THE SEVENTH BASE

Chapter 315: Chapter 9: The Transcendent Competition_2 Chapter 315: Chapter 9: The Transcendent Competition_2 They were all preparing for the Transcendents’ competition.

Amidst countless people’s anticipation,

the Chuanxing City Transcendents’ competition finally arrived.

On this day, in the Capital and the cities centered around it, numerous screens lit up simultaneously, displaying the intensely exciting battles from previous iterations of the Transcendents’ competition.

At the same time, as one of the public faces of this Transcendents’ competition, Ye Qingdie’s posters were observed by countless people, many of whom were somewhat astonished by her charisma and the perfect fit with the Transcendents’ competition.

The Transcendents’ competition would be broadcast live, centered around the Capital, with a staggering viewership reaching tens of billions.

Such magnitude could only be achieved by the annual Transcendents’ competition.

That’s why Stark said, if one can snag the first place or be among the top few in the Transcendents’ competition, the prize money is not so important anymore.

……

In the central district of the Capital’s Chuanxing City, there lies a massive battlefield, purpose-built for the annual Transcendents’ competition.

At this moment, this Transcendents’ Arena resembled a miniature Abandoned City, with urban ruins inside, collapsed shattered skyscrapers, steel rods and concrete – it hardly resembled an Arena.

This was the first day’s map for the Transcendents’ competition: Abandoned City.

A man-made map, which could be altered at will.

This Abandoned City was recessed into the ground, and surrounding the City, above it, stood the live audience stands.

At this moment, countless people were steadily entering, finding their seats, and looking down at the ‘Abandoned City’ battlefield below.

Because the map was so large and the distance too far, it was very blurry to the naked eye, but there were special glasses equipped on the seats, which could bring the action closer and clarify the situation on the battlefield.

Though the live broadcast could be seen in every corner of the city, the audience still enjoyed the on-site atmosphere, eager to watch the battles up close, to personally experience the spectacular showdowns of the Transcendents’ competition.

Through the glasses equipment, they could immerse themselves in the scene as if they were entering the battlefield—an experience completely different from watching the live broadcast on the outside.

At that time, countless lights lit up within the Abandoned City, illuminating different positions inside of it.

The next moment, the Abandoned City shook as, from underground, many cubic blocks rose straight up into the air, appearing at different positions, each block with a fully armed figure standing on top of it.

The entire Abandoned City was artificial and incredibly intelligent, capable of switching at any moment.

There were hundreds of these figures.

Preliminary round, free-for-all combat.

With so many participants in the Transcendents’ competition, it was necessary to eliminate the vast majority in the preliminary round.

From hundreds to ten, this battlefield could only allow ten people to advance to the next round; it was extremely brutal.

That’s why Hera said, even in the preliminary round, without sufficient strength, one would still be eliminated.

In this group of hundreds, most might be there just to experience the battle of the Transcendents, but there would also be some elites among them; as for who they would match against, it was all down to luck.

Xu Mo, along with his group of five, also stood among the crowd, on one of the nearby blocks.

They had drawn the very first fight of the preliminary round.

Was this good luck or bad?

If a team of five registered together, they could ensure not being split up, but if there were more than five, they would be scattered – such were the rules of the Transcendents’ competition.

Hence, the Stark Group’s team consisted of five members.

The hundreds assessed each other in the air; the teams had participants of all sorts, equipped in a wide variety of gear.

Xu Mo and his team were wearing gear marked with the Stark Group insignia, which was quite prominent.

Similarly, other competitors’ gear also bore distinctive marks, like those from the Extraordinary Academy participants.

Beams of light shone on them, allowing the audience and those watching the live broadcast to see the competitors more clearly.

At that moment, the lights fell on a particular location, and the on-site stands erupted with deafening cheers, resounding over the skies of the Abandoned City.

Xu Mo looked towards that direction; participants from the Capital Royal Academy.

“So unlucky?”

Many cursed inwardly, having encountered the elite team from the Capital Royal Academy in the first round.

They too had five members and could potentially lock in five spots right away, meaning the others could only vie for the remaining five spots.

