Chapter 652: The Second Round Begins! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Lin Qi looks at his Blood Qi Value; unknowingly, it has already passed the 70,000 mark.

It is also very close to the 100,000 Blood Qi Value, only 30,000 away.

But for these 30,000 Blood Qi Value, he guesses that at least dozens of Source Energy Crystals are needed.

Without tens of millions of Deep Space Coins, it cannot be achieved.

And he has no money left on him now.

Then he looks at the Mental Power column again; in three months, not only has his Blood Qi Value been increasing.

His Mental Power has also been increasing.

【Mental Power: 89888 (Void-Empty Realm)】

However, because all his Deep Space Coins were spent on Source Energy Crystals, he has no money left to purchase 50% purity Soul Marrow.

This leads to him only being able to purchase 10% purity Soul Marrow.

So this leads to his Mental Power being about to be caught up by his Blood Qi Value.

"Still short of money!"

Lin Qi feels that he has never been rich, always short of money.

Now, even after breaking through to the Void-Empty Realm, he is still short of money.

He stands up, feels the surging power in his body, and glances at the time; unknowingly, it is only three hours away from the second round of the Deep Space Tournament.

Next, he only needs to pass the second round, get the reward, and first improve his strength.

With his current strength, five Source Meridians, and Stage Five Completion spear technique, entering the third round is absolutely no problem.

Thinking of this, he goes out, goes downstairs, and has breakfast with his parents, younger brother, and younger sister.

……

Three hours later, his father Lin Zhen chooses to go to work, and only his mother Fang Huiyi, and his younger brother and sister are left at home.

Lin Qi projects a 200-inch large screen, which plays a huge blue virtual arena, making people feel as if they are there.

One can see the huge auditorium; the auditorium for the second round is larger, easily accommodating billions of spectators.

Now, a large number of spectators have logged on one after another.

"Xiao Qi, for this second round of the Deep Space Tournament, you must also work hard."

"We believe you will pass."

His mother Fang Huiyi encourages him.

His younger brother Lin Xiao also seriously raises his little hand and asks curiously:

"Brother, work hard, defeat them all."

His younger sister Lin Zhaoyue also raises her little hand and repeats it.

Lin Qi touches his head and smiles: "Don't worry, I will defeat them!"

Give him another three years, and everything will be different.

Thinking of this, he returns to the martial arts room and opens his virtual bracelet.

He logs into the cosmic virtual network world.

In his personal space, information sent by the Deep Space Academy's official website quickly pops up in front of him.

【Lin Qi of the Blue Star Civilization, do you want to enter the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament?】

【Yes!】

After clicking confirm, Lin Qi's figure instantly disappears from his personal space.

……

"Hum hum!!"

This is a huge virtual world, and it is also the contestant plaza for the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament.

When Lin Qi opens his eyes, his vision suddenly clears; it is a wide plaza.

At the same time, his gaze looks up at the sky, because he sees that high in the sky, there is a special triangular symbol, with three corners of different colors: blood, gold, and ink.

The triangular body rotates, covering a large area.

This is the area belonging to the Triangle Seat Star System, and the triangular symbol represents the Triangle Civilization.

He sees 1000 geniuses from different civilizations he has seen before logging on one after another.

"Brother Qi!"

"Lin Qi!"

Lin Qi feels the aura of acquaintances, and as expected, the next second, he hears familiar voices.

Turning his head to look, it is the Blue Star crowd, War God, Ice Emperor, Jiang Tao, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and 49 others.

There are a full 50 people, all the geniuses from Blue Star who entered the second round this time.

Also coming along are 20 people from the Flowing Blade Civilization.

"Russell!"

At the same time, the Triangle Clan people also come to greet them, led by the top geniuses Feng Hao, Luo Lin, and Mo Long.

"Lin Qi!"

Luo Yun and Mo Lun also seek out Lin Qi?

Especially Mo Lun, who says:

"If we meet in the second round, you must be careful!"

Lin Qi smiles; Mo Lun thinks he can do it again, could it be that the other party has also improved in three months?

He smiles: "You should be the one to be careful!"

"There are only 8 spots per match, and I won't show mercy!"

