rrived in this area. The modern metropolis seemed vast, but the actual combat-capable range was only one kilometer! Even as time dragged on, the operational range would shrink. 。Narrowing the scope,...Preparation Area.

Tian Ya'no glanced at the other side and casually selected light armor and a long staff.

“His forte was undoubtedly his staff skills.” Xu Jingming understood as soon as he saw this, and he also chose light armor and a long spear as usual. He also noticed that the map for this battle was 'Ancient Battlefield', which had no cover at all. The environmental factors during combat were minimized to the absolute minimum.

The two transformed into beams of light and flew into the map.

*****

Ancient battlefield map.

The only structure here was a massive, ruined ancient city wall, stretching nearly a kilometer long. Outside the wall lay a vast expanse of land that looked as if it had been stained crimson with blood. At this moment, two figures descended and landed on this ground.

Tianya smiled and looked at Xu Jingming, "A first genius among billions of people in a newly emerged cosmic civilization This first genius doesn't even know what he'll be facing today"

Tianna never thought she would lose!

He was taught from a young age things that the Blue Star civilization couldn't even imagine, let alone think about, guided personally by legendary beings from across the cosmos. His capabilities far surpassed Xu Jingming's comprehension.

"However, one can't be careless. After all, his talent is extraordinary, while mine is quite lacking." Tia Nuo murmured, "I hope this newly crowned first genius of the universe will give me some inspiration and allow me to evolve further."

Tian Ya'no observed Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming also observed his opponent: "Tia Yano has always been very mysterious, rarely making public appearances, and every time he wins easily. He defeated my master Liu Hai just as easily, I must remain at my highest alert and not give him any opportunities."

The two sides' fighting spirit grew increasingly intense, and in that instant when their fighting spirits seemed to resonate with each other—

Ti Yano and Xu Jingming moved simultaneously. Their figures tore through the air, visible waves of energy exploding outward as they instantly closed the distance. A long staff and a long spear lashed out towards each other.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Weapons clashed together rapidly.

Two people moved at high speed, their weapons clashing constantly.

"Double Image!" Tryano's figure blurred and became more ghostly the instant they engaged. His staff moved faster, wielding the very technique that had defeated Liu Hai – Double Image.

The trick of "refraction", as it is called, was one of Tianyano's signature moves.

“What fast staff techniques!” Xu Jingming was secretly amazed while fighting. He had just managed to block a sweeping strike when the staff immediately reversed, and the other end thrust towards him! It was so fast that luckily, he had already integrated the essence of the Water Style into his gunplay. His gunplay became faster with each move, barely managing to block it.

The clash of various weapons held the global audience in breathless anticipation.

"Come in and work hard right away"

"You're making your moves too quickly."

"Are they that much stronger than us"

Including Liu Hai and Tiger *Fosen, a number of fifth-rank masters felt stifled.

Xu Jingming and Tia Nuo just clashed, the power they unleashed could instantly obliterate Liu Hai and Tiger Fusen!

“The two masters fought at an astonishing speed.” The female host looked at the slow-motion scene beside her. Even at ten times slow motion, Tiana's staff movements still turned into phantoms. Slashing, pulling, stabbing, poking, sweeping... the staff was illusory and ever-changing, attacking frantically.

...while Xu Jingming excelled at the Rainbow Piercing Gun Technique! The technique itself prioritized speed! Now, integrating the essence of water into his moves, he unleashed a flurry of attacks—one shot after another! In slow motion, the long spear blurred, transforming into a multitude of gun shadows....

"This is outrageous."

"Slow motion ten times, I still can't see it clearly"

"Are they still human"

Countless viewers were dumbfounded. They could clearly see the match even in slow motion, before. But this time, even at ten times slow motion, they couldn't see it! Of course, they could still see the figures of the two moving, but not their weapons.

"This is the competition between the first and second in the world."

"They are much better than Liu Hai and Tiger Woods, aren't they"

I just watched three or four games. After watching the first and second place matches, I feel like they are not on the same level at all.

Whether it's the speed of movement or the speed of weapons, there's a world of difference!

