The fourth chapter of the Global Human Talent Competition! Chapter 61: Sleeping soundly in the 'storm'!
“Are these two people monsters?”
In the virtual battlefield, many players who were struggling in the surging beast tide smiled bitterly at Chu Zhou and Frederick who were having so much fun.
"The physiques of these two people are really too strong."
Countless viewers watching the live broadcast were also shocked by the performance of Chu Zhou and Frederick.
It is hard to imagine that the human body can be so strong.
Time passes by.
Under the endless attacks of monsters, more and more contestants gradually exhausted all their strength and were eventually torn to pieces by the densely packed monsters.
The day is over.
The entire battlefield turned into a sea of blood and corpses.
Countless monster corpses were piled up layer upon layer.
The blood gathered into long rivers.
The beast tide finally stopped, but there were only 150 players still standing on the battlefield.
About 420 contestants died in the beast tide.
At this moment, whether it was the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the plains, or the monsters, they all slowly disappeared like bubbles.
"Finally I made it through this day."
"Yeah, it was too hard... I almost couldn't bear it."
Many of the surviving contestants breathed a sigh of relief, their faces revealing a look of luck at having survived the disaster.
"boom--"
"boom--"
At this time, two meteorite-like figures fell from the sky, and with a loud bang, they smashed two huge craters on the ground.
Two mushroom clouds rose slowly.
"Huh? How come the beast tide suddenly disappeared, leaving me with nothing?"
Frederick's dissatisfied voice was heard from a sinkhole.
It seemed as if he was complaining that the beast tide had disappeared for too long and he had not yet had enough fun.
"Yeah! This beast tide disappeared at the wrong time. We haven't had enough fun yet!"
Chu Zhou's voice was heard from another tiankeng.
Many players: “…”
Please be a human being!
We finally managed to survive the beast tide, and you guys are actually complaining that the beast tide disappeared too early? How can we save our reputation by doing this?
"These two monsters are so perverted."
Some of the contestants murmured.
The global audience who were watching the live broadcast were speechless when they heard the complaints from Chu Zhou and Frederick.
Chu Zhou and Frederick both flew out of the tiankeng.
They smiled at each other, feeling a sense of mutual understanding.
"Oh no! I was so excited just now that I forgot to count how many monsters I killed." Frederick suddenly said in distress.
"I haven't calculated it either." Chu Zhou said.
"Hahaha, then let's just consider this competition a draw and compete again later, how about that?"
Frederick laughed heartily.
"good!"
Chu Zhou nodded slightly.
"By the way. Chu Zhou, let me remind you one thing. You have to be careful of the other three guys. I believe you know who I'm talking about."
Frederick said suddenly.
"Hmm?" Chu Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Those three guys are more unfathomable than the other, especially Chu Lan. I can't figure this guy out at all. If you face him, you must be careful."
Frederick said seriously.
Chu Zhou was slightly startled. Frederick actually emphasized Chu Lan instead of August and Kasyapa Shuta. This made him pay attention to Chu Lan.
"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention to it," he said.
“Hahaha, don’t take it too seriously. You are still young, at least ten years younger than them. Even if you lose to them this time, you will have plenty of opportunities to catch up…”
Frederick laughed loudly, patted Chu Zhou on the shoulder, and said in a mature manner: "Young man, the present is ours, and the future is yours!"
Chu Zhou rolled his eyes.
"Congratulations to the contestants who are still on the virtual battlefield. You have passed the first round of the finals!"
"Next, the second level will begin."
"In this level, there will be ten pass tokens that will appear among you. You can fight and kill freely, but each person can only hold one pass token at most."
"This match will last for one hour."
"The people who hold ten clearance tokens at the end will become the top ten in the finals. The others will be eliminated."
"The game starts in 30 seconds!"
In the sky, an electronic synthesized sound was heard again.
At the same time, countdown numbers also appeared.
"This level is a battle for clearance tokens? And there are only ten clearance tokens, and the top ten in the finals will be decided directly?"
All the contestants became nervous after hearing the rules of the competition.
Many contestants immediately distanced themselves from other contestants around them and glanced at the people around them vigilantly.
Especially those players who were close to Chu Lan, August, Frederick, and Kasyapa Shuta, they stayed away from them as if they were avoiding the plague.
It was obvious that they knew they were no match for these four men and were prepared to avoid them.
There are also fewer players around Chu Zhou.
But... there were also some individuals who looked at him with ill intentions.
“30!”
“29!”
“28!”
…
The countdown begins.
Soon, the countdown reached 0.
At this moment, ten golden tokens suddenly fell from the sky .
There is no doubt that these ten golden tokens are the pass tokens.
Almost in an instant, all the contestants rushed towards the ten golden tokens at full speed and attacked everyone who rushed in front of them.
Chu Lan's figure was like a ghost. He rushed to a golden token in an instant, put it away with a smile, and became the first person to obtain a clearance token.
He just smiled indifferently at the attacks that were bombarded at him. He waved his hand casually, and a huge amount of energy burst out. With a bang, it seemed to pierce through the sky. All the attacks that were bombarded at him were powerfully destroyed.
