Chapter 1322 Melee
Zhang Han touched Mengmeng’s head and said with a smile, “Just go in to feel it and get used to the strength. It’s fine as long as you pay attention to what I’ve told you.”
“Okay, got it.” Mengmeng stuck out her tongue.
She opened the door of the simulated cabin door and entered it.
It was turned on and fixed on Mengmeng’s body. Many plates were pressed on Mengmeng’s legs, arms, and head.
There were two energy balls next to her hands, which were the gems for testing one’s cultivation level.
It was indeed a very high-tech thing, but there were also some errors. The more one’s combat capability exceeded the cultivation level, the greater the errors.
Yue Xiaonao, Nina, and Felina entered as well.
During their feeling, Headmaster Shan came over for a short chat, and Patriarch Luo also came to have a talk.
A few hours later, Mengmeng first got out of the simulated cabin.
“Ouch, it’s a little weird inside.”
Mengmeng muttered, “I feel different. I could have displayed such a big fireball, but it was two times smaller inside.”
Mengmeng gestured with her hands as she spoke.
She was completely at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage. The little princess was not used to the strength difference.
“It’s over. I’m near the bottom of the list.”
Mengmeng touched her forehead and said with a sigh, “I don’t think I can make it to the top 500.”
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, we know that you are excellent. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make it to the top 500,” Zi Yan said with a smile.
“That’s not necessarily true. I will fight with my wisdom,” Mengmeng said with a snort.
Her carefree mind made everyone burst into laughter.
After a while, Yue Xiaonao, Nina, and Felina all came out.
Yue Xiaonao was not used to it either. Nina and Felina felt nothing weird.
Their strength inside was almost the same as in real life.
“It will probably start in a few hours. You can adjust your mood,” Yue Wuwei said.
“Why? I’m already in a good mood,” said Yue Xiaonao. “Just wait and see us fight. There are specific rules mentioned in the simulated cabin, which are basically the same as what my dad said. In the rules, there are many kinds of Exotic Beasts and corresponding points. You can kill Exotic Beasts to get points, or you can kill other contestants to get half of their points.”
“This is a melee,” Yue Wuwei said, “and have you seen the scale of the city?”
“No, the virtual site is like a room. It’s very small,” Nina said, “where we can experience our strength and the mastery of ourselves in the virtual world, and so on.”
“In the virtual city, we might not be able to find each other, so we can only fight on our own. According to the rules, we can team up with others at will. Although there are many Exotic Beasts, they’re not inexhaustible,” Felina said, “so if we want to get more points, we have to target other contestants.”
“It’s normal. The melee is advocated.” Yue Wuwei nodded. “It mainly depends on your ability to adapt yourself to changing circumstances. In such an environment, the higher the probability of your survival, the greater your potential is. It’s survival of the fittest. Most of the people on the Dark Dragon List live a comfortable life. It is inevitable that they can not get used to it when they suddenly come to such a place, so the outstanding ones will be more eye-catching.”
“Who lives a comfortable life? We’ve fought many times as well,” Yue Xiaonao said with a snort.
“Yes, yes, yes. You are all experienced.”
Yue Wuwei could not help laughing.
In fact, they had fought, but not often.
The pressure from the Cultivation World was all borne by the adults. Now, the Dragon Ranking Competition could let them experience how to deal with chaotic situations alone.
In this regard, both Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei both approved of this matter.
It was 11:45 in the morning.
“Now, it’s the live broadcast of Heavenly Dragon Star Province!”
“I’m the commentator, Qiang Weifeng.”
“I’m the commentator, Jiao Yilan.”
“I’m the commentator, Yi Yao.”
“We three will provide commentary in the competition for the Dark Dragon List.”
“Speaking of the Dragon List, it dates back hundreds of years. It will be held roughly every 33 years, namely, three times every 100 years. Each competition is a grand meeting of Heavenly Dragon Star Province. Now, the Dragon Ranking Competition is about to begin, and the exciting moment is coming.”
“First of all, I’ll introduce the competition system. The competition for the Dark Dragon List will be held first, and the process is...”
“In order to avoid accidental casualties of geniuses, the first two sections will be carried out in the virtual city.”
“All contestants enter the simulated cabin, please. What is happening on the battlefield will be projected over the open space. Also, there will be top 500 rankings. If you want to see the detailed rankings, you can log in to the official website to check the real-time rankings.”
The Dragon Ranking Competition, the grand meeting which had attracted the attention of countless people in Heavenly Dragon Star Province, was about to begin.
It was broadcast live on only several specified planets in Heavenly Dragon Star Province, while it was rebroadcast in other Star Areas.
Even so, on the competition planet, there were cheerleaders from various Star Areas, amounting to a million people. They were densely packed on the floating platform at the back.
This made the entire planet dozens of times bigger, as large as a football field.
“The virtual city is round and has a diameter of 50 kilometers, including the north, south, east, and west zones.”
“There are Exotic Beasts in the streets and alleys. This will be a battlefield where talents gather.”
“The talented young girls and boys on the Dark Dragon List are ready. After three minutes, they will be transferred to the virtual city.”
“There’s one thing that needs to be explained. They will be transferred to random sites. If you’re unlucky, you may be directly transferred to the Exotic Beasts. If you’re lucky, you’ll be transferred to a very safe place. It depends on your luck at the beginning. Then, it depends on your strength.”
