Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 840: A Battle of Attacks

He smiled, not answering Ye Qing's question, but changing the subject, saying, "You gentlemen have come to the Gamma Galaxy to watch the Genius Battle selection, right?"

Ye Qing noticed that the uncle was avoiding the topic, and he also saw the helplessness in the other man's eyes!

In fact, he could also sense the helplessness in the man's eyes.

You can't judge a person's character by their strength. Ye Qing knew this was just talk.

The global legal system has already done a good enough job of regulating this, especially domestically, but even so, there has never been any true equality.

The rich have a sense of superiority over the poor; class remains an insurmountable mountain!

He shook his head, realizing that what he had said was indeed a bit idealistic. He then changed the subject, saying, "Uncle, tell us about this genius competition selection!"

"Hey, you can ask about that anytime!" the uncle said. "This is a once-in-a-century event in the universe. Our planet Gamma has thirteen spots available to participate in the Cosmic Genius Battle this time!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's heart stirred slightly.

In the entire galaxy, there was only one person under the age of thirty who possessed extraordinary abilities: Yue Xi.

The age limit has now been relaxed to under 50.

This number will inevitably increase significantly.

The number of participants will inevitably increase. The Gamma Galaxy has thirteen slots, and although the number of Level 7 civilizations in the universe is not as vast as that of Level 6 civilizations, it is still considerable. With the addition of Level 8 and Level 9 civilizations, the final number of participants will likely be tens of thousands!

"Do you know the rules?" Ye Qing asked.

"So, we'll select one hundred people first. However, because the competition for these spots is fierce, based on past experience, some Level 8 civilizations might choose to come here if they feel the competition is too intense on their own planets. Generally, we on Gamma Planet will select fifty people, and then the temple will select fifty more from the applicants from outside the planets. Finally, they will enter Gamma Planet to participate in the finals!" the middle-aged man said. "In the end, thirteen people will be chosen!"

"A one-on-one duel?" Ye Qing asked.

"No, that's not it!" the middle-aged man said. "It's... a war of attrition!"

"A war of attrition?" Ye Qing frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"

"The competition format... For example, there are fifty competition venues on the temple of Muqi Star right now!" the middle-aged man said. "These fifty venues will determine fifty spots. No matter where you come from, as long as you are under fifty years old and your strength has reached the extraordinary level, you can register. Each of these fifty venues has a champion, and participants can register to challenge them!"

"If you succeed, you remain the champion; if you fail... you're eliminated." The middle-aged man said, "It seems like if we have another day, we can determine the final fifty!"

"As for the final match, it will be the same. There will be thirteen arenas!" the middle-aged man said with a smile. "Those who are confident can go up to one of them. They will defend their position for three days. If they lose, they will be eliminated."

Upon hearing this rule, Ye Qing frowned deeply and said, "If someone defends the arena and is constantly challenged, wouldn't that be a huge disadvantage?"

"The purpose of this is to select the strongest person! This strength is not just about one-on-one strength, but also a test of endurance and resilience!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Ye Qing stroked his chin, deep in thought.

At this moment, the middle-aged man said, "We've arrived. This restaurant is located on our planet Muqi. The food is excellent!"

Ye Qing looked at a luxuriously decorated restaurant in front of him, where many people were dining!

He nodded and asked, "How much?"

“Three blue crystals!” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Ye Qing paused!

Damn, the labor costs of this advanced civilization are indeed a bit high!

He silently gave them three blue crystals, and then the group went downstairs.

"Are we going to the restaurant again?" Lin Qianyu asked.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Let's go. There are so many people in this restaurant; we're sure to hear some useful information!"

After they entered, someone quickly came to greet them and helped them sit down in the lobby. Ye Qing casually ordered a few dishes while listening to the sounds around him.

Sure enough, as the battle of geniuses approached, this was the topic of discussion for most people.

"Have you heard? That woman from the eighth-level civilization of Tianxuan Star has gone thirty games undefeated!"

"Sigh, it seems our Gamma Planet is going to be short one spot again!"

"More than a dozen people died on the stage yesterday!"

"There's no other way. Those who defend the title will resort to killing to intimidate others. But even so, it's said that more than 30 of the 50 title holders changed hands yesterday! The battles today and tomorrow will probably be even more brutal!"

"Sigh, they were all geniuses, it's such a pity they died like this!"

"Hey, the power of martial arts is all about life and death!"

……

Listening to the surrounding conversation, Ye Qing and the others remained silent. They finished their meal in silence, then found a nice hotel nearby. After entering the hotel, the big yellow dog asked, "You all roughly understand the rules now, what do you think?"

Xueyun pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the best way right now is to challenge someone right before the deadline, which will minimize the pressure!"

“I don’t think so!” Lin Qianyu shook her head and said, “This is indeed the least risky way, but this arena battle has a time limit. Tomorrow is the last day. When the time comes, you will not be able to challenge and will automatically lose your spot.”

"Moreover, according to the rules, if the ring isn't taken down before the time runs out, it's considered an unsuccessful challenge, and the defending champion still wins?" Lin Qianyu said, "That's too risky."

"I have an idea!" At that moment, Big Yellow Dog and Ye Qing spoke at the same time.

The big yellow dog looked at Ye Qing and said, "You speak!"

Ye Qing coughed and said, "The rule is that if someone challenges, no one else can challenge. So let's challenge someone first, occupy the arena, and then when someone challenges us, if the opponent is not strong enough, we'll extend the time until the end of tomorrow's challenge. Let's get one of these fifty spots first!"

"You mean, you're deliberately not winning?" Lin Qianyu asked.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I reckon there are quite a few people who have this idea!"

The big yellow dog chuckled and said, "Kid, your idea coincides with mine, but what I'm worried about is that they might put forward some rules on this point. Maybe we should go to the temple first and find out the situation before we talk about it!"
