CHAPTER 433: CHAPTER 433: COMPETITION CONTENT

"And it’s not quite what I imagined, the rules of this competition are different from before."

As soon as he entered the base, Song Chao’an spoke to Qin Wanfeng.

He had arrived early last night because of a sudden notification.

At that time, he was curious about what was so urgent, only to find out after arriving that the various federations had agreed to modify the competition rules.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanfeng snorted coldly but was not too surprised, "We are not unaware of what kind of people these folks are, with hundreds of years of experience, we know it all too clearly."

First, Qin Wanfeng scoffed at theforeign federations, then glanced at Xiao Zhan, revealing a trace of confidence.

No matter how they changed, as long as Qin Wanfeng had Xiao Zhan, the great general, he was not afraid of not winning.

"What exactly did they change the competition rules to?" Qin Wanfeng asked.

Song Chao’an’s expression was a bit strange, "I don’t know whose crazy idea it was, but this time the competition isn’t entirely about fighting, but includes tests of speed, strength, and skill, with the fight at the end, and the scoring for the fight is very low, it feels like some sort of alternative triathlon."

Hearing this, Qin Wanfeng also frowned.

Showing a hint of confusion.

"Speed, strength, skill? And then the fight?"

What kind of competition is this?

Before this, they had never engaged in such competitions; it was always about fighting as soon as there was a disagreement.

Such peaceful competitions, one might have to go back to the ancient eras.

"Except for those weaker federations, probably no one would propose such competition rules," Qin Wanfeng said.

Song Chao’an nodded and said, "According to the previous agreement of the great federations, to ensure fairness, the competition rules are set by rotation among the federations, and this time it just happened to be their turn."

"Moreover, in the final combat stage of the competition, causing irreversible damage to the opponent is not allowed, or else the results will be annulled."

Qin Wanfeng said, "This is understandable, after all, each federation has sent their main supporters; losing any of them would be unbearable."

"Has the detailed competition content been released yet?" Qin Wanfeng asked again.

Song Chao’an shook his head, "Not yet, the first match is tomorrow, we will probably receive the detailed content tonight."

"Hmph, still playing it mysterious, it’s clear they don’t want to give us a chance to prepare."

"Small federations are like that, they have no real strength, so they can only use such despicable tricks."

"By the way, which federation is it this time that is setting the rules?" Qin Wanfeng suddenly asked curiously.

Song Chao’an answered, "It’s the Lizard Federation."

The Lizard Federation?

"They aren’t exactly a small federation."

"The territory is not small, but you know what their scope is like."

"True."

Afterwards, several people went back to their rooms to rest.

After resting for a while.

When afternoon came.

The competition content was released.

The first event was about speed, where the participants start from the base to a designated location where a marker is placed. The first to grab the marker and bring it back wins.

After reading the rule, Gu Chen immediately said, "Is it that simple?"

His expression was somewhat excited.

The reason was simple; his attribute was the Wind attribute, and in terms of speed, Wind attribute was among the top.

Thus, seeing this competition content.

Excitement surged across Gu Chen’s face.

And he also wore a hint of smugness, glancing at Xiao Zhan unintentionally, and said, "You guys can relax in this round, just leave it to me, I promise to clinch the first place!"

He spoke with pride and confidence.

But Qin Wanfeng threw cold water on him, "This competition is not as simple as you imagine."

Before Gu Chen could respond, Qin Wanfeng continued, "I checked the place where the marker is placed, it’s very far from the base, even a Sixth Grade Spirit Master running at full speed would take half a day to make the round trip."

"Moreover, there’s another point to note, winning is only considered upon bringing the marker back. But importantly, the markers are identical. Plus, each federation has three participants in the competition, you know what that implies, don’t you?"

With this reminder.

Gu Chen got the point.

That is, fighting is inevitable.

The markers are identical and just need to be brought back to win.

This means that it’s entirely possible for someone from one federation to laboriously bring back a marker only to be ambushed by someone from another federation near the finish line.

Waiting for the hare to hit the tree.

As the snipe and clam grapple, the fisherman profits.

Such scenarios are possible.

This rule undoubtedly adds a lot of uncertainty.

So, one thing is clear, relying solely on speed won’t do.

"Look at the last rule; participants can use any means to retrieve the marker but are not allowed to cause irreversible damage to other participants."

"That sentence almost explicitly states the central idea of killing and looting."

Qin Wanfeng, pointing out the crux, addressed the group.

Song Chao’an also added, "Knowing the Lizard Federation and their lack of moral limits, you might encounter very rogue methods in this match."

With the rule preventing irreversible damage to other participants.

Song Chao’an is not too worried about the safety of Xiao Zhan and the others.

After all, Xiao Zhan and his team represent not just themselves, but the Longxia Federation behind them.

Blatantly breaking the rules would certainly mean preparing for retaliation from the Longxia Federation.

So, he’s more worried about other federations undermining Xiao Zhan and his team.

And in this regard.

Xiao Zhan and his team are still young, likely not a match for those experienced tricksters.

Yet, Xiao Zhan confidently said, "Block the soldiers and drown the water, there’s nothing to be afraid of, I’m confident of winning the first place."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen also immediately refused to lose, thumping his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me with complete confidence; before absolute speed, all conspiracies and tricks are futile!"

His words emphasized ’me’, not ’us’.

This was another form of rivalry.

Gu Chen still felt somewhat unconvinced about Xiao Zhan.

Song Chao’an slightly frowned, such a mentality is fine in internal federation competition and he even supports it.

But under these circumstances, where federation interests are at stake, such a mindset can lead to irrevocable losses!

He reminded Gu Chen, "This is not an individual competition, but a three-member team competition; you must support each other and cooperate, personal heroism is not allowed!"
