I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"With a physical energy level of 4.8, the overall combat strength rating is actually 5.2. This is the first time I have seen such an exaggerated range."

"You've only just arrived and you've already broken so many records..."

Xue Jing smiled and said, "It's alright."

……

Afterwards, Ning Yuantai and Yin Muhu also underwent physical exertion tests and mental energy level tests, respectively.

Among them, Ning Yuantai's overall combat strength rating is 4.0, while Yin Muhu's is 4.5.

After the group had toured the entire base and experienced the high-tech equipment on the inner ring road, the sky gradually turned dusky.

Yin Muhu said goodbye and returned to the hotel, while Xue Jing also arrived at the residence arranged for him by the base commander, Xu Hongzhong.

It was a detached three-story building, very spacious, and quite nicely decorated, with all kinds of facilities. Xue Jing was very satisfied.

After taking everything out of his suitcase and putting it away, he picked up his phone and called his personal agent, Jiang Siwei, to let her know that he had arrived in Yuancheng.

Jiang Siwei also completed the stay procedures under the arrangement of the Galaxy Martial Arts Club and arrived in Yuancheng two days in advance.

The two exchanged pleasantries on the phone and agreed to meet the next day.

Shortly after, Ning Yuantai knocked on the door, saying that a gift from the commander of Zhige had arrived.

"what is this?"

Xue Jing took the silver bracelet that Ning Yuantai handed him and asked curiously.

This is a bracelet with a minimalist style and unique aesthetics, featuring a metallic surface with simple yet beautiful patterns.

"The wristband... to put it simply, is like a mobile phone on the inner ring side, an everyday item that everyone has."

Ning Yuantai explained.

"This is the latest flagship smart bracelet on the market... but that's not the point. The point is that it contains a military-grade 'super mesh connector'."

"Unlike civilian-grade connectors that can't be used outside the inner ring, military-grade supernet connectors can still be used even outside the inner ring."

"From now on, you can log in to the Supernet anytime, anywhere."

Xue Jing put on the bracelet with interest and said:

"Please thank the Commander for me... How do I use this thing?"

……

Chapter 220 Proficient in all weapons, this is a flying sword; how can the affairs of martial artists be called stealing? (4K)

Xue Jing sat in the chair, his right hand stroking the silver bracelet on his left wrist, pressing it lightly twice on the metallic surface.

Behind his ears were two rectangular silver striped patches, each about the size of a fingernail. As the bracelet was activated, the patches began to shimmer slightly.

According to Ning Yuantai, these two patches are used to receive brainwaves.

The bracelet doesn't have a keyboard or mouse, nor does it have a touchscreen like a mobile phone; most operations are performed using brainwaves.

A pale blue light shone on the bracelet, forming a holographic image in the air, displaying a screen similar to a smartphone desktop.

Xue Jing stared at the holographic desktop, and with a thought, the image changed, opening the system's built-in browser.

When ordinary people use this device for the first time, they may not be able to accurately control the operation of the bracelet due to insufficient mental energy, inadequate brainwave intensity, impure thoughts, and other reasons.

Therefore, one needs to strengthen their thoughts by touching the holographic image with their fingers, and then accurately control the interface.

Only after one adapts and becomes proficient can one control the system from scratch without making mistakes.

However, given Xue Jing's current mental strength, he naturally didn't need to adapt. He easily became as skilled as a veteran, without needing to strengthen his thoughts through actions.

After curiously interacting with the holographic image for a while, Xue Jing picked up a pair of glasses from the table next to him and put them on.

These are AR glasses that come with the wristband. Once you put them on, the holographic image immediately disappears into the air.

A clearer, more vibrant, and distinct wristband screen appeared in his field of vision.

Xue Jing randomly clicked on a recommended website called 'Mushroom Video' in the browser he opened.

In just a moment, the moment I clicked on it, a video website interface popped up immediately, without any loading process at all, as smoothly as opening a local software.

He randomly clicked on a decompression video on the website showing a hydraulic press crushing various things. It opened instantly, started playing in less than 0.1 seconds, and the progress bar at the bottom loaded in an instant.

"The 'SuperNet,' which claims to have unlimited transmission speed, is only limited by the performance of the device itself..."

Xue Jing looked at the ultra-high-definition video of the hydraulic press with its extremely high frame rate and was somewhat amazed.

This five-minute video is at least 100GB in size. On the 'old network', it would take a long time to load.

It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. If you get used to this level of audio-visual enjoyment and ultra-fast internet speed, how can you tolerate the backwardness of the old outer ring network?

After watching a few more videos, Xue Jing closed the browser and opened the app store that came with the bracelet.

The category I chose was games.

I randomly selected a game called 'Havoc in Heaven' from the leaderboard, installed it on my bracelet, and it was installed in the next instant, just like I clicked install.

This is a magical '3D mini-game' where players will play as a monkey facing 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and various gods in a stunningly beautiful, almost realistic cloud-covered celestial palace map with superb graphics. Every soldier has an extremely detailed model and smooth movements, and the spells of the various gods are incredibly gorgeous, filling the screen with light pollution.

