Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 37: Listed
The third floor of the Star Tower is a tropical rain forest.
Xu Jingming observed carefully. The rainforest was dark and humid, with thick trees and vines growing wildly. It was completely silent, as if there were no other living creatures.
"Hmm?" Xu Jingming suddenly felt a pair of dark yellow eyes in the distance. He shuddered and looked carefully.
In the distance, a large cat was staring at this place. It had light yellow hair and black horizontal stripes on its body. Its huge head and dark yellow eyes seemed to be without any emotion, examining the prey in front of it. Above its eyes, there were thick black lines outlining the word "king". It was two meters tall at the shoulder and six meters long. Its huge size made Xu Jingming nervous.
"What a fierce tiger! It's slightly smaller than the bear king, but its deterrent power seems even more terrifying." Xu Jingming was very alert.
If bears are strong in terms of physical strength, tigers are the representatives of all-round strength! Physical strength, strength, speed, flexibility, attack, skills... all aspects are strong. The huge tiger virtualized by the virtual world "Starry Sky Tower" is far beyond the real tiger. With Xu Jingming's current strength, if it is a real tiger, it is one shot one, one person can kill a group of tigers, but facing this large tiger in front of him, he feels the threat of death.
The large tiger strode over. It walked very gracefully, without making any sound, and its four huge paw pads stepped gently on the ground as it observed the prey in front of it.
“Whoosh!”
Xu Jingming rushed forward with a spear in hand.
The tiger felt offended when seeing this, and roared and pounced forward to kill.
A man and a tiger, with a huge difference in size, both charged at each other head-on!
At the moment of approaching, Xu Jingming stepped on a big tree, suddenly changed direction, and abruptly stabbed the tiger with a spear. The long spear turned into an afterimage and stabbed the tiger's neck.
"puff."
The tiger had a cold look in its eyes and slapped the spear with its claws.
Boom! Xu Jingming only felt a terrifying force coming over him, and was shaken so much that he rolled and crawled onto the big tree.
"It's too flexible and its reactions are terrifyingly fast." Xu Jingming had a headache.
whoosh.
The tiger instantly jumped up a big tree and continued to chase Xu Jingming.
"clang."
"puff."
Xu Jingming was being chased and kept dodging and running away. Even when he finally found an opportunity to counterattack, the tiger easily blocked it.
"Why do I feel that, regardless of its physique, strength and speed, this tiger is more agile than me?" Xu Jingming was able to delay the tiger by relying on his small size, the rainforest environment and a spear to threaten the tiger.
But when the chase lasted for five minutes.
"Huh?" Xu Jingming's face changed.
Huge tigers appeared one after another in the forest in all directions. The smaller ones were five meters long, and the largest ones were more than seven meters long. The largest tiger stayed where it was, and the others slowly approached.
"On the third floor of the Starry Sky Tower, we have to deal with so many tigers?" Xu Jingming was a little confused. "We can't even defeat an ordinary large tiger, let alone dozens of them."
As the tiger pack approached, six large tigers suddenly pounced at the same time.
Xu Jingming rushed forward and took the initiative to face a tiger.
"Roar!" The tiger roared and stretched out its claws towards Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming was extremely brave. Relying on the advantage of the length of his spear, he pierced the tiger's neck with the spear just as the tiger's claws were about to fall.
"Break the mountain!"
The most powerful spear move, the spear pierced most of the tiger's neck, but the tiger's claws fell down by inertia, scratching and tearing Xu Jingming's armor and body.
The bodies of the big tiger and Xu Jingming disappeared, and the other five tigers rushed to the front and roared.
“It’s really difficult.”
After Xu Jingming failed, he appeared outside the Starry Sky Tower. "Trading my life for another's, I can only kill a tiger. And I only pierced most of the tiger's neck with 'Breaking the Mountain'. If I use 'Shadowless Stab', I'm afraid it will be useless."
…
Observation platform.
Li Miaomiao was sitting in the stands, watching the live broadcast of a god-level master breaking into the second level of the Star Tower.
"Miao Miao." Xu Jingming appeared at the side. "Are you watching the live broadcast?"
"Um."
Li Miaomiao nodded. "The Starry Sky Tower is too difficult. I can still fight two or three of those wild wolves, but I can't fight them when more than a hundred of them come to besiege me. I can't even get through the first floor. Sigh... Look, this is Sun Yuting's live broadcast. She is trying to get through the second floor of the Starry Sky Tower. After killing five big bears with great difficulty, she encounters this bear king. It seems that she can't defeat him."
Xu Jingming looked over.
In the live broadcast scene, the huge bear king was chasing Sun Yuting. Sun Yuting had excellent footwork and kept dodging with the help of the mountains and forests. Her shield had been thrown far away, her left arm was drooping, and the only weapon left was a sword in her right hand.
