The Qualifying Contest is the last stage of the competition that has subdivisions.
This ti, the subdivisions are divided based on advanced cosmic nations.
Each advanced cosmic nation is considered a subdivision, making a total of ten thousand subdivisions.
In the Pangu Continental division, the competitors eligible for the qualifying contest are a total of ten thousand people who have advanced from the mid-level cosmic nations, as well as ninety thousand people who have been selected from the mainland of Pangu itself.
In the Pangu Continental division, a total of a hundred thousand people are participating in this qualifying contest, and the top hundred selected from them will qualify for the main tournant.
“Where is Chen Yixuan?”
“I’m not sure, he hasn’t co to participate, seems like he’s still in that ruin…”
“This guy, he was the number one, doesn’t he plan to participate in the Genius
Race anymore?”
“Impossible, he specifically ca all the way from Penglai Island to our Pangu
Continent, isn’t it just to advance from here?”
“What do you an?”
“Obviously, it’s because it’s hard to advance from Penglai Island, so he ca to Pangu Continent…”
“Ah? In that case, why didn’t Penglai Island send more people over…”
“What are you thinking, Chen Yixuan can co over because he has a branch here in the Pangu Continent. His family started from here, they have their ancestral ho here, so he can participate in the competition here…”
“There’s only five minutes left, is Chen Yixuan really not coming?”
In the virtual universe, close to a hundred thousand people gathered on a not too large island, all were competitors of the Pangu Continental Qualifier.
At this mont, there are two leaderboards at the top of this small island.
One of them, displaying the rankings of ten thousand affiliated dium cosmic nations, with Du Gang impressively in first place. In his status column, in addition to his points and combat record, you can also see his online status.
The other, showing the rankings of the Pangu Continental division, Chen Yixuan was number one, his status indicated he was offline.
Just like that, five minutes passed. By the last second, no one saw Chen Yixuan appearing online.
“Oh my god, Chen Yixuan really didn’t co!”
“Even though he’s number one, didn’t he end up neglecting it for a rickety ruin?”
“And not just him, didn’t you see, a lot of the top-ranking hundred in the Pangu division hadn’t joined up?”
“Moreover, of the top five hundred people, at least over three hundred are not present…”
“Are these guys actually stuck in the ruins and don’t want to leave?”
Hearing these words, Du Gang touched his nose.
Those three hundred people were all staying in his own internal world, so even if they wanted to participate, they couldn’t.
“Ah, in that case, won’t I be the first place in the Pangu division in this qualifying contest?”
A person who ranked a little over a hundred said excitedly.
“Be careful, among the ten thousand people who advanced from the affiliated divisions, the first place is that Ancient God, his strength is not to be underestimated…”
“Ancient God? Is nothing but a Sector Lord at the first rank, even if he’s a genius, he is nothing more than a bystander this ti!”
Hearing these words, Du Gang carefully looked at the na above the man’s head and morized it.
“ng Chang, watch your mouth, that Ancient God is right behind you!” Soone recognized Du Gang’s gaze, and quickly warned.
ng Chang turned his head and saw that indeed, the Ancient God he had seen in the news before was standing not far away watching him, expressionless.
“Heh!”
He sneered and said, “So what if he’s looking at ?”
“You are nothing but a re Sector Lord at the first rank, and I’m a Sector Lord at the fourth rank. Even if you are a divine body, so what? This ti, I, ng Chang, will teach you a lesson!”
Du Gang grinned and said, “Kid, rember what you said, don’t cry for daddy when the ti cos!”
Just then, the system prompt appeared.
[The rules for the current phase are ‘knock out’, each participant will initially receive a thousand points. The maximum points awarded for winning are a hundred points, and the maximum points deducted for losing are a hundred points…] [The competition is about to start, the teleportation starts now!]
“Wow!”
As the system’s audio played, countless flashes of white light appeared, and everyone was teleported away from this waiting area.
