Of course, even though Li Tianxing was practically going mad from anger, Hong Dali was sleeping quite comfortably.
With his character, things like popularity and such wasn’t a concern for him. What Hong Dali was thinking of now was to go into the sea again when they entered the competition venue to take a good look at that Gemstone Dragon, to see what it really was…
Therefore, very quickly, at 10 AM the next day the competition started again!
Inside the virtual world, all of the first 1,000 contestants were already waiting in their resting rooms for the system to teleport them.
“The competition is about to start, all contestants please get ready.” The system’s voice sounded: “Teleportation will begin in one minutes’ time. Countdown start: 60… 59… 58… 10… 9… 8… 3… 2… 1… 0! Teleportation start!”
Swoosh!
All of the contestants felt their vision go blur. When their vision became clear again, they were already inside their respective mechas. Also, there wasn’t any change in the location of their mechas.
The system voice continued: “Teleportation complete. Everyone, please get ready, the competition will start in one minutes’ time. There are 1,000 contestants left, 200 teams. The competition venue will be compressed to an area with a radius of 5,000 kilometers from the island on the planet. For this time’s competition, only 100 contestants, which is 20 teams, will be able to proceed to the next stage.”
“The competition is about to begin, all the count number of mechas destroyed for each mecha will be reset to zero. Countdown start: 10, 9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1, 0!”
The competition to fight for the first 100 positions had started!
On the arena.
“Damn you, Hong Dali!” Every time he thought of how Hong Dali attracted all the attention and glory away from him, Li Tianxing would feel very perplexed. He wanted to fight Hong Dali and kick him out of the competition, but Hong Dali hid too well. Even after so long, Li Tianxing still couldn’t find where Hong Dali was hiding!
But whatever the case, the competition for the first 100 positions wasn’t a joke. The contestants left now were all talented and powerful, so he couldn’t afford to be careless. Although Li Tianxing was confident of himself, he couldn’t mess around too much. If not, he might really lose.
Carefully searching for the enemies nearby, Li Tianxing very quickly found a target.
“Just nice. I am feeling unhappy right now, I shall vent my anger on you first!” Li Tianxing piloted the Spirit Emperor and directly charged to where that enemy was. Very quickly, Li Tianxing came to where the enemy was.
That was a pitch-black mecha and it looked very strong. The mecha held a Death Scythe in its hands and even donned a black cape. The most crucial thing was that there were remains of five mechas laying around this mecha.
“Yup, looked like this person is quite powerful.” Li Tianxing slowly walked over. “What a pity, no matter how powerful he is, he isn’t a match for me, hahahaha!”
Li Tianxing!
Seeing the Spirit Emperor, the pilot of the Death Scythe mecha instantly felt his heart go cold. Although he was indeed quite strong, he didn’t have any confidence facing the strongest mecha in this competition, the Spirit Emperor.
He turned around his mecha, looked at Li Tianxing, and said, “Li Tianxing, I didn’t expect that I would meet you here!”
“Hehe, it’s me.” Li Tianxing looked at him, thought for a while, and suddenly said, “Why don’t we make a deal?”
What’s there to discuss at a time like this?
That pilot laughed and said, “I admit that you are very powerful and I am not a match for you, but if you want to humiliate me, I advise you to drop this notion.”
This pilot was indeed powerless against such a strong opponent. On the surface, he admitted that he wasn’t a match for Li Tianxing, but he was already planning of escaping inside. “This is already the fight for the first 100 positions. Although my mecha is not as good as his, I should still be able to withstand for some time. Even if I just last for a short moment longer, that would mean advancing a few more positions. If I can escape…”
Instantly, various notions flashed through his mind. He stepped half a step back and asked in a deep voice, “What is it, what are you waiting for?”
“Fight? No, no, no.” Li Tianxing suddenly smiled and said, “I did plan to end you right now, but I just changed my mind. That’s why I want to make a deal with you. Oh right, what’s your name?”
“Dino.” Seeing that Li Tianxing was indeed not going to fight him, the teenager called Dino slightly squinted his eyes and said, “Tell me what the deal is first. At for whether I accept it or not, that will need to wait till I hear it.” Li Tianxing’s mecha was indeed quite outstanding, the teenager wasn’t confident that he could escape even if he wanted to.
“Very simple. You know of that Team Dali that’s in the last place, right?” Li Tianxing gave a cruel smile and said, “Find where he is. As long as you can find him, I will allow your team to follow behind mine. This way, you guys can at least make it to the top 100. How about it?”
