Chapter 406:I Wish Him Good Luck

The injured Yao leaned against the wall in the cultivation room, gripping two swords, but he had no strength left.
Nante was lying on the ground, his eyes vacant, completely exhausted, with a feeling of being drained.
In a two-against-one battle, they were defeated miserably.
They were aware of the significant gap between them and Wang Ye, but they didn’t expect it to be this substantial.
Wang Ye didn’t even utilize his internal world or the indestructible artifact. He simply used his sword technique to thoroughly defeat them.
This was the current 44th-ranked Super Star level powerhouse in the Taishi Starfield!
He was incredibly powerful!
Wang Ye glanced at the two, speaking candidly, “Let me be direct.”
First, Nante, focusing on your self-created spear technique is commendable, but shouldn’t you also prepare for the competition?”
“In the next round, it’s bound to be a real battle. Your spear technique, which focuses on offense, is too one-dimensional in terms of combat style. Unless you can overpower the opponent and achieve an instant kill, wouldn’t it be better to incorporate some other offensive and defensive techniques?”
“Yao, you are better prepared than Nante, but your excessive focus on improving your combat prowess has prevented you from unleashing the power of the treasure from the Ancient Battlefield.”
“Moreover, you are only at the intermediate Dark Energy level. Isn’t it a bit too early to venture into the path of the material realm? If you want to advance further in the main competition, your physical achievements at the Dark Energy level are still crucial.”
The two accepted his advice humbly.
Wang Ye’s strength and level surpassed theirs by a considerable margin.
Especially with the current rankings, everything was self-explanatory.
Looking at the two, Wang Ye continued, “In three cosmic days, if you want to enhance your combat prowess, you need to purchase equipment. Later, each of you will choose a top-rank Dark Energy-level equipment.”
“Nante, you need to select a battle domain.”
“Yao, you need a combination-type treasure, primarily focused on physical bursts, with control or support.”
Nante and Yao were momentarily stunned.
Top-rank Dark Energy-level equipment?
Did they hear correctly?
“Top-rank Dark Energy-level equipment costs at least a million dark crystals to start with. Now, it’s already several times that!” Nante looked at Wang Ye.
“That was a matter of the previous stage,” Wang Ye responded. “With 99% of the contestants eliminated, there must be some top-rank Dark Energy-level equipment available. Even if we don’t get the rock-bottom price, the cost should be lower than usual.”
Nante said, “Even if it’s somewhat discounted, both spatial treasures and versatile burst treasures are still worth millions of dark crystals. Do you have that much money?”
“Yes.” Wang Ye affirmed decisively.
“Is it worth it?” Yao looked at Wang Ye.
“We’re all brothers, so, of course, it’s worth it.” Wang Ye pulled them up.
“But even if we make it to the main competition, we won’t be able to secure spots for Taishi Starfield,” Nante remarked, his expression changing.
Do you think those families sent a large number of experts to participate just to secure a spot in Taishi Starfield?” Wang Ye asked.
“Of course not. This is a grand stage to showcase your talents. As long as you demonstrate talent and potential, there will be endless possibilities.”
“There are 100,000 spots in the Dark Energy Hidden Dragon selection. The Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation and the Red River Cosmic Nation have only a few hundred spots.”
“Hundreds! There are over a hundred super families! Super families with an undying expert might have at most one genius clansman who can enter the main competition! Not to mention the tens of thousands of large clans.”
“If you can enter the main competition, even if you can’t secure a place in Taishi Starfield, countless families, forces, and even the imperial family will undoubtedly support you. You will have more choices in the future!”
“Although we were born on a four-star life planet, it doesn’t mean we lack talent. On the contrary, we have a stronger willpower and determination.”
“What we lack is just an opportunity!”
Everyone had their path to take.
Wang Ye understood that both Yao and Nante had strong personalities.
Moreover, after the conclusion of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament and the Blue Planet matters, he estimated that he wouldn’t stay here.
Just as he had conveyed to Yao and Nante, the Supernova Prodigy Tournament served as an outstanding stage for cosmic talents to showcase themselves.
The Taishi Starfield breakthrough competition was a display on the cosmic nations’ radar.
Obtaining a spot in Taishi Starfield, breaking through the encirclement, and competing with the entire cosmic human race for places in the Primordial Star and the Infinite World of Slaughter was a showcase visible to the entire cosmos!
At that time, even if he couldn’t enter a supreme faction, he would undoubtedly attract the attention of numerous cosmic forces.
Leaving Taishi Starfield was almost a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, before his departure, he ensured to pave the way for them.
On the 55th floor of Lexing Tower.
“Demanding 1 billion dark crystals?” Wang Ye furrowed his brow.
The Chimeng family was truly avaricious.
Previously, they had been coerced into redeeming the Grade II origin energy starship at a price one hundred times higher, which was already quite generous on Wang Ye’s part.
It should have been called for 100 million dark crystals!
“Yes, they are testing our bottom line,” Yi Chongqing remarked. “If that planet is a special space-time or other dual-element special planet, the price would indeed be high.”
“No,” Wang Ye asserted with confidence.
This was because his spatial talent was mediocre.
Overall, Yao was acceptable.
However, Nante’s spatial talent was quite commendable.
As for other dual-element combinations, it was implausible.
This was because special planets of the material and energy systems were typically self-evident and didn’t require exploration.
Only the spatial and temporal aspects remained less apparent.
“But there’s still significant value in special time-based planets,” Yi Chongqing explained. “I can only assume they are negotiating for a special space-based planet. I can’t instantly push up the price.”
