Chapter 10: A Journey to Higher Dimensions Chapter 50: Determined to Win
Time passed day by day, and the day of the preliminaries arrived in the blink of an eye.
In a quiet room.
Xu Jingming sat cross-legged with an empty mind.
"It has been more than 5,000 years since it came to the world of all races. The first champion was the Fire Dragon Descendant 'Thunderhorn Mountain', the second champion was the Golden Flame Divine Bird, and the third champion was the King of the Mountain Demon Tribe. Three of the top five in the first competition successfully won first place. The remaining two, the One-Armed Giant Ape King and the Rain Tiger Tribe strongman, both died in the competition."
The top five selected in the first competition are all very extraordinary.
Either we win first place or we all die.
"The fourth champion was a strong man from the Poison Dragon Clan. The fifth champion was a strong man from the Sea Tiger Clan who was over five meters tall. In the fifth championship, my strength was estimated to be at the third or fourth level."
Because in the last session, it was comparable to the third and fourth place.
A thousand years later, Xu Jingming made another qualitative breakthrough. He felt that he had a chance of winning first place in this competition, so he decided to participate.
"The Sixth Competition is very suitable for me. If it is suitable, I must participate. If I delay for too long, those ultra-small races will emerge." Xu Jingming thought, "Even if the ants, bees and other ultra-small races delay aging, their lifespan is estimated to be only about 10,000 years. Once they reach their peak... it will be difficult for me to defeat them."
Everyone is of the same level. The smaller the size, the tougher and more terrifying the body, and the more advantages it has in a head-on fight.
When a 20-centimeter-tall ant warrior is at the same level as a mountain demon warrior who is over 60 meters tall, how terrifyingly dense and tough must his body be?
So once they reach their peak, the smaller they are, the stronger they are! But their lifespan is short, and their peak period may only last for a few thousand years, so there are only a few opportunities.
"We must seize the opportunity this time." Xu Jingming clearly remembered how many strong people died on the field in the previous five competitions.
Especially the final round-robin tournament, which is a round-robin tournament among the top five teams. It is the time when one is closest to being the 'first among all races'. At that time, the top five strong men will fight for their lives and it is easy for them to die.
"It's about time."
Xu Jingming stood up and walked out of the quiet room, left the Jing family manor alone, and walked towards the preliminary venue.
…
Preliminary gathering place.
Xu Jingming was leaning against the wall alone in the corner, looking at the densely packed preliminary contestants. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of thousands of them.
"There are quite a few more natives." Xu Jingming could recognize them at a glance. After all, it has been more than 5,000 years, and those who are still at level 50 or above are naturally natives.
"The champions of the previous five sessions have all publicly released their body-refining methods. There are also other high-dimensional beings that have released a large number of body-refining methods... The natives of the Ten Thousand Races World are generally becoming stronger." Xu Jingming thought, "Perhaps that great being captured us just to enrich this world and give it more body-refining methods."
There are more than 5 million high-dimensional lives from many territories with various growth experiences.
Their minds, wisdom, and other aspects are not comparable to the natives with short life spans. They can make the body refining methods of the Ten Thousand Races World reach a high level in a short period of time.
But among the more than 5 million high-dimensional lives, only very few will be able to get out alive, and the rest will die.
"Lord Jingming."
"Lord Jingming."
A voice came from far away.
Xu Jingming looked in the direction of the sound and saw three human figures rushing towards him in the distance.
"It's you." Xu Jingming smiled. These three people were Yu Yangwei, Ying and Feng Ke.
"Has Lord Jingming also signed up?" Yu Yangwei asked with a smile.
Xu Jingming nodded.
"Since the first competition, Master Jingming has not participated." Ying Ye became more talkative. He smiled and said, "Master Jingming will definitely be able to win first place this time."
"There are so many strong people, and no one knows which strong people will emerge." Xu Jingming said.
The champions of the previous three sessions all showed their dazzling brilliance from the very beginning, including the Fire Dragon, the Golden Flame Bird, and the King of the Mountain Demon Clan.
The champions who came after him were all unknown strong men who suddenly emerged.
"Many strong people have accumulated a lot of experience and are about to burst forth." Xu Jingming looked around. "After all, there are more than 5 million high-dimensional beings. No one knows which strong people will emerge."
Because of their influence on the air, words do not travel very far.
"Yes, we have participated for five consecutive sessions, and failed to make it past the preliminaries five times." Yu Yangwei sighed.
"We failed all five rounds." The fat man Feng Ke also shook his head. "There are new strong people emerging in every round. The three of us have never made it past the second round of the preliminaries."
Xu Jingming nodded.
The preliminary round has always been two rounds. The first round of screening is fixed and has always been flown to the main competition venue. However, the test of the second round changes every time.
"He's here too?" Yu Yangwei looked at a figure in the distance in surprise.
Xu Jingming turned his head and looked, his expression becoming serious.
He was a strong man from the Hu tribe, about three meters tall and covered with black hair.
"Li Lu?" Xu Jingming naturally knew the other person.
During the first competition, there were only two people from the weak races who made it to the second round of the main competition. One was Xu Jingming, and the other was Li Lu from the Hu tribe.
"Li Lu didn't participate in the following sessions either." Ying said solemnly, "He suddenly came to participate in the sixth session, so he must have a good chance."
The gazes of Xu Jingming and the others also attracted Li Lu's attention.
Li Lu also looked over. When he saw Xu Jingming, his expression became more serious and he nodded slightly to Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming also nodded slightly.