When Du Gang reappeared, he was already standing on the battlefield.
His opponent is a Sector Lord at second rank, who looked incredibly excited to see Du Gang.
“Good man, I actually run into you, today, I will prove myself by slaying a god…”
For such an arrogant guy, Du Gang couldn’t be bothered to respond to him, he remained silent and waited for the competition to begin.
[The competition starts!]
The mont the system prompt fell, There was a slight tremor of Du Gang’s body. In the next second, his opponent instantly turned into a beam of white light and vanished.
“Where am I? Who am I?”
The opponent didn’t even know what was happening after he left the battlefield.
“The qualifying contest of Pangu Continent, it’s not challenging for at all!” Du Gang defeated several people very easily, and said calmly.
Indeed, even Chen Yixuan, who was originally the top-ranked player in the Pangu division, had been caught by him. How could there be any formidable competitors?!
Shortly after the competition started, Du Gang killed off his opponents quickly and won the highest points.
[Ranking: 1st place, Du Gang, 1700 points…]
“Has Du Gang already won seven tis in a row?”
“Not only that, he defeated the opponents in all seven matches within six seconds…”
“Look carefully, the second and third places also have 1700 points, but Du Gang is ranked higher. This ans that Du Gang kills his opponents faster than they do!”
“Is the Ancient God that strong? He’s only a Domain Lord Level Rank One…”
So people could not help but exclaim in awe.
“Powerful? I don’t think he’s that formidable…
“If you guys had carefully analyzed Du Gang’s competition records, you would have found that he often takes the lead at the beginning of every competition he participated in…”
“This is because his speed is very fast, allowing him a temporary lead.
However, in reality, he can’t maintain this for long!”
“Looks like it’s true. I’ve seen it myself. In previous competitions, he always takes the lead early on, but lags behind later…”
Du Gang didn’t know about these criticisms, he was a little bored at the mont as his opponents were too weak.
More than three hundred of the top five hundred participants in this Pangu competition zone were caught by him in advance, making the competition completely dull.
For these three hundred people not participating, let alone the ordinary participants and viewers feeling surprised, even the elders of their families were baffled.
“Is this the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition? Isn’t participating in this competition more important than obtaining Saint Crystals in the ruins?”
“Exactly, it’s not like the family can’t spare one or two Sector Lords, yet they chose to stay in the ruins…”
“They are so foolish, for the family, their participation in the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition would be more beneficial…”
As the competition progressed, with the passage of ti, Du Gang’s score continued to increase, even creating a significant gap with the second place.
“Who will be able to stop Du Gang?”
Online, there were still quite a few people with a strong sense of territoriality who didn’t want Du Gang to take the first place.
They felt uneasy seeing a participant from a lower-class star region taking the position that should have belonged to their natives.
“Can the participants of this generation succeed or not?”
“Right, your generation is too bad, letting a participant from a lower-class star region dominate the first place for so long…”
On the internet, so older folks had already started criticizing the participants of this generation.
Although many of them hadn’t even participated in the elimination matches, this didn’t stop them from expressing their views. Suddenly, soone on the internet started shouting.
“ng Chang is up against Du Gang!”
“They’re about to face each other. ng Chang is a powerful competitor within the top 100. He is currently the highest-ranking participant in our Pangu competition zone!”
The audience was also helpless, as the top hundred participants in this qualifying contest had all entered the ruins and hadn’t co out yet, therefore they were naturally considered to have given up the competition. This left them no choice but to pin their hopes on ng Chang.
“ng Chang, take down Du Gang!” “ng Chang, it’s ti for you to prove yourself!”
“Bring honor to the Pangu Continent!”
Not that they needed to say it, at this mont ng Chang, standing on the stage and confronting Du Gang from a distance, was constantly sneering. “Ancient God, do you think you’re so powerful?”
“Do you think you can always dominate the top spot with your score?” “I’m telling you, from this match onward, you’re going to experience your first defeat…”
“And you will keep losing, until you’re eliminated!”
