...

The weather is clear and the sky above the Patrick Islands is blue.

Located in the hinterland of the main island, the restricted area of ​​the ruins directly under the academy was already overcrowded this day.

"Have you heard of it? This ruin originated from ancient times!"

"I, of course I know. It is said that since the Magic Association moved its headquarters here, it has not been opened to the public for decades."

"Tsk tsk, it's amazing. Look at such a large-scale ancient ruins, how many secrets of ancient magic are hidden in it?"

"I didn't expect that this Truth Conference will be related to this ancient ruin. Has the Magic Association resolved all the secrets of this ancient ruin?"

“…”

The contestants and the audience who came to this ruins were all talking about it at this time, and their guesses about the ancient ruins in front of them never stopped for a moment.

As the last qualifier in the last round of the qualifiers, Wu Hui was standing at the end of the contestants' team and looking at the ruins ahead.

This ruin is indeed very ancient, with traces of the erosion of time everywhere. Within the area of ​​about two football fields, it is covered with strange tall stone pillars. At first glance, it looks like a strange rock forest formed by natural weathering. The strange rocks are rugged and spectacular.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the tall stone pillars covered with traces of time are actually arranged neatly in a specific pattern.

Wu Hui also discovered that between the stone pillars, there were small magic arrays with mottled traces. These small magic arrays were connected to each other and finally formed this entire large ruin with the surrounding stone pillars.

Among these ancient patterns that form the magic circle, it can be clearly seen that there are many repairs and completion parts. It is obvious that this ruin has been carefully analyzed and repaired by the masters of the Magic Association.

This process is likely to last decades and has only been able to operate well until recently. As for what it is for and how it is used as a second round of tests, Wu Hui doesn't know.

"Everyone is quiet!"

A voice full of majesty spread to the entire audience in an instant through amplification magic.

Everyone at the scene immediately turned their eyes and saw Case Wood, the current president of the Magic Association, standing on the temporary rostrum with integrity.

Beside him are two other famous level 7 magic saints in the magic world, the palace holy magician Andrew Hyway, and the "Ice Disaster" Isville.

The crowd and contestants on site were full of respect for these three bigwigs in the magic world, and soon became quiet, and everyone looked like they listened patiently.

President Wood was very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd, and his expression became a little more proud, so he looked at the crowd and continued to introduce: "As you can see, this is a magical remains from ancient times. However, after more than ten years of research and restoration of our association's research team, we can finally fully operate it!"

After hearing what President Wood said, the crowd at the scene immediately burst into surprises and whispers.

It has been completely resolved and repaired and can be fully operated? This can definitely be called the number one news of the year in the magic world! And such big news was deliberately put into the second round of promotion before it was truly revealed.

It is conceivable how excited and excited the participants and the audience who just learned the news will be.

"quiet!"

President Wood raised his hand and pressed down the excited voice of the crowd, and continued to introduce, "The real area of ​​this ruin is actually far more than that now. The earth under our feet and the college buildings around us were part of this ruin in ancient times."

"It's a pity that time is ruthless, and the materials left for us to study are very limited. All we can do is to grasp every gift of history, do our best to reproduce the valuable knowledge of ancient magic to the vast number of young magicians who are exploring the path to truth!"

Next, President Wood naturally made a routine, and launched a series of flattery to the Academy and the Magic Association to attract more young people to join them.

Wu Hui was not interested in listening to this. He was like a student attending the training conference. He let the director speak on the stage and turned his eyes away alone.

Just as he was drowsy, President Wood finally got to the point.

"After our association's research team, many years of analysis, it was learned that this ancient magic ruin was a training facility used by ancient humans to cultivate young people. Although we only restored part of it, this part is the core center of the entire magic facility. The functions it has are enough to allow our second round contestants to get a perfect competition experience comparable to that of that year!"

President Wood suddenly raised his voice and announced with a proud look, "That's right, it's the competition! The event to be tested in the second round of the promotion competition is the players' practical ability to use magic!"

A hundred contestants on the scene and the crowds of onlookers who were so crowded that they were so crowded that they could not be free from the outside, a buzzing discussion immediately broke out.

No one expected that just the second round, he got the most difficult practical operation in the past, and it seemed to be a practical competition.

Just using this ancient ruin that is so ancient that it is mottled, how should we actually compete?

Everyone at the scene was full of curiosity. President Wood glanced at everyone's reaction and continued to introduce with great enthusiasm: "The superb technology of ancient ruins is exclusively owned by our Magic Association in the world! Now, you will witness this ancient magic that is almost magical!"

