Chapter 1160 – Exhausted
When Cadjo heard the Mage, he immediately knew what they were after. They just wanted Zhao Hai to appear so that they could challenge him. Then they would find an opportunity to kill him in battle.
To be honest, Cadjo wasn"t afraid of Zhao Hai being challenged by these people. He believes that Zhao Hai could easily defeat them. However, it might force Zhao Hai to explode with his true strength, which wouldn"t be good for Zhao Hai.
Cadjo smiled faintly and said, "This is really unfortunate. Zhao Hai has been closing up recently. Not just here, but also on the s.h.i.+p. Because of this, he couldn"t see Young Master Zhang. If Young Master Zhang has something to give Zhao Hai, then I can give it to him on your behalf."
Shameless!
Mingyue and the others had this same thought inside their hearts. They had seen shameless people before, but they haven"t seen someone so shameless that they would lie straight to their face. There wasn"t even a tinge of red on his face.
However, Mingyue and the others couldn"t do anything about it. This place was the Ashley Family"s office. If they caused any trouble here, then their family would be directly affected.
Zhang Mingyue rolled his eyes, then he suddenly had an inspiration. He looked at Cadjo and laughed, then he said, "I didn"t expect the Ashley Family"s so-called genius to actually be a cowardly turtle. I heard that Margaret has been playing around with him lately? So is he just a pretty boy that she feeds? Hahaha. Only knowing how to hide under a woman"s skirt. So this is the Ashley Family"s genius. Such a person wants to receive my gift? I"m leaving!" Zhang Mingyue made sure to use magic alongside his voice so that the entire building could hear him.
Although Zhang Mingyue said that he was leaving, he didn"t actually have any intention to head out. He just stood there arrogantly and waited.
Awkward silence!
Cadjo and Desbarres looked at the proudly standing Zhang Mingyue. n.o.body made any noise. At the same time, Mingyue stayed there, as though waiting for Cadjo to say something.
Five minutes pa.s.sed by…
Zhang Mingyue"s expression began to turn dark….
Ten minutes pa.s.sed by, Zhang Mingyue turned pale. In these ten minutes, Cadjo didn"t say a single word. Desbarres and Luke were also similarly silent. And even Zhao Hai who was badmouthed stayed silent. Zhang Mingyue began to feel like he was acting like a fool, jumping on the limelight in order to attract attention. And now that n.o.body bought his antics, he looked like a stupid monkey.
Cadjo and Desbarres naturally knew about Zhang Mingyue"s thoughts. To be honest, they were afraid of Zhao Hai falling into Zhang Mingyue"s trick.
In the beginning, Cadjo intended to berate Zhang Mingyue with a few words. However, after looking at his proud expression, Cadjo began to want Zhao Hai to come out and deal with Zhang Mingye"s group.
But what Cadjo didn"t expect was Zhao Hai"s absence. Seeing Zhang Mingyue left drying up in the sun for several minutes, Cadjo really wanted to speak. But after seeing Mingyue"s expression turned darker and darker as Zhao Hai continued to be absent, Cadjo decided to stay silent. He just stood there to watch the fun.
He suddenly found out that ignoring someone was also a good way to deal with taunts. Not only that, knowing that they were being ignored, the perpetrator would become angrier as time goes by.
Cadjo observed as Zhang Mingyue"s expression turned blue. He couldn"t help but suppress his laughter. He felt that Mingyue would spit out some blood soon. It was actually amusing to look at.
Desbarres was also happily spectating at the side. On the other hand, Luke"s expression was somewhat distorted. His stomach was contracted too much that it might get shredded. If he wasn"t facing the Zhang Family, then he would have long since laughed out loud.
Seeing that Zhang Mingyue was about to spit out some blood, Cadjo couldn"t help but cough lightly and said, "Young Master Zhang, Zhao Hai is unavailable. If you have anything to give Zhao Hai, then I can send it on your behalf. If you don"t have any other matters here, then I"ll have to ask you to leave."
At this moment, Zhao Hai"s stomach was already hurting from laughter. Not only him, Laura and the others were also making fun of Zhang Mingyue"s current expression.
