250: Chapter 247 Ye Xinghe's Contribution
On the square of the tournament space, accompanied by flashes of light, sparse figures numbering over a hundred appeared on the square, forming a sharp contrast with the over 600,000 figures from before.
It could be said.
Being able to break through the encirclement from hundreds of thousands of Earth Martial Artists, these hundred-plus people were definitely the elites among Earth Martial Artists, and their strengths could be considered quite impressive. However.
Almost everyone's gaze was locked onto Fang Yu. Of course, many people's gazes would also sweep across Zhuang Yiliu and Williams, and their eyes were filled with awe and dread.
There was no other way.
The preliminary scores of the three of them were simply too exaggerated; Fang Yu had obtained 10 million points, and Zhuang Yiliu and Williams had also exceeded 8 million points. Ajay, who followed closely behind, had just passed 4 million points.
Everyone knew very well that the further along the preliminaries went, the more terrifying the defenders became, and killing even one was difficult. Being able to obtain 10 million points like Fang Yu, one could imagine his slaughter efficiency.
"This Fang Yu is too exaggerated."
"10 million points, how did he do it? Wasn't he only made an Earth Martial Artist half a year ago?"
"Solely speaking of his progress speed, he is far more exaggerated than Williams."
"No wonder he could slay the Sky-Patrol Beast King." Many people were whispering quietly. If it could be said that previously when Fang Yu's name spread everywhere, many people in their hearts were still unconvinced, after all, they had not seen it with their own eyes.
Then in this preliminary round, Fang Yu's performance completely conquered these top-tier Earth Martial Artists.
"Fang Yu, the way they look at you is different; they seem so clear-eyed." Zhuang Yiliu stood beside Fang Yu, saying with a hint of teasing: "You simply went crazy killing, actually killing your way straight through the combat space."
"You and Williams only held back. If you both fought with all your might, you should have been able to get 10 million points as well." Fang Yu smiled. He had easily killed his way through without even displaying his second innate Divine Ability, the 'Void Wings'.
According to Fang Yu's estimate, based on Master's words, Zhuang Yiliu and Williams's strength probably both improved, and killing through should be achievable. The reason why their scores were only 8 million points was simply because of the one-hour limit.
"The score is pretty much enough." Zhuang Yiliu shook her head, then her gaze swept across again: "But then again, there really are quite a few whose techniques have reached the Unity of Heaven and Man. Including us, I estimate there are about ten people."
"This is still considered few." Fang Yu smiled: "The tournament notice was only issued on the 16th, and today is only the 25th, so there aren't many Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists whose techniques have reached the Unity of Heaven and Man."
"When half a year passes."
"When entering the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, if there is no limit on the number of people, I reckon our Blue Moon Civilization can gather two hundred Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists." Fang Yu said.
Zhuang Yiliu thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true."
Ordinary Earth Martial Artists did not know.
But Fang Yu and Zhuang Yiliu were both Level 1 Inspectors, and with sufficient authority, they were both very clear that the number of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists in the Blue Moon Civilization had already exceeded seven thousand.
And most of these Sky-Patrol Martial Artists had grown up in the past thirty years.
It sounded like a lot, but dispersed across the entire civilization, it wasn't much.
But like the Eight Great Martial Artist Groups in Huguang Province, coupled with the official forces of the Xia Country, there were only twenty-odd Sky-Patrol Martial Artists. Throughout the native Xia Country of Blue Star, there were only about a thousand Sky-Patrol Martial Artists.
There were over four thousand Sky-Patrol Martial Artists born on Blue Star, and nearly three thousand Sky-Patrol Martial Artists belonged to New Moon... This was the backbone Martial Artist strength of the Blue Moon Civilization.
In the past decade or so.
The number of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists born in the Blue Moon Civilization each year was close to 400, and the overall growth rate was still accelerating.
In fact, it could also be basically judged from the annual number of Starry Sky Seeds... There were as many as several hundred Tier 2 Starry Sky Seeds every year, and over ten thousand Level 3 Starry Sky Seeds; they were the main force giving birth to Sky-Patrol Martial Artists.
Speaking of the total number of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists.
Among the 43 newborn civilizations of the Primal Star, the Blue Moon Civilization still belonged to the lower-middle tier.
