If, by some chance, I successfully contract it, Tanzania shall not, by any reason or means, make things difficult for me, harm me, or imprison me.”
Mingxi liked to plan three steps ahead for every step she took.
Did she not know that killing an opponent's pet beast in a competition would cause panic among contestants from other countries?
Of course, she knew.
She had anticipated all these changes, including the Team Leaders from various countries making trouble for the event organizing committee and threatening to withdraw from the competition.
It was true that she wanted to kill the Mud Slug, and it was also true that she wanted to ruin Dean Ackerman.
But it was also true that she coveted the Tanzan spiritual artifact, the star god scepter.
“What?!”
The person in charge never expected her to make such a request.
This was too...
He didn't know whether to call this Xiao Guniang's idea a flight of fancy or an act of audacious courage?
Mingxi seemed not to notice his fluctuating expression, stood up, and said, “You can discuss my proposal with the other representative teams; just give me an answer before the group stage begins.”
As for how they should approach the Tanzan Royal Family with this matter? What kind of price would they have to pay?
That had nothing to do with her; she only needed to know the result.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Mingxi politely bowed to the person in charge and left the office.
The person in charge was left in disarray, scratching his scalp.
“How do we handle this? Should we really go to the Tanzan Royal Family?”
“No, no, I can’t handle this alone. Mingxi is right; I should discuss it with the other representative teams.”
“Also, Mingxi’s situation must absolutely not happen again. The Blue Sun Cup has already seen deaths; this is too... The alliance must be reported to modify the rules for the next Blue Sun Cup, otherwise, this competition cannot continue.”
Mingxi, of course, didn't know that because of her, in the future Blue Sun Cup, in addition to restricting the age of contestants, there would be another restriction.
That is, the highest level of participating contestants must not exceed C-rank.
Originally, given Mingxi's age, she could have participated in another Blue Sun Cup five years later.
But after the rule change, she no longer met the criteria and could not compete again.
When Mingxi returned to the lounge, she immediately received a flurry of enthusiastic compliments.
They praised her to the skies!
“Hehe, it’s just so-so, but you guys might be targeted next.”
Mingxi wasn't worried that her actions would cause the other members of the Dragonflower Country representative team to encounter similar situations.
Without strength exceeding Golden Yuanbao, and without Earth-tier skills at the 'as desired' proficiency level, it {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} would be absolutely impossible to successfully kill an Advanced Level pet beast.
The former is impossible because, in this session, apart from her, the highest level of contestants is C-rank, and pet beast levels are restricted to Shi-level mid-stage.
The latter is also impossible; while strength can be forcibly boosted with natural treasures, potions, and items, skill proficiency, apart from time and a large accumulation of Skill Stones, has almost no other method.
Do you believe that even Chu Kuangsheng's Litrubang hasn't mastered many skills at the 'as desired' proficiency level, let alone Earth-tier skills?
Beast Tamers in the 20-year-old age group are naturally even less likely.
So Mingxi wasn't worried that Dean's tragedy would befall her teammates.
However, becoming a target of everyone was still very likely.
“We and the contestants from other countries are already opponents. Even without what you did today, those who would target us would still target us, so you don’t need to worry.”
Lu Yun Shen's tone was very casual.
The others agreed profoundly.
“Yun Shen is right.”
Xu Jiu smiled and said, “I don’t think this is necessarily true. Some people will definitely be very afraid of being matched with you, and perhaps they will even go easy on us because of it.”
Xu Jiu wasn't the only one who thought this way.
Of course, the few who had objections dared not voice them at this moment.
The first round of elimination matches lasted over 4 hours before concluding.
Perhaps Mingxi's ruthless methods truly deterred contestants from other countries, as the Dragonflower Country representative team's performance in the first round was excellent.
Only Xia Zhizhi was unlucky, encountering Mario, the second strongest in Xiao Li Country, and was unfortunately eliminated.
However, there was still tomorrow's resurrection match, so she wasn't entirely without a chance to enter the group stage.
The second round of elimination matches began.
63 people could not be matched in pairs, so one lucky person would have a bye in this round.
This bye contestant should have been chosen by drawing lots, but this time the organizing committee directly announced Mingxi had a bye.
No one had any objections to the organizing committee's decision; the contestants, on the contrary, breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The organizing committee is the greatest.
They finally didn't have to pray to gods and Buddhas, begging not to encounter that deadly ancestor.
Without a match, Mingxi was naturally happy to be at leisure, dedicating all her energy to observing other contestants.
In fact, Mingxi had long noticed that even without her, the overall strength of the contestants in this Blue Sun Cup significantly surpassed previous editions.
This session actually saw 2 C-rank and 3 pseudo C-rank Beast Tamers (with four pet beasts but not yet having cleared the Limit Tower).
This was equivalent to 5 C-rank Beast Tamers. freewebnøvel.com
In previous editions, having one or two was considered good.
“Don’t pay too much attention to them. Besides Tepura Durgell from Xiao Li Country and the Ninth Prince from Tanzania, the remaining 3 were forcibly elevated with resources; their foundations are unstable, and their talents are exhausted. Dragonflower Country disdains such geniuses.”
“In terms of talent and future potential, Lu Yun Shen and Jia Xiaoxiao are much stronger than them.”
Yuan Hu, sitting beside Mingxi, suddenly spoke.
Mingxi nodded.
She had actually noticed it too.
However, she didn't relax her vigilance because of this; instead, she paid even more attention to these three.
Because often, people whose prospects are mostly ruined are the most terrifying, after all, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes.
One must be on guard.
The second round of elimination matches concluded smoothly.
Dragonflower Country representative team's Yue Zhiguang, He Changming, Zhou Fang, Wu Cai, and Lin Lucheng were defeated one after another and entered tomorrow's resurrection match with Xia Zhizhi.
He Changming was quite special; he was miserably matched with Jia Xiaoxiao.
The two chose not to engage in internal conflict; He Changming directly raised a white flag and surrendered. He had lost all ten practice matches against her, so he didn't waste time exposing all his strength. freēwēbnovel.com
The remaining 6 people directly entered the group stage the day after tomorrow!
This result cannot be said to be the best, but it was only slightly inferior to Xiao Li Country's 7 people.
If one considers that Xiao Li Country's total number of contestants was 4 more than Dragonflower Country, then Dragonflower Country's results were actually the best.
The first day of the Blue Sun Cup ended in excitement, amazement, and chaos.
Mingxi, with her eight contract slots, six awakenings, and a series of feats like instantly killing the Mud Slug and causing Dean Ackerman to suffer a backlash and become an idiot during the match, once again became famous throughout Blue Star!
Moreover, due to the scale and reputation of the Blue Sun Cup, many people on other planets were also following the event.
...
Far away on Luta Star, at the Yushou Center Alliance Headquarters, in the Forbidden Prison.
In a spacious and comfortable solitary confinement room, an old man with white hair but tight, smooth, and very elastic skin was lying on a rocking chair, engrossed in a somewhat yellow magazine.
