The rain that had been falling on the ancient town stopped at the same moment Gao Chong dissipated. The sun emerged from the sky, its rays illuminating the town, making it look even more beautiful after the rain.

Only Xu Jingming remained in the rain-washed town, bathed in sunlight.

"I won." Xu Jingming's joy came from the bottom of his heart. Three years after retiring, he had finally had a truly satisfying fight in this virtual world. He had defeated Wang Qiao, who had once been ranked second in the world, and Gao Chong, the world number one. Defeating Gao Chong had been particularly difficult, and he had only managed to seize a single opportunity.

At that moment, the town crumbled before his eyes, and Xu Jingming's own body turned illusory as he returned to the battle space.

The first God-level battle in Xia country had come to an end!

The team consisting of Xu Jingming, Wang Yi, Zhang Qian, Dong Xu, and Wu Sai had ultimately emerged victorious.

…

During the peak clash between Xu Jingming and Gao Chong, the official Xia country live broadcast had exceeded eight hundred million viewers!

After more than nine hours since the virtual world opened, people were temporarily tired of evolution methods and battles, and preferred to watch live broadcasts. Moreover, the word spread quickly, and being the only top-ranked broadcast room, it had attracted such an astonishing number of viewers.

While Xu Jingming and Gao Chong fought fiercely.

Huang Yong was saying, "It's a bit of a stalemate. Gao Chong's crashing spear isn't working against Xu Jingming. But Xu Jingming is also having trouble. The heavy armor is like a turtle shell to him. He has to attack Gao Chong's head to kill him."

"We just have to wait for their stamina to deplete, and they'll expose an opening," Qin Yiwen said.

"That's how experts fight. I won't give you a chance, and you won't give me a chance. Usually, a fatal blow is more likely to occur when stamina and condition decline," Huang Yong said. "Everyone, please enjoy this very exciting battle between experts. They—what? What happened?"

"What's going on?" Qin Yiwen exclaimed.

"Xu Jingming, how did he pierce Gao Chong's heavy armor with one spear?" The host, Liu Xin, also said in disbelief, "Wasn't it said that heavy armor couldn't be pierced by a spear?"

"Wow."

"Xu Jingming is awesome!"

"What happened? What exactly happened?"

"I didn't see it clearly. How did he pierce it with one spear?"

"Didn't he only barely manage to make a hole in the heavy armor before? How did he pierce it?"

"How did Xu Jingming do it?"

Countless viewers had been prepared to patiently watch a high-level confrontation, but unexpectedly, without any warning, Gao Chong's heavy armor was pierced with a single spear, piercing his chest and killing him instantly.

No one had expected this outcome.

Countless viewers felt their hearts racing and their scalps tingling.

"Beautiful!" In the stands, Xu Hong and his wife were incredibly excited.

"Jingming!" Li Miaomiao looked at Xu Jingming bathed in sunlight, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. She had personally witnessed Xu Jingming practicing his spear every day without slacking off, and countless sandbags had been torn to shreds. "You've finally shown your strength. This is your true strength."

This was Xu Jingming without injuries, Xu Jingming who had fully demonstrated his strength.

Liu Hai, who was also in the stands, smiled. "Not bad, his feet are rooted, and his stance is stable enough." Liu Hai got up and disappeared from the live broadcast. He had seen what he wanted to see.

The moment Xu Jingming pierced Gao Chong's chest, Liu Hai had seen through the reality.

…

"Let's see what happened just now, how Xu Jingming managed to pierce the heavy armor and kill Gao Chong." Host Liu Xin waved his hand, and the battle space area began to replay the previous battle scene in super slow motion!

Gao Chong charged head-on, incomparably violent, charging fiercely, and struck at Xu Jingming with a crashing spear.

Xu Jingming's seemingly ordinary thrust didn't seem to matter to Gao Chong, as long as it didn't threaten his head, he didn't need to pay attention to it, he just needed to attack!

"Look!"

