“Points bet.”
“Choose one of the two supreme factions you want to join and invest your points.”
“The top 60000 contestants will enter the selection world of the supreme faction and compete in different types of prodigies. They will obtain points in different ways.”
“Note: Contestants who have not entered any of the two selection worlds will be selected.”
“In the end, the top 100 contestants from the two selection worlds will become the top 100 Supernova Prodigies Tournament and compete for the final champion. They will also be free to join any of the two supreme factions.”
“Only the top 100 contestants in the world will be selected. If they do not enter the finals, they will be recruited by the supreme faction of the world.”
“The rest of the participants will be specially selected by the supreme faction based on their ranking and overall performance in the selection world.”
Light and shadow appeared before the eyes of every contestant.
The rules of the second round were straightforward.
It was faster than any other Genius Challenge!
This was because there were only three rounds of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament this time!
In the first round, after many tests, the 100,000 contestants with excellent comprehensive abilities among the 7.17 million contestants were left.
In the second round, these 100,000 participants would enter the sights of the two supreme factions.
Everyone had a chance!
They didn’t even need a third round!
As long as they performed excellently in the second round, they would be able to join the supreme faction!
“In other words, there are three ways to join the Infinite World of Slaughter and the Primordial Star.” Wang Ye carefully read the rules a few times and understood all the details.
“The first type is a genius like me who is ranked in the top 100 of the Cosmic Stairway Board. If I continue to maintain my ranking in the second round and get into the top 100,1 will be able to enter the finals and obtain the right to choose the two supreme factions. This type is a talent that both supreme factions want to compete for.”
“The second type is the super-geniuses who have outstanding performances in a single selection world. For example, in the first round of the Cosmic Stairway Tower and the challenge space, their outstanding performance in the Cosmic Stairway Tower will enter the top 100, but their performance in the challenge space will be mediocre. In the end, their total points will be outside the top 100. They will not be able to enter the finals, but they will still be accepted by the supreme faction of the selection world. This type is considered mutual selection.”
“The third type is to display Beyonder characteristics, special qualities, or move the supreme faction in a certain segment in a single selection world. Although you won’t be able to enter the top 100 with points, you will still be selected based on merit. This is a special type. This type is considered to be selected.”
There seemed to be many ways, but it was not the case.
This was because there was a limit to the number of people recruited in both the Infinite World of Slaughter and the Primordial Star.
Assuming it was the same as the previous Genius Challenger, it would be 100 people.
The two supreme factions added up to 200 people.
The first type occupied 50%.
The second type occupied 30% to 40%.
Only 10% to 20% was left for the third type, and there was no additional explanation.
Each entity attracted attention uniquely, solely observing the appeal of the supreme factions.
“There’s no need to consider the third option.” Wang Ye’s goal was very clear. It was the first type.
Free to choose.
He held the initiative in his own hands.
Although he liked the Primordial Star more, the Infinite World of Slaughter was not bad either.
There was not much difference between the two of them. They were on equal footing.
However, Primordial Star didn’t openly accept many people, so it was eye-catching.
However, the seven supreme factions themselves did not have a high or low ranking.
The Primordial Star was not necessarily stronger than the Infinite World of Slaughter.
In terms of fame, the Infinite World of Slaughter, which had been fighting all year round, was even better!
“The lower limit is the second, and the upper limit is the first.” Wang Ye looked at his 6 million points. He was very rich.
The first 60000 points of each selection world will be used to bet on the contestants.
Therefore, 20000 participants could participate in both worlds.
It was equivalent to giving the most outstanding contestants in the first round an extra advantage.
However, if they bet evenly, they might not be able to get two at the same time.
After all, many participants who did not have enough points would choose to play the stud instead of being selected.
“Fortunately, I have enough points for the first round.” Wang Ye observed the Cosmic Stairway Board.
He didn’t need to consider much.
Although the Primordial Star was more popular, and there was a high chance that the Infinite World of Slaughter would be chosen, it was fine to distribute points evenly.
If someone like him, ranked 100th, could only participate in one of the selection worlds, that would be ridiculous.
This rule was more targeted at participants with ‘medium-grade’ strength.
It would depend on which supreme faction they preferred.
It was a simple screening.
In the human virtual cosmic.
“That’s too fast. The second round is over, and the final round is already beginning?”
“Wrong. It should be said that the outcome emerged after the second round of selection. This is the final round. The finals are just to get a championship and a ranking. For the vast majority of the participants, the second round is to choose a world, display their strength, and then decide their fate.”
“That’s right. If you can enter the top 100, you’ll enter the supreme faction. If not, it’ll depend on fate. The total points and the finals don’t mean much. As long as you can enter a supreme faction, even if you’re ranked 100th like Wang Ye, it’s fine!”
“It’s starting. As expected, there are more selections for the Primordial Star! Everyone still has a special liking for this faction, claiming to have the most opportunities and being the oldest!”
In the virtual world hall.