"Next, all contestants only need to stand in the magic circle between the stone pillars and put on our special helmets to allow their spirit to enter an extremely real virtual illusion in an instant! There will be an arena where they fight with each other but will not be fatally hurt!"

"Wow! Really fake?"

"Virtual fantasy? Extremely real? Or an arena!"

"What kind of superb magic technology is this? It's so amazing, right?"

The crowd at the scene was in high spirits, and the contestants in the second round all looked bright and eager to try.

For many of them, they may not be able to reach the last step in the second round of strict tests, but as long as they can personally experience the magic of ancient magic, they will be content.

"Wait, this, is this..."

In the crowd, Wu Hui was stunned in place.

He combined President Wood's description just now and looked at the ancient ruins beside him, and he was secretly shocked inside, with characteristics helmets, virtual illusions, real competitions... This broken ruins are probably not an online game server, right? And it is an immersive holographic virtual online game!

There are also those ancient humans from the ancient era. Could it be that among them there are also ancestors traveling through the earth?

Wu Hui couldn't believe it. The wind was messy. Is this fake? The Earthlings have not yet developed a real holographic online game.

President Wood raised his hand again to suppress the discussions in the audience and began to announce the relevant rules for advancing the competition.

"The second round of the promotion competition adopts a two-person team and a point elimination system. The competition process will be broadcast to you through the magic water screen, and the points ranking will also appear on the adjacent water screen. The players who ranked in the top ten will enter the third round of the finals, and the rest of the players will be eliminated!"

President Wood raised his hand and pointed, and two water magic screens that were exactly the same as those in the first round of the qualifiers rose majestic from the side of the ancient ruins.

The first water curtain shows the names of the 100 contestants, but the ranking and points are currently displayed at zero. Another large water curtain adjacent to it is divided into dozens of small screens.

The small screens show different scenes, looking like a desolate and dilapidated ancient battlefield.

The crowd became even more excited, and everyone was wandering with a thought: Could this ancient magic ruin really teleport the spiritual power of the contestants to this virtual ancient battlefield? Let those contestants usually compete in the virtual battlefield in the form of spiritual power?

The crowd was in high spirits, so Wu Hui raised his hand and wiped a cold sweat.

This broken ruin is indeed an immersive holographic online game, and a competitive holographic online game! Sure enough, you still can't underestimate the other world. This other world has existed for so long, and there are ancient times and real gods. It's normal to have more strange things.

Take Wu Hui as an example. As long as he has abundant divine power and his willingness, it is easy to create a world similar to a holographic online game.

"The rules of the second round of competition are very simple. The contestants will form teams in pairs and then be teleported to a random location in the virtual battlefield. In the virtual battlefield, except for the only teammate, the rest of the contestants are all enemies. Killing the enemy will get 5 points, assisting kill 3 points, and killing teammates will be deducted 10 points!"

President Wood continued to announce the rules loudly to the contestants, "In addition, there are many potential monsters and enemies in the virtual battlefield. Killing them can earn 1, 3, 5 points, etc., killing advanced monsters, and exploring certain dangerous areas will obtain precious magic tools and equipment! Remember, using your courage and wisdom will be your shortcut to gaining advantages and winning!"

All the contestants, including the three geniuses, had their eyes shining and their expressions were full of excitement.

In a virtual battlefield, using courage and wisdom to fight each other, and fighting monsters and treasure hunting, the passion in their bodies boiled in an instant.

"Okay, okay, I understand, this game is a combination of chicken and lol." Wu Hui complained weakly, but this type of game is indeed quite fun. He played a lot when he was on Earth back then, and his record was pretty good.

As Wu Hui expected, President Wood continued to announce: "The competition time is three magic months! After the competition begins, every half of the magic months, the arena will shrink to the center point. If the contestants are not in the competitive circle at this time, they will be eliminated immediately!"

Many participants at the scene were excited, and they also felt more cautious in their expressions.

According to the competition rules, living a life is a long time, otherwise you will be eliminated by the competitive circle. The earlier you eliminate, the fewer points you will get, which means the lower the ranking.

It seems that if you want to win, you must keep moving and take the initiative as much as possible. At least for most of the time, you need to take the initiative to fight so that you can continue to earn points and improve your ranking.

"In addition, in order to balance the combat power between the players, our Magic Association has specially added a wise balance system in this competitive arena!"

As President Wood's passionate and proud voice rang out, Wu Hui almost didn't spew out an old blood in the crowd.

What?

This game is broken, and there is a balance system?
Chapter completed!
