Chapter 329: Corpse Refinement Faction
The competition venue for the racing project did not change. It was still the same one used for alchemy and weapon forging.
The track was oval like the commercial running tracks.
One lap was exactly one kilometer.
Due to the bends, one’s speed would more or less be affected. This would test the participants’ proficiency in Sword Kinesis Flight.
Pa!
A gunshot rang, and the race began.
"The race has begun. The students on track one and three are the fastest to react. The other students on the track are slightly slower."
The commentator stared at the track, his tone impassioned. He craned his neck and clenched his fists, looking as if he was taking part in the race himself.
"There are still two hundred meters left. Track one and three are shoulder to shoulder. Let’s see who passes the line first!"
"Ah! What? The student on trace ten suddenly accelerated and overtook number one and three, becoming the first to cross the line."
"Results… results 2.87 seconds, successfully advanced."
"Number one and number three are in, and their results are 2.97 seconds. They have also advanced."
"Other students, I’m sorry that you have failed to advance. I hope that you will continue to work hard next year."
A kilometer was too short for an immortal cultivator. It was all within three seconds. With a good start, one had a good chance of advancing.
After all, those who could participate in the competition were all the elites of the various universities.
Perhaps they each had the ability to advance, but because they were too nervous during the competition, they did not perform as well and failed to advance. This was very normal.
After the first race ended, the next race immediately began.
It may seem that the event would take a long time as only 20 people could compete at one time, but that was not the case. It was actually very fast.
A one-kilometer race ended in three seconds.
Including the preparation and other time, it would take at most five minutes—with five minutes per race, the elimination rounds ended in about two days.
The elimination rounds of the alchemy event took several days.
The races were much faster.
Two days later, the elimination rounds of the Qi Refinement group ended.
Out of the five thousand people, only a thousand remained. The elimination rate was quite high.
The group rounds were even more intense because they had all advanced from the elimination rounds. Their capabilities and mentality were not bad.
However, the conditions for the group stages were very cruel. Only those who obtained first place in the group stages could advance.
According to the number of people who had advanced, there were a total of 48 groups, each with 20 people.
In other words, only 48 people would advance to the semifinals.
As a result, this was also a huge test for the participants’ minds.
The semifinals would determine the top 20 from the 48 participants.
Since one-kilometer races were very short, the group matches, semifinals, and finals would all finish in one day.
On this day, there were no empty seats in the audience. There was a sea of people, and there were also many people crowded in the sky.
The competition for the group rounds was very intense. Before each player set off, they kept reminding themselves not to be nervous and kept chanting meditation spells.
