Chapter 13

"Explore the training ground functions at your own pace," the man in the green robe said. "Next, I will tell you about the combat space in the entire game world."

Xu Jingming nodded.

The world of life evolution is mainly divided into three parts: personal space, mission space, and combat space.

"Wow."

The man in the green robe waved his hand.

A scene appeared before them, showing five figures selecting weapons and armor.

"The combat space is where five people choose their weapons and armor... then enter the map to engage in a life-or-death battle with the opposing five. The battle continues until one side is completely wiped out, and the other side wins."

The man in the green robe waved his hand again, and the scene changed to an ancient small town.

The small town was shrouded in a drizzle.

Ten people were scattered throughout the town.

"Whoosh."

An arrow pierced the air through the rain, heading towards an enemy. The enemy, who was hiding on a rooftop, sensed something amiss and turned to look, but the arrow was too fast. Before the enemy could react, it pierced the enemy's head, and the enemy turned into a shadow and dissipated, exiting the map.

"Kill!" A fierce man sprinted out, charging straight for the archer who had fired the arrow, while simultaneously throwing a short spear from his hand.

One after another, short spears were thrown. He carried two full quivers of short spears on his back.

The archer, frightened, ran away while firing arrows in return. Clearly, in a state of panic, his aim at a moving target was terrible, and he didn't even touch the opponent.

"Thud." Midway through his escape, a short spear pierced his chest, penetrating his leather armor. The archer turned into a shadow and dissipated.

"Each of them only uses ranged attacks, how boring." A tall, muscular man, over two meters tall, wearing heavy armor with only his head exposed, sat in the center of the town, holding a wine jar and drinking. His voice echoed throughout the town, "If you have the guts, come and face me one-on-one."

"You bear, I'll take you on." A female swordsman in red light armor stepped forward.

...

The cold weapon combat scene before him, with arrows, short spears, large axes, long spears, and sharp swords, made Xu Jingming's blood boil. The most dangerous combat mode he had pursued for the past twenty years was right before his eyes!

"Real-world martial arts weapon combat has various safety measures, how can it be as exciting as this?" Xu Jingming was excited. This was the stage that suited him the most.

"The combat space is where five teammates and another five opponents engage in cold weapon battles," the man in the green robe said. "You can choose heavy armor, but your agility will be greatly affected. If you choose light armor, your defense will be weaker. Each has its trade-offs."

"Ranged attacks, close combat, ambushes..." the man in the green robe smiled. "Since the game just started, the combat skills are relatively weak. The battle you see is a decent one that was just live-streamed, but there are still many issues. In a five-on-five battle, teamwork is crucial."

"Of course, if you are strong enough to take out five people alone, that's impressive," the man in the green robe smiled. "However, high-level battles involve the best experts on the entire Blue Planet. Cold weapon combat skills, combat strategy, and teamwork are all very important."

Xu Jingming nodded. "Five-on-five? No one-on-one?"

"Not yet."

The man in the green robe said, "This virtual game is designed with a core game mode of five-person teams engaging in cold weapon battles."

Xu Jingming understood, his eyes burning with enthusiasm.

Isn't this the kind of cold weapon combat scene every professional martial arts athlete dreams of? And the best part is, in the game, even if you die, it's just a game loss.

"Players are divided into levels based on their strength," the man in the green robe said. "The weakest are the Starlight level, the next level up is the Silver Moon level, then the Sun level! The highest is the God level."

"Starlight level players are beginners."

"Silver Moon level players have a base combat power threshold of 150."

"Sun level players have a base combat power threshold of 400."

"God level players have a base combat power threshold of 1000."

"There are two ways to level up. One is to reach the maximum stars in the previous level and meet the base combat power threshold, which allows you to level up. The other is to reach 120% of the base combat power threshold and directly participate in a ranking match. Passing the ranking match... will directly advance you to the new level."

"For example, a beginner player with a base combat power of 480 can participate in a Sun level ranking match for the first time. If they pass, they will directly become a Sun level player, without having to level up from the Starlight level step by step," the man in the green robe explained.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and checked his personal combat power panel.