Seeing Zhang MIngyue leave, Zhao Hai stopped laughing and turned to Margaret and said, "Margaret, stop laughing. Let"s go out, it"s time to return."
Margaret nodded as she wiped the tear on her eye. Then she took deep breaths to calm herself down from laughing. After some time, she stopped and the two returned to Zhao Hai"s room.
When Mingyue and the others were out of sight, Cadjo and the others wildly laughed. It took almost all of their strength to stop themselves from laughing. But now that the other party was gone, they laughed loudly.
It took some time before the group calmed down. Then they went back to the elevator and headed towards Margaret"s room. But when they knocked on the door, n.o.body was in. Then when they thought about it they immediately went to Zhao Hai"s room.
Sure enough, after knocking on Zhao Hai"s door, Margaret was the one to open it. The three entered and saw Zhao Hai sitting beside the table, looking through materials.
Cadjo looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Little Hai, did you hear Zhang Mingyue?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course I heard it. That person is interesting, he came here just to shout like an idiot. Hahaha. He actually wanted to trick me. Did he leave?" When Cadjo recalled Zhang MIngyue"s dark expression, he couldn"t help but laugh once more. As they talked about what just happened, even Zhao Hai and Margaret laughed at times.
After talking about this matter, Cadjo looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Right, Little Hai, you need to hold back even if you get taunted by them. The family isn"t officially at war with the Zhang Family. If you deal with Zhang Mingyue now, then the situation would escalate. This wouldn’t be good for our future plans."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I didn"t intend to head down at all. If I know that the other side is tricking me and I still go, then wouldn"t I be the fool? But they better make sure that I don"t meet Sun Fei, or else I"ll immediately kill him."
Cadjo smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then you go take a rest. Don"t leave the building in the next few days. I"m certain that the Zhang Family has sent people to monitor your actions. Once you get spotted, they will immediately attack you. I can only ask for your forgiveness for the next few days."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "General Manager, it"s fine. You can rest a.s.sured, I wouldn"t leave the building."
Cadjo nodded. Then he patted Zhao Hai"s shoulder before leaving.
When the three men left, Zhao Hai brought Margaret to the s.p.a.ce. While Zhao Hai was sitting on the side reading some information, Margaret and the others divided Liquid Silver and then used it to explore the entire planet.
It has already become a custom for Laura and the others to release needles to scout whenever they reach a new area. This way, they would become more familiar with the place and also monitor their enemies.
The silver needles were originally tiny. And with Laura and the others commanding it to fly at high alt.i.tudes as well as deep underground, it was impossible for other people to discover them. Because of this, the women looked like they were playing around.
Zhao Hai actually wasn"t paying much attention to the things written in the materials he was provided. It was impossible for these people to be a threat to him. Paying attention to them would only be a waste of energy. Therefore, he just swept through most of the material without any care.
The levels of these partic.i.p.ants weren"t too high. The strongest among them were level 4 while the lowest was level 1.
The Mages and Warriors sent by the smaller powers had some qualities worth looking at. Some of them were level 3 or level 4. It seems like these smaller powers were trying to use this qualifiers to elevate their positions.
Nevertheless, Zhao Hai still didn"t care. He just read these materials in order to get acquainted with the general state of the realm. After all, no partic.i.p.ant could match him in this compet.i.tion.
In addition to reading about the beginners, Zhao Hai also checked their situation using the internet. But unfortunately, the network of the Machine Realm wasn"t so interconnected. He couldn"t find a lot of useful things.
At this time, while Zhao Hai was browsing through information, Laura suddenly yelled, "Brother Hai, come here, quick. We found something!" Zhao Hai quickly put his computer down and went to the living room. Shown on the monitor was a fight. And among these people was someone who left an impression on him, Strong Wind Li Kuangren!
This Li Kuangren was one of the ten experts that Cadjo introduced. Judging by the information they had on him, this person was quite strong. When Zhao Hai saw the fight, he became curious and immediately sat down to spectate.
Li Kuangren was about 1.8 meters tall. He had withered and uncombed hair with a full beard. His two eyes were cold. He only had ordinary clothes on. And in his hand were his two broad axes. He didn"t look very big but it was evident that he was strong. His face was quite long horizontally. He had a dark skin that seemed to have a special l.u.s.ter to it. When he saw this, Zhao Hai"s eyes couldn"t help but flash. His defense was quite formidable, otherwise his skin wouldn"t turn into this appearance.
