Chapter 102 Global Experts

"Unbelievable! Simply unimaginable!" In the official livestream of the White Eagle Federation, the male host clutched his head, watching the slow-motion replay of the final shot that killed Miyakawa Akari. "Miyakawa Akari has fought almost all the top global experts. She only lost once before, after a ten-minute grueling battle with Tiger Fussen, when the battle map shrank and she was finally defeated. Against other opponents, Miyakawa Akari was previously undefeated!"

"Without a doubt, Miyakawa Akari has already reached the global peak, with strength comparable to Tiger. But this battle?" The male host pointed at the slow-motion replay. "When Xia country's Xu Jingming used his spear, it only took one shot! Miyakawa Akari was killed. This is a complete碾压(niǎn yā – crushing victory)! Completely different levels of strength."

"When Xu Jingming charged, his body's top speed reached 163 meters per second! The armor worn by a transcendent body, even light armor, should weigh over five hundred kilograms, and a spear should weigh at least three hundred kilograms, plus body weight...it's estimated to be a ton. With such weight, how is his speed faster than Miyakawa Akari?" The male host looked completely bewildered.

"Also, when he held his spear and charged to Miyakawa Akari, the spear suddenly thrust out! This thrust, the virtual world shows, reached a top speed of 403 meters per second! With such speed at close range, Miyakawa Akari couldn't block it at all. I can't understand, how can a spear weighing hundreds of kilograms thrust out so fast?"

"I heard that Xia country's Xu Jingming's title is Spear Demon! Truly worthy of the name. This Spear Demon's spear skills...are truly terrifying! This is a level of strength completely surpassing Miyakawa Akari and Tiger Fussen."

Even the White Eagle Federation's host had to acknowledge Xu Jingming's strength.

In the official livestreams of other countries, everyone understood how terrifying this 'Xia country Spear Demon' was, based on the data displayed in the virtual world.

"Ugh! Once Xia country's Spear Demon displays his spear skills, Miyakawa Akari can't block a single move. I estimate that even if the White Eagle Federation's Tiger Fussen appeared, he wouldn't be able to block more than a few moves. I even suspect...whether Tiger Fussen's armor, which is said to be the heaviest in the world, can withstand Xu Jingming's spear thrust!" The host of the Raksha country's livestream praised.

This wasn't a thrown weapon. Although thrown weapons are fast, reaching two or three times the speed of sound, they only weigh a few kilograms. Their power is only a bit stronger than sniper bullets in reality.

Xu Jingming's thrust was also supersonic, and the spear weighed three hundred and sixty kilograms. This spear...was comparable to some rocket propelled grenades.

"Xia country's Spear Demon's strength is actually so strong. I suspect that his current strength might already be the best in the world! The previous global number one, Liu Hai, has never fought globally. He is, after all, over seventy years old. In the early stages, he had an advantage due to years of accumulation. But in the later stages, his growth speed couldn't keep up with the young people," said the host of the Tianzhu country's official livestream.

"Like our country's strongest, Haru Singh, is only twenty-five years old this year. Like Rome's newly emerging Merritt, who is only twenty-two years old, has surpassed the older generation's Liven Gullit and become Rome's number one. Also, Raksha country's currently dazzling 'Akinlov' is only twenty-nine years old, and is the same age as Xu Jingming! Akinlov has also entered the fourth level, and his strength is close to Alan Emelianenko. Sakura country's Miyakawa Akari is only seventeen years old, and Xia country also has a fourth-level expert named Zhao Fan, who is only eighteen years old!"

"The older generation's strength was strong in the past, but over time, they will be gradually surpassed by the new experts emerging around the world. It's very normal for Liu Hai to be surpassed by Xu Jingming."

……

Livestreams in various countries all commented on this battle.

Xia country's official livestream, in particular, had become an ocean of joy, with countless people extremely excited.

"How is Xu Jingming so strong? He's much stronger than Miyakawa Akari! Not even on the same level. That means Xu Jingming can also虐(nüè - abuse/dominate) Tiger Fussen. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

"Could Xu Jingming be even stronger than Liu Hai?"

"It's really possible! The strength Xu Jingming has shown is too strong, much stronger than the current top global experts. He might already be the best in the world."

"No matter who is the best in the world, they are all from our Xia country."

"Awesome, awesome!"

People cheered happily. As long as a Xia country person could be number one, everyone would be satisfied and extremely happy.

"Jingming, his strength has already reached this step?" Liu Hai stood up from the stands, pleased with his disciple's growth, but also feeling the pressure. "I thought that in the first year of the virtual world's opening, I could still bully these little guys. It's only been three months! Jingming has grown to the same level as me."

"I have to work harder."

"Otherwise, next time Jingming comes to spar with me and蹂躏(róu lìn - trample/蹂躏), it would be too embarrassing." Liu Hai couldn't help but feel anxious when he imagined being trampled by his disciple.

Although he looked forward to his disciples becoming talented and being excellent, he absolutely didn't want to accept the result of being trampled by them. If he was truly inferior...he would rather not compete or spar.

Swoosh.

Liu Hai left the livestream room to train even harder.

In the livestreams of various countries, global experts were also stimulated by Xu Jingming's strength.

"Xia country's Spear Demon? No wonder he is called the Spear Demon." The Raksha country's number one genius, a man who was shorter than Alan Emelianenko, only one meter seventy-six tall, 'Akinlov' also stood up.

