Chapter 2443: The Significance of Watching the Compet.i.tion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Sea Establishment realm had its own rules, so did the Sky Opening realm.
The referee said, “The most important rule of the Sky Opening Realm compet.i.tion is that killing is not allowed.”
The major factions naturally knew this rule. For Han Fei, he had already expected it. The location of the fourth round of qualifiers was in the Demon Domain. Han Fei knew that this was more like training.
The so-called once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year compet.i.tion was definitely not just a compet.i.tion. Han Fei thought that the Divine Capital Dynasty was consciously nurturing these relatively strong Sky Opening Realm experts. Somehow, he felt that this was not a good thing.
Otherwise, not only would the resources from the Demon Domain go into the pockets of the partic.i.p.ants, but they would also be given additional merit points. This was worth thinking about. There was no free lunch in the world.
!!
Han Fei felt that something big was going to happen, which required the support of manpower, which was why intentional killing was not allowed in the matches.
The referee continued.
“Each Sky Opening-Realm match will last for at most two hours. If any match exceeds this time, it’ll be subject to the referee’ judgment.”
“During the game, no G.o.dly weapons, divine techniques, or powerful auxiliary resources are allowed to be used.”
“There are eight rounds of regular matches in the arena matches. Every contestant who advances one round can obtain 1,000 merit points.”
“All the partic.i.p.ants, regardless of your strength, if you can show your unique potential, will have a chance to be recruited by the powers of the East Sea Divine Realm. In this compet.i.tion, there are a total of 48 factions here to select talents. Therefore, if you win the compet.i.tion, it may change your fate.”
“Hiss!”
“We’ll be rewarded with merits if we advance?”
“So many forces are here to select talents? Anyone who can partic.i.p.ate now has a chance of being recruited? Oh gosh… I thought the qualifiers were just a start. I didn’t expect the fourth round of qualifiers to be the end!”
“F*ck, I was tricked! If I had known earlier, I would have partic.i.p.ated in the fourth round of qualifiers no matter what!”
For a moment, those who withdrew from the fourth round of qualifiers were all regretful. They had already regretted it once. But this time, they really cried. They had made a choice and directly ruined their bright future!
However, the referee suddenly glanced at the spectator seats and said, “All the audience, if anyone is unwilling to give up and really has the heart to become strong, you can go to the Sky Crater World after this 100,000-year compet.i.tion. The reward of merit in the Sky Crater World will be doubled. The merits are also effective in the Divine Capital Dynasty. This opportunity is rare and comes once in a hundred thousand years… Of course, I’m just suggesting. It’s up to you whether to go or not.”
Hearing this, Han Fei couldn’t help but say, “This is clearly a temptation! It seems that something big is about to happen in the Sea Realm. Do you know what it is?”
The battle in the Sky Crater World had to be expanded, and even the merit reward had been doubled. Han Fei’s original guess was that the Immortal Temple was going to come to attack, but on second thought, the ultimate goals of the three Temples were the same. The fourth round involved the ominous. Therefore, this time, they might not be fighting the Immortal Temple in the Sky Crater World.
Han Fei was waiting for Zhou Run to answer. As far as he could tell, this guy was smarter than everyone else.
Zhou Run said, “My guess is that everything now should be related to the Demon Domain and the Sea of Stars. Therefore, no matter what happens in the near future, my suggestion is not to partic.i.p.ate, at least not in the first batch.”
Han Fei asked, “Oh? Are you so sure?”
Zhou Run said, “In the past, in the ten-thousand-year compet.i.tion, there has never been such a situation. The rewards in the Sky Crater World are doubled, which has happened many times in history. It’s just that… after each time, a large number of strong masters died, and a large number of strong masters rose. But in the end… more people died or disappeared than rose. I’ve studied this matter. From some gossip, there are traces indicating that many people actually didn’t die in a battlefield like the Sky Crater World… but in the Sea of Stars.”
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Zhou Run hurriedly said, “Don’t look at me. I don’t know much about this kind of thing. We have no access to our families’ core secrets. But in fact, don’t panic. No matter what the purpose is, it will slowly be revealed. It’s just a matter of time.”
Han Fei nodded. What Zhou Run said was true. He still had a lot of things to do. After he was done, maybe these secrets were no longer secrets.
At this moment, the referee shouted, “Now, I announce that the Sky Opening Realm compet.i.tion, which happens once every 100,000 years, has officially begun. Now the first ten teams get on the arena.”
At this time, Han Fei and the others had already taken their seats, and the first batch of contestants were all ready, waiting for the game to begin.
Now, there would be merit points for every round of advancement. Out of everyone’s expectations, they had thought that there would be no rewards except for the top ten. It was easiest to gain the merit points in the first round, so all the partic.i.p.ants would try their best.
