Chapter 541: It’s All For Me

There were 28 people in the Upper Zone while the Middle and Lower Zones each had 36 people.
The first Expert Challenge Round only had 36 matches.
The winner would advance and challenge those in the Upper Zone while the loser would be eliminated.
It was just that direct.
Wang Ye looked at the list of 36 contestants in the Lower Zone. They were not that weak.
In particular, the name “Qing Xuan” was also on the list. It was enough to make all the participants in the Middle Zone break out in cold sweat.
Qing Xuan, who was eliminated in the first selection world, had 4200 points in the second round and was ranked 83rd. It was only 200 points higher than Qiguan Xian’ai, who was ranked 100th.
Not only Qing Xuan, but even Dongse Ziyu, Hui Zhi, Dong Baiying, and the other experts who had mediocre performances in the second round were also in the Lower Zone.
These were all existences that were enough to make all the competitors in the Middle Zone tremble.
Still, in general, the average strength of the participants in the Lower Zone was inferior to that of the Middle Zone.
For example, Qiu Xiaojing, who was ranked 99th, wasn’t in the top 100 of the Cosmic Stairway Board. She wasn’t in the top 100 of the first selection world either. She relied on her deal with Wang Ye in the end to accurately calculate her ranking to advance to the finals.
Of course, the strongest ones were the Upper Zone.
Xian Yuyan, Jiu Gedi, Dongheng Wanyi, Piao Baibai, Wen Rou, and Chi Xuan were all experts who had used their absolute combat prowess to obtain recognition.
Well, except for Wang Ye.
He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in his ranking of third place. Everyone wanted to replace him.
According to the rules of the competition, one could obtain a ranking if they were defeated.
For example, if Qing Xuan, who was ranked 83rd, won the challenge against Wang Ye, he would be ranked third in the Upper Zone.
“I feel like I’ll receive a lot of challenges in the second Expert Challenge Round…” Wang Ye muttered in his heart.
He turned to look at Dongse Ziyu, who smiled as if to say, “I won’t pick you.”
On the screen, the challengers in the Lower Zone had already begun to choose. “Who do you want to pick?” Wang Ye asked East Thor Purple Jade.
“Someone from the Weixin Eternal Nation.” Dongse Ziyu did not hesitate.
The competition between the Dongheng Eternal Nation and the Weixin Eternal Nation was quite intense.
“Pick someone with relatively medium-grade strength,” Wang Ye said.
“Why?” Dongse Ziyu was puzzled.
Wang Ye said, “Because you’re ranked in the middle of the Lower Zone. If you choose the weaker ones in the Middle Zone, according to the priority rule, you might not get a chance. At that time, you might have to go through a second selection. There won’t be much room for selection because the remaining ones will be the stronger ones in the Middle Zone.”
“Who do you think I should choose?” Dongse Ziyu asked thoughtfully.
Wang Ye looked at the Middle Zone ranking board and said, “43rd-ranked Urther or 45th-ranked Yinyin Shijie. These two are better choices. Their ranking in the Middle Zone is similar to yours in the Lower Zone. They arc both melee fighters. Melee fighters compete in strength, so the possibility of a surprise is smaller. Moreover, their combat prowess is not weak. Not many ranked lower in the Lower Zone than you will not dare to challenge them. With your strength, you don’t need to be too radical. Choosing a moderate one is the safest.”
The 13 imperial families had collected the information of the participants in the finals, which Wang Ye had studied in detail when he was preparing for the finals.
“Alright.” Dongse Ziyu thought for a while and made her decision.
She trusted Wang Ye’s judgment.
Very soon, the countdown ended and the selection was complete.
Wang Ye looked at the fluorescent screen.
Small light bulbs lit up below the 36 participants in the Middle Zone, and numbers appeared in the light bulbs.
There were a total of 36 light bulbs, and they were evenly distributed.
More than two-thirds of the light bulbs were concentrated in the last two rows, especially the last row. The number of participants ranked 56 to 64 had the most light bulbs.
Dongse Ziyu had chosen the 43rd-ranked Urther. She was the only one and thus got her choice.
Yinyin Shijie, who was ranked 45th, only had a small light bulb below him too. It was Wuka from the Lower Zone who had chosen him, and the former’s initial ranking was above Dongse Ziyu.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The extra light bulbs were extinguished.
In the first Expert Challenger Round, 24 pairs were successfully matched.
Then, the second selection began.
The remaining twelve people in the Lower Zone had solemn expressions because the remaining twelve people in the Middle Zone were all publicly recognized experts!
Among them were Ji Mengni, Adan, Taishu Xiaoyao, and other rising rookies, as well as Mu Anyun, Feng Ying, and other long-established seniors.
None of them were to be trifled with.
No matter how they chose, it was difficult.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time…
After a total of seven selections, the pairing of duels in the first Expert Challenge Round was finally complete.
From this, one could see who was stronger and who was weaker among the participants in the Middle Zone.
Ji Mengni was left to the end.
She was a charming woman from the Eternal Dream Nation. She had a powerful soul and a strong ability spell attainment, as well as top-notch spatial abilities. No one wanted to face her in the first round.
Of course, Qing Xuan was an exception.
This guy didn’t pick his opponent, he only chose the ranking.
In the first round, he chose the highest ranked 29th place in the Middle Zone, Mu Tonglin. The latter’s face turned purple.
Just like that, he met the Killing God of the Lower Zone.
Whoosh!
36 spatial passageways opened. They led to 36 exclusive competition worlds.
Each spatial passageway had a red and a blue door that marked the contestants’ initial rankings.
A countdown appeared above, and the 72 contestants entered one after another.