"Interesting!"

Tia's mouth twitched upwards slightly, and as she suddenly thrust out a staff, her arm stretched abruptly, growing by half a meter, making the range of the staff strike significantly larger.

Xu Jingming, however, was well-prepared. With a sweep of his spear, he unleashed the ultimate technique "Water Style," resembling surging waves. The spear swept over the blow, blocking it: "Haru * Singh excels at lengthening his arms and legs. In previous matches, Tyano's chest and torso extended and indented significantly, dodging my master's blade. According to Haru * Singh, Tyano is obviously more skilled in body elongation. How could I not guard against this move"

"Huff huff huff."

Tyrano's attacks were not only fast, but his arms would sometimes lengthen, making his strikes even more unpredictable and baffling. Xu Jingming found himself under immense pressure, often forced to rely on the Water Style to defend himself.

This water-style technique is versatile, able to be both defensive and offensive. It can easily transition from defense to offense at any time.

"Stars shatter!" Tyranno was getting more and more excited, her whole body like a whip, all her strength flowing through her arms into the staff, striking out suddenly. This strike was as fast as lightning! The power behind it was also significantly stronger than before.

This is precisely one of the ultimate moves Tyrano learned, "Star Shattering".

Xu Jingming still swept in with his long spear, cautiously blocking the attack. But the moment his spear touched the staff—

"That's not good."

Xu Jingming felt a terrifying penetrating force, a force that made it difficult for him to dissipate. For a moment, he could only do his best to resist with his spear.

Boom!

Under the clash of weapons, Xu Jingming was sent flying backwards.

Tian Ya'nan, however, moved with a swiftness that left him catching up in an instant. With another ferocious swing of his staff, he launched yet another strike of his signature move, 'Star Shattering'. Xu Jingming flew backwards as the attack landed, but immediately countered with a flurry of spear techniques to deflect it.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tiya Nuo relentlessly pursued and attacked with a flurry of twelve strikes, attempting to knock the long spear from Xu Jingming's grasp! However, Xu Jingming, while continuously retreating, skillfully parried each attack twelve times in succession. He held onto his long spear firmly throughout the onslaught.

"Bang."

After being struck twelve times, Xu Jingming was sent flying and crashed into the ancient city wall. The impact was so forceful that a section of the wall shattered under the tremendous pressure, sending countless huge stones tumbling down. They completely buried that area, and also Xu Jingming's body.

"Huh"

"Xu Jingming!"

"Xu Jingming was buried by the city wall!"

Many people were dumbfounded.

Speaking slowly, Tianyano had swung out twelve strikes! But in reality, it was only a little over two seconds! In that less than two seconds, Xu Jingming kept flying backward. Even though his feet touched the ground several times, he never managed to stand firm and was completely bombarded into the city wall, causing the wall to collapse.

"Jingming," Li Miaomiao looked at the collapsed city wall with worry. Countless rubble covered it, and she couldn't see Xu Jingming's figure at all.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Old Master Xu, and all the members of the Pear Wood Team were incredibly nervous.

The entire nation of Xia, as well as Xu Jingming's countless fans around the globe, were all on edge.

No, just give up, right

……

Beneath the ruins of the collapsed wall, Xu Jingming had collided with the entire map's boundary. The transparent membrane wall blocked Xu Jingming's backflip, and countless stones pressed down on him.

“Such a fierce Tia Nuo.” Xu Jingming’s throat felt sweet, swallowing a mouthful of blood. The impact from hitting the city wall was still quite strong, injuring him even with his own body. Xu Jingming glanced at the transparent membrane wall behind him, gripped the spear in his hand, and didn’t rush to kill outwards. With his cellular-level control, his body recovered quickly, giving him a chance to recover.

Meanwhile, Xu Jingming closed his eyes beneath the ruins. His heart was as tranquil as stars, eternally silent, amplifying his senses, faintly sensing every wisp of energy from the outside world.a wall over three meters high. The second carried him forward, landing mere steps from the azure figure sprinting across the rooftops in the distance. 。With the potential energy of gravity and the ex...
