"Team 'Light of the Azure Sea,' get ready!"

"The 'Invincible Sweep' team, get ready!"

The Sequencing Contest is indeed a large-scale competition involving a large number of people.

Sequencing researchers, who are usually rarely seen, flocked from all over the country to participate, with as many as 493 teams and nearly 2,500 people involved.

Standing out among such a large number of participants is undoubtedly extremely difficult, and reaching the top is even more challenging.

Everyone talks a big game, but no participating team dares to guarantee they'll be among the top teams.

"Seven parts skill, three parts luck. Keep it up!"

The sequencing event is not a sports competition; there is no large venue for spectators. Only judges use various monitoring instruments to determine the winners and losers, thus making the results known to the public.

After the team captain draws lots, the team members will enter the sealed area via elevators or other means, and follow the signs to their designated waiting positions.

In the early stages of the competition, none of the participants had even seen their opponents, let alone known them.

Although not a participant, Ren Anran was also paying close attention to the competition.

She mentioned some of her past competition experiences.

Having strong individual abilities does not guarantee that you will make it to the end. This has happened not only in her year but also in many other sequencing conferences.

This involves the contestants' mindset, their ability to manage their own skills, and the teams they encounter.

A good mindset is naturally beneficial in a competition.

However, genetic abilities are not unlimited; like physical strength, they have a recovery period.

If repeated battles result in a loss of genetic abilities that is difficult to recover, it is normal to be eliminated when participating in the next competition.

This is not just a problem faced by ordinary players, but also a problem that seeded players need to face.

As for the strength of the teams that clash, it is determined by the captains drawing lots; there is no artificial arrangement of teams participating, which requires a bit of luck.

"In other words, if we encounter weak teams every time, our chances of winning the finals will be much greater," Wang Li asked for confirmation.

"You're not wrong in thinking that way," Ren Anran said. "When I participated in competitions before, I encountered four teams of average strength, which I easily defeated with my fists and feet. As a result, my genetic power was preserved intact, and my team ultimately won the runner-up position."

"If you were the runner-up, who was the champion team that year?" Song Fengying asked with great interest.

"The champion team that year was the 'Leftover Women' team led by Zhu Shengnan, which included Zhen Mei and Jiang Feng. The other two were people trained by their Lineage, but I won't mention their names," Ren Anran said. "It was a very interesting team."

"They're all huge and burly, their arms are stronger than my legs," Song Sijia interjected. "Their Gene Fighting Technique is based on the Giant Ape Force, and their bodies are unbelievably strong."

"It's because they're too strong," Ren Anran said helplessly. "By the third day of our ordeal, everyone's genetic power hadn't fully recovered. How could we possibly fight against such strong women?"

"How to unleash your full potential is something you need to figure out," Ren Anran instructed. "If you can understand your opponent's mindset, whether it's a hit-and-run or a quick victory, you need to make accurate judgments!"

After offering her suggestions, Ren Anran looked at Song Sijia, who appeared sickly and drastically different, and then at her makeup. She felt that Song Sijia had already started to manipulate her mindset even before entering the competition.

After asking a few questions, she learned that the plan was devised by Zhang Xuezhou, which left her speechless.

Zhang Xuezhou was still lying down, but Zhang Xuezhou had actually already participated in the competition.

No matter what kind of makeup you wear, as long as it complies with the rules of the sequencing event, it won't cause any problems.

As for whether a rule about 'appropriate makeup and attire' will be added to the sequencing conference, that depends on how far Song Sijia and others go by relying on makeup skills, and whether it will cause controversy in this regard.

For many sequencers, this is more like a rite of passage into the world of Gene Fighting Technique.

At this grand event, participants will encounter various opponents and gain initial access to real combat skills, rather than relying solely on their ring fighting abilities.

"The strength displayed on the sequencing stage is not complete. Some people have strong bursts of power and can support themselves in one round of the competition, but they are not good at sustained battles and will inevitably find it difficult to last in the later stages," Ren Anran said.

"But encountering these types of players in the early stages is also the most dangerous," Song Sijia said.

"So, should we avoid the limelight?" Wang Li asked.

"We can shoot them," Song Sijia said. "It's just a bit of a pity the captain didn't come; we can't be absolutely certain of victory!"

"I've heard you're quite good with a gun," Ren Anran said.

"It's just so-so!"

Song Sijia waved her hand.

She briefly tested Zhang Manqian's strength, then delivered a powerful punch to Wang Li. By the time Wang Li remained unfazed, Song Sijia's anxiety had subsided.

Although Zhang Xuezhou was not there, their team was not bad, and their level was no different from that of the main team members of some Lineage in Western Capital.

Song Sijia figured she had to hold on for a few games no matter what.

The bad thing for them right now is that Zhang Xuezhou can't participate, but the good thing is that Zhang Xuezhou's absence will ensure that the genetic power in his body is preserved intact, which will be beneficial for his performance in later competitions.

After some self-consolation, she felt she could barely accept the current situation.

"Teams 'Lying Down in Large Groups', get ready!"

"The strongest team in Chuzhou, get ready!"

When the announcement came again, Song Sijia shrugged, Wang Li tensed up instantly, and Song Fengying's eyes flashed with a glint.

When Zhang Manqian, who was in charge of the draw, stepped into the contestants' isolation room, everyone's expressions became solemn.

"The good news is we didn't run into a top-seeded team from Western Capital; the bad news is we ran into a Lineage team from Chuzhou," Zhang Manqian said. "I've seen that captain; his body twists and turns when he walks. He must be skilled in Snake Form Fist!"

"Your Crane Form Fist is a counter to the Snake Form Fist; you can easily take it down then," Song Sijia said. "Wang Li can handle it too!"

"What does he think of your makeup?" Wang Li asked.

"That's a straight man, he didn't see through my makeup," Zhang Manqian said. "I bet he's already gone back to announce the good news!"

"Let's go, let's go! What are we waiting for? Let's get First Blood first!"

Song Sijia was eager to compete, but once she left the contestants' isolation room, she immediately reverted to her sickly appearance, listlessly following behind the others.

"Two members of the team fell ill. That's terrible! What bad luck!"

I think three of them have fallen ill!

"Where are the three?"

"Didn't you notice they're missing one person? Otherwise, why would they have changed their team name to this?"

"How I wish I could run into a team like that!"

Members of some participating teams observed Zhang Manqian and others entering the competition channel through the isolation windows, and various low murmurs could be heard from time to time.

The four of them filed in single file.

"Brothers, I'm starting the competition! If you're interested in supporting me, give me a '666'!"

Song Fengying hasn't changed her old habits from live streaming.

However, the sequencing conference did not prohibit the carrying of communication tools, and even communication and combat were permitted, with almost everyone carrying a communicator.

"Has Xuanxuan gone mad?!"

Watching Song Fengying holding the video camera and moving forward, Lao Luo, who was stationed to watch the live broadcast, thought there was something wrong with this woman.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone bring a visual device into the sequencing conference, which had been held for so many years.

The other person was even taking a selfie at that moment.

But Lao Luo didn't hesitate to send ten real money donations of 6666 as a show of support.

After all, without Song Fengying's live broadcast, he wouldn't have been able to see the sequencer's event at all.
