Chapter 1191 - 708: Making a Move for Redemption, Race for the Top Ten, Splitting the Sea with One Strike!
"Yes, he’s Northern United University’s last hope."
"He should have no problem making it into the top ten. Hopefully, he can go even further."
"I just went to find him; a sign outside his door said ’Training in progress, please do not disturb.’ Meng Chuan is working so hard, not missing a single moment of practice even during the competition. His achievements today are well deserved."
"Competing, training, and conducting research—his mental strength is so perverse, I can’t compare to him..."
The few people spoke quietly before returning to their respective preparation rooms to prepare for the subsequent matches.
...
"Hmm?"
Meng Chuan snapped back to reality, receiving a message from the smart system, reminding him that today is ’Elimination Day’...
He had never lost a match and had already moved to rank 30.
Just now, he hadn’t competed from afternoon to evening, yet his ranking rose to 26...
Steadily advancing.
Therefore, Meng Chuan didn’t feel much; he just wanted to continue practicing.
The mechanical female voice of the smart system sounded, much kinder than usual:
"Contestant Meng Chuan, congratulations on successfully advancing to the top 100 of the First Generation.
Based on the victory point ranking data, you have earned one reward exchange qualification. You can browse the exchange store at any time, wishing you better achievements in the subsequent competitions!
In the fourth round, we will eliminate 90 contestants. If you manage to enter the top ten of the First Generation, you won’t just earn three additional exchange opportunities but also unlock better reward qualifications. The time for this round is unknown, and the format will be announced later. Please make sure to give it your all."
After the voice faded, a projection of the [Dawn Divine Sword], composed of light rays, hovered above the smart system, seemingly tempting him...
"... Here we go again."
Meng Chuan ignored it, heard the notification sound, raised his eyebrows slightly, and directly opened the resource exchange manual.
He had already looked at it before, but at that time, all resources showed [Exchange Qualification Not Obtained].
At this moment, he looked at the light screen displayed atop the smart system equipment, reached out and gently swiped down, and ninety percent of the items changed to show [Can be Exchanged].
Among them was the fifth-grade precious natural treasure, the Millennium Snow Lotus, which Meng Chuan had long considered within his grasp!
"The committee is quite generous; you can exchange a fifth-grade natural treasure in the top 100..."
Meng Chuan was well aware of how rare fifth-grade natural treasures are.
Besides the Magic Mirror and Red Refining Banner, there shouldn’t be anything more valuable than this Millennium Snow Lotus on him.
What can be exchanged are not only natural treasures but also various high-end serum medications from Meili Jian, some alien resources, and even a full-blooded home-use Type-I smart system, all of which he can exchange at this moment.
Further up, fifth-grade Divine Weapons, Divine Armor, and even sixth-grade natural treasures and the like are even more precious, considered rare world-class resources.
To exchange these top-level resources, as the smart system said, requires entering the top ten to unlock the exchange qualification.
"Top ten, is it..."
Meng Chuan was highly tempted, pursed his lips, filled with fighting spirit.
Coming back to his senses, after a brief thought, Meng Chuan decided—
Get the Snow Lotus first.
This item is a unique valuable resource of Great Chu’s Changxian Mountain, it is as high as fifth-grade, and is extremely beneficial for Spiritual Power. Countless Western telekinesis evolution school contestants are eyeing it.
The Snow Lotus does not show stock, but naturally formed items can never be supplied indefinitely.
Meng Chuan seized the chance, got it right away!
Then, the system displayed a successful exchange, the item would be delivered by staff members after the competition ends.
Meng Chuan felt much more at ease in his heart, pondering:
"With this item to deal with Spirit Platform’s resentment, half of master’s problems will be resolved..."
He would one day go to Cosmos to find his master; he never harbored thoughts like ’Is master dead? Is exchanging now a waste?’
If he truly thought like this, that’s not being human...
No need to lavish words on how good master was to him.
Now that he has the ability to step forward and help master solve difficulties, Meng Chuan must do it without hesitation.
His goal is not only the top ten but the top three, even to be First Generation!
Then the number of exchanges would surely be enough, no need to worry now.
Sure enough.
A few minutes later, other top 100 contestants thought over and started to go for their desired items.
Within five minutes, the Millennium Snow Lotus showed "waiting for restock," and Meng Chuan exclaimed he was wise...
Taking a final glance at the exchange list, Meng Chuan focused and immersed himself back into a state of practice.
...
Various countries’ official live broadcast rooms.
At this moment, the host and guests were chatting about the competition while waiting for the specific rules of the fourth round’s 100 into 10 matches.
The tournament committee seemed to still be adjusting, with the smart system yet to announce.
In Great Chu’s live broadcast room, the female host seriously stated:
"The next round will determine the top ten contestants. There are 17 fourth-tier experts globally, plus our Overlord contestant Meng Chuan, the competition is immensely fierce, top experts are certain to leave with regrets!"
As she said this, the comment section was hotly discussing who would stay and who would go.
"Our country’s six Overlords should be stable, we occupy a large portion of the top 100, same for the top ten, no problem at all!"
"But we have to analyze rationally, aside from the easy crushing against fourth-tier experts by Chen Zhiming and Liao Huo...
Meng Chuan and Wang Chongyi can only be considered having a fair possibility of advancement, while Mu Nianxin and Ying’s performance against fourth-tiers doesn’t seem outstanding..."
A large crowd of viewers couldn’t stand this statement and started to criticize him.
"What do you mean? What’s wrong with Mu Nianxin and Ying? Creating conflict? Or what?"
That person immediately couldn’t remain rational, choked out:
"I said nothing..."
"But being the Three-Limit Master, Meng Chuan’s energy is limited. Probably can’t compare with fourth-tier contestants, subsequent matches won’t be as easy as before. As time drags on, exhaustion might show."
