"Xie Lin, you are looking for death!"Yu Meng was full of murderous intent.
The short and thin man Xie Lin sneered, "Hahaha, I'm looking for death, what can you do to me? If you have the guts, do it here. Do you dare?"
Yu Meng stood up instantly, with tremendous power gathering.
Swish swish!
Immediately, several cold gazes were cast over from the judges' booth.
Yu Meng's body stiffened, he gritted his teeth and sat down again.
"Haha, you coward! You, Yuxia Universe, are all cowards!"
Seeing this, Xie Ling became even more sarcastic.
After that, facing Yu Meng's angry eyes, he said sarcastically:
"Oh, I forgot, after the competition you don't deserve to have a name anymore, you should be called Universe No. 578, haha!"
"You are the only universe that has been stripped of its name in thousands of years. This is so shameful, Yu Meng. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to sit here. I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself!"
"Thanks! Lin!"
Yu Mengteng stood up again, his eyes wide open, furious.
"Don't be so loud, I'm not deaf!"
Xie Ling scratched his ears and sneered:
"Enjoy your last bit of peace and quiet. After the competition, we will turn your universe... into hell!"
"Hahahaha!"
Xie Ling laughed wildly and turned away.
Yu Meng turned around and looked at the players from his universe who were almost eliminated from the competition, and clenched his fists tightly.
……
Tenth Division.
"Congratulations, the number of players in this division has been reduced to 100. The competition in this division and this stage has ended. Congratulations to all the qualified players. Please carefully check the entry requirements for the next stage and participate on time."
An electronic synthesized sound rang out, and all the remaining contestants in the competition area breathed a sigh of relief.
"We've advanced, we've all advanced!"
Shi Guang’s three teammates shouted excitedly and hugged each other.
Shi Guang was also very excited. After hugging his three teammates, he turned to look at Lin Yang and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Lin Yang, for leading us to the next round."
The three teammates immediately said at the same time: "Thank you, Mr. Lin Yang, for helping us advance!"
Their eyes were all eager.
After all, if Lin Yang hadn't protected them, apart from Shi Guang, the three of them would have no hope of advancing at all.
However, now under Lin Yang's protection, the three of them actually successfully advanced. This was a huge surprise.
Lin Yang waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite.
Then, the competition venue suddenly shook, and all the qualified players were moved out instantly.
Outside the arena, Hei Le immediately trotted over and got close to Lin Yang, his face wrinkled with smiles, and he kept saying respectfully:
"Mr. Lin Yang, you are so amazing. I don't know how to thank you. If you have any needs, please let me know at any time. We will do our best to serve you!"
Heile used honorifics directly, he was really excited.
Originally, it was planned to invite Lin Yang and Shi Guang to join forces, and it would be a blessing to be able to ensure Shi Guang's advancement.
But now, four people have advanced to the second stage!
This is a huge surprise for their entire universe!
He couldn't help but be excited!
Heile looked at Lin Yang, feeling extremely fortunate that he had thought of inviting Lin Yang to cooperate.
Although they paid some extraordinary active substances, it was obvious that they made a lot of money in this deal!
Lin Yang smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lord Heile. This is a win-win cooperation. If it weren't for your contestant, it would have taken me a lot of effort to advance."
He was telling the truth.
During the melee phase, if he was not protected by Shi Guang and others, he would also have to expend a lot of energy and physical strength.
Although I will be able to advance successfully in the end, it will never be as easy as it is now.
Heile said after hearing this: "Mr. Lin Yang, you are too kind. Even without Shi Guang and the others, you will definitely be able to advance successfully!"
Lin Yang nodded slightly, then said: "I will go back to rest first, and see you in the second stage if we are lucky."
His current degree of fusion of that extraordinary spatial substance is less than 50%, so he still has to hurry up and integrate it.
"Okay, okay, then we won't waste any more of your time, Mr. Lin Yang. You should take a good rest. You are alone here. If you need anything, please tell me at any time and I will take care of it for you!" Hei Le said again.
"Okay." Lin Yang nodded and left.
After Lin Yang left, several other universe leaders who were familiar with Hei Le came over and said to Hei Le in a sour tone:
"Heile, you are so good. So you want Lord Lin Yang to help your players advance. You are such a cunning person. You can't invite Lord Lin Yang to fight on behalf of your universe, but you actually came up with this kind of compromise!"
"That's right, four players advanced to the second stage. This is the best result your universe has had in many years, right?"
"Look at the way you're showing off, you really deserve a beating!"
Several people spoke up one after another, and their envious and jealous looks made Heile laugh:
"Haha, I can only say that you are too stupid. You just want to ask Mr. Lin Yang to fight on behalf of your universe, but you don't even think about how it is possible that he has such strength without the support of cosmic civilization behind him?"
