Chapter 518: The arena melee grouping!

Wang Mang's death involves Xu Jing, an SS-rank, and Wang Zhen, a Rank 9 Martial Saint, and even the behemoth that is the Leiting Martial Arts Hall.

The ordinary Public Security Bureau has no way to handle it, nor do they dare to.

Only the National Assembly of Great Xia can define the nature of this matter.

The National Assembly convenes only on the 20th of each month; today is the 11th, so there are 9 days left until the assembly convenes.

Even if Wang Zhen is anxious to convict Xu Jing, he has no choice but to wait nine days.

Therefore, the matter of Xu Jing killing Wang Mang can be considered temporarily concluded.

The Global Genius Exchange Tournament's Peak Tournament is divided into two stages.

The first stage, the preliminary round, selects 100,000 contestants from the 1 billion participants worldwide.

The second stage, the arena tournament, is further divided into arena melees and one-on-one duels.

Great Xia time, November 12th, 12:00 PM; there are 12 hours left until the arena tournament begins.

In the virtual world, all the contestants from across Blue Star who advanced to the second stage suddenly appear in an extremely spacious conference hall.

Xu Jing and the students who advanced from the Leiting Martial Arts Hall's Genius Training Camp are also inside.

"Hiss, does this mean all 100,000 contestants from around the world have been gathered here?"

Lin Hui scans the surroundings and immediately discovers a large number of psychics with foreign appearances.

"100,000 people! This conference hall is truly huge." Xu Jing also sighs in a low voice.

In the real world, building a conference hall this large would be extremely difficult, even with the cooperation of Earth-element psychics.

"The arena melee afterwards will have a full 100 million spectators; that venue will be much more spacious than the current one."

Xia Lan, on his right, says with a smile.

"100 million spectators, what a magnificent scene that must be?" Xu Jing's eyes are also filled with anticipation.

In the preliminary round, because the number of participants was so large, the computational load involved was simply too great.

Therefore, one can only see the rankings from the outside and cannot watch the contestants' performances in real-time.

But the arena tournament is different; with only 100,000 contestants, the computational load is greatly reduced.

Therefore, it is possible to let 100 million people watch the contestants' battles live on-site.

Back when he participated in the National University League, the tens of thousands of spectators already made Xu Jing feel shocked.

With 100 million spectators, the experience will surely be vastly different.

However, the number of viewing spots allocated to Great Xia among them is only 10 million.

The remaining 90 million are reserved for other countries on Blue Star.

With Great Xia's 2 billion people, 10 million tickets are naturally not enough to go around.

The tickets were released yesterday and were snatched up instantly.

He also obtained 100 tickets in advance because he is a contestant himself.

He distributed these tickets to his aunt, Song Song Qiuyun, and the others.

Those without tickets can only watch the broadcast; although they can see the contestants' battles,

they have no way to obtain an immersive viewing experience.

"By the way, Jing, does that matter with Councilor Wang really have no impact on you?" Xia Lan asks.

In her beautiful eyes, which are like sapphires, there is a faint worry.

Wang Zhen is a Rank 9 Supreme after all; although Xu Jing is an SS-rank psychic awakener, his influence is still lacking.

"Teacher Su told me not to worry, so I haven't paid much attention to it," Xu Jing says thoughtfully.

Only Rank 9 councilors can participate in the National Assembly.

He has no qualifications to participate, let alone express his thoughts and opinions at the meeting.

Now he can only wait until the National Assembly ends on the 20th to see what the final handling opinion is.

However, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, Wang Mang was at fault first, and Teacher Su is helping him speak up and exert effort.

"That's good." Xia Lan finally breathes a sigh of relief and nods slightly.

For the past two days, posts about this matter have almost dominated the headlines of the entire Genius Training Camp.

She also just learned that Xu Jing actually has two girlfriends.

And in terms of beauty and figure, they are not inferior to her, and even slightly better...

"Silence!"

A grand voice suddenly rings out, and a sturdy man over two meters tall appears in the very center of the conference hall.

The sturdy man sweeps his gaze across, and the powerful pressure immediately makes the entire conference hall quiet down.

"The preliminary round is over; you 100,000 people are the most outstanding genius psychics on Blue Star!"

"Some of you come from large countries with numerous people, while others come from small countries with few people!"

