Chapter 17 Qualifying Tournament
"I haven't been ranked yet." Xu Jingming explained, "I have been practicing in the martial arts training ground."
"Hard training is important, but fighting for life and death is also important!" Liu Hai asked, "Is your basic combat power enough?"
"Enough." Xu Jingming nodded and looked at his personal combat power panel.
Player : Xu Jingming
Genetic Evolution Method: "Sky Python Evolution Method" (Intermediate 20%) (Practice time 735 days, cannot be upgraded)
Body: 115
Skills: Gunmanship (Level 2 75%), Footwork (Level 2 16%), Shieldmanship (Level 2 62%)
Basic Power: 1380
After all, he had been training in the martial arts training ground for nearly eight hours, and had reached the initial stage of the "Heavenly Python Evolution Method" after practicing it once. Now, he had reached 20% of the intermediate stage. After pushing his body to the limit, he would naturally become more powerful.
After the body evolved, strength, speed, and nerve reactions all underwent transformation, so Xu Jingming also selected sparring partners in the training ground and familiarized himself with his shield and gun skills to ensure that he could fully demonstrate his strength.
"As long as the combat power is sufficient, it's fine." Liu Hai nodded. He also knew that the basic combat power threshold for the god level was 1000, and if one wanted to directly enter the god level through the 'qualification match', the basic combat power needed to reach 1200, which was still very difficult.
"After you retired, you didn't relax your shield skills, right?" Liu Hai asked.
"When I was on the national team, I had many teammates to practice with. After I retired, there were fewer teammates to practice with," Xu Jingming said. "But I still practiced several times a week."
"Practicing shield techniques is very helpful in mastering the strength of the body." Liu Hai said, "This is a lifelong task, so you can't slack off."
"Disciple understands." Xu Jingming said.
I have been practicing spearmanship since I was young. After joining the national team, my master Liu Hai taught me shieldmanship.
Master's shield technique originated from Tai Chi.
"Hurry up and rank them. There are already 31 people who have reached the god level. Our Xia country is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Liu Hai was quite emotional and immediately hung up the phone.
"Already 31 people?" Xu Jingming did not hesitate any longer, clicked on his personal panel, and went directly to the battle space.
…
When you first enter the battle space, it’s all void.
A man in green shirt appeared from the void and said, "Xu Jingming, welcome to the battle space. Your basic combat power has reached 1380, which is more than 20% higher than the basic combat power threshold of 'God Level'. You can directly participate in the 'God Level' qualifying match. Do you want to participate in the qualifying match?"
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded.
"The battle space is divided into five environments. They are small town, mountain forest, city, snowfield, and ancient battlefield. Please choose one of them as your qualifying match venue."
Xu Jingming thought for a moment and said, "Mountain forest!"
"Please choose your equipment." The man in green said, "You can only carry two weapons, and you cannot have any protective equipment on your head."
"The head is the only thing on the body that must be exposed?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Yes, even if you are wearing heavy armor, your head must be exposed." The man in green nodded, "This is the rule set by the virtual world game, so in battle, the head will be the most vulnerable part. You must protect it carefully."
Xu Jingming nodded.
He tapped lightly and began to select equipment. He had tried it many times in the training ground, so he was very skilled.
"A set of light protective armor that fits close to the body without affecting movements." Xu Jingming selected the body equipment. After selecting it, he was wearing a set of dark red protective armor and a pair of light and sturdy boots.
"Double shields, each with a diameter of 60 centimeters, are relatively light shields." Xu Jingming put the double shields on his back and reached out to choose a spear.
"The spear weighs 36 kilograms and is quite handy." Xu Jingming held the spear.
Full body equipment, a set of close-fitting light armor including boots, weighs 55 kilograms. The double shield weighs 30 kilograms, and the spear weighs 36 kilograms. For Xu Jingming, whose body index reaches 115, it is indeed a relatively light equipment. Those heavy armors weigh hundreds of kilograms, and of course the defensive effect is much stronger. Those who practice "Black Turtle Evolution Method" and "Giant Bear Evolution Method" are more suitable to choose that kind of heavy armor.
"The qualifying match, let's begin." Xu Jingming clicked the ready button, and suddenly five maps appeared in the void in front of him, and then he fell directly to the 'forest' map.
…
The forest and the mountain roads are muddy after the rain.
Xu Jingming descended from nothingness, stepped on the muddy ground, and looked around.
There were weeds under a big tree in the distance. A sloppy man was sitting cross-legged on the clean weeds with a sword on his waist. When Xu Jingming appeared, the sloppy man looked up.
"Here comes another one who is not afraid of death ." The sloppy man muttered to himself, chuckled, and slowly stood up.
"Commoner, only has a sword?" Xu Jingming observed his opponent. "He is wearing cloth, but I am wearing armor. I have a great advantage over the sword with a spear. He is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of external equipment, but his own strength may be very strong."
If you are weak and your equipment is weak, then it will be too unchallenging.
"Since you're here to die, I'll give you a ride." The sloppy man moved, his body became blurred, and he rushed straight towards Xu Jingming at an extremely fast speed.
