During the conversation, the number of viewers in the livestream room continued to rise.

Li Miaomiao watched in amazement. "The virtual world has only been open for nine hours, and everyone is already a bit tired, whether they're practicing evolution methods or battling. There are so many people watching the livestream. In just a moment, the official livestream room has already surpassed thirty million viewers."

"After all, it's the only livestream room pinned to the top of the viewing platform," Xu Jingming said, also watching the viewer count constantly jump.

At the commentary booth.

The host, Liu Xin, continued, "According to the information I have, no one in Xia Country has exceeded the Yao Ri (Sun-like) level 40-star yet. And Yao Ri level 50-star is the maximum... So, the only way to reach the God-level now is through the placement matches, which means their basic combat strength is at least 1200!"

"That's very difficult," Huang Yong said. "From what I understand, most ordinary professional players have a basic combat strength of only two to three hundred. Top professional experts who can compete in A-level martial arts events generally have a combat strength of 500 to 800, and those who can reach the World Martial Arts Competition generally don't exceed 1000."

"1200, what level is that? That's the level of someone who can potentially become a martial arts master!" Huang Yong laughed. "In my opinion, the current 33 God-level players are either famous figures in professional martial arts, legendary figures from other fighting styles, or folk heroes."

"Folk heroes?" Liu Xin asked in surprise.

"The common people hide dragons and crouching tigers," Huang Yong laughed. "Like when my master, Liu Hai, fought in the first World Martial Arts Competition, who knew he was so powerful?"

"There are also many female experts," Coach Qin Yiwen said. "Among humans, men and women each account for half. Now, with ten types of evolution methods, women also have five types of evolution methods, making them no less physically capable than men. It is foreseeable... that in the future, women will likely account for about half of the God-level experts."

"I'm also looking forward to the battlefield where experts from different fields compete," Huang Yong said.

Host Liu Xin suddenly said, "Our livestream room has already exceeded one hundred million viewers! As of this moment, there are already 33 God-level players in Xia Country. The first God-level battle has eight people ready, and it should begin soon. Before it starts, let's talk about the participating God-level experts."

"First, there are the three who are broadcasting publicly, Zhang Qian, nicknamed 'Panda'; Sun Yuting, known as 'Goddess of War'; and the archer, Wang Yi," Liu Xin said. "Head Coach Huang Yong must be very familiar with Zhang Qian."

"Panda Lao Zhang, the number one internet celebrity in the martial arts fighting field," Head Coach Huang Yong laughed. "He previously had over fifty million fans online and was known as the 'Martial Arts Kaleidoscope'. His 'Three-Point Double-Edged Blade' definitely has the level of a martial arts master."

Coach Qin Yiwen, from the women's team, said, "There were many doubts about his strength online before because he had never participated in the World Martial Arts Competition. But this time, he was able to reach the God-level on the first day of the virtual world's opening. He has also proven himself."

"Many people couldn't believe that a big internet celebrity in the fighting field could reach the God-level before many professional players, but Zhang Qian did it," Host Liu Xin said. "We are very much looking forward to his performance in this God-level battle."

In the stands, Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also noticed the livestream's popularity.

"The number of viewers has exceeded one hundred and sixty million," Li Miaomiao exclaimed.

"This speed is really exaggerated," Xu Jingming said.

"One tells ten, ten tells a hundred. Once the battle starts, even more people will come in. After all, it's Xia Country's first God-level battle," Li Miaomiao said.

Xu Jingming looked at Li Miaomiao and said with a smile, "Miaomiao, I've also queued up for this first God-level battle."

Li Miaomiao was stunned.

"God-level battle? Jingming, you've also queued up?" Li Miaomiao asked, "Are you one of the eight people?"

"Yeah," Xu Jingming nodded.

"Jingming, can you let me see your personal combat strength panel? Don't worry, I won't spread it around," Li Miaomiao said, her eyes shining.

Xu Jingming tapped his finger, and the panel appeared.

Player: Xu Jingming

Gene Evolution Method: *Tian Mang (Heavenly Python)* Evolution Method (Intermediate Level 20%) (Practice Time: 735 days, cannot be improved)

Body: 115

Skills: Spear Technique (Second Order 75%), Footwork (Second Order 16%), Shield Technique (Second Order 62%)

Basic Combat Strength: 1380

Combat Bonus: 20%

Combat Strength: 1656

"Wow..." Li Miaomiao looked at it as if she saw a pile of jewels, extremely excited. "It's only the first day, and your evolution method is already at the intermediate level? Your basic combat strength is 1380, which is much higher than the God-level placement match threshold of 1200. Even the fraction of a point you have is more than what I have."

