Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 557 Fighting
These past few days have been filled with fighting and fleeing, and he hasn't even dared to sleep. Chen Junhao is exhausted, but instead of going to rest immediately, he chats with his teammates to learn about what has happened at the base these past few days.

Just as they were chatting, a commotion arose in the distance, and people kept running forward, seemingly to see what was going on. However, due to the distance and the obstruction of the crowd, they could not see clearly what was happening.

"What happened there?" Chen Junhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

To the west, about 500 or 600 meters away, people were constantly gathering together, a large crowd, mostly foreigners.

It looks like they're fighting?

The only thing that could pique the curiosity of these powerful individuals was combat.

"It must be a battle; quite a few people have been eliminated these past few days," Sha Yuda said.

"disuse?"

Chen Junhao frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.

There's no need to explain why they fought.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This is especially true for cultivators.

Top experts from all over the world, below the level of kings, have gathered together. With no external threats for the time being, they are facing the opportunity to become king. Beneath the seemingly harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, there are definitely undercurrents.

After all, this is an elimination tournament.

Only those who remain can become kings and obtain rare resources.

The fewer people there are, the greater the hope.

The reasons for the fighting need no further explanation.

A single glance or a gait that displeases someone can ignite a fight, not to mention those who already have a grudge.

But the King's Plan hasn't officially started yet, so how could anyone be eliminated?

"What do you mean? Speak completely."

Zhao Zhou also asked, his tone somewhat displeased.

He hates it when people only say half of what they mean.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Sha Yuda didn't dare to waste any words and quickly explained, "It's just two groups of people fighting. If someone dies or is seriously injured, then they're eliminated. In the past few days, 21 people have already been eliminated."

"Isn't the government doing anything about it?" Chen Junhao asked.

There is no lower limit or upper limit to the number of trainees in the King's Cultivation Program; they are awarded based on contribution points.

It has no direct relation to the strength or weakness of a country.

The more resources you provide and the greater your contribution, the more slots you will receive.

The contributions here vary; they could be those of emperors, that is, teachers, or those who provide special venues, or even the evolutionary paths of demons.

A large country has at least forty slots, a medium-sized country has about ten, and small countries have only a handful, some even as few as one.

For small countries, a single spot for a trainee might be something that requires the combined resources of the entire nation to secure.

It's not just about the chance to become king; it's about the hope for the future of a nation.

It is the hope for millions of people to survive.

Many small countries don't even have a king.

The significance of a ruler to a small country is entirely different from that to a large country.

For some small countries, it is certainly unacceptable to spend a lot of resources to obtain a spot, only to be easily eliminated.

For participants from small countries, going through layers of competition, going through countless hardships to obtain a spot, risking their lives to enter the Land of Fallen Gods, and then being eliminated just like that is truly too cruel.

For some large countries, with their participants, students, and assistants numbering two or three hundred, eliminating participants from smaller countries is incredibly easy.

This is fundamentally an unequal contest.

"If there were regulations, who would dare to take action! It's because of the authorities' leniency that so many people have been eliminated. After all, the King's Plan is an elimination tournament! There's not much difference between being eliminated now and being eliminated later."

Of course, participants from large countries can only attack other participants from large countries, and participants from small countries can only attack other participants from small countries. Large countries are not allowed to target small countries. The two sides in the conflicts that have occurred these days are either hostile countries or individuals with pre-existing grudges who clashed prematurely upon encountering each other.

Sha Yuda said with a smile, "Actually, they are all small-scale conflicts. Seven out of ten are one-on-one duels, and three are team battles with about seven people each. No one will have more than ten people. It's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. No one dares to engage in large-scale battles, after all, no one wants to benefit others."

"The more people eliminated, the better."

Chen Junhao said with a smile. Eliminating one more person means one less competitor, which is obviously beneficial to them.

Have we had conflicts with people from other countries?

Xie Yixiao asked.

"Of course there are, but they are more restrained."

Sha Yuda glanced at Xie Yixiao. Compared to Chen Junhao and Zhao Zhou, his attitude towards Xie Yixiao, who was just a helper, was rather cold. However, he still gave him face and said:

"There have been five battles in the past two days. Three of them were with Japan, where we eliminated three people and they eliminated five. One battle was with the United States, where we each eliminated one person. The last one was an internal battle among our own people, where we eliminated one person."

"Who's fighting each other? We're all on the same side. Shouldn't we be united against a common enemy right now?"

Zhao Zhou asked with some curiosity.

"Fu Wenlin and Xu Rongguang, Fu Wenlin was knocked down and had no chance to fight back. He was seriously injured and it will probably take him a long time to recover. Since it's an elimination tournament, unless you're teammates or allies, you're all competitors. There's no such thing as 'one of us'."

Sha Yuda looked in Xu Rongguang's direction.

Xu Rongguang was not far away, with two people behind him, his helpers, both of whom were experts who had been eliminated due to bad luck in the "Most Valuable" competition.

His two henchmen were no less capable than him, and perhaps even stronger.

Although Xu Rongguang is very strong, he did not have much contact with the other contestants.

"How dare Fu Wenlin make a move?"

Zhao Zhou exclaimed in surprise.

It should be noted that Xu Rongguang has refined the Golden Crow of the Earth Ranking, has already condensed the rudimentary form of his life soul, and has reached the strength of a half-step Spirit King, someone who can step into the King Realm at any time.

It's fair to say that even the most skilled players are no match for him.

Don't mess with him, no matter who you are!

He had watched the entire battle between Xu Rongguang and Bu Yuanlong. Although Bu Yuanlong won in the end, it was clear that Xu Rongguang had held back and had not shown his full strength.

Among the students in China, there are nine people who are generally considered to be untouchable, and Xu Rongguang is one of them.

Even he wouldn't want to provoke such a ruthless character easily.

"I do not know."

Sha Yuda shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

It's human nature to watch the fun.

Although they were curious, Chen Junhao and his group did not join in the fun.

There are invisible boundaries between countries, and to avoid conflict, one should not easily cross the borders of other countries.

Some conflicts arise because participants are just idly wandering around.

The battle lasted only five or six minutes before it ended. Once the healers entered the battlefield, news of the battle quickly spread.

The two sides in this battle are Japan and Korea.

The cause of the battle is unknown, but these two countries were originally enemies, and they have long harbored hatred and dislike for each other, so a battle is quite normal.

Three battles had already broken out before this.

Sometimes they can start fighting during meals.

This time, both sides fought in a five-player team battle format.

Japan won the battle, with one death and one serious injury. West Korea suffered two deaths and one serious injury.

Needless to say, the dead were simply covered with a white sheet and carried out, so nothing could be seen.

The two seriously injured men looked miserable; one was covered in blood and his face was unrecognizable, while the other looked a little better, but his arm was twisted like a pretzel.

Even with treatment from a highly skilled therapist, it's likely that recovery won't be possible in a short period of time.

In other words, this conflict eliminated five people ahead of schedule.

Although the battle was over, the atmosphere remained tense.

People from both countries gathered together, glaring at each other with hostility. Many started arguing and shoving each other. If they hadn't been mindful of their surroundings, they might have come to blows.
