Guan Tong looked at the dazzling array of challenge lists. Less than half an hour after the rule began, the number of created challenge items had already exceeded six figures.
He browsed through so challenges and felt the creators were a bit reckless. Many challenges were too generic, sothing anyone and their dog could participate in. The lack of significant restrictions undoubtedly ant the competition would be extrely fierce.
"Because this isn't a survival-type rule, many people are treating it rather casually, huh."
Since there was no life-threatening danger, so people felt it didn't matter if they failed the challenge, so their attitude wasn't that serious.
But Guan Tong wanted to obtain more Upper Limit rewards for his Mind Power from this challenge, so he absolutely could not treat it casually.
To complete this rule challenge, if nothing else, it was best to ensure he could get first place in the challenge he created himself. That way, he would have the most basic guarantee of passing.
With that guarantee in place, he would have more confidence to try and seize first place from others.
So, what kind of challenge should I create to ensure I definitely get first place and have a guaranteed pass for the rule?
Guan Tong thought for a mont and got an idea.
He summoned Shadow and had it extend outward in the form of a shadow line.
It continued extending until it was over two hundred kiloters away before stopping.
Then, Guan Tong began creating his own challenge scenario.
Challenge: Move to a location two hundred kiloters away in the fastest ti possible.
After the challenge was created, he activated his ability.
"Body Swap."
In an instant, he swapped positions with the shadow line two hundred kiloters away. He appeared on a stretch of plains, while the shadow line returned to the small courtyard on Mingdao Mountain.
"Using the Body Swap ability to move from Mingdao Mountain to the plains two hundred kiloters away... that process took less than 0.1 seconds, right? If anyone can be faster than , then I'd truly have to admit defeat and willingly give up this first place..."
Guan Tong didn't believe anyone could complete this challenge faster than him.
Because his Body Swap ability was unique. It wasn't impossible that others might also have teleportation items or abilities, but teleporting two hundred ters and teleporting two hundred kiloters were completely different concepts.
Ten seconds later, he activated the Body Swap ability again, swapping positions once more to return to Mingdao Mountain, and then recalled Shadow.
This way, the challenge he created was completed and recorded in the challenge list.
Others could see it, perhaps through random refreshes or by searching for keywords like "distance" or "speed."
But he felt there probably wouldn't be many people coming to challenge him...
"Alright, I've created my own challenge. Ti to go look at other people's challenges." Guan Tong began seriously browsing the challenge list. "To the challenge creators I set my sights on, I can only say sorry in advance."
...
"Based on your own abilities and items, try to create a challenge that is most advantageous to yourself, ensuring you get first place and pass the rule..."
Living in the Police Departnt dormitory, Wang Yan, after reading the latest official suggestion, got an idea.
She opened her panel and created a challenge of her own.
Challenge: The highest number of milliliters of water converted to oil from now until the rule ends.
Her exclusive Mind Power item was the Oil Conversion Pot, which could turn any liquid into oil. Naturally, she had to design the challenge scenario around it.
Wang Yan didn't know if others had similar items or abilities, but she was determined to focus solely on her own challenge for these two weeks, not bothering with others, to ensure she passed the rule.
If it were before, she might not have been this serious. But now, for her daughter's sake, she had to persevere and strive to pass every rule.
...
"What kind of rule should I create?"
In the academy dormitory, Xu Xiaotian sat on his bed, thinking about his Instant Noodles item.
"What kind of challenge would let
get world number one relying on my item? Hmm... a challenge for instant noodle flavor diversification?"
Previously, after getting tired of one flavor, Xu Xiaotian tried developing more flavors and succeeded smoothly.
He could now generate noodles with various flavors, from braised beef to seafood shrimp to pickled vegetables, etc. As long as he had eaten it before, he could generate it using Mind Power.
But upon careful thought, he felt it probably wouldn't work.
This challenge was too ordinary. Any random chef could probably co up with dozens of instant noodle flavors daily. They wouldn't even need to use an item or ability to directly snatch his first place away.
Thinking it over, Xu Xiaotian's eyes finally lit up as he got an idea.
Since enrolling in August, over the past four months, he had also been continuously developing his item. Besides developing a noodle effect that could increase movent speed, he also developed noodles that could heal minor external injuries when eaten.
These effects were absolutely unique, sothing other instant noodles didn't have. This gave him inspiration.
"Got it! Based on the special effects of Mind Power instant noodles, I can create a challenge... for treating the most patients with external injuries using instant noodles during the rule period. Hehe, definitely no one will have the sa as ."
...
Suroma Empire, Eden Island.
On the vast lawn, four teammates and wives surrounded Adam, who was lying on the ground, feeding him fruits like cherries and grapes.
"Adam, have you decided what challenge to create?"
Adam, lying on the ground with his eyes narrowed, smiled and said, "How about creating a challenge for the number of wives one has?"
The four won laughed upon hearing this, but then all shook their heads, not agreeing.