Zhao Hai was curious about his opponent. But as he looked at the other side, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but get surprised. This was because he knew these people. They were the five Warriors that Zhang Mingyue had with him, the ones with the heavy cross swords!
Chapter 1161 – Strong Wind Li Kuangren
Zhao Hai noticed these Warriors at that time. All of them had heavy cross swords and they also have similar temperaments. From what he can see, it seems like they practiced a coordination technique. Zhao Hai wanted to see it in action.
Zhao Hai turned to Laura and said, "Laura, can you look into how these people had a conflict with Li Kuangren? Aren"t they with Zhang Mingyue just earlier?"
Laura turned to look at Cai"er. Cai"er waved her hand and changed the image on the monitor. When Zhang Mingyue left the building, he was very angry that he needed to drink at the hotel. And because of his anger, he heavily scolded a hotel staff. Meanwhile, Li Kuangren was at the same hotel. When he saw Zhang Mingyue, he coldly snorted.
Zhang Mingyue was already incensed about Zhao Hai. Hearing someone snort at him, he immediately stood up and pointed towards Li Kuangren and said, "What are you snorting about? You have something to say?"
Naturally, Li Kuangren wasn"t a peaceful monk, he also stood up and said, "Pretty boy, do you know who you"re pointing to?"
This made the situation even more difficult. Mingyue just called Zhao Hai a pretty boy, and now Zhang Mingyue was called the same thing. This caused Zhang Mingyue to be even more angry, he coldly snorted and said, "I"m talking to you, outsider. You think you can just call everyone out when you"re from the lower realm? Know your place."
Zhang Mingyue"s words weren"t unusual here in the Machine Field. However, only a few people would dare to publicly say this, unless they want to offend all the lower realm ascenders. One must know that there were a lot of ascenders in the Machine Field. There"s no benefits to offending all of these people.
Zhang Mingyue"s words made the room turn colder. The words he spoke were taboo. It wasn"t only Li Kuangren whose expression changed, even the other Warriors and Mages in the room had ugly expressions.
Li Kuangren looked at Zhang Mingyue, then he laughed and said, "Pretty boy, you"re quite fearless aren"t you. Since you don"t know your manners, let this grandfather teach you a lesson." Then after he said that, he went straight for Zhang Mingyue.
Although Zhang Mingyue looked delicate, his strength was the real deal. He waved his hand and released a 5-layer defensive formation to protect himself. At the same time, he retreated behind the five Warriors who already pulled their cross swords out and rushed forward.
These five were indeed cultivating a special technique. All of their moves were well coordinated. Their five swords proceeded to a.s.sault Li Kuangren, attacking him at all points.
Li Kuangren was also an expert. When he saw the situation, he immediately retreated backwards. Then he flew out of the hotel with his two broad axes. At the same time, he yelled out, "Pretty boy, you still owe 300 rounds with this grandpa."
But before he could add to his sentence, the five Warriors already jumped out of the hotel and stood opposite him.
And this led to the present situation. The display on the monitor changed once more and returned to Li Kuangren"s confrontation with the five Warriors.
Li Kuangren gripped his axes. He looked at the five Warriors opposite him, then he said, "The Five Element Tigers. You"re quite the celebrities in the Zhang Family"s External Hall. This Li Kuangren has heard so much about you. But I didn"t expect that you"re just lackeys to someone like Zhang Mingyue. Wanting to die for him is such a disgrace."
Because Zhao Hai had just recently ascended, and had spent most of his time cultivating, he didn"t know much about famous characters in the Machine Field. On the other hand, Li Kuangren had already ascended for four years. And with how many missions he has accomplished, he was well-versed with experts of External Halls. As for these five cross-sword wielding Warriors, Li Kuangren knew that they were the Five-element Tigers of the Zhang Family"s Golden Sword Camp.
The Zhang Family"s External Hall was named differently from the Ashley Family. Their External Hall was divided into eight camps; metal, water, wood, fire, earth, wind, light, and dark. The Gold Sword Camp was the Zhang Family"s camp that belonged to the metal element.
