Chapter 100: Chapter 100: National Live Stream, Aiden’s Speech, Heart-Striking
In the room, Aiden summoned Faye and gave her some Epic materials.
Then he started to check Faye’s information.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon
tier: Mythic
Name: Faye
Level: level 4
Status: Healthy
HP: 13,000 points
Stats: Strength 650, Constitution 700, Spirit 650, Agility 480
Skills: Devour (Mythic, exclusive skill), Draconic Pressure (Mythic, passive skill), Absolute Defense (Mythic, exclusive skill).]
“Wow, so fast. No wonder she’s from the Mythic Pure-blood Dragon Clan. Her total stats have already reached 2,480 points.”
Aiden was very satisfied. The important thing was that Faye was only level 4, but her total stats had already surpassed an Epic Reclasser at level 20.
But of course, Aiden had also used a lot of precious materials recently. Faye was really hungry — it felt like she was never full, like a bottomless pit.
But it was all worth it. Right now, what he needed most was to quickly improve his strength.
Aiden had already gotten skills related to the soul. And soon, the empire’s strongest Artificer, Sean, would finish repairing the Legendary staff.
“Still need one more skill to break the control. Also, the rest of my gear needs upgrading. Ideally, everything should be Epic.”
“The Epic Demon’s Heart is a very important resource. Now that my name is well-known, I can use it to trade for some necessary supplies.”
Aiden’s mind was working fast. His top priority right now was to get the Twin Coin, the skill that could change his luck.
Also, he needed to finish the special quest Bane of All Races before reaching Fifth Class.
After carefully checking his loot, his rewards, and planning what to do next, Aiden lay down on the bed and quickly fell into deep sleep.
…
At night, all the people of the Great Shaw Empire had already made their plans.
Some were gathered in taverns, while others were at home, watching the live TV broadcast with their family and friends.
In The White City, all the residents had gathered in the square, surrounding Aiden’s statue and watching the big screen around them.
A little boy with one arm was holding his grandpa’s hand tightly with his left hand. When he saw Aiden on the TV, he immediately shouted with excitement.
“Grandpa, grandpa, it’s General Aiden!”
“Look, grandpa, General Aiden is here! He’s so cool! I heard people say there’s only one top student in the national College Testing, and General Aiden is the strongest person in the country!”
The boy’s grandpa smiled and patted the boy’s head, correcting him.
“There’s really only one top student in the national College Testing. But a top student as strong as General Aiden has never appeared before, and probably won’t appear again.”
The boy opened his mouth wide and whispered.”Wow, so strong!”
“Grandpa, when I grow up, I’ll be strong too. I asked General Aiden, and he said yes!”
When Aiden appeared on the live TV broadcast, most of the people in the Great Shaw Empire felt excited and full of spirit.
Many of them knew they were witnessing history.
From now on, whenever people talk about the College Testing, they will definitely remember Aiden’s name. His total score of over 2,400 points will become something that many examinees look up to.
But right now, Aiden wasn’t very excited. He didn’t care much about the score. What he cared about was when he would get the Twin Coin.
For other examinees, today was an unimaginable honor.
But for Aiden, he was more focused on where to find a boss level 50 or higher after the live stream ended.
[Quest Name: Bane of All Races 1]
[Quest Requirements: Kill 10 bosses from different races, each no lower than level 50 (Currently killed: the Abyss Demonboss Karl, Slaughter Witch, Soul-Eater Demon Serpent, …)]
[Quest Deadline: Before reaching Fifth Class]
[Quest Reward: Mythic Special Item]
He had already killed 4 bosses from different races. He needed 6 more.
The problem was, any boss level 50 or higher would be quickly taken down by Reclasser groups. If he got there a little late, there would be nothing left of the boss.
“What’s wrong?” Vespera stood next to Aiden and asked in a low voice.
Her score was good — she was fourth in the national College Testing.
Vivi was fifth, right behind her.
As for Victor, his score wasn’t great. After all, he didn’t focus on killing monsters during the final test.
On Aiden’s other side stood Jade, who looked calm.
She occasionally looked at Aiden, as if thinking about something.
Soon, the Empress Eira, dressed in a beautiful robe, walked over quickly.
Maybe it was just a mistake, but Aiden thought he saw a little tiredness on Eira’s face.
