Personal space training grounds.

Xu Jingming glanced at his personal combat power panel and nodded slightly, "About what I expected. The battle with Senior Lei Yunfang under extreme pressure has been a great help to both my spearmanship and footwork."

Spearmanship had increased to Tier 3, 48%, and footwork to Tier 3, 9%.

"I'll try the Star Tower again." The fact that a seventh expert worldwide had cleared the third level of the Star Tower made Xu Jingming's heart burn with ambition, and he was full of fighting spirit.

However, a moment later, Xu Jingming returned to the training ground.

"Although I performed slightly better than last time, I'm still not quite there to kill the Tiger King." Xu Jingming also realized more and more, "There is still a clear gap between me and those experts on the rankings."

With a gentle tap, he opened the video of his semi-final battle.

He watched the slow-motion replay of his fight with Lei Yunfang in detail, studying every move and stance, finding his weaknesses, and striving to improve himself.

…

Time passed. Although he had won the semi-final, Xu Jingming obviously did not celebrate much, but was immersed in cultivation, pursuing his combat skills to be higher and stronger.

Night fell, and it was after eight in the evening.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were in the living room, eating fruit and watching a light screen program, chatting casually. This was also their time to enjoy each other's company.

"Today's programs are all talking about the Star Rankings." Xu Jingming switched to the main program page and couldn't help but sigh, "Tonight is the finals of the Spark Cup, and the number of programs discussing the Star Rankings is no less than the number discussing the finals."

Li Miaomiao nodded, "After all, the Star Tower has been open for so long, and only seven people worldwide have cleared the third level. Every time someone clears it, it's a global event."

"To be on the Star Rankings is to be truly known globally," Xu Jingming said.

The Spark Cup is only a national event.

Just like he didn't watch the events held in other countries, other countries didn't watch the Spark Cup.

"Riven Gullit, those two warhammers, each one is bigger than a person's head. They're practically two small shields." The host in the program was explaining the video, sighing and saying, "Wearing heavy armor, he only needs to protect his head. With the two warhammers… no one can threaten him at all. When he uses his warhammers, it's much fiercer than Xu Jingming's shield techniques."

"Xu Jingming is fierce, but no matter how fierce he is, the weapons are still very different. Shields are mainly for defense, and warhammers are the real heavy weapons," the female host also said.

That warhammer had a sharp point.

Chopping, smashing, stabbing, sweeping, all kinds of movements were extremely terrifying.

"The Roman country also has archers at the third tier, but Riven Gullit defends flawlessly. He even has a flying axe skill, and with one flying axe, he finished off that archer." The male host praised. In the video, Riven Gullit was holding a warhammer in one hand to block arrows, took out a hand axe from his waist, and quickly flung it. The hand axe spun and flew out like a phantom, and its speed was probably sonic.

"His strength is no less than Fang Yu's," Xu Jingming said to Li Miaomiao, "Even in terms of combat skills, he's stronger than Fang Yu."

After all, he was a veteran who had fought in the World Martial Arts Competition for many years. Although he was only three years older than Xu Jingming, he had much more experience in the competition than Xu Jingming.

"As expected of someone who has cleared the Star Tower," the male host praised, "It's almost impossible to find a flaw. His coordination with the two warhammers is too good. If Xu Jingming's defense was so strong, he wouldn't have been suppressed by Lei Yunfang like that."

"Xu Jingming is already good, at least he held on for so long," the female host said, "It's because he held on for so long that the match took a turn."

"His spear was breached many times, and he barely held on by using a pair of arm guards as small shields," the male host said, "Xu Jingming's spear skills still need to be improved. Otherwise, he won't be able to defeat these top experts in the world."

"After all, he's already on the Star Rankings, so of course he's stronger than Xu Jingming," the female host said with a smile, "Don't always talk about Xu Jingming like that, he's already very good."

"I'm just anxious! Xu Jingming should be the only one in our country who is second only to Liu Hai and Lei Yunfang. He is also the most promising to clear the Star Tower right now," the male host said, "Seeing experts from other countries on the rankings, and no new people from our country, it's worrying."

"In any case, we Xia country occupies two of the top five in the world, which is already amazing," the female host said.

"Don't rest on past achievements. One of us on the list is in their seventies, and the other is in their fifties," the male host said, "What about the young people? Tiano Xire is only twenty years old, and the current Riven Gullit is only thirty-two years old. What about the young people in our Xia country? Young people have less time to cultivate, so it's easier to see their potential."

The female host nodded slightly, "The more prominent young people in the country are Xu Jingming and Fang Yu."

