Chapter 2423 The Young Talents Have Returned
“Huh? It has to do with me as well?”
Levi was likewise puzzled.
“In order to have the group of young talents adapt better and faster to the new era as well
as gauging their capability, we need everyone to duel them for assessment purposes,”
Edmund explained.
“How will that work?” Zoey questioned.
“We’ll select fighters from the Provisional and Divine Leaderboard for them to challenge
one by one until they’re defeated. With that, they’ll understand everything about the new
era and also know how their capability ranks on either of the leaderboards.”
“I get it now! We’ll be acting as training partners for them! We’ll be the threshold that
they’re going to challenge in order to know where they stand! For instance, I rank a
hundred on the Divine Leaderboard. If they defeat me, their capability is within the top
hundred. But if they fail to do so, they don’t rank within that list.”
Edmund nodded in assent. “Yup, that’s right! We’re generally setting the bar at the
fighters ranking ten thousand, five thousand, and a hundred on the Provisional
Leaderboard. In actual fact, we can just skip the Provisional Leaderboard since it will be a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpiece of cake for them to break into the Divine Leaderboard. We only want to let them
have a look at the capability of those on the Provisional Leaderboard so that they have a
general understanding of it. Anyhow, the top fifty on the Provisional Leaderboard is more
crucial since it’s the backup list to get into the Divine Leaderboard. It’s to roughly test
whether they’re capable of making it into the Divine Leaderboard.”
Then, he continued, “After much deliberation, we all think that Levi should be the fighter
for that rank. He ranks eleven on the Provisional Leaderboard, so he’s the most suitable
candidate.”
Hearing that, Levi was dumbfounded. “Huh? Are you sure?”
So, they want me to do that? Isn’t that equivalent to using a sledgehammer to crack a
nut?
The challenge against the fighter who ranked the top fifty on the Provisional Leaderboard
was the easiest for the young talents.
However, it would be the most difficult if they were to choose Levi.
It would be even more difficult than to defeat the fighters who ranked top ten or first on
the Divine Leaderboard.
In fact, it would be impossible!
That was the reason Levi sought confirmation. After all, selecting him was tantamount to
impeding everyone from progressing from the very beginning.
“Of course! You’ll be the first round they challenge for real. Okay, it’s decided, then!”
Edmund declared. “There are a few members of the Lopez and Black families who rank at
the bottom of the Divine Leaderboard, so they’ll be representing its threshold and be the
second round. As for the top five hundred, Kinsley and the others will be the threshold.
Meanwhile, the top three hundred will be the fourth round, whereas the top one hundred
will be the fifth round.”
Then, he continued, “After making it into the top one hundred on the Divine Leaderboard,
they’ll be ranked further. Kirin, Floyd, you both have to join the challenge as well.
According to my estimation, thirty to fifty of the young talents will make it into the top one
hundred. Thus, they’ll have to be ranked closely. As such, all fighters here must
participate! Even I will be joining the action at that time!”
He had arranged everything perfectly, just waiting for the group of young talents to finish
their training and join the tournament challenge.
Levi didn’t care about it either way.
At that time, I’ll just defeat all one hundred of them and keep them out of the Divine
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeaderboard!
That would mean that none of them would be able to make it into the Divine Leaderboard.
Nonetheless, he wasn’t bothered at all.
Well, who asked them to pick me to accept the challenge? Anyhow, it’s good to train the
hundred of them. At first, I actually thought that they had all been decimated by Lab of
Gods.
A few days later, the first phase of Eragon’s top-secret plan drew to an end.
Consequently, the group of young talents came out of seclusion, mainly to test their
capabilities this time.
After that, they would be resuming the top-secret plan.
“It’s been close to three years! I wonder how the outside world looks like now!”
“I heard that many fighters have been born, ranked according to the Divine and
Provisional Leaderboard.”
“Our instructors said that most of us should be ranked top three hundred on the Divine
Leaderboard, and a third of us will be ranked top hundred!”
“Ah, I’m really looking forward to it!”
Similar sentiments drifted into the air, one after another.
After the hundred young talents stepped out of seclusion, anticipation was written all over
their faces.
