Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Explosive Man slid the people who took the easy way out a condescending glare before muttering, “A bunch of trash.”

Meanwhile, Meng Hao’s forehead creased together at this sight. This competition was completely different from what he had imagined. His initial attempts at winning people’ heart had failed resoundingly, “At this rate, I can only try my best and become the champion. When I am crowned the cat king of Jiangmen City ...”

All these time, Yue Shan was hiding beneath his mask with his eyes fixed on Explosive Man. This apostle’s strength was far worse than he had assumed.

“He is exactly the same as Inspector Ho’s description. His power was equally strong in terms of destructive power, offensive capabilities and even agility. I guess he is my biggest threat to earning that title.”

Cat king of the north bellowed in laughter as he observed the people who chose to remain in the competition, “All right guys, this is your last chance. There is still time if you decide to give up now. Even though Li Li and I will be monitoring the remaining competition, we cannot guarantee that you will leave this competition unscathed. After all, this is war.”

Following his warnings, another two groups decided to heed his advice and left the competition.

Approximately 10 kilometers away stood a warship resting in the middle of the sea. Inspector Ho was inside watching the live telecast of the competition.

Every single inch of the island was monitored with a camera. They even employed drone cameras to serve as backup cameras. This allowed him to monitor the situation on the island perfectly.

Lin Chen’s forehead creased together when he realized just how tense the events had turned out. Initially, he was just dispatched here to alleviate the problem of manpower shortage. Seeing the situation, he could not help but commented, “Sir, is there really a need to make things so dramatic?”

“Yes,” Inspector Ho replied sternly, “If we were representing the government, it would be unwise to resort to such measures. However, the four cat kings are the ones under the spotlight right now. They belong to the dark side of the world of superpower. With them around, we can do anything we want.

Furthermore, this competition is supposed to act as a deterrent in the world of apostles and supercats. The champion should be someone that would cause your chests to tighten with fear. If it was just some simple tussle between them, what’s the point of even crowning the ultimate victor the cat king of Jiangmen City?

The champion must be someone who managed to overcome the entire bloodbath and remain standing at the end of the day. Only then would they submit to his rule.

And those who are unhappy with the entire organization and the four cat kings would simply jump onto our side at the end of the day.”

Meanwhile, Zhao Yao glanced at the pair of Liu Yun and her cat before whispering, “How is it? I strongly encourage you to quit this competition. You guys have seen it for yourself. This is extremely dangerous.”

...

The Serval cat balled her paws together before shaking her head violently. Her eyes glimmered with resolve as she announced, “I will follow King George!”

Matcha swung his head gleefully before whispering to himself, “I knew that some bitch out there would know how to appreciate just how great I am.”

Liu Yun rested her head against her hands and deliberated over the matter for quite some time. A tinge of hesitation flashed across her eyes as she spoke, “I will just be a burden if I join you. In that case, I’ll just ...”

Zhao Yao nodded his head with a smile plastered on his face. He thought, “Liu Yun is a smart girl. It would be so troublesome if she actually tagged along and dragged me down.”

He then fixed his eyes on the last remaining target, Xiao Yu, and asked, “How about you? Firstly, I have to ask you a question. Are you even an apostle? Do you have any abilities at all?”

“Lame. Obviously, I’m an apostle. I might even be stronger than you. Also, this is my shot at a rags to riches story.” However, Xiao Yu slid Fish Ball a condescending glare before instructing him, “Fish Ball, you are too weak. Without an apostle, I’ll encourage you to leave this competition. We will find you after winning this competition.”

Actually, cat king of the north’s announcement had already sent shivers running down Fish Ball’s spine. Xiao Yu’s words were simply music to his ears as he hurriedly escaped to the elimination zone. With all these powerful apostles surrounding him, Fish Ball felt like a rat caught between a pack of cats.

“Alright, I guess the remaining contenders are those genuinely interested in the competition. In that case, enjoy your rest while you can. The first round of elimination will commence in half an hour.”

