Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 433: King of Mountains and Rivers (asking for monthly ticket)
Jiang Tao looked around and sighed:
“There are really a lot of people here!”

Wan Ming said, "Of course, according to the information I found."

"There are 296 million people from our Xia Country alone participating in the Global Martial Arts Competition this time, which is close to three million geniuses."

“And only a very small number of them can advance to the second round.”

“And that doesn’t even include the 80 million geniuses in countries around the world!”

Everyone was shocked, as they had originally thought that the millions of people who had participated in the National Freshman Competition were already enough.

I didn’t expect that there would be more now, a full 20 million people, it’s really too many!
If we compete together, it would be a meat grinder.

Lynch also nodded and looked into the distance. The space around him changed, and countless different buildings and crowds appeared in his sight.

The Statue of Liberty in the White Eagle Federation, the Kremlin in the Bear Country, Mount Fuji in the Cherry Blossom Country, the Cologne Cathedral in Germany, the Eiffel Tower in Gaul...

In each building there are the national flags of their respective countries, as well as countless contestants. They all have a strong aura and none of them is weak.

They seemed to be in a different time and space, projected through a mirage.

The stronger the country, the larger the projection area. A weak country will only have a small area and the fewest players.

The Global Martial Arts Competition is also a display of national strength.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was 8:30.

In the sight of all the players from Xia Country, countless red light and shadow particles condensed together.

"Dear contestants!"

A tall figure slowly emerged.

This is a middle-aged man wearing a silver robe with faint green mountain and river patterns printed on it.

He is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and back, and his muscles are smooth but not bulky.

He has a calm and steady temperament like a mountain, a resolute face, and an aura of majesty between his brows.

There are a few shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, adding a bit of vicissitudes and wisdom.

His hair is black and thick, with slightly graying temples. He looks calm and restrained.

His gaze was as deep as the abyss, as if he could see through people's hearts. No one could look him in the eye.

"It's the King of Mountains and Rivers!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed his title.

"I didn't expect that this time it would be the ninth level warrior, the King of Mountains and Rivers, who would host the event."

"Every year, the Global Martial Arts Competition is hosted by a Ninth Realm Martial Artist."

"Among them, King Shanhe presided over the most number of meetings." Someone explained.

"I didn't expect to be able to watch the King of Mountains and Rivers from such a close distance. His experience is so inspiring."

"It is said that he was only 1999 years old in 25 of the Martial Arts Calendar, and had no martial arts foundation at all before that."

"But he was gifted. He started formally training in martial arts at the age of 25 and mastered the art very quickly."

"I fought against disaster beasts all the way and experienced countless life-and-death crises before I grew up. Together with Chidi and other ninth-level warriors, I perfected the ninth level of martial arts."

"At the age of 50, he successfully broke through to the ninth realm of warriors and was given the title of Mountain and River King. He became the last warrior to break through to the ninth realm of warriors."

"And based on the 'Mountain Shaking Spear Technique', he created the 'Mountain and River Spear Technique'"

“I’m 74 years old this year, but it’s getting more terrifying.”

Everyone was talking about it, and the national players from other spaces were also talking about it.

"He is the Mountain and River King of Xia Country. His spear skills are heroic and fierce. He is my idol."

"I am currently learning his 'Mountain and River Spear Technique'. He is amazing."

"Xia Country is indeed worthy of being the strongest country. It actually let the King of Mountains and Rivers host the Global Martial Arts Competition."

They were discussing among themselves that there were not many ninth-level warriors in each of their countries.

They are all guarding the major war bases, and only Xia Country, the strongest country on Blue Star, has the largest number of Ninth Realm Warriors.

A warrior from the Ninth Realm can be selected to host the competition.

Lin Qi listened to the exclamations around him, and his expression also froze as he looked at the other party. The "Mountain and River Spear Technique" he practiced was a simplified version of the Mountain and River King's unique skills.

That’s why he was able to possess the heroic spirit and fearless vision of the King of Mountains and Rivers.

King Shanhe looked around at everyone and slowly said:

"Dear contestants, welcome to the Global Martial Arts Competition!"

"I am the King of Mountains and Rivers from Xia Country!"

His voice was like a loud bell, and everyone could hear it clearly.

The King of Mountains and Rivers looked at everyone with great momentum and said:

"Dear contestants, the Global Martial Arts Competition is the most grand martial arts competition in the entire Blue Planet."

"It aims to promote the improvement of martial arts through the collision between geniuses and resist the invasion of disaster beasts."

"Most of these contestants have participated in more than one global martial arts competition."

"The principle of our competition is fairness and justice."

"Today, our 35th Global Martial Arts Competition will officially begin."

"Next up is the first round of preliminaries!"

"The number of participants in this session reached a new high, with a total of 2312 million participants."

"In the first round of preliminaries, you will be divided into 20 groups."