Du Gang glanced at ng Chang’s score and calmly said, “I’m sorry, but with a score difference of about twenty thousand points between us, even if you beat , you won’t make it to the top spot…”
He opened his mouth in a grin, and said, “Moreover, you won’t make it to the top spot either!”
His words were truly piercing.
ng Chang glared at him vehently, “Kid, you have thirty seconds to act wildly. I’ll show you once the countdown is over!”
Du Gang smiled, “Well, you’ve taken all the lines. In that case, I’ll finish you in one second…”
Just like that, amidst their verbal spar, the match countdown ca to an end and the match officially began.
“Die for !”
ng Chang, sporting a malicious grin, yelled out loud.
The next mont, white light flickered.
In the blink of an eye, he had already left the stage, implying, he lost!
At this mont, all the spectators who were focused on the match between Du Gang and ng Chang, were completely dumbfounded. “What happened? How did ng Chang lose?!” “Exactly, how did Du Gang win?
“The match just began, where did he disappear to?”
Everyone was shocked, not knowing what had happened. “Was there so behind-the-scenes maneuver?”
“I suspect, it might be the work of the Kong Family…”
“Very likely, I heard that there are mbers of the Kong Family in the organizing committee, this possibility can’t be ruled out…”
“Not just that, do you guys think Chen Yixuan and the others might have been taken away by the Kong Family?”
“I think it’s possible, the Kong Family may have used such thods to help the Ancient God advance…”
Suddenly, the internet was filled with suspicions about the fairness and impartiality of the match. The question of whether the Kong Family had aided Du Gang in cheating beca a hot topic.
Standing on the waiting continent, ng Chang was dumbstruck.
“Where am I?”
“Who am I?”
“What happened?”
The next second, he reacted. Furious, he exclaid, “Organizing Committee, I want to appeal. I haven’t even fought yet. How can I lose?”
As a contestant, he had the right to appeal. However, to prevent malicious appeals from disrupting the order of the competition and wasting the ti of the organizing committee’s staff, the penalty for a failed complaint was very severe.
[Player ng Chang, do you have any objections to the last match and wish to appeal?]
“Yes, I’m sure. The last match was rigged. I want to appeal!”
ng Chang shouted, “No, I want to proceed with a public appeal!!” This kind of appeal was not only open to him but could be seen by everyone on the continent.
He was already sure that Du Gang must have cheated. So, he wanted to show Du Gang’s ugly face to everyone on the continent. He wanted to let everyone know that he, ng Chang, was not inferior in skills, but had suffered unfair treatnt.
This ti, he wanted his na to spread across the entire Pangu Continent!
He wanted to leave his na in history!
Yes, for him, a successful appeal, which would discredit the organizing committee, was also a way to leave his na in history!
After all, the organizing committee has always been very confident in their virtual universe algorithm. This ti, he would slap them in the face!
Everyone on the Pangu Continent saw ng Chang’s appeal and the entire continent was boiling!
“Well done!”
“Good job, ng Chang!”
“We should say ‘no’ to such unfair and unjust things!”
“What kind of a person is this Du Gang, I will social-sha him within a minute!”
“He dared to cheat, he deserves this!” “That’s right, let’s disgrace Du Gang!”
“Do you think it’s just him?”
“Not just him, even the organizing committee seniors who helped him cheat will be out of luck this ti!”
On the internet, there were overwhelming calls to disgrace Du Gang.
Everyone overwhelmingly supported ng Chang.
Feeling this surge of support, ng Chang was filled with pride. At the sa ti, he was glad that he had encountered Du Gang and could expose a fraud. “Don’t worry, brothers, this ti, Du Gang is finished!”
In this way, amidst the shouts of the crowd, the Organizing Committee released the video of the match between Du Gang and ng Chang.
In addition to the release, to cater to the netizens, they kindly added a slow-motion feature of 10,000 tis and 1,000,000 tis.
