The first round of the tournament has ended, and the teleportation array continues to send back wizards who have passed the first round.
Although they maintained their usual air of mystery after passing the first round, their joy was as evident as their raised eyebrows.
With a probability of one in 100,000, you should be happy no matter what.
Leo searched carefully, especially glancing at female wizards who teleported out, but still couldn't find the figure he was hoping for.
The teleportation ended quickly, and Alice was never seen; it seems she failed the elimination rounds.
Leo didn't feel much sadness. Passing was abnormal; failing was the normal situation. The wizards who passed the first round of the competition were all first -First-Level Wizard who had advanced more than five hundred years and had participated in many expeditions.
Among the thirty-five wizards who passed the test, not one had even been promoted to the rank of three hundred years ago.
Of course, Leo, being a pervert, doesn't count.
The wizards who were teleported back all seemed to know each other and were greeting one another.
Time will make strangers familiar, and those with similar abilities will become even more so.
Even a wizard who dislikes socializing will have a few close friends over hundreds of years.
Leo looked around but didn't recognize anyone, so he quietly waited to be seated to the side for the next match schedule.
His low profile went unnoticed by any wizards, thanks to Leo's excellent concealment.
Each time he made a move, the opposing wizard never clearly saw Leo's face, and didn't even know whether the person attacking him was male or female.
The only ones who knew Leo's identity and strength were Charlotte's group of wizards. However, Leo believed that after he single-handedly defeated Charlotte and her 157 wizards, they would keep their identities a secret. After all, revealing their identities would be a disgrace to them.
The fact that 157 wizards couldn't defeat one wizard is a clear sign of their incompetence!
Therefore, Leo wasn't worried about his identity being exposed at all. As for Amanda and Amy, they had already been told before leaving the competition world that they wouldn't dare to say anything.
The schedule for the next match wasn't long; it was arranged in less than half a day.
On a large screen not far away, the names of 35 wizards appeared; these were the ones who had just advanced to the next round of the competition.
Leo looked at the names on the big screen. Great, he didn't recognize any of them.
His name was, of course, mixed in with it.
Just as all the wizards were looking at the large screen, a Supreme Lord slave rat, radiating a level-three aura, walked to the bottom of the screen, bowed slightly, and said:
"Esteemed wizards, some of you may be unfamiliar with the rules if this is your first time participating. I'll explain them here: whoever's name appears on the screen will enter the teleportation array."
"Your opponents may not necessarily be from our tower, but perhaps wizards from other towers participating in the competition."
"The competition venue will, unsurprisingly, be located in many demiplanes. Aside from combat partners and slaves who are far beyond your strength, any other means are acceptable. As long as you can eliminate your opponent, you will naturally advance to the next level."
"The current competition rules are very simple: you play round after round until you are eliminated or become the champion, and then the competition ends."
"The competition is about to begin. I wish all the wizards the best of luck."
After saying this, the level-three rat turned and left, showing no intention of telling any other story.
Of course, no wizard would ask any brainless questions; the rules of the competition are too simple for anyone to understand.
Just fight!
Being eliminated means the end of the competition. If you survive until the end of the competition, you are the winner.
The tower was quiet; even when people spoke, they did so via private telepathy, and all the wizards waited for their names to appear on the screen.
This time it took a little longer than usual. The name of the wizard who was going to compete was only revealed after Yaoyao had already woken up. It was a wizard named Saiensi.
Leo glanced around and saw a figure disappear into the teleportation system.
No one knows the outcome of the match, and there's no way to watch the process. All you can do is watch if the names on the screen disappear; once they disappear, it means the match is lost.
Besides the wizards who were going to participate in the competition, there were also many who had been eliminated before and hadn't left. They were watching the competition results with a sense of excitement.
Saiensi's name remained on the screen for a full half day, and he didn't teleport back, indicating he was engrossed in a fierce battle.
Before the results for Saiensi were available, another name Tuoluoqi, appeared on the screen.
The wizard walked into the teleportation array in full view of everyone.
Just when everyone thought that this wizard, Tuoluoqi, would also be caught in a fierce battle, less than a minute later, Tuoluoqi appeared on the teleportation array with a grim expression.
Looking at the screen, the name of Tuoluoqi was no longer on it; of the original thirty-five wizards, only thirty-four remained.
He was eliminated!
