"Among you, there will be people who will be left in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower forever, without a corpse to be found!"
The skinny elder's horrifying words alarmed the rookies in the array as their expressions changed.
The skinny elder laughed dryly and said, "Don't worry. I'm talking about those idiots who do not know what's good for them and are obsessed with treasures. They are careless and will miss the best opportunity to escape at critical moments due to their human weaknesses. If you have a heart that cherishes life, you will definitely be able to return safely."
When the rookies heard this, they gradually calmed down.
The skinny elder immediately gave a cold smile and said, "But if you really die in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, the organization committee will only give some consolation money that's better than nothing to your family. No one will be responsible for your death. Do you understand? Now is the final opportunity for you to leave. Once you enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, it will be equivalent to you signing the life-and-death agreement! "
The atmosphere immediately turned heavy, but no rookies chose to leave at that moment. This was because the mortality rate in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was not considered high over the years. As long as they cherished their lives, it would not take a second for them to say the exit command 'Open Sesame'. They could basically escape from any danger.
All they needed to do was to overcome their desire for treasures and heritage.
No one would risk their lives for treasures and heritage.
That was what the rookies thought.
However, under the obstruction of the golden barrier, no one could see how strange the skinny elder's smile was.
After a moment, the skinny elder said again, "I believe your person-in-charge should have clearly analyzed the few functions of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, such as the competitive function, the mission function … I will not elaborate further."
"The selection method this time is to choose ten people from a thousand. You will be ranked according to the number of levels you reach. If the number of levels is the same, the mission completion rate will be compared. Although we, who are outside the tower, are unable to know the exact situation inside the tower, we can obtain detailed information on every person who enters. For example, who was the first to reach the second level, who is currently in the lead, who is temporarily lagging behind, and who was eliminated at which level. We will know all of this, so work hard. Your performance will be noticed by the various organizations."
"Next, all of you will be teleported to the first level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. There will be a hundred teleportation altars there. You will be randomly split into a hundred ten-person teams that will be sent to different locations. The other nine people might be strangers to you, or a few of them might be your partners. This requires a certain amount of luck, so I wish all of you good luck."
"You can cooperate with each other, or you can compete with each other viciously. In short, completing the mission faster than 90% of the survivors is your most important goal. Oh, forgive me for using the word 'survivors', but it's very appropriate, isn't it? Hehe … "
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. This old man hopes that … all of you can come back alive."
"Teleportation, begin!"
Just as the thin elder's voice faded, golden beams of light immediately shot out from every golden pattern of the array. Before the rookies could digest the elder's long and strange words, they were completely enveloped by the golden light, disappearing into the golden light.
.....
At the instant he was enveloped by the golden light, his consciousness suddenly turned blurry. Immediately, he felt a sense of weightlessness, as though he was stepping on air, but he could not fall down no matter what.
Shi Xiaobai circulated "Unleaking Turtle Aura" to eliminate the sensory stimuli, but when he opened his eyes, all he saw was an overwhelming golden color.
After a few moments, the golden color finally dissipated, and other colors began to appear in his blurry vision.
His deaf ears gradually recovered their hearing, and he could hear faint noises in his ears.
Shi Xiaobai closed his eyes deeply before opening them once again. Finally, he could see the situation in front of him clearly. He was still surrounded by a golden barrier that surged into the sky, but this golden barrier was a lot smaller. Previously, the golden barrier was enough to envelop more than ten thousand people, but now, the golden barrier was only the size of a football field.
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings and saw a few people standing around him. These people had their eyes closed, and they were subconsciously muttering something.
He did a count. There were a total of ten people trapped in the golden barrier, including him.
From the looks of it, they had already arrived at the first level's teleportation altar that the thin elder had mentioned.
Shi Xiaobai took a careful look, but he did not recognize any of the other nine people. They were all strangers.
"Dong!"
At this moment, a deafening gong sounded from the sky, instantly resounding through the world!
The nine unfamiliar rookies suddenly opened their eyes.
After opening their eyes to adjust to the surroundings, they similarly surveyed their surroundings and looked at the others. Then, they let out their own voices.
"This is … inside the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower?"
"We have arrived. Teleportation altar?"
"Sigh, I don't recognize any of them."
"Me too. I don't recognize any of them."
"After all, it's just a random ten people out of a thousand. The chances of being together with someone familiar are just too low."
“.....”
The few of them had a simple exchange.
At this moment, a bespectacled youth walked to the middle of the altar and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."
The rookies in the altar immediately quietened down.
The bespectacled youth nudged his glasses and said, "First of all, we are very lucky because we are grouped with Tu Dahei!"
With this said, the rookies immediately turned their heads and scanned the area before focusing their attention on Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai nodded and said, "Your luck is indeed not bad. You have the chance to witness This King's glory with your own eyes."
The bespectacled youth immediately gave an embarrassed smile. He turned to look at the others and said, "If I'm not wrong, we are now in the precious preparation period. Once this golden barrier disappears, the trial will officially begin. I think we should use this period of time to confirm … a cooperative relationship!"
The youth's eyes quickly scanned everyone's expressions. Without waiting for anyone to react, he immediately said, "A benign cooperative relationship is definitely more advantageous than a vicious competition! The strength of ten people is definitely greater than one person fighting alone. Furthermore, the other nine hundred and ninety people at the other altars are our true opponents. As for the other nine people here, they should be the opponents of our opponents, which is also our friends! "
The youth's words made the others fall into deep thought. Moments later, they responded one after another.
"Yes, this brother is right. We should become friends!"
"Yes, cooperation is indeed more advantageous."
"The matters of cooperation do need to be discussed properly."
"Everyone, let's cooperate!"
“.....”
The bespectacled youth's eyes flashed a look of glee before he said to everyone, "In summary, I believe we should form a ten-person team. Furthermore, I suggest that Brother Tu Dahei be our team leader!"
.....
