Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi

Chapter 14 True Cold Weapon Combat

"You can slowly explore the functions of the training ground," said the man in the blue shirt beside him. "Next, I want to tell you about the battle space of the entire game world."

Xu Jingming nodded.

The Life Evolution World is mainly divided into three major sections: personal space, mission space, and battle space.

"Hua."

The man in the blue shirt waved his hand.

A scene appeared in front of them, showing five figures choosing weapons and armor.

"Battle space is where five people choose weapons and armor... then enter a map and engage in a life-and-death struggle with five enemies, until one side is completely wiped out, and the other side wins."

As the man in the blue shirt spoke, he waved his hand again, and the scene changed to an ancient town.

In the town, a drizzle fell.

A total of ten people were scattered throughout the town.

"Shui."

An arrow pierced through the rain, shooting towards an enemy. The enemy hiding on the roof sensed something was wrong and turned to look, but the arrow was too fast, and the enemy didn't have time to react. *Pfft!* An arrow pierced through the enemy's head. The moment it pierced, the enemy turned into a phantom and disappeared, exiting the map.

"Kill!" A robust man sprinted out, heading straight for the archer who had fired the hidden arrow, while simultaneously throwing a short spear.

One short spear after another was thrown! He carried two full back-sacks of short spears.

The archer was terrified, running and firing arrows back, but obviously, in his panic, shooting at a moving target, he wasn't accurate at all and didn't hit the opponent.

*Pfft.* Halfway through his escape, he was pierced through the chest by a short spear, even his leather armor was penetrated, and the archer turned into a phantom and disappeared.

"You're all only good at long-range attacks. How boring," a tall, sturdy man, two meters and one in height, wearing heavy armor all over, with only his head exposed, sat in the center of the town, drinking from a wine jar, his voice echoing throughout the town. "Anyone got the guts to come and face me one-on-one?"

"You big oaf, I'll come and meet you," a female swordswoman wearing red light armor strode out.



The cold weapon battle scene before him, arrows, short spears, great axes, long spears, sharp swords... made Xu Jingming's blood boil. The most dangerous combat mode he had pursued in martial arts weapon fighting for the past twenty years was the scene before him!

"Real-life martial arts weapon fighting has all sorts of safety measures. How can it be as satisfying as this?" Xu Jingming watched excitedly, this was the stage most suitable for him.

"Battle space is where five teammates engage in cold weapon combat with another five opponents," the man in the blue shirt said. "You can choose heavy armor, but your movements will be greatly affected. If you choose light soft armor, your defense will be weaker. There are trade-offs."

"Long-range attacks, close combat, ambushes..." the man in the blue shirt said with a smile, "Because the game has just started, the battle level is relatively weak. This battle is a decent one that was just streamed, but there are still many problems. In a five-on-five battle, teamwork is even more important."

"Of course, if you're strong enough to take out all five opponents by yourself, then you're amazing," the man in the blue shirt said with a smile. "But high-level battles are all among the top experts on the entire Blue Star. Cold weapon combat skills, combat strategy, and teammate cooperation are all very important."

Xu Jingming nodded. "Five against five? No one-on-one?"

"Not for now."

The man in the blue shirt said, "The core game mode set in this virtual game is five-person teams engaging in cold weapon combat."

Xu Jingming understood, his eyes burning with passion.

Isn't this kind of cold weapon combat scene what every professional martial arts athlete dreams of? And the best part is that in the game, dying is just a game failure.

"Each player is also divided into levels according to their strength," said the man in the blue shirt. "The weakest is the Fanxing (Starlight) level, one step higher is the Yinyue (Silver Moon) level, and then the Yaori (Sun Glory) level! The highest is the Shen (God) level."

"Fanxing level players are novice players."

"Yinyue level players have a basic combat power threshold of 150."

"Yaori level players have a basic combat power threshold of 400."

"Shen level players have a basic combat power threshold of 1000."

"To improve your level, there are two ways. One is to reach full stars in the previous level and reach the basic combat power threshold to upgrade. The other is to reach 120% of the basic combat power threshold and directly participate in the level placement matches. By passing the level placement matches... you can directly reach the new level."

"For example, a novice player with a basic combat power of 480 can participate in the Yaori level placement matches in their first battle. Once they pass, they will directly become a Yaori level player, without having to rise from the Fanxing level step by step," the man in the blue shirt explained.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and looked at his personal combat power panel.

