Chapter 10: A Journey to Higher Dimensions Chapter 42: Finals Qualifiers
The competition venue is a huge oval building with a maximum diameter of about 16,000 meters, suspended at an altitude of more than 100,000 meters. It has no support, but has been suspended for a long time.
Xu Jingming and other preliminary contestants were all observing other opponents, especially those who had clones in the outside world. Their minds were working at terrifying speeds, constantly memorizing and calculating the information of their opponents.
"It can be seen from the first round of the preliminaries that I have no hope in the first few sessions." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "Those powerful races without wings have greater flight resistance than me, but there are still more than 50 of them who are faster than me."
"Especially those three! The strong man from the Fire Dragon Clan, the one-armed giant ape, and the strong man from the Mountain Demon Clan. The three of them are far ahead." Xu Jingming was very patient.
As a weak race, they should have avoided the previous sessions.
In the previous sessions, you can feel the strength of your opponents. Do you really want to fight hard? There is no need.
"In the world of all races, weak races are the majority, and a large number of high-dimensional life forms are in weak races." Xu Jingming also remembered the strong people from weak races who arrived at the competition venue later than him. "Weak races, as long as they can enter the top ten thousand, should not be underestimated."
suddenly--
Buzz!
The light shield covered the entire arena, isolating the other preliminary contestants.
"All other preliminary contestants are eliminated." Along with the voice that resounded through the sky, all the powerful men of all races who were floating outside the light shield and were quite unwilling were moved out.
…
"We are not even allowed to watch the subsequent screenings." All the preliminary contestants were moved out, and Yu Yangwei, Feng Ke, and Ying were feeling a little depressed.
Yu Yangwei sighed, "After participating in the preliminaries and seeing these competitors with my own eyes, I understand the gap. Even among the weaker races, there are many who are stronger than us. The possibility of me getting first place in the Ten Thousand Races Arena is zero! There is no point in struggling!"
"Even among the weaker races, there are many that are stronger than us. We have no hope of escaping alive." Ying nodded calmly, "I have been a high-dimensional life form since birth. As a high-dimensional life form in the nascent stage, I have always been very careful to survive, worried about being sacrificed, worried about being killed... but I still couldn't escape this disaster."
Born as a high-dimensional life, he has lived carefully in hiding for many years. However, the existence of the third realm has rescued more than 5 million high-dimensional lives, and Ying is one of them.
"I don't have to hide anymore. I can enjoy life calmly." Ying looked at the city in front of him and smiled. "This is the last period of my life. I should enjoy it."
The fat man Fengke didn't say anything, but just walked silently.
The competition among higher-dimensional life forms is already cruel, and it is even more cruel to the extreme in the world of all races. Among the more than 5 million higher-dimensional life forms, only a very few are destined to survive.
"Compared to low-dimensional life forms, we have lived long enough, which is already pretty good." Yu Yangwei quickly smiled happily, "Even compared to the natives of the Ten Thousand Races World, we are powerful and live a much more comfortable life."
"I come from a low-dimensional life group, and I am the only high-dimensional life in my group." The fat man Fengke said softly, "Even if I die, I will not give up."
Ying, Yu and Yang Wei were both stunned.
…
In the suspended Ten Thousand Races Arena, 10,000 preliminary contestants gathered.
"Congratulations to everyone for passing the first round of screening." The golden intelligent machine in the sky looked down, "The next step is the second round of screening, which is also the final screening! We will select 300 contestants from among the 10,000 preliminary contestants to participate in the main competition."
Xu Jingming raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
300 people will be directly selected in the second round of screening?
The many powerful people present were listening carefully.
"In the second round of screening, there will be an invisible force suppressing you." The golden intelligent machine said, "You need to hold on, the longer the better! Those who can't hold on can choose to give up. As long as you say you give up, the Ten Thousand Races Arena will move you out of the arena."
"I'm giving you a friendly reminder. If you feel like you can't hold on any longer, don't force yourself to hold on! If you hold on to the end, you may not even be able to say the word 'give up' and you may be suppressed to death."
"Those who voluntarily give up, and those who are suppressed to death, are considered eliminated."
"When there are only 300 left, the second round of screening will end." The golden intelligent machine said, "The rules explanation is over, and the final screening is about to begin, 5...4...3..."
"2...1! Start."
This huge oval-shaped arena was shrouded in an invisible force, which acted on every strong man including Xu Jingming.
"Hmm?" Xu Jingming felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Even with his physical fitness, he still felt a little oppressive. And this oppressive force was constantly increasing. Xu Jingming still had the leisure to observe other opponents.
"Those with smaller bodies are finding it relatively easy. Those with larger bodies... are already in quite some pain." Xu Jingming saw that the two giant gods he met when he signed up were now trembling all over.
