Chapter 3 Life in the Starry Sky Chapter 28 Xu Jingming Appears
" Today, four groups of players competed, totaling 24 matches." The female host in the official live broadcast room of the virtual world was in high spirits. "A total of eight players were selected: Tu Ling, Riven Gullit, Tijanos Sire, Mikic, Liu Hai, Alex, Madeline Logan, and Japruov. They will also enter the next round of eliminations."
"Liu Hai!"
"Riven Gullit!"
“Alex!”
There were still as many as 5.5 billion spectators in the stands, and the cheers were like a landslide and tsunami, all cheering for their country's peerless masters.
It was a great achievement to be able to enter the finals , but only 16 people could enter the knockout rounds! The difficulty was much higher than the finals, and most of those who could enter the knockout rounds came from several major countries.
For example, Xia, Rome, and the White Eagle Federation, big countries have larger populations and more cultivated resources. There are only a handful of masters from small countries in the top sixteen, and their citizens are more enthusiastic in their support.
"Almost all of these eight masters are from big countries." Li Miaomiao sighed, "Only Alex is from the Amazon Federal Republic in South America. The Amazon Federal Republic also has a population of 200 million, but it is the weakest country among the eight contestants and has the smallest population."
"You forgot to count Tiyanuo." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"oh."
Li Miaomiao was stunned. "Yes, Ti Yanuo is the weakest in his hometown. He is too strong and famous. I subconsciously think his hometown is very strong."
"He is very strong." Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "After watching the first four matches, Tiyanuo, Master Liu Hai and Madeline Logan, all three of them are very strong."
"Are you not sure?" Li Miaomiao asked.
"Not sure." Xu Jingming shook his head and stood up. "I'm going to practice."
Even during the competition stage, you still have to practice as usual and don't slack off at all.
…
The next day, June 3rd, the next four groups of matches began at 9 pm, and many high-ranking figures from Blue Star came to watch.
The fifth group match.
"Yesha!"
"Yesha!"
Countless people cheered.
Yesharova has an extraordinary temperament and her appearance seems to be the creation of heaven and earth. Under the natural light, her skin is crystal clear and seems to emit light. When she wears silver-white armor and holds a bow and arrow, she really looks like an angel descending. Not to mention that her strength is also terrifyingly strong!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In the fifth group, she shot three arrows in each of her three matches, each one stronger than the last! The third arrow would definitely kill the opponent, who would feel suffocated in front of the arrows as if they were trapped in a spider web and unable to escape.
"Yesharova is pretty good. She puts enough pressure on every opponent." Director Zhou and other Blue Star executives nodded in satisfaction. "Madeline Logan was too ruthless. She showed no mercy to the fourth-level extreme."
The top leaders of Blue Star were helpless, because after so many years of secret small-scale training, there were barely more than ten people who reached the fifth level. Some of them were so strong that they had reached the high level of the fifth level and became citizens of the universe, and were not suitable to participate in the competition again.
The ones who stayed at the beginning of the fifth stage and had the right strength were Yesharova and Madeline Logan. These masters had their own temperaments and were destined to be citizens of the universe, so the Blue Star Alliance had to give them some respect.
"Yesharova will definitely be the first of the two spots in Group Five," Li Miaomiao watched nervously. "Zhao Fan and Merritt are competing for the second spot. Whoever can beat the other will get the spot."
In the fifth group, the battle between Zhao Fan and Merit, the people of Xia and Rome were also extremely nervous and looking forward to it.
"Zhao Fan, if you dare to lose, I'll make you kneel on the washboard when you get home!"
"Zhao Fan, you win, I will give birth to a baby for you."
"The above is all a dream. I declare my sovereignty. Zhao Fan and I have already obtained the marriage certificate."
"Merritt, I love you."
"Merritt, you are the God of War."
…
Countless comments were rolling. Zhao Fan and Merritt were both extremely popular in their respective countries. Zhao Fan was only 19 years old this year, and looked a little immature and handsome. He only started practicing martial arts after the virtual world was opened, and he became a world-class master. He was simply a child of destiny! He had countless fans...
The same goes for Merritt, who was young, handsome, and extremely talented, and made countless Roman women obsessed with him.
A clash of two peerless geniuses.
One of them wields a crescent-shaped sword, and is known for his ferocity and tyranny.
