6pm.

There are about two hours left until the opening ceremony of the Awakener Competition.

Amid the roar of the engine, a large, pure white private supersonic aircraft landed safely on the airport runway under the guidance of the control desk.

As the electric staircase on the plane slowly extended downwards, a large group of people immediately trotted to the sides of the plane's stairs with attentive smiles on their faces and saluted the cabin door.

Waiting for the cabin door to open.

Xi Shenlian had just shown her face and had not even had time to take a step when the middle-aged woman leading the reception staff immediately nodded and bowed:

"Your Excellency Xishen!!"

"Welcome to our Haksar Island!!"

"I am the assistant to the island governor..."

Although she spoke in the local language, there was a translator next to her who was proficient in multiple languages ​​and was translating at a slower speed.

So even if the visitor is someone who can't understand the local dialect at all, it won't be a problem.

To this.

Xi Shenlian didn't seem to care much.

Next to him, Chiyama Yukie was chatting quietly with Ya Qisaki about something completely unrelated.

"Saki, I didn't expect you could fly a plane!"

What he said was full of the vehicle killer's deep envy for polygon drivers.

Even Chiyama Yukie's best friend Kokumo Miyako sighed:

“This is really amazing!”

"You know so many things at such a young age!"

The praise and envy from the two made Ye Qisaki humbly wave her hands and say:

"No, no... Miss Qianshan and Miss Guoyun, these are just some of the skills I learned by the way. I haven't used them for a long time, so they are a little rusty..."

At this moment, the whole situation can be described as you do your thing and I do mine.

Someone is on high alert.

Some people are indifferent.

Some people took the opportunity to chat.

…

…

Haksar Island.

The geographical location is in the Pacific Ocean.

The total area is approximately equivalent to one-third of Japan in Xi Shenlian's previous life.

The total local population is approximately 18 million.

Because this area is rich in various seafood and certain minerals, and has a good natural environment, the tourism industry has always been very developed.

It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.

In this Awakener Contest, only those in the [Initial Awakening Stage] and [Mature Stage] will fight on the field.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the [Global Parliament] did not place the competition venue in the safer and more stable [underground world], but placed it here which is more suitable for the public to watch remotely.

After all, compared with the [Self Stage], [Perfection Stage] and [Sublimation Stage], the destructive power of the [Initial Awakening Stage] and [Maturity Stage] is actually not too strong, and the surface environment can fully withstand it.

Of course...even so, it is still impossible to place the stadium directly in the urban area of ​​the island.

That's really what we need to do.

Ordinary people within a radius of more than ten kilometers would probably suffer heavy casualties.

It won't be much better than being hit by a few nuclear bombs.

When the reception staff who came to pick them up drove a special car, carrying Xi Shenlian and others to the competition venue.

On the way, their leader.

It can be said that his face showed an extremely flattering expression.

He directly told Xi Shenlian all the relevant matters that he must know with the attitude of a bootlicker.

Yes.

As the referee of the game, Xi Shenlian only began to understand some matters concerning the game at this time.

However, there was actually nothing for him to understand.

He's just the referee.

Just know the rules of the game.

For example: what are the prohibited items in the competition, how to judge the winner and loser, how to judge whether each participant has violated the rules or not...

These are all very basic things.

It's almost enough to just listen to it on the spot.

"Master Xishen, there are a total of 226 applicants from all over the world for this Awakener Competition, of which 154 are [Initial Awakeners] and 72 are [Mature Awakeners]. Their gender ratio is about 8:2..."

I have to say.

Two hundred and twenty-six.

This is an extremely rare number.

You should know that there are 522 independent sovereign countries in the world.

But at the moment, most member countries can't even get one contestant together and simply choose to give up the competition...

but.

in this regard.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that there are no awakened people in those countries.

It is very likely that there are only three or five awakened ones in total.

And those extremely rare awakened ones are often powerful people in their own countries.

Faced with a large-scale event where awakened people fight each other.

As long as it's not something everyone has to participate in.

Well, knowing that they have little chance of winning, most of them are naturally too lazy to come and get beaten.

This directly led to a further decrease in the number of applicants.

"As for the referees, including you, there are ten in total."

"Seven of them will be in charge of the [Awakening Stage Division], and three will be in charge of the [Mature Stage Division]. The referees can make their own arrangements based on the specific circumstances. It is expected that all matches will be completed within five days, and the final winners of the two divisions will be determined..."

"As for the preliminary round and the rematch..."

…

Just like that, during the other party’s explanation.

The group took a special car and arrived in front of a huge building.

It was a super large open-air venue located close to the sea.

Look around.

That thing is as big as a small city.

At each entrance and exit, the queues just stretched for hundreds of meters.

Sitting in the car and pointing at the bustling open-air venue, the receptionist said excitedly:

"That venue is a large venue built by the Global Parliament to receive viewers from all over the world. It can easily accommodate 200,000 people. It was built by an adult in just a few dozen minutes, and then a professional construction team carried out fine decoration in the following period..."

"As a reward for providing the venue, the venue will be donated to our country by the Global Parliament after the competition. It will not only bring us a huge amount of tourism traffic, but also..."

Wait for the other person to finish speaking.

After nodding as if he understood.

Gu Yun Meiyazi said with a little confusion:

"After tonight's opening ceremony, will the contestants have a big fight there tomorrow?"

“Will this be dangerous for the various audiences?”

Did you ask her if the building was big?

She would definitely answer without hesitation: big!

But if you ask her if she wants to go there and watch a group of awakened people fighting each other?

She would have refused on the spot.

She felt that the thing might not be enough for three or five ordinary awakeners to dismantle...

She had a little knowledge of the destructive power of the awakened ones, and did not think it would be a good thing to watch those guys fighting at close range.

Here's the close range.

It probably refers to dozens of kilometers.

She felt that she would be safe only if she was at least thirty to fifty kilometers away from the awakened people in the competition.

You can refer to the actual situation by watching the nuclear explosion test, just go further away...
