The cross-rank challenge started!
Everyone watched with their hearts in their mouths.
Hong Dali’s success in challenging a Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat, was it luck? Or was that his real strength?
Of course, none of that mattered now. The important thing was that there were nine Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats in front of him now! They were all at the Yellow and Green level! In other words, whether he was lucky or powerful would soon be revealed!
“He must be lucky. It must be luck!” Everyone on Li Tianxing’s side secretly prayed. “He will definitely fail. His luck can’t always be that good. He must fail!”
“He must fail. He’s just a mere Orange and Yellow-level Double Aristocrat. How can he defeat everyone?”
The Jiang family and Yin family thought differently.
“Succeed! You must succeed! Although it’s impossible for you to defeat everyone, please don’t lose too badly!”
“That’s right. At least defeat a few Yellow and Green levels and prove your strength. That will be tolerable!”
As everyone watched, Hong Dali’s projection moved.
Everyone’s hearts instantly thumped like mad as if they were pounded on by a wooden gavel.
Although they were not personally in the challenge, it did not prevent their moods from getting affected.
Hong Dali’s projection approached the first Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat. After a flash of lightning, the results were soon revealed. The Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat’s projection faded! Hong Dali won in the first challenge!
“Lucky. He must be lucky!” Li Tianxing’s people murmured. “The second one will destroy him!”
The Jiang family cheered. “Good job, Hong Dali!”
Hong Dali’s projection proceeded. Soon, he reached the second Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat.
Hong Dali won again. The second person was defeated!
Everyone held their breaths. They no longer dared to believe that Hong Dali was merely lucky. After all, luck could explain one victory, maybe two. However, Hong Dali had defeated the third person in a row now, if his initial challenge was included. How could that be luck?!
His journey continued and he reached the third Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat in the pyramid.
Ten seconds. Lightning flashed. Everyone’s hearts jumped.
The third Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat fell. Hong Dali continued. Everyone stared in bewilderment.
The fourth person, faded. The fifth person, faded. The sixth person, faded.
By then, everyone was completely stunned. This Hong Dali, could he really be capable of challenging all the Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats?
Soon, they were presented with the answer. When the ninth Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrat’s projection faded, the host’s voice trembled. He could not suppress it any longer and announced at the loudest voice he could muster, “Young Master Dali, succeeded in his challenge against all nine Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats! Challenge success! Challenge success!”
The entire place erupted!
“He... he really won against all nine Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats?! Is... is this real?!”
“He must be cheating, right?! How can he be so strong? I don’t believe it. I won’t believe it! Isn’t he a prodigal?!”
“Am I dreaming? How can he be so strong?! He’s a prodigal! A prodigal! Are Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats not even capable of defeating a prodigal?!”
Li Tianxing turned pale. “That... that’s not possible! It’s impossible! Hong Dali is known for being a prodigal! How long has it been since he became a Double Aristocrat? He can challenge all the Yellow and Green-level Double Aristocrats now?!”
Even Jiang Dongliu was in disbelief. “This Hong Dali. Is he really so strong?!”
Everyone was completely stunned.
This was... real? They rubbed their eyes. The faded row at the bottom of the pyramid proved that this was real to the audience. After all, the statistics could not lie! Furthermore... at the end of the advancement assessment, everyone’s business data would be revealed!
In the break period, everyone turned to look at Hong Dali. He was hugging the ugly bird and sleeping again. “Hu... hu...”
“This guy is sleeping again...”
“Nope. I can’t take this. You can’t traumatize people like this!”
As they thought about the situation, the host continued his announcement. “Next, the challenge continues! In this round, Hong Dali will challenge all the Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrats!”
Swoosh—
A flying disc appeared below Hong Dali’s projection. He was now levitated to the Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrats’ row, two meters above the ground.
Everyone was somewhat prepared when Hong Dali challenged the Yellow and Green-level Aristocrats. After all, he already won a challenge previously. Therefore, although they did not want to believe the outcome, it was still acceptable for them.
Now, at the Green and Turquoise level...
“The gap between the Green and Turquoise level and the Yellow and Green level is huge. Hong Dali will surely fail this time!”
“That’s right. No Green and Turquoise-level Aristocrat will be an easy target. He will lose for sure! My guess is that he won’t even make it past his first opponent.”
The audience discussed quietly. However, they all stared at the center of the arena.
Yin Tianzong clutched his fists. “Dali, go! You must screw him up! Hahaha!”
