Chapter 23 Watching the Competition

Countless viewers were now paying attention to the rankings and watching the pre-selection matches on the live broadcast.

The Xia Country official live broadcast room was extremely spacious, simultaneously presenting 821 live scenes, one of which was the 'main scene'.

"Only thirty-third place? Zheng Bailong, you are at least a second-tier expert." Cheng Zihao was indeed a little anxious. "The teammates I equipped you with are all experts. After investing so much money, I need to see some results."

"Must be in the top thirty, no, top twenty-eight." Cheng Zihao watched the ranking changes. "According to the competition system, the last two will have to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeded teams. If you encounter Liu Hai or Lei Yunfang's team, you will definitely be eliminated."

"Top twenty-eight!" Cheng Zihao stared. "I invested the money, Zheng Bailong, you have to get results for me."

At the same time, Cheng Zihao glanced at Xu Jingming's team.

"A team that didn't spend much money is now ranked fifth?" Cheng Zihao felt uncomfortable. The role of money didn't seem that great.

…

"Sister Yi, go!" Li Miaomiao zoomed in on the live broadcast screen, making the Limu team's live broadcast screen rapidly enlarge in her view, so she could clearly see Xu Jingming and his team resisting the impact of the Orc Legion.

"Sister Yi's archery is so amazing." Xiao Zeng exclaimed, "In the blink of an eye, she shoots nine arrows, and they are so accurate! When will I be one-tenth as good as Sister Yi?"

"Catch up with me first." Sister Kong laughed, "That Cheng Zihao's White Dragon Team is currently ranked thirty-third. I bet he's jumping up and down in a hurry now."

Li Miaomiao snorted softly, "In terms of throwing money, he can't compare with those big groups. In terms of individual strength, he doesn't have great experts like Liu Hai, Lei Yunfang, Zhou Yi, or even Jingming to attract experts to join him. His White Dragon Team has no future."

"Look, look, Xiaoqing's 'Fairy Posture Team' is so amazing." Li Miaomiao's eyes lit up. "Now ranked second, Zhang Qing Jie’s dual swordsmanship is so gorgeous. She actually takes the initiative to walk among the Orc Legion. Those orcs simply can't use their numerical advantage. Wherever Zhang Qing Jie goes, a large number of orcs fall."

"It's so cool." Sister Kong and Xiao Zeng were also mesmerized.

Now, the Xia Country official live broadcast room's 'main scene' was the Fairy Posture Team. The Fairy Posture Team was composed of five women, and their battle scenes were very gorgeous.

Among them was the unfailing archery of the divine archer 'Wang Nuan', Sun Yuting's shield and sword tactics, Yuan Yujiao's fierce and domineering double shields, and Dai Xiaoqing's wandering and changing dual blades. Even more gorgeous was the captain, Zhang Qing, who could fight against a thousand alone!

There was no need to cooperate with teammates at all. One person was in charge of charging into the Orc Legion. Wherever she passed, waves of orcs rolled and fell dead.

…

"Two teachers, what do you think of Zhang Qing from the Fairy Posture Team's swordsmanship?" asked the host, Liu Xin.

"Fairy posture fluttering." Liu Hai continued to smile, "No wonder the Fairy Posture Group wanted to sponsor Zhang Qing's team first. Zhang Qing's dual swordsmanship is indeed the most beautiful. Moreover, in the country, Zhang Qing should be number one in swordsmanship."

"Yes, her swordsmanship is very good." Lei Yunfang, who was used to being stern, nodded and commented, "But she is already over forty, Brother Liu Hai, you call her a little girl?"

"When I met her, she was still a junior high school student, participating in junior high school martial arts competitions." Liu Hai said, "Is there anything wrong with calling her a little girl?"

Lei Yunfang stopped talking and glanced at Liu Hai.

This old guy is over seventy! Professional martial arts players are almost all juniors in front of him.

"Teams with powerful archers have an advantage now." Liu Hai continued to comment, "But the situation will change later. The impact of light cavalry will be faster and fiercer than infantry. Heavy cavalry are covered in heavy armor, and even their heads are not exposed. It will be difficult for archers to play a role. At that time, it will depend on other teammates."

…

At this moment, in the stands.

