"The first elimination round has now ended!"
That was the message relayed by a massive sounding voice that was heard in outer space and the ten forbidden zones.
Wang Teng was stunned. He was absent minded for a moment before it clicked… the match was over!
He stopped and showed a bitter smile. Even at that stage, he was still overtaken by an intense desire to win.
His mindset wasn't good enough!
He waved a hand and the Netherworld Domain disappeared.
Wang Teng looked at the Crown Prince, who was also looking back at him. Their gazes met while still in the underwater trench.
The young hero's gaze was again calm. No one knew how crazy and unrestrained he had been just then.
Beams of light descended and all the candidates left the Battle Planet.
The two genius favorites were bathed by the light and were removed from the Giant Volcanic Jellyfishes' siege.
The jellyfish were confused. Then, they bellowed in anger, but were unable to find the two fiends who had killed numerous members of their tribe.
However, they gradually dove back to the depths of the sea, leaving no traces of the intense battle.
Ring 1's candidate waiting area—
Countless figures returned to the rings after the first elimination round ended. Some were injured, but they made it back and achieved good results, unlike those who would forever be buried in the forbidden zones.
Everyone wore different expressions. Some were happy, while others looked dejected…
Wang Teng and the Crown Prince appeared simultaneously, attracting everyone's attention.
Their gazes went past the Crown Prince and locked onto the military hero with conflicted looks.
Wang Teng was stunned. Why are they looking at me like this?
He was puzzled for a moment, but he quickly reacted and glanced at the ranking on Zone 1's stone plate.
His name was displayed right next to the no.1 rank!
The Crown Prince had gone down to no.2.

It was a close win!
The young hero had beaten the prince by a very small margin.
"I won!" Wang Teng mumbled while shaking his head. He wasn't feeling too happy for some reason. He was extremely composed at the moment.
His emotions were sublimated after recovering from the crazy slaughtering. He had entered sage mode and was incredibly calm.
No matter his great achievement!
He felt that there was nothing special or anything worth being excited over.
Still, that didn't mean that others wouldn't feel excited for his sake.
After a moment of confusion, the live chat platform became flooded with comments.
"He… won?!"
"Wang Teng is no.1!"
"No.1!!!"
"He won! He surpassed the Crown Prince!"
"Quick, slap me. Tell me I'm not dreaming."
"Hmph, it's too early to be happy. This is just the first round; the real show is the arena battle. We don't know who the ultimate winner is going to be."
"Don't be jealous. He won, and that's a fact. You can't change it."
"Look at the ranking. He's number one in five different zones. Who can compete with that? Not even the Crown Prince can."
"First place in five zones? That's never happened before!"
"Amazing, Wang Teng isn't human!"
…
On the military's battle fortress—the three eternal stage warriors exchanged glances and smiled.

Powerhouses like them would seldom get excited. However, they felt overjoyed when Wang Teng surpassed the Crown Prince.
He had a good chance in the next round.
The military made the right bet!
On the imperial family's spacecraft—the middle aged fellow from the imperial family shook his head. What a pity. It was only a slight difference.
However, he wasn't surprised to see the young hero win. This young man is a bit unique.
"The Crown Prince lost!" The elder behind him widened his eyes in disbelief.
The latter had always felt that their prince was unmatched, not once expecting a martial warrior from a backwater planet to outperform him.
Even if it was just the first round of the competition, he couldn't accept it.
On the Parkers' spacecraft—Furious Flaming Universe Lord and the others looked grim. Wang Teng survived the monster siege, even snatching first place from the Crown Prince. This made them feel worse.
The more you don't want something to happen, the higher chances for it to happen.
Was Wang Teng sent to restrain our family?
On planet Yuming—Wu Xingyun, Old Han, and the others relaxed. They were elated.
"Hahaha, we won!" Old Han laughed.
"Good job. Wang Teng claimed glory to our planet." Commander Hong was full of smiles.
"It's too early to say. The real glory will come if he enters the top ten, or even first place in the next round," Old Han said.
"Wang Teng is making progress far too quickly. I didn't think that he'd be able to compete with the Crown Prince," Wu Xingyun exclaimed.
That was exactly what Han Zhu, Ji Xiuming, and the other young warriors thought; they felt troubled by such development. Some of them were excited, others envious, while the rest were filled with admiration…
On the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team's spacecraft—Lin Chuhan finally relaxed her tightly-clenched fists and stared at the figure standing in the limelight. All her attention was on him.
This fellow stands out no matter where he goes!
