Chapter 125 - Obsidian Dimensional World
Vincent left his dormitory early the next morning. He rushed over to the venue of the ranking compet.i.tion.
There were many students on the way to the compet.i.tion as well. When they saw Vincent, they pulled away from him. They maintained a gap of more than two meters. They all seemed a little afraid of him.
Vincent did not care. He could also guess why everyone was afraid of him.
It was his Sky-Burning Sword technique that brought about the natural suppression of the Beast Race.
Vincent arrived at the qualifying arena. He was a little speechless after he saw the sea of students.
Why did he not remember that Blizzard School had so many students?
The news that Vincent knew fire elemental battle techniques had spread throughout the entire school in just one day.
When he first arrived, he shattered the strength stone with just one punch. His strength attracted a lot of attention. People were even more curious when they found out that he knew how to use fire elemental battle techniques.
Those who believed him wanted to see it with their own eyes and ask him for advice.
Those who did not believe him wanted to expose him in public. Although the swindler"s t.i.tle was not as bad as the coward"s t.i.tle, it was still a very shameful t.i.tle to have in the Beast Race.
Those who were waiting to partic.i.p.ate and watch the qualifying match saw Vincent walking over. They all made way for him.
Vincent did not stand on ceremony either. He walked through the crowd and walked directly to the front.
Although everyone made way for Vincent, not all of them were used to Vincent"s behavior.
They all had vicious expressions on their faces when they saw Vincent behaving that way. They thought that the qualifying match would give Vincent an unforgettable lesson.
At around eight o"clock in the morning, an individual wearing a black robe, his gender hidden, walked onto the stage. He was holding a dragon-headed walking stick. His right hand looked dry, like an old tree root.
Behind the black-robed individual stood teachers from various races. Among them were the admissions teachers that Vincent had met before, the deer-headed teachers, and the teachers from the Hall of Records.
It was obvious that the black-robed individual had a higher status than the rest of the teachers in Blizzard School.
It was the Princ.i.p.al of Blizzard School!
"Students, the annual ranking compet.i.tion has begun once again. This time, in response to the Fox King"s order, we have adopted a different compet.i.tion method compared to the previous years."
Blizzard School"s princ.i.p.al"s voice was hoa.r.s.e, but it was still full of energy. His left hand stretched out from his black robe. He was holding a black ball in his palm.
The black ball emitted a faint halo and looked like an eyeball under the sunlight.
"This is the Obsidian Dimension World. The Fox King had brought it back from the Crystal World. There is a total of 136,789 obsidian. Every school in Beast World has one and it is used to train students."
"This obsidian world has its own internal world. It can simulate all kinds of scenes. Moreover, these scenes can change immediately. No one knows what kind of scenes they will encounter when they enter."
"The ranking compet.i.tion will be held in this obsidian world. The ranking will be based on the order in which they are listed. Everyone will have a mission. If they complete the mission, they will get points. If they fail to complete the mission, their points will not be deducted. One point is exchanged for one minute!"
"In other words, the longer you stay in the Obsidian Dimension World, the less certain you will be of victory."
After the princ.i.p.al finished speaking, he threw the black ball into the air with his left hand. The black ball floated in the air.
He then waved his left hand at the students. A black ball that was the size of a soybean appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
"This is the obsidian for each of you. It has the power to send you out of the Obsidian Dimension World. If you feel like you can"t stay inside for long, you can crush it at any time, and it will take you away."
The princ.i.p.al continued to explain, "Furthermore, this is the mission for each of you. If you want to complete more, you need to compete for others."
The princ.i.p.al then ended his speech. He had said everything that needed to be said. The rest was for the students to figure out on their own.
"The compet.i.tion begins now!" said the teacher of the Hall of Records loudly.
Suddenly, Vincent felt a powerful suction force coming from the black ball. He had no way of resisting it. He flew towards the black ball.
The other students were in the same situation. In an instant, all the students were sucked into the black ball.
Only after Vincent entered the black ball could he see again. When he could see his surroundings clearly again, he realized that he was in Beast Village.
The village was extremely dilapidated. The ground was full of weeds, and there was a rotten smell in the air.
There was no one present on the street, and the houses on both sides of the road were dilapidated.
The doors, windows, pillars, walls...
Most of their paint had fallen off and were very mottled.
The gla.s.s was broken. Only a window frame was left.
If it was nighttime, such an environment would frighten one easily to death.
Of course, it was currently daytime. Although it did not look very scary, it still looked rather desolate.
Vincent did not care. He opened his palm and looked at the black ball. He suddenly heard a message in his ear.
"You will need to survive in this village for two days and one night in order to pa.s.s."
The voice sounded like the voice of the princ.i.p.al.
Vincent curled his lips and put the black ball away.
Although the village was dilapidated and desolate, it was not difficult to live there for two days and one night.
Vincent had thought that it would be a difficult task, but it turned out to be just that.
For a moment, he felt a little disinterested.
Of course, although he was not interested, he knew that the village was not as simple as it looked.
If the task was so simple, the difficulty of the qualifying compet.i.tion would have been greatly exaggerated.
Vincent walked forward after observing the situation around him. He wanted to look around the village.
In a completely unfamiliar environment, the first thing he had to do was to understand the situation around him. If he encountered any unexpected situations, he had to know where he could retreat to.
This was to ensure that he would be able to solve a problem if a situation arises. If there was no problem, then he could just take his time there to relax. After all, he had nothing to do at the moment.
If others were to find out that Vincent was not concerned about the qualifying match, they would definitely be surprised.
The previous qualifying matches were not simple. Plus, this time, they had even changed the format of the qualifying match. It was unlikely for it to be simple.
Nevertheless, Vincent was not nervous at all. To others, how could it not be surprising?
Vincent had been walking in the village for more than half an hour. However, he still had not seen the end of the village.
This proved one thing. The village was much bigger than he had imagined.
Rather than calling it a village, it was better to label it as a city with no buildings.
It was too big.
Nevertheless, after some thought, it was understandable. After all, all the students from Blizzard School were there. If the village was small, then the qualifying match would not be any different from a battle.
Vincent was partic.i.p.ating in the qualifying match for the first time. It was also the first time he had even heard of the qualifying match. There were many things that he had not considered.
However, he had a strong ability to accept things. He did not take it seriously at all.
Soon, it was afternoon. The sun in the sky was very vicious. Vincent was very curious. How could there be such a large sun in a dimensional s.p.a.ce?
Just as he was about to find a place to hide from the sun, he was stopped by a somewhat familiar voice.
"Vincent! Stop right there!"
