Chapter 315: Geniuses from Various Countries Gather (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Wang Laoshi pushed her black-framed glasses and continued:
"In the rules of this competition, all freshmen are qualified to participate."
"The country will even encourage students from the Tenth Academy to participate, but they will be prohibited from using special abilities in the competition."
"For the honor of the country, they will also all participate, including SS-level geniuses Yu Zhuoran and Huo Wanyang."
Everyone looked at Yu Zhuoran sitting in the middle. As for Huo Wanyang, because he awakened too late, his strength was naturally not as good as Yu Zhuoran's.
"Besides that, there are also SS-level geniuses from other countries participating, and the competition will be exceptionally intense."
"For awakened geniuses, according to the rules, they will serve as seeded players, directly entering the Global Zone, occupying thirteen spots."
Everyone nodded, without any opposition.
Awakened geniuses had already surpassed ordinary geniuses by a large margin.
Not everyone was as powerful as Lin Qi, able to defeat awakened geniuses.
Wang Laoshi switched the big screen again and said.
"As for you academy heads, then I'm sorry, you don't have the spots for seeded players."
"Because the strength of players from major countries is uneven, unless they are awakened geniuses."
"Otherwise, everyone has to participate in tomorrow's preliminary rounds!"
Ao Feng and others had no objections. With the geniuses of the Tenth Academy participating, their strength was no longer worth mentioning.
They were no longer even the protagonists.
Lin Qi also shook his head secretly. He didn't expect that he would also have to participate in the preliminary rounds.
But who told him he hadn't awakened yet.
Wang Laoshi switched the projection and said again:
"Tomorrow is the preliminary round. There are 24 countries participating in our Eastern Zone, with a total of more than 100,000 players participating."
"In the first round, 90% will be eliminated from 100,000, and only 10,000 players can enter the second round."
"I hope everyone can take it seriously, because those who can participate are elite geniuses."
"They all come from various countries, and all kinds of secret techniques and styles are completely different."
"In previous years, there have been too many examples of capsizing in the gutter. I hope everyone will not become one of them."
"Our Xia Guo is the most powerful country on the entire Blue Star. I don't know how many people want to defeat us and get on top."
"So don't be careless, because when the time comes, not only will you be embarrassed, but our Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda will also be embarrassed."
Wang Laoshi said this with a serious expression, which made everyone feel a chill in their hearts, and they planned to go back and prepare well.
"The meeting ends here today. I hope everyone can successfully pass the first round tomorrow."
After speaking, she went offline first, and others followed one after another.
Lin Qi looked at the people of the Six Academies of Cangqiong and also exhorted:
"Everyone, work hard, don't be careless!"
Jiang Tao nodded confidently: "Lin Qi Ge, don't worry, we are not that stupid yet!"
Lin Qi nodded, and everyone went offline one after another.
After coming out of the virtual pod, he sat cross-legged and continued to start his cultivation tonight.
As for the first round tomorrow, he was not worried about his results.
He was just more curious about the players from other countries, mainly because he hadn't seen many foreigners since he was a child.
He didn't understand the fighting methods and styles of other countries.
"Inhale~ Exhale~"
After simply adjusting his breathing, he entered a state of cultivation.
……
Minghai Shanyu Wuda, Ninth Academy dormitory area:
In a martial arts room inside a villa, Li Hanjiang, with a straight posture, swung a blue great spear, dancing beautiful spear flowers.
Not far from him, a big screen was projected.
"Hanjiang, you are worthy of being a genius!"
"I didn't expect that besides Lin Qi, you actually successfully mastered a minor divine ability!"
"If you had mastered a minor divine ability during the National Tournament, perhaps the champion wouldn't be Lin Qi."
In the video, a burly man dressed in blue laughed and said.
Li Hanjiang held the spear with one hand, and extremely subtle silk-like patterns appeared on his exposed skin.
He smiled: "It's not too late now!"
"My compatibility with the 'Glacial White Wolf' is extremely high, and being able to master a minor divine ability is indeed a fluke."
"But in this Global Freshman Tournament, even if awakened geniuses participate, I am not worse than them."
"I am still looking forward to fighting Lin Qi again. I wonder how much stronger he has become in these nearly five months?"
Thinking of this, Li Hanjiang couldn't help but feel excited.
He was too looking forward to the Global Freshman Tournament.
"Don't worry, tomorrow you will be able to show your strength." The blue-clothed burly man laughed.
He was very satisfied with Li Hanjiang, but unfortunately, there was this freak Lin Qi.
Now Li Hanjiang had also mastered a minor divine ability, and he was not much worse than Lin Qi.
……
Shanyu Shanyu Wuda, Third Academy:
In a luxurious detached villa:
Liang Yuxin, with silver hair, looked at the information about the Global Tournament, and a wave of pressure rushed towards her through the text.
"The National Freshman Tournament ended at the end of last November, and now it is the end of April, five months have passed."
"My strength has improved significantly, and now I am about to break through to the Fourth Realm."
"Unfortunately, my opponents are all awakened geniuses. I don't have the confidence to defeat them."
"I am no longer one of the protagonists."
"Perhaps only Lin Qi, who has mastered a minor divine ability, can participate in it?"
Liang Yuxin clenched her fists unwillingly. If only she could awaken.
