One hundred contestants, four-man battle royale.
This meant that Chen Zhao had to be in charge of twenty-five matches.
The shortest match only lasted three minutes.
However, the longest match they had ever played was a full seven hours.
Even Chen Zhao found it boring.
But this was a competition. With no time limit, there was a high chance that something like this would happen.
After the twenty-five matches, it was already the fourth day.
Even Chen Zhao felt tired.
Of course, the tiredness was mental.
It was a rather painful process.
Some matches were fine. They were exciting and didn't last long.
But others weren't so enjoyable.
There were no techniques at all. They just fought each other.
They were evenly matched. Then, they just stood there and kept releasing magic power to see who ran out of magic power first.
These matches were not entertaining at all. There was no technique at all.
But the contestants couldn't be blamed. After all, they weren't here to show off their skills.
There wasn't a rule that said the matches had to be entertaining.
Chen Zhao wasn't the worst off.
Zhang Tianyi was the worst off.
The matches he was in charge of lasted for six days.
There were three or four matches almost every day.
One could imagine what he had been through.
To Chen Zhao's relief, Helise and Engelite both made it into the top hundred.
…
"Is the fourth match still a single match?"
Chen Zhao sat on the chair and leaned back lazily.
If it was still a single match like the third match, Chen Zhao felt that he would be depressed.
"No, the fourth match is survival," Zhang Tianyi said.
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhao asked, confused.
"There are four extreme environments. The first one is the extremely cold environment. There's a mysterious ice cave under Island 98 where the temperature is negative 100 degrees all year round. The cold air there can even cause frostbite to the soul. The second one is Island 35. The average temperature of the abyss volcano there is more than 100 degrees. The third one is the deep reef sea area of Island 21. The deepest sea area there can even reach 15000 meters. The fourth one is the sky. It's a test of who can fly the highest."
Zhang Tianyi paused and continued, "For these four extreme environment tests, the contestants can choose any one of them. The cold and hot environments are a competition of endurance, to see who can last the longest in the extreme environment. The deep sea test is to see who can dive the deepest. The fatal height, as the name suggests, is to see who can fly the highest. Only four people can advance in each of these tests. That is to say, if only four people choose one test, then no matter what the score of these four people is, they will advance directly. If someone is unlucky and ninety-nine people choose the same test, then all ninety-nine people have to compete for the four spots in this test."
"What a troublesome match. Isn't there a direct match?"
"Originally, there were, but in order to accommodate a picky judge like you, we added some special events to the competition."
"Old Zhang, you're too picky."
"Anyway, that's the situation. Which category are you in charge of?" Zhang Tianyi asked.
"Aren't there seven judges? I don't think I need to be in charge of one category for the fourth match, right? "
"None of the four suits me," the old shaman said. "I'm a shaman. My power comes from nature, but these extreme environments aren't natural environments. They're very effective against me. My performance might not be as good as some contestants. I don't want to embarrass myself, so I'll be absent for the fourth match."
"I can be in charge of the extreme hot environment," Byfla said.
"I can be in charge of the extreme cold environment," Mary, the 23rd blood, said.
"I'm not good at high altitudes or extreme depths," Wuxu said.
"My situation is similar," Qingping said. "Taoist spells can allow you to ride the clouds, but you can't fly too high."
"Me too." Zhang Tianyi said helplessly. "But my Water Escape spell can be used a little."
"So I can only choose the high altitudes?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll be in charge of the high altitudes."
The assignment for the fourth match was completed.
The old shaman, Qingping, and Wuxu were absent from the refereeing.
The flaws in their spells were too obvious, so they took the initiative to give way.
Chen Zhao couldn't blame them.
He couldn't force them to do it, right?
Just then, Zhang Tianyi's phone rang. Then it was Mary, the 23rd blood, and Byfla's. Chen Zhao was confused.
Chen Zhao was confused. All three of their phones rang at the same time. Did they plan this beforehand?
Zhang Tianyi picked up. "I'm Zhang Tianyi."
"Grandmaster, something happened. Something big happened."
"What happened?"
"The incident in the ether world has been exposed."
"Exposed?"
"Yes, dozens of media outlets around the world have obtained a videotape. Now all the TV stations are broadcasting the supernatural events in this videotape."
"What? How could this be? Do you know who exposed it? "
"I don't know. I haven't gotten any useful information yet. It was an anonymous person who sent it to the TV stations. The whole world is in an uproar now. Everyone is seeking and waiting for an answer."
Hearing the news, Zhang Tianyi had mixed feelings.
In the end, it still happened.
Just as Zhang Tianyi had guessed, information spread at an indescribable speed in this era.
It had only been a few minutes, but everyone already knew about it.
Byfla and the 23rd generation Blood Mary also ended their conversation at this time. They looked at Zhang Tianyi in shock.
"Did something happen?" Chen Zhao realized that all three of them had strange expressions.
"Take out your phone and search the ether world."
Soon, Chen Zhao understood what had happened.
The spiritual world had finally been completely exposed to normal people.
This time was different from all the other times.
In the past, the media had discovered supernatural events.
But the governments had easily covered it up.
This time, it was completely exposed. The governments couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.
Chen Zhao found news about the Aether World on the internet. Or rather, it was a ten-minute video.
It was a battle between a few contestants and a magical beast.
In the end, they sacrificed one person in order to eliminate this Magical Beast.
Chen Zhao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he wasn't filmed.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just cause an uproar but panic.
