The tension in the arena of the virtual world was almost palpable. The heartbeats of the audience quickened with the upcoming semifinal, and everyone was speculating which team would claim the victory.

"Which team do you think will win the next semifinal?" Charles Bennett asked with a smile, his voice echoing backstage with a subtle hint of nervousness.

Edward, a seasoned analyst, replied with a smile, "Although I favor Jamie Smith, I must admit that his current strength is still inferior to Ray Cloud's. I think unless a miracle happens, Ray Cloud has a more than 90% chance of winning."

In another part of the audience, Sean Hill sat silently, accompanied only by his loyal companion, Joe Chew.

Sean Hill listened as the commentary stage began to discuss Jamie Smith, watching the countless comments rolling in the comment section.

"I'm more optimistic about Jamie Smith; he's so fierce and handsome!"

"Unconditionally support Jamie Smith!"

"Do you guys even know what 'unconditional' means? Jamie Smith hasn't even passed the third level of the Star Tower. How can he compare with Ray Cloud?"

"The last battle saw the Sweeping Squad get swept, and Celia Green got dominated. This battle, the Pearwood Squad will also get swept, and Jamie Smith will be dominated too!"

"The gap is too big!"

"Support for Cat, support for my brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, you're the best!"

"What are you thinking? You have to face reality, to正视 the gap between Jamie Smith and Ray Cloud! Maybe, in front of Ray Cloud's footwork, Jamie Smith won't even have the strength to fight back."

"Ray Cloud, he's one of the top global masters listed on the Star Tower."

Countless comments raged in the comment section, forming a war without smoke.

Sean Hill looked at all this, his face gloomy, and said indifferently, "It seems that the majority of the audience still thinks Ray Cloud will win."

"Yes, there is still a big gap between Jamie Smith and Ray Cloud," Joe Chew said with a smile.

"But now it is recognized that he is one of the top four masters in Xiaguo," Sean Hill's face was gloomy, frowning, "This Jamie Smith's luck is really good, this turn is flying to the sky."

Joe Chew immediately said: "That's just a martial artist, a somewhat famous martial artist. Where can it compare with you, boss? Your company's valuation has now risen to 30 billion in just over a month."

"Valuation, it's just a valuation," Sean Hill's mood suddenly improved a lot, modestly said, "Now is the time of the outbreak of the virtual world, we still have to seize the opportunity, continue to expand, and occupy a larger live broadcast share. For example, some of the most dazzling players in the Fire Seed Cup competition, we need to find a way to sign up a few more, that Eugene Fong is not bad."

"How about Jamie Smith? He is very young and has potential. Should we sign him?" Joe Chew asked.

Sean Hill frowned slightly, but still nodded, "It can also be signed, make money, the pattern still has to be bigger. But first, let's see, if he loses miserably in this semi-final, the cost of signing can also be reduced."

"Yes," Joe Chew nodded, "I understand, the signing plan is determined, it will definitely be confirmed by the boss first."

...

Lena Smith sat alone in the audience, silently watching the commentary stage talk about the members of the Pearwood Squad.

"I was originally a member of the team, how did it become like this?" Lena Smith sat there, looking at countless comments, many of which mentioned Jamie Smith, "I felt that Jamie Smith had potential, and now he has become one of the top four masters in the country. Why did I make a fool of myself? The opportunity was right in front of me, and I missed it."

Lena Smith was annoyed.

The more famous Jamie Smith becomes, the more uncomfortable he is. He could have been holding onto a big leg and enjoying the good life.

...

"Let's go, it's time to go on stage." Jamie Smith and his team got up and accepted the official live broadcast room's invitation.

On the commentary stage, Jamie Smith and his team of six and Ray Cloud's team of six all sat down, Ray Cloud still had a cold face and sat there without saying a word. At this moment, the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers were all on the two teams, and the team members were still used to it.

"Both teams have taken the stage." The host Shine Lewis said with a smile, "Teacher Ray Cloud, I want to ask, what are your plans for the upcoming game? Or like Teacher Ray Willow, let other teammates fight first?"

After hearing this, Ray Cloud thought for a while and said, "Whatever."

"Whatever?" The host Shine Lewis's expression solidified for a while.

"The captain's meaning is that our team members can fight however they want, there is no specific plan." A teammate immediately explained.

The male guest Victor Daniels warmed up the scene, laughing and saying, "I have always had a question, how does Teacher Ray Cloud choose his teammates? Teacher Ray Willow said that he chose from his real-life folk martial arts friends."

"Randomly picked." Ray Cloud said.

"Randomly picked?" Victor Daniels was puzzled.

A teammate immediately said, "We happened to meet the captain in a normal divine level battle. After the game, the captain sent us an invitation to invite us to form a team to participate in the Fire Seed Cup competition."

"Me too."

"I was also invited by the captain after the battle. I naturally agreed excitedly."

"The captain is leading us to a lie-in win."

The teammates were all very happy, after all, Ray Cloud was very generous, and he also gave them a share of the bonus, and everyone earned a lot.

Host Shine Lewis looked at the Pearwood team on the side and said, "Captain Jamie Smith, Teacher Ray Cloud said that their combat plan is whatever, what do you think?"

"We still have to go all out." Jamie Smith said modestly.

