“Second round: Top 100 Competition. You have become the new world lord, obtaining the right to choose the competition world. Please make your choice.”
In the preparation space, ten rays of light landed.
A notification appeared in front of Wang Ye.
He was not surprised. He had guessed it from the overall ranking.
However, the rules of the second round were very different from the first round.
This would be an even more intense round of slaughter.
The competition was still divided into ten worlds, with ten people in each world.
Only one person from each world would be able to enter the Top 10 Round-Robin Tournament.
“World lords don’t have much of an advantage.” Wang Ye looked at the competition world.
In the first round, they could choose special planets, but in the second round, they could only choose standard venues.
The smallest arena was a lvi duel world, a fully enclosed Death Cage.
The largest arena was the Standard World of Slaughter, which was still extremely small. It was also the world that he had randomly entered in the first round, but the area this time was only one-thousandth of its original size.
The only other choices were whether to activate the world fog and the full map. There was no cosmic disaster option, nor was there any neutral third-party factor.
The second round was purely a battle of slaughter!
It’s good though.” Wang Ye made his choice.
Ah Pu stared at Wang Ye and saw his choice on the big screen. He frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and made the same choice.
Never admitting defeat was his belief!
Taishi Star Network.
“Haha, 1 knew it. Wang Ye definitely chose random!”
“This fellow is really crazy. He did this in the first round, and he still did the same in the second round… Is he really not afraid of failing? There aren’t many options left in the second round. If he doesn’t grasp the advantage, the world lord will easily become the target.”
? What is Ah Pu doing? Is he crazy? Why is he imitating Wang Ye?”
“What do you know? This is a man’s desire to win! The first place has been snatched away, so Ah Pu is holding back his anger. They’re both rookies, so how can he be outdone by Wang Ye?”
Two contestants had chosen random worlds!
The tanned Ah Pu raised his chin and looked at Wang Ye, full of battle intent. Although he couldn’t fight against Wang Ye in the second round, he didn’t want to lose in any aspect!
Getting one of the three spots in the Taishi Starfield Breakout Competition wasn’t his goal. What he wanted was… The absolute number one!
The remaining 90 contestants were all discussing.
According to the first round’s rules, after the 10 world lords finished choosing the venue, it would be their turn to choose.
Previously, ten contestants from each world could advance, but this time, only one could advance. Their decisions were thus completely different.
“The competition venue is secondary. Our choice is the key,” Shouye Yinhu pondered.
He was fifth in the audition and had chosen the safe plan in the first round of the main competition. He had already predicted the current situation.
He had guessed the current situation of the first and second rounds being consecutive.
The world lords had no advantage. In contrast, contestants who could pick the world they wanted to go to could not only pick their opponents but also avoid the pressure of being a world lord and avoid becoming the target.
He had an accurate estimate of his strength. Although he wasn’t as strong as the top four, he had the confidence to take down two to three of the ten world lords!
“Ah Pu, Jiu Qu, Yun Bufan, Wu Yunduo, and Wang Ye. I can’t choose these five world lords.” Shouye Yinhu was clear-minded.
Wang Ye had originally been in his hunting range too, but, the other party’s shocking performance in the first round had earned him a total of 886 stars.
Choose Wang Ye?
Was he crazy?
Looking at the respectful gazes of the other participants in the tenth world, it was obvious that Wang Ye was not to be trifled with.
The other party was definitely on the same level as the top four in the audition!
“Lou Gongqiong from the eighth world and Mildina from the ninth world are the best choices.” Shouye Yinhu made a clear judgment.
Strength was one thing, but those two were rookies and lacked experience.
To stand out in the second round, one had to have meticulous calculations and planning.
“It’s useless to be in the limelight. The most important thing is to get a spot in the top ten.” A confident smile appeared on Shouye Yinhu’s face.
Everything was going according to his plan…
!!!
Suddenly, Yinhu’s expression changed.
After the 10 world lords chose their venues, they were split into 9 groups with different colored lights.
A series of notifications and messages appeared before them.
The rules of the second round, the Top 100 Competition, had completely changed!
The contestants were not the ones who could choose the worlds they wanted to go to. Instead, the world lords would choose participants in their respective worlds!
It was completely unexpected!
“Stay steady! It’s alright.” Shouye Yinhu comforted himself and calmed himself down. “I’m fifth in the audition. I’m strong enough to intimidate them. In the first round, I was also ranked in the 61-70 group. The world lords have to select participants according to their rankings of 1-10. They won’t dare to pick me. I’ll probably still go to the eighth or ninth world. It shouldn’t be a big problem. At most, I’ll go to the tenth world and meet Atiman. Although he has experience, I should still be stronger.”
“However, after this selection, the eighth to tenth worlds will gather the strongest contestants from each group and the competition will be extremely intense. I might even meet the sixth place in the audition, Qing Teng. I still miscalculated.” Shouye Yinhu felt a chill down his spine.
However, there was nothing he could do now. The initiative was no longer in his hands.
“Choose contestants one by one according to their ranking groups?” Wang Ye couldn’t help laughing.
As the world lord of the first world, he had a huge advantage.
There were ten participants in each ranking group, and he had the first pick. He could choose the weakest among them.
That being said, those people weren’t that weak either.
After all, they were ranked according to the number of stars they had in the first round.
Those who ranked at the top were definitely those who had strong overall combat prowess.
