Chapter 1321 Virtual Battle
“Everyone is ready for the competition. In the Dragnet Academy, there are a total of 300 candidates, among whom a few fight for the Dark Dragon List. Most of them will fight for the Earth Dragon List. When they see you, they will jump up in fear,” Headmaster Shan said and laughed.
“Perhaps.”
After chatting for a while, Headmaster Shan said goodbye and left.
As the days passed, the competition was getting closer.
These contestants who had reached the next round arrived at the competition site-Omandowy Star, successively from various Star Areas.
It was a desolate planet, which was almost covered by the desert. There was only an oasis on the planet.
On this oasis, the venue had been temporarily built, covering a large area, but the buildings were all monotonous and simple.
Many aircraft were parked around, and almost all the people who had arrived were resting in their own aircraft.
The most eye-catching thing was the signal tower.
As high as over 33,000 meters, the huge signal tower was connected to the signal network of Heavenly Dragon Star Province, so that the Dragon Ranking Competition could be broadcast all the time. Even in the virtual world, there would be all-round scenes.
There were fixed broadcast spots on some large sites of each planet. The tickets were also a means of sale for the Dragon Ranking Competition to take back the consumed crystal stones.
Many people did not want to miss the grand meeting which was held every thirty years, and almost all the tickets for every site had been sold out.
“The Dragon Ranking Competition is coming...”
A man suddenly opened his eyes in the cabin of an aircraft that had just arrived at the Omandowy Star. His eyes flashed brightly, and the energy wings on his back slowly dissipated.
Shi Fenghou, Little Roc, who had been secluded for a long time, came.
“Dragon List!”
In the main base of the Omandowy Star, a man in a green robe with a sword in his hand had a calm look in his eyes, as if he had an ace up his sleeve.
“It’s finally about to begin. I, Devil Incarnate, will be famous all over the world!” Ye Longyuan widened his eyes, and his internal Qi was unstoppable in the king vessel.
Yan Chen: “I just like you being ignorant and arrogant.”
Su Beimu: “I agree.”
Swoosh!
At the front of the lounge, Chu Qingyi, who was sitting cross-legged in the hanging flower basket, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her aura spread wildly in all directions.
Ye Longyuan and the other two were so overwhelmed that they could hardly breathe.
“At the Void-refining Realm Early-Stage.”
“Zhang Hanyang...”
She remembered that she had been turned away from the Dragnet Star.
Chu Qingyi’s pretty face clouded.
She seemed to have made up her mind to teach someone a lesson.
At this time, Zhang Han and his fellows were on their way to the Omandowy Star.
Headmaster Shan said, “By the way, there’s one thing I haven’t told you yet. Three days ago, the alliance of sects in the Star Dragon Area arrived. When the Dragon Ranking Competition is over, they will come to the academy for communication, which will center on the Pellet-refining Branch. They once came to communicate with us a hundred years ago. At that time, the tutors of the entire Dragnet Academy were given a big lesson, but there was nothing they could do. Their strength was much lower. In these years, the tutors of the academy have learned a lot. Besides, with you here, it’s time to win a round.”
“It’s not enough to only rely on my father. Those who are not powerful will still be laughed at,” Mengmeng muttered.
“Aha, what you said makes sense,” said Headmaster Shan with a smile. “However, with your father here, our high-position tutors won’t lose. Thus, they won’t look down on us too much.”
It could also be seen that Headmaster Shan took it to heart. The students who had worked hard for hundreds of years were scolded contemptuously as trash, which made Headmaster Shan burst with anger.
Otherwise, he would not have remembered it clearly after a hundred years.
Zhang Han smiled without saying anything.
It was no big deal.
Moments later.
“Here we are. Omandowy Star.”
When the aircraft jumped out of Secondary Space, what came into their view was a planet that was not very big. It could be seen on the screen that the planet had no ecosphere, and it was not even suitable for human beings to live on. However, the temporary venue was grand.
There was no space station in the void of the universe. All the aircraft stopped in the void in standby mode, and were parked in the fixed area in several directions around the venue.
“Let’s go down as well,” Yue Wuwei said.
When they came to the ground by aircraft and approached the huge venue, they were checked for their identity and then assigned an area for people from the Sea Dragon Star Area.
In the center of the venue, there was a huge martial arts arena, where there were many rings of varying sizes still being decorated.
Buzz!
A few hours later, a long buzzing sound was heard.
It attracted everyone’s attention.
There were tens of thousands of aircraft in the field.
There were 300 contestants from each Star Area, amounting to thousands of people. There were more contestants from Heavenly Dragon Star Province, because, in addition to some people who were exempt from the first round of battle and sent from some prestigious sects and forces and some big families, each smaller area had hundreds of contestants.
Therefore, in the entire venue, the huge martial arts arena was densely surrounded by aircraft, like ants moving their houses.
When the buzzing sound was heard, all the people in their aircraft paid attention to the martial arts arena.
A row of figures appeared, about 60 or 70 people.
They were several sects that came from the Star Dragon Area, a subsidiary of the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.
“The Dragon Ranking Competition is about to begin.”
“I’m Yan Bo, the Chief Supervisor of the Zhenlong Faction. This is Hu Feng, the Chief Supervisor of the Seven Seas Sect. This is...”
“On behalf of the Star Dragon Area, we are in charge of this Dragon Ranking Competition in the year 9863 of the 3000th era of Heavenly Dragon Star Province.
