Although the people in the Bone Symbol Camp were very curious about Zhao Hai, nobody actually said anything about his treatment . This was because his arrangement was given by the Camp Lord himself .
The Bone Symbol Camp was a very united group . Every member of the camp was very respectful of Desbarres . Therefore, when Zhao Hai was arranged to live in the level 4 area, nobody made a bad comment . Instead, everyone hoped that Zhao Hai could make accomplishments soon . This way, the Bone Symbol Camp could rise .
The people from the Bone Symbol Camp were also not strangers to Zhao Hai’s progress . They knew that Zhao Hai had just ascended for a month before being taken to the Bone Symbol Camp . And in the past two months, Zhao Hai had been adapting to the spiritual qi of the Machine Field .
When they first heard about Zhao Hai, the people in the Bone Symbol Camp couldn’t help but feel their blood boil . Zhao Hai being invited over to the camp a month after ascending was enough to show his talent . The people in the camp knew that their own talents weren’t that good . The current strongest expert in the camp was at level 5 . They simply had no superiority over the other camps . Because of this, they want Zhao Hai to progress quicker . This way, he could make the Bone Symbol Camp raise their heads high once more .
In the beginning, when the people from the Bone Symbol Camp saw that Zhao Hai was quite fast in adapting to the spiritual qi density, they couldn’t help but get worried . They were afraid that since Zhao Hai was getting preferential treatment, then he would become arrogant and complacent . But in the end, this thought quickly vanished .
Seeing Zhao Hai not leave his villa for two months made people shut up . And in place of worry, their feelings were replaced by anticipation .
It was common for Mages to close up for practice, but this would only take a few days . This was because they would need to take a few walks in order to unwind . Not only would stress not offer any advantages, it would also affect their mental state . And an unsteady mental state was detrimental to cultivation .

Generally, those who cultivate for extended periods of time were cultivators from the Cultivation Realm . They had methods that had high requirements when it came to mental states . Closing up for a long time was a method of training their mental state . By closing up for a long time, they would be able to polish their mental states . In turn, this would benefit their cultivation .
However, those cultivators had different methods compared to Mages . Although they didn’t want to, Mages had to recognize that their training methods were inferior to that of cultivators .
Now, Zhao Hai had grinded for two straight months . His mental state truly left the people from the Bone Symbol Camp ashamed .
Although it can be said that Desbarres and Tao Wang were often looking after him, achieving this point wasn’t easy . But what they didn’t know was that Zhao Hai spent the majority of his time inside the Space . He didn’t stay outside for a long time .
Two months had passed but Zhao Hai had yet to come out . However, the people from the Bone Symbol Camp didn’t have the time to think about him at this time . This was because the pentennial Six Realms Beginner Competition was approaching .
This so-called beginner competition was actually a life and death battle . This battle was held every 5 years . Only those who ascended in the last five years could participate in it . And people from the World of Cultivation were barred from entering .
This competition has been held more than 100 times . The goal for this competition wasn’t just for comparing skills, it was also resource allocation .

Although the World of Cultivation was seen as a huge treasure trove for resources, the true treasures of this world was actually very limited . Take ghost mithril, for example . One might see that Zhao Hai managed to mine a lot from Tyro Planet . However, if these ores were divided to those who needed it, then only a small number of people would be able to get their hands on the ore .
Things like the ghost mithril ore were very important for experts . This was because one’s cultivation would be improved once they get their hands on it . This was especially true for
those who practice Magic Theory .
Because of this, competition for resources among the people in the World of Cultivation went non-stop .
There were no obvious territorial lines between the six realms in the World of Cultivation . And in the borders between two powers, there were grey areas that both territories manage . However, there was actually no control over them . And the planets in these grey areas would sometimes have things that everyone needed .
In order to compete for these resources, people from the six realms fought repeatedly . Casualties in these fights were innumerable . In the end, the higher ups of the six realms knew that this couldn’t continue . Therefore, the six realms reached a consensus to hold an event every year for ascenders . The ones permitted to join this event were only those who ascended in the past five years . This way the participants wouldn’t be too strong . Additionally, if they died, then the loss wouldn’t be too big and no group would be seriously damaged .
