“The remaining three, come at me together.” Xu Jingming looked at the remaining three virtual experts, all with a base combat strength of 10,000, proficient in various weapons.

The three experts besieged him, one throwing a flying axe, one wielding a whip, and one wielding dual blades. However, Xu Jingming took the initiative to meet them, his figure shifting.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

As his footwork changed, three flashes of sword light appeared, and all three experts turned into illusions and disappeared.

"Please watch the slow-motion video..." Xu Jingming stopped, calmly pointing to the slow-motion video that appeared beside him. "When surrounded, never stay in place as a target. You need to move at high speed. The main reason I can easily approach my opponents is that my footwork gives me a great advantage. Footwork... is the topic of the next lesson. Today, you only need to watch my swordsmanship."

"These three sword techniques are the thrust, the point, and the slash. Notice that the wind-up time is the longest for all the different sword moves." Xu Jingming pointed to the slow-motion video.

"The wind-up time accounts for about 60%-80% of the entire sword strike," Xu Jingming said. "For any kind of weapon, the wind-up is the slowest part."

"Even with a car, starting it up is the slowest part. When a person runs, the start is also the slowest," Xu Jingming said. "So, we need to deliberately train our wind-up speed, making it as fast as possible."

"What we're pursuing isn't the ultimate speed of a single move, like my spear speed breaking the sound barrier," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "That's just the highest speed! What we need to pay more attention to is the wind-up speed!"

"A fast wind-up means overall speed, making it difficult for the enemy to resist," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Regarding this training, I will record various methods for everyone to train in the detailed courses at the martial arts arena."

"Alright, today's first live lecture ends here," Xu Jingming said. "This first live broadcast mainly covered the two most basic courses in martial arts: first, the power of moves, and second, the speed of execution. Detailed courses and practice methods will be uploaded to the martial arts arena tomorrow."

"I believe that after practicing the first three lessons of my martial arts course, you can expect to reach the second-tier level."

"After completing nine lessons, you can expect to reach the third-tier level."

"As for the fourth tier? My martial arts course will also provide some guidance for exploration," Xu Jingming said, and then closed the live broadcast room.

Countless viewers were still listening, reflecting and savoring what they had heard.

"It's over just like that?"

"It ended too abruptly. Twenty-nine billion viewers, and he just shuts down the live broadcast?"

"I still wanted to send a reward, but it's over, no chance."

The viewers talked among themselves.

"Xu Jingming's lecture feels completely different from others. In the past, I only knew how to practice and how to fight in actual combat. Now I understand... what goal to practice towards and what to pursue in actual combat."

"Yes, there's a goal now."

"Practicing physical exertion is actually about pursuing greater mass and greater speed, so the kinetic energy is naturally greater."

"Targeting the enemy's neural reaction limit?"

Countless people were lost in thought, gaining a new understanding of combat.

…

Liu Hai was in the stands, a smile on his face. "The first and second lessons of Jingming's martial arts course are indeed the foundation of the foundation! But he explains it from another perspective, making it easier for educated people to understand the essence. Once they understand the essence, they have a direction to learn."

"However, he has only talked about the power and speed of moves. I want to see how Jingming will explain the other aspects of martial arts." Liu Hai had been teaching people his whole life, and he was quite looking forward to Xu Jingming's teaching methods.

…

"Can it be this simple?"

Tiger Fosen, sitting on the stand like a huge bear, stroked his chin. "Greater mass, greater speed? I knew the importance of mass and speed, but now I can understand it from the perspective of kinetic energy."

"Kinetic energy, I heard about it when I was in school, but I don't remember it clearly," Tiger Fosen muttered to himself. "Execution speed? No wonder I always rely on force to overwhelm people. It's difficult for me to make my opponents unable to react! It turns out that it takes time for my great axe to swing and chop. My execution speed can't be faster than the neural reaction limit of opponents of the same level."

Tiger Fosen relied more on instinct and combat intuition.

Now, after Xu Jingming's explanation, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"This lesson is basic, but it's worth a 10,000-yuan reward." Tiger Fosen stood up. "Since the live broadcast room is closed, you can't blame me for not giving a reward."

Standing up, Tiger Fosen left.

…

In martial arts combat, a strong person may not necessarily be able to explain things clearly.

Everyone has their own direction. Although Xu Jingming was teaching the most basic courses, he still allowed some top experts to observe their own martial arts from a new perspective. As for those ordinary people who had been struggling at the Silver Moon and Sun levels for more than three months, they felt that they had gained a lot.

