In the martial arts arena in his personal space.

“Ready…” Xu Jingming stood in an empty field, and in the distance were railguns. “Railguns, fire!”

These projectiles reached Mach 10 speeds, and each metal shell weighed 10 kilograms. When they were fired from the muzzles, the projectiles tore through the air and formed visible white waves with terrifying might. They instantly arrived in front of Xu Jingming.

The railguns’ AI locked onto Xu Jingming, and every projectile honed in on him.

Xu Jingming stood still and brandished his spear.

Bang!

The spear danced like a water dragon as it accurately struck the metal projectile from the side, throwing it off-course.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

After Xu Jingming lashed out at the projectiles, his spear naturally borrowed the rebound forces to lash out at the other projectiles. Instantly, the spear in Xu Jingming’s hand turned into a blur, and in the blink of an eye, he had launched more than ten consecutive strikes at the incoming projectiles.

The spear struck out using the rebounding forces and was fluid like water.

The might of the ‘projectiles’ fired from the railgun array increased. Starting from Mach 10, they slowly increased in speed—3,500 meters per second, 3,600 meters per second, 3,700 meters per second…

The speed gradually increased. On the one hand, it left Xu Jingming little time to block, and on the other hand, the might of the electromagnetic projectiles was greater.

However, Xu Jingming stood there, and his spearmanship was like fluid water that perfectly blocked every projectile. The projectiles couldn’t injure him at all.

When the projectiles’ speed reached 4,600 meters per second, Xu Jingming finally failed after being bombarded by more than ten consecutive rounds. He could only dodge the projectile that brushed past his body.

All the electromagnetic projectiles suddenly stopped.

“Failed to block; relied on movement technique to dodge.” Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. The first volume of Xuan’s legacy, ‘Beam Transformation,’ has five ultimate moves. I’m still quite a distance from achieving greater mastery of ‘Water.’ To this day, none of the moves have achieved greater mastery!

The five ultimate moves in the first volume of Beam Transformation were divided into different categories. Combo was only one of them.

Although Xuan’s highest achievement was purely Spear Thrust, it didn’t mean that he only knew this move! The move Xu Jingming named Life-Nourishing Spear Technique actually contained many basic moves of spearmanship. In the early stages of Life Evolution, one had to cultivate all kinds of basics, and they were demanding with the requirements.

According to the legacy’s description, the stronger one cultivates the four ultimate moves—Mountain, Water, Fire, and Spatial Domain—the better. Only when one has sufficient mastery in the four ultimate moves can they be fused into the final combo—Beam Transformation, Xu Jingming thought.

For example, Xuan had practiced Life-Nourishing Spear for a long time before the most critical battle of his life. This was all a result of an accumulation.

According to Xuan, as a Perfected planetary lifeform, Beam Transformation can deliver 36 consecutive strikes. It’s difficult to find an opponent at the same level. Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. I’m still some distance away from this step.

I’ll continue practicing the next move—Fire Style. Xu Jingming continued cultivating.



In the blink of an eye, it was 9 p.m. on June 5. The quarter-finals of the World Martial Arts Tournament were held today to choose the top four globally.

“Welcome, viewers from all over the world. Three new guests have been invited to our livestream today.” The female host looked to her side—the cold Miyagawa Meishin, the humble and bald Alan Emelianenko, and the stocky, behemoth-like Riven Gullit. “Our three guests are experts who have reached Lv. 5. They can also give us a more detailed commentary of the battles.”

“Hello, everyone.” The bald man, Alan, smiled, and Miyagawa Meishin bowed slightly.

“We will definitely commentate on the competition well, but there might be some things we don’t understand in the subsequent matches.” Riven Gullit chuckled. “I request for everyone’s understanding. After all, these experts are stronger than us.”

Alan and Miyagawa Meishin nodded, but they were a little surprised. Riven Gullit was quite eloquent.

“Today, the world’s eight strongest contestants will go through four matches to determine the top four,” the female host said. “The first match is between Tu Ling and Tejano Xire. Who do the three of you think will win?”

“Of course, it’s Tejano!” Alan Emelianenko nodded and said, “Tejano’s talent is one of the best in the world, and his strength is terrifying and unfathomable. Although Tu Ling is very talented, there’s still a clear gap when compared to Tejano.”

Miyagawa Meishin nodded. “Tejano, Liu Hai, and Xu Jingming are probably in a whole different category across the world.”

