Chapter 23: The Brutal Reality of the Qualifying Rounds

the line. 。"Bang" 。Boom 。With every clash of their weapons, space would be annihilated in a small area. The shockwaves would ripple outwards, causing disturbances even billions of miles away. 。By th...On the vast expanse of land, tens of thousands of grids have been delineated, each measuring twenty meters by twenty meters. 。Xu Jingming and over ten thousand experts, each standing in the center of their grid. 。"Huh" Xu Jingming could see that his grid was surrounded by a semi-transparent barrier, preventing the players from interfering with each other. 。The qualifiers will be held in two rounds. 。“A thundering voice echoed across the vast expanse, “The first round, you will face arrows! They will appear from behind the barrier and shoot towards your heads! The speed of the arrows will increase, and anyone shot will be eliminated! First round, begin!”

Xu Jingming saw at a glance that on the semi-transparent barrier, a semi-transparent arrow suddenly condensed, then whooshed towards his head 。

"It's so slow" 。Xu Jingming was looking at... 。This arrow, ten meters away from me! Its flight speed is estimated to be just one hundred meters per second, too slow. 。。Even if this slow arrow hit my face, it wouldn't even pierce through my facial muscles. 。Xu Jingming was very clear about the formidable power of a Planetary Life's complete body, but he wouldn't foolishly face it head-on. With a single step, his speed surpassed that of the arrow! The arrow drifted lazily past him. 。With Xu Jingming's nerve reaction speed, watching a hundred-meter-per-second arrow was like an un-evolved human watching ants crawl - it was simply too slow. 。An arrow traveling at one hundred meters per second, even if fired from ten meters away, wouldn't pose a threat to anyone on the field, let alone Xu Jingming. 。Li Miaomiao also dodged out of the way. 。

"Whoosh" 。The second translucent arrow condensed faster, and its flight speed also increased. 。Time passes by every second. 。The arrows were coming faster and faster, without any pattern. Many of them came from behind us. 。“Old Master Xu had already removed his light armor. Since the arrows were all aimed at the head, wearing armor was useless and would only hinder speed and agility.” 。There is always only one arrow at a time!

But it can appear from all directions: in front, above, behind, even appearing and shooting immediately! And the speed is getting faster and faster. 。No way > 。In the heat of battle, Yang Qingshuo grew increasingly strained. Facing the onslaught of five assassins, he struggled to defend himself. But as if from nowhere, three more assassins appeared, bringing the total to eight... Some were skilled with hidden weapons, others wielded heavy armor, and still others were masters of assassination. They swarmed Yang Qingshuo, engulfing him in an instant. 。Only 103 people remained on the field, and with time still ticking away, even the top "experts" from China like Xiong Tianshan and Gao Chong fell one after another. 。"We have to hold on, hold on."

Li Wenshu held the gossip double axes, her movements were ghostly, and she fought hard to kill her enemies. 。Only by killing a lot can the enemy's numbers be reduced. 。But the appearing assassins are getting stronger! At least they're all at the intermediate level of the fourth order, and there are many of them. Their cooperation poses a huge threat. 。"Bang Bang" 。Two assassins wielding shields rammed into Li Wenxiu, disrupting his movements. Meanwhile, two other assassins launched hidden weapons, forcing Li Wenxiu to dodge precariously. Three more assassins closed in for the kill!

Li Wenxiu's Bagua Double Halberds slashed across the necks of two assassins, but a sharp pain pierced his chest! A spear had driven itself through his torso. 。"No—"Li Wenxiu was very unwilling, but her body still turned into a phantom. 。The moment he was eliminated, the number changed from 93 to 92. At this time, the weakest person who was still persisting was at the peak of the fourth rank!

“Li Wenxiu!”

“No—"

“How is that possible”

Countless people in Shinra Kingdom covered their heads, watching this scene in disbelief. 。The strongest fighter from Silla, who also lasted the longest in the preliminary rounds, has finally fallen. He's still quite far from the top 32. 。Amongst the world's top experts, many get stuck at the fourth-order limit. At this point, the competition boils down to practical combat ability! Even with the same 'fourth-order limit', different individuals demonstrate varying levels of skill and power. 。"Now there are only one hundred people left, and our Sakura country has only Miyako Kawakami and Touichi Kiyori"

"These thirty-two spots, the competition is too cruel." 。People all over the world are very nervous. 。e quality of my own explosion is very high and the speed is very fast.'" 。But during combat… I feel like the power doesn't fully erupt. 。This involves other courses. 。"For example, when transmitting p...