"I wonder when a young person from our country will make it onto the Star Rankings," the male host said expectantly.

Watching the program.

Xu Jingming also felt the eagerness of the people of Xia.

"Three days!" Xu Jingming said, "Within three days, if my spearmanship and footwork improve a little more, I should be able to clear the Star Tower."

Li Miaomiao hugged her boyfriend's arm and comforted him, "Don't pay too much attention to the pressure from society, just follow your own rhythm. You're already very hardworking, and you've also said that cultivation is a natural thing, and it's the most enjoyable thing. Don't let something that's enjoyable become something that's stressful."

Xu Jingming looked at his girlfriend and nodded with a smile.

He loved martial arts, and he was on this path because he enjoyed it.

…

Late at night, in the virtual world's Xia country official live broadcast room, viewers were constantly pouring in.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also came to the live broadcast room.

"Captain."

"Lao Xu."

The other team members were all smiling.

"Sister Yi came so early?" Xu Jingming saw Wang Yi, and thought she would be the last to arrive.

"I practiced all day, and I'm relaxing a bit too," Wang Yi said with a smile, "I finally didn't let everyone down. An hour ago, my evolutionary method just broke through."

"Sister Yi is awesome," Li Miaomiao said, her eyes lighting up.

"Breaking through in one day after Tier 3 archery?" Xu Jingming also praised, "Amazing."

He had also broken through his evolutionary method after his spearmanship broke through, taking more than a day. Of course, he didn't have the pressure of the finals coming up, so he was more relaxed.

"Captain, your experience was very useful. I tried again and again to mobilize my body more deeply to practice the evolutionary method, and finally succeeded." Wang Yi was also happy, "That way, I can cooperate with you, Captain, and have a good fight with Coach Liu Hai."

"If we coast to the championship…" Heng Fang was delighted.

"Either we coast to the championship," Li Miaomiao said with a smile, "Or Uncle and the others coast to the championship."

Xu Jingming laughed when he heard that.

That's right.

His father was on another team.

"Today, our Xu family is definitely going to have a champion member," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Son!" Just as he mentioned his father, Xu Hong and his wife appeared together. Xu Hong grinned and smiled happily, "Both of us father and son are in the finals, haha, I really didn't dare to think about it before."

His son's achievements made Xu Hong very happy.

As parents, their greatest hope is for their children to succeed.

"Son," Xu's mother said immediately, "Just go for your dad when the time comes, it's the virtual world anyway, it doesn't matter."

"Bring it on." Xu Hong said confidently, "If I fall, there's still your master Liu Hai!"

"You're really coasting to victory," Xu's mother shook her head.

"You can only coast to victory with a good son," Xu Hong laughed, "If it weren't for my son, I wouldn't have met Liu Hai."

…

As time passed, all kinds of people came to the live broadcast room.

"This Xu Jingming, he's made it to the finals? After the virtual world opened, my career soared. Why do I feel like his rise is faster than mine?" Cheng Zihao sat in the stands, feeling quite awkward.

Sun Li also came to the stands alone at this moment. He didn't gather with any friends and watched silently, "Xu Jingming's team has made it to the finals… could it be that he can win the championship? I'm clearly also a member of the team!"

He didn't feel anything when other teams won.

But the more the Pearwood Team won, the more he felt like he had 'missed too much', fame, bonuses, and even future development prospects.

…

The director of the Life Evolution Bureau, Director Zhou, and the four deputy directors were also in the stands, watching the upcoming finals.

"Director, we Xia country is a bit behind in the younger generation," the female deputy director said, "The promising young people we're paying attention to are a bit behind other countries."

Director Zhou said, "We need to be patient."

"Lao Wang, Liang Qian, you two get ready." Director Zhou looked at a message, "The envoys from the member countries of the Blue Star Alliance are arriving. You two come with me to greet them."

Soon, in one part of the stands.

A Blue Star Alliance envoy delegation of dozens of people arrived. They came from the other 31 member countries.

"Welcome to Xia country." Director Zhou led two deputy directors to greet them.

This was not an official visit, so Director Zhou was responsible for the reception.

In fact, the major competitions of the five permanent member states of the Blue Star Alliance were attended by envoy delegations.

"Zhou, hello." The white elder in the lead smiled, "I heard that your Xia country's finals, one side is Liu Hai, the world's number one, and the other side is two young experts from your Xia country. When our envoy delegations gathered, they were all talking about it, and they are also very excited about the strength of your young generation."

"The stronger the younger generation of Xia, the stronger the younger generation of our entire Blue Star Alliance," an envoy from Sakura country said with a smile.
