Chapter 1 Please Enter, Player Jingming

"Please enter, Player Jingming," a reminder sounded in the booth.

Xu Jingming smiled slightly at his parents, younger brother, and younger sisters beside him, "I'll go in first."

"Be careful," his father, Jing Yulong, said with a worried expression.

"If you can't beat him, just admit defeat quickly," his mother, Yuan Yu, also said worriedly. "Safety first."

They had enjoyed watching the previous matches, but they became anxious when their own family members entered the arena. Especially since the previous two weaker races had been unilaterally crushed.

"Big brother." The group of younger siblings looked at Xu Jingming. Even little Jiu, who was only a little over a year old, stared wide-eyed at her big brother. Assistant Ni Yun, the bodyguards, and everyone else were also somewhat nervous.

"Don't worry," Xu Jingming smiled. Whoosh, he had already disappeared from the booth and appeared in the arena thousands of meters away.

"So fast." Jing Yulong and his wife, along with the large group of people, felt their scalps tingle.

When Xu Jingming interacted with them before, casually revealing level 30 or 40 strength was already incredible. But now that he truly revealed his strength, even his speed made them speechless.

They were only amazed when other powerhouses displayed their limit speed of over 100,000 meters per second.

But seeing their own family member display such speed was a hundred or a thousand times more stimulating to them.

"I was very relaxed watching the previous matches, but why am I so nervous now?" Mother Yuan Yu said. "I can hardly breathe."

"The match is about to begin," Father Jing Yulong said, also very worried. At the same time, a light screen was suspended beside him, showing the broadcast of the matches being held in the seven human nations.

…

The entire world understood the special nature of this Myriad Races Competition. Therefore, when there was a human powerhouse among the 300 official contestants, the seven human nations were in an uproar. Countless humans had long been anticipating this match.

"Lord Jingming has entered the arena."

"Lord Jingming, I love you!"

"Lord Jingming's speed when he entered the arena already exceeded 100,000 meters per second. This is the strength of our human powerhouse!!!"

Countless people watched the broadcast scene with fervor.

The humans even arranged for a host and two commentators for the match.

"For Lord Jingming to be able to enter the official competition in this competition that is attracting the attention of all races is already an incredibly great achievement! Among nearly ten thousand races, there are only nine powerhouses from weaker races who are able to enter the official competition. Our human race occupies one spot. This is the pride of our entire human race," the host said excitedly, his face flushed red. "Although the match hasn't started yet, Lord Jingming has already won! Being able to stand on the arena is an incredibly great victory! It is a victory worthy of being recorded in history!"

"Actually, Lord Jingming has a very relaxed attitude towards this match," a commentator next to him also said. "Weaker races are much weaker than powerful races, so losing is very normal. Mentally, Lord Jingming has the advantage."

"Lord Jingming is on stage to fully display the strength of our human powerhouse. Winning or losing isn't that important."

The host and commentators spoke, preemptively soothing the people's minds.

Of course, countless people also thought so in their hearts. Isn't it only natural for weaker races to be suppressed? In the past million years, only three human contestants had ever stepped onto the arena.

This competition was extraordinary in significance. Being able to enter the arena was enough for the human race to sing and dance in celebration! What more did they need than victory?

We don't need victory! We are already very happy!

"Lord Jingming is the idol I admire the most."

"I've already pasted Lord Jingming's portrait on my bedside. Seeing Lord Jingming every day makes me practice martial arts with more energy."

Countless people expressed their opinions. The online media in the seven human nations was filled with celebrations. This day was possibly the most lively and celebratory day in countless humans' lives.

"The match has begun," the host and the two commentators immediately focused their attention on watching the match. Countless viewers held their breath.

*******

In the arena.

Xu Jingming stood in the middle, looking at the Mountain Demon Race's 'Bardi God' thousands of meters away. The opponent was 65 meters tall, like a small mountain. Bardi God was also carefully observing this opponent.

The two exchanged glances.

Xu Jingming was participating in the competition with the mindset of tempering himself, but Bardi God was different. Having descended into the Mountain Demon Race, he had to seize every competition in the early stages.

"Hmph." Bardi God moved first. He seemed as majestic as a mountain, but his speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning striking towards Xu Jingming.

"Yo~~"

Bardi God heard the cry of a flying bird and saw a giant divine bird flying with its wings spread, its wings transforming into countless afterimages. Bardi God's eyes narrowed, and his mental strength condensed, penetrating the mental influence and seeing Xu Jingming's true form.

At this moment, Xu Jingming had already flown into the air, pouncing straight at Bardi God.

Bardi God joined his hands together, as if two giant doors were closing, blocking Xu Jingming's path and enveloping him in suppression.

"Bang."