Seeing that the organizing committee had released the video, ng Chang quickly opened the video and started watching it.
This ti, almost everyone was alard. After all, this was an appeal during the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition, an event that only happens twice in 10,000 years, naturally attracted many people’s attention.
Everyone, just like ng Chang, opened the video and started watching the replay.
In the slow-motion video at 10,000 tis: Du Gang was still standing in place, but his hand seed to have moved a bit.
“What’s going on? Just a hand movent?”
Everyone was confused. They quickly opened the 1,000,000 tis slow-motion replay.
This ti, everyone understood.
In the video, Du Gang turned into a blurry shadow, reached ng Chang in an instant, then swung his arm and slapped his face hard. Imdiately after, ng Chang turned into a ray of white light.
During this process, Du Gang even raised his other hand and gave ng Chang the middle finger, a gesture he didn’t even notice.
Looking at the last fra of the video where the middle finger was shown, everyone felt an incredible shock.
This middle finger, without the appeal, the commotion, and the 1,000,000 tis slow-motion replay, none of them would have seen it.
But the result was just this…
At this mont, everyone who had questioned Du Gang felt their faces burning!
Among these people, the most heartbroken one was ng Chang.
At this mont, he no longer cared about the imminent penalty from the organizing committee. What truly tornted him was the gap between him and Du Gang.
“The gap is too great. The enemy made a move, and I didn’t even see it clearly before I died…”
“How ridiculous, I was taunting him before the match. This ti, I really lost face…”
People on the internet didn’t know about ng Chang’s remorse. Once they recognized Du Gang’s strength, they began to ponder a question. “Will Du Gang win this qualifying contest?”
“If Chen Yixuan and others were here, could Du Gang still be the first?”
Basically, everyone recognized that Du Gang was certain to be the first in this qualifying contest because he had no competitors!
Even ng Chang, who was currently ranked the highest and the strongest, lost to Du Gang in one move. Who else could stop him?!
And just like that, amidst everyone’s disputes, the competition eventually reached its conclusion.
The first-place victor was announced. This ti, without defying anyone’s expectations, Du Gang erged as the top contender, successfully advancing to the Qualifying Contest!
Although he took the first place, it was sowhat disappointing for the citizens of the Pangu Continent.
“If Chen Yixuan and the others were here, Du Gang certainly wouldn’t have taken first place!
“Yes, if Chen Yixuan and the others hadn’t entered the ruins, or if they had returned to participate, Du Gang wouldn’t be the first…’
“If those guys ca back, I reckon Du Gang wouldn’t even stand within the top hundred…’
“Actually, it’s mainly because ng Chang is too trash, that’s why Du Gang stood a chance…”
At this mont, an online host suddenly stepped forward.
“Let make this clear. Du Gang can never defeat Chen Yixuan as Chen Yixuan is not only a Fourth Rank Sector Lord but also has grasped a trace of the Original Law…”
“Do you know about the Original Law? It’s sothing only Eternal Level powerhouses can comprehend…”
“Anyone who comprehends the Original Law at the Sector Lord Level would inevitably be a generation’s genius…”
Confronting so people’s doubts, Wang Jian confidently declared: “After this ruin concludes, Chen Yixuan and the others will definitely appear. By then, they will surely challenge Du Gang…”
“I can guarantee, Du Gang will definitely lose to Chen Yixuan!”
“If he could defeat Chen Yixuan, I would eat my keyboard!”
As for the vigorous online argunts, Du Gang didn’t bother paying too much attention. He didn’t have the leisure to dispute these matters.
At this mont, he was sifting through the internal network of the Virtual Universe Company to select cultivation techniques.
With twenty days left until the ruins close, compared to going in to capture people or find Saint Crystals, Du Gang chose to remain outside to cultivate laws.
Because he has already captured more than 300 geniuses, based on 200 Saint Crystals per person, he could gain at least 60,000 Saint Crystals. This abundant energy is more than enough for him to advance from the Sector Lord Level to the Eternal Level.
