The participants were a little confused at the explanation for the foundation establishment beasts. 

A few of them raised their hands to ask and the host picked one. "I am a little confused, say I kill a 2nd foundation establishment realm beast, how many points do we get? 55 or 60?" he asked. 

The host smiled and answered, "as I said, the foundation establishment realm starts at 50, so the 1st foundation establishment realm beast will give you 50 points. 2nd will give you 55, 3rd will give you 60, all the way up to 9th realm which will give you 90 points, but you guys don't have to worry about them, since those don't exist in there."

The participants made a small noise of understanding. 

"Now, let's move on to how the competition itself will take place. Once you enter the portal to the secret realm, you will all be teleported to a different place at random. No one can tell where you will end up." 

"You will then begin to look for points with the talisman on your chest. Remember, you will not get points if the talisman is not on your chest."

"Every day, at exactly noon, you will once again be teleported randomly to another location in the secret realm, while the traversable land will be cut in half."

"So in 4 days, the land will be one-eighth of what you started with." 

"To win in this competition, you will need to be in the top 128 people with the most number of points by the end of the 4 days."

"Now, moving onto rewards," the host said. 

Suddenly, all the participants' bodies got straighter as they got more attentive at the rewards part. 

"The reward for this competition is… you get to keep part of the corpses and ingredients you acquire in the secret realm," the host said. 

'Huh?' was the sound that unanimously rang through the entire group. Ning was a little confused too. ' We will get to keep what we acquire?' he didn't expect the competition holders to be so… benevolent. 

"Let me explain," the host said as he quieted down the crowd. 

"Not everyone will get a reward, only those who do well will succeed in getting better rewards too."

"The talisman you all hold will record two types of points. One is the total points you acquire or lose through either killing or dying at the hands of either the monsters or the other participants. This is what will choose the rank you are on."

"The other points will be purely the ingredients and corpses you acquire by yourself."

"Depending on the percentile of the rank you are on, you will be forced to hand over a minimum of 50% of all everything you collect."

"If you are on the 1st percentile, you will have to give 50% of everything you get, and if you happen to end up on the 100th percentile, you will have to hand over 100% of everything you collect."

"What you will have to hand over will be based on points of the items. However, there is also a variety between those that come in the top 128 and those that don't."

"Only those that come in the top 128 can choose what they want to keep and what they want to give. Everyone else will have to hand over their ingredients for use to chose. I hope you guys understood that," the host said. 

The people started murmuring. Most of them understood and were quite surprised at the shamelessness of the tournament holder. Others that didn't understand asked their friends. 

Ning thought for a bit and quickly understood what was happening. 

'So no matter what I have to get onto the top 128 right?' he thought.

Soon, staff of the tournament holders started walking out and handed every single one of them a few storage bags and a single talisman that they forcefully stuck onto their chests. 

Ning got pasted one on himself too. 

He looked at the talisman and was mesmerized by the intricate runes on it. 

Once everyone got their hands of the storage bags and talismans, the host spoke once more. 

"Alright, listen up. There are a few rules that you will have to follow if you want to stay in the tournament."

"First of all, the storage bags are linked to the talisman you have. So if you don't keep the ingredients and corpses in the storage bags, you will flop."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to steal other people's storage bags. If you are found to have stolen it, you will face direct disqualification, and all of the materials you got will be confiscated."

"Even if every one of you is sent out, the secret realm won't close until all of the 4 days are over. So do try to survive until then."

"Teaming up, stealing what others got before they could store it, backstabbing, or whatever other things you can think of that doesn't break the rules is fully allowed."

The host then looked at the sun in the sky and realized that it was time. 

"We will now start the tournament. I will call out your island's names. 15 people from that island please walk forward and enter the portal."

"Yellow Bush Island"

A group of people walked out of the thousands and walked towards the portal. The moment they reached the portal, a suction of sort suddenly pulled them in and they all disappeared. 

"High Sky island" 

Another group walked in and disappeared. 

"Hero Island"

People wearing mostly orange clothes walked up and entered the portal in front of everyone. Ning recognized one of the people in there and smiled. 

A bunch of other names was called before their name came up. 

"Deepskull island"

Ning and the 14 other people walked out of the crowd and went onto the stage. Even as he walked forward Ning couldn't feel anything until he reached near the portal. 

Then, suddenly one of the people at the front disappeared. Followed by another, and another and another. Until finally, he too was sucked into the portal and disappeared.