“Let’s begin choosing.” Wang Ye looked at the Cosmic Stairway Board on the fluorescent screen, and his points quickly changed.
What surprised him was that quite several smart participants had left behind 2-3 million points.
What were they doing?
Waiting to be selected?
Saving points for later?
They had more than 5 million points, and they could enter two selection worlds if they distributed them evenly.
Did they want to save 2 million points and wait for the second round to end to enter the top 100?
They were too naive.
They hadn’t even read the rules properly.
The top 60000 was based on the assumption that there was no by-election.
If there was a by-election, some participants with fewer points would be removed.
There were also a few smart ones who bet 1 point.
They knew they couldn’t compete with others, so they preferred to wait for the by-election. The points left behind might be useful for other purposes.
However, it didn’t mean much.
To get into the top 100, one had to go to two selected worlds.
Only one person had obtained a direct access card.
Piao Baibai.
With 50 million points in the first round, she could ensure her entry into the finals.
However, maintaining the first place would depend on her performance in the second round.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The contestants made their choices one after another.
On the fluorescent screen, the names on the Cosmic Stairway Board dimmed one by one.
Soon, all the choices were made!
The finalists for the two selected worlds were announced!
“Hmm?” Wang Ye was surprised.
Piao Baibai was not on the list of nominees for the Infinite World of Slaughter!
Other than her, everyone else in the top 100 of the Cosmic Stairway Board was present.
All eyes were focused on Piao Baibai, who smiled confidently before waving her hand and leaving.
Immediately after, the contestants went offline one after another.
The selection competition for Primordial Star began earlier. One had to wait for the selection competition for the Infinite World of Slaughter to finish.
“Very confident,” Wang Ye remarked, not in a hurry to enter the selection world. Instead, he continued to peruse the shortlist.
He had paid attention to all the names in the first round and was very familiar with them.
It was almost as expected.
The average strength level of the participants who were shortlisted for the Infinite World of Slaughter was slightly weaker than those who were shortlisted for the Primordial Star selection worlds.
Of course, the top contestants of both sides were the same.
The only difference was that Piao Baibai was missing.
“I wonder what the first selection world is like?” Wang Ye mused curiously.
Seeing his competitors enter one after another, he also entered the passageway.
“Come on, let’s get started! The current me isn’t afraid of competition!”
In the Elio Empire, the nobles were all dumbfounded when they saw Piao Baibai ‘forfeit.’
“This b*tch is too smug! With her current points, she can only participate in one selection world and enter the finals!”
“Could it be that she’s holding back her strength and wants to continue being the champion in the second selection world? To get first place in the single selection world?”
“She’s been freeloadin’ for three years straight, and her legs have gone limp! So, she’s lookin’ to take a breather and recharge her batteries! Who the heck agreed to her outrageous request in the first place? Someone! Get her pulled outta the Myriad Races Brothel right now!”
“.. Lord, Piao Baibai has disappeared again!”
The first selection world.
Wang Ye shuttled through the long space-time tunnel.
[A member of the Infinite World of Slaughter. Known for battles.]
[I dare to barge into the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss alone. I dare not kill the 72 Heaven Halls!]
“Cultivators who join the Infinite World of Slaughter must not only have extraordinary talent and aptitude but also a fearless will and determination to advance bravely. They must dare to improve themselves in endless slaughter and battle!”
[But the most important thing is to survive first!]
[Because once it falls, no matter how outstanding its potential is, it will not be able to become supreme.]
[Fight when you fight, retreat when you retreat!]
[Decisive in battle!]
[When you retreat, protect yourself!]
Wang Ye was dumbfounded.
Was this Infinite World of Slaughter where killing intent was insane and battle maniacs were the most abundant?
How did it feel? A little cowardly?
Who wanted to retreat?
He wanted to fight to the end!
Wait a minute!
What was the specific mission?
How to obtain points?
Wang Ye’s head was still spinning, but suddenly, before he knew it, he had passed through the time passage.
White light flickered!
The surroundings swiftly changed.
It was like a dark expanse under the moonlight, filled with a silent, deathly atmosphere.
Quiet, mysterious, and devoid of light.
Deep cold flames engulfed the surroundings.
In the sky, moon-like dots of light coalesced, eerie and fantastical.
Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat as he opened the semi-transparent world panel.
Before he could examine it closely, a light dot fell from the distance like a shooting star.
Wang Ye exclaimed softly and looked towards it.
In an instant, his gaze locked with eyes as cold as the moonlit night.
Hiss! Wang Ye took a deep breath!
Hadn’t his Unchieftain Halo from the first round dissipated yet?
Sensing the overwhelming and terrifying killing intent emanating from the other side, it felt like Pandora’s box had been opened!
In Wang Ye’s mind, the tenet of the Infinite World of Slaughter instantly flashed…
Retreat when necessary!
Protect yourself!
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
Clang! Clang!
In the distance, a graceful figure moved like an arrow, drawing his sword!
Like the most fearsome assassin in the moonlit night, his blade gleamed with menace!
The battle began!
