Chapter 353 Invitation, Rejection (Two in One)

The eighth division, within the arena space.

Lin Yang didn't know that representatives from all the top universes had come from various divisions for him and gathered in the eighth division, quietly waiting for the competition in the division to end.

Just to be able to communicate with him as soon as the game ends.

At this time, Lin Yang was still quietly integrating the substance with extraordinary characteristics of life.

Although the fat old man said that 30% fusion is enough, he still wants to try his best to reach 50% fusion of this life-characteristic substance before the top 100 qualifying competition.

Time flies.

Twenty-two days passed quickly.

"Congratulations, the number of players in this division has been reduced to a hundred. The competition in this division has ended. Congratulations to all the players who have advanced. Please participate in the next stage on time."

The end of the game sound sounded in the arena.

"It's over."

Lin Yang opened his eyes and stood up slowly.

The competition ended in twenty-two days, which was quite different from the time he had estimated before.

"Fortunately, we made a strong move before, otherwise it would have been too late to fuse the life-characteristic substances."

Lin Yang cursed secretly, but also relaxed slightly.

The fusion degree of life characteristic substances has reached 30%, so there is no need to rush further.

As for whether it can be integrated to 50% before the crucial decisive battle, just let nature take its course.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, thank you for your protection and allowing us to advance successfully."

The two of them thanked each other in time.

To be honest, they were both curious when they saw Lin Yang sitting cross-legged and motionless for so many days.

Because even if you need to rest, you won’t be in a restful state for so many days.

Just out of curiosity, they didn't dare to ask any more questions. After thanking him, they were sent out of the arena.

Lin Yang also followed closely and left the arena space.

…

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, I am the person in charge of this competition in Universe 87. Can I talk to you?"

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, we are Universe No. 128, and we would like to discuss a cooperation with you."

"Your Excellency Lin Yang..."

"..."

Outside the arena, as soon as Lin Yang was heard, bursts of noisy sounds rang in his ears.

Almost all the heads of other universes were vying to talk to him.

Lin Yang was startled.

He was a little stunned when he looked at at least dozens of universe leaders gathered around him.

But he reacted quickly.

The people in charge of these universes must have learned about his previous actions, so now they want to invite them to cooperate.

However, for the third stage of the competition, Lin Yang does not plan to cooperate with any universe anymore.

Only a hundred people participated in the third stage of the competition, and only ten people could advance.

Those who advance are the top 100.

It is a bit difficult to ensure that someone is 100% in the top 100.

This is not to say that he can't do it at all, but all the contestants will definitely try their best to fight for the top 100 spot.

If he wants to protect another player, then everyone in the arena will definitely unite and attack.

There are not as many promotion places in the top 100 as there are in the second stage, so it doesn’t matter if you give up a few.

There are only ten promotion places in each division. Once he cooperates with any universe, he may be immediately besieged by other players as soon as he enters the arena.

If he wanted to make a hard guarantee, he could definitely bring one more person to the promotion, but he didn't want to completely expose all his cards and strength so early to avoid accidents or being strongly targeted in the top 100 qualifying competition.

Cooperating with Heile in the first and second stages, it is just a matter of convenience to earn some extra money.

In the third stage, he must focus on stability.

Even though the prices offered by these top universes are very generous or even exaggerated, to be honest, he is not short of these resources.

If he lacks any resources, he can just ask the fat old man for them!

Therefore, compared with the final ranking of the competition, there is no need to earn resources in the third stage.

Looking at the people in charge of the universes who were talking eagerly, Lin Yang moved his lips and teeth slightly, ready to reject them.

But before he could speak, he suddenly heard a sentence that made him pause.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Yang, I am a player from Yuxia Universe. May I have the honor to talk to you?"

Lin Yang instantly turned around and looked at the speaker.

Yuxia Universe!

Isn't this his home universe? !

Before participating in the competition, the fat old man told him the basic situation of this universe!

So when he heard the words "Yuxia Universe", Lin Yang immediately felt a little emotional.

People from this universe actually came to find him!

