Chapter 1512: 1512 **Chapter 1512: I’ll Give You One Minute** Feeling the power transmitted from the formation, it seemed to affect his soul. Lin Moyu’s soul quality was too high to be affected by the formation’s power, so he remained completely calm and composed. He knew that this formation was very powerful, so powerful that he couldn’t resist it. The current influence on the soul’s emotions was just a trivial effect of the formation. If the formation were fully activated, even a God Sovereign like Zhu Tian would find it difficult to resist. One by one, lights lit up from the formation, teleporting the contestants away. At the same time, everyone received information. They could choose to watch the competition projections within the city or go to the spectator seats outside the arena for a more immersive experience. However, the latter option required a fee, and the points were not cheap. The formation continued to operate, activating one arena after another, and the contestants were teleported to their respective arenas. In the first round, except for Lin Moyu, who had a bye, there were 498 participants, resulting in 249 matches. Although there were 100 arenas in the Four Star Regions Competition, only 10 were activated at this time. Clearly, the competition was not conducted simultaneously. On the 10 arenas, a total of 20 people, 10 pairs of contestants, were ready to compete. The formation projected the scenes from the arenas across the entire human star region. On some life stars in the Four Star Regions, people could watch the competition in real-time. The aura of the Human Emperor Network was unprecedentedly vast, mobilizing an astonishing amount of power for the Four Star Regions Competition. Lin Moyu’s figure flashed, appearing on his rooftop, his gaze spanning tens of thousands of meters to the distant square. The projections of the various competitions had already appeared in the square. From the projections, he saw Xu Jianxing. Xu Jianxing looked relaxed, his gaze calm and composed, showing no signs of nervousness. This state was very good. Lin Moyu knew that Xu Jianxing had adjusted his mindset and no longer cared about the outcome of the match. Unlike Xu Jianxing, some other contestants appeared very nervous when facing opponents much stronger than themselves. On other arenas, Zhuang Bi, Chu Xiong, Dongfang Ze, Qing Fei, and Wei Bowen, who were among the top-ranked contestants, had already appeared on the stage. The Human Emperor Network began introducing the contestants’ information. There were still 10 minutes before the competition started, enough time for the Human Emperor Network to introduce all the contestants on the arenas. Ten minutes later, the competition officially began. Dongfang Ze was the first to make a move. He didn’t use any magical artifacts; instead, he instantly expanded his law domain, turning most of the arena into a world of flames. He had comprehended the Explosive Fire Law, a second-tier law, a variant of the fire laws with great power. As its name suggests, this law was extremely explosive, detonating upon contact. In the law domain, sparks of fire appeared and then exploded. With a roar, his opponent was blasted away, unable to get up. The match was decided in a single blow. Although everyone was at the first rank of the God King realm, their combat strength varied greatly. Those who stood out in the preliminaries were not weak. They could at least achieve invincibility at the same rank and even fight across ranks. Unfortunately, they encountered someone like Dongfang Ze, whose realm was high, and even when suppressed to the first rank of the God King, he could still rival the sixth rank of the God King. Dongfang Ze slightly raised his head, looking down at his opponent with arrogance. Soon, Zhuang Bi, Qing Fei, Chu Xiong, and others also defeated their opponents. However, unlike Dongfang Ze, they gave their opponents some face, taking at least two rounds before defeating them. Xu Jianxing’s match was similar. He faced Shui Zixian, who had strong defensive capabilities. On Fire Seed Island, Shui Zixian had also competed for the top three positions with Dongfang Ze and others. Xu Jianxing drew his longbow, and arrows rained down like a storm on Shui Zixian. Shui Zixian made no moves, only slightly expanding her law domain. Layers of solid ice rose in front of her, blocking all of Xu Jianxing’s attacks. After Xu Jianxing had exhausted his attacks, Shui Zixian finally made her move. In just one second, Xu Jianxing was enveloped in white light, turning into an ice sculpture, unable to move. The first 10 matches were unsurprising. The matches ended in just two minutes. The contestants were teleported away by the Human Emperor Network, replaced by the next batch of opponents. The numbering system based on soul strength separated the strong from the weak, allowing the weaker contestants to face the stronger ones first. The initial matches were not expected to be exciting, as the strength gap was too wide. The early matches were not thrilling, being one-sided crushes. Only when the numbers got closer would the matches become evenly matched and more exciting. After watching a few matches, Lin Moyu lost interest. With his experience, these matches seemed like child’s play. His gaze shifted, seeing Xu Jianxing approaching, carrying a jug of wine in one hand and food in the other. It seemed he planned to get drunk again today. Although he said he didn’t care, he must have felt some disappointment. Lin Moyu could understand this subtle emotion. Xu Jianxing called out loudly, "Brother Lin, come down and drink." "Alright!" Lin Moyu smiled, looking at Xu Jianxing. Zhuang Bi and Chu Xiong were also coming, making it a lively gathering. Under the control of the Human Emperor Network, the matches proceeded in an orderly manner. As the contestant numbers got closer, the matches became less one-sided. The matches became more competitive, and the duration of the matches gradually increased. Especially when contestants from the Xuanwu Star Region faced each other, the matches not only lasted longer but also became boring. The Human Emperor Network did not wait for them to finish their matches but opened new arenas to continue the subsequent matches. The 249 matches took three days to complete. During these three days, Lin Moyu, Xu Jianxing, Zhuang Bi, and Chu Xiong drank together for three days. Xu Jianxing alternated between being drunk and sober, becoming more familiar with Zhuang Bi and Chu Xiong. On the fourth day, the second round of the Four Star Regions Competition began. The first round had eliminated half of the contestants. In the second round, Lin Moyu also had to compete, with a total of 125 matches. Lin Moyu’s opponent was a cultivator numbered 275, named Ou Xin, from the Xuanwu Star Region, at the eighth rank of the God King realm. In the first round, his opponent was number 226, from the Vermilion Bird Star Region, at the ninth rank of the God King realm. Logically, the 226th contestant should have had a higher chance of winning, but Ou Xin relied on his strong defense to withstand all of his opponent’s attacks. He ultimately wore down his opponent and successfully advanced. Such upsets were not common. Lin Moyu was teleported to the arena and saw his opponent. Ou Xin was a slightly chubby young man who looked kind. Ou Xin greeted Lin Moyu nervously, "H-hello." Lin Moyu could see that he was very nervous, even trembling as he spoke. Lin Moyu smiled, "No need to be nervous. I’ll give you one minute, and I won’t fight back." Ou Xin’s eyes widened, "Really?" Lin Moyu nodded, "Really." Ou Xin seemed to know he would lose and was immediately grateful upon hearing Lin Moyu’s words, "Thank you, thank you!"
