Chapter 253: Chapter 183: The Alternative Competitor that Surprises Everyone! (Three-In-One, 3/10)_2 At this moment, the three Alliance Hierarchs stationed at the Academy Alliance Headquarters also took a moment to observe this event. If someone from their own star system participated and emerged victorious, it could either delay the next Disaster or reduce its severity. However, exceptionally few powerhouses from the Solar System ever participated in such life-threatening events. After all, the Solar System had only one Life Planet, and Earth’s population was pitifully small. The loss of even one top-tier expert of the same rank was a colossal blow. The Alliance generally did not recommend that its members participate in such events, as the potential rewards were not at all proportional to the risks involved. However, if someone still volunteered to participate, the Alliance naturally wouldn’t interfere excessively. After all, these individuals were risking their lives to earn benefits. As the three Alliance Hierarchs were checking if any Earthlings had participated in the event, they scanned the first-transition competition zone and found no one. When they scanned the second-transition competition zone, all three were dumbfounded. [Slaughter Mode – Second-Transition Competition Zone Participant List] [No. 1, Solar System Participant – Level 20 (Non-Rebirth, Professional Star Level: Five Stars)] [No. 2, Yongming Star System Participant – Level 60 (Second-Transition, Professional Star Level: Fifteen Stars)] [No. 3, Fairy Star System Participant – Level 60 (Second-Transition, Professional Star Level: Fifteen Stars)] ... "Level 20? Non-Rebirth?" The three Alliance Hierarchs couldn’t help but wonder if they had misread. But after checking it several times and confirming its accuracy, they looked at each other, momentarily speechless. "What’s with this kid? Did something provoke him? Does he have a death wish?" the blonde, blue-eyed female Alliance Hierarch, Belinda, said with great surprise, seeing a five-star, non-transitioned professional from the Solar System engaging in such a suicidal act. "A Level 20 Non-Rebirth? Forget the second-transition competition zone; he wouldn’t stand a chance even in the first-transition competition zone! This kid seems determined to die," Markus, the curly-haired, dark-skinned male Alliance Hierarch, also found it utterly baffling. He’s one of the very few five-star professionals in this cohort, and he’s just throwing his life away like this? Is he serious?! "I thought we might finally see someone from Earth bring us some glory. I didn’t expect a self-destructive fellow. He’s a five-star professional with a boundless future; I just don’t understand why he’s so determined to throw it all away," Jiang Yun, the black-haired young man, also felt a sense of helplessness. After all, consider a Level 20 professional who hasn’t even undergone their first transition. If they said they wanted to try the first-transition zone and fight a group of max-level Level 40 first-transition experts, people might think they were confident and eager for a challenge. But what is he doing now? He skipped two whole tiers to fight against max-level Level 60 second-transition experts? That’s just pure suicide! If he wanted to die, he could have at least died fighting Aliens, or on the path to achieving greater combat power for himself! This kind of self-destructive death is truly contemptible. It wasn’t just the three Alliance Hierarchs; most people thought the same way. After all, for a Level 20 individual who hadn’t even undergone a professional transition to enter a dungeon instance where participants were predominantly Level 60 second-transition experts—what was the difference between that and suicide? Therefore, even though they saw he was a five-star professional, no one believed he had chosen this competition zone out of self-confidence. Everyone assumed he was there to die. People were merely curious about what kind of mental journey could lead a five-star professional to be so self-destructive. Just when everyone was convinced that this Level 20 Non-Rebirth Earthling in the second-transition competition zone was on a self-destructive path, seeking death, something changed. Soon, people saw an additional piece of information appear next to the Level 20 Non-Rebirth individual’s name: Accumulated Bet Amount – 20 Eternal Gold Coins! "What?!" At this, everyone was dumbfounded, including the three Alliance Hierarchs at the Academy Alliance Headquarters. Previously, they had assumed this person was being self-destructive. But now, a bet amount equal to his level’s maximum limit had appeared next to his name, forcing everyone to reconsider their assumptions. Everyone believed this person was undoubtedly doomed in this competition zone. Under such circumstances, a bet amount had still appeared next to his name, and it was precisely the maximum betting limit for a Level 20. Other than the participant himself, who else would place such a bet? Didn’t this mean that he hadn’t chosen this competition zone out of self-destruction, but rather due to excessive confidence? Yet, this realization left the three Alliance Hierarchs even more speechless. When did Earth produce such an arrogant person? This is sheer Contempt for Everything! A mere Level 20 Non-Rebirth daring to challenge all the top experts among the max-level second-transition warriors in the entire Milky Way? "Too arrogant! Absolutely too arrogant! Even with talent, one shouldn’t be this arrogant. This child might indeed be exceptionally talented, but ’the tree that stands tallest in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind.’ Excessive arrogance leads only to destruction!" Jiang Yun felt a pang of regret. If he were merely a self-destructive person, it would be one thing. But if a truly powerful genius were to die because of his own arrogance, it would indeed be a terrible waste. Just then, Belinda, who was nearby, remarked, "Could this person be the one who previously triggered the Sound of the Great Path of The Lonely God of War?" Hearing this, Markus, also nearby, couldn’t help but agree it was highly probable. "It must be. Otherwise, a Level 20 Non-Rebirth professional wouldn’t be so arrogant. Unless his strength is exceptionally astounding. If he is indeed the one who triggered the Sound of the Great Path of The Lonely God of War, then he certainly has the grounds to be proud."
