Chapter 2351: Simple and Rough Elimination
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The corners of Zhao Qinglong’s mouth curled up into a smile. When the first round of the qualifiers started, he took the lead to walk towards the black tower.
Han Fei looked at the distance, wondering how to pa.s.s the test.
However, to Han Fei’s surprise, Zhao Qinglong walked out after only two seconds, and a green light appeared on the huge door of the tower.
At this time, the referee said, “In the first round of the qualifiers, the green light represents a successful advancement, and the red light represents elimination. Now please enter the arena one by one.”
For a moment, many people were surprised but then relieved. It was only the first round of the qualifiers. There were so many people waiting for the test. The speed of the test must be very fast.
!!
After that, Feng Yu walked in, and as everyone expected, she came out in less than two seconds.
Then one, two, three… About half an hour pa.s.sed when it was Han Fei’s turn.
Before Han Fei, no one would fail the challenge. This was because most of the people in Han Fei’s ranking range had some reputation and were real strong masters. Their basic combat power was mostly in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. Under such circ.u.mstances, how could anyone fail the first round?
When it was Han Fei’s turn, he didn’t waste any time and stepped into the door.
As soon as he entered this place, Han Fei discovered that the s.p.a.ce here was abnormal. There was a Great Dao of Time here, extending the time here to a certain extent. Because there was no comparison, Han Fei didn’t know how much time was extended here.
Apart from the Great Dao of Time, the gravity here was ten thousand times that of the outside world. One couldn’t borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao here. This place seemed to suppress the power of the soul, and there was no power to borrow in the void. One couldn’t connect to their Origin Stars here, but they seemed to be able to summon their spiritual beasts.
This was a sea area. Han Fei was standing on the surface of the sea, and what came at him was a huge wave as high as 100,000 feet. This huge wave was about to hit him. Furthermore, as the wave got closer and closer, the pressure his soul felt became greater and greater. It seemed that this tide contained some kind of Great Dao suppressing pressure.
But Han Fei had seen all kinds of storms. He immediately saw a light bead wrapped in the huge wave. When he saw that, Han Fei knew the elimination rules in the first round of the qualifiers. In this s.p.a.ce, there was the suppression of the Great Dao, requiring the partic.i.p.ants to penetrate the wave with their own strength and grab the light bead as quickly as possible under tens of thousands of times the gravity.
Although it was just a simple test, firstly, it tested your speed. Because of the influence of gravity and the lack of power in various aspects here, the normal speed of outburst couldn’t be so fast.
In addition to speed, it also tested one’s observation ability, strength, soul, resistance, and physical strength. Therefore, although it was simple and crude, it was also the most direct. It was meant to test one’s basic strength. If one couldn’t even reach the basic standard, then don’t partic.i.p.ate in the ten-thousand-year compet.i.tion.
Buzz!
However, Han Fei’s physique, soul, and speed exceeded the strength of ordinary people, so even if he didn’t use anything, he arrived in front of the wave in an instant.
Bang!
After punching through the tsunami, Han Fei grabbed back and held the light bead in his hand. The light bead appeared in Han Fei’s hand, then turned into a ray of light and melted into the qualification token. A faint pattern appeared on the qualification token, indicating that the first round of qualifiers had been pa.s.sed.
When the light bead was grabbed, everything returned to calm, and Han Fei was directly teleported to their door and stepped out of the black tower.
At this moment, a green light appeared above his head, and Feng Xingliu’s voice reached Han Fei’s ears. “You came out less than two seconds after you entered. Do you want to wait for me?”
Han Fei looked at the ranking and smiled. “I’ll wait for you at my residence.”
Feng Xingliu: “…”
…
The first round of the qualifiers was meaningless. The purpose was too simple.
During these three days, Han Fei lay in his yard and cultivated in seclusion. In fact, he just lay there and waited for his Origin Star to stop shaking.
However, Han Fei underestimated the power impact after the Origin Returning last time. Even now, his Origin Star was still shaking. Obviously, he conducted the Origin Returning before molding the ground veins back then, which caused a lot of energy to be unable to be released.
It had been 40 years on his Origin Star. Although the magnitude of the earthquake had decreased, Han Fei estimated that it might still take decades, so it shouldn’t be possible to hurriedly mold the ground veins.
Fortunately, this hundred-thousand-year compet.i.tion would last for a long time. Just such a simple first round of qualifiers would take three days. Then the difficulty of the second round would definitely increase a lot. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be effective at all.
