Chapter 543: Imagined Cleverness and True Cleverness

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the human virtual cosmic, the cosmic citizens watching competition world N0.3 were all dumbfounded.

Wang Ye won? How did he do it?

What happened to the second round having no suspense?

It was indeed one-sided, but Wang Ye was on the winning side and Qiguan Xian’ai had no room to retaliate!

A crushing defeat…

“It’s too fast. Can you believe that this is the fifth duel to end?”

“Qiguan Xian’ai has been crushed. I thought she had gotten lucky, but it turned out to be a great misfortune in disguise. It’s too tragic.”

“The difference in strength between the two isn’t as big as it seems. It’s just that Wang Ye is too scheming. He stripped Qiguan Xian’ai naked and took advantage of her weakness, defeating her with consecutive attacks.”

“Damn it! Wang Ye, this scumbag! Return my little fairy, my dream lover!”

In the preparation space, Wang Ye’s appearance attracted the attention of the other four who were already there.

“You guys are really fast.” Wang Ye’s gaze swept across Xian Yuyan, Qing Xuan, Piao Baibai, and Chi Xuan.

Before he finished speaking, another light appeared.

Dongheng Wanyi raised his chin confidently. The moment he saw Wang Ye, he was stunned. He looked around. “You’re so fast?”

“Yeah, I’ve been out for a while. I almost fell asleep from waiting.” Wang Ye shrugged.

Qing Xuan: “…”

Piao Baibai: “…”

Dongheng Wanyi’s mouth twitched. He nodded awkwardly but politely. “Awesome.”

As the two of them spoke, a few more rays of light appeared.

Jie, Qing Yu, and Wen Rou successfully passed.

Wang Ye smiled and waved at Wen Rou.

The further the tournament went on, the more it was a manifestation of absolute strength.

In the relatively fair competition world, the chances of a strong contestant being overturned were very small.

For example, himself.

His gaze fell on the competition world N0.32.

The battle between Dong Baiying and South Duke Qj Yang was in full swing.

One was an elite rookie from the Dongheng Eternal Nation, while the other was an experienced senior from the Nansheng Eternal Nation.

In terms of strength, Dong Baiying was slightly superior.

In terms of experience, Nanjue Qiyang was extremely skilled.

Wang Ye was happy that the two were fighting for a long time. This way, he would have more time to watch his opponents in the third round.

In the next round, 16 would be eliminated from the 32, so the winner between them would most likely become his opponent.

Information was dead and people were alive. Some participants would hide some trump cards, and some participants would suddenly take out powerful treasures during the final battle. These were all impossible to guard against.

“Dong Baiying is much harder to deal with than Qiguan Xian’ai.” Wang Ye watched the battle.

The other party’s melee attacks were first-tier. Although he wasn’t skilled in the path of spacetime, he had the ultimate talent of Spacetime Shredder, so he wasn’t afraid of any spacetime restrictions.

He couldn’t find any weaknesses.

The other party was also very calm in battle. Even when facing the experienced Nanjue Qiyang, he did not panic.

His Icewhirl Spear Technique was combined with his ability spells and the path of ice. He was one of the most powerful experts at the edge of the first tier and truly had the combat prowess to rank in the top 20 on the Cosmic Stairway Stairway Board.

After the first round ended just now, he had been ranked second only to Qing Xuan, Ji Mengni, and Adan in the top four that were determined through votes.

His ranking was even slightly higher than Dongse Ziyu’s, which showed how high everyone’s evaluation of him was.

“Ying’s improvement is great.” Dongse Ziyu walked to Wang Ye’s side and said softly, “He’s the youngest among us who were personally selected by the Ruler to enter the Super Genius Center. He also has the highest potential. After two rounds of tempering in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, he’s improved too much. Even I’m not confident that I can defeat him now.”

Wang Ye nodded.

The other party was a tough one.

“He doesn’t have any weaknesses. If I have to say one, it’s probably just that his reaction is a little slow and he can’t respond adequately enough to sudden situations,” Dongse Ziyu said. “Oh right, you must be careful of his ability spells. He’s very outstanding in them. Don’t be fooled by his appearance and spearsmanship!”

Before she could finish her sentence, the situation in competition world N0.32 had changed.

Unknowingly, the world had turned into a world of ice and snow. Pieces of ice fell rapidly, containing powerful origin energy.

Nanjue Qiyang was caught off guard. He retreated with a tense expression.

Dong Baiying completed his plan as he continued to attack.

He had fused the release system’s Realm Item Spell and Manifestation Spell, as well as the elemental system’s Realm Transformation Spell and the Primordial Intent Spell, turning the entire battlefield into his world.

“Very powerful.” Wang Ye had a very high opinion of Dong Baiying.

This was a rather difficult enemy. It would not be easy to defeat him.

However, he probably didn’t expect that his senior sister would reveal his secrets.

Once a woman fell in love, she would not hesitate to sell her comrades.

The second Expert Challenge Round ended.

Compared to the first round, it took much longer.

In many evenly matched matches, it took a long time to determine the winner.

The 32 winners received the first wave of rewards.

Even if they failed the third round, they would still be able to obtain a valuable Undying-level natural treasure.

Treasures of this level were rarely seen in the low-dimensional cosmic.

If one advanced in the third round, one would obtain an Undying-level treasure of life!

Compared to natural treasures, its value was even higher.

Whoosh!

On the screen, the list of 32 people was divided into the Upper and Lower Zones according to their rankings.

The new Upper Zone contained contestants ranked 1 to 16.

Other than the 15th-ranked Gu Yezi being replaced by Qifeng Zhenqing, there were no other changes.

