Found it!
I can finally enter the Selection Tournament!
I've got to thank Zhang Pengcheng properly when I get back!
I'll treat him to spicy crayfish.
As for right now...
There's no choice to make.
Obviously, I'm picking "Z"!
Xu Yuan was beside himself with excitement. He broke into a grin.
The Dark Crown was an ultra-high-level Competition, shrouded in mist and impossible to approach.
Based on his analysis of his own ability, this Competition supposedly held the power to free him from the Gaze of other Longevity Immortal Species.
And now—
He had uncovered its preliminary Selection Tournament. It was right before his eyes!
Xu Yuan drew a deep breath and looked around.
Everything had frozen.
The entire Rainbow City Subway Station seemed like a terrifying beast crouched on the ground, holding its breath as it waited for him to give his answer.
Xu Yuan wanted to sit cross-legged and rest for a while, quietly take stock of his condition, then go back to check whether Jiang Xueyao was still safe, whether Zuo Lingjing had woken up, and how far the Demon Race was from Jiangbei City. But—
There was no time.
His ability warned him to make his choice at once. Delay, and things might change!
In that case...
I can only...
"I choose option two. Enter the Selection Tournament immediately."
Xu Yuan spoke.
Within the void and darkness, something seemed to happen.
A strange aura welled up and spread around him, shimmering with dreamlike light and shadow.
As Xu Yuan watched it, a feeling suddenly came over him—
The past and future had joined together.
He couldn't say why he felt that way, but the answer soon came:
Lines of faintly glowing text appeared:
"Attention."
"The Selection Tournament is an official Competition and uses an elimination system."
