Chapter 500: 1 Billion Contestants! The Prodigies From Every Nation!

The registration deadline for the Global Genius Exchange Tournament is 6:00 PM on November 1st, Universal Time.

When registration closed, Xu Jingming simultaneously received an email.

"S-rank, an official email from the Genius Tournament." Eva's voice rang out.

In the villa's training room, Xu Jingming, who was in the middle of training, immediately sheathed his spear, put on his neural helmet, and entered the virtual world.

"Welcome to the Global Genius Exchange Tournament, jointly hosted by the United Nations!

The two-month registration period has ended.

The total number of contestants participating in the Global Genius Exchange Tournament is 1,012,891,874.

This Genius Tournament will uphold the principle of absolute fairness.

All contestants' alloy weapons, battle suits, and battle boots are limited to S-rank.

Elemental weapons will have their power maintained at the level of high-grade elemental weapons.

Everyone's tier, physique, mental strength, and abilities will remain consistent with reality."

The moment he entered the virtual world, an email unfolded before Xu Jingming's eyes.

"This Genius Tournament actually has 1 billion participants?" Xu Jingming clicked his tongue in wonder after reading part of the contents.

Of the entire Blue Planet's 10 billion population, there are roughly 1.8 billion young people aged 16 to 27.

In other words, more than half of all adolescents and young adults have signed up for this Genius Tournament.

"How on earth did they manage to let 1 billion people fight simultaneously in the virtual world?"

The green-haired, twin-tailed figurine version of Eva on his shoulder still wore a face full of confusion.

1 billion people simultaneously unleashing combat techniques and abilities within the virtual world.

Even for a top-tier artificial intelligence, that is an absolutely terrifying amount of computation.

The email wasn't over yet, so Xu Jingming continued reading.

"This Genius Tournament, like those before it, is divided into the Apex Tournament and the Attack-Defense Tournament.

The Apex Tournament aims to select the single genius with the strongest combat power, and the competition is divided into two stages.

The first stage is the Qualifiers.

The Qualifiers are divided into 1,000 competition zones, with 1 million people in each zone fighting and battling together.

Each zone has 100 advancement slots, allowing entry into the second stage of the competition.

The second stage is the Arena Tournament.

The 100,000 contestants who pass the first stage will be selected through 1,000 chaotic arena battles, narrowing the field down to 10,000.

These 10,000 will then participate in one-on-one duels to determine the strongest apex genius!

The entire Apex Tournament will last one month, and once the Apex Tournament concludes, the Attack-Defense Tournament events will follow.

The Attack-Defense Tournament simulates frontline battlefield conditions, with a single person facing a surging beast tide alone.

All contestants will participate simultaneously; whoever can hold out the longest is the victor."

After reading the contents of the email, Xu Jingming's gaze flickered slightly, and his fighting spirit soared.

The Apex Tournament! The Attack-Defense Tournament!

These two major events will undoubtedly screen out the strongest prodigies of the entire Blue Planet from among the 1 billion young ability users participating!

Of course,

the entire competition process will also be extremely brutal.

Especially the Qualifiers, the first stage of the Apex Tournament, where 100 people are selected from 1 million.

A 1:10,000 elimination rate — it doesn't get more terrifying than that.

"All members of the Lei Ting Wu Guan Prodigy Training Camp, please gather at the plaza immediately."

At this moment, another email appeared in Xu Jingming's message bar.

The virtual world has been open for nearly two months now, and Lei Ting Wu Guan has basically figured out all its functions.

Even the instructors' lectures at the Prodigy Training Camp have shifted from offline to online.

"Sending a notice at this time — it must be a pre-battle mobilization."

His mind stirred, and Xu Jingming vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already at the plaza of Lei Ting Wu Guan's headquarters in the virtual world.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

One figure after another appeared in quick succession, rapidly filling the entire plaza.

Among them were Lin Hui, Xia Lan, and others, who, the moment they appeared, smilingly gathered around Xu Jingming.

"Xu Jingming......"

Wang Dong's figure also appeared, but after sweeping a glance at Xu Jingming, he looked away.