"And with 1000 matches, we won't be able to be matched into the same match."

In their chatting, everyone also draws closer.

In the second round, they are all geniuses from major star systems of the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu.

They all belong to the Triangle Seat Star System and have more sense of belonging.

In the second round, they represent the Triangle Seat Star System and need to act in unison against outsiders.

Everyone's gaze also looks at the surroundings.

At the end of their line of sight, they see many plazas.

On each plaza, 1000 people stand, and different symbols float in the sky.

Countless plazas, like a circular pattern, constantly spread outward.

All the plazas float in the gorgeous starry sky.

Luo Lin looks at all this and begins to sigh:

"Each contestant plaza represents a civilization, and those symbols all represent the rulers of a star system."

Jiang Tao sighs:

"5432 star systems, each star system with 1000 geniuses, 5.43 million geniuses; I dare not imagine how terrifying the competition among them will be."

"Boom!!"

Just as everyone is sighing, he sees the starry sky above all the plazas change, blue stars descend, and under the particle effects, they turn into a figure.

He wears a blue uniform, has a tall figure, handsome features, a scholarly temperament, and deep eyes, as if he can see through everything in the world.

Making people dare not look him in the eye.

He is the supervisor of the Deep Space Mount Lieyang Branch Academy—Director Xi Yuan!

"Geniuses of the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu!"

"Welcome to the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament!"

"I am the supervisor of the Deep Space Academy stationed at the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu Branch Academy—Director Xi Yuan!"

Director Xi Yuan looks around at the 5432 contestant plazas, as if he can see everyone's face clearly; he continues to speak, attracting everyone's gaze.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully killing your way out of the first round and entering the second round!"

"In the second round, what greets you are the top geniuses from 5432 star systems."

"Allow me to introduce the rules again!"

"The second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament is also called the Ten Directions Blood Arena, with a total of 1000 matches, each hosting 5432 contestants, and through 500 days of time, 8000 spots will be decided."

"The remaining eliminated contestants will enter the resurrection tournament, continue to hold 1000 matches, and decide the remaining 2000 contestants……"

"On average, out of 543 contestants, only one can obtain a spot to enter the third round."

"The third round is a destined long-term competition; geniuses, do you want to prove your strength?"

"Then in the Ten Directions Blood Arena, defeat 543 opponents and obtain your own promotion spot!!"

"At the same time, you will also receive a reward of 5 million Deep Space Coins."

Although everyone already knew the rules, hearing Director Xi Yuan announce them again still makes them feel heavy pressure.

And the longing deep in every genius's heart makes people involuntarily start to feel their blood boil.

Lin Qi's expression; he sees the crazy and longing expressions of others around him.

He feels the same in his heart; he must enter the third round.

So he must obtain a spot.

……

He sees the tall, scholarly-tempered Director Xi Yuan wave his hand and say:

"I announce, the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu competition zone, the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament officially begins!!"

As soon as his voice falls, his entire body turns into blue light shadow particles and dissipates in the air.

At the same time, a huge blue star emerges, and a huge screen appears in everyone's line of sight.

It is covered with dense fonts!

It is the names of 5.432 million contestants in the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu, and they are divided into 1000 matches.

According to the competition rules, in each match, there will be no geniuses from the same star system assigned to the same match.

Everyone's gaze is locked on the large screen, checking their own match sessions.

And Lin Qi is the same; he is a Void-Empty Realm martial artist with astonishing eyesight, and he finishes looking at all 5.432 million names in a moment.

And he quickly finds his own name and the match session he belongs to.

【Match 14: ……, Lin Qi, Carter, Onu……】

After Lin Qi sees it, he frowns.

This match session is too early; according to the situation of two matches per day, that is, in a week's time, he will have to go on stage.

However, he feels that ending the second round quickly is also good news.

Because he can get the 5 million Deep Space Coin reward in advance!

As long as he can enter the 10,000 promoted people in advance, he can take the 5 million Deep Space Coin reward and cultivate with peace of mind.

And he has great confidence in his strength.

He has great confidence in becoming one of the last 8 people.

He has already condensed five Source Meridians, and even against geniuses who have condensed 8 Source Meridians, he has the strength to fight.

