Chapter 3733: Battle begins
Editor: Henyee Translations
In the tournament, there were three types of spectator mode, tournament stage mode, and Galaxy Network Level Battles.
In the spectator mode, you could just sit in your room, and then you could browse through all the lists of battles that were taking place, or were about to take place. If you wanted to watch, you could just choose directly.
If this battle was not set up as a fee-paying mode, they could watch as they liked, but if it was set up as a fee-paying mode, they would have to pay to be able to watch.
If you retreated after watching half of it, you would have to pay a new fee for entering again.
There were two types of tournament stages. The first was defending champion mode, wherein you would set up your own tournament stage and allow challengers to enter. The second was challenge mode, wherein you would seek out defending champions to issue challenges.
Whether it was defending champion mode or challenge mode, there were a great many different types, such as matching of similar cultivation level, a one-on-one battle, a one-on-many battle, or a battle royale.
Of course, for everyone, the most important thing was still the Galaxy Network Level Battles, because they could only obtain points through this kind of battle, and be ranked accordingly.
Previously, it was said that someone was ranked 8o,oooth and 200,000th on the Galaxy Network, and that was through the Galaxy Network Level Battles.
With a thought from Ling Han, a virtual screen instantly appeared in front of him. There were three options on it, and they were spectator mode, tournament stage mode, and Galaxy Network Level Battles.
The Galaxy Network soul would only guide him at the entry level, and he could only operate on his own at other times. Thankfully, this was a completely mature virtual world. Even if there had been some small problems in the past, they would definitely have been fixed long ago.
Ling Han couldn’t possibly spend money to watch people fight. He was here to earn money.
Thus, he resolutely chose the tournament stage mode.
He chose to become the defending champion, and set the price for coming in to challenge him. A challenger would have to pay a Universe Coin, and if he lost, he would have to pay another ten Universe Coins.
Of course, it was the same if Ling Han lost. Ling Han would compensate the challenger with 10 Universe Coins.
The stakes were directly taken by the Galaxy Network platform. Whoever came in would immediately have ten Universe Coins taken, and whoever won would get it.
What was worse was that no matter who won or lost, the Galaxy Network platform would collect a service charge of ten thousandth the stakes.
It didn’t seem like much, but who knew how many people were fighting like this every day and every moment. That was a terrifying amount.
Moreover, Ling Han’s Universe Coins had been docked when he opened the tournament stage. This could not be refunded.
Ling Han waited and waited, but he kept seeing no one come in to challenge him.
He called up the tournament forum, and planned to ask what was going on.
Yi?
He was astounded, because he saw a main theme post that wrote, “An idiot has shockingly appeared, setting up a tournament stage and actually asking for money.”
Er, this wasn’t talking about him, was it?
Ling Han stretched out a hand and tapped on the virtual screen. This thread immediately opened.
Someone wrote a few words, and sure enough, they were targeting him. They mocked him mercilessly, and said that a rookie actually wanted to collect money for setting up a tournament stage, and was just thinking about money.
Actually, it was not inconceivable that one would have to pay to challenge others. Otherwise, the tournament would not have such a setting.
Most importantly, he was a pure rookie, and did not have any battle merits. Who would challenge him?
So that was the case.
Ling Han nodded. He turned off the defending champion mode, and entered into challenge mode.
He began to look for a suitable opponent.
“Welcoming Cauldron Forging Tier.”
“Looking for fellow cultivators of Core Formation Tier to spar with.”
“Are there any friends at the peak stage of True Self Tier? Waiting.”
On the virtual screen, there were multiple stage numbers that set the conditions for accepting challenges, such as cultivation level, fees, bets, and whatnot.
Ling Han made his choice. He chose Foundation Building Tier, and instantly, the information of the challenges from the other cultivation levels was no longer displayed.
“Welcoming a Foundation Building Tier cultivator, let’s spar.”
“Foundation Building Tier, ranked around 30 million.”
“Ranking of around 50 million may enter.”
Ling Han took a look. F***, they basically all required a ranking.
Then let’s fight the Galaxy Network Level Battles first.
Ling Han summoned the virtual screen and chose the level battle. He immediately received a notification that an opponent was being searched for. He estimated that he would have to wait for an hour.
F***,so long?
“Forget it, I’ll go and challenge first.”
Ling Han chose a tournament stage that didn’t require levels. He stretched out a finger and pressed down on the virtual screen. Instantly, his figure turned into bits of light and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in a massive tournament ground.
On the other side, there was a tall, broad-shouldered young man. He looked quite handsome. However, the appearance that he showed here could all be disguised. Ling Han, for example, had completely become a different person.
Otherwise, merely using a code name would definitely not be enough to completely conceal his identity.
“Haha, Number One in the Galaxy?” That person was stunned. He had also discovered the code name that Ling Han had come up with. This was really daring, and looking at Ling Han’s past battle merits.
— Galaxy Network Rankings: Zero, ranked 1,286,753,433.
—Battle experience, zero.
Number of victories: zero wins and zero losses, zero draws.
‘Oh, so he’s a pure rookie. This is his first battle in the tournament.’
“Haha, what shameless boasting. A rookie actually dares to come up with such an exaggerated name.” That person laughed loudly, and charged towards Ling Han. “Today, let me teach you a lesson, and let you know the cruelty of the world.”
Ling Han moved. He had never battled in Galaxy Network Tournament before, so he needed to familiarize himself with it first.
At present, he was purely a soul, but he felt that his battle prowess had been completely replicated. Whatever celestial technique or whatever other technique, he could use it as normal, and there was no problem at all.
The power of a Great Emperor was truly kickass.
“Brat, aren’t you Number One in the Galaxy? What is it? Do you only know how to dodge?” That person laughed loudly, closing in on him with every move.
Ling Han felt that he was more or less familiarized now, so he raised a fist, which directly penetrated the other’s defense. With a peng, the other was instantly sent flying.
Pa, that person fell onto the ground, and his figure instantly turned into bits of light that disappeared.
This was the Galaxy Network’s judgement that he had already been “killed” by Ling Han, and had lost the right to continue fighting.
Xiu, Ling Han also retreated out of the battle area, and entered into the room from before — perhaps it had been changed, and the arrangements here were all the same. Who knew if he had entered into the same room.
He looked at his battle merits, which had become one win, zero loss and zero draw. However, Galaxy Network’s ranking was still a pitiful zero.
He hadn’t participated in the ranking battles yet, so he naturally wouldn’t have Galaxy Network’s rankings.
Again.
He searched again. As long as there was no requirement for rankings, he would enter and begin the battle.
In the Foundation Building Tier, he was already rarely matched. Once he familiarized himself with his current battle style, he instantly displayed an invincible battle prowess.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
He crushed everything in his path, and no one could withstand a single punch from him. In a short ten minutes, he had already defeated thirteen opponents.
This time, he had also gained some fame in the tournament forum.
—A mysterious elite had shockingly appeared, and had won all eleven battles.
Someone posted a thread, which instantly caused a great many people to discuss spiritedly..
