Chapter 3 Life in the Starry Sky Chapter 31: Increasing Difficulty
After Xu Jingming appeared, countless audiences cheered for him. Since the opening of the virtual world, Xu Jingming's fame has continued to rise! At this moment, not only the people of Xia, but also other countries in the world have a large number of Xu Jingming fans. They enthusiastically support Xu Jingming, and many even believe that according to the growth rate, Xu Jingming should have surpassed Liu Hai and Ti Yanuo.
"Xu Jingming." Merritt said solemnly, "I know I am no match for you , but I will try my best."
"I'm looking forward to your swordsmanship." Xu Jingming said with a smile. He was kind to every Blue Star master because they would be his companions when he stepped into the vast starry sky in the future.
Merritt rushed forward quickly with two swords in hand. His footwork changed as he rushed forward, and his sprint route was a strange curve. He was close to the enemy in an instant.
"clang."
Xu Jingming held the gun in one hand, and as he thrust the spear forward, it hit Merritt's sword. The force was transmitted through the weapon, affecting Merritt's body movements.
Every time, it was just a light touch! No matter how good Merritt's footwork was, he couldn't get close at all, and was hit by the tip of the gun every time.
Nine shots were fired in succession, and the suppression became stronger and stronger.
"My swordsmanship is too slow. Xu Jingming always stabbed with the tip of his spear instead of blocking, grabbing, and collapsing." Merritt also felt like he was about to suffocate. "My swordsmanship must be faster, faster, and faster!"
The pressure brought by Xu Jingming was increasing. He stabbed with one hand each time. The sixteenth shot finally pierced Merritt's chest.
“I lost.”
At this moment, Merritt felt relieved.
I accepted the defeat sincerely.
"Thank you." Merritt felt like he had been baptized.
Xu Jingming nodded slightly, and at the same time secretly sighed. He was trying his best to sharpen his opponent and constantly increase the pressure on him, but obviously... it was too difficult for his opponent to break through to the fifth level.
"Did you see that?" Male guest Owen pointed at the slow-motion battle scene. "Since Xu Jingming fired his gun, he fired a total of 16 shots in a row, but he didn't move a step and just stood there! He stood there, and the attack range of the spear was limited. But the weird thing is... Merritt didn't leave the attack range of the spear. In fact, he only needed to take two steps back to retreat."
"He couldn't retreat." Male guest Jin Fan shook his head. "Look carefully, every time he was stabbed by the spear, Merritt's body trembled slightly. It was obvious that there was a force affecting his whole body. He didn't have time to retreat before the second shot came! Xu Jingming's pressure was too strong... and each shot also affected Merritt's body. It's not that Merritt didn't want to retreat, but he couldn't retreat. His body was controlled by the entire battle."
"Under control?" The female host and two other guests observed carefully and also discovered this.
…
"Control the opponent's body? Jingming has also learned this trick?" Liu Hai watched this scene with a smile. Of course, this was something he could do when he was at the fourth level. Now his realm is even higher.
"The whole fight was done with a single bayonet, relying on the bayonet to control the opponent?" Tijano looked at him in amazement. "I can't even control the power to this extent, but that's not what I'm good at either. Compared to Riven Gullit... Xu Jingming is much stronger. This is an exciting opponent, I can't wait!"
…
Xu Jingming's suppression and control power were not surprising to the more than 5 billion viewers in the live broadcast room! In the eyes of people around the world, Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, and Ti Yanuo should have been far ahead of others, and it was normal for them to use any incredible fighting moves.
"The seventh match is between Haru Singh from Tianzhu and Fang Yu from Xia." The female host introduced.
"call out."
Haru Singh's scimitar swept across Fang Yu's chest.
The battle is over.
Fang Yu, who was still at the fourth level limit, had a high , but he was powerless to fight back when he met Haru Singh, who had reached the fifth level. Haru Singh struck out three times, and the third strike killed Fang Yu.