The other one used two swords. Merritt's sword was a Western dagger. Its usage was slightly different from that of an Eastern sword, and it was also much heavier.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than three minutes, and Zhao Fanqi lost the game by one move.
"Ah, lost." Li Miaomiao shook his head.
"Zhao Fan's crescent-shaped sword attacks fiercely and unstoppably." Xu Jingming shook his head, "But Merritt's dual sword technique is both offensive and defensive, and he is better at defense. In a protracted battle, Merritt will naturally have the advantage."
In the end, Yesharova and Merritt won the top two in the fifth group.
Countless people in the Xia Kingdom were disappointed, while the people in Rome were cheering.
"The next person to appear is Xu Jingming."
"Xu Jingming is about to appear."
"Xu Jingming from our Xia country."
The people of Xia soon became excited. Xu Jingming's influence in the world was much greater. Seven months ago, he was recognized as one of the three strongest people in the world. How strong is he now? This is a mystery.
"Xu Jingming from Group 6 is a strong contender for the championship of this competition." The female host introduced, and the cheers of countless audiences in the stands became louder. Xu Jingming has many fans all over the world.
Most people around the world have seen and learned his Nine Martial Arts Lessons.
"In last year's Budokan total points ranking, Xu Jingming was ranked first in the world." The female host continued, "I remember when the virtual world was first opened, his strength was much weaker than Liu Hai and Tijano Sire, but he soon caught up with the two. And today, seven months later... How strong is Xu Jingming? Today's competition will show his true strength."
"In this competition, my favorites are still Liu Hai, Ti Yanuo and Xu Jingming. The first two had already made their moves yesterday, and we will see Xu Jingming today," said male guest Owen.
"Xu Jingming is my favorite martial arts master." Female guest Annie's eyes lit up as she looked at Xu Jingming who had already appeared on the battle map.
"I have always been a fanatical fan of Xu Jingming." Jin Fan said with a smile, "The competition has begun. Xu Jingming's first match in the World Martial Arts Competition is against Zhou Yi, who is also from Xia Country."
Modern city map.
Xu Jingming was standing on the street wearing dark red armor and holding a black spear.
He didn't bring a shield! Since it was a one-on-one match, he could only use his spear to exert his strongest strength. Although his opponent might be weak... but he would not take any match of the World Martial Arts Tournament lightly.
"Xu Jingming." Zhou Yi jumped down from a tall building in the distance and landed on the street with a bang. The ground even shook. Zhou Yi looked at Xu Jingming from afar.
"I know I'm no match for you." Zhou Yi said solemnly, "But I will do my best to show my strongest archery skills."
"I am also looking forward to your archery skills." Xu Jingming smiled. He even looked forward to these opponents' breakthroughs. Blue Star was his hometown! He also hoped that the Blue Star civilization would produce more and more space citizens.
Zhou Yi nodded, and immediately ran towards Xu Jingming with a bow and arrow. He knew very well that only by getting close and shooting arrows at close range could he pose a slight threat to Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming stood where he was and allowed the other party to approach.
Zhou Yi rushed until he was twenty meters away and then suddenly shot the arrow.
"I can't get any closer. If I get any closer, he can kill me with one step." Zhou Yi understood this. "Even 20 meters away is dangerous, but... I have no choice! No matter how far away, my arrows will not pose any threat at all."
Zhou Yi instantly took out three arrows from his quiver, held the three arrows between his five fingers, and placed them on the bowstring at the same time. He drew the bow and shot the arrows, as fast as lightning. The speed of each of the three arrows shot out at the same time exceeded 2,000 meters per second.
He was good at rapid-fire bows and arrows, and he brought two quivers with sixty arrows in total.
In the entire Blue Star, Zhou Yi is the one who has the highest achievement in "bow and arrow rapid shooting". Although Yesharova is also good at archery and has reached the fifth level, Yesharova's expertise is completely different from Zhou Yi's. Yesharova is better at bringing the "power of one arrow" to the extreme, while Zhou Yi is the most amazing in rapid shooting.
After shooting three arrows at the same time, he did not stop at all and shot three more arrows, and three more arrows!
For a moment, arrows whizzed in one after another.
"Dang." Xu Jingming stood in place, pointed his spear in one hand, and hit the arrowhead that was shot at him. The spear naturally turned and hit the other two arrows as well. The arrow shafts shattered and the arrowheads twisted and flew away.