The two giants were over 30 meters tall. They were too big and were suppressed by a much larger force.
"How come those little guys are so relaxed?" The two Titans were good friends and were also standing together. At the moment, they both felt it was extremely difficult and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
"When flying, those little guys are about the same speed as us. We are big and have more resistance, so our physical fitness should be stronger than theirs. This invisible force... is it that the bigger the body, the greater the pressure?"
"This round of screening is unfair to the powerful races."
"However, we can't even make it into the top 300, so it would be a joke for us to take part in the finals." Many thoughts emerged in the minds of the two Titans at this moment. They were sweating profusely and were bathed in heat.
Over time.
"Give up." "Give up." "I give up." "Give up." One by one, the high-dimensional lives of powerful races choose to give up. This selection is indeed more biased towards weaker races.
The two giant gods, with around 5,000 men, also chose to give up.
At this moment, if you are a little bit stronger, you can eliminate a group of opponents.
Xu Jingming still felt very relaxed. He looked left and right, and saw that there were fewer and fewer players still holding on in the arena, but he did not see any who were suppressed to death.
"The high-dimensional beings are not stupid. They have to fight hard to get the 300 places in the main competition. Even if they barely make it to the main competition, they will be eliminated quickly and have no hope of getting first place among all the races." Xu Jingming watched, "They can't see any hope, so they just give up one by one."
When there were more than two thousand preliminary contestants left on the field, weaker races began to be eliminated.
"I couldn't even make it through the preliminaries."
Various bird races were also eliminated in large numbers. Their average level was indeed weaker than that of other players, and many of them were naturally eliminated in the second round of screening.
"Um?"
When there were 1,000 players left on the field, Xu Jingming already felt the pressure on him was great.
"There's some pressure." The Fire Dragon Clan warrior, the Mountain Demon Clan warrior, and the one-armed giant ape king all felt some pressure. After all, they were too big and the pressure they faced was very strong.
Especially the strong men of the Mountain Demon Clan, who were over 60 meters tall, suffered extremely terrifying pressure.
900, 800, 700...
There are fewer and fewer players who can persist, and the ones who remain are the real elites.
"There are less than 500 contestants left." Xu Jingming felt that the pressure was already terrifying. He observed his surroundings, "The weak races that have survived until now may be my competitors in the future."
"Even if the rules in the second round of screening favor the weaker races, the number of weaker races that have survived until now is less than 50."
"They are probably extraordinary in the outside world."
Xu Jingming said secretly.
I am a newly promoted person in the Eternal Realm of the Heart Realm. I reached the Eternal Realm in about ten thousand years, so my talent is extremely high.
What about other opponents?
"Even if I have some advantages temporarily, it doesn't mean I will still have advantages thousands of years later." Xu Jingming thought, "There are also weaker races such as the ant tribe and the bee tribe. There must be some amazing strong people among them."
"335, 334, 333..." A stern forest elf warrior was shaking as he observed his surroundings. "I, 'Shan Yi Emperor', have cultivated to the third half-step realm. In this first competition, I can't even enter the main competition?"
"In the past three hundred years, I have fallen behind. In the days to come, I have to work harder." The strong elf said silently at this moment.
"Crack." The strong elf felt that his bones began to crack under the pressure.
"I give up." The strong elf shouted, and before being moved away, he glanced around, "There are still 10 people from the weaker races holding on, and each of them is stronger than me!"
call.
He was moved out.
…
Xu Jingming was also struggling, and his expression became much more serious as he observed the opponents around him.
310th, 309th...
With more and more voices of giving up, fewer and fewer people can stay in the main competition. Every strong person who leaves remembers those strong people who can still hold on.
Suddenly, the extremely terrifying oppressive force completely dissipated, and Xu Jingming felt a lot more relaxed in an instant, and he seemed to be flying.
"If I continue like this, I can only last half a minute at most." Xu Jingming looked around. There were a bunch of huge monsters around him, and only a handful of small ones. "There are 300 contestants in the main competition, and only 9 from weak races?"
Even though the second round of screening has already favored weaker races, the number of weaker races that can enter the main competition is still pitifully small.
"After just over three hundred years of training, the improvement speed of weak races is much slower than that of strong races." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "Weaker races like the Ant Tribe grow even slower. I don't know when they will be able to enter the main competition."
"My body is already shaking. This human is obviously more relaxed than me." A member of the Hu tribe glanced at Xu Jingming.
"Nine members from weak races. I am the Lord of the Abyss. Where are the other eight?" A strong dwarf was observing his surroundings with a smile, focusing on observing the other contestants from the same weak races.
"The screening is over." The golden intelligent machine said with a smile, "Congratulations to everyone present for becoming the main contestants of this Ten Thousand Races Competition."
All the contestants were also paying attention to each other, especially the nine contestants from weaker races who attracted the most attention.
