One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Wang Ye was yawning with his hands in his sleeve pockets.

Hearing this, he glanced at Zhang Chulan sideways, his tone full of disdain:

"Old Zhang, can you rein in your bully mentality from Longhu Mountain?"

"You expect them to draw a circle on the ground and then make you wrestle, with whoever steps out of the circle losing?"

Zhuge Qing, standing nearby, swiftly opened his folding fan, fanned himself with great flair twice, and then casually delivered a finishing blow:

"Old Zhang, you're usually so shrewd, how come your brain goes blank at crucial moments?"

"They just said it themselves: no regard for life or death, no questions asked. How could this kind of competition be limited to just the ring?"

"If a ring were actually set up, it would probably be overturned in no time."

Zhang Chulan rolled his eyes at their sarcastic remarks.

"So where do you suggest we fight? You don't expect us to fight each other right here on the red carpet, do you?"

Feng Baobao, who had been squatting silently to the side, suddenly stood up at this moment.

She patted her stomach, poured the last crumbs into her mouth, and pointed expressionlessly to the top of her head.

"Don't fight here."

Feng Baobao blinked her big eyes twice: "Something fell down from above."

"What?"

Zhang Chulan was taken aback and looked up at the top of his head following Feng Baobao's finger.

In that very instant.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A violent roar suddenly came from above the stadium's dome!

The sound was so loud that it even drowned out the on-site sound system!

Followed by.

Above this massive, supposedly fully enclosed stadium.

The expensive dome slowly cracked open to both sides!

A fresh breeze, mixed with the piercing sound of propellers, suddenly rushed into the venue.

"I go!"

All eyes turned to the skylight.

All that could be seen was the open dome.

More than twenty large, all-black transport helicopters hovered directly above the venue!

The enormous rotors whipped up a fierce wind.

The wind sent the neatly arranged red carpets and fruit platters flying everywhere in the air.

Just as everyone was stunned by the Hollywood blockbuster-level spectacle,

On the main stage, Takeda was not affected by the strong wind; on the contrary, he opened his arms wide and seemed to enjoy it.

His voice, amidst the roar of the helicopter, carried an almost frenzied, inflammatory quality:

"Warriors!"

"This is just your starting point!"

Takeda pointed to the twenty-odd helicopters overhead, which looked like dark clouds looming over him, and roared:

"Now! Please board the plane immediately according to your respective team numbers!"

"We will take you to the most brutal and beautiful natural hunting grounds in the world!"

"The real arena is in that lawless land where there is no law and no mercy!"

Takeda's smile appeared somewhat distorted under the searchlight.

He announced the name, word by word, that sent everyone's adrenaline soaring:

"Welcome to..."

"Paradise Island!!!"

Chapter 335 The Cruel Game of Closed-Loop Hunting

The wind howled.

More than twenty black heavy transport helicopters hovered above the giant stadium.

The huge propeller churned up the airflow.

"All national teams, please board the plane immediately!"

Takeda's voice, transmitted through a loudspeaker, remained clear and piercing despite the wind noise.

"Let's go, you little brats."

Zhang Tianyi didn't even look up. He casually stuffed the half-eaten bag of sunflower seeds into his pocket and led the Chinese team towards the hanging boarding ladder with leisurely steps.

"This is quite a spectacle; the Japanese really know how to spend money!"

While protecting his hairstyle, Zhang Chulan nimbly climbed the rope ladder.

Wang Ye followed behind, covering his ears which were stinging from the wind, and couldn't help but complain:

"Old Zhang, when are you going to stop worrying like this? Why are you so upset about other people spending money?"

The group moved swiftly and quickly climbed into the cabin of a helicopter bearing the Chinese national flag.

The cabin interior is extremely spacious.

Two rows of seats are placed facing each other, and there is even a fixed metal square table in the middle.

As soon as everyone sat down...

"Buzz!!"

The helicopter suddenly took off.

Accompanied by a strong sense of acceleration, it flew directly into the vast ocean depths beyond Tokyo Bay.

The cabin was very quiet, with surprisingly good sound insulation.

Just as Zhang Chulan was about to ask what kind of place this "Paradise Island" was,

In the center of the metal square table, a holographic projection screen suddenly lit up.

Takeda's face, bearing a formulaic smile, appeared in the center of the screen.

"Congratulations to all the elite participants for passing the first round of preliminary screening and successfully boarding the flight to the competition venue."

Takeda pushed up his glasses, his eyes revealing a cold, condescending look.

"Before arriving at our destination, as the organizer, I have an obligation to explain in detail the core rules of this 'International Youth Extraordinary Person Exchange Competition'."

Upon hearing the word "rules".

Wang Ye, who had been dozing off in his chair, suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhang Lingyu and Chen Duo also sat up straight.

"The venue for this competition is located on a completely sealed-off uninhabited island, which we call Paradise Island."

Takeda snapped his fingers.

The screen switched to a 3D model of a huge island with an extremely complex topography.

"Don't be fooled by its name. There are no angels there, only devils."

"To ensure absolute fairness in the competition, the organizing committee has adopted the most brutal competition format this time—the Ouroboros Ring!"

"The Ring of Ouroboros?" Zhang Chulan pinched his chin, his eyes darting around. His intuition told him that this name was full of traps.

On the screen, Takeda continued to explain unhurriedly:

"A total of sixteen national teams are participating in this competition. Before the competition begins, these sixteen teams will be randomly shuffled in the system backend and arranged into a perfect closed circle."

"Team A hunts Team B, Team B hunts Team C, and so on... until Team P, in turn, hunts Team A!"

“Before you land on the island, each team will receive a special divine token and a ‘divine forbidden bracelet’ for location tracking.”

"The bracelet will only display the code name of your team's 'Prey Country' and their approximate location."

"You have absolutely no idea who the 'natural enemy' country ranked ahead of you is!"

Hearing this...

The faces of the young people in the cabin all changed.

"What a vicious rule!"

Wang Ye gasped, his mind racing:

"Isn't this just a battle royale game where everything is a blind box? You're chasing others in the open, while they're watching the back of your head in the shadows!"

Takeda seemed very satisfied with this reaction; his smile deepened on the screen.

“Since it’s a hunt, there must be rules for hunting.”

"First, you can only attack the countries of your prey and seize the divine relics they possess."

"Second, if you are attacked by an unidentified group, you are allowed to fight back."

"but!"

Takeda's tone suddenly became more serious, carrying a strong warning:

"If you actively attack non-prey targets in order to reduce competition."

"Then you will immediately suffer the backlash from the rules of the Paradise Island's divine barrier!"

"At best, you'll be injured or crippled; at worst, you'll be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes on the spot, eliminated immediately!"

"I rely on!"
