193: The elimination round begins, the God of War Arena!

Given his physique, it was indeed difficult to pass.

If the other party had spoken nicely, Xia Qi would have let him pass.

But with what he said, it was different.

Xia Qi glanced at him coldly.

That icy gaze made the burly man involuntarily retreat half a step.

At that instant, he felt as if Xia Qi was about to kill him.

It was as if he was being stared at by a bottomless abyss.

Xia Qi turned his head back, no longer paying him any mind.

The burly man stood behind Xia Qi, cold sweat continuously dripping down his body.

"What kind of person is this!"

He quickly ran to the back, unable to stay there for another second.

After passing through the corridor, what came into view was an incredibly vast plaza.

Although this was already Tian Du City, it was not the competition venue.

The current elimination round venues would only be opened when the official competition began.

Inside, all food and accommodation were directly funded by the Dragon Country.

"Let's go eat something first."

Xia Qi looked at the entire street of delicacies in front of him and motioned for everyone to go.

This place gathered delicacies from all over the world. The most abundant, of course, were from the Dragon Country.

When it came to food, the Dragon Country definitely left other countries far behind.

Xia Qi, accompanied by the four women, quickly attracted the attention of many people in the crowd.

Many people cast envious glances.

Some even stared in a daze, accidentally bumping into others.

Some people initially wanted to strike up a conversation, but upon seeing that they were from Shengjing University, they all retreated.

The name of Shengjing University saved Xia Qi a lot of trouble.

As students, the school had already arranged everything here.

When the time came, they just had to go.

Upon arriving at their accommodation, Xia Qi only needed to prepare for the competition.

Other matters were handled by the four women: Yu Qiu cooked, Luo Zisheng prepared the materials.

Yun Qingyue was responsible for Xia Qi's daily life.

Lina, on the other hand, seemed to be idle here.

She was also very troubled; if Xia Qi had an SSS-Rank talent, she would have directly helped him.

But now, her father would definitely not agree to Xia Qi and her relationship.

Seeing the four women getting along extremely harmoniously, Xia Qi did not say much and focused on preparing for the competition.

When the elimination rounds began, everyone gathered at the plaza.

This time, there were over 200,000 participants, and the number of people gathered here had already exceeded that.

However, most of the people here could only stay for one day.

The elimination rounds would eliminate ninety percent of the participants.

Although there would be a resurrection round later, not many people participated in it.

In the first round, everyone could clearly gauge their own abilities.

Continuing to participate in the resurrection round would only be self-humiliating.

People from various academies were led by their own academy members.

They stood out in the crowd, and many people cast envious glances at them.

The academy side not only had participants but also spectators.

Even if they didn't compete, just watching could teach them a lot.

The academy naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity; they not only wanted to cultivate the most top-tier individuals.

The first to be held was the team competition, which also had the most participants.

Xia Qi walked into the participating team, and soon, a huge arena rose into the sky.

"This is the God War Arena!"

Many people exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that this time, the Dragon Country would actually use the God War Arena.

The God War Arena could accommodate millions of people simultaneously.

It could not only serve as a competition venue but also as a Divine Artifact for fending off enemies.

And the cost of using it once was extremely high.

Most people had only heard rumors, let alone seen it.

Its use in such a professional competition showed the Dragon Country's Pay attention to of this professional competition.

The elimination rounds were divided into three stages, the first being a challenge.

Only teams that passed the first checkpoint could enter the next round of the competition.

And these checkpoints, of course, corresponded to the various groupings.

Each group encountered different opponents, and only by defeating the set opponents could they enter the next round.

Under the guidance of the staff, many people successively entered the God War Arena.

Xia Qi only saw a continuous surge of people, densely entering the God War Arena.

Xia Qi also entered the God War Arena under the guidance of the school staff.

As soon as he entered the God War Arena, Xia Qi landed in a huge plaza.

There was no one around. And in front of him stood a giant Puppet.

"It seems the task this time is to defeat it!"

The team competition focused on team ability.

The opponent's strength was definitely set according to this standard.

Before Xia Qi could observe much, the Puppet began to move.

Its stiff body began to twist, then slowly accelerated.

Xia Qi's current Rank was thirty, and he corresponded to the Rank thirty group.

Although he had not changed professions, he now corresponded to the Rank thirty to thirty-nine group.

Many people would keep their Rank at twenty-nine, so they could enter the Rank twenty group.

Their advantage would also be greater.

However, Xia Qi didn't care about this at all.

Although this would make his opponents stronger, what did it matter?

When the Puppet started to move, Xia Qi also moved.

He channeled lightning, and a bolt of lightning struck the Puppet's body.

This bolt of lightning only left a shallow mark on the Puppet's body, let alone any injury.

Xia Qi didn't expect to defeat the Puppet with a casual blow; he was just testing the opponent's strength.

In a team competition, the strength was naturally calculated based on the team.

In other words, Xia Qi was facing a Puppet that a five-person team should deal with.

After being attacked by Xia Qi, the Puppet immediately moved.

It swiftly charged at Xia Qi.

Xia Qi met it with his sword, and after the collision, they both retreated.

Xia Qi steadied himself and returned to his original position.

And the Puppet, under Xia Qi's attack, retreated repeatedly.

"It's nothing special."

It was just a simple clash, and this Puppet had already shown signs of weakness.

However, Xia Qi was not in a hurry to defeat it; instead, he responded by displaying strength similar to the Puppet's.

Although this was a competition, it was more like a trial.

Xia Qi also wanted to learn more here and improve his strength.

Once Xia Qi understood the Puppet's attack patterns, defeating it became much simpler.

With just one sword strike, he defeated the Puppet in front of him.

Subsequently, he was quickly teleported to a plaza.

At this time, there were already some people here.

They were all teams that had passed the first elimination round.

Although the elimination rate was high, with such a large base, many people would still advance.

Moreover, this was only the first round, and only one-fifth of the participants would be eliminated.

At this moment, General Hu was watching Xia Qi's battle from a distance.

"This kid, how is he competing alone!"

Although he had some psychological preparation for Xia Qi's actions, he was still somewhat surprised.
