Rebirth: The New Game of Life

After the women continued their journey through the desert, Liu Yang and Saya followed silently. Even if Sara used her skill, she would not be able to see Liu Yang.

While following the women, Saya told Liu Yang the things that happened after he left.

Excluding combat training with the beasts they did, Saya taught those who had killer characteristics, acting like a killer. Saya also spoke about the dead men, these men were part of a group of thieves who robbed travelers, the moment they saw the women, their lust was lifted.

They tried to attack the caravan to take the women, fortunately, their level was too low, so it was easy for women to defeat them. After that, she forced the women to kill at least one of the men to mark the beginning of their journey to become a specialist.

Liu Yang was quite happy with Saya's performance during these months, he praised her well before they hugged and kissed. The women did not know that near them was their master and his other partner.

...

While Liu Yang trained his maids and slaves. The Nine Worlds were celebrating the beginning of a great event: The Great Alliance Tournament.

Sometime before...

After the announcement a year ago, all clans did their utmost to increase the power of their younger generation. Several clans made an internal selection to choose the fifty participants who will represent the clan, after many battles and conflicts, these finally managed to finish the test.

The day everyone was waiting finally arrived, the site of the first stage of the tournament was in four of the secret realms of the alliance. The secret kingdom that Xinyue had gone was the greatest secret realm of the alliance.

To participate in the tournament, each clan had to pay a participation fee for each member that will participate, could be items or golden coins. There were a total of four tournaments that will occur, clans could send a total of two hundred young people to participate, that is, fifty for each tournament.

Those who came from small and medium clans could not afford all this fortune, they just sent some young people to participate. While those who came from large clans sent as much participant as possible in an attempt to ensure some high placement. There were also those who were lonely travelers who decided to attend the tournament.

As the organizing group, the clans and sects that were part of the alliance were allowed only to participate in one of the modalities, as the alliance would have its own tournament later.

By participating in the big tournament, it would be an injustice to others, as they would be more chances to win a drop of juice. This could cause some misunderstandings, so several clans have opted only to participate in the alliance's internal tournament, leaving clans and sects outside the alliance to participate in the tournament.

The site of the first phase was a secret realm whose entrance was the main headquarters of the alliance on each continent of the Nine Worlds. No matter which entry the participant entered, they would all lead to the same location.

The main venues of the alliance were full and vivacious, the hot-blooded youngsters had high expectations about the tournament, some were boasting about their level, while others were bragging about their rare and powerful items. There were all sorts of people gathered at the places of entry.

The alliance has reinforced security at all entrances to ensure there is no problem during entry.

The older generation was giving the latest tips to the younger generation before the first phase officially began.

Opposite the entrances there were gigantic crowds waiting, they were separated into four distant groups, there were several guards guarding the four entrances, one entrance to each of the tournament. The entrance was an extremely large and wide gate.

In front of everyone was a big hourglass, the sand was almost over. At the moment the sand fell completely, one of the guards waved his hand and the large portal slowly opened, a large black hole looked like the other side of the door.

The guards only just waved at the participants, each of them started walking toward the door of their respective tournament. Those who were older than allowed, this person will be blocked by the portal, only those who fit the rules could enter.

Amidst the large crowds that were entering the portal, there were some who were blocked, they were the ones who were trying to break the rules by entering a tournament other than the one that was qualified.

On the other side of the portal was a world completely different from the outside: gigantic forests with huge trees, wild beasts and other types of creatures that vary among the levels of the competitors, however there were some that had the level that exceeded the competitors in 10 or 20, huge lakes full of danger, unexplored caves, the secret realm was a whole new place for those never entered one.

The four secret realms were shaped like a gigantic sphere, participants were being transported to the edge of that sphere, they had to reach the finish line in the center of that sphere.

All had to wait until the rest of the participants entered to start the first phase of the big tournament. It would still take a long time for everyone to enter, as there were several million participants for each tournament. Thinking about these numbers it was possible to see just how great those secret realms were that the alliance had.

At the place of departure, it was possible to see young people wearing both refined clothes and ordinary clothes, there were those who were showing wealth to attract the attention of others by wearing shiny armor, weapons, and jewelry. There were also those who wore black clothes that completely covered the body, it was not possible to know if it was male or female.

Groups began to be formed by acquaintances in the attempt to increase the power of combat, those who were of great clans and if they know each other, they formed their own groups. But those who were a little more humble would make groups among them. There were also those who prefer to travel alone with no company.

A few hours later, the entrance portal closes, this showed that all participants entered the secret realm. A time marker popped up for everyone, indicating a countdown.

01:00

When the counter reached zero, some spatial distortions appear and break, the barrier that prevented the participants from leaving the place is broken, this was the signal of the beginning of the first phase of the tournament.

After the barrier was broken, the young people began to run frantically toward the forest. Some were slower and were trampled by other competitors.

The secret realm was divided into three zones, initial, intermediate, and central area. The danger in each zone was proportional to the number of competitors who were still in the secret realm, that is, the more participants, the more dangerous the place.

A few minutes after the start of the first phase, there were already dead competitors, they fell into traps that existed in the forest. No one cared for them except their companions, for they were only ordinary people in the eyes of the great clans.

The great clans received some information from their elders about the secret realm, they gave some important information about each of the four areas.

Participants had a total of six months of time to get to the central area of the secret realm, those who succeed will move to the second phase, while those who fail will be disqualified.
