Chapter 596: Chapter 338: Hand Over the Fire of Civilization
What Jiang Ye didn’t know.
These people didn’t invite him to form a team because of his strength.
There was another reason.
“Jiang Ye is the face of our White Dragon University,” Song Gang transmitted. “We can’t let him be eliminated in the first stage; at the very least, he must hold out until the second stage.”
“Understood,” Song Xuan, Li Chao, and others nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ye is the champion of the ten-school league!
Although the ten-school league is not famous outside,
among the top ten universities, it’s a highly prestigious competition.
After Jiang Ye won the ten-school league, he was faintly recognized as the top figure at White Dragon among the top ten universities.
Whether White Dragon University acknowledges it or not, at least the other schools do.
If Jiang Ye were to be eliminated prematurely, it would embarrass White Dragon University.
“Jiang Ye is scheduled to duel Zhou Xingkong, should we help?” Song Xuan transmitted his question.
“There’s no need,” Song Gang shook his head. “That’s their personal matter, let him handle it himself.”
In fact, Song Gang didn’t think highly of Jiang Ye.
Challenge Zhou Xingkong?
Even if the realm were unified, he had no confidence in defeating the opponent, let alone Jiang Ye?
…
Jiang Ye was unaware of Song Gang, Song Xuan, and others’ thoughts.
He sat with Chen Zilu, waiting for the Star Battle to begin.
Time passed.
More and more participants arrived.
During this time, Jiang Ye saw many familiar faces, such as Chen Jue of the Chen Family, Li Zihuang of the Li Family, Chu Jingye of the Chu Family…
In no time, an hour passed.
In the waiting area, tens of thousands of participants had gathered, each exuding a powerful presence, clearly extremely strong experts.
“Boom~!”
A beam of light shot into the sky, tearing through the long sky, piercing the nine layers of clouds.
Following that, a massive purple vortex emerged, slowly rotating, emanating an ancient and vast aura.
“I declare!”
“The current Star Battle begins now,” the black-clad host flew into the sky and shouted loudly, “Participants, please enter the [Civilization Remains] battlefield immediately to start the Star Battle!!”
There were no opening remarks.
The words “Star Battle” themselves are a solid opening, needing no further introduction.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Tens of thousands of participants soared into the sky, turning into streams of light rushing towards the huge vortex.
“Charge!”
“Fight!”
“For your glory, do your utmost and fight!” the host shouted loudly. “The Star Battle shines because of you, and Blue Star is glorious because of you!!”
Rumble~ The huge vortex trembled, swallowing tens of thousands of participants whole.
Right after that.
“Wow!”
Enormous light screen projections appeared one after another.
The projection screens revealed the situation in real-time from the perspectives of the tens of thousands of participants.
Moreover, large subtitles emerged, revealing the detailed rules for this Star Battle.
[The Star Battle is divided into two main stages. The first stage is a melee stage, where one must strive to seize more Fire of Civilization. The top one thousand will enter the inner area of the Civilization Remains for the top hundred battles.]
[In the second stage, those ranked in the top hundred by the quantity of Fire of Civilization will enter the core area of Civilization Remains to compete for the championship with Extraordinary Talent.]
…
With this, the Star Battle officially commenced.
The audience was in a frenzy.
Meanwhile, the heat in the live broadcast room started to soar.
One billion people.
Two billion!
Three billion!
Five billion!
…
“It’s started, it’s finally started!”
“The Star Battle, been waiting for it for so long.”
“This year’s stars are divided into two stages? Competing for Fire of Civilization?”
“No wonder Jiang Ye dared to come. According to these rules, he won’t run into Zhou Xingkong in the first stage.”
“I want to see what Jiang Ye is capable of; if he gets eliminated in the first stage, that would be interesting.”
“Shut up, you don’t even have the qualification to participate in the Star Battle, and you dare to mock Jiang Ye?”
“Nonsense! Do you have it?”
“I don’t, but my brother does.”
“Sorry, I’ll shut up now.” Countless viewers debated and focused.
…
At a villa in Penglai University.
“Jiang Ye, sister,” Zhao Qingli also watched the live broadcast screen.
She hoped that in this Star Battle, both Jiang Ye and Zhao Jingxue could emerge victorious.
…
Not only Zhao Qingli, but Jiang Ye’s old friends, like Liu Wanxiao, Yun Qing’Er, Tang Wuji, and Shi Ting, also focused on the live broadcast of the Star Battle.
Similarly, Jiang Ye’s family was even more concerned.
In a villa in Penglai University, Heaven Character Area.
“Jiang Ye.”
“Ye.” Jiang Dahai, Li Anping, and the whole family sat around the TV, all watching nervously.
“Brother, you’ll definitely win the championship!” Jiang Ting clenched her small fists, always confident in Jiang Ye.
…
The outside world’s clamor had nothing to do with Jiang Ye.
After entering the vortex, he found himself in an extremely dark corridor, where all five senses were completely sealed, and even telekinesis couldn’t probe the surroundings.
Jiang Ye slowly advanced along the corridor, not knowing how much time had passed.
“Whoo~”
Finally, it was bright ahead.
An open hall appeared, vast and empty, with walls shrouded in dark purple luminescence, exuding an ancient aura.
“Trialist, strength assessment is about to begin.”
“Please prepare yourself,” an old voice sounded in Jiang Ye’s ear.
“Strength assessment?” Jiang Ye turned around and saw that Chen Zilu and the other participants had disappeared.
In the hall stood only him.
Jiang Ye wasn’t surprised; he had known from reading the rules that before entering the Civilization Remains, a ’strength assessment’ was necessary.