“In Heavenly Dragon Star Province, there are fifteen Star Areas involved in the competition. There are 13500 people on the Heavenly Dragon List, 26,000 people on the Earth Dragon List, and 23,000 people on the Dark Dragon List.”
Hearing the numbers, many people in the aircraft exclaimed.
They did not expect that there would be so many contestants in Star Province.
How many contestants were there in fifteen Star Areas total? Four thousand and five hundred people!
However, the number of people participating in the competition was sixty-two thousand five hundred.
It was less than one-tenth.
It was easy to imagine how many contestants came from Star Province.
Star Province had terrifying talent deposits, which were beyond comparison to Star Areas.
“In the whole competition, there are three sections. First, in the battle of the virtual city, each contestant will be given a simulated cabin. In this battle, more than 90% of contestants will be eliminated. 500 people will still remain on each list. In the second section, they will battle in different areas. Finally, the remaining 100 people will take part in the challenge section. The first two sections will be carried out in the virtual city, and only the challenge section will be carried out in the venue.
“Next, we will distribute a disposable card of the simulated cabin to each of you. You can use your secret skills or supernatural power at will. After the simulated cabin is bound to you, the card will be scrapped when the section is over, so you don’t have to worry that your secret skills will be revealed.
“Each of you has a day to get used to the simulated cabin. The next day, at twelve noon on the Omandowy Star, we will start the seven-day battle of the virtual city. The specific rules will be told in the simulated cabin.”
Clatter.
There were no wasted words. The figure of Yan Bo, as the representative, disappeared after he finished speaking.
In each aircraft, there were a lot of discussions.
“The high-end simulated cabin in the Astral Domain.”
“We can kill at will in the battle of the virtual city. That’s great.”
“The elimination section is too cruel. There are 13,000 people on the Heavenly Dragon List, but only 500 of them can still remain. It’s so, so, so hard.”
“It’s indeed very hard. 90% of the contestants will be eliminated. Alas, it’s too hard. If we want to leave our name on the list, we have to pass this section at least. I’m not good at fighting in the melee, but I don’t know if I can team up with others.”
“We can definitely team up with others. In the virtual city, any loner will die miserably.”
“We don’t know the specific rules yet. Let’s wait and see.”
“...”
The competition was about to start, and too many people were talking about it.
Zhang Han and his fellows were also chatting.
Yue Wuwei said, “The simulated cabin can only simulate your cultivation realms, supernatural power, and secret skills. Among you, Zhang Han and Mengmeng will be at a disadvantage. If there are no changes in the rules of the virtual city battle, then you can get points by killing the Exotic Beasts. You can form a team, but in fact, it’s difficult.”
“The virtual world can be either large or small. I suspect that the city is as large as it used to be. In the city, Exotic Beasts are rampant in the communities, streets, office buildings, etc. There are no safe places at all. So you can’t gather together in a short time. There are only seven days for you. You’ll have no time.”
“If there are no changes in the rules, you can get different points by killing an Exotic Beast at different levels, and the points range from 0 to 10. But it’s different when you kill other contestants. In the virtual world, the dead can be resurrected, but he has to lose half of his points. The other half will belong to the winner. The competition is fierce. Even someone will stab his fellows from the same force in the back. Trust no one except for one of you.”
“In the virtual city, the simulated cabin can basically simulate your strength, except for such monsters as Zhang Han and Mengmeng. It’s not the right choice for you to launch a large-scale battle. Don’t be too confident. There are many people who are better than you. I just saw many talented people. If you want to go further, just keep a low profile. Assassination is a very effective way. For example, Leng Yue, I believe that with her strength, she doesn’t have to worry about ranking top 500.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Many people looked at Leng Yue.
This short-haired woman, who always had a very low sense of presence, a ghost on the battlefield, seemed to be a fish in water in the face of such a situation.
“Yes, it’s not difficult for Leng Yue to rank top 500,” Zhang Guangyou and others also sighed.
Yue Wuwei waved his hand and said, “You should also pay attention to other things. The Dragon Ranking Competition is also a good experience. Take it seriously. If you treat it as a trip for pleasure, you’d better not participate in the competition.”
“Got it.”
“You’re right. We’ll definitely take it seriously. If we die in a virtual city, it is almost the same as dying in the reality.”
“...”
The group of people spoke one after another.
That was indeed what Yue Wuwei meant. He told them not to simulate those sixth-tier defensive treasures but to fight with their own strength.
Just as they were ready to fight, Yan Bo’s image was projected again.
“There is a temporary change that needs to be released. Due to the great number of contestants this year, the simulated cabins are insufficient, so the contestants are divided into three groups. First, the contestants on the Dark Dragon List; second, the Heavenly Dragon List; and third, the Earth Dragon List containing the highest number of contestants. That is to say, the first round will take 21 days, and the entire competition will last nearly a month. I hope all the contestants will be prepared.”
The news did not attract anyone’s attention. It was enough that they could participate in the Dragon Ranking Competition, and a month actually passed quickly.
“What? The simulated cabins are insufficient? They just want to collect more crystal stones.”
Some high-position officials learned that if someone wanted to see the Dragon List Competition, he would have to pay crystal stones every day, just like watching a movie. If the battle was on for all contestants at the same time, it only lasted seven days. But if the contestants were divided into three groups, it would last 21 days. Threefold crystal stones, why not?
In the next few hours, in every area, there was staff giving out simulated cabins.
In the area for the people from the Sea Dragon Star Area, Mengmeng and her fellows lined up to get one and controlled the simulated cabin back to the aircraft.
