NOVPUBIn the final loot drop event, there was a thirty minute time frame to enter a large red circle.
Everyone who wished to contend would have to enter it within the given time frame.
The good thing was that five support shrines were situated on the perimeter of the red circle itself, inadvertently revealing just how large it was.
At the end of the thirty minute mark, another thirty minute timer would begin, which would end at the same time as the tournament's end.
Thirty minutes was all one had, to ensure that they would be the last team standing.
Apart from eliminating students, pushing them out of the circle was also one way to disqualify them from the loot drop event.
Each second the circle would keep getting smaller, which meant you couldn't really hide away.
You would have to show yourself and fight at some point.
The last team standing would get two million points.
If there were more than one team still left, no one would get the points.
Eryndor saw this final rule as a means to instill desperation into the students.
Else the Academy could easily set the rules that the points would be divided amongst the teams still standing at the end of thirty minutes.
The tenth rank had less than two million at this point.
Which meant the winner of this loot drop event would immediately be pushed in top ten ranking if they weren't already in there.
Eryndor and the others didn't join it, but teleported over to spectate the event.
There really wasn't any point of them joining. They were already at the first rank, worst case scenario they would just lose the top spot, which wasn't much really.
Because, since the loot drop event would end at the same time as the tournament, it meant that they wouldn't be able to exchange for good stuff from the Support Shrine either.
When they reached there, with their firm position at the top rank, no one dared to even think of attacking them.
Similar to Team Eryndor, there were a few who wanted to take a look at the fight as well, most of them were those in the top ten.
Since the exchanged items couldn't be taken out after the tournament ended, none of the top teams bothered to buy anything more at this time with their extra points.
A few minutes later after the match began, Eryndor saw Team Yu in their visible range.
There wasn't any surprise, both the teams had already sensed each other but it looked like Team Yu didn't even want to look at them.
Eryndor silently thought.
They must've found out what I did, but I don't really care.
A few minutes later Eryndor sensed Team Bronit.
Feeling that the situation didn't seem right, Eryndor immediately led his team through a detour.
Seeing that Team Eryndor didn't fall for it, Team Bronit blatantly walked over to Team Yu.
Eryndor saw everything through his large range.
By this time, there was a high chance that both of these teams knew what he had done.
Despite knowing his range, they very likely made a trap for him, maybe an attempt to get back at him.
Childish.
Eryndor inwardly commented.
Even if Team Yu, who were relatively closer, had disregarded everything and ran towards them to keep them there, they could easily escape on Edward's treasure.
Even if they didn't escape, Eryndor didn't think they would lose even if they went against two seeded teams alone.
However, he was a cautious guy, so he just took a detour.
He still didn't know if the other teams had been able to find important resource points. If they had, then their advantage would be nullified to a certain degree.
At this point, everyone's stages and realms had increased again after finding two more resource points after the second one they found at the riverbed. Which meant, four in total.
Edward was still at stage nine of Elementalist realm.
Fortunately, he said that the resources were finally enough, but he would rather break through alone in a specialized place after conditioning his body, mind and spirit to be at peak state.
The chaotic environment of the survival tournament was not suitable for this.
Paulina had climbed to stage four of Elementalist realm.
Drakarion had climbed to stage one of Silver Warrior realm, barely breaking through.
As mentioned before, the Martial Art power system consumed a lot of resources, especially while breaking though.
Valentina broke through to stage five of Beast Keeper realm. As for her real level? Eryndor didn't know.
Syndra was at stage three of Qi Condensation realm.
Despite being one of the earliest to break through to level two, her stage was lower than others because she practiced the cultivation power system.
Unlike the Qi Gathering realm, the Qi Condensation realm wasn't simply about increasing the total amount of Qi.
The gap between stage four and stage three was larger than even stage four and five in the Qi Condensation realm.
The gap between stage three and stage four, stage six and stage seven, were large gaps of Qi Condensation realm.
Lastly, the cultivation power system might be easy to get started with and also have the lowest requirement on resources, but it also took a lot of time during breakthroughs.
Eryndor was at stage one of the Qi Condensation realm.
He had already broken through to this realm after consuming the first batch of resources, so why was he still at the same stage despite getting three more batches?
Because he was no longer focusing on it.
His mentalist power system was at stage nine of the first level, which was called Primind realm.
It was only due to the existence of a large amount of resources that he was able to push through so many stages in a short time.
His control over the Spiritual energy helped a lot as well, as without it, it would be countless times more difficult and slower.
As Eryndor watched the proceedings of the last loot drop event, his mind drifted back to how they would be leaving the secret realm soon.
I feel a bit afraid.