“...”
The three commentators spoke on the platform.
The virtual city was projected over the venue. The projection was not three-dimensional, but there were four screens in four directions. The camera would automatically capture the sites of the battle. According to the degree of awesomeness, some wonderful scenes would be chosen and enlarged.
“The transfer begins. The battle of the virtual city for the Dark Dragon List begins!”
Mengmeng and her fellows were ready in their respective simulation cabins.
Each of them was still in an empty room.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
But when the time came, the scene changed.
“On the rooftop?”
When Mengmeng saw her surroundings clearly, she knew that she was on the rooftop of a hundred-story building. The wind was whistling, and her clothes were rustling. She felt very real.
There was not much difference between what she saw and reality.
Virtual reality technology was quite advanced.
Swoosh!
Mengmeng immediately looked around.
She was very vigilant.
The rooftop was about 3,000 square meters. On the patio behind her, Mengmeng saw a Giant Eagle staring at her coldly.
Swoosh!
A long, sharp whip appeared in her right hand. It was made entirely of alloy, and sharp thorns were spread over the whip in four directions. It was a highly lethal weapon.
Swoosh!
The Giant Eagle was five meters tall and looked intimidating. It spread its wings and swooped down on Mengmeng as quickly as a beam of light.
“Whip!”
Mengmeng swung the long whip hard, used her whip skill, and tried to beat the eagle from its flank with the whip.
Seeing this, the Giant Eagle immediately gave up attacking. It flapped its wings and got out of Mengmeng’s attack range from the right.
At the same time, three sword-like moves were made with sharp claws.
“A Giant Eagle at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage.”
Mengmeng snorted and swung her whip to fight back.
Surprisingly, her whipping only blocked one of the opponent’s attacks.
The other two moves did not slow down and came to her at a steady and fast rate.
“No!”
Mengmeng’s face changed slightly. She swung the long whip to block the second attack while displaying her occult art of body movement to avoid the third attack.
Rumble!
A corner of the tall building was cut open by the Giant Eagle’s attack. A lot of pieces of metal and huge stones fell off.
“In terms of fighting capacity, I’m not in the Yuan Ying Realm yet. Maybe I’m only at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage.”
Mengmeng swung her long whip while thinking, “The Giant Eagle is also at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage. It can fly very fast on the rooftop. It’s not good for me. I have to stop fighting. Go!”
Mengmeng felt that she might not be able to defeat the Giant Eagle. She was at a disadvantage in the fight here.
“I’ll kill you!”
With great momentum, Mengmeng showed a fierce look and seemed to be rushing to the Giant Eagle, which even made the latter’s heart beat faster. It became even more cautious. Facing the power from the long whip, it flapped its wings and flew to the side.
Swoosh!
At this moment, Mengmeng turned into a stream of light and rushed into the elevator shaft very quickly. She floated down dozens of meters, then kicked open the elevator door and entered the corridor.
“She, she ran away?”
The Giant Eagle simply blinked its eyes and was a little confused.
“Humph!”
After glancing around and seeing no Exotic Beasts, Mengmeng snorted and muttered, “I’m only at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage here, and I’m not strong enough. Well, be careful and kill the opponents slowly. I have to set an ambush behind a good place. It will be fine if I can kill a few contestants.”
After that, Mengmeng put away the long whip. Then, a short sword appeared in her right hand.
“Go!”
Mengmeng controlled the sword to wander around the dark places. After confirming that there were no Exotic Beasts, she slowly moved forward and came to the innermost room.
This place seemed to be a hotel.
The innermost room was not small, with decayed facilities, covered with dust.
“There are Exotic Beasts everywhere outside.”
Mengmeng observed her surroundings, standing high and looking far away.
She saw that on the roof of the main residence not far away, someone was running fast, followed by a Green Wolf.
“Green Wolf, five points. It is at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage. Can’t the one who is running away defeat it?”
Mengmeng looked at them for a while and knew the reason.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Behind the Green Wolf, there were at least another thirty Green Wolves running.
“If I can kill these wolves, I’ll get more than 100 points,” Mengmeng thought while narrowing her eyes. However, she was not strong enough here, so she could only watch.
“He can’t run away.”
She could see that there was a Patterned Leopard a thousand meters away in front of the man.
A Patterned Leopard equivalent to 10 points, at the Yuan Ying Realm Early-Stage, was also very powerful.
But life was full of surprises.
“Ah!” the man who was running away cried out in fear and narrowly escaped the attack from Green Wolf.
Swoosh!
Just as he jumped onto the roof of a building opposite him, a white-robed figure suddenly flew out of a window of the building on which he had just landed. With several arcs of the sword, the person killed more than 30 Green Wolves in a few seconds.
More than 100 points were obtained by one person.
Taking a closer look, she found that it was a young lady with a ponytail, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
“Her sword is so fast.”
Mengmeng looked at her for a while.
“She’s pretty strong. There are many powerful people in the finals of the Dragon Ranking Competition. It seems that I should be more careful.
“I’ll first kill all the Exotic Beasts in this building. I’d better assassinate them. I can’t make too much of a stir.”
Mengmeng made a decision. She held the sword in her right hand and walked slowly to the stairs.