Huang Yong's eyes lit up. "There's a difference between Xu Jingming's thrust and an ordinary spear thrust."

The eight hundred million viewers in the live broadcast were listening, and more than 99% of them didn't quite understand what the difference was. How did he pierce the heavy armor?

"Gao Chong cultivates the Giant Bear Evolution method. With his height and weight, plus the three-hundred-kilogram heavy armor, he should weigh more than five hundred kilograms," Huang Yong said. "He's charging like a high-speed car. A normal spear thrust would be retracted after one strike. If it's not retracted… the spear would be thrown away by Gao Chong's impact."

"But Xu Jingming didn't! This thrust of his, on the surface, looks like a spear thrust. Strictly speaking… it's more like a caltrop!" Huang Yong pointed to Xu Jingming's spear stance. "He's holding the spear as if he's one with it. His entire posture is like a caltrop! Gao Chong's charge is like a head-on collision with a caltrop."

"Only thirty percent of this spear's power comes from Xu Jingming's own strength, and seventy percent comes from Gao Chong's charging power," Huang Yong said. "Most importantly, it's Xu Jingming's stance! He's standing there, and even with a violent impact, he's only sinking his feet into the ground, still fixed in place! His hands are also gripping the spear tightly. Even if the impact injures his hands, he's still trying to stabilize his stance."

"So that the impact power is not dissipated! Allowing Gao Chong to fully bear the impact, and the spearhead carrying this impact force, forcibly pierced the heavy armor," Huang Yong praised.

"This is a bit like a counterattack, but the technique is higher, and the stance of holding the spear is also very demanding," Qin Yiwen also understood and praised.

…

With the professional commentary, many viewers also understood.

"Yes, it's like a counterattack in boxing. In boxing, even the most resistant boxer can be knocked out with a counterattack! Because the counterattack is not only the power of one's own punch, but also the force of the opponent's charge."

"Xu Jingming is awesome!"

"Too amazing!"

"This is much more difficult than a counterattack punch. After all, Gao Chong's heavy armor charge usually knocks the opponent's weapon away!"

"Xu Jingming's feet were knocked into the ground, and his hands were injured and bleeding, but he still stabilized. His body stance… is like a stable structure in architecture, very stable in terms of bearing capacity. From a mechanical point of view, this body stance…"

"Xu Jingming is awesome!"

"Awesome!"

Various comments kept scrolling.

In addition to being excited, many viewers were also rewarding their favorite players. The amount of rewards for Xu Jingming in this battle had surpassed Gao Chong and climbed to the first place!

"This is the first God-level battle in Xia country. Looking back at this battle, there are too many unforgettable confrontations," host Liu Xin said with emotion. "Like Old Man Liu Jianfeng's assassination, whether it was the first time he attacked Xu Jingming, or the strong duel between the two. Or later, the assassination of the archer Wang Yi, killing the archer first, and then replacing Master Dong Xu, all surprised us."

"And the archer Wang Yi, don't give her a chance, as long as there's a little chance, there's no escape! Lian Shuang was killed by her cold arrow. The female war god Sun Yuting was also shot and killed after being knocked away by Xu Jingming."

"Of course, the most dazzling are Xu Jingming and Gao Chong."

"Gao Chong, killed the boxing champion Wu Sai and the panda Zhang Qian! Then confronted Xu Jingming head-on," the host said. "Xu Jingming first cooperated with his teammates to kill Sun Yuting, killed Wang Qiao one-on-one, and then had the final showdown with Gao Chong."

"The duel between the two was also the most hearty and incisive fight in this competition, and the final fatal blow… also surprised us," Liu Xin said.

"Except for Wu Sai, who suffered a bit because he lacked experience in cold weapons, the others were very experienced," Huang Yong said. "This battle is definitely worth watching repeatedly!"

As this God-level battle came to an end, people in the stands began to gradually leave.

The number of viewers quickly dropped from eight hundred million to seven hundred million, six hundred million…
