Chapter 168: The Tournament Begins

A hush fell over the crowd. The sight of a famed genius getting killed directly in front of them was astonishing. Other participants who had been planning to do something similar to make their way directly towards the stage had to change their plans, doing all they could to move quickly without harming the crowd members. Soon enough time was up and three of the most arrogant geniuses werent able to make it onto the stage in time. The Trial Master glared at them, daring them to break the rules like that other genius. They wanted to start yelling, but with that freshly killed genius as an example they could only clench their fists and stare. Of course, there was an exception to this newly established obedience.

How dare you!

An older looking gentleman with a bald head stood up from a spot in the stands and unleashed his aura, pressuring those in the stands around him. He stared at the Trial Master, clearly fuming with anger. A dozen others sitting around him also rose to their feet in a show of support, each of them starting to roll up the sleeves of their long robes. Outside of those dozen people, the others in the stand didnt seem to be frozen or frightened by the old mans aura, instead they started to spread out, clearing a space around the group that was standing. At other places in the stands people started to whisper to each other.

Whats going on?

They are probably related to that dead genius and dont know about the Trial Master.

The old man started roaring expletives at the Trial Master and demanding an explanation for the murder of his grandson. Hearing this, many in the crowd shook their heads. Sad for the mans loss, but also pitying the old man as they had a good idea what would happen if he pushed things any further.

You know this Trial Master? Who is he?

Unexpectedly, the city guards completely ignored the Trial Master. Instead they quickly moved into the stadium seats and collected the bodies, and possessions, of the thirteen that were slain by the Trial Master. They also moved to clean up the body of the dead genius, and his possessions, as well as the unfortunate spectators that had been slain by him.

After this lengthy disruption, the Trial Master was eager to get things started. He ignored the guards and the murmuring in the crowd. He turned his hand over and this time there was a large mirror upon it. The mirror was shaped like a turtle shell, with many hexagonal mirrors linked together into the shell shape. There was a bright flash of light, after which each of the participants was holding a small token in their hands.

You shall all enter my Constellation Shell Mirror. The first stage is a survival tournament. Right before you are defeated the token shall bring you back out of the Constellation Shell Mirror. The first round ends when there are only one hundred participants remaining within the Constellation Shell Mirror.

Without any further ado, the Trial Master set the mirror covered shell onto the ground. In front of the shell, the air seemed to flicker before a circular portal formed. Or at least thats what it looked like. It was a large disc ten feet tall swirling with purple and blue around the edges, but with a deep black hole in the center. He beckoned towards the geniuses on the stage. The majority of the geniuses froze in place, not expecting to meet such a violent first test. A burly bald man with no sleeves and an armored breastplate was the first to break from the crowd and immediately leap into the waiting portal.

Song Lu Tian! Many in the crowd recognized his unique appearance. Not wanting to be left behind, the other geniuses on the stage started to file into the portal rapidly. Soon enough all of them had entered and the stage was empty. The portal swirled rapidly, closing in less than a second.

Is that it? Do we not get to see the first round?

Wait for it.
