World Contest formally started. There were 71 guilds from Asia partic.i.p.ated, 43 guilds from Europe, and 35 guilds from Africa. As the guild from America, no one knew.However, during the World Contest, many guilds decided to send their men to America. They wanted to inquiry the current situation in America.
During the World Contest, the world entered a peaceful state. So they did not have to fear if their men got attacked in America. That was why many guilds decided to send their men to America during this time.

Dimensional Island
Even though it called Dimensional Island, an island in a different dimension. However, everything looked normal. It was almost the same as the earth. The sky, the sun, the land, and everything were the same.
Randy, Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, and David got teleported at the same location. The got teleported to the middle of the jungle. The dense trees surrounding the four and there was a small pond on their side.
It could be said they got teleported to strategic place. They could make this place as their temporary camp.
"Map is still working, but guild messenger is not…" Randy checked the Battle System.
Except for the System Storage and map, the other functions were not working. Randy even found he could not summon Rocky in this place. But there was an additional menu, Team Messenger.
This team messenger only could be used to communicate the people within one team. In Randy case, he could communicate only with Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, and David. Not only that, there was a new feature in Team Messenger which Guild Messenger did not have, voice call.
Indeed this new feature was more convenient than sending the chat. Checking the Battle System, it was as Ascension Guild said, most features in the battle system would be during the World Contest. Even they could not access the forum. This meant they were isolated from the outside world.
"So, what"s next?" Long Xinya asked Randy.
"Hunting of course!" Randy answered instantly.
Long Xinya rolled her eyes at Randy, "I know! But the plan? Are we just hunting blindly to all over the place? Shouldn"t we look for our guild member first?"
"Why do we look for them? We will do as we planned. We are working separately, there"s no need for us desirably looking for them. Our main objective is the Evil Clan and the native of this Dimensional Island.
For now, we will take this place as our temporary base. This place will be our main camp for now. Next, we will explore the jungle!"
Randy pointed his finger toward the jungle on their back. The jungle was a bit foggy and it looked a bit eerie. Moreover, the tree also a bit weird, it was grey in color and its leaves were blue in color.
"Look here, we have a map here. We will investigate the jungle and shared the map later. So, temporary we will have to have our map first and move according to the situation later! I will go to the west…" Randy began giving out the order.
This was the reason why Randy did not take any guild members with him. So they could move freely without worrying the guild member. As for the guild member, the would move as the team. Without a doubt, the cooperation between them was very good after years working together.
As long as they move as a team, Randy did not worry about their safety. After all, Happy Guild was famous with their ten people formation.
The World Contest lasted for a month and Randy"s plan was to scout the island first. So Happy Guild would do mapping in the first week. The map was crucial during this World Contest. Knowing the terrain would enhance their chance of survival.
After all, this place called Dimensional Island. No matter how big this Dimensional Island was, Randy believed a week was more than enough to map the whole island. Yes, this place called the island, so no possible this island was bigger than earth no?
As for his guild member, Randy did not need desirably looking for them as it just a matter of time before they would meet.
After a small discussion, the four immediately parted their way. Randy went to the west, David went to the north, Zhen Yi went to the south, and Long Xinya went to the east.
Randy went to the west. He found that that the for inside the jungle was thicker. As he walked, Shana who always silence suddenly spoke in a doubtful tone.
"Uncle, I find something weird with this Dimensional Island… No, it"s as if I feel extremely familiar with this island!"
Hearing this, Randy halted his steps. He also stunned hearing this from AI. Shana was an AI, a program, but how come she felt familiar with this Dimensional Island? No, Shana used the word "Extremely", that meant she knew this place.
"Have you come here?"
"I don"t know… But the energy on this island, I feel familiar." Shana appeared confused as she tried to remember about this place. Shana 3D projection also appeared before Randy and she had her tiny hand on her chin. She was in deep thought.
Since Randy leveled up his AI to level 100, Shana projection was not a 2D projection anymore.
"Energy?" This time Randy was the one who confused.
"Yes, Energy. Use your transformation skill and you will understand what I mean!" Shana nodded her head.
Randy used his transformation skill and he found the difference this Dimensional Island and Earth. He indeed found something different, but he did not what was it.
Afterward, Randy deactivated the transformation skill. Even though he found the difference between Dimensional Island and Earth, but that feeling was fuzzy.
Shana found Randy was confused and explained, "The density of the energy. The density of energy in this Dimensional Island is higher than the earth. This can affect the recovery of your spirit. In this Dimensional Island, you can recover faster! Try to use your skill or Elemental Power!"
Hearing Shana explanation, Randy did as Shana told him. He fired seven fireb.a.l.l.s, but he appeared to be more confused. He felt nothing at all.
Then Shana tapped her forehead, she had forgotten Randy"s stats were monstrous. Firing a few fireb.a.l.l.s had no effect on his spirit. If it was Randy in the past when he could only use Dragon Roar for three times, maybe he could feel the difference, but not at the current Randy.
"Forget it!" Shana school her head in frustration, "Basically like I said, the difference is the energy density! What does it mean? It means this Dimensional Island can be considered as a higher world than the earth! But of course, this Dimensional Island cannot…"
Suddenly Shana"s voice stopped midway. Her eyes went round and her mouth made an "O" shape.
Looking at this, Randy immediately turned his body. He thought there was a monster or a beast came from behind. A beast that could not be detected by his senses, surely that was a terrifying beast.
However, when Randy turned his body, he found nothing. There was no beast or other creatures, then what made Shana turned into like this. Based on Shana"s expression, it was as if she found something terrifying.
Randy turned his body back in confusion. Shana was still in the same posture and her shocked expression remained there.
"Oi! What"s wrong?" Randy waved his hand right on Shana"s face.
"Big? Error? System crash…?" Various kinds of thought appeared in Randy mind.
But suddenly Shana burst out in panic, "Uncle, you should not be here. No, this is not Dimensional Island but Trial Island. It"s not the time for you to enter Trial Island, this is still too early for you to be here!
How come Ascension Guild use this place. No, Ascension Guild is clearer than me they could not use this place for a compet.i.tion! They have violated the rule of the Battle of Ascension! Uncle, you have to come out from this Island as soon as possible! Uncle, you have to report this! Uncle…"
"Hey calm down, calm down!" Randy did not know what made Shana panicked like this, but it seemed he was in a grave situation. Shana never panicked like this.
Shana calmed down after hearing Randy"s voice.
"Good, now you calm down. Now, tell me slowly! First, you said this place is Trial Island, now can you explain what is Trial Island?"
"You already know the last phase of the Battle of Ascension, right?" Shana asked. Now her expression was solemn and this was the first time Shana appeared like this before Randy.
Randy nodded his head. The last phase of the Battle of Ascension. Randy got this information from King Andreas and Crimson Princess Audrey.
The third phase or the last phase of the Battle of Ascension was the last phase before they could ascend to Ascension World. In order to ascend to Ascension World, one had to pa.s.s the three stages of trial in the last phase of the Battle of Ascension.
"The second stage of the trial, Combat Trial will be held in here, the Trial Island!!!"
