Chapter 377: A Martial Competition That Concerns the Nation's Fate!
Three months had already passed.
Chen Ye's three main attributes had increased by nearly ten thousand each.
Now, his constitution, strength, and agility had all surpassed fifty thousand, reaching more than fifty-six thousand…
Aside from this increase in strength—
The martial competition Chen Ye was focused on finally had concrete news.
The authorities even came forward to make an official announcement.
However, what the public was told was that several countries would be joining forces to conduct a military exercise on a certain uninhabited island!
Only the reincarnators knew that this was actually a martial competition that would determine the fate of ordinary people in every country.
The outcome of the competition would be wagered on cities.
Win a match, and you could claim a city from another country!
For a time,
Reincarnators worldwide paid close attention.
Everyone was shocked by the high stakes of this competition!
Only ordinary people remained clueless, unaware of what was about to happen…
At first, the competition was scheduled for half a month later.
What most ordinary reincarnators cared about was, of course, whether they could spectate!
Such a grand event was unprecedented. To witness a battle between top reincarnators—no one wanted to miss it.
Countless reincarnators began seeking information. Some even planned to go to the island early and secure a spot once they learned the location.
In the end, the top reincarnators were forced to announce the qualifications for spectating.
Because the island wasn't very large and couldn't accommodate too many people, they set a rule: Only reincarnators with at least B-rank strength could attend as spectators!
This rule immediately triggered dissatisfaction among many ordinary reincarnators.
But everyone could understand.
The number of reincarnators had grown close to a million!
Even with many killed in recent battles against extradimensional demons, the figure was still enormous.
That uninhabited island could, at most, hold tens of thousands. Anything over a hundred thousand, and there would be no room for the competition…
Understanding was one thing, but not being able to witness such a major event still made countless reincarnators below B-rank unhappy.
Although the top figures usually didn't care about these "weaklings," they didn't want widespread resentment either. After all, sometimes these lower-level reincarnators were needed to run errands.
So after some discussion, they decided to create a livestreaming app exclusively for reincarnators, which required logging in with their unique ID.
That way, even if ordinary reincarnators couldn't be present, they could still watch the event live.
However, this made the workload much heavier.
First, they had to develop such an app immediately, set up the servers, and ensure security… Even though the reincarnators could order the world's top talent to get it done, it would still take some time.
Also, the island needed to be set up on site… All of this took time.
So,
What was originally planned to begin in half a month was forcibly delayed by another month!
In the end, it was postponed to a month and a half later.
…
An Province.
Reincarnation Bureau.
Inside the office of Team Six.
Old Zheng spoke up: "I've found out the details about this competition. There are some specific requirements. For example, S-rank powerhouses aren't allowed to participate. S-rank experts are just too terrifying. If a real fight breaks out, they might even destroy the entire planet!"
"In addition to S-rank experts being barred, each country is also limited in the number of participants—only three representatives can compete…"
Hearing this,
Everyone frowned.
"Only three spots per country? That means they'll definitely send the strongest ones," Zhou Tao said at once. "As far as I know, aside from the Director General, our country still has a dozen or so top-tier figures on the rankings, right?"
After all, with such a large population, the country naturally has more talented people.
Even when it comes to reincarnators, there are far more than in other countries, and there are more powerful ones as well.
At this point, Zhou Tao glanced at Chen Ye and continued, "If I were the Director General, I'd definitely pick the three representatives from these people. After all, this battle is already tied to the nation's fate."
Li Fang said, "So, Brother Chen, it's pretty much impossible for you to participate in the competition?"
Captain Wu tried to persuade him, "If that's the case, Old Chen, maybe you should just let it go?"
Of course, Chen Ye didn't want to miss this opportunity. If he could defeat those top reincarnators, the potential point rewards would surely be substantial.
He even started entertaining a bold idea in his mind!
If he found himself strong enough, and took out all the reincarnators present as spectators during the event, he'd strike it rich…
But that was just a passing thought.
Although he'd never seen one in person, he'd heard that those S-rank reincarnators were truly terrifying, each one capable of destroying the world.
With his current strength, he probably wasn't capable of keeping any of them here.
"If I show enough strength, would the Director General choose me?" Chen Ye asked.
Everyone was stunned at his words, not sure how to respond.
Old Zheng suddenly spoke, "I also heard another piece of news…"
Before he could finish, Li Fang complained, "Old Zheng, Uncle Zheng, can't you change this habit of yours? Why do you always leave half of what you want to say unsaid? Can't you just say it all at once?"
Captain Wu and Zhou Tao both nodded in agreement.
Old Zheng forced a wry smile. "Alright, I'll change in the future!"
"Enough nonsense," Captain Wu said. "Just say it. What other news is there?"
Old Zheng said, "I heard the Director General did pick three top-ranked experts as representatives. But the Director General is a fair person, so he put out word that before the competition, other A-rank experts can challenge those three chosen representatives. If anyone manages to win, they'll take the representative spot for the competition and even get an extra reward…"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instinctively looked at Chen Ye.
"Oh?"
Chen Ye immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a try!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
They probably hadn't expected Chen Ye to be so eager to participate.
"Old Chen, do you really have to go?" Captain Wu couldn't help asking.
Seeing Chen Ye's determined expression, he could only sigh helplessly.
Li Fang said, "Brother Chen, even if you really want to go, don't rush. Let's wait and see for now. There's still a month and a half before the competition starts!"
Hearing this, Chen Ye nodded right away.
Even though he wanted to go challenge early—since winning might attract other unwilling contenders to challenge him, letting him rack up more potential points…
But there was no need to rush.
Besides, Li Fang's advice was for his own good.
…
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, another month or so went by.
There were only a few days left before the martial competition that all reincarnators were watching.
And Chen Ye, in the past few days, set off for the capital…
