Chapter 930: Challenge Hong Dali!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From now on, it would really be an all-out fight. After all, if the Red-levels won, they would be able to be promoted. If the Orange-levels lost, they would directly be demoted!
Although the Orange-levels and the Red-levels were just one level apart, the difference in treatment between this one level was extremely huge, not comparable at all!
Simply put, the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats could only barely be considered to be an Honorary Aristocrat. But those Orange-level Honorary Aristocrats would gain true recognition of their status. Once the Orange-levels got demoted, the shame they would face was imaginable.
Therefore, because of this kind of super-huge pressure, every Honorary Aristocrat would try their best to fight their way up the pyramid.
It was just like swimming in the sea against the current, you either move forward or be pushed backward.
In this entire hall, Hong Dali was the most relaxed. He wasn’t very concerned about this matter anyways, the reason he became an Honorary Aristocrat at first was mainly that the color of the cape was golden, it was very good-looking...
“Then...” Since the rules had been announced, the emcee looked around and said, “The competition shall now start!”
Then, the names of the Orange-level Honorary Aristocrats, which had about 120 plus of them, immediately started competing too.
“BUZZ—!!!” Countless sparks flashed again and a total of 60 plus Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat names were eliminated.
60 plus people were eliminated for this round!
Instantly, the names that were eliminated moved down a level, mixed around, then split into 32 pairs.
“Competition start!”
Again, a series of sparks flashed and 32 people were eliminated again!
“It has finally begun.” The Honorary Aristocrat beside Hong softly said, “Let’s see who will be demoted this time.”
Now, the body of the 32 people who lost twice in a row almost collapsed. If they lose in the challenge...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough this scene was extremely cruel, this was a stage that aimed to choose the most outstanding ones, after all, benevolence was of no use here. The emcee loudly said, “Then, the challenge shall start now! The first challenger, make your appearance.”
The cruelest challenge had started!
The first challenger was the Red-level Honorary Aristocrat, Aristocrat.Junhao (Li). The one being challenged was Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, Aristocrat.Gaoge!
Everyone held their breath, the entire hall was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
Although the atmosphere for the assessment of the Red-level Honorary Aristocrats just now was very nervous too, it ended in one shot. But now, the assessment was done pair by pair, which caused the people involved to feel even more pressurized. And the result of this atmosphere was for everyone to be pressured to work harder next time so that they wouldn’t face elimination next time!
“Challenge, start!” The emcee loudly shouted.
“BUZZ—!!!” Lightning flashed, and the background of the challenger changed to orange color, while the background of the challenged changed to red color!
Challenge succeeded!
Swoosh—!!
The cape of Aristocrat.Junhao was originally red in color, but after the challenge succeeded, the color of his cape directly changed to orange!
And for the originally Orange-level Aristocrat.Gaoge, the color of his cape changed from orange to red! The current him didn’t even dare to lift his head as his whole body trembled, looking really tragic.
“This is too tragic, he got demoted just like this. Sigh, I reckon his assets will shrink by at least half.”
“That’s right. More importantly, being successfully challenged in a situation like this, this will have a huge impact on his confidence. There were countless people like him who didn’t overcome this setback and wasted away, sigh.”
“Isn’t that so. The most tragic one was a few years ago when a Blue-level Honorary Aristocrat got successfully challenged and lost his confidence. In the end, he practically got demoted every year. In just a few years’ time, he wasn’t even an Honorary Aristocrat anymore, that was really pitiful.”
“There’s nothing to pity about. This is like crossing a bridge that only allows one person to pass, if you don’t move forward, you will sooner or later be squeezed out of the bridge by the people behind.”
Seeing the Red-level Honorary Aristocrat from their side succeed in the challenge, Li Tianxing laughed towards Jiang Qianxue and said, “Hehe, I am really sorry, I shall take the lead first, haha.”
“You this bastard!” Jiang Qianxue was so angry that she almost bit her teeth till they broke. This Li Tianxing was really detestable!
Although this challenge was within the rules of the competition, it was within their own family last time. But now, Li Tianxing interfered with this by participating with his people too. That was really detestable!
Li Tianxing was very proud of himself, but Li Xuancheng was an old fox, after all, so he only insipidly said, “Not bad.”
“Chey, you are just being sarcastic,” Jiang Dongliu humphed and said coldly. Although he didn’t mention anything about the challenge, he definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable that his side was losing.
After the first pair ended, the emcee instantly shouted, “Next pair, come on stage!”
The challenges behind were practically the same as the first. Some people were happy while some were not. Out of the 32 challengers, 13 people from the Li Family succeeded, but only three from the Jiang and Yin Families succeeded. Combined together, they coincidently made up half of the challengers.
