Chapter 3 Life in the Starry Sky Chapter 22 Gathering
Mingyue City, night time.
Xu Jingming was walking with his wife in the community. There were obviously many residents in the community, and it was only a little after eight o'clock in the evening, but there was almost no one to be seen while walking.
"It feels like more and more people are staying at home now," Li Miaomiao said, "even taking walks less often."
"In the past, people walked to exercise their bodies." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Now, people are practicing the Evolution Method and their bodies are very healthy. Naturally, fewer and fewer people are walking! In addition, the entire Blue Star Alliance is guiding people to focus more on the virtual world and evolution."
Li Miaomiao nodded and glanced at the time on her watch: "It's almost time, let's go back, the World Martial Arts Competition will be held tonight."
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded.
"Hubby, why can't I sense that you're nervous?" 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 that someone stronger than me has appeared . It means that we have more masters on Blue Star." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "What's there to be nervous about?"
Facing the vast sea of stars, the Blue Star civilization is very weak, so naturally the more strong people there are, the better.
"What a vision!" Li Miaomiao raised a thumbs-up.
"Let's go." Xu Jingming smiled and took his wife's hand, returning home together.
They both returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, put on virtual helmets, and entered the virtual world.
…
The virtual world viewing platform now has an extremely popular live broadcast room - the official live broadcast room.
"This is the official live broadcast room of the virtual world." Li Miaomiao pointed and said, "I heard that this global competition has only this one live broadcast room in the world that can be watched."
"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Jingming and his wife nodded lightly and entered the live broadcast room.
The official live broadcast room is vast and boundless, with countless people from all over the world in the stands.
Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also sat down.
"One host and 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 saying, "There is still half an hour before the competition officially starts, but the number of people watching in our live broadcast room has exceeded 3 billion! I believe that the number of people watching online today will also set a new record."
Jin Fan, a guest from Xia Country, said with a smile: "After all, this is the first global competition since the virtual world was opened! And there is only one official live broadcast room to watch it. I estimate that when the competition starts, the number of viewers will exceed 5 billion."
Although the world's population exceeds seven billion and this is a competition that is watched and discussed by everyone around the world, it is estimated that there will still be people who do not watch it.
Annie, a guest from the White Eagle Federation, smiled and said, "I can't wait any longer. I want to see the competition begin! Among all the masters from around the world, which 32 masters will enter the main competition?"
"There are over 7 billion people in the world, but only 32 places for the finals, which means only one person out of more than 200 million people will win." Owen, a male guest from Rome, exclaimed, "Every one of them is like a monster."
The beautiful host was officially arranged by the Blue Star Alliance, and the three guests were from the three most powerful countries in the world today, namely, Xia Kingdom, White Eagle Federation, and Rome Kingdom.
"The virtual world was open for three months, and the three most powerful people in the world were recognized as Liu Hai, Tijano Sire and Xu Jingming. Now the virtual world has been open for more than ten months. Who are the three most powerful people? Who will be the 32 most powerful people?" said the beautiful host.
"I guess there will be a lot of changes in the top three." White Eagle Federation guest Annie said with a smile, "Maybe only one of Liu Hai, Tiyanno Xire, and Xu Jingming can make it into the top three of the competition, or maybe none of them can make it into the top three."
"I object."
…
The host and three guests talked about the top players from all over the world, which also caused the audience to talk a lot and they were all looking forward to their own players.
"Since Li Wenxiu was defeated by Xu Jingming, he has learned from his mistakes and has become more diligent in his training. According to his friends, he has already broken through to the fifth level."
"My master is Li Wenxiu's sparring partner, and he also said that Li Wenxiu's strength is unfathomable."
"The fools of Silla only know how to brag."
"When the people of Silla speak, just treat them as if they were talking in their sleep."
"Akinlov, ulala ulala!"
"Merritt! Merritt! Merritt!"
"Xu Jingming is invincible! Xu Jingming is invincible!"
In the comment section, countless comments floated by, and people from all over the world supported their own masters.
"The preliminaries are about to begin, please go to the preparation area." Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao heard the system prompt.
"The preliminaries are about to begin." Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other and said, "Miaomiao, come on."
"I'm just participating. You have to work hard." Li Miaomiao said seriously.
whoosh.
The two of them just clicked lightly and disappeared from 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 was excited and looked at the live broadcast screen. "Now 12,805 masters are in the preparation area, preparing their armor and weapons. The preparation time is three minutes. Once the three minutes are up, the preliminaries will begin!"
"The goal of the preliminary round is to select the 32 strongest players in the world," the host said. "I'm so excited."
"Look, the people appearing on the screen now are Liu Hai, Tiyanuo Xire, and Xu Jingming." Male guest Jin Fan said immediately. Although there were tens of thousands of contestants preparing armor and weapons, the live broadcast focused on those three people.
"Seven months ago, the three of them were recognized as the world's strongest three. How will they rank in the world now? Are they still at the top, or have they fallen from grace?" Male guest Owen also said, "Although we can't see their strength clearly in the preliminaries, we can still see some of it."
"After all, we need to select the strongest 32 people, so the preliminaries will be very intense," said female guest Annie.
…
Preparation area, huge space.
More than 10,000 people dispersed, and each prepared armor and weapons according to the system's prompts.
Xu Jingming also prepared his armor and weapons. The rules were the same as before, so he naturally chose double shields and a spear.
When Xu Jingming looked up, he saw his master Liu Hai in the distance. Liu Hai was burly and calm like a mountain, with his eyes closed, silently waiting for the game to begin. Xu Jingming turned his eyes again and saw the black youth in the distance.
Tijano Seerey.
Tiyanuo Xire was as tall as Liu Hai, and his body seemed to be made of black metal, and his aura was faintly terrifying. However, his eyes were somewhat 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 and they were spread out too far, he didn't see his wife Li Miaomiao for a while.
No more searching, just waiting patiently for the preliminaries to begin.
Liven Gullit, who was near Xu Jingming's right, was wearing thick fur and carrying a pair of sledgehammers. He was also thinking: "According to the Life Evolution Bureau, I am the only one in the entire Roman Empire who has entered the fifth level."
"I finally broke through two days before the competition started. My evolution method has not been perfected yet." Liven Gullit thought, "I must perfect my evolution method as soon as possible, otherwise the gap will be too big compared to other fifth-level people. For example, Xu Jingming next to me has probably fully reached the fifth level."
Riven Gullit glanced at Xu Jingming next to him. This man must be a strong rival.
"The preliminaries begin."
"Everyone, prepare to enter the battle space." A voice echoed throughout the preparation area, and all the masters were serious. "Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!"
The countdown is over.
All 12,805 people quickly left the preparation area and entered the battle space.
