Chapter 93: The Name on the Cosmos Ranking (Final Chapter of Volume)

Translator: CKtalon

In the virtual world, in Li Miaomiao’s livestream.

Li Miaomiao sat there and said with a smile, “This is my first livestream after the Firestarter Cup ended. As a subst.i.tute member of Team Pearwood and the team manager, and as Captain Xu Jingming’s boss, you can ask me anything you want.”

“Cat is finally live-streaming!”

“Wow, Cat is so domineering now.”

“Cat, can you invite Brother-in-law? We want to see him too!”

“Get Brother-in-law to accept our interview.”

Countless comments appeared.

Li Miaomiao looked at Xu Jingming’s status on her friends list and said helplessly, “I also want to invite him, but he’s too obsessed with martial arts. He practically spends his time in seclusion training after the finals.”

“Brother-in-law sure is hardworking.”

“Brother-in-law sure is hardworking.”

“Brother-in-law sure is hardworking.”

Uniform comments quickly appeared.

“The harder Brother-in-law works, the happier Cat Li will be.”

“Brother-in-law is being worked like a horse. Cat Li won without doing anything.”

“Horse? Why do I feel like you’re saying something dirty…” Soon, the comments went astray.

When Li Miaomiao saw this, she immediately changed the topic. “What does everyone want to know about Team Pearwood for this Firestarter Cup? We needed to keep it a secret in the past, but many things can be made public now.”

“Sister Cat, we want to know if you received any prize money as a key member of the team. Did you get 1%?”

…

While Li Miaomiao was chatting with her fans, Xu Jingming was in the martial arts arena in his personal s.p.a.ce, immersed in his spearmans.h.i.+p.

This is the feeling.

Xu Jingming had practiced his spear since he was a child, after all. Many of his basic moves had already turned into instinct, but now, he was deliberately guiding all his moves to become instinctual. After three hours of deliberate practice, Xu Jingming gradually entered the desired state.

“Send 100 bandits with a basic combat strength of 3,000.” Xu Jingming immediately virtualized his opponents.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Figures appeared like ghosts as they surrounded Xu Jingming from all directions and attacked him; some even used concealed weapons. They were indeed terrifying.

Each of these opponents was quite strong, and with a hundred joining forces, even Xu Jingming and Fang Yu from back in the compet.i.tion would die. However, Xu Jingming had already undergone a transformation.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Xu Jingming brandished his spear, and with a slight tremble, it drew an arc and easily blocked the concealed weapons. As he moved at high speeds, his spear naturally turned into spear afterimages as he finished off the bandits.

This feeling is fantastic. Xu Jingming could even divert his mind elsewhere while he continued killing.

When he saw an enemy, he instinctively executed all kinds of moves. He instinctively knew how to deal with the surrounding enemies!

At this moment, his brain was empty. His brain towered over everything, allowing him to watch the entire battle calmly. His body moved naturally and executed many moves. As such, the combo-ing became much faster.

Master fought me when the virtual world just launched. He was particular about controlling the enemy—it was landing a strike on the enemy before their attack reached him. With a thought, he could execute his move, Xu Jingming thought. And what I now understand from Master’s combat is to grasp the entire situation! It is to attack instinctively without having a particular move in mind! The premise of this combat method is to have extremely good control of the body.

Xu Jingming’s current control of his body could reach this level. Although he was a little raw in terms of practice, he had reached this level overall.

Swis.h.!.+

He swung his spear with his back hand and swept it across the neck of the last bandit behind him.

All the bandits had turned ethereal.

100 bandits with basic combat strength of 3,000 were wiped out just like that.

Xu Jingming thought to himself, Before this, I would be fl.u.s.tered when facing the encirclement of 100 experts. Now that I don’t have any particular moves in mind while grasping the entire situation, I can even calmly a.n.a.lyze how to defeat them one by one and naturally target the flaws of the many enemies. It was a cinch.

It’s time to challenge Cosmos Tower. Xu Jingming’s heart was calm and filled with confidence.

His spearmans.h.i.+p had broken through while fighting his master.

The combat method he had mastered—no particular move in mind while grasping the entire situation—during the review process boosted his strength comprehensively.

Mission s.p.a.ce.

Whoosh.

A stream of light landed in front of the towering Cosmos Tower.

