[Third round of auditions.]
[Survival challenge.]
[Silently saying ‘Taishi’ allows you to view the map information.]
[Remaining contestants: 100,000, entering the fourth round.]
The prompt flashed briefly.
Wang Ye stood within the light circle, and a 100-second countdown began above.
In his line of sight, he found himself standing in the starry sky surrounded by planets.
Vaguely, he could see other light circles, evidently other contestants like himself.
“Is this a survival challenge similar to a survival challenges?” Wang Ye silently uttered ‘Taishi.’
A virtual interface appeared, reminiscent of being back in a military camp and activating a soldier’s badge.
The vast map was filled with light dots.
These dots represented the positions of the participants.
“The radar.” Wang Ye was very familiar.
He had dealt with this tool many times in the military camp.
He minimized the radar, instantly expanding the map’s range.
The already densely packed light dots formed distinct rings.
The positions of the rings were somewhat peculiar, scattered across approximately 40% of the map with varying densities.
The other 60% featured lonely light dots, resembling small boats in an ocean.
“Isn’t this the starfield map of Taishi Starfield?” Wang Ye recognized it at once.
After all, he had passed the Supreme Human Academy and studied it thoroughly.
His current location was in the Lemei Galaxy.
On the left was the Milky Way, on the right lay the territory of the Red River Cosmic Nation, and the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s territory was below.
On the left side of the Milky Way were the End Mountain Cosmic Nation and the Darning Cosmic Nation. At the top, an expansive galaxy with the most light dots represented the Silverjade Cosmic Nation.
Surveying the Taishi Starfield, the three brightest rings belonged to the Tianshi Cosmic Nation, Taiwu Cosmic Nation, and Jiumang Star Cosmic Nation, the current leading cosmic nations.
“So, what is the purpose of this?” Wang Ye looked toward the virtual panel below.
1180242(44).
The numbers in front indicated the current number of survivors in the third round, and behind them was his ranking.
“Ranking?” Wang Ye was somewhat puzzled.
The third round was a survival challenge, requiring only the reduction of the rank 1180242 to 100,000 to conclude.
Ranking seemed somewhat inconsequential, unrelated to the third round.
Was it just for the show?
11
It’s not like I need to show off to myself.” Wang Ye pondered.
“Hmm…”
In comparison to Wang Ye, a newcomer participating for the first time, the man who had previously joined the genius selection battle in the Infinite World of Slaughter undoubtedly possessed more experience.
“To lay the groundwork for the fourth round,” Xi Yan, the current number one from the Red River Cosmic Nation, was handsome and resolute. He exuded a dignified aura and hailed from an outstanding family, the dream of millions of girls in the Red River Cosmic Nation.
His combat prowess was top-notch, acknowledged as the leader among the younger generation of the Red River Cosmic Nation.
Standing at the pinnacle, Xi Yan felt some pressure.
After the conclusion of the two audition rounds, he currently held the 151st position, outside the top hundred.
With the Red River Cosmic Nation’s strength, this was already a decent ranking, but…
Their rivals, the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, had two participants within the top hundred!
Even the third-ranked Fu Yumo was at the 147th position!
Not to mention Wang Ye, holding the 44th position, already within the top fifty!
It was astonishing.
“The cumulative scores from the first two rounds should be the initial score for the second half.” Xi Yan’s eyes flickered with intelligence. Having participated in the previous era’s genius selection battle, he quickly grasped the rules.
“The appearance of rankings indicates the possibility of an increase or decrease.”
“Survival challenges undoubtedly provide a method to increase the initial scores, likely through plundering and killing.”
11
If that’s the case, by the end of the third round, I might have a chance to enter the top 100!”
The Taishi Star Network was bustling.
This was because the second half of the auditions not only provided real-time rankings but also allowed viewers to experience the competition through the contestants’ perspectives, enhancing the immersive experience.
The views were highest for the top three contestants, especially those within the top 100.
Even the “underdogs” who didn’t make it to the top 10,000 could be observed by searching through their competition numbers.
“Jiu Qu’s combat prowess is too exaggerated, his sword can cover a vast area, and demon elites can’t stop him.”
“All Pu is truly formidable. He even directly killed a Black Hole level devil commander-in-chief. This is what a real peak physical body looks like!”
“Are they kidding? The top three in the Taishi Starfield are treating the auditions like a game. Their goal isn’t just to advance but to rank up, bringing glory to their respective cosmic nations and securing the first place in the auditions!”
“Wait, is Yun Bufan going crazy? Why is he attacking other contestants?”
“Wu Yunduo is the same. She’s a transcendent realm expert, and she’s treating demons and contestants alike, wiping them all out! Wow, Wu Yunduo is ranked fifth! What’s going on? Isn’t this a survival challenge? Why did the ranking change?”
“With the Infinite World of Slaughter’s characteristics, survival challenges are just a basic requirement for advancement; demonstrating one’s strength is the true essence! Whether it’s killing demons or devils, they should be able to earn points, but the one with the most points… probably directly eliminates other contestants!”
“Hahaha, it’s too real! But that’s what makes virtual worlds exciting!”
Wang Ye was quite leisurely.
He noticed that the third round of auditions was unexpectedly a battle against the demon and devil races.
In the military camp, hadn’t he killed plenty?
The overwhelming force of demon and devil elites attacked, creating a grand scene similar to the constant battles within the Taishi Starfield.
However, he had single-handedly dealt with an entire eight-star life planet of demons!
These little Super Star level’s great demon devil generals were not worthy of the term “survival challenge” for him.