“Fail. Fail!” Li Tianxing’s fists turned white. “Hong Dali, you’ll definitely fail in this round!”
“Then,” The host scanned the arena and yelled, “Challenge start!”
Hong Dali’s challenge against the Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrats started!
Hong Dali’s projection waltzed forward. Soon, he reached the first Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrat. Everyone’s hearts were in their mouths. Could he succeed?
BUZZ—
Within a split second, Hong Dali succeeded in his challenge against the first Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrat!
Everyone was shocked!
Nobody expected Hong Dali to succeed in his challenge against a Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrat!
“Oh my god. He really succeeded. I must be dreaming. I must be...”
“He really succeeded. That’s a Green and Turquoise-level Aristocrat. Hong Dali was just recently promoted to the Orange and Yellow level!”
“Is this real? He really succeeded?!”
It was no wonder that people were stunned. Why had there never been a successful cross-rank challenge in the advancement assessment? It was because of the huge gap in strength between each level.
For example, the average Red and Orange-level Double Aristocrat had a net profit ratio between 90% and 120%. After all, when you had a business worth ten million dollars and above, it was difficult to create an annual net profit of around 100% within a year. It was a short time frame. Although many companies started with capitals of a few million dollars and blossomed into hundred-million-dollar companies in decades, they had a long time frame.
However, the advancement assessment evaluated your net profit ratio within a year. In such a short time, a Red and Orange-level Aristocrat would be considered top-tier if he could achieve a ratio of 120%.
The higher levels, such as the Orange and Yellow level, was expected to achieve a ratio of 110% to 140%. For the Yellow and Green level, 130% to 170%. And for the Green and Turquoise level, 160% to 200%!
A net profit ratio of 200% in a year. What concept was that?
A company worth thirty million dollars must create a net profit of sixty million dollars within a year. What was the net profit? It was the remaining sum after deducting costs from the total profits! One must earn sixty million dollars!
How terrifying was that?!
However, Hong Dali succeeded in his challenge against a Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrat?!
Nobody was laughing now. This Hong Dali was too scary!
“This... this...” Li Tianxing stared with extremely wide eyes. Hong Dali really succeeded in a cross-rank challenge?!
It was obvious that Hong Dali was serious about this challenge—he moved his feet again!
The second Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrat kneeled down after ten seconds! The third one continued to kneel. The fourth one still kneeled!
Hong Dali was like an invincible and unstoppable general in this pyramid! Wherever he headed, his opponents surrendered! There was no doubt at all. Hong Dali defeated all his opponents. Within an instant, all eight Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrats faded!
“Cough cough cough.” Jiang Dongliu almost choked on his own saliva. “Did I see wrongly? Succeeded in all his challenges against Green and Turquoise-level Aristocrats?!”
Those were the Green and Turquoise-level Aristocrats! They all lost to Hong Dali just like that?!
This result was like a nuclear bomb! It detonated in the crowd!
This Hong Dali was known to be a prodigal, yet he succeeded in his challenges against all the Green and Turquoise-level Double Aristocrats! This was already a legend. A full-fledged legend! An Orange and Yellow-level Double Honorary Aristocrat succeeded in all his cross-rank challenges in the business area!
Which other Honorary Aristocrat in the audience could do this?!
“Oh my goodness. Dali is unreal!” Yin Tianzong stared in bewilderment at the pyramid in the center of the arena. His mouth was open so wide that you could stuff an ostrich egg in it. “Dali is too amazing. He defeated all the Green and Turquoise-level Aristocrats!”
Cross-rank challenges all succeeded! This was a miracle!
The other Honorary Aristocrats in the audience broke down. “This... is too much, right? This is cheating! He must be cheating!”
All the faces of the Honorary Aristocrats turned green.
They were just mocking Hong Dali for being overconfident. However, their words were slapping themselves in their faces within an instant. Regardless of whether Hong Dali succeeded against the other opponents, these two rounds alone proved his strength!
It was not an overstatement to say that even if Hong Dali failed later, he could still be proud of himself.
After all, it was not so easy to succeed in all cross-rank challenges, let alone crush his opponents. For the Double Aristocrats at the same level, some could possess a net profit ratio of 200%, while some could only be at 160%.
Hong Dali crushed all his opponents. In that case, his strength...
Even the Black and White-level Double Aristocrat Li Haokong, one of the only five in the entire Milky Way, was surprised!