"Sigh, lost." The handsome young man, Pang Yun, returned to the stands unwillingly and walked to a middle-aged couple.

"Son, that's not bad." The woman had a beautiful appearance and a noble aura, "Out of 821 teams, your team was not the first to be eliminated."

"But the record is ranked last." Pang Yun sat down and looked up at the ranking—821st: Happy Team (Captain Pang Yun), 22 kills. This was their team's final result because the entire team was killed in battle.

Pang Yun looked up, a little helpless, "Facing the impact of the Orc Legion, it was simply too terrifying. Various spears came from different angles, and there were also flying axes and other hidden weapons that directly smashed over. Our shield cooperation was very difficult to defend against. I think it's very good to be able to kill 22. But looking at Senior Zhang Qing, and looking at my master Xu Jingming and the others, they are all very relaxed. The impact of the Orc Legion cannot threaten them at all."

As he spoke, Pang Yun gently clicked to enlarge the battle scene of Xu Jingming's team.

Indeed, Xu Jingming was very relaxed.

He held a double shield in his hand. With a shake of the double shield, large groups of orcs staggered back. Wang Yi was well protected and could fire arrows to her heart's content.

"Your master is still very talented." The middle-aged man next to him nodded and commented, "I am very optimistic about his spearmanship talent. I didn't expect his shield skills to be good too."

"Dad, you asked me to practice spearmanship at the beginning, and you specifically asked me to learn spearmanship from Xu Jingming. I studied for three years. You also said that there was no need to exercise my body." Pang Yun looked at the middle-aged man and smiled, "Dad, did you know something in advance?"

The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other.

"This kid…" The middle-aged man looked at his son and said calmly, "You are not young anymore. Keep some things in your heart and don't tell others."

"I understand." Pang Yun nodded obediently.

"Our Xia Country is holding the Fire Seed Cup, and the White Eagle Federation, the Roman State, the Russia State and other countries are also holding cup competitions." The middle-aged man said, "The countries just hope to seize more hope."

"Seize hope?" Pang Yun pondered.

The woman next to him smiled and said, "Son, just practice your spearmanship well. Being able to enter the God level in more than a month after the virtual world opened, your dad and I are very satisfied. Continue to work hard later."

"Yes." Pang Yun responded immediately.

"Also…" The middle-aged man watched the screen of the Limu team, looking at the scene of Xu Jingming using his shield skills to resist the impact. In his vision, the battle scenes of Xu Jingming were slowed down tenfold. "Your master is worth making friends with. You can interact with him more."

"Oh?" Pang Yun nodded obediently and looked at his father. "Dad, what did you see again?"

The middle-aged man glanced at his son and helplessly didn't say much.

…

Life Evolution Bureau.

"Now the online audience in our Xia Country official live broadcast room has reached 1.028 billion, which is almost the limit, and it is still fluctuating." The secretary reported.

Director Zhou sat there, looking at the screen in front of him. With more than one billion viewers, the system also quickly locked on some key figures. These were all the figures that the entire Xia Country was focusing on.

Among them, there was only one figure, shrouded in purple light, which was marked.

"Hmm?"

Director Zhou smiled when he saw this scene, "It's rare for Little Pang to come and watch the Fire Seed Cup competition."

"Mr. Pang now spends an average of 22 hours a day in the virtual world, and his work is very hard." The secretary said, "But there is no need to worry about his health."

"Even if there is no need to worry about his physical health, he still needs to relax his mind." Director Zhou said, and immediately clicked on the screen to contact another friend. An old man appeared on the screen.

"Brother Fang, Little Pang is now in the virtual world for 22 hours a day?" Director Zhou said, "Isn't that too tiring?"

"We have also tried to persuade him, but he doesn't listen at all." The old man surnamed Fang said, "He said that now is the most critical moment, and he must seize every minute and every second."

"Hmm."

Director Zhou nodded, "In short, we must ensure that his body is always in the healthiest state."

"That's for sure." The old man surnamed Fang nodded, and then said, "Little Pang's side is one line. The martial arts experts you are responsible for are a more important line, a continuous line! I hope that this Fire Seed Cup competition can produce more genius experts."

Director Zhou nodded, "Let's work hard together."

"Let's work hard together." The old man surnamed Fang smiled slightly.