But speaking of the annual increase in numbers, according to Fang Yu's estimate, even if the Blue Moon Civilization wasn't first, it was definitely in the first tier, sufficient to rival some relatively powerful civilizations like the Yunshui Civilization.
There was no other way!
The virtual world 'Tianlan Realm' was fully rolled out to Earth Martial Artists, coupled with the key cultivation of the Secret Realm Base, the probability of producing Sky-Patrol Martial Artists was far higher than other civilizations.
During the few days of vacation at home.
Relying on his 'Level 1 Inspector' authority, Fang Yu queried a lot of confidential data, increasingly feeling the massive contributions made to the civilization by Chief Ye Xinghe. The Secret Realm Base and Secret Realm treasure lands were mainly established by Ye Xinghe.
The Tianlan Realm was able to be fully rolled out also because back then he established a separate 'Star-Slaying Galaxy-Level Virtual Mainframe', completing the infrastructure work. The virtual star network fee of the Blue Moon Civilization plummeted significantly, and the overall usage cost of the Tianlan Realm consequently dropped by more than 95%.
Otherwise, in many newborn civilizations, only Sky-Patrol Martial Artists could use the virtual world 'Tianlan Realm'.
Without the Tianlan Realm, the progress speed of martial arts geniuses would naturally be much slower.
"Moreover, according to some recent rumors."
"The virtual mainframe of our Blue Moon Civilization is about to usher in a major upgrade. By then, the Mental Energy restriction of 35 for logging into the Tianlan Realm will be further lowered to level 20. At that time, a large number of intermediate and Advanced Martial Artists will be able to enter the Tianlan Realm to Cultivate." Fang Yu thought to himself: "With the assistance of the Tianlan Realm, the speed at which our Blue Moon Civilization produces Earth Martial Artists will also skyrocket."
After the number of Earth Martial Artists increased.
The number of Sky-Patrol Martial Artists would naturally skyrocket, and the number of Starry Sky Martial Artists would increase accordingly... The increase in overall high-tier Martial Artists could further promote the gene evolution of the entire civilization, producing more martial arts geniuses.
This was a virtuous cycle.
"I really don't know how the Chief did it."
"Galaxy-level virtual mainframes, according to the data, many extremely strong Starry Sky Martial Artists couldn't afford to buy one in their entire lives, let alone upgrade it." Fang Yu sighed inwardly.
Virtual mainframe.
Even the lowest-grade 'Galaxy-level virtual mainframe' could never be bought with hundreds or thousands of tianlan coins.
In the past, the Martial Arts Tournament restricted participants to under 30 years old, resulting in a very small number of participating Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists; this session relaxed the age restriction, and the number of participating Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists naturally skyrocketed.
"Having a few more Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists is nothing." Zhuang Yiliu said calmly: "On the Primal Star, have we killed few Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists?" Fang Yu couldn't help smiling.
Indeed!
Quasi-Sky-Patrol Martial Artists with weaker strength now probably couldn't even withstand a single blade strike from him.
Right at this moment.
"The preliminaries are over. Congratulations on entering the main tournament. Each person can get at least 100 million Star Coins as a reward." A low voice sounded: "The main tournament will be one-on-one duels."
"On the 27th, the Top 64, Top 32, and Top 16 will be decided sequentially."
"On the 28th, the Top 8, Top 4, and the champion will be decided sequentially."
"I hope you all rest well in the next few days; perhaps someone will be able to have a Breakthrough... In this Martial Arts Tournament, even Starry Sky Martial Artists will watch the battle. The higher the ranking, the more likely you might be favored by Starry Sky Martial Artists and taken in as a Personal Disciple." The low voice dissipated: "Opportunities are rare." The host's voice caused a trace of yearning to surge in the eyes of many people.
Starry Sky Martial Artists watching?
In fact, among the 128 main tournament contestants, those who could enter the sect of a Starry Sky Martial Artist were an extremely small minority.
"The battle roster is out."
"Fang Yu's opponent is Fukuyama Kei, that unlucky bastard."
"He is bound to lose." When the battle roster came out, many people subconsciously looked at Fang Yu's first opponent, and Fukuyama Kei's expression also became extremely ugly. There were two people from Sakura Country who broke into the main tournament this time.
One was 'Hasegawa Taku', who broke into the top ten in the preliminaries, and the other was him.
