I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 163 - : 162: The First Competition Zone!

Translator: 549690339

On the day the preliminary audition ended. the organization committee of the Peak Genius Race released the rules for the intermediate audition.

The rules for the intermediate audition are as follows:

Elimination through scoring within divisions.

The one million contestants from ten thousand affiliated galaxies will be divided into one hundred competition areas, each area will arrange one hundred first places, one hundred second places, one hundred third places…all the way down to one hundred one hundredth places.

To ensure that there are no two people from the same affiliated galaxy in any competition area.

Each competitor within an area will be placed separately on an independent virtual planet.

In each area, ten thousand people will battle simultaneously, one point for each person killed.

In addition to killing a contender for one point, half of the opponent’s points will also be gained.

Each competition area will end when only one person is left alive.

The maximum killing time is one month. If more than two people are still alive after one month, the competition within the area will end.

The scoring rank will start to be calculated in real-time as soon as all competition areas begin.

This time’s scoring rank will be the final rank result of this intermediate audition!

The top ten thousand of the scoring rank will obtain qualifications to advance to the final audition.

“This rule set for the intermediate auditions seems pretty straightforward!”

In the box, Du Gang and Barara, each with a cup of cappuccino, were chatting over drinks.

“It’s normal that it’s simple. Because the preliminary auditions are for distinguishing the strong and the weak within each galaxy, each galaxy’s own spectators will naturally generate a lot of enthusiasm…”

“For the intermediate auditions, spectators from each galaxy, since they are unfamiliar with people from other galaxies, can only support people from their own galaxy…”

“Dividing the competition into one hundred areas is actually a way to introduce the powerful people from each place…”

Du Gang laughed and said, “There will be the first place from one hundred galaxies in each competition area. Do you think there will be some very powerful people among them?”

As for how the other galaxies stand, he wasn’t sure. He could only speculate based on the situation in the Milky Way Galaxy.

“There should be!”

Barara responded, “Among the ten thousand galaxies, many are not far from the White Dragon Mountain universe, and even with their resources within the galaxy, they could reach White Dragon Mountain on their own…”

“These places, in terms of martial arts, some secret methods including disciple training, are definitely stronger than our remote galaxies!”

As Barara spoke, she reminded him, “Du Gang, when you participate in the competition tomorrow, don’t just try to kill the strong ones. Instead, kill more of the weak ones first to accumulate points…”

“In case in the end the competition area you are in has an enemy with three or even four domains, if you don’t get the first advancement, be careful not to have enough points!”

Her concern made sense. If Du Gang’s competition area happened to allocate a four-domain contender, and Du Gang started a tough fight with him, and was ultimately eliminated, but didn’t have enough points, it would be a real pity.

“I understand!”

Du Gang nodded and laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of stubborn kind of person. If I come across that kind of guy, I’ll definitely run away…”

This was just the intermission of the first race. If he stopped here, it would indeed be a pity.

At the very least, when he advances to the transformation of a giant being, if he loses again, then he would have nothing to say!

“Du Gang, you’re going need to fight continuously for a month starting tomorrow, do you want to rest a bit today?”

Barara was still a bit worried. Du Gang hasn’t taken a rest for more than two years.

“Alright!”

Although Du Gang didn’t think it was necessary – with the Ancient Divine Soul present, a cycle of Mental Power replenishment made him full of energy – but thinking about it, he really hadn’t slept for a long time. Besides, there was nothing significant to do that day anyway, so he decided to catch some sleep.

After leaving the virtual universe, Du Gang lay down directly on the bed at home.

Although he had never used items like bedding, Barara had people replacing them regularly, so there were no odd smells.

Perhaps because he hadn’t slept for a long time, as soon as Du Gang touched the bed he fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he saw himself as a farmer tending to land, farming crops every day, self-sufficient, and very content.

When he woke up, it was already the next day. His whole body felt refreshed and extremely invigorated.

Looking closely at his core Mental Power, he realized that this spirit defensive method had also received a significant improvement.

“Who would have thought that I could make gains from sleeping, it’s a good omen indeed!”

After shrinking the Ancient Divine Spear to the perfect proportion and holding it in his hand, Du Gang began to patiently wait.

In no time, Barara reminded him, “Du Gang, you got a notification. You can come in now!”

