Master Xu, Xu Hong, Dai Tongda, Dai Xiaoqing, Wang Yi, Li Miaomiao, and many others who had been eliminated had returned to the viewing platform of the livestream.

　　"This preliminary round of the World Martial Arts Tournament, for those of us with weaker strength, is like a festive celebration, where everyone goes to join in the fun," Dai Tongda said with emotion. "But for those fourth-order limit experts, it's a truly cruel competition."

　　"Yes."

　　Xu Hong also nodded. "The virtual world has been open for more than ten months, and there are already over a hundred fourth-order limit experts, but there are only 32 places in the main competition! For these fourth-order limit experts, the competition is indeed cruel."

　　Li Miaomiao, Dai Xiaoqing, and others all agreed. The gap between them was too large, so they could happily participate and experience the intensity of the preliminary round.

　　"I didn't even make it into the top hundred," Wang Yi said, shaking her head.

　　"Sister Yi, archers are still at a disadvantage," Dai Xiaoqing comforted.

　　Wang Yi, however, looked at the livestream screen. "No, it can only be said that I'm not strong enough. There are still three archers among the sixty-odd people on the field."

　　The hosts and guests were also discussing archers.

　　"In such a close range, being attacked by assassins, it's indeed not easy for archers to hold on," male guest Jin Fan said.

　　Annie, the female guest beside him, nodded. "The archers who are still persisting are Andrew from our White Eagle Federation, Zhou Yi from Xia, and Yesarova from the Rosha Nation. Yesarova is really beautiful, and her archery skills are also very attractive."

　　"Yesa!"

　　"Yesarova!"

　　"Yesa, I love you!"

　　Countless comments were scrolling. The number of players on the field was gradually decreasing, but Yesarova's popularity was very high.

　　"So beautiful," Wang Yi said, watching, unable to help but admire.

　　Yesarova looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face and fair, crystalline skin that seemed like it could be broken with a touch. She was like an angel descending to the mortal world! Her beauty was radiant. At this moment, she was wearing silver armor, her long silver hair simply tied up, holding a bow and arrow. The arrows were like light, shooting down all the assassins.

　　Her smile alone, the images of her shooting assassins, had conquered countless fans.

　　This world also values looks.

　　People like Xu Jingming, Tiano, and Liu Hai had many fans, but in terms of 'fervent, loyal fans', they might not be able to catch up with Yesarova. Although Yesarova had only gradually risen to prominence in recent months, she had many fervent fans.

　　"Among the three archers, Yesarova's archery is the most dazzling. Any assassin is instantly killed the moment they appear," the female host praised. "Andrew and Zhou Yi are clearly having a harder time."

　　Andrew was quick and agile, dodging while rapidly shooting arrows.

　　Zhou Yi, on the other hand, stood in the center, not moving more than a meter. He displayed the ultimate in rapid-fire archery! He completely overwhelmed his enemies with a terrifying number of arrows.

　　Fortunately, under the rules of the preliminary round, the archers' 'quivers' had an unlimited supply of arrows.

　　"Pfft."

　　No matter how fast Andrew dodged, the 20-meter by 20-meter range was ultimately too small. A slight mistake in his footwork, and he was quickly overwhelmed by assassins.

　　Only two archers remained—Zhou Yi and Yesarova.

　　Yesarova's archery was still dazzling, but Zhou Yi's situation was gradually deteriorating, but he was still holding on.

　　Another Xia expert was now unable to hold on.

　　"I can't even get into the top fifty?" Tie Lianyun tried his best to block with his shield, but among the many hidden weapons, a throwing knife still grazed his neck. Tie Lianyun's body also began to turn illusory. As his body became illusory, Tie Lianyun also glanced around.

　　Those who were still persisting were all top talents from around the world. He, Tie Lianyun, could no longer be ranked in the top 50.

　　He worked very hard! Practicing martial arts to the point of madness!

　　He even practiced to the point where he thought he was part of martial arts, hypnotizing himself in terms of thinking. The fervor of his martial arts practice was imaginable.

