58: Global Tournament Warm-up

The nature of the Global Finals immediately changed with the arrival of the Mohe Clan.

Everyone was very interested in being chosen as a contestant for the Race Duel.

This was an honor, and it would bring countless benefits.

The victor would ignite nationwide cheers, with various honors following one after another, and for this lifetime, they would be called a Human Race Hero.

They would even be written into Human Race history.

Although it was just an insignificant name, it was enough to leave a name in history.

The benefits were countless, including strong cultivation from the Human Race and rewards for winning the competition.

Even if one lost, as long as they were chosen for the Race Duel and didn't make mistakes, many organizations, units, and corporations would be scrambling to recruit them.

Occasionally, they could even boast, 'Back then, I almost became a Human Race Hero, but unfortunately, I lost in one move.'

At that time, while appearing regretful on the surface, they would likely be overjoyed inside, and those listening to their boasting would be envious and jealous that they participated in the Race Duel.

Therefore, the Global Finals this time were extremely intense.

Contestants from various countries were waiting to show off their skills.

Currently, the upper echelons had not yet revealed what kind of person was specifically needed for the Race Duel, but being the best performer oneself was sufficient.

Lin Ye also went completely crazy.

Train, train, train.

He didn't expect to encounter such a good opportunity at the beginning of his life; if he didn't seize it, he would look down on himself.

His teammates also burst forth with power; they were nearing retirement, and to have such a good opportunity before retiring, they felt they would be letting themselves down if they didn't give it their all.

The date of the Global Finals thus quietly arrived.

The final venue was the capital of Beautiful Country.

Due to the extraordinary significance of this competition, to help their country's contestants achieve better results, the Xia Country official directly mobilized the power of the state machinery.

They equipped all the teams with top-tier logistics teams, the People's Soldiers.

This included tactical masters, operations managers, nutritionists, psychological counselors, and Ninth-Order healers.

This luxurious lineup far exceeded club configurations, so the clubs were also very compliant, only sending some people for communication, with the rest handled by the People's Soldiers.

Jet lag didn't affect ability users; after settling into the reliable hotel, the team analysts had already begun helping them analyze the current situations of various countries.

There were 81 teams in the Finals; large countries formed their own divisions, while smaller countries formed alliances.

The competition format was surprisingly not the familiar three modes, and the promotion method had changed.

The first round was a task mode, which would eliminate most teams, leaving only 16 teams to compete.

The remaining rounds were still task mode, but several rounds would be held, such as 16 into 8, 8 into 4, and so on.

Each promotion would be conducted in task mode.

Lin Ye was secretly alarmed; did this epic strengthening of the task mode imply something?

He had already guessed the Mohe Clan's criteria for selecting candidates.

Everyone wasn't stupid; the epic strengthening of the task mode made everyone realize what it meant.

The Xia Country division had always been a very strong division, along with Beautiful Country and Mao Xiong, known as the three giants; the top few spots in previous sessions usually came from the three giant divisions.

Naturally, Lin Ye and his team primarily needed to focus on these two countries.

Each of the three giants had eight teams.

It must be said that professionals are indeed amazing; when Lin Ye and his team had just landed, the information on contestants from various countries had already been thoroughly investigated by various covert forces, and recent progress was also recorded with comparative data.

Even some verbal tics, behavioral habits, and underwear colors were clearly researched.

Lin Ye was deeply shocked and terrified.

He knew that his information had likely also been stolen by other countries.

Oh no, the fact that he wears cartoon underwear has been exposed.

However, the more he understood, the more relaxed he became.

Fortunately, people from various countries wore all kinds of underwear, and some even preferred the freedom of breathing.

Well, that doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Since the research mainly focused on strong teams, even with a lot of information, it only took some time to memorize it.

Then came the emphasis on alliances from the analysts.

Alliances were often possible in task mode.

Undoubtedly, the eight teams from the Xia Country division were naturally one big, loving family; in the days leading up to the competition, they frequently greeted each other.

Since Fish Brother wasn't here, a pleasant social gathering couldn't be held.

The People's Soldiers were all very upright, so they naturally wouldn't arrange such activities.

However, to deepen the bond between the teams, they often trained together and took beatings together.

Alliances with other countries were also very important.

Xia Country, by consistently adhering to a policy of peaceful diplomacy and mutual benefit, had a considerable good reputation internationally.

Unfortunately, due to historical issues, Beautiful Country had friendly relations with many strong nations on Blue Star.

Its number one lackey, the Europa region, was composed of multiple countries; although their team strength was not strong due to dispersed power, they had a large number, a full sixteen teams.

Among its strong lackeys were Elephant Country, Yamato Country, and Asiba Country, which together also had a full ten teams.

Fortunately, Xia Country and Mao Xiong formed an alliance, and the remaining weaker countries also joined the alliance one after another.

Although Xia Country and Mao Xiong also had some friction, with a formidable enemy at hand, they naturally chose to unite.

The analyst, being a People's Soldier, was very professional in this regard, and Lin Ye also gained a deeper understanding of judging friends and foes.

Before the competition, Xia Country, in conjunction with Mao Xiong, compiled and analyzed information on all teams, creating a ranking.

Prosperity ranked ninth.

First, Beautiful Country's Avengers Alliance team.

Second, Xia Country's Nebula Team.

Third, Mao Xiong's Big Ivan Team.

Fourth, Elephant Country's Brahmin Team.

Fifth, Yamato Country's Takamagahara Team.

Sixth, Asiba Country's Si Mi Da Team.

Seventh, Beautiful Country's Forbes Team.

Eighth, Beautiful Country's Alpha Team.

Ninth, Xia Country's Prosperity Team.

Tenth, Mao Xiong's Boreas Team.

...

The paper data of each team was very clear.

There was a very obvious gap between the top three teams and the teams behind them.

Almost every one of them had dominant-level strength.

For example, Nebula had Zhang Tianci.

Zhang Tianci's profession, Glutton, was already top-tier, and he himself had strong talent, spent heavily, almost mastered all his skills and abilities, and his Star Power physique was also top-notch.

He alone could contend against a professional squad.

He was truly terrifying.

And among the top three teams, each had a super pervert similar to Zhang Tianci.

Beautiful Country's Avengers Alliance had Magneto Cop Johnson and Scarlet Witch Helena.

Mao Xiong had Tungsten Steel Giant Ilich.

These were all super geniuses, beings who dominated an era.

They were also evergreen players in the professional scene; except for Johnson, who was a newly dominant combatant, the others had more or less played in professional leagues for a long time.

Lin Ye was secretly alarmed; he didn't expect these people to be so amazing without cheats.

However, it was understandable; money power sometimes might not be worse than cheats.

Besides these four, the remaining top-tier combatants were at the level of Lin Ye and Chen Ou.

Their skills and abilities had partially reached the master level.

Or like Lin Ye, all his abilities were divine, and all his skills were mastered.

There was a significant gap between divine-level abilities and master-level abilities, roughly two to three times the effect difference.

And this was also the reason Lin Ye could fight above his rank.

It was by relying on much more ability amplification than others that he leveled the playing field despite the rank difference.