Xu Jingming looked at the huge list in the night sky; then, he walked into the Cosmos Tower and headed for the third floor.

******

Xu Jingming was all too familiar with the dark and humid rainforest on the Cosmos Tower’s third floor. He ran straight for the tiger that had appeared.

The tiger roared in anger and even leaped up in a bid to tear the human in front of it apart with its claws.

Swis.h.!.+

Xu Jingming came close, and with a flash, the spear in his hand trembled before he stabbed out, piercing through the leaping tiger’s neck.

Xu Jingming instantly retracted his spear and left. The tiger turned ethereal and disappeared as it fell.

These ordinary fierce tigers are too large, and only a few of them can only attack me at the same time. They don’t stress me out compared to those bandits with a basic combat strength of 3,000. Xu Jingming was very relaxed. As he advanced, he killed one tiger after another with his spear. Using a spear to deal with tigers was indeed much more convenient than using a sword or saber.

Xu Jingming was different from before. In the past, he immersed his entire self in battle, and he appeared very tense. But his mind was now detached, allowing him to grasp the situation better. All his moves were natural and fluid.

Roar!

The tiger king in the distance finally charged out angrily and led a streak of tigers in an a.s.sault.

Xu Jingming didn’t fight them blindly. Instead, he first used his movement technique and used the ordinary tigers to block him, doing his best to avoid the clash with the tiger king and continue slaughtering the ordinary tigers.

Two minutes later, with the tiger king’s furious roar, the remaining six tigers fled in a panic.

Only Xu Jingming and the tiger king were left in a one-on-one battle.

“There’s only the two of us left.” Xu Jingming was a little excited. Although the tiger king exerted great pressure on him, it wasn’t as strong as his master, Liu Hai.

Roar!

The tiger king lunged forward like a small mountain.

Xu Jingming was all too familiar with the tiger king’s strength. After all, he had fought it too many times. Even though his strength had increased quite a bit, he was still suppressed by the tiger king in terms of physique, strength, speed, agility, and other aspects. He had to use his combat techniques and weapon advantage to have a chance of winning.

The tiger king lunged forward with incomparable agility. It moved even faster than Xu Jingming, and its huge claws were terrifying weapons.

However, Xu Jingming seemed to have become one with his surroundings.

My mind grasps the entire situation, and I can make use of my surroundings. Xu Jingming’s mind was detached from combat, and he was extremely calm. He used every element in the environment and focused on defense. When he found an opportunity, he struck back.

The spear was 2.6 meters long, and it was at least much longer than the tiger king’s claws. With his current strength, even the tiger king would be injured from a single thrust from him.

The two sides fought frantically!

One side was ferocious as it unleashed its body’s advantage—extreme agility and ferocity.

The other party was filled with wisdom and used the environment to leave wounds on the tiger king.

Xu Jingming even made a judgment based on his current combat state. With my stamina, I can keep up a peak-intensity battle for half an hour. I won’t give the tiger king a chance.

Eight minutes later.

The tiger king—who had dozens of spear wounds—was seriously injured, and its claws swiped much slower. Only then did Xu Jingming suddenly pierce through the tiger king’s muscular neck with his spear.

The tiger king howled in pain after the spear was pulled out. It weakly flailed its claws, but it failed to touch Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming held his spear and calmly watched the tiger king collapse and dissipate.

“You have cleared the third level. Prepare to enter the fourth level of the Cosmos Tower.” A beautiful voice sounded in his ears.

Xu Jingming’s body returned to its peak state. The blood on his armor and weapon disappeared, and he became clean.

The scene in front of him changed—

Here comes the fourth floor. Xu Jingming could already see the fourth floor of Cosmos Tower.

…

When it was determined that Xu Jingming had cleared the third level, a new name appeared on the huge list in the night sky outside Cosmos Tower.

World Number One: Liu Hai (China)

World Number Two: Tiger Fussen (USA)

World Number Three: Alan Emelianenko (Russia)

World Number Four: Tejano Xire (Botswana)

World Number Five: Lei Yunfang (China)

World Number Six: Kai Saint Mills (United States of America)

World Number Seven: Riven Gullit (EU)

World Number Eight: Xu Jingming (China)

At this moment, many people around the world saw this new name when they looked up at the Cosmos Ranking. This news immediately proliferated at a terrifying speed, and in a few minutes, it spread across the world.
