What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 599 Rules, Storm

Looking at the projection of the Daoist Canon catalog, and facing this entity that supposedly records all the immortal techniques in the world, every student present revealed a look of longing in their eyes.

As the Heavenly Evolution God finished speaking, images were projected before everyone's eyes, explaining the rules of the first match.

The first thing that appeared in the projection was the floating continent beneath their feet.

As beams of light flowed, the light, symbolizing 100 students, was projected across the continent.

Dao Qiankun's eyes flickered: "Will the 100 contestants be randomly deployed to various locations on the floating continent?"

"So this is a team competition?" Wen Wuyai's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "We can freely use the spirit world and all communication technologies. The Sky-Patrolling Flying Sword can still be used, but we can no longer communicate with people outside the competition area... This is perfect for me to perform."

As more rules emerged, the floating continent in the projection seemed to be engulfed in fierce battle, constantly shaking and trembling.

Ye Xingli's eyes flashed as she quickly photographed and saved the rules, thinking to herself, "This team competition will last for three days, and the final outcome will be determined by the number of prisoners captured by each school?"

Yan Qianji smiled slightly: "Hehe, just defeating the opponent is useless, you have to capture the opponent, right? At the moment the competition ends, the more prisoners you capture, the more points you score, and you can also rescue prisoners. So the key to the competition is the word 'capture'?"

Standing to the side, Jiu Tianliu calmly thought to himself, "The score ranking at the end of this team competition will determine the qualifying spots and the number of players in the second match."

"The school team ranked first will have 10 qualifying spots. The school team ranked last will only have 1 qualifying spot, which means that only one person out of 10 players can be selected to participate in the next game."

Jiutianliu made a judgment in his mind: "The result of this match will have a great impact on the subsequent matches. The higher the ranking, the more students can be selected to participate in the next match. And to win, we need to quickly reunite with our teammates and allies from other schools."

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and thought to himself, "This team competition, as both sides continue to gather and band together, will probably eventually evolve into... a great battle between two major alliances led by Wanfa and Tianmo respectively."

Looking at one of the rules, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Especially the rule that allows killing opponents during the competition, without being eliminated for killing an opponent, and without having to pay spirit coins as compensation."

"Moreover, many people should have the money to be resurrected, and some schools can even pay for resurrection."

"That means even if someone dies in battle, as long as they have enough value, they can be resurrected and selected for the next round... to participate in the next match."

Upon reading this, Zhang Yu seemed to be able to imagine just how brutal the final battle would be.

On the other side, within the Tianmo University team, Kuang Tianqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw the last part of the rules: "Tch, does that mean a player can only bring one prisoner with them when moving at the same time?"

"So even if I defeat them all, I can only capture one as a prisoner at a time... Hmph, are they trying to restrict me?"

At the same time, countless plants, materials, minerals, monsters, and even spiritual veins fell from the sky onto the projected floating continent, spreading to various parts of the continent, forming a complete ecological and natural environment.

Anzhen Zhenjun thought to himself, "With all kinds of resources readily available, plus three days of competition time, there is enough time for each profession to give full play to their strengths. In other words, it is also important to know how to use the resources on the floating continent to increase one's combat power during these three days."

Then, looking at the vast resources on the floating continent, Anzhen Zhenjun couldn't help but think, "The company that took on the construction of this competition venue is really making a killing."

After the details and rules of the first match were announced, a 5-minute countdown immediately appeared in front of everyone.

Five minutes later, 100 students from the ten universities present will be randomly dropped across the continent.

These five minutes are everyone's final preparation time.

Anzhen Zhenjun's eyes flashed, and he immediately said in the school team group: "After this match begins, you cannot communicate with the outside world, but the players on the field can communicate with each other, or you can use the school team group or the four-school alliance group for internal communication, which is fine."

Anzhen Zhenjun: Upon entering, you must first confirm your respective locations, then quickly communicate and determine the assembly point.
Anzhen Zhenjun: Do not linger in battles on the way, and do not fight alone. Regroup as quickly as possible; this is the key to the early stages of this battle...

Ye Xingli asked: What if we encounter people with Heavenly Sword, Vajra, and Immortal Soldiers on the road?
Anzhen Zhenjun: They can still be trusted. If it's on our way, we can travel with them.

Five minutes passed quickly as Anzhen Zhenjun and his students interacted.

In an instant, rays of light seemed to wrap around the students in the spirit realm.

From this moment on, they could no longer contact anyone outside the arena.

The next moment, as an invisible force acted on Zhang Yu, he felt his body soar into the sky, instantly transforming into a streak of light that shot towards a corner of the floating continent.

At the same time, a hundred streaks of light, like a hundred shooting stars, streaked across the sky and covered the entire continent.

"Senior sister is in that position..."

Zhang Yu's eyes quickly scanned the trails of light.

Although he could no longer clearly see the people inside the stream of light, they were all students of Wanfa University, and just moments before they were enveloped by the stream of light, they were standing together. This allowed Zhang Yu to remember who each of the streams of light around him represented.

