Combined with recent television coverage of the depletion of Earth's resources and the accelerating rise in sea levels, this makes the issue seem even more real.

As a result, everyone was staring intently at the screen in front of them.

Countries with weaker athletic abilities are especially on edge right now.

There are only forty opportunities for the redistribution of global resources.

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, most mobile phones, computers and other devices that can input text suddenly displayed an extra dialog box.

The incident caused a global uproar, with countless discussions taking place.

China.

This matter was immediately designated as a national-level event, and several experts were quickly invited to sit in the CCTV anchor room.

This live broadcast is a matter of vital importance to the survival of China; who would dare not care?

Netizens across the country are alarmed because although China is strong in sports, sprinting has always been a weak point.

"Sprint? Why sprint? Why not diving or table tennis?"

"What on earth is happening in this world? I told you that there have been earthquakes and tsunamis lately."

"May Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha bless our country so that the selected sprint superman is someone I think is good."

"I'm so nervous. The first shot is already over. That guy from America was really fast."

"The 100-meter dash is just the first opportunity to enter the Heart of the World. You need to be an all-around athlete. Otherwise, what if it's fraught with danger once you get in? Didn't you hear that you might die if you enter the Heart of the World?"

"He can't die. If he dies, we'll lose our resources. Our great nation of China, with thousands of years of musical heritage, will surely choose the best candidate. I think it's very likely a mysterious special forces soldier."

Various opinions and discussions continue to emerge in various places where they can be commented on and discussed.

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and the more nervous he got.

Of course, there's more worry than anything else.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, the host was Saning, Xie Fei, the second-longest-holding sprinter in China, and Lu Shanhe, an all-around wilderness survival expert.

Seeing the comments from netizens, the three people in the live stream were actually extremely nervous.

Sanin rubbed his hands together and said, "Xie Fei, this life-or-death battle is a nerve-wracking one. Who do you think the World Power will choose as the contestant?"

Xie Fei took a deep breath and said, "The voice said it was random, but China is a great nation with a vast and rich musical heritage. I think we will definitely choose the best person. I just called Lao Qin, but he didn't answer. Maybe he was chosen."

Beside him, Lu Shanhe chimed in, "If Qin Xun is selected, then this first place in the 100 meters is basically secured. But what about the competitions to come?"

Host Sanin said, "The camera then focused on another group of contestants. The contestant from Dongying was in second place, but they didn't get a chance. This seems like an opportunity for us."

Xie Fei said, "That's right. Dongying, which is living a good life, looks strong in the recent global games, but in reality, it is all bark and no bite. This can be considered a reminder to them."

Sanin continued, "However, currently, the United States has successfully entered, while Dongying is only second. If the two countries were to unite, this music..."

Sanin didn't finish speaking, but the listeners understood perfectly.

If the music of the United States and Dongying were to unite, the ensuing competition would be very disadvantageous.

Xie Fei asked nervously, "Which contestant from our country is it?"

The live broadcast footage showed that not many countries were given much power at this time.

It's just a series of matches played according to predetermined rules.

Every time the announcement of which countries' athletes will compete is made, the world is thrilled, but the people of those countries standing on the field are still the most nervous.

Finally, a new group of contestants appeared on camera, and the name of China was prominently listed.

At the same time, there are also the names of eight countries, including Bagua Country, Mickey Country, and Romantic Country.

And the camera is appearing one after another.

The romantic country caused an uproar online.

Excitement echoed throughout every corner of the Romantic Kingdom, simply because the person randomly selected was one of the few sprint champions in the Romantic Kingdom, who had even run under ten seconds with a tailwind.

Looking at their opponents, China, Bagua Country, and Mickey Country are basically short-legged countries; where would they find a sprinter?

Recently, a man surnamed Qin from a lower kingdom has been running very fast. Could it be that he was chosen by chance?

Therefore, the people of the Romantic Country felt that this group's first place was already in their grasp.

Inside China, everyone was incredibly tense. Upon seeing the contestant from the Romantic Kingdom, the host exclaimed in shock, "It's Wolf Knight Ston Frank, who broke the ten-second barrier!"

Xie Fei rubbed his hands together and said, "The pressure is immense. Even Lao Qin isn't always confident of winning. Good luck!"

Hearing the commentators' tense voices, the Chinese people became even more nervous. But just then, the camera finally focused on Xu Fan, and a voice rang out.

"Ninth track, China, Xu Fan."

The simple introduction left everyone at Huaxia Institute completely dumbfounded.

