New Plan, Aurora Martial Arts Peak Tournament

Li Xing had the capacity to be self-indulgent during this mission.

Just like his very first mission, he could take an unconventional path, much like when he chose to acquire the Devour Ability.

Li Xing was extremely satisfied with the choice he made for his first mission.

Returning to the current mission.

Mission Three was undoubtedly the most helpful to Li Xing.

Li Xing could imagine the massive storm he would stir up by hosting tournaments in different cities across the globe.

He could easily throw money at the project to attract a vast number of participants.

Compared to the World Martial Arts Tournament.

Li Xing could absolutely organize a grand event with global participation.

He would structure it into four tiers: City Tournaments, Regional Tournaments, Championship Tournaments, and the Peak Tournament.

City Tournaments would be held once a month;

Regional Tournaments would be held once every six months;

Championship Tournaments would be held once a year;

The Peak Tournament would be held once every four years.

As he walked toward the gravity chamber, a brainstorming session began in Li Xing's mind.

"It is possible!"

"However, the mission must be completed to receive the rewards."

The system's indifferent voice rang out, and a look of delight appeared on Li Xing's face.

What was this?

This was the system's profound sense of reason.

In this way, he could fully prepare for a massive martial arts event, and while he was at it, kill a few people at the World Martial Arts Tournament in two months' time to claim his rewards.

In a martial arts competition, how could there not be any killing?

Having received a definitive answer, Li Xing immediately became impatient to start taking action.

At the moment, it was nothing more than a concept.

For the entire world to participate, he would need to invite the majority of the powerful martial artists.

To implement it in detail, it would be completely unfeasible without several months of preparation.

This matter could be turned into a corporate project for the Aurora Group, while Li Xing reaped the benefits from the shadows.

Once such a grand event was held, the sheer fame alone would be incomparable.

Added to the revenue from advertisements and the like, the Aurora Group would only profit, never lose.

In a word, you might not lose, but I will definitely make a killing.

"Wisdom!"

"I am here, Engineer."

The pitch-black Polar Night Nano Mecha watch that Li Xing wore contained a direct line to Wisdom.

Li Xing did not need to be in a specific place or use a specific device to contact the artificial intelligence.

As long as they were within the coverage of the Aurora network, it was enough.

How many satellites did the Aurora Group currently have in the sky?

Forty-eight!

This number was still gradually increasing at a rate of two per week.

It could be said that Li Xing could contact Wisdom from the vast majority of places on Earth.

Once the equipment and systems were updated in the future, Wisdom would become even stronger.

"Record!"

"Understood."

"Aurora Martial Arts Peak Tournament."

Li Xing found a chair, sat down directly, and began to mutter continuously.

That was how inspiration worked.

Having the Wisdom program help him would be much better than him trying to find inspiration all over again.

He repeated the previous content.

"The Aurora Group will open a shop in every city and simultaneously build a fighting ring."

Li Xing said quietly.

For the Aurora Group, this was not a problem at all.

It could also help them rapidly expand their markets and build their own distribution and logistics systems.

Earning this money was a trivial matter.

Li Xing's eyes flickered.

What came next was the major undertaking he intended to pursue.

The Earth of the future would be plagued by disasters.

What if the Aurora Group took responsibility for helping defend the Earth?

They could build various powerful weapons in outer space orbit to fend off incoming alien ships.

For instance, people like Vegeta and Babidi.

If more powerful invaders descended upon Earth, the warriors stationed in every city could quickly disperse to intercept them.

The Aurora Group would establish a security force named the Aurora Earth Defense Force.

It would be divided into an Outer Team and an Inner Team.

Members of the Inner Team would only need to stay at headquarters and undergo various forms of martial arts training.

Members of the Outer Team would be required to rotate through each city and be responsible for the martial arts tournaments in their respective locations.

The Inner Team would recruit the top three from the Peak Tournament, moving to the next in line if someone refused.

The Outer Team would recruit the top forty from the Championship Tournament.

Li Xing considered various scenarios in his mind.

The main concerns were the emergence of slackness and corruption.

The Inner Team was manageable.

Li Xing was not acting out of kindness; he was cultivating a "gu" poison.

Recruiting warriors purely for the Aurora Group was too slow and too weak; it was far from meeting his expectations.

Their combat power was also barely satisfactory.

With these rules in place, he wouldn't need many—just recruiting a few championship-level members would allow his physique to grow rapidly.

Calculating based on that group of top-tier martial artists, as long as their strength could slowly improve, Li Xing's own strength would skyrocket.

His problem was a lack of opponents.

His current opponents were already far too weak compared to him, making it extremely difficult to improve.

A single full-power collision barely increased Li Xing's physique by 0.0001.

As he continued to grow, it would become even harder to find excellent warriors.

After the 22nd tournament, the excellent warriors were basically all non-humans, plus the two Earthlings trained by Master Roshi.

In that case, it would be better for Li Xing to train them himself.

He refused to believe that with daily combat, he couldn't mold a group of formidable warriors.

There was one more point.

A sharp glint flashed in Li Xing's eyes.

The World Martial Arts Tournament simply didn't attract enough excellent martial artists.

Across the globe, a vast number of powerful martial artists were scattered about.

While they might not hold up in the later stages, in the early stages, these people were still very strong—no weaker than Sun Wukong and his peers.

If trained properly, they might just become the next Krillin.

The world was so vast; it was impossible that Krillin was the only one with exceptional talent.

Li Xing believed that there must be people with talent even greater than Krillin's, and quite a few of them at that.

For example, the one beneath Korin Tower.

For example, the head instructor at the King's martial arts gym in the capital.

And many, many more.

If he gathered them all up and combined them with technology, surpassing Krillin would be a trivial matter.

"Heavy rewards attract brave men. I don't believe those people won't be tempted when the Aurora Group acts like this."

"The city tournaments will be calculated based on ranking matches. You must challenge from the person behind you to the one in front; you cannot refuse, or the rankings will be swapped directly. After winning five consecutive matches, you may leapfrog a rank to challenge, meaning you can challenge someone two spots higher than your current rank."

"After ten consecutive victories, one may leapfrog two ranks to issue a challenge."

As for the subsequent stages, the championship would naturally involve a round-robin format.

The regional tournament was the only part that would be slightly troublesome.

However, Li Xing did not need to handle these matters personally.

If it was troublesome, then it was troublesome; he had people under his command to deal with it.

"Wisdom."

"For the City Ranking Tournament, rankings are settled at the beginning of each month based on the previous month's results. For those who agree to participate in the regional tournament, the first-place prize is 20,000 yuan, second place is 10,000 yuan, and third place is 5,000 yuan."

"The Aurora Group will be responsible for all arrangements and expenses during the regional tournament."

Li Xing's opening offer was a grand gesture.

It did not seem like much at first glance—35,000 yuan per city per month. Even with the participants' expenses added in, it would cost at most 200,000 yuan.

200,000 yuan a month meant 1.2 million over half a year.

Calculating based on 10,000 cities, the Aurora Group would need to shell out 12 billion yuan to host this event by the time it reached the regional tournament.

And that was not even counting the staff salaries for the entire process or other costs such as travel and medical expenses.
