Chapter 317 Global Clash Begins

October 10th, 9 PM, Xia Country official livestream.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao sat in the stands, drinking beverages and watching the livestream.

"Jingming, the first day of the global clash, are you really not participating?" Li Miaomiao asked while sipping her coffee.

"There are too many god-level experts globally. Our Xia Country alone has over 15,000 god-level experts, and globally, I've heard there are more than 60,000. Charging into the global clash like a swarm will only make things chaotic," Xu Jingming said. "Let's observe first, see the strength of the world's top experts, and then it won't be too late to act."

At least judging from the god-level battles, apart from his master Liu Hai, who hadn't revealed his full strength, no one in the country was his match.

After all, he hadn't seen anyone reach Tier 4 yet.

"The country already has 15,000 god-level experts, and I still haven't reached that level," Li Miaomiao said, touching her nose and lowering her head. "With you teaching me, Xia Qing teaching me, Sister Yi teaching me… so many experts teaching me, and the virtual world has been open for so long, but my basic combat strength is only 962. I'm still a bit short of 1000."

"At your speed, you'll reach a basic combat strength of 1000 within a week," Xu Jingming comforted. "Then you'll be a god-level expert."

"Yeah."

Li Miaomiao clenched her fist. "According to the population ratio, one in about 100,000 people is a god-level expert, which is still pretty impressive."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "Two months in the virtual world is equivalent to more than five years of hard training in reality! Anyone with a bit of talent can generally become a god-level expert."

"Are you saying I have less talent?" Li Miaomiao stared at Xu Jingming.

"No, no, no…" Xu Jingming immediately said, "It's that you're not working hard enough. You slack off every other day, and now you're only one step away from god-level. If you worked harder, you would have succeeded long ago. So your talent is still good."

Li Miaomiao nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Jingming secretly sighed in relief.

With so many top experts like himself, Dai Xiaoqing, and Wang Yi guiding her, even if she wasn't that diligent, Li Miaomiao should have become a god-level expert if she had a bit more talent. After all, the cultivation environment in the virtual world was too good.

The truth was that his girlfriend, Li Miaomiao, only had decent talent in martial arts! She hadn't reached the 'one in 100,000' level of talent.

"I'm also clear that my talent in martial arts weapons is far inferior to yours. Sigh, being surrounded by geniuses…" Li Miaomiao lamented. "Makes me seem so mediocre."

"Watch the match, stop feeling sorry for yourself," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Viewers of the livestream, the match we're broadcasting is between the Xia Country team and the Roman team." Host Liu Xin looked at the livestream scene and began to introduce, "On the Xia Country side, we have Fang Yu, who is ranked twelfth on the Starry Sky Rankings, but his four teammates are slightly inferior. On the Roman side, we have Zaha Maggs, who is ranked fifteenth on the Starry Sky Rankings, and his four teammates are also ordinary god-level experts. This match… mainly depends on the fight between Fang Yu and Zaha."

"I'd also like to inform everyone," Liu Xin said with a smile, "The Roman official livestream is also broadcasting this match, with a viewership of six hundred million! Our Xia Country official livestream has surpassed nine hundred million viewers!"

As the host spoke, the match began.

It was a modern city map.

Li Miaomiao said from the stands, "From the Starry Sky Rankings, Zaha Maggs is the second-highest expert in Rome, and he uses dual axes. Fang Yu is currently very popular in the country. After defeating Lei Yunfang, many people in the country believe that he is the second-strongest in Xia Country, with unlimited potential."

"He has a lot of potential, after all, he's only twenty years old," Xu Jingming said, watching the match.

In this match, with Fang Yu and Zaha, the other eight were just decorations.

Even second-tier god-level archers couldn't threaten them from a distance. If they got close, they would be easily killed by the two.

"Xia Country's Fang Yu?" Zaha was tall and thin, standing at two meters nineteen, wielding a pair of battleaxes.

Fang Yu was shorter than Zaha, but more burly and sturdy, wearing heavy armor and charging directly at Zaha with a city-breaking halberd.

"Hmph."

Zaha snorted coldly and met him head-on.

Both of them were incredibly fast, and they used heavy weapons, making their charge terrifying.

