People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 466 The big picture
Three days passed quickly. During these two days, Li Qi practiced his sword without stopping, while Li Si's studies gradually became more demanding, leaving him with little free time. During the day, he would watch the preliminary rounds of the Jiaolong Cup with Sun Guang. As for the evenings, he would go out for a while to carefully study the feng shui formation of Yuncheng.

In fact, he had already deduced the location of the formation's core, but he was in no hurry to go there. It was like solving a problem; he saw the result but didn't write it down directly. Instead, he carefully calculated the process, allowing himself to gain a deeper understanding.

As for the competition, although there was a round of selection in the Fish and Dragon Cup, there were always some people who had their own unique skills, or were just a little unlucky or out of form, so they did not make it into the top ten of Fish and Dragon Cup and directly advanced to the semi-finals of Jiaolong Cup.

Furthermore, some formidable figures missed the Fish and Dragon Cup due to seclusion. On the first day of the third day, another figure emerged in Yunnan Province who broke through two major limits. While not as good as Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou's triple limit breakthrough, such a figure is not bad. In some eras, they could easily win the championship.

In the morning, Li Qi went to Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School, but in the afternoon, he saw the opponent's two matches. This person's movement and swordsmanship were very powerful, with a strong martial arts Zen flavor.

The Six Harmonies Blade of Mind, a Body Free from Thought and Desire!

It truly shows that Bodhidharma came from the East without uttering a single word; it all relied on the effort of the mind!
Li Qi watched two performances and gained some insights from observing their spirit and energy.

In addition, in the following two days of competition, some players who had reached the peak of their abilities also showed their brilliance. For Li Qi, these moments of brilliance were like a few grains of gold mixed in with the desert. The amount was small, but it was not a complete loss.

The semifinals of the Jiaolong Cup officially began on the morning of the 6th, and the huge stadium with more than 300,000 seats was completely full.

However, on this day, instead of a fighting arena, ten huge silver metal capsules were set up in the venue.

The preliminary rounds of the Jiaolong Cup selected over a hundred semi-finalists, and with the addition of the fifty top ten contestants from the five regions of Yunnan Province, the total number of participants approached two hundred.

Normally, the semi-finals would begin with ring battles, but this time, the preliminary selection was conducted entirely in the virtual world, with the top 30 out of 200 being chosen.

Undoubtedly, the reason for this change is to promote the existence of the virtual reality pod. By using such a major event, they can first establish their reputation to facilitate the next step of their plans. As many insightful people have already seen, the next step will definitely be the large-scale promotion of virtual reality technology.

This is the prelude.

At this moment, Li Qi sat in the contestants' seats, his gaze fixed on the ten metal capsules. He knew deeply that the land of Kyushu, and even the entire universe, would undergo tremendous changes because of this thing.
Perhaps in the future, the whole world will prioritize the virtual over reality, building a virtual community and a virtual metaverse for everyone, where people can live, learn, and even hone their skills!
While improving one's fundamental imprint still requires a place in reality, in the virtual world, one can constantly fight against masters, honing one's skills and mind. Once one's consciousness is honed, transforming it into real-world skills is not particularly difficult.

It's even possible to directly download the muscle memory developed in the virtual world into the body. As far as Li Qi knows, similar technology is quite common in some overseas research institutes. However, instead of training in the virtual world first, they download the muscle memory directly into their bodies and then adapt it to their conscious responses.

The cases of the overseas masters he killed were all similar.

The approach of overseas research institutes is undoubtedly faster, but it has great potential for future problems. If we train little by little, with an intelligent system collecting human data and keeping the body and mind in sync, that would undoubtedly be the most perfect technology. It can save a lot of time in training muscle memory and push martial arts to a higher peak.

"While the goal of reaching a high level of martial arts is to comprehend the divine and the human, and to hone oneself and accumulate foundation amidst the mortal world, very few people can actually reach this stage. If we can truly accelerate the early stages of cultivation, it will improve the overall foundation of martial artists. With more ordinary martial artists and higher quality, the probability of producing masters will naturally be higher."

"In fact, many people are talented, but they lack the conditions to cultivate and grow. If everyone practiced martial arts in the virtual world, with virtual martial arts masters providing one-on-one instruction, it would definitely inspire many people's enthusiasm for martial arts. The most difficult part of martial arts is actually the first hurdle. Once you get started and form a habit, the rest is just a matter of accumulating knowledge day by day. Many people fail at the first step for various reasons, which is undoubtedly a great pity."

"I just don't know if this technology will take five or ten years, or even more, to become widespread. Right now, this metal container is still too huge. It needs to be reduced to at least five times its original size to be convenient for civilian use. At present, it is at most placed in schools for public use and placed in the homes of some wealthy people. For ordinary people, the price will definitely be very high."

As Li Qi looked at this object, his thoughts surged, and his mind even felt as if it were about to pierce through time and space to glimpse the possibilities of the future, which showed how strong the feeling this object brought him was.

He had already seen a lot of the news online, but seeing videos and photos is completely different from seeing the actual product.

Especially in such an occasion, with hundreds of thousands of people watching, these ten items placed in the middle of the venue are practically telling everyone where the future lies!

"Emperor Xuan truly possesses a grand vision..."

"Many people say that since the Holy Ascension, the Xuan Emperor has lost much of his spirit and aged twenty years overnight, but now it seems that this is a case of a hero growing old but still being strong..."

At this moment, Li Qi looked at the metal warehouse, but many people were also looking at Li Qi. His martial arts skills were undoubtedly recognized by many people, who believed that he was the undisputed uncrowned king!
Admittedly, there are arguments online that Zhuang Buzhou can create miracles, suggesting that Li Qi might have a mishap. However, in the past two days, Li Qi has simply been sitting in the players' seats watching the game, yet he has naturally exuded an invincible sense of overlooking the competition.

At this moment, different people's gazes also carried different meanings. Some contestants looked at Li Qi with eager anticipation, such as Zhuang Buzhou, as well as the two experts who had broken through the limits of two levels. One of them was Feng Chengli, who was also one of the champions of the Fish and Dragon Cup, and the other was Jiang Xinyuan, who was the martial arts Zen master who had emerged in this preliminary selection.
