929 Competition Start!

Hong Dali looked at Li Haokong for a while, then looked away. After all, this didn't concern him, he would only decide on what to do after seeing what Li Tianxing had planned.

While he was sitting there leisurely, the other Double Honorary Aristocrats sitting beside and behind him were looking at him with strange-looking eyes. Especially the Red-level Double Honorary Aristocrats sitting behind him, their eyes were practically sparking electricity—as long as they could defeat him, they would be able to replace Hong Dali's position!

Of course, Hong Dali wasn't interested in what others were thinking. He carried down Acka from his head and started playing with the bird…

Very quickly, after everyone was seated, the emcee announced, "Please welcome the two Elders!"

Hearing this, everyone instantly stood up. Hong Dali saw Jiang Dongliu accompanying another old man with white hair and beard walking in. Even the eyebrows of this old man were white, but judging from his spirit and walking posture, he didn't behave like an old man at all.

Since he was able to come in together with Jiang Dongliu, this must naturally be Li Tianxing's grandfather, the legendary strongest king amongst the Five Kings, Li Xuancheng.

A total of six people followed them. Yin Lieyang with Yin Tianzong, Jiang Duxing with Jiang Qianxue, and lastly was Li Hanhong with Li Tianxing.

An advancement assessment in Shenluo City caused as much as eight Galaxy Aristocrats to come, two of them being Elders, one of them was even the strongest person in the Galaxy Aristocrats currently. It looked like this times' advancement assessment would definitely be quite interesting.

"Everyone, sit." Jiang Dongliu raised his hand and pressed down. After everyone was seated, he continued, "I shall make introductions first." He pointed at Li Xuancheng and said, "This one is the strongest person in the current generation of Galaxy Aristocrats, Five Kings.Li Xuancheng. Other than coming over to spar with us today, he came here for another important matter, which is that Mr. Li Xuancheng wants to make a gamble."

Hearing Jiang Dongliu's introduction of Li Xuancheng, the crowd instantly broke into applause. After all, Li Xuancheng came here personally this time. Although his purpose wasn't clear, at least the guest lineup for this time's assessment was extremely powerful.

After the clapping finished, everyone started to become curious about what gamble this Li Xuancheng wanted to make.

"The gamble this time is very simple." Jiang Dongliu started to introduce the gamble to them. "Mr. Li Xuancheng brought along quite a number of people this time, which I believe all of you have seen. Therefore, the content of the gamble is to compete with the results of the two sides. From business to martial arts, an all-round competition. Whichever side the final victor belongs to is the winner side. As for the bet, it's very simple too. The winner side can choose from the loser side one person and bring the person away with them."

Upon hearing this strange gamble, everyone instantly felt puzzled.

The winning side could choose one person? With Li Haokong on their side, who could compete against them? He was one of the top five geniuses in the entire Milky Way!

"Oh oh oh, looks like this Li Xuancheng has an aim in mind." Hong Dali slightly squinted his eyes. "Bringing me away through this method? No wonder they even brought that Li Haokong here, it looks like he really intends to win."

Hong Dali understood their intention now.

First, they pressurized the Elders' Conference, then brought people here to challenge them, then made the gamble. After going through one large circle, their final objective was still himself. Hong Dali laughed and said to himself, "This grandfather is really willing to go to great cost for his grandson."

Seeing that Jiang Dongliu had finished speaking, the emcee instantly shouted, "The advancement assessment for the Honorary Aristocrats shall now start!"

Then, a large golden pyramid-shaped holographic projection appeared in the center of the hall!

At the bottom of the pyramid were red-colored names. Two names made a pair, and this was the same all the way up the pyramid.

The emcee explained, "For this times' duel, the loser will be directly eliminated. Those with one win, stay at the same level. Three wins, advance one time. Five wins, advance two times. After advancing two times, you can challenge an Aristocrat from the next level. The winner shall officially advance to that next level!"

The rules of the game were similar to that of an arena battle, where the winner stayed on and waited for the next challenger. If the participants could win five times, they would be able to challenge the next level Aristocrats. If they won, they would be promoted directly.

This rule was quite interesting. Hong Dali felt that it was much more interesting than the family meeting on Earth. If not, it would be extremely boring to just hear people making reports.

After the emcee announced the competition rules, the advancement assessment officially started.

The competition amongst the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats was the most brutal. All of the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats clenched their fists tightly, sweat covering their faces. This first round of competition was the most tragic one, the losers would directly lose their identity as an Honorary Aristocrat, so it was no wonder that they were so afraid.

"Please let me meet someone weaker, I just have to win one time to preserve this identity!"

"I hope that I won't meet someone too strong. If not… I will lose everything!"

