Chapter 1098 - 710: Jiang Yuan Attacks with the Fire-tipped Spear
The Royal Guard Uniform selection tournament is being held in a structure similar to a stadium.
The building is quite large, with numerous stands above that could accommodate more than a hundred thousand of the Undead Clan.
Yet among these people, not many actually participate in the competition, while there are indeed a lot of spectators.
Two days ago, when Jiang Yuan signed up, there were over a thousand participants in this Royal Guard Team selection.
It's hard to say how many there actually are?
"Let's go, let's go in."
Using the terminal information he snatched, he entered the arena, where there were quite a few people.
The two followed the staff's arrangements and came to a lounge.
The lounge was similar to a large lecture hall, with a large screen at the front playing the battle scenes in the arena.
But it's currently black, as there are no fights happening yet.
Besides the large screen at the front, there is a small screen in front of each seat.
The small screen allows you to observe other people's battle footage at any time.
After the staff gave a brief introduction, Jiang Yuan and Bixiao found a seat and sat down.
"Judging by this, the battles should be happening simultaneously."
"Of course, since the duration of this battle is only two days."
Sitting down, Jiang Yuan also spoke, "But so many people competing for those twenty spots, the competition is indeed fierce."
The reason this Royal Guard selection attracts so many people is purely due to the benefits.
Not to mention succeeding in grabbing those twenty spots.
Just the reward for making it to the top five hundred is quite impressive.
The top five hundred each receive three Red Quality Skill Cards as a reward.
The top three hundred get a self-selected Golden Quality Material Card.
The top one hundred get a self-selected Golden Quality Skill Card.
The top fifty receive three self-selected Red Quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The top twenty can choose to join the Royal Guard Team, while collecting the benefits, and they can choose a Golden Quality Card or three Red Quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The top ten can select three Golden Quality Cards.
The top five can select five.
The third place gets to select five Golden Quality Cards and three Red Quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The second place selects five Golden Quality Cards and five Red Quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The first place selects ten Golden Quality Cards and one Golden Quality Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.
Not to mention whether to join the Royal Guard Team or not, the rewards are so enticing that even Jiang Yuan can't help but be tempted.
Let alone others.
That's why so many from the Undead Clan choose to participate.
However, there are requirements for registration, which is why the number isn't higher.
The registration requirement is at least the Mid Stage of Quail Tail.
Both Jiang Yuan and Bixiao meet the registration standards.
After all, Jiang Yuan is already at the Late Stage of Quail Tail.
On the verge of breaking through to the Tenth Realm Longevity Star!
Of course, once he breaks through, he can't participate in this Royal Guard Team selection tournament.
And once he breaks through, he either directly challenges a current Royal Guard member and replaces them,
or waits for the second batch of Royal Guard Team selections to begin, which is for the Tenth Realm Longevity Star Realm guards.
Seeing these rewards, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
The Undead Royal Family is truly wealthy!
Even without complete control of power, being a royal family means they still have no lack of resources and money.
Jiang Yuan was even thinking if he could control Gudusidan and help him successfully ascend to the throne, wouldn't he have an enormous reserve of hidden resources?
After all, this is the wealth of an entire world.
The Undead Clan is different from the Human Clan.
The Undead Clan is more like a feudal society, and the Undead Royal Family is akin to the Emperors.
Those Emperors who wield some real power, but not entirely.
But even such Emperors had little treasuries filled to the brim.
Let alone the fact that the rewards for selecting the Royal Guard Team can be drawn from the national treasury.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan began to ponder.
Is there any ability to control others?
And it must be an ability that cannot be detected.
Something akin to hypnosis that alters common sense.
He only needs to be aware there's someone behind him and that he must unconditionally obey this person's demands.
In other situations, he can still live by his own thoughts.
While Jiang Yuan was pondering, participants began entering the arena one after another.
The competition officially begins at nine a.m.
Jiang Yuan and Bixiao came in right on time.
So no need to wait, everyone had arrived.
The large screen in front of everyone suddenly lit up.
An elder from the Undead Clan appeared on it.
The elder began to explain the rules for this competition.
"There are a total of four thousand participants in this competition, with a thousand people in each hall."
"And among these thousand, only one hundred and twenty-five can proceed to the main rounds."
"You need to fight your way into the top one hundred and twenty-five in the group stages to advance to the next round."
"The next round has five hundred participants, still a one-on-one battle, from which twenty will be selected to qualify for the Royal Guard Team."
"Now, the battle begins!"
After the elder on the screen finished speaking, the area behind Jiang Yuan and the others opened up.
Behind were twenty virtual combat arenas.
"Each time twenty groups of participants will compete, as one group finishes, another immediately takes their place, until the first round is over."
After the elder's voice resounded again, the screen showed each person's name and their opponent.
"What's my name again?"
Seeing this scene, Bixiao panicked a bit, having not paid attention when Jiang Yuan told her yesterday.
Now she couldn't recall her name at all.
"You're called Saoya."
Jiang Yuan was a bit speechless, but he still spoke up.
Bixiao's terminal information name is Saoya, which happened to be the name of an Undead Clan girl they found who was planning suicide.
And from this, Jiang Yuan also found another Undead Clan male planning suicide.
After giving him a hand, he took his identity information.
Jiang Yuan's name is Celt, one of the first twenty participants.
Bixiao's name appeared a bit later in the list.
"You stay here, don't wander around, I'll be right back."
"Alright, don't worry."
Bixiao patted her chest in assurance, though Jiang Yuan wasn't entirely confident.
"Don't wander around!"
"If you wander off, I'll tell your eldest sister when we're back!"
"You're always telling on me!"
Bixiao grumbled, but admittedly, Jiang Yuan's tactic worked.
After Jiang Yuan left, Bixiao obediently stayed seated without moving.
When Jiang Yuan arrived in the arena, he faced his opponent.
A young man from the Undead Bone Clan.
Jiang Yuan was familiar with the Undead Bone Clan.
After all, Shi Ji's initial Undead Enslavement included a member from the Undead Bone Clan.
The two met without exchanging words, a glance sufficed before they entered the virtual combat arena.
Within the virtual combat arena, they both chose to start the battle.
A three-second countdown appeared in the arena.
After the three-second countdown, Jiang Yuan immediately launched his attack.
Two cards appeared simultaneously in his hand.
One was the [Fire-tipped Spear], the other was [Fake Shape].
[Fake Shape] activated, the Fire-tipped Spear changed its appearance, and at the same time, Jiang Yuan activated Nezha's skill [Dawn], charging at the opponent with incredible speed.
The young man from the Undead Bone Clan also wielded his weapon to attack.
His weapon was a bone spear, which seemed to carry some inherent ability, with a crimson glow emanating from its tip.
Yet Jiang Yuan remained unfazed, as due to [Weapon Mastery], the Fire-tipped Spear in his hand felt as natural to wield as his own arm.
It felt completely different from when he used to secretly practice with Nezha's Fire-tipped Spear.