"Are you confident?" Victor Daniels said.

Jamie Smith looked at his teammates Emily Johnson, Quincy Shawn, Chase Ron, Finn Brown, and then looked at May Lee, and said with a smile to the male guest, "Of course I am confident, I have so many powerful teammates, as long as we unite, we can definitely win."

Ray Cloud, who was sitting there, raised his eyelids and took a look at Jamie Smith.

Host Shine Lewis looked at the system prompt and said, "Finally, the captains of the two teams, each give a sentence to the other party. Jamie Smith, you come first."

"Ray Cloud." Jamie Smith said modestly, "Please go all out! Let our young people see your strength."

Ray Cloud looked at the system prompt, stood up, and said, "Jamie Smith, I give you a piece of advice, when facing me, use a double shield, you can hold on a bit longer."

Jamie Smith also got up and said, "I can tell you now, senior, I will use a spear in this battle."

"Young man, you have courage. I hope your strength can keep up with your mouth." Ray Cloud finished speaking, and the whole person disappeared, and the other teammates also disappeared one by one, heading to the battle space preparation area.

"Let's go." Jamie Smith and his team also went to the battle space.

...

Battle space preparation area.

Jamie Smith and his team chose their weapons and equipment in turn.

"Captain, are you really not choosing a shield?" Emily Johnson asked.

"Faced with Ray Cloud, with his footwork, I won't have time to change weapons." Jamie Smith said, "And in this battle, using a shield, the chance of winning is almost zero. Using a spear is dangerous, but the attack is much stronger."

His Eight Extremes Shield Technique is fierce, but it also depends on the opponent.

Faced with Ray Cloud, the world's number one in footwork, his Eight Extremes Shield Technique may not even get close. No matter how good the defense is, it's just a target, just dragging on for a longer time.

And...

To break through the Star Tower, it also depends on the spear technique! His spear technique needs to be improved urgently, and the peak battle under the attention of the public is a very rare opportunity for tempering. Whether it's for winning or tempering, he has to choose a spear.

"Captain, Jamie Smith didn't choose a shield." The other preparation area saw it clearly.

Ray Cloud nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "This is to break the boat and sink the ship, not to leave a way out for himself, which is quite interesting."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two teams were ready, and the ten people all flew into the map.

...

Ancient town map, light rain is drifting, and the ten people are scattered all over the town.

"Town map." Jamie Smith appeared in an alley, showing a smile

, "I remember the first time I fought in the Xiaguo divine level, it was also a town map."

"Everyone, gather towards Emily Johnson first." Jamie Smith said in the team's voice.

"Okay."

"Yes."

"What is Ray Cloud doing! He's on the bell tower!" Quincy Shawn said in the team's voice, surprised.

Jamie Smith immediately leaped to the roof and could barely see the tallest building in the town center - the bell tower. At the top of the bell tower, there is a figure in a green dress standing at the moment.

Ray Cloud, dressed in a green dress, with two swords on his back, stood at the top of the tallest building in the town, overlooking the entire town.

The light rain is drifting, splashing on the face, making Ray Cloud feel particularly good.

His eyes swept in all directions, standing high and seeing far! Looking closely like this, he suddenly saw a figure in the window of a house in the distance, which was Finn Brown who was secretly watching.

"Found one." Ray Cloud stepped down, whoosh, and turned into a residual shadow and fell to the roof in the distance, and then whooshed and flew out for a long distance.

Feeling the wind in his ears.

When Ray Cloud was rushing, he also seemed to be riding the wind.

He didn't even choose a leather armor, just the most close-fitting cloth clothes, and the heaviest equipment on his body was two swords as thin as cicadas.

"No, he found me." Finn Brown was a bit flustered.

Ray Cloud was too fast, and Ray Cloud had already arrived in just a few seconds, and Finn Brown was running on the stone street in a panic, only to find a green shadow coming behind.

"Go." Finn Brown suddenly turned around and threw out two short spears.

The green shadow flashed and passed by Finn Brown.

Finn Brown's eyes widened, and there was a red sword mark on his forehead, and his body turned into nothingness and dissipated.

The green shadow flashed and left the place.

...

"Ray Cloud's senior has completely shown his footwork this time, look, his top speed has now reached a terrifying 73.8 meters per second." The studio immediately marked the speed of the green shadow when he was rushing, and that speed was indeed shocking.

"Even looking at the world, this is also the highest speed that masters can achieve now." The host Shine Lewis said, "In front of such a speed, many times it is too late to react."

...

"Finn Brown was killed, Chase Ron was killed." Jamie Smith immediately received a team prompt and immediately rushed into a nearby tavern and quickly came to the third floor. No way, with his weight, plus the weight of the weapon and armor, some of the roofs of the ancient town's buildings cannot withstand it.

Standing on the third floor of the tavern, Jamie Smith looked around and saw a green shadow walking in the drizzle.

"Ray Cloud, if you have the courage, dare you to fight?" Jamie Smith shouted, his voice like thunder, resounding throughout the town, making Ray Cloud, who was rushing, stop and look towards Jamie Smith.

"I didn't find you, but you took the initiative to show up." Ray Cloud's eyes were excited, and his figure moved, and the green shadow quickly rushed straight to the direction of the tavern.
