"I don't think my third uncle will be able to see through these little tricks. He must really value Ye Tong since he's willing to let her do whatever she wants. Well, whatever. As long as she's doing well, that's all that matters. "Li Xiang put down his communicator. He had a whole day to prepare after making it to the top 16.
The next day, there would be a revival round. Those who were eliminated in the qualifier round would fight for the last spot. Some of them weren't weak; they were just unlucky.
At the very least, those who were eliminated by Li Xiang weren't weak. Perhaps one of them would be able to make it to the top 16.
When he woke up the next day, the ten million Blue Astral Coins from the Subcontinent Life Group had arrived.
Twenty million Blue Astral Coins in two days. For the first time, he felt that making money wasn't difficult at all. Before this, he was still troubled by the fact that he owed Dong Ling's maid 800,000 Blue Astral Coins. Now, he finally understood why a maid could erase his 800,000 Blue Astral Coins debt so easily.
In the eyes of these big organizations, money was just a number.
Source gas was only used as a hard currency for low-level magic users. High-level magic users already used Source liquid.
One drop of Source liquid was 100,000 Blue Astral Coins. A tube of Source liquid had at least 100 drops, which equaled to ten million Blue Astral Coins. And that was only the most basic unit of measurement.
"The gap between the rich and the poor is really big." All Li Xiang had at the moment was twenty million Blue Astral Coins. Wang Bo said that the Scarlet Moon would provide him with ten million Blue Astral Coins a month when he entered university.
This treatment was already better than what the children of ordinary families received. It could be said that the problem of resources that he was worried about wasn't urgent, at least in the early stages of university.
Since there was no competition, Li Xiang rested for a while. After breakfast, he began to focus on cultivation.
He also brought some Source Particle Spring Water with him to try to materialize the Yellow Organ Magic Circuit.
There were six Magic Circuits, some of which were good and some of which were bad. This was especially true for those Magic Circuits that weren't very talented. Materializing them required a lot of time and resources. If one's cultivation talent wasn't good enough, they might end up like Wang Zhongyue, who couldn't materialize a single Magic Circuit even after four years in university.
Entering university didn't mean that it was safe.
It was the same for player universities.
Generally, a university could enroll more than 10,000 students in a year, and one-tenth of them might not be able to instantiate any magic circuit. After graduation, they would be transferred to the military or even lower level organizations to serve.
Those who didn't do well would at most get an official position in a small place like Hou City. It wouldn't be a problem for their family to enter the middle class and become nobles in the eyes of the commoners, but that was it.
There were layers upon layers of social classes in the world. The higher ones could scare people to death, while the lower ones could not even live like humans.
In his previous life, Li Xiang had pursued a middle-class life. But now, he had an even grander goal.
After becoming a player, one person would be an aristocratic family.
He could also watch other people's matches like the spectators. However, for the revival round, the remaining two hundred and twenty-five people would first go through a free-for-all battle to determine sixty-four people before proceeding to the semi-finals.
In such a chaotic battle, unless one could switch to a specific perspective, the densely packed crowd and battle would only dazzle one's eyes. One would not be able to tell who was who and where.
Switching to a different perspective would cost one hundred thousand Blue Astral Coins for ten minutes, which was not something that the average person could afford.
Three people had made it to the Top 15. Even though it was just the beginning of the trial, the first zone of the Subcontinent District had such explosive power. The other zones were nervous.
Li Xiang, Baimiya, and Zhe Yuan. Mu Fan, on the other hand, had been eliminated.
If it weren't for Li Xiang, Mu Fan and Ji Yanqing might have made it to the Top 15. Out of the twenty-four zones, on average, no one would make it to the Top 15. However, five people had made it to the first zone. Was this really the end of the trial?
This time, the Subcontinent District had taken up five spots, as did the Continent. The other five continents shared the remaining five spots.
The free-for-all battle finally came to an end when Li Xiang went for dinner in the afternoon. To everyone's surprise, Mu Fan had failed to make it to the Top 15.
He didn't see Ji Yanqing and Mu Fan until he was called over by Felix.
First, it was Ji Xianqing. She was fine, her injuries were not particularly serious, but her face was a little pale. She sat on a chair, and a nurse beside her was busy bandaging her wounds. When she saw Li Xiang and Felix walking over, she forced a smile.
"I won't go back to that wormhole again," Ji Yanqing said half-jokingly, trying to lighten the mood.