The cheers persisted for a long time, casting a tinge of surprise on many faces.

“`

What’s going on?

They looked closely and then they saw a face from the Capital Royal Academy, which made many people’s looks even uglier.

It’s Li Kaiyun.

Li Kaiyun had entered the top ranks in the previous tournament, and this time he was generally considered to be at least in the top twenty, with a chance to break into the top ten of the Transcendent competition.

He had shown up in their first round.

Disaster.

Even some elite figures were very serious, with Li Kaiyun present, the five-person team from the Capital Royal Academy was definitely going to secure all five spots.

Xu Mo also noticed Li Kaiyun, the genius who had been shot down by him at the Capital Royal Academy that day.

Hearing the cheering around him, he realized that the other party seemed quite famous?

After all, Xu Mo didn’t recognize Li Kaiyun.

The popularity of the Capital Royal Academy was extremely high, as it was the number one educational institution on Byron Star.

Li Kaiyun’s group had also noticed Xu Mo.

Were they representing Stark Group?

“Stark Hao is arrogant and overbearing at the academy.

His friend forced his way in, so let them not even pass the preliminaries,” someone beside Li Kaiyun said softly, eyeing Xu Mo’s group.

Li Kaiyun didn’t say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed.

Their five-person team, all B+ grade elites, were basically playing in the preliminaries with coordination like theirs.

There was no real competition, and whoever they wanted out would be out.

“The people from the Capital Royal Academy seem to have an issue with us?” Su Rou said, looking towards Xu Mo.

“Yes, there’s a bit of a grudge,” Xu Mo replied.

Then they saw one of the people beside Li Kaiyun stretch out a pinky finger towards where Xu Mo and his group were, the pinky pointing downwards.

Instantly, there was an uproar in the surrounding stands.

This just got interesting.

The people from the Capital Royal Academy were provoking the representative team of Stark Group.

It seemed that the Stark Group’s delegation was about to experience a tragedy.

In one area of the stands, a group of people sat side by side.

Xiao Qi, Ying, Sun Xiaoxiao, and Benjamin were all present, having agreed to meet there.

“This arrogant?” Xiao Qi was shocked.

Wearing glasses, he could clearly see the gesture made by the Capital Royal Academy towards Xu Mo’s group, and whispers spread around, suggesting that the Stark Group would meet its end in the preliminaries.

“Brother Xu Mo, beat them,” Sun Xiaoxiao said, somewhat angrily.

“Being targeted by Li Kaiyun’s group, Stark Group is likely to be completely wiped out,” someone nearby commented.

Xiao Qi looked back at them and spoke, “Is there a possibility that the Capital Royal Academy’s team won’t pass the preliminaries?”

As soon as he said that, the people around looked at him as if he was an idiot.

It was possible that the Capital Royal Academy’s representatives might not pass the preliminaries, but that would be the lesser experienced students.

This team, led by Li Kaiyun, not making it through the preliminaries?

Xiao Qi couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and looked down.

At this moment, countless people in Chuanxing City were looking at their screens, the atmosphere abuzz.

The first battle of the preliminaries featured Li Kaiyun leading the Capital Royal Academy.

ƝονǤ0.сᴑ

They seemed invincible on this battlefield.

Apart from the Capital Royal Academy, they also spotted the team from Galaxy Academy.

Although Galaxy Academy wasn’t as renowned as the Capital Royal Academy, it was still one of the top five Transcendent academies in Chuanxing City, with strong capabilities.

They were very likely to contest the other five spots.

Of course, there was also the representative team of Stark Group.

It was unclear how strong they were, but in past Transcendent competitions, Stark Group always sent elite fighters with strong Combat Power who generally made it past the preliminaries and even into the top one hundred.

But this time, it seemed the representative team of the Capital Royal Academy took issue with them.

So, the Stark Group’s representative team was highly likely to be completely eliminated in the first match of the preliminaries, which could create history, couldn’t it?

At this moment, Stark also looked puzzled.

Unfortunately, he was right; Xu Mo and his team were indeed being targeted by the Capital Royal Academy!
