A nascent plan, Li Xing's restless heart

Calculating carefully, the total is absolutely an astronomical figure.

Dividing the world into East, West, South, North, and Central regions equally.

Each region contains two thousand cities.

Each city selects 18 people to participate in the regional tournament.

That means thirty-six thousand people participating in a single regional tournament.

A single regional tournament alone completely crushes the so-called World Martial Arts Tournament.

The funds, time, manpower, and material resources required to host it are an exaggerated figure.

"Wisdom, the regional tournament rules will also be a ranking tournament."

Li Xing's eyes were calm and indifferent.

With such a large number of people, a ranking tournament is not the best choice.

It will consume a very, very long time, and it might even screen out many promising talents.

Li Xing had no better solution for this.

He could not expend massive amounts of energy focusing on the regional tournaments.

Luck is also a part of strength, and besides, a ranking tournament is already relatively fair.

There is truly no way to resolve the issue of hard counters.

For example, if a person A is very strong and capable of reaching the top twenty.

But person B has an ability that happens to counter him, preventing him from displaying his true strength.

Then, B is temporarily ranked ahead of A.

However, B's ranking is only 249th.

A is ranked behind B, and no matter what, he cannot defeat B, so he can only be ranked behind him.

A has no other choice but to be ranked 250th.

As for adopting the consecutive-win leapfrog format used in the city tournaments.

Li Xing would not consider it.

People with such obvious weaknesses are of no help to him if recruited.

If they want to get in, they must defeat their own weaknesses themselves.

Take Chiaotzu, for example.

His true strength in the early stages would absolutely crush Krillin.

Yet, in the end, he lost due to a lack of brains.

For instance, when Krillin fought the foul-smelling warrior, he should have been countered.

Whoever it was, they wouldn't have been able to withstand it; even Sun Wukong couldn't.

As a result, because Krillin had no nose, he directly took down that stinky contestant.

This, is a weakness, but also a strength.

Li Xing would naturally consider all these aspects clearly.

What need is there for fairness?

Martial arts cultivation is inherently about contention.

Contention is, by nature, unfair.

The demand for people to be honest and moral is merely a tactic devised by those who are dishonest and immoral to gain more benefits.

Human nature is inherently selfish!

When one is selfish, what is there to talk about regarding fairness?

"Wisdom, the championship tournament will be completed through arena battles."

A sharp glint flashed in Li Xing's eyes.

After the first two rounds of ranking tournaments, everyone will be someone with real skills.

Only such a competition will be worth watching.

There are at least thirty-six thousand people in the regional tournaments every half-year.

Selecting 18 people from each region means thirty-six contestants per year.

Across five regions, the championship tournament will have 180 people.

"Arena point-based tournament; win a match, gain a point."

A devilish smile appeared on the corner of Li Xing's mouth.

This is just like raising venomous insects.

With Li Xing operating in this manner, the entire Earth was engaged in battle almost every waking moment.

The path of a martial artist was nothing but training, competing, and training again.

More importantly, Li Xing himself would reap numerous benefits from this process.

A flicker of desire flashed in Li Xing's eyes.

Gathering so many powerhouses.

If their final combat power reached over fifty, and he fought them frequently, what kind of improvement would he gain?

Presumably, by then, it would be easy to raise his physique to over 5 points.

With this operation in place.

Once Piccolo emerged, would he be completely bewildered?

Three hundred years had passed.

Heh.

The entire Earth had become martial artists.

His hope of controlling the Earth would be thoroughly extinguished.

I ask you, are you convinced?

"There is still one more problem: the prize money."

A look of gravity appeared in Li Xing's eyes.

These matters had to be handled properly.

Within a year at most.

The Aurora Martial Arts Peak Tournament had to become self-sustaining.

For this, he and Pilaf would need to work together to build it.

They had to find a way to create a nutrient solution and some high-tech aids for training.

This was a positive choice, beneficial to him and to the entire Earth.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the more I feel like a major villain.

Manipulating the entire Earth from the shadows.

Using money and force to push them to move according to my own ideas."

Li Xing shook his head with a bitter smile.

Despite muttering this to himself.

Li Xing had never once thought of giving up.

Everything was for the sake of becoming stronger.

To avoid becoming cannon fodder.

"Wisdom."

"I am here! Engineer."

"Create a new folder.

Name it: Martial Arts Network Project.

Propose four research directions.

First, the establishment and perfection of a martial arts system assessment and mission release agency."

This step was, in fact, identical in meaning to Aurora Group establishing branches in every city across the globe.

"Second, establish a research and upgrade system for nutrient solutions."

Practicing martial arts without sufficient nutrient solution was simply a joke.

"The poor study, the rich practice martial arts"—this applied everywhere.

"In that case, doesn't our Aurora Group have to get involved in the farming and agricultural industries?"

As Li Xing calculated, he began to feel stunned.

If they were to formulate nutrient solutions, they would inevitably need high-quality raw materials.

They didn't need to worry about energy, but they had to rely on themselves for materials.

Li Xing was no fool.

He didn't think Senzu Beans could have a major effect.

The law of conservation of energy could not be broken.

If it were broken, this world would not have strong and weak, high energy, ki, and so on.

There was certainly a gap between the displayed effects and the real world.

On a remote planet, in a situation where strength was so weak.

How could Senzu Beans possibly provide restorative energy indefinitely?

They had already reached the level of gods; the two of them clashing had the potential to destroy the universe.

You're telling me that a single punch could send someone straight back to their hometown, causing the world to collapse?

That's not how you pull someone's leg.

Let alone the Super Saiyan God arc, Senzu Beans shouldn't have had any effect by the time the Frieza arc rolled around.

Li Xing still drew a clear line between anime and reality.

"Various devices and facilities to assist in cultivation, such as gravity chambers, gravity rings, super-treadmills, weighted vests, and so on."

Li Xing continued.

He pondered various matters in his mind.

"No, if we do that, everyone will lose their sense of urgency."

A cold glint flashed in Li Xing's red eyes.

"No, I must create a villain, and they must be powerful.

I need to keep everyone in a state of constant anxiety.

Only then will they take their cultivation seriously."

No sooner had Li Xing finished speaking than he began to fret again.

That was easier said than done.

Once the world was in turmoil, the stability of the Aurora Group could no longer be guaranteed.

"How about I introduce something like the T-Virus into this world?"

Li Xing shook his head in frustration.

"Forget it. I'll wait until after the tournament.

If that doesn't work, Piccolo doesn't have to be redeemed, and Dr. Gero can release some weaker androids earlier."

Li Xing said with a meaningful tone.

"Everything else that aids in martial arts cultivation must be researched."

"Recording complete, Engineer."

Li Xing nodded.

"Send it to Pilaf, then send it to Xiao Wu.

As for the rewards, I need to deliberate carefully.

Too high won't do, and too low won't be good either."

"Understood."

Li Xing turned and walked toward the gravity chamber.

Every goal was aimed at improving himself.

With the abilities he possessed, he needed companions whose strength was somewhat comparable to his own.

The current batch of Saiyans was simply too weak.

He was fully capable of splitting himself into two.

One would remain in the light, managing the entire Aurora Group, while the other would remain in the shadows, controlling the Polar Night faction.
