Omni-Mastery

Chapter 260 - The Bonus

After another wonderful night of sleep, waking up just at 9:30 AM to catch the start of today's battles at 10 AM.

Though the participants of the bonus round were just those who didn't make it through the first two rounds, meaning that I had no reason to leave that early, I still decided to head there from the very start of the day…

After all, there was no telling when the bonus round will be done since it's a miniature battle royale that would involve an all out war, who knew if the five strongest yet unluckiest teamed up to finish the rest of the newbies in five minutes or so?

Besides, I was quite interested in how it would go, just in case there was a similar round in the next stages…

Getting ready in a few minutes with the help of my 'Spatial' devices, I soon left the 'Hotel' and headed towards the colosseum in a bit of high spirits.

`~~`~~`~~`

"Alright, the specific information about the bonus round has been finally confirmed for the unlucky 499 participants who didn't make it through the first two rounds…"

"According to our calculations, it seems turned out that the number of last standers that will announce the round's end is…"

'Hmmm…'

"Exactly 10 participants!"

'Only 2%, huh?'

It turned out that they would only allow 10 participants in out of 499 ones, so it might take longer than expected, as for why 10 exactly, it was probably a coincidence that happened due to the numbers of both 'Qualified' and 'Seeded Participants'...

"Are we all going to fight in one of these small rings…?"

"Of course not, such a big battle can't possibility take place there, just wait and you will see…"

As if they were just waiting for someone to ask this question, two yellow robed men whose faces were hidden, suddenly jumped down from the normal viewing platform and simply gestured  with their hands as the ground started to…

"Stage three earth masters!"

Someone from the watchers said out loud as the ground between the five rings started to rise, merging them together as they started to take the shape of one big ring!

'Average stage three practitioners…?'

Seeing that it required the two of them to move around a bit to complete the whole modification, it wasn't hard to tell that the diameter of their 'Elemental Domain' wasn't that big, but I wasn't completely sure as the elemental third stage seemed to hold quite a lot of mysterious of its own…

In fact, even the Tier-7~9 weapon mastery wasn't that easy to know everything about, not to mention the very wide domain of elements that developed different ways of use depending on you 'Elemental Art', your own attribute as well as your degree of talent…

"Here you go, this will be the stage at which the bonus round will take place, this round will start in ten minutes, please be ready by then…"

Leaving some of the participants a bit surprised at what happened alongside the one who asked the question from the beginning, the organizer left the platform through the door to let the bonus round participants do their preparations…

`~~`~~`~~`

"Stop!"

'That didn't take too long…'

"Only 10 contestants are left standing, with this, the bonus round has come to an end brining an end to the 'Qualifiers' stage, anyone other than the 177 who are counted as qualified at the can leave starting now as there will be no more chances to move on, as for the qualified, the explanation for the next stage will begin in an hour to leave time for the rings to be recovered to their original shape, as well as helping the injured and those who have passed out during the bonus round…"

The bonus round which had a total of five hundred participants fighting for the limited ten positions had actually ended in a mere 1 hour and a few minutes…

The reason for that was due to one of the scenarios I thought about coming true, there were indeed other strong yet unlucky participants other than that martial artist guy…

"These monsters only lost to meeting other monsters during the first two rounds, they were just a bit unlucky that's all…"

From the talks of the few friendly participants who were discussing about the 10 who won, it seemed like the three contestants who didn't fight within themselves and only worked on getting rid of the newbie mob were in the same boat as the fire fist guy, as they supposedly lost to the fire swordsman and the earth practitioner who caught quite a bit of attention during the first two rounds…

The six other contestants weren't as special though, they were only a bit lucky to be the last targets by the four 'monsters' allowing them to ride on the opportunity and qualify for the second stage…

'Whether they manage to have similar luck is questionable though…' 

After all, the next stage will have sect members joining the 'Show Off tournament' who would be also fighting quite seriously for the chance to achieve a good ranking and receive rewards from their respective sects, which meant that those who got in through luck and had powers below a certain standard were likely to get out quite early…

'That is if the second stage is a knockout one as well…'

As it seemed that this round was going to be a bit different according to how they required a certain number of contestants to be in the following round, but even then, it only meant that they those below standard will only fight more losing battles…

'Not that it matters to me though…'

All that I wanted was for this boring 'Show Off tournament' to finally come to an end so I could finally proceed with my future plans…

'I miss Light…'

Even though I had already acquired the blood pearl, I couldn't use it now due to the possibility of any phenomenon taking place, not to mention that there was the possibility that…

'Huh?'
