Aside from that, the second most talked-about country in the world is naturally the Xia Kingdom.
The Xia Kingdom's Earth-Moon route plan is currently halfway complete.
If you look up at dusk, you can see a row of points of light reflecting the sunlight in a straight line.
Those points of light are 'space service stations'.
All major industrial cities in the Xia Kingdom are operating at full capacity for construction.
In particular, the northern and southwestern industrial zones, where construction was in full swing, also welcomed extraordinary individuals from all over the world who came to witness this world-changing project.
Chengdu
At this time, the country rebuilt itself at the fastest speed since the last time the entire Shu capital was destroyed.
The entire city was built around the central 'Miracle Forest', and it became not only more prosperous than before, but also the number one extraordinary holy land in the Xia Kingdom because of the 'Miracle Forest'.
Every extraordinary individual in the Xia Kingdom dreams of entering the 'Forest of Miracles' and comprehending their own unique skills from the 'God's Stele'.
Besides the people of Xia Kingdom, foreigners are also qualified to enter the 'Miracle Forest', but they must participate in the extraordinary competition held once a month and achieve seven consecutive victories.
To put it simply, it's a super-powered fighting game open to everyone; you just need to win seven matches in a row to qualify.
The Xia Kingdom government did not choose to keep it all to themselves, after all, it was a gift from the gods to all extraordinary beings.
Choosing to hold a nationwide extraordinary combat event is not only about training the combat skills of the entire population, but also about transforming Chengdu into a global extraordinary holy land, rather than keeping it closed off for its own aloof enjoyment.
Once this concept takes root in people's hearts, then in the future, all extraordinary individuals in the world will subconsciously believe that Xia Kingdom is equivalent to an extraordinary holy land.
The Chengdu Arena is enormous, more than five times the size of the former stadium. In the beginning, it was packed with people every day, but now that people have gotten used to it, the number of attendees has dropped by more than half. Even so, the number of spectators exceeds 20,000 every day.
Half of these people are extraordinary individuals from all over the world who came to Xia Kingdom specifically to enter the 'Miracle Forest'.
"Now it's Tabolaha, a third-tier superhuman from South America. He has defeated superhumans from Australia, Denmark, Japan, Thailand, and Egypt in a row, achieving five consecutive victories. He only needs two more battles to qualify for the Miracle Forest!"
"Then let's see who his next opponent is!"
As the host passionately recounted the story, a Native American superhuman appeared on the large screen in the arena, arms crossed, with reddish-brown skin and a face painted with colorful paint.
"Come on, I specifically cultivated to the late-stage peak of the third rank, almost reaching the fourth rank, before coming to participate in the competition. In the third rank, there is absolutely no one who can beat me. I'm definitely going to Miracle Forest." Tapolaha proudly looked around at the 20,000 spectators who were passionately shouting.
He is a late-stage Tier 3 player, so his opponent must also be a late-stage Tier 3 player, but certainly not as strong as him.
"His next opponent is! Chen Sihang, a late-stage third-tier transcendent from Wudang Mountain!"
In the contestants' passage, a middle-aged man in a blue Taoist robe walked in with his arms behind his back, exuding confidence.
The battlefield is extremely large, roughly equivalent to five football fields, enough to withstand battles between superhumans below the fourth rank.
Fourth-tier transcendents don't even need to participate in competitions; they are all important figures from their respective countries.
The audience erupted in cheers.
"Wow! It's actually Master Chen Sihang! I heard before that Wudang Mountain received a blessing from an immortal, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"Although I haven't seen Master Chen post any videos on Douyin, it must be real."
"Wudang Mountain is now the strongest sect in Xia Kingdom. It is said that their Wudang Mountain leader, Zhong Qingxuan, has become a fourth-level transcendent. Fourth level! There are only three fourth-level transcendents in our Sichuan-Chongqing region."
"Get your melon seeds ready! Today is a real treat for the eyes. Witnessing a battle between third-tier superhumans is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Yes, a city with several million people only has two or three third-tier superhumans."
"Although that Tabolaja is very strong, he only uses his power to intimidate people. Apart from his Brazilian capoeira which is somewhat interesting, everything else is too superficial."
"Do you think that superhumans in other regions have the same cultural heritage as our Xia Kingdom?"
"Hehe, that Brazilian kid is so proud now, he'll be so frustrated when he gets brutally beaten by Master Chen later."