"Mom and Dad have always been looking out for awakening fruits for me, but unfortunately there is still no information."
Thinking of this, she sighed. Her luck was not very good. Not only was there Li Hanjiang in the same period, but a freak like Lin Qi also appeared.
She was destined not to be able to compare to them. ……
At the same time, geniuses from major martial arts universities in the 24 countries divided into the Eastern Zone were also preparing for tomorrow.
Geniuses in the Western Zone were also preparing.
Countless geniuses wanted to become famous in one battle in this competition, and some wanted to defeat geniuses from other countries to win glory for their country.
"Tomorrow, we will fight against other countries. It's really nervous."
"It is said that Xia Guo is the most powerful country on Blue Star. They possess the world's strongest martial artist — the Red Emperor."
"I really want to see how strong the geniuses of Xia Guo are?"
"I want to defeat the geniuses of Xia Guo and let everyone know my name."
……
Martial Arts Era 2047, April 25th
!
Global Freshman Tournament Preliminary Round 1.
Cangqiong Six Academies, No. 01 detached villa:
Inside the martial arts room:
Lin Qi, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes became bright, like glowing light bulbs.
【You completed the cultivation of the "Hundred Disaster Records," your mental power has improved, mental power +2】
【Mental Power: 251→253】
……
Mental power breakthrough, Lin Qi only felt refreshed.
He put away the orange scroll in front of him. He had already broken through, and next, he should change to the yellow scroll, which was to visualize Third-Level disaster beasts for fighting.
He also had a goal, which was the Gray-Spined Giant Wolf.
The effect of this cultivation technique, "Hundred Disaster Records," was becoming more and more obvious. As long as he cultivated, his mental power could improve steadily.
After putting away his things, he glanced at the time: 8:25.
There were only five minutes left until the start of the first round.
He walked to the side of the white large virtual pod, opened it, and entered it.
"Hum!"
In his personal space, he quickly discovered the pop-up message box.
【Student Lin Qi, do you want to enter the Eastern Zone of the Global Freshman Tournament?】
【Yes!】
He didn't hesitate at all and clicked confirm.
The next instant, he disappeared from where he was, space changed, and he was moved to another space by an invisible big hand.
"Wow!"
Suddenly he felt enlightened, and he was in a wide space.
Noisy sounds came to his ears.
"Lin Qi Ge, you finally came online!"
He turned his head and saw Jiang Tao, who was tall and dark-skinned, wearing a red and white school uniform, standing next to him.
Looking at himself, he was also wearing a Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda school uniform.
"Taozi!"
"Lin Qi Ge!"
Other people from the Six Academies of Cangqiong around also greeted him enthusiastically!
While Lin Qi nodded, he observed the surroundings amidst the noise.
He could see that everyone around was a student of Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, standing according to their academies. Among them, the people of the Tenth Academy had also come.
Not only that, there were also students from Minghai Shanyu Wuda wearing blue school uniforms, and students from Shanyu Shanyu Wuda wearing black clothes.
The geniuses of the three top universities in Xia Guo were all gathered together. Besides that, there were also a small number of geniuses from the top ten famous schools.
For example, Mao Jia from Chuanshu Shanyu Wuda, Yi Shaojie from Xia Yu Military Academy, etc.
They nodded after seeing Lin Qi's gaze.
Especially Li Hanjiang, whose gaze was fiery, containing a very strong fighting intent.
"Lin Qi Ge, the floating island we are standing on is on the top layer. People from one country are on one floating island."
Jiang Tao introduced from the side.
Lin Qi could already see the huge Xia Guo flag fluttering in the wind above everyone's heads.
And the floating island they were on was the largest, and no other floating island could go side-by-side, and at the same time, they could overlook the floating islands of other countries on the lower layer.
"The second layer is the Tianzhu country. They are the second most powerful country in our Eastern Zone."
"There are also strong countries like Sakura country, Xinluo country, Thailand, Qiandao, etc."
Lin Qi listened from the side. Everyone was in the East, surrounding Xia Guo. He had also heard the names.
Looking at the flags of different colors fluttering in the wind, and the players with the same skin color but unique faces.
Their Qi and blood were strong, their eyes were bright, and they looked up at the floating island of their Xia Guo. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, admiration, inferiority, and greed……
Some eyes were full of fighting intent, wanting to defeat the geniuses of their Xia Guo.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
In everyone's sight, countless red light particles appeared out of thin air, and finally condensed and projected a huge human figure.
"Players from the East!"
A voice familiar to all Xia Guo people sounded.
The huge human figure stroked his beard and said loudly:
"Let me introduce myself. I am Xu Wenji, Vice Principal of Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda in Xia Guo. The selection for this Eastern Zone is hosted by me!"
After he finished speaking, on the major floating islands, what Xu Wenji said was translated into different languages, and appeared in front of them in the form of subtitles.
"He is the Vice Principal of Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda in Xia Guo!"
"Is it the strongest Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda in Xia Guo that I know?"
"It is said that their Vice Principal is an Eighth Realm martial artist. My God, a big shot of the Eighth Realm is actually serving as the host."
"This is a thing that is fundamentally impossible in our country."
Many geniuses from other countries felt shocked, and some even saw an Eighth Realm martial artist speaking at such a close distance.