The next moment, his figure flashed again and appeared on the plain, with his arms folded across his chest, looking at everyone indifferently.
Seeing that a golden token had fallen into Chu Lan's hands, many people showed reluctance on their faces.
But no one dared to snatch it again.
Just now they wanted to take advantage of their numbers to attack Chu Lan together, hoping to kill Chu Lan.
Now that the plan has failed, they have no chance.
The second person to get the pass token was August. His whole body suddenly burst into infinite light, as if he had turned into a small sun, and a terrible solar storm erupted.
Many people who rushed towards one of the pass tokens were directly killed by the terrifying solar storm.
The pass token also fell steadily into August's hands.
Then, Frederick and Kasyapa Shuta also grabbed a pass token almost at the same time.
"This clearance token is mine."
Chu Zhou's figure was as fast as lightning. He appeared in front of a pass token and reached out to grab the pass token.
However, before he could grab the pass token, several players attacked him.
One of the attacks hit the pass token, sending it flying far away.
Chu Zhou's figure flashed and turned into a series of afterimages. He dodged the attacks that were whistling towards him, and then looked at the three people opposite with a gloomy face.
"You are looking for death!"
He said in a grim tone.
At this moment, he even ignored the pass token that was blown away.
"Hahaha, Chu Zhou, do you think you are Chu Lan, August, Frederick, Kasyapa Shuta and the others? You always ask for our death. Others may be afraid of you, Chu Zhou, but I, Wang Lei, am not afraid of you."
A young man in black with narrow eyes and chains wrapped around his body smiled coldly.
"That's right, Chu Zhou, don't overestimate yourself. How can you be ranked among the 'Top Five in the World'? How can I, Alex, be worse than you?"
The person who said this was a tall young man from the West, with spherical lightning floating around him.
"Some people think they are one of the 'Top Five in the World' because they have entered the 'Top Five in the World'. However, they don't know that someone is blind and randomly ranked them in the 'Top Five in the World'. Without absolutely strong strength, how can you be ranked in the 'Top Five in the World'?"
"Today, I, Simon Grant, will wake someone up and make him face reality."
This was also a Western youth, but his hair was a rare light blue color. His entire figure was erratic, as if he had blended into the wind.
"This... that's 'Ghost Lock' Wang Lei, 'Lightning Son' Alex, and 'Wind Walker' Simon Grans. They are all demons who have been famous for many years. Among the younger generation, their reputation is second only to Chu Lan, August, Frederick, and Kasyapa Xiutuo. Now they are attacking Chu Zhou at the same time?"
"I guess they are all upset that Chu Zhou was listed as one of the 'Top Five in the World'! After all, they are only slightly weaker than Chu Lan and the other four. But their names are not on the list, while the newly rising Chu Zhou's name is... It's normal for them to be jealous of Chu Zhou."
"Chu Zhou is in trouble now... Unless his strength is worthy of the title of 'Top Five in the World'. Otherwise, he may not be able to enter the top ten today and will be eliminated."
Many contestants couldn't help but talk about it when they saw the scene in the sky.
Countless viewers who were watching the live broadcast were also stunned. They did not expect such a sudden change to occur.
"Hahaha, great, Chu Zhou is finally in trouble. 'Ghost Lock' Wang Lei, 'Lightning Son' Alex, 'Wind Walker' Simon Grans, these three young strong men can definitely kill him... If that's the case, he won't be able to make it into the top ten."
"Haha, Chu Zhou is usually too arrogant, and now the retribution has finally come."
"...One of the 'Top Five in the World'? Does Chu Zhou deserve to be called one? Now someone finally dislikes him and wants to wake him up."
The Chu family, Ling family, and Jiang family in Yuehai Base City, as well as the Ernst family and Medici family in the West, have also been paying attention to Chu Zhou.
When they found out that Chu Zhou was making great strides in the 'Global Human Talent Competition', becoming the first in the Yuehai Division, and gradually becoming famous around the world and entering the 'Top Five in the World' list, he also panicked.
What does the 'Top Five in the World' represent?
They understand it best.
This means that there is a high probability that he will become a human martial god in the future.
Chu Zhou actually has a great chance of becoming the human martial god. How can the five major families that have almost formed a mortal feud with Chu Zhou not panic?
In fact, the five major families have been trying every possible means to completely eliminate Chu Zhou, the "disaster" during this period of time.
However, they have all joined forces in the underground world to issue a bounty of 100 billion for Chu Zhou.
Who would have thought that Chu Zhou could still be alive and well until now?
In fact, the strength is getting stronger and stronger.
The five major families had also thought about sending out their kings to completely destroy Chu Zhou.
But before they could take action, they received stern warnings from the Tomahawk Martial Arts School and the Human Alliance.
I had to give up the idea of sending out the king.
The 100 billion bounty is of no use, and the king cannot be dispatched, which leaves the five major families with no way to deal with Chu Zhou.
I can only watch with worry as Chu Zhou continues to make great strides in the 'Global Human Talent Competition'.
Now seeing 'Ghost Lock' Wang Lei, 'Lightning Bolt' Alex, and 'Wind Walker' Simon Grant joining forces to deal with Chu Zhou, the top leaders of the five major families were so excited that they wanted to sing a song.