Xu Jingming was in mid-air, stepping with one foot on the center of Bardi God's left palm. He only felt a terrifying force transmitting over, and Xu Jingming used the force to retreat explosively.

"His mental strength is also quite strong. My *Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* (Heart God Soldier Combat Art) has a relatively weak influence on him," Xu Jingming judged. This was also normal. After all, those who could enter the official competition among more than 5 million high-dimensional beings were all extraordinary.

His mental strength was still in the process of practicing the seventh realm of the Eight Directions Diagram, the 'My Dao Realm'.

Dao was something that was walked out step by step.

How long would it take to practice 'My Dao'?

There was no definite answer. It was normal for high-dimensional beings of the mental lineage to be unable to complete the cultivation of 'My Dao Realm' in their entire lives. Even those at the half-step third realm of the mental lineage might not have cultivated 'My Dao Realm'.

Xu Jingming had not studied the *Xin Shen Bing* (Heart God Soldier) ultimate art for long enough, so its ability to influence the mind was not too strong.

"Whoosh."

Xu Jingming moved at super high speed, using his agility advantage to fight with the majestic Bardi God.

The Thousand Shadow Flying Crane Stance, Ape Demon Heart Piercing Stance, and Violent Tiger Ripping Heaven Stance of the *Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* (Heart God Soldier Combat Art) were also fused into one, coming naturally to hand, shaking the opponent's mind while repeatedly attacking the opponent's vital points.

Bardi God was highly vigilant in his mind, resisting the mental interference while using his physical advantages to attack repeatedly. Every kick of his was unparalleled in power, and every palm tore through the sky.

…

Inside the booth, the Jing family was nervously watching the match, looking at the live scene and also at the slow-motion replay in the light screen. Slow-motion replays allowed them to more clearly discern the situation on the field.

"Big brother's strength is so amazing." The group of younger siblings only felt their hearts tremble. They had long known that their big brother was extraordinary, but they only truly witnessed his strength today.

Jing Yulong and his wife clenched their fists tightly.

"Don't worry," Jing Yulong comforted his wife. "Our son is fighting the Mountain Demon Race powerhouse, at least he hasn't been beaten until he's spitting blood! He's much better than the previous two weaker race powerhouses."

His wife, Yuan Yu, nodded.

On the light screen beside them, the host and commentators were also nervously commentating.

"Lord Jingming is too amazing. The Mountain Demon Race is huge, with terrifying power and speed, but Lord Jingming can avoid the Mountain Demon Race's truly fatal attacks. Even when the Mountain Demon Race barely touches Lord Jingming, it can't hurt Lord Jingming."

"Lord Jingming is more agile and is also good at using leverage. In my opinion, Lord Jingming might be able to reverse the situation!"

"I also think that if Lord Jingming persists, he has a chance to win."

The host and two commentators praised him.

As long as there was a shred of hope, the human host and commentators would dare to exaggerate it into five or even seven parts!

Countless human viewers were filled with fervor, wishing they could rush up and beat the Mountain Demon Race!

"I am willing to use 100 years of my life to exchange for Lord Jingming's victory."

"Lord Jingming, defeat that Mountain Demon Race."

Just as the human audience was going wild—

Bang!

Xu Jingming was struck by a palm and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the protective shield and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This stunned all the celebrating humans, and they fell silent.

…

After Xu Jingming crashed into the protective shield and landed, he stared at the Mountain Demon Race 'Bardi God' in front of him. Bardi God's facial muscles were torn, with blood on them, but the wound was healing quickly.

"His skin and muscle layers are too thick. My Ape Demon Heart Piercing Stance, which is best at penetrating power, can still only injure his surface." Xu Jingming had risked injury to give the opponent a blow to the face just now.

The opponent had taken a heavy blow and finally struck Xu Jingming with a palm.

Both sides were injured.

However, Xu Jingming recovered faster.

"What a tough body." After hitting Xu Jingming, Bardi God was shocked instead. "With such a tough body, it won't be easy to defeat him. I must use the move I was preparing to hide until the later stages."

Xu Jingming had been sent flying and spitting blood by a palm strike, which seemed quite miserable, but in reality, he had used the momentum to dissipate the force. This bit of injury would naturally recover in just one second.

The tougher the body, the faster the recovery speed.

In recent years, Xu Jingming had first used the Eight Directions Diagram's Realm of Life and Death to tap into the potential of his physical body, and later pondered the method of using 'My Dao Realm' to improve his body. In the three hundred years since his descent, his body refining method had been continuously improved, and Xu Jingming's physical fitness had already reached level 61, and was not far from level 62.

