Amidst the anticipation of the entire nation, the third round of the grand tournament was about to commence. Half an hour before the event, the official live broadcast room of the Xia Kingdom was already packed with viewers.

In the stands, the six members of the Pearwood Team sat together.

"Captain," Emily Johnson said with a smile, "In all the current programs, you and Eugene Fong are being hailed as the two most talented geniuses in the Xia Kingdom. You two are the youngest among the top few masters, with you being twenty-nine and him being only twenty."

Finn Brown also chimed in, "All the shows are saying that whoever wins this match will be crowned as the number one genius of the Xia Kingdom."

"But he's younger than me," Jamie Smith shook his head, "I've got years of professional martial experience, he's a folk martial artist. Even if I win... it only proves that I'm stronger than him now, it doesn't qualify me as the number one genius."

"That Eugene Fong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, with a solid foundation," Quincy Shawn added, "The virtual world has been open for just over a month, which is equivalent to several years of professional martial arts training. It's not like he lacks experience."

"There's no need to talk about potential or genius," Jamie Smith said, "Those are all intangibles. I only believe in demonstrated strength. Like my master, Ray Willow, he's the number one in the world now! Maybe he'll still be number one in half a year."

"In terms of strength, I still have some distance from my master, from Senior Ray Cloud," Jamie Smith said calmly.

...

In another part of the stands, Eugene Fong's team of six was also present.

"Our team's weakness is that we don't have a divine archer," said a middle-aged man, "But the other side has Emily Johnson, a divine archer. We need to find a way to avoid their strengths, otherwise, Eugene won't even have a fair chance to duel with Jamie Smith."

"With Emily Johnson's arrows constantly watching, little Eugene Fong can only exert seventy percent of his strength when fighting Jamie Smith," Liv Jay Windsor nodded, "We few need to find a way, even if we have to fight to the death to deal with Emily Johnson. The rest of the warriors pose no threat to little Eugene Fong."

"Dad, Uncle, Master, Grandmaster," Eugene Fong said, "Rest assured, I've made a breakthrough in my evolution technique. Even in heavy armor, I'm faster than Emily Johnson! Killing Emily Johnson is not a difficult task."

"Listen to your grandmaster," Eugene Fong's father glared.

"I'll challenge Jamie Smith directly later, see if he has the guts to accept," Eugene Fong said bluntly.

"This kid..." Liv Jay Windsor laughed, he was fond of Eugene Fong despite the generation gap.

Eugene Fong's father said, "Eugene, our branch is considered the strongest in the country for Xingyi. Many people in the circle are watching us, so we have to create conditions for you to at least have a fair fight with Jamie Smith and show our Xingyi's style."

"What era is it now? Now it's all about embracing all schools of thought! Don't always think about Xingyi," Eugene Fong retorted his father, "Jamie Smith also has Baji, Chuo Jiao, and even learned Tai Chi from Senior Ray Willow."

"You..." Eugene Fong's father glared, but he knew he was at a loss for words.

"Alright, alright, little Eugene Fong is right. Don't care too much about Xingyi or not," Liv Jay Windsor laughed, "Ray Willow is very good, as long as it's useful to oneself, it can all be absorbed. Little Eugene Fong, you just go and fight, give it your all."

"Yes," Eugene Fong replied. He respected his grandmaster the most!

Glimmering Mars.

This is a planet where humans from Blue Star have discovered a large number of extraterrestrial relics. Above Glimmering Mars, a fleet of spaceships is hovering, with dozens of spaceships looking like a cosmic fleet, each bearing the emblem of the Blue Star Alliance.

Among them, one spaceship bears both the emblem of the Blue Star Alliance and the flag of the Xia Kingdom.

Inside the ship.

A middle-aged man was walking down the corridor.

"Professor."

"Professor."

Other scientific researchers in the corridor all showed great respect for this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man glanced at the display on the corridor, which was broadcasting a program from Blue Star.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Xiao Wu," the middle-aged man said.

"Professor," a young scientific researcher immediately approached, ready to listen attentively.

"I've heard the names Jamie Smith and Eugene Fong quite a few times today, are they the two most famous geniuses in the country now?" the middle-aged man asked.

The young scientific researcher nodded: "Yes, both of them are very strong, and they are the youngest among the strongest few, one is twenty-nine years old, and the other is only twenty years old. They have unlimited potential."

"Unlimited potential?" The middle-aged man nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.

Walking along the corridor, passing through one area after another.

Soon he arrived at his private area.

A huge sphere appeared in front of him, the middle-aged man walked up to the floating sphere, the sphere opened a door, and the middle-aged man stepped in, and the door closed.

Inside the sphere.

About ten meters in diameter, the middle-aged man stood in the center, and beams of light appeared inside the spherical building.

"Connect," the middle-aged man ordered.

Hum!

The middle-aged man's consciousness quickly sank.

Arriving in front of a huge network structure.

"Enter the Blue Star virtual world," the middle-aged man commanded.

Hum——

His consciousness quickly fell towards the virtual world representing Blue Star.

"Welcome home, Professor Wright," the virtual world offered no obstruction.

After entering the virtual world, Professor Wright quickly found the viewing platform and also came to the official broadcast room of the Xia Kingdom.