“Ok! ”

As his consciousness immersed in the virtual universe, he instantly appeared outside a planet. Looking down from the stars, he could see the number one written on the planet.

He roughly estimates that this planet is very big, probably the size of the Star of Talent.

“Does this mean it’s the first competition area?”

Then, with a transition in the visual, he found himself inside the first competition area on the planet.

[All contestants are not allowed to leave the planet during the competition.

Violators will be disqualified!]

[All contestants will be able to see the location of other contestants within the same competition area at the start of the competition!] [The location of other contestants will be updated once a day!]

[The competition will last for a maximum amount of one month!]

[When only one person is left alive within a competition area, the competition will end prematurely! ]

At this moment, Du Gang noticed that in the sky, there was a giant number that was increasing constantly.

[5536]

[5689]

Clearly, this was the current number of participants that had entered.

The preparation period for the competition was half an hour. Those who exceed the time will be disqualified.

Du Gang tried to move but found that he was bound by an invisible force and could not move.

He understood that he would have to wait until the competition officially starts to De aD1e to move.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of contestants in the sky had long reached[10000].

[The competition begins!]

With the system promptly sound, numerous points of light suddenly appeared in front of Du Gangs eyes. It was similar to the strength test glasses he used before, marking the distance of all points of light.

At the same time, the bind on his body suddenly disappeared.

Du Gang quickly scanned around the location of the points of light, and immediately activated Skyward Nine Transformations and started to take action.

Ten thousand people were randomly placed on this planet, so he chose a direction where the light spots seemed dense and charged towards it.

Almost three seconds later, he appeared twenty thousand miles away, near the first spot of light.

“Who’s there?!”

The person represented by the spot of light, who was still pondering which direction he should take one second earlier, was suddenly taken aback the next moment when he realized someone had appeared before him.

“Snap ! ”

All he received in response was a crack of his throat being broken.

“Saa! ”

This person transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared within the competition area. He might be the first person to be eliminated within the hundred competition areas!

At this point, Du Gang had no intention of holding back, he directly used the Skyward Third Transformation and started approaching the previously indicated light point position at a speed equivalent to a third of the speed of light.

Within the Milky Way Galaxy, Cappuccino was attentively watching the rankings of the first competition area from a box in the virtual universe.

At this moment, there were a hundred competition areas under the White Dragon Mountain region, each marked in order.

Above this, there was still a total ranking list.

Suddenly, just at the start of the competition, a name appeared in the first place slot on the total ranking list.

[First place, Du Gang, Score: 1, First Competition Area.]

Ten thousand star systems were suddenly in an uproar.

Who on earth managed to score within just a couple of seconds from the start of the competition?

The spectators from the Milky Way Galaxy were ecstatic!

“Du Gang is awesome!”

‘Wow, he’s definitely making a name for himself across the entire universe!”

But in the first competition area, Du Gang didn’t pay any attention to all this. After taking out his first opponent, he quickly flew towards his next one.

Admittedly, his speed in this competition had given him a huge advantage.

Under the circumstances where everyone is quite far apart, he could quickly approach the enemy and achieve his goal of rapidly scoring points in the early stage.

This means that as long as he eliminates over two hundred players, he will definitely advance to the next round!

Three seconds later, he arrived at the location of the second light point, which was already void of any competitors.

“Mental Detection!”

In an instant, Du Gang released his mental power searching for this fleeing competitor, and quickly located him.

Following that, within a blink of an eye, Du Gang’s score turned to two points.

In the virtual universe.

All of the ten thousand star systems, including the Milky Way, were shocked. The ranking list, currently topped solely by Du Gang, is quite a sight. [First place, Du Gang, Score: 4, First Competition Area]

[Second place, Yuan Yao, Score: 1, Twenty-third Competition Area] [Third place, Zhao Biao, Score: 1, Forty-fifth Competition Area]

“Who the hell is this Du Gang?!!”

Everyone was shocked. It’s one thing to get the first kill, but this Du Gang managed to maintain a pace of eliminating one enemy every three to four seconds, and continually increasing his score.

Keep in mind that the timing for each competition area is set for a month, and it’s specifically designed for them to engage in slow paced battles. But at Du Gang’s pace, what is left there for the other competitors?

