People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 476 The Trend Has Been Set
With that, the Jiaolong Cup semi-finals came to an end. On the big screen, thirty names and their scores were displayed. At the very top was Li Qi's name, along with an ∞ symbol, indicating that he had passed the level and his score was immeasurable.

The second-ranked player is Zhuang Buzhou, who perished together with Wuji Dasheng, resulting in a score of 800. The third-ranked player is Jiang Xinyuan with 701 points. Below these three, there are hardly any people paying attention to them.

In fact, almost 99% of people only look at the highest-ranking name; that's the reality.

In martial arts, there is no second place; people will only remember the strongest and won't care much about who the second strongest is, even if that person is also very powerful.

The finals began that afternoon.

As numerous names scrolled across the big screen, the screen finally settled on the first match: Li Qi vs. Jiang Xinyuan.

This result surprised many people. After all, it's no secret that the strongest players in this kind of competition are not matched up early, and there is no inherent unfairness in it.

But thinking about it carefully, based on Li Qi's performance this morning, he can easily crush any of the remaining 29 people. That's the real value of clearing all ten levels.

After all, in terms of physical fitness, Zhuang Buzhou is probably the only one in the entire Yunnan Province competition area who is slightly better than Li Qi. The reason for this is that Zhuang Buzhou broke through the three major limits earlier, but in terms of combat awareness, Zhuang Buzhou has only passed eight levels. Compared with Li Qi, who killed the young Great Sage with three strikes, they are not even on the same level.

In this situation, unless someone is blind or mentally ill, they wouldn't be confused about who is the strongest in the Yunnan Province competition.

Seeing that he had been chosen, Li Qi calmly walked onto the stage. Standing on the stage, he was the focus of attention of more than 300,000 people. All eyes were on him. At the same time, this was also a kind of spiritual interaction. Even if Li Qi did not look at them, the fact that these people were looking at him naturally made him feel a connection with them.

Of course, this kind of sensing does not mean sensing everyone thoroughly, but rather extracting the most intense and abundant emotion at this moment, transforming it into a kind of spiritual trace, and finally constructing an emotional mapping chart that includes more than 300,000 people.

The image that appeared in Li Qi's mind at this moment was like a ball of fire, carrying bright light and invincibility, seemingly about to rise into the sky and become the eternal sun!

At this point in time, many people in the arena believed that he was unmatched. One or two people might be one thing, but when everyone was of one mind and united as one, and then subjected to his kind of spiritual refinement, it transformed into a powerful external spiritual boost.

In Li Qi's own perception, his spiritual world was as if he had just taken a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, and his whole body was warm and comfortable. Although there was no extraordinary or wonderful information in the golden pill, it was just a simple warm current, but it was also nourishing his spirit and refining and improving his spiritual essence.

"In a sense, at this moment, I am actually somewhat like a person who has gathered faith and ascended to godhood. If I were just an ordinary person, it would be fine. No matter how many people think I am invincible, that kind of emotional power would just be scattered out of thin air. But my mind is too strong. It can refine, melt and retain this emotional power and turn it into real power!"

"In fact, even ordinary people, by chance, can feel an external force that supports their morale and fighting spirit when encouraged and supported by a few enthusiastic fans. They don't even need to be there in person; just a few encouraging words online can make them feel high-spirited, like they've been injected with chicken blood. This is the transmission of emotions across distances."

"But ordinary people are too weak in spirit, and their perception and reception are also limited."

“When I played in the past, during the Fish and Dragon Cup, my mental state was not good enough. In addition, the people in the arena were hesitant before I won. After I won, the time was too short, and the emotions in people’s hearts did not have time to ferment and settle. So it was too shallow and did not have the desired effect.”

"This time, I first proved my invincibility before going on stage. Everyone was convinced of my invincibility and remained steadfast in their belief. The effect of these 300,000 people was even greater than that of the 300,000 or 30 million people during the Fish and Dragon Cup..." Li Qi felt the changes in his spiritual world and gained a clear understanding.

Many scriptures say that faith is poisonous, but that is actually due to the complexity of human emotions. Some people may cultivate their minds, but their hearts are not strong enough to be as precise as Li Qi's in capturing the essence of things. In that case, it is harmful rather than beneficial.

At this moment, Li Qi abandoned everything else and only focused on the belief that he was invincible, thus achieving something beneficial without causing harm.

"However, this kind of emotional power comes from the outside. Once the event is over, or many people go to pay attention to other things, it will naturally dissipate and disappear like water without a source. It cannot last long. Unlike tapping into one's own spiritual power and potential, one's own power is inexhaustible. This is the difference between seeking externally and seeking internally."

"External forces are not unusable, but they can only be used as tools, not as the core foundation."

As his thoughts shifted, the great sun in Li Qihua's heart suddenly blazed intensely, causing his spiritual world to shrink by about one-tenth in an instant. His entire spiritual world shone with a glass-like luster, seemingly becoming purer and more genuine.

The great sun in his heart, however, was now less than one percent of what it had been, but it was steadily recovering.

Li Qi was well aware that too much of a good thing is bad. This tempering was enough, and the emotional impact would dissipate naturally afterward.

In this world, there has never been a case of reaching the heavens by relying on external forces without tapping into one's own strength.

At the same time, with the appearance of the great sun in his heart, his temperament also underwent a tremendous change. In the eyes of many people, Li Qi's invincible aura completely rose as he stood on the stage.

"The tide has turned!"

At this moment, many experts in the venue suddenly had this word pop into their minds.

Their martial arts skills were naturally excellent, and their aura was not weak either. In Yunnan Province, they were all big figures who stirred up a storm. For many ordinary people, the only way to learn about them was through television. In reality, it was impossible for them to see them.

While their momentum was indeed strong, upon seeing Li Qi and feeling his aura, they were truly awe-inspiring and felt that their own so-called power was illusory and laughable.

"There are two kinds of invincibility. One is invincibility derived from one's own strength. This kind of invincibility belongs to the Heavenly Dao system. The other kind of invincibility is fighting all the way to invincibility, being recognized by everyone, and having people's hearts united. This kind of invincibility belongs to the Human Dao system. The unity of the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao is the Great Dao. Using people to mend the heavens and using the heavens to forge people, life goes on and on, in an endless cycle. This is true invincibility!"

In the audience, Yan Moxin murmured a profound truth at this moment.

At the same time, Li Qi's opponent also entered the arena.
