Those who made it to the end each had different states of mind.

Tiano Cire was smiling, looking left and right like a young man watching a show! Gongchuan Mingxin, Akinlov, Merritt, Zhao Fan, and several other recognized global geniuses had solemn expressions because they had struggled to earn their spots in the main competition, and they naturally felt a lot of pressure about the upcoming 'main competition'.

"I was already pushed to my limit just now, and I even felt like I could fail at any moment," Zhao Fan thought silently. "And this is only the end of the preliminaries! It means that among the final 32, my strength is almost at the bottom."

Zhao Fan had only come into contact with martial arts after the virtual world opened, and then he showed extraordinary talent! This preliminary round of the World Martial Arts Tournament poured a bucket of cold water on his head, giving him a clearer understanding of his own strength.

"The Sakura Country only has me left in the main competition. I'm carrying the expectations of the people on my shoulders. But I have no confidence in the next main competition at all," Gongchuan Mingxin said silently.

Liu Hai also observed his surroundings. Most of the professional experts he used to be familiar with had been surpassed, and very few were still at the peak.

"There are seven people from Xia Country who have entered the main competition this time," Liu Hai observed. He himself, Xu Jingming, Zhou Yi, Zhang Qing, Tu Ling, Zhao Fan, and Fang Yu made a total of seven. "Many of them are young people. Most of my old friends have been surpassed."

In this era, everyone is practicing evolution methods, and those who improve slower will be surpassed!

…

Suddenly, a grand voice echoed between heaven and earth: "Congratulations to everyone for obtaining a spot in the main competition of this tournament. Based on your performance in the preliminary rounds, the virtual world has determined the grouping arrangements for the main competition."

At the same time, the detailed groupings for the tournament appeared in the sky.

The 32 people from all over the world were divided into eight groups! Four people in each group.

"The group stage of the World Martial Arts Tournament will be held over two days."

"On the first day, the group stage for Group 1 to Group 4 will be held. On the second day, the group stage for Group 5 to Group 8 will be held."

"The top two in each group can enter the next round of the knockout stage. The last two will be eliminated."

The grand voice spoke.

Xu Jingming and the others were also watching the detailed groupings displayed in the sky.

"That little girl Tu Ling is in Group 1, Tiano Cire is in Group 2, Master Liu Hai is in Group 3, and Madeline Logan is in Group 4." Xu Jingming paid attention to those experts who performed easily during the preliminaries. For example, Madeline Logan wore a pair of gloves and fought close-quarters. She was very relaxed throughout the preliminaries. Xu Jingming could be sure that this woman named Madeline Logan had fully reached Tier 5.

He wasn't surprised. After all, more than a hundred people have reached the limit of Tier 4, and anyone can break through to Tier 5.

"Yeshalova is in Group 5, Haru Singh is in Group 7, and Tiger Fosson is in Group 8," Xu Jingming watched. "And I am in Group 6!"

"There are also nearly ten people who are relatively relaxed, and their strength is uncertain," Xu Jingming thought.

******

The World Martial Arts Tournament preliminaries were broadcast live in their entirety.

In the first round of the preliminaries, the Arrow Barrage, the atmosphere was still relatively relaxed, after all, those who were eliminated were weak.

In the second round, the Assassin's Pass, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and many of those who were eliminated were the strongest experts in a certain country.

The entire preliminary round lasted more than an hour.

"Tomorrow is the start of the main competition."

"The preliminaries were so tense, the main competition will definitely be more intense." Countless people began to leave, and the female host and three guests were still talking about the contestants, envisioning the main competition tomorrow.

…

In Xu Jingming's personal space, in the living room of the house, Xu Jingming's relatives and friends gathered together.

"The threshold for this competition is too high. Zhou Yi's final archery rapid-fire was starting to become unsustainable. If it had been delayed by another five seconds, he would have been defeated," Xu Hong said. "Not only him, but several other players were very勉强, considered a thrilling escape."

"Zhou Yi is already one of only two archers in this competition," Wang Yi said. "To obtain a spot in the main competition with archery skills is really amazing."

She is also a Tier 4 limit archer and has the most say.

