My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 145: The Challenge of the Ox, the Five-way Contest (Sunday 12:)

Is the zodiac ox of Kaiyang level...

Chu Mu felt relieved.

According to the re-screening rules, among the tests of the seven zodiac oxen, Kaiyang corresponds to the second level of difficulty.

This difficulty level was suitable for him as it was his first time to take on the zodiac challenge.

Thinking of this, Chu Mu walked up to Kaiyang Niu and asked, "Excuse me, what is your challenge?"

Kaiyang Niu glanced at Chu Mu, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes under the hood, "Strength challenge, random team formation."

"Two tokens are required to enter, and 2 people are required to start. The winner will receive 10 tokens."

"The rate of return is so high?" Chu Mu showed an interested look. "How exactly does the challenge work? How many people are in a random team?"

"I'll tell you after you pay the token." Kaiyang Niu said calmly.

"Count me in." Chu Mu took out two tokens and handed them to Kaiyang Niu. "Can you tell me now?"

"You wait with them." Kaiyang Niu pointed at the six martial arts students not far away, "There are still three missing. I will talk to them all at once when everyone is here."

Chu Mu nodded slightly, and then walked to the six people who were waiting.

The six martial arts students cast their eyes on Chu Mu, and one of the tall and thin men suddenly asked, "Brother, are you in the air?"

"Before asking others, you might as well talk about yourself first." Chu Mu said calmly.

"You're quite cautious." The tall and thin man chuckled and pointed at himself and three of the six people. "Four of us have vacated, and the remaining two haven't. Can we talk now?"

The other five people were displeased at the tall and thin man's straightforward exposure of the others' strength, but they did not say anything more.

"I am also in the Soaring Realm." Chu Mu nodded slightly. At the same time, he secretly glanced at the six people and took note of the two martial arts students who had not yet reached the Soaring Realm.

If possible, I hope not to be matched with them in a group.

The challenge involves ten people, with an 8x return rate for winning. If the zodiac sign does not take out a new token, only a single-player challenge can meet the requirements.

But this challenge requires random team formation. Since it is a team, each team must have at least two people. In this way, in addition to the entrance fee paid by each person, the zodiac sign himself will have to pay a part of the token to the winner.

That is to say, the total number of tokens will increase with the challenges.

"We still have to wait for three more people. I have a suggestion." Another short-haired girl wearing glasses pushed her glasses, "If the next participant in the challenge is still at the Nayuan Realm, let's stop him together."

"Having two people at the Nayuan level is bad enough. If there are too many people at the Nayuan level among the ten people participating in the challenge, it won't be a good thing for us." The short-haired girl with glasses said calmly, "If this is a strength challenge, I hope there will be less luck involved."

"Hey!" The taller of the two Nayuan Realm martial arts students looked grim, "Isn't that too much? Do you have to control who participates in the challenge? If someone is weak, they don't even have the qualifications to participate in the challenge?"

"There are also differences in strength in the Soaring Realm. If you look down on others for being weak, then naturally there will be people who think you are a burden." Another long-haired girl in the Soaring Realm said coldly, "Luck is also a part of strength."

Seeing that no one agreed with her, the girl with short hair and glasses pushed her glasses, muttered "Holy Mother" in a low voice, and said no more.

Chu Mu said nothing and waited quietly.

Soon new participants arrived one after another, and with the addition of two people at the Tengkong Realm and one at the Nayuan Realm, the total number of people was ten.

"Follow me." Kaiyangniu opened the gate of the stadium and waved to the ten people.

After everyone entered the stadium, he closed the gate again and led everyone to the lawn in the middle of the plastic track. Then he looked at everyone and said, "Next, I will explain the content of the challenge in detail."

"First, we will draw lots to randomly form teams, two people in a group, for a total of five groups." Kaiyangniu picked up a lottery box, took out small balls from it, and handed them to the ten participants in turn. "Okay, the lottery is over, and those with the same serial number will be a group."

"Hey? Can't we draw by ourselves?" One of them showed an unhappy expression, "If you draw by yourself, who knows if there will be any shady dealings."

"I have the final say on the challenge rules here. If you are not satisfied, you can quit now." Kaiyang Niu sneered, "The token will not be returned."

The man raised the ball in his hand with a dark face, "Who is number 4?"

"It's me." The girl with short hair and glasses raised the No. 4 ball in her hand. When she saw that her teammate was in the Tengkong Realm, her expression became much better.

"I'm number 2." Chu Mu raised the ball in his hand.

"Number 2." A cold voice came. It was the long-haired girl who had opposed the short-haired and glasses girl while they were waiting.

Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the other person's side. "My name is Chu Mu. Good luck later."

"Lin Siying." The long-haired girl nodded slightly, "Let's see the specific rules first."

The other three groups also found their teammates one after another. Two of the three participants in the Nayuan realm were matched together, and the tall boy who had just angrily scolded the girl with short hair and glasses was matched with a person in the Tengkong realm.

"Don't worry, brother. I'll take you flying." The man who was in the Tengkong realm had a strong physique. He patted the tall boy on the shoulder and smiled brightly.

The tall boy's tense expression relaxed slightly and he smiled.

Kaiyang Niu glanced at everyone who had matched their teammates, and then pointed to a special five-pointed star-shaped iron frame in the middle of the lawn.

"This challenge is called the Five-Party Wrestling."

"Five groups each hold a corner of the five-pointed star, and through a contest of strength, the other four groups are eliminated. The group that remains is the winner."

"In this process, there are several points that require attention." Kaiyang Niu paused slightly and waited until everyone looked at him before speaking.

"First, the lawn is the wrestling area, and stepping over the boundary will be considered elimination."

