273: Two options!

Outside the battlefield, the Ninth Prince quietly watched everything, his expression unchanged, his eyes as indifferent as a stranger.

"Third Brother still died! I thought he was more impressive?"

The Ninth Prince looked at Bukata, who had been slain by Fu Qingxi, a glint flashing in his eyes. "Now, only Big Brother and Second Brother are left."

"Big Brother is just a useless prince, no need to consider him; as for Second Brother, I can’t quite see through him…"

The Ninth Prince, Brolin, stroked his chin with his right hand, looking at the black and white sides on the field where victory and defeat had been decided, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

After a while, he shifted his gaze to Fu Qingxi and Han Li, whispering, "No matter how incompetent my Third Brother was, he wasn’t someone you ordinary people could just casually kill."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brolin looked towards a distant mountain peak and flew directly towards it.

"First, find a safe place, lest I get dragged in."

"First, I’ll report this matter to Grandfather and Father."

Standing on a large rock on the mountain peak, Brolin directly split off his consciousness to enter the Virtual Universe network.

Such a major event as the Third Prince’s death in battle must be reported to the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land in a timely manner, and ultimately decided by the old figures.

After all, the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land's reputation was not to be trifled with.

Swish, swish, swish!

Eighteen streaks of light flashed and arrived, guarding the Ninth Prince vigilantly around him.

Meanwhile, in another location, on the black and white chessboard, the sounds of battle had gradually faded, no longer echoing through the sky!

With the demise of the Third Prince, Bukata, the white side completely lost its backbone.

In an instant, the remaining martial artists lost their will to fight, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

A losing army collapses like a mountain!

The black side, led by Chen Fan and Yu Gui, charged towards the opposite side with overwhelming momentum.

Facing the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land martial artists, who were like drowning dogs, they naturally held nothing back.

On the battlefield, Chen Fan was never one to be indecisive.

At this moment, the elite forces of North Dragon City erupted with an unprecedented and terrifying combat power.

Whether it was segmenting and annihilating, sweeping with a Laser Cannon, or pursuing the advantage… they spared no effort, quickly wiping out all the adventurers on the white side one by one.

In the end, on the Life and Death Chessboard, out of two hundred thousand adventurers, fewer than twenty thousand remained.

All the martial artists who survived were from the black side.

And Chen Fan’s subordinates also sacrificed three Universe Rank during this great battle.

No other reason,

These three servant martial artists all fought to exhaustion and died protecting the Earth martial artists.

Up to now, the first great battle has concluded!

The light barrier shrouding the entire chessboard dissipated with a roar, and Chen Fan and the others regained their freedom.

However—

The bald lifeform with three heads and six arms reappeared, his incomparably resonant voice echoing through heaven and earth:

"Congratulations, adventurers of the first round. As the victors of the first round, you have two choices."

"Ah, two choices?"

On the plain, countless adventurers whispered amongst themselves, surprised by this sudden turn of events.

Equally surprised were Chen Fan and the more than twenty thousand victors who had survived the bloody battle.

"Little ones, it was not easy for you to survive the bloody battle.

Now, I, Lord Ming Luo, give you two choices."

Everyone craned their necks, listening intently.

Then, the bald man’s voice came, like rolling thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

"First, the victors of the first round can receive one hundred square cosmic coins and choose to leave the World Lord World now. I will naturally send you out."

"Second, continue to stay and participate in the second round of even more brutal bloody battle, to obtain the treasures left by my master!"

"Now, you have ten minutes to consider. When you’ve decided, tell me loudly!"

After speaking, the bald man floated silently, not uttering a word.

"One hundred square cosmic crystals, that’s a hundred thousand cosmic coins, approximately three hundred and thirty million qianwu coins!"

Upon hearing Ming Luo's words, some adventurers' eyes lit up.

Hundreds of millions of qianwu coins could directly allow these Astral Rank nine adventurers to upgrade their equipment.

Not long after, among the survivors on Chen Fan's side, voices began to ring out.

"Lord Ming Luo, I choose one hundred square cosmic crystals and will leave now."

"Me too."

"And me."

"…"

Excited voices rose around Chen Fan, but he remained unmoved.

"How do you choose?"

At this moment, Chen Fan looked at Ma Liang and his group, seemingly asking for their opinions.

"Only one hundred square cosmic crystals. I still want to see what this second round of trials is like."

"Yeah, I had a blast in the first battle and gained a lot of points."

Thunder God’s face was excited, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at Chen Fan.

"Actually, I also want to participate in the second round."

Hong also spoke.

As King Ni Yuan’s inheritor, he liked to challenge difficulties.

What's more, after nearly an hour of intense battle, his muscles and bones had all stretched out, and he eagerly hoped for the next great battle.

"Fan-ge, we all want to participate…"

After looking around, Chen Fan already knew everyone's thoughts.

"Okay, we’ll stay for the second round."

"Yu Gui, what about you?"

Chen Fan looked at Yu Gui, who was cleaning a wound on his arm not far away, and asked, "Do you want to participate in the second round together?"

"Of course, I’m also looking forward to the second round of trials, and then seeing the treasures left by Realm Lord Ming Sa?"

Yu Gui smiled, showing no fatigue after the great battle.

This was a battle maniac!

Chen Fan sighed inwardly, then continued, "Very good."

Finally, among the 17,000 martial artists remaining on the black side in the first round, 7,000 chose to take the reward and leave.

As for the remaining ten thousand-plus people, they firmly stayed, preparing for the second great battle.

"Okay, you 7,000 people can leave now."

After speaking, the bald man guarding the Realm Lord Ming Sa's legacy waved his hand.

The next moment, small spatial rings, each containing a hundred square cosmic crystals, appeared out of thin air, hovering before them.

"Hahaha, we’re rich now!"

An adventurer trembled as he grasped the ring, his figure turning into a streak of light and shooting upwards.

Have they left?

Some adventurers watched this scene, envy in their eyes.

Three hundred million qianwu coins were enough to help them cultivate to Universe Rank.

Swish, swish, swish!

As the remaining adventurers left, a large area around Chen Fan quickly became empty.

"To the martial artists who chose to stay, I admire your courage.

Since you chose to stay, you can rest for three days, and then, along with the victors from other groups during these three days, participate in the second trial."

The top one hundred performers will receive the master’s precious collection."

The bald Ming Luo smiled at Chen Fan and the others, continuing:

"Inside, besides the master's most precious inheritance, there are also over a thousand treasures!"
