Chapter 308: The Second Stage of the Competition!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The whole provincial competition was very peaceful and dull.
After defeating the young man with the stubble, Dazed Crow was even less interested in the remaining ten opponents. At the moment the battle started, it would enter “Flaming Feather Form” and use a normal slash to KO the extraordinary on the opposite side.
It absolutely stunned a certain master-level who wanted to circle around for a while before admitting defeat in a dignified manner.
It was too difficult to be No. 107’s opponent!
After the provincial competition ended, there was only one day of rest. The ten people who qualified were led to Dragon City by a quasi-Heavenly King expert from the provincial guild.
To participate in the second stage of the competition.
In late February.
Tiannan Province’s team arrived at a certain base in the suburbs of Dragon City.
“There’s a World Entrance here?” Su Hao turned his head and saw obvious crystallization on the trunk of some trees.
It was a scene that only appeared at the intersection point under the influence of different laws.
Zhuang Yan, the quasi-Heavenly King leading the team, turned around and said, “This is the early entrance. In the past, there were some small troubles on the opposite side of the entrance, so it wasn’t announced to the public. Now… the opposite side of the entrance is more like a training field.”
“It’s not a secret. If you want to know, you can find out for yourselves. With your level of authority, most of you can find out.”
“Can I find out with only level-seven authorization?”
The one who spoke was the young man with the stubble. He made the cut with a result of nine wins and one loss. No one dared to underestimate him.
It was just that… Su Hao was too strong.
There was a high chance that he could end up representing Dragon Nation and head to Europe to compete for the inheritance slot.
He just wasn’t sure how far he could go.
“Level seven…” Zhuang Yan paused for a moment.” You haven’t done many missions over the years, and you haven’t worked in the public service department, right? ”
Commander Zhuang’s eyes were filled with embarrassment.
Fortunately, he was an ordinary master-level expert. But Commander Zhuang was still shocked to find out that he was only level-seven.
In fact, he had only advanced to level seven two months ago… The young man with the stubble smiled embarrassedly.
“Um.. I’ve been cultivating sprites all these years. Apart from the missions that I have to complete every year, I’ve rarely traveled anywhere… But after the Supernova Cup ends, I’ll definitely enter a certain department.”
“Besides, aren’t we still young? We lack contributions, so our level of authorization is definitely going to be relatively low…”
“Definitely?”
Commander Zhuang shook his head slightly. “Su Hao is younger than you, right? He’s not even 20 years old, but he’s already at level-nine authorization. His contributions to our Dragon Nation and the entire Union are even higher than mine.”
“You don’t believe me? President Xia told me. Besides, just the few papers published by Su Hao are worth level-nine contribution points.”
The stubbly young man: “!!!”
Has Su Hao been doing missions to accumulate Contribution Points since he was a baby?
Su Hao was only 20 years old. How did he accumulate contribution points that other Masters couldn’t even accumulate in decades… No, moreover, he had only become a Master for a year or two, right?
At this moment…
“I was wondering why the name Su Hao sounded a little familiar…”
The Sprite Trainer who spoke, Mr. Chen, looked into the distance at Su Hao, who was staring at a breeding area and observing. A look of realization appeared on his face. “This name was once sensational last year. It was the person who discovered the solidification of mental strength! He’s a very famous Sprite Cultivator! Is he the same Su Hao?!”
Masters like them naturally knew about the solidification of spiritual force.
They just didn’t pay attention to the author of the thesis. They didn’t expect it to be standing right in front of the author.
Hiss!
The stubbly young man and the others had their hair standing up.
Why don’t you, a genius Sprite Cultivator, just focus on being a researcher!
This question…
Was it my fault for being so outstanding? ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
With his back facing the crowd, who was secretly enjoying himself, Su Hao shrugged.
…
Almost all the best Sprite Trainers under the age of 30 in the whole of Dragon Nation, from various provinces, municipalities, special departments… had now arrived in Dragon City.
At the moment, there were nearly 300 Sprite Trainers at the contestant village. It was a tense atmosphere.
Of course, the ones who were nervous were only the contestants who weren’t confident.
Su Hao still ate and drank.
As usual, the trainers started to train their sprites.
There was no nervousness or relaxation.
“According to Senior Wu and the others’ estimates, I should have a 90% chance of qualifying right now, but among those under the age of 30 in Dragon Nation, it’s hard to say where I’ll rank.”
“As for the evaluation method of the second stage of the competition, it hasn’t been announced yet. If we’re going to be matched randomly, I’ll have to be on guard in case I encounter the most troublesome opponent.”
Ding-dong…
While Su Hao was thinking, the doorbell rang.
The door of the villa was pushed open. It was a slightly familiar face.
It was the young man with the stubble.
On the day of the battle, this man knelt quickly, but he also got up quickly. He was a person with strong resistance.