All ascenders of the Zhang Family would join these camps according to their attribute. It didn"t matter if they were a Mage or a Warrior, they were categorized the same.
As for the five-element tigers, they were metal element Warriors from the Gold Sword Camp. The reason they were called five-element tigers was due to the technique that they practiced, a formation known as the five-element golden light. With this formation set, the five were able to make a name in the Machine Field.
One of the five element tigers coldly snorted and said, "Li Kuangren, it seems like you want to withdraw from this compet.i.tion. You need to know that there are some people that you can"t offend."
Li Kuangren laughed when he heard this, "Unable to offend? You mean the pretty boy? Hahahaha. He"s just a useless pretty face who had his marriage agreement broken. Hahaha. What ability does he have?"
Zhang Mingyue couldn"t bear the humiliation as he pointed at Li Kuangren and said, "Kill him! Kill him for me!"
The Five Element Tigers quickly moved and threw themselves towards Li Kuangren. The five surrounded their opponent in all directions.
Li Kuangren began to wildly laugh as he said, "Good, good. Let this grandfather see the mighty five elements golden light." Then he began to wave his axes, causing strong winds to surround the area.
Zhao Hai now knew why Li Kuangren was given the nickname "Strong Winds" The attack of his axes had some special characteristics. When he attacked, the axes would cause turbulence in the surrounding area. Not only would this increase its power, it also added a rotational orientation to the attack, increasing the potential damage that it could inflict.
Zhao Hai was thinking that Li Kuangren"s axes must be very heavy. And it was certain that he was using a special technique to wield them. Otherwise, he wouldn"t be able to control his axes as he continued to wave them around.
At this time, the winds surrounding Li Kuangren were getting bigger and bigger before finally turning into a whirlwind. The Five Element Tigers were wrapped up in it, the sound of clas.h.i.+ng weapons were endless.
Zhao Hai watched this happen and couldn"t help but secretly nod. He didn"t only agree to Li Kuangren"s method, he also commended the five element golden lights that the five Warriors were using. When this formation set was used by the five Warriors simultaneously, one could see that it was very powerful. If not for Li Kuangren"s exquisite control of his axes, then he would have already been defeated. However, with the current situation, it wouldn"t be long before Li Kuangren would admit defeat.
To be honest, Zhao Hai quite liked Li Kuangren"s character. However, he wouldn"t go so far as to help him at this moment. This was because Zhao Hai knew that fights in this planet wouldn"t last long. This was Machine Field Planet, causing too much commotion here would incur the ire of the three major powers.
Just as Zhao Hai expected, not long after the two sides began fighting, several cars flew over and surrounded them. Then a voice was heard, "Stop fighting immediately. If you don"t, then don"t blame us for being impolite."
Li Kuangren and the Five Element Tigers slowly stopped their movements. Then they jumped out of their battle area. At this time, another announcement was heard, "Fighting is forbidden in Machine Field Planet. If you want to duel, you need to go to the police station and register. This is a warning, the next time you fight, you will be arrested." Then after they said that, the cars left the area.
But even when the police had left, the two sides didn"t continue fighting. Although Zhang MIngyue was the Zhang Family"s Young Master, he was a n.o.body here. If he dared to act unreasonably, then there"s no stopping the police force from being impolite.
Because of the realm qualifiers, the planet was currently filled with a lot of influential figures. Some important members of smaller powers even came here to see the compet.i.tion. One could say that the current Machine Field Planet was filled with Patriarchs. In such a situation, Young Masters were merely dogs on the street. If Zhang Mingyue really dared to continue fighting, then he would be arrested by the police. By that time, he would become a joke in the Machine Field. And this wasn"t something that Zhang Mingyue would want.
The same was true for Li Kuangren. Although he looked crude, he wasn"t insane. He"s a partic.i.p.ant in the realm qualifiers. If he did get arrested by the police, then he might not be able to compete. Once he returns to his family, his status would certainly drop. The situation wasn"t worth it.
Since both sides had no intentions of fighting, n.o.body made another move. Li Kuangren stored his axes as he looked at Mingyue and said, "Pretty boy, I"ll remember your Zhang Family. You best pray that I don"t run into your partic.i.p.ants in the compet.i.tion. Otherwise, you can"t blame me for being merciless." Then he coldly snorted and left.
