"Cough, cough, cough, Dali." Dean Fergos could not stand it anymore. "This is the Astral Genius Battle, not a vacation at the beach. Don't you think there are too many women in your team …"
"Too many?" Hong Dali looked around. "I think there are too few …"
The other students were not happy. "Hong Dali, we know you are strong, but isn't it too childish for you to lead people like this?" "That's right, they are all women. We are going to fight to the death inside. Are you going in to enjoy the scenery?" "Don't drag us down. If you can't get a higher ranking because of you, you will be in big trouble!"
Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction. Then, Gu Feifei clenched her fists. "All of you can just be cannon fodder. Don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Once Big Sister Gu Feifei said that, everyone else stopped talking …
Li Yang raised his eyebrows at Levis and softly said, "Big Brother Levis, it looks like they don't have much confidence in us."
"I hope we can meet someone who can fight." Levis nonchalantly shrugged. "In the virtual world, I can use my full strength. Otherwise, I might be a little worried."
"Alright." Fergos pressed his hand down and said, "Everyone, quiet down. Since Hong Dali thinks there is no problem, then it's settled. Prepare yourselves. See you in the virtual world in five minutes. "
Hence, everyone returned to their rooms to prepare.
…
"Big Brother Dali." As Hong Dali was preparing in his room, someone knocked on the door. Then, the voice of the Hong Family's little princess, Hua Xiangyu, sounded. "I heard you are going to participate in the Astral Genius Battle. How are your preparations? Can I come in? "
"It will be ready soon." Hong Dali packed up and opened the door. "Come in."
"Big Brother Dali … Huh?" Hua Xiangyu habitually walked in. When she saw Hong Dali's appearance, she was instantly stunned. "Big Brother Dali, you, you are wearing this to participate in the Astral Genius Battle?!"
It was no wonder that Hua Xiangyu was so shocked. Hong Dali wasn't wearing any equipment at all. Instead, he was wearing plain clothes — he was dressed exactly like Stephen Chow from God of Gamblers. A black suit, a white scarf around his neck, and a black trench coat on the outside.
His hair was combed to the point that even a fly would break its leg if it landed on him. He even had a cigar in his mouth. Wearing a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, his entire person could probably only be described with one word — OP!
"Not bad, right?" Hong Dali was quite satisfied. "I've thought about it for a long time. This outfit suits my status better." As he spoke, he turned around, and on the back of his trench coat, five large white words danced like dragons and phoenixes: "Strength Creates Miracles!"
Hua Xiangyu's mouth formed an "O" shape and her eyes widened. In the end, she could only nod woodenly. "Still … still alright …"
"That'll do." Hong Dali snapped his fingers. "I'll take this!"
"Then, then, Big Brother Dali, I wish you good luck." Hua Xiangyu smiled and walked away as if she was sleepwalking. "I'll go back first …"
Hence, they entered the virtual world.
At this time, Dean Fergos was already waiting in the virtual world exclusive to the Shenglong Astral Divine College.
The exclusive virtual world was a special existence in the virtual world. Simply put, it was equivalent to a separate instance in a game. Only people on Shenglong Star could enter. Other outsiders could not enter no matter what.
After all, not everyone was qualified to watch a grand event like the Astral Genius Battle.
Very quickly, 10,000 people gathered. When Hong Dali and Gu Feifei appeared with a large group of lackeys, all the contestants from the Divine College had their mouths wide open …
This Hong Dali was too much of a rascal, wasn't he?! This was the Astral Genius Battle! You're going to participate in the competition in this outfit?!
Yet, after Hong Dali stood in the crowd, he even waved and greeted them. Instantly, everyone's jaws dropped …
"Cough, cough, cough." Fergos almost had a stroke due to Hong Dali's anger. After violently coughing a few times, he finally resisted the urge to beat this fellow up. Then, he loudly announced the rules of the competition. "Alright, everyone, since everyone is here, I'll announce the specific rules of this year's Astral Genius Battle.
"Currently, there are a total of 10,062 people participating in this Astral Genius Battle. This is a grand event rarely seen in the past few hundred years. This is something that makes everyone very happy and excited. After all, the more contestants there are, the stronger the team that wins in the end.
"And for this time's Astral Genius Battle, we guarantee that everything will be held in an absolutely public environment.
"All the contestants will be between 18 to 24 years old. There will definitely not be any experts who have been famous for decades sneaking in. Everyone can rest assured about this."