One was from Tiannan Province. After a while, Su Hao got a little familiar with him.
He seemed to be called… Qi?
Su Hao was still trying to recall his name when the young man with the stubble spoke.
“Commander Zhuang is calling for us. He seems to be talking about information related to the second stage of the competition.”
…
In a clean bar, a table was filled with alcohol.
Commander Zhuang leaned against the back of his seat. When he saw that everyone was here, he said,
“Listen up, I have news about the second stage of the competition model that you’re all so concerned about. This year’s assessment should be a team battle, an irregular team battle.”
“Wasn’t the previous team battle 3vs3?” someone asked.
There was a huge difference between team battles and irregular team battles.
Team battle referred to commanding battles on the field according to the rules.
Irregular team battles were more like a normal hostile encounter in the wild… Speaking of which, it was similar to the actual combat of the new College Entrance Examination.
“The competition model for each batch is different,” Commander Zhuang said. “Besides, for you guys, there shouldn’t be any difference between battles and irregular battles. Although you are all young, I don’t think any of you actually lack actual combat experience. In the end, it’s still going to be the strength of your sprites that matters.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “Apart from the irregular team battle, the rest are pretty much the same. You only need to fight two to three rounds. At that time, an examiner will select the strongest 18 people according to your performance score and pick the people to head to Europe to compete for the inheritance spot.”
“Those who don’t qualify can also receive Silver and Bronze awards according to their performance… These are all substantial rewards. In addition, the results of the Supernova Cup can also be helpful for you to work in the various departments.”
Commander Zhuang also promised some benefits, in case anyone wanted to work at the Tiannan Province Association.
The gathering today was actually for him to rope in talents.
This also made Su Hao wonder which department he would work for after graduation.
In the nation, there were various Association of Sprite Trainers, Association of Sprite Cultivators, as well as some other relatively small organizations.
There were also various universities and war zones.
The entire alliance consisted of the crime department, the exploration department, the battle department, the research department… These were the four main departments.
The exploration department could help Su Hao with collecting Intelligence Points.
The battle department could allow Su Hao to be affiliated to the Whale Island University’s war zone.
Research department… Su Hao himself was already a Sprite Cultivator.
He hadn’t thought of where to go yet.
“After all, I’m still far from graduation.”
…
The next day, the host announced the rules and introduced the examiners.
“Heavenly King Chen from the battle department, titled Duan Ya.”
“Heavenly King Gao from the exploration department, titled Lie Kong.”
“Heavenly King Chang from the arrest department, titled Chi Mei.”
“Heavenly King Gong from the main guild, titled Shan Hu.”
Su Hao only knew one of the four big bosses.
Heavenly King Gong Ling, who took them to collect their treasures back then, as for the other three Heavenly Kings…
Before Su Hao had time to observe, the four Heavenly Kings turned and left. They also quickly arrived on the opposite side, outside the city, in the vast wilderness.
There was no registration information and no speeches from the leaders. The whole process was especially simple. In just a few minutes, the judge-in-charge announced the start of the second stage of the assessment.
“Where’s the arena?”
“Even if there are no rules, there should at least be a battle area, right?”
Someone was puzzled. Suddenly…
Rumble!
The ground trembled. In front of them, the ground suddenly cracked, as if a pair of big hands pried open the ground. The cracks spread from the center of the crack to both sides and disappeared at the end of their vision.
At this point, many Sprite Trainers rode their flying sprites and flew into the sky.
Upon seeing this, Su Hao looked at Dumb Unicorn and said, “Let’s go up.”
“Neighhh!”
Clouds and mist gathered into clouds near Dumb Unicorn and supported its feet.
Instantly, Su Hao’s vision kept expanding. He had already flown up on a cloud.
Real Cloud Leap!
Compared to the horse form of clouds and mist, it was much more impressive.
Big Fat Bear, which couldn’t fly, was also on the white clouds… Why did its legs seem to be shaking?
After reaching a height of several hundred meters, Su Hao finally saw it clearly.
On the ground, cracks spread continuously and finally closed, forming a huge circle, covering a large area of mountains and forests.
A deep voice spread.
“Inside the circle is the battle area. Leaving or falling outside of the circle is the same as losing.”
The person who spoke was Heavenly King Duan Ya.
He had created the barrier in an instant!
At the same time, a huge stone pillar rose where Heavenly King Duan Ya was, lifting him up into the sky.
The other three Heavenly Kings also used their own methods.
Heavenly King Gong Ling sat on a water ball. Heavenly King Lie Kong’s robe puffed up as he flew up into the sky without anything.
Heavenly King Chi Mei was a cold-faced middle-aged man. He sat on a black coffin, dark light lingering around his body.
The four Heavenly Kings stood high in the sky, looking down at the arena.
The host picked up the microphone and announced, “Now, as for the participants…”