"You represent a city, a country, or even a nation!"

"However, the preliminary round is just the beginning; the arena tournament that follows is the focus!"

"Only by achieving a ranking in the arena tournament can you let people all over the world see the light you radiate!"

The sturdy man's magnificent voice echoes in the conference hall.

He is speaking a foreign language, but when it reaches everyone's ears, it is translated into the corresponding language.

These words of his make the group of geniuses feel hot-blooded, their eyes flashing with brilliance.

Especially some contestants from remote countries; a country might have fewer than 10 contestants total.

They represent the glory of a country!

"The arena tournament is divided into two parts; the first part is the arena melee.

You 100,000 people will be divided into groups of 100, totaling 1,000 groups, to conduct arena melees respectively.

In each melee, the 10 people who survive to the end will advance to the second part, the one-on-one arena battle."

As the voice falls, the geniuses on-site begin to discuss in low voices.

1,000 groups, with 10 people advancing from each group; this means that the arena melee alone will eliminate 90,000 people!

"I estimate I have no way to pass this arena melee," Xia Lan says with some helplessness.

Most of the 100,000 contestants who advanced to the second stage are Rank 5 or Rank 6 psychics.

As a Rank 4 upper-level, her probability of advancing is extremely slim.

"My possibility is slightly higher, but it also depends on luck."

Lin Hui also shakes his head. "If there are a few more Rank 6s in my group, then I also have no way to advance."

Among the 10,000 contestants from Great Xia who advanced, there are a full 423 Rank 6 psychics.

If scaled proportionally to the 100,000 contestants who advanced worldwide, that means there are over 4,000 Rank 6s!

Divided into 1,000 groups, there will be an average of four or five Rank 6s in each group.

And his level is only Rank 5 middle-level; if facing an ordinary Rank 6 psychic, he might be able to maneuver a bit.

But psychics who can make it to this step basically have strength that is not too bad.

It is simply impossible for him to succeed in a cross-rank battle.

"It seems that among us, only you, Jing, will definitely be able to advance."

Lin Hui sighs.

It's just a pity that he is 25 years old this year, his age just happens to be in an awkward position.

If the genius tournament had started two years later, then he might have already entered Rank 6...

"Now, assigning the arena melee groups!"

Swish—

A virtual number appears in front of everyone.

Xu Jing is '856', Lin Hui is '134', and Xia Lan is '352'.

"It seems the three of us are not in the same group," Xu Jing says with a smile.

The arena melee will not put contestants from the same country all together.

Instead, they are mixed, which is relatively fairer.

Therefore, it is very difficult for these members of the Genius Training Camp to be assigned to the same group.

"1,000 groups, with 200 arena melees conducted in rotation every 24 hours, ending in 5 days.

12 hours from now, the arena melees for groups 1 through 200 will begin; please have the corresponding contestants prepare for battle."

The magnificent voice rings out again.

"Eh, I am in group 856, which means my match is on the fifth day.

Then for these first four days, can I go to the Demon Cave to hunt beasts?"

Xu Jing's eyes flicker.

Because this genius tournament is different from previous ones, the number of people is much larger.

So the schedule has also undergone corresponding changes.

Acting immediately, after getting the group number for the arena melee, Xu Jing immediately finds Cao Ren of the Black Dragon Legion.

"You say you want to go to Demon Cave No. 4 to hunt beasts, and you don't want any of the beast materials, just giving them to us?"

In the virtual world, in Cao Ren's villa, he looks at Xu Jing with a strange expression:

"But what are you aiming for? Not wanting beast materials, just creating slaughter has no meaning."

"The Body-Forging Technique I practice has a side effect of bloodthirst.

The arena melee of the genius tournament is about to begin, and I want to face the battle in the best state."

Xu Jing says half-truthfully.

Beast materials really have no use for him; he just wants Psychic Points.

The Black Dragon Legion is responsible for monitoring all abnormal situations in Demon Cave No. 4.

Giving them a heads-up in advance means that when he goes in to kill beasts in the coming days,

he won't end up attracting the legion's people like last time.

"So that's how it is; alright then, I'll just tell them." Cao Ren nods.

"Many thanks." Xu Jing smiles.

This is the benefit of connections; if he didn't know the Commander of the Black Dragon Legion, Cao Ren,

this matter wouldn't have been so easy to resolve.
