Chapter 205: Simulation: Entering the Game
This is actually quite easy to understand.
How many ordinary players in the game fantasy realm can match the excellence of Ming Lun's students?
Ming Lun's students simply do not focus their efforts on playing games, otherwise, with their stronger physical fitness, better mental quality, and more superb control over their own power.
What do ordinary players have to compare?
Not to mention, in such a Supreme Cup, the realism has reached its peak, and even after entering, it does not level everyone to the same playing field; instead, whatever level you are at in reality, your body in the fantasy realm is at the same level.
This is a big brawl.
As for whether this competition is fair or not...
The organizers, that is, Zhao Xinglong and Cao Jingjing, do not seem to take this into account.
Perhaps in their eyes, this competition is fair.
Zhang Manman hopped onto a nearby bridge pier, looking down on her surroundings and said, "There are too many people here, are they planning to drop everyone into the same map?"
She couldn't help but make such a guess.
After all, there were too many people here, making it truly a sea of humanity.
Noise, swearing...
Random fighters, dancers, show-offs...
Even people shouting out proposals for illegal team-ups...
Thankfully, there were no cheaters selling hacks.
Of course, in such a real game fantasy realm, even if you wanted to sell hacks, you couldn't.
Jos immediately dismissed the idea.
"Impossible, if that were the case, it would no longer be a competition of games but an invasion of the Fourth Calamity."
"There should be an elimination round, with half the people being eliminated after each one," he said.
Chen Tian Yuzi checked his watch and said indifferently, "There are five minutes left until the start; should we prepare a bit?"
Zhang Manman, hands on her hips and full of spunk, said, "There's nothing to prepare for. We've already come in; can we even get out? The Supreme Cup only allows entry at five o'clock; otherwise, you can never enter again."
Su Jie suddenly said, "I just remembered, we haven't eaten yet."
No one picked up the topic.
Five minutes blinked by.
The game began!
Countless streams of light descended, enveloping groups of people and taking them away from there, into the game of Martial Arts Supreme.
Meanwhile, in the eyes of Sun Shisheng and others, the Martial Arts Supreme fantasy realm split into tens of thousands of maps at that moment, forming a string of grape-like clusters of bubbling foam.
"Sun, does this count as a rudimentary form of the multiverse?"
Wang Chao scooped up a clump of divine fire that had burst from the Fire Dimension and slurped it into his stomach, as if slurping noodles.
"It's only a rudimentary form of parallel dimensions," he said.
Sun Shisheng glanced at that string of "grapes" and slowly opened his mouth, "If it were a multiverse, every world would not look exactly the same."
"Multiverse implies diversity; if all worlds are identical and only the professions, appearances, and personalities of the same individual differ, then such a multiverse is quite monotonous."
The Dao gives birth to one, one births two, two births three, and three birth all things.
All things are not the same; that is truly marvelous.
Like the game fantasy realm of Martial Arts Supreme, a mere copy and paste can generate infinite parallel dimensions for players to enter and can be deleted when not needed.
That does not constitute a multiverse.
"To create a multiverse, we have a long way to go," Tang Zichen said gravely, "In fact, if Taixu Illusory Realm could accommodate the entire universe and the existence of various civilizations, it would have already been a multiverse."
For Tang Zichen, the real multiverse was far too grand.
Now, for humanity on Earth and even for them, the entire universe had not yet been fully explored, and to focus on other multiverses.
That was too arrogant.
When setting ambitions, one should avoid having no long-term goals, focusing only on the present, ending up aimless; but when taking action, one should avoid overreaching.
Looking to the future, acting in the present, and maintaining persistent perseverance, that is the correct path.
The multiverse is a bit far off for them right now.
And while the multiple cosmic dimensions connected by Taixu Sky Sphere are also called a multiverse, they essentially exist within the Chaotic Universe and are not a true multiverse; they need to understand its nature before anything else.
"Alright, Sister Zichen, the true multiverse is indeed a bit too far-reaching for us, so let's focus on the present and continue refining the Fire Dimension," Wang Chao said as he intensified his efforts on the Fire Dimension, forcing the others to increase their strength as well. It actually increased the speed of refining by thirty percent.
The original source is M|V|L5EMPYR.
At this rate, it was estimated that in just half a month, they could fully refine all the flames of the Fire Dimension, truly integrating it as part of the Taixu Illusory Realm.
It's worth noting that after increasing the intensity, Wang Chao had an apparition of Yuanshi Tianzun appear behind him, bearing the Yuanguang, wearing a coat of seventy-two colors, with his left hand feigning a pinch and his right hand pretending to hold something.
The intention of heaven and man are all his; he evolves endlessly.
And behind Li Hansha emerged the yin and yang qi, evolving into the virtual image of morality, clad in a five-colored cloud as a garment, wearing an overlapping crown, carrying a sharp sword on his back, and holding a feather fan in his hand.
