When an enemy that seems impossible to defeat appears, it often brings everyone else together quickly. And that's exactly the thought behind the other contestants in Qi Ling's group.
After Qi Ling and Qian Xunji's teams were separated, the remaining four people were also divided into two groups. Although their strength was not as good as Qian Xunji's, if the three groups joined forces, they might have a chance to drag Qi Ling down with them.
Qi Ling didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the three groups. In the competition, everything depends on strength. If the Devil Realm really adopted some kind of trash competition that required four groups to cooperate to pass, Qi Ling would be very disappointed.
"Alright, now it's time for you to use your expertise. Do you know the information about those two groups?" Qi Ling said to Kurumi.
Kurumi glanced at the four people and said, "I don't know. Although I do have information on many people, I only collect information on those who are valuable."
"As for those four people, it's clear they're not worth my attention."
"Really? Be careful not to get caught off guard." Qi Ling laughed. Although she said that, the four people's strength was indeed slightly lacking, but no one should underestimate them. Perhaps they had amazing abilities in other areas.
"Being cautious is a good thing, but don't doubt my judgment." Kurumi leaned close to Qi Ling, pressing her face against Qi Ling's, and said, "Because you'll soon find out that what I said is correct."
After the groups were divided, the competition for each group was about to begin. At this moment, Xiluo reappeared before them, smiling, and said, "Oh, hello everyone, I'm your examiner, Xiluo. I'm sure you all recognize me, right?"
Qi Ling and Xiluo were already acquainted, given their connection through Luna, so Qi Ling asked, " Xiluo? I didn't expect you to be one of our group's examiners. I thought you'd definitely be in Luna's group."
Xiluo said with a regretful look, "Yes, that's what I thought too, but Alice has already gotten there first and joined Luna's group. It's such a pity."
"Ah, but Qi Ling, don't expect me to give you special treatment because of this! That's impossible! The great Lady Xiluo is an absolutely fair judge; she would never do such a thing!"
Qi Ling smiled helplessly, "Yes, yes, I understand. Then please tell us, the great Lady Xiluo, what the competition is about."
"Don't rush, first we need to get to your competition venue," Xiluo said with a smile. "Once we get there, you'll naturally understand what the competition entails."
Everyone looked puzzled, then Xiluo waved her hand, and a portal appeared in front of her. She walked in first, saying, "Please follow me, everyone. This is your competition venue."
With a hint of curiosity, Qi Ling followed Xiluo through the teleportation portal and was immediately stunned by the sight before her. In front of Qi Ling was a magnificent arena, with stands that could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, which were now filled with all sorts of people, cheering loudly.
Not only Qi Ling, but everyone in this group was shocked by what they saw. Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, " Xiluo, are all these spectators from the Devil Realm? Are there really so many people in the Devil Realm?"
"Of course, Qi Ling, you don't actually think the Devil Realm is some barren wasteland where people live in misery, do you?" Xiluo couldn't help but laugh. "This is a superior world, far surpassing any other world; how could its population be small?"
"That... that seems to make sense," Qi Ling said. It seems the situation in the Devil Realm is the exact opposite of that in the Divine Realm.
Among the many Devil Realm in the stands, Qi Ling witnessed the diversity of the Devil Realm. Some were clearly not human, and there were even aliens several meters tall sitting among them.
Caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere, Qi Ling and the others couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Coupled with the unique setting of the arena, Qian Xunji couldn't help but ask, "You brought us here, does this competition mean we'll have to duel each other here?"
"Hehe, of course not! That's for later. What you're going to do now is much more interesting!" Xiluo laughed. "Since you've come all the way to the Devil Realm, how can we not let you see some of our Devil Realm's specialties!"
"So, the battle you're about to engage in is right here in this arena, against the demons of our Devil Realm. That's why it's attracted so many spectators!"
"Oh? Demonic beasts from the Devil Realm?" Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh. "That's quite interesting. But since we're divided into four groups, will we be facing the same kind of demonic beasts?"
"Of course not. If that were the case, how could we possibly determine who won and who lost? We can't just wait until the monsters devour you all and the last one standing is the victor, can we?" Xiluo said. "Although that kind of choice seems quite interesting."
"However, this time we're using a points-based system for the competition. All the points you earn during the competition will be accumulated, and whoever has the most points at the end will naturally win."
"As for how to earn points, it's very simple. If you challenge different monsters, you'll be given different points based on the difficulty of each monster. The stronger the monster you defeat, the more points you'll get."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's expression changed drastically. Although the competition seemed fair, he knew that it meant Qi Ling had already won the match, because he didn't believe that the monster he could deal with was stronger than Qi Ling.
"Damn it, these rules are so unfair to us," Qian Xunji thought to himself. "Right now, all we can do is try to get as many points as possible to narrow the gap with Qi Ling, so we can have a chance to overtake him later."
Seeing Qian Xunji's expression, Qi Ling naturally knew what he was thinking. He simply smiled indifferently and continued, " Xiluo, I have two more questions: First, will we be able to see the information about the magical beasts we've chosen? Second, if we're no match for these magical beasts, will we die here?"
These two questions are crucial. If we can know them, firstly, we can choose more suitable monsters as opponents, and secondly, with our lives guaranteed, people will be more daring to try.
But Xiluo just smiled and said, "You wish!"
"Information about each monster is kept secret. You will only know what you will face right before the battle begins, and you cannot back out! Once you lose, the competition will end immediately, and your best score will become your points."
"So, you should choose carefully! If you challenge an overly difficult monster right from the start, your points might drop to zero!"
"Huh? We need some reference value so we can make a selection, right? Otherwise, how will we know which magical beast to choose as our opponent?" Qi Ling asked.
"Of course. I have a rough comparison of the strength and difficulty of the magical beasts here for your reference." Xiluo said, handing each group a piece of paper with the approximate strength of the magical beasts of the corresponding difficulty level written on it.
The difficulty levels of Warcraft range from the lowest level 1 to the highest level 100, which is quite detailed. As for the strength of Warcraft, a level 10 Warcraft is roughly equivalent to One-Ring True God, which is already quite powerful.
Even the lowest difficulty level 1 magical beast is equivalent to the strength of a level 99 Limit Douluo. This means that if you don't even have that kind of strength, you should give up on this match as soon as possible.
