After putting down the documents in his hand, Li Xingkong took out the documents of the other people and looked at them.
When Li Xingkong saw his hometown, his gaze paused for a moment. He recognized a familiar face. Li Xingkong reached for the document and examined it closely; it contained a photograph of Wu Ting. His document was placed at the top of the list for Hedong Province, clearly indicating he was the first-place winner in the preliminary rounds Hedong.
Sure enough, how could such a competition be complete without him?
Li Xingkong looked at the familiar photo in the document and smiled.
" Brother Li, look at this."
Just as he was about to share what he had seen with Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng was already calling him.
Li Xingkong looked up and saw Tang Cheng holding several documents, which he handed to Li Xingkong.
"Perfect timing, I also have some information I'd like to show you."
Li Xingkong tossed the documents in his hand to Tang Cheng, and at the same time caught the documents Tang Cheng threw to him. After a quick glance, Li Xingkong frowned. The people in the documents were clearly not from Divine Land People; judging from their appearance and attire, it was immediately obvious that they were from abroad.
The people in these documents include both men and women, but none of them look Asian; they are both Black and White. Just from the photos in the documents, you can see the arrogance and haughtiness on their faces.
Li Xingkong looked through the detailed information. Although these people were foreigners, the information network within Divine Land was clearly not to be underestimated. They had thoroughly investigated the identities of these individuals.
All of them were from the Eagle Country, or at the very least, they had some connection with the Eagle Country. Moreover, they all had a common characteristic: they had all participated in the genetic modification project that the Eagle Country had previously carried out.
"These are probably the people from the Eagle Country trying to stir up trouble," Li Xingkong, glancing at the documents and letting out a cold laugh.
These few oddballs aren't worth his time. With the Eagle Country's mediocre genetic modification skills, their fighting ability isn't much higher, and they might not even go very far in the competition.
Their hopes of showing off in Divine Land are probably dashed. They might end up slinking away and failing to even make it to the finals; that would be a real joke.
"Wow, Brother Wu is that strong? He's number one!"
Tang Cheng saw the information Li Xingkong handed him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. As one of the first provinces to have access to the Earth Vein, Hedong naturally had representatives from the Divine Land government participating in the preliminary rounds. However, despite this, Wu Ting was still able to take first place under these circumstances, which was enough to demonstrate his formidable strength.
"Hehe, the class monitor is actually a little bit stronger than you think."
Li Xingkong laughed. His battle with Wu Ting a few days ago was still fresh in his mind. Now that he had a cultivation technique, his strength must have improved even further. How strong he was now was unknown, but judging from his first place, his strength was no weaker than before.
"Then I'll be looking forward to Brother Wu's performance."
Tang Cheng felt quite strange to see an acquaintance among so many people's profiles.
"By the way, Brother Li, have you seen the files on these foreigners? These Eagle Country have to get involved in everything."
After exchanging a few words, the topic shifted to the documents in Li Xingkong's hands.
"It's nothing, just a few Joker."
Li Xingkong weighed the documents in his hand and tossed them back the way he came.
"According to the information, these people have all undergone genetic modification. Given the Old Eagle ' character, the fact that they're being used as cannon fodder suggests they've had other things installed besides genetic modification. We need to be careful when facing them."
Tang Cheng nodded. Who would believe that these people didn't have anything strange on them? They must have some weird modified parts, and maybe even a bomb hidden somewhere.
"We're not afraid, but the other regular participants are likely to suffer."
Although cultivators have a sixth sense that warns them of these crises, and some underhanded tricks might not work on them, it's rather unfortunate for other ordinary contestants.
"That's true, but I remember we've already prepared a group of staff who have learned healing magic for our competition, right?"
Li Xingkong thought about the arrangements he had seen before, and it seemed that a lot of people had been assigned to prepare for the treatment.
"That's right, our first batch of emergency healing spellcasting team members has graduated, and they will participate in on-site medical rescue during the official competition."
Tang Cheng was quite clear about this matter, after all, he had been spending Heavenly Capital with cultivators lately.
"Besides the earliest Rejuvenation Technique, Brother Li, the spell encyclopedia you gave us contains quite a few other healing spells. They've all learned two or three, and although they're not very proficient in any of them, the healing effects are already very noticeable for ordinary people. Basically, any external injury can be healed immediately."
The Rejuvenation Technique was only a healing spell Li Xingkong used when Spiritual Qi was scarce. Now that Spiritual Qi was abundant, there were naturally more healing spells to choose from. Li Xingkong didn't learn it, but that doesn't mean others don't need to. Li Xingkong copied a lot of spells from the system, but he only glanced at many of them and didn't actually try to learn them.
Learning every spell is completely unnecessary. One similar spell is enough. Learning too many spells will only make you face a difficult choice when you need to use them.
"That's good. With the help of these off-stage people, it's alright if we suffer a few losses. We'll be back to our old selves after the arena. Besides, this has created animosity, so these guys will probably be even more motivated to train after being beaten."
"Turning hatred into motivation, huh? Brother Li, you're too wicked."
Tang Cheng laughed too. A ready-made villain, might as well use him.
Some people are like that; they're lazy when it comes to peaceful and steady spiritual practice, but they only become motivated and hardworking when driven by negative emotions.
These few Eagle Country have been sent over to be used as pawns, which is perfect.
"This is called making the best use of resources. It's not like I made them come; they came voluntarily."
Li Xingkong stated that he Jidu at all; this was entirely handed to him by the other side and had nothing to do with him.
Just as the two were reviewing the information of the contestants who had advanced to the official competition, the rules for the official martial arts tournament were also released.
The rules for the official competition were completely different from those for the preliminary rounds. After the rules were released, they caused a huge uproar. Most of the opposition came from the players who had advanced, while the audience had little to say about it.
Compared to the preliminary rounds, the official competition is still a one-on-one ring match, but in terms of weapons, there are only some restrictions on firearms. In terms of protective measures, there are no restrictions at all. After all, the venue is only so big. If you can drive a tank there, that's pretty impressive.
As you can imagine, many players were outraged when this restriction was lifted. The preliminary rounds were going well, like a proper competition, but this was the first time they had ever seen the official competition handled like this.
What do you mean? When the time comes, I'll just go into battle with a Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) and a full set of Iron Pagoda armor. Who could possibly beat me then?
The scene will definitely be very exciting, and many contestants have already thought about how they will be fully armed.
Even in modern times, a set of armor is very expensive, but the organizers of this martial arts tournament have powerful connections, enough hype, and a large audience. Many contestants who can't afford their own equipment are already being swarmed by companies from various industries.
They were willing to pay to help, the only condition being that the armor bear their watermark.