Countless people were secretly praying, and at this moment, the emcee the ordered: "First round of the assessment shall now start!"

The duel started very quickly and also ended very quickly.

After a series of electricity sparks, one name from every pair of names would be dimmed. Instantly, half of the names in the pyramid were dimmed.

Swoosh—

After a large patch of white light flashed past, those Red-level Honorary Aristocrats whose names were dimmed were all directly teleported out!

Those Honorary Aristocrats who were teleported out had their aristocrat status removed!

"What the heck, so terrifying!" Hong Dali felt spooked out. Such a competition was really cruel, wasn't it? After just a series of sparking sounds, the result was already decided just like that?

"Hey, brother." Hong Dali poked the person beside him and softly asked, "What are they competition about for this competition? I don't understand what I am seeing, why are there people who directly lose just like that?"

That person looked at Hong Dali with a sense of looking down on him. The person frowned, but still explained, "Didn't an auditor look for you before you came here? Your various assets have already been tabulated before you came here, what they are competing here is the net profit rate. Everyone's net profit ratio has already been entered into the database, the higher one win and the lower one loses. It's just that simple."

What the heck, so high-end?

Hong Dali looked around, a large part of the people in the Jiang and Yin Family's district had been teleported out. As for Li Tianxing's side, only a small part was teleported out. Just from this alone, it could be seen that the people that Li Tianxing brought here this time were indeed very capable! Jiang Qianxue really didn't lie on this matter.

Of course, Hong Dali finally understood why Ling Xiaoyi asked him not to worry. Yup, it looked like she had already prepared everything.

After this round was over, the remaining people who stayed all cheered loudly and congratulated each other.

"Hahaha, we won, congratulations!"

"This wasn't easy, my heart almost stopped beating just now!"

"Isn't that so, this is really way too thrilling!"

The whole hall was very noisy and chaotic. Jiang Dongliu understood their feelings too, this round was the most feared. Those who remained were naturally the truly elite ones. After waiting for the noise in the hall to subside, Jiang Dongliu smiled and said, "Okay, congratulations to those who remained, all of you all truly elites. I believe that all of you will help to improve our lives."

After saying this, he nodded towards the emcee, who instantly announced: "The second round shall start now!"

Again, another series of sparks flashed and half of the names of the remaining Red-level Honorary Aristocrats dimmed! The winners naturally cheered and the losers' expressions were sad—although they would all preserve their status as Honorary Aristocrats, the treatment for those who won again and those who lose was naturally different.

"Haha, I made it to the third round, I entered the third round! Hahaha!"

"Congrats, you are really strong!"

Very quickly, the third round started, then the fourth, then the fifth, which was also the last round!

This type of competition was indeed much faster than normal ones. After just about half an hour's time, the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats which was the most in normal at the start had only 32 people still remaining!

And these 32 people were the Top 32 Red-level Honorary Aristocrats who would be able to challenge the next level Honorary Aristocrats! They would be able to challenge the Orange-level Honorary Aristocrats for the Orange-level positions next!

Out of these 32 people, as Hong Dali had predicted, at least 22 of them were those people from Li Tianxing's side—because, at the top right corner of their names, there was a small word, Li, there!

"How are we supposed to compete with them?" The Double Honorary Aristocrat who explained the rules to Hong Dali just now was shocked by seeing this. "Out of these 32 people, only 10 of them are from our side, the rest are all from the other side!"

It was no wonder he was so depressed.

They were all facing the same situation. Although he didn't participate in the Eed-level competition, it would be their turn soon. If this continued, they wouldn't stand a chance against the people from the Li Family!

"They came prepared for this time's competition." Hong Dali touched his chin and said, "It looks like this will really be quite difficult to handle."

On the stage at the front, Li Xuancheng stroked his beard in satisfaction. He smiled towards Jiang Dongliu and said, "Dongliu, it looks like the standards of your people are slightly lower. Haha, for this round, I win."

"Bah." Jiang Dongliu's expression was nonchalant. "Your heart isn't on this matter, anyway."

At the side, Jiang Qianxue tightly clenched her fist. These people from the Li Family were each more hateful than the other!

Very quickly, after a short rest, the emcee continued and shouted, "The competition for the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats has ended. Next is the competition for the Orange-level Honorary Aristocrats. For the first round, the winner shall stay the same, while the loser will have to compete for another round. During the second round, the winner shall stay the same, but the loser who lost twice in a row will need to be challenged by the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats. If the challenge fails, the Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat shall stay the same. If the challenge succeeds, which means that the Red-level Honorary Aristocrat won, the Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat will be demoted and the Red-level challenger will be promoted to become an Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat!"
