Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Genius Tournament Begins
"Hello, dear audience, welcome to today’s Azure Wood Star Realm Talent Battle, I’m your host, Zhao Wenmo."
On the luxurious stage, the handsome host, dressed in a suit, smiled gently.
"I’m your host, Jin Xiaojia."
Another sweet-looking female host said with a smile.
On the largest streaming platform in the Azure Wood Star Realm, the screen was flooded with bullet comments like a tsunami.
"It’s starting, it’s starting! I’ve been waiting forever."
"That brother is so handsome, worthy of being a host famous for his looks."
"Wow, this stage is so white, and the microphone is so long."
The long-awaited Azure Wood Star Realm Talent Battle finally officially kicked off today.
The two hosts, both with outstanding looks, quickly brought the atmosphere of the scene to life, and then, video introductions of star contestants began playing on the big screen behind them.
"My name is Fu Ning, I come from Taichu Star, and I am a Tier Five Six star Spiritualist..."
A handsome young man appeared on the big screen, the silver light illuminating the sharp contours of his profile, as his Profound Iron Heavy Sword carried with it the sound of dragons tearing through the air.
At the moment the blade touched the river’s surface, the entire river seemed to be ripped apart by an invisible giant hand, as deep blue water light exploded into countless ice crystals, revealing the jagged blue stones at the riverbed, the backflowing waves condensing in mid-air into a silver curtain, reflecting the golden Sword Qi erupting around the young man, as if chaos at the beginning of heaven and earth was being split anew.
"Fu Ning!"
"Fu Ning!"
People from Taichu Star began spamming the screen for their genius, and Fu Ning’s handsomeness and elegance immediately captured the hearts of many young girls.
In the ratings by professional agencies, Fu Ning was the first to be rated as a Five Star Genius and was not just a Tier Five Six star Spiritualist, but also the new generation successor of the Golden Level family, the Fu Family, of the Celestial Profound Sword Body.
Then, the second star contestant’s video appeared.
It was a tall and burly man with shoulders broad as mountains, not particularly handsome but exuding rugged masculinity. In the video, he introduced himself with a deep voice.
"Hello everyone, I’m Yue Shenghe, from Houtu Star, a Tier Five Five star Spiritualist,..."
Facing a hill tens of meters high, the earth-yellow dragon patterns wrapped around Yue Shenghe’s right arm suddenly awoke with the flow of Spiritual Energy. As his right fist filled with dark golden light, the ground under his feet groaned under the weight, and he punched towards the hill.
In an instant, the wind of the punch, accompanied by the sound of rocks shattering, ripped through the air, as sand and dust for kilometers around frantically gathered like living entities, exploding into a thunderous roar louder than a storm when fist met hill.
The surface rocks and soil of the hill boiled like magma, the dark golden Fist Seal deeply embedding itself into the mountain with visible speed, spiderweb-like cracks spread along the Fist Seal, as if an ancient seal was being split open by a giant ax. The next second, the entire hill exploded, countless rocks wrapped in earth-yellow air waves shot skyward.
"Yue Shenghe!"
"Yue Shenghe!"
The new contestant overwhelmed the screen, with the audience from Houtu Star waving flags and cheering for their genius.
Yue Shenghe, inheritor of the Golden Level bloodline, known as the Panlong Battle Body.
Soon after, the third star contestant took the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am Wu Ziyan, from Mars, a Tier Five Five star Spirit Mage."
The scarlet fire-lotus gown embroidered with golden edges whirled around the girl as she spun, the embroidered red lotus patterns on the hem bursting into dazzling light.
She lightly tapped the ruby at the tip of her magic staff with her fingertip, and in an instant, the sky was torn open by a blood-red breach, and the clear sky turned into a burning furnace.
Rolling red clouds like boiling magma poured down with sharp explosions, countless fireballs dragged blazing tails across the sky, twisting the air into a red vortex wherever they passed.
The girl looked up and smiled in the center of the firestorm, the gilded hairpin in her hair flickering sparks, making the cinnabar at the corner of her eyes even more gorgeous, as if an elf born from the lava, painting a picture of destruction and splendor with flames as her brush in the space between heaven and earth.
"Wu Ziyan!"
"Wu Ziyan!!!"
Fans of the pretty girl were exceptionally numerous, with bullet comments like a tsunami rivaling the opening ceremony.
Wu Ziyan, inheritor of the Golden Level Xinghuo Clan.
Subsequently, videos of ten star contestants appeared on the big screen, all of whom without exception were Tier Five Four Stars and above, Golden Level bloodline Spiritualists.
When the videos finished playing, these ten most popular star contestants ascended the stage, immediately causing another wave of bullet comment frenzy.
One after another, contestants took the stage as the host announced their names, and supporters from their hometowns would immediately spam the screen with comments.
A hundred talents all ascended the stage, and then, the host finally revealed the venue for this Talent Battle’s trial.
"The trial venue this time is at——Yingmu Star, Shuiyue New City!"
Boom!
Upon the venue’s announcement, both on-site and on the bullet screen, there was a heated reaction.
"Yingmu Star! The construction of Yingmu Star is finally complete!"
"Haha, the Dongfang Clan is amazing, transforming a satellite unsuitable for human habitation into a livable environment."
"I can’t afford a house on Azure Wood Star, but I might be able to make a run for Yingmu Star."
Yingmu Star is one of the ten satellites orbiting in the space orbit of Azure Wood Star, previously serving as a temporary docking site for the Space Fleet, mainly used for near-earth observation and also for protective tasks.
But due to its harsh environment and thin atmosphere, this satellite itself was not suitable for human habitation.
In recent decades, however, the Empire has made significant advances in planetary atmosphere technology, and the Dongfang Clan, utilizing various Spirit Plants, has carried out an overall environmental transformation of Yingmu Star, finally completing this big project this year.
Evidently, the Dongfang Clan plans to use the hype from the Talent Battle to promote Yingmu Star and attract investment in the initial construction of this planet.
Yingmu Star, Shuiyue New City
The hundred talents were also surprised about the trial location; the previous trial locations were within Azure Wood Star, but now, it’s been relocated to a near-earth satellite, suggesting that a spaceship will probably come to pick them up and transport them to Yingmu Star.
As expected, the host said:
"Next, the War Eagle One, developed by the Deville Spaceship Company, will carry our talents to Yingmu Star. Look, the spaceship is already here."
At this moment, the bullet screen was immediately filled with complaints.
"Damn, I knew there would be an advertisement."
"Resist Deville Company!"
"Trash company, don’t ride their spaceship."
A shadow cast down, as a spaceship resembling a falcon broke through the clouds, slowly descending in mid-air.
Swish!
Then a beam of strong white light fell onto the stage, enveloping all the talents.
Soon after, the talents vanished from the audience’s sight.
The big screen displayed the interior view of the spaceship.
The hundred talents were directly transferred inside the spaceship.
"This is... spatial guidance technology!"
"Wow, even a small spaceship is equipped with this technology."
"I love it, I want to customize one now."
The bullet screen swiftly turned, filled with praises for the War Eagle One.
The spaceship broke through the atmosphere carrying the talents, accelerating in space, and within fifteen minutes it arrived at Shuiyue New City on Yingmu Star.
In the next hour, the talents needed to go to different locations according to the instructions, which is also to prevent the competition among contestants from happening too early.
An hour later, following a voice echoing in the city sky.
The Azure Wood Star Realm Talent Battle officially begins.
