Rebirth: The New Game of Life

Chapter 298: Grand Tournament Final's First Stage - Part 2

Five days later, a new round of fights would begin, as there were still many people. A group battle would be held again with all six thousand participants, the arena this time would be smaller due to the number of participants.

Zi Jiao was two hundred yards from the edge of the arena, she was one of the people closest to the edge. She was wearing the same set of equipment as the previous day and sitting with her eyes closed as the vast majority of participants.

When the matriarch appeared and spoke a few words, those who were with eyes closed, opened their eyes. The challenge would start in a few seconds.

The fight time would be less than the previous fight, this time would be four hours, and the six thousand participants, there would be only a thousand left to fight against the third group.

The sound of a beating bell is heard and the fight was officially started.

To stay safe, Zi Jiao began to run close to the center of the arena, this would help her to have a little more safety when fighting. But she was not the only one who had this idea, other participants also had that intention.

As the center could not fit all, fights began to emerge, lights and explosions could be seen inside the arena. Some inattentions tried to attack Zi Jiao, but in the end, they were kicked out of the arena along with several broken bones.

New groups were formed to try to facilitate at the time of survival within the arena. There were also those who were alone and no one dared to fight against them, of the three hundred people who were alone in the previous fight, there remained only two hundred, the other hundred have already been eliminated.

The other participants did not attack Zi Jiao, on the grounds that she would just kick the opponent out of the arena, another reason was that she would not attack unless others attacked her. This left many people happy because no one wanted to fight someone who had only brute strength and an abnormal resistance like her.

The fights were getting more and more intense with each passing minute because it was less time to fight. And every second was precious.

Zi Jiao was one of the people who were unconcerned, but she did not lower her guard. Whenever anyone tried to reach within fifty yards of her, she would immediately hit the ground and attack before returning to the place she was. Many realized this and tried their best not to get close to her.

The seconds turned into minutes, the minutes turned into hours.

When there was only an hour left to finish the fight, there were still two thousand participants, it was still necessary to eliminate another thousand, but there were already 100 guaranteed places, that were the people who were standing and that no one had the courage to get close to them.

Thus, there were only nine hundred places remaining for the next phase, the thousand and nine hundred people began to form larger groups in the attempt to have more chances of the passing of phase. In the end, all those who came from a great clan or sect, and had no enmity among themselves, formed a group, those who were enmity with the first group formed the second group, and the third group was those who came from humbler clans.

The two groups came together to eliminate the third, so only those who were of influential funds would remain. After they had expelled ninety-nine percent of those who came from the middle and humble backgrounds, the two groups began to fight each other.

There were a few hundred people standing around watching the fight between the groups, they were the ones who managed to survive with their own strength and scaring the opponents.

The two groups fought fiercely, but the fight was still at a standstill due to the fact that the two sides were extremely influential funds and the best fighters selected for the tournament, so each one's skill was extremely powerful.

To break this balance of strength, one of the groups hired some of those who were standing, offering rare items in exchange for help. For this tempting offer, no one would refuse, some who were standing began to move against the opponents of the person who hired him.

The same was true for the other group, they also hired some of those who were standing. The hired group only attacked the members of the opposing group, they did not attack each other.

After twenty minutes of heavy fighting, the arena had only a thousand participants. Due to the help of those who were unemployed, many young people who came from influential backgrounds passed, but many were also disqualified for having given up or been thrown out of the arena.

The stage was over and would continue in two days, this was to give some rest to the participants before they fight again.

Zi Jiao returned to the courtyard of Xiao Xi being escorted again, the women celebrated for the fact that no one dared fight Zi Jiao from the front because she was invincible in this aspect, at least among those who were below rank 5.

The two days went by quickly, the group 3's fight would start. As there were only two thousand participants, the size of the arena was diminished again. The fighting time was three hours, and in the end, there would be only two hundred participants left.

This time, fortunately, Zi Jiao began near the center, but also to chance, there were three people who had the level higher than the 500 and rank 5. This made things more difficult for her.

At the sound of the bell, the fight was started.

This time, there was no one stopped, everyone started looking for opponents to fight because as there were people with rank 5, it would be extremely difficult to know who the survivors would be.

The three in rank 5 did nothing, they sat cross-legged and with their eyes closed, it was as if the people around were just ants. That was true, for those who advanced to rank 5 were like gods to those who were in rank 4 or below.

Zi Jiao started striding as she used the oriental fan to hit the other participants and send them out of the arena, she did not hold herself and used maximum force in all strokes.

Some had already formed groups in advance and seeing those who stood in the previous round attacking like wild beasts, several groups focused on these people.

But for the bad luck of the groups that were focusing on people like Zi Jiao, these people formed their own group and began to defeat the groups that were attacking them.

Zi Jiao accepted to be part of this group because they preferred to do their own thing until the time to fight each other. Zi Jiao's group began to defeat everyone advancing against them.

Even before the time had come to zero, there were already two hundred people in the arena. Zi Jiao's group lost forty percent of the members, this was still quite a large number of people, a total of fifteen. While the other vacancies were distributed to the other groups.

After the fight with Group 3 was over, there were another seven days of rest before they fought against Group 4.

The group 4 fight will no longer be in an arena fighting each other, this time it would be one against one. Two participants would fight each other, those who win will advance. Of the total of five hundred people, only two hundred and fifty will pass.

After the fight round is over, the losers can choose a winner to fight, only a winner can be chosen once if someone has already chosen, that person cannot be chosen again.

In the middle of the arena was a large black box containing balls numbered 1 to 500, each participant will choose one, the number 1 will fight against the number 2, the number 3 will fight against the number 4, and so on.