Recently, Xu Jingming has been very prominent, but as an S-rank ability awakener, his will is equally steadfast.

In this Prodigy Tournament, his results must be better than Xu Jingming's!

As for Chen Hai, the moment he appeared, he hurriedly shrank toward Wang Dong's side, afraid of drawing Xu Jingming's attention.

Huala—

Before long, on the ceremonial stage at the front of the plaza, Hall Master Su Qingli appeared together with the two Vice Hall Masters.

Behind them were the Prodigy Training Camp instructors, led by Hearing Ling Shuang.

"You are the members of my Lei Ting Wu Guan Prodigy Training Camp! You are also the top prodigies of Great Xia!"

Su Qingli's crisp voice rang out, her tone filled with authority and solemnity.

"In this Apex Tournament's 1,000 competition zones, my Great Xia has been allocated 100 of them.

The 10,000 who advance from these 100 zones will represent my Great Xia in battling the prodigies of other nations!

Our Tianjiao Training Camp has a total of 358 members. I demand that every one of you participating members pass the first stage of the selection trials!

Anyone who fails to be selected will be eliminated from the Tianjiao Training Camp!"

Su Qingli's voice echoed through this space, making even the heavens and earth faintly tremble.

Although the selection trials have an elimination rate of 1 in 10,000, there are quite a few low-tier ability users among them.

Some are even Awakened who have just awakened their abilities and have yet to advance to ability users.

And the members of the Tianjiao Training Camp are at least tier-four.

If they can't even pass the selection trials, then they truly should be eliminated......

"For the Global Genius Exchange Tournament, students who pass the selection trials will receive a reward of 20,000 credits!

Students who enter the top 50,000 of the Championship Tournament will receive a reward of 40,000 credits!

Students who enter the top 10,000 of the Championship Tournament will receive a reward of 60,000 credits!

Entering the Championship Tournament......"

Virtual world, Magic City Ability University.

Yang Zhentian, who had just become vice-chancellor, was also conducting his final pre-battle mobilization.

On the square below, all the students of Magic City University had gathered together.

Among the crowd, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both had burning fighting spirit on their pretty faces.

Their goal was very simple: pass the selection trials, and keep the gap between themselves and Xu Jingming as small as possible!

The Arctic,

On the boundless ice plain, a young woman with golden hair and blue eyes, tall and slender, was battling a fierce beast — an Ice Plain Giant Scorpion.

The Ice Plain Giant Scorpion is a King-tier fierce beast.

This Ice Plain Giant Scorpion, whose tier had reached mid-tier-six, was one of the great overlords of the ice plain!

Yet at this moment, it was being steadily driven back under the woman's sword, not daring to counterattack.

"Katherine, the tournament is about to begin. End the battle."

At this moment, an incomparably majestic voice rang out from the sky.

"Yes, Teacher."

A crisp yet resolute voice rang out, and a massive illusory figure of a six-winged Sacred Angel suddenly appeared behind the woman!

Whoosh—

With one sword strike, the sacred sword qi that pierced through heaven and earth split the entire Ice Plain Giant Scorpion in two.

"Having lain dormant for 26 years, Katherine, this Genius Tournament—

You will surely represent my Holy See and the United States, and give the entire world a tremendous shock!"

"Yes, Teacher." The woman's expression was calm, her voice still crisp and resolute.

"For the past year, the world has only known that Great Xia has Xu Jingming, and not known of me.

After the Genius Tournament, I want the world to know that I, Su Yu, am Great Xia's number one Tianjiao!"

Great Xia,

A young man with a wild and arrogant smile slowly put on his mental interface helmet.

The Global Genius Exchange Tournament was about to begin, and the whole world was watching this peak event.

Among them, there were top-tier Tianjiao who had been cultivated since birth.

There were lone rangers who had obtained ancient civilization inheritances and cultivated and adventured on their own.

Some had received the training of a tier-nine Martial Saint, a being from the supreme powerhouses!

Countless people were looking forward to the start of the Global Genius Exchange Tournament, hoping to prove themselves in such an event!