“Yuan Yao is only in second place!”

A person from Yuan Yao’s star system commented: “Keep in mind, Yuan Yao is a strong contender with a triple Wind Element domain. Even with his speed, he still isn’t as fast as this Du Gang!”

It goes without saying, the name Du Gang has entered the vision of the ten thousand star systems in advance, making everyone remember him.

“It’s such a pity that the preliminary auditions don’t have video footage, only rankings. Otherwise, I’d really want to see how Du Gang is running. How could he be so fast!”

This time, on the White Dragon Mountain of the virtual universe, everyone started discussing Du Gang.

Keep in mind, this island does not only house the Milky Way’s participants, but also participants from the entire ten thousand star systems, including the inhabitants of the White Dragon Universe Nation.

Half an hour later, the entire White Dragon Mountain was boiling. Because Du Gang’s performance was simply, incredibly unnerving. [First place: Du Gang, Score: 112, First Competition Area] [Second place: Zhao Biao, Score: 43, Forty-fifth Competition Area] [Third place: Yuan Yao, Score: 32, Twenty-third Competition Area]

If Yuan Yao’s tri-level Wind Element domain made people fear Du Gang’s strength,

But when it came out that “Zhao Biao is a strong player with a quad-level Wind Element domain!”, the entire White Dragon Mountain was in an uproar.

“Who exactly is this Du Gang?”

“Even Zhao Biao, who has a quad-level Wind Element domain, cannot catch up to him in speed…..”

“Could it be that Du Gang has a level five Wind Element domain?” Hearing these comments, the audience from the entire Milky Way were rendered speechless.

They didn’t know how to explain it to others.

Should they say that Du Gang only has a double domain?

And it’s even the Gold Element domain?

Who would believe that?!

Not long after, somebody from the Milky Way came forward and spilled the details about Du Gang. freew ebnove l.com

“Du Gang, Age: 19, Stellar Level Rank One, of Milky Way origin, an outside disciple of the Virtual Universe Company, champion of the preliminary auditions in the Milky Way, once killed a universe level expert after just entering the Stellar Level…..”

“19 years old?”

“I want to know, did you miss one zero or two in his age?

19 years old would be shocking enough let alone if Du Gang was 190 years old, which would still be considered very young!

Even if it he was 1900 years old, he would still be considered rather youthful!

When the news just came out, the entire White Dragon Universe Nation, including its affiliated ten thousand star systems, could not believe it!

Even though people from the Milky Way Galaxy kept reiterating that it was true, nobody wanted to believe it.

Meanwhile, the Virtual Universe Company quickly contacted Fan An of the Milky Way to verify this.

Receiving orders from the upper echelons, Fan An and three others instantly teleported to the ninth star system, Earth, where they started investigating Du Gang’s age in secret.

When they found out through their secret investigation that Du Gang had once closed himself off for a hundred -year cultivation, they finally exhaled in relief.

Although 119 years old is still outrageous, it’s at least better than being 19 years old!

Then, without leaving, they found the Earth Alliance, and after revealing their identities, they had a discussion with Chu Zixuan and other high-level representatives.

Once Du Gang’s age was confirmed to be 119 years old, Fan An and others left some resources on Earth as a congratulatory gift for Du Gang’s achievements. They then left the planet and returned to the Galaxy Heart to report.

As soon as they left, the people of Earth were shocked once again, but also ecstatic.

Even though they didn’t know how high Du Gang’s achievements were, from that bunch of titles, they could conclude that Du Gang was on the rise!

At the same time, members of the Purple Orchid Star field who were originally on the sidelines openly requested that Chu Zixuan take over the governance of the Purple Orchid Star field.

Upon hearing this great news, Chu Zixuan, who had been working hard to break through to the Planet Level, naturally could not refuse. He directly took up the position and went to the Purple Orchid Star field.

First competition zone.

At this moment, a giant leaderboard floated in the sky.

[Remaining number of contestants: 6433]

Under this list was the ranking of points within the first competition zone.

Du Gang, ranked first, had already garnered up to 210 points. This meant that he had eliminated 210 contestants.

The contestant ranked second, although not as formidable as Du Gang, had also reached 56 points.

“Second place, Xu Tian…”

Du Gang muttered, his eyes fixed on a lean man not too far away who was sustaining a threefold domain.

