Chapter 1023 -1023: Arrangement
While the three were talking, Lin Shen had already finished off his opponent with a single strike.
With this victory, Lin Shen has won ninety-seven matches in a row. The opponents have been getting stronger, but still, no one is able to withstand his spear.
After nearly a hundred consecutive wins, he smoothly entered the ranking battles, where any player who hadn’t achieved ninety-seven consecutive wins was directly eliminated.
The elimination round didn’t require each contestant to battle one another; it was purely an elimination mechanism until only a little over a million people were left to enter the ranking battles.
Being able to enter the ranking battles meant already being eligible for some resources as a reward. However, such rewards were trivial to Lin Shen.
A lower Divine Artifact of the most common quality wouldn’t be worth his time to collect if the Smart Brain didn’t deliver it directly to him.
Suddenly, Lin Shen had a thought: “Ying, do I have the authority to set the prizes?”
Ying was the name Lin Shen gave to the Smart Brain, as it was specifically responsible for the Cosmic Toughest Divine Being tournament. Aside from this, it had no other permissions, so Lin Shen casually named it Ying.
“Of course, you have the authority to change any setting of the competition. However, the current prize standards have been in place since the beginning. Are you sure you want to change the prize settings?” Ying responded.
Lin Shen reviewed the prize list and saw that the first place reward was directly a resource planet; second place could also receive a Divine Artifact of Divine Beast quality, but the level was random; third place could only receive a lower Divine Artifact reward of Divine Beast quality.
In addition to this, there were fixed resource rewards, with those mentioned being extra rewards exclusive to the top three.
The ranking battles were still based on elimination, with any loss resulting in immediate elimination.
Lin Shen made light use of his authority to directly pair Wen Bujun and Pan Xiaoning together, prompting them to battle it out fiercely against each other first.
If by some chance they were both seriously injured and perished in the competition, having two powerful adversaries out of the way would secure his first-place victory.
Even if they didn’t die, Lin Shen could still arrange a hellish schedule for the remaining opponents, facing them off against the toughest competitors, making it extremely difficult for them to win.
He, on the other hand, would arrange weaker opponents for himself, advancing easily and leisurely, staying rested to deliver the final blow to his adversaries.
“Sorry to the both of you. Though we have no grudges, I have to take first place in this competition.” Lin Shen paired the two up in the first round of the ranking battles, feeling a deep apology for both of these strangers he had never met.
As for the opponent he arranged for himself, it was even simpler. He filtered out any contestants who had previously made it to the top five hundred in the toughest competitions, then randomly picked one.
“Wu Xiaoming, looks like a standard extra, let’s go with him.” Lin Shen glanced at a name and made his choice.
This person had no battle record and seemed like a newbie Xiaobai. Coupled with the name, he appeared to be a candidate for one-round elimination.
After setting things up, Lin Shen left the competition area and returned to his own planet to feed his four Little White Tigers.
He named them White Wine, Lustful, Wealth, and Qi, echoing the Chinese words for wine, lust, wealth, and anger.
It’s not that Lin Shen was covetous of these things. As the saying goes, wine is poison for the gut, lust is a knife to the bone, wealth is a lurking tiger, and anger is a seed of disaster.
Lin Shen simply wanted to use the names to remind himself. Whether he could resist these temptations was one thing, but maintaining the right attitude was a start.
The special Little White Tiger was now named White Wine, and Lin Shen usually just called it Wine.
Xiaoyu was copying the introductory chapter of the Peerless Divine Skill next to him, casting annoyed and disdainful glances at Lin Shen who was busy feeding the four Little White Tigers with a baby bottle.
Both of them were following Lin Shen, why should he alone be so hardworking and complaining yet get nothing in return.

Xiaoyu felt an urge to slam down the pen in rebellion, angry enough to revolt.
But the pen, lifted high, gently fell back down, as he consoled himself inwardly: “I am of a highly intelligent race, how can I stoop to the level of those ignorant beasts.”
White Wine was growing exceptionally fast; it’s now almost a head taller than Lustful and the others, and it looks almost as big as a regular tiger.
However, in front of Lin Shen, Wine still acted like a spoiled little kitten, constantly nuzzling its head against him.
Lin Shen held White Wine’s head, feeding it Aberrant Liquid. This guy’s appetite was getting bigger and bigger, only a bit less than Death Powder’s from before.
“Seeing that its size is not bad, I wonder what its combat strength is actually like.” Lin Shen couldn’t see their Attributes, so he could only guess internally, contemplating whether to register them for the competition to test the waters.
The Celestial Court held special pet competitions, where victory could also earn one decent resources. He just didn’t know which events would be most suitable for them.
While Lin Shen was feeding Wine and the others, the Divine Beings participating in the Lower Group competition were in an uproar.
It was only the first round of the ranking battles, but Pan Xiaoning and Wen Bujun were unexpectedly matched against each other, an unprecedented event.
In previous contests, the matchups seemed somewhat predictable. Top seed players like them were unlikely to meet so early. This time it exceeded everyone’s expectations.
This secretly filled many people with anticipation; if those two were to both end up in a mutually detrimental fight, others might seize the chance to aim for the top of the leaderboard.
Neither Pan Xiaoning nor Wen Bujun expected to encounter each other so soon.
Pan Xiaoning looked at Wen Bujun, to find Wen Bujun was also looking at him.
“No way, the bet we made earlier doesn’t count, we rely on our own skills now.” Pan Xiaoning had lost a bet to Wen Bujun before and was supposed to forfeit voluntarily, but now he was reneging on it.
It was only in front of Wen Bujun that he could act so shamelessly.
Wen Bujun just smiled and said, “Okay, introduce your sister to me. Forget the previous bet, or I could jLet you win outright.”
“Get lost.” Pan Xiaoning squeezed out a word through clenched teeth.
Seeing no advantage to be gained from Wen Bujun, Pan Xiaoning’s eyes darted around, then he said with a laugh, “Don’t get too happy too soon. Maybe Tian won’t even make it past the first round, and you won’t have the chance to face him.”
Saying that, Pan Xiaoning searched for Tian’s name, wanting to see who his opponent was.
Although Wen Bujun didn’t believe Tian would fail to pass the first round, he still turned his gaze to the matchup list.
When the two of them saw the name of Lin Shen’s opponent, they both paused in surprise.
“Wu Xiaoming… which Wu Xiaoming… it’s not that guy is it…” Pan Xiaoning’s expression changed slightly.
“Wait a minute, let me check.” Wen Bujun dialed his communicator, connecting with several people, and his expression grew more serious.
“It’s him… Wu Xiaoming…” Wen Bujun put down the communicator and said to Pan Xiaoning with a serious face.
“What’s going on? The matchups this time are so bizarre. We bumped into each other in the first round, and Tian happens to be up against Wu Xiaoming, that ghost-like guy…” Pan Xiaoning suddenly laughed, “This is good, let’s see to what extent that guy Wu Xiaoming has grown. As Tian’s opponent, he should be forced to reveal some of his true ability.”
