Not long after Shen Liangyue arrived at the Central Arena, she received a communication from Ning Chengyu and others.

As some of the first contestants to arrive in the City of Competition, the Supernovas were taken to the Central Arena early on and assigned their own accommodations.

After noticing that Shen Liangyue had entered the communication range, the group immediately went to her room.

At first, they thought Shen Liangyue had gotten the tickets in cooperation with Ural, but after hearing Shen Liangyue recount her experiences, they were all very surprised.

"That Ural guy was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing?" Ning Chengyu's eyes widened in anger. "And we trusted him so much!"

"You're the only one I trust..." Old Wu sneered from the side, "I could tell at a glance he's no good!"

"In the context of the main world, wouldn't you call that hindsight advice?" Alicia mocked. "However, as a reincarnator, one shouldn't easily trust others."

"I've never been worried," Soros said, building a card tower. "According to the divination, Shen Liangyue will definitely pass smoothly."

Shen Liangyue nodded: "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, it's all thanks to that hunter..."

"So, Brother Hunter has already advanced?" Ning Chengyu looked at the badge. "Why isn't he within range?"

Shen Liangyue frowned as well: "That's really strange... He should have redeemed his ticket earlier than me..."

"Could it be that he didn't come to the Central Arena?" Zep guessed.

"Perhaps he hasn't even arrived in the City of Competition yet!" The card tower in front of Soros suddenly collapsed: "My divination indicates that the hunter's path to advancement is not going smoothly."

"Will things not go smoothly for him?" Ning Chengyu asked incredulously.

"What's so great about him?" Zep retorted. "That just means his five-star rating is probably a bit inflated!"

"Can we see more details?" Shen Liangyue asked with concern, "Why is he having difficulty advancing?"

Soros shook his head: "I do have the ability to predict accurately, but when it comes to his problem, I can only see the general outline; it's difficult to glean more detailed information... Whether that guy can advance is hard to say!"

…………

"Only a few hours left..." Inside the City of Creation, Zhang Lang looked at the time on the badge, not in a hurry.

He still held the nine star tokens in his hand, but had not exchanged them for a ticket.

Yes, he did take all the star tokens out of Ural's stomach, but apart from the ones he gave to Shen Liangyue, he casually discarded the rest. He himself never intended to exchange them for tickets from the beginning.

Because he had a vague idea about the mission in this first phase.

What first caught his attention was the advice given by the examiner from the Shen clan: never be eliminated.

According to the rules, the first phase of the mission is simply to collect star tokens, and killing each other is strictly prohibited. Environmental damage is also strictly limited. These rules essentially suppress the fighting spirit among the reincarnators to a minimum. Even if the mission fails, there's no death, so why the warning to absolutely not be eliminated?

That only means that the contestants eliminated in the first stage will not be kicked out of the mission directly, but will instead be put into a very dangerous situation!

What is this danger? Zhang Lang made a guess based on the number of stars.

Based on his observations and calculations, all 339 participants possess a total of 640 stars. Therefore, theoretically, 64 participants would advance to the second stage.

This number is somewhat subtle. According to his observation, the star cards do not disappear when contestants are eliminated. Therefore, it can be assumed that the altar wants all star cards to be used for advancement. Sixty-four people is the number of contestants the altar desires in the second round.

What does this number represent?

Zhang Lang found the answer in the GGs that could be seen everywhere in the City of Creation.

Promotional material for the World's Number One Fighting Tournament!

That's right, in the City of Creation, located directly below the City of Competition, news of the fighting tournament can be seen everywhere. Moreover, the tournament is scheduled to be held the day after the first phase of the mission ends, and the location is in the City of Competition... Is this really just a coincidence? It's practically telling the contestants that the second phase of the mission is this fighting tournament!

The key issue is that, according to Zhang Lang's observation, it seems that apart from him, all the other contestants have automatically ignored this crucial clue!

They ignored the advertisements for the fighting tournaments all over the streets and focused solely on finding the star badges.

Perception masking—this is an old trick used by the altar. Rather than directly modifying the mission world and deleting information about the fighting tournament, it's simpler to obscure the players' perception of this information. However, this cannot fool Zhang Lang, who possesses the ability to return to simplicity.

On the contrary, this deliberate cover-up made Zhang Lang even more certain about the mission in the second phase.

The fighting tournament has 64 participants, who will advance through six rounds of two-on-one battles.

The question then arises: what if the number of participants in the second phase is less than sixty-four?

After all, sixty-four people is only the theoretical maximum number of people who can advance; in reality, it is almost impossible to reach that number.

The missing personnel can only be selected from those who have been eliminated.

In other words, there will definitely be a revival match among the eliminated contestants!

Moreover, this revival round is extremely brutal; it's even possible that only the victors who emerge victorious will survive!

This kind of fighting is exactly what Zhang Lang likes!

Therefore, he waited patiently for the final moment.

With the ability of the Reincarnators to detect, Zhang Lang clearly saw that as the time limit approached, the contestants throughout the city became increasingly restless and took more and more frequent actions... However, as the stars became fewer and fewer, in the end, very few people were able to successfully exchange for tickets, and the vast majority of the points of light were helplessly left in the City of Creation, awaiting the final judgment.

As time ran out, all the contestants who failed to advance received a notification that they had failed the first stage of the mission. Immediately afterwards, flames ignited on their bodies, and they disappeared from the City of Creation.

But when the contestants came to their senses, they were surprised to find that they had not returned to the altar, but were in complete darkness.

Where are we? The contestants immediately became alert, but before their eyes could adjust to the darkness, a blinding light suddenly shone down from above.

Everyone then realized that this was a circular, sealed chamber with a diameter of over a hundred meters, surrounded by walls made of cast metal, making it exceptionally sturdy. All the defeated contestants were gathered here, including some who had been eliminated early due to violations.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, all of their badges received a new mission notification:

"Phase 1.5: All contestants who have not completed Phase 1 will engage in a free-for-all in one minute. The nine survivors will be added to Phase 2."

This task notification instantly put all the contestants on edge!

The contestants, who had been standing randomly, immediately spread out and sought out familiar allies to form alliances... Those without allies simply tried to hide in corners, trying to avoid being seen by others.

But the one-minute time limit was too short. As the countdown ended, everyone's badges signaled the start of the melee!