"Sun Yuting is also ranked 16th in the Xia Kingdom ranking set by Wang Xiangu. Now there are nearly 800 god-level masters in Xia Kingdom. Sun Yuting is definitely at the top level among the god-level masters!" Li Miaomiao said.
Xu Jingming nodded.
The virtual world has been open for more than seven days. With a population of more than one billion, Xia Country now has nearly 800 God-level players. For example, the first and second teams of the national team for nearly 30 years have more than 300 men and women in total. There are also many professional players who have participated in A-level and B-level competitions, masters of other fighting schools, and folk masters. In more than seven days, there are nearly 800 God-level players, which is also within Xu Jingming's expectations.
"Sun Yuting's combination of shield and sword, attack and defense, is absolutely amazing. But when she met the bear king, her shield was useless...it even affected her body movement! The bear king slapped her shield away with one slap, and even broke her arm bones. With just a one-handed sword, she couldn't break the bear king's skin! When she killed five big bears before, she was able to pierce their eyes and heads. This bear king is obviously faster and more flexible, and she can't get close at all."
"Even if we can get close, it's hard to stab the eyes." Xu Jingming commented, "Even if we stab the eyes, it's unlikely to penetrate the skull."
He used the Shadowless Stab and stabbed the spear into his eyes, but it couldn't go deeper.
"The bear king is too fast."
During the live broadcast, Sun Yuting, who was running for her life, made a voice call that could be heard by all the viewers, "The fur is ridiculously thick. My sword can't penetrate its fur and fat at all. I can't cause any harm to it! My injuries are quite serious. I can't bear it anymore."
A large tree was smashed by the bear king, and the broken wood hit Sun Yuting. Sun Yuting dodged in a panic and immediately clicked the exit button. Her body could not hold on any longer.
"There are many god-level masters in the live broadcast, but not a single one has made it to the third level of the Starry Sky Tower." Li Miaomiao browsed other live broadcast rooms, "Many god-level masters can't even defeat five giant bears. Only the top-ranked ones in Xia Country can fight the Bear King."
"Many god-level masters only reach the god-level after reaching 50 stars in the Sun-level. Their basic combat power may be just over 1,000." Xu Jingming said, "It is indeed difficult to deal with a big bear. By the way, how many people have fought against the bear king?"
"Sun Yuting, Zhang Qian, Fang Yu, Niu Hao, there are only four god-level masters in the live broadcast, all of whom are god-level masters in Xia Country who are ranked in the top 50." Li Miaomiao said, "They have fought against the Bear King, but they all lost. The Bear King is too unstoppable. His defense is ridiculously strong, his speed is fast, and his strength is incredible."
Xu Jingming nodded: "The Bear King is very strong."
"Jingming, what about you?" Li Miaomiao asked.
"I made it to the third floor of the Star Tower, but failed." Xu Jingming said.
"You killed the bear king?" Li Miaomiao was surprised and happy. "The bear king was such a monster, how did you kill him?"
"I fought with it for 18 minutes, and the bear king bled to death." Xu Jingming also sighed, "Its hide was too thick, and I couldn't kill it with one shot. I could only let it bleed continuously."
Li Miaomiao's eyes lit up: "As expected of my Jingming, amazing! Tell me, what is the third floor of the Starry Sky Tower?"
"tiger."
Xu Jingming said, "A tiger more powerful than the bear king."
"More powerful than the Bear King?" Li Miaomiao was surprised.
"And there are dozens of them." Xu Jingming shook his head. "There is no way to fight with dozens of large tigers besieging us together. The gap is too big."
Li Miaomiao was shocked when she heard this: "No wonder the Blue Star Alliance set a rule that there is a bonus for those who pass the third level, and there is no time limit... According to what you said, it may take a long time for a total of 100 people in the world to pass the third level."
"Hmm?" Li Miaomiao noticed that something was wrong with the many live broadcast rooms on the viewing platform. She had been studying the viewing platform for a long time, and with a quick glance she discovered that some anchors had even changed the names of their live broadcast rooms.
"Jingming, hurry to the mission space." Li Miaomiao said.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jingming hadn't noticed it yet, after all, there were too many live broadcast rooms.
"The world's number one is born." Li Miaomiao urged, and at the same time she nodded and went to the mission space immediately.
…
Task space.
call.
Xu Jingming descended from a high altitude and landed in front of the Star Tower.
Next to the Starry Sky Tower, a huge list appeared in the night sky, hanging high in the sky, as high as the Starry Sky Tower.
Now there is only one line of words on this huge list - "World No. 1: Liu Hai (Xia Guo)"
