Chapter 120: Players who fail to complete the task within the specified time, unfortunately, you wil
The atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense and intense, like a war that was burning to a white-hot level, blazing, hot and violent.
"This competition is too cruel. Only 3000 people can stay, which is a one-third ratio!" Someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed, his voice full of shock and uneasiness, as if this cruel elimination rate was an invisible yoke that made everyone breathless.
A student with B-level mental power clenched his teeth tightly, veins popped on his forehead, and all the strength in his body was gathered in his mental power, and he tried his best to devote his mental power to the task. However, due to excessive force, his mental power was instantly out of control, and those tiny nanoparticles flew everywhere like wild horses.
His face turned pale as paper in an instant, his eyes were full of regret and unwillingness, and he muttered to himself: "How could this happen, it was just a little bit!" The desperate look was as if the world was collapsing before his eyes.
……
Another student with A-level mental power has always been the focus of everyone's attention, carrying countless expectations. But perhaps because he was too nervous, when operating the complex encryption program, a subtle but fatal error quietly appeared, causing the system to ruthlessly determine failure.
He stood there blankly, his hands hanging limply, his face full of disbelief and deep loss, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, leaving only an empty shell.
……
While one female student was moving the nanoparticles, her body began to shake due to excessive consumption of mental energy.
Her eyes gradually lost focus, her steps became weak, and she finally collapsed to the ground. Medical staff quickly rushed into the field and carefully took her away from the field. Their hurried figures were particularly eye-catching in the tense atmosphere.
……
At this time, Zhang Kuang, Zhang Meng, Chu Feng, Zhao Yan and Cheng Yi were still stubbornly persisting in this cruel arena.
Zhang Kuang, a B-level mental power, had his forehead covered in sweat, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept flowing down his cheeks like rushing streams.
But his eyes became more and more determined, like a burning flame, hot and persistent, and his movements did not slow down at all. Every subtle movement was full of strength and determination.
Zhang Meng, who had C-level mental power, began breathing rapidly and heavily, and every breath was like pulling a bellows with difficulty.
But the movements of his hands in cracking the encryption program were still precise and accurate, like an experienced craftsman carefully carving a precious work of art.
Chu Feng, who had a B-level mental power, still maintained his aloof appearance, like an iceberg, making him hard to understand. But his slightly trembling fingers still revealed his inner nervousness, a hint of uneasiness hidden under his strong appearance.
Zhao Yan, who had C-level spiritual power, seemed to be reaching his physical limit. His body was trembling slightly, as if a breeze could blow him down. But he relied on his tenacious will and continued to grit his teeth and hold on. His clenched teeth seemed to be a symbol of his unyielding spirit.
Cheng Yi, who had C-level mental power, had a face as red as a ripe apple. The output of mental power made him feel a little overwhelmed. Every attempt was like crossing an insurmountable gap, but he still did not give up, with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.
Su Nian and Ye Yao were in the audience, their hearts in their throats, as if they were going to jump out of their throats in the next second.
"The battle is too intense. I feel like my heart is going to jump out!" Ye Yao clenched her fists tightly and said in a trembling voice. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and her eyes were full of tension and worry.
Su Nian stared at the competition venue intently, her brows furrowed like two deep ravines: "Yes, I really hope they can all pass the preliminary round smoothly." Her hands were twisted together unconsciously, and her joints turned white due to the force.
As time went by, Chu Feng was the first to complete all the tasks, and a clear prompt sound came from the system:
"Congratulations to Chu Feng, a B-level spiritual power student in the Materials Department, for successfully passing the preliminary round!"
He breathed a sigh of relief expressionlessly, his slightly relaxed shoulders showing a hint of relief in his heart, and he turned around and left the arena without hesitation.
"Congratulations to Zhang Kuang, a B-level spiritual power student in the Materials Department, for successfully passing the preliminary round."
After a while, Zhang Kuang also completed it successfully. He waved his fist excitedly, and the powerful movement seemed to announce his victory to the world, and then he strode out.
At this moment, the game time was about to end, and the players on the field were making their final sprint. Time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed extremely long.
At this time, on the big screen above the stadium, the number of people passing continued to increase: 2200, 2300, 2400...
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, as if one could hear everyone's rapid heartbeats. Those heartbeats were like dense drum beats, beating on everyone's nerves.
Zhang Meng, Cheng Yi and Zhao Yan were still struggling in the arena. Sweat was pouring down Zhang Meng's forehead, and the beads of sweat seemed to be medals of his hard work.
With a hint of anxiety in his eyes, he kept adjusting the output of his mental power, trying to speed up. Every adjustment was like groping for light in the darkness.
Cheng Yi's face was as pale as paper, and his hands were shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was no longer able to do it. Those shaking hands seemed to tell of his fatigue and helplessness.
The numbers on the big screen continued to jump: 2580, 2650...
Zhao Yan gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead as he made his final sprint. Every effort seemed to exhaust all his strength. At the moment when the countdown was about to end, the system finally sent a message:
"Congratulations to Zhao Yan, a C-level spiritual power student in the Materials Department, for successfully passing the preliminary round!"
He let out a long sigh, and his relaxed expression seemed like the calm after a storm, and left the stadium tiredly.
"3000!"
"Dear contestants and audience friends, after intense competition, the 3,000 contestants who advanced to the preliminary round have all been decided. Congratulations to the contestants who have successfully advanced. You have demonstrated outstanding mental control abilities. As for the rest of the contestants who failed to complete the task within the specified time, unfortunately, you will be eliminated. Please cheer up, continue to work hard to improve yourself, and look forward to seeing even more wonderful performances from you in future competitions." The voice on the broadcast was solemn and heavy, echoing over the stadium.
Cheng Yi and Zhang Meng failed to complete the task at the last minute and were ruthlessly eliminated. They walked out of the arena dejectedly, their eyes full of disappointment, their dim eyes like stars that had lost their brilliance.
Su Nian and Ye Yao were in the audience, feeling mixed emotions. They were happy for the students who passed, but also felt sorry for the students who were eliminated.
"Alas, it's such a pity for Cheng Yi and Zhang Meng." Su Nian sighed, and the sigh was full of helplessness and sympathy.
Ye Yao nodded helplessly: "But it's good that Chu Feng and the others passed. The upcoming semi-finals will definitely be more difficult." There was both worry about the future and a hint of expectation in her eyes.
At this time, the preliminary round is over, and the contestants who passed are beginning to prepare for the more difficult challenge of the semi-finals. The unknown road is full of thorns and bumps, but there is a determination shining in their eyes.