Therefore, Han Fei was sure that the increase in the difficulty of the second round would inevitably lead to the prolongation of the compet.i.tion. Of course, if hundreds of thousands of people could partic.i.p.ate at the same time, it would be a different story.
Three days later.
The final screening results of the first round of qualifiers were out. The elimination rate was only 8%, not even 10%. This also meant that those who could survive all the dangers to reach the Divine Capital Dynasty were more or less capable.
This was because G.o.d knew how many of the 8% of the eliminated people bought the qualification tokens. These people just bought the qualification tokens as tickets. They didn’t care if they partic.i.p.ated or not. They mainly wanted to watch the battles.
Therefore, it didn’t matter even if they were eliminated in the first round.
Besides, Han Fei estimated that it might not be able to eliminate all these people in the first round. After all, those born in the Divine Capital Dynasty were not weaklings.
In comparison, the elimination rate of Sea Establishment and Venerables was much higher. About 14% of Sea Establishers and 18% of Venerables were eliminated, but there were too many Venerables in this world. It was said that the 18% was as many as millions of Venerables.
The fourth day.
All the partic.i.p.ants continued to gather on the 101st island. It was still the black tower, but this time was different from last time.
The referee of the 10,000-year compet.i.tion said, “The partic.i.p.ants of the second round of qualifiers will challenge the tower. After this round, only the top 50% of the contestants can stay. The second round of qualifiers will start in an hour. This round of qualifiers will last for three months.”
“Hiss! The elimination rate has reached half?”
“Three months? So long?”
“One out of two?The real compet.i.tion of ten thousand years has begun.”
Many people were shocked. What did an elimination rate of 50% mean? As long as they successfully advanced, it meant that they had eliminated the mid or high-leveled partic.i.p.ants of this round.
In the wilderness, the mid-level and upper-level of the compet.i.tion was equivalent to the upper-level.
Whether it was to compete for a place or to prove their strength, most people would try their best in this round.
Han Fei frowned slightly. Three months was not a short time. Besides, the referee didn’t mention anything about hunting. It could be seen that this round didn’t involve conflicts between the partic.i.p.ants.
Therefore, this was probably a large-scale comprehensive test for everyone.
An hour later.
The eight doors of the black high tower opened at the same time, and a huge teleportation array burst out from the doors.
The referee shouted, “All partic.i.p.ants, enter the arena quickly. The second round of qualifiers has officially begun.”
…
Because Han Fei was ranked very high, he didn’t need to wait. He was the first to be teleported in. After coming in, he found himself in a wave again.
As far as he could see, it was a crab crawling on the surface of the sea. As he spread out his perception, there was only one crab within a radius of about 80,000 kilometers.
“Heh! Fight a crab?”
In Han Fei’s heart, the qualifiers were meaningless. The four rounds of the qualifiers were just to constantly screen really qualified partic.i.p.ants.
When this hill-like Sky Opening realm crab appeared, Han Fei knew that this was a simulated battlefield. He even suspected that this was an illusion, but so far he hadn’t found any traces of illusions.
Han Fei could feel the power of the crab. It was just a beginner in the Sky Opening Realm! At this moment, the crab’s claws were like phantoms as it rushed towards Han Fei. Wherever it pa.s.sed, faint black marks appeared on the sea. When it was still more than 3,000 kilometers away from Han Fei, two huge pincers were raised, and it smashed them down like hammers.
Boom ~
Han Fei just raised his hand casually, and the seawater under his feet sank dozens of kilometers. But Han Fei didn’t move at all. Instead, cracks appeared on the crab’s pincers.
Bang!
Han Fei punched back. With just an ordinary punch, the two giant pincers were shattered.
The crab was punched through by Han Fei, but Han Fei was not happy at all.
Three months?
With such a long screening time, the test couldn’t be that simple.
After piercing through the crab, a teleportation array appeared where the crab dissipated.
When Han Fei stepped into the teleportation array and was sent to a sea area, he saw a jellyfish.
The jellyfish on the second floor were obviously stronger than the crabs on the first floor. It was about 10% stronger. And its attack method was to release poisonous mist and strange tentacles, like vines all over the sea, like the means of manipulators.
Similarly, Han Fei minced the jellyfish with the Million Knife Art.
On the third floor, Han Fei encountered a sea urchin, which was about one level stronger than the second floor.
At this moment, Han Fei felt that something was wrong. Wasn’t the strength of the creatures on each floor growing a little too much? According to this speed of strength growth, Han Fei estimated that he probably wouldn’t be able to defeat them if he went dozens of floors higher.