What was a genius in the Astral Genius Battle? Only those with outstanding talent at a young age were called geniuses. If someone who had been cultivating for decades sneaked in, it would undoubtedly be extremely unfair to the contestants this time. Therefore, the age barrier was very strict.
Fergos continued to introduce. "In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, everyone's information is the same as in reality. Therefore, everyone here can display their skills and contribute to their team."
"This year's Astral Genius Battle will be divided into two stages.
"In the first stage, out of 100 teams, only the top ten will remain. "In the second stage, the top three will be decided from the top ten. Then, the top three will decide on the first, second, and third place.
"First place in the team battle will be rewarded with five billion Astral Dollars. Second place will be rewarded with two billion Astral Dollars. Third place will be rewarded with one billion Astral Dollars. Fourth to tenth place will be rewarded with one hundred million Astral Dollars. Eleventh to hundredth place will be rewarded with ten million Astral Dollars. "
This was the reward for the Astral Genius Battle. Five billion Astral Dollars for the first place was definitely not a small sum. Five billion Astral Dollars was enough to make everyone go crazy. "Five billion! So much money. Even if we get a share, it will still be tens of millions. So much money! " "That's right. Five billion, and this is just the monetary reward. As for the experience gained from the battle, it's even more priceless!"
Yup, everyone was very excited. Of course, Hong Dali was an exception …
As expected, seeing how happy everyone was, Hong Dali decisively poured cold water on them. "Only so little money …"
Everyone broke down.
Yup, they really could not compete with Hong Dali in terms of finances. That would definitely make them break down …
At this moment, there was a commotion below. Fergos gestured for everyone to quiet down before continuing to introduce the rules. "Every contestant in the Astral Genius Battle only has one life. Once they die, the battle will end. You can earn one point for every ordinary contestant you kill. Heaven's Chosen Ones, 100 points. You can earn points by killing others. The more you kill, the more points you get. If you are killed by others, half of your points will go to the other party. The remaining points will be erased.
"When there are only ten teams left, the battle will end. The ranking will be based on the total points obtained by each member of the team."
Crazy. Every Astral Genius Battle was crazy!
With so many people fighting in a map, they also had to be careful of sneak attacks from others. In such a competition, they had to be 120% vigilant at all times.
And because of this point system, even the weakest person in the team was not willing to die as cannon fodder.
Because dying was equivalent to giving points to others.
"The Astral Genius Battle is quite fierce." Hong Dali touched his nose and mumbled. "It's going to be another crazy killing spree."
"Only ten teams remain out of a hundred." Gu Feifei excitedly licked her lips. "This time, we can kill to our heart's content. Let's see who's blind enough to come and seek death. Hehe."
Only ten out of a hundred teams would make everyone fight crazily. That would be a world of blood and corpses.
It would definitely be crazy.
…
"Look carefully, all of you." The patriarchs of the various clans had already brought their most talented people to watch the battle. "This is an extremely rare opportunity. Every expert who makes a move will allow you to learn an incomparably valuable experience! Especially every minute, the rankings will be updated. The higher the ranking, the stronger they are!
"Especially those young geniuses from our Shenglong Astral. If they perform well, everyone must remember to not provoke them unless it's absolutely necessary! Because that kind of person will very likely become an incredible big shot in the future! "
The mentors of the various Astral realms were also lecturing. "Everyone, perform well and be extremely careful! Because you are the future elites of our Astral realm, the true geniuses. You are the future pillars of our Astral realm! "
"I hope that all of you can give your best performance and return victorious!"
All the students were extremely excited.
"Go." The mentor waved his hand. "I hope that everyone can gain a lot!"
"For the glory of our Astral realm!"
All the students shouted loudly. Then, with a "swoosh", all the participants disappeared.
The first stage of the Astral Genius Battle officially began!
…
In the virtual world, in a newly created scene.
This was not a very big city, with an area of about a dozen square kilometers. There were mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees. Everything looked similar to the cities on Earth.
When he was teleporting, Hong Dali felt his vision blur. After a white light flashed, he could finally see his surroundings clearly.
His current location was a rather spacious house.
An ordinary living room with a sofa, a projector TV, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Looking out the window, this was a small villa area. There were about eight or nine villas around him, all of the same style.
"Quite an interesting environment. Are we fighting here?" Hong Dali looked around, then looked at the projector TV. "Can I watch this TV?"
Just as he was thinking about this, Tang Muxin's voice came from downstairs. "Dali, where are you? Come out and gather! "
