Chapter 402 Above the Monster
"The contestants from China are nothing special."
After the battle in the United States ended, Maguire stood on the stand and looked at the Chinese side from afar, making sarcastic remarks in a very arrogant tone.
"You only beat our team's support player, is that something to brag about?"
Sikong spoke.
"Bad luck, who can you blame?" Maguire shrugged, his gaze sweeping over Lin Qingyan and Yan Runan. "You should pray they don't run into me next. I'm not going to go easy on women like those idiots from Sunset Country."
"Only thinking about fighting lower-ranked opponents is a sign of weakness. Hopefully, you'll still be smiling next round. Don't underestimate them!"
Sikong was strong and muscular, with sharp eyes and a powerful aura that shook the world. Every move he made exuded domineering power, and his voice resonated through the sky, causing some of the eliminated martial artists from other countries to feel their blood surge.
Lin Qingyan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. If he hadn't been murdered in his previous life, he probably would have become famous and dazzling in front of martial artists around the world. Perhaps the Great Xia would have had another top-level combatant who was no weaker than her!
"Hmph, just you wait and see."
Maguire snorted coldly, but there was still a trace of fear of Sikong in his eyes.
According to the intelligence they obtained, this strongest prodigy of the Great Xia Dynasty before Jiang Yuan's emergence was very likely a dual SSS-level talent possessor!
You should know that Edward, the most proud prodigy of their beautiful country, is only a dual talent possessor of SSS-level and S-level talent!
Two SSS-level talents, that's simply incredible!
It can be said that if he were to ascend to the King Realm, the global landscape would be affected.
The Great Xia Dynasty will gain another top-tier king comparable to Zhenbei King Beizhen Yuan, who will be invincible in the realm of kings, further enhancing the already strong national power of the Great Xia Dynasty. This is something that many countries and forces do not want to see.
Therefore, in his previous life, he was harmed by King Bai Zhou Chu Zhao and Zhou Yanxiu. No matter how careful the higher-ups of the Great Xia were, they would never have imagined that among the eight kings of the Great Xia, there would be a traitor, and another was an old senior who served the Great Xia royal family, a high-ranking and highly prestigious dean of the Civilization Academy!
"For Maguire, personal victory or defeat is far less important than national interests. He comes from the military and may be a bit harsh in his words, but since we are standing here, we bear the expectations of the people and we all have reasons to win."
Edward stared intently at Sikong, regarding him as a rival.
"I look forward to a full-fledged battle with you."
The standoff between the two players and their respective teams suddenly became the focus of the national war. It was unexpected that the two strongest players from the world would reach such a tense standoff so quickly.
The topic immediately stirred up a huge wave of discussion around the world, with countless martial arts bloggers stepping forward to compare the strength gap between the two sides.
"Judging from the current performance of the players, the winner of this national war will most likely be either China or the United States."
"Even if there are dark horses and upsets in the individual competitions, the team competitions seem to be in no doubt, with both teams having almost no weaknesses."
"The United States was the victor in the previous two World Wars. Will things change this time?"
"I think Sikong Chen Xi of China is already ridiculously strong, but above them there is the legendary Jiang Shen. I can't even imagine what kind of monster he is."
"I heard that Sikong once challenged Jiang, going all out, but he couldn't even bring out the other's true talent..."
"If Jiang from China had participated as a contestant, the outcome would have been a foregone conclusion long ago."
"The current situation is more interesting; the two sides are evenly matched, and no one knows who will win."
"Is nobody else as excited as I am for the upcoming proxy war?"
"Looking forward +1"
"Looking forward to +10086..."
……
Time passed second by second, and the battle raged on. All sorts of combat skills, talents, and special techniques were displayed by the world's top young generation, who fought with all their might. Students from major universities and martial arts schools around the world were dumbfounded and stunned. They never thought that martial arts could be used in this way, and that one-on-one battles could be so fierce.
Many people in front of the screen are still struggling to become martial artists, honing their qi and blood, and practicing basic martial arts. Like Jiang Yuan before he awakened his powers, these young men and women are witnessing for the first time how vast the world is and how many geniuses and monsters there are.
"This is truly the stage for geniuses to compete for supremacy..."
Xia Qinghou sighed.
He was once the number one genius in Nanjiang City, and he was very proud, thinking that the world was vast and that with his talent, he would reach the top sooner or later.
But the appearance of that person shattered his pride for the first time, forcing him to face reality.
When he arrived at the martial arts university, he realized that there were countless people with his talent, just like carp crossing a river.
Only by standing out from the crowd and leaping over the dragon gate can one have a chance to step onto this stage.
There are geniuses above geniuses, and monsters above monsters.
And in front of these guys, there was another figure whose mere silhouette was too awe-inspiring to even behold...
Xia Qinghou glanced at Jiang Yuan on the spectator stand. The fighting spirit, resentment, and unwillingness he once felt were gone from his eyes. Instead, there was emotion, awe, complexity, and a hint of... pride.
The gap is too large; the thought of comparison has long since faded.
"Back in the day, he and I were rivals."
Perhaps this will be a story he can boast about for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Xia Qinghou couldn't help but laugh.