One of them said, "Stop joking, Adam. Don't forget there are so special countries in the world, so still under chieftain systems. I've heard it's normal for a chieftain to have over a dozen wives, so even over a hundred."
"That's true too."
"Adam, you should design the challenge around your ability," another woman suggested. "I believe your ability is unique in the whole world. Absolutely no one can take your first place away."
The other three won also nodded upon hearing this. They all knew Adam's ability was extrely special; it was hard to imagine anyone having a similar ability.
"Getting first place in the challenge you created yourself is just the most basic foundation." Suddenly, a steady male voice ca from not far away.
They looked over and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair and blue eyes, holding a cane, walking over.
The four won imdiately stood up in surprise, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty."
This person was precisely the King of the Suroma Empire, holding an absolute, unquestionable position in this country.
Unlike the four won's cautious and deferential attitude towards the King, Adam remained lazily lying down, just raising his hand to wave in greeting. "Your Majesty, have you also co to the island to sunbathe?"
"I don't have your leisure," the King looked down at Adam. "As I just said, for this rule, you need to seize as many challenge first places as possible."
"That sounds tiring."
"This is not the ti for you to be willful. According to the Senate's speculation, the more first places one has when the rule ends, the more likely they are to receive additional rewards. You need those rewards."
The King paused, then added, "Currently, soone is selling intelligence related to the rules on a website. The Senate has sent soone to purchase it. They will notify you again after obtaining the intelligence."
"Alright, alright, I know. So, can you go back now? To be honest, you're kind of interrupting my sunbathing ti with my wives." Adam said with a sincere face.
The won beside him turned pale upon hearing this. In the entire Suroma Empire, Adam was probably the only one who dared speak to the King like this.
"Hmph..."
The King, however, did not get angry. He just snorted coldly, turned, and left, leaning on his cane.
Once he was gone, all four won let out a long sigh of relief.
"Adam, only you dare to act like this. If anyone else did this, they'd probably have been ordered executed by His Majesty..."
Adam smiled casually, not very concerned.
At that mont, one of the four won received a phone ssage. She opened it and was imdiately shocked.
"Adam, you'll definitely be interested in this. The challenge created by Lucifer has been exposed, and he exposed it himself."
"Oh? I guess that violence maniac's challenge must be related to violence, right?"
"Correct. He actually created a challenge... for 'the highest number of Ascendants killed during the rule period'! He even made it public online, hoping others will compete with him for first place. That guy is really crazy..."
The other three won also showed expressions of shock upon hearing this.
"How can there be such a perverted person? Is killing people that much fun for him?"
"... If he continues like this, he'll bring about his own destruction sooner or later." Adam sighed lightly. "What a pity."

Qingi Base.
Chen Na stayed in her room, hugging her knees while sitting on a spacious sofa. The room was large and comfortable, with all kinds of appliances available, but she felt very lonely living here.
During the seventh rule, she went on a mission with a small team ford with others for the first ti. They set out with five people and returned with only four.
The battle between their team and the official team Gu Fei ntioned gave her several nightmares, but she gradually adapted afterward.
She felt she was no longer a child. After passing that selection and joining the organization, others no longer treated her as a child either.
And eting her mother a few days ago further strengthened her resolve to grow up as quickly as possible.
Only then could she finish what needed to be done quickly, repay what she owed the organization, then leave this place to reunite and live with her mother.
"I want to create a challenge where I can definitely get first place," Chen Na whispered. "I'll use my perception ability..."
...
Tulip Federation. The man serving as the alpha wolf was in a place resembling an arena, fighting multiple beasts.
Lions, wolves, tigers, bears... He fought these powerful animals. At intervals, the corresponding tattoos on his body would beco more intense, more lifelike.
This was the characteristic of his "Beast Transformation ability." The more he understood and was familiar with the object of transformation, the greater the enhancent he could obtain during transformation, and the smaller the Mind Power consumption would beco.
"Alpha Wolf, sir." At that mont, soone ca to the arena to notify him. "The subject of your attention, Lucifer, has publicly revealed the challenge he created on the internet."
"Hmm?"
The alpha wolf knocked down a cheetah, turned, and walked to the edge of the arena to ask the person who ca to report.
"What is the challenge?"
He indeed paid close attention to Lucifer because, on Holy Grail Island, he was defeated by Lucifer. This directly led to the collapse of Operation Wolfpack, causing the Tulip Federation to fail to secure even a single top-ten ranking.
It was easy to imagine how much criticism he, as the alpha wolf, faced after that challenge tournant ended. He himself couldn't get over it and swore to take revenge on Lucifer.
"After the rule ends, compete to see who kills the most Ascendants." The reporting personnel stated concisely.
The alpha wolf was slightly taken aback, then sneered. "Interesting, competing in kill count? It seems I absolutely must snatch this first place from him."
The reporting personnel continued, "Additionally, the parliant has made a decision. This ti, they will fully ensure you, Alpha Wolf, sir, obtain more world first places. They plan to make it public after the rule ends to demonstrate the comprehensive strength of our Tulip Federation to the world."
