All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

That night, after having dinner with the elders who had returned home, Chu Cige was summoned to the rooftop training ground under the pretext of exchanging skills and discussing serious matters.

After a one-sided beating, the elder handed him a bottle of energy drink to replenish his strength.

"The annual hunting competition, which takes place every hundred years, is about to begin. Every tribe will send people to participate, and our Zhu Yan tribe is no exception."

The elder looked at Chu Cige, who was sitting on the ground panting.

"A hunting competition?"

Chu Cige didn't understand what the elder meant. Was this the important matter the elder was talking about?

Shouldn't he be beaten up? Last time, he was supposed to be talking about serious business and sent Reina away, but he ended up beating him up. He thought it would be the same today, but it turns out something really happened.

"You don't think there's no competition within our Predator race, do you? After becoming a Predator, every Predator receives a set of standard equipment unconditionally. It's a benefit, but also a responsibility."

The elder slowly began to speak.

"Just like the nano armor you're wearing, the technological achievements it integrates are not just the work of our Zhu Yan tribe; it's a project in which the entire Ironblood Clan participated."

"To acquire such cutting-edge technology, in addition to the tribe itself being strong, there must be researchers in the research institute, and the tribe must make outstanding contributions to the entire community."

Seeing that he still had doubts, the elder continued, "Our Ironblood Clan has developed to the point where we are now the kings of the Milky Way and no longer need to wage war everywhere as before."

But without external pressure, internal competition naturally followed. Our Zhu Yan tribe, as one of the top three tribes in the entire clan, is constantly being threatened by those tribes behind us who want to take our place...

As the elder spoke, Chu Cige seemed to gradually understand something.

According to the information revealed by the elders, the Predators were likely plundering, conquering, colonizing, and plundering resources throughout the galaxy a long time ago.

After conquering the entire galaxy and having enough resources, they changed and began hunting around the galaxy while guarding it.

The technologies and resources acquired through conquest need to be digested and transformed into one's own achievements.

Who will use these achievements and resources has become a new target of contention.

Hunting competitions were thus born.

This is a major competition organized by the top ten tribes of the Ironblood Clan. An entire planet has been transformed into a giant hunting ground, and powerful creatures from all over the galaxy have been sent to the planet as prey for the competition.

Each tribe can then send its Ironbloods to hunt.

During the competition, each prey was implanted with a biochip. As soon as the prey died, the intelligent biochip would send a signal, which would be collected by the computer on the hunter. Then, points would be calculated based on the prey's information and the degree of danger. Finally, the ranking of the tribes in the next century would be determined by the total points.

Of course, not every Ironblood can participate in such a competition. First of all, there are restrictions: Ironbloods over one hundred years old cannot participate, and they cannot carry weapons that exceed the hunting limits. For example, a deadly weapon like an orbital cannon is definitely not allowed.

Through the elder's explanation, Chu Cige understood why it had sought him out for a private conversation; it was clearly trying to get him to participate in this hunting competition.

Of course, giving yourself a good beating is also a good thing.

Are there any personnel restrictions?

Chu Ci Ge needs to understand the specifics of the competition and how long until it begins.

The elder gave him an approving look: "Each tribe may not have more than three Ironbloods participating. The competition will begin in six months."

Six months is enough, to be honest, it's a bit too long.

In Chu Cige's opinion, half a year would be enough time for him to max out his proficiency and then travel to the next world.

He already possesses the basic strength of the weakest elite Ironblood. If he trains for another six months, without needing nano-armor, catching up to Lone Wolf's strength won't be a problem. If there are system rewards, he might even surpass Lone Wolf.

Seeing his confidence, the elder reminded him, "Although you are very strong now, I still want to say that in previous years there have been elite and iron-blooded warriors who were not even a hundred years old."

Moreover, Lone Wolf, before this, was the youngest elite member of the Ironblood team to participate in the competition, but its squad only managed to secure third place.

The elder didn't want to discourage him, but the necessary information still needed to be explained.

"Hmm...? Someone actually managed to defeat Instructor Lone Wolf?"

Chu Cige was a little surprised. Lone Wolf Instructor's talent had been certified by the system, making him an elite iron-blooded warrior with strength close to that of an elder.

According to the information provided by the system, Lone Wolf is exceptionally gifted and is the leader of the Zhu Yan tribe in this generation.

Although their strength may not have been as great as it is now, the fact that they are the youngest elite warrior speaks for itself. He couldn't understand how a lone wolf could lead such a team to lose to the other two tribes. Was it because his teammates were not good enough, or was it because the lone wolf was reckless and lost?

This wasn't malicious speculation on his part; it was simply that in the movie, when Lone Wolf was dealing with the Predator, he grabbed a few pieces of equipment and flew off in his little spaceship.

If it had won, that would have been fine, but the problem is that it lost by playing recklessly, and the key reason is that it underestimated its opponent.

"There were various reasons behind Lone Wolf's class, and I can't say much about it. If you want to know, just ask him yourself."

As the elder spoke, a regretful expression flashed across his face, though it was fleeting, Chu Cige still noticed it.

Something's up? Could there be some inside story behind Lone Wolf's loss? The Elder doesn't seem angry, so it might not be due to teammates or opponents. Could it really have lost because it was reckless?

"In the next six months, you not only need to improve your own skills, but you also need to find two teammates. Otherwise, you won't be able to participate in the competition on your own."

Seeing his curious expression, the elder ignored him completely.

"Shouldn't you be the one choosing?"

Chu Cige didn't expect the elder to be so unreliable. He couldn't even select the right people for such an important competition, and he had to pick them himself.

The problem is that besides Celtic and Zhanbo, he doesn't know any other teammates who are suitable to participate!

Reina doesn't count; she's too weak. She should sit at the same table as Zhanbo.

The Celts barely meet the standards of the Chu Ci song; if they could get rid of their arrogance and add a bit of caution, they would be even better.

"Heh! Are you sure you want me to choose?"

The elder's expression was a half-smile, which made him feel uneasy.

"Sure!"

Chu Cige didn't care what the elders were thinking. He wasn't going to take the blame anyway, and he didn't even know many of the Ironblood members. What choice did he have?

And this selection of personnel was originally Old Deng's responsibility, yet he tried to shirk his duties.

For such an important competition, Old Deng couldn't just randomly find two Ironbloods to participate with him! That would put the tribe's development for the next century at risk.

"Okay!"

The elder nodded and agreed.

"Now that we've covered the first thing, let's talk about the other one!"

Forehead!

Is there something else?

Chu Cige couldn't help but complain inwardly, "Why is Old Deng so meddlesome? Is he always so free? I need to get intimate with Reina later! Can't you hurry up..."

"What is it!" Chu Cige asked with a serious expression, unable to reveal her true thoughts.

"There's a celebration party tomorrow to mark your graduation. Remember to attend on time, don't overwork yourself, and don't be late."

After leaving those words, the elder departed.
