Uppercreek was exceptionally busy and lively today.
All the TV stations and platforms were broadcasting today’s world tournament live. It had already created a lot of hype both domestically and internationally!
Early in the morning, the martial arts delegations of 23 countries and regions went from their respective hotels to the world tournament venue in specially assigned vehicles.
The main roads in the entire city leading to the venue of the world tournament were closed to the public!
This was also to ensure that the participating delegations could arrive at the venue on time.
On the street, many tourists and local citizens looked at the luxury cars that sped past in front of them with excited gazes.
Many foreign tourists asked in confusion, “Holy sh*t, what’s happening in Uppercreek today? Why are there so many luxurious cars? Even the roads are closed.”
“Yeah, it seems very lively. Where are they going?”
The locals laughed and explained, “Are you from out of town? Today is the Martial Arts World Tournament. The national martial arts circle will be challenging the global martial arts alliance right here in Uppercreek Square.”
“World tournament? It sounds very impressive. Is it very exciting?” someone asked.
“Of course, it’s exciting. The venue can accommodate 100,000 people. What do you think? Moreover, prestigious families and famous figures from all over the country and even around the world will come to the venue to have a glimpse of the martial arts display.”
The local citizens said proudly.
This was a big event in Uppercreek!
It was also a great event for national martial arts!
“Wow, it’s that awesome? Let’s go and have a look then!”
Immediately after, an endless stream of visitors poured into the world tournament venue.
At this time, the venue was almost boiling with anticipation!
As far as the eye could see, the huge dome-shaped venue was filled with people. The whole scene was very grand and lively!
People from all regions and countries filled the stands. They were all holding little flags or draped in big flags, cheering and shouting.
When the camera swept across them, the crowd got even more excited!
A spectacular event, indeed!
The most central area of the venue was a huge martial arts stage with flags on all sides fluttering in the wind. The flags on 23 poles represented the 23 countries and regions participating this time.
The competition platform was paved with diamonds and it only took a few days to complete the transformation.
What a nation of infrastructure maniacs!
The easternmost part of the venue was the area for participating representatives.
At the uppermost center of the entire venue was a 360-degree surround LCD screen with a total of eight sides. It broadcasted the entire competition process to the world in all directions.
Of course, thousands of security guards were placed on the scene. They stood around the venue in an orderly manner, both inside and outside. They were dressed in black security uniforms and equipped with anti-riot batons as well as stun guns.
To prevent unexpected emergencies, the city’s security agencies even dispatched dozens of patrol cars and heavily armed combatants to be stationed around the venue.
The security procedures for entering the venue were also very strict.
After all, for such a big event, security measures must be in place!
Even so, some foreign powers had sneaked into the venue secretly.
They pretended to be tourists or groups of participants as they followed the crowd into the venue.
In the outskirts of Uppercreek, there was a temporary field base with dozens of tents and dozens of combat vehicles. Hundreds of heavily armed and well-prepared combat security personnel stood on standby, all of them nervous.
Inside the tents were many electronic devices for monitoring, listening, detecting, and so on.
Right in the middle was a green tent with an entire wall full of LCD screens.
The screens displayed the surveillance of the entire venue, including the various access points, the entrances, and the interior of the venue.
“Mr. Cole, the world tournament will officially begin in half an hour. The surrounding venue is under tight control.”
A tall man walked in and reported. He was wearing a black combat uniform, a black beret, and equipped with a weapon.