"They probably have special reasons for choosing to compete as free agents from a neutral universe. It's a bit unrealistic to invite them to represent your universe!"
Several people were stunned for a moment.
Heile then said proudly: "So, why not settle for the next best thing and ask others to help your players advance in the competition? You can't even understand this, you deserve to be eliminated!"
"..."
Several people fell silent.
Then, someone said unhappily, “Hmph, don’t be too proud. You may not be so lucky in the next stage and be matched with Mr. Lin Yang in the same competition area again.”
"That's right, damn Heile, we'll let you take the lead this time, but in the second stage, we'll also invite Lord Lin Yang, and we'll see who has better luck!"
Heile didn't care about these guys' bullying, but became more and more proud:
"Hehe, there are only ten competition areas in the second stage, and the chance of matching is greatly increased. If our players are matched with Lord Lin Yang in the same competition area at the same time, with the first friendship, do you think Lord Lin Yang will continue to agree to cooperate with me, or with you?"
"..." They were silent again.
Then someone was so angry that his teeth itched and said, "Heile, don't show off. When the time comes, we'll see if you can afford the price of inviting Mr. Lin Yang to cooperate!"
"Hmph, that's it!"
After they finished talking, they turned around and walked away. It seemed that they were all thinking about how to invite Lin Yang to cooperate in the second stage.
Heile was not angry, but remained complacent.
For him, the current results are completely unexpected.
Even if I can’t continue to be matched with Lin Yang in the future, it doesn’t matter if I am eliminated.
So he was in a good mood and said to Shi Guang and the others:
"Don't feel pressured. We have already achieved our goal. We just need to go as far as we can from now on."
Shi Guang and the others nodded.
Hei Le waved his hand again and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to celebrate and let you experience some of the special delicacies of the Universal Alliance. This will make this trip worthwhile!"
……
Exclusive rest area for the players who advance from the competition area.
Lin Yang was assigned to a separate villa.
This is a privilege and benefit only available to mid-level super gene warrior players.
The other qualified contestants will not be able to get a separate large villa area, but instead a row of lounges.
Unless you pay for a hotel stay.
But the hotels here are very expensive, and the prices are not affordable for ordinary people.
At least most of the contestants can't afford it.
After inspecting the villa, Lin Yang directly began to integrate the space characteristic material again.
It is just a little bit away from reaching 50% fusion.
If everything goes well, Lin Yang will be able to raise the fusion degree to 50% within half a month. And this is also thanks to his cooperation with Heile this time, which allowed Shiguang and others to block most of the attacks for him in the early stage of the game, saving him a lot of physical strength and energy.
Otherwise, he would have to spend some time to recover his strength.
Each stage of this competition lasts for a month, but in fact it can usually be completed in a few days.
The remaining time is also to allow the players to have sufficient time to recover their energy for the next stage of the competition.
Lin Yang is now using the time that was originally needed to recover his strength to integrate the space-property material.
Ten days later.
The degree of fusion of space characteristic matter has reached 50%.
At this time, there are still more than ten days before the start of the second stage.
"It was indeed a wise decision to cooperate with Heile before, otherwise I would have only just recovered my strength in these ten days." Lin Yang sighed.
Ten days might not be enough for other contestants to accomplish much, but for him it would be of great help.
It is enough to allow him to improve the degree of fusion of special substances.
“If I can still find a match in the second stage, or if someone from other universes wants to cooperate with me, we can still work together.” Lin Yang whispered silently.
Cooperation can not only save his own energy, but also bring extra benefits. For him, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.
Although the number of people in each zone in the second stage was reduced from one thousand to five hundred, these five hundred people can be said to be the elite among the elites.
Except for a very few lucky ones, those who can advance to the second stage from the melee of thousands of people in the first stage all have certain outstanding qualities.
So even though the number of people is reduced by half, the pressure will only be greater than in the first stage.
Only then did Lin Yang understand why the fat old man repeatedly told him to wait until he advanced into the top 100 before changing the initial universe for the competition.
In this early stage of chaos, if the top leaders of Universe No. 364 and the Universe Alliance that cooperates with them secretly make tricks, bring all the elite seeded players into the same competition area with him and target him at the same time, he really may not be able to advance.
But it’s different after the top 100, as the top 100 competition is an individual competition.
Moreover, the Top 100 competition will receive the attention of all the top leaders of the Universe Alliance, and it will be almost impossible for the people from Universe 364 to make any interference.
Therefore, there is no such thing as someone from Universe 364 matching super-strong seeded players to compete against him in advance and then eliminating him.
