Chapter 260 Shadowless Thrust

Heng Fang and Yang Qingshuo were standing on the other side of the ancient battlefield, not interfering in this battle. At this moment, when they saw Xu Jingming throw away his shield and take out that spear, they both became excited.

"Xu-ge's spear techniques are much stronger than his shield techniques. He was already at the third level before the competition," Yang Qingshuo said, full of anticipation.

Heng Fang's eyes were also burning with excitement. "This is the first time Lao Xu has used spear techniques in this competition!"

…

Holding the spear in his hand, Xu Jingming felt a sense of tranquility in his heart. From a young age, he had held a spear, practicing the Six Harmonies Great Spear technique, practicing thrusting and intercepting, day after day, year after year. It was with this spear that he became famous throughout the country during his youth and adolescence, becoming a main player in the national team at the age of eighteen and reaching the highest stage at the age of twenty.

Even when his leg was broken and his future was ruined, he never gave up the spear in his hand, and even developed stronger spear techniques. Years later, he made a comeback, and the entire martial arts world recognized his spear techniques as being among the top ten in history.

Over the years, the feeling of the spear shaft in his palm had long been deeply ingrained in his soul.

He had always regretted that in real-life competitions, the spearhead was spherical and had a buffer layer to protect the contestants during the competition.

With the arrival of the virtual world, he truly felt the sensation of killing an enemy with a single thrust.

"Pretending to be mysterious!" Fang Yu, wearing black heavy armor and with a burly figure, held a city-breaking halberd, staring at Xu Jingming. "Xu Jingming, abandoning your shield is the most foolish thing you've done in this battle! A shield is good for defense, allowing you to easily block my halberd techniques! But using a spear will make it ten times more difficult for you to resist my halberd techniques. We both use long weapons, and my halberd is three meters two long, much longer than yours. An inch longer, an inch stronger! You understand the most basic principle, don't you?"

Fang Yu was actually a little uneasy, so he used words to provoke Xu Jingming, trying to probe for any weaknesses.

"Then let's try it," Xu Jingming said, and his figure moved.

Whoosh.

As soon as he moved, his figure blurred, heading straight for Fang Yu.

Fang Yu stood still, focusing all his attention on responding.

"Hoo."

The distance between Xu Jingming and Fang Yu suddenly shrank. The sixty-centimeter advantage in weapon length was only a split-second matter at the speed of Xu Jingming and Fang Yu. If it were Lei Yunfang, the world's number one in footwork, he might be able to seize that moment. But Fang Yu didn't have time.

"Shu." The figure arrived, and the spear shot out like a dragon!

A spear was spinning, already close at hand.

Fang Yu quickly raised the city-breaking halberd. Clang! He managed to use the rear half of the halberd's long shaft to block the spear, making Fang Yu's heart tighten. "How is it so fast?"

"After the breakthrough in footwork, my whole body is much more agile. With a thought, power rises from my feet, making me even faster, and the speed of my spear thrusts is also a bit faster," Xu Jingming thought with joy. "A casual thrust is already threatening Fang Yu."

This was the first time he had used spear techniques in the Fire Seed Cup competition!

It was also the first time he had used them after the breakthrough in footwork, and Xu Jingming felt extremely happy.

"Boom!"

Fang Yu had just blocked the thrust when Xu Jingming's footwork shifted, and the spear reversed, becoming an extremely fierce cleaving strike. Under this terrifying speed, the spear shaft even bent, and the cleaving strike was like an axe, with the spear blade coming down on his head!

"Clang!" Fang Yu immediately intercepted with the city-breaking halberd, but the terrifying explosive force made Fang Yu's body shake and retreat a step.

It was said that cleaving strikes were fierce, but Fang Yu was, after all, a peerless genius with a 103% compatibility with the evolutionary method, possessing a huge advantage in terms of his body. Yet, he was still suppressed. This could only mean one thing: Xu Jingming's body's power-generating techniques were too strong.

Even with ordinary physical qualities, he could still unleash terrifying power and speed.

"Pfft." "Boom." "Chi." "Tear!" "Hoo!"