He pretended to be casual and glanced at the person who spoke.

It's Starlight!

Starlight was also very nervous at this time.

Just now he told Yu Meng that he wanted to come out for a walk, but actually he just wanted to see if he could try to talk to Lin Yang.

Yu Meng thought there was no chance, but he didn't want to give up without even trying.

Although, the chance of inviting Lin Yang is indeed extremely slim.

Especially after seeing so many top universe leaders inviting Lin Yang regardless of the cost, Xingguang became even more nervous.

Even the second before he spoke, he was still fighting between heaven and man, thinking about whether he should really forget it.

In this situation, it takes a lot of courage to even speak.

Everyone else is a representative of the top universe, and the conditions offered are also exaggerated and outrageous.

On their side, Yu Meng didn't even come, let alone the conditions they could offer were indeed much worse than those of these top universes.

When he spoke, it seemed a little disrespectful to Lin Yang just because of his status.

However, in the end, Starlight still chose to open her mouth.

Come all come!

Just one sentence, if you don't say it now, you will definitely regret it when you go back.

As soon as his words came out, the people in charge of other universes immediately looked at him.

Universes that are not named after numbers usually represent cosmic countries or cosmic civilizations that have an extraordinary status in the cosmic alliance!

Nature is impossible to ignore.

But after hearing the name "Yuxia Universe", all the representatives stopped taking it seriously.

As the person in charge of competitions in various top universes, the information he has is naturally extremely detailed.

Yuxia Universe, including this time, has not had a top 100 player in ten competition years, and the universe itself has some problems, so it is no longer worthy of naming the universe.

So everyone stopped paying attention to Xingguang and focused their attention and attention on Lin Yang again.

Only person No. 364 looked at Starlight and sneered:

"Xingguang, you really don't have any self-awareness. With the current situation of your universe, are you qualified to invite Mr. Lin Yang? How ridiculous?!"

Starlight immediately clenched his fists and glared at him.

However, this guy from Universe 364 completely ignored Starlight’s anger and sneered:

"Get out of here quickly, you standing here is an insult to Mr. Lin Yang!"

"Just because you have the nerve to invite Mr. Lin Yang, you simply don't know what to say!"

Starlight's eyes were like fire, but she still resisted the urge to have a verbal conflict with this guy from Universe 364. Instead, she turned her head away, looked at Lin Yang again, and bowed:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, I'm sorry. I know that with my status, I am not qualified to talk to you. I have offended you. Please forgive me!"

"..."

Lin Yang looked at the guy from Universe 364 with a faint look.

Among the people who invited me in the chaos just now, there was this person!

To be honest, he didn't expect that the hostile relationship between Universe 364 and this universe would be so serious.

On such occasions, they would just open fire in front of them.

Seeing the arrogant look of this guy, and seeing the angry look of Xingguang who could only hold back his anger, Lin Yang had a preliminary intuitive understanding of the situation in this universe and Universe 364.

"It seems that this universe is really weak. Faced with the ridicule of Universe No. 364, it can only endure it."

Lin Yang sighed in his heart.

Although the fat old man had mentioned to him that there was something wrong with this universe, that his strength was not as good as before, and that he was now being bullied by Universe No. 364, he did not expect that he would be bullied so seriously.

At that time, the fat old man just said it casually, without giving him too much details.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, Lin Yang has finally seen it.

To be honest, he wanted to slap this guy twice, but he still held back.

He looked at Starlight again and looked at it carefully.

There is an indescribable intimacy when meeting people from one's own universe in the cosmic arena.

This seems to be the feeling of having the same root and origin brought by the mother universe.

Xingguang looks like a young boy, and he looks quite delicate.

It's just that there are some visible injuries on his body, especially on his face. There are obvious signs of being beaten on the left side of his face, which makes his delicate face look a little red and swollen.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yang immediately understood that this was probably a deliberate beating in the middle of the competition.

In the competition arena, although no one will die, there will be injuries.

It's just that under normal circumstances, the protection mechanism of the stadium will immediately remove the player from the stadium if it detects that the player has suffered an injury that may damage the body.