Several extraordinary individuals from the Xia Kingdom's official ranks were also watching from the stands.
"Master Chen won without any suspense. In terms of skill and martial arts, Master Chen was even able to briefly hold his own against an ordinary fourth-level superhuman." Tao Jing calmly watched the competition with her arms crossed and commented.
“Even ordinary people in our Xia Kingdom can see this.” Yu Chengyue nodded with his hands behind his back: “That old guy from Wudang Mountain is still undeniably skilled in martial arts.”
"Moreover, Wudang Mountain truly received immortal techniques from immortals, and these were the most important methods for cultivating immortal power."
The head of Wudang Mountain found a series of precious items in the spatial teapot given to him by the immortal. Although they were all basic, they were enough to transform an ordinary superhuman.
"Although the power cultivated based on what the immortals taught cannot be considered true immortal power, it has still produced unique effects on elemental power," Tao Jing said.
Only those who reach the sixth rank can possess 'immortal power' and fuse their elemental power with 'divine wisdom'.
The essence of immortals' cultivation methods is to refine their own life force to form 'magic power'. Because this magic power is their own life force, they can have absolute control over it. Then, they can indirectly drive elemental forces through magic power, or perform various immortal techniques that require magic power to activate.
Those who are already capable of using elemental power will only become even stronger if they receive immortal cultivation methods.
Mark said regretfully, "If I were still at the third level, I would also like to spar with Master Chen."
Mo Cheng patted Mark on the shoulder and teased, "Mark, are you really disappointed that you broke through to the fourth rank in the dungeon? Why don't you go back and return it to the dungeon?"
"Screw you, we almost died in the dungeon." Mark kicked Mo Cheng in the butt.
"Yes, I really thought I was going to die. I even fainted at the last moment. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital," Erica said, hugging her arms and still feeling scared.
"It's good that you all came back alive." Tao Jing looked at the people behind her and smiled, "Our Xia Kingdom has gained a few more fourth-level extraordinary beings, especially Lin Yong, who has become the fourth fifth-level being in our Xia Kingdom."
"Mark and I broke through at the critical moment, which is how we defeated the floor boss. If either of us hadn't broken through, we would have died there." Lin Yong took a deep breath and shook his head.
Mark recalled the scene in his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Yes, if there had been even the slightest mistake, or if we had just been a little unlucky, we would all have been finished. The dungeon truly lives up to its reputation as a testing ground for the gods and the extraordinary, delivering a fatal blow when you are most arrogant."
"Wait a minute, the fourth Tier 5 Transcendent? Wasn't Brother Lin the third? Who's the last one?" Erica's eyes widened in surprise.
After visiting the underground city, she realized how difficult it is to break through to the fifth rank; there are fewer than fifteen fifth-rank superhumans on the entire Earth.
"It's Guli Xian'er, a folk extraordinary being from the Western Regions. She was among the first extraordinary beings in the Western Regions, organizing adventure teams to venture deep into the wilderness to hunt down those beasts that devour the extreme in the mountains, and gradually becoming a fourth-tier extraordinary being," Tao Jing said admiringly.
The Western Regions were originally sparsely populated, making it difficult to hunt the Devouring Beasts in the wilderness. Yet, Guli Xian'er accomplished the feat of clearing one-fifth of the Western Regions' wilderness.
"Later, she was taken in as a disciple by an immortal named True Lord of Lishui Dieshan who settled in the Western Regions, and then she broke through to the fifth level, becoming the first extraordinary person in Xia Kingdom to break through to the fifth level without the Divine Eye."
"Brother Lin is still a step too late," Erica said regretfully.
"What's there to regret?" Lin Yong shook his head. He himself hadn't expected to break through to the fifth rank. He thought that reaching the fourth rank would already be a blessing from heaven.
Awoooooo...
Cheers erupted throughout the arena.
The match began, and the Brazilian superhuman, Tapolaja, let out a strange cry and charged straight at Master Chen.
After rushing to Master Chen, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he used the wind element to jump left and right in front of Master Chen, as if he were doing a high-energy dance, and his whole body became a blur.
"Heh, Capoeira, the Brazilian fighting dance, was indeed quite formidable in the past fighting world. However, even when combined with superhuman strength, it's just equivalent to second-rate martial arts in the Xia Kingdom's martial arts world." Master Chen put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other.
