[Note: Each venue can only accommodate a maximum of 100 people. If the number of participants falls below 20, additional participants will be drawn from other venues. Have fun and all the best!]

The game system's public announcement caused an uproar among players.

What did they hear? They could choose the abilities they wanted.

More importantly, winning first place also allows you to negotiate with the system and gain the ability to leave.

The announcement from the game system completely ignited the players' competitive spirit and their desire to leave.

Players in Zone 7 generally expressed the following opinions.

[Stars and Stripes: This time, I'm going to get first place. I'm going to get the chance to leave this world. I don't want to stay here anymore.]

[Kimchi Section: Damn it, I want to get out too! I don't want to stay in this world without kimchi.]

[Emperor's District: You lowly boars are no match for me. Once we enter the Sky Arena, none of you will be my match. I will slaughter you all.]

[White Bear Zone: Fighting is in our national nature. I want to take first place and gain the abilities and opportunities I desire.]

[Romantic Zone: Oh, I've had enough of this damn world. I'm leaving and going back to the real world.]

[The Sun Never Sets in the District: This is really not good news for me.]

[China Region: Clown. Image caption: 'It's you guys!']

Is there a chance to get out? Is this a mercy from the game system, or a way for it to incentivize players to fight?

This time, even players who didn't want to compete were drawn into the battlefield. Clearly, the bait thrown out by the game system was extremely tempting.

Who can refuse a skill they desperately want, or an opportunity to leave the world of sea?

After all, the game system only mentioned opening the Sky Arena and the Subterranean Arena, without providing any details. What exactly does the arena offer?

This means that it may not necessarily be a battle; it could be in other forms. If they perform well enough on the battlefield, they can get a chance to leave once they win.

Hundreds and thousands of competition venues mean hundreds and thousands of opportunities.

Each of them has the potential to either leave or become stronger.

Shen Jue's overall ranking is just below 500.

You can enter the Sky Arena.

After the Sky Arena opened, the top 500 players on the overall leaderboard felt a strong suction force on them.

The next second, they disappeared from their raft and entered another space.

This space is the game system, a large-scale breeding ground specifically prepared for players.

Here, He will nurture more promising talents and promising players.

We're still missing a few seeded players, and then we can start preparing to launch that project.

Shen Jue and the other players were unaware of the game system's plans, nor did they know that they had become pawns in the game system's game.

Right now, she's curiously looking around at this sky arena.

This is the real sky arena, with soft, fluffy clouds beneath your feet.

It overlapped with the cloud illusion we saw before.

But Shen Jue knew clearly that the cloud beneath her feet was soft and tangible.

The prompt also told her that she had indeed entered the Sky Arena, not a deceptive illusion.

This was the second time Qingfeng had witnessed such a scene, and he was already quite calm about it.

But Lili was different; she found everything here novel.

After entering, Shen Jue sensed that there was no danger around, and only then did he feel at ease letting Lili go play.

With Shen Jue's permission and after learning that the clouds were not dangerous, Lili plunged headfirst into one of them.

In the past, when Qingfeng took her flying in the sky, those clouds would disperse at the slightest touch, unlike these clouds which felt soft and bouncy to the touch.

Ah, such soft clouds, such comfortable clouds, she loves this sky arena.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Jue quickly read the rules of the Sky Arena.

The rules for Sky Arena are as follows:

First, earn points.

Secondly, there are various tasks in the Sky Arena. Each completed task earns one point.

Third, players can hunt other players. For each player killed, players not only gain one point, but also inherit the points currently held by the player.

Fourth, try to find the origin of the Sky Arena as much as possible.

Finally, the candidate with the highest combined score and overall performance on the Sky Arena will be chosen to play one of the two options.

Choose option one to acquire the ability you desire most (abilities already acquired by other players cannot be duplicated).

Option two: Return to the real world with a large sum of money.

Finally, Sky Arena, we wish you a pleasant gaming experience.

This information is really interesting.

However, to Shen Jue's surprise, the game system was actually for real, offering a choice between leaving this place and returning to the real world.

It has to be said that this choice is really tempting for most players, and even Shen Jue is somewhat tempted.

But he has already made his choice. There's nothing wrong with staying in this world.

Even if she dies in the end, it's because she was weak. The victor is king, the loser is villain. She's dead, and she can't blame anyone else.

