Chapter 187: First Round of Selection, Instant Kill!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After waiting for a few minutes, Li Kaifu walked over from somewhere with two secret realm keys in his hand.
...After handing the key to the two of them, Li Kaifu instructed seriously, “You must take this well. This selection is for every ten teams to enter a secret realm. If you lose it or get the wrong one, we won’t be able to enter the same secret realm.”
Wang Xiao took the key. “Ten teams per secret realm? Aren’t there too few people? I think there seem to be a lot of students in your academy. In that case, they need to prepare many secret realms, right?”
“There are indeed many people from the academy, but most of them were eliminated in the preliminary round.”
Li Kaifu nodded and took out a flow chart to introduce. “There are a thousand people participating in today’s selection. It will be divided into three rounds. The first two rounds will be the advancement competition from one thousand to one hundred and one hundred to ten. Then, the third round will be between ten people.
Hearing this competition schedule, Wang Xiao suddenly frowned. “Then if I really accidentally help you win the championship, are you confident in leading the others? After all, when it’s time for the academy’s ranking assessment, I won’t help you anymore.”
Li Kaifu sneered when he heard this. “The academy head has long thought of this problem, so we can’t bring helpers in the third round. You just have to help me pass the advancement competition and obtain a spot in the final ten.”
Wang Xiao nodded in realization. “Two rounds of advancement competition sounds quite simple.”
“It was supposed to be quite simple.”
Li Kaifu sighed bitterly. When he went to collect the secret realm key, several geniuses of the academies were staring at him. From the looks of it, they clearly wanted to eliminate him in the first round.
Fortunately, the distribution of the secret realms was random. Those geniuses might not be able to succeed. However, after being tortured by Yu Bo just now, they had already become the public enemy of everyone present. No matter which secret realm they entered, they would probably become the target of everyone’s focus fire.
Thinking of this, Li Kaifu could not help but sigh again. He looked at Wang Xiao and said helplessly, “Brother Wang, to be honest, if not for the fact that the selection is about to begin, I would definitely have looked for someone else… Therefore, after entering the secret realm, can I trouble you to keep a low profile?”
“Don’t worry, I am best at keeping a low profile!”
Wang Xiao patted his chest and promised, but he also felt a little embarrassed. He paused for a moment and changed the topic. “By the way, Brother Li, do you know a person called Liu Yuyang?
“Liu Yuyang?”
Li Kaifu recalled for a moment and nodded. “I think I’ve heard this name before. Is it also from our academy?”
Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up as he continued to ask, “Then do you know what his lord talent is?”
Li Kaifu recalled for a moment and shook his head with a difficult expression. “It seems to be an auxiliary talent. I don’t remember the details. Why are you asking?”
“It’s fine. I had a little conflict with him, so I was just asking.”
Wang Xiao smiled ambiguously. At the same time, he had already crossed Liu Yuyang off the list of opponents in his heart.
Even Li Kaifu, who loved to make friends, had vague memories of Liu Yuyang. It could be seen how ordinary this person’s strength was. Wang Xiao was really too lazy to waste his energy on him.
Buzz—
As they chatted, a low hum suddenly sounded. Then, the secret realm key in everyone’s hands began to flash, as if it resonated with the mysterious buzzing.
Wang Xiao was wondering what was going on when he saw Li Kaifu’s expression turn cold. “The competition has begun!”
“So suddenly?”
Wang Xiao was stunned and thought to himself that this was too rash.
Shouldn’t people like the academy head go on stage to speak at such an event?
In this short period of time, a few people beside him had already crushed the secret realm key. Their figures instantly disappeared on the spot. Then, golden light continuously flickered on the field, and the original sea of people quickly became sparse.
“Brother Wang, let’s go in quickly!”
Li Kaifu called out, took out his secret realm key, and crushed it.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other. Although they felt a little speechless, they immediately crushed the key and followed.
Golden light flashed. When Wang Xiao opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in a world of ice and snow.
The wind blew the snow on his body. Wang Xiao subconsciously tightened his clothes and turned around to see Zhou Xiruo and Li Kaifu standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down at something.
“What are you guys looking at?”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he also walked over. Before he got close, he felt a strong energy fluctuation. He looked down and saw two groups of people fighting happily at the bottom of the cliff dozens of meters deep.
Although the ranks of these two groups of soldiers were not high, they were very compatible with ice attribute secret realms. At the beginning of the battle, all kinds of ice spikes and snow blades flew everywhere, looking extremely visually impactful.
“It’s Sun Qingwei and Lu Ziyi.”
Li Kaifu recognized the captains on both sides and immediately introduced them in a low voice. “Their strength is above average, but one of them is an ice lord, and the other has ice soldiers. It might be a little troublesome to encounter them here.”
Wang Xiao studied it for a moment and smacked his lips. “Is it troublesome… Since we entered the same secret realm, we have to resolve it, right?”
Li Kaifu nodded. Before he could speak, he saw a black shadow flash past from the corner of his eye. A strange creature with wings on its back and black armor all over its body appeared out of thin air and turned into a black lightning that pounced at the cliff!
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] did not hide its aura at all. Everyone noticed it almost instantly.
Seeing Wang Xiao standing at the top of the cliff, the two teams immediately turned their guns at the same time. Unfortunately, they were still a step too
slow.
“[Berserk Shock]!”
Wang Xiao shouted lazily. The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] suddenly flapped its wings and increased its speed. Then, it retracted its wings and curled up its body, smashing heavily into the middle of the battlefield of the two sides!
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the shock wave swept out like dry weeds. The snow in a radius of a hundred meters was instantly cleared. Even Li Kaifu, who was on the top of the cliff, felt a strong tremor!
When the snow fell again, the mutated beast had already disappeared. Along with it, the dozen or so soldiers disappeared, leaving only the two lords lying unconscious on the ground.
When Li Kaifu saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out!
That was an entire two teams! Moreover, their strength was above average in the Nine Heavens Academy! They actually could not even withstand a single move from Wang Xiao?
Compared to the shocked Li Kaifu, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo’s reactions were much calmer.
Zhou Xiruo almost did not react, and Wang Xiao only stuck his head out to take a look. Then, he rubbed his hands and looked at Li Kaifu. “It’s done here. Hurry up and find the next team. This place is so cold.”
“Ah? Oh, okay!”
Li Kaifu was stunned for a moment before reacting. He looked at Ya Xiao and the other unlucky people again. When he looked at Wang Xiao again, his gaze was different from before. “These ten Breakthrough Stones were really worth it!”
Li Kaifu thought to himself..
