"This year's Continental Battle will be different from the previous ones. The rules have been changed, and the first test will be known as the test of physical strength. Now, the Continental Battle will officially begin."
An official representing the six continents of the Human Alliance spoke in a rather concise manner. He didn't waste any words and announced the official start of the Continental Battle.
However, the majority of the people below, including Li Yunmu, went into an uproar. For a moment, everyone was in a hubbub, and all sorts of astonished expressions could be seen on their faces. However, there were also a few people who seemed to have expected this.
Before the large group of people had stepped onto the Black Dragon Island, many of them had realized that the rules of this year's Continental Battle had changed greatly.
But only after the official announcement did they discover that it wasn't just a big change, it was a complete change. This wasn't the Continental Battle at all.
In the past, the Continental Battle, as the name implied, was a great battle between fluxers from all over the world. The main purpose of this competition was to determine the top ten most powerful fluxers from all over the world.
The previous ten most powerful people of Heavenly Cloud City were actually the titles created by the Continental Battle. The ten most powerful people of a capital city, then the ten most powerful people of a king city, and then the ten most powerful people of the Central Continent. Only then would they have the qualifications to represent the Central Continent and participate in the Continental Battle together with the ten most powerful people of the other five continents.
Finally, after a series of battles, the ten strongest people in the entire universe would be decided, and these ten people would be crowned with the supreme glory of being one of the ten strongest people in the universe. Of course, the Human Alliance would also promise a large amount of rewards and resources for them.
This was the true meaning of the Continental Battle in the past. Its goal was to nurture the top ten most powerful fluxers for the six continents.
But now, the rules had changed greatly, and it couldn't even be described as' changed 'anymore. Only now did people discover that apart from the name of the Continental Battle, everything else had lost its original meaning and flavor.
When the Alliance official announced the latest rules, the entire Black Dragon Island was shocked. The people who were watching the broadcast through the Star Web's various platforms were in disbelief.
However, the officials of this Continental Battle were unprecedentedly powerful and didn't allow for any opposition. Even if the others were unwilling and didn't agree with the change in the rules, they could only silently accept it.
Because even if it was an idiot, as long as they looked at the group of people who made the rules, they would know that it was impossible to change.
More than twenty quasi deities and more than a hundred Sages had appeared on the Black Dragon Island. All the outstanding heroes of the six continents had gathered here. Everyone was clear that the reason the rules of the Continental Battle had changed so much was probably due to the heavenly changes on Earth.
"Next, among all fluxers, as long as they have cleared the seventieth level of the Tower of Glory, they will automatically obtain the qualification to enter the Tower of Glory. The first test will begin now." After everyone had some time to adjust, the Alliance officials immediately announced the start of the first segment of the Continental Battle.
Those fluxers who believed themselves to be very formidable but hadn't cleared the seventieth level of the Tower of Glory didn't have the slightest chance.
Then he waved his hand.
In the next moment, a huge energy barrier suddenly rose from the ground below the platform. This energy barrier was like a huge bowl that covered the ground, covering the entire area. It was about a hundred meters in diameter.
Then, two teams of the Alliance quickly ran in and built two small portals on the left and right sides of the energy shield with great efficiency. The entire process was completed in less than fifteen minutes.
"Next, in no order of ranking, every person who automatically qualifies will be transferred into the energy field and immediately undergo the first test of corporeal combat strength. This energy field will suppress all the flux energy in the fluxer's body. Thus, you can only rely on your own corporeal combat strength to survive."
"Next will be an extremely dangerous test. You have one minute to consider whether you want to participate or not. Once you enter the energy barrier, your life and death will be up to fate. You can only rely on yourself."
"Sixty seconds, thirty seconds, ten seconds, nine, eight, seven, two, one, begin. The first person to enter is Gu Tiancheng, a disciple of White Shark Sect from one of the three great ocean cities, Enormous Whale City. Please enter the energy barrier within thirty seconds. If you don't enter the energy barrier within thirty seconds, you will automatically be disqualified from the Continental Battle."
The three great ocean cities of the seagod's people came from the Southern Ocean Continent. However, the social structure of the seagod's people was very different from that of other continents.
This was because most of the people living in the Southern Ocean Continent were ordinary people. Only fluxers who had awakened flux energy would be allowed to settle in the three great ocean cities established at the bottom of the sea.
Thus, the people of the Nanyang Continent had always regarded the three sea cities as the holy cities of the Sea God's people. When they reported their origins, they would never mention the Nanyang Continent. Instead, they would directly report which sea city they were from.
Thus, when people heard that the first person was from one of the three great ocean cities, they were certain that this Gu Tiancheng was an evolved human from the Southern Ocean Continent — a seagod's person.
Soon, an enormous countdown screen appeared on the platform. Thirty seconds were quickly ticking away.
At this instant, regardless of whether it was the fluxers on the island or the people watching the live broadcast from all over the world, all of them were worried about Gu Tiancheng.
This unlucky Gu Tiancheng was the first person to be chosen, so his luck was undoubtedly very bad. Up until now, no one knew the rules of the test, the specific details, or what the test was about.
Moreover, a part of the battle strength of the seagod's people depended on the sea beasts summoned by them. Now that the energy barrier suppressed the use of flux energy, what battle strength did the seagod's people have?
Gu Tiancheng was very hesitant. Suddenly, he walked out of the Whale City's White Shark Gate and asked in a loud voice, "Can the sea beasts summoned by the seagod's people be used in the energy barrier?"
"Yes, this is a dimensional power and isn't restricted by flux energy. But if the sea beasts you summon don't possess the ability to fight on land, then they are just trash. You have thirteen seconds to consider." The Alliance representative quickly resolved this question.
"I choose to give up." Until the last few seconds, Gu Tiancheng chose to give up in the midst of an uproar.
"F * ck, this isn't fair. This is simply a disaster for the seagod's fluxers. I object."