　　"My master said that I should spend more time thinking and comprehending, instead of just burying myself in practice," Tie Lianyun muttered. "But I have already tried very hard to comprehend and think. Whether it's the virtual world or the real world, I have never dared to slack off."

　　"Everyone is trapped at the fourth-order limit. At this time, what is being compared is actual combat ability. But, I can't even compare to others in terms of actual combat ability!"

　　Tie Lianyun felt powerless.

　　In the past World Martial Arts Tournaments, there were so few competitors, and more emphasis was placed on physical talent. He was able to stumble and reach the top of the world.

　　But in today's World Martial Arts Tournament, with everyone in the world competing, he can't even get into the top 50!

　　…

　　As Xia's famous experts were eliminated one by one, the people of Xia were saddened, but they could still treat it with a normal heart. But… when a swordsman using dual blades also turned illusory, the people of Xia stirred.

　　"What?"

　　"Lei Yunfang was also eliminated?"

　　"That's Lei Yunfang!"

　　In the earliest days, the strongest in Xia were Liu Hai and Lei Yunfang. They were the highest level. During the previous Tinder Cup competition, they were the fixed Team 1 and Team 2.

　　But when they saw Lei Yunfang's body turn illusory, countless people in Xia felt empty and complicated.

　　"Over a hundred people around the world are trapped at the fourth-order limit. At this time, what is being compared is actual combat," Lei Yunfang's footwork was distorted by the impact, and he understood his own problem when he was pierced through the back with a spear. "I have spent too much effort on footwork, but for swordsmanship… my heart is not sincere enough."

　　Both were fourth-order limits; in terms of footwork, he was more skilled than Miyagawa Akari.

　　However, Miyagawa Akari was sincere in the way of the sword, and his dual-blade skills were much stronger than Lei Yunfang's. In the many confrontations around the world, Miyagawa Akari's fame had always been greater than Lei Yunfang's.

　　"I also practice swordsmanship very seriously."

　　"But what I love is footwork. But my footwork cannot break through to the fifth order." Lei Yunfang was desolate at this moment. His swordsmanship was powerful, but compared to the many geniuses around the world, his swordsmanship became his weakness.

　　…

　　Xu Jingming held dual shields. A 20-meter range was too small for him. He could reach any point around him in one step. Whenever an assassin appeared, he would smash them with a shield.

　　All the assassins were smashed into nothingness! Not one could withstand a single blow!

　　Xu Jingming could even spare the time to pay attention to all directions, and he also saw Lei Yunfang being eliminated.

　　"Senior Lei Yunfang has a high talent in footwork, but he lacks in other aspects," Xu Jingming sighed secretly when he saw this. "Of the three kings of the martial arts world back then, now Senior Lei Yunfang and Kui Sheng Mills have been eliminated and can't even get into the main competition."

　　Yes, among the experts who are still persisting on the field, only Alan Emelianenko, of the three kings of the martial arts world back then, remains.

　　Alan Emelianenko's combat skills are indeed high enough, and his actual combat is strong enough to hold on.

　　"Counting me, there are still eight people from Xia who are persisting," Xu Jingming looked. "Japan still has Miyagawa Akari supporting them, New Korea has no one left, India still has three people persisting…"

　　The fourth order to the fifth order is a very huge improvement.

　　Cell-level control allows for all-round improvements in strength, speed, and agility, as well as improved combat precision. Not to mention the substantial improvement in physical fitness after the 'planetary lifeform' is completed.

　　When the combat strength of the fourth-order limit is generally around 100,000, Xu Jingming's combat strength has reached the million level!

　　Therefore, he could naturally cope with the test that was extremely difficult for the fourth-order limits.

　　"No!" When Malaysia's top expert, Manpa, was also overwhelmed by assassins, the number of players on the field finally changed from 33 to 32. At this moment, hundreds of millions of Malaysians wailed. Their national experts had also been completely wiped out.

　　"It's over." Xu Jingming clearly judged the situation on the field, and the assassins who had just appeared also stopped moving and then dissipated.

　　All the assassins, including the translucent barrier, disappeared.

　　Only 32 people were left standing on the vast land. Countless viewers in the virtual world's official livestream were watching these 32 people. They were the strongest 32 people in the world in this era!