Just now, when he approached this man at one-third the speed of light, his attack missed.

This was the first time in the competition zone that someone had evaded his attack.

In the Killing Field, Fu Wenrui almost died in a split second but barely managed to dodge Du Gang’s attack.

Of course, this was not to say that Xu Tian in front of him could be compared with Fu Wenrui. However, Xu Tian sustained his domain at all times in the first competition zone and made the first move as soon as he sensed movement from afar. That’s how he managed to dodge it.

In the Killing Field, both were teleported into the battlefield at the same time with their domains not yet activated, so that’s why Fu Wenrui nearly lost to his opponent then.

Back then, he told Du Gang that if he was fast enough, he might have been able to ambush someone with a threefold domain.

What he meant was, in the Killing Field, if the contestant with the threefold domain hadn’t activated his domain, then Du Gang might have been able to take advantage with his speed and outwit him.

But when the threefold domain was fully activated, it would be a bit harder.

Just like now, Du Gang had launched three attacks continuously but couldn’t defeat his opponent.

The main reason was that his opponent had a threefold domain, whereas he had a twofold domain.

Xu Tian also got a shock after seeing Du Gang’s name. He defended cautiously and didn’t dare to attack.

Noticing that Du Gang couldn’t defeat him after several attempts, he finally said, “Brother, I am a threefold domain user. If we fight, it would not only be a waste of time, but accidents might happen..

“How about this? We each choose a direction and proceed. After we clean up the other opponents in our competition zone, we can settle the scores?”

Xu Tian was worried. Du Gang’s points total was frightening. Despite seeming like a twofold domain user, what if Du Gang had other terrifying means? Now, he had only 56 points. If he were eliminated now, he might not make it to the next level!

After hearing this, Du Gang didn’t object. For a threefold domain user, once the domain was fully activated, it would be challenging to defeat him.

After contemplating for a minute, he nodded and said, “Okay!”

Xu Tian was relieved. While carefully maintaining his domain, he suggested, “Brother, since you came from the east and I from the west, let’s choose a direction each. You head north, and I go south. The next time we cross paths, we will switch directions. We continue this until only the two of us are left.

Then we can have a showdown?”

Du Gang nodded, decisively heading north without any hesitation.

Seeing him disappearing in a flash of light, Xu Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If not for the leaderboard hanging in the sky, he might have had to fight Du Gang to the death.

But the problem was, Du Gang’s points on the leaderboard were too far ahead, making him wary.

“Good thing he left. God knows where this freak show came from!”

After grumbling a bit, Xu Tian didn’t dare to let down his domain. While maintaining it, he swiftly flew south.

After flying north for a while, Du Gang suddenly noticed some fluctuations within his line of sight and instantly sped toward it.

“Boom, Boom, Boom!”

The desired location already had countless large pits, and two men were fighting inside one.

Both haven’t comprehended the domain, they fought fiercely without knowing someone had arrived nearby.

“These people, did they just come to donate points?”

Du Gang shook his head without any remorse and flew straight to the two of them.

“Crack! ”

“Crack! ”

After two sounds, his points increased by another two.

A day passed.

In this round of the selection, the first on the leaderboard was still Du Gang. His points had reached an astonishing four digits.

Compared to the second place’s more than five hundred points, Du Gang had exactly double!

This was because the planet was too large. Although Du Gang’s speed was close to one-third the speed of light, finding opponents was not quick, relying on luck.

Additionally, he had encountered Xu Tian again during this period. Both had an understanding and continued in different directions without combat.

Inside the virtual universe, within a lavishly decorated shop, Fan An and others were eating delicious food, repeatedly checking the leaderboard projected on the wall and chatting.

“Fan An, you’ve really struck gold this time!”

Ou Yun, who no longer appeared to be irritable, was sat next to Fan An, pouring wine and joking: “This meal must be on you!”

The other two also shared the sentiment that if he didn’t treat them, he couldn’t leave.

Fan An laughed heartedly: “Rest assured, brothers, not just this meal, but the next one is on me too!”

With Du Gang’s points now reaching four digits, even if he died halfway through, he would still advance!

Plus, looking at the current situation, it seemed quite challenging for Du Gang to lose the competition!

