Place Elimination System
“Yes.”
Zhang Yi glanced at the snow-white figure, his Adam’s apple rolling. He then turned and looked at the three thousand supreme geniuses, all at least ninth-rank Primordial Gods of All Things… Each of them, in their own galaxy, was a peak among the countless beings.
Unfortunately, the Celestial Emperor Sect had more geniuses than dogs.
“This round of practical assessments is over. Everyone’s achievements will be recorded. The old rules remain: a 1% elimination system. The thirty names I call, please step forward.” Zhang Yi’s voice was dignified and cold.
The three thousand geniuses lowered their heads, their faces twitching, many pale, some even trembling.
Seeing no response, Zhang Yi immediately pulled out the list and began to rapidly call out names.
“Eighth Battalion, Team Three, Du Wen!”
“Seventh Battalion, Team One, Gongsun Chi!”
As soon as he called out two names, two young geniuses suddenly knelt.
One of them turned pale and cried bitterly, “My lord! I have followed you from the beginning! I performed well in the previous few times and have made many achievements, but something went wrong this time. Please give me another chance!” “
Me too, my lord. I almost died in the last battle. It was because I was seriously injured that I haven’t recovered yet that I got into trouble this time…”
“Shut up!”
Zhang Yi shouted coldly, “Rules are rules. The last-place elimination system is recognized by everyone. Why should others abide by it but you don’t? An army cannot exist without rules!”
The young genius burst into tears and said in a trembling voice, “But… I don’t have to die for being eliminated last, right? I have served my lord loyally and dare not make even a single mistake! Even if I am eliminated, just let me go. I have already handed over the Xumi Ring and the Emperor’s Order to my lord. Can’t you leave me a way to live?”
“Are you done?” Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow at him. “Your name is Du Wen, and you’re from the Cangwen Galaxy, an eighth-level galaxy, right? You’re the son of the leader of the Dutian Sword Sect? Very well, you’ve successfully implicated an entire sect. Starting tomorrow, your Dutian Sword Sect will cease to exist.”
Du Wen was struck by lightning!
Gongsun Chi, who was about to speak, paled upon hearing this. He, too, wanted to beg for mercy. Du Wen’s words were exactly what he wanted to say, but at that moment, he desperately covered his mouth, fearing that a single sound would bring ruin to an entire clan.
He stared with utter horror at the graceful figure before him. She was aloof and aloof, like an otherworldly immortal, untouched by the mundane world. But everyone knew that although Zhang Yi was also a third-level Star Ancestor, Yuanshi Zhoushen, he was merely a messenger. The true decision-makers lay with the young Empress Li Yunxiao!
“This is the first lesson the Tiandi Sect is teaching you!”
Zhang Yi cast a cold glance at the three thousand super geniuses before him and continued reading off their names.
With each name read, a supreme genius lost all strength and collapsed, his face pale and hopeless.
No one stood up to resist. Those who
had resisted before were already dead.
Not only were they killed, but their backgrounds, the forces behind them, and their families were all recorded by Zhang Yi. While Du Wen’s was the first such case, the fate of the remaining rebels was enough to silence those who remained.
Quickly!
The list of thirty names was read out.
“You are unkind and uncaring! You bully the weak! You are a tyrant! Li Yunxiao, you rely on your talent and background to pursue a path that defies heaven and seek popularity. You will never get far!”
Du Wen let out a heartbreaking roar, summoning his Dao treasure and charging towards Li Yunxiao.
But in his path, an even more ruthless young ghost in purple suddenly appeared. He suddenly transformed into an eight-armed, purple-blooded demon, resembling Zi Zhen’s Eight Killing Arms. In an instant, he crushed Du Wen to pieces and devoured him alive!
Afterward, the purple-robed youth transformed into a humanoid form, appearing somewhat bewildered and harmless.
“Fan Ling…”
The three thousand super-genius monsters dared not breathe a single breath.
There was always a genius above a genius.
Their talents weren’t enough to kill Fan Ling. It
wasn’t that they didn’t want to resist. It
was just that if they did, whoever led the charge would be killed instantly, and if the others didn’t follow up, they would die even faster.
This wasn’t the first time this had happened.
And even more terrifying—
Zhang Yi remembered every single one of their details.
The phrase Zhang Yi said most often was, “Don’t think you represent yourselves. You and your relatives, ancestors, clan, and sect are all bound to you. I have a good memory, and I know where each of you came from. In this Dengtianmen assessment, whoever has a different intention, whoever dares not to put in their best effort, will be punished not only on you, but also on your family! Think about those who have placed high hopes on you. Do they deserve to die because of your stupidity? Are you worthy of them?”
And now, after Zhang Yi executed the thirty people, he continued,
“Don’t question us! My lady’s only hope is to keep you at your strongest fighting strength. I will forge you into the most powerful army of geniuses, not just now, but for countless years to come. When I become the Young Emperor, you can follow me and fight for the rest of your lives! This will not only benefit you, but your family as well!”
“From now on, the top fifty on the Merit List will be rewarded with Star Ancestor Avenues below level three!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the previously silent team finally came to life. Many people looked at Li Yunxiao with hope rising in their eyes.
After all, this was the first time she had awarded Star Ancestor Avenues!
