Chapter 3 Life in the Starry Sky Chapter 20: The 31st World Martial Arts Competition
Virtual world, Life Evolution Department, headquarters conference room.
"Since 2052, our Blue Star held the first World Martial Arts Competition, and this year has been thirty years." The black middle-aged man sitting in the main seat smiled and said, "This year will be the 31st World Martial Arts Competition. According to the previous discussion, the 31st World Martial Arts Competition will be held in the virtual world starting on June 1st. Now is the final vote!"
"Agree." The middle-aged black man raised his hand first.
"agree."
"Agree." Everyone in the conference room raised their hands, except for two women.
"All representatives unanimously agreed to pass the final vote." The middle-aged black man nodded.
“Haha, even if it’s held in reality, there won’t be many people participating.” A representative laughed.
"Nowadays, some A-level and B-level martial arts competitions cannot be held. People are used to the life-and-death struggles in the virtual world, and they don't like the many rules and restrictions in the real world, and the use of some special safety weapons. Many professional players are unwilling to participate."
"As humans evolved, their strength and speed increased greatly, and the rules of competition in the past are no longer applicable."
Each representative talked about the current problems of the World Martial Arts Competition.
They are representatives of the five major council countries, as well as representatives of other parts. As for the Minister of Life Evolution, he is from a small country. After all, if a representative of the five major council countries becomes the Minister, the other four council countries will object!
"The 31st World Martial Arts Competition will be held in the virtual world. This is due to the reality and the expectations of countless people around the world." The black middle-aged man continued with a smile, "Only by holding it in the virtual world can the event be grand enough! All masters from all over the world will have the opportunity to participate."
"Well, the various screening levels make me look forward to it."
"Virtual world competitions are still more interesting."
Everyone was talking.
"Virtual world competitions are certainly interesting. In reality, you only have one life." The middle-aged black man laughed, "Various competitions require various safety measures and the conditions are also limited. In the virtual world, you can use your imagination to set up competitions! For example, in the universe, the distance between planets is far, and the distance between different cosmic civilizations is even farther... Only the virtual world network can allow so many civilizations to gather and participate in the same competition."
"This World Martial Arts Competition is the last competition for our Blue Star's top talents before they come into contact with the universe," said the black middle-aged man. "After this competition, the top talents will have the hope of becoming stellar beings. At that time, their journey will be to the sea of stars."
The other representatives also nodded.
"So this competition is also a rare opportunity for them to hone their skills. With the help of the competition, the more people who enter the fifth level, the more successful our competition will be ." The middle-aged black man looked at the two women sitting at the table in the conference room, "So this competition will also arrange for two masters trained in the early years to participate."
The other representatives all looked at the two women.
"The two of them are Yesharova from the Rakshasa Country , and Madeline Logan from the White Eagle Federation." The middle-aged black man introduced.
Both women smiled and nodded.
Yesharova is a fair-skinned woman who looks as if she is eighteen or nineteen years old, like a doll, and her smile is contagious.
Madeline Logan has short black hair, deep eyes, and a naturally cold look.
"Catfish effect." The middle-aged black man laughed, "I hope that Yesharova and Madeline Logan can give enough deterrence to the world's top masters and give them enough tempering effect."
"It's my honor to contribute to the Blue Star civilization." Yesharova nodded.
"I will do my best to hone this group of top talents," said Madeline Logan.
After all, the number of masters who are secretly trained in a small range around the world is small, and their talents are relatively inferior.
And now that the global virtual world is open, only those with the most talent and potential among more than five billion people are selected, and their future prospects are much greater than Yesharova and Madeline Logan. But now, the two women who have practiced for a longer time are enough to deter.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of strength those geniuses will be able to display when they meet you two masters." These representatives also knew about this plan.
Yesharova and Madeline Logan had even quietly entered the fourth-level Star List, but they were ranked outside the top 50 and were not very noticeable.
…
On May 1st, the virtual world officially released a message.
"The 31st World Martial Arts Competition will be held in the virtual world? Anyone who has reached the 'third level' worldwide can sign up to participate?" Liu Hai discovered this world announcement while taking a break in the personal space martial arts training ground.
This made Liu Hai's eyes light up.
"A world martial arts competition held in the virtual world?" Liu Hai's heart was filled with excitement.
His feelings towards the 'World Martial Arts Tournament' are very deep and complicated.
He encountered this competition when he was middle-aged, and participated in the first to fifth World Martial Arts Competitions! Later, when he became the head coach of the national team, he also trained his disciples to participate in the World Martial Arts Competition.
He can say that he has been dealing with world martial arts competitions for half his life.
"This is the first World Martial Arts Competition held in the virtual world. I will definitely participate." Liu Hai's eyes were fiery. "However, it will be much more difficult to get the world's first place this time than in the past."
"People like Tie Lianyun and Gao Chong, who were once the world's number one, may not even be able to get the 32 places in the main competition now." Liu Hai also felt emotional.
In the past, martial arts competitions were limited in scope.
It also depends on the physical condition. If you are in your prime when you are young, you will perform very well. But if you are old, injured, or have to retire, you will have to retire.
But what about now?
After human evolution, they can generally maintain their peak condition and compete on a global scale!
"Luckily, I finally broke through to the fifth level three days ago." Liu Hai thought, "There is still a month left, so I should give it a try!"
…
Personal space martial arts training ground.
It was snowing heavily and the temperature was extremely low. Xu Jingming stepped on the snow and stabbed the incoming arrows with his spear again and again!
As time goes by, the temperature continues to drop and it gets colder and colder.
"call."
Xu Jingming's planetary life was perfect, and his body had a strong ability to withstand cold weather. He resisted the ever-decreasing temperature and concentrated on performing the Rainbow Spear Technique. At this time, his mind and will were completely integrated into the spear technique, which reduced the impact of the cold.
During this process, Xu Jingming didn't pay any attention to the world announcement.
"Puff, puff, puff..." Xu Jingming naturally used the combo gun technique, which was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he stabbed out eighteen consecutive shots! Xu Jingming, who had reached an incredible level of control over power and speed, used the power of the previous shots to gradually increase the power of each shot, especially the eighteenth shot, which had a qualitative change in power.
In the wind and snow, the arrowheads of high-speed arrows were pierced, turned into nothingness, and dissipated.
"Eighteen consecutive hits!"
Xu Jingming reached the fifth level for more than a month and found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to improve his control over his body. He had the inheritance and knew that all this was normal, so he could face it calmly. At the same time, he practiced the Rainbow Spear Technique more devoutly and was now able to perform eighteen consecutive strikes!
"Jingming, Jingming--" Li Miaomiao crossed the void and came directly to the martial arts training ground. She was the only one who could come here without being invited.
"Miao Miao." Xu Jingming stopped practicing.
"Have you seen the world announcement?" Li Miaomiao asked.
"I was doing the ice training method and didn't pay attention to the outside world." Xu Jingming said, "What world announcement?"
"On June 1, in one month, the 31st World Martial Arts Competition will begin." Li Miaomiao said immediately, "This is also the first World Martial Arts Competition held in the virtual world. The scale is many times larger than in the past. Anyone who has reached the third level in the world can sign up."
"World Martial Arts Competition?" Xu Jingming had heard the news from Director Zhou a long time ago. "It's finally coming!"