Subconsciously, Fukuyama Kei looked at Fang Yu in the distance, but Fang Yu only cared about chatting with Zhuang Yiliu beside him, not glancing at him even once. Afterwards, Fang Yu and Zhuang Yiliu even turned into blurred phantoms and left.
"Are you even too lazy to look at me?" Fukuyama Kei thought to himself.
The preliminaries ended.
Fang Yu returned to the martial arts room and began trying to Cultivate another Star Power secret technique, Water-Fire Wings, using the water and fire source crystal.
Although it was impossible to Cultivate Water-Fire Wings to the double Perfection during the Martial Arts Tournament, Cultivating a bit more would make the might stronger by a fraction when displaying the innate Divine Ability 'Void Wings'.
To him, the preliminaries were just like a training session.
However, the entire Xia Country was completely boiling... This tournament could be called the largest grand event in the history of the Blue Moon Civilization, with over 10 billion people watching simultaneously, and one could imagine how high the popularity was.
At the same time.
In less than ten minutes after the preliminaries ended.
The 'preliminary combat footage' of the 128 main tournament contestants was edited and broadcast on the official page... You must know that during the live broadcast, all contestants didn't have real footage shown.
The currently edited combat footage naturally attracted countless viewers to watch.
In an extremely short time, the rebroadcast volume reached hundreds of millions, and the view count even exceeded 10 billion, with the one triggering the biggest discussion being 'Fang Yu'.
"So brutal."
"Everyone else was guarding and waiting for the defenders to kill their way over, but only Fang Yu actively slaughtered his way into the corridor."
"One strike per person."
"Too strong! Other contestants killed enemies with such hardship, while Fang Yu could kill several with a single strike... Killing a person every ten paces, leaving no trace for a thousand miles."
"This is what a tournament champion should look like."
"Who else dares to say Fang Yu cannot win the championship?"
"Simply invincible."
"Earlier there were still quite a few people saying Almeida's talent is higher than Fang Yu's. Look at the comparison; it's not because their ages are similar that their talents are the same."
Not only were countless viewers in the Xia Country boiling with excitement, but the official livestream rooms of various countries in the Blue Moon Civilization were also conducting large-scale rebroadcasts.
Countless viewers began turning into fans of 'Fang Yu'.
Although Zhuang Yiliu and Williams also revealed powerful strength... compared to Fang Yu's move of actively slaughtering into the corridor, they were much inferior in sensory impact.
This invincible posture that truly gave people a sense of surpassing all heroes was extremely rare in past Martial Arts Tournaments.
"Fang Yu is destined to become a Starry Sky Martial Artist in the future."
"He might even become the pillar holding up the sky of the Alliance, an peerless powerhouse like Ye Xinghe." All kinds of news were spreading wildly on the internet, and overnight, countless 'fans' of Fang Yu appeared.
Extremely fanatical.
"This is building momentum."
Wang Heng said with quite a bit of emotion: "To be more precise, it's creating a god! It's just that Fang Yu, at such a young age, is building momentum on such a large scale, bearing the expectant gazes of tens of billions of people across the entire civilization. Who knows whether this is good or bad."
Two years ago, he was also the champion of the Martial Arts Tournament, but the propaganda intensity was inferior by more than a hundred times.
"Expectation is also a kind of tempering."
"A true powerhouse is not afraid of expectations and pressure." Ye Yungui smiled: "Pressure is also motivation... My dad and Speaker Adam and the others probably also hope that a super powerhouse can truly be born."
"Mhm."
"No matter what, I'm afraid I'm going to profit again this time." Wang Heng grinned and smiled: "Judging from the preliminaries, Fang Yu's strength has the highest probability of being first."
"You guy." Ye Yungui shook his head.
Two days passed in a flash, and the time arrived at eight o'clock in the evening on August 27th.
Today was the first day of the main tournament.
The second day of the main tournament would not have video live broadcasts, but only 'text live broadcasts'. Therefore, the livestream popularity skyrocketed unprecedentedly, and the number of viewers exceeded 20 billion at an astonishing speed, rapidly approaching 22 billion.
You must know that the total population of the Blue Moon Civilization was only 30 billion.
This was already approaching an extreme limit.
And because all matches of the first day were conducted simultaneously, the official livestream rooms on the internet were divided into 64 livestream rooms... And the one with the highest popularity was undoubtedly Fang Yu's livestream room.
