"Since I've received a guaranteed spot, I'm now in the top 16, right?" Luo Feng asked.
Zhuo Ying nodded slightly. "Yes, in the top 16, eight of them are guaranteed spots. The other eight will require all Kawang to compete for them during the auditions."
"Therefore, once the preliminary round is over and the top 16 are decided, you'll enter the finals of the World Tournament. If you win four matches in a row, you'll become the champion."
Zhuo Ying twirled her jade-like fingers and took out a scroll. She handed it to Luo Feng and said, "It records the eight guaranteed spots for the five regions."
Luo Feng opened the scroll and a row of information appeared before his eyes.
Northern Desert, Nebula Legion, Qin Junyi.
Central Plains, Ye Xiaojin from the Sword Keeper Family.
Northern Desert, Nebula Legion, Gu Fusheng.
Southern Border, Thousand Island Lake, Liu Xiuyan.
Western Region, Divine Strategies Hall, Zhao Qianyu.
Northern Desert, Beimang Mountain, Yan Beiming.
Central Plains, Ye Peijiu from the Sword Keeper Family.
Eastern Wilderness, Yan Dynasty, Luo Feng.
Luo Feng looked at the list of names on the scroll with a serious expression. Although the scroll didn't reveal too much information, it was obvious from the allocation of the spots.
Central Plains had two spots.
Northern Desert had three spots.
The five regions were actually five competition zones.
The number of spots in each competition zone was determined by the strength of the competition zone.
The continent had a total of eight guaranteed spots, and Northern Desert had three. It was clear how powerful they were.
The other seven people were all fierce people who stood at the top of the younger generation. They were the top geniuses nurtured by the other regions. It was clear how fierce they were.
Although he had also stepped on geniuses all the way to his current position, he had only won a few rounds in the past.
However, in many crucial matches, he had only defeated his opponent by one move. He did not have an overwhelming advantage.
Moreover, the geniuses he had met in the past couldn't even be considered the top geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness, let alone the entire Tianyuan Continent.
Therefore, he was under a lot of pressure and didn't dare to let his guard down.
Luo Feng rubbed the space between his brows and said, "Is this order based on strength?"
Zhuo Ying blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "This is the continent's largest intelligence organization, the Hidden Element Society. They analyze your strength from your battles and then divide you according to your strength."
"Of course, this doesn't mean that you are in eighth place. Given your current three star Kawang, I'm afraid that you will be at the bottom of the top 16 after the auditions."
Luo Feng let out a long sigh. Was he really that bad?
However, it was also good that he was a noob. At least others would not spend a lot of effort to study him.
"Then, what should I do next?" he asked curiously.
Zhuo Ying said, "The next six months will be a long audition, and your main task is to cultivate in seclusion. I've already made the arrangements for you."
"Six months …" Luo Feng's eyes brightened. No wonder Prince Qi kept saying that the recommendation was very important. If he couldn't get a recommendation, he would probably lose in the World Competition.
Ever since he made his debut, he had never cultivated in seclusion for half a year. At most, he would cultivate for a month before he had to start the competition like a duck being driven onto a perch.
The six months before him were definitely plenty for him. When he came out of seclusion in six months, his cultivation level would definitely soar.
Thinking about it, he was really looking forward to it.
…
In the end, Luo Feng defeated Ye Liuyun and Zhuo Ying killed Li Kongxuan.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. At this moment, all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness understood that although the Yan Dynasty seemed to be declining day by day, it was actually hiding its strength and biding its time.
At the same time, Luo Feng's name resounded throughout the Eastern Wilderness.
A three star defeated a four star and defeated Ye Liuyun's four Star Card with one punch. The famous scene spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness.
At such a young age, he was already the Luo King, which made him the spiritual leader of the younger generation.
At the same time, the Yan Dynasty took advantage of the situation to expand after conquering the three forces. No one dared to disobey them.
The dynasty's flag was raised all over the Eastern Wilderness.
…
General Pavilion Lord Residence
"Phew, there are still four more competitions."
Back in the mansion, Luo Feng slumped onto a chair and let out a sigh of relief. He was also feeling extremely exhausted.
After the World Competition ended, he had to sleep for three days and three nights.
During this time, he had been very tense. He seemed to be happy every day, but behind the glamour, there was an immeasurable pressure.
After winning the championship and defeating the dynasty's last enemy, he could retire in the Yan Dynasty.
If he had nothing to do, he could teach some juniors how to make Star Card. If he had nothing to do, he could commentate on Star Card competitions. Or he could travel and be a guest at the Cyan Phoenix Race. Thinking about it, it was quite nice.