Li Xiang saw that she wanted to eat an apple. He went over to help her peel it. "What happened? I thought it was an avatar? How come you're injured? "
"No, the resurrection round is a real battle." Felix shook his head. "Since we've already lost the chance, we have to pay the price. Those who don't have the courage have already left. I heard that there were a lot of casualties and the Referees Committee is under great pressure. They're discussing whether or not to use avatars in the upcoming resurrection round. "
"But this is too unfair to the trial takers who died for this." Ji Yanqing said casually, "Most of those who died were from the Subcontinent District. Three were killed in Zone 1 as well."
"How come …" Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to the free-for-all. He took a quick glance and focused on his cultivation. By the time he woke up, it was already over. He wouldn't have known how serious the situation was if Felix hadn't come over for dinner.
"Yes, we'll tolerate it as much as possible. You have to be prepared to die at any moment. Although the seven continents are on the same side, we've never stopped fighting among ourselves. It's normal for some to die in the resurrection round. But this time, the Continent District has gone too far. They've dug a hole and are waiting for you to jump into it. "As the Executive, Felix wouldn't take sides.
He briefly explained to Li Xiang that the Subcontinent District and the Continent District had never been on good terms with each other because of the feud between the two kings. The Dong Ling Family was the most obvious. The one who took the lead in targeting the participants of the Subcontinent District in the resurrection round was the No. 1 seed of the Dong Ling Family, Dong Ling Dong Ling Ogheim from the Dong Ling Family.
The fact that Fenix had the surname of one of his parents in the Dong Ling Family and that even the Dong Ling Family, which valued the purity of bloodlines, thought highly of a mixed-blood descendant. That was how terrifying Fenix was.
Just like the Bai Family, the Dong Ling Family didn't have any particularly talented descendant participating in the resurrection round. Fenix was one of the best among the participants from the Dong Ling Family.
He had made a name for himself in Zone 1 of the Continent District due to his murderous nature. The Dong Ling Family also had the intention to train him, so he had become more and more famous.
Fenix was the champion of Zone 1 of the Continent District and the official ranking was expected to be number one as well. However, he had lost in the first round and was sent to the resurrection round.
Looking back, Fenix had done it on purpose. He was going to kill the participants of the Subcontinent District in the resurrection round.
The trial takers of the Subcontinent continent were caught off guard by the presence of such a killer. Before they could organize themselves, the Subcontinent continent's trial takers had slaughtered many of them.
If it weren't for Ji Yanqing and Mu Fan, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The participants of the two sides were at loggerheads. The conflict had spread to the cities and forces supporting the Subcontinent District. Even Felix had to step in to mediate.
"Did that Fenix hurt you?" Li Xiang frowned. He had to be a tough guy to be able to hurt Ji Yanqing.
"Yes. Mu Fan is still lying in there. I don't know if he can survive." Ji Yanqing sat on a chair with one of her long legs propped up against the bar. The nurse next to her covered her body nervously so that no one could see her naked body.
Ji Yanqing, who had always been gentle, was wearing such a murderous look. It seemed that Fenix had suffered a great loss.
"You'd better go inside and have a look. That guy isn't as bad as he was in the ultimate trial." Ji Yanqing gestured with her lips.
After Felios agreed, Li Xiang walked into the inner room.
The room was filled with a strange smell of medicine. There were many repair cabins on both sides filled with dark green liquid. Many dying participants were soaked in them.
Mu Fan's repair cabin was in the innermost part. He was still awake. There was a huge wound on his naked body. His organs, flesh, blood, and veins could be seen clearly. There was also a faint black gas around the wound, preventing the body from healing itself.
"I'm sorry you had to see that …" Mu Fan moved his lips weakly.
Li Xiang shook his head. He had heard from Ji Yanqing what had happened. If Mu Fan hadn't taken the lead, Fenix wouldn't have targeted him. That being said, Mu Fan had saved many participants of the Subcontinent.
He hated internal strife the most. Even in the eyes of the big shots, that was a part of training.
But training? Why couldn't he train himself against the mutants and the calamities?
Dying that way would be more worthwhile than dying in the hands of his own people.
"You're Li Xiang?" A deep voice came from behind him.
Li Xiang turned around. Someone had been standing behind him for a long time and he hadn't noticed at all!
The man was wearing a military uniform. He was tall and had a star on his epaulet — Major General.
"Yes, General Mu Li." Li Xiang wasn't stupid. The man nodded to him. After a long while, he turned to his son in the repair cabin.
"Teach that Fenix a lesson. I'll take care of Owl and the others for you."