"Each group will have more than 20 players. You will be thrown into a virtual battlefield and face the attacks of disaster beasts."

"At the same time, you can also attack other players."

"The competition will stop when there are only 10,000 contestants left, and the surviving contestants will advance to the second round."

"The players who advance at the same time will also receive rewards of more than 2000 million Xiaguo coins."

As soon as this was said, everyone also felt the cruelty of it. 99% of the people were eliminated in the first round.
Many people act as cannon fodder.

However, 2000 million Xiaguo currency is still a huge amount of money for most players.

Especially for players from some small countries, the exchange rate of Xiaguo currency is very high and can be exchanged for a large sum of money.

Their country is not as powerful as Xia Country, and the basic training facilities of the Martial Arts University are far inferior, so they can only rely on their own hard training. If they can get 2000 million Xia Country coins, the future road of martial arts will be much easier.

So they all plan to do their best to get into the second round.

The emotions of many viewers were also aroused.

King Shanhe then announced:
"Next, the first group of 20 contestants will be randomly selected. Please be ready."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

From his body, towering mountains and surging rivers emerged, and the combination condensed into one in everyone's sight.

The mountains and rivers changed dramatically in an instant, as if a new world had evolved in everyone's sight.

A huge plain appeared out of nowhere, a bloody land, the soil was watered with a large amount of blood, and there was a Great Wall connected by steel bases.

"This is the Great Wall of Steel!!" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing it.

"This is a simulation of the border of our Xia country's alien sky base. It is the largest place to defend against the invasion of disaster beasts." Someone explained.

Just as everyone was exclaiming, in the areas of major countries, one by one the contestants were enveloped by red beams of light and soared into the sky.

While Lynch was observing, he was also enveloped by a red beam of light.

"Brother Qi is in the first game!" several people around exclaimed.

"Can we see how strong Brother Qi is now?" Guo Heng said slowly.

Everyone nodded, and saw 20 beams of light descending on the plains outside the Great Wall of Steel.

[Contestant Lin Qi, you have 30 seconds to choose your combat equipment.]

In the beam of light, Lynch looked at the reminder that popped up on the panel and quickly chose a set of black combat equipment.

After 30 seconds, the beam of light dissipated, and Lynch walked out brandishing a sharp gun covered with black patterns.

A string of words appeared above his head.

[Player: Lin Qi (Xia Guo)]

On the chest of his combat uniform, there was a clear red national flag pattern.

He looked around. He was on a barren land, surrounded by broken walls and a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Tanks, armored vehicles, artillery vehicles...

"Boom!!"

He knew that the place where he was now was a steel wall that simulated the border of the Sky Base, and behind it was a steel wall that was tens of meters high.

Suddenly the earth seemed to be torn apart, and dust flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

At the end of the distant sight, a dark shadow is approaching rapidly, like a moving mountain.

Under the mountains, a wave of disaster beasts came like ants gathering together to form a tsunami.

There are endless disaster beasts.

The earth is shaking and the disaster beast is getting closer and closer.

Lin Qi glanced around and saw countless familiar disaster beasts:

Iron-thorned wild boar, one-horned black pig, gray-backed giant wolf, iron-scaled eagle, blood-scaled iron pig, bronze bull, silver giant wolf, steel-feathered eagle...

Not only that, there are also huge level 5 and 6 disaster beasts that are as big as mountains.

"Ho~ho~"

Claw-clawed apes, blood-raging giant wolves, and level 6 disaster beasts such as the Iron-backed War Bear and the Iron-armored Rhino...

No high-level disaster beasts appeared, but there were too many of them.

[The first preliminaries game officially begins! ]

The voice of intelligent voice resounded in everyone's ears.

The first preliminaries started right away.

It won't end until there are 10,000 people left.

"kill!!"

Near him, a large number of warriors from various countries also rushed towards the disaster beast.

They had nowhere to run and could only hope to hold out against the tide of disaster beasts.

"Puff~puff~"

The hunt for the disaster beast has not yet begun, but the battle has already begun.

Someone swung a sword and chopped it down at the contestant next to him, slitting his throat.

"idiot!"

"The rules say that it's not forbidden to attack the players."

"As long as only 10,000 people are left, this battle will naturally end."

The person who spoke was tall and burly, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

His aura was clearly at the fourth level, which was already at the upper level among the 20 million contestants.

Upon seeing this, the other contestants reacted immediately and started to attack the contestants around them.

"Clang clang!!"

Lynch felt the power surging from his body. There were no restrictions in the Global Martial Arts Competition.

His current strength is at his peak.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, in his spiritual perception, a figure was approaching him rapidly.

This is a contestant from the Land of Sakura. He has a slim body and agile movements, like a gust of wind.

He exuded a powerful aura that was unique to a fourth-level bone-training warrior.

"Xia people, die!"
