Chapter 1152 - 697: Phoenix Nest, Commencement, Father God, A Year Destined for the Annals of History!
Returning to reality, Meng Chuan saw there was still an hour before his dinner date with Yang Yuelian.He decided to review some contestant profiles to get a general idea.
Quickly memorizing them...
The contestants’ profiles were incomplete, so he could only get a rough idea.
Meng Chuan was sure that many contestants were hiding their "big moves," waiting for the finals to astonish everyone.
...
Yang Yuelian, reluctantly:
"I won’t see you for many days, remember to miss me!
No, just focus on the competition. I’ll handle logistics. Let me know if you need anything."
Uncle and aunt called:
"Do your best, Chuan! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself!"
"Our community organizes everyone to watch the competition in the square, cheering for you."
"Bring glory to the country. We are proud of you!"
Xu Qingfeng and a few others cheered for him:
"Meng, crush them!"
"Brother Chuan, keep the [First Generation] title with Great Chu, keep it at our Northern United University!"
Finally, Principal Yang sent pre-match advice:
"Play well, perform excellently, I’ll consider reducing your teaching sessions in your research lab.
Also, remember to wear the Red Fire Dragon suit!"
On the dawn of January 1st, Meng Chuan, carrying blessings from his girlfriend and friends, embarked on his journey.
...
At eight in the morning, Meng Chuan arrived at the [Phoenix Nest] on time.
Looking at the immensely grand building in front of him, he was full of pride.
This is the "world’s premier Martial Arts Competition Center" in the strongest country in the world!
In terms of scale, it is unquestionably leading globally.
Meng Chuan roughly gauged its size—it’s five times larger than the Tianhai Waterdrop Martial Arts Competition Center.
Considering that [Waterdrop] is the world’s third-largest Martial Arts Competition Center, this is too impressive!
Walking through the contestant passage into the venue, he cleared his mind and began looking for his preparation room.
Throughout the long competition duration, until it ends, he’ll be spending his time in this room.
The excessively large audience area, originally able to accommodate half a million people, was repurposed into contestant preparation rooms.
Numbered from 0001 to 5000, there are five thousand pre-built rooms for contestants to use for preparation and living.
Starting from the front, Meng Chuan searched; he was the sixth seat of the Overlord, and Great Chu is the host for this [World Youth Championship], so his room number is 0006.
His expression was odd; there seemed to be an inexplicable scholarly force present.
Truth be told, he indeed has a special connection with the number "6"...
Standing at the door of room 6, he scanned his face, and the door opened at the sound.
Meng Chuan walked in, and the facilities and equipment in the room came into view.
For the finals, there won’t be an audience.
During the competition, except for high-level leaders from various countries who might attend the competition live, other spectators will watch the match online via streaming.
The contestants were searching for their preparation rooms while the official livestreaming room was hosting the opening ceremony of the [World Youth Championship].
Hosts interacted with the audience in the livestreaming room, followed by world-class singers and dancers performing on the virtual stage.
However, all of this was unrelated to Meng Chuan and other participants.
Their current task was to familiarize themselves with their respective preparation rooms in readiness for the official competition tomorrow!
Mainly, they needed to familiarize themselves with the convenient technologies provided by the intelligent systems in their rooms and the methods of matching and battling in the spiritual world.
This style of scheduling and method of competition is a first since the World Youth Championship was founded, requiring adaptation time for the contestants.
Yesterday, Meng Chuan asked Elder Zhou about it.
The intelligent system in each preparation room is in the ’I model home version,’ the same model as the one listed on the prize list of the competition.
Except, the former is basic with many limitations, whereas the prize intelligent system is full-fledged and fully equipped.
Still, this serves as an opportunity to experience how effective it is beforehand.
Additionally, all the intelligent systems in the preparation rooms are connected to the main server in the Phoenix Nest control room.
During the matching battles, they are parallel-circuited, creating separately independent spiritual worlds.
This technology is extremely complex. It relies not only on Great Chu’s cutting-edge technology but also on the considerable contribution of Abbot Xuanmou, whom other countries simply cannot mimic or implement.
Even if intelligent system technology were made public, without someone like Abbot Xuanmou, a top figure in ’spiritual’ aspects, they couldn’t build such powerful multidimensional coexisting spiritual worlds.
Not even Meili Jian’s [Wisdom Angel] could.
"The development of intelligent systems is rapid, promising to enter thousands of households in the near future, not only assisting martial arts practice but also making daily life more convenient and enriched for ordinary citizens."
Of course, currently, the development of intelligent systems is mainly prioritized as military and martial arts assistance.
The calamity of the Cosmos hangs like the Sword of Damocles over humanity, with every technological advancement primarily servicing "combat power." People are not yet at the point of indulgence.
Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan quickly familiarized himself with the room.
He still had a meal to attend with Xu Qingfeng, Chu Yanhu, and others as a farewell banquet.
Everyone originally wanted to stay in Beijing to cheer for him, but alas, [Phoenix Nest] didn’t sell tickets to the public.
Spectating online is the same, so they decided to return to Lishan Mountain to practice martial arts while cheering for him.
...
Meng Chuan took a stroll around the room, gaining a general understanding of the layout.
The room wasn’t large, less than two hundred square meters.
But the ceiling was quite high, with a height of six meters from the ground to the top.
Meng Chuan speculated that this height was convenient for large foreign contestants.
Especially those from Meili Jian.
Many of their contestants were over four to five meters tall, but they didn’t have the ability to "grow or shrink," which meant higher demands for living conditions.
Furthermore, the room layout was quite simple.
