I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

As expected, Zhuge Yu's team was the first to take down the A Grade Examiner and returned to the designated location to await the final battle.
But to Qin Tian's surprise, Wu Ziyan's team and Shangguan Lei's team quickly found the Demon and Fiend examiners.
Wu Ziyan's team had a Summoner whose summons were very peculiar; they weren't ordinary spirit beasts °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° or fierce beasts, but various poisonous creatures.
Poisonous insects, scorpions, toads, centipedes, venomous snakes, and so on.
The moment he entered Shuiyue New City, he released a large number of poisonous insects into the environment, and they quickly spread to every corner of the city.
These poisonous insects became the Summoner's eyes, allowing him to “see” the entire city.
When the team needed to find traces of the “Demon,” the Summoner immediately controlled the poisonous insects to fly around the city, and it wasn't long before they found the “Demon.”
Shangguan Lei's team was able to find the “Fiend” by relying on Shangguan Lei's ability and a Spirit Tool he carried.
Shangguan Lei's bloodline was called Star Vortex Mind Net, a mental-Department bloodline ability that constructs an “awareness network” within a certain range with mental power, perceiving the thought trajectories of all life within that range like a starry vortex, somewhat similar to Qin Tian's Divine Right of Spiritual Intelligence.
However, the Divine Right of Spiritual Intelligence itself does not possess offensive capabilities; it is more geared towards control and support.
The Star Vortex Mind Net's offensive capabilities are not to be underestimated, and coupled with the Shangguan Family's various inherited mental secret techniques, many people would rather face a stronger mage or warrior than face this strange mentalist.
Relying on his powerful mental strength and the treasure he carried—the Spirit Rhino Heavenly Eye—Shangguan Lei also quickly led his team to find the “Fiend” examiner.
Two major battles began one after another.
Compared to Zhuge Yu's team, which had a few minor setbacks but resolved the battle with all members unharmed, the battles of these two teams were much more intense, with both the “Demon” and “Fiend” demonstrating the formidable strength expected of a sixth-rank expert.
In the end, both teams narrowly eliminated the A Grade Examiner at the cost of one of their members being severely injured and eliminated.
This result also cast a shadow over the hearts of the team members.
Their strength was already inferior to Zhuge Yu's team, and now with losses, how many of the remaining people would make it into the top ten list during the final battle?
Qin Tian secretly observed the entire process of both battles; he had originally planned to use his old trick and launch another sneak attack, but both teams were on guard against him, even setting traps, waiting for him to fall into their net.
After weighing the risks, Qin Tian could only reluctantly give up.
Now, only Lei Yao's team had yet to deal with the last “Ghost” examiner.
“Damn it, where is he!!!”
Lei Yao clenched his fists, feeling extremely anxious.

The battle fluctuations in the city could not escape his perception; it was clear that the other three teams had already dealt with their opponents, and now only his team was still aimlessly wandering around the city like headless flies.
Not to mention the hundreds of millions of spectators watching them, which was humiliating.
If too much time dragged on and they still couldn't find the “Ghost” examiner, then the remaining three teams might completely disregard their agreement and go look for the Ghost examiner, eliminating him to obtain the guardian item.
Moreover, if they were ruthless enough, they might even unite to eliminate his team first.
Neither of these situations was something he wanted to see.
“How about we split up to search?”
Among the team, another Five-Star Genius, Huang Yuhui, suggested:
“You and I each form a group, and the remaining four people form two pairs, splitting into four routes; the efficiency will be much higher.”
“However, we can't go too far apart. Keep the distance in check. Once the “Ghost” examiner is found, immediately send out a signal. I think with everyone's strength, holding out for two exchanges shouldn't be a problem.”
Lei Yao thought for a moment and nodded:
“Alright, we'll do as you say!”
He had no other choice now. Rather than failing to find the target, blindly wandering around, and becoming an object of ridicule from the outside world, he might as well take a chance. Soon, the six members of Lei Yao's team set off according to the plan along four routes. During the process, they strictly controlled the distance between each other, and at the speed of a fifth-rank expert, they could arrive as support within one minute.
Qin Tian hid in the shadows, constantly observing Lei Yao's team's movements.
To be honest, Lei Yao's decision was very risky, which was related to them not having seen the A Grade Examiner's true strength.
At that time, Zhongli Ying, Ao Zihong, and Ji Yufei—two Four-Star Geniuses and one Three-Star Genius—combined their efforts but couldn't even last one exchange against the “God.”
The “Ghost's” strength would certainly be no worse than the “God's.”
Once the “Ghost” appeared and seized the opportunity, whether it was Lei Yao, Huang Yuhui, or the other two groups, they might be eliminated before their teammates could arrive as support.
Of course, there was another possibility.
The “Ghost” might not appear until before the arena battle.
Although this would make the “Ghost” seem overly cowardly, which shouldn't be the behavior of an A Grade Examiner, no matter what, if the “Ghost” persisted until the end, he would receive more generous rewards than the other three A Grade Examiners.
“Will you appear?!”
Qin Tian's eyes flickered.
“Nothing, nothing! Where on earth is he hiding?!”
Lei Yao slammed shut the door of a shop, his fists clenched, electricity crackling.
Almost a day had passed since the four teams split up. The other three teams had already dealt with their opponents and were probably using their spoils of war to improve their strength, while he was still going in circles.
Under this invisible pressure, he became increasingly anxious, his patience nearly exhausted.
Clang ~
Just then, Lei Yao suddenly heard a strange sound behind him. He turned his head to look, and his eyes widened abruptly.
It was him!
The “Ghost” examiner, wearing a ghoul mask and a pitch-black Ming Qing, his slightly reddish eyes staring intently at him.
Lei Yao felt an inexplicable chill run through his body, but at the same time, the pressure and anxiety that had been building up in his heart finally released at this moment.
Now that the target was found, it was time to show his strength.
The other three teams could do it, and he certainly could too.
Boom!
Violent lightning surged around him. Lei Yao raised his hand and released a purple thunderbolt into the air as a signal, telling his other teammates his location.
Upon hearing the thunder, Huang Yuhui and the other four immediately rushed over.
At this point, the comments on the bullet screen immediately increased.
“It's finally starting; I've been waiting until the flowers withered.”
“I thought the Ghost would keep hiding and not come out. I didn't expect him to show up voluntarily. As expected of an A Grade Examiner, he has backbone, much stronger than that Black Crow.”
“Quick, quick, let's all enjoy a wonderful battle.”
Lei Yao assumed a defensive stance, protected by lightning. His task was to protect himself before his teammates arrived.
But just then, a sharp ghostly wail suddenly rang out in his mind.
His body stiffened abruptly, and his head throbbed with excruciating pain. The next moment, a ghostly hand pierced through his chest, not only crushing his heart but also, with its other hand, crushing the Qingmu Jade he carried.
“You dare to kill me!!!”
Lei Yao looked at the “Ghost” in disbelief.
The Qingmu Star Domain Talent Battle allowed for serious injuries, but intentional killing was absolutely forbidden.
Those who killed would surely be punished by the Oriental Family, life for a life.
The “Ghost” leaned in and spoke into his ear, but his eyes were fixed on the camera in front of him.
A low, hoarse voice sounded, broadcast throughout the entire Qingmu Star Region.
“The Blood God Sect sends its regards to everyone.”
Blood God Sect. Lei Yao's pupils constricted, and despair and fear instantly filled his chest.