"What amazing spear skills." Haru Singh also felt the pressure and went to train as well.

"I'm really looking forward to fighting Xia country's Spear Demon, but unfortunately, I don't want to be虐(nüè - abused/dominated) right now. I'll wait until my strength is no weaker than his before fighting," said Merritt, the number one expert in Rome, as he left the livestream room.

Whether they were young experts or older generation experts, everyone became more invigorated and worked harder.

Tiger Fussen's personal space training ground was a mountain forest.

Tiger Fussen was wearing heavy armor weighing 2.6 tons. After reaching a transcendent body, his opponent's strength became even more terrifying, so the weight of the armor naturally had to increase accordingly! According to the virtual world's rules, with the same armor model, increasing the density would increase the defense.

The 2.35-meter-tall Tiger, wearing heavy armor, wielded two large axes, each weighing three hundred kilograms, and swung them at the trees in front of him.

Bang, bang, bang! One ax after another, after a few axes, a tree thicker than a person's waist collapsed with a crash.

"This tree is too weak, it needs to be more resilient." Tiger adjusted the data, and the tree's resilience immediately increased.

Tiger continued to swing his axe.

This time, it took more than a dozen axes to fell a tree, and Tiger was satisfied. He just kept chopping down trees one by one. His father was a lumberjack, and he liked lumberjacking when he was a child, swinging a small axe to chop wood.

Later, when he grew up, he became a boxer.

In his eyes, his opponents were just pieces of wood, and he just needed to punch and chop them.

An uppercut, a diagonal chop—seemingly simple boxing techniques, but with terrifying power and speed, allowing him to sweep the heavyweight boxing world. Even at the age of fifty-three, he was still invincible, and could be called the greatest heavyweight boxing champion in history. After retiring, he was old, so he returned to his hometown and went lumberjacking every day.

Just like when he was a child, he went lumberjacking with his father! If he didn't lumberjack every day, he felt like he was missing something.

After the virtual world opened, he picked up his beloved axe!

With a pair of axes, he was invincible!

However, on the Cosmic Ranking, Liu Hai was the global number one, and he was the global number two! That was an old guy who was even older than him. Tiger understood that for an old guy to still have such strength, he must truly love martial arts from the bottom of his heart.

"Tiger." A figure appeared; it was a black elder.

"Director." Tiger glanced at the elder and stopped his axe.

The person who came was the director of the White Eagle Federation's Life Evolution Bureau.

"You've discovered it, haven't you? Xu Jingming's strength is completely above yours." The black elder said, "And currently, there are Liu Hai and Tiano Xilei who are comparable to Xu Jingming in strength! All three of them are stronger than you. Are you still not in a hurry?"

"The virtual world has only been open for three months. What's the rush?" Tiger Fussen said with a smile, "Old guys like me are the most patient. My father said that you have to do everything slowly and carefully. Just like he loved his lumberjacking his entire life."

The black elder frowned.

"The *Fifth-Order Ax Technique* I've been learning for three months is almost complete, and my own ax skills have also fully reached the fourth order...The previous *Fifth-Order Ax Technique* doesn't help much anymore." Tiger nodded. "It's time to receive a传承(chuán chéng – inheritance/legacy)."

The black elder breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "An eighth-order传承(chuán chéng – inheritance/legacy), or possession by a Cosmic Legend?"

"I want to experience the strength of a Cosmic Legend," Tiger said with a smile. "I've never been a very smart person. I only knew a few moves in boxing, and I only know those axe techniques. I had trouble learning the fifth-order传承(chuán chéng – inheritance/legacy), so I'll forget about the eighth-order传承(chuán chéng – inheritance/legacy). It's better to directly learn axe techniques from a Cosmic Legend expert. Perhaps it's more suitable for me."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The black elder revealed a look of joy.

Although the White Eagle Federation also had some young people emerging, judging from the current data, there was still a gap between them and Tiger Fussen. Moreover, the black elder was very clear... that the two from Xia country had both received a传承(chuán chéng – inheritance/legacy), but Tiger hadn't received one yet!

Tiger was so stubborn, he insisted on taking it slow and waiting until he had almost learned the fifth-order axe technique before accepting better resources.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. In these three days, media from all over the world were still discussing Xu Jingming's spear skills! This was currently the strongest strength they had observed globally, so they were naturally studying Xu Jingming from every angle and in every way.

"My control over my body has improved a bit, and my evolutionary method has also improved to 43%." Liu Hai came to the Star Tower, also somewhat stimulated by his disciple Xu Jingming. He had worked very hard these three days, completely immersed in cultivation, and finally made some breakthroughs.

A breakthrough in Shield-Saber Technique also naturally improved the evolutionary method a bit.

His overall strength had increased by a notch.

"I could clearly see the Ape King's flaws in the past, but I couldn't grasp them. Now I should be able to grasp them. As long as I turn small victories into big victories, I can kill the Ape King." Liu Hai looked at the Star Tower and then stepped inside.

Twenty-six minutes later.

On the huge榜单(bǎng dān – list/ranking) next to the Star Tower, a new huge榜单(bǎng dān – list/ranking) slowly unfolded.

Cosmic Ranking (Fourth Level)—

Global Number One: Liu Hai (Xia country)
