Chapter 17 Rong Jun's True Card
The group battle in the ring lasted for five days and finally came to an end.
The ten thousand contestants who stood out were able to enjoy a day of rest.
Compared with the direct confrontation in group battles, the following competitions are divided into ring matches and reincarnation matches.
In the ring competition, 10,000 contestants competed against each other in pairs, and at the beginning, 10,000 contestants competed against each other in pairs. They fought one-on-one, the winner advanced, and the loser fell into the "loser group".
The following matches followed this example, with the winners group reduced from 10,000 to 5,000, then to 2,500, then to 1,250, and finally to only 625. These 625 outstanding players directly qualified for the Qianwu Universe National List.
And the 9,375 losers will face a more brutal and lengthy reincarnation battle.
The Reincarnation Battle is just as its name suggests. The 9,375 defeated geniuses will step onto the ring again and fight a life-and-death battle with the other losers one by one.
Each winner will receive one point, while the loser or the tiebreaker will receive no points.
After 9,374 long and brutal battles, the 275 people with the highest points ranking stood out and successfully won the precious final spot.
At this point, the list of one thousand names of Qianwu Universe will be finalized. They will represent Qianwu Universe in the next showdown with the 1007 geniuses from the remaining 1007000 Universes.
The cruelty of the reincarnation war is staggering. Every contestant has to go through at least twenty-five life-and-death duels every day, and each one requires him to give his all and cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Such a competition is a great test of the players' spirit, strength and will. After all, those who can reach this point are all outstanding geniuses in their respective universes.
Precisely because the contestants are so strong, the competition is particularly cruel.
However, this is the format of the competition.
In order to ensure that no genius is missed, this simple, direct and rough method becomes the best choice.
Of course, for those contestants who are eager to hone their skills, the next three years will be a rare opportunity for improvement.
-
Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The qualification for the four ring matches was like a passing cloud to Rong Jun, and he did not take it to heart.
On the contrary, the following reincarnation battle provided him with a rare opportunity.
In a devouring universe, resources are crucial, but will, character, and the courage to survive in desperate situations are equally indispensable.
Breakthroughs and insights on the battlefield have become daily occurrences in this world, and for geniuses, it's as natural as eating and drinking.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you have never experienced on-the-spot enlightenment and breakthroughs, you should not be ashamed to call yourself a genius.
Rong Jun's goal is to push these geniuses into desperate situations and observe the brilliant light they emit when they are in trouble, desperate situations, or even death.
And he drew valuable experience from it.
As for Rong Jun himself, no one could make him feel the real crisis unless he challenged someone of a higher level.
Fortunately, Ruolan was there to provide him with strong support.
At first, Ruolan was very excited and even enthusiastic. After all, personally training a genius with the potential to become a marquis or even a king would undoubtedly be something to show off in the future.
However, the reality was very different from what she expected. She had to carefully control her strength and only maintain a slight advantage over Rong Jun.
But Rong Jun doesn't play by the rules at all. He often has wild ideas or sudden progress, which often makes her feel at a loss.
Just like how Rong Jun treats other geniuses, if he suppresses them too much, it is no longer training, but killing. Killing Rong Jun is easy for Ruolan, but how to promote his growth without completely crushing him is actually a big challenge for her!
-
"Okay, that's all for today. You still have 25 more rounds of reincarnation battles to fight later."
When Ruolan saw Xiao Nuonuo bringing food, she quickly put away her life-saving weapon.
"Master, you finished so early today!" Xiao Nuonuo looked at Ruolan who was obviously relieved, and glanced at Rong Jun who was sweating profusely but still unsatisfied, and asked curiously.
"Well, it's getting late. Your uncle will be participating in 25 consecutive reincarnation battles in two hours, so he must conserve his energy." Ruolan sighed softly, with an expression that showed she was considering Rong Jun.
Over the past three months, it was fine at the beginning, but as time went on, Ruolan felt more and more that this was not a training for Rong Jun, but a training for herself!
She really couldn't understand why Rong Jun tried his best every time and was exhausted by her, but as long as he took a short rest, he would become full of energy again, like a tireless calf, with endless strength and energy to vent all day long.
Sometimes, she even wondered if this person really didn't feel tired?
You know, fighting with Rong Jun every day, even Ruolan, an immortal, feels exhausted.
Not only does he have to fight against himself, but he also has to go to the virtual universe every day to fight with twenty-five geniuses.
What's even more outrageous is that this kind of fighting seems to have become an opportunity for him to hone himself.
"I'm really sorry to bother Lady Ruolan recently!" Rong Jun took the towel handed to him by Xiao Nuonuo and wiped the sweat off his face.
Rong Jun knew how painful it was to suppress his own strength. He could kill the opponent with just one strike, but he still tried to control the impulse and kept testing the opponent's limits.
Once or twice is okay, but having to fight more than twenty life-and-death battles every day is undoubtedly a great test of one's will.
In comparison, Rong Jun felt that it would be much easier to fight Ruolan with all his strength, and he could even vent all the negative emotions that were suppressed in his heart.
Because at that time he didn't need to worry too much, he just had to give it his all and do his best to defeat the opponent.
Rong Jun is a human being, not a saint.
He is well aware of the dangers of internal friction, but the emergence of emotions is the instinct of human beings or living things and cannot be completely eliminated.
Joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise, these seven emotions and six desires are the proof of his existence and also make his life colorful.
Not falling into internal friction does not mean completely abandoning emotions, but learning to control them and not letting emotions overly influence your judgment and actions.
In Rong Jun's view, emotions are a double-edged sword. They can bring strength but can also become an obstacle.
When you are happy, your high spirits can inspire your enthusiasm for doing things, but excessive joy may make you blindly confident, ignore potential risks, or even fall into a trap.
When you are angry, the rush of blood can bring you great power, and even inspire unexpected inspiration in battle. However, excessive anger can make people lose their reason, become slaves to their emotions, and be manipulated by others.
Worry can increase people's alertness and make them face challenges more cautiously, but excessive worry can also lead to indecision, hesitation and missed opportunities.
Rong Jun knows that every emotion has its positive side and potential flaws. The key is how to control them and make them the driving force for one's progress rather than an obstacle.
What he needs to do is to understand the causes and origins of his emotions, not be swayed by their negative effects, and at the same time use the advantages of emotions to enhance his own advantages.
Only in this way can he go further and further on the road ahead and write his own legend in this devouring universe.
In fact, Rong Jun has always believed that the Hunyuan Soul-Calming Bell is his trump card.
The real trump card of the time traveler from beginning to end is the cognition and unique logical thinking brought by the memories of the previous life.
