Survival Arena

After the power assessment ended, Chu Ge returned to the Team Cultivation Hall.

Everyone immediately crowded around him, talking nonstop with great excitement.

They seemed even more excited than Chu Ge himself.

"Boss, fourth place, that's freakin' awesome!"

"Hahaha, are we now one of the top powerhouses within the Three Stars Team?"

"Of course, we're that strong!"

"We should also aim higher in the rankings, all except for the Local Snake, let's target the top hundred!"

"Why except me?"

The members discussed fervently, each one more thrilled than the last.

Even Gu Tianjiao had a full smile on her face.

Chu Ge glared at them and said grumpily, "Enough talk, go train now, and then fight your way up the rankings!"

Everyone burst into laughter and quickly left.

Gu Tianjiao walked up to Chu Ge and asked, "When are you planning to take on Vengeful Ghost's Revenge?"

Chu Ge's punishment didn't count towards his once monthly Survival Competition; he could participate at any time over the next two months.

"What do you think would be a good time?" Chu Ge asked.

Gu Tianjiao replied, "Within half a month."

"That soon? Why not wait a bit longer? What if I become much stronger after the next Survival Competition?"

Chu Ge wondered, there was no rush anyway with two months' time.

He was confident he could get through Vengeful Ghost's Revenge.

"You're already sure to win. Go while you're feeling good; what if something goes wrong in the next Survival Competition and the pressure gets too great? It could affect your performance," Gu Tianjiao whispered.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge thought it made sense.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Suicide had just scored a major victory, and he had acquired a new Survival Talent; it was indeed his time with the wind in his sails.

"Alright, I'll start in a few days,"

Chu Ge whispered, his eyes blazing with resolve.

Adjudicator!

He wanted to see what privileges came with this status.

Suddenly, Gu Tianjiao called out to Xiao Hero.

Xiao Hero flew over and, fixing his gaze on Chu Ge, said, "I've heard some rumors about the Adjudicator. It seems they have special privileges, but with more at stake, they can face challenges from other Adjudicators at any time, with no teammates, fighting alone."

Fighting alone?

Wasn't that exactly Chu Ge's current predicament?

Participating in Vengeful Ghost's Revenge all by himself.

It seems he was halfway to becoming an Adjudicator already.

"What are the benefits of becoming an Adjudicator?" Chu Ge asked.

Xiao Hero hesitated, "Not sure, but they have more chances at Survival Competitions than most survivors, isn't that a benefit for the strong?"

Chu Ge thought it made sense.

The fairest thing for survivors was that everyone only got one Survival Competition each month.

The three of them chatted a bit more then went their separate ways.

For the following period, Chu Ge trained strenuously.

His effort put pressure on the others, spurring everyone to train intensively.

Time flew.

Seven days passed in a blur.

On this day.

Chu Ge left a note in the villa and sneaked into the Survival House by himself.

"I want to start Vengeful Ghost's Revenge!"

Chu Ge declared, his voice resounding and powerful.

His fighting spirit was high, ready to unleash a rampage.

"Your Survival Challenge begins, with the rules set to Vengeful Ghost's Revenge!"

"Initiating matchmaking for the Survival Arena!"

Survival Challenge!

Chu Ge was stunned, so this was the Survival Challenge?

Before he could ponder further, the indifferent female voice rang out once more:

"The location for this Survival Competition is Floating Island!"

"The duration of the Survival Competition is 240 hours!"

"The rules for this Survival Competition are as follows!"

"1. For every Survivor the Vengeful Ghost kills, it earns 200 Survival Points, with no extra points for additional kills!"

"2. If the Vengeful Ghost dies or fails to make a kill, it will be eliminated immediately and reincarnated as a plant or animal!"

"3. Leaving the horizontal boundaries of the Floating Island counts as elimination!"

…

Chu Ge felt dizzy and soon disappeared inside the house.

After a whirlwind of disorientation, Chu Ge landed.

He felt himself lying on the grass, the soil soft, even somewhat damp.

As the discomfort left him, Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes.

Floating Island?

What place was that?

Why hadn't he heard of it before?

What appeared before him was a stunningly beautiful world.

The sky so low, fluffy clouds sailed across it, the boundless prairie undulated under the gentle breeze, raising waves in the green sea of grass.

The air was refreshingly pure, leaving Chu Ge feeling exhilarated.

"Is this an island?"

Chu Ge thought quietly to himself, not seeing any other Survivors or even a single animal.

He noticed his body had become transparent.

If he didn't move, even he could not see his limbs.

However, when he moved, ripples still stirred in space.

He began to wander aimlessly.

After all, he had ten days.

He could afford to take his time.

To observe the geography first, then hunt gradually.

Floating Island sounded very much like something out of a fantasy game.

The environment was indeed beautiful, so much so that Chu Ge wondered if it was real.

After walking several miles, he suddenly stopped.

His mouth agape, he found himself in a dazed state.

"Good heavens... am I seeing this right..."

His voice trembled, and following his gaze toward the end of the prairie, a herd of enormous Mammoths slowly ambled past.

The largest Mammoth in the group stood four to five meters at the shoulder, as tall as a two-story building.

Mammoths!

Weren't they an extinct species?

Chu Ge slapped himself to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

That made sense.

If Mosasaurs could exist in the sea, then seeing Mammoths here was not that strange.

Perhaps they were a group of Survivors?

"Screech—"

A piercing cry came from above, and Chu Ge looked up to see a Vulture with a wingspan of six meters circling in the sky, clearly hunting.

Chu Ge swallowed hard.

He realized this Vengeful Ghost's Revenge was not going to be as easy as he thought.

"This can't be the Three Stars Arena, can it..."

The mere thought made Chu Ge's scalp tingle.

Indeed!

The Survival Arena would show no mercy to Heretics!

Chu Ge took a deep breath and moved in another direction.

After another fifteen minutes, a forest appeared ahead.

At the edge of the woods, a pack of wolves lay resting, their fur varied, each one strong, much larger than the wolves of the real world, almost the size of an African Spotted Hyena, particularly the Wolf King, which was comparable to an African Lion in size.

All the wolves were intently focused in the same direction.

Chu Ge followed their line of sight and saw a tiger approaching the pack.

A tiger...

Damn!

A Saber-toothed Tiger!

Chu Ge's eyes widened as he observed the robust physique of the Saber-toothed Tiger, its muscles sharply defined, with numerous black spots across its body. At first glance, it resembled a Leopard, but its head was that of a tiger, with two pronounced fangs each over ten centimeters long, like short swords.

"Is this a Survivor?"

Chu Ge furrowed his brow, staying still to avoid being detected.

Soon, the Saber-toothed Tiger sprang into action!

Fast as lightning!

Its Speed was extreme!

Like a bolt of lightning, it dashed towards the pack!

This Speed was even faster than Chu Ge's!

The pack quickly dispersed, their Speed slightly faster than that of the Saber-toothed Tiger.

They did not flee, but rather, they circled around, attempting to enclose the Saber-toothed Tiger.