Now, in order to find Hong Dali, Li Tianxing was going all out.
He really couldn’t tolerate Hong Dali snatching away glory that should have been his. Therefore, he could only think of such a plan.
“Find where Team Dali is?” Dino’s eyes rolled, then he smiled and said, “Okay! Since that’s the case, I shall go find them now. You are a Galaxy Aristocrat, I believe in your credibility.”
“Of course.” Seeing that this person was convinced by him, Li Tianxing was quite pleased with himself.
You are good at hiding, is it? There is only this much space in the competition venue now. I shall ask everyone to help look for you, I don’t believe that you can hide forever!
After laughing to himself for a while, he started making arrangements for the other team members.
“This time, don’t kill everyone you see. Ask them first if they are willing to help look for Hong Dali.” Li Tianxing instructed. “This time, I must find Hong Dali no matter what!”
The other members had already known of the grudge between Li Tianxing and Hong Dali. They instantly replied, “Okay, understood.”
…
The underwater world.
Hong Dali and his team looked at the gigantic Gemstone Dragon in front of them, none of them knowing what to do.
“Yup, what should we do with this huge fellow?” Hong Dali touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, “Why don’t we shoot him to wake him up?” This Gemstone Dragon was too large and this was in the water, waking him up through shouting was definitely not an option. Therefore, to wake this dragon up, they could only beat him up.
“Dali, if we wake him, will he eat us up?” Tang Muxin was undecided. After all, the result of waking up such a huge fellow was hard to predict.
“That’s what I am afraid of too.” Hong Dali could control animals, but this fellow was obviously not an animal made from flesh and blood, meaning that Hong Dali wouldn’t be able to control him. But since they had already found it, they should do something about it. If not, wouldn’t it all be in vain?
Momentarily, everyone was at a loss of what to do.
“Dali.” Then, Jiang Qianxue softly advised. “Since this is a Gemstone Dragon, there’s definitely something that it likes here. Think about it, he was about to grow so big, so he definitely had to eat something, right? Also, doesn’t dragons like shiny stuff?”
Jiang Qianxue’s words reminded Hong Dali. He hurriedly flipped through his space watch and became completely depressed.
His space watch was quite empty inside, except for that stone which he accidentally bought and didn’t know what it was. The only thing other than that was the little bird Acka that Green Phoenix gave him.
“This prodigal bird!” Hong Dali was really depressed. “It ate up all of the things inside!”
“Dali.” Tang Muxin curiously asked, “What are you mumbling about?”
“Nothing much.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “Just that Acka ate up the stuff in my space watch… Now, I don’t even have anything to give to this Gemstone Dragon!”
It was no wonder that he was depressed. This was the virtual world, after all, the items here were separated from the real world…
Meaning to say that even though there was a lot of good stuff inside his space watch in the real world, he didn’t have many items here in the virtual world. And now, even those few items were eaten up by Acka…
Speaking of which, even if it was hungry, it shouldn’t eat everything it sees, right?
Yet, just as Hong Dali was being depressed, Acka actually flew out from the space watch by itself!
“Chirp chirp!” Once Acka came out, it directly landed on Hong Dali’s head and then sat there…
This damned prodigal bird!
Hong Dali got really angry. Then, he decisively moved away all of the seawater nearby, grabbed Acka and directly threw it out!
Country bumpkin, eat more! The entire seabed is full of gemstones, you can eat all you want now!
Stuff yourself to death you rascal!
“Chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp—” Hong Dali was quite angry, but Acka was really very happy—it was indeed starving. Hong Dali didn’t come online for an entire month, so Acka had to ration the stuff inside the space watch carefully.
Actually, it couldn’t be blamed. There weren’t many things inside the space watch in the first place.
Now, seeing the mountain of gemstones, Acka’s eyes instantly lit-up and pounced onto the gemstones. This little fellow aimed for the purple gemstone mountain first and directly bit into it!
“Crack crack.” It munched ferociously on the mountain of gemstones, causing everyone to stare in bewilderment.
“Dali, this, what thing is it?” Jiang Qianxue looked at ugly little Acka and said in surprise, “It can actually eat attribute gemstones!?”
Honestly speaking, there were all kinds of miraculous beings inside the virtual world, but this was the first time she saw something eat gemstones like what Acka was doing!
