The Daily Life of the Immortal King Chapter 65: Welcome to Cultivator’s Rift

"The contest this time seem quite different to previous meets?" Listening to the female host list the rules of the contest, the old Secretary's eyes lit up. Previous spirit sword exchange meets had basically just been students showcasing their individual talents by following a standard pattern of moves and judges scoring them based on their form and proficiency in swordsmanship, which could be considered extremely boring. The competition this time round, however, would be a team event, thereby doing away with the judging panel and replacing it with a comprehensive evaluation system. The scores given would hence be fairer and less biased. Headmaster Jin smiled faintly. "The contest format this time round was personally proposed by General Yi at the standing committee meeting and our two schools were assigned to implement it." "What this female host said was a little complicated. Can someone give me a simplified version of the contest rules?" "Well... simply put, the competition this time is more like a five-on-five MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game. There are three lanes and each lane has a turret: an outer turret, an inner turret and a high turret respectively. The students are free to choose a lane to follow and subsequently have to defend the corresponding turret while they try to destroy the crystal in the enemy's base. After entering the game, the students are free to choose one functional system skill; currently, the only options are teleport, ignite, heal and flash skills 1 ... overall, it will be even more interesting and confrontational than previous contests." Headmaster Jin said, "After officially entering the virtual space, the students' personal data, including their spirit swords, will be converted into digital data that will be integrated into the system's databank and their strength will be computed as numbers. These estimated values will be based on the grade of their spirit swords. "There are two things that the students will need to do: firstly, increase their experience by growing steadily through defeating minions or monsters. After data conversion, the students' overall fighting strength will be divided into twenty parts, or twenty levels. With each level upgrade, five percent of their strength will be unsealed. Completing all the levels will mean regaining all of their true, original strength. Secondly, they need to collect as many game coins as possible within a short time frame and exchange them for magic artifacts in order to build their individual spirit swords." "That's remarkable!" Secretary Sun nodded. "The upgrade method is very challenging! And building their spirit swords also helps them to improve their rapport with their spirit swords. But how are the values measured?" "Of course, in order to ensure fairness, the stronger the sword, the higher its value. For example, Student Lotus Sun's sword Mysterious Sea has already spawned a sword spirit and will require a large number of widgets in order to be built. Its overall value is estimated to be around 5,000 game coins," Director Xie answered from the side. ... While several of the leaders were whispering to each other on the stage, the female host said, "I now declare the array open! The game has officially begun!" The current arrays were very advanced and were all voice-activated. Before the array had been set up, the female host's voice had already been inputted into the system. Hence, after she gave the command, a green light immediately appeared on the ground of the large sports field. Bzz ! — Then, a green beam of light linking earth and sky appeared before all the people present. All the students from No. 60 High School were the first to step into the beam of light, and to the naked eye, it looked like they gradually disintegrated into small particles that eventually disappeared in the green beam. "Let's go too!" Tang Jingze gnashed his teeth and disappeared in the beam of light with Fang Huaqing, Liang Wei, Liang Zheng and Liang Fei. The students from the two schools had entered the virtual space one after another; whatever happened next could only be seen via the large broadcast screens on the sports field. The map that had been set this time rigorously "referenced" the battle design of a common five-on-five MOBA game. Next to both the red base and the blue base stood a stone tablet shamelessly inscribed with the words "Cultivator's
