I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 203: Competition (2)

As soon as her voice fell, there was a strange tension that filled the room.

It wasn't the same tension as before, rather it was kind of like an invisible layer of excitement filling the room as everyone seemed excited about this competition.

Even though they would have to compete for a spot to join the SS Rank Dungeon expedition, for most people here, they wouldn't have had a chance to join in the first place.

There were the captains of the dungeon raid groups who were powerful Awakeners, but there were also plenty of weaker team members who wouldn't have a chance to join this important mission.

After all, this was a SS Rank Dungeon, this was not something that just anyone would be able to go to.

But being able to go to this SS Rank Dungeon was without a doubt a great opportunity.

Just being able to say that you had entered a SS Rank Dungeon would be a large boost to one's prestige.

That was just how much weight a SS Rank Dungeon had.

So normally, only the captains of the various teams, the strongest members of Elementia, would even be allowed to go. There would be no opportunity for them at all.

This was a golden opportunity for everyone here.

The captains however knew that Bing Lan had another goal here.

She was planning on using this SS Rank Dungeon to breathe life into their guild.

She was planning on using this SS Rank Dungeon to light a fire under everyone and evolve their guild to the next level.

That was why she had thought of this competition.

After letting them seethe in this excitement for a bit, Bing Lan continued by saying, "As for how we will be choosing those that go, it will depend on contribution during this next period. We will be watching everyone's actions during this time and grading you based on that. Those that contribute more will be in the pool for those chosen to go."

Then after a pause, she added, "Of course, your powers will also be considered when we observe you. Those with powers that are considered more useful will be put in higher consideration over the others."

She went on to talk about some more vague things and as she did, the people listening couldn't help knitting their brows.

The way that Bing Lan had described the competition had been very vague, so they didn't really know what to do to be considered.

But that was what she wanted in the first place.

By giving vague instructions in the first place, they would have to make up for it on their own.

Whether that was putting in more effort or finding a creative way to stand out, she was leaving it up to them to figure out how to stand out.

That would easily weed out those that wouldn't be able to make the cut.

After going over a few more details, she called the end to the meeting and walked off with a group of people.

Once Bing Lan was gone, everyone slowly stood up and started leaving this conference room.

It was the same for us.

I led our group out before asking Su Chen for a private place to discuss this.

Su Chen quickly brought us to one of the discussion rooms that Elementia had at the headquarters. These were rooms that could be used by any dungeon raiding party to hold discussions.

All we had to do was sign in with our guild IDs and we were allowed to use the room.

After sitting down, I looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?"

All of them remained silent with looks on their faces as if they were debating this.

Or it was better to say that they looked scared.

But it couldn't be blamed on them since this was a large opportunity.

SS Rank Dungeon, this was a dungeon that was at the very frontlines of humanity's battle with the demon kings. This was the highest grade dungeon out there, so there must be powerful enemies there.

It would even make sense for there to be demon kings.

This was the general's idea of these SS Rank Dungeons.

So this was a very dangerous place.

They were scared of going to a place like this, so they weren't sure if they wanted to compete for this at all.

But it was Long Shui Ling who broke the silence by saying, "What is there to be scared of? If we want to be Awakeners, we should aim for the top."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this from Long Shui Ling.

After all, this kind of comment was strange coming from her.

Even the conviction in her eyes seemed strange.

And for some reason, she seemed to be looking at me…

The others looked at Long Shui Ling for a bit before suddenly agreeing with her.

They had been scared by the large implications of this SS Rank Dungeon, but they were inspired by her words.

Even if this place was terrifying, they should have ambition as future powerful Awakeners. It was their dream to become S Rank Awakeners or even SS Rank Awakeners, so this SS Rank Dungeon was just a stepping stone for them.

As for me, I was interested in this dungeon as well, but for a different reason.

This dungeon was the frontline of the battle with the demon kings…and as a demon king, I was naturally interested in this place.

I didn't know what would be inside the SS Rank Dungeon, but I was certain that it would be related to me as a demon king.

So naturally I wanted to explore this SS Rank Dungeon and see what I could find.

Since everyone was excited about this, it seemed that our decision was made…

Or at least that was what it seemed until there was someone that suddenly came into the room.

This was a staff member who suddenly said, "The guild master wants to see you all."
