Chapter 75

Heng Fang and Yang Qingshuo stood at another part of the ancient battlefield, not interfering with the battle. At this moment, when they saw Xu Jingming discard his shield and take out the long spear, both of them became excited.

"Xu's spear skills are much stronger than his shield skills. Even before the competition, they were already at the third level," Yang Qingshuo said with great anticipation.

Heng Fang's eyes also burned with excitement: "This is the first time Lao Xu has used his spear skills in this competition!"

...

Xu Jingming held the long spear in his hand, feeling a sense of inner peace. Since he was young, he had held the spear, practicing the Six Harmony Great Spear, repeatedly practicing thrusting and blocking, day after day, year after year. He became famous nationwide with a long spear during his youth and teenage years, becoming a national team mainstay at eighteen and reaching the highest stage at twenty.

Even after his leg was broken and his future destroyed, he never gave up on the long spear and even developed stronger spear skills. After several years, he made a comeback, and the entire martial arts world acknowledged that his spear skills were among the top ten in history.

Over the years, the feeling of the spear in his palm had deeply ingrained itself into his soul.

He always regretted that in real competitions, the spear tip was spherical and had a cushioning isolation layer to protect the contestants during the match.

With the arrival of the virtual world, he truly felt the sensation of a single spear killing an enemy.

"Putting on a show!" Fang Yu, clad in heavy black armor, held a city-breaking halberd and stared at Xu Jingming. "Xu Jingming, discarding your shield is the most foolish thing you've done in this battle! The shield is good for defense, allowing you to easily block my halberd! Using a long spear, you will find it ten times harder to block my halberd. We both use long weapons, and my halberd is 3.2 meters long, much longer than yours. An inch longer, an inch stronger! You can't be unaware of this basic principle, right?"

Fang Yu was actually somewhat uneasy, so he used words to provoke Xu Jingming, trying to gauge his true strength.

"Then let's see," Xu Jingming said as his figure moved.

Whoosh.

As soon as he moved, his figure became blurry, rushing straight toward Fang Yu.

Fang Yu stood in place, fully focused on the confrontation.

"Whoosh."

The distance between Xu Jingming and Fang Yu suddenly narrowed. The 60-centimeter length advantage of the weapon, at the speed of Xu Jingming and Fang Yu, was a matter of a split second. If it were Lei Yunfang, the world's top in movement techniques, he might have seized that split second. But Fang Yu had no time to react.

"Whoosh." The figure arrived, and the spear emerged like a dragon!

The long spear spun and was already in close range.

Fang Yu hurriedly raised his city-breaking halberd. Clang! He barely blocked the spear with the rear half of the halberd's long shaft, making his heart tighten: "How could it be so fast?"

"After breaking through in movement techniques, my entire body is much more agile. With a single thought, the power starts from my feet, making the spear thrust even more rapid," Xu Jingming rejoiced. "Even a casual thrust is already a threat to Fang Yu."

This was the first time he used his spear skills in the Seed Cup competition!

It was also the first time after breaking through in movement techniques, and Xu Jingming felt a sense of exhilaration.

"Boom!"

Just as Fang Yu blocked the thrust, Xu Jingming's footwork moved, and the long spear reversed, delivering a ferocious slash. At this terrifying speed, the spear shaft curved, and the slash was like an axe, the spear blade chopping down!

"Clang!" Fang Yu's city-breaking halberd immediately intercepted, but the terrifying explosive power made Fang Yu's body shake and retreat a step.

They say the slash is ferocious, but Fang Yu, with a 103% fit in his evolution technique, had a significant physical advantage and was still being suppressed. This only proved one thing: Xu Jingming's body power techniques were too strong.

Even with ordinary physical attributes, he could still unleash terrifying power and speed.

"Whoosh. Boom. Swoosh. Rip! Whoosh!"

One technique after another, the sounds of the spear tearing through the air were different.

Whether it was a piercing technique, a powerful tear, or a sudden burst, they all had one common point: they were continuous, one after another! Xu Jingming used his footwork to leverage the recoil from each weapon collision, using force to counter force, one spear after another!

This was the most familiar way Xu Jingming used his spear.

After his leg injury and his second appearance in the world martial arts competition, he was known for his ferocity. This was because of his leg injury, which made his footwork too weak, forcing him to choose this fighting style.

Footwork, at least, could determine half of one's strength, which was no exaggeration.

"Feels great." Xu Jingming felt extremely exhilarated, and the surrounding hundred-meter range was like a vast domain. He could clearly control every inch. Through spatial control, Fang Yu was as if trapped in a spatial cage, with no way to escape.

Want to get close, get close; want to stay far, stay far! Only he could attack Fang Yu; Fang Yu couldn't threaten Xu Jingming at all.

This was also why Xu Jingming always chose light armor; he placed great importance on movement techniques.

...

In the live broadcast stands, the Uling Team's Liu Jianfeng and others had solemn expressions.

"Little Fang Yu is in trouble," Liu Jianfeng frowned, watching. "Xu Jingming's movement techniques are too advantageous; he has completely mastered the spatial advantage. He can attack when he wants to and retreat when he wants to. The initiative is entirely in Xu Jingming's hands."

"Yu's halberd techniques, inspired by the Black Water, are continuous and should not be easily broken," Fang Yu's father couldn't help but say.

"It's useless; Xu Jingming's spear techniques are like thunder, known for their speed," Liu Jianfeng said. "When speed reaches a certain level, no continuous techniques are useful. Because the opponent isn't trying to engage in a prolonged battle; it's a fatal strike at the limit of speed. If you can block it, you live; if you can't, you die!"

"Xu Jingming is most famous for the Shadow Thrust, but in the past, it didn't seem as threatening."

"At that time, Xu Jingming hadn't broken through to the third level."

"With high-level evolution techniques and third-level spear skills, the Shadow Thrust is definitely much more terrifying."

They all had serious expressions, sensing the unfavorable situation.

...

Fang Yu, who was fighting Xu Jingming, felt it most strongly.

"It's too difficult," Fang Yu felt some pain, sensing that Xu Jingming was like a spider controlling a web, and he was the insect trapped in it, unable to advance or escape.

Wearing heavy armor and wielding a large halberd, he felt increasingly clumsy.

"If my footwork could break through to the third level, with my physical attributes, he wouldn't be able to suppress me," Fang Yu felt very painful, but he hadn't reached that level yet.

He could only do his best to wield the large halberd, trying to defend against Xu Jingming's continuous attacks.

Xu Jingming attacked with dozens of spears, and his footwork and spear skills worked together more perfectly and smoothly, making the fight very exhilarating.

"Boom." With a slash, Xu Jingming's city-breaking halberd shook slightly, and his hands holding the long spear suddenly became blurry.

Pfft!

The long spear also became blurry and returned to its original position, as if nothing had moved.

Spear technique, Shadow Thrust!

Xu Jingming looked at the opposite side, where Fang Yu held the city-breaking halberd. A hole had appeared in his throat, and his body began to become ethereal. Fang Yu stared at Xu Jingming, trying to remember this opponent.

This battle, he was defeated very badly.

As Fang Yu turned ethereal and disappeared from the battlefield, Xu Jingming smiled, turned to look at Heng Fang and Yang Qingshuo in the distance, and shouted with a smile: "I won!"

"Brother Xu, awesome!" Yang Qingshuo jumped up.

"Old Xu, 666!" Heng Fang laughed loudly.

Amidst the laughter, Xu Jingming, Heng Fang, and Yang Qingshuo also turned ethereal, and the entire battlefield map dissipated.

The Limu Team won, becoming the last team to reach the semi-finals!