In the broadcast room stands.

Professor Wright appeared here, looking at the host on the stage, and also saw the countless audiences, all of whom were people from his hometown.

"It's really lively," Professor Wright smiled as he watched.

"Hmm?"

On another part of the stands, Charles Bennett was sitting with Leonard's father. Charles Bennett had high authority and immediately noticed Professor Wright, who was enveloped in purple light.

"Xiao Pang, come on, I'll take you to meet someone," Charles Bennett got up.

"Oh?" Edward curiously got up as well.

The two directly arrived near Professor Wright.

Professor Wright saw the visitors and immediately stood up: "Charles Bennett."

"Let me introduce you, this is Edward," Charles Bennett smiled, "Our Xia Kingdom's heroic figure. Xiao Pang, this is Professor Zoe Wright, the person in charge of our Xia Kingdom on Glimmering Mars."

"Professor Wright, I've heard of you, you've been living on Glimmering Mars for a long time, it's hard work," Edward immediately said, "I've always admired you scientists."

"Now it's much better, the living environment and experimental environment are much stronger, and through the virtual world, I can also occasionally contact my family," Professor Wright looked curiously at Edward, "I've heard of your name, Edward, you're amazing. Although we are on different fronts, we are all contributing to the country."

Edward nodded.

"It's rare for you to come to Blue Star today to watch the Fire Seed Cup," Charles Bennett smiled.

"After all, this is the evolution of life, the future of mankind," Professor Wright looked at the commentary stand, "And I heard that there are two extremely talented young people dueling today?"

"Yes, according to the virtual world's calculation, they are the first and second in terms of talent potential in the Xia Kingdom now," Charles Bennett nodded, "Eugene Fong practices the Violent Tiger Evolution Technique, and his compatibility is the only one in the country that exceeds 100%, reaching 103%!"

"Over 100%?" Professor Wright was surprised, "The compatibility of the evolution technique, generally reaching 100% is the limit. Exceeding 100% means it has surpassed the technique itself."

"Jamie Smith, on the other hand, is very fast in improving his combat skills," Charles Bennett said, "He has broken through to the third stage for just a few days, and his gun skills have already broken through 30% of the third stage."

"One has extremely high physical talent, and the other has extremely high combat skill talent?" Professor Wright laughed, "This match is interesting."

Edward said on the side, "I once watched Jamie Smith's real-life competition and felt that his gun skills were very spiritual. I even let my son learn gun skills from him for three years."

"Mr. Edward's vision is indeed extraordinary," Professor Wright asked, "How is your son's strength now?"

"Haha..." Edward laughed, "The captain of the Happy Team, who ranked last in the preliminary round of the Fire Seed Cup, is my son."

"Happy Team?" Professor Wright nodded with a smile, "Being able to participate in

the Fire Seed Cup has already reached the divine level, and it is considered one of the early batch of divine-level masters in our Xia Kingdom now, not bad. If you continue to grow, I believe there is hope to break through that level."

"I hope so, but this road is too difficult," Edward sighed, "Jamie Smith and Eugene Fong, the top ones, I believe there is no problem in breaking through that level. But my son, if he can break through within the year, I would be grateful."

"Don't underestimate your son," Charles Bennett said.

The three chatted and laughed, also watching the live broadcast.

The match began!

...

Now countless people are watching the match, whether it's the national leadership, ordinary people, or the masters like Jamie Smith, everyone is watching the match carefully. This is the current peak team battle of the Xia Kingdom.

The first match, Ray Willow's veteran team and the Heavenly Sound team.

Although the Heavenly Sound team has a divine archer Lily Smith, and masters like Eric Lee, Samuel Clark, and Channing Cheung, when they forced the captain of Ray Willow's veteran team, 'Ray Willow,' to take action, the battle was one-sided.

Ray Willow's veteran team won, becoming the first team to advance to the semi-finals.

The second match, Ray Cloud's team and the Cloud Mountain team.

Although the Cloud Mountain team is excellent, and Oliver Williams and Kevin Davis cooperate very well, there are no masters who have broken through to the third stage. Facing Ray Cloud's team... it was also a result of being swept by a single sword of Ray Cloud's predecessor.

Ray Cloud's team became the second team to advance to the semi-finals.

"There really are no surprises, the teams of the two predecessors won easily," Quincy Shawn admired.

"Their opponents have not broken through to the third stage," Jamie Smith said, watching the match, "For the two predecessors' teams, naturally, there is no threat at all."

The third match, the Fairy Team and the Shield Axe team.

The Shield Axe team's Skye Bearman did break through to the third stage, but after all, the breakthrough time was too short, and the evolution technique had not yet broken through to a higher stage! So facing the Fairy Team, it was also a one-sided battle, and the Shield Axe team was swept by Celia Green's dual swords.

"The third round of the competition, there is only one more match left," May Lee was a bit nervous, "Our team and Eugene Fong's team."

"Let's go for it," Quincy Shawn gritted his teeth.

"Take them down," Chase Ron also said, Emily Johnson was silent, her whole state had been brewing to the peak, she was ready to go all out at any time.

"Get ready to go on stage," Jamie Smith looked at the system prompt and immediately got up.