“It’s the end of the first day already, and the contestant’s positions will be updated soon. How many points do you think Du Gang can score this time?”

By now, everyone understood that the decreasing rate of Du Gang’s score was not because he was getting weaker, but because the map was too large, making it difficult to encounter other contestants.

Especially as those in the first competition zone, seeing Du Gang’s astonishing four-digit points, were scared to death, continuously hiding.

After all, in the first competition zone, most people have only comprehended the Laws’ Mystery, lacking any domain or similar. They are ordinary Stellar Level.

There were fewer than two thousand who owned a domain.

And even fewer, not even a hundred, who had a twofold domain.

Apart from those who due to having a domain wanted to advance and were continuously looking for opponents, the rest merely delivered points. All those who have only comprehended the Laws’ Mystery hidden themselves.

They were aware of their predicament and knew they would not advance. However, they didn’t want to be eliminated too soon, they didn’t want to leave the competition zone so quickly.

Even as extras, they wanted to stay a bit longer.

Inside the first competition zone.

Upon the completion of the first day, the positions of all contestants were revealed instantly.

Du Gang quickly noticed a place where numerous light dots had gathered. There were 44 people upon a rough count.

‘Grouping up?

Du Gang checked the distance. With his speed, he could reach there in a few dozen seconds. Thus, he activated the Third Transformation and flew straight

over.

“Get ready!”

As soon as he arrived, the 44 individuals acted as if facing a formidable enemy, releasing their domains to the extreme. They stood their ground, watching Du Gang, ready to fight as if an agreement was not reached.

When they saw Du Gang’s name, suddenly, everyone became even more tightly packed together.

Du Gang noticed that all forty-four of these people were Rank Two Domain users.

“You’ve formed an alliance?”

The leader of the forty-four stepped forward and said, “Indeed, Du Gang. We know you’re strong, but with the forty-four of us combined, we’re not too shabby… you should try finding someone else!”

Du Gang glanced at their name tags and realized that most of the high-ranking participants from third place onwards were present.

After pondering for a moment, he chuckled and responded, “Fine then, since you’ve said so, I’ll focus on the low-hanging fruit first. When they’re all eliminated, we can fight!”

The forty-four members of the alliance were overjoyed and loudly praised Du Gang for his fairness.

Du Gang shook his head and quickly left, heading towards other points of light he had previously remembered.

Just like before, he felt these people were not easy to kill.

Even though he possessed the Third Transformation, making him much faster than the others, that didn’t mean he had the power to instantly kill everyone.

If anyone could slow him down, a hit from each person would be tough to handle!

So, instead of having a life and death battle now, it would be better to wait and continue to collect the low-hanging fruit while the remaining three factions wiped out the weaker people. After this sweep, the final battle could take place!

By that time, the points would be centralized. If he killed those people, he could garner more points, saving him the trouble of running around everywhere.

In his opinion, he was one faction, Xu Tian as a Rank Three Domain user was another, and the Rank Two Domain users alliance was the third.

Ultimately, this Rank Two Domain alliance was formed due to the pressure Du Gang exerted.

His pace in gaining points was terrifying, it was as if he was running over all his competitors.

This made the Rank Two Domain users feel quite fearful.

After all, they were each the first seeded competitors from their respective galaxies. They stood a great chance of advancing to the final selection, but now they had encountered an extremely powerful competitor in the first block. If they were eliminated early, it would be such a pity!

So, out of necessity, once these people realized Du Gang’s power was significantly greater than theirs, they quickly formed an alliance. In fact, there were other alliances on the other side of the planet as well.

One was an alliance of twenty Rank Two Domain users.

One was an alliance of fifty Rank One Domain users.

The final one was an alliance of more than thirty Rank One Domain users.

As for alliances composed of practitioners on the level of understanding the mysteries of the Laws, there were a few before, but Du Gang and other alliances had eliminated them…

In block one, if one’s power did not reach Domain level, they could not form an alliance for self-preservation.

For the rest of the half day, Du Gang relied on his memory and obtained more than fifty points before he stopped.

In the sky, the remaining number of people in the first block had dwindled to just over three thousand. Numerous contestants started to hide like players in a game of hide and seek.

Finding them one by one was too time-consuming.

