BXBX NOVEL Chapter 485 - 485: The Points Contest Begins!
The Taishi Star Network exploded.
This was the top 10000 in the entire cosmic!
Seeing Wang Ye’s ranking rise step by step until he finally squeezed into the top 10000, the cosmic humans felt that it was only natural, but they were also shocked.
“I really watched him walk up step by step!”
“Wang Ye is amazing! He’s not only the light of Taishi Starfield now. He’s the glory of all cosmic nation starfields!”
“I’m so lucky to be able to witness this miracle. 1 can brag about it to my great-great-great-grandson in the future!”
“Top 10000! Looking at the history of the genius selection battles, there are only a handful of them from the cosmic nation starfields!”
“Even if he’s eliminated in the first round, this is a record that we can be proud of for the rest of our lives!”
Taishi Starfield was not the only one in an uproar.
Right now, the entire human virtual cosmic was starting to pay attention to this cosmic nation brat that had suddenly appeared.
After all, Wang Ye was the only talent from a cosmic nation starfield in the top 100,000. He had even entered the top 10000!
This was unbelievable since he was competing against the 6.24 million contestants from the ten great eternal nations.
“This year’s competition is really full of unexpected surprises. It’s one thing for the starfield empires to have two dark horses, but there’s actually a good seedling in the cosmic nation starfields too?”
“He also appeared in the second stage. Looking at his points, he should have passed all the challenges below the Undying-level challenge spaces. He’s really good at fighting!”
“Let’s continue watching. If he can maintain this ranking in the second half of the competition, then he’s truly strong.”
“That’s a little difficult. The second half of the competition is the Points Contest. Other than strength, strategy is also very important. No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn’t look smart.”
“Red River Cosmic Nation, Wang Ye?” Dongheng Wanyi flipped through the Cosmic Stairway Board with great interest.
He wanted to see if there were any other dark horses from the starfield empires other than Piao Baibai and Wen Rou. He did not expect a black donkey to appear.
“This is great.” Dongheng Wanyi smiled. “It’s always been the ten eternal nations fighting each other. How boring. The top 10000 aren’t too much of a threat. He’s not as good as those two, but… It would be interesting if his ranking goes up.”
Dongheng Wanyi returned to the top 100.
The points were very close.
The experts were advancing together.
“None of us have reached our limits yet. I need to make a choice later.”
Dongheng Wanyi was also waiting for the second half of the competition to begin. He would first see what the arena of the third stage was before deciding.
The main reason was that it took a long time to recover. If the physical body or energy consumption was high, it might take 1 to 2 cosmic days. If he was heavily injured, he might need 3 to 5 cosmic days. Things like talent, bloodline, special treasures, and so on could only be used once.
Therefore, many participants were still preserving their strength.
“But if the goal is first place, I must either reach the top of the Cosmic Stairway Tower or complete the challenge space.” Dongheng Wanyi was assessing his strength.
Would he be able to get the additional 100 million points?
“Challenge Space No.20 requires the peak Undying Lifeforms of the Sky race and Dark race to be killed…” Dongheng Wanyi shook his head.
He might be able to kill the peak Undying Lifeforms of the devil race and demon race, but the Sky and Dark races were beyond his power.
“I have enough HP. I should be able to figure out some of the battle patterns of the Sky and Dark race experts and crack them. The Cosmic Stairway Tower doesn’t require as much combat prowess as the challenge space, but it’s more complicated. It requires extraordinary group battle and protracted battle abilities, as well as tyrannical willpower and the ability to break through the situation…”
Dongheng Wanyi scratched his head.
The difficulty of reaching the summit was no less than the challenge space.
He wasn’t confident in either of them. He could only choose one to try as he didn’t have enough HP or recovery time.
“What if I don’t pass any of them, but the other contestants do? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?” Dongheng Wanyi was a little troubled.
If he were to divide his energy evenly between the two cosmic stairways, the gains would not make up for the losses. Regardless of whether it was the Cosmic Stairway Tower or the challenge space, the further one went, the higher the points would be!
Wang Ye was very calm.
Whether it was the Cosmic Stairway Tower or the challenge space, he could continue to go deeper.
He had been fighting steadily in the early stages, allowing him to conserve his strength and increase his points as much as possible. He had also saved his HP.
Soon, he would have 3 HP.
“I have a 95% chance to take down the sixteenth to eighteenth levels of the Cosmic Stairway Tower, which will give me 24000 points, but it will also take me about 1 to 4 cosmic days.”
“As for Challenge space No.11,1 have a 75% chance of taking it down. The Sky race and Dark race experts will each give me 50000 points. But with my current strength, I will need to use up a lot of energy and treasures, as well as 2 to 5 cosmic days to recover.”
Wang Ye knew his abilities like the back of his hand.
The talent of Immortality could recover dark power, energy, and injuries. However, it couldn’t restore his internal world, the four beast totem poles, the white origin of thunder, the blue origin of lightning, the devilish blade’s energy, and so on. In high-level battles, these were very important.
For example, challenge space No.11 would require him to fight against the Undying Lifeforms of the Sky race and the Dark race.
Even if the opponent was at the first degree of the Undying level, it was bound to be a fierce battle.
“With my current combat prowess, 1 can take down an inferior Undying Lifeform with 2 HP without using the Great Ape Bloodburn Spell. If I use the Great Ape Bloodburn Spell and unleash my full power, I can fight against a fourth-degree Undying Lifeform.”
This was his upper limit.