As for geniuses who have condensed 7 Source Meridians, he has the confidence to defeat them. Because he is a possessor of a special physique who is stronger than Galaxy-level geniuses.

The Golden Gangjin Tyrant Body allows him to possess physical talent far exceeding other geniuses.

The transformation brought by five Source Meridians is already stronger than that of seven Source Meridians.

Even if his luck is bad and he is killed, he can still participate in the resurrection tournament; by then, he will also have a great probability of promotion!

"My luck is not bad; it's my turn in the 50th match."

He sees Jiang Tao show a smile and say:

"As long as I pass the Ten Directions Blood Arena, I can take the reward and cultivate with peace of mind."

Sun Sheng jokes:

"I might have you eliminated early in the 50th match."

Jiang Tao shakes his head and says: "I still have great confidence in my strength."

"There are still 25 days, enough for my strength to go to the next level."

Then he looks at Jiang Miaoyin again and smiles even more happily.

Because Jiang Miaoyin's ranking is in the 498th match, the second to last match, giving Jiang Miaoyin a full year or more of cultivation time.

Finally, she can condense two more Source Meridians; the only drawback is that she cannot get the 5 million Deep Space Coin reward.

But for her, time is the most precious thing.

As long as she can enter the third round, there will be more time to cultivate later, which is simply perfect.

After War God finishes looking at all the match sessions, he cannot help but nod and say:

"Our 50 people from Blue Star are basically assigned to different match sessions, and they are all quite late, so everyone has time to cultivate."

"The earliest is actually Lin Qi's 14th match, but I believe in Lin Qi's strength; he will be the first person from our Blue Star Civilization to be promoted."

Others nod; Lin Qi is in the 14th match, followed by War God's 20th match.

Then there is Jiang Tao, and others are all after the 100th match.

This is a good thing for the Blue Star crowd.

Just as everyone is discussing, a beautiful figure emerges; she has red skin, a hot figure, and exquisite features.

She exudes a powerful aura, and she is actually a martial artist of the Cosmic Second Realm.

He sees her slowly speak:

"Contestants and audience, next, the second round of this Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu competition zone will be hosted by me, Sang Qing!"

"Next, let us invite the 5432 contestants of the first match!"

On the contestant plaza, Jiang Tao asks curiously:

"This host has such a strong aura; she is a powerhouse of the Cosmic Second Realm, and it's quite extravagant to come to host."

He sees Luo Lin smile: "Sang Qing is not an ordinary person; she is a genius of Mount Lieyang Star!"

"She comes from the Mount Lieyang Civilization; the Mount Lieyang Civilization is a higher civilization and the hegemon of the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu, and many of Sang Qing's family members are top powerhouses."

"And although her talent is average, she likes hosting and participates in various large-scale events, and has already hosted over a hundred Deep Space Genius Tournaments."

Everyone is amazed, not expecting that a host also has such a strong background.

……

At the same time, as soon as Sang Qing's voice falls, on the contestant plazas of all star systems, a figure is wrapped in blue light and rushes into the sky.

In everyone's line of sight, the surrounding starry sky begins to change, simulating a huge arena!

The entire arena is huge, as large as 10 football fields.

A large number of screens are projected in the sky, playing every angle of the arena.

At the same time, there are a large number of bullet screens, which are audiences from their respective civilizations, crazily supporting the contestants of their own civilization.

Around the arena is a vast and huge auditorium, emitting tsunami-like shouts, in which sit billions of spectators.

"Boom!!!"

In a moment's time, 5432 figures descend on different positions of the arena.

They come from different civilizations, with completely different skin, appearance, body shape, armor worn, and weapons.

But they all exude a powerful aura, and each is a top genius from major star systems.

Before the match begins, all contestants are observing the opponents around them.

【Countdown: ……3, 2, 1】

【The second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament, the first match of the Ten Directions Blood Arena officially begins!】

【Surviving Contestants: 5432/5432】

……

"Boom!"

Under the eyes of everyone, the moment the battle begins, terrifying energy fluctuations are released from the 5432 contestants.