"Stop swaying back and forth, foreign friend. If you can make me move my foot even half a step, you win."
"You plan to fight me with only one hand?" Tabolaha couldn't help but blush. "Xia countryman, you underestimate me too much!"
He was a prominent figure in Brazil, ranking among the top ten, aside from the six fourth-tier superhumans stronger than him.
"Bring it on," Master Chen said with a smile, looking every bit the grandmaster.
In the stands, an old Taoist priest with gray hair stroked his beard and nodded: "Hmm, this kid Si Hang has some of the air of an old Taoist." But when it comes to showing off, he's still no match for me, the old Taoist.
"Oha!" Tapolaha cried out, his face flushed red. He quickly twisted his body and did what looked like a street dance. Then, unexpectedly, he squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and kicked Chen Daozhang in the face with his left leg.
His feet were wrapped in wind elemental power, like a warhammer, and this kick was enough to destroy a six-story building.
Master Chen slowly drew a circle with one hand, and instantly a yellowish-brown Tai Chi symbol formed around his body, which resembled a large bowl covering him.
hum~
As the Tai Chi symbol slowly rotated, Tabolaha's expression changed drastically the moment his foot struck it.
He only felt his feet being sucked in, the wind element on his feet being quickly dissipated, and then he lost his balance and was thrown up, spinning uncontrollably.
"What kind of power is this! Rock elementals could never have this kind of power!" Capolaha screamed.
"Haha, this is called Tai Chi power, using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds." Master Chen laughed heartily as he continued to draw circles with one hand, watching the Brazilian boy follow his Tai Chi movements, spinning around him without any ability to resist.
If you get stuck in his Tai Chi style and want to escape, it will take some effort.
"Holy crap! Master Chen is amazing!"
"Look at that Brazilian guy, he's spinning around like a noodle, hahaha."
"As expected of Master Chen, he managed to subdue the opponent with just one move."
"Is this the real Tai Chi? That's amazing!"
"Hahaha, the Brazilian guy was so proud of himself after beating those foreigners, but now watch our expert crush him."
Tapolaha unleashed his elemental power, breaking free from the shackles of Tai Chi, and resumed the fight. He charged forward four times in a row, but each time he was stuck and controlled, while Master Chen did not move an inch.
After the fifth, sixth, and seventh time, Tabolaha realized that his opponent was someone he could not defeat, so he decisively chose to concede defeat and walked out of the arena dejectedly.
This cast a shadow over him, which he could only attribute to the sheer wonder of the martial arts of the Xia people.
However, he did not give up. He was still prepared to continue the challenge, because he couldn't possibly encounter such formidable opponents every time.
The urban phase of Chengdu Tianfu Avenue.
This area now sells flying cars, ranging from gasoline-powered vehicles to the latest small spaceships capable of traveling directly in space.
This place brings together buyers from all over the world who want to travel between the Earth and the Moon.
"It's too expensive, it's really too expensive! Why do we foreigners have to pay double? Isn't this bullying foreigners?" An American cursed, pointing at the price sign in front of the shuttle-shaped spaceship, which was about the size of a bus.
"American, if you can't afford it, don't buy it. I'm not forcing you to." A superhuman from China rolled his eyes and pulled a card from his pocket, handing it to the salesperson.
He pointed to the disc-shaped spaceship, which was 20 meters long and 15 meters wide, in the field.
"This is the Kunpeng No. 1. I love big spaceships. It's a pity that the largest private spaceship currently available only has enough space for twenty people to live in."
"Another question: is there really no channel for public spaceships?"
"Really, sir. Public spaceships are government-run social service facilities for the general public and cannot be purchased by private individuals." The salesman shook his head with a smile.
Currently, Xia Guo has developed a space bus spaceship that can carry up to 300 passengers. The ticket price is only equivalent to ten days' wages for an ordinary person, which is basically a loss-making business. Only a country would do something that loses money.
“Alright, swipe your card. I’ll use my points to buy it; I’ve just used up all my points,” the superhuman said. “Then fill up my fuel tank. I’m going straight to space.”
"By the time I head to the newest space service station, the flight path will have been repaired to the vicinity of the moon."
The latest spacecraft takes about a month to travel from Earth to the Moon, and that's without stopping at a space service station along the way.
A stay at the space service station would take at least a month and a half.
