Chapter 1099: Chapter 682: Making Choices, Gaining Recognition, Grabbing the World’s Attention!

The Tang suit was taken off, revealing the borrowed pitch-black fourth-grade leather armor.

He looked around, lightly tapping his foot to rush silently.

Finding an exceptionally tall tree, Chen Biao’s figure shot straight into the crown like a black arrow, hidden within.

The poisonous miasma acts as a natural sensory shield, combined with the Tangmen’s concealment technique, Meng Chuan would never detect him...

Once Meng Chuan steps within five kilometers of his range, the Soul-Chasing Dart, with the enhancement of Tangmen’s secret weapon technique, hits its target every time!

Entering one kilometer, the power of the Soul-Chasing Dart doubles, almost pushing his fist and foot damage level to four thousand points!

How can Meng Chuan withstand a four-thousand-point damage level?

This is his greatest confidence!

With the help of the environment, he becomes the most insidious and terrifying snake under the miasma forest celestial phenomena...

...

Great Chu’s official livestream, and all major streamers’ livestreams.

As the competition officially began, new viewers continually poured in, and the online viewership soared, surpassing 1.5 billion.

Including overseas channel broadcasts, the global audience number has already surpassed 2 billion, continuing to climb towards the terrifying figure of 3 billion!

It can be said, at this moment, the global focus is right here.

At the Jin Hai Waterdrop Martial Arts Competition Center.

Everyone’s eyes are locked on the spiritual world where the first duel has already unfolded!

"Audience friends, now that the two contestants have entered the competition, I will hand over the microphone to Grandmaster Wang and Celestial King Li."

After saying this, the host Dong Xin saw Elder Li had no intention of speaking, and the gold commentator Wang Yang took over:

"Hello, audience friends, the two contestants have entered the competition venue but have yet to meet, Overlord Meng Chuan and challenger Chen Biao are both currently adapting to the venue environment.

Let’s look at the venue, the miasma forest celestial phenomena, the entire area is covered with a climate similar to a tropical rainforest but hotter and more humid.

Especially at the center of the miasma forest, the perceived temperature exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, and due to the presence of radiation-emitting poisonous miasma, cooling is impossible, and the temperature will continue to rise.

It can be said, whoever can truly conquer the environment might be the one who laughs last."

"This spiritual world is indeed impressive; the current level of technology is unimaginably high.

The miasma forest celestial phenomena, without the strength of a second-tier strength and above, is indeed not recommended for Demon Nest training in reality."

Li Wenshu nodded and commented.

The giant screen reflecting the spiritual world was split into two half screens, left and right.

The director shifted the live broadcast lens to the left, a towering tree wrapped by poisonous miasma and hidden from view appeared before the audience.

This is Chen Biao’s first perspective!

"It seems Chen Biao chose the ’wait by the tree’ strategy, a smart idea.

According to my research, his cultivation path naturally fits this miasma forest, with the fourth-grade divine armor as protection, fearless of high temperatures and miasma poison, enough to hold out for a long time. Meng Chuan Overlord must be careful."

Wang Yang looked at the data in his hand and slowly explained.

"Also the arc-shaped dart he’s holding reversed in his hand, from the material it should be third-grade, and looking at the reflective part when he rotates it, that’s the blade edge, which has been specially treated, exceptionally poisonous!

Once this arc-shaped dart hooks into the flesh, it gets stuck, and cannot be pulled out; if pulled out, it would cause massive bleeding or even affect internal organs.

The only choice is to leave the dart on the body surface until the competition ends."

"The blade edge is poisoned, whether pulled out or not, neither is a good choice."

Li Wenshu added, and then said:

"However, martial arts combat, weaponry only occupies a small part; the comprehensive qualities of the physique, under Qi Blood enhancement, are the main determinants of winning or losing. Personally, although Chen Biao seems to have the advantage of time and place, the most important ’human harmony’ is not on his side."

Commentator Wang Yang said surprisedly:

"Elder Li, you’re the number one in gun technique, yet you think weapons aren’t important?"

Li Wenshu nodded:

"Without involving the Dao, any weapon techniques are inferior to martial arts.

Weapons need not even be mentioned, the first relies on martial arts cultivation, only then can it be controlled!"

Li Wenshu’s words provoked deep reflection across the venue.

After he finished speaking, the director switched the live broadcast lens to the right side.

The host Dong Xin picked up:

"Alright, it seems Meng Chuan has made a move, let’s turn our attention over here."

On the screen, Meng Chuan appeared to be strolling, moving from side to side.

His speed wasn’t fast, nor slow; under slow-motion display, the small text in the lower-left corner read ’dynamic capture average speed 100m per second’.

"Looks like Meng Chuan chose to actively attack, with the green aura surrounding him, trying to sense the target and locate Chen Biao’s position, truly has the Overlord style!"

Commentator Wang Yang marveled, glancing at the contestant’s data and then changing his tone:

"However, he hasn’t taken out any weapon, not sure if it’s due to confidence in his martial arts prowess or if the weapon is inconvenient to carry while searching.

Meng Chuan Overlord’s weapon, a tremendously heavy Fang Tian halberd named ’Fumo’, rated as a fourth-grade divine weapon."

Halberd?

No distinction between spear and halberd, Li Wenshu’s eyes slightly lit up, anticipating Meng Chuan’s performance when wielding the halberd in battle.

"It’s moving! Audience friends, look at the small text showing dynamic capture speed in the lower-left corner, Meng Chuan Overlord’s speed has already surpassed one thousand meters per second!

One thousand two hundred meters... one thousand three hundred meters per second! He’s still accelerating! Such rapid speed!

Could he have discovered something? Has he sensed Chen Biao’s position? Impossible!

The straight distance between the two is over 25 kilometers, such an immense sensing range? Truly incredible!"