People like Mo Yu, who had followed him in, were basically in the tenth group.
Even so, the advantage was already huge.
He could prevent some natural enemies as well as those from the same cosmic nations from joining forces.
Participants from the ten groups would be selected one after another, so the accumulated advantage was considerable.
To the world lord, it was fair.
After all, no matter if it was the first or second round, the powerful world lords would easily be targeted in a group battle.
The stronger one was, the higher the possibility of being surrounded.
“How should 1 choose?” Wang Ye looked at the unfamiliar names and turned his head. He met All Pu’s burning eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit, waiting for him to finish his selection.
Then… He shouldn’t waste everyone’s time, right?
Wang Ye pressed the random button again.
Leave it to fate.
Which unlucky nine would be in his group?
They would have no chance of entering the Top 10 Round-Robin Tournament.
In the preparation space, one could hear a pin drop.
The 90 Super Star-level geniuses looked at the big screen in a daze as their names started rolling like slot machines.
Wang Ye had chosen for the selection to be random again!
It was too ridiculous!
How confident was he in his strength to choose such a method?
It was one thing to let the venue for the Top 100 Competition be random, but this was the selection of contestants in his world!
They were the opponents that he would be facing head-on later!
Did he mean that no matter who he chose, they would not be his match?
The contestants felt humiliated. They wanted to be chosen to prove their strength, but they also stared at the scrolling screen, praying that they would not be chosen.
This was especially so for the people from the tenth world who had been crushed in the first round. Many put their palms together.
If they had a choice, they would go to whichever but definitely not Wang Ye’s!
Pa!
The selection from the second group was determined.
Guan Hongzhou.
The face of a man holding a black halberd paled. He never thought that he would be the lucky one.
The probability was one in ten!
The other world lords looked at the screen.
Wang Ye wasn’t unlucky either. Guan Hongzhou’s strength was in the middle among the ten second-group participants.
Pa.
Bilacam.
When the participant from the third group was determined, Guan Hongzhou’s expression eased.
It was pretty random. Among the ten people in the third group, Bilacam was almost at the bottom.
But soon, Guan Hongzhou’s expression changed.
Pa!
[37] Qing Teng.
The live broadcast was aimed at the former world lord of the sixth world.
His expression did not change, but his tightly pursed lips and slightly furrowed brows showed that his heart was in turmoil.
Guan Hongzhou’s heart sank.
Qing Teng was a famous genius in Taishi Starfield!
It was over.
[44] Fenghua Naqian
[53] Diitus.
The further back they went, the less pressure the contestants who were selected in front had.
This was because those in the lower groups were usually weaker.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Shouye Yinhu, whose heart was inexplicably palpitating. He did not know if he was afraid of the fierce competition in the first world, the equally powerful Qing Teng, or… the unfathomable Wang Ye who had appeared out of nowhere in the first round.
“Please don’t be me! Don’t choose me!” Shouye Yinhu kept praying.
The names on the screen slowly stopped rolling, and a familiar name appeared on it. His pupils constricted, and his hands and feet went numb.
The more he wished against it, the more it would happen!
[69]Shouye Yinhu
Taishi Star Network.
There was an uproar.
The cosmic humans of the Red River Cosmic Nation couldn’t laugh anymore.
Their Big Brothey may be treating all this as a game, but his luck was too “great”.
Qing Teng and Shouye Yinhu were both seeded contestants in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition!
Guan Hongzhou’s strength was not bad either. In addition to the special-type ability user Fenghua Naqian, there was also Bilacam who had many treasures, Diitus who had extremely high attainments in dark power, and Bai Yushan who was ranked 16th in the tenth world’s preliminary selection…
This was the strengthened version of the group of death!
Those who didn’t know better would think that the first world had the last choice.
Look at World Lord Atiman of the tenth world! He was already smiling.
“Wang Ye has gone overboard this time. He’s really going to end up in a tragedy this time.”
Yes, with how cunning Qing Teng and Shouye Yinhu are, they will definitely join forces to deal with Wang Ye!”
“The others aren’t to be trifled with, alright? When competing for the top ten, everyone’s strength is close. Anything can happen, and the outcome is very likely to be shocking.”
“Let’s see what random venue Wang Ye will get. I’m kinda looking forward to it.”
In the preparation space, the ten people from the first world formed a group. Some were happy while others were worried.
Those who were not “favored” by luck all revealed happy expressions.
The nine people in the first world were very vigilant. Looking at their opponents for this round, they were speechless.
How were they going to fight?
What bad luck!
Yet, the one with the most unsightly expression was Ah Pu.
To imitate or not to imitate?
Previously, he had already imitated Wang Ye’s choice of choosing a random arena, and the pressure had increased sharply.
If even the opponents were random, added to the fact that the world lord would be targeted, his chances of being eliminated would increase greatly!
Looking at Wang Ye’s “carefully selected” opponents, Alt Pu gulped. He avoided the gazes of the other world lords and started choosing his opponents.
He didn’t want to follow in Wang Ye’s footsteps.
Men couldn’t be brave with no brains!
The world lords chose their opponents one after another.
Soon, the second round of grouping was completed.
The surroundings of the preparation space lit up, and the door to the passageway opened.
“Let’s do it!” Wang Ye entered.
He would obtain a spot in the Top Ten Round-Robin Tournament!
