Chapter 67 The Arena Tournament Begins

On July 17, 2066, Earth time, the arena battle was held as scheduled.

In the virtual universe, a specially created dimensional space, a vast and boundless river flows, with islands dotting the river that runs through the entire space, and each island has a fighting arena.

The venue for this arena battle is a series of fighting arenas that are tens of kilometers long and wide.

Unlike the preliminary rounds, the preliminary rounds within the Qianwu Universe alone had over 800 billion participants, so the Virtual Universe Company did not broadcast them. Ordinary people could only see the final rankings and promotional videos edited by the Virtual Universe Company.

During the arena battles, you can directly purchase arena tickets to watch the live stream.

In the Qianwu competition area, the arena battles are divided into a total of one thousand groups!

Two hundred groups compete each day for a total of five days. The first day's competition consists of groups 1 through 200.

Among the four Earth members, Shen Mu, as the number one in the world region, directly obtained the final spot and was directly guaranteed a place in the final battle of the entire universe.

Of the other three, Hong was assigned to group 107, Lei Shen to group 591, and Luo Feng to group 873.

At this moment, on the magnificent arena of Island No. 4396.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

A sweet and clear voice echoed throughout the arena. In the center of the arena stood a scantily clad and sexy Mengbei girl, who was the host of this match.

"The upcoming event will be the 107th group battle in the arena. Let me introduce the one hundred genius masters in this 107th group."

"The first one is Hong, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. He was ranked 304th in the final points of the 72nd World Region. If it weren't for the accident on the last day of the qualifiers, he would have been in the top 100 of that world region."

"flood!"

"flood!"

"flood!"

In the Heilongshan area of ​​the stands, millions of spectators from the Heilongshan star system shouted loudly to cheer on Hong Zhuang!

The upper level of the audience seating area features rows of VIP rooms.

In one of the VIP rooms, Shen Mu, Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and others saw Hong taking the stage.

Thor chuckled and said, "Looks like Big Brother has it in the bag this time. None of the other contestants in the same round of the arena have crossed the threshold of the Laws!"

Although there are a few experts in the ninth level of the realm who are stronger than Hong, it is basically impossible for them to eliminate Hong unless they are surrounded.

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "That's right. With Brother Hong's strength, getting through the melee phase shouldn't be a problem. At least he won't be eliminated directly."

The rules of the arena battle are divided into three stages: a free-for-all of 100 people, four rounds of advancement battles, and a loser's bracket points battle (revolving battle).

The arena battles selected 900 participants, who, along with the top-ranked contestants from 100 world regions in the preliminary rounds, will participate in the grand final battle across the entire universe.

In the chaotic battle phase, 100,000 participants will be divided into groups of 100 and fight each other on the arena. Only the last 10 people standing on the arena will advance, while the rest will be eliminated.

After the free-for-all, there will be four rounds of elimination matches. The 10,000 participants will be paired up and compete against each other in four rounds. The 625 participants who achieve four consecutive wins will advance directly to the next round.

The remaining 9,000-plus people will enter the losers' bracket for a three-year points battle. Each loser will fight against each other, and the winner will earn 1 point. The top 275 in total points will advance.

……

On the spacious fighting arena, Hong, who was the first to enter the arena, held a long spear and calmly looked at each of the contestants who entered the arena.

"Of these hundred people, the only ones we need to be wary of are those two opponents at the ninth level of the realm. In addition, there are a few at the eighth level of the realm who also require some attention."

Given Hong's expertise in the field of light, as long as he is not surrounded and attacked immediately, he will basically not face any crisis.

boom!

As the match began, a violent and dazzling burst of Force and psychic power erupted in the arena, terrifying air currents swept outwards, and layers of domains began to collide with each other.

The vast majority of all the geniuses who passed the preliminary rounds were experts in the sixth level of the martial arts realm, with only a few being geniuses in the seventh level or even higher.

The spear moved like lightning!

Hong's figure was like a ghost, swiftly attacking from behind and directly killing a genius expert.

After killing one person, Hong remained expressionless, his figure seemingly disappearing into the chaotic crowd, completely inconspicuous.

The long spear swung around like a giant snake, incredibly eerie, effortlessly deflecting one psychic weapon and attack after another.

As time passed, the death toll rose to 59, 60, 61... In a short time, only thirty-odd contestants remained in the arena.

This included several geniuses at the eighth or ninth level of their respective domains, including Hong, who tacitly refrained from attacking each other. Instead, they focused their attention on opponents at the sixth or seventh level of their respective domains.

Among these people, Hong, who was only at the eighth level of the domain, had an attack whose power subtly surpassed that of the two ninth-level domain experts.

The melee in the arena was extremely fierce. In less than ten minutes, 90 geniuses were eliminated, while 10 geniuses, including Hong, successfully advanced!

Of the 10 people who advanced, only five had not yet reached the eighth level of their cultivation.

"flood!"

"Hong Wudi!"

A fierce cheer erupted from the billion spectators at the arena, especially those from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, who were almost frantic with their shouts.

Inside the VIP room, Luo Feng's eyes gleamed with a hint of fervor: "Everyone's cheering for Brother Hong, Senior Brother, Second Brother, did you all hear that?"

A smile appeared on Shen Mu's face as he said, "It seems that elder brother is not far from crossing the threshold of the laws."

Hong has always had excellent comprehension, but unfortunately, he is limited by the garbage-like aptitude of Earthlings for the laws, making it extremely difficult for him to even sense the fluctuations of the laws.

But as long as Hong can sense the fluctuations of the laws, crossing the threshold of the laws is only a matter of time.

Thor was happy for Hong, but also felt immense pressure.

In the month following the end of the qualifiers, Thor lived up to expectations and broke through to the seventh level of the realm, but whether he could advance still depended on luck.

Of the two hundred melee matches on the first day of the arena battles, 107 have already taken place.

Of the 107 groups of contestants who advanced, only two were lucky enough to reach the sixth level of the domain. Almost every advanced expert possessed the seventh level of the domain, and more than 600 of them reached the eighth level.

"Let's go celebrate Big Brother's successful advancement." Shen Mu stood up and patted Luo Feng and Thor beside him.

……

The third day of the arena battles, the day will feature matches between groups 401 and 600, and Thor will also be competing today.

Compared to Hong's good luck, Thor was rather unlucky. In this competition, there were two members of the Qianwu Secret Realm, both of whom were powerful individuals who had crossed the threshold of the Origin Law.

However, these two members of the Qianwu Secret Realm did not deliberately target anyone; instead, they joined forces with everyone to carry out a annihilation.

Therefore, the other participants had no choice but to join forces to resist, but they were a disorganized mob with no coordination and even occasional backstabbing.

Within just six or seven minutes, the two experts on the laws of the universe had reduced the number of contestants to only a dozen or so. For these remaining contestants to advance, it depended on how long they could withstand the pursuit of the two experts.

Thor's greatest strength happens to be his movement skills. His signature move, "Lightning Flash," which is based on quick and agile movement, is the same as the Realm Lord's signature move.

Thor ultimately beat the others and advanced.
