Chapter 411: Good News!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The auditions have concluded!

The fourth round was full of ups and downs. The shocking battle royale was like a rehearsal for the main competition, making everyone look forward to it even more.

Especially in the last two one-on-one intense battles, Wang Ye defeated Harriman, and Ah Pu defeated Lunnabe.

Not only did they eliminate two contestants who were highly anticipated before the competition and were known as top-ten in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition, but they also signaled the formidable arrival of new talents!

This batch of newcomers was exceptionally formidable, claiming a remarkable five spots within the top ten!

Led by Ah Pu in the first position, followed by Wu Yunduo in fourth, Lou Gongqiong in seventh, Sha Zi in eighth, and Wang Ye in the tenth, these super rookies showcased their prowess and stood toe-to-toe with the veterans.

“The newcomers are making a strong impact, and the old guard seems a bit overwhelmed.”

“Not necessarily. During the auditions, the newcomers’ information was limited, while the veterans were thoroughly studied. It’ll be a different story in the main competition. With transparent information for everyone, no one will have an advantage and true strength will be revealed.”

“Haha, regardless, we’ll meet again in five cosmic years.”

“True, the main competition will undoubtedly provide more preparation time. The matches will be more exciting then.”

“Exactly, looking forward to the clashes between the old and the new!”

The main competition’s 10,000 slots have been finalized.

Different cosmic nations experienced a mix of joy and disappointment.

The three powerhouses of the Taishi Starfield remained formidable. Even Taiwu Cosmic Nation, failing to secure a spot in the top three, held positions four and six, showcasing strong competitiveness.

The top qualifier position was secured by Heidun Cosmic Nation, ranking fourth in the cosmic nations.

However, the most astonishing feat came from Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.

Ranked 79th in Taishi Starfield, this small cosmic nation produced a remarkable newcomer who not only eliminated Harriman, a top-ten contestant from Ji Yanan Cosmic Nation but also entered the main competition with a tenth-place finish!

Such an occurrence was exceptionally rare in the history of genius selection battles.

Aside from Wang Ye, Lan Jia secured the 83rd position, and Fu Yumo held the 97th spot.

Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, despite being a small nation, stood out among the 105 cosmic nations, claiming three spots within the top 100. This was a truly commendable achievement.

It was worth noting that more than half of the 105 cosmic nations didn’t even have a participant in the top 100.

Among them, Red River Cosmic Nation suffered the most.

Their leader, Xi Yan, was eliminated, and coupled with a significant setback from Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation in the fourth round, Red River Cosmic Nation only had 25 participants advancing to the main competition.

The highest-ranking participant, Amudo, secured the 372nd position.

Overall, they found themselves at the bottom among the 105 cosmic nations, subjected to ridicule.

Wang Ye played a pivotal role in this outcome, earning him infamy in Red River Cosmic Nation.

Lemei Planet, Mingxia Manor.

At this moment, the object of disdain for the people of Red River Cosmic Nation received a reward from Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.

100 million dark crystals!

100,000 achievement points!

Ten pots of azure mountain soil!

Among these, besides the ten plates of azure mountain soil being transported by Yunlan Cosmic Logistics, dark crystals, and achievement points have already been directly credited. The influential figures in the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation are quite pleased.

“110,000 achievement points.” Wang Ye observed.

For an ordinary person, this was already a considerable amount. Even for someone of slave origin, surpassing 100,000 achievement points would allow them to ascend to the rank of a 3-star cosmic citizen.

He was only 890,000 achievement points away from becoming a 4-star cosmic citizen of the cosmic nation.

It seemed like there were still quite a few, but if he could secure one of the three promotion spots in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition, a million achievement points would be within easy reach.

Becoming a 4-star citizen was a significant milestone, representing true power and status within the cosmic nation. In the cosmic human domain, it marked the transition from a low-grade cosmic citizen to a medium-grade one.

“There are still 280 million dark crystals,” Wang Ye checked his balance.

Although it appeared to be a substantial amount, he was currently spending more.

Upgrading his internal world from level one to level two required around 100 million dark crystals, and on average, his internal world would absorb about 400,000 dark crystals every cosmic day. Over a cosmic year, this consumption would amount to about 15 million dark crystals.

The growth of the divine tree of life within his body also demanded a considerable investment. A fourth-grade life elixir required close to 10 million dark crystals in a cosmic year.

And this was before considering any equipment purchases. To contend with the geniuses of the cosmic nation, he needed top-grade dark energy equipment.

The top 100 contestants like Xi Yan and Harriman were equipped with two indestructible artifacts or cosmic supreme treasures, showcasing their immense wealth. In contrast, Wang Ye only possessed two indestructible artifacts and a single supreme treasure component.

He had two battle blades, the Space-lock Saber, a special Dark Energy-level equipment, valued at around 100 million dark crystals.

The Time Oblivion Tooth Blade, a top-rank Dark Energy-level equipment, was estimated to be worth about 60 million dark crystals.

As for the top-rank Dark Energy-level equipment, Baiqi’s Seven-layered Tower, stolen from the Chimeng family, its value was less than even 10 million dark crystals.

“The imperial family of the Azure Mountain cosmic nation remains somewhat arrogant and exclusive.”

“However, this is related to my rejection of Emperor Yunlai.”

Wang Ye was fully aware that if he promptly headed to the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, accepted their amnesty, and underwent the imperial family’s training, his treatment would be entirely different. Leaving aside other benefits, he would, at the very least, obtain one or more indestructible artifacts.

Yes, the right to use.

The cosmic nation is not short of geniuses, what they lack are obedient geniuses.

The Dark Energy Hidden Dragon selection concluded its preliminary auditions.