As for the continents outside the Tianyuan Continent, to be honest, he was not looking forward to it.
In Luo Feng's opinion, it was better to live in a comfortable circle and be happy.
It did not mean that he had to become the strongest person in the world.
For example, Sage Xuan had left the Tianyuan Continent after winning the championship and went to other continents.
Although he had obtained an opportunity and become a Sage, what was the point of becoming a Sage? Wasn't he still a pile of dirt?
What was the point of cultivating for so many years?
Moreover, he believed that the empress would become the strongest person in the world one day.
The empress had become a Card Emperor at such a young age. With such a terrifying cultivation talent, even if he obtained a Sacred Body, he might not be able to compete with her.
Therefore, the empress had to work hard to become the strongest person in the world and protect the people around her.
As for him, he just needed to be the empress's gigolo.
He took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. It was time to make a Star Card.
Luo Feng gently rubbed his Star Ring and took out the Sea Fishing Needle.
He clicked to make a Star Card.
"Star Card System is starting. Please draw a Star Card pattern."
As the pen drew, the image of a white-haired old man slowly took shape.
He had all kinds of treasures in his hands.
A fishing rod.
A peach wood-like whip.
He clicked to confirm.
"Star Card pattern drawn. System auditing …"
"Auditing passed. Please fill in the Star Card background."
Luo Feng thought for a while and wrote:
"Once upon a time, there was a person called Jiang Ziya.
"Jiang Ziya is also known as Jiang Shang. Because his ancestor once assisted Yu the Great in controlling the flood, he was enfeoffed in the land of Lu because of his contribution. Therefore, he also took Lu as his surname. Therefore, many people also called Jiang Shang Lu Shang."
"However, by the time Jiang Ziya was born, the whole family was on the decline. In order to make a living, Jiang Ziya was a butcher who sold meat, a waiter in a hotel, and a beggar on the street.
"However, Jiang Ziya was poor but ambitious. In his spare time, Jiang Ziya still liked to study astronomy, geography, the art of war and strategies, and the ways of governing the country that many people couldn't understand.
"Because, in Jiang Ziya's opinion, he will be a hero one day. He will meet someone who can identify the best horses and help the people in the world with what he has learned in his life."
"He waited until he was 72 years old. On this day, he used a straight hook to fish at the bank of the Wei River and attracted the attention of King Wen of Zhou.
"The two of them hugged each other and talked happily. King Wen asked Jiang Ziya to help him, but Jiang Ziya begged King Wen of Zhou to carry him back with the excuse that he was old and couldn't walk.
"King Wen of Zhou carried him for 808 steps. Jiang Ziya said that he would protect the Zhou Dynasty for 808 years. Sure enough, the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed after 800 years.
"Later, Jiang Ziya helped King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, he held the List of Deification and promoted the meritorious officials during the war.
"Jiang Ziya himself was the leader of the gods. The Heavenly Lord of Origin gave him the God Beating Whip to supervise the gods.
"Every time he went to a place, the master god in charge of the place would give up his position and let Jiang Ziya become the master god of the place. He could exercise all the divine rights of the place. This is called the Tai Gong is here, the gods are here …
"He once learned a formation called the Innumerable Immortals Formation."
"…"
There was a lot of writing in the background of the star card. Because it was not only about Jiang Ziya, but also about the entire Apotheosized Universe. Therefore, Yang Qiang, Lei Zhenzi, and so on had to be written and embellished.
In other words, he was actually rewriting the [Investiture of the Gods] in disguise.
Of course, it was a simplified version of the Investiture of the Gods.
Soon, the background was filled.
"The background of the Star Card is filled. The system is reviewing …"
"Review passed. Please add the synthesized materials …"
Luo Feng thought for a while. First, he needed the Sea God Fishing Needle.
Jiang Ziya's weapon was the God Beating Whip, so he needed a whip-like material.
Jiang Ziya knew the Innumerable Immortals Formation, so he needed a formation material.
Jiang Ziya had the List of Deification, so he needed a scroll material.
Jiang Ziya was a human, so he needed hair as usual.
So, Luo Feng told Chu Man what he needed. Soon, Chu Man found the four platinum materials.
Thus, the Sea God Fishing Needle + hair + formation + scroll + whip = Jiang Ziya.
"Star Card materials added. The system is reviewing …"
"Review passed. The Star Card is being generated …"
Jiang Ziya:
Realm: Three Star Kawang
Quality: Diamond
Weapon: God Beating Whip: When attacking, it will whip the soul of the enemy's Star Card. There is a 10% chance of stunning the enemy's Star Card.
