Chapter 37

Xu Jingming looked up, gazing at the massive leaderboard that towered several kilometers high, and the single line of text on it.

At this moment, countless people around the world were looking up at this name!

"Global first place!" Xu Jingming looked up, "This isn't the past World Martial Arts Competition, nor any other combat style competition, but a competition where all of Earth's humans are vying... Master actually took the global first place!"

"Master, I know you're strong, but you've really stunned countless people." Xu Jingming smiled, "Global first place, Liu Hai, Xia Country!"

Admiration and reverence shone in Xu Jingming's eyes, along with a sense of longing.

...

In the White Eagle Federation, there was also a person looking up at the massive Star Tower leaderboard, gazing at the only name on it.

"Only 38 minutes after the Star Tower opened, and the senior Liu Hai has already passed the third level?" He was tall and imposing, standing at 1.96 meters, exuding a terrifying presence.

He was one of the 'Three Kings' of the world martial arts, Que*Sheng*Miles, who possessed a body that could be considered monstrous among humans.

"My evolution method has reached the advanced stage, and I can only kill a large tiger in a one-on-one fight relatively easily!" Que*Sheng*Miles looked at the leaderboard in silence, thinking, "When six large tigers attack together, I can barely kill four before being bitten to death by the others! The third level of the Star Tower has dozens of tigers, including the most powerful Tiger King."

"I am still far from success, but Liu Hai has succeeded. This senior from Xia Country is truly impressive." Que*Sheng*Miles, who was highly self-regarding, was genuinely convinced by Liu Hai's achievement of passing the third level in just 38 minutes after the Star Tower opened.

The gap was too large, leaving only admiration.

"My evolution method has reached 32% of the advanced stage, and it cannot be improved in a short time. To pass, I must hone my weapon skills." Que*Sheng*Miles thought, then directly entered the Star Tower to practice his battle axe skills.

...

"Senior Liu Hai from Xia Country has already passed the third level of the Star Tower?" Arlan Emelyanenko, a bald man from Roshcha Country, known for having the most perfect cold weapon skills among humans, also looked up at the only name on the Star Tower leaderboard in silence. "How did he win against a group of tigers? When I killed twelve large tigers, the Tiger King also joined the attack. The Tiger King and the other tigers attacked together, making it impossible to resist, and I was instantly torn apart!"

"I always thought that by compensating for my physical weaknesses, I would completely surpass Que*Sheng*Miles and Lei Yunfang, and I would be the global first on the Star Tower leaderboard."

"Who would have thought that Senior Liu Hai would appear, and in this era, there are really too many experts." Arlan Emelyanenko's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, "But this is the most exciting era. Liu Hai, I will soon surpass you."

...

Liu Hai's name on the Star Tower leaderboard caused a global frenzy.

Top experts around the world looked up at the only name on the leaderboard, all hoping to surpass him one day.

The general public, on the other hand, began their celebrations, especially the people of Xia Country, who felt a great sense of pride. Official media and social media were flooded with news about Liu Hai.

Xu Jingming practiced for five hours and then returned to his personal space to rest.

He opened the viewing platform and randomly clicked on a live stream.

"Everyone around the world is trying to pass the Star Tower, but only one person has passed the third level, and that is our country's Liu Hai!" The broadcaster in the live stream was passionate, "The global first place is ours from Xia Country!"

This live stream had only nine viewers, so Xu Jingming clicked on the second live stream.

It was a female broadcaster.

"Some viewers may not know who Liu Hai is," the female broadcaster smiled, "Let me give you a brief introduction. Liu Hai, in his youth, won the national wrestling championship and showed great talent in wrestling. However, his true passion was weapon combat, which was very niche at the time. Liu Hai funded his own team to compete globally."

As she explained, there were photos of Liu Hai's young wrestling days and his self-funded competitions.

"Later, as Liu Hai grew older, he focused on running his martial arts school. At the age of 45, the World Martial Arts Competition was officially held. Although his physical condition was far from his youth, he was extremely excited and immediately participated in the competition. He won enough points in the preliminary rounds to enter the World Martial Arts Competition. He continued to enter the competition for five consecutive years, and in each of those years, he placed in the top three. After winning first place in the fifth year, he retired and later became the head coach of the national team..."

Xu Jingming smiled and clicked on the third live stream, as he knew more about his master than this female broadcaster.

"Liu Hai, amazing! The best human! I bet that if a Xia Country person took the global first place on the Star Tower leaderboard, I would give out 10,000 red envelopes, each with 10,000 yuan! I will keep my promise! I have already prepared the money, and here is my balance, eight zeros, right? I have prepared 100 million yuan in cash, and I will start giving out red envelopes now! I calculated that I will give out 100 red envelopes every five minutes, which will take about eight hours!" A wealthy broadcaster started the lottery, and the popularity of his live stream quickly soared, ranking third in the viewing platform.

"Generous," Xu Jingming praised and then looked at the next live stream.

"A Xia Country person took first place, and I will complete 100 college entrance exam practice papers! I will keep my promise! This is the second completed paper, and I will now start the third paper!" A high school student, "The entire process will be live-streamed, with no cheating!"

Xu Jingming was amazed.

100 practice papers, so harsh on himself?

"Good job, you will definitely do well in your college entrance exam," Xu Jingming watched one live stream after another.

Ninety percent of the live streams were discussing Liu Hai!

At this moment, Liu Hai became a national hero in Xia Country. After all, countries around the world were vying for the global first place, and the people of Xia Country felt a great sense of pride and excitement after securing it!

"Jingming, are you watching live streams?" Li Miaomiao came over and sat on the sofa, "I just saw your game status, and you were still trying to pass the Star Tower."

"Failed again and again, so I came out to rest for a bit," Xu Jingming said.

"Your master is really impressive, and the entire internet is going crazy," Li Miaomiao said.

"After all, the virtual world game 'Life Evolution' involves people from all over the world. In the past, which sport could have so many people competing so fiercely?" Xu Jingming said, "Master's global first place naturally makes people even more excited. I guess the citizens of the White Eagle Federation, Roman Country, Roshcha Country, and other countries must be feeling quite frustrated."

"Haha, I just logged out and saw the discussions of foreign netizens. Although they admire Liu Hai, they are indeed very frustrated," Li Miaomiao laughed, "After all, each of their countries also has some legendary combat athletes."

"It's been five hours, and no one else in the world has passed the third level of the Star Tower," Xu Jingming sighed, "Master is far ahead of everyone else."

"Jingming, your master is strong," Li Miaomiao encouraged, "But I believe that you will be even stronger in the future! After all, your master has practiced for nearly fifty years more than you."

"Whatever my wife says, I will work hard to achieve it," Xu Jingming clenched his fist.

Li Miaomiao was pleased and her eyes narrowed.

The couple chatted while watching various live streams.

Suddenly, Li Miaomiao saw a live stream change its title and said, "Jingming, it seems there is a global second place now."

"Finally, someone has appeared?" Xu Jingming's heart raced, who could it be?

They immediately went to the mission space and arrived at the Star Tower.

Standing in front of the Star Tower, they looked up at the massive leaderboard.

The massive leaderboard now had two lines of text.

"Global First: Liu Hai (Xia Country)"

"Global Second: Tiger Forsen (White Eagle Federation)"
