Those who reincarnate must die.

With over two hundred contestants but only one hundred boxes, more than half were destined to fail. (Google search reading)

As box after box was found, the remaining contestants grew increasingly anxious. In the chaos, many were attacked by sea monsters, while others attempted to steal the spoils of others, leading to fights among the contestants. In a short time, injuries and even deaths occurred frequently!

"Dying on the first test? How did they even get through the trial mission?" The leader of the twenty-second altar, a short, fat man, complained.

"After all, the rules are too broad..." A petite woman, the leader of the twenty-three altars, chuckled. "The sea monsters are secondary; internal strife is the most deadly... Compared to them, these few are much smarter!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the screen she was focusing on. On the screen, several reincarnators were cooperating with each other. They were Yue Xinyi, Ye Peng, Fang Tianhua, Liu Xingwei, Qin Jie, Michiko, Da Kui, and Wang Defa.

Upon seeing the rules, Wang Defa anticipated the possibility of internal strife and immediately proposed cooperation.

The rules of this mission are that as long as the treasure chest is brought to the surface, the mission is considered successful. Successful reincarnators are not allowed to return to the water to prevent them from hoarding more treasure chests or interfering with the competition of other reincarnators.

Therefore, in order to cooperate better, the eight people were divided into two groups. One group went out to find treasure chests and brought them back together. The other group was responsible for guarding the treasure chests they found. After they had at least eight chests, they would bring them up together to complete the mission.

Those responsible for staying behind were Qin Jie, Liu Xingwei, Wang Defa, and Le Xinyi. Qin Jie used a barrier technique, combined with Le Xinyi's wind magic, to create a shelter in a hidden underwater location, isolating it from seawater and storing air. Although the air was limited, it was enough to sustain them until the mission was completed.

The remaining Michiko, Ye Peng, Da Kui, and Fang Tianhua were responsible for collecting treasure chests. Fang Tianhua's enhancement included a multi-functional vehicle that could be used for underwater operations. Ye Peng had an enhancement that allowed him to breathe underwater. Da Kui himself had strong attributes and was very good at underwater combat. With the addition of Michiko's puppet, the four of them cooperated quite well and had considerable combat power.

With the eight of them working together, they found the treasure chests one by one and quickly met the requirements.

"A very clever approach..." Rowe nodded at Altar Number Four, "but it's too boring. I don't want someone like that!"

"Hmph, they might not even want to go!" the landlady at Altar Number Five scoffed.

"Damn woman!" Luo Wei gritted his teeth, but suddenly noticed that Ning Yi at Altar No. 3 was observing a guy wearing black power armor.

"Hunter?" On the screen, each contestant's name and various stats are displayed next to them: "Sixth place? Not bad, but looks like he's not very good at underwater combat, his performance is just average... Why are you focusing on him instead of your precious son?"

Ning Yi glanced at him: "Yu'er has already passed the test. I'm just taking a look."

It must be said that Zhang Lang's performance was indeed quite mediocre.

Due to its own weight, plus the weight of the powered armor, it sank to the bottom as soon as it entered the sea. The Night Armor is a diving armor, which is relatively light and thin, and its power is not very strong. Although it can swim, it consumes a lot of energy. In the end, Zhang Lang chose to walk on the seabed.

So the judges saw that while everyone else was using various technologies to swim and fly around on the seabed, this guy in all black, like an astronaut landing on the moon, was slowly jumping around on the seabed, seemingly in no hurry at all.

He wasn't in a hurry at all. In Zhang Lang's view, it didn't matter which altar he entered, as long as he could enter the planar battlefield and kill the alien races, that would be enough. So he wasn't in a rush to show anything and just let things take their course.

However, his slow movements did not affect his senses. Zhang Lang's wood attribute was greatly enhanced, and his senses were so sharp that they were beyond human comprehension. He could see the dark seabed clearly, and he could even feel the faintest water flow through his armor.

With his exceptional senses, he actually found a hidden treasure chest.

Powered by the Black Night Armor, Zhang Lang pulled the treasure chest out of the mud and sand and slowly swam upwards.

