Chapter 26

Xu Jingming felt an incomparably powerful force transmitted through the spear shaft, making his hands numb. The spear was jolted upward, and he was forced to take three consecutive steps back, each step causing the ground to crack.

"Hmm?" Gao Chong also felt a terrifying impact force transmitted through his spear, causing his spear to uncontrollably slam into the ground. Despite the combined weight of his armor and weapons exceeding 500 kilograms, he was forced to take two steps back, his blood surging.

Both sides stared at each other.

Xu Jingming took three steps back, and Gao Chong took two, but this did not mean Gao Chong had the upper hand! Sometimes, taking more steps to dissipate the impact force results in less injury.

Facing a fierce impact, standing firm without retreating means the entire force is absorbed by the body! For someone as proud as Gao Chong to be forced to take two steps back, it was truly a testament to the overwhelming power of the spear technique.

"Before I had the Evolution Method, my full-force spear strike already exceeded 1,000 kilograms of impact force," Xu Jingming said, looking at his opponent. "Now, after practicing the Heavenly Python Evolution Method, my physical attributes are much stronger, and my body's resilience is like a dragon's spine, making it more suitable for mobilizing full-body strength. This spear strike has at least 10,000 kilograms of impact force, and Gao Chong can withstand it!"

Gao Chong also stared at Xu Jingming: "I practiced the most suitable Grizzly Bear Evolution Method for me, using the weight of the heavy armor to convert the charge force into spear force, yet I didn't gain the upper hand."

Choosing heavy armor was for two reasons: defense and increased weight.

The greater the weight, the more terrifying the impact force when running. A 300-kilogram weight was the balance he chose for the heavy armor. Any heavier would affect his spear technique.

"Exciting!" Gao Chong laughed loudly. "If you have the skills, keep resisting!"

"Come!" Xu Jingming shouted, stepping forward first, like a warrior from ancient times.

Xu Jingming was very confident. In the years since his injury, he had continuously refined his spear technique. Now, having the opportunity to face a powerful opponent like Gao Chong, wasn't this the best chance to test the might of his spear technique?

"Alright." Gao Chong also stepped forward.

Both god-level experts chose to abandon evasion and engage in pure offense!

"Boom."

This time, Gao Chong slashed his spear, and Xu Jingming charged forward to thrust his spear. Both were forced to take several steps back.

But without hesitation, they charged forward again.

Boom!

Bang!

Crash! Slash! Sweep! Thrust! Block! Grasp! Draw!

Each move was a full-force burst, and they collided at their limits nine times in a row!

During the offensive, neither dared to ignore the other's spear and directly attack the body. Because one spear from Gao Chong could pierce through Xu Jingming's armor, and Xu Jingming's "Shadowless Thrust" could pierce through Gao Chong's skull if given the slightest chance.

So both had to break the other's spear momentum! Once the spear's threat was neutralized, they could seize the opportunity to kill the opponent.

How to break the other's strong momentum?

Proud as they were, both chose to clash head-on nine times!

"What kind of spear technique is this?"

"Like a battle of the gods."

"My goodness, are they tearing down houses?"

In the Xia Kingdom's official live stream, which had already surpassed 700 million viewers, the audience was boiling.

This god-level battle, if the archer's "arrow" was sharp and cool, and if Laozi Liu Jianfeng's assassination was like a white rainbow piercing the sun, making people's hearts race.

Then now, the battle between Xu Jingming and Gao Chong was like the clash of two mighty warriors in a myth.

"Rumble~~~" The walls beside the street were collapsing, and wherever the spears swept, they crumbled! The stone pavement was already completely shattered.

Every time Xu Jingming and Gao Chong stepped, dirt and stones flew.

Each of their spears caused a fierce wind to howl!

"This is the strength of the world's top level." Panda Zhang Qian, who had exited the battle space, also came to the Xia Kingdom's official live stream. He watched this scene and said, "Both of them are much stronger than me."

In the stands, Liu Hai also watched and nodded: "In the three years since Jingming retired, he hasn't slacked off, and his spear technique has become even more refined. Gao Chong's use of strength has also become more natural. They have met their match!"

The ordinary audience was stunned and boiling.

The three commentators on the commentary stand were equally shocked.

"This, this is too strong. I've never seen two people fight like this!" The host Liu Xin was completely stunned.

"This is the art of battle! The art of the spear!" Coach Huang Yong said, "Gao Chong has always fought with brute force, as if relying on sheer strength. But that's an illusion! Relying on brute force won't get you to the top of the world. Gao Chong's mobilization of his full-body strength and the utilization of the armor's weight are both superb."

