Chapter 54 All Three Together

"The remaining three of you, come at me together." Xu Jingming looked at the three remaining virtual experts, all with a base combat power of 10,000, specializing in various weapons.

He watched as the three experts attacked 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 sword lights flashed, and all three experts transformed into phantoms and disappeared.

"Please watch the slow-motion video." Xu Jingming stopped and calmly pointed to the slow-motion video that appeared beside him. "When facing a siege, never stay in place as a target; you need to move at high speed. The main reason I can easily close in on opponents is that my footwork gives me a significant advantage. Footwork... is the content of the next lesson. Today, you only need to watch my swordplay."

"These three strikes are respectively, a thrust, a point, and a slash. You see the different sword techniques, but they all have the longest start-up time." Xu Jingming pointed at the slow-motion video.

"The start-up time accounts for roughly 60% to 80% of the time it takes to execute a sword strike," Xu Jingming said. "Any weapon has the slowest start-up speed."

"Even a car is slowest when starting the engine. A person running is also slowest when starting," Xu Jingming said. "Therefore, we need to deliberately train our start-up speed to make it as fast as possible."

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

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

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

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

"After completing nine lessons, you can expect to reach the Tier Three level."

"As for Tier Four? My martial arts course will also provide some guidance for exploration," Xu Jingming said as he closed the live broadcast.

Countless viewers were still listening, reflecting, and savoring the lessons.

"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 give a reward, but it's over. No chance."

The viewers chattered.

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

"Yes, I have a goal now."

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

"Targeting the enemy's nerve reaction limit?"

Countless people had various thoughts, gaining a new understanding of combat.

...

Liu Hai, in the stands, revealed a smile: "The first and second martial arts lessons that Jingming lectured on are indeed the basics! But he explained it from another angle, making it easier for educated people to understand the essence. Once they understand the essence, they have a direction when learning."

"However, now he has only lectured on the power and speed of moves. I want to see how Jingming will lecture on other aspects of martial arts." Liu Hai had been teaching people his entire life and was quite expectant of Xu Jingming's teaching methods.

...

"So it can be this simple?"

Tiger Fussen, sitting in the stands like a huge bear, stroked his chin. "Greater mass, greater speed? I knew the importance of mass and speed a long time ago, but it turns out 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 Fussen muttered to himself. "Speed of execution? No wonder I always suppress people with force, and it's difficult to make opponents unable to react! It turns out it's because my great axe takes time to swing, and my execution can't be faster than the nerve reaction limit of opponents of the same level."

Tiger Fussen mostly followed his instincts and combat intuition.

Now, after Xu Jingming's lecture, he also had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"Although this lesson is basic, it's worth a reward of ten thousand yuan." Tiger Fussen stood up. "Since the live broadcast is closed, you can't blame me for not giving a reward."

Standing up, Tiger Fussen 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 lecturing on 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 level and Sun Radiance level 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 can understand it." Cheng Zihao in the stands also felt that he had gained quite a bit.

"Just one lesson, with global viewers gathering, and the highest number of online viewers exceeding 2.9 billion?" Cheng Zihao only felt envious, jealous, and hateful. "Xu Jingming just shut down the live broadcast after such a popular broadcast. 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, including all the other streamers, is far from being comparable to Xu Jingming's live broadcast," Cheng Zihao only felt uncomfortable.

"Boss."

Zhou Feng appeared to 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 on 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, investing early on, and he was happy when the company's valuation soared all the way. Now that the company is encountering difficulties, he wants to withdraw? He can withdraw, but he can find the next buyer himself! I've never stopped him from selling his shares. Let me buy it? He's dreaming!"

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

"Ignore him. I have no obligation to repurchase his shares," Cheng Zihao frowned. "I'm annoyed, and 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, Di Tiannuo, and Xu Jingming, whose popularity will be outrageously high, the other ninety-seven people will also have relatively high popularity... These hundred people take up too much traffic. For example, Xu Jingming's live broadcast just now, with the highest number of online viewers exceeding 2.9 billion, probably half of the people in the world watching the live broadcast were watching his live broadcast. This is too crazy."

"Maybe it's because it's his first live broadcast," Cheng Zihao said.

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

"I know," Cheng Zihao frowned.

"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down," Zhou Feng said. "Boss, the company is declining, and many crises are coming. Boss, you have to be prepared to deal with them."

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

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

"The competition was already fierce before, and the company's days were not good. Now that the entire industry is declining... the company is even more troublesome. Now there are even shareholders who want to withdraw." Zhou Feng was also quite troubled. He watched all this happen and had no way to solve the crisis.

...

After finishing the lecture.

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

"Jingming, how long do you think it will take?" Li Miaomiao said, standing to the side.

"The practice methods and demonstration videos are very 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 more relaxed.

The two cooperated and spent three hours finally completing 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 once and nodded. "I didn't find any problems. How do you feel?"

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

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

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

Looking at the readers' reactions, they feel that the martial arts courses are not exciting enough. Alas, in fact, Tomato put a lot of effort into the nine martial arts lessons. Since you don't think it's exciting enough, I'll simply skip over the other seven lessons later.
