Chapter 147: Semifinals—Shining Twin stars! A Battle For Attention! (1)

Chu Zhou’s days had returned back to “ordinary” ever since the ambush.
Of course, this kind of “ordinary” day might be more exciting than an ordinary person’s entire life.
He either fought against the tide of monsters at the defense line or cleared out the monsters that appeared behind the defense line. Days of fighting and killing all day was unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, to Chu Zhou, it was really as calm as water.
In this “as calm as water” life, Chu Zhou persisted in his habit of eating 500 kilograms a day and quickly accumulated attribute points.
Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi also improved rapidly.
One day, a powerful fluctuation of origin power suddenly erupted in Ling Zhan’s room.
Then, Ling Zhan walked out of the room and calmly announced to Chu Zhou, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi that he had advanced to the Extraordinary Realm.
Perhaps Ling Zhan’s advancement to the Extraordinary Realm had given Shi Meng and Li Qingshi a huge stimulation.
A week later, Shi Meng and Li Qingshi also advanced to the Extraordinary Realm.
After Ling Zhan and the other two advanced to the Extraordinary Realm, their performance at the front line gradually became dazzling.
Their reputation also began to spread on the frontlines.
The Sharp Blade Squad also began to become famous as a whole, and not only Chu Zhou, the captain, became famous.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since the end of the preliminary round of the Global Human Genius Competition.
On September 1st, 3020, the semi-finals began!
Humans around the world paid more attention to the semi-finals than to the preliminary round.
In the past month, the beast tide has swept across the world. Humanity could be said to have entered a critical moment, especially in many base cities outside the five countries. They had suffered heaw casualties in the beast tide.
Even the five countries did not dare to guarantee that they could keep the beast tide outside the cities of the five countries.
An invisible layer of dark clouds enveloped the entire world.
And the more dangerous the situation was, the more urgently people needed a “hero” who could save them.
Therefore, he paid unprecedented attention to the Global Human Genius Competition.
People subconsciously yearned for a “hero” who could help humanity resolve their predicament in the Global Human Genius Competition.
The resupply base city was also very considerate. They had long prepared a “Virtual Helmet” for a semi-finalist like Chu Zhou.
Therefore, Chu Zhou could log into the virtual battlefield in his room.
Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi also opened the webpage of the live broadcast room early in the morning and waited for the semi-finals to begin.
Chu Zhou woke up under the warm sunlight.
He slowly opened his eyes and realized that he was lying on a soft white bed. A ray of sunlight pierced through the clear glass window and shone on him.
On a small table by the window was a plate of orchids.
The orange flowers looked exceptionally bright under the sunlight.
Chu Zhou got off the bed, walked to the window, and looked out.
Outside the window were skyscrapers.
However, there were also many huge flying monsters circling above the city.
There were also many monsters walking in groups on the streets of the city.
“Looks like the virtual battlefield this time is still a modern city background, but it’s different from the preliminary round. There are many monsters in the
city…”
“It’s probably an adjustment made because of the beast tide’s invasion!”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself as his gaze landed on the screen on his left arm.
“Contestant: Chu Zhou
Points: o
Ranking: None
Region: Guangdong Sea Region Zone Two
Selection rules: The duration of the semi-finals is one day. After the semi-finals, the winner will be decided according to the number of points.
Points rule: Killing a contestant will earn you one point, and at the same time, you can steal half of the opponent’s points. Killing a monster will earn you one point, and if you are killed by a monster, you will lose half of your points.
“The rules of the ranking: The more points you have, the higher your ranking! Those who die during the competition will still participate in the points ranking.”
The rules of the competition were similar to the rules of the preliminary round.
It was just that they added monsters too.
Just as Chu Zhou was watching the competition rules, many people in the real world realized that Chu Zhou had appeared in the second region of the
Guangdong Area. They also opened the live-stream of Zone Two to watch. Not long ago, Chu Zhou had become world-famous because of the battle video at the front line and the battle video of him killing the Boundary-Realm Armored Giant Crocodile.
There were more than a billion people paying attention to him.
Therefore, when he appeared in the Guangdong Zone Two’, the live-stream of the ‘Guangdong Zone Two’ immediately became the most watched live-stream.
Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, Li Qingshi, Chu Yu, Dong Wende, and so on. Everyone
Chu Zhou knew, except for Dongfang Mingzhu and the other contestants in the semi-finals, had opened the live-stream of the ‘Zone ‘Ih’vo’ in the Guangdong Area.
Of course, the Chu family, the Ling family, the Jiang family, the Ernst family, and the Medici family were also paying attention.
“Eh? Am I seeing things? Blood Sword Xie Longyuan was also assigned to Chu Zhou’s competition zone
“Tsk tsk, Tyrannical Blade Chu Zhou and Blood Sword Me Longyuan are actually assigned to the same competition zone. This is a show to watch!
” Tyrannical Blade Chu Zhou is very strong, but Blood Sword Xie Longyuan is not weak either! He also killed a Commander Level bat-type monster..”