He looked behind Eira and saw Princess Kelsey winking at him.
“Aiden, you’re really amazing!” Kelsey quietly gave him a thumbs-up.
Seeing this, Aiden’s lips curved slightly upwards, but he quickly remembered what had happened to Kelsey that day.
His smile disappeared quickly.
Not long after, Empress Eira began giving awards to the top five examinees in the national College Testing during the live stream.
Everyone was shocked about the prize money and the fact that the empress herself was giving the awards. But Aiden’s eyes were fixed on the coin in the tray.
Empress Eira slowly walked toward Aiden, wearing a relaxed and satisfied smile. She said.
“Aiden, 18 years old, from The White City. During the Abyss Demon invasion of The White City, he led the survivors to fight back and defeated the invasion.”
“In the first round of the test, he broke the Great Shaw Empire’s score record, getting an amazing 999 points.”
“In the final test, he killed two powerful bosses, doing things that other examinees couldn’t do.”
“Aiden scored 2,499 points, becoming the top in the Great Shaw Empire’s national College Testing. He also set the highest score in the empire’s history!”
“Let’s cheer for him and clap for him!”
Right away, loud applause filled the room. The imperial officials, staff, and others watching the live stream all clapped hard.
Even though he was facing all the people of the Great Shaw Empire, Aiden showed no sign of nervousness.
Empress Eira gave a small wave, and the live camera focused on Aiden.
She asked.”In this special moment, do you have anything you want to say to the people of the Great Shaw Empire?”
Aiden looked at the camera up close, thought for a moment, and then slowly said.
“I have said something a long time ago.”
“The people of The White City should all know what I mean.”
After hearing Aiden’s words, the people of The White City became completely silent. Their smiles disappeared, and they clenched their fists.
“Yes, I led the survivors of The White City to defeat the invading Abyss Demon. Some people said the war was over, the danger was gone, and we were completely safe. We could relax for good.”
“But I can’t relax. Every time I close my eyes, I can still see the people who died in The White City.”
“They followed my orders, even when they were dying, they used their last strength to try to hurt the Demon as much as they could.”
“Some of them, as they were dying, gave me a blood-stained thumbs-up.”
“Do you know what they said?”
“They wanted me to kill more Demons, so that fewer people would die!”
Aiden took a deep breath. A series of memories from the past flashed through his mind.
He knew why Empress Eira had called the live broadcast so quickly.
What he was saying wasn’t just to raise the morale of the people in the Great Shaw Empire. It was something he had always wanted to tell everyone.
In the crowd, Victor, who was tall and strong, saw Aiden’s red eyes and quietly lowered his head.
Jade instinctively tried to grab her sword, but she wasn’t carrying any weapon. She could only clench her fists and stare at Aiden seriously.
Luke stood far away, looking at Aiden with admiration and respect. At the same time, his own determination grew stronger.
James and Atlas exchanged a glance, nodded in understanding, and were a little surprised by Aiden’s sudden performance.
Many others, many people watching the live stream, had different expressions on their faces.
The only thing they all had in common was silence.
The entire Great Shaw Empire fell into a shared silence at that moment. It didn’t matter if it was the Sovereign City, Ironvale, or The White City.
The cars that were driving slowly stopped by the side of the road. The noisy crowds became quiet. Even the crows in the night sky stopped making noise and sat silently on the power lines.
“I told everyone in The White City that we defeated the Demon that invaded our city, but that didn’t end the war.”
“The war with the Abyss Demon, for me, started that very moment!”
“I’m not a kind person. I’m not someone without selfish desires. I get angry. I feel pain…”
“But I’m still a person. I can’t watch people like me lying in blood, having their heads torn off and their insides eaten by Demons.”
“I can’t imagine what would happen if I had a lover, a child, and I saw them become food for the Abyss Demons. I would break down completely.”
“Everyone, the war with the Demons has just begun.”
“If we don’t fight, we will die. If we don’t get stronger, we will die. Remember all the pain, all the suffering. The war between us and the Abyss Demons will never end, because the pain can’t be healed, and the dead can’t come back.”
“Everyone, the Great Shaw Empire will become a nightmare for all the Abyss Demons.”
“And I, Aiden, will be the strongest, the most unshakable believer in this war!”
After saying that, Aiden looked at everyone in front of him.
