Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670: It’s Starting

Above the void, those ten chess pieces kept enlarging, ultimately transforming into expansive platforms.

Of course, although these chess pieces became quite large, they were still nothing compared to the entire chessboard of the Jewel Tower Chess Setup.

However, the ten towering, mountain-like chess pieces hovering in the air gave Wyatt Barnes a strong visual shock. "Such huge chess pieces, floating in the air... are they images within an illusionary formation?"

It was only when DonovanTasker spoke again, instructing everyone present to go onto the ten gigantic chess pieces in the sky, that Wyatt realized that the enormous floating chess pieces were not ordinary images from an illusionary formation.

When he landed on them, he even felt as if he was standing on solid ground.

"What kind of formation is this?"

Wyatt’s heart was filled with shock, "To think an illusionary formation could appear so realistic."

Although Wyatt prided himself on knowing some formation techniques, the formations he could set up paled compared to this one that created the Jewel Tower Chess Setup.

"Even the ’illusionary formation’ that my current illusory array plate can set up is nothing in front of this illusionary formation... Who on earth set up this formation, that it is so powerful?"

Wyatt’s heart was full of shock.

In the past, he had come across three array plates at Moon Radiance Sect by chance and had only used the one that could set up illusory formations.

As for the other two array plates, so far, one has yet to be repaired, though the other is nearly fixed. According to Elder Fire, it would be fully repaired in at most half a year.

However, with the Splendid Fairy Sword and the Demon Sealing Monument in his possession, Wyatt didn’t rely much on the array plates and never felt the urgency.

Even though Elder Fire mentioned that, provided sufficient power, the three array plates would greatly aid him.

Of course, Elder Fire also said that the assistance offered by the three array plates was nowhere near as significant as that provided by the Splendid Fairy Sword... The difference being, the Splendid Fairy Sword consumes a lot, whereas the array plates require no expenditure of internal energy.

Thus, even if Wyatt wasn’t reliant on the array plates, he still hoped Elder Fire could fix them, for there could be a time when they became useful.

"This illusionary formation is way too realistic, isn’t it?"

"Unbelievable! I feel like I’m actually standing on the chess piece... When I squat down and reach out, I can even touch it! Just what is this illusionary formation that it is so magical!"

"It’s apparent that the chess pieces under our feet aren’t real, but even if they’re not real, some power has formed to support us like chess pieces... In my life, this is my first time seeing such an illusionary formation, making it worthwhile."

"Are these ten chess pieces the battlefield for the Overleaping Rankings tournament?"

...

Voices of excited discussions echoed around, snapping Wyatt Barnes back to reality, and his attention returned to DonovanTasker.

Although there were two hosts for the Overleaping Rankings tournament, since Castiel Mullins had not spoken except for his self-introduction, DonovanTasker had become naturally recognized as the host by everyone present.

Castiel Mullins seemed to be almost forgotten, as he quietly stood beside DonovanTasker, serenely facing everything before him.

"Everyone, the ten chess pieces before you are indeed the battlefield for the Overleaping Rankings tournament... You might consider them as ten separate ’platforms’, and from these ten platforms, ten ’platform masters’ will emerge!"

At this moment, DonovanTasker’s voice echoed once more.

"Anyone eligible to participate in the Overleaping Rankings tournament can challenge any platform master. As long as you defeat them, you can replace them and become the new platform master."

"Any of the ten platform masters who go unchallenged for a day will automatically advance, gaining qualification to participate in the real Overleaping Rankings tournament... If you fail to become a platform master, you won’t qualify to participate in the actual Overleaping Rankings tournament."

...

DonovanTasker continued speaking.

The real Overleaping Rankings tournament!

Although this sounded a bit exaggerated, it wasn’t inaccurate.

Even if the upcoming days could all be considered as the Overleaping Rankings tournament, over ninety percent of them were destined to be unrelated to the Overleaping Rankings, as each historical edition only included ten people, and this time was no exception.

Only the final ten platform masters could be listed in the Overleaping Rankings.

In other words, the final battle among the ten platform masters was the true Overleaping Rankings tournament, as they contended for their specific ranks in the Overleaping Rankings.

"Now, please step back to the edges of your respective chess pieces to vacate the central areas... Then, anyone who meets the criteria can step into the center of the chess piece, become a platform master, wait for your opponents, or challenge the current platform master."

DonovanTasker’s voice came forth once again, and immediately, people began retreating to the edges of the ten chess pieces.

In the meantime, the vast central areas of the ten chess pieces cleared out as well.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

At this moment, ear-piercing sounds of wind whistling were heard as five people from Surge Hayden’s group and five from another, totaling ten, appeared above the ten chess pieces, overseeing everything below.

It seemed like the ten individuals corresponded to the ten chess pieces, monitoring the scenarios upon them.

"Together with Second Elder Castiel Mullins from Surge Hayden, we are the chief hosts for this edition of the Overleaping Rankings... As for them, they are the deputy hosts for this edition, each responsible for one chess piece, or one ’platform.’ Aside from assessing the ages of the participants, they ensure fairness on each platform."

DonovanTasker said.

This revelation brought everyone to an understanding.

Earlier, many people wondered how the Overleaping Rankings tournament, divided into ten simultaneously active stages, could manage twenty individual blabez matches happening concurrently.

Even if DonovanTasker and Castiel Mullins were overseeing, could they manage to intervene timely if multiple crises arose?

There was skepticism from many regarding this.

Now, seeing ten deputy hosts, enlightenment dawned, realizing that Surge Hayden and DonovanTasker had already prepared everything without needing concern.

"Is it finally beginning?"

Wyatt Barnes murmured under his breath, standing at the edge of one of the black chess pieces.

The sword held in his arms was none other than the ’Splendid Fairy Sword,’ one of the celestial treasures concealed within the Jewel Tower.
