nChapter 50: Lv. 3

nTranslator: CKtalon

nPiercing his spear into Boss’s body from 100 meters away? The bodyguard, Ah Yong, looked at Cheng Zihao hanging on the wall in disbelief. He had been focused on blocking Sister Kong’s arrow and had wanted to help deal with Li Miaomiao. He never expected Xu Jingming to throw the spear from afar.

nA spear can fly that far? And with such precision?

n“I, I…” Cheng Zihao looked down at the spear that had stabbed into his abdomen. Why was he hanging on the city wall?

nHow did it end up like this?

nThis was completely different from what he had planned!

n“Cheng Zihao!” A clear voice sounded.

nCheng Zihao looked up and saw Li Miaomiao staring at him coldly.

nThe latter hopped over with one leg; it looked ridiculous, but she had ample jumping strength. She stabbed out with a sword technique Xu Jingming had taught her after a few hops.

n“No—” Cheng Zihao’s eyes widened as the sword arrived in front of him and stabbed him right between his brows. His figure then turned ethereal and dissipated.

nLi Miaomiao staggered when she landed, immediately holding the wall beside her and smiling happily. At the same time, she said to the livestream audience, “Did you see that? This is a counter-attack! Cheng Zihao was eventually killed by me with a single strike! Of course, the greatest credit goes to this spear.”

nMeanwhile, Sister Kong approached and shot arrows at Ah Yong.

nStrafe!

nSister Kong’s archery was much better than Xiaozeng’s; she was a real Radiant Sun archer.

nThis archery… Ah Yong was forced to retreat. As he was far away, he had plenty of time to block and dodge. While being forced to retreat, Ah Yong also felt a little lost.

nHis boss and the other three experts were finished; he was a mere bodyguard. What should he do?

nThe bodyguard, Ah Yong, suddenly saw Xu Jingming walking over from afar, and his eyes lit up.

nXu Jingming doesn’t have any weapons with him? Ah Yong was tempted. I have a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. Even if he’s ten times stronger than me, my chances of winning are high!

nXu Jingming calmly walked over to Ah Yong, but his eyes were still red.

n“Xu Jingming!” The moment he approached, Ah Yong raised his shield and charged forward while swinging his ax.

nHu!

nXu Jingming’s figure turned into a blur.

nAh Yong’s eyes widened. The shield in his left hand and the ax in his right hand had yet to touch the enemy, but his throat had shattered.

nHis body began to turn ethereal, and he dissipated from the ancient battlefield.

nThe moment the bodyguard swung his ax forward, Xu Jingming did a simple dodge and chopped with his right hand.

nThe chop was as fast as lightning as it struck Ah Yong’s throat, shattering it.

n“The hand is also a weapon.” Xu Jingming watched the bodyguard, Ah Yong, disappear. When one’s speed and strength were high enough, one’s palm could slice through metal and stone.

nOn the battlefield, Xu Jingming, the seriously injured Li Miaomiao, Xiaozeng, and Sister Kong—who was holding a bow and arrow—smiled. Their bodies then began to turn ethereal as they left the battlefield.

nThe battle ended.

nXu Jingming and Li Miaomiao’s side won!

n…

nIn the battle space.

nThe five people on Cheng Zihao’s side who had lost the match were there. The game system automatically settled their accounts, and they had all lost a star.

nCheng Zihao naturally didn’t care about this.

n“I’ve embarrassed myself big time.” Cheng Zihao gritted his teeth. “I was pinned to the city wall by Xu Jingming and killed by Li Miaomiao with a single strike! What a disgrace!”

n“Boss, don’t mind these things. There are countless battles in the virtual world every day, and even top experts like us are often killed. Other than the world champion, Liu Hai, who dares say that they have never been defeated?” Zheng Bailong said. “Victory and defeat are common in battle. Many entrepreneurs and celebrities are killed in the virtual world! Boss, nobody will pay too much attention to this matter other than yourself. At most, people will just talk a little about it before forgetting it!”

n“I lost terribly this time. Moreover, I lost to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.” Cheng Zihao gritted his teeth.

nZheng Bailong, Teng Ya, Lei Wenqing, and Ah Yong murmured to themselves.