Passive: 800 Steps: In the past, King Wen of Zhou carried Jiang Ziya and walked 800 steps. Therefore, Jiang Ziya protected the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years.
Skill Effect: When Jiang Ziya's HP is below the killing line, he can choose a Star Card and transfer all the damage he receives to that Star Card.
If the Star Card takes x% of Jiang Ziya's HP, the Star Card can't be controlled for x minutes. Even if its HP reaches zero, it won't die.
Ten Thousand Immortals Formation: With Jiang Ziya as the center of the formation and other Star Cards as support, Jiang Ziya can set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to kill the enemy. At least two support Star Cards are required. The more support Star Cards there are, the higher the damage.
Gods Avoid: Jiang Ziya controls one of the enemy's Star Card or the soul of a summoned creature and controls it for one minute. He can't use his limited skill.
Yang Jian: Jiang Ziya is Yang Jian's uncle. He can summon Yang Jian to fight for him for ten minutes.
Fishing: Jiang Ziya starts fishing. There is a 40% chance that the target will learn an ordinary skill.
The Willing Ones Are Hooked: Jiang Ziya can use an ordinary skill of any Star Card in his team. When the skill is used, the enemy's Star Card can choose to doubt it. If the enemy doesn't doubt that the skill is Jiang Ziya's, Jiang Ziya can safely use the skill.
If the enemy's Star Card guesses correctly, Jiang Ziya will deduct 20% of its HP and Star Energy. If the enemy's Star Card guesses incorrectly, Jiang Ziya will deduct 20% of its HP and Star Energy. If the enemy's Star Card guesses incorrectly, the enemy's Star Card will deduct 20% of its HP and Star Energy.
[Investiture of the Gods]: Choose a dead Star Card. It can choose to obey fate and become a God. If it becomes a God, it will be resurrected. If the God is not a Star Card, it will become a Star Card. After one evolution, its realm will increase by two stars. All its skills will be strengthened and it will enter the God state.
It can also choose to resist fate and refuse to become a God. If it refuses to become a God, it means that it is doubting the heavens. Then, Jiang Ziya will summon a Heavenly Calamity Curse set by the Primeval Lord of Heaven and summon Heavenly Lightning to strike a teammate of the enemy's Star Card.
Description: "I can stay by the river and fish for an entire day."
Luo Feng examined Jiang Ziya's skills.
[God Beating Whip]: When attacking, it will whip the soul. There is a 10% chance of stunning the target.
[Eight Hundred Steps]: This skill perfectly restored the background of the Star Card. It seems that the Star Card system is also very mechanical. Some thought was put into the design of the skill.
When Jiang Ziya's HP is low, the damage he receives will be transferred to the Star Card of his team.
If the Star Card is Kai Huang, Kai Huang will take 20% of Jiang Ziya's HP, x = 20. In the next 20 minutes, even if Kai Huang's HP reaches zero, he will not die.
This passive skill is Jiang Ziya's life-saving skill and also a support skill for his teammates.
You take the damage for me and I will protect you.
You carry me on your back and I will protect you.
[Ten Thousand Immortals Formation]: This is a formation type skill. It can be understood as a combination skill between Star Cards.
At least three Star Cards are required to use this skill. There are many restrictions, so naturally, the final effect will be better.
[Gods Avoid]: This skill fits the background very well. It can be considered as a disguised form of mind control.
However, this skill is much more advanced than mind control.
After all, mind control is still mind control. However, you can't make the Star Card do things that go against the bottom line of the Star Card.
For example, in the previous match, Ye Liuyun controlled Orochimaru. He can command Orochimaru to attack Luo Feng's Star Card, but he can't control Orochimaru to commit suicide.
After all, the Star Card and the Star Card Master have a symbiotic relationship.
Even Luo Feng can't force Orochimaru to commit suicide, let alone Ye Liuyun who is not the original owner.
As for [Gods Avoid], it was different. Jiang Ziya directly occupied the body of the other party's star card and could do whatever he wanted.
The only downside is that he can't use the limited skill.
[Yang Jian]: Summon type skill. In the background of the Star Card, Jiang Ziya emphasized that Jiang Ziya is Yang Jian's martial uncle.
Moreover, Jiang Ziya is a commander type character. He doesn't have strong one-on-one combat ability. Therefore, he can't lack summons.
[Fishing]: A very dirty skill. It can steal the opponent's skill.
40% chance. It's not very big, but it's not very small either. It depends on luck.
Luo Feng's gaze stayed on [The Willing Ones Are Hooked] for a long time. This skill is a bit complicated.
