Soon enough, the time for the Card Competition was up. Wei Huo had to participate in the competition. His card creation skill had broken through to level 20 and reached the level-three Rare rank. At this stage, upgrading his skill level was going to be tough.

However, Wei Huo considered the term ‘Adventurer’.

One day in the sky, 100 days on the ground, and 200 years of micro-adjustment would pass soon. Then, the Adventurers would descend!

This was a strange concern.

Wei Huo was still feeling a little worried.

“Why do they use the word ‘descend’?” Wei Huo mumbled to himself.

The convention began and the audience seats were filled. The host said loudly to boost the atmosphere, “This once-in-a-century Card Competition has finally begun! The total number of players participating in this competition is one. We will use a cruel elimination system. Only the strongest player will defeat a strong enemy and reach the top!”

The crowd started cheering.

The host added, “This is going to be an exciting competition. One player will have an intense card battle during this competition. The loser will be eliminated in each round until the champion is decided!”

Wei Huo could not help but ask, “What’s going on?”

His worry was washed away by the humorous host. How intense could a one-player competition be? Besides, there were many spectators.

Many audience members said, “I’m really looking forward to it. I heard that this will be the most exciting match ever.”

“Yes! I’m ready to stay up late to watch it!”

“You guys have no idea how much effort I made to get this ticket!”

Wei Huo was confused.

However, there was only one player in this game!

Wei Huo felt out of place. He had the feeling that since everyone was either a god or a human, and both kinds were NPCs or players, he should not care.

However, he felt uncomfortable knowing that they were all humans who were connected to each other in a lot of ways.

Wei Huo thought of a movie called ‘The Matrix’. Everything the world saw in that movie was fake. Only the protagonists knew the truth and saved everyone.

However… The host was quite humorous, and so was the audience.

The host picked up the microphone and said, “I hereby announce… the beginning of the competition!”

The crowd went wild as it cheered.

However, the host did not continue. He stood there for three seconds. After the audience’s voices subsided, he picked up the microphone again and said, “I hereby announce… the end of the competition! The champion is Wei Huo!”

The crowd burst into thunderous applause. Everyone started shouting, “Wei Huo! Wei Huo!”

Some audience members said, “This ticket was really worth it. Exciting competitions like this are rare!”

“That’s right! That’s right! Did you guys watch the competition just now? It was really exciting. It was probably the most exciting competition in history, right?”

“Stop talking. From now on, Wei Huo will be my fan… No, I was wrong. My fan will be Wei Huo… That doesn’t seem right either.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

The actors were so funny that they wanted to make fun of the players.

However, Wei Huo did not laugh.

“Quest complete. You have received 30 Divine Realm Reputation Points, three Random Epic-ranked cards, and one slot to enter the Divine Ruins.”

The host bowed before everyone. “Thank you for your support. Thank you for this exciting competition!”

Wei Huo blurted out, “Did no one complain about the three-second match?”

No…

At that thought, Wei Huo’s imposing aura suddenly spread out uncontrollably. Everyone who was shrouded by it felt a suffocating pressure and deep loneliness within their hearts.
