Mingyue City, at night.
Xu Jingming was walking with his wife in the community. There were obviously many residents in the community, but it was only after 8 o'clock in the evening, but there were almost no people to be seen walking.
"It feels like people are getting more and more homebound now." Li Miaomiao said, "Even walking is much less."
"Walking used to be for physical exercise." Xu Jingming smiled, "Now that I practice the evolution method, my body is very healthy. Naturally, fewer and fewer people take a walk! And there is also the guidance of the entire Blue Star Alliance, allowing people to focus more on the virtual world , focusing on evolution."
Li Miaomiao nodded, and looked at the time displayed on the watch: "It's almost time, let's go back, the World Martial Arts Competition will be held tonight."
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded. .
"Husband, why can't I feel your nervousness?" Li Miaomiao asked doubtfully, "After all, the virtual world has been open for ten months, and maybe new masters will emerge."
"It's a good thing to have someone stronger than me. It means we have more blue star masters." Xu Jingming smiled, "What's there to be nervous about?"
Facing the starry sky and the sea, the Blue Star civilization is very weak. Naturally, the more strong the better.
"There is a pattern!" Li Miaomiao raised her big finger.
"Let's go." Xu Jingming also pulled his wife back home together.
Both of them returned to the bedroom, put on the virtual helmet while lying on the bed, and entered the virtual world.
*****
The virtual world viewing platform now has a very popular live broadcast room—the official live broadcast room.
"This is the official live broadcast room of the virtual world." Li Miaomiao pointed, "I heard that this global competition is the only live broadcast room in the world where you can watch it."
"Go in and have a look." Xu Jingming and his wife entered the studio with a light touch.
The official live broadcast room is vast and vast, and there are countless people from all over the world in the stands.
Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also sat down.
"One host, three guests?" Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao saw it at a glance.
At this time, the beautiful host on the commentary stage was smiling and said: "There is still half an hour before the official start of the competition, but the number of people in our live broadcast room has exceeded 3 billion! I believe that the number of online viewers today will also create a new one." record of."
Jin Fan, a guest from Xia Kingdom, said with a smile: "After all, this is the first global competition since the opening of the virtual world! And only the only official live broadcast room can watch it. I estimate that when the competition starts, the number of viewers may exceed 50." 100 million."
Although the global population exceeds 7 billion, it is a contest that attracts worldwide attention and is discussed by everyone, but it is estimated that some people will not watch it.
Annie, a guest from the White Eagle Federation, said with a smile: "I can't hold it anymore, I want to watch the competition begin! Among the masters from all over the world, which 32 masters will enter the main competition?"
"There are more than 7 billion people in the world, but there are only 32 places for the main competition, which is equivalent to only one out of more than 200 million people." Owen, a male guest from Rome, exclaimed, "Everyone is like a monster."
The beautiful host is the official arrangement of the Blue Star Alliance, and the three guests are from the three most powerful countries in the world today: "Xiaguo", "White Eagle Federation" and "Rome".
"The virtual world has been open for three months. At that time, it was recognized that the three strongest people in the world were Liu Hai, Tiano Xilei and Xu Jingming. Now that the virtual world has been open for more than ten months, the strongest three? The strongest 32 Who will they be?" said the beautiful host.
"I guess the strongest three will undergo great changes." White Eagle Federation guest Annie said with a smile, "Perhaps only one of Liu Hai, Tiano Xilei, and Xu Jingming can enter the top three of the competition. They may not even make it to the top three.”
"I object."
…
The host and the three guests talked about the top masters from all over the world, which also made the audience talk a lot and look forward to their own masters.
"Since Li Wenxiu was defeated by Xu Jingming, he realized his shame and became more courageous. He practiced harder and harder. According to his friends, he has broken through to the fifth level."
"My master is Li Wenxiu's training partner, and he also said that Li Wenxiu's strength is unfathomable."
"The fools in Silla know how to brag."
"When the people of Silla speak, just treat them as if they were talking in their sleep."
"Akinlov, Ula Ula!"
"Merritt! Merritt! Merritt!"
"Xu Jingming is invincible! Xu Jingming is invincible!"
In the comment area, countless comments floated by, and people from all over the world supported their own masters.
"The preliminaries are about to start, please go to the preparation area." Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao heard system prompts.
"The preliminaries are about to begin." Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other, "Miaomiao, come on."
"I'm just participating, you have to work hard." Li Miaomiao said seriously.
Whizzing.
With a single touch, the two disappeared in the official live broadcast room.
At this moment, more than 10,000 registered masters are heading to the preparation area one after another.
"The preliminaries of the 31st World Martial Arts Competition are about to begin." The beautiful host cheered up and looked at the live broadcast, "Now 12,805 masters are in the preparation area, preparing their armor and weapons. The preparation time is three minutes, and every three minutes is full , the preliminaries will begin!"
"The goal of the preliminaries is to select the 32 strongest people in the world." The host said, "I'm so excited."
"Look, the ones on the screen are Liu Hai, Tiano Xirei, and Xu Jingming." The male guest Jin Fan said immediately, although tens of thousands of players were preparing armor and weapons, the live broadcast screen focused on those three people .
"The three of them were recognized as the strongest three in the world seven months ago. Now, how will they rank in the world? Are they still at the top, or have they fallen to the altar?" The male guest Owen also said, "Although the preliminaries I can’t see their strength clearly, but I can see part of it.”
"After all, we have to select the strongest 32 people, so the preliminaries will be very intense." said female guest Annie.
…
Preparation area, in a huge space.
More than 10,000 people dispersed, and all of them prepared armor and weapons under the prompt of the system.
Xu Jingming also prepared his own armor and weapons. The rules were the same as in the past. Naturally, he still chose double shields and long spears.
As soon as he looked up, Xu Jingming saw his master Liu Hai in the distance. Liu Hai was tall and calm like a mountain, closing his eyes and silently waiting for the game to start. Xu Jingming turned his gaze again and saw the black youth in the distance.
Tiano Sirey.
Tiano Xirei was about the same height as Liu Hai, his body was made of black metal, and his aura was faintly terrifying. It's just that his eyes were relaxed and casual, and he was also looking around. When he saw Xu Jingming, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Xu Jingming also nodded and smiled. He also looked around, but because there were too many people scattered, he didn't see his wife Li Miaomiao for a while.
No more searching, and quietly waiting for the preliminaries to start.
Riven Gullit, who is near Xu Jingming's right side, is wearing thick fur and carrying a pair of sledgehammers, and he is also thinking: "According to the Life Evolution Bureau, I am the only one who has stepped into the entire Roman state. Fifth step."
"I finally made a breakthrough two days before the start of the competition, and my evolution method has not been 'successful' for the time being." Riven Gullit was thinking, "I must complete the evolution method as soon as possible, otherwise I will be compared with other fifth-orders. Thinking about it, the gap is too big, for example, Xu Jingming next to me probably has reached the fifth level in all respects."
Riven Gullit glanced at Xu Jingming next to him. This must be a strong opponent.
"The preliminaries begin."
"Everyone is ready to enter the battle space." A voice echoed throughout the preparation area, and all the masters were solemn, "Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!"
As soon as the countdown ends.
The 12,805 people all left the preparation area and entered the battle space.