He had just swum halfway when a dark figure appeared above him and blocked his way. It was a reincarnator holding a harpoon and wearing a diving suit.

Give me the box!

The reincarnator held a harpoon gun in one hand and gestured with the other.

"Here you are!" Ning Yi, who had been watching Zhang Lang closely, smirked slightly. "Reincarnator Assassin, show me your strength. Let me see just how powerful you are now that you've received your advancement rewards!"

Ning Yi zoomed in on the image. In the image, Zhang Lang glanced at his opponent's harpoon gun, then at the treasure chest he was dragging, and then, quite sensibly, let go...

"What?!" Ning Yi's eyes widened. "He actually compromised? That guy who could kill over seven hundred wanted criminals and even go toe-to-toe with Luo Wei actually compromised?"

Ning Yi rubbed his eyes. In the video, the opponent, seeing Zhang Lang drop the treasure chest, immediately gave chase, while Zhang Lang swam away as if nothing had happened…

"Something's not right... What exactly does this guy mean?"

Ning Yi was completely baffled, but in the end, after all the boxes had been retrieved, the hunter returned to the altar empty-handed without any reward.

Several seeded players have shown impressive performances and have gained favor from multiple altars, except for Zhang Lang...

This guy's unambitious demeanor caused the hero judges, who were initially interested in him because of his ranking, to lose interest halfway through. Some even suspected that he might be a super-rich second-generation heir, and that those twenty-nine enhancements were all bought from other people, the ones that those people didn't want.

Not only the judges, but also contestants like Ning Chengyu who knew him were puzzled by his mediocre performance. They approached him to ask what happened, but received no answers.

Only Le Xinyi and Ye Peng know that Zhang Lang is still troubled by the "curse".

To make a long story short, after an hour of rest, the reincarnators were all in top condition, and the judges began to decide on the assessment items for the second round.

After a round of voting, the contest received the most votes, with a total of thirteen votes!

Since the arena competition doesn't require a specific world as a stage and can be held in this plaza, the rules can be entirely determined by the judging panel. After discussion, Ning Yi was chosen as the representative of the judges to explain the rules to all the reincarnators:

"No matter the circumstances, combat power is always the most important thing for reincarnators... and in our daily missions, apart from very special situations, the most stringent requirement is a level zero weapon restriction. Therefore, the second round of assessment will be a level zero restriction advancement competition!"

"The qualifying rounds are divided into two stages: the semi-finals and the finals. In the semi-finals, the venue is divided into eight smaller arenas. The top eight players on the current leaderboard will each enter one of the eight arenas as the reigning champions. Other players can choose any arena to challenge. The winners will continue to serve as the reigning champions until no one challenges them. The remaining eight reigning champions will advance to the finals."

"Each contestant, including the reigning champion, has only one chance to challenge. After each battle, the contestant will receive treatment to be in full condition for the next match."

"The finals will be an elimination round, with eight teams advancing to four, then four to two, and finally a champion will be determined. We will make a judgment based on your scores and performance."

After Ning Yi finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the first altar, as if to confirm whether Zeus had anything to add.

Zeus stepped forward: "During the battle, I hope everyone remembers that having reached Hero level, we are all comrades-in-arms fighting against foreign invaders! Comrades should help and care for each other, not fight to the death. Therefore, I hope this competition will be conducted with restraint, and that no one is killed!"

After saying that, he stepped back, signaling to the contestants that they could begin to prepare.

"The qualifying rounds?" the players murmured. "There are about two hundred people in total, how many matches will that be?"

"Oh dear, battles between reincarnators are usually decided in about a minute."

"That's slow enough..."

"What, are you in a hurry?"

As they discussed it, they began preparing suitable weapons and equipment.

Level zero restrictions mean you can basically only carry melee weapons, with a few exceptions like pistols. In short, there won't be any outrageous weapons; the main test is your basic combat skills.

To become a hero, one's basic combat strength must be at least not weak, if not exceptionally strong. Their attributes are far superior to those of ordinary people, so most players are quite confident.

Besides Zhang Lang...