Zhang Mingyue"s face was pale as he looked at Li Kuangren. Then he countered, "Commoner, you better survive this compet.i.tion. I still have to kill you personally."
Li Kuangren laughed as he walked out.
Seeing Li Kuangren"s actions, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This is nice. The Zhang Family just offended someone. Hehe. Let"s just hope that Li Kuangren doesn"t encounter Sun Fei. Or else I won"t get my chance."
Laura turned her head to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, this Li Kuangren is quite interesting. It might be good to be friends with him."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I also think that he"s interesting. If I have the opportunity, then I"ll befriend him. He might look rugged, but at least he still knows when to advance and retreat. He also has a good heart. He"s worth paying attention to."
At this time, Lizzy turned her head to Zhao Hai and said, "Elder Brother Hai, look, I saw someone." Zhao Hai turned to look at Lizzy"s screen and saw a person wearing mage robes. He had pale blue hair and was quite handsome. It"s actually the first of Cadjo"s ten experts, Streep.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Saint of Ice Streep. He actually dared to walk outside. It seems like the Water Temple is confident that n.o.body would challenge him."
Megan turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, who do you think is the strongest among the ten experts?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I"m not completely certain but I"m confident in Zhang Qinghe, Xiong Li, Dongfang Yu, and Lei Xiaotian. They look very strong to me."
Megan stared, then he looked over their information. After she read through them all, she said, "Brother Hai, why do you favor these people?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Zhang Qinghe is a rare metal element Mage. And with Rhea family"s training, his fighting strength has improved by a lot. You should already be aware about the metal element"s offensive strength. As for Xiong Li, he has been favored by G.o.d and was given an innate talent in cultivation. Additionally, Xiong Li has very rich actual combat experience. Dongfang Yu has the Fire Dragon Sword. Although it looks superficial, his ability to use this artifact allowed him to reach his current status. You should know that artifacts only choose those who are worthy of them. Being chosen by the Fire Dragon Sword means that he has something special. And lastly, Lei Xiao Tian is a dual-element Mage. As long as he levels up and masters his elements, he will be much stronger than other Mages of his level. Naturally, the others couldn"t be underestimated. Take Li Kuangren for example, I reckon that he"s still holding back in the fight just now. During the compet.i.tion, the partic.i.p.ants would certainly show the aces in their hands."
Margaret nodded and said, "Those ten experts certainly have some secrets. Talents from the External Halls are carefully trained by their families. Regarding these talents, families wouldn"t be stingy when it comes to resources. They"re not like the Ashley Family that develops everyone equally. Therefore, these people would surely have powerful items. But since the compet.i.tion has yet to start, they wouldn"t dare take them out."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right. Not to say about the others, even our Bone Symbol Camp has a very rich treasury. Taking into account that entire families are involved in this matter, these ten great experts certainly had ma.s.sive amounts of resources poured over them. It"s impossible for them to not have any aces or two. Therefore, we can"t just look at the surface to see who is stronger. Equipment is also a huge factor to consider."
Laura and the others nodded. Then Zhao Hai sighed and said, "If the experts from the Machine Field are already like this, then what would the other realms have? People in the Machine Field are at the bottom in terms of strength in the World of Cultivation. Seeing how strong these Machine Field Experts are, one might wonder about the strength of the other realms."
As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, Laura and the others couldn"t help but feel heavy inside. Seeing their reactions, Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Alright, I"m just thinking too much. If they aren"t strong, then it would be boring. Hahaha."
Seeing Zhao Hai"s soaring confidence, Laura and the others couldn"t help but stare at him. Zhao Hai normally appeared ordinary. But at this moment, his body was extremely radiant.
Chapter 1162 – Survival Elimination Series
Time quickly flew past and the first day of the realm qualifiers had come. In these past few days, Machine Planet was anything but peaceful. There were more than several hundred duel requests that were submitted to the local police station. It was fortunate that the local police had already prepared for this. As long as both sides were willing to fight and the partic.i.p.ants pay rent for the arena, they would no longer budge in even if someone was killed. Naturally, these fights would be held in areas approved by the police.