Xu Jingming stood there, waiting calmly.
The distance is getting closer!
Xu Jingming held the gun handle with his left hand and the waist of the gun with his right hand, and was about to attack.
"Huh." The moment the sloppy man approached, his figure twisted strangely and his sword flashed.
Bang.
The long sword hit Xu Jingming's spear, but this spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea. It shook slightly, and the spear shaft hit the sword with terrifying force, causing the sloppy man to fly backwards. He tapped the tree trunk next to him with his foot, turned over, and landed far away. His hand holding the sword trembled.
"So fast, and so agile." Xu Jingming looked at the man, "My agility is not as good as his."
The sloppy man stared at Xu Jingming and slowly approached him again.
He also wanted to kill with a sword, but with a three-foot sword and his arm, he had to get close enough to stab Xu Jingming. But Xu Jingming's spear was two meters and six meters long, and the sloppy man had not yet closed his attack distance, but had already reached Xu Jingming's attack range! This is the advantage of weapons! Just now, the sloppy man was also forced to attack Xu Jingming's spear.
You must first split the spear before you can get close.
call.
The slovenly man approached again.
“Ding ding ding.”
He circled around Xu Jingming, moving at high speed, stabbing him with lightning speed again and again, colliding with Xu Jingming's spear, looking for a good opportunity.
"His agility is better than mine, and his swordsmanship is pretty good, but his equipment is too poor." Xu Jingming understood this, "The normal way to kill the enemy is to rely on the advantage of equipment to kill him. But... there is no need."
When the sloppy man once again patiently tested and looked for a good opportunity.
Xu Jingming moved the spear in his hand.
"hiss!"
A strange whistling sound of the wind.
A blurry gun shadow tore through the air, even forming an air wave. The tip of the gun was already in front of the sloppy man. The sloppy man panicked and swung his sword to block, but it missed. There was a hole in his throat, and the tip of the gun was even retracted.
The slovenly man covered his throat and fell down.
"This is my ultimate move, 'Shadowless Stab'. Once you enter my attack range, you won't have time to block it." Xu Jingming said silently, "Your body movement speed is faster than mine, but not as fast as my gun."
After killing the sloppy man, the world of the forest after the rain began to dissipate, and Xu Jingming also returned to the land of nothingness.
In the void, a slow-motion scene of killing appeared in mid-air: Xu Jingming's spear tore through the air so fast that the air waves were divided to both sides, and the tip of the spear pierced the sloppy man's neck. The sloppy man's sword was only halfway swung and was obviously much slower.
Battle score: 98 points.
Level: One star god level.
And Xu Jingming's personal combat power panel also appeared on the side——
Player: Xu Jingming
Genetic Evolution Method: "Sky Python Evolution Method" (Intermediate 20%) (Practice time 735 days, cannot be upgraded)
Body: 115
Skills: Gunmanship (Level 2 75%), Footwork (Level 2 16%), Shieldmanship (Level 2 62%)
Basic Power: 1380
Combat bonus: 20%
Power: 1656
"More combat bonus? More combat power?" Xu Jingming understood. "No wonder it was called basic combat power before. With the combat bonus, it is considered complete combat power."
"Yes, it is also very important to grasp the timing during a fight and make use of various factors." Xu Jingming knew it very well.
"Congratulations, you passed the qualifying match with almost full marks." The man in green said with a smile, "I also want to tell you a piece of news. As of now, the virtual world game has been open for 8 hours and 36 minutes, and there are 32 god-level players in Xia Country."
Xu Jingming nodded. There were many people who were faster than him. The land of Xia was indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Do you want to start the battle?" the man in green asked. "In the battle space, players form a team of five and fight with five other people in one of the following environments: mountains, snow, cities, small towns, or ancient battlefields.
“When playing a game, you can queue up alone and let the game assign you four teammates. You can also invite your friends to form a team and then play against each other.”
"Queueing alone?" Xu Jingming was puzzled. "Queueing?"
"Yes, there are only 32 god-level players now. Some are in the training ground, some are watching the live broadcast, and some have chosen to queue up and then withdraw. It may take some time to gather ten people to form a team." The man in green shirt explained, "It's the first day of the game, there are too few god-level players, and the queue is very slow. Wait for ten days or half a month, and the queue will be much faster."
"Then let's start lining up." Xu Jingming's eyes were filled with anticipation. "Nowadays, those who can become god-level are not ordinary masters."
Xu Jingming clicked the battle button.
A prompt appeared - "Six people are ready..."
"There are six people in line right now." The man in green said, "The battle will start when there are ten people."
"How long do you estimate it will take?" Xu Jingming asked.
"It may take some time. The longest queue among these six people has been two hours." The man in green said, "There were people queuing earlier, but the queues have been cancelled. You can go to the martial arts training ground, watch the live broadcast, or even go offline while queuing! Once ten people are gathered, we will send you a notification immediately! Just go online within three minutes."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly, "Then let's line up."
"Once this battle begins, it will be Xia Country's first god-level battle." said the man in green.
"Xia Country's first god-level battle?" Xu Jingming thought thoughtfully.