Huang Yong said excitedly, "Anyone who has studied physics knows that kinetic energy is greatly influenced by mass. Gao Chong, wearing 300 kilograms of heavy armor, with a large body weight, each charge has a terrifying impact force. He perfectly mobilizes his own impact force, making each of his spear strikes irresistible."

"But Xu Jingming blocked it." Qin Yiwén said, "And he is also engaging in offense!"

"Yes." Huang Yong nodded, "Xu Jingming's burst is even stronger! His speed is faster! Xu Jingming has the foundation of Bajiquan and Chuo Jiao, each step making the earth tremble. His force generation technique is more perfect, and choosing the Heavenly Python Evolution Method is more conducive to his burst force."

Qin Yiwén praised, "When he used the dual shields to knock Sun Yuting away, I remember he only took two steps, and his speed burst to 30.8 meters per second, comparable to the speed of a Shadow Leopard Evolution Method expert."

"This is a high-level force generation technique." Huang Yong said, "Now, both of them have chosen to clash head-on! They want to overwhelm the other!"

...

In the small town, on the street.

After another collision, both Xu Jingming and Gao Chong staggered to the side, staring at each other.

"I'm a bit tired." After nine head-on clashes, Xu Jingming felt his internal organs vibrating, his throat sweet, and his muscles and bones somewhat weak.

The counterforce from each clash was too strong, and his body was somewhat injured.

"Gao Chong practices the Grizzly Bear Evolution Method, with a strong constitution and strength. I rely more on force generation techniques to hold my own in short-term clashes." Xu Jingming thought, "But it's too damaging to the body, and in the end, I won't be able to hold out."

The other's constitution was naturally suited for hard resistance.

"Short-term clashes, I can hold my own, but long-term hard resistance... I still can't match Gao Chong." Xu Jingming was very clear about this, "I've had a good fight, but I should switch to my most suitable fighting style."

Choosing light protective armor, Xu Jingming's spear technique was never about hard clashes.

"My world-renowned move is the Shadowless Thrust! It's fast!" Xu Jingming's figure moved, and he quickly shifted to Gao Chong's side, thrusting his spear like lightning.

"What's wrong? Scared? Starting to dodge?" Gao Chong deliberately provoked, but he was more cautious. His spear was powerful, but in terms of speed, it was still slower compared to Xu Jingming.

"Earlier, it was about strength, now it's about speed!" Xu Jingming said, thrusting his spear repeatedly, each thrust pursuing speed and the limit of speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The spear tip danced, repeatedly aiming at Gao Chong.

Plop, plop, plop! Xu Jingming's spear repeatedly struck Gao Chong's heavy armor, creating small holes, but it was far from piercing through.

"Try your best to pierce through this heavy armor." Gao Chong joked, his large spear only needing to protect his head, making it relatively easy.

By slightly protecting his head, Gao Chong ignored many of Xu Jingming's spear techniques! He only blocked when they threatened his head, otherwise, he continued to attack.

"Rumble!"

Gao Chong charged forward, attacking wildly, each spear strike causing the surrounding buildings to be damaged.

For many years, he had been accustomed to this fighting style.

Attack, attack, continuous attack! Make the enemy collapse in the tide of attacks, and with one mistake, he, Gao Chong, could crush the enemy! He had won the world's top position with this method, and he believed he could crush Xu Jingming the same way.

Xu Jingming's spear, even when striking the heavy armor, only created small holes. It was far from piercing through the thick armor.

"Find the opportunity."

"The opportunity only comes once, one mistake! Gao Chong will be on guard, and winning will be difficult." Xu Jingming searched for an opportunity while attacking.

"Die!"

Gao Chong, like a giant bear in heavy armor, charged forward like an angry beast, slashing his large spear at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming did not retreat but advanced, taking one step!

Just one step! His body's speed burst, and his spear thrust out, like a unicorn's horn, a middle thrust aimed at Gao Chong's chest.

The ferocity in Gao Chong's eyes swept away. A thrust to the chest? As long as it doesn't threaten the head, it can be ignored—

"Whizz!"

Before Gao Chong's spear could slash down, it was stopped by this thrust. He looked down at his chest, where the spear tip had pierced through the thick armor and into his heart. At that moment, Gao Chong felt all his strength leaving him, and his armor became very heavy.

He looked up at Xu Jingming, who stood there, his feet sinking into the ground from the impact, and bloodstains visible on his hands gripping the spear shaft. Xu Jingming looked at him and smiled, "How about this spear?"

Gao Chong's mouth moved, trying to speak, but his body turned ethereal and dissipated in the small town.