n“Brother Long, how did you lose?” Cheng Zihao looked at Zheng Bailong. “Of the experts in China now, you’re in the second tier. How did you lose to Xu Jingming when you joined forces with Old Lei?”

n“About that…” Zheng Bailong frowned.

n“Captain, Xu Jingming was injured when you joined forces with Old Lei. How did he turn the tables?” Sharpshooter Teng Ya asked.

nLei Wenqing was puzzled. “It was very strange back then. Xu Jingming’s eyes were red, and his forehead was bleeding. His skin was red, and he seemed to be in a strange state. It was as if he had gone mad, and his strength and speed had increased greatly. He actually killed me with a single strike.”

n“Yes, his strength and speed increased greatly, and he was even faster than me. I blocked a few strikes before being killed.” Zheng Bailong was a little puzzled.

n“The legendary Lv. 3 combat technique?” Cheng Zihao said.

n“In all of China, only Liu Hai, Lei Yunfang, and Zhou Yi are confirmed to have Lv. 3 combat techniques. The three of them are very calm in combat and have terrifyingly incisive moves. They don’t show craziness like Xu Jingming did.” Zheng Bailong was puzzled.

n“Did Xu Jingming go crazy from the shock and temporarily increase his strength? Or did he really reach Lv. 3?” Lei Wenqing asked.

n“Let’s see how he fights in the future. If he’s such a monster in the future, it’s probably Lv. 3,” Zheng Bailong said with a frown. “It’s just that many of the world’s top experts are stuck at Lv. 2’s threshold. I don’t think it’s that easy to reach Lv. 3. Xu Jingming is just a young man after all, so I think it’s more like a temporary outburst due to the psychological stimulation.”

nCheng Zihao couldn’t help but say, “I don’t care what the reason is. We lost so badly this time. The Firestarter Cup will be held in a few days, and it will be broadcast live nationwide! The popularity will be unprecedented, so don’t screw up again.”

nZheng Bailong and Lei Wenqing looked at each other.

nHaving fought the rampaging Xu Jingming, their hearts tightened.

nCould they really stop Xu Jingming if they bumped into him at the Firestarter Cup?

n…

nMeanwhile, Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and the other three were also in the combat space. The game system was also settling their scores.

n“Beautiful. Xiaoqing, well done—you killed that sharpshooter in a one-on-one battle.” Li Miaomiao was extremely excited. “Xiaozeng, Sister Kong, the two of you did a good job protecting me. Of course, the most important person is Jingming!”

nLi Miaomiao’s eyes were twinkling as she felt thrilled. She felt that she had vented most of her grievances and anger upon seeing Cheng Zihao pinned to the wall. When she stabbed the latter’s glabella with her sword, she felt even more delighted.

n“Jingming, you’re amazing.” Li Miaomiao couldn’t help but jump onto her boyfriend and hug him like a cat.

n“Brother-in-law is impressive!”

n“Brother-in-law is amazing. You managed to carry them even in that situation?”

n“To be able to kill Zheng Bailong and Lei Wenqing single-handedly despite being injured, you’re way too strong.”

n“Did Brother-in-law undergo S.E.E.D (Superior Evolutionary Element Destined)? Wow, he’s like a god or devil. His eyes were red.”

n“It should be because he unleashed his body completely, and his blood flowed too fast. His eyes became bloodshot, and all the capillaries in his body ruptured.”

n“Cat Li, you have to hold onto Brother-in-law! He’s definitely the strongest Brother-in-law on the Internet!”

n“Cozy up to him. Don’t let him go!”

n“Hold Brother-in-law tight!”

nCountless comments and tips kept appearing, and the livestream became very popular.

nAt this moment, Xu Jingming gently patted his girlfriend on the head. “Miaomiao, I have an urgent matter and need to enter seclusion. I can’t continue fighting with you.”

n“Oh.” Li Miaomiao jolted awake. “Do whatever you need to do. Don’t mind me.”

nXu Jingming nodded and also nodded at Dai Xiaoqing and the others. “I have something on. I’ll make a move first.”

nHe immediately exited the combat space.

n…

nXu Jingming returned to the martial arts arena in his personal space and opened his personal combat strength interface.

nLv. 3 1%? Xu Jingming thought to himself.. The reason he immediately rushed back to the martial arts arena was to solidify that unleashed state and familiarize himself with the force delivery technique while in that state.