Red flames, flowing water, swift wind, sharp edge, lightning……

Various powers erupt instantly, and the atmosphere of the arena is completely ignited like gunpowder.

Different powers begin to collide.

Sharp weapons slash out, Gangjin is released, the air is torn apart, and heavy gales are set off.

The arena instantly becomes a mess.

There are burly martial artists wielding giant axes, slashing out with heavy force.

But they are instantly pierced through the chest by sharp purple flying knives, turning into nothingness and dying.

There are mental power masters controlling 50 flying knives, shooting out with themselves as the center, like agile butterflies, instantly piercing through several contestants.

"What kind of power is this……"

"I actually can't even block one knife!"

"Which civilization's genius is this?"

Some martial artists, just as they slash out the weapons in their hands, die instantly.

There are sturdy martial artists slashing out cyan blade Gang, but their blade Gang is shattered by a flowing water spear Gang.

A beautiful figure stabs out a long spear, instantly piercing through the armor, and blood splashes out.

A tall female martial artist with short hair, spear out like a dragon, instantly pierces through her opponent.

There are top geniuses with powerful strength, and there are also those with not much difference in strength.

The battle begins, and everyone is not from the same star system, so no one knows anyone.

Their strength is also completely unclear.

So from the beginning, it is a melee; some martial artists have fought with 10 contestants one after another after a minute.

Several minutes later, there is still no definite opponent.

Sometimes blade Gang slashes from the void for no reason, and they besiege other contestants together with other contestants.

After killing several contestants, they themselves are besieged by several people.

The battle situation changes every second.

If not careful, one will be secretly killed by someone, and then the person who ambushed is also killed.

Some people are instantly focused and killed, and the ground of the arena cannot withstand the repeated bombardment, constantly appearing with cracks.

Several minutes after the battle begins, over a hundred contestants have already been killed.

【Surviving Contestants: 5201/5432】

……

The number of contestants is also decreasing rapidly, and as time passes, the battle becomes even more chaotic.

At the same time, contestants with powerful strength also stand out from among them.

The stronger the contestant, the more dazzling they are.

Especially a small part of them, who show strength far exceeding other contestants.

They can kill contestants with ease in the chaotic arena, and even when facing a siege, they can find opportunities to counter-kill their opponents.

5000 contestants, looking like a lot of people, but as time passes.

The number constantly decreases, 5000, 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000……

Five hours later, there are less than 300 people left on the arena.

The watching contestants cannot help but sigh, because the remaining ones are all experts among experts.

Even Galaxy-level geniuses are close to a hundred people.

They are the strongest ones; after killing all the geniuses who awakened two types of abilities, they kill each other again.

Finally, another three hours pass, and after one expert is regretfully killed, the first match of the Ten Directions Blood Arena officially ends.

On the messy arena, only 8 figures stand within it.

They exude a terrifying aura and successfully obtain the promotion spot.

At the same time, the host Sang Qing also announces:

"Let us congratulate the 8 contestants for successfully surviving to the end and obtaining the promotion spot!"

"Clap clap!!"

The auditorium also erupts with storm-like laughter and crazy cheering.

"Promoted!"

"Regis!"

"Camusius!!"

"Stock of our civilization is too powerful, invincible; even in the Mount Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu, he is the strongest genius!"

"Why, why is Milanchi so powerful and why did he lose?"

"He is too unlucky, actually encountering a siege; in a one-on-one, no one would be his opponent."

"Can only look forward to him successfully killing his way out in the resurrection tournament!"

……

In the contestant space

On countless contestant plazas, the contestants of the first match are teleported back.

"Next, let us invite the 5432 contestants of the second match!"

Under Sang Qing's announcement, the contestants of the second round also begin to go on stage.

And in the Triangle Seat Star System, countless people also sigh:

"Too strong, the strength is so weak that one can't even support a single move!"

"All will become cannon fodder, or rather, if you are not a Galaxy-level genius, you will all become cannon fodder!"

The black-robed War God also sighs:

"No wonder it's called the Ten Directions Blood Arena, it's too cruel!"

"There is not a single friend, all are opponents, launching attacks at any time!"

"Once there is a mistake, it is a fatal crisis!"
