The host skipped over all the warm-up routines until 6:30 p.m., when the eight contestants (see comments) were invited in, and only then did the host announce the competition content and rules.
"This competition will be conducted in a special way to fully assess the participants' abilities in strength, speed, reaction time, endurance, judgment, and other aspects. First, the competition venue will be shown."
As soon as he finished speaking, a 3D projection of the entire competition venue appeared.
The competition will take place in a virtual space, but the scene will be presented in the arena in a one-to-one replica.
Countless stone walls rose from the ground, and the stage floor was also cracked and cut into countless pieces. At the same time, a huge light screen unfolded behind.
At the top of the screen is the entire map and eight location coordinates. Below that are eight scene shots, each corresponding to one of the eight characters.
The entire map is divided into eight areas of different colors.
"This is an individual competition, and it will take place in the area indicated by color on the screen."
"Eight areas of eight colors correspond to the eight elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, no attribute, and no special ability."
Different elements have varying concentrations in different regions, affecting individuals with different abilities differently.
"During the competition, the playing space will change randomly. Players can choose paths and areas randomly, but crossing or destroying stone walls is prohibited. In each space, the opponents you may encounter are also random."
"The game is divided into two halves, each lasting thirty minutes, with a twenty-minute halftime break."
In each match, there is death and elimination. The last person remaining is the winner of today's match.
"In addition, our judges will provide real-time feedback during the competition."
As the host was speaking, the camera switched to Hua Changle, Hongye, and others.
"Alright, I hereby declare the competition open!"
AI launched in virtual system:
[Scenes open, players being deployed]
[Players deployed, game begins]
[Countdown: 29 minutes and 59 seconds]
The countdown was displayed in real time in front of everyone's camera; the eight people were placed in eight different spaces.
Some of the eight people were waiting, while others were observing.
There are eight regions with different attributes, but the spaces they divide into are more than eight. Among them, there are those without attributes and those with elemental attributes and special abilities, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Thirty seconds later, the stone wall moved for the first time.
Eight people, divided into three groups of three and two, matched up.
Zhang Bi, Qiu Zheng, and Jia Xu are located in the metal element region;
Han Shuang, Zhang Wanwan, and Wei Nuan are in the water element area;
Jiang Ya and Fu Guang are in the elementless region.
On the Jin side, Zhang Bi and Qiu Zheng, enemies meeting again, were extremely hostile. But knowing he couldn't defeat them alone, he immediately wanted to join forces with Jia Xu.
A smile appeared on Jia Xu's somewhat round face as he looked at Qiu Zheng and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Qiu, it would be too dangerous to meet you alone. This is a rare opportunity, so I apologize!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them rushed towards Qiu Zheng together!
Zhang Bi tore off his upper garment, revealing a pair of dark chestnut-brown wings on his back, and his hands, shaped like claws, covered with an earthy yellow metallic sheen.
This is the special ability of Zhang Ying's lineage: [Beast Transformation - Black Eagle]
One more point to add: although the stone walls are low, the lines of sight between different areas are not actually penetrating, so the site is not open to the air, and even if you take off, you cannot see the situation in other areas.
Jia Xu then held a copper coin in his hand. With a flash of golden light, the coin grew to the height of a person and flew towards Qiu Zheng with a whooshing sound.
This is the special ability of Master Bao's lineage: [Copper Ring]
Although it doesn't have outstanding performance, it can attack, defend, and imprison/control, making it a well-balanced artifact-type superpower in all aspects.
Moreover, the [Copper Ring] is a metallic ability, and it receives elemental enhancement in the gold element region.
Instead of advancing, Qiu Zheng retreated, immediately avoiding the copper coins.
The copper coin is versatile; once it gets close enough, it can change its binding mode to restrain a person.
Faced with two enemies, Qiu Zheng could not be controlled.
Qiu Zheng dodged the copper ring and was met by Zhang Bi, who was charging towards her.
This time, he didn't dodge.
Qiu Zheng gathered his strength and charged forward, a streak of azure light blooming in his hand.
"Bang—"
Zhang Bi was sent flying backward, adjusting his posture in mid-air to steady himself. Looking at Qiu Zheng holding the dark blue tortoise shell shield, he cursed, "It's that tortoise shell again!"
This shield, shaped like a tortoise shell, is Qiu Zheng's special ability: [Mystic Tortoise Shield]
A primary defensive ability.
It has a clear advantage over Zhang Bi, who is agile, aggressive, and has the ability to fly.
"Jia Xu!" Zhang Bi shouted.
Jia Xu maneuvered the bronze ring forward, helping him create an opportunity to attack.
Here, the two-on-one situation has reached a stalemate.
"This copper coin is quite interesting," Hua Changle said casually. "It has balanced attributes and a wide range of development paths."
Master Bao said, "Miss Hua is right, but my little nephew still has a lot of room for improvement."
“Indeed,” Hua Changle said frankly, without any politeness.
"The operation is very rough. The copper coins move in large arcs, and the back-and-forth pulling of the line is too long, wasting energy and superpowers, and also revealing a weakness to the enemy. If the operation is refined, the combat power will be greatly improved."
Master Bao gave her an admiring look: "Miss Hua has a good eye."
Water element region.
Han Shuang, Zhang Wanwan, and Wei Nuan fought together.
None of the three formed an alliance with the others; they fought independently and attacked each other.
The three girls fought fiercely.
Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Bi have the same superpower, but instead of taking to the air to hide, she constantly dives, dodges, and attacks, employing an aggressive fighting style.