Moreover, she has no ties in this world, so whether she goes back or not is no longer important to her.

Since Sky Arena says there are all sorts of missions here, he can now begin his mission journey. If he encounters any players who attack him, he will not hesitate to eliminate them.

That's how the rules are in competition; if you're soft-hearted, you'll only hurt yourself.

As for the Sky Arena mission, that's easy. Just follow the prompts, and you'll find it eventually.

(Walk forward 800 meters, there's something unusual there.)

Upon hearing this prompt, Shen Jue knew that her first task was about to begin.

"Lili, stop playing and let's go."

"Okay. Big guy. Take me with you!"

Qingfeng shook his head helplessly; he would carry the little Vermilion Bird he was carrying.

Qingfeng came to Lili's side and waited for her to fly up.

Lili can fly now, but her flying posture isn't very graceful. Perhaps she didn't inherit the elegant flying talent of her Vermilion Bird clan.

So under normal circumstances, Lili would command Qingfeng to carry her, which would not only prevent her from flying poorly but also make her look very impressive.

Qingfeng flew towards Shenjue's side with Lili in his arms.

Shen Jue was ahead, and following the signs, ran more than 800 meters to this location.

The surrounding environment made her feel a little uncomfortable.

This feeling isn't fear, it's just a general feeling of discomfort.

It's quite rare for a side quest to make him this uncomfortable. Shen Jue has never felt this way in previous quests.

It felt like being watched by some kind of creature.

The only difference was that the snow-white clouds around us had turned into a variety of colors.

They look like enlarged versions of colorful cotton candy.

Shen Jue did not rush in immediately; instead, she tossed out a small puppet card.

She sent the little puppet to scout the way for her.

The edges of the small puppet card emitted a faint starlight.

The small puppet that was then released circled around Shen Jue once.

Its body is made of cork and springs.

“Go!” Shen Jue pointed to the colorful clouds in front of him.

The little puppet has no intelligence; it only knows how to carry out its master's orders.

It flew towards the colorful clouds.

After it entered the area covered by colorful clouds.

The colorful clouds slowly changed.

Their colors began to change, half turning red and half turning black.

Meanwhile, the small puppet that went out to scout ahead was enveloped by the surrounding black and red clouds with a bang, and then exploded.

After the little puppet exploded, she triggered the first points mission in the Sky Arena.

[Exploring the reasons why colorful clouds transform into black and red clouds.]

It's not surprising that she chose this option after triggering the quest; the only slight pity is that she lost a Little Puppet Card.

The fact that she accepted the points-based mission after only losing one puppet card made it all worthwhile.

She could earn one point simply by exploring why the colorful clouds turned into black and red clouds. Shen Jue guessed that completing the task in this sky arena shouldn't be difficult; the difficulty lay in how to trigger the task.

To verify that her conjecture was correct, Shen Xue practiced her calculation skills again.

Successfully increased the learning progress by 1%.

Judging from this rate of increase, isn't this progressing much faster than the calculations she usually practices?

Perhaps her calculation abilities will improve significantly after participating in this competition.

After that feeling subsided, Shen Jue stepped into the area filled with black and red clouds.

After some searching, no clues were found, but Shen Jue remained calm.

When faced with indecision, metaphysics offers assistance.

The divination method her third sister taught her is quite accurate and useful unless it's for predicting major events.

While Shen Jue was making calculations, Qingfeng and Lili stayed beside him, protecting him.

After performing a rather ritualistic calculation, Shen Jue's brows relaxed even more.

This has potential!

Its calculation capabilities are truly impressive; if used properly, it could be the most powerful auxiliary tool.

According to the measurement capabilities, the changes in the clouds are mainly due to the influence of the surrounding environment.

Without any other factors, Shen Jue was somewhat skeptical, as she had previously conducted investigations into the entire environment, not just focusing on mental observations.

They even brought out environmental monitoring equipment, but the final conclusion was that the environment did not affect the changes in the black and red clouds.

Unexpectedly, the calculation results contradicted the results of her personal experience.

But think about it, practice is meant to break down barriers.

Shen Jue then felt relieved.

Instead, they re-explored the environment, hoping to find some more clues.

Shen Jue left no stone unturned, and even planned to recalculate the results to find new clues.

Suddenly, Lili spoke up.

"Sister, I know where to find it!"
