"Forgive me for my ignorance, but I really couldn't tell that you cultivated telekinesis!" Ding Meng humbly asked for guidance.
At this moment, the night was beautiful, and insects were softly chirping. Nanxun stood up from the bench and slowly walked to the bluestone road. She raised her head and looked at a street lamp beside her. The lamp was a light source emitted by a miniature crystal panel.
However, under Nanxun's gaze, the crystal panel went out with a "hiss".
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue both frowned. This ability was something that most Origin Ability Users could do.
As if she knew their doubts, Nanxun smiled gently. She stretched out her slender finger and lightly drew a half arc in front of her. Immediately, a small mass of air was pulled out.
Ding Meng hesitated. "This is …"
Nan Xun nodded and turned to face the river beneath her feet. Suddenly, water vapor began to evaporate from the surface of the river. Then, the water rose on its own and arrived in front of her. The water seemed to be controlled by her will. It changed shape at will and did not dissipate.
Ding Meng was shocked. "Transformation Ability?"
Nanxun smiled and nodded. "Crazy Boss, your eyesight is indeed not bad."
Ding Meng looked at her in shock. Only he knew how terrifying telekinesis was.
In Lingtian King's imprint, Ding Meng had seen a description of transformation telekinesis. This was a unique type of telekinesis. It could change the nature and shape of the target, and thus obtain the target's attributes. This type of telekinesis was soft and flexible. The only drawback was that it could not transform living things.
In layman's terms, the transformational telekinesis was a very powerful energy converter. It could convert air into electricity, water into fire, and freeze origin flames into ice. It could convert any material into a tool or machine unit. This conversion was all-encompassing and omnipotent. It was an extremely rare god-level telekinesis in the universe.
It was recorded in the imprint that Ling Tian Jun had encountered such an expert when he was young. The other party was very difficult to deal with. The only way to deal with them was to use an overwhelming amount of energy to exceed the carrying capacity of the other party's telekinesis. To put it bluntly, it was to make the opponent explode. Otherwise, there was almost no chance of winning against a Shapeshifting Warlock of the same level.
It was no wonder that Nanxun did not become a Divine Light martial artist. Nanxun looked down on him because he had mastered a more powerful psychic power.
"Amazing!" Ding Meng was sincerely impressed, but he was not envious. He knew that this kind of thing could not be envied.
Fortunately, Nanxun had already taken the initiative to explain, "I once rescued a special alien lifeform in outer space and unintentionally awakened this psychic ability. It can be considered fate."
Ji Chenxue couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case … Sister Xun, Lei Jingtian should have given up his position for this Storm Gathering, right?"
"It's not as simple as you think. Telekinesis and Origin Energy complement each other. Just because you're good at it doesn't mean you'll win. In the end, a martial artist's overall strength determines everything," Nanxun explained patiently.
Ding Meng also expressed his agreement. Overall strength was the way to go.
Nanxun sighed slightly. "Lei Jingtian is really strong. Up until now, no one has dared to say that they have absolute confidence in defeating him. Don't you think so, Crazy Maniac Boss?"
Ding Meng sighed. "I haven't fought with him before, so I don't know how strong he is."
Nanxun said, "You've fought with Ling Xingqi before, right?
But that was many years ago. At that time, Ling Xingqi had yet to obtain the Divine Light energy. If I were to compare, Ling Xingqi would be defeated after three moves at most. "
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue were both shocked. "He's really that strong?"
Nanxun nodded. "It's true. Last time, Lei Jingtian didn't use this ID, and I had to withdraw midway. This time, Xingxian told me that Lei Jingtian's ID had appeared again. I don't think anyone would dare to impersonate him, so I came as well."
Ding Meng sighed. "He really is one of the favorites to win the championship."
Nanxun's eyes flashed. "But I also have high hopes for Crazy Maniac Boss."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "What kind of boss am I?"
Nanxun laughed again. "In my opinion, a person who can treat others to a meal, a free tour, and a free trip is a boss."
Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh. "You're making me crazy."
Nanxun blinked and laughed. "How about I stay here for a while?"
Ding Meng said, "Of course you're welcome. I didn't think that my little place would be favored by two goddesses of the Federal Empire. It's truly an honor."
Nanxun laughed again. "If Crazy Maniac Boss wants to see my true face, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?"
Nanxun stopped smiling. "Chenxue and I are like sisters. She also told me about what happened in the Empire. Wen Yang is getting more and more out of hand. I feel like I need to remind him."
Ding Meng thought that this was a good thing. Ji Chenxue's strength wasn't bad, and he also had the help of a god like Nanxun. It couldn't be better for them to take care of the matters in the Empire. What he needed to do next was to focus on the Fengyun Convention. He also wanted to meet those legendary experts.
On the eighth day of the carnival, the Pinnacle Showdown was held as scheduled.
All the contestants were teleported to the Holy War Temple in Star Wars City. This was actually a large stadium suspended in the sky. It was similar to a football field and could hold 120,000 spectators.