The new Lower Zone with contestants ranked 17 to 32 was also filled with talents.

Qing Xuan, Ji Mengni, Adan, and Dong Baiying, who had advanced, were eyeing the top 16 spots covetously.

Dongse Ziyu, Taishu Xiaoyao, Nong Bi, Mu Anyun, and Feng Ying each had the strength of the first tier.

Especially Dongse Ziyu, whose combat prowess was not inferior to the four who were newly advanced.

The third Expert Challenge Round would be even more intense!

Selection!

This time, the selection lasted for a long time.

For the 16 challengers in the new Lower Zone, the choice was very difficult to make in this round. This was especially so for the top contestants in the new Lower Zone. They were so conflicted that their hair was about to fall out.

They had no choice but to fight the first-tier experts.

“This time, there shouldn’t be many who will take the risk to choose me.” Wang Ye looked at the screen and waited for the light bulbs to light up.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be locked onto by N0.32 Dong Baiying.

It would be a waste of effort for the other competitors to try and choose him. After all, choosing him would likely end up with them wasting their chance and being forced to choose the first-tier experts.

After all, the 16 people in the new Upper Zone were very strong.

Ding!

The selection was complete.

The small light bulbs lit up.

Shocked cries rang out in the surroundings.

Wang Ye wasn’t surprised to see only three light bulbs appear below him.

However, to his surprise, a small light bulb actually appeared below Xian Yuyan.

That was not all. A small light bulb also appeared below the 6th-ranked Piao Baibai.

Good God, they were all ruthless characters!

Wang Ye looked at the number 29 on the small light bulb below Xian Yuyan and gasped.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on those two.

Qing Xuan!

Xian Yuyan!

The two favorites to win the championship would face each other in the top 32!

The 29th-ranked Qing Xuan had chosen Xian Yuyan.

This handsome and resolute youth carried an innate supreme treasure battle axe on his back, and his fighting spirit was overflowing.

“Come and fight!” Qing Xuan issued a letter of challenge.

Xian Yuyan was calm and collected. However, the chiming of the white jade sword at her waist clearly showed that her heart was also filled with fighting spirit.

A great fight was about to happen.

“He’s man enough.” Wang Ye admired Qing Xuan.

If it wasn’t for him being moved to the Upper Zone and losing the right to challenge, he would probably have fought with Xian Yuyan in the second round.

This battle would be very exciting.

“This one is quite manly.” Wang Ye looked at the small light bulb with the number 31 below Piao Baibai.

Adan, who had ranked third in the first selection world. He had ascended to the ninth heaven and was a manly guy from the Asheli Eternal Nation.

As a newly advanced expert, his ranking of 31 allowed him to pick any opponent he wanted, other than Wang Ye.

Yet, he picked Piao Baibai, who had taken first place and shocked everyone in the first round with the Cosmic Stairway Board.

Since he was not convinced, he would just fight the other party, huh?

“No.32, Dong Baiying.” Wang Ye looked at the little light bulbs below him and was stunned.

It wasn’t there? Why wasn’t there a number 32? That guy actually “let him off”?

“25, 27, 28.” Wang Ye once again confirmed the numbers on the light bulbs below him.

The first selection in the third Expert Challenge Round was completed.

His opponent actually jumped from rank 32 to rank 28. It was unexpected.

“It’s him.” Wang Ye’s gaze fell on his opponent and he immediately understood.

N0.28, Nong Bi!

Standing beside Dong Baiying, he smiled at Wang Ye and walked over with Dong Baiying.

“You didn’t expect it to be me, did you?” Nong Bi looked as if he had everything under control.

“Indeed.” Wang Ye nodded.

“It’s because I understand the others.” Nong Bi smiled. “The 29th-ranked Qing Xuan and the 3ist-ranked Adan are both battle maniacs. They won’t be interested in picking you. The 3Oth-ranked Ji Mengni was once your companion, so she won’t pick you either. So, as long as Ying gives up, then I’ll definitely get to pick you.”

Wang Ye understood. “You’re too weak, so you begged Dong Baiying to let you have me.”

“No! That’s not the reason!” Nong Bi was furious.

“Then what’s the reason?” Wang Ye asked.

“I-” Nong Bi looked at Dongse Ziyu who was next to Wang Ye. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He gritted his teeth and simply said, “You don’t need to know! See you in the competition!”

Nong Bi turned around and left, clenching his fists tightly. He wanted to prove to Ziyu that her choice was wrong. He, Nong Bi, was stronger than Wang Ye in both intelligence and strength. He was the strongest man!

“Actually, even if Nong Bi didn’t ask me, I wouldn’t have chosen you.” Dong Baiying, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.

“Why?” Wang Ye was very curious.

Dong Baiying stared at Wang Ye. “I asked Wanyi. You were the fifth one to come out in the second round. Your strength doesn’t match the information. I don’t want to fight a battle I’m not confident in.”

Without waiting for Wang Ye’s reply, he turned around and left.

Wang Ye was slightly stunned.

He looked at Dongse Ziyu beside him and laughed.

One cannot judge a book by its cover.

The feeling that Nong Bi and Dong Baiying gave him…

The former had imagined cleverness and the latter had true cleverness.

The pairing ended.

The sixteen groups attracted the attention of the audience. Almost every match was a duel between the strong.

To be able to fight till this round, every single one of them was a top-notch expert.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sixteen spatial passageways appeared.

The 32 experts were filled with fighting spirit.

Wang Ye walked towards competition world N0.3 and exchanged glances with Nong Bi, who was not far away. He smiled faintly.

In terms of emotion and reason, the other party’s decision was not wrong. It’s just… he chose the wrong opponent.
