405 The Preliminaries End
“Heavens! Even that expert can’t last more than a few seconds. Run!”
When the surrounding players saw this, they didn’t dare to stay any longer. One by one, they used all their strength to escape, wishing they had a pair of wings.
At this moment.
Yunji, who had turned into an invisible wind, laughed in her heart.
‘Hmph, Hmph. In my current form, I can’t even hit Ling Yi, let alone others.’
‘It’s a pity that my level is low and I didn’t get his help. Otherwise, it would be easy to kill these people.’
Even so, with the enhancement of the mutant Skills Ling Yi gave her, her combat power was definitely not something that other level 50 players could touch.
…
When it was 2:30 in the afternoon, three and a half hours after the opening of all the pre-competition venues, the First Division to determine the top 10,000 was finally out.
The participating citizens immediately opened the regional rankings to check.
[Level 1 ~ 9]
1. Earth | 202.7
2. Montenegro | 182.6
3. Demon Jade | 181.1
4. Brilliant Lion | 180.9
5. Heaven Trip | 180.7
…
[End of rankings.]
The number behind was the overall score of each realm, based on the average survival time of the top 10,000 players who had survived the longest in each realm and the additional points obtained from killing the Beast King.
Of course, there was no Beast Kings between levels 1 to 9, so the points on the list were purely based on the average survival time.
Seeing this list, people from all over the world started discussing it.
“The other realms’ scores were quite ordinary. Why is the Earth realm’s score far higher than the second place?”
“Everyone’s strength was about the same before they reached level 10. How did they stand out?!”
“Let’s wait and see. This isn’t the total score yet. We’ll wait and see when we get the total score.”
“Oh no! Earth is already 20 points ahead from the second place. It won’t be easy for categories to catch up!”
The focus of many realm’s discussions was the first place, “Earth Realm”.
This was because it represented a very obvious fact – the Earth rookies were stronger than them!
However, everyone knew that many functions were not available before level 10, and they would not receive much help from other players. Their strength should be about the same… That was why the other 99 worlds were so confused.
On the other hand…
The people of Earth were not surprised.
“With the Eternal Star Stele’s blessing, our newbies have 20 more star slots. How can others compete against us?”
“Is there no Eternal Star Stele in the outside world?”
“I’m not sure,”
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, more and more level categories ended their matches one after another, leaving only the level 90 category.
It was almost 5:30 am, and many people had already started a fire to cook. Those who were faster had already started eating dinner.
The Live stream of the level 90 category’s preliminary was quite a feast for them.
On their screen, everyone could clearly see Boss 01 sitting on a red rock with his hand on his chin.
Behind him was the Radiant Domain that he had just created.
Many Earth experts were inside.
If one looked further, one could see that thousands of meters away, countless monsters were rushing toward them.
However, no matter how fast they were, they were all killed when they were about 3,000 meters away from the big boss. It was as if the circle with a radius of 3,000 meters was a line of death, protecting the sole player in the center!
“After more than five hours, these monsters have been strengthened to a terrifying degree.”
In the living room, Lin Shurou, who had returned, turned to Shengya and asked, “Did an invincible Beast King appear?”
“Yes, but Ling Yi killed it in seconds.”
“I was killed by an invincible Beast King,” Shengya added with a smile.
“Me too.” Lin Shurou also nodded and smiled.
It seems that the invincible Beast King level is a dividing line.
Nangong Li, who was at the side, sighed slightly. “There should only be a few of us in the area for the level 80 category. If we encounter a level 89 unrivaled Beast King, we would definitely be wiped out.”
“But you’re the one who lasted the longest. Ten minutes before the unparalleled Beast King appeared, you were the only one left. In the end, you managed to hold on for another half an hour.”
As she said this, a look of admiration appeared on Shengya’s dignified face. “Sister Li, you’re really amazing.”
Her gentle words were particularly comforting and made Nangong Li feel good.
The blonde woman looked at Shengya. She had heard that this former Goddess’ assistant had a warm personality and was easy to get along with. After getting to know her these past few days, she found that the rumors was quite true.
“Thank you,” She said with a faint smile on her face.
...
Half a minute later, everyone’s eyes widened as five giant creatures appeared on the screen.
“Five invincible Beast Kings appeared?!” Lin Shurou was shocked.
“No, it’s not just that. These five invincible level beasts should all be stronger than the one that was killed a few moments ago.” Nangong Li said with a frown.
At this moment, in the arena.
Ling Yi glanced at the five level 99 invisible Beast Kings and shook his head.
‘It’s useless to have a few hundred more attribute points. If you want to deal with me, you should at least send a legendary Beast King or the Demonic God.’
He was still sitting in his original position and killed the five Beast Kings with only [Slowing Down Divine Power] and [Aeolus’ Call].
[You have killed the Beast King, Hell Violent Ape King. Points +0.1]
[You’ve killed…]
Very quickly, the minutes flew by.
This time, there were ten invincible Beast Kings, and each of them was much stronger than the previous batch in all aspects.
...
Ling Yi got up and started to fight, but he still didn’t use any other skills.
…
In the end, when it was six in the evening, a full six hours after the preliminaries had started, Ling Yi and the remaining Earth players received a notification.
[Congratulations on surviving until the end of the competition!]
Soon after, the last few participants were finally sent out.
“Eh?”
On the rooftop, Ling Yi, who had just returned to his place, exclaimed in surprise. “So the maximum is six hours. I thought the monster would continue to be strengthened endlessly…”
“It’s a pity,”
He was looking forward to the next strong enemy that would put him in a tough battle. This way, he could clearly judge what he was lacking.
As for those who survived until the end and didn’t get any extra points, none complained, since it was useless to do so.
When he reached the living room, he sat down on the main seat of the burgundy sofa in the middle as usual.
The warm yellow light in the living room reflected off the wooden table in front of him. Ling Yi turned over and laid on Lin Shurou’s snow-white thighs, letting her and Xia Wanqing massage him.
“How’s the situation?”
He had yet to open the preliminaries’ total score ranking and so he decided to ask.
“Our Earth was missing the level 100 match, but we’re still in first place!” Yunji, who had been paying attention to the ranking list, immediately replied.
Her tone was a little strange.
At that moment, Nangong Li, who was on his left, heaved a sigh of relief, “Phew… The second place is only 0.9 points away from us… It’s a good thing you killed quite a few Beast Kings in the end, or we wouldn’t have been number one!”
Ling Yi was filled with curiosity and suspicion. He quickly opened the ranking list that had just appeared.
The overall ranking of this year’s great cosmos preliminaries.
1. Earth | 2526.6
2. Demon Jade | 2525.7
3. Montenegro | 2522.8
4. Brilliant Lion | 2518.9
5. Yun Nation | 2515
6. Heaven Trip | 2511.7
…
98. Jade | 2305.8
99. Heavenly Horse | 2299.7
100. White Sheep | 2288.6
