Chapter 261 The Preliminaries Are Over
After seeing everyone was quiet, Shen Ming turned to look at Honglian.
After Honglian agreed, Shen Ming said to everyone in the venue.
"Everyone, there will be a pre-selection before the Prodigy Battle officially begins."
"All the geniuses participating in the genius battle are invited to enter the competition stage in the center of the venue."
After Shen Ming said these words, all the geniuses who were still in the stands came to the competition stage in the center of the venue.
The same goes for Jiang Huang and Xia Lingxi.
Although they are the geniuses of Wanbao Pavilion, they don't know that there are pre-selections for the genius battle, and they are also confused about this matter.
After everyone came to the center to compete on the stage, Shen Ming spoke.
"You have already stood on the pre-selection stage. In a moment, a formation will appear on this stage and pull you into an illusion."
"This formation will create an illusion suitable for you based on your own strength and practice skills."
"You only need to persist in this illusion for half an hour. After half an hour, you will automatically enter the main competition. Those who do not persist for half an hour will automatically be eliminated."
"If there are no more than 100 people left in the end, then based on the time of elimination, the total number of people from the last person eliminated plus those who passed will be 100."
Everyone at the venue was a little surprised when they heard the rules explained by Shen Ming.
Shen Ming finally said that if less than a hundred people enter the main competition, it means that the illusion this time is very strong. Even Shen Ming thinks that it will be difficult for the geniuses selected by the major forces to pass this illusion.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look towards the competition platform, wanting to see what was so special about this formation.
Several of the people present were star-level formation mages, and they became very interested in this.
After saying that, Shen Ming waved his hand, and streaks of golden light emerged from the test platform.
"You'd better not stand." Shen Ming added after the golden light lit up.
This sentence is advice to these geniuses. They all have their own arrogance, and they want to express themselves more when facing such selection.
But Shen Ming's advice was really for their sake. This formation was specially designed by Lu Jianxing and specially prepared for this battle of geniuses.
Very difficult.
If these geniuses choose to stand because of a moment of arrogance, they may be the ones who are embarrassed in a moment.
After hearing Shen Ming's words, Jiang Huang and Xia Lingxi sat down cross-legged without hesitation.
Starry Sky Academy's most powerful prodigy also sat down after seeing the two of them sit down.
Since it was Shen Ming's special advice, and Jiang Huang and Xia Lingxi acted without hesitation, Qi Nian thought it would be better to follow them.
After seeing this, some geniuses also sat down cross-legged.
There is nothing shameful about this, as long as you can pass this assessment, you can get better rewards by entering the main competition.
But some people just didn't listen to the advice and still didn't sit down. They thought they were cool and stood there, waiting for the formation to start.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ming didn't say anything. He pressed the palm of his right hand lightly and a formation directly enveloped the genius on the competition stage.
All the geniuses closed their eyes at the moment when the formation was enveloped, and fell into an illusion.
At this moment, the entire venue became quiet.
All the powerful players in the spectator seats are waiting. They don't know how strong this illusion is. They can only hope that their genius can persist until half an hour later and enter the main match.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
None of the geniuses in the formation showed signs of discomfort.
Seeing this situation, everyone felt relieved. This formation was not as strong as Shen Ming said.
As time passed by, at the fifteenth minute, a genius collapsed on the ground without any warning.
He opened his eyes, breathing heavily, with a look of fear on his face.
The strong men in the venue were a little surprised by this sudden scene. There was nothing abnormal about this person before he was eliminated. He was eliminated very suddenly.
They don't know what the first eliminated person went through to be eliminated in an instant.
Not long after this person was eliminated, the second eliminated person also appeared, and then the third one, one after another.
The speed was so fast that no one could believe it.
This time, more than 500 geniuses from various forces came to participate in the battle of geniuses.
But just after the fifteenth minute, nearly a hundred people were eliminated in just a few minutes.
This speed of elimination shocked all the strong men.
It was like this after fifteen minutes. What about the time after that, what about half an hour?
They now believe what Shen Ming said before. Perhaps not a hundred talented people can persist until the main competition.
The time quickly reached thirty minutes.
The final result confirmed everyone's suspicions.
Thirty minutes after the formation was removed, only eighty-four people were still in a state of trance, and the others had been eliminated.
This data was so terrifying that it made some powerful people suspect that Wanbao Pavilion had tampered with this formation.
Many talents who were valued before the competition were eliminated.
Shen Ming did not respond to their questions. This situation had been anticipated before the start of the Tianjiao War.
Some so-called seed players, in Shen Ming's opinion, are just like that. They only appear strong on the surface, and their real combat power can only be ranked in the middle of these talented players.
Those strong men who did not speak out naturally understood this.
Most of their talented players have passed the assessment, and most of them are not the seeded players evaluated before the game.
This is what they did on purpose. Only by hiding some strength can they get a better ranking on such a stage.
The unexpected effect is still very good.
Seeing that the results had come out, Shen Ming also said.
"Those who are eliminated can return to the spectator seats to continue watching the game. The final sixteen people will be determined based on the persistence time. These sixteen people will all receive a Star Pill."
After hearing the announcement of the final result, the faces of those who had been eliminated still showed disappointment.
Recalling the experience in the illusion, their bodies couldn't stop trembling. The experience was so real that they couldn't even recover now.
But they were very grateful to Wanbao Pavilion for giving them this opportunity. This encounter in the fantasy realm made them understand their own shortcomings.
After the end of this Tianjiao war, he only needs to retreat for a period of time, and his strength will definitely be greatly improved.
After the eliminated people returned to the audience, Shen Ming spoke.
"Now I'll give you half an hour to rest. After half an hour, the main game will officially begin."
"Now you can look at the big screen in the sky, which will randomly match you with opponents. You can figure out how to deal with the first-round opponents in this half hour."
Having said that, a projection appeared in the center of the venue, with the eighty-four people entering the main competition on it, being automatically allocated by the system.