Player: Xu Jingming

Gene Evolution Method: *Tian Mang Jin Hua Fa* (Heavenly Python Evolution Method) (Initial stage 5%) (Practice time 982 days, cannot be improved)

Body: 63

Skills: Spear Technique (Second Order 71%), Footwork (Second Order 11%)

Basic Combat Power: 756

"My spear technique and footwork?" Xu Jingming was a little surprised.

"Earlier, when you practiced spear technique in the training ground, the virtual game automatically identified your level of spear technique and footwork," the man in the blue shirt explained.

"How is the basic combat power of 756 calculated?" Xu Jingming asked.

"The stronger your body, the higher your body index. Skills are various combat techniques. A powerful body, combined with powerful combat techniques, determines your basic combat power," the man in the blue shirt explained.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and looked at the spear technique on the panel, spear technique being what he was most confident in: "The spear technique of the top ten in global history is only Second Order 71%?"

"Spear technique must be honed in actual combat to slowly improve. It's not that easy. On the other hand, I've only practiced the *Tian Mang Jin Hua Fa* once, and there's still a lot of room for improvement," Xu Jingming began to practice again.

He practiced the *Tian Mang Jin Hua Fa* again and again, the game guide, the man in the blue shirt, silently staying aside.

After practicing for a long time,

"Li Miaomiao is inviting you," he suddenly received a notification.

Xu Jingming also stopped, he was also a little tired from practicing, he clicked lightly and accepted the invitation.

*Swoosh.*

Xu Jingming appeared on the beach, and in front of him was a beautiful building. Li Miaomiao walked barefoot on the beach and said with a smile, "Jingming, what do you think? This whole island is mine."

"How much did it cost?" Xu Jingming asked with a smile.

"One hundred thousand," Li Miaomiao said. "I specifically chose a small island, otherwise it would be even more expensive."

"It's been six hours since we entered the game, you've probably figured out the game, right? Have you watched the streams?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"Not yet," Xu Jingming said. He had been practicing the *Tian Mang Jin Hua Fa* diligently. As a professional martial arts athlete, it was normal for him to practice stance work and various moves for several hours. The *Tian Mang Jin Hua Fa* was much more powerful than any stance work. It fundamentally changed muscles and bones, and the life level changed, doubling the lifespan. He was naturally fanatic and focused on it.

"You must watch the streams," Li Miaomiao said, leading Xu Jingming to open the viewing platform.

The viewing platform had a large number of live broadcast scenes.

"Streaming is so popular," Li Miaomiao said, then clicked on one.

An old man was sitting there, talking eloquently.

There were countless seats below, and hundreds of people were listening. Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also appeared out of thin air, sitting in two seats. *Hua,* some viewers disappeared and left. Going back and forth was normal.

The old man sitting above said: "With every revolutionary technology, human society will change, and this is also when many people change their destiny. And this time, the birth of the virtual world game will bring more thorough changes than in the past. For example, streaming... in the past, streaming was watching videos. Now, I'm speaking above, and everyone is listening below. We can even have one-on-one close-range interaction."

"The training ground can be set up with any scene. So the scene can be set as a study, a stage, or a concert hall."

"This will completely change the streaming market and also change the education market. This is an incredibly vast industry," the old man said.

"Let's go."

Li Miaomiao disappeared with Xu Jingming, and other players entered the live stream room.

In another live stream room.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao appeared out of thin air. They sat in the virtual seats, with hundreds of players watching. In front of them was a snowy field.

In the snowy field, ten people were engaging in a life-and-death struggle with cold weapons.

"We can watch the battle in the snowfield from the outside and bring our own scopes to magnify the distant battle scene," Li Miaomiao said. Xu Jingming tried to click, and one of the battle scenes quickly magnified.

Pulled to the closest distance, it was as if they were three meters away, watching others fight.

"*Clang.*" A woman blocked an axe with a shield in her left hand, and a sword in her right hand pierced into the enemy's throat, the enemy turned into a phantom and disappeared, exiting the map.

"This is so exciting," Xu Jingming said in amazement.

The World Martial Arts Competition wasn't so real and exciting.

"This is real streaming," Li Miaomiao said with emotion. "Listening to songs is sitting below listening to the singer sing on stage. Taking classes is sitting in a seat listening to the teacher teach. Watching battles is being there, watching up close."
