Chapter 31: Difficulty Increases

Realm, he presented a treasure from the Third Realm, 'Eight Thousand Star Rivers', which greatly strengthened Wanshang Island. Xu Jingming naturally remembered this deeply. 。When Xu Jingming traversed...After Xu Jingming appeared, countless audiences cheered. 。Since the opening of the virtual world, Xu Jingming's fame has been rising steadily! Now not only are people in Xia Guo, but also fans all over the world are following Xu Jingming in droves. They enthusiastically support him, and many even believe that based on his growth rate, Xu Jingming should have already surpassed Liu Hai and Tiya Nuo. 。Xu Jingming 。"Merit said solemnly, 'I know I'm not your opponent, but I will do my best.'" 。I'm looking forward to your swordsmanship. 。"Xu Jingming smiled faintly. He was kind to every Blue Star expert, because in the vast starry sky, they would all be his companions." 。Merit, wielding twin blades, rushed forward with blinding speed. Her footwork shifted in unpredictable patterns as she advanced, her assault path a serpentine curve that brought her within striking distance in an instant. 。

"Dang" 。。Xu Jingming held a gun in one hand, the long spear thrust forward and landed on Merritt's sword. Power flowed through the weapons, affecting Merritt's movements. 。

Every time it was just a light touch! No matter how skilled Merritt's footwork was, he couldn't get close at all. Every time he was touched by the tip of the gun. 。

Firing nine shots in succession, the suppression power grew stronger. 。My swordsmanship is too slow. Xu Jingming uses his spear to thrust, not to block and deflect like I do. 。"Meritt was starting to feel suffocated, "My swordsmanship has to be faster, faster, FASTER!"

Xu Jingming's pressure was increasing with every passing moment, each attack a single-handed spear thrust. On the sixteenth strike, he finally pierced Meritt's chest. 。

"I lost" 。At this moment, Merritt actually felt a sense of relief. 。

Admit defeat gracefully 。Thank you 。Merit felt like she had just been baptized. 。Xu Jingming nodded slightly and also secretly sighed. He was trying his best to hone his opponent, constantly increasing the pressure on them, but obviously... it was too difficult for his opponent to break through to the fifth rank. 。"See that" guest Owen pointed to the slow-motion combat scene, "Since Xu Jingming fired his first shot, he fired sixteen shots in a row without moving an inch! He stood there the whole time! His long gun has a limited attack range when standing still" 。Strangely enough... Merritt had not moved out of the spear's attack range. He could have simply taken two steps back to escape it. 。He couldn't back out. 。“The male guest Jin Fan shook his head. “Look closely, every time he was pierced by the long spear, Merritt’s body trembled slightly. Obviously, there was a force influencing his whole body. He didn't have time to retreat, and the second shot came! Xu Jingming's pressure was too strong… And each shot also affected Merritt's body. It wasn't that Merritt didn't want to retreat, but he couldn't. His body was controlled by the entire battle.” 。"Is he being controlled" The female host and two other guests observed carefully and also noticed this. 。"Control an opponent's body Jing Ming has learned this move too" Liu Hai chuckled at the scene. Of course, this was something he could do when he was at his peak in the fourth rank, and now his realm was even higher. 。"The entire fight was just single-handed thrusts, controlling the opponent with thrusting "Tiaiano looked at him in surprise, “That level of control over strength I can't even achieve. Though, that’s not really my specialty anyway." 。"Compared to Gulit... Xu Jingming is much stronger! This is a truly exciting opponent. I can hardly wait!"

...

Xu Jingming's overwhelming power and control are not surprising at all to the over fifty billion viewers in the live stream! In the eyes of people around the world, Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, and Tia Yano should naturally be far ahead of everyone else, displaying incredible and unimaginable fighting techniques is perfectly normal. 。The seventh match pits Haru*Singh of Tian Zhu against Fang Yu of Xia. 。The female host was introducing... 。

"Whoosh" 。Haru Singh's blade, a glint of silver, sliced across Fang Yu's chest. 。The battle is over. 。Even remaining at the fourth-order limit, 'Fangyu' , despite having a high compatibility with the evolution contract, was completely helpless when facing Haru * Singh who had fully reached the fifth order. Haru * Singh drew three swords, and with the third strike, he killed Fangyu. 。"Looking at the world, there are still many people who are better than me." 。"Fang Yu wasn't discouraged, instead, he felt that there were many goals for him to surpass. "Compared to Haru Singh, my mental fortitude should be weaker and needs to be further tempered." 。"Haru"

"Haru" 。。In the country of India, countless people cheered in unison. For a moment, the word "Haru" swept across the entire official livestream. Haru *Singh is the only player from India to reach the top eight, and the Indian people now ardently worship Haru *Singh. 。Haru Singh smiled in response to the cheers of the crowd. After falling into the abyss, he stood on top again. He could face all the glory calmly. 。The eighth and final match of the day is between the White Eagle Federation's Tiger * Forsen and Akynlov. 。The female host is full of anticipation. 。

In the forest map 。Tiger *Farson smiled and let Alginoff attack, the fifth-order Alginoff, his evolution method was still not complete. His frenzied attacks, Tiger *Farson easily parried with his two axes. 。

"I'm going to attack!"> 。 。Wow!

Then came a blow!

This blow was like lightning, splitting heaven and earth, cleaving through Akinlof. Akinlof was instantly reduced to nothingness.

"This ax" Xu Jingming's face changed slightly. When he saw the ax, he felt a huge threat. 。"Hmm" Tyana's face lost its playful smile, replaced by a look of seriousness. "Tyger *Forson is stronger than I anticipated." 。"Could strength overcome cunning" Liu Hai also took it seriously. This axe was the first time since the competition began that Liu Hai truly felt a huge threat. 。Ye Shilova was originally watching the match with a smile, but seeing this ax, she became more serious: "According to the matchup order, my next opponent should be Xu Jingming. After defeating Xu Jingming, my opponent might be Tiger Woods, I can't let him get close." 。Maintain a safe distance and then take him out. 。He was heavily armored, but in terms of agility and speed, I still had the upper hand. 。My chances of winning against him are at least 60%. 。Ye Sha Luo Wa carefully considered all factors and determined that she had a higher probability of winning. 。The first round of eliminations, with a total of eight matches, has now concluded. 。The female host announced the results, "The eight finalists are Tu Ling, Tyano * Xirey, Liu Hai, Madeline * Logan, Yasha Luo, Xu Jingming, Haru * Singh, and Tege * Fosen." 。The countless viewers in the live room, some were cheering, and some were sighing. 。For example, the Roman Empire, one of the three major powers on Blue Star, has a strong martial arts culture and many masters. However, this time no one was able to advance to the top eight. 。Among the eight finalistsn the soul perfectly mobilize every part of the body''I want to practice shield techniques, the Eight Extremes Shield Technique!'Xu Jingming's eyes burned with fervor, and then he clicked on the panel...
