With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal

Chapter 1170: Chapter 702: Changes Within, First Round Elimination, and the Ultimate Showdown! (Part 2)

Out of a total of five thousand contestants, only 0.5% are at the fourth tier, making clashes between top experts very unlikely.

Only when the number of contestants decreases in the later stages of the competition will the probability of expert clashes increase.

Meng Chuan is already impatient; his research into the path of life evolution is nearing a critical point.

He urgently needs a fourth-tier Western expert to cooperate with him for an experiment...

Finally, Meng Chuan looked for his own name.

With the completion of his experiments, the frequency of his research has recently decreased.

The competition pace has accelerated, and yesterday alone featured forty matches, so his ranking should have improved significantly.

After all, besides the fourth-tier contestants, everyone else generally has mixed win-loss records.

Among the third tiers, he is the only one steadily increasing his victory points.

Despite having fewer matches due to this exchange, his ranking should not be low.

[Accumulated Victory Points: 79]

[Overall Ranking: 611]

Compared to the end of the first day’s matches, his ranking has improved by over a thousand places, which is quite good.

This ranking is not likely to be "cut" by the system, which finally puts Meng Chuan’s slightly worried mind at ease.

He got carried away with research in the first two days of the competition, which indeed slowed his progress.

Not knowing how many contestants the system would eliminate in the first round made him speed up yesterday, partly due to this concern.

Four o’clock in the morning, exactly.

Meng Chuan joined the match promptly while opening Great Chu’s official live broadcast as background music.

He lowered his head and used the only spare time to return messages to friends and family.

"Go for it, Meng. Smash that bastard King Arthur! I’ll get everyone in Lishan Mountain to like your live stream!"

Meng Chuan replied to Xu Qingfeng:

"Get outta here; they all activated memberships for me already. You don’t need to boost likes for me."

Meng Chuan scrolled down his friend list; many friends sent their good wishes.

Even Meng Jiaolong sent two words — "Go for it."

"Fight well, don’t just focus on fooling Westerners to show off our national dignity!"

Wang Yang left him a message, feeling the pressure himself...

Meng Chuan uniformly replied with thanks and chatted a bit with Yang Yuelian.

Finally, he casually glanced at his opponent, a Roman third-tier, and then watched the official broadcast for a while.

Because today, a new competition guest had joined the commentary desk.

Aside from the first day of the competition, subsequent matches saw the organizing committee inviting experts from the top five or six positions to serve as special guests, taking turns acting as hosts.

The guest today was someone Meng Chuan was quite familiar with, catching his attention.

It was none other than the [Eight Extremes Spear God Li Wenshu], also known as Elder Li, from the Beijing Competition.

His words transformed Meng Chuan’s Martial Arts Will into a true Martial Will, leaving a strong impression on him.

"Celestial King Li, it’s your first time at our World Youth Championship finals. Which contestant’s match do you look forward to watching the most today?"

The in-house commentator Wang Yang asked while smiling.

Having teamed up before in the Beijing Competition, Wang Yang was more familiar with Li Wenshu than other commentators and hosts.

Li Wenshu stroked his beard and smiled slightly:

"I am very much looking forward to the performance of our Great Chu contestants, but if I had to choose, it would be Wang Chongyi and Meng Chuan."

One he wants to personally mentor and guide as a close disciple.

To the other, he wishes to transmit the "Way of Transforming Rainbows," naturally anticipating both their performances the most.

"Wow! It seems Celestial King Li thinks highly of these two. Neither of these contestants has lost a match since the start of the competition, and I believe their performance today will not disappoint Celestial King Li,"

Wang Yang smiled and said.

Fans of both loudly supported them in the live chat, taking over the entire screen in no time.

Watching from the side, Meng Chuan was slightly surprised to hear his name mentioned.

He didn’t expect Elder Li to still remember him...

Returning to his senses, Meng Chuan didn’t dwell too much on it.

For the Spiritual Profound Light, which would guide him to the competition, had already descended.

"I’ll play more matches today, and unless I face a powerful Westerner, I won’t experiment anymore..."

With so many people supporting him and continuously sending him gifts worth millions,

he felt it wouldn’t be fair to everyone to remain stagnant outside the top hundred...

...

That night, the competition paused.

Meng Chuan was about to step into the flag for Qi Blood training when the system notified him:

[The results of the first-round elimination and progression are out. Please click to view. If you haven’t advanced, please exit in an orderly manner as guided. The journey beyond the arena is equally exciting, and your efforts will be remembered. We look forward to meeting again in the future!]

Meng Chuan was surprised.

The elimination was rather sudden, without prior notice...

Meanwhile, in most of the preparation rooms in the Phoenix Nest, contestants were checking this message.

Those with higher rankings remained calm, either closing their eyes to rest or continuing to train.

While mid-ranked contestants carefully checked their rankings, secretly relieved.

Yet, those at the bottom, whose scores remained stagnant,

turned pale upon seeing the notice of "two thousand eliminations."

"It’s over..."

"Such reluctance, just missed it by a little..."

The eliminated, many felt remorseful.

Leaving hurriedly, they couldn’t face folks back home...

Some were quite carefree:

"Folks, don’t look so down; let’s go home!"

"I’m still young, going back to keep training. Next World Youth Championship, I will surely make a mark!"

Silently packing their things, some quickly walked out while others warmly embraced companions from the same country!

Soon, the preparation room corridor echoed with departing footsteps.

The remaining three thousand know that the real competition is just about to begin.

Because the system sent another notification:

[Seven competition days from now, upon conclusion of the rest day, another two thousand contestants will be eliminated in the second round.