Because the number of participants advancing to the main competition was ten times that of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, it took a bit longer.

Yao and Nante both bowed out in the fourth round.

Wang Ye finished watching the final battles.

It was somewhat regrettable.

Nante was too audacious, coupled with a strength focused on offense and a weakness in defense.

As the starfield continued to shrink through consecutive battles, he was ultimately eliminated by top-ranked opponents.

“If he hangs on a bit longer, he could have made it.” Wang Ye looked at Nante with regret.

Nante’s performance on the battlefield was outstanding, providing a real chance to enter the main competition.

“That’s not my style,” Nante chuckled. “I’m just here for a good fight. Whether I enter or not doesn’t matter; entering the main competition just turns me into cannon fodder.”

Wang Ye sighed, finding no way to argue with him.

Turning his gaze to Yao, he asked, “And you, why did you deliberately lose?”

Huh?

Nante stared at Yao in bewilderment.

“I… I just don’t want to,” Yao said five words, struggling to find more words.

Wang Ye, looking at him, understood.

Yao didn’t want to draw attention to himself because he was still under the control of the Chimeng family. Entering the main competition would bring more harm than good, making it even harder to break free from the Chimeng family’s influence and potentially affecting the transfer of the Blue Planet.

“Got it.” Wang Ye patted Yao’s shoulder.

Among brothers, there was no need for many words.

Many were eliminated in the preliminary auditions.

Even Ke Yuanzhen and Ke Yuanqi, the siblings, were defeated in the preliminary selection.

Of the individuals Wang Ye knew from the Milky Way Ace Team, only one had made it to the main competition.

The Starry Sky Bracelet lit up, and the call was connected.

Wu Mohan’s figure appeared with a faint smile.

“Congratulations, Brother Wang Ye, on advancing to the main competition. Your name has become known in the Taishi Starfield,” Wu Mohan exclaimed cheerfully.

“Likewise,” Wang Ye replied after checking the promotion list.

Wu Mohan entered the main competition in 1865th place.

Not only did he successfully advance, but his ranking was also decent, avoiding the risk of being on the edge of qualification.

“Haha, luckily the final format suits me,” Wu Mohan laughed. “Coming from a military camp, we excel in chaotic battles. If we had to go through tests one by one, 1 reckon I wouldn’t even make it to the fourth round…”

The two chatted for a while.

From Wu Mohan, Wang Ye learned some information about the top ten contestants.

“After the competition, did Brother Wang receive many solicitations?” Wu Mohan asked.

“Not many, almost all of the top 20 cosmic nations came forward, except for your Taiwu Cosmic Nation,” Wang Ye replied.

Wu Mohan nodded. “The higher-ups did approach me, they let me ask about your intentions to change allegiance. Since you originated from the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation territory, without roots or clansmen, changing your nationality would be convenient. However, I understand you value loyalty and are unlikely to consider it.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Wang Ye smiled.

Even if one values relationships, the choice depends on the target. His connection with the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation was merely a fleeting encounter.

“Really?” Wu Mohan’s eyes lit up. He said happily, “Then you should seriously consider our Taiwu Cosmic Nation. The conditions offered by the higher-ups are favorable, be it resources, equipment, or development. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

“Okay,” Wang Ye said. “I’ll consider it.”

The call ended.

Wang Ye’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the Starry Sky Bracelet.

Indeed, many cosmic nations sought to recruit him, but the Red River Cosmic Nation was not among them.

It was understandable, considering that, compared to other cosmic nations, the Red River Cosmic Nation had no advantages and was even at a disadvantage. Moreover, he and the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation were arch-enemies, not to mention the incident during the selection…

That was the one where he pressed the Red River Cosmic Nation’s contestant to the ground and gave him a good beating!

Forget about recruiting him, they probably still held a grudge against him.

Suddenly, the Starry Sky Bracelet lit up again.

It was a call from Yi Chongqing.

“The Chimeng family agreed?” Wang Ye asked, pleasantly surprised.

Finally, some good news!

On the 55th floor of the Lexing Tower,

12 million dark crystals, and you secured it?” Wang Ye exclaimed in delight.

He had initially thought that gaining control of the Blue Planet would cost him 100 million dark crystals.

Yi Chongqing smiled. “For the Chimeng family, whether it’s 10 million or 100 million dark crystals, it’s essentially a premium value far higher than that of a special four-star planet. The difference is not that significant.”

“Their quoted price serves two main purposes, which were greed and test us.”

“We insisted on 10 million dark crystals until the last moment, only then offering a final price of 12 million dark crystals.”

“Making the Chimeng family completely give up.”

Wang Ye nodded.

In this regard, Brother Qing was indeed more knowledgeable than him.

The Chimeng family was testing whether the Blue Planet was a special planet of the space-time system or a special planet of time or space.

The former was very expensive, costing over 100 billion dark crystals for even just a four-star life planet.

Thus, the Chimeng family had initially bid 1 billion, given the potential 1% profit value from the special planet as reported.

Brother Qing held firm at 10 million, effectively indicating that the Blue Planet was not special in the space-time system.

This probability was extremely low, and even a time-type special planet was extremely rare.

As for time-type special planets, their value ranged from at least 10 million dark crystals to a maximum of over too million dark crystals.

Compared to the proposed 100 million dark crystals, the Chimeng family ultimately chose 12 million, making a relatively safe and wise decision.

“I’ve arranged for Chiya King to complete the transfer procedures on Huizhi Planet. It will be done in about 25 cosmic days,” Yi Chongqing smiled, raising his glass.

“Wait for my good news.”

“Alright.” Wang Ye smiled, clinking glasses..