If anyone wants to engage in shady dealings during the Top 100 competition, it would be difficult for Universe 364, or even the few high-ranking members of the Universe Alliance who cooperate with them, to do anything under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The matching mechanism of the top 100 competition cannot be interfered by any single or multiple high-level officials of the Universe Alliance. Unless they obtain the unanimous consent of all the high-level officials of the entire Universe Alliance and provide all the key authorizations, they can change the mechanism and conduct insider manipulation.
But this is obviously impossible.
Therefore, after entering the top 100 competition, there will basically be no more shady dealings.
At that time, if he declared to fight for this universe again, no matter how angry the people of Universe 364 were, they would not be able to do anything to him.
"This old man..."
Lin Yang sighed slightly in his heart. The fat old man had considered everything for him.
He initiated a message and contacted the fat old man.
It was not to tell the fat old man that he had advanced to the second stage.
But...
"Senior, can you give me another Beyonder Material?"
After the communication was connected, Lin Yang spoke directly.
The fat old man was obviously stunned when he heard this, and then he said uncertainly: "You still need extraordinary properties of matter, do you want to continue to fuse a second one?"
"Yes, I have already integrated 50% of the spatial property substance. I cannot achieve 100% integration in the remaining time, so I might as well try to integrate the second property substance."
Lin Yang nodded and expressed his thoughts:
"With my fusion efficiency, maybe I can increase the fusion degree of the second characteristic substance to 50% before the final competition begins."
"By then, I will have two extraordinary characteristics, so the chances of competing for the top ten should be much greater."
For substances with fusion characteristics, one does not need to be completely fused before the second one can be fused.
As long as it can possess multiple characteristics at the same time, it can fuse different characteristic substances at the same time.
For example, what he showed to the fat old man now was that he could possess three characteristics, so he could fuse three kinds of extraordinary characteristic materials at the same time.
As for which one you want to merge first, it all depends on your mood.
Just like now that 50% of the space characteristic material has been integrated, if he doesn't want to continue integrating it, he can start integrating the second characteristic material.
After the second characteristic substance is fused to 50%, if he doesn't want to continue, he can continue to fuse the third one.
But usually, one would choose to complete the complete fusion of an extraordinary substance first.
Because the difference between 50% fusion and complete fusion is huge.
But the higher the degree of fusion, the slower the fusion speed.
For example, Lin Yang only needs a month or so to fuse a special substance to 30% degree of fusion.
However, if you want to increase the degree of fusion of a characteristic substance from 50% to complete fusion, the time required is more than several times the total time required to fusion to 50% before.
So actually Lin Yang has no choice now.
If there is not enough time, you can only fuse the second characteristic substance first.
If you don't have enough strength, you can make up for it with numbers.
"..."The fat old man remained silent.
He was somewhat surprised by Lin Yang's words.
After a long silence, he slowly said:
"Are you sure? Your first spatial characteristic substance has not yet been completely integrated, and your physical strength is only at the level of a medium-level super elite warrior. If you integrate two characteristics into your body at the same time, you may not be able to bear it."
"It's okay, senior. I want to give it a try. If I can't bear it, I will stop in time." Lin Yang said.
"This... I still think it's better to master one first, and then you can try to fuse the space characteristic substances. After 50%, every additional 10% will increase the characteristic power a lot. Instead of taking the risk of fusing the second one, it's better to try to increase the degree of fusion of space characteristic substances to 60% in the remaining month or so."
The fat old man persuaded again.
"Uh... Senior, to be honest, I know the efficiency and speed of fusion. The remaining time may not be enough to achieve 60% fusion."
Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, and told the truth:
"But if I fuse the second special substance, even if I can't fuse it to 50%, I'm sure I can fuse it to 30%."
“……”The fat old man fell silent again.
This time there was silence for about half a minute, and then the fat old man sighed and said:
"I really haven't seen enough of the world. In just over a month, you're actually confident that you can fuse the second characteristic substance to 30%?!"
He was shocked.
Because the difficulty of fusion will increase with each additional characteristic substance fused.
This is also the reason why many extraordinary warriors are unable to forcibly fuse multiple special substances.
But Lin Yang actually said that he was confident that he could fuse 30% of the second characteristic substance within a month, which really left the fat old man speechless.
After he finished speaking, the fat old man was silent for a while, and then he asked solemnly: "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to try to fuse the second special substance?"
"Yes!" Lin Yang nodded seriously.
"Well, in that case, I will go and prepare the second Beyonder Material for you."
Seeing that Lin Yang had made up his mind, the fat old man stopped talking and said before cutting off the communication:
"In six hours, you will leave the contestant villa area where you are currently and go to a remote place in the city to wait. There are protections set up by the old guys from the Universe Alliance in the contestant villa area. I don't want to alert them. Now is not the best time to reveal your identity."
"understand!"
Lin Yang nodded immediately.
