The night's opening battle ended at midnight.
Not every battle was as fast as Li Xiang and Ise Shizuko. Some battles even lasted for a few hours. The participants from both sides fought back and forth, trying their best to advance further.
This passion for victory was the main reason why the final ranking competition was broadcasted to the world.
The people watching the screen not only cheered for this feast, but also felt their blood boil for the young boys and girls fighting.
After a night's opening battle, only half of the two hundred and forty people were left standing in the sky. The rest of the losers would instantly fall to the ground with the light pillar.
Their revival competition and ranking competition had always been held underground, echoing the main competition in the sky. There was a deeper meaning behind it.
And from the next day onwards, the competition would be even more intense. On the second day, the winners would all have to face three tough battles.
After sunset, the 15 winners would be decided.
He originally thought that the officials would use this opportunity to advertise and delay the competition to gain the most benefits. But now it seemed that Li Xiang's vision was too small.
The real officials didn't care about this small amount of money at all.
They only wanted to use the final ranking competition to awaken the hearts of the players that were sleeping in the hearts of the people.
After all, no matter how advanced the education system was, how many young people were encouraged to cultivate, the rate of players being produced was still too low. It was far from being able to compare to the consumption during the war against the Disaster faction.
This was also one of the reasons why Duke Siluo had been so persistent in developing mechanical biological weapons for so many years.
Returning to the resting room, Li Xiang soaked his feet while thinking about the previous match. His hands didn't stop scrolling through the information on his communication device.
The participants of the final ranking competition weren't allowed to have any contact with the outside world during the competition. But they could single-handedly scroll through the forums like he did.
Most of the content on the world board was still something he couldn't understand. He could only see information about the final ranking competition in the corners. It could be seen that this so-called feast for humans was only limited to the lower level humans.
There weren't many waves on the players' level.
But when he narrowed it down to the lower level, there were more posts about it.
Especially in Polar night's internal forum, Baimiya, Li Xiang, and Ji Yanqing were all touted as strong contenders for the best graduates of this year's Polar night.
Normally, after a batch of graduates had been in the Polar night for a year, the most outstanding graduate would be judged based on their personal combat ability, their position in the Polar night, and their contributions. The most outstanding graduate would be received by the highest commander of the Polar night, the mysterious Polar night sorcerer.
He Yi had already died in this group of ten. Of the remaining nine, the three of them were the most popular, followed by Ming Xu.
The reason why Ming Xu had such a large group of supporters was because of her outstanding performance in the Serpent's Assassination Department. She had participated in several large-scale assassination activities as soon as she joined the department and displayed her amazing talent and strength. To be honest, they were very curious as to why Ming Xu did not make it to the top ten this time.
After all, the previous graduates of Polar night were actually most optimistic about Ming Xu.
Li Xiang read ten lines at a glance and suddenly found a hidden post at the top of the pinned post. He was a super member, so he had the privilege to view it.
[Announcement of the execution of Polar night's tenth graduate, He Yi]
This post prohibited replies and comments. The person who posted it was Yin Hu, one of the twelve Masters of Polar night, who was in charge of punishment.
Serpent was the Master of Polar night, who was in charge of logistics.
Li Xiang immediately clicked on it. His super member privilege allowed him to browse freely, but as soon as he clicked on it, a steam box popped up.
[Your browsing behavior will be recorded and transmitted to the poster.]
"Isn't this a scam?" Li Xiang had already clicked on it and could not back out. He could only bite the bullet and continue browsing, hoping that Yin Hu would not come looking for him because of this.
[The tenth graduate, He Yi, violated the Polar night discipline during the Ultimate Trial. Rule 1, "Polar night people are strictly prohibited from killing each other for no reason." Rule 3, "Polar night people are strictly prohibited from associating with anti-human organizations." Rule 10, "Polar night people are strictly prohibited from turning into disasters or mutants." The Polar night's punishment department has decided to sentence He Yi to exile at the border, never to return to Polar night for the rest of his life. As he was killed by fellow Polar night graduate, Li Xiang, this sentence will no longer be enforced. A request for sanctions against the He family will be made in the form of a public prosecution. As for Li Xiang's verdict, it will be notified after the Ultimate Trial.]
Yin Hu, one of the twelve masters of Polar night, was in charge of punishment. Judging from the tone of his announcement, the subsequent verdict would not be negative. Otherwise, Master Night Shadow would have notified him in advance.
They had always kept the Polar night discipline in mind. From the first day they joined the Polar night training camp, they were required to memorize it, but in reality, not many people really cared about it.
After all, there were not many rules that could be broken.
However, they did not expect that once they broke the discipline, there would immediately be an announcement of punishment.
"The He family is really at the end of their road this time." Li Xiang sighed deeply. He Yi and the He family had gone through who knew what, desperately trying to climb to the top. In the end, they had even chosen to rely on the tarot cards and work for them to obtain the position of a super family.
Just as He Yi had said, if he had completed the mission in the Ultimate Trial, even if the Polar night punished He Yi and made a public prosecution to the Katashafi Committee, someone would definitely step in to protect them.
But now, when the tree fell, the monkeys would scatter.
Just his one battle had caused so many things to happen like a butterfly effect. He had even toppled an entire family. It was obvious that this world was just as he had said. There were no absolute enemies, only absolute benefits.
And in this kind of world, the people of Polar night were still able to maintain their original intentions. It was obvious how precious they were, and how powerful the Polar night Magi behind them were.