Therefore, Du Gang gave it some thought, and decided to let it be. After all, he currently had over one thousand points, more than enough to advance to the next round. It might be better to wait for more points to accumulate before he killed the stronger contestants to seize their points.

Hence, he casually chose a mountain peak, activated his Secret Domain, and sat cross-legged to start meditating.

The Mystery Law that he had been using for quite some time had reached a fifty percent mastery level. So, he planned to use this opportunity to further consolidate his understanding.

In the course of this half day, the rankings in the thousand blocks of White Dragon Mountain changed significantly.

Du Gang, who was originally in first place, was overtaken by someone else!

[First place, Zhao Biao, Points: 2105, Block Forty-five] [Second Place, Du Gang, Points: 1566, Block One] [Third Place, Zuo Qiu, Points: 1523, Block Ninety-three]

[Fourth Place, Yuan Yao, Points: 1345, Block Twenty-three]

At this moment, the top ten in the overall ranking underwent significant changes.

Out of the original top ten, besides Du Gang and Zhao Biao, the other eight were all Wind Element, Rank Two or Three Domain users.

But now, as time passed, weaker contestants were becoming harder to find. Those stronger contestants who could seize points from others with more points were gradually gaining an upper hand.

This caused the leading Wind Element contestants to abruptly lose their advantage.

For example, when Du Gang encountered the alliance of forty-four, if he had been a Rank Three Domain user, he would have definitely engaged in battle with them.

Therefore, powerhouses like Zhao Biao and Zuo Qiu held a clear advantage when they encountered such alliances, providing a golden opportunity for them to surpass others!

You could say that as time passed, there were fewer and fewer weaker competitors. This significantly reduced the opportunities for Wind Element users and caused the points of stronger competitors to increase accordingly.

Inside the virtual universe.

“As I expected, I knew Du Gang was a Wind Element user. By using his superior speed in the early stages, he killed a considerable number of weak players and obtained many points… ”

“I believe with the passage of time, it will be challenging for Du Gang to even stay within the top 100, not to mention the top 10…”

“Yes, after all, Block One has Xu Tian, a Rank Three Domain powerhouse!”

All the people in White Dragon Mountain think Du Gang no longer has a chance. Despite being able to advance, he is no longer first place.

Before, when Du Gang left everyone else in the dust and led by a significant margin, people thought he was an unworldly powerhouse.

Some even speculated that Du Gang might be a Rank Five Domain user. But, such theories disintegrated into thin air in that moment.

Instantaneously, on the trending topics leaderboard of White Dragon Mountain, Du Gang’s heat index plummeted to third place.

The top two spots were occupied by Zhao Biao and Zuo Qiu.

People started to analyze the abilities and previous records of these two.

Zhao Biao, aged 4533, from the Small Fish Galaxy, Planet Level Ninth Rank, Rank Four Domain user, Fire Element…

Zuo Qiu, 4026 years old, from the New Winter Galaxy, Planet Level Ninth Rank, Rank Four Domain user, Lightning Element…

After all, such young powerhouses who have reached Rank Four Domain are the center of everyone’s attention.

Meanwhile, Du Gang was labeled as someone similar to Yuan Yao, speedy but lacking in stamina.

And so, time passed day by day.

Except for going out to hunt for a while when he refreshed his memories of the points of light each day, Du Gang spent the rest of his time inside the mountain, cultivating.

Meanwhile, something happened in the outside world that caught everyone in the virtual universe of White Dragon Mountain by surprise.

On the fifteenth day after the opening of the preliminary knockout round.

[The competition in Block Twenty-three has ended. The sole survivor is Yuan

Yao…]

[Yuan Yao has advanced directly to the top 100. The final ranking will be decided based on the final scores]

“I didn’t expect Yuan Yao to be the first person to emerge victorious!”

“Yeah, I thought that with his abilities, he’d certainly be behind Zhao Biao and Zuo Qiu…”

“Actually, it’s normal. He is a Wind Element user and a Rank Three Domain user. I looked it up; in his block, he was the only Rank Three Domain user. So being the first to emerge victorious is normal!”

“Yeah, but the final ranking will only be determined a month from now!”

“It really is exciting.. I wonder who will ultimately win the championship of this preliminary knockout race in White Dragon Mountain, Zhao Biao, Zuo Qiu, or this Yuan Yao!”