"Whoosh!"

Zaha's battleaxe slashed furiously! The battleaxe cut through the air, leaving behind afterimages.

"Clang!" The city-breaking halberd was incredibly heavy, blocking the axe head-on.

But another battleaxe swept in from another angle. Zaha's pair of battleaxes were not only heavy but also coordinated in a bizarre and unpredictable manner. If one axe struck, even Fang Yu's heavy armor wouldn't fare well.

"Get lost!" Fang Yu shook his city-breaking halberd, blocking the other axe.

The city-breaking halberd was ferocious and incomparable, leaving behind trails of black afterimages as it attacked Zaha.

"What powerful strength." Zaha was also famous for his strength. His pair of battleaxes perfectly combined power and unpredictability, but he was suppressed by the city-breaking halberd.

Too much strength! Too fast!

Fang Yu was like a monster, charging head-on! He didn't even bother using throwing weapons.

After dozens of consecutive attacks, he finally broke through the defenses of Zaha's pair of battleaxes and pierced Zaha's chest, causing Zaha's body to turn illusory. Only then did Fang Yu reveal an excited smile.

He liked the feeling of defeating his opponents!

"Fang Yu!"

"Fang Yu!"

"Fang Yu is invincible!"

"He won!"

"The second-highest expert in Rome has also been defeated by Fang Yu!"

The audience was boiling over with excitement. After all, this was the first match broadcasted by the Xia Country official livestream since the start of the global clash. Fang Yu's victory was very encouraging.

At the same moment, countless viewers on the Roman official livestream were in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

"How could he break through Zaha's dual axes?"

"That Xia Country person in black heavy armor completely suppressed Zaha. I heard he's ranked twelfth on the Starry Sky Rankings, and there are three people in Xia Country ranked higher than him: Liu Hai, Lei Yunfang, and Xu Jingming."

"I checked the information on this Xia Country person, Fang Yu. He's very powerful now. He defeated Lei Yunfang in the country, and it's generally believed that he's currently the second-strongest in Xia Country."

"But Zaha still lost."

The pride of the Roman people was shattered into pieces. They desperately wanted their own expert to win.

…

Xu Jingming watched the cheering crowd and smiled.

"Xia Country's overall strength is much stronger than Rome's," Xu Jingming thought to himself. But in his heart, Xu Jingming was thinking about his experiences when he possessed 'Xuan.'

"Blue Star Civilization is applying to access the virtual world network."

"Purchase price…"

"Payment successful."

Xu Jingming still clearly remembered those things.

If his guess was correct, Blue Star Civilization was just one of the civilizations in the vast universe.

"Xuan is a councilor of the Cosmic Human Alliance. What kind of organization is the Cosmic Human Alliance?" Xu Jingming thought. "Xuan and that armored strongman are both beings who can easily destroy planets and even stars, and their status isn't even high enough. Then what is the status of Blue Star Civilization?"

Having come into contact with these secrets, Xu Jingming was naturally calm as he watched the current match. His gaze had long since turned to the cosmic starry sky.

"According to Director Zhou, when I become stronger, I'll be able to know the real secrets." Xu Jingming got up. "I'll continue to become stronger!"

"You're not watching anymore?" Li Miaomiao looked at Xu Jingming.

"I'll watch the video after the livestream ends," Xu Jingming said. "I'm going to the training grounds to practice for a while."

Li Miaomiao nodded, watching Xu Jingming disappear.

…

Personal space training grounds.

Xu Jingming practiced the Heavenly Python Evolution Method over and over again, his mind and will integrated into his entire body, sensing the depths of his body.

Ever since his spearmanship broke through to the fourth tier, he had been wanting his Evolution Method to break through as well! But several days had passed, and as he cultivated, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to breaking through, but he was always just a little bit short.

But Xu Jingming's heart was calm, like the rotation of celestial stars, quietly experiencing the changes in his body.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, there was a sense of trembling.

The muscle bundles in his body were mobilized, and under the guidance of the Heavenly Python Evolution Method, they finally changed. This change also caused his body to undergo a complete transformation, a thorough change.

The re-evolution of life! Heavenly Python Evolution Method, super-tier!