"Combat bonus of 20%? What the heck? My combat bonus is 0%." Li Miaomiao looked at the panel, then looked up at Xu Jingming. "Jingming, I've watched so many livestreams, and many streamers have made their combat strength panels public. Yours is the most exaggerated."

"There's always someone stronger, after all, there are 33 God-level players on the first day," Xu Jingming said.

"Jingming, you're going to be a big hit! Once the battle starts, you ten will definitely get a lot of attention and a lot of fans," Li Miaomiao said. "I knew a long time ago... that your future would be a hundred or a thousand times better than in the past, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. This is only the first day the virtual world is open! Only nine hours since it opened!"

On the commentary booth, Coach Qin Yiwen said, "In a cold weapon combat environment, the threat of archers will be very great. I believe everyone will see Wang Yi's performance later."

"In addition to Panda Zhang Qian, Archer Wang Yi, and Goddess of War Sun Yuting, Head Coach Huang and I also know two other participating God-level experts, namely 'Ghost Double Blades' Master Dong Xu and 'Miao Swordswoman' Lian Shuang," Qin Yiwen said with a smile.

"This is what I heard from my friend, Senior Brother Dong Xu himself told me," Head Coach Huang Yong said with a smile. "Senior Brother Dong Xu is over fifty years old this year and is an older generation martial arts master. He also won third place in the eleventh World Martial Arts Competition. His 'Ghost Double Blades' are infinitely varied, and many world experts have been defeated by his double blades."

"Miao Swordswoman Lian Shuang is also a coach of our national women's team," Qin Yiwen said.

"Many male team members have consulted her about the usage of Miao swords," Huang Yong laughed. "The fact that she reached the God-level on the first day also proves her strength."

"Nine God-level experts are ready!" Host Liu Xin suddenly said excitedly. "Soon, soon, only one person away from ten. This God-level battle may begin at any time."

The number of viewers in the livestream room also continued to rise, already exceeding two hundred and twenty million.

Suddenly, Host Liu Xin, commentator Huang Yong, and Qin Yiwen all became excited.

"Ten people are full!" Liu Xin's voice became high-pitched. "The first God-level battle is about to begin!"

Xu Jingming, who was sitting in the stands, also received a prompt: "Ten people are ready, the battle is about to begin! Xu Jingming, please prepare your weapons and equipment."

"Miaomiao, the battle has begun, I'm going over," Xu Jingming said to Li Miaomiao beside him.

"Hurry, hurry and go," Li Miaomiao urged excitedly.

Xu Jingming disappeared with a whoosh.

"Dad, Mom, hurry up, come over here," Li Miaomiao immediately contacted them. "Uncle, Aunt, Grandpa, Xia Country's first God-level battle, Jingming is also participating, you all quickly come to Xia Country's official livestream room."

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Uncle, you all quickly come to the official livestream room."

"Old classmates, the first God-level battle has begun, have you seen it?"

"Sister Kong, Xiao Zeng, forward it for me, get people to come to the official livestream room."

Li Miaomiao kept calling friends and relatives, very excited.

"Your mother and I arrived a long time ago," Li Chen'an and his wife also came to their daughter's side.

"Miaomiao," Xu Hong and his wife, as well as Old Master Xu, also arrived. Xu's mother even said, "You just said that Jingming is also participating in this first God-level battle?"

"Look ahead quickly, it's starting," Li Miaomiao pointed to the commentary booth ahead.

...

At the curved commentary booth, Host Liu Xin, commentator Huang Yong, and Qin Yiwen were now looking at the displayed battle space.

In the battle space, there were five people on the left and five people on the right, who had already begun selecting equipment and weapons.

"All ten God-level experts have appeared. The team on the left includes 'Hercules' Gao Chong, 'Blood Axe' Wang Qiao, 'Miao Swordswoman' Lian Shuang, Goddess of War Sun Yuting, and a ninety-seven-year-old senior named Liu Jianfeng, who doesn't seem to be known in the fighting circle," Host Liu Xin said, somewhat surprised. She could only see each person's name and age; she didn't know anything else.

Among the five, the other four were famous, only Liu Jianfeng was unheard of.

The two national team coaches, Huang Yong and Qin Yiwen, also looked puzzled. They knew many people in the circle, but they had never heard of this name.

"For a ninety-seven-year-old senior to become a God-level player on the first day, that's indeed remarkable," Huang Yong said.

Host Liu Xin continued, "The five people on the right team are Archer Wang Yi, 'Spear Demon' Xu Jingming, Legendary Boxer Wu Sai, 'Ghost Double Blades' Master Dong Xu, and the familiar Panda Zhang Qian," Host Liu Xin said.
