276: Chapter 276 Inheritance Tournament Rules, Shattering Star Levels!

There are three days left...

...until the official start of the Inheritance Competition.

On the largest virtual network forum in the Wushan Seat with the most users, nearly ten billion messages are being refreshed every second.

And ninety-nine percent of them are all about the Inheritance Competition.

"Three days left! Three days left! Everyone, place your bets! Choose the ten geniuses you think are most likely to enter the top ten for a chance to win a hundred trillion grand prize!"

"Damn! Why are there still three days! No, I can't wait any longer!"

"Look, Cosmic Cloud Company has released some information about this Inheritance Competition!"

"Oh my god, there are over ten billion participants in this Inheritance Competition? That's two or three billion more than the last one! Are there really this many geniuses now?"

*Hiss!* "The intensity of this session feels a bit high!"

"Damn! With this difficulty, I feel like it'll be a victory if my son Wang Tun can even break into the top billion?!"

"Wang Tun? Pfft, what a useless-sounding name!"

"To break into the top three among over ten billion geniuses, just how ridiculous of a genius do you have to be to achieve that?"

"Take a guess, which star domain will the number one spot come from this time?"

"Does that even need to be said? First place will definitely be a prodigy from my Benlei Star Domain!"

"Do you know Jiang Yunxu of the Jiang family? One of the favorites to win! He's from our Wuxiong Star Domain! First place will definitely be a genius from our Wuxiong Star Domain!"

"Stop arguing, first place will definitely be in my Yanqiong Star Domain! We have Duan Xuan of the Sword Abyss Sea! And even if Duan Xuan isn't enough, we still have Fang Tong!"

"I really envy those powerful star domains. Forget about first place, it'll be good if our Tianlan Star Domain can produce someone who can fight their way into the top thousand."

"We're in the same boat; our Jianling Star Domain hasn't produced a peerless prodigy in a long time either."

"By the way, when will the inheritance information be announced? I'm a bit curious about what kind of immortal inheritance it is this time. What level of Immortal is it?"

"According to custom, that information seems to be announced only the day before the competition. Let's wait for now. Anyway, I feel like this session won't be simple."

...

Currently, Cosmic Cloud Company has already announced the participation information for this Inheritance Competition.

Compared to previous sessions...

...aside from the number of participants soaring to over ten billion...

...the rest of the competition rules basically have no major deviations.

The entire competition is divided into four stages.

The first stage is the online preliminary round.

Participants will accumulate wins through a random one-on-one duel format.

Those ranked in the top billion for wins will be able to enter the second stage of the competition.

That's right, the preliminary round alone will eliminate ninety percent of the people!

It can be said to be quite brutal!

The second stage is still online—that is, the combat mode within the virtual network. The competition content is the same as the first stage, also accumulating wins.

Ultimately, the Contestants in the top one hundred thousand for wins can enter the third stage.

For most people, entering the ranks of the top one hundred thousand basically means they have already changed their own destiny.

Because this means they will inevitably be noticed by large corporations and major forces in their respective star domains.

The third stage will begin the official offline matches.

At that time...

Cosmic Cloud Company will bring the one hundred thousand Contestants to the competition venue. The venue might be a modified small world or a modified giant planet.

The one hundred thousand Contestants will eventually be narrowed down to the best ten thousand Contestants to enter the fourth stage.

The fourth stage depends on how Cosmic Cloud Company arranges it for this session.

Because in almost every session, the content set by Cosmic Cloud Company for the fourth stage is different.

Exactly what the content is will only be known when the time comes.

This is also a major point of anticipation for the audience.

...

Turning our gaze to Huangchen Academy.

The entire academy is currently bustling with excitement, paying close attention to the Inheritance Competition.

Among them, those most concerned are actually the Senior Students.

Their strength is naturally perfectly fine.

Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time. Their ages have basically all exceeded the limit. When they were the right age, they didn't happen to catch an Inheritance Competition.

They have an unspeakable envy for the batch of New Students like Jiang Yunxu and Li Fan.

And within the New Student area...

...inside the manor where Peng Song was located, as a terrifying sword qi surged towards the sky...

...Peng Song finally successfully broke through to the Star Shattering Rank!!

"Is this the Star Shattering Rank?"

Peng Song opened his eyes, two golden sword qis flickering within them, his face carrying a hint of excitement.

During this period, after receiving guidance and pointers from an Immortal Dean in the academy...

...he had unexpectedly welcomed another epiphany, breaking through the Star Shattering Rank that had stuck him for a long time in one fell swoop!

Such a scene truly shocked several Immortals deep within the academy, who couldn't help but look over.

Especially Liusha.

He could be considered to have paid attention to Peng Song very early on.

When Peng Song first showed his brilliance, although his talent was very good, it hadn't reached a level that far exceeded expectations.

But ever since Peng Song comprehended the secret technique on an enlightenment stele, his whole person seemed to have been blessed. He had epiphanies whenever he wanted. This speed of progress was simply a bit heaven-defying!

Looking at it now, compared to Li Fan, the script Peng Song was following was more like Huo Feng's back then!

"This Peng Song's potential is truly astonishing! Although he is still quite a bit behind Li Fan, who is currently comprehending laws, this talent is definitely top-tier! Having successfully broken through to the Star Shattering Rank this time, I feel he can at least fight his way into the top hundred!"

"Just about. If he can also comprehend a wisp of Law Power, the top three would likely be a sure thing!"

"By the way, what's the situation with Li Fan now? I remember he was about to break through to Star Shattering half a month ago?"

"It seems he hasn't broken through yet."

"I said long ago that you can't work behind closed doors! But it doesn't matter. The competition schedule is very long. As long as he breaks through to Star Shattering within the schedule, there's a chance for the top three!"

Several Immortal Deans couldn't help but express their praise for Peng Song at this moment.

At the same time, they also thought of Li Fan.

Upon learning that Li Fan was still stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Star-Treading Level, they all couldn't help but feel a slight pity.

However...

...just as they were feeling pity...

...Li Fan, who was practicing on that Bizarre Planet, was being enveloped by a terrifying vortex of cosmic primordial energy.

In just the blink of an eye...

...Li Fan's entire aura suddenly surged, breaking through the threshold of the Star Shattering Rank in one go!

And the improvement did not stop immediately.

Instead, it went directly to the peak of the first stage of the Star Shattering Rank!!

"Wait, even this works?!"

Inside Li Fan's space ring, Ming Yan's eyes widened as he looked at Li Fan's current aura.

Just a moment ago...

...under his guidance, Li Fan had finally completely fused that wisp of Law Power.

Unexpectedly, at the moment of complete fusion, Li Fan actually entered a state of epiphany!

Epiphany aside, he had thought it would at most be just barely reaching the first stage of the Star Shattering Rank.

Who would have thought that Li Fan would actually almost charge into the second stage of the Star Shattering Rank?!

"Star Shattering Rank!"

Li Fan opened his eyes at this moment, his face full of pleasant surprise.

He also hadn't expected to be able to break through via an epiphany.

Immediately, Li Fan clicked on his attribute panel.