“Haha, everyone has seen my battle with Tejano.” Riven Gullit was helpless. “I was like a fool in front of him; I was at his mercy.”



In the stands.

Xu Jingming, his relatives, and his friends gathered in the same stands, and the large group of people chatted about the competition in pairs.

Whoosh.

A figure suddenly appeared—it was Liu Hai.

“Master.” Xu Jingming immediately got up.

“Captain.” Xu Hong and Dai Tongda immediately greeted him.

Liu Hai smiled and nodded. He walked to Xu Jingming’s side and sat down. “Have a seat too.”

“Master, it’s rare for you to watch the competition with me,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“Today’s first match is Tejano,” Liu Hai said. “If I win the second match, then my opponent in the semi-finals… will be Tejano! To be honest, Tejano’s talent is very terrifying. He hasn’t revealed his full strength in public combat until now. He’s a haze in front of me, so I want to hear your opinion.”

He knew that his disciple was an expert on the same level as him. Both parties had different understandings of martial arts, so what they saw in the competition was naturally different.

“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded.

His master was in the first half while he was in the second half. Be it his master or Tejano… he had to meet them in the semi-finals. Of course, the premise was that he had to be the final winner in the second half! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be qualified to enter the semi-finals.

“The competition has begun.” The female host’s voice was excited. “The map for this battle is the forest map!”

The forest ground was muddy after the rain.

Tu Ling wore light dark-gold armor and held a shield and saber as she focused on the opponent in front of her—Tejano Xire. Tejano was still wearing light black armor, but he was holding a golden staff.

“Staff?” In the livestream stands, Liu Hai looked and whispered, “This is Tejano’s first time publicly using a staff.”

“He should be more cautious at the quarter-finals. This might be the weapon he’s best at,” Xu Jingming said.

“A 16-year-old girl; you sure are young.” Tejano chuckled and casually carried his staff. “Come, come. Just do your best.”

“Alright.” Tu Ling’s expression was solemn. She moved after a terse response.

Whoosh.

At the same time, three Tu Lings appeared bizarrely. They moved between the trees in the forest, sometimes on the ground, and sometimes over the tree branches. They changed unpredictably and rapidly approached.

“Quite agile.” Tejano still held the staff in one hand and rested it on his shoulder, appearing very relaxed.

Swish!

The three Tu Lings approached simultaneously, each holding a shield and saber.

Whoosh!

As she approached, Tejano attacked first! After all, the staff was longer, and the attack range was greater! He held one end of the staff with one hand and swung it horizontally!

The staff tore through the air, producing a visible white blast that dissipated the three Tu Ling figures. Tu Ling’s true body was sent flying with her shield, finally landing on a tree in the distance.

Tu Ling stared at Tejano and felt the suffocating pressure.

His staff technique is too fast. His simple sweep is so fast that I can’t get close to him. Tu Ling felt the huge gap.

“China’s Tu Ling is the most agile I’ve ever seen in the World Martial Arts Tournament,” Alan Emelianenko said. “There are several people who are faster than her in terms of pure speed, but she’s very agile and can constantly change directions! Her shield and saber techniques are also very brilliant…”

“It’s useless. Tejano can only be described with one word—fast! His staff can be swung casually, but because he’s fast enough, Tu Ling can’t dodge.” Riven Gullit shook his head.



The competition proceeded as expected. Tu Ling used her unpredictable movement technique to close in and attack, but Tejano would swing his staff every time, sweeping horizontally, striking diagonally, or swinging upward, sending Tu Ling flying.

“Young lady, I allowed you to attack seven times. It’s my turn.” Tejano took a step and instantly appeared in front of Tu Ling as if he had teleported.

Tu Ling retreated in fright, but the staff had already stabbed her. Although she wanted to raise her shield to block, the staff was too fast! It flashed past the shield and stabbed into Tu Ling’s throat, causing her entire body to turn ethereal.

Although I’ve reached Lv. 5 in every aspect, there’s still a huge gap between Tejano and me. Tu Ling understood this.

“What do you think?” Liu Hai’s expression was clearly much more solemn as he asked Xu Jingming beside him.

“During the livestream, the projection showed…” Xu Jingming watched the slow-motion replay. “Tejano arrived in front of Tu Ling with 403 meters per second being his maximum speed. I don’t even have an advantage against him in terms of speed. Moreover, this might not be his maximum speed.”

“Jingming, you can also reach 400 meters per second?” Liu Hai looked at his disciple.

He was far from capable of doing so..
