#304 - Chapter 304 Targeting
The news of Wu Wei's refusal to cooperate quickly reached the other lords through the temporary war council formed by the Shen family's three sisters.
Since everyone except Wu Wei had joined the plan, almost all the lords were annoyed and dissatisfied with Wu Wei's uncooperative attitude.
After all, they were all "heaven's chosen" who had emerged from the lord assessment, and they were all unconvinced at heart.
This anger and annoyance were pushed to the peak when Wu Wei issued a war threat.
Many lords couldn't restrain their anger and wanted to reason with Wu Wei properly.
But through war!
However, they didn't do so.
This wasn't because they were cowards.
It was because the Shen family's three sisters stopped them!
They stopped the lords from making mistakes, using the excuse of "not ruining the assessment."
At the same time, the three sisters also guaranteed that due to Wu Wei's bad attitude, no other lords would share any information with him.
In this way, everyone would block Wu Wei.
Wu Wei would fall into a state similar to a battlefield shielding bag.
This would be a very dangerous state for him, who was also taking the assessment.
After all, as long as they played some tricks at that time, Wu Wei's territory would become the most dangerous area on the entire battlefield, even if he was located in the core area of the battlefield.
Because they would also open a gap near Wu Wei's territory for the enemies of the empire to enter.
Hearing what the Shen family's three sisters said, the other lords reluctantly agreed to their request.
Temporarily letting Wu Wei off the hook.
——————————
In fact, they were doing it on purpose.
They deliberately spread Wu Wei's uncooperative attitude to everyone's ears, and deliberately fanned the flames in some details, exaggerating Wu Wei's bad attitude.
But all of this was exactly what they needed.
Because the three of them believed that only by doing this could Wu Wei become the common enemy of all the other lords in the shortest amount of time!
The three of them also unanimously believed that keeping Wu Wei in this state was actually beneficial to them!
Because when Wu Wei was regarded as an uncooperative "enemy" by everyone else, many of their decisions would have a subtle influence in the minds of countless people.
That is, if they don't proceed according to the plan, they may also fall into a situation similar to Wu Wei's.
This can be temporarily understood as they are not willing to be excluded by the vast majority of people.
At the same time, Wu Wei, who has been excluded by them, can be a perfect negative example.
As long as Wu Wei exists in this assessment for one more day, they will hate him and attract the hatred of some lords.
Humans are, after all, creatures who fear loneliness and are extremely xenophobic.
The Shen family's three sisters took advantage of this human psychology!
In the hearts of the Shen family's three sisters, Wu Wei is just a very suitable tool.
The previous so-called persuasion of Wu Wei was just a formality.
——————————
"Huff..."
"Looks like I'm being targeted."
Wu Wei smiled.
Wu Wei had actually guessed some of the Shen family's three sisters' thoughts.
But he wasn't worried at all.
On the contrary, he was very happy.
Because he knew better than everyone else present.
That is, the difficulty of this so-called War College entrance assessment is no longer in the so-called enemies of the empire!
The real difficulty lies in the second assessment.
That is, the assessment of surviving for ten days under the siege of other War College students.
From the beginning, Wu Wei didn't prepare for the first assessment!
Everything he did, from beginning to end, was just to pass the second assessment!
"If I can't pass the second assessment, then none of this will matter."
"I'm not like the other lords."
"They want to use this war to show themselves in front of the instructors."
"And I."
"Am here to win!"
Thinking of this, Wu Wei silently opened the black and red book in his hand, the Abyss Codex.
Then, he recited a prayer from the abyss.
As the prayer ended.
A change appeared in one of his eyes.
The black and red vertical pupil gradually disappeared.
Replaced by a black and red vortex.
The vortex of the Abyss Overlord!
