THE START OF THE COMPETITION

Xavier came forward and once again started with his announcement, "This is the portal through which will lead you people to the forest and where you people will go and participate in the competition. And just like in the preliminaries, these portals will lead you to a random locations. As per where exactly you people will be, no one could say."

Xavier continued, "As soon as you people will enter the forest, there is no guarantee for the location where exactly you people will land. You may even split up from your teammates and land in different locations. So it is up to you and your luck whether you could find your teammates in time or not."

As Xavier said this, all the participants remained silent. Every word from Xavier was like an highly explosive device that was making them nervous. If they remained together, then things would never be this complicated. But since they will be separated and they don't know how to regroup with each other exactly, this feeling of pressure was massive.

Xavier said, "Alright! The time is up. Everyone, please enter the forest. The competition now officially begins!"

As soon as the announcement came officially from the Province Lord, all the participants rushed towards the portal. But there were some contestants who were not in any rush. They were just maintaining the wait and see approach.

Arjun was one of them. He was not in any rush. He said mentally to his teammates, "Don't forget that we are still in disadvantage as we left our clones here. That means our power is completely halved. So I have only one suggestion for you all. When you find any contestant, don't try to drag the fight. Try to kill as many people as possible. Try to keep your Essence Gathering System as busy as possible. We are here to raise our strength. So don't forget our priority."

"Got it." ,The other members from the Star Moon Team replied as they rushed through the Portals.

As soon as they enter the portal, they felt as if the matter connection between them is becoming dimmer and dimmer. They don't know the mechanism behind the working principle of the space element. If they knew it, then they will definitely understand what exactly is happening within the portal. This is one of the reason why the space and time element were very tough and pressures at the same time as well.

The mystery of space and time is the 1st to understand. But it was the thing for the future to worry about. As of now, they have the competition to win and make their way into the royal capital. They want to become the champion and strike a mark in the history books of the Empire.

They entered the portal. And the next moment what they understood is that, they were alone within the forest. And as for their location, no one has any idea. So it was time for them to take things seriously.

Arjun looked around. I like the forest in the solar city, the forest here was not that dense. The sunlight was falling on the ground of the forest very easily. And everything is visible extremely clear.

Arjun look at the bracelet that was given to him by the administration just like during the preliminaries. And just like in the preliminaries, this bracelet will display their team's rank. And unlike in the preliminaries, in order to participate on the highest stage, that is, in the Royal Capital, they had to become the champions. And they have no other choice at all.

So it was very important for them to become the champion at all cost. Even the second place will not give them any chance to participate in the competition that will be held in the Royal capital.

As our universe wandering in the forest, he suddenly sensed a group of people looking at him while hiding perfectly. Arjun sensors for naturally very high due to him opening the Mind Palace. And adding his experiences during all his reincarnations, it was very easy for him to pinpoint abnormalities like these.

Arjun was excited. He would have been extremely disappointed if it was one or two people who were after him. But he knew very well that they were not just one or two people, but there were around 300 people who were about to target him.

Arjun smiled. No matter how strict the competition looked from the surface, the dirty politics always happens. And Arjun was pretty sure that that the Raven Sect has used it's position in the Empire and found a way to target the members of the Star Moon team.

There is no need for Arjun to ask whether other members were in the similar situation as him. They were all his life forms. Their entire origin has started with Arjun. So Arjun could use his mental connection to verify his conjecture.

He knew it instantly that the other members of the Star Maa team are in the similar situation as he is in. They were all being targeted bye more than at least hundred people each.

"How long you people are planning to hide there and watch me? Just come out and kill me if you wish to." ,Arjun never liked hide and seek. He was a pretty much straightforward person.

So he immediately asked them to come out and attack him. In his eyes, they were all just a bunch of experience points. They were all just a bunch of stepping stones for him to advance in his cultivation.

The bench of 300 people were startled. They were sure that they had their presence perfectly. And yet, the opponent has easily sensor their presence.

"It doesn't matter. He's just one person. And we have more than 300 people here. We have the absolute number advantage. So we will just kill him and finish our job." ,One of them said.

The other members agreed with that person. After all, they were not just ten or twenty people. Their side has more than three hundred people. So they have number advantage.

"Attack!!!"

One after the other, they all started the march towards Arjun with killing in tents. Arjun simply smiled at their courage. He knew that these people were not even enough for him to use as warm up before the real match.

So he simply narrowed the size. At the same time, some invisible force came out from his eyes and hit them very hard. At that time, something shocking happened.

All the people who were trying to attack Arjun collapsed on the ground instantly. If it wasn't for the confirmation from the President, then no one would have learned that all 300 of them were now a bunch of dead bodies!

As for urgent, he was welcomed with a bunch of system notification.
