head.

One of the veins ran straight through both temples.

Inside the two large holes in the head, within the mermaid's flesh, countless tiny, blood-red tentacles were intertwining and fusing together, attempting to restore the head to its original form.

Grandma's...

The wound was horrific, but Li Qingyu wasn't actually that scared.

The key point is that even with this look, this woman is still grinning from ear to ear, her big mouth stretching all the way to the back of her head.

What's so funny? You don't even have a perfect figure anymore, and you still dare to be arrogant?

Mulan, who was standing nearby, also noticed the giant mermaid head that had suddenly emerged from the sea.

"Ugh, disgusting."

Upon seeing the head, Mulan curled her lip in disdain.

Then, Mulan raised her little hand.

Suddenly, a magnificent greatsword radiating black and red flames appeared in Mulan's hand.

It really is a greatsword, because it's just... too big.

From Li Qingyu's perspective at this moment, it is clear that...

Mulan, who was less than a meter tall, suddenly produced a greatsword that was more than ten meters long.

Li Qingyu was inwardly amazed.

Then, Mulan lightly swung her slender arm that was holding the greatsword.

In an instant, a huge black and red light flashed.

The mermaid's head, which the husky had been carrying on the water's surface, was split in two amidst a black and red light.

As half of the mermaid's head began to slowly slide off, the smile on the mermaid Haiying's face was gradually broken.

The power of that sword strike made Li Qingyu swallow hard.

As expected of a Heroic Spirit summoned by an SS-rank Heroic Spirit Summoning Card, even though the system information is rather bland, it doesn't change the fact that the item is SS-rank, almost on par with the dominant pets.

When half of the mermaid's head slid completely into the sea, Li Qingyu saw what he wanted in the half of the head that was still being held in the husky's mouth.

It was a crystal, roughly the size of a football, entirely light blue with a hint of gray, firmly embedded in the flesh and blood of the mermaid's head.

If nothing unexpected happens, then it should be the magic core.

That's right, the reason why the husky brought up the mermaid's head was because Li Qingyu had just given the order.

Based on his experience of frantically looting corpses in the previous match, Li Qingyu roughly understood that for any creature possessing a magic core, the magic core is 80% hidden inside its head.

Sure enough, this mermaid was no exception.

Upon seeing the enormous magic core, Li Qingyu smiled slightly.

He knew he couldn't just find a place to squat until the game was over.

Because in this world, there exists a magic core.

He must hold onto this strategic resource, which is of paramount importance to him, firmly.

"I have an army here."

Having made up his mind, Li Qingyu spoke to Hua Mulan.

After he finished speaking, he extended his right hand to Mulan, who had turned her gaze towards him.

At this moment, a card with a black background and white lines was floating in Li Qingyu's right palm, emitting a faint seven-colored glow.

......

United Nations conference room.

On the large screen in the conference room, which was divided into sections, a series of thrilling battles were unfolding.

Unfortunately, apart from a very few lucky ones, almost all the contestants who entered the competition this time were attacked.

The process was similar to the previous match, except that all the players in the previous match were attacked at night.

The attack on this match was brought forward; less than an hour into the match, five contestants from Blue Star had already been eliminated.

Of course, these five were all randomly selected players who entered the competition in the second round.

Unfortunately, 99.9% of the people on the entire planet Earth are ordinary people, so the contestants randomly selected for the competition are also mostly ordinary people.

Expecting ordinary people to fight monsters? This isn't a video game; it's not that simple.

However, although the battle on the screen was very intense, most of the representatives from the smaller countries present did not have their eyes on the big screen.

Instead, they quietly focused their attention on the faces of the Maoist and American representatives.

It seems that their expressions were even more interesting than the thrilling battle on the field.