Unlike other people, Zhao Hai didn"t head out to see the scenery outside. Instead, he looked at the planet through the s.p.a.ce"s monitor. But even if this was the case, other people were still able to gain information about him.
One shouldn"t underestimate a person"s ability to find information. These families had existed in the Machine Field for many years, and their relations.h.i.+ps had gone completely intertwined. Today, you might find a spy in your house, and then the other day you would plant a bomb on theirs. There was no such thing as secrets to the people in the Machine Field.
Naturally, the core secrets of the families were heavily guarded, otherwise that family would be finished. So even if n.o.body knew that Zhao Hai completed Liquid Silver, the other families still knew that he was strong. And there were fuzzy videos of his battles being pa.s.sed on to other people.
Zhao Hai was already considered as the eleventh expert after the ten famous ones. And his information had also been placed on the desks of major families.
To be honest, when these great families saw Zhao Hai"s material, they were shocked. They never expected a monstrous talent like him to appear. He hadn"t even ascended for a year yet he was already a level 4 Mage. Moreover, he was able to win first place in the family qualifiers.
Zhao Hai has already incurred the attention of all forces in the Machine Field. Information even from the time he ascended were dug up. Seeing Zhao Hai"s enchanting growth, it wasn"t a mystery why these people were surprised.
Nowadays, a lot of partic.i.p.ants had already tagged Zhao Hai as the most dangerous person in the compet.i.tion. But even if Zhao Hai knew about this, he didn"t care. After all, his goal wasn"t in the Machine Field, but in the much broader World of Cultivation.
Zhao Hai and Margaret were currently inside the s.p.a.ce while drinking tea. Then suddenly, Cai"er came over and said, "Young Master, you need to go back to your room. Desbarres is looking for you." Zhao Hai nodded and returned to his room. And before long, a knock was heard on the door.
Zhao Hai opened the door and saw Desbarres, Cadjo, and Luke outside. He immediately invited the three in. After they had sat down and were drinking tea, Zhao Hai looked at Cadjo and said, "General Manager, do you need me for anything?"
Cadjo nodded and said, "The compet.i.tion is tomorrow. How do you feel?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I really don"t feel anything. I"m just normal."
Cadjo nodded and said, "I"m here to tell you about the compet.i.tion. As it turns out, this compet.i.tion had a record high number of partic.i.p.ants. Because of this, the compet.i.tion committee decided to change how it went. Unlike the past, the compet.i.tion wouldn"t be a fight in the arena and instead would be an elimination series."
Zhao Hai replied, "Elimination series? How different is it?"
Cadjo nodded and said, "There"s a huge difference. This time, the fight won"t happen in an arena. Instead, it"s a survival elimination."
Zhao Hai"s eyes flashed a cold light, then he asked, "Survival Elimination? We can kill others?"
Cadjo gave a nod, "Right, you can kill. Little Hai, I think you should have heard about Yellowsand Planet, right? The elimination will happen there."
Zhao Hai has certainly heard about Yellowsand Planet. This planet was quite famous, its existence was very special. It can be said to be one of planets that haven"t been completely conquered in the Machine Field. Majority of the reason for this was because its environment was terrible.
Yellowsand Planet was situated at the edge of the Machine Field. Even if it wasn"t far away from the Cultivation Realm, it was still closer to the Machine Field. But even if this was the case, only a few people from the Machine Field went there. In comparison, there were more Cultivators that frequented the planet.
Yellowsand Planet consists of 70% land and 30% water. Then dividing the land was 70% desert and 30% mountains. Its years lasted for 12 months with ten of them filled with hurricanes and two months where it rained.
The winds that blew on the planet weren"t ordinary winds, they were violent ones. These were the type of winds that would destroy a human body upon contact. Even experts wouldn"t be able to last long once they were buffeted by these winds. And eventually, their bodies would end up drying up before they die.
Generally, such unforgiving environment wouldn"t be able to support life. However, the planet actually had a lot of lifeforms, both fauna and flora.
There was nothing else to say about plants since they could live in the most extreme of environments. And on this planet, even the most common gra.s.s had strong medicinal characteristics.