"I haven't seen him for five thousand years. Li Lu's aura is even more unfathomable." Xu Jingming said secretly. Judging from his appearance, Li Lu used to have dense hair all over his body, but now his hair is much thinner and the hair on his head has fallen out, leaving him a bald head.
"Jingming from the human race, Li Lu from the tiger race, are they both here?"
"They were the only two who made it to the second round of the first tournament. They are both here this time."
"Given their potential, I'm afraid they all want to win first place."
Many high-dimensional beings also noticed Xu Jingming and Li Lu, both of whom were extremely famous.
suddenly--
The golden intelligent machine appeared in the sky, suppressing all the contestants with invisible electromagnetic force. It smiled and said, "Dear preliminary contestants, welcome to sign up for this Ten Thousand Races Competition. The rules of the first round of preliminary competition remain unchanged. You need to rely on your own abilities to fly to the high-altitude competition venue. The first ten thousand to arrive... can enter the second round of preliminary competition."
"The rules of the preliminary rounds have already been made public, so I won't repeat them."
"All contestants, please get ready. Now count down, 5...4...3...2...1! Start!"
As soon as the golden intelligent machine finished speaking, the suppressing electromagnetic force was instantly withdrawn.
All of a sudden, more than 500,000 preliminary contestants exerted their full strength and soared into the sky.
The bird tribe was still the best in the first round of the preliminaries, but the weaker bird tribe warriors would rather slow down and not rush to the front, because the shock wave from the strongest warriors at the highest point was difficult for them to withstand, and they might even be in danger of death.
There are also many natives who have a strength of more than level 50, but they participate only to see the strength of the real strong ones. They just push off the ground and then fall freely.
"We are still far away from being truly strong." These natives all sighed.
call!
Xu Jingming stepped on the ground and flew into the sky. Then he stepped on the air, creating shock waves. He used the force to rush upward and came to the third place among hundreds of thousands of contestants.
The first one was a huge flying bird with incredible speed .
The second one was a tiny creature that flew into the sky at super high speed like a bullet.
The third place is Xu Jingming.
"Ant tribe?" Xu Jingming saw clearly that the one who rushed faster than him was a strong ant tribe member, about 30 cm tall, only slightly larger than his palm.
This made Xu Jingming look more serious: "In just the sixth competition, there are already such powerful ants? How can these super small races such as ants rise so quickly?"
Ant Hafucheng looked at Xu Jingming flying in the air below him with a cold look in his eyes: "My body is much smaller than his, and the resistance is much smaller, but I am only a little faster than him?"
whoosh!
Xu Jingming noticed that the seventh person was a thin figure about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a gray robe and a mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. But his gray skin color, pointed ears, and thin body could identify him: "A gray elf. A gray elf with such speed must be very powerful."
While flying, Xu Jingming also paid attention to the strong ones outside the top 30 of the flying tribe. These strong ones were not too big in size, and the tallest one was only more than nine meters tall.
"It can be seen from the preliminaries that the powerful race is gradually coming to an end." Xu Jingming thought.
call!
The main race venue at an altitude of more than 100,000 meters was too close for Xu Jingming and his team. Xu Jingming did not try too hard and arrived at the high-altitude suspended main race venue at a normal speed, becoming the third one to do so.
"Lord Jingming is the third one to enter the competition arena." Ying, Yu Yangwei, and Feng Ke also saw it clearly, but the three of them were outside the top 50,000 and were eliminated again in the first round of the preliminaries.
Those who were eliminated landed one by one.
There was a look of loneliness in the fat man Fengke's eyes.
"I tried my best, but I couldn't even make it through the first round of the preliminaries. Now, some super small races such as the ants and bees have entered the finals." The fat man Fengke whispered, "I have no hope at all."
"No way." Yu Yangwei patted his shoulder, "Feng Ke, sometimes we can't succeed just because we try our best."
"Those who can leave are either Half-Step to the Third Realm, Abyss Lords, or those with extremely high talent in the Eternal Realm. How many high-dimensional beings in the Newborn Realm can leave?" Yu Yangwei said, "Let's go out for a drink. I'll treat you."
"Let's go and have a drink together." Yingye urged.
The fat man Fengke nodded and walked out with his companions.
…
Inside the stadium.
Xu Jingming and his team are currently in the second round of the preliminaries.
The temperature in the entire stadium was terribly high and the air was distorted. Xu Jingming and his team were suffering from the high temperature.
"The second round of the preliminaries is a high temperature test. The temperature will increase without limit until only 300 contestants are left in the main competition." Xu Jingming felt the terrifying ultra-high temperature penetrate into every part of his body.
This temperature was very comfortable for him, just like taking a hot bath.
But many players on the field have begun to give up voluntarily.
"Give up." "I give up." "Give up."
Many contestants were completely red, as if they were cooked, and they were nearing their limits and had to give up.
However, those who are strong still have the leisure to observe the other contestants.
"There are quite a few ultra-small races." Xu Jingming looked at the extremely small contestants from the Ant Tribe, Bee Tribe, Demon Rat Tribe, etc. "It seems that there are quite a few ultra-small races that can enter the main competition."
Xu Jingming naturally felt a sense of urgency.
It can be predicted that there will be more ultra-compact race participants in the next session.
I must seize the opportunity this time! I must win first place!
Finally, after the high-temperature screening lasted for more than an hour, only 300 people were still able to hold on.
"call."
The terrifying high temperature disappeared in an instant, the temperature returned to normal, and the bodies of the 300 strong men on the field naturally adjusted and recovered.
"Congratulations to everyone present for becoming the finalists of this year's Ten Thousand Races Competition." The voice of the golden intelligent machine resounded throughout the arena.