Of course, these 120,000 spectators weren't ordinary spectators. They were the rich and powerful who had paid a high price to enter. The 128 contestants on the central stage were lined up in a row. President Bai Xingfei and Head of State Wen Yang stood at the very front. The two big shots were going to draw lots before the actual competition began.
Ding Meng wasn't interested in the long speeches and tedious ceremonies of the big shots. This was because the atmosphere in the stadium wasn't as lively as in the livestream.
"Boss, I didn't expect you to be a seeded contestant by the system. You're really 666."
"Are you joking?
I've said it a long time ago. I think Boss is an expert. Now it seems like Boss is an expert. "
"Boss' style today is not bad. He didn't do food delivery and changed to street dancing. He's so smooth."
"Idiot, don't you think Boss is very handsome today?
He must have a professional team of makeup artists. "
"Boss even endorsed an advertisement. He must be rich now. He can afford to hire a team."
"6666 …"
Ding Meng's style was finally normal today. Dai Yi and Lu Qing persuaded him to buy a grey hoodie and wear a pair of sports shoes. This outfit wasn't very eye-catching but looked younger. However, the words on the front of the outfit were especially eye-catching — Bingyi Group. To outsiders, it looked like Bingyi Group had found a crazy person and signed the endorsement contract first. Behind the hoodie were advertisements of all sizes: Man Rou Technology, Old Zheng Eel, Rainbow Gold Group, Beautiful Shadow Cosmetics, Ling Yue Department Store, Yi Bao Metals, Wen He Machinery …
There were all kinds of strange things. However, these were all businesses under Bingyi Group. Man Rou Technology was the research institute. Needless to say, Eel Noodle, Rainbow Gold Group belonged to Irene's family. Beautiful Shadow Cosmetics was Xu Qianqian's family's cosmetics brand. Ling Yue Department Store wasn't famous yet. It was mainly managed by Liang Yi and Su Lingyue. In the future, they would sell materials from the Devouring World. It would probably be popular in the Azure Faction … In short, these were all things that belonged to their own people.
Compared to Ding Meng's low-profile, the other contestants were very eye-catching. The leading contestants were Xing Hong, Ling Xing Qi, and Beidou, Ji Chenyu. Their elegance attracted fans all over the world. Next were beauties like Dai Yi, Lu Qing, and Eisendale.
Ding Meng's focus was different. He saw that Guan Wuming and Du Xing were also standing at the end of the line. They basically didn't speak and were extremely low-key.
Ou Yangguang, who was mentioned by the Transit String, was standing next to him. He was a skinny guy wearing a gray robe and looked very ordinary. However, Ding Meng already knew that this person was the trump card of Sheng Hao Group.
Of course, the most eye-catching person was Lei Jingtian, who was standing in the middle of the line. He was a tall man with a beard. He wore a black suit. His face was cold and dignified. However, the fans had already told Ding Meng that this Lei Jingtian didn't look like this in the past. It was probably just a virtual face. It didn't matter whether it was virtual or not. Everyone just needed to know that this was Lei Jingtian.
The lot-drawing ceremony proceeded very quickly. The names of the other three contestants of the 32nd group were quickly revealed: Moisturizer, Harley Touch, and Crazy Scooter.
"Damn, our group's IDs are really awesome. They're all scooters."
"And they're all branded goods. Moisturizer, hahaha!"
"Crazy Scooter?
How crazy is that? "
"Boss, beat him up!"
…
While the fans were still discussing, Ding Meng had already seen the rules. The first round of the group stage wasn't a one-on-one battle. It was a four-person battle. In other words, all four of them would be placed on the same map.
Those who were observant could immediately see that this was obviously a deliberate move by the officials. The competition was very likely to evolve into a 3v1. The three unseeded contestants would team up to deal with the seeded contestant. It seemed unfair, but it was actually very fair. This was because the seeded contestants didn't need to draw lots. Since they had the upper hand, they had to pay the price.
In this way, the chances of an upset were very high. If they defeated a seeded contestant, they would directly gain fame and fortune. Of course, if the seeded contestant succeeded in defeating all three of them, there would be no need for the rest of the competition to continue. The seeded contestant would directly advance to the top 64. This rule was relatively fair.
Head of State Wen Yang announced loudly, "For the first opening match of the Summit Showdown, please welcome the contestants of the 32nd group onto the stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, four white lights rose from the stage. Ding Meng and the other three were teleported to the special map.
After the white lights flashed, Ding Meng didn't even have time to look at the map before the system's voice sounded first.
"Warning, warning, this ship is under heavy fire. It is estimated that it will crash on the planet ahead in 20 minutes. Please conduct emergency repairs. Please conduct emergency repairs."
What the f * ck was going on?
Ding Meng found himself in the main passage of a starship. Red warning lights were flashing all around him. There seemed to be rumbling explosions in the distance, and the ground was trembling slightly.
Ding Meng quickly expanded his telekinetic vision. He found that the command center was right in front of the main passage. Without saying anything, he rushed in. There had to be a reason why the map was the interior of a starship. His past experience told him that it was better to figure out the situation first.