"However, Zhou Yi happened to be assigned to the same group as the captain. In their group, the captain is definitely the first in the group, and the other three are fighting for the second place in the group," Wang Yi said.

"Xu Ge's Group 6 is quite strong," Yang Qingshuo said with emotion. "Xu Ge, Zhou Yi, John Pierre, and Gongchuan Mingxin! Each of them is a powerful figure, of course, the most powerful in this group is still Xu Ge."

Xu Jingming smiled slightly. At least from what he saw in the preliminaries, none of these three should have broken through.

Only breaking through to Tier 5 can give him a little challenge! Otherwise, the gap is really too big.

******

Starting on the evening of June 2nd, all the matches for Groups 1 to 4 of the World Martial Arts Tournament main competition will be held. Before the competition even started, the official live broadcast room had already gathered countless viewers.

One of the stands.

Pang Ze watched the match with his wife and son.

"Brother Pang, you've come to watch the competition too?" An old man walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Li." Pang Ze got up to greet him and shook hands with him. "This is the first global competition since Blue Star opened the virtual world, and it can also show the most talented and promising people among billions of people. How can we miss such a competition?"

The old man nodded and said, "This competition can show us the most promising people on Blue Star. At that time, we can also invest in one or two of them, which can be considered as establishing a good relationship."

The two chatted, naturally isolating the surrounding sounds so that only they could hear.

"There is no need for us to invest. The country will naturally cultivate them, and the entire civilization will also cultivate them," Pang Ze said. "The most important thing for us now is to do our own thing well."

The old man looked at Pang Ze: "I don't know how Brother Pang has considered my last proposal?"

"Not interested." Pang Ze shook his head.

"Brother Pang, you are all-knowing and wise. But the only problem is that you are too stable." The old man shook his head. "Sometimes being too stable will miss many opportunities. The person I introduced to you is a descendant of a cosmic family! The family territory has more than ten administrative stars and dozens of star systems. That person now needs good helpers, and Blue Star Civilization has also approved my plan..."

"I'm not participating." Pang Ze shook his head and refused.

The old man frowned secretly.

Looking around the world, there are only a handful of people he values, and Pang Ze ranks first among them! It's a pity that Pang Ze doesn't pay much attention to him.

"Well, well, everyone has their own pursuits. But Brother Pang, you have to understand that if you miss an opportunity, you miss it." The old man then left.

Pang Ze frowned slightly, then looked at the commentary platform: "This old guy is too opportunistic. Although he occasionally gets great gains, as long as he fails, it may be an irrecoverable disaster. In the vast universe, one's own strength is the foundation."

Pang Ze didn't like this old man's style, although the old man's conspiracies and calculations were very strong, and now he was a loyal subordinate of that cosmic family descendant, the bigger the plan, the farther Pang Ze wanted to stay away from it.

"This old guy only reports good news and not bad news to the Blue Star Alliance. I can vaguely judge that his plan has great risks," Pang Ze thought to himself. "He is now completely on the boat of that family descendant. Well, even if he fails, it's just an individual failure. The Blue Star Civilization is protected by the laws of the Cosmic Human Alliance, so it can withstand some storms."

The Blue Star Civilization can withstand some storms, but he, Pang Ze, cannot withstand them, and he dare not get involved.

"Dad, the main competition has started." His son Pang Yun said excitedly, "The first group is our Xia Country's Tu Ling, Riven Gulit, Jobola, and Alan Emelianenko."

Pang Ze stopped thinking about it and began to watch the game seriously: "I hope that this competition will allow us to see enough amazing experts in the Blue Star Civilization. The technological progress of civilization is very slow, and only the path of evolution may allow us to overtake on a curve! So that the Blue Star Civilization has enough confidence to deal with other cosmic civilizations."

At this moment, in addition to Pang Ze, many big figures on Blue Star were also watching this competition, and they all had pressure. As the top leaders of the entire civilization, they were increasingly aware of what the Blue Star Civilization was facing.

And this competition was a selection of geniuses from billions of people, and it was also the hope of the civilization.

"I hope a peerless genius will emerge."

"The Blue Star Civilization needs strong people to appear on the path of evolution."

Many high-level officials in Blue Star silently hoped.