Obvious skin injuries like this are usually caused by the opponent deliberately holding back his hands.

Because this kind of skin trauma will not trigger the protective mechanism of the game.

This usually only happens when someone intentionally tortures the other person.

In the arena space, especially in the melee stage, there are players from many universes participating, but no one has much contact with each other on weekdays. It can even be said that no one knows anyone.

There is almost no case of deliberately torturing a player.

Because it is very bad behavior to torture your opponent before eliminating him in the arena.

Unless there is a great grudge between the two universes, doing so would be provoking a war between the two universes.

Therefore, it can be said with 100% certainty that once this happens, it means that they must be targeted.

And to be able to beat Starlight like this in the space of the cosmic arena, you don’t need to think about it, it’s definitely someone from Universe 364 who did it!

This is humiliating!

It is an insult to Xingguang and the entire Yuxia Universe!

"Made!"

Lin Yang cursed angrily in his heart and glanced at the guy from Universe 364 again!

He made up his mind that if there were players from Universe 364 matched with him in the subsequent competition, he would humiliate them severely!

Then, he withdrew his gaze from Xingguang and adjusted his emotions.

Now that so many people are watching, no one can tell that he has any special treatment for Xingguang and Yuxia Universe.

The guys from Universe 364 dare to be so arrogant, which shows that the high-level members of the Universe Alliance who cooperate with them behind the scenes should also have high status.

It’s not the top 100 competition yet, so we need to be patient for a while.

Just looking at Xingguang’s timid appearance, Lin Yang couldn’t help but sigh and said:

“It’s okay, you don’t need to apologize, I know the purpose of you and the representatives present here.”

As he said, he looked at the representatives of other universes and said directly:

“Everyone, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I don’t plan to cooperate with any universe in the third stage.”

“At the same time, I still can’t accept your invitation to let me fight for your universe. Sorry!”

After that, without giving the representatives of other universes a chance to speak, Lin Yang continued: “The game has just ended. I need to rest and prepare for the third stage. I’ll leave first.”

After that, Lin Yang turned around and left.

He didn’t bother the guy from Universe 364, nor did he say another word to Xingguang.

It’s not the right time yet.

Seeing Lin Yang leave so decisively and reject all invitations from the universe, the representatives of the universes present were a little regretful.

However, the regret did not last too long, and the representatives of the major universes dispersed.

Before coming, they had already mastered a lot of information and knew that Lin Yang had never accepted any invitation from any universe at the beginning.

It was not surprising to be rejected again now.

However, there are still some representatives of the universe who believe that Lin Yang will eventually choose to accept the invitation of a certain universe.

After all, with Lin Yang's strength, he can get a high ranking in the top 100 competition.

If he participates in the competition as a free player of a neutral universe from beginning to end, it will be a great loss!

As long as Lin Yang is not stupid, he will never participate in the competition as a free player after the start of the top 100 competition.

So they think that Lin Yang is still selling at a price, and is ready to increase his value again after entering the top 100.

Therefore, no representatives of the universe continue to pester and run to the villa area where Lin Yang's players rest to continue to invite.

Instead, they began to prepare for the third stage of the competition.

The third stage of the competition is the prelude to the real good show!

Anyone who advances will be among the top 100!

Each universe that advances is preparing seriously.

Only Xingguang felt a little disappointed, and went back to Yu Meng with a dejected look.

Although he had known that he would be rejected, he still felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

…

Eight days later.

"Please note that the third stage of the competition is about to start. Please go to your respective competition area immediately to compete in the third stage!"

The reminder of the start of the competition was heard again in the villa.

Lin Yang stopped fusing extraordinary substances and rushed to his own competition area.

This time his competition area was assigned to the sixth competition area.

In the third stage, there were only a hundred people in the competition area, and the degree of chaos was greatly reduced compared to the previous two times, but the difficulty of advancement was doubled!

Of course, this was irrelevant to Lin Yang. He started looking for his target as soon as he entered the venue.

And his target was the player of the 364th universe!