The most famous aspect about Yellowsand Planet was one of the animals living there, the Hurricane Beasts! n.o.body knew how these beasts were able to survive such a terrible environment. And even while being hit by merciless winds, they were still able to move freely and unfettered.
And since they were living in a terrible environment, they evolved into strong beings. Even the smallest and weakest one of them were at level 1 strength. It was also rumored that the strongest beast could be considered a powerful expert in the Cultivation Realm.
But what was peculiar about these beasts was the fact that even if they had the strength, they still wouldn"t leave the planet.
With all these things added together, Yellowsand Planet became quite famous not only in the Machine Field, but in the entire World of Cultivation. Every year there would be plenty of people who would go to the planet and take risks to harvest some plants. This was because the planet"s plants fetch a very high price in the market.
When Zhao Hai heard Cadjo say that the elimination round would happen in Yellowsand Planet, he couldn"t help but stare. The planet was infamous for being unforgiving. There were plenty who risked entering the planet for riches, with only a few managing to survive. And more importantly, among these risk takers were famous individuals in the Cultivation Realm. There was no exception to who survived or died in that place.
Zhao Hai frowned and asked, "Are they treating Yellowsand Planet lightly? What results do they want to see? Or do they want all of us to die there?"
Cadjo smiled bitterly and said, "This time, the number of partic.i.p.ants in the qualifiers had exceeded 100 thousand. Can you imagine thinning these amount of people and leaving only 150 people behind? Among these 150 people, 100 are the official partic.i.p.ants in the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion while 50 are reserves. Because of the amount of partic.i.p.ants, the committee decided to choose Yellowsand Planet for the compet.i.tion. But you don"t need to worry. The place that the committee chose is a relatively safe place in the planet."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "I"m not worried about myself, I"m concerned about the other partic.i.p.ants. The partic.i.p.ants are mostly comprised of elites from External Halls. If a lot of these people die, then it wouldn"t be good for the Machine Field. This survival elimination round is borderline unfair. We not only have to face our opponents, we would also face the environment and the beasts. Even the top ten partic.i.p.ants wouldn"t be able to hold out for long when faced with those beasts. If one of those ten gets killed by a beast, then it would decrease our chances of winning against the other realms. I really don"t know what the idiots of the committee are thinking about, to actually come up with a stupid idea."
Cadjo couldn"t help but bitterly smile. To be honest, he also didn"t approve of this arrangement. However, it was easy for people to speak than to be heard. He gave his opinion to the committee only to be stopped and said that luck was a part of one"s strength.
Cadjo thought that this reason was simply fart. However, he didn"t have any means to change the decision. He could only accept it or have his partic.i.p.ants withdraw.
Desbarres sighed and said, "Forget it, if someone really dies, then that"s their bad luck. Those fellows in the committee had their heads too high that they won"t listen to us. The survival elimination will only last for three days. You only need to survive against the beasts for three days and then you"ll be picked up after. And if you feel that you can no longer last, you can release a signal and someone will fetch you. However, all those who needed rescue would be eliminated."
Cadjo said, "Although three days isn"t long, it isn"t short either. After all, it is Yellowsand Planet. And after three days, those who didn"t die nor eliminated will enter a formal compet.i.tion."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright. In any case, it won"t affect me. We should inform the others about this so that we can team up. This way, everyone can have more opportunities to survive."
Cadjo"s expression changed as he said, "Little Hai, you can"t. You"re the family"s biggest hope. If you join up with the others, then they would drag you down. You"re biggest priority is surviving, understood?"
When Zhao Hai heard Cadjo, he knew that he couldn"t say anything to change his mind. However, he still said, "I"m aware of that. But General Manager, I think it"s still better to group up at the very beginning. I"ll try to help them any way I can."
Cadjo smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I agree, it is still impossible. You aren"t permitted to bring any electronics to the planet and each partic.i.p.ant will be randomly a.s.signed to a transport s.h.i.+p. It"s impossible to team up in a short time. Because of this, I didn"t consider forming teams."
When Zhao Hai heard Cadjo, he couldn"t help but bitterly smile. It seems like the committee really wants the partic.i.p.ants to suffocate and die. They even removed any means to better survive the situation.
