Chapter 583: Chapter 291: Points Ranking! _1
Inside the instance, Slok, a competitor from the Yongming Star System, didn’t even bother locating his prey upon entering. Instead, he immediately unleashed a bizarre insect.
The insect seemed to exist in a state between reality and illusion, and it vanished without a trace in an instant.
Hmph, what an idiot from the Solar System, daring to venture into the fourth-transition competition zone. Clearly, he doesn’t understand the meaning of death.
...
As for Chen Mo, he tried using his Eye of Origin and the Pioneers’ perception abilities. However, the outcome was the same: he could only observe everything within a hundred-meter radius around him. This proved that the rule set by the organizer was absolute; no matter what perception abilities they possessed, participants could only see a hundred meters around them.
Moreover, when Chen Mo tried using his Divine Flicker ability, the result was the same: he could only teleport a maximum distance of one hundred meters.
Chen Mo didn’t mind too much, since these constraints applied to everyone. It was beneficial to have some limitations.
This prevented some sly competitors from running too fast to be caught.
Although spatial abilities were limited to one hundred meters, there was no limit on pure speed.
After all, Chen Mo possessed the Godspeed Source Crystal.
Once activated, his speed could rival that of lightning.
Under these event restrictions, it was much more useful than teleportation.
However, the current complex surroundings made it difficult to build up speed quickly.
Upon entering the event area, Chen Mo immediately summoned his outer incarnation, Zhui Yi.
Together, they proceeded to the next floor, slaying Skeleton Monsters along the way.
As for his prey, firstly, it was currently quite far away. Secondly, the prey wasn’t valuable at the moment; killing it wouldn’t yield many points. There was no sense in sacrificing the reward for reaching the next floor first just to hunt it down.
The architectural style of the Demon Tower’s first floor was unique and ancient, emanating strong magic elements and a fantastical atmosphere.
The interior walls of the tower were made of black stones and dark purple Crystal Stones, creating a mysterious and solemn tone.
The black stones were inscribed with intricate patterns and runes that emitted faint glimmers of Magic Power.
The Crystal Stones, embedded within the walls, radiated a soft and warm glow.
On the map of the entire first floor, only a highlight indicating the staircase to the next level was visible; a complete and clear map couldn’t be seen. Only the route Chen Mo had traveled appeared on the map.
As Chen Mo continued onward, using his perception ability to assess the situation within a hundred meters, he discovered that the entire first floor of the Demon Tower was an extremely complex maze. Intricate corridors and doorways were interwoven, making it challenging to navigate.
The walls were adorned with exquisitely carved statues and bas-reliefs. These portrayed a variety of mysterious creatures and magical symbols, showcasing the history and legends of the Demon Tower.
Chen Mo tried attacking the wall to take a shortcut, but found that regardless of how powerful his attacks were, they had no effect on the Demon Tower’s walls.
The walls emanated a powerful defensive force, making them indestructible and impervious.
Chen Mo’s attacks only left faint traces on the wall but caused no significant damage.
Clearly, the Demon Tower was protected by a formidable power of rules.
It was utterly impossible to take a shortcut.
Apparently, one had to use the conventional passages and correct methods to reach the next floor.
Chen Mo gave up attacking the walls and continued along the corridor.
Meanwhile, his Moluo’s Brain was also active. It was just as useful even on an event map.
Just as Chen Mo and Zhui Yi reached the end of a passage and discovered a three-way fork and some gigantic stone doors, Moluo’s Brain instantly provided prompts.
[The left stone door leads to a treasure box room—you’ll need to obtain the treasure box key before you can open the treasure box. Alternatively, you can choose to activate the treasure box, transforming it into a powerful Treasure Box Monster, and obtain rewards by defeating it.]
[The middle stone door leads to a wisdom space—you need to complete a wisdom trial before you can leave and collect the points reward.]
[The right stone door is an ordinary passage with no special features.]
"Quite handy, Moluo’s Brain can even get insights like these in advance," Chen Mo said to Zhui Yi with a smile. "You take the middle one, I’ll go left."
Zhui Yi nodded, pushed open the middle stone door, and went inside.
As soon as he entered, the stone door creaked shut behind him.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, walked towards the left stone door. He noticed that the beautifully carved patterns on all three doors were identical, each displaying several symbols representing power, wisdom, and mystery.
Chen Mo then pushed open the leftmost stone door and entered the treasure box space.
At this moment, everyone outside was watching his movements closely.
While the contestants couldn’t view the complete map, the spectators outside had a "God’s perspective." This allowed them to see each contestant’s location and the entire map of the Demon Tower’s first floor.
They noticed a top-tier fourth-transition contender operating near Chen Mo.
This top-tier fourth-transition contender was a 53-star competitor with a bound SS-level pet.
His strength was truly noteworthy.
Since the contestants’ perception range was only a hundred meters, neither of them was aware of the other’s presence yet.
However, many people were hoping for an immediate confrontation. They could hardly wait to see how a 15-star second-transition contestant dared to enter the fourth-transition competition zone and challenge opponents dozens of stars his senior.
It was truly perplexing.
For a 15-star second-transition contestant, how many attribute points could each level grant?
A level 60, 15-star second-transition contestant would have, at most, only 13,500 freely assignable attribute points.
Compared to a level 100, 53-star fourth-transition contender with 290,000 freely assignable attribute points, the former had over twenty times fewer such attributes.
Moreover, most equipment attributes were amplified based on Star System and the number of transitions.
Thus, an enormous gap in their attribute values had opened up.
Under no circumstances could they imagine a top second-transition contender being able to challenge a top fourth-transition contender.
The only way to convince the crowd was for them to actually battle and demonstrate true skill.
Ordinary spectators found this hard to believe. However, after the incident with the hundred-member, four-star Demonization Brigade in the previous event, those from the Yongming Star System had some understanding of Chen Mo’s power. They knew clearly that if an ordinary fourth-transition contender fell into Chen Mo’s hands, they would not survive.
However, the difference between a top-tier fourth-transition competitor and an ordinary one was as wide as the gap between heaven and earth.
If they did collide, the outcome would certainly be something to look forward to.
While all eyes were on him, Chen Mo had already collected the rewards from the treasure box space and walked back out.
The top-tier fourth-transition contender navigated various twists and turns, seemingly on a path that would soon bring him into Chen Mo’s hundred-meter perception range. However, he suddenly stopped.
It turned out he was looking at the leaderboard.
At this moment, on the points leaderboard visible to all participants, Chen Mo’s rank had suddenly jumped to first place.
After all, he had just collected rewards from both the treasure box space and the testing space.
His points had rocketed to 20,000.
Even the fastest top-tier fourth-transition contenders had only managed to acquire 10,000 points by this point.
