The competition was in full swing, and by the time registration closed, the number of participating adventurers had already exceeded 100,000, which accounted for one percent of the total population!
To enhance the scale of the event and encourage nationwide participation, the officials even launched a series of loan programs. This meant that participants could take out loans to purchase Insect Beasts and repay them after a set period.
If they were unable to repay, it was simple: they would be forced to work in various departments until their debts were cleared.
The rules of the competition were straightforward. The preliminary rounds took place across major cities and gathering spots in Farn County. On segmented battlefields, participants needed to control their Insect Beasts to fight against various monsters.
Each Insect Beast was bound by mental energy, allowing participants to remotely control them through their thoughts, enabling strategic planning for battles.
In the preliminary rounds, a total of 1 Battlefield was designated where fierce Radiation Monsters were unleashed. Participants needed to defeat a certain number of these monsters to determine if they would advance to the top ten thousand.
As long as they made it into the top ten thousand, they would receive at least 500 Source Points as a reward, driving adventurers to fight desperately and turning the Battlefield into a bloody arena.
These Radiation Monsters were all captured Zerg from various locations and placed in a fixed area sealed off by swarms of insects, roughly a one-kilometer square zone.
While the area itself was uniform, the terrain varied greatly, consisting of grasslands, hills, swamps, forests, and more.
Fortunately, participants did not need to enter the battlefield themselves; they only needed to ride Flying Insect Tribes and remotely control their Insect Beasts from several dozen meters above ground.
Otherwise, such harsh geographical conditions would have eliminated over ninety percent of the participants.
After all, the forests and swamps were filled with various poisonous insects and snakes; just one bite could lead to death from venom!
There were even disguised man-eating plants that blended in as ordinary vines, attacking only when someone passed by—making it nearly impossible to evade!
Insect Beasts were completely unafraid of these dangers. They typically possessed hard armor that allowed them to roam freely through jungles, swamps, and grasslands while ruthlessly hunting down Radiation Monsters.
The Preliminary Competition would last for three days. It officially began on the seventh day after its announcement, giving participants ample time for training and coordination so that no one would enter without understanding their Insect Beast's attack patterns—such ignorance would surely lead to elimination.
On the seventh day, the Preliminary Competition commenced. Participants flooded into various Battlefields, with family and friends cheering them on. This event attracted millions of viewers, marking it as a true national spectacle.
The battle scene was viewed through the perspective of the Flying Insect Tribe, utilizing the Spirit Technique to share the fight in real-time on the Projection Bug screens scattered around the Battlefield, allowing ordinary people to witness the thrilling and violent combat.
The Projection Bug was an accidental creation resulting from research on the Memory Stone. It had no offensive capabilities but possessed a large, special keratin plate that could produce images through fluorescence.
As for the picture quality, it was similar to a 40P video on Aqua Star (one tier below standard definition), slightly blurry, but this did not significantly affect ordinary people who were unfamiliar with the concept of "video."
In the Battle Zone located northwest of Source City, two young girls walked into the entrance, followed by two fierce Insect Beasts.
"Yura, do you think we can make it into the top hundred?" Tracy asked, looking at the bustling crowd without a hint of concern on her face.
Only those in the top hundred qualified to enter Source City's Beast Arena for the final competition; prior rounds were all held outside.
"Absolutely! This tournament does not allow Spirit Masters to participate; it's all Source Energy Warriors. I'm confident I’m not weaker than anyone else!" Yura declared confidently, her crimson hair flowing in the wind, her fitted leather armor accentuating her beautiful figure and attracting many gazes.
However, the formidable Crimson Insect Beast behind her commanded respect and prevented anyone from underestimating her.
Tracy cheered her on, "Yes, we can do it! I hope Yura can become the ultimate champion and make a wish to that existence!"
During a previous mission tracking special humanoid creatures, they were among the first to discover those monsters and uploaded their findings to the Magic Web, earning them the highest reward from the Source Lord: a whopping fifty thousand Source Points, equivalent to over ten thousand gold coins!
Unfortunately, a Secondary Source Elixir required one hundred thousand Source Points, which was still far out of reach. With the Beast Fighting Tournament opening, both girls spent over ten thousand Source Points each to purchase two powerful Insect Beasts for competition.
Yura's was a crimson beetle resembling a scorpion, measuring over six meters long and classified as a standard Second-Grade Insect Beast.
Tracy's was an Insect Beast similar to a Cricket, with two sharp pincers at its head.
Both Insect Beasts had wings and could serve as flying mounts, causing envy among many onlookers.
After a while, the battle finally began. As one of the first participants, Yura mounted a Black Flying Insect Beast and remotely guided her Insect Beast into the Battlefield.
This area was hilly, with undulating terrain surrounded by dense bushes and forests.
Originally, this area was cleared of all the Radiation Monsters due to its proximity to Source City. However, now it was swarming with thousands of these creatures, captured by the insects.
Most of them were various herbivorous animals from before, along with many large poisonous insects and snakes. After the entry of the participant Insect Beast, they all launched their attacks.
During the Preliminary Round, participants were not allowed to attack each other; instead, points were calculated based on the number and strength of the Radiation Monsters killed.
Each time, 1,000 participants entered, and after a certain period, every two rounds, the top 100 on the Leaderboard advanced to the next round, eliminating ninety percent in one go!
This point elimination system, combined with the prohibition on mutual attacks, gave ordinary participants a chance to advance. As long as they didn't compete solely on combat strength, they could rely on their intellect to earn points.
After all, the Battlefield was limited in size, and the number of Radiation Monsters was finite. Strength, luck, and terrain were all essential factors.
The battle began instantly; one by one, the Insect Beasts pounced like tigers released from their cages, fiercely attacking the Radiation Monsters.
These Radiation Monsters were not low-level creatures; they charged at the Insect Beasts as if they had gone mad and even coordinated their attacks in teams.
Participants hovered dozens of meters above the ground, remotely controlling their Insect Beasts in battle. After some adjustments, they had gained considerable experience in maneuvering their Insect Beasts to attack or retreat when outnumbered or lying in ambush for unsuspecting prey.
The spectators outside were thrilled; as ordinary people who wouldn’t dare venture into the wild, they could hardly witness such exciting and intense battles!
Among the thousand participants, Yura's Insect Beast performed exceptionally well, displaying an overwhelming dominance as it crushed one Radiation Monster after another. This earned her countless cheers and shouts from the audience!