As long as these three people kill Chu Zhou in the game, Chu Zhou will not be able to enter the top ten.
If Chu Zhou cannot make it into the top ten, he will not receive the generous rewards for the top ten in the 'Global Human Talent Competition', nor will he receive the most core training from the Human Alliance.
In this case, no matter how talented Chu Zhou is, his growth rate will be greatly slowed down.
This also makes it easier for the five major families to plan their subsequent actions against Chu Zhou.
Therefore, the five major families were the happiest when they saw Wang Lei and others taking action against Chu Zhou.
Of course, the top leaders of the five major families did not know that Chu Zhou had already broken through the boundary level.
Otherwise, they won't be able to laugh.
"What a pity... Wang Lei, Alex, and Simon Glantz, they originally had a chance to enter the top ten, but they chose to find this pervert Chu Zhou. As a result, they lost the chance to enter the top ten, and they will definitely regret it afterwards."
Chen Bazhou was also watching the live broadcast.
When he saw Wang Lei and the other two were about to attack Chu Zhou, he shook his head lightly, feeling sorry for them.
As the director of the Tomahawk Martial Arts School, he knew that this time, the Human League's emphasis on the top ten in the finals was completely different from the emphasis on the players outside the top ten, and the subsequent training resources provided were also completely different in magnitude.
If Wang Lei and others lost the opportunity to enter the top ten, it would be an enormous loss.
"Hahaha, these three idiots, don't they know that the boss is already a boundary master? They are actually jealous of the boss being ranked among the 'Top Five in the World' and are attacking the boss... They are courting death!"
Shi Meng watched the scene in the live broadcast and couldn't help but laugh jokingly.
Ling Zhan and Li Qingshi also laughed.
Wang Lei and three others actually went so far as to cause trouble for the captain. They really did not know their place.
In the virtual battlefield.
'Ghost Lock' Wang Lei, 'Lightning Son' Alex, 'Wind Walker' Simon Grans, they each occupied a corner, faintly forming a huge triangle, surrounding Chu Zhou in the center of the triangle.
"Chu Zhou, die!"
'Ghost Chain' Wang Lei took the lead. A strong mental wave suddenly emanated from him, and the chains wrapped around his body immediately awakened like a sleeping python.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Chains, like poisonous snakes, flew towards Chu Zhou one after another, as fast as a phantom. A sharp sonic boom sounded in the void.
"Chu Zhou, accept the judgment of thunder!"
Alex shouted "Lightning Son", and the spherical lightning balls suspended outside his body fiercely bombarded Chu Zhou.
For a moment, there were bursts of thunder and flashes of lightning, and the whole sky seemed to be filled with thunder and lightning.
'Wind Walker' Simon Grans suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. The next moment, his figure suddenly appeared behind Chu Zhou, holding a 100-meter-high blue-black terrifying tornado in one hand, and slammed into Chu Zhou fiercely.
'Wind Walker' Simon Grans was the last to attack, but he was the first to hit Chu Zhou, worthy of the name 'Wind Walker'.
When the terrifying tornado hit Chu Zhou, Chu Zhou's figure was instantly swallowed by the tornado.
Many contestants and countless spectators were deeply shocked by the power of Simon Glantz's attack as they looked at the terrifying tornado that seemed to twist and crush the void.
If such an attack were to land in a city like Jiangcheng, it would definitely destroy half of Jiangcheng’s skyscrapers in an instant.
Soon, poisonous snake-like iron chains that penetrated the void and dense ball-like lightning bolts also bombarded Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou was completely enveloped by tornadoes, chains, and lightning, as if a doomsday disaster had occurred there.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Mingzhu, Yang Zhenzhen and others couldn't help but worry about Chu Zhou.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at Chu Zhou's position.
Because everyone knew that even if Chu Zhou was killed in the virtual battlefield, he would not really die.
Therefore, many people who pay attention to Chu Zhou are not worried about Chu Zhou being killed... They just want to see whether Chu Zhou can create another miracle and whether he can live up to his honor of being one of the "top five in the world".
Soon, everyone saw the results.
Chu Zhou was floating motionless in the original position, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.
Wind blades slashed at him madly, but only produced sparks.
Chains were wrapped around his body, tightening and strangling him madly, but they could not do anything to Chu Zhou. It was as if those chains were wrapped around an ancient sacred mountain and could not strangle him at all.
There were also ball-shaped lightning that kept striking Chu Zhou, accompanied by earth-shaking thunderstorms.
But the terrifying ball lightning seemed to be giving Chu Zhou a bath.
Every time a ball of lightning struck Chu Zhou, it turned into a high-voltage electric current like a rolling tide, flowing down Chu Zhou's body like water.
“This…what is going on?”
"Uh... Chu Zhou... he just fell asleep?"
Looking at Chu Zhou with his eyes closed and breathing evenly, both the players in the virtual battlefield and the global audience watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded.
Wang Lei, Alex and Simon Grant were also dumbfounded.
The corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and their minds seemed to have suffered an unprecedented shock, finding it difficult to accept the scene before them.
