Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 60: Chapter 57: Don’t Panic, We Still Have Mr. Lin
The tournament was not only popular on Canglan Star.

It was one of the hottest and most followed events across the entire Cosmic Human Alliance.

After all, those who could participate in the tournament were Evolvers, and specifically, young Evolvers under the age of one hundred.

These Evolvers were the future of the Cosmic Human Alliance.

They naturally had a certain ‘star’ effect.

In the era of interstellar travel, the general public had long stopped idolizing those ‘little fresh meats’ who were incapable of fighting.

It was the powerful Evolvers who attracted the attention of all citizens.

Virtual World Canglan Star.

Tournament area.

A huge arena resembling an ancient Roman coliseum, surrounded by seats that ascended from low to high, packed densely, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

At the top of the arena.

On a high platform.

The figures of Mr. Liao, Lin Yuan, and others appeared.

“This is the arena of Dongning City, the upcoming matches, if drawn to be in Dongning City, will be held here,” said Mr. Liao.

Actually, he was mainly speaking to Lin Yuan. Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and others had already participated in more than one tournament and were clear about these matters.

“Understood.”

Lin Yuan looked down at the arena below, nodding as he spoke.

“You all need not be nervous, just perform normally, and don’t feel too pressured,” comforted Mr. Liao.

The tournament was about to begin, and adding pressure now would backfire, so it was better to offer some comforting words to help them relax.

“Mr. Liao, I wonder who our opponent from Dongning City will be this time. Have you had someone predict it yet?” Lü Xiguang suddenly asked in a low voice.

As soon as this was mentioned,

the eyes of Cao Rong and Zong Bai immediately lit up.

Knowing your opponent in advance could give you a huge advantage.

After all, most Evolution Paths had their strengths and weaknesses, and if one could know in advance and target them accordingly, one could at least gain a significant initiative.

In cases where the strength level was similar, the outcome depended on who understood the other side better.

“How can you predict with so many cities on the Eastern Continent?” Mr. Liao rolled his eyes.

If it were the later stages of the tournament, when the number of participating city contestants had decreased to a certain number, it might be possible to make predictions based on past patterns.

But the tournament had just started, and with nearly ten thousand cities on the Eastern Continent, it was simply impossible to predict.

Of course, it was not possible to precisely predict which opponent it would be, but it was possible to determine a rough range.

The initial opponent in the tournament was selected based on past performance.

To put it simply, the strength of Dongning City’s opponent could not be much stronger than that of Dongning City itself.

“Alright.”

“You all go get ready.”

“In two hours, the tournament will begin and the opponent will be announced,” Mr. Liao said.

The start of the tournament was a grand event throughout Canglan Star.

Although most citizens could not enter the Virtual World,

they could watch the matches live through ‘broadcast.’

“Wow wow wow, Mom, Dad, come quick and watch the tournament,” Lin Yi said while sitting on the sofa, surrounded by four virtual screens displaying the arena scene.

“Alright, alright, coming,” Lin Shoucheng and his wife Lu Qiong approached with smiles on their faces.

They were Evolvers and had the right to enter the Virtual World, but since Lin Yi was not, they couldn’t just leave her behind and enjoy the Virtual World themselves.

The couple and Lin Yuan were all Evolvers. Having only Lin Yi not being an Evolver had already caused her much discontent, and if they treated her differently, she would turn the whole house upside down.

“Where’s brother?” Lin Yi kept looking around.

Lin Yuan was also participating in the tournament, and as a representative of Dongning City, Lin Shoucheng and his wife were naturally aware of this.

“He’ll probably appear when it starts.”

Lu Qiong smiled and said,

“I hope big brother will put in more effort.”

Lin Yi clenched her fists as she spoke.

“In this tournament, I must perform well to show father and let him know, I am not much weaker than Lin Yuan.”

In the Virtual World, within the tournament area, Lin Yan’s figure appeared, having made his decision.

A year ago, at the Lin Family’s family banquet, his father, Lin Hao, had planned to give the advanced training spot to Lin Yuan.

As a result of his speaking out of turn, the atmosphere had turned awkward.

Ultimately, one influential figure after another arrived to pay respects to Lin Yuan, indirectly embarrassing his father, Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was disappointed in him, thinking he was not living up to expectations. Now that Lin Yan had become an Evolver, could this spot still be given away?

Was it not because Lin Yan was not competent enough to become an Evolver that Lin Hao had thought this way?

After returning from the family banquet,

Lin Hao had severely reprimanded Lin Yan all night and had even personally beaten him up.

With this experience, Lin Yan finally became an Evolver several months later.

To this day, although he had not yet advanced, he was qualified to participate in the tournament.

The scope of the tournament was all Evolvers.

The city representatives would face representatives from other cities.

Whereas freelance Evolvers would face other freelance Evolvers.

Although Lin Hao knew that his current strength was still far inferior to Lin Yuan’s,

After all, the reason Mr. Liao personally visited during the banquet was something his father, Lin Hao, had later come to understand fully.

But now, at least Lin Yan had the possibility to look up to Lin Yuan.

If he could look up to him, then in the future, he could surpass him.

“Has the tournament started?”

“Hurry up and take a look.”

“One doesn’t know, what achievements Dongning City will garner in this tournament.”

“Hahaha, just better not end up at the bottom like last time.”

Citizens of Dongning City, one after another, opened the live broadcast and watched intently.

Virtual World Canglan Star, tournament area.

“It’s over, it’s over; our opponent this time is Zijing City.”

As the tournament officially began and upon learning who their opponent was, Cao Rong suddenly felt anxious.

Lü Xiguang felt the same; Zijing City was the least desired opponent among those they had anticipated facing.

In the last tournament, Dongning City ranked nine thousand nine hundred eighty-five.

Whereas Zijing City ranked seven thousand six hundred fifty-two.

The difference between them was over two thousand ranks.

It was said that the strongest Evolver in Zijing City followed the ‘Giant’ Evolution Path.

Once fully exerted, his stature could surge to a whopping five meters.

Although his strength was also at the first rank, twelfth segment, his real combat power was almost close to the Second Layer.

For a typical Second Layer Evolver, defeating this ‘Giant’ was not an easy task.

If they were outdoors, Cao Rong and Lü Xiguang might have some confidence,

After all, if they couldn’t defeat him, they could still run away.

Evolvers of the Giant Evolution Path were known for their lack of speed.

But how could they run in a tournament? The arena was only so big; where could they run to?

Furthermore, the official administrators of the Virtual World, to prevent Evolvers from deliberately stalling, would reduce the arena size after a certain time during the match.

In the previous tournament, the reason Zijing City achieved a rank within the top seven thousand was thanks to this Evolver of the ‘Giant’ Evolution Path.

“A Giant…”

Lü Xiguang sighed.

This Evolution Path required innate strength and a constitution stronger than ordinary people for the Evolvers intending to practice it.

“It is indeed somewhat troublesome.”

Zong Bai, who had been silent up until now, frowned.

Clearly, he also found the situation challenging.

However, Zong Bai seemed to think of something, and his brow relaxed slightly, “But don’t panic, we still have Mr. Lin.”
