Chapter 1159: Chapter 338: Power of Gai (2-in-1)
The countless viewers who just entered the live streaming room couldn’t help but send the first barrage of the day, sparking the first wave of excitement in the chat area.
[Ice Sea Monster Moon: First!]

Seeing the enthusiastic comments, Song Luo’s smile deepened, “Today is the qualification round of the ‘Divine Court Cup’ exchange competition. The qualification round will select the top 1,000 contestants from the previous 10,000 contestants and rank the remaining 9,000 who are eliminated.”
“As long as you make it into the top 10,000, you can earn varying amounts of alliance points based on your ranking. Even the person in the 10,000th place will receive a full fifty thousand alliance points!”
Even before the competition registration, it was known that the alliance point rewards for this competition were substantial, yet countless viewers were still amazed by the generosity of the alliance at this moment.
10,000th place also gets a solid fifty thousand alliance points?
Then the total alliance points all contestants receive must be at least over a billion!
For a moment, the barrage became even more lively, and countless viewers expressed their shock and anticipation through comments.
Song Luo’s expression remained unchanged as he quickly opened his mouth, “Let’s briefly introduce the specific schedule of today’s qualification round…”
Since the detailed competition rules were announced after yesterday’s preliminary round, Song Luo just briefly repeated them before swiftly moving on to the main topic.
“There are ten minutes left before the competition begins.” He pointed to the live stream that had switched to an aerial view, “We can see that the contestants, originally scattered across the floating islands, have now gathered together.”
In the live stream, all the contestants appeared in a single battle arena, with 10,000 contestants gathered together, looking a bit crowded.
And standing in front of them was one person.
The head of the Blue Star Alliance, the president of the Beast Tamer Association, the legendary Beast Tamer—Shen Yunshan.
“To ensure fairness, the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm used for the first round of power scoring has been completely cleared,” Song Luo quickly explained, “Before the competition officially starts, it will be personally overseen by President Shen, and will open when the first round of the competition begins.”
The camera quickly shifted to a close-up of the precious mirror held by Shen Yunshan.
This precious mirror sealed the entrance to the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm.
“Due to the special nature of the secret realm, the live signal will be interrupted once contestants enter.”
Song Luo paused slightly, glancing at the complaints in the chat, “But don’t worry, the intelligent machinery responsible for filming will be divided into work and replacement groups, taking turns to enter the secret realm for filming. Every group of intelligent machinery that leaves the secret realm will bring us first-hand videos of the contestants inside.”
Seeing that the event organizers had corresponding measures, the complaints soon disappeared.
Subsequently, Song Luo continued to introduce the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm to the viewers in the live streaming room.
In a flash, ten minutes passed.
The qualification round officially began.
On the floating island, golden light patterns suddenly appeared beneath Shen Yunshan’s feet, weaving quickly in the void, and five figures stepped out from the void.
These were all his contracted immortal-grade pet beasts, except for the newly contracted sixth pet, which did not appear since it had not yet broken through to the immortal grade.
As Shen Yunshan summoned his pet beasts, the scene quickly quieted down.
“Everyone,” Shen Yunshan spoke calmly, his voice spreading in all directions and clearly echoing in the ears of every contestant, “Today is the qualification round stage of the ‘Divine Court Cup’ exchange competition, and now the first round of the qualification round, the power scoring match, is underway.”
After speaking, Shen Yunshan raised his hand and threw the precious mirror he was holding. Under the influence of an invisible force, it froze in the air.
The five immortals each channelled their power to open the entrance to the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm sealed in the precious mirror, transforming it into a portal blooming in the void.
“The power scoring match is conducted within the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm. Now, all contestants enter the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm!” Shen Yunshan commanded, leading the charge with the five immortals into the realm.
Subsequently, the 10,000 contestants present all filed in, and besides them, the intelligent machinery workgroup responsible for filming entered as well.
The inner workings of the secret realm were not considered large for contestants who made it into the top 10,000.
Soon, all the contestants regrouped before the Secret Realm Core—a towering 100-meter Heavenly Stele.
Shen Yunshan had already arrived ahead of them.
“Begin stepping forward one by one to attack the Heavenly Stele. Each contestant has only one chance!” Shen Yunshan spoke calmly, “Proceed in order of contestant number, starting with the first!”
As Shen Yunshan finished speaking, contestant number 00001 quickly stepped forward.
It was a monarch-grade fire-type exotic beast that did not hesitate to unleash its strongest attack, striking heavily against the Heavenly Stele.
“Boom!”
With a massive explosion, an energy storm surged in all directions, accompanied by a billowing heatwave, and the ancient patterns on the Heavenly Stele lit up one by one.
Until no more patterns lit up, Shen Yunshan’s voice slowly emerged.
“Power Scoring: 769 points! Next!”
The first contestant turned to leave, and a ball of light quickly emerged from the Heavenly Stele, merging into that contestant’s body, slightly enhancing their power.
Although not much, it was better than nothing.
With the second contestant, number 00002, already prepared, they quickly stepped forward while the other contestants reflected thoughtfully.
Observant contestants already noticed that when the first contestant attacked, exactly 769 patterns lit up. It seemed the scoring was based on the number of patterns that lit up.