Hence, Zhao Yao, Liu Yun, Xiao Yu, the husky, the Serval cat and the invisible Roly Poly gathered at a small fire which crackled and spat sparks at them. This brief respite was extremely short. Soon, half an hour had passed and the cat king of the north had returned.

“This will mark the start of the first round of elimination. Look around you! In the middle of this island stands a huge forest. I have scattered dozens of toy soldiers and cameras all over the place.”

“However, only 32 of these toy soldiers have a handmade sapphire embedded at the back of their heads. You will earn the qualification to proceed to the next round if you manage to retrieve the sapphire and make it back to the beach within one hour’s time!”

“You are allowed to snatch the sapphire throughout the course of the entire competition. However, there are two pointers that you must take note of.

Firstly, we will stop you if you resort to any methods which might potentially threaten your opponent’s life. From there, the aggressor will also be eliminated from the race.

Secondly, each pair cannot have more than one sapphire with them at any point in time. Anyone caught flouting the rules will face immediate elimination.

Each sapphire has been attached with our own GPS system. Furthermore, we have cameras strategically located at every corner of the island. Hence, do not even think about flouting the rules.”

A giant screen unfurled in the elimination zone as cat king of the north continued with his explanation. On it were all the footages captured by the cameras. You could even spot the toy soldiers with their rifles slung across their backs.

Tiny blue dots, which represented the sapphire’s location, were scattered all over the map. They were roaming aimlessly around the island alongside the toy soldiers.

Meng Hao’s pupils constricted as he whispered to himself, “In that case, even the apostles and supercats which are eliminated would be able to see the live telecast! This is the best opportunity to leave a good impression and attract people to join me!”

After given it much consideration, Meng Hao threw his hands in the air and asked, “Are we allowed to form alliances in this part of the competition?”

“Whatever floats your boat!” The cat king of the north cackled before continuing, “I don’t care if you form alliances or betray your friends as long as you do not kill anyone.”

Suddenly, another arm shot into the air as the Explosive Man roared, “What if we accidentally destroy the sapphire?”

Cat king of the north replied, “These are sapphires which I have created with my very own hands. I am fairly confident in their strength. However, if you are caught destroying the sapphires intentionally, you will also be automatically eliminated from the race.”

Explosive Man curled his lips in disgust and scoffed.

Zhao Yao threw his hands in the air and asked, “What if fewer than 32 participants managed to return with a sapphire at the end of the one hour?”

“The first round of competition will end at the one hour mark. Naturally, those without the sapphires will be disqualified.”

Zhao Yao nodded his head as a glimmer of excitement flashed across his eyes.

“Are they any more questions?” The cat king of the north swept his eyes across the beach. A moment of silence ensued before he raised his paw in the air and announced, “In that case, let the competition begin!”

Following his roar, the entire crowd dispersed from the beach and disappeared towards the forest.

As expected, Explosive Man was all the way at the front with air currents propelling him forward. He sprang from one place to another and was the first to enter the dense forest. The Siamese cat grabbed onto his neck for dear life as a frown crept up its face, “Why is this competition so troublesome?”

Yue Shan began pulling his two companions into the forest with the help of his psychokinesis. With their bodies levitating in mid-air, they too made their way into their objective.

The three of them entered the race alone, without their supercats.

Somehow, Yue Shan seemed to know where the sapphires were hiding and made a dash in a specific direction. Actually, he already knew the entire competition process at the back of his head as the predetermined winner. With his game-winning plan laid out in front of him, he went about executing it without a shred of hesitation.

Meng Hao carefully observed the situation as an alarm rang in his head, “These people are no pushovers. I guess I should pick a different direction instead.”

With that, he grabbed the white British Shorthair by his feet before calling on his two companions to enter the forest. To play safe, he chose a different route from Yue Shan and Explosive Man.
