Rebirth: The New Game of Life

Chapter 297: Grand Tournament Final's First Stage - Part 1

During the time that Liu Yang was playing doctor and taking advantage of Zi Wei, something else had happened in the Second World. It was the final stage of the Grand Tournament of the Alliance.

Going back in time

The first part of the final round of the big tournament will take place in four of the great stages that belonged to the alliance in the Second World, an arena for each tournament. The audience was divided between the four competitions, however, all the seats were occupied.

A few months earlier, the Mercantile Alliance announced the placements according to the performance of the extra challenge.

Zi Jiao was in group 1, which was the group where those who reached the third floor of the Tower of Illusions, while group 6 was the group where those who arrived on the eighth floor. As no one managed to get on the ninth and tenth floor, they were separated until the eighth floor.

The form of the tournament will be elimination, all the people in group one will fight each other within a large arena, the thousand people who stay in the arena will be those who will go to the second phase. Group 1 had a total of twenty thousand people, group 2 had five thousand, group 3 had one thousand, group 4 had three hundred, group 5 had one hundred, group 6 had fifteen, group 7 had five and group 8 had only one person.

The person who gave the speech was the matriarch, she spoke only a few words of encouragement before officially starting the tournament. Those in Group 1 were already waiting inside the arena, the goal was to stay inside the arena for five hours or until there were only a thousand people when the number of participants reaches that number, the match will be automatically closed.

Thus, they could use any type of tactic to throw the opponents out of the arena, those who managed to remain inside the arena successfully will pass to the second stage, which was to fight against group 2.

The person could surrender by shouting "I surrender," the person would be transported immediately out of the arena. It was forbidden to kill in the arena, those who break this rule will be punished with disqualification.

The arena was a gigantic square the size of fifty football fields, and each participant was far from one another, had been strengthened to withstand the powers of fifty thousand people, and there was a protective barrier that was hundreds of meters in around the arena like a circle. The barrier was to protect viewers from the violent attacks of the arena.

With the sound of a gong, participants began to charge toward other participants. Thousands of lights began to appear in the arena, and large explosions appeared soon after.

Zi Jiao was in the eastern part of the arena, she was wearing a set of heavy armor she bought a few days before, her gloves and boots were the heavier parts of the set and were reinforced with other heavy metals.

On her back were a large number of participants, Zi Jiao was the target of several participants for wearing heavy armor because they thought she would have difficulties to move.

Several lights appeared around her, but before it could reach her, Zi Jiao stomps heavily on the ground and jumped an extremely large distance, her speed was extremely fast.

Coming close to one of the contestants who conjured a spell on her, Zi Jiao used her feet to kick him, as her items were extremely heavy. The shock broke the defense of the armor and the bones of the chest, the competitor was like an arrow fired from the bow after Zi Jiao's kick, he hit the barrier before falling to the ground.

The crowd who watched this scene were shocked because they never imagined that Zi Jiao had so much force to the point of breaking someone's defense and a few more bones. Looking at her with the vision skills, everyone realized that she was a goddess of brute force, her innate talent and class were perfect combinations.

After doing research on Zi Jiao, they discovered that she was an employee of the Heavenly Palace and was taken by Liu Yang as his maid, and rumor has it that he accepted her as his concubine. The young people who heard this were all envious and jealous of Liu Yang, he already had two powerful and influential wives, now there was one more. Where is justice in that?

Zi Jiao began to jump through the arena, each jumping, hundreds of meters were traversed, and a powerful kick was given, she sent dozens of participants out of the arena with this method.

The other participants realized what was happening and began to move away from it, as they did not want to be thrown out of the arena. As the other participants were avoiding her, Zi Jiao did not chase them, she just stood in a place far from the edge. She would only attack those who had her target.

Several groups were formed to facilitate the process of eliminating the participants, some of these groups had conflicts with each other, so several fights began to emerge. Those who were stronger than the others and were alone, no one bothered them because they knew that it would be extremely difficult to beat this kind of person.

Zi Jiao did not have much of a problem, no one dared to challenge her for a fight since no one on the spot could compare to her in a relation of brute force. All it took was one kick to be sent out of the arena, who would take that risk?

In the arena, there were also other people like Zi Jiao who were extremely powerful in combat, even if not in terms of brute force. Some of them had powerful items, while others had spells and strange abilities.

In the first four hours of fighting, fifteen thousand people were already disqualified, but there were still five thousand, out of five thousand, only a thousand could be in the arena. The last minute will be the most critical moment of the competition as it was the moment when everyone began to take it seriously and use the trumps to stay in the arena.

Among these five thousand people, there were only three hundred who were alone, the rest were in a group. No one had the courage to face those who were alone, especially Zi Jiao.

Many saw her play a group of thirteen participants out of the arena with a giant fan, Zi Jiao opened the fan and hit those who wanted to attack her, with each blow, a person from the group was sent out of the arena. This scene shocked everyone at the scene as they realized that she had the greatest advantage of all in this challenge, which was brute force.

Zi Jiao just needed to push the other players out of the arena with her strength, and no one could fight. This made her a feared person within the arena. After the scene in which she threw an entire group out of the arena, no other group attempted to attack her.

Because of this, Zi Jiao spent most of the time standing still, she was watching the others struggle to stay inside the arena.

With just ten minutes to go, the group members began to separate and fight each other, as each of them also wanted a spot, and there would not be enough space for everyone.

In the desperation of the final minutes, quick battles appeared in various parts of the arena in an attempt to push others out of the arena as quickly as possible. In the end, several groups were broken and betrayals occurred.

When the timer arrived at 00:00, inside the arena there were only nine hundred and ninety-eight people, two less than the maximum. These people were rated for the next step that would happen in five days.

Zi Jiao was taken by a trustworthy member of the matriarch to the Xiao clan, inside Xiao Xi's courtyard, the women celebrated with Zi Jiao because she had gone on to the next round of the big tournament.