The scene features a true display of 100,000 heavenly soldiers on screen. Xue Jing controls the monkey, wielding an extended Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff). With each swing, the staff grows larger, instantly killing hundreds of heavenly soldiers. The shattered flesh and the corresponding map interactions are rendered with extreme detail, making it truly terrifying.

The performance requirements for running this level of game smoothly are terrifying to even think about.

However, in the 'SuperNet', you don't need to consider configuration when playing games.

Because it's not actually played using the wristband's built-in features... the way it's played is through cloud gaming.

All games run on official servers; players simply receive game video feeds transmitted from the server in real time via an unlimited and stable data transfer.

This way of playing is essentially just watching a video, except you can control it. Therefore, there's no need to consider the player's device configuration. Just put as many features as possible in it, and as long as the server runs smoothly, the player can have a great time.

Xue Jing seemed to have taken electronic Viagra, and his long-lost internet addiction returned. He played all sorts of novel games with great enthusiasm all night long, not sleeping or practicing his martial arts.

When I came to my senses, it was already the morning of the next day.

He took off his AR glasses and rubbed his eyes, which weren't exactly tired but were a little blurry.

"...This is so awesome."

Xue Jing sighed.

If someone told him now that he wouldn't be able to access the super network once he left the inner ring road, he would feel unwilling.

Even someone with such high mental energy and a strong will like him is like this, let alone ordinary people.

"'Supernet' is just one of the advantages of the inner ring... The difference between the inner and outer rings is too great. No wonder countless people from the outer ring are desperate to get in and live permanently in the inner ring."

Xue Jing shook his head and looked at the cat that was curled up on his lap, sleeping peacefully.

"Teacher Wan, let's go, it's time for breakfast."

Xue Jing stroked the cat's chin and spoke softly.

……

At noon.

In a quiet coffee shop with nice decor in Yuancheng, C13 district.

Xue Jing pushed open the door and entered, his eyes scanning the surroundings before he quickly spotted Jiang Siwei in a corner, drinking coffee and flipping through documents.

More than a month has passed since I last saw Jiang Siwei, and her appearance hasn't changed much. She's still dressed in a fitted pencil skirt, looking every bit the elite career woman.

Xue Jing maintained his aura concealed by the [Concealment] technique, without attracting anyone's attention, and sat down in the seat opposite Jiang Siwei.

The cat perched on his shoulder leaped onto the table and meowed.

The pleasant meowing of a cat caught Jiang Siwei's attention. She looked up and realized that Xue Jing was already sitting opposite her.

"Xiao Jing, you're here." Jiang Siwei immediately smiled and greeted her.

"Sister Wei, it's been a long time," Xue Jing said with a smile.

Upon seeing Xue Jing's smile again after so long, Jiang Siwei was slightly dazed, feeling a bit dizzy.

Although I had gotten used to seeing it before, after a month apart, my resistance wasn't as strong as before.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What a magnificent face.

After exchanging pleasantries and catching up on each other's recent situations, the two finally...

Xue Jing picked up the cup of milk tea that the waiter had just brought, took a small sip, and said:

"Sister Wei, what is the specific process for this final competition?"

Jiang Siwei smiled helplessly: "You're still the same as before, you basically don't care about the competition. It's like you came here for tourism and just happened to participate in a competition and win a championship."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "The specific process is similar to the elimination rounds. There are eight divisions, and four people from each division will advance to the finals, for a total of thirty-two people."

"These thirty-two people will draw lots..."

Jiang Siwei described the process of the U19 finals, which was basically the same as the Fengcheng knockout tournament that Xue Jing had previously participated in.

"The only difference is that in the quarterfinals, a double-elimination system will be implemented. Players who lose in the quarterfinals will fall into the losers' bracket. Only if they lose again in the losers' bracket will they be completely eliminated. If they fight their way back from the losers' bracket, they will have another chance to win the championship..."

As Jiang Siwei spoke, she took out a thick stack of documents from her briefcase and pushed them in front of Xue Jing.

"This is the detailed information I've compiled about the 32 contestants. Take a look."

Xue Jing reached out and took it, glancing at the document placed on top.

Whether it was a coincidence or Jiang Siwei deliberately placed it there, it was Zhou Yinglin's information.

Xue Jing turned it over.

He looked at the documents, and Jiang Siwei, seeing this, said with a serious expression:

"This is the opponent you need to be most careful of in the finals, Zhou Yinglin."

"He is a disciple of Lord Wu Xuanzhu, the 'Eternal Master of War'... His level is above average for U19, just like that Far East player, Suzuka Otogi, who is also participating in this competition."

“Both of these people are the kind of people who shouldn’t be in this level of competition. Their combat strength has exceeded the range of ‘young masters’... especially Zhou Yinglin.”

"During my few days in Yuancheng, I've been using the 'SuperNet' to search for information and discovered that this Zhou Yinglin has actually achieved the highest level of martial arts, the professional ninth dan."

Jiang Siwei tapped the table with her finger.

"Above this level is the 'Grandmaster,' who has leaped over the dragon gate. Some professionals in the inner circle even predict that he will definitely break through the limit within a year..."
