Xu Jingming also clicked on the world announcement and read it carefully. 。Remember October 28th last year, Master, Tia Nuo, and I, we three successively passed the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower <<
。Xu Jingming looked at the notice and said, “From July 25th last year when the virtual world opened to October 28th, it's been about three months.” 。But from last October 28th to this June 1st, it has been as many as seven months! Seven months is enough time for too many changes to occur. 。Masters' progress speeds vary, and their strengths differ accordingly. The overall landscape of top players worldwide has likely undergone a drastic shift. 。"
"Yeah" 。Li Miaomiao agreed. 。
After three months of opening the virtual world, many professional players have been surpassed, and many ordinary people have risen to prominence. 。。>Open for ten months?
"I don't know where I stand in the world right now." 。"Xu Jingming sighed, "I wonder if I can make it into the top three..." 。“Jingming, no one has publicly broken through to the fifth rank yet! You've been at it for quite a while now.” 。"Li Miaomiao said, "I believe you can definitely get into the top three, even first place." 。"As for my wife's beauty, that is something I cherish privately." 。"
What I said is the truth" 。"Li Miaomiao helplessly pointed to the world announcement and said, "According to what it says, from the day the announcement is issued, you can sign up for..." 。Let's sign up quickly! 。"Will you be joining us too?" Xu Jingming asked. 。"Of course! You can sign up when you reach the third rank. I definitely want to experience it." 。This is the first ever World Martial Arts Championship held in the virtual world, it will be very significant for the future. 。Li Miaomiao said 。Both spouses opened the registration page and chose to sign up. 。The number of registrants has now risen to 3259!
"A rough count a few days ago showed that there are about one thousand people globally who have reached the fourth order."
。"Li Miaomiao said, 'Globally, those who have reached the third rank must definitely be over ten thousand.'" 。There are so many talented people in every industry worldwide. 。Xu Jingming thought the number was normal. 。That day, Li Miaomiao's personal space, on that island, hosted a small gathering. Relatives and friends came together 。Nowadays, gatherings with friends typically take place in the virtual world, making it convenient for everyone to connect and disconnect. 。"Little guys, have you all signed up for this World Martial Arts Tournament?" Old Master Xu chuckled as he looked at the Pear Wood Team members chatting together. 。"Grandpa, we signed up" 。"Yang Qingxue immediately said obediently <<< 。"Of course we have to sign up, this is the first global event since the virtual world opened." 。Wang Yi is also very excited. 。"This time it's the World Martial Arts Tournament, one-on-one, so there's no way to hug someone's thigh." 。“Liu Chongyuan shook his head, “I’m still stuck at the third-tier limit, I definitely won’t be able to get into the main competition.” 。"Yang Qingxue said: 'Globally, there are estimated to be around one thousand people who have reached the fourth rank, while there are only 32 spots in the main competition! Don't even talk about the limit of the third rank, even an ordinary fourth rank is likely to be eliminated in the preliminary round.'" 。"Alas, although I've reached the 4th rank, my hope of entering the main competition is almost zero!"
"Young man, you haven't fought yet, don't lose heart." 。"Master Xu smiled and said, 'The important thing is to participate.'" 。"Ah Shuo, you've finally reached the fourth order. Both I and Da Xiong are stuck at the third-order limit." 。"He Fang was a little disappointed. He had been stuck at the third-order limit for so long, unable to make any progress. Meanwhile, some ordinary people who had never practiced martial arts before began to show signs of genius and entered the fourth order. Many of his friends also made breakthroughs. He Fang felt quite uncomfortable. He worked hard every day, but he just couldn't break through." 。"Haha, you have to work harder!" 。"Xu Hong walked over and patted Heng Fang on the shoulder. “I’ve already broken through to the fourth rank, haven’t you professional players broken through yet?”
“Uncle, don’t discourage us” 。Hengfang and Liu Chongyuan were both helpless. 。"Dad, you've bragged about this several times today." 。Xu Jingming was also helpless. 。Xu Hong was very pleased. Seeing Dai Tongda in the distance, his eyes lit up and he walked over: "Old Dai, I just broke through yesterday, reaching the fourth rank. What about you? Looking at your bitter face, I know it must be the third rank." 。"Get out!" Dai Tongda glared. 。Your daughter reached the fourth rank, and I also reached the fourth rank. 。"Xu Hong shook his head, “Lao Dai, you have to work hard.” 。"
Shut your mouth" 。"Dai Tongda said" 。Son, don't get too cocky. 。“Master Xu glared, “You just broke through to the fourth rank. You’re probably going to be eliminated in the preliminary round.” 。Xu Hong immediately looked helplessly at his old father. 。Since you were all eliminated in the qualifying rounds, don't get too cocky. 。>"Mr. Xu said, "The important thing is to participate" 。"
Yes, it's all about participation, everyone is in the preliminary rounds. " 。"Dai Tongda felt much better too, and glanced at Xu Hong." 。Then, I will join you all and participate in the elimination together. 。Mr. Xu smiled and said: 。"Joining in?" Xu Hong, Dai Tongda, Dai Xiaoqing, and even Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, Wang Yi, Heng Fang, Liu Chongyuan from afar all looked over. 。"Grandpa, have you reached the third rank?" Li Miaomiao asked. 。"Dad, you've never practiced martial arts before." 。Xu Hong couldn't believe it. 。Mr. Xu smiled, "I estimate that our Xu family has a talent for martial arts. We've been practicing in the virtual world for half a year, and I've been figuring things out and practicing on my own..." 。I've learned a lot in my martial arts training and finally reached the third rank! Now, there are probably over ten thousand people worldwide who have reached the third rank. I'm just one among ten thousand, insignificant, insignificant. 。A group of people were silent. 。。And people like Zhao Fan, even more so, became top-tier experts globally, reaching the fourth order limit early on. 。But 'the third order' is still a threshold, only about 10,000 people worldwide have broken through this threshold. Did Old Master Xu just cross it? "Did you teach Grandpa?" Li Miaomiao asked in a low voice. 。"No, Grandpa has never asked me that." 。Xu Jingming shook his head. 。"You group of masters taught me, and I only barely managed to break through to the third rank." 。"Grandpa figured it out himself, reaching the third tier?" Li Miaomiao felt a gap in talent at this moment. 。Xu Jingming touched his head and whispered to his wife, "My grandpa was an esports player when he was young. He won the FMV? So... some talent?" He wasn't even sure himself. 。Could Xu Jiazhen really have a talent for martial arts?
