Chapter 310: Damage Test (2/2)
”Good, you have 2 more chances. Do you want to use it?” Fu Zhen asked. Tian Hao thought for a few seconds and nodded. He attacked the puppet twice more, but the result was the same.
”Okay. Tian Hao from the Undying sect. The highest attack is at Meridian Tempering - 6th Realm,” Fu Zhen announced.
”Next up is Hua Mexin from Hanging Fruit sect,” Fu Zhen announced.
Alex watched from the seating area and was a little confused, ”Is… is it going to be just this for the next 300 or so turns?” he asked.
”Yes. This will work as an introduction for the audience to the various people fighting in the competition. Besides, it won't take just as long as the first one. Since the others know what to do, they won't take much time,” Ma Rong said.
”Alright,” Alex said and looked back at the stage.
The elemental damage-taking puppet had a <Meridian Tempering 9th realm> hovering on the screen above it. The lady who just attacked, however, decided to not attack twice, and it was time for the next contestant.
”Oh, she must be confident in her skill huh. Is the peak of Meridian tempering really that strong?” Alex asked.
”It should get you to the Top 50 in terms of strength with just that,” Ma Rong said.
”Oh, then the overall strength must no— ” Suddenly, gasps rang out from the people. Alex turned around to see that the physical puppet had 4 words hovering over it.
Seeing those words made him stop speaking and rethink what he was going to say.
<Mind Tempering -4th Realm>
”Who is that guy?” Alex asked as he looked down below. The guy was wearing a white robe and had a smug smile on his face.
”Tsk. I want to punch that face.”
Alex looked to the side with surprise when he heard Ma Rong speak that sentence. ”What?” He asked in confusion.
”Sigh, never mind. I just hate that robe,” Ma Rong said.
Alex looked back and focused on that robe and realized where he had seen it before. ”Ah, it's that guy's sect,” Alex said as he remembered Sect Leader Li of the Golden Eagle sect who tried to flirt with Ma Rong.
No wonder she was getting annoyed.
”Did they never take part in the production competitions?” Alex asked.
”Probably not. Their sect is a normal one like the Tiger sect, so a few might have taken part in different competitions. But none were good enough to stand out.
”I see,” Alex said.
The Damage test actually went far faster than Alex would've thought it would. Every minute new people were being tested, sometimes 2 or even 3.
In half an hour, nearly 50 people were already tested.
Amongst those people, only 3 people managed to go beyond the Mind Tempering realm. Alex soon realized how hard it was to find a Mind Tempering expert in the Crimson Empire that was also below 25 years of age.