"Second, if you take your hands off the five-pointed star wrestling rack, you will be eliminated."

"Third, if one person in the same group is eliminated, the other person will be automatically eliminated."

"Fourth, once you choose the wrestling end, you cannot change it during the process." "Fifth, if the wrestling rack falls to the ground and more than one group survives, there will be no winner and no one will get any reward."

"Now, everyone has two minutes to discuss tactics and familiarize yourself with the equipment. The challenge will officially begin in two minutes."

After saying that, Kaiyang Niu made a "please" gesture towards the five-pointed star wrestling rack on the ground, and stood on the track beside the lawn with his hands on his chest.

Chu Mu and Lin Siying looked at each other and walked towards the five-pointed star wrestling rack together. It was a solid five-pointed star that was completely black, made of metal, and nearly five centimeters thick. There were vertical handles on both sides of each corner, just enough for two people to hold.

Chu Mu grabbed one end of the handle and lifted it up suddenly, then his expression changed slightly.

This seemingly ordinary bracket actually weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. Lifting such a heavy bracket for wrestling is a challenge in itself.

Lin Siying stretched out a palm and pressed it on the bracket. A faint light surged in the palm of her hand, and the source of power surged. The dark surface of the five-pointed star bracket and the area that touched the palm quietly turned into an ice blue, causing her eyes to narrow slightly.

The two looked at each other and then walked aside.

"This bracket is very heavy, and wrestling with it probably requires some skills." Chu Mu gave his opinion, "This kind of five-pointed bracket is not stable in terms of force, and it is not easy to push it forward or pull it back."

"In comparison, it should be easier to control its movement during the deflection process."

"I see." Lin Siying nodded. "I just tried it. This wrestling rack is specially made. The material is the same as the source force weapon."

"So it can conduct the source force and will not be damaged by the source force."

"Also, as the source force is injected, its color will change."

"Compared to wrestling, the confrontation of source power should also be an important part of the challenge."

"Source power confrontation..." Chu Mu showed a thoughtful look, "If this is the case, we should have a certain advantage."

"The characteristic of my source power is cutting. If you come into contact with my source power, irregular cutting scars will appear."

“In addition to pushing other groups out of the boundary line, forcing them to let go is also a way to eliminate them.”

Lin Siying glanced at Chu Mu in surprise, "My source of strength is the elemental ice."

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Chu Mu smiled.

I don’t know what the situation is for other groups, but their group has a significant advantage.

"I have some thoughts about wrestling..."

The two-minute discussion time ended quickly. Kaiyang Niu, who was standing outside the boundary, returned to the venue, picked up the wrestling rack weighing tens of thousands of kilograms with one hand, and put it back in the center of the lawn.

"Group five, in place."

Chu Mu and Lin Siying chose a corner, held the handle, and carefully observed the positions of the other groups.

The first one on the right is group 4, the girl with short hair and glasses and her partner.

The second person on the right is Group 1, which consists of a tall boy from the Nayuan realm and a muscular boy from the Tengkong realm.

The first one on the left is Group 3, a group consisting of two people in the Nayuan realm.

The second person from the left is from Group 5, consisting of the tall and thin boy who first spoke to Chu Mu and the last girl who came.

After the five groups lifted the wrestling rack together, Kaiyang Niu spoke calmly.

"start."
-
Wanshou Star, the core testing ground.

This is the only area on the Star of Ten Thousand Beasts that has not been opened as a re-screening site. It has the ability to monitor every corner of the Star of Ten Thousand Beasts. During the hunting period, no star beast can escape this strict surveillance.

At this moment, the huge monitoring room was filled with teachers from Beidou Qiwu University, and thousands of monitoring images were randomly displayed every second.

In the very center of the surveillance screen, there are eighty-four surveillance screens that remain motionless. They correspond to the eighty-four zodiac challenge points on the Wanshou Star.

"Another challenge has begun." One of the teachers smiled playfully, "It's Kaiyang Niu."

Everyone turned on the communicator and checked the challenge rules of Kaiyang Niu while observing the situation on the surveillance screen.

"This rule is quite interesting." One of the teachers said with interest, "It is different from normal wrestling. It not only tests the control of strength, but also involves the collision of source power."

"Not only that." Another teacher smiled, "The five-pointed star-shaped wrestling rack has uneven forces to begin with. If a group is eliminated, the forces will be even more uneven."

“The more groups that are eliminated, the harder the subsequent wrestling will be.”

"Did Kaiyang Niu design this challenge himself?" The teacher said with a click of the tongue, "He is a talented person, suitable for our Tianquan Wuda."

"Well... Teacher Zhou." A teacher next to him coughed lightly, "Kaiyang cattle originally belonged to our Tianquan Wuda University."

"Oh... that's fine." Teacher Zhou showed an embarrassed expression and hurriedly changed the subject, "Let's see how these children perform!"
-
The pitch-black five-pointed wrestling rack has turned into a colorful one with the influx of different source forces. Each color represents a source force.

The next second after the challenge began, the source power surging from Lin Siying's hands brought a touch of frosty white on the wrestling rack and went straight towards the No. 3 group in the first position on the left.

At the same time, Group No. 5, which was in the second position on the left, had the same target as Lin Siying, and the source power burst towards Group No. 3.

"Stop them!" The boy in Group 4 who was partnered with the short-haired girl with glasses narrowed his eyes, and slammed his hand on the wrestling rack. A flash of purple quickly blasted towards the three colors on the wrestling rack, trying to stop them.

A light blue light came from behind and arrived first, slamming into the purple source power and quickly blasting it apart.

Chu Mu, who made the move, smiled at the boy in Group 4.

"Sorry, this road is blocked."