"I feel like I've gained a lot, and anyone who has gone to middle school should be able to understand it." Cheng Zihao also felt that he had gained a lot from the stands.

"Just one lesson, global viewers gathered, and the highest number of online viewers exceeded 2.9 billion?" Cheng Zihao felt only envy, jealousy, and hatred. "Xu Jingming just closed the live broadcast after such a popular stream. One lesson, and the rewards exceeded 200 million... Although it might be more because it was his first live broadcast, and the live broadcast rewards will be much less in the future, it's still too exaggerated."

"My entire company, all the other streamers combined, are far inferior to Xu Jingming's live broadcast room, right?" Cheng Zihao felt very uncomfortable.

"Boss."

Zhou Feng appeared at the side and walked to Cheng Zihao's side.

"What's wrong? What's the matter again?" Cheng Zihao said impatiently.

"It's like this, Young Master Liang wants to withdraw his shares," Zhou Feng said.

"Withdraw his shares?" Cheng Zihao looked at Zhou Feng.

"Yes, Young Master Liang said he's short of money and wants to withdraw his shares in our company," Zhou Feng said. "He wants you, boss, to give a price, buy his shares, and let him withdraw."

"Let him dream on!" Cheng Zihao glared. "He was an angel investor, invested early on, and was happy when the company's valuation soared all the way. Now that the company is in trouble, he wants to withdraw? He can withdraw, but he can find another buyer himself! I've never stopped him from selling his shares. Let me buy them? He's daydreaming!"

Zhou Feng hesitated for a moment. "How about giving a low price?"

"Ignore him. I have no obligation to buy back his shares," Cheng Zihao frowned. "I'm annoyed, I don't have the mind to care about him."

Zhou Feng said, "Boss, now the global experts on the Star List can broadcast live to the world. Apart from Liu Hai, Tiano, and Xu Jingming, whose popularity will be ridiculously high, the other ninety-seven people will also have relatively high popularity... These hundred people account for too much traffic. For example, Xu Jingming's live broadcast just now had a peak of over 2.9 billion viewers. It's possible that half of the people in the world watching live broadcasts were watching his stream. This is too crazy."

"It might be because it's his first live broadcast," Cheng Zihao said.

"Liu Hai has broadcast more than once, and he can generally maintain a stable viewership of 2 billion people," Zhou Feng said. "These people's live broadcasts have too much of an impact on the entire live broadcast market. The outside world has lowered the valuation of our live broadcast companies a lot. They are even worried that the Blue Star Alliance will introduce more policies, making the situation even worse."

"I know," Cheng Zihao frowned.

"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down," Zhou Feng said. "Boss, the company is on a downward slope, and many crises are coming. You have to prepare a response plan."

"Alright, alright, I know," Cheng Zihao stood up and left the live broadcast room.

Seeing this, Zhou Feng looked at the dark live broadcast room and sighed.

"Competition was already fierce before, and the company's days were not easy. Now that the entire industry is on a downward slope... the company is even more troublesome. Now some shareholders want to withdraw." Zhou Feng was also quite annoyed. He watched all of this happen, but he had no way to solve the crisis.

…

After the lecture.

Xu Jingming began to edit the live broadcast video and continued to record some supporting practice methods and demonstration videos.

"Jingming, how long do you think it will take?" Li Miaomiao stood aside and said.

"The practice methods and demonstration videos are easy. It's just the editing that's troublesome." After all, Xu Jingming had no experience. Although the editing in the virtual world had become very simple, he was still flustered.

"Let me help you," Li Miaomiao said. "You tell me the requirements, and I'll help you edit."

"Okay." Xu Jingming felt a little relieved.

The two cooperated, spending three hours to finally complete the editing of the first and second martial arts lessons.

"The courses are already very refined. The first lesson is 28 minutes, and the second lesson is 25 minutes. They can't be compressed any further," Li Miaomiao said.

"Okay." Xu Jingming also watched it again and nodded. "I didn't find any problems. What do you think?"

"It's good. The theory, practical demonstrations, and practice methods are all complete," Li Miaomiao said.

Xu Jingming nodded. "Then I'll upload them."

He opened his personal panel and uploaded the two courses through the sub-panel of the martial arts arena.

Based on reader feedback, the martial arts courses are not satisfying enough. Alas, in fact, Tomato put a lot of effort into the nine martial arts lessons. Since you don't find them satisfying enough, I'll simply skip the other seven lessons in the back.