Who is Xu Fan?

The sight of Xu Fan, looking slightly tired in his shorts and standing on the track as if he had just woken up, shocked everyone in China.

Is this a sign that Heaven intends to destroy China?

There is no lengthy introduction.

He has only a simple name: Xu Fan.

But who had ever heard of this name? Everyone in the entire Xia region gaped in astonishment.

Especially with those baggy shorts and slippers, she looks like she just woke up not long ago.

That's it...

To represent China's 1.8 billion people in the competition for the right to enter the heart of the world?

Upon hearing the introduction and seeing Xu Fan, countless people across the country watching the match clenched their fists.

Tension, unease, and anxiety—all sorts of emotions swirled in everyone's hearts.

"Who the hell is this Xu Fan? Where did he come from? What gives him the right to represent China? What gives him the right?"

"That's right, why isn't it Qin Shen? What should we do? I have a feeling we're going to lose. Is our great nation really going to lose like this?"

"Ugh, where the hell did this come from? Look at that skinny little body, he doesn't look like someone who can run 100 meters, he'd probably be weak even for 50 meters."

"Brothers, we can't say that. Since he represents China, we must support him no matter what."

"Yes, don't jinx it. We should believe him, even if... we must believe him because he represents China, and he represents the 1.8 billion people of China."

"Go for it, Xu Fan! Go for it! Go for it!"

The viewers in the live stream went wild.

No one knows where Xu Fan came from. If he were tall, perhaps no one would have thought much of it.

However, Xu Fan was really too... excessive.

Especially wearing flip-flops and baggy shorts, it's such a silly sight.

After all, this is a global war, and he represents 1.8 billion people across the country.

Of course, if they knew Xu Fan's teleportation process, they wouldn't be so surprised. Xu Fan wanted to too, but the power of the world didn't give him a chance at all.

At this moment, in the Huaxia live broadcast room.

Saning was completely stunned. He stared at Xu Fan on the screen and subconsciously asked, "Do either of you know who this Xu Fan is?"

Xie Fei, a sprinter, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Wilderness survival expert Lu Shanhe also shook his head and said, "Being chosen by the power of the world to represent China, perhaps this person is exceptionally talented."

In fact, even Lu Shanhe himself didn't believe it when he said those words.

Running the 100 meters in flip-flops and baggy shorts?

Even if someone is exceptionally talented enough to outrun him?

Even cows don't exaggerate like that.

===Chapter 1037 Xu Fan's First Match===

Saning knew that Lu Shanhe was actually just looking for an excuse, a reason to keep the Chinese people supporting him. Perhaps, everyone's prayers would turn into strength, allowing this contestant named Xu Fan to unleash unprecedented power.

Although the chances were slim, both Lu Shanhe and Saning wanted to give it a try.

Or rather, everyone across the country wants to give it a try.

Sanin then asked, "Xie Fei, what do you think Xu Fan, as an athlete, should do to run even faster?"

Xie Fei really wanted to say that no matter what they did, they couldn't possibly come in first place.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Take off your shoes first."

"what?"

Saning was clearly taken aback when Xie Fei said, "Xu Fan's shoes are flip-flops, which are completely unsuitable for running 100 meters. Even if he is a true sprinting genius, he cannot run in flip-flops."

Lu Shanhe nodded and said, "That's true. Taking off your shoes is probably the simplest way, but it would be perfect if you had a pair of running shoes."

Yes, it would be great to have a pair of running shoes.

Despite feeling that such a thing was impossible, countless people in China shared the same thought after hearing Lu Shanhe's words.

On the other hand, when the contestants from the Gossip Country took the stage, netizens in the Gossip Country were equally shocked.

The live stream chat exploded with messages.

"Wow, Oppa, the one who was chosen is my Oppa."

"Oppa, you bastard! This is a life-or-death battle for the nation, and you chose some pretty boy to go."

"Get out of here, upstairs! My oppa is on a variety show and he's the first in the 100-meter dash, okay?"

"Oppa is the best, Oppa is the most handsome, Oppa fighting, Oppa is strong, myo-mi-da."

Netizens in the gossip country were heartbroken, with supporters and angry people instantly turning into a chaotic mess, while at this moment, Park Moo, the "oppa" of the gossip country, was sweating profusely as he stood in the virtual stadium.

He never dreamed that he would be chosen.

When his gaze fell upon Xu Fan of the Ninth Path beside him, he was slightly taken aback.
