Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 611 - 354: Auditions Begin, Ye Rou Advances_1

After conversing briefly with Gu Ao Duo, Ye Feng immediately began his breakthrough.

In the next hour or so, Ye Feng completed his breakthrough and the refinement of his body.

Thank goodness for the breakthrough at the Land of Inheritance, which enabled a threefold increase in speed; otherwise, the breakthrough alone would have taken four hours, leaving no time for cultivation.

Once the breakthrough was complete, Ye Feng clenched his fists, feeling his own condition before heading straight to the Canyon Arena.

Upon arriving, Ye Feng chose to battle against ten Metal Puppets.

However, before he began, Gu Ao Duo stopped him.

"Wait!" Gu Ao Duo said, "Go for fifty at once! And remember not to damage the Formation inside; you already broke five Metal Puppets yesterday, and those things are not cheap."

Hearing this, Ye Feng looked slightly bemused, "How come I recall you saying that you could make as many Metal Puppets and Rock Puppets as you wanted?"

Gu Ao Duo suddenly felt his face heating up, and after hemming and hawing for a moment, he said, "I admit, I spoke too loudly before."

"Now that the Heavenly Court lacks a Puppet Master, I can only slowly manufacture them using some methods left from the past. The production is quite limited; we can churn out at most ten Metal Puppets a day. If you fight without restraint now, I definitely can’t keep up with the supply."

Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully after listening, "Alright! If that’s the case, I’ll try to control myself."

In the following combat, Ye Feng indeed restrained himself a lot. When attacking the Metal Puppets, he tried his best to avoid damaging their internal Formation structures so that the Puppets could retain their ability to recover continuously.

The night passed quickly, and Ye Feng had thoroughly familiarized himself with the significantly improved quality of his body.

The next day.

Ye Feng was transported back home, and Ye Rou was the first to pounce on him, "Big brother, I’ve learned to use the Ice Whip you taught me. Look."

As she spoke, with a wave of her little hand, highly concentrated cold air began to emanate from her palm.

Ye Feng stretched out his hand to touch the cold air, and after assessing its power, he nodded in approval.

"Not bad! With the Ice Whip and the Ice Crystal Armor, you shouldn’t have any problems getting through the preliminary selection."

First praising her, Ye Feng then changed the topic, "However, your Ice Whip is still at the initial stage of use and has a lot of room for improvement. After the competition ends today, I will continue to guide you."

"Yes!" Ye Rou nodded obediently, looking quite content. In fact, she was already satisfied with just participating in the preliminary selection, and winning each battle represented progress for her.

Quickly the family finished breakfast and got into the limousine sent by Chen Dalong, heading toward Yang City Square.

By this time, Yang City Square had undergone reconstruction over the past few days and was divided into twenty Martial Training Grounds of various sizes.

The preliminary selection competition was to take place here.

However, Ye Feng felt that with only twenty Martial Training Grounds, the number seemed a bit insufficient.

Given Yang City’s massive population, even after the initial selection, more than ten thousand people had qualified for the preliminary competition.

With ten thousand participants and only twenty Martial Training Grounds, it meant that on average, each ground needed to support the combat of five hundred contestants, which seemed like an immense strain on the facilities.

Of course, Ye Feng also understood that such logistical concerns were not his to ponder.

Soon he passed through a special staff entrance and arrived in the midst of the square.

At this moment, there were spectator stands on both sides of the square, but a large section had been temporarily designated as a seating area for the contestants.

There were simply too many contestants to accommodate them all backstage.

Nevertheless, these details didn’t matter much to Ye Feng. Under Chen Dalong’s guidance, he and his family entered a VIP box.

"Didn’t they say the competition starts at 9 a.m.? It’s already 8 a.m., why haven’t they announced the competition procedure yet?" Ye Xiangfeng, refreshing the official website, said impatiently.

"It should be announced soon. Plus, the procedure is quite straightforward: opponents are randomly selected, and on the first day, 50% of the contestants will be eliminated," Ye Feng said from the side, as he’d already learned about the competition rules beforehand.

"That drastic? To eliminate so many people in one day?" Wang Shuwen exclaimed with a look of surprise.

"It’s inevitable! There are only 15 days for the preliminary selection, and only ten people from each Big Realm will be selected to go to the capital for the final competition. That means, from the First Order to the Sixth Order, a total of just sixty people will be chosen," Ye Feng explained.

"To carry out such a rigorous selection, the initial eliminations are bound to be intense."

"Ah! Only ten people for each rank? Our Yang City is now a first-tier city, and we only have so few slots?" Ye Xiangfeng became a bit unsettled as he glanced at Ye Rou beside him.

"We’re actually one of the cities with more slots; second-tier cities have only five slots per rank, and third-tier cities just two," Ye Feng said.

As for the fourth and fifth-tier cities, he didn’t mention them, because their quotas had already been merged with other cities.

Ye Xiangfeng and Wang Shuwen fell silent. Until now, they harbored some hope because Ye Feng had been giving Ye Rou special training every day. But now, that glimmer of hope was being quashed significantly.
