Chapter 43: Hundred Brilliance Cup (I)

【Understood, Host.】

【Can you open the Treasure Box while waiting for the Tribulation Lightning to arrive?】

【Is that what the Host intends?】

【Yes.】

The final bolt of Tribulation Lightning would only be more powerful than all the previous ones combined; she was not certain she could contain it.

The Treasure Box existed in another space, and according to the mission rules, she needed to defeat the Boss inside to pass the trial and receive the reward.

She had been lucky to encounter the little white fox last time, but she might not have such good luck this time.

If the Tribulation Lightning could follow her into the Treasure Box, perhaps she could use its power to kill the Boss, or at the very least, weaken it to some extent.

A bolt of Tribulation Lightning, white streaked with gold, plummeted from the sky!

【Lucky Dice, Treasure Box—】 Su Xi urged Er Miao.

As the Tribulation Lightning descended, the golden portion suddenly detached from the bolt and streaked off in another direction.

But to the onlookers on the Observation Platform, it only appeared as though it had separated, with both parts still heading toward the mountain peak where Yuan Yu was.

Only Rong Shou saw that the golden Tribulation Lightning was heading toward where Su Xi was.

His eyes widened! Nearly stumbling, he also used Teleportation toward the Observation Platform!!!

Hua Qing sighed heavily; this time, he did not stop Rong Shou.

Because the Tribulation Cloud in the sky began to dissipate rapidly; all the trials of the Heavenly Tribulation had ended, and whether Yuan Yu had succeeded or not was already settled!

As the Tribulation Cloud vanished, the sound of bells rang out across the sky, and following the bells, golden immortal light slowly descended...

Yuan Yu, whose Dao Body was now only one-third intact, was cradled in the air by the immortal light; his body recovered completely in the blink of an eye, his long, pitch-black hair tied up with a jade hairpin, wearing a snow-white Dao Robe marked with the emblem of the Southern Dao Sect.

The onlookers all erupted into deafening cheers.

It had been six thousand years since anyone had successfully ascended to the Xianjie.

Many had thought that the Yunze Dalu would never again have the fortune of an ascension. Yuan Yu's ascension this time brought hope to all cultivators.

Yuan Yu stood upon the five-colored auspicious clouds and bowed respectfully to all the Daoist cultivators watching, as well as to his own sect disciples.

Finally, he looked toward Rong Shou.

Rong Shou did not look at him, but stood at the bottom of a massive crater, his head lowered, shoulders and back rigid, his hands trembling slightly.

"Boom—Crack, crack—" Following the thunderous strike, the sound of a barrier shattering rang out!

Su Xi only cared about shielding her head and using Teleportation, feeling that was the only way to be safe.

【The challenger, Nether King Spider, is dead! The challenger has completed the Treasure Box trial in the shortest time in history and received a double reward—1000 System Points (exchangeable 1:1 for other types of points), and an additional reward—qualification for the Hundred Brilliance Cup tournament. Randomly selecting competition zone, initiating!】

【……???】 Before Su Xi could even react to what had happened, a flash of white light blinded her, and she arrived in a room.

There were six people here; adding her, she was the seventh.

【Er Miao! What happened? What is the Hundred Brilliance Cup tournament?】

【The Hundred Brilliance Cup tournament is a competitive contest held for all System Hosts who have obtained qualification, regardless of their system type. Only the top one hundred System Hosts will win, and the prizes are generous. Other hosts who are eliminated and do not make the top one hundred will return to their original worlds.】

【This competition is too hard. No, wait, I remember I'm ranked last, right? Is this a competition I can participate in?】

【It is indeed unfair. Does the Host see the numbers on their chests? That is their ranking.】

Su Xi saw it; one young man wearing glasses had a ranking of—617.

Er Miao was indignant, 【I want to file a complaint!】

A series of beeping sounds rang in Su Xi's ears, and after a moment, Er Miao exploded, 【It was actually rejected! It makes Miao Miao so mad.】

【……】 Su Xi quickly gathered her thoughts and walked toward a less conspicuous corner of the room.

Just as she was walking, someone else entered the room. This time, it was a little girl with a doll-like face, as pretty and cute as if carved from jade, wearing a goose-yellow pom-pom hat.

She looked about three or four years old, holding a large baby bottle in her round, chubby little hands, drinking milk with 'gulp~ gulp~' sounds.

Everyone looked toward the baby.

Su Xi was also stunned, 【Er Miao, your system must be malfunctioning! How could such a small child participate?】

【The Host is absolutely right; I am continuing to complain.】 Er Miao said, pouting.

"Hello, big brothers and sisters. I'm playing hide-and-seek. I won't affect your competition. Can I hide here for a while?" The little girl's voice was also soft and milky, enough to soften anyone's heart.

Su Xi walked over and squatted down to look her in the eye, "What is your name, little sister?"

"Just call me Xiao Mi," the little girl replied.

"Little sister Xiao Mi, where are your parents? You're so small; if they can't see you, they'll be worried. You should hurry home, okay?" Su Xi looked around the room; there were no doors or windows. How was one supposed to get out?

She immediately went to knock on the wall, "Hey—get a door out here."

"A fool and a child; why are the contestants this year all so freakish?" A woman with heavy makeup and black lips said mockingly.

Su Xi looked over. Golden hair, a black tight-fitting suit that outlined her voluptuous figure in an S-curve; her chest badge—1049... hung on her high chest, swaying with her movements!

She immediately stopped hitting the wall and tilted her head slightly, saying: "This Miss 1049, your evaluation of yourself is quite accurate; you really are quite freakish. And this black leather—couldn't you get a bigger size? You have to squeeze the fat on your waist into rolls, layer upon layer. Do you want to be sweet-and-sour or braised?"

Following her words, everyone looked toward 1049.

Actually, it wasn't that bad; it was just a bit of plumpness, which could instead arouse desire in the opposite sex.

"Are you blind? My figure has won the Miss Sexy championship," 1049 said angrily, moving to fight Su Xi.

Su Xi straightened her posture, let Xiao Mi hide to the side, and rolled up her sleeves, "What, you want to fight?"

Anyway, if she died, she would just go back; she wasn't afraid at all.

"Don't, let's calm down, both beauties. It's just a matter of two sentences; no need to resort to violence." A man wearing a priest's robe with a gentle and refined appearance stepped in to stop the two.

Su Xi glanced at his chest badge—.

The priest continued: "Let's all get to know each other. Since we've met in the same room, we'll inevitably have to cooperate. I'll introduce myself first: Wen Jie, 28 years old, currently single. My system is Prayer. If anyone is injured or has any troubles they want to vent about, you can come to me."

"Hmph! For Mr. Wen's sake, I'll spare you, you fool." 1049 returned to her previous position.

Su Xi curled her lips, imitating Rong Shou's expression—a smirk that didn't reach her eyes, which was quite infuriating—and then said to Xiao Mi: "Sister will teach you one thing: don't try to argue with a stupid pig. You can't change a stupid pig's mind, and winning isn't glorious anyway."

"Mm!" Xiao Mi smiled softly and cutely, especially endearing, and even fished a lollipop out of her bib pocket, handing it to Su Xi, "A gift for big sister."

Goodnight~ Begging for follows, begging for recommendations, begging for everything~
