The King of Hatred

"Ladies and gentlemen! Fellow compatriots of the Martial Star Continent! The High - School League of the Northern Region is officially kicking off!"

Nearly 100,000 spectators were seated all around. As far as one could see, there were rows of people sitting in a terraced formation.

On the huge stage in the middle, the host shouted passionately.

"This competition is jointly funded by all the cities in the Northern Region, along with 123 commercial firms and 31 knight orders. Now, let's welcome the 24 knight - order commanders who have come especially to make their appearance!"

With the host's shout, countless lights snapped on and landed on the front row of the spectator stands.

The 24 knight - order commanders, sitting in a row, stood up in unison and saluted.

They were dressed in the standard uniforms of their respective knight orders, fully armed and looking extremely imposing. Although they were of different races and had various appearances, their eyes, glinting with a cold light, and their imposing auras all indicated that they were top - notch masters.

Looking at these knight - order leaders who had been stationed in the Northern Region for years, deafening cheers and screams immediately erupted from the spectator stands.

Seeing this, the knight - order commanders suddenly raised their hands in unison, clenching their hands, which were clad in arm - guards.

In an instant, the arena, which had been filled with a sea of cheers, became completely silent.

"Glory!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Justice!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Unity!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The tsunami - like roars almost blew the roof off the huge arena.

After shouting the slogans, the knight - order commanders took their seats one after another, but the spectators still didn't stop shouting.

Seeing this, the host quickly stepped forward to change the topic.

After all, it was necessary. Once before, due to lack of intervention, the entire arena was almost torn down.

When the spectators went crazy, no one could stop them.

"The continuation of our races depends on two things: unity and hope. Humans and orcs unite together to resist countless foreign invasions. This is unity. And hope lies in these rising stars who will surely shine in the future and light the way for our ethnic groups. Now, let's welcome with applause all the top students from the schools in the Northern Region! A total of 1,358 people! Make your grand entrance!"

Amid the cheers, the rear wall suddenly lit up.

There appeared a dense array of school emblems, with the names of the respective participating contestants beneath each emblem.

All the students walked onto the stage in a long line. The host quickly ran up to the first student and said loudly with a microphone,

"Each student has five seconds for self - introduction. Try to make a deep impression on the audience. Remember! The people of the entire Northern Region, even the whole Martial Star Continent, are watching you at this moment!"

The leading student was extremely excited. He walked briskly to the middle of the stage, opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't make a sound due to being too nervous.

Finally, the student simply gave a military salute and turned to walk towards the assembly point on the other side.

And this military salute, as expected, once again ignited the emotions of the audience.

Humans are emotional beings and are very easily influenced by the emotions of their peers.

When everyone around is cheering, even if you don't understand what's going on, you will instinctively join them.

This was the situation in the spectator stands at the moment.

One student after another walked across the stage. Some spoke, some remained silent, some had rich body language, while others had stiff and rigid movements.

"For glory!"

"I will surely achieve honor!"

"Long live the human race!"

"Witness me!"

"Motherfucker!"

Watching a burly man walk across the stage without stopping, raising two middle fingers provocatively as he went, the audience, who had been cheering and clapping desperately, gradually stopped their actions and began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Just now, did a guy with a rather strange demeanor walk by?

In the spectator stands, Yuli was pulling her horse ears, her expression almost on the verge of collapse.

Even Yuna, who was usually very calm, covered her face in helplessness at this moment.

Backstage, Qin Yu's teacher, Zhao Youran, was hunching her neck like an ostrich.

The teachers and the principal from the same school sitting around her were looking at her with strange expressions. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning in their eyes was self - evident.

Is this the good student you taught? What a 'talent' indeed!

Qin Yu didn't care about what others thought. Having stirred up some hatred, he listened to the continuous system prompts in his ear and walked contentedly to the gathering place of the students.

Here, all the students were standing in their respective positions according to the instructions on the ground.

The students from the same school stood together to form a small team.

Then, the students from the same city stood together to form a large team.

The team Qin Yu was in had a total of 36 people, which were all the contestants from the four major high - schools in Crane City for this competition.

After all the contestants were in place, at the host's command, the surrounding space suddenly darkened, and only the squares of the students were bathed in light.

At the same time, the fronts of all the seats in the spectator stands unfolded, and a highly sci - fi light screen appeared in front of the audience.

"Now, the competition rules are announced. These 1,358 contestants will go to the Rising Star Island for a seven - day elimination round. When they first land on the island, they will be provided with three - day worth of food. After the food runs out, they have to find ways to solve the food problem on their own.

The Rising Star Island has tens of thousands of magical beasts from the Magic Gate, ferocious beasts from the Demon Gate, and killing machines from the Technology Gate.

Their strength ranges from level 1 to level 5. Special energy balls have been implanted in their bodies. After the competition, the more energy balls the non - eliminated contestants collect, the higher their scores will be.

In the end, only the 100 contestants with the highest scores will be selected for the final arena competition!"

The host raised his arm, and a large amount of light fell from the sky.

They were actually countless spherical mechanical bodies!

These mechanical balls floated above the head of each student and separated a special metal band, which buckled onto the student's arm.

"These are high - tech medical balls. They can not only broadcast each student's performance in real - time but also save the students' lives in critical moments. However, one thing needs to be noted.

Once a high - tech medical ball intervenes to help, it means that the student loses the competition qualification.

The metal band on your hand can transmit your physical condition to the ball. When your physical condition deteriorates to a certain extent, the metal ball will directly teleport you back to the stage.

But this also means that you lose the competition qualification!"

The various cities really care about these students. To be precise, the entire empire attaches great importance to students.

Because young people represent hope. Those who are eligible to participate in such a major competition, as long as they can grow up safely, will at least be eligible to become a member of a knight order.

And a large number of outstanding fresh blood is the real reason why the human race on the Martial Star Continent has been able to contend with countless invading forces for thousands of years without being divided up.

Therefore, the organizers have really gone all out to ensure their safety.

Just these one - to - one high - tech metal balls floating in the sky are priceless treasures.

They can not only emit energy waves for defense, but if their self - igniting cores are activated, they can even resist the full - force attack of a level - 5 master for a short period of time.

With these, the casualties of the students can be minimized.