Those who won the competition would have more jurisdiction over these grey areas for five years . And then five years later, another competition would be held in order to decide who would control these areas for the next five years .
And to those ascenders who attended the competition, the people from the six realms would make sure that they weren’t treated unjustly . Not only would these people obtain rich rewards, their influence and advantages would also increase . Some were even given a high-value mine . It can be said that the beginner competition wasn’t just a way for the six realms to establish borders, it was also a way for newcomers to become famous in a very short time .
Each time the Six Realm Beginner Competition happened, geniuses would come out of the woodwork . Although these people were from the lower realms and had ascended for no longer than 5 years, their cultivation levels were actually quite good . Some had even developed to become experts .
The competition was also a grand event where major forces compete for their interests . Although there would be countless loses and injuries, for the major powers, the gains far outweigh the losses .
As time passed, the Six Realm Beginner Competition became not just about vying for resources . It also became an event for realms to showcase their strength . So every time the beginner competition happened, everyone paid it attention .
And now, even if there was still a year left before the beginner competition, the qualifiers for the competition had already begun . All the forces in the six realms were beginning to compete on who would participate in the competition . The top 100 in the qualifiers of each realm would go to join the beginner competition .
Because of the rule that ascenders were the only ones allowed to enter the competition, the major influences of each realm didn’t have the means to participate . Take the Ashley Family, for example, their key forces were all members of their family . And thus, these members were natives to the Machine Field, with almost no ascender among their ranks . And even if ascenders managed to join their core forces, these ascenders couldn’t join since they had ascended for more than five years . Therefore, the core of each family had no way of joining the competition .
Therefore, in the Machine Feild, those who attended the beginner competition were certainly from External Halls . This was because, besides the few family members joining, each External Hall were made up of ascenders .
There were plenty of ascenders in the Bone Symbol Camp that had the qualifications to join the competition . However, they weren’t strong . The strongest among them was no more than level 2 . And those who were thinking of joining the competition were very little .
This situation didn’t stop the Bone Symbol Camp’s members from paying attention to the Six Realm Beginner Competition; especially those who had the requirements to attend . Although they weren’t strong, they still thought that they had the chance .
Zhao Hai was completely unaware of this matter . He just ascended to the Machine Field . And in addition to his time practicing, the times he accessed the net was very minimal . Therefore, he managed to miss information about this huge event .
Moreover, Desbarres and Tao Wang didn’t inform Zhao Hai about this matter . This was because the beginner competition carried an extremely huge risk . People would die in the most unexpected ways . Zhao Hai had ascended three months ago and was still adapting to the density of spiritual qi . Allowing him to join the competition was simply sending him to his death .
Although Desbarres knew that Zhao Hai had plenty of powerful Undead, allowing him to compete against level 4 Mages, he still didn’t think of having Zhao Hai join the competition . This was because Zhao Hai was the Bone Symbol Camp’s hope . Also, the Bone Symbol Camp wasn’t lacking in money nor resources . So he didn’t want Zhao Hai to take risks .
But even if Zhao Hai didn’t know, this didn’t mean that other people wouldn’t , especially Laura and the others . They surf the net every day in order to understand the Machine Field better . And how could the internet not include information about the competition? Not only was information available, the propaganda about the competition was overwhelming . There were even sites that wrote about the competition’s origins, its process, and its past results . Everything about it was expertly detailed . Therefore, Laura and the others were aware about this matter .
Needless to say, the Machine Field was at the bottom of all participants . After all, the strength of the other realms was focused on the individual while the Machine Field relied on mechs and battleships . Because of this, the Machine Field had no chance in winning the competition .
But this didn’t mean that they wouldn’t send participants . Conversely, the Machine Field would always send ascenders to participate . Although they would struggle against the other five realms, these participants were also fighting for their groups in the Machine Field .
The Machine Field was also using the Beginner Competition as the basis for the internal distribution of resources . Just like how the 100 final participants were handsomely rewarded, their groups would also gain a corresponding benefit . And if a participant did well, gaining good achievements, then their group would receive good advantages . Because of this, the Machine Field placed great importance on the competition . During this period of time, as long as one was online, they would definitely read about this event . And it was in this manner that Laura and the other learned about the entirety of the competition .