“The talent fledglings are really brave.” Wang Ye looked at Wen Rou and Chi Xuan.
The two were locked in a battle and had already reached Challenge Space No.15.
In terms of combat prowess alone, they were definitely top-tier in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament.
However, the further one went into the challenge space, the more points one would lose.
For example, the two challenge spaces numbered 14 had a total of 400,000 points, but Wen Rou had only gotten 320,000 points.
Chi Xuan was even lower, only a little over 300,000.
Even for the first-tier experts in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, it was not easy to take down a medium Undying Lifeform.
“The Cosmic Stairway Tower is more stable. Coupled with fighting the challenge spaces I can, in the long run, it should be the best way to obtain points. However, the current challenge space has better points.”
Wang Ye watched as the second stage began its countdown.
The new Cosmic Stairway Board had been released.
[1] Xuanxu Eternal Nation, Qing Xuan: 1,250,684
[2] Xuanxu Eternal Nation, Qing Yu: 1242523
[3] Dongheng Eternal Nation, Dongheng Wanyi: 1098123.
[4] Yunzhou Eternal Nation, Xian Yuyan: 1098120.
[5] Elio Empire, Piao Baibai: 1,098,055
[9] Starcluster Empire, Wen Rou: 1082466
[10J Beimo Cosmic Nation, Feng Ying: 1081902.
The points were very close. The gap between them was not wide.
Compared to the first stage, the top ten had undergone a huge change.
Qing Xuan and Qing Yu were very fierce!
Dongheng Wanyi managed to overtake Xian Yuyan. Their current progress was the same. Cosmic Stairway Tower 27th level and challenge space N0.13.
This proved that Dongheng Wanyi’s performance in the challenge space was even better than Xian Yuyan’s.
Qing Xuan and Qing Yu, who were ranked in the top two, seemed to be stronger in this aspect. Currently, they had already taken down challenge space N0.14, so they were leading by a large margin.
However, the most eye-catching performances in this segment were undoubtedly the participants from the two starfield empires.
Needless to say, the Starcluster Empire’s Wen Rou went from being out of the top 100,000 to being in the top 10!
Elio Empire’s Piao Baibai was exceptionally stable. Not only did he remain in the top ten, but he was also following closely behind Dongheng Wan Yi and Xian Yuyan. The three of them had the same progress.
“They are all monsters.” Wang Ye was a little excited.
Competing with these monsters could stimulate his potential even more. Being inferior now did not mean that he could not catch up in the future.
“Continue to fight steadily and increase my ranking.” Wang Ye was calm and collected.
The first round of the first half ended.
Swoosh!
The Cosmic Stairway Board changed once again.
A large number of participants at the bottom of the rankings were eliminated.
[Remaining participants: 880,000.]
Nearly two-thirds of the participants were eliminated!
At this point, almost 90% of the 7.17 million participants had been eliminated in the first stage. The elimination rate was the highest in all the previous genius selection battles!
But Wang Ye didn’t care about that.
That was because the second half of the competition, the Points Contest, had already begun!
The virtual screen refreshed.
[Red River Cosmic Nation: Wang Ye]
[Points: 135008]
[HP: 3]
[Rank: 9832]
[Advancement Rule: At the end of the 27th cosmic day, be ranked within
300,000 on the Cosmic Stairway Board.]
“Two-thirds will be eliminated in each stage.” Wang Ye sighed.
It was rather cruel.
One round was equivalent to the elimination rate of the previous two rounds.
“In the second half of the competition, there is no fixed advancement rule.” Wang Ye looked at the current 300,000-place on the Cosmic Stairway Board.
[Points: 96720]
He only had less than 40,000 points more than the other party.
Normally speaking, it was not easy to surpass him.
After all, the Cosmic Stairway Tower and the challenge space had a huge threshold. Everyone’s strength was fixed. If they couldn’t pass, they wouldn’t.
However, the second half of the competition was a Points Contest. The variables were huge!
Wang Ye’s consciousness landed on the third door of the cosmic stairway, which was currently open.
The arena was very similar to the arena in the Infinite World of Slaughter.
“A matching system.” Wang Ye looked at the rules.
I HP for 10 arena tickets.
Victory would not cost any tickets but defeat would cost one ticket.
The battles in the arena were ivi, with the participants at their peak.
The matching rules were also different from normal matches. They were matched by betting points.
If two participants bet the same amount of points, they would be matched. The closer the betting points were, the shorter the time needed for two to be matched.
“That is to say, if both Xian Yuyan and I bet 520 points, we will be matched immediately. If she bets 520 and 1 bet 521, a few seconds are given. If no other contestants bet 520 or 521, then we will still match. If she bets 520 and 1 bet 582, we’ll probably have to wait a few dozen seconds. During this period, whoever bets the same number of points as us will break us up.”
Wang Ye instantly understood.
The appearance of the arena, coupled with the advancement rules, would cause all the points to be concentrated on the top 300,000 competitors.
The top 10 and top too experts had millions of points. They were not afraid of any changes.
However, his advantage could be ruined at any time. He could fall out of the 300,000 in minutes.
“The Cosmic Stairway Board in the third stage will surely be a reign of terror.” Wang Ye wasn’t nervous. Instead, he was looking forward to it.
Big ups and downs!
Come! He loved going up and down!
Although he might be eliminated, he might also earn a large sum of points. Danger and opportunity coexisted.
“Let’s do thirteen rounds in a row!” Wang Ye smiled..