"I've created five stances of the *Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* (Heart God Soldier Combat Art) these years, but this Mountain Demon Race is thick-skinned and has a huge body, so only the fourth stance poses some threat to him," Xu Jingming determined after a brief exchange of blows. "Powerful races are indeed formidable. This first competition has forced me to fight desperately."

Xu Jingming's body suddenly began to swell.

From his previous height of 1.8 meters, he grew to a full 2.6 meters.

His muscles became much thicker, and he was very lean before, but now his muscles had enlarged all around! The fiery aura emanating from his body distorted the surrounding air.

"His body has become bigger?"

"Has become bigger?"

Countless viewers were both shocked and expectant.

In the front row of the audience, the Ant Race powerhouse, Ha Fu Teng, watched this scene and nodded slightly. "The bigger the body, the bigger the bones and muscles can be, so naturally you can have stronger power." He had been deliberately making himself bigger in recent years, making himself the size of an ant race noble from an ordinary ant race.

…

"The bigger the body, the higher the upper limit of power naturally," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "Now I am in a state of complete explosion, and the strength of my muscles and bones is perfectly unleashed, increasing my strength by 80% and my speed by 10%. The only drawback is that my agility has decreased by about 30%."

The Mountain Demon Race Bardi God saw this scene and said in a low voice, "No matter how much your body grows, you are still a small thing."

Saying that, Bardi God joined his palms together, having already decided to use his hidden move.

"Take this!" Xu Jingming slammed his foot on the ground, becoming faster and fiercer than before, turning into an afterimage.

"Die."

The Mountain Demon Race Bardi God waved his palms, and ten sharp, long fingernails suddenly detached, shooting towards Xu Jingming at a terrifying speed.

This was a move that Bardi God had been preparing for a long time. Reaching their level, their control over their bodies had reached an incredible level. Naturally, they could use their sharp fingernails as hidden weapons. He was good at hidden weapons in the outside world, and he had practiced this move for a long time. This could also make up for his clumsy flaws.

Each of the ten sharp fingernails was more than a meter long, like ten short spears. The speed at which they pierced through the air far exceeded Xu Jingming's movement speed. With ten attacking at the same time, Xu Jingming couldn't dodge at all.

"Can't dodge." Xu Jingming's eyes turned red. In the state of explosion, his agility was greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to avoid. "Then I won't dodge!"

Xu Jingming gritted his teeth and exerted force throughout his body, slamming his feet on the ground, and his speed exploded even more violently.

Facing the ten short spear-like sharp fingernails, he didn't dodge but instead charged forward faster.

Puchi!

Xu Jingming's abdomen was slashed, creating a huge wound, and blood splattered.

There was madness in Xu Jingming's eyes.

"Only after the Realm of Life and Death can there be My Dao Realm."

"Only by transcending life and death can one be worthy of… practicing My Dao!!!"

"Roar~~"

A towering giant bear appeared on the arena. The giant bear roared to the sky, carrying endless anger and destructive power, charging towards the Mountain Demon Race Bardi God.

*Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* (Heart God Soldier Combat Art) Fourth Stance—Demonic Bear Splitting the Heavens!

The Mountain Demon Race Bardi God heard the roar and saw the demonic bear charging over, causing his heart to tremble. "My mind has been influenced." He retreated while trying to get rid of the mental interference.

But suddenly—

Bang!

Bardi God only felt a burst of booming in his head, and his body flew uncontrollably, ka! The sound of his skull cracking made Bardi God, who was sent flying and crashing into the protective shield, shudder.

"I admit defeat," Bardi God shouted.

The mental power that was spreading and influencing him receded, and Bardi God could see clearly that Xu Jingming was descending from mid-air.

Bardi God touched his head. With his ability to sense his body, he could sense that there were already multiple cracks in his skull. "Two more hits and my brains would have been knocked out, and I would have lost my life."

There was some regret in Xu Jingming's eyes. "The Mountain Demon Race's body is indeed powerful. My desperate strike beyond life and death, Demonic Bear Splitting the Heavens, hit his head, but it still couldn't directly kill him."

"Human Race Jingming wins!" The competition host, Golden Haired Pan Qiu, said in a high-pitched and excited voice, "The first winning weaker race of this competition has been born. Human Race Jingming has defeated the Mountain Demon Race Bardi God."

"Human Race Jingming!"

"Jingming!"

"Jingming!"

Like a tidal wave, the audience of countless weaker races completely erupted, the tiny Ant Race, Bee Race, Mantis Race, etc., jumping on their seats, completely going crazy. There were also Human Race, Dwarf Race, Elf Race, and other races who abandoned their elegance, shouting excitedly.

The weaker races had finally won, finally won once!

At this moment, the broadcast screen also spread to all parts of the Myriad Races world, and the viewers of the seven human nations were even more completely stunned.