Each spear technique made a different sound as it tore through the air.

Some were penetrating, some were violently tearing, and some were explosive… but they all had one thing in common: they were continuous, one move linked to the next! Xu Jingming used his footwork to utilize the recoil force from each weapon collision, using force against force, one spear strike after another!

This was Xu Jingming's most familiar way of using spear techniques.

His second time on the world martial arts competition stage after his leg injury, he was known for his ferocity. That was because his leg injury had weakened his footwork, and he had no choice but to choose that fighting style.

Footwork, at least, determined half of one's strength, and this was no exaggeration.

"Refreshing, refreshing." Xu Jingming was extremely happy. The area within a hundred meters around him was like a huge domain, and he could clearly control every inch. Through his control of space, Fang Yu seemed to be trapped in a spatial cage, unable to escape.

He could get close or move away as he wished! He was the only one hitting Fang Yu! Fang Yu couldn't threaten Xu Jingming in the slightest.

This was also why Xu Jingming had always chosen light armor; he had always valued footwork very much.

…

In the live broadcast viewing platform, Liu Jianfeng and the others from the Uling team all had solemn expressions.

"Xiao Fang Yu is in trouble," Liu Jianfeng frowned as he watched. "Xu Jingming's footwork advantage is too great. He has completely mastered the spatial advantage. He can attack when he wants and leave when he wants. The initiative is completely in Xu Jingming's hands."

"Yu-er's halberd techniques draw on the meaning of Black Water, continuous and unending. It shouldn't be so easy to break through," Fang Yu's father couldn't help but say.

"It's useless. Xu Jingming's spear techniques are like thunder, known for their speed," Liu Jianfeng said. "When the speed reaches a certain point, any continuous moves are useless. Because people aren't sparring with you, it's just a one-hit kill at maximum speed. If you can block it, you live; if you can't, you die!"

"Xu Jingming is most famous for his Shadowless Thrust, but in the past, it didn't feel that threatening."

"That's because Xu Jingming hadn't broken through to the third level yet."

"The Shadowless Thrust after one's body is at a high level in the evolutionary method and the spear techniques have reached the third level must be much more terrifying."

They looked on with serious expressions, all sensing that the situation was not good.

…

Fang Yu, who was fighting Xu Jingming, felt it most strongly.

"It's too uncomfortable." Fang Yu felt a little pained. He felt like Xu Jingming was controlling a spider web, and he was the insect trapped in the web, unable to charge forward and unable to escape.

Wearing heavy armor and wielding a large halberd only made him seem more clumsy.

"Footwork, if my footwork breaks through to the third level, he won't be able to suppress me at all with my physical qualities," Fang Yu was in pain. But he couldn't help it; his footwork hadn't reached that level yet.

He could only try his best to wield the halberd, trying to defend against Xu Jingming's continuous attacks.

Xu Jingming continuously attacked for dozens of spear strikes. The coordination between his footwork and spear techniques became more and more perfect and smooth, and he was enjoying the fight.

"Bang." With a cleaving strike that caused Fang Yu's city-breaking halberd to shake slightly, Xu Jingming's hands holding the spear suddenly blurred.

Pfft!

The spear also blurred, then returned to its original position, as if nothing had moved.

Spear technique, Shadowless Thrust!

Xu Jingming looked at the opposite side. Fang Yu was holding the city-breaking halberd, but there was a hole in his throat, and his body began to become illusory. Fang Yu stared at Xu Jingming, wanting to remember this opponent.

In this battle, he was defeated miserably.

As Fang Yu turned into nothingness and disappeared from the battlefield, Xu Jingming also smiled, turned his head to look at Heng Fang and Yang Qingshuo in the distance, and shouted with a smile, "I won!"

"Xu-ge, awesome!" Yang Qingshuo jumped up.

"Lao Xu, six six six!" Heng Fang laughed. (internet slang meaning awesome)

Amidst the laughter, Xu Jingming, Heng Fang, and Yang Qingshuo also turned into nothingness, and the entire battlefield map collapsed.

The Pearwood team won, becoming the last of the top four teams!
