Open up and break into another world

“And you… perhaps you have a chance to obtain the ‘World-Breaking Spear’!”

As soon as the gray-clothed figure finished speaking, the entire place erupted in shock and amazement.

“We have a chance to obtain it?” Countless geniuses' eyes turned incomparably fervent.

One should know that even a blind man could see how extraordinary the World-Breaking Spear was!

Such a treasure, even ordinary Sovereigns probably wouldn't be qualified to covet it; and now, they actually had a chance to obtain it! — Of course, it was definitely just an extremely slim chance!

But it was still a chance! It was enough to drive people crazy!

“The World-Breaking Spear, even the top existences among Sovereigns, are trying to obtain it! If I can obtain it, then besides obtaining the treasure, I will definitely obtain its legacy, right? That… would really be equivalent to soaring to the heavens in a single bound!”

“If I can control this treasure, then my status in the entire universe would probably be extremely high!”

“What is opportunity? This is opportunity! A great opportunity that one wouldn't encounter even after a lifetime of cultivation!”

“With such an opportunity, I must do my best! Although it's almost impossible for me to obtain it, but… what if I do?”

“I'll fight! If I don't fight, I can only remain mediocre forever, until the day I perish; but if I fight once, perhaps, I can soar to the sky!”

“If there is a chance to be extraordinary, who would willingly be ordinary? — Fight!”

Every gaze was fixed on the gray-clothed figure with burning intensity.

For these geniuses who possessed endless lifespans, they had truly long since become indifferent to life and death!

After all, in their long lives, they had already lived any life they wanted to live a thousand times over.

Every genius who came to the Eternal Battlefield was tired of mediocrity!

In order to become stronger, they were even willing to exchange their lives!

With such an opportunity before them, which genius wouldn't want to seize it?

“Haha!” The gray-clothed figure laughed.

The situation before him was exactly as he had expected.

“However…” At this moment, the gray-clothed figure began to ponder.

Every genius immediately became tense — it was clear that the gray-clothed figure was about to announce how one could qualify to obtain the World-Breaking Spear!

“That's right! Too many people!” The gray-clothed figure continued, “My test only requires ten thousand geniuses; but you now exceed that number by more than a hundred times! Hmm… we must screen you!”

Screen!

Instantly, all the geniuses became nervous again — only by being selected and becoming one of the ten thousand geniuses would they have a chance to obtain the World-Breaking Spear!

And those who were eliminated in the screening would no longer possess even “hope”!

“I must be selected!”

One genius after another was filled with fighting spirit and soaring battle intent.

At this moment, the gray-clothed figure said again: “The rules of the screening are very fair — I will send you into an independent battle space, where you will choose the number of opponents yourself!

Each opponent will have the strength of an ordinary ‘high-grade Domain Lord’; each person will only have one chance to challenge!

The ten thousand geniuses who successfully challenge and have the highest number of challenges will be qualified to advance to the assessment; and if you fail the challenge, or are not ranked in the top ten thousand, then… Jie Jie Jie Jie…”

The gray-clothed figure's laughter suddenly became sinister.

Needless to say, the fate of those geniuses who did not advance to the assessment would definitely be very miserable.

“Oh?” Xu Ming couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly after hearing this, “These challenge rules are really ruthless enough!”

Because everyone enters an independent challenge space, no one can know the “number of challenges” of other geniuses.

Moreover, since there is only one chance, every genius must do their best and use all their trump cards when challenging — after all, the strength of most geniuses is not that different!

If you don't do your best, you can only be eliminated!

And the consequences of being eliminated are very miserable!

Of course — Xu Ming doesn't need to do his best!

He just needs to play around casually!

At this time, some geniuses couldn't help but consider the gains and losses — this was a “one in a hundred” chance, and it was only to compete for a chance to be assessed!

Is it really worth risking one's life for a chance to be assessed?

A genius couldn't help but ask: “Is it possible not to participate in the screening?”

“Yes!” The gray-clothed figure said with a sinister smile.

“Phew…” Immediately, many geniuses breathed a sigh of relief and began to consider whether or not to participate.

However, immediately after, the gray-clothed figure said again: “As long as you die, you don't have to participate in the screening!”

Die, and you don't have to participate in the screening? — Every genius understood that this was forcing them!

Either participate in the screening, or die!

Moreover, the current situation was clearly one of “we are the fish on the chopping board, at their mercy”; anyone could see that with the methods of the gray-clothed figure, he could easily annihilate any genius present.

There was no way, all the geniuses dared not take any chances, but seriously considered their own strength.

A one-horned genius from the Eighth Quadrant frowned and pondered: “My strength has already reached the ‘peak of Half-Step World Lord’, extremely close to World Lord; if measured by the Heavenly Ranking, I should be able to rank in the top three!

And the strength of an ordinary high-grade Domain Lord is equivalent to an ordinary Earth Ranking genius…”

The gap in strength between the Heavenly Ranking and the Earth Ranking is still very obvious!

This one-horned genius continued to think: “With my strength, challenging dozens should not be a problem!

But… if others use all their trump cards, they might be able to challenge even more than me!”

The one-horned genius gritted his teeth: “I'll fight! When the time comes, I'll challenge one hundred and fifty! If I use all my trump cards, I should be able to successfully challenge!”

Other geniuses were also pondering how many they should challenge when the time comes.

Those who can venture into the main continent of the Eternal Battlefield are generally not too weak; so generally speaking, they can challenge more than one hundred.

Even those with strong strength, between the “Heavenly Ranking First” and the “Primordial Myriad Things Ranking”, plan to directly challenge three hundred or even five hundred!

However, no genius would reveal the number they planned to challenge to others.

After all, in the current situation, everyone is an opponent!

“Heh!” Xu Ming looked at the surrounding geniuses, all looking at others with shifty eyes, obviously estimating the number of challenges of others, and couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, one genius after another was calculating whether they had a chance to win the “screening battle”.

Xu Ming sneered disdainfully, and thought to himself: “Isn't it just the number of challenges? What's there to hide? I won't hide it!”

Thinking of this, Xu Ming directly looked at the gray-clothed figure and said loudly: “Let me go first! I want to fight… ten million!!”