“Understood.” Wang Ye agreed.
If you increased the price to 100 million in one go, people would think that the value must be more than 100 million.
If you offered 10 million first, then slowly pushed it up, and then reluctantly, you might not even need 100 million.
This principle applied to business dealings, as well as relationships.
“In addition, 1 received information that the Chimeng family is simultaneously negotiating and applying for an investigation.” Yi Chongqing disclosed.
“That’s normal,” Wang Ye commented. “They are exerting pressure on you.”
Yi Chongqing nodded. “The report indicates a mere 1% profit if we disclose it. If the Blue Planet is just an ordinary time-based special planet, and they don’t transfer management rights to us, it would result in significant losses.”
“I don’t believe the Chimeng family would make such a foolish move,” Wang Ye expressed.
“Agreed,” Yi Chongqing concurred. “As long as the funds are in place, the main issue shouldn’t be a problem. However, they might postpone the deal until the survey team is close to arriving.”
“Okay,” Wang Ye affirmed.
He had already made two preparations.
There was more than one solution to this problem.
No matter how special the Blue Planet was, it remained a four-star life planet, and its value was still within a measurable range.
Even if he couldn’t gain control of the Chimeng family, he had other means.
The Blue Planet, he was determined to obtain it!
Chimeng Planet.
Inside the grand hall, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
The family leader, Chimeng King Luojin, wore a solemn expression as he examined the data from the Supernova Prodigy Tournament.
A disastrous defeat!
“Out of 303 Super Star levels, 288 were eliminated in the first round!”
“Another 13 will be eliminated in the second round!”
“Useless bunch!”
Chimeng King Luo jin erupted in anger.
What did this signify?
All the Super Star levels of their Chimeng family in this generation were worthless!
Especially the 288 eliminated in the first round, probably none of them could break through to the Black Hole level!
The family members lowered their heads, afraid to make a sound.
Only two managed to advance to the third round.
“Mu Dayu ranked 1006452.” Chimeng King Luojin furrowed his brow.
Mu Dayu’s ranking was nearly at the bottom among the 1.18 million participants who advanced to the third round.
Advancing to the fourth round seemed practically hopeless.
“Meng La, ranked 98904.” This was the only thing that brought a sense of relief to Chimeng King Luojin.
Meng La, equipped with the family’s financial and military resources, presented a commendable performance in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition, securing a rank within the top 100,000.
Although the chance of securing a spot in the main competition remained slim, there was hope for making it into the fourth round.
However…
“Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, Wang Ye, ranked 44th.” Chimeng King Luojin looked at this name and felt a pang in his heart.
Such an outrageous ranking!
When compared to Meng La, Wang Ye was like a star among fireflies!
With Wang Ye’s current ranking, barring unforeseen circumstances, he was essentially guaranteed a spot in the main competition!
He might even secure a position within the top 100!
After the auditions, he would become the new superstar of the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation!
He would gain fame in a single battle!
“If only he were from our Chimeng family…” Chimeng King Luojin inexplicably had such a thought and shook his head with a somewhat laughable expression.
These matters were not connected.
Moreover, he was an enemy!
But now, which family wouldn’t want him?
He truly envied the Yunlai Imperial Family.
Yunlai Planet, in the grand hall.
Emperor Yunlai paced back and forth, wearing a troubled expression.
Through Ai Yi, he managed to contact Wang Ye, but it ended there.
Wang Ye showed no intention of coming to Yunlai Planet.
He even declined the offer of an appointment.
Even when Emperor Yunlai wanted to reward Wang Ye or provide him with equipment, all his attempts were gracefully rejected.
“Beloved Consort, what do you think Wang Ye’s intentions are?” Emperor Yunlai looked at his consort beside him. “Does he truly only wish to be carefree, or is he retreating to advance, seeking a higher position and greater rewards?”
“You should already have an answer within your heart,” the empress consort softly remarked.
Emperor Yunlai’s expression turned solemn.
He knew deep down, he just didn’t want to admit it.
Wang Ye wanted to depart.
Or perhaps, he never truly belonged to the Yunlai Imperial Family.
Three cosmic days swiftly passed.
Wang Ye received numerous congratulations, including messages from friends in the military camp.
Even General Ke contacted him.
His children, Ke Yuanzhen and Ke Yuanqi, successfully reached the third round of the Taishi Starfield breakout competition.
However, their rankings weren’t high. Even if they managed to advance to the fourth round, obtaining a ticket to the main competition would be challenging.
“Wish me luck.” Wu Mohan’s figure slowly dissipated in the projection of the Starry Sky Bracelet. The smile on his face was no longer as composed and confident as before.
The downfall of a genius often resulted from someone even stronger than them.
And the most devastating scenario for a genius was when numerous others surpassed them!
As formidable as Wu Mohan was, the second-ranking Super Star level in the Ancient Battlefield’s Milky Way exploration mission, he found himself blocked outside the top 10,000 for the main competition after the initial two rounds. His chances of advancement were worrisome.
In the Taishi Starfield with 105 cosmic nations, there were too many exceptional talents.
For example, Wang Ye himself.
Wished him luck.
“Go for it!” Yu Min’s sparkling eyes radiated enthusiasm, and a smile adorned her face.
“Brother-in-law, you must secure a spot in the main competition!” Lingling clenched her fists, cheering him on.
Wang Ye nodded.
Entering the human virtual cosmos.
Before the entrance to the Taishi Starfield, the gate with intricate patterns began its countdown.

Swish…
A dazzling radiance enveloped the surroundings.
The third round had begun!