Even the Black Hole level demon kings and devil commander-in-chief could only barely create a stir.
“A battle of attrition? Or will there be stronger Black Hole level demon kings and devil commanders-in-chief later?” Wang Ye contemplated as he nonchalantly killed an advanced Super Star level devil general.
Among the remaining 1.18 million contestants, most were at the level of Ke Yuanqi in the military camp.
Participants like Lan Jian and Xiao Yu had already been eliminated in the second round.
There were even tens of thousands of contestants stronger than Wu Mohan.
With just these Demon and Devil troops, could they eliminate a million contestants who were as powerful as the captain of the Silver Warband?
Without intermediate or even supreme Black Hole level demon kings or devil commander-in-chief, it would undoubtedly turn into a prolonged battle.
?
Wang Ye observed the virtual interface and realized something was amiss.
The light circles in the Taishi Starfield were shrinking, and most unbelievably…
His ranking was dropping?
Without checking, it fell from 44th to 56th.
In the blink of an eye, it became 57th.
What was happening?
Suddenly…
A massive dark force emerged behind him, accompanied by rapid changes in time. The entire starry world flipped, and countless stars fell like shooting stars.
“Die.” It was a silver spear. A man covered in black battle armor, with mystical engravings surrounding him. The spear’s intent transformed into an endless starry sky, merging with Illusion Spell, directly stabbing towards Wang Ye’s back.
Another foolish contestant!
This was a competition organized by the Infinite World of Slaughter.
Did he not even have the basic sense of self-preservation?
Too young, he deserved to be eliminated!
Puchi!
Blood splattered, much like in reality.
The man in black armor with a silver spear couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at his chest, which was instantly torn apart.
The recent events seemed to play in reverse.
Chi!
Wang Ye bit down, and the brilliance of the Time Oblivion Tooth Blade illuminated. The dual mystical engravings flickered.
A counterattack!
“Taishi.” Wang Ye silently activated the virtual interface.
Watching his ranking revert from 57th to 56th, he instantly grasped the situation.
“So that’s how it is.”
“You should have said that earlier.”
Participating in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament was his way of challenging the talents of the Taishi Starfield and determining who was superior!
Fighting demons and devils?
Might as well take missions in the military camp.
He could earn more battle credits and potential points!
“Isn’t this interesting?” Wang Ye’s spirits lifted.
Taishi Star Network.
“Come and watch Wang Ye from the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation. The treasure boy is ruthless, it would be a shame to miss it!”
“Exactly, this guy is unbelievably fierce!”
“The ranking is skyrocketing. From a low 57th place, not only did he return to the original 44th place, but he also broke through the top 40th in an instant!”
“Super cool! No less than those people in the top three!”
Viewers watching Wang Ye’s perspective kept increasing.
His rank was rising rapidly, and his actions were swift. Wherever the dense light circles appeared, the word ‘bravery’ stood out!
He was no avoidance, no concern for offending others.
Some higher-ranked participants consciously held back their strength, but not Wang Ye.
The more he killed, the more invigorated he became!
It felt like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
It was as if he aimed to beat every contestant from the Red River Cosmic Nation!
The audience from the Red River Cosmic Nation was outraged, their blood pressure rising!
Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, this was too much!
“Rank 36th.” Wang Ye glanced at it.
The ranking wouldn’t be easy to increase.
The ones ahead were killing ruthlessly.
Their cosmic nation had more competitors, leading to faster point accumulation.
Especially the top three beasts were eagerly vying for higher ranks.
“Forget it. I don’t have to vie for the top ten anyway.” Wang Ye’s mindset relaxed.
As long as he stayed within the top 100, the rewards remained the same.
In the chaotic realm of the Red River Cosmic Nation, there wasn’t much danger.
Happily entering the fourth round, Wang Ye estimated that his rank wasn’t far off.
After all, he had more endurance compared to other cosmic prodigies.
“Let me think…”
“Where is the position of Chimeng Planet?”
“Oh, got it.”
Wang Ye promptly set off.
He wondered if there were any remaining members of the Chimeng family. If there were…
He wanted to kill them.
Chimeng Planet.
The family leader, Chimeng King Luojin, was currently observing the progress of the competition.
There was only one survivor!
Meng La!
Current rank: 184,588.
Although Meng La’s rank had dropped significantly compared to the second round, the young one was clever, and composed, completely unlike his father.
He knew his strength well and didn’t seek to impress by chasing ranks.
Instead, he gathered, forming a small group with over ten participants, making it risky for others to provoke them.
They didn’t provoke others.
Just as the hint in the third round suggested…
Survival challenge!
Survival was the key.
“Exactly, just like that. Keep it up!” Chimeng King Luojin was highly satisfied.
With the current reduction in the number of participants by two-thirds, if they continued this way, Meng La could smoothly advance to the fourth round, achieving the set goal!
With the intelligence and stability of the young one, there might be a slight chance to secure a spot in the main competition after entering the fourth round!
Satisfied, Chimeng King Luojin exited Meng La’s perspective.
His gaze swept across the top 100 experts, filled with envy and mixed emotions.
“This kid’s rank has risen again!” Although Chimeng King Luojin detested Wang Ye to the point of grinding his teeth, he involuntarily opened Wang Ye’s perspective to assess the ‘enemy’ situation.
Oh?
He wasn’t killing enemies.
He was on the move.
Still on the move.
What?
Where did he want to go?
Chimeng King Luojin was somewhat perplexed. Looking at the direction Wang Ye was heading, his pupils suddenly dilated.. His body shook, veins popped on his face, and he shouted hysterically, “Don’t come over!”
