Chapter 2002
"0.5%?"
Ye Li had just finished speaking.
A murmur of indifference immediately arose among the Godslayer Martial Hall's ranks.
"A mere 0.5% mortality rate? You call that dangerous? Our casual border clearing missions have a mortality rate of over 50%!"
"Are flowers in a greenhouse so delicate that this low casualty rate is really something to be seriously warned about?"
"Looks like this trip really is a vacation and a way to collect points."
"..."
Many members of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance also showed indifference on their faces.
They exchanged glances, clearly finding the relatively mild casualty rate somewhat uninteresting.
They live on the edge of a knife year-round, and every mission they undertake is fraught with danger.
A mortality rate of 0.5% is almost negligible in their eyes.
On the Eternal Star Alliance side, the students' reactions were relatively calm.
Although a few people showed anger because of the other party's mockery.
However, most people, including Xu Jingming, Yueying, and Lanyu, did not show much change in expression.
They certainly didn't experience the same high mortality rate in actual combat as the other two sides, but a mortality rate of 0.5% is indeed not high.
However, with a base of 300,000 people, it also means that around 1,500 of their peers will perish in each competition.
This number is enough to make any rational person put away their contempt.
"In addition to gaining points by hunting monsters, you can also gain half of the opponent's points by defeating players from different factions."
In addition, the entire monster-hunting competition will be broadcast live to the public.
Your smart arm protectors all come with cameras that can be turned on or off automatically.
As the competition enters its final month, all participants will be required to enable the live streaming option, allowing for a fully public live stream.
At that time, your performance will be directly presented to the audience of your respective factions and the entire human race of the universe.
Ye Li's cold voice rang out again.
Broadcasting live to the public is arguably the best way to enhance the influence of these three forces among the human race in the universe.
"The rules are clear. Any objections?"
After announcing the rules, Ye Li's gaze swept across the entire arena once more.
Immediately, everyone on the platform fell silent; the previous hushed discussions completely disappeared, plunging the platform into complete silence.
Just kidding, since we've already decided to participate in the demon-hunting competition, we naturally won't have any objections to these rules.
"Since no one objects, let's begin distributing the spatial rings and smart arm guards now."
Ye Li raised a fair, jade-like hand and gently waved it.
Hundreds of thousands of drones took off from behind and flew toward the athletes.
"Beep beep beep, scan complete."
Your competition-specific space ring and smart arm guard have been issued.
The original spatial ring and smart arm guards will be returned after the competition.
Accompanied by a series of mechanical electronic prompts.
The more than 300,000 Star Rank users on the platform quickly received their respective spatial rings and smart arm guards.
"Now, I hereby declare that this year's Demon Hunting Competition has officially begun!"
boom! !
Minutes later, hundreds of light gates suddenly lit up in front of the platform!
Each portal of light rippled with steady spatial waves, and the desolate yet dangerous aura of Blood Refining Star could be faintly felt behind it.
"Each portal will teleport you to any safe location on Blood Refining Star."
If you choose to team up, you can enter together and won't be teleported separately.
As Ye Li finished speaking her last words.
In an instant, the long-suppressed fighting spirit and passion erupted!
"Haha! It's starting! It's starting!"
"I am the King of Demon Hunters! The Blood Refining Badge is mine!"
"Let the academics see what real combat is!"
"..."
Three hundred thousand figures transformed into streaks of light of various colors, each with a majestic aura.
Like a meteor shower moving in reverse, they rushed towards those light gates in a frenzy!
The trainees of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance charged with the wildest ferocity, their roars shaking the heavens, like a pack of ferocious beasts unleashed from their cages.
The Godslayer Martial Hall's teams, on the other hand, were more organized, often operating in small squads and coordinating their attacks.
On the Eternal Star Alliance side, most people also quickly sprang into action.
They may transform into streaks of light on their own, or they may gather with their pre-arranged teammates and enter the portal of light.
"Jingming, you really aren't coming with us?"
In the Eternal Star Alliance team, Moon Shadow looked at Xu Jingming with her beautiful big eyes and spoke.
Lan Yu, Yan Ji, and Beth, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but look over.
They had already agreed to act together.
"No, I can act alone." Xu Jingming shook his head with a smile.
He wanted to hunt down the monsters with maximum efficiency.
Yueying and the others are too weak; following behind me would only be a burden.
"Ok."
Yueying's beautiful eyes darkened slightly, but she had expected this, and a smile quickly spread across her cold and beautiful face as she said:
"See you in a year then. I wish you lots of monster kills and lots of points to accumulate."
Their goal is to avoid being eliminated in the first few months.
But Xu Jingming is different; with the opponent's strength, it's easy for him to hold out until the end.
See you in a year! Captain, don't leave us too far behind!
Yan Ji said with a smile.
See you in a year.
Xu Jingming smiled slightly and said no more.
In the next instant, he moved, transforming into an incredibly swift dark golden lightning bolt.
Starting late but arriving early, it instantly surpassed dozens of figures ahead and plunged into the nearest gate of light.
Xu Jingming felt a blur before his eyes, and a slight dizziness from the spatial shift came over him.
The next second, their feet were firmly planted on the soft, slightly damp soil.
"Roar--"
"Ow—"
"..."
My ears were instantly filled with all sorts of sounds.
A deep, chilling roar of a monstrous beast echoed from afar.
Interspersed among them were sharp hisses and strange cries of unknown creatures, echoing layer upon layer through the dense jungle.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and rust, mixed with the scent of decaying leaves, damp earth, and various strange plants.
The canopies of the towering trees intertwine high up, almost blocking out the sky.
Only a few pale spots of light peeked through the gaps, making the entire surrounding environment appear extremely dark.
This environment, gloomy, dangerous, and full of unknown dangers, is simply the ideal filming location for horror movies.
However, Xu Jingming showed no sign of nervousness whatsoever.
Instead, I felt a long-lost sense of excitement welling up from the bottom of my heart, and my blood seemed to be slightly warming up.
That's what it feels like!
Although it is equally dangerous in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm.
But there, the lightning never stopped, and the blinding flashes of electricity turned the sky and earth a deathly white.
It lacks the gloom and oppression that belong to the wilderness.
Yet, this perilous jungle environment felt strangely familiar to him.
It felt like I was back on Earth, fighting in the wilderness.
This is the battlefield he is familiar with, the stage where he can bring his vigilance and killing intent to the extreme.
"The hunt begins!"
Xu Jingming took a deep breath, his body crackling with dark golden lightning, and his immense spiritual power surged forth instantly!