Out of the 16 people who got demoted, at least 10 of them were from the Jiang and Yin Families. It could be said that they suffered a heavy loss.
Actually, losing a few Honorary Aristocrats wasn’t a big deal, but it really didn’t look good on their face.
Therefore, just like this, the challenges moved on to the next level and the next. Some succeeded while some failed, and most of the ones who failed were from the Jiang and Yin Families’ side. The people that Li Tianxing brought here were holding a huge advantage all along.
Orange-level, Yellow-level, Green-level, Cyan-level and all the way to Purple-level, from one level to the next, the whole contest could practically be described as a path of blood and tears. No matter who succeeded in the end, all of them practically killed out a blood path behind them to succeed, they were practically the model of what it meant by one person’s success was built on the corpses of thousands.
As for Purple-level advancing to the next level, they practically had no chance—all of the Purple-levels who challenged the next level failed.
“Lucky, it’s not too bad.” Jiang Dongliu breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good as long as there aren’t any changes to the Black-level Honorary Aristocrats. If any of them are challenged and succeed, that will be a heavy loss.”
It was no wonder that he was worried, each and every Black-level Honorary Aristocrat cost great efforts and resources to groom. If any of them got demoted, it would be a great loss for the Jiang and Yin Families.
Now that the challenge for the business side was over, next was the main show of the advancement assessment—
The challenge of the Double Honorary Aristocrats!
Simply put, normal Honorary Aristocrats were still quite easy to groom, but the Double Honorary Aristocrats were all true talents. If any of them lost and got demoted, it would be quite a pity.
“Advancement challenge for the Red and Orange-level Double Honorary Aristocrats shall now start!” The emcee loudly announced: “A total of 16 people are participating. The winner of the first round shall move on to the next round, the loser will stay the same. The winner of the second round will obtain a chance to challenge the next level.”
This time, in the golden pyramid, all of the people there had their head portraits there. After all, the number of people this time was quite small, so each of them was able to clearly show others what they looked like.
Very quickly, after waiting for the entire hall to be silent, the emcee loudly said, “The duel shall now start!”
“BUZZ—!!” After this sound, eight of the 16 people were directly eliminated.
Eight of them obtained to chance to continue the assessment.
“Second round, start!” This time, four were eliminated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, it was finally time for the main show—the chance to challenge the next level!
“The competition for the Red and Orange-level Double Honorary Aristocrats has ended.” The emcee loudly shouted, “Next is the Red and Orange-level challenge to the Orange and Yellow-level! There are a total of 12 people for the Orange and Yellow-level, the four Red and Orange-level challengers can choose the person you want to challenge now. Remember, you only have one chance. If you fail, then sorry, you lose your chance to promote this time.”
The challenge to promote was about to start!
Instantly, everyone looked towards the area where the Double Honorary Aristocrats were in. But moments later, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Hong Dali who was sitting there playing with his bird—
“Challenge Hong Dali! Challenge him, he’s the easiest. You will definitely succeed if you challenge him!”
“Yes yes yes, challenge this guy! You will definitely succeed!”
These people were those who were just watching the show.
On the spectator stand, Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong shared a look, then sighed in unison—it looked like there would definitely be quite a number of people who would challenge Hong Dali this time. Would it happen that all four of them challenge him?
At this moment, the emcee had already started to introduce the four people who had the chance to challenge the next level—
“Aristocrat.Jinglun, Red and Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Li Family, male, 27-years-old.”
“Aristocrat.Lean, Red and Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Li Family, male, 29-years-old.”
“Aristocrat.Mingda, Red and Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Jiang and Yin Family, male, 31-years-old.”
“Aristocrat.Gaojie, Red and Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, belongs to the Li Family, male, 26-years-old.”
Out of these four people, only one of them belonged to the Jiang and Yin Family. This ratio really caused them to be very depressed—the difference was too great.
Currently, everyone was waiting to see who would these four people choose to challenge.
After all, they only had one chance to challenge the next level. If they failed, they could only wait for next time.
“Then, may the first challenger Young Master Aristocrat.Jinglun choose your target,” the emcee loudly said.
Very quickly, from the Double Honorary Aristocrat area from the Li Family’s side, a person stood up and slowly walked to the center of the hall. He looked at the information of the 12 Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrats and lastly, as expected, his eyes were fixed on Hong Dali!
“Hehe, I shall choose him. I heard that he is a superprodigal, hahaha!” Aristocrat.Jinglun pointed at Hong Dali’s head portrait, laughed loudly and said, “Since I am the first one to challenge, I shan’t waste such a good chance. Sorry to those behind me!”