There should be plenty of venues available, so even if a match ends in a stalemate, there should be enough other venues to handle the numerous matches.
Some matches are very quick, with the outcome decided in just a few minutes, but others are particularly slow, like the first match where Saiensi took a full three days to emerge from the teleportation array.
His name didn't disappear from the screen; after three days of fierce competition, he successfully advanced to the next round!
Leo waited quietly, showing no excitement or trepidation about playing; his calm face made it seem as if this was a match that had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until a month later that Leo finally saw his name on the screen.
Just two simple words.
Leo,
No one knew the meaning of those two words, let alone that this name represented a ruthless individual who single-handedly eliminated all 157 team wizards in the first round of the competition.
With the competition more than halfway through, only 27 of the original 35 advancing wizards remained. Many wizards began exchanging tips and information about the competition, so the tower on this level was no longer completely silent, but rather filled with considerable noise.
No one noticed a figure in a gray robe disappear into the teleportation array.
There is no sky, only a large protective shield, through which one can see the bottomless, deep outer space.
This is a small demiplane with a limited area. The main reason for changing the competition venue from a medium-sized world to a demiplane is to compress the competition time.
If an entire world were used to host one-on-one matches, these wizards, skilled in all sorts of methods, could drag it out for hundreds of years.
Leo teleported over, and the opposing wizard also teleported over. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about them; they wore wizard robes, wizard staffs, and had three waves of wizard artifact energy emanating from their bodies.
His aura is as deep as the sea, indicating he is a top-tier First-Level Wizard. If my perception is correct, he is very likely to advance to level two within a hundred years.
"You..."
The opposing wizard was about to open his mouth to speak,
Leo had already raised the Godslaying Staff, coldly uttering a few words.
" Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft!"
The nuclear materials that had been prepared inside the shadow collided and fissioned instantly, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that rushed into Leo's body.
Guided by Leo's magical power, it was released from the Godslaying Staff with earth-shattering force.
"Boom"
A beam of light shot out from the Godslaying Staff in an instant, and the roaring elemental energy fluctuations stirred up an energy tide in the previously calm demiplane.
Under the dazzling beam of light, Leo's face was illuminated in shifting light and shadow.
The wizard on the other side felt such a terrifying attack, and his expression changed drastically, but it was too late to do anything.
He could only watch helplessly as the energy beam, which unleashed a surge of energy, easily tore apart the three protective shields on his body as if shredding paper.
The last thing I saw was the terrifying beam of light about to pierce into my body.
Then...
That was the end of it.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the Wizard World.
Staring at the disappeared name on the screen, still stunned and unable to process the attack he had just suffered.
A lingering sense of fear remained; this was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent.
That overwhelming and terrifying power seemed to want to wipe him off the face of the earth.
" Lieqi, what kind of opponent did you encounter? How did you get eliminated in an instant?"
A wizard who was on good terms with the person in question stepped forward and asked, "The time from the start of the teleportation to the return is so short, it can only mean that the Lieqi was instantly eliminated."
They knew of Lieqi's strength; he was a top-tier level one wizard about to advance to level two, and he also possessed triple protection.
Lieqi is a ruthless individual who eliminated over a thousand wizards in the first round of the elimination tournament.
Even if they encountered a more powerful wizard, they shouldn't be eliminated instantly, right?
Seeing the pale face on Lieqi's face, they were very curious about what kind of opponent could frighten a top-level First-Level Wizard like this.
Lieqi thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any information about this wizard at all. It wasn't surprising, after all, the Wizard World was too big.
He wore an unassuming gray robe and a simple wizard's staff; there was no trace of magical energy emanating from him.
Who eliminated me?
Lieqi mind was filled with the lingering, terrifying beam of light that seemed to shatter space itself; his lips were dry. The attack power must be at least 3500 points!!
This is hardly an attack First-Level Wizard could unleash.
Lieqi had a lot to say about being eliminated, and even wanted to find some excuses for himself, but when all the words came to his lips, only four simple words remained:
"A pervert!"
After saying that, Lieqi strode away, no longer interested in participating in the competition. With such a freakish wizard around, his participation in the competition was meaningless.
Or rather, with that freak around, there's no point in other wizards participating in the competition.
That's destined to be an insurmountable mountain, so what's the difference between being at the foot of the mountain and halfway up?
