Chapter 337: Chapter 19: Alien Race, Seed Players (Request for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 337: Chapter 19: Alien Race, Seed Players (Request for Monthly Tickets) The first match of the advancement tournament ended, stirring up another huge wave of excitement.
Xu Mo and Lin Jue, both advanced.
Although there were many formidable characters in this advancement match, they did not interfere with each other.
Apart from the team led by Lantis from the Capital Royal Academy, other formidable individuals naturally wouldn’t bother to provoke Xu Mo and his team.
With ten spots available for advancement, one extra person like Xu Mo wouldn’t hinder them.
As a result, two members of the Stark Group’s team advanced to the next round.
On the other hand, just like Li Kaiyun’s team, Lantis’s team from the Capital Royal Academy was completely wiped out, which was exceptionally ironic.
Now, the students of the Capital Royal Academy felt too ashamed to even lift their heads as they walked down the street.
Facing two consecutive total defeats, especially when they were the ones to provoke first, they had completely lost face.
Even the audience supporting them was especially disappointed.
The Capital Royal Academy, as the top institution on Byron Star, had suffered a particularly harsh defeat this time.
Li Kaiyun and Lantis, both highly regarded with a chance to rank in the top ten of this Transcendent competition, fell in the first round and the second round respectively, without even reaching the top hundred.

Winning one more round of the free-for-all meant he would advance to the top one hundred of this Transcendent competition.
Moreover, in the next round of the free-for-all, there were not many people left, and the probability of advancing was much higher compared to the previous two rounds.
The rule was that after the advancement match ended, all who advanced would enter the same arena for the final knockout round, and the last hundred remaining would advance to the top hundred.
Under these rules, if other top individuals from the Royal Academy still chose to target Xu Mo, he would likely be eliminated.
For example, Augustine—if he decided to deal with Xu Mo, Xu Mo wouldn’t stand a chance, even though he had become very strong.
But Augustine had ranked fifth in the previous event and his goal this time was the top three.
In the second match of the advancement tournament, Augustine made his appearance, decisively claiming the top spot of the round with an overwhelmingly strong posture, eliminating the most opponents.
When he and his companions from the Royal Academy stepped out, they were surrounded by the media reporters.
“Augustine, last time you secured the top five, this time, what’s your goal?” a reporter asked.
“Top three,” Augustine replied, without a moment’s hesitation.
Not making it into the top three would mean failure.
“Augustine, Xu Mo has recently defeated Li Kaiyun and Lantis of the Royal Academy.
What do you think about this?” another reporter asked.
“With so many participants in this Transcendent competition, it is normal for some formidable ones to emerge.
Xu Mo’s defeats of Li Kaiyun and Lantis proves he is strong,” Augustine said calmly, without betraying any emotion.
“So, will you regard Xu Mo as a competitor and eliminate him from the competition?” someone else prodded.
Augustine pondered for a moment before responding, “He is not my opponent.”
With that, Augustine walked on, no longer accepting the interview.
Answering a few questions was enough—as staying would mean the reporters could keep questioning indefinitely.
After Augustine left, the reporters got the answers they wanted, their excitement palpable.
Soon, Augustine’s interview was played on the screen.
My opponent is not him.
Even though Augustine acknowledged Xu Mo’s strength, having defeated Li Kaiyun and Lantis and proving his capability, he still didn’t consider Xu Mo as an opponent.
For Augustine, aiming for the top three, his opponents were only those powerful entities from the Alien Races.
As for Xu Mo, he wasn’t bothered by this and continued his cultivation after the match ended.
The opponents he would face next were only going to get stronger.
Stark’s initial goal of reaching the top hundred wasn’t an exaggeration.
The difficulty of advancing in the Transcendent competition was indeed extremely high, especially since he had offended the Royal Academy.
Up to now, most people still believed he would fall in the next round, before the top hundred battles.
The atmosphere in Chuanxing City remained incredibly lively.
The Transcendent competition was in full swing.
In the preliminaries, many didn’t need to show their strength, they just needed to survive the battlefield, but the advancement matches required the elimination of a sufficient number of competitors, so those formidable individuals revealed their power, eliminating enough opponents as quickly as possible.
Thus, one after another, powerful Transcendents appeared in the public eye.
On the screens across Chuanxing City, they saw competitors in the Transcendent battlefield who could fly through the sky; with a leap, they soared high, as if capable of flight.
There were also those with Ice Sealing Abilities, their bodies frosted over, lowering temperatures to the point where it froze human bodies and malfunctioned machinery, earning them the title Ice Man.
Then, on the screen of the Transcendent competition, a burly figure was seen sprinting wildly.
With a body of flesh and blood, he wore no Battle Armor.
As he faced a charging Mecha with explosive energy and terrifying speed, many viewers felt anxious for him.
A man directly facing a Mecha, even without armor?
How insane was that?
Yet, he continued to charge forward, with no intention of stopping.
As he and the Mecha closed in, his body suddenly exploded with even more frightening speed.
In an instant, he shot forward, appearing right in front of the Mecha.
He threw a punch that collided with the Mecha, which had no chance to strike before being sent flying by the blow.
The Mecha’s exterior shattered, cracks forming.
The terrifying power made everyone’s hearts beat furiously—such was the astounding force.