"The Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Nine Heavens Flowing, the Thousand Machines... they're all a bit too far removed from my reality."

As he pondered, the ground below drew ever closer, and with a deafening roar, Zhang Yu crashed into a thicket of trees.

As branches and leaves fluttered, the immense force created gusts of wind, uprooting a large number of giant trees and carving out a clearing in the dense forest. From the crater, which resembled a meteorite impact, Zhang Yu's figure slowly floated up, a sword box over three meters tall following behind him.

In addition to the 24 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords, the sword box also contains other magical treasures such as the Golden Jade Disc, the Earth-Suppressing Seal, and spare Taiyi Golden Elixir Pills.

At the same time, messages appeared in the school team's group chat.

Dao Qiankun: Everyone, state your locations. I'll go to your center point, and you can all come find me together.
Jiutian Liu frowned as he looked at the data flashing wildly in his eyes and replied: "Unable to confirm geographical coordinates."
Beside Yan Qianji, Tian Ri Huangshen, accompanied by bursts of flames, sensed the surroundings. Then, his gaze flickered, and he said: "There is strong geomagnetic interference on this floating continent."
Yan Qianji: The entire continent may be shrouded in an array, making it impossible to pinpoint the location using conventional methods.

Dao Qiankun asked: Zhang Yu, is there a way?
Zhang Yu patted the sword box, and 24 Taihao Sacred Law flying swords soared into the sky, sweeping outwards in all directions from his figure as the center.

Zhang Yu: I still remember the map of the floating islands. It will probably take 1 to 2 hours to re-detect the baseline and rebuild the geographical model.
Dao Qiankun frowned and said, "You probably remember where you fell, right? Mark it on a map."
So everyone in the school team was given a map of the floating continent and marked their landing location on it.

Dao Qiankun finally marked the center point of the remaining nine people and said: You all head this way.

Dao Qiankun: I will wait for you here.
Dao Qiankun: Remember to keep a low profile. You can hide the spiritual projection above your heads and your Foundation Establishment domain.

Dao Qiankun: Don't get ambushed halfway there.
Then he posted another message in the four-school alliance group: Anyone who sees me and needs shelter can follow behind me.
After sending the message, Dao Qiankun looked in the direction of the target and then pointed to the sky.

"The wind is coming!"

The next moment, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky and spread rapidly at an incredible speed.

Gale-force winds, torrential rain, thunder, lightning... in the blink of an eye, a storm has formed.

Ten meters, one hundred meters, one thousand meters... one hundred kilometers!
The storm's influence quickly spread to a range of 100 kilometers.

Dao Qiankun, who was at the center of the storm, was like a god who controlled the celestial phenomena. Countless thunderbolts, lightning bolts, tornadoes and torrents were like subjects who submitted to him, transforming into dragon shapes and escorting him as he shot toward his target location.

A student from White Bone University watched this scene from afar, observing the figures faintly visible in the center of the meteorological disaster, and felt as if he could hear their voices amidst the exploding thunder.

Don't bother me!

The student from White Bone University stared at the towering characters projected from the spirit realm at the eye of the storm, and below them, the three large, flamboyant characters for Dao Qian Kun...

He swallowed hard and tiptoed away quickly, seemingly afraid to make any noise and let the other party notice his presence.

……

In the jungle, Zhang Yu's figure flashed rapidly, creating gusts of wind as he hurried towards the agreed location.

But just then, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky, and a chill suddenly enveloped Zhang Yu.

With a loud crack, Zhang Yu whirled around and struck out with his palm, colliding with the incoming figure.

Heavy shockwaves erupted from the point of impact, sweeping outwards in all directions and causing the surrounding trees to tremble violently.

Seeing the figure bursting out of the shockwave, Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened: "Heavenly Demon University?"

The man in front of them made no attempt to hide the projection of the spirit world above his head.

The name of Ying Yufan, ranked 7th in the entire Tianyao University and specializing in demons, has already caught Zhang Yu's eye.

Although the other party's appearance looked very similar to that of a human student, the tufts of feathers hidden in their hair still revealed their identity as a demon.

Zhang Yu knew that among the demon descendants, there was a group of superior bloodlines. It was said that the purer the bloodline, the more human-like they looked, and the fewer demon characteristics they possessed. Ying Yufan in front of him was clearly such a person.

Ying Yufan smiled slightly: "Zhang Yu from Wanfa University?"

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, sensing an undisguised malice in the other person's eyes.

Ying Yufan looked at the blinding red-purple projection above Zhang Yu's head and sneered, "Scum, you're the weakest of the ten from Wanfa University this time, right?"

"Then don't blame me for starting the hunt with you."

"After all, the law of the jungle prevails over the weak; that is the way of nature."

The next moment, Ying Yufan let out a wild laugh, and his flesh and blood suddenly expanded, transforming him from a human into a huge dragon. Then, with his five fingers spread, the dragon claw reached out to grab Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's heart sank; he had already recognized the technique the other party was using.

The military-grade Taoist technique of the Demon Department of Tianyao University—Tianyao Hundred Transformations Technique.