When he thought of this, Li Xiang remembered that He Yi had another mission besides fighting for the Origin Form crystal, which was to obtain the dark creature's horn.
Speaking of which, even Baimiya did not know much about the existence of dark creatures. She only knew that there were many mutants there, but she did not know that they would be teleported to dark creatures. It was obvious that He Yi's information source was on a higher level than hers. Just thinking about it made her scalp go numb.
The mastermind behind this was at least a member of the Bai family. Since he had ruined their plans, he was afraid that he would be put on the must-kill list again. He had not even entered the university yet, but his enemies were already increasing.
"The dark creature's horn is one of the rare materials for spatial teleportation magic. Previously, they attacked the airship fleet and plundered a large amount of resources. This is not the usual style of tarot cards." Li Xiang frowned. The creator of tarot cards, "The Fool", was a mysterious man known as "Boss". He only liked rare antiques and collectibles, but he would occasionally send his subordinates to plunder such resources.
Internally, it was jokingly called "the autumn wind".
Usually, it was to prepare for something big.
And now, there was only one big thing that he could think of, and that was the starry sky turbulence that would attract the attention of many in two years.
This news had spread widely since the starry sky vortex three years ago. Countless forces were looking for information about it. Many of the people around him were victims of the starry sky vortex three years ago. Although they did not know what the starry sky turbulence was, it was definitely a rare natural disaster for the Night Shadow to pay so much attention to it.
Should he start preparing for this as well?
"I'm one of the few people who know this secret. If I start preparing now, I might be able to get a share of the loot behind the big shots." Li Xiang thought for a while and searched for the starry sky turbulence in his communication device.
Unfortunately, even with his identity as a super member, he could not get more information. He only got the most basic introduction.
[Starry sky turbulence: A rare large-scale natural disaster, once in a hundred years.]
It seemed like someone had started to block the related information. Then, he could only obtain it through other channels.
He thought of Wang Bo. He would send him a message when he was done here.
At this moment, his communication device beeped. There was an unfamiliar friend request that was suddenly pinned to the top.
He was very familiar with the other party's profile picture. It was Ye Tong whom he had not seen for a few months!
.....
City 0001 main city, Kazekage Izakaya.
In a certain private room.
There was a small mahogany table on the tatami. There were various kinds of sushi, fish sashimi and other delicacies on it. There was a female singer kneeling outside the door. She was singing softly. Accompanied by the flow of water beside her, there was a unique flavor.
A man and a woman in kimono sat facing each other at the mahogany table. The girl lowered her head and maintained a humble posture. It was Ise Shizuko who fought Li Xiang in the stone circle.
She was wearing a bright red kimono, and her delicate feet were placed under her hips. She quietly listened to the man's scolding, and when he raised his glass, she immediately poured the sake into his glass.
"Shizuko! You really don't know any better! Our Ise family was almost destroyed after the last holy war. If it was not for the first lady's help, you would not even be able to complete the most basic ninja studies! The marriage with the Yakumo family was originally a stupid idea that those idiots in the family came up with because they didn't want to be subordinate to the first lady. Did you really take it seriously? "
The man's face was red. He took a big sip of the sake and continued scolding, "The Yakumo family is not one of the top families in the first district of the continent. Even if we marry them, the benefits we get are very limited. The Ise family has invested all their resources in you. You have to sell at the best price, understand?! "
When she heard "the best price", Ise Shizuko subconsciously clenched her fists, but her head was still lowered.
"Yes!"
"You are so stupid, Shizuko! You've really disappointed me! Yakumo Ruler is dead. You don't have to care about the face of the Yakumo family. After this battle, the Yakumo family will fall into the hands of Ai Yakumo. What can a woman like you do in there? "
"But father, I have already … Chi Jun is my husband."
"You haven't married him yet, have you? Even if you are a widow, the Ise family can find a way to send you to a better family. You don't have to be the first wife. In the big families of the continent, some of them have second wives and concubines. There are many choices. "
The man burped and pushed a thick file to her. "This is the list of all the choices I have made. Although marrying you is a stupid way for those old fogeys to revitalize the family and get rid of the first lady, it is also a good way to show their loyalty to the first lady. These young masters all have close relationships with the Dong Ling family. Many of them are favored by the First Lady and have been invited to the Dong Ling family's external plan. As long as we are with them, we will be able to gain the First Lady's favor. "
"Father! What, what are you doing? We are the Ise family. We are just a vassal of the first lady. You are selling the family out, aren't you? "
"Slap!"
A heavy slap landed on her face.
"Asshole, idiot, idiot!" The man stood up and cursed with a glass of wine in his hand. "What are you talking about? The Ise Clan was already gone. After the last Holy War, this clan was completely finished. What we need to do now is to continue the family's bloodline. I am the last son of the Yi Clan, and you are the last woman. If you want to continue the bloodline, you have to marry an even more outstanding man and have more children. We need money, money, money. What's the point of having a family's reputation? "
"Pick one and give me an answer tomorrow. I will report it to the first lady."
The man swung his sleeves, picked up the singer outside, and walked further into the room.
Ise Shizuko clenched her fists, dark red blood slowly flowed out. She gently flipped through the information and saw the person she didn't want to see the most in the last row.
[Li Xiang, recommended by the first lady.]
Below his photo, there was a short recommendation.
He had rejected the Dong Ling family plan. He had placed second in the final trial of the continent's first district. He had graduated from the Polar night school and was one of the executors of the He family's clean-up plan!
