70 Preliminary Rounds (2/2)

” but one at a time would take so much time? right? ”

Ace clapped his hands as the rocks split into multiple square cubes as the cubes slowly fell down onto the ground. There were small microchips attached to the cubes as Ace picked up a cube and threw it to one of the male in the crowd. On the screen his picture appeared Along with ” Cultivation level - XxxX”

” His cultivation has been measured, but for security reasons, we will keep your cultivation levels a secret. only i would know them and you will be paired accordingly. ” So i invite you all to pick up one rock each and register for the tournament. May the strongest win! ”

There was an uproar in the crowd as the people rushed towards the rocks. some were sceptical but they knew that they won't be able to participate if they don't register themselves.

those who were to be backed by the sects were calm as they didn't need to rush among the crowd. Ace already gave the sects all the things that they would need before hand. The sect leaders and representatives already registered their important disciples in the competition.

Ace looked at people trying to get the rock cubes one after another as he spoke again ” Those who do not get to register today would be allowed to register later but they will be directly assigned last position. The fight for the top 1000 would take place tomorrow, today you all can rest while the auction for the first 300 slots are held. ”

Ace said as the crowd listened to him while being busy and in a hurry to register themselves. Ace walked out of the stadium and into his lab though the cave as he looked at another camera inside. there were rooms assigned to every sect's important individuals.

They had a screen on which they would be able to bid. Ace's face appeared on their screen after the view of the stadium as he smiled at them from within the war devil armor. ” Now those who agree to participate in the auction can send the books you have into the Hidden slot that is available in your room. There is a red button besides the bed, pressing which would open a slot in the wall on the right. remember, the more book you send in, the higher your rank. ”

As soon as Han shuya and others heard this, they left the common room and headed for their bedroom. it wasn't appropriate for them to show others their bids. Ace also placed this system in place because the Sects won't know who bid how much and would be forced to guess and bid more. ” You all can see the rank of your geniuses in real time on the screen. There will be sect names on the display and you can bid for the multiple slots. you can specify on the screen as to for how many slots you want to bid and your books contribution would be divided into the number of slots. ”

he also added ” Of course, if you are unable to qualify for top 300, your books will be returned. The contribution would be counted based on the level of the techniques as higher rank techniques would be assigned more points compared to low rank techniques. This also applies based on attribute as fire, light and few other attributes would be given priority and such books would receive more points...”

He finished his speech as behind him, there was a huge vault, slowly it started filling up with books.

” Haha, this is a huge harvest! quick Alice! scan them and feed them to my brain as soon as possible! I also need to change, give me some clothes. I need make an appearance as Shen Tiancai! ”