At this time, Han Fei saw that while the referee was speaking, more and more people came in, and seven or eight hundred thousand people had already taken their seats.
Because the ten arenas occupied a huge area, there was no such thing as seating arrangement. Everyone came in and sat down randomly. Those who were close would gather in groups.
However, Han Fei still felt many perceptions sweep over. He turned around and found that Feng Yu had come, but Feng Yu had come with a princess. The two of them were watching and drinking tea.
Also, the disciples of major forces such as Wushuang, w.a.n.g Beichen, and Deng Xingtian were gathered together. Although there would be conflicts among these forces, as equal forces, they disdained to a.s.sociate with others, so they also gathered together.
At this moment, Han Fei and the others naturally didn’t know any of the people in the ring. They were all from various places in the wilderness. Who could recognize them all?
Perhaps someone knew them, but it wasn’t Han Fei and the others.
From the moment the contestants entered the arenas and the game began, there were occasional voices in the auditorium, but not many.
As for Han Fei, while recalling and sorting out the synchronized memories of Nezha and Zhang Daqian, he extracted the essence from his memories and fed it back to Nezha and Zhang Daqian.
But this wouldn’t distract Han Fei. For example, at this moment, even Feng Xingliu pointed to the field in surprise and said, “Han Fei, look, that person can predict the enemy’s attack method.”
It was Arena Four, a female cultivator who used a golden wheel. Golden light appeared in her eyes as she accurately predicted her opponent’s movement and technique.
Han Fei said casually, “She has a Pupil Spell. It’s a rare talent.”
At this moment, Han Fei saw that the golden wheel in the woman’s hand turned into thousands of golden mirrors, and the golden light s.h.i.+ning out of the mirrors formed a golden cage.
His opponent, a middle-aged man, suddenly took out a pair of large scissors and turned into a rotating blade, which could actually cut off the light.
In an instant, the two of them fought hundreds of times. This female cultivator was agile and precise. Han Fei looked at her opponent, who seemed to be a lobster-man, because the woman was accidentally brushed by two long whiskers and sent flying into the barrier.
Feng Xingliu: “Han Fei, who do you think will win?”
Han Fei said, “Let them fight for now! If I’ve guessed right, this female cultivator will win. Although the big lobster’s strength and destructive power far exceed this female cultivator’s, his combat methods are relatively ordinary and he doesn’t have any special techniques. If this situation continues, he will be defeated in about half an hour.”
“Oh, is that so? I’ve learned it.”
Feng Xingliu nodded slightly. He felt that the female cultivator’s attack power was too weak. As long as the lobster-man seized the opportunity, he might be able to beat her. However, Han Fei’s explanation was reasonable. This lobster’s combat skills were not good indeed.
Then, Han Fei turned his eyes to the sixth arena next door. It was a man covered in black crystal armor, who seemed to be from a mineral race. His opponent was also a female cultivator who practiced body-refining fist techniques. The black crystal man wanted to attack, but he was affected by the overlapping airflow around him.
Swis.h.!.+
Suddenly, a lightning hook that was at least eight times the speed of light shot out at the female boxer. The latter didn’t have time to react. She clenched her fists and the Great Dao of Wind gathered around her, turning her into wind.
For a moment, the entire arena was filled with a strong wind.
Knock, knock, knock!
The woman no longer appeared and attacked crazily. Fist marks erupted from all directions.
“Puff! Huff! d.a.m.n, what violent fists.”
Wu Bufan took a deep breath of his pipe and exclaimed, “This female boxer is too strong.”
Feng Xingliu: “I think I can beat her.”
Han Fei smiled. “Really? Take a closer look.”
Everyone looked over in confusion, only to see that some crystal sand appeared inexplicably in the arena. Under the storm, it erupted with superluminal speed and swept across the entire arena.
However, a force field distortion appeared in a s.p.a.ce in the arena.
In the next moment, a fist light burst out in the distorted s.p.a.ce, and the void distorted all the way down until the distorted s.p.a.ce surrounded the black crystal-armored man. His power was about to collapse in this distorted s.p.a.ce.
Zhou Run said, “It’s the Dao of Strength. This female cultivator has comprehended the Great Dao of Strength to an extremely high level. Although the Great Dao of Strength is rare, it’s a very strong Great Dao. It’s enough to suppress too many special Great Daos.”
Cao Mengde was surprised. “Is the Great Dao of Strength so strong?”
Han Fei said, “Yes! Strength seems ordinary, but it’s what everyone pursues. It’s only natural to be strong if you can comprehend what others can’t. This is why we watch these compet.i.tions.”
In the void, in the camp of the Fist Light Mountain, someone said, “We, the Fist Light Mountain, want the girl in the sixth arena. After the first round is over, contact her directly. There’s no need to wait.”