"Looking around the world, there are still many people who are stronger than me." Fang Yu was not discouraged. Instead, he felt that there were many goals he needed to surpass. "Compared with Haru Singh, my spiritual will should be weaker. I need to continue to hone my skills."
"Haru."
"Haru."
"Haru."
Countless people in India cheered in unison. For a moment, the word "Haru" swept the entire official live broadcast room. Haru Singh was the only master from India who entered the top eight. The people of India now also fanatically worship Haru Singh.
Harul Singh responded to the cheers of the crowd with a smile. Having fallen into the abyss and standing at the top again, he could face all the glory calmly.
…
"The eighth match, which is also the last match of the day, is between Tiger Fuson of the White Eagle Federation and Akinlov." The female host was full of anticipation.
In the mountain forest map.
Tiger Fossen smiled and let Akinlov attack him. Although Akinlov had reached the fifth level, his evolution method was still not perfect. Tiger Fossen easily blocked his crazy attack with two axes raised.
"I'm going to make a move." Tiger Fosun said before making a move.
Wow!
Then comes an axe!
The axe was like a flash of lightning, splitting the sky and the earth, and struck Akinlov, who turned into nothingness.
"This axe?" Xu Jingming's face changed slightly. He felt a huge threat when he saw the axe.
"Hmm?" Tijano's face was no longer playful, but rather serious. "Tiger Fuson is stronger than I expected."
"Use force to defeat cleverness?" Liu Hai was also serious. This axe was also the one that made Liu Hai feel truly threatened since the start of the competition.
Yesharova was watching the match with a smile, but she became more serious after seeing the axe: "According to the battle order, my opponent in the next round should be Xu Jingming. After defeating Xu Jingming, my opponent may be Tiger Fuson. I can't let him get close. I must keep a sufficient distance and then shoot him."
"He is wearing heavy armor, and I still have an absolute advantage in speed and agility. My chances of winning against him are at least 60%." Yesharova carefully considered various factors and determined that she had a greater chance of winning.
…
"The first round of eliminations, a total of eight matches, have all ended." The female host announced the results. "The top eight players have been selected. They are Tu Ling, Tijano Sire, Liu Hai, Madeline Logan, Yesharova, Xu Jingming, Haru Singh, and Tiger Fuson."
There were countless viewers in the live broadcast room, some were cheering and some were sighing.
For example, Rome, one of the three major countries on Blue Star, has a strong martial arts atmosphere and many masters, but no one made it to the quarterfinals this time.
Among the top eight players.
There are three people in Xia State: Tu Ling, Liu Hai and Xu Jingming.
There are two people from the White Eagle Federation: Madeline Logan and Tiger Fuson.
There is one person in Rakshasa country: Yesharova.
There was one person from India: Haru Singh.
There is one person in Povana: Tiano Sire.
"Basic competition rules, the second round of eliminations, the top eight to top four." The female host turned her head and looked behind her, and the live broadcast scene showed the game schedule -
First match: Tu Ling vs. Tijano Cirey
Match 2: Liu Hai vs. Madeline Logan
Match 3: Yesalova vs. Xu Jingming
Match 4: Haru Singh vs Tiger Fuson
The top eight players in the stands all took it seriously.
"Jingming, your opponent tomorrow is Yesharova." Li Miaomiao was a little nervous, "Are you sure you can handle her?"
"She has made a breakthrough to the fifth level, and her skills are very mature. She is a strong opponent." Xu Jingming admitted, "After all, she is the only fifth-level archer in the entire competition , and I have never faced her before."
Li Miaomiao also nodded, she also felt that the opponent was difficult to deal with.
"Starting from tomorrow, every game will be more difficult." Xu Jingming said, "We must go all out in every game and not be careless!"
If the group stage and the first round of knockouts are easy and are appetizers, then the quarterfinals will be the real main course, and the difficulty will rise sharply! After all, the next round will determine the top four in the world, and the next round will determine the top two in the world. The competition will be more intense, and even if you try your best, you may still lose the game.
"Let's go back to training." Xu Jingming stood up. He must not slack off every day and must seize every day to make himself stronger.