Its conception was lofty, as if it were the Heavenly Dao, apathetic and indifferent, controlling the fate of heaven, but containing a hint of human will, adding a bit of vitality to it.
Between the two Qings, they complemented each other, all while evoking illusory Divine Powers.
There were two white streams of light, plain and unremarkable, yet in their simplicity lay the ultimate Dao; they further accelerated the refining speed of the Fire Dimension.
"Wow!"
```
Chan Yinsha exclaimed, "If the Three Purities were to gather, what a spectacle that would be."
After a moment of silence, Sun Shisheng slowly said, "If they ganged up on me, I might not be able to beat them."
"Really!?"
Shocked, Chan Yinsha indeed addressed them as the "Three Purities," but she didn't actually believe Wang Chao was Yuanshi Tianzun or Li Hansha was the Moral Tianzun.
Just as immortals and Buddhas are made by people.
She was more inclined to believe that in the future, Wang Chao would become Yuanshi and Li Hansha would become Taishang, as their personalities and paths indeed had some mysterious connection with two of the Three Purities.
"Sun, based on what you're saying, does it mean the Three Purities are truly destined?"
She didn't like the idea of predestined fate either.
"Who knows," Sun Shisheng said, watching Wang Chao and Li Hansha competing with each other, "perhaps, it is our actions that create destiny."
Meanwhile—
Su Jie, who had just entered the game with Zhang Manman, Jos, and Chen Tian Yuzi, looked up involuntarily at the azure sky of the illusionary world, revealing a pensive look.
"Su Jie, what's up? Is there something in the sky?"
Zhang Manman, waiting for the timer to end, noticed that Su Jie wasn't looking at the countdown numbers in the sky but seemed somewhat distracted, and asked.
"...I don't know why, but I feel a calling," Su Jie said, frowning, as he couldn't quite pinpoint the nature of this sensation.
Brother?
That didn't seem quite right.
He was an only child.
"It might just be an illusion," guessed Chen Tian Yuzi.
"Not necessarily," Jos had a different opinion, "People of high cultivation can, to some extent, sense the Heavenly Dao in the unknown. Maybe Su Jie has a premonition... So, Su Jie, can we win the championship?"
Su Jie was at a loss for words: "In ancient martial arts, there is the saying that 'the cicada knows of the coming autumn wind.' It means that with a certain level of practice, one can sense dangers lurking in the unknown."
"According to Ming Lun, when one's Mental Realm reaches a certain level, it can connect with the energy field between heaven and earth, allowing one to receive certain information."
"Like the principal and vice-principals of Ming Lun, who can merge with the energy field of heaven and earth to perceive everything in the world, and even use information to infer the future."
"My life force is only at 7, how could I possibly forecast the future?"
Let alone foresight, even active sensing was out of the question.
If he dared to touch it, he might end up being cooked thoroughly like in a microwave.

[Good luck, warriors, may you become the supreme martial artists!]
At that moment, the countdown ended, and Su Jie and others boarded a Flying Dragon Boat, suddenly appearing ten thousand meters up in the sky.
Feeling the whooshing of the wind past his ears, Jos shouted loudly, "Indeed, this is incredibly realistic!"
But the wind was too strong to hear what he was saying.
"Where shall we jump?"
Zhang Manman used the team channel to communicate with everyone.
Each person had a round dot on their chest, which could turn into a transparent microphone for communication between teammates with a simple touch.
"I'm not familiar with this map, do you have any good ideas?" Su Jie frankly said that he had been too preoccupied with playing Absolute Elite during junior high to pay much attention to Supreme Martial Artist.
"I'm not familiar either," Zhang Manman shook her head, then both looked towards Chen Tian Yuzi and Jos.
Chen Tian Yuzi naturally wasn't very familiar with it either, so in the end, everyone could only pin their hopes on Jos.
"Let's head to the Wild Marshes," Jos felt an extra confidence within him, "It's a place rich in resources, filled with Divine Weapons, and there are signal arrows."
He played frequently and was very fond of martial arts, so he was quite familiar with the map.
"And after that, we head to Xiangyang City, which also has a lot of resources; and then..."
"Stop!" Su Jie gestured with his hand, interrupting Jos, "First, tell me what is a signal arrow?"
A signal arrow in the game of Supreme Martial Artist?
Wasn't that only found in Absolute Elite?
"Uh... it's a signal arrow, which can be shot into the sky to call for supplies... Oh right, in Supreme Martial Artist, it's known as the Signal Arrow," Jos revealed in an exuberant manner, "One Signal Arrow, and armies converge to meet."
"Alright, then you lead the way."
"No problem! Follow me!"
Jos waited for the right moment and then jumped straight off the Dragon Boat.
Su Jie and the others quickly followed suit.
Honestly, this was Su Jie's first real jump, as he had never experienced anything like it before.
Feeling the fierce wind brushing past his face, Su Jie found it extremely thrilling.
The two girls, however, appeared nonchalant, showing no significant expression, probably because they were used to playing such realistic games.
