On a parallel Blue Star, monsters run rampant, preying on humans. To combat this, humans gain the power of monsters and can awaken to transform into them.
On the day of awakening, broadcast l...
Chapter 223: The Competition Begins! Round 1! Targeting Lin Qitian!
"The competition is divided into three rounds. In the first round, we will eliminate 80% of the teams, leaving only the top 20."
"Because we are all a group, the assessment indicators are also targeted at the group. Now, you one hundred teams, a total of one thousand people, all come to this iron cage in front of me."
The neutral city of Guilford.
In the city center, there is an epic and huge arena that looks like the ancient Roman Colosseum that Luo Ming had read about in history books in his previous life.
There is a huge circular depression in the middle, with steps on both sides that are linked one after another, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch at the same time.
In addition, unmanned adaptive cruise aircraft developed by major technology companies are broadcast live around the world above the arena. These aircraft are marked with the logos of the technology companies, and their number is as numerous as mosquitoes flying in the sky.
On the huge circular arena in the fighting arena, there is a silver steel cage. The cage is fifty meters high and occupies the entire arena.
"It's huge... I think this arena is big enough for ten football teams to have a big fight."
Standing on the ring and looking at the stands, there are only densely packed heads, and the pixels have dropped to freezing point.
"This arena was built based on the size of the monsters. It's normal for it to be large."
Shen Huaqing walked over silently and said.
"really……"
The sizes of the monsters vary. Luo Ming has seen ones that are three to five meters long, and naturally he has also encountered ones like King Lu that are more than ten meters long.
That's why the iron cage is so big.
"Okay, let's all go in."
There are four referees in charge of the competition.
They were the mayor of Guildford, Lambonni, a short and fat man wearing a burgundy suit, leaning on a cane, and covered in gold and silver jewelry. His belly was so round that he looked like he was ten months pregnant.
A federal congressman, the Immortal King of the Lighthouse Ten Kings, he wore a striped shirt and leaned lazily on his seat with his collar open, revealing his thick chest hair and muscular body.
He held a glass of expensive red wine in his hand and had a casual look on his face.
And the leader of the Yanxia Shura Holy Group, who is also a federal member of parliament.
Yan Shura.
He is the youngest king-level warrior in Yanxia, with thick black hair tied behind his head, a long scar on his face, and an expressionless face, like a thousand-year-old ice cube.
Finally, it is the new CEO of God’s Hand, Lin Qitian!
This time, these four people will serve as referees.
"Twenty-five teams per person, that's about enough."
The Immortal King put down his wine glass, stood up and spoke lightly.
"That's enough."
Yan Xiuluo nodded.
"What about Mayor Lambo..."
"Let me do it for you."
The sound of golden armor shaking was heard, and a golden figure suddenly walked up to the referee's position.
"The Lighthouse Ten Kings, the Judgement King."
He bowed slightly to the crowd.
The only flaw was that he still had a bandage on his left eye, covering the red pupil.
"The first stage is easy. The four of us will release pressure simultaneously. The remaining twenty teams will advance to the second round. The others will be eliminated."
Lin Qitian stood up and spoke to the contestants on the ring with his hands behind his back.
In the Hundred Schools Competition, although every country has representatives, in reality, there are only a few teams that are truly strong.
The vast majority of them are cannon fodder, there to make up the numbers. The so-called best geniuses of some small countries may only be equivalent to ordinary students of Yanxia University.
Don’t forget, even ordinary students at Yanxia University are one in a million!
But here, any random person in their area might be a genius that is rarely seen in ten or twenty years!
It is conceivable how worthless genius is in this world.
The ten members of Yanxia's team basically sat together.
Resisting the pressure from a Black Jade-level figure is definitely not something they can endure in their human form.
Lights flickered in the cage.
Everyone transformed into monsters.
Luo Ming held the Heaven-Devouring Spear horizontally in front of him, blood-red flames surging around him, but his expression was calm, without any change.
The four Black Jade-level masters stood firmly in front of the stage, and then, a series of magnificent auras pressed down on the students like Mount Tai.
"puff!"
In just a moment, more than ten students were seen spitting blood due to being crushed, exiting the monster state, and being pulled out of the iron cage by medical staff.
"This must be the top talent from hundreds of countries, right? How come he's so weak and failed right at the start?"
Hundreds of countries are broadcasting live at the same time. I wonder how many people are watching this competition.
Barrages of comments popped up everywhere on the Internet.
"You think that the pressure from a Black Jade-level expert can crush you into a pulp? At that stage, even in human form, their combat power is already extremely powerful."
"Look at these big shots. They don't even need to transform. Just the aura they exude in their human form is enough to eliminate 80% of the students!"
Lin Qitian is in charge of the area where the Yanxia team is located.
He locked onto Luo Ming, who was in the center, at a glance.
"My dear grandson, let me test you and see how much monster power you have mastered!"
boom!
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
One hand completely transformed into a beast.
The pressure suddenly rose several levels!
Moreover, all this pressure was concentrated on Luo Ming.
Swish!
Luo Ming opened his eyes instantly, his body trembled slightly, and then he looked at the short old man on the platform.
This was also the first meeting between the grandfather and grandson!
The two are blood relatives, but the look in their eyes when they look at each other is extremely cold, and they are ruthless and will not stop until they kill the other!
"Grandpa...you can't do it either."
Luo Ming opened his mouth slightly, and the shape of his mouth changed slightly.
Lin Qitian's face darkened.
boom!
His white hair danced, and a strong murderous aura spread out.
“Puff!”
In an instant, seventy or eighty people in the area he was responsible for vomited blood at the same time, fell to the ground, and twitched.
Just the residual power emitted was enough to eliminate these contestants. One can imagine how much pressure Luo Ming was under in the middle of the storm.
The contestants from the Yanxia team beside Luo Ming also began to shake.
This pressure... is simply too strong!
As time went on, the pressure from the four Black Jade-level masters gradually increased, and half of them had been eliminated.
If more than half of a team can't hold on, the entire team will be completely eliminated!
This is what team battles are all about.
However... the seeded teams in this competition, such as Sakura Country, Britain, Gaul, India, Bear Country, Lighthouse Country, these favorite teams to win the championship, seem to be fine.
The Yanxia Kingdom, which was also in the storm, was already in danger.
“Puff!”
Guo Wuxiang spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.
At this time, there were still forty teams left!
When people from all over the world saw this scene on the Internet, they were shocked!
"Are the Yanxia contestants so vulnerable?"
"That's right, this is only the first level, and we're only halfway through, and already a Yanxia prodigy can't hold on?"
"You know, many geniuses from small countries have managed to hold on until now!"
"The quality of Yantian Jiao is too poor and is getting worse and worse!"
"This is hilarious! Earlier, Luo Ming from Yanxia said he would single-handedly fight against the geniuses of a hundred nations, but now it seems he's going to fight with his head!"
Netizens from all over the world mocked Yanxia Country in the barrage.
"how so?"
"With Guo Wuxiang's strength, there's absolutely no way he could fall in this round!"
Ye Changan, the team leader, frowned.
Moreover, the other contestants in Yanxia were also shaking violently, with expressions of pain on their faces.
It looked like it had reached a critical point.
"Something's wrong! It's absolutely wrong!"
Ye Changan's eyes were suddenly fixed on Lin Qitian on the high platform!
"There's only one truth! We were targeted by the referee! No...it should be said that Luo Ming was targeted by the referee!"