"Honey, " 。"At this moment, Xu Mu quietly asked Xu Hong, “I’ve been working very hard. Why am I still at the Daybreak Level? I haven't even reached the second rank?”
"Wife, you are amazing! Being able to reach the second rank now is something only one in a hundred people can do! You’re already in the top 10% of humanity.” 。Xu Hong comforted his wife. 。"Is that so?" Mother Xu was confused. 。However, according to statistics, there are only about one hundred people who have reached the level of a god. 。From tomorrow on, you have to teach me for 1 hour every day, oh, that's too tiring, how about half an hour instead? 。"Xu's mother said" 。Absolutely, definitely. 。Xu Hong immediately promised. 。Since the opening of the virtual world, this is the first global event!
And a 1v1 martial arts tournament naturally draws worldwide attention! People are very curious, who is the strongest in the world today? Is it Liu Hai? Tia Yano? Xu Jingming? Or a new rising star?
Many global masters who have reached the "third order" have signed up 。People are also eagerly anticipating the day of its arrival. 。
"Whoosh" 。"Whoosh" 。A live battle, featuring teams from Xia Country and Sakura Country. 。The strongest member of the Xia Kingdom team is a dashing young girl! The strongest member of the Sakura Country team is Miyagawa Akiko. 。
"Ding ding ding" 。The girl held a shield and sword, the blade long and thin, charging head-on. 。
Miyagawa's mind and body were ghostly, surrounding the girl. 。"Attack with attack!"
"Pfft!"
Suddenly the girl's sword flashed, her speed greatly increased. She swept past Miyagawa Minako's chest, drawing a line of blood. 。<<
Gongkawa Mingshin's face changed as he saw the scene from afar: "You..."
The girl, however, revealed a happy expression: "Thank you, Gongkawa Mingshin. Your combat ability is indeed stronger than mine, giving me enough threat! It finally allowed me to break through that step and reach the fifth order>>>。"Has
"She reached the fifth rank?" Gongkawa Mingxin felt a complex mix of emotions at this moment. He had been stuck at the fourth-rank limit until now, but this young girl had broken through." 。Yes, Miyawaki Akari is young, but this girl is even younger. 。
This girl... is Tu Ling, the strongest among Xia Nation's former 'minor' group. 。<<
Minors under the age of sixteen are prohibited from using armor weapons and can only fight with their bare hands! With the large population base of Xia, there is also a very large number of minors. They also have fighting competitions >>>。And Tu Ling is, without a doubt, the strongest. 。Tu Ling had already reached the fourth rank by the end of last year. 。This February, she just turned sixteen and officially started wearing armor and weapons. As the strongest among our Xia nation's underage warriors, her momentum after coming of age... was equally fierce. Just now, she said it herself, she has broken through to the fifth rank. 。The female host of the Xia Guo official live stream was incredibly excited and proud. 。
"That's amazing" 。Xu Jingming was also there midway, pulled over by Li Miaomiao to watch the battle. Seeing the slow-motion replay of the fight, he said, "Her swordsmanship has truly broken through to the fifth rank." 。Even as a child, she was unbeatable. 。Li Miaomiao exclaimed, “To reach the fourth rank with bare hands and only encountering armor soldiers after adulthood…” 。This martial arts competition is getting more and more interesting. 。Xu Jingming is looking forward to... 。The live broadcast of the match between Tu Ling and Miyagawa Akari wasn't available in many countries. 。But after the live stream ended, the news spread quickly! Because this was the first publicly acknowledged 'fifth-order' cultivator, and this talented girl had even broken through in the midst of battle. 。"A sixteen-year-old girl, breaking through to the fifth rank?" Tyger *Forson, who was chopping trees in the blizzard, fell silent after hearing the news. "I only just broke through to the fifth rank a half month ago," 。...just half a month faster than a little girl ... How many fifth-orders have been born worldwide?
"In the first three months after the virtual world opened, I could be in the top five " 。"
But being open for ten months, whether I can make it into the top ten is uncertain." 。Tiger Woods focused again, gripping two axes, and continued his tree-chopping practice. 。The breakthrough of Xia Guo's peerless genius girl 'Tu Ling' indeed stimulated many masters around the world, especially those stuck at the fourth-order limit. 。Everyone is working harder and pushing themselves to the limit, so they can shine during the competition. 。
Turning the corner, time finally arrived on June 1st, also the day of the grand competition, amidst global anticipation. 。
Some chapters are just one chapter.
