Chapter 325: Maze Rules (1/2)
Alex reached the waiting room and stood around looking at his opponents he would have to fight against.
Honor Sect, Golden Eagle sect, Royal Fu Academy; All the different big sects as well as the small ones had sent in some people to take part in the competition.
Alex was the only one from the Hong Wu sect to come here.
'Maze Run… it can't just be a simple maze clearing game right? Even mortals can do that. The most cultivators would be able to speed up the game. There has to be some other twists to the game,' Alex thought.
”Oh, Brother Yu, you are here too,” A voice came from behind him. Alex turned around to see Yang Ma and 2 other disciples of the Tiger sect. Judging from the orange linings on their yellow robe, they were core disciples too.
”I guess we are going to be opponents for now,” Alex said.
”Don't be like that, Brother Yu. Just ask us for help if you need it; we will give it to you,” Yang Ma said.
”Sure,” Alex said.
”Everyone, please gather in front of the stage,” Fu Zhen's voice sounded from outside.
One by one, everyone started leaving the waiting room. Alex passed the familiar barrier that checked his participation in the entrance. Once out of it, he stopped where everyone had stopped outside of the stage's opaque barrier.
He thought he would have to wait around a lot, but as soon as the participants gathered, a little space in the barrier opened and Fu Zhen walked out of there.
”Green?” Alex thought when he saw a glimpse of the color behind Fu Zhen.
”Welcome everyone to the Maze run. As this is the final non battle competition, we will try to make it the most fun.”
”Before I show you or the audience the maze, I will now relay some of the rules of the competition,” Fu Zhen said. A group of people walked from either side of Fu Zhen and made their way towards the participants.
”Please lock away all of your storage bags inside the boxes. You will not be allowed anything other than your clothes inside the stage,” Fu Zhen said.
Alex was used to it so he brought out his storage bags and locked them away without hesitation. Within half a minutes, everyone was done locking away their bags.
”The staff will now place 3 talismans on your back. Please do not take them off,” Fu Zhen siad.
PAT PAT PAT PAT
Sounds appeared from all over the area as the staff members started slapping on talismans behind their back. Alex also felt 3 light slaps on his back. He reached behind to feel his back and found 3 talismans exposed for the world to see.
Then the staff members handed them another talisman. While the ones on the back were yellowish brown in color, the one they were handed were red talismans.
Everyone was confused.
”The purpose of the competition is to enter the maze and come out of the other side the fastest you can. You are not allowed to fight inside the maze or use your cultivation and abilities to make it hard for others to move. ”