This ti, after winning the first place in the Pangu Continent competition, he didn’t participate in any assessnts and was directly promoted by the Virtual Universe Company to the status of a personal disciple.
The only difference between him and the other disciples was that others had a master, but he did not!
Just as Kong Xu said, because he was an Ancient God, no one dared to take him as a disciple!
However, Du Gang wasn’t particularly interested in taking a master. He didn’t mind this at all.
He was currently selecting cultivation techniques on the internal network. After being promoted, the company naturally granted him the privilege to select two cultivation techniques, and both of these techniques were of high rank.
This ant that he could directly choose techniques that were accompanied by nine mysteries!
Such advanced techniques are truly worth it.
So, Du Gang casually chose two Gold Elent techniques, both possessing nine layers and accompanied by nine different Gold Elent Laws mysteries.
“Ultimate Gold Secret Book,” Du Gang casually picked up this technique and began to cultivate.
As early as when he advanced to the Domain Lord Level, he realized that he
couldn’t continually rank up through energy alone.
Aside from energy, he also needed to fully comprehend these Law mysteries.
Therefore, even if he has enough energy to advance to the Eternal Level after twenty days, he would still be unable to ascend if he doesn’t comprehend the Laws in place.
Unlike the spear techniques he had learned before, the “Ultimate Gold Secret Book” was purely about Laws mystery cultivation thods. Each layer contained only the cultivation thod for a mystery and didn’t include any associated attack thods.
Perhaps because he had previously cultivated the nine Gold Elent Laws mysteries to perfection, or it could be due to him having a glimpse of the Gold Elent Original Law mysteries, Du Gang made rapid progress when cultivating new Gold Elent Laws mysteries.
Previously, it took him an average of about ninety days or three months to cultivate a Laws mystery to perfection, now it only takes him nine days to achieve it.
When he reached the third layer of “Ultimate Gold Secret Book”, the artifact ruins, which had been open for a month, finally started to collapse.
Those who were inside finally exited.
What shocked everyone was that this ti, a vast number of Sector Lords entered, probably over a million, but the number of those who exited was halved.
These signify that at least half of the powerhouses inside the ruins had perished!
However, undoubtedly, everyone who ca out seed satisfied, clearly indicating that they had gained nurous treasures.
But netizens were more interested in Chen Yixuan than these events.
“Where is Chen Yixuan?”
“Chen Yixuan, hurry up and challenge Du Gang!”
rely in a day’s ti, the trending topic of #ChenYixuan challenges Du Gang hit the top spot on the Pangu Continent.
“What’s going on?”
Many of those erging from the ruins were perplexed and didn’t know what was going on.
Not until soone broke it down for them did they shockingly discover that Du Gang had actually won the Qualifying Contest in the Pangu Continent Competition area!
“How is that possible? He was clearly at Rank One of the Sector Lord Level, how did he get first place?”
“Exactly, if I rember correctly, during the elimination rounds, the worst of the 90,000 contestants who advanced to the Qualifying Contest from our Pangu Continent were also at Rank One of the Sector Lord Level, there even existed a Fourth Rank Sector Lord. How co Du Gang won?”
Everyone was perplexed.
Rank at the Sector Lord Level isn’t the sa as before. At this level, every rank represented vast differences in strength. Winning the first place across three realms?
Almost everyone’s attention was on Du Gang, unconsciously overlooking the second place.
Nobody paid attention to, or subconsciously forgot about the second place.
The runner-up of the Qualifying Contest was Qiao Jin, another person from the White Dragon Mountain like Du Gang.
At this mont, he showcased a Fourth Rank Sector Lord’s strength, ultimately securing the second place.
But just as everyone was waiting for Chen Yixuan to challenge Du Gang, the Chen family suddenly announced: “Chen Yixuan has gone missing. He didn’t leave the ruins….”