The 28 Upper Zone contestants gathered in front of the fluorescent screen to watch the first Expert Challenge Round.
The winner would be their opponent in the next round!
Wang Ye moved to match duel world number 36.
He looked at the big screen, which was clear and defined as if he was there himself.
This match was between Qiguan Xiam’ai, who was initially ranked 100, and Beige, who was ranked 64 in the Middle Zone.
Five contestants chose Beige, but actually, he was not weak. In the Middle Zone, his strength was considered to be in the middle range.
“It’s all for me…” Wang Ye was well aware.
He had become a fragrant bun.
These smart people hadn’t even passed the first round and were already thinking about how to trample on him in the second round.
After the first round, there would be 64 contestants left.
According to the rules that whoever had the lower ranking had the priority to challenge the strong, the advantage of getting the number plate “64” was the greatest.
From the looks of it, it would either be Qiguan Xian’ai or Beige.
“Qiguan Xian’ai.” Wang Ye remembered three things about her.
She was beautiful, tall, and perky… Ahem.
One, she was Xi Yan’s dream lover, with extremely good looks and an excellent figure.
Two, in the first round of the Asura Arena, she had ruthlessly defeated him, which he still remembered.
Three, she was one of the only two contestants in the second selection world who had obtained an innate supreme treasure.
Her strength was not weak to begin with.
Even though ranking on top in the Cosmic Stairway Broad during the first round had something to do with strategy, her true combat prowess was indeed within the top 100.
The fact that she could advance to the finals in the second round was a testament to her strength.
After obtaining an innate supreme treasure, she was like a tiger with wings.
The duels began at the same time.
In the 36 competition worlds, fiery duels between top-notch talents in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament commenced.
“A stage 3 advanced-rank optimum-grade internal world, plus the defense of a top-grade supreme treasure. It’s flawless.” Wang Ye watched Qiguan Xian’ai’s competition.
This was not the first time he had watched her compete.
However, his mentality was completely different.
She had become stronger.
Still, he was stronger.
“A top-rank sword heart, unity-phase sword intent, and a self-created sword technique that’s super powerful.” Wang Ye commented.
Her close combat ability was outstanding. Especially with the combination of space perception and ability spells, her sword technique was brought to full play-
However, her opponent, Beige, who was ranked 64th in the Middle Zone, was also very strong.
His tyrannical bloodline was able to resist Qiguan Xian’ai.
With the help of the intertwining of time and space, the layers of attacks forced
Qiguan Xian’ai to retreat.
“This is the finals.” Wang Ye’s blood boiled.
Every single one of them was much more powerful than a fake Undying
Lifeform like Chimeng King Luojin.
He could not wait to fight them.
Anyone was fine!
In the human virtual cosmic, cheers filled the air.
The intensity of the finals made people’s blood boil and their hearts surge. They felt that they didn’t have enough eyes to watch all the battles.
These were real battles!
“F*ck, Qing Xuan’s earth-shattering axe strike just now! Even the 29th-ranked Mu Tonglin with his supreme-grade defensive supreme treasure was smashed into pieces. It’s too terrifying!”
“Ji Mengni won too easily. The spatial illusion is so magical. She won so easily.
The other party is not her match at all.”
“Dong Baiying’s Icewhirl Spear Technique is truly formidable. Her ability spells and spear technique are perfectly combined. Her talent, Spacetime Shredder, makes her fearless of any spacetime restrictions. Her close combat ability is definitely comparable to the first-tier experts!
“Wow! Oh my god, Qiguan Xian’ai has turned the tables! It’s the Glazed Disc she obtained in the Primordial Star! Beige is too unlucky. Once one is compatible with an innate supreme treasure, the advantage is too great!”
Qiguan Xian’ai won.
Wang Ye watched as the competition world N0.36 went dark and Qiguan Xian ai appeared in the preparation hall.
When the innate supreme treasure, the Glazed Disc, first appeared, it displayed a powerful might that even the experts of the Upper Zone were wary of.
Beige lost well.
Treasures were also a part of one’s strength.
He almost understood her strength.
“If she chooses me, she will regret it.” Wang Ye was very calm.
This was because Qiguan Xuan’ai’s weakness was his forte, the path of time!
Unless her innate supreme treasure, the Glazed Disc, had the ability to turn the tables, otherwise… She had no chance of winning.
After all, he did not have any weaknesses.
Sweeping his gaze across the competition worlds, he saw that nearly half had already ended their battles.
There were no surprises. In a one-on-one duel, strength was the key.
Qing Xuan and Ji Mengni, the two first-tier experts, displayed absolute crushing strength.
Dongse Ziyu, Hui Zhi, Dong Baiying, and the other experts at the edge of the first tier also won easily.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon, the competition worlds began to dim one after another.
The first Expert Challenge Round came to an end. Thirty-six contestants had been eliminated first and had no chance of getting any rewards.
There was no time to rest.
The Expert Challenge Rounds were consecutive!
After each round, their combat prowess would return to its peak state.
The preparation space was silent.
The screen in front of them changed, and the name list of the Lower Zone disappeared.
The 36 people in the Middle Zone who had advanced to the next round were determined.
Qing Xuan, Ji Mengni, Adan, and Dongse Ziyu were added to the Upper Zone and were ranked 29th to 32nd.
Whoosh!
The screen lit up again.
The remaining 32 participants in the Middle Zone became challengers and began the selection process.
They would challenge the 32 experts in the Upper Zone!
“Come, let me have a good look. How many contestants will choose me?” Wang Ye was curious.
How high was his popularity?
Who was his first opponent?
It was here!
On the fluorescent screen, small light bulbs lit up in the Upper Zone.
“Oh?” Wang Ye’s lips curled up.
