Chapter 50: Third Rank

Martial Arts Championships for five years straight. Five championships, all within the top three in the world! After taking first place in the fifth championship, he retired and later became the head..."A hundred meters away, a spear plunged into the boss's body" bodyguard A Yong looked at Cheng Zihao hanging on the city wall, still unable to believe it. He had been focused on resisting Kong Jie's arrows and helping deal with Li Miaomiao, he hadn't expected Xu Jingming to throw a spear from afar.

A spear so long, flying so far

Still so accurate

"I, I..." Cheng Zihou looked down at the long spear piercing his abdomen. How did he end up hanging like this on the city wall

How did it come to this

This is completely different from what I had planned!

"Cheng Zihao!" a crisp voice rang out.

Cheng Zihao looked up, and it was Li Miaomiao staring at him with a cold expression. Li Miaomiao was hopping on one leg, which seemed somewhat comical, but her jumping power was pretty good. She hopped a few steps and then launched a thrusting sword attack. This swordsmanship was taught to her by Xu Jingming himself.

"No—" Cheng Zihou's eyes widened, the sword coming at him in an instant, already piercing his brow.

His figure vanished into thin air, disappearing completely.

Li Miao landed with a stumble, needing to grab onto the nearby city wall for support. She broke into a happy smile and addressed the livestream audience: "Did you see that That's what a comeback looks like! Cheng Zihou, in the end, I was still killed by his sword! Of course, the biggest credit goes to that flying spear."

On the other side, Sister Kong pressed close and shot arrows at bodyguard Ah Yong one after another.

Sister Kong's archery skills far surpass Xiao Zeng's, she is a true daylight-level archer.

"His archery…" A-Yong was forced to retreat, for the distance gave him enough time to defend and dodge.

While retreating under pressure, bodyguard A Yong was also somewhat bewildered.

The boss and the other three masters are all done, only he is left as a bodyguard, what should be done

Suddenly, the bodyguard, Ah Yong, saw Xu Jingming walking over from afar. His eyes lit up instantly.

"Xu Jingming, unarmed and without any weapons" bodyguard Ah Yong felt his heart stir. "I've got a large shield in one hand and a great axe in the other. Even if he were ten times stronger than me, my chances of winning would be quite high!"

Xu Jingming walked calmly toward the bodyguard A Yong, but his eyes were still bloodshot.

"Xu Jingming!" As they drew closer, bodyguard A Yong charged forward, shield held high, simultaneously wielding his axe.

Phew!

Xu Jingming's figure blurred.

Bodyguard Ah Yong's eyes widened. His left shield and right axe hadn't even touched the enemy, yet his throat was already pulverized, and his body began to fade into a shadow, dissipating on the ancient battlefield.

At the moment when the bodyguard charged forward and swung his axe, Xu Jingming merely dodged with a flash and struck back with a palm strike from his right hand.

With a knife as fast as lightning, he slashed at bodyguard Ah Yong's throat, shattering it.

"Hands can also be weapons." Xu Jingming looked at bodyguard A Yong vanish. When speed and strength are sufficient, even a palm can cleave gold and shatter stone.

At this moment, Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao who was seriously injured, Xiao Zeng lying there, and Kong Jie holding her bow and arrow, all smiled and began to fade away from the battlefield.

The match is over.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao's side wins!

……

Within the combat space.

The five players on Cheng Zihao's losing side are here. The game system automatically settles the match, and they all lose a star.

Cheng Zihao naturally didn't care about these things.

"I've been humiliated this time." Cheng Zihou gritted his teeth, "Shot to the wall by Xu Jingming and killed with a sword by Li Miaomiao! It's truly my shame!"

“Boss, don’t take it too hard. There are countless battles in the virtual world every day. Even we top players often get killed. Besides global number one Liu Hai, who dares to say they've never lost” Zheng Bolong said, “Victory and defeat are commonplace for soldiers. All kinds of entrepreneurs, all kinds of stars, have been killed in virtual world battles! Boss, besides yourself, no one will care too much. At most, they’ll talk about it for a couple of sentences and forget!”

"I lost so badly this time. And I lost to that pair of dog men and women, Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao." Cheng Zihou gritted his teeth.

Zheng Bailong, Teng Ya, Lei Wenqing, and bodyguard A Yong all muttered to themselves in private.

"Brother Long, how could you guys lose this time" Cheng Zihao looked at Zheng Bailong, "With the current top fighters in Xia Guo, you're considered the second tier. You and Lao Lei teamed up, how could you lose to Xu Jingming"

"This..." Zheng Beilong frowned.

"Captain, you and Lao Lei teamed up. Xu Jingming was injured at the time. How could he be overturned" The sharpshooter Teng Ya also said.

"Lei Wenqing questioned, "It was very strange at the time. Xu Jingming's eyes were bloodshot, his forehead was bleeding, and his whole body was flushed red. His state seemed a little strange, like he was possessed, crazy. His strength and speed increased a lot, and he actually shot me dead with one punch."

"Yes, he's become much stronger and faster, far surpassing me. I managed to block several of his attacks, but in the end, he killed me." Zheng Bolong was also puzzled.

"Legendary combat techniques, third-tier level" Cheng Zihao said.

"At present, in the entire Xia Kingdom, only Liu Hai, Lei Yunfang, and Zhou Yi have reached the third-order combat skills. When the three of them fight, they are very calm, and their moves are extremely sharp and terrifying. They are not as frenzied as Xu Jingming." Zheng Bolong wondered.

"Xu Jingming was stimulated, his spirit went crazy, his strength temporarily erupted more fiercely, or did he truly reach the third rank" Lei Wenqing also spoke.

“Let’s see how he performs in future battles. If he continues to be this monstrously powerful for the long term, then he might truly be a third-tier expert,” Zheng Bolong said with a frown. “But with so many top experts worldwide stuck at the second-tier limit, I think reaching third tier is not that easy. Xu Jingming is young, and I feel like his performance was more of a temporary outburst triggered by mental stimulation.”

Cheng Zihou couldn't help but say, "I don't care what the reason is, this time we lost so badly. In a few days, it's the Huǒzhīng Cup competition, and it will be broadcast live across the country! The heat will be unprecedented. Don't make any more mistakes then."

Zheng Bolong and Lei Wenqing looked at each other.

They have fought against Xu Jingming when he was at his peak, and they all feel a little tense.

The Fireseed Cup competition, if you encounter Xu Jingming, can you stop him

……

On the other side, Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao along with three others were also in the combat space, and the game system was settling the results.

"Beautiful, Xiaqing, you did great! You single-handedly took down that archer." Li Miaomiao was ecstatic. "Xiao Zeng, Sister Kong, you both also did a good job protecting us. Of course, the most crucial part was Jingming!"

Li Miao Miao's eyes were shining, she was so excited.

Seeing Cheng Zihao shot through and hanging on the city wall, she only felt that the previous grievances and anger were released most of it. When she stabbed Cheng Zihao's brow with her own sword, she felt extremely refreshing and happy.

"Jingming, you're amazing!" Li Miaomiao couldn't help but leap and jump onto Xu Jingming's body, like a cat, hugging him tightly.

"Brother-in-law is awesome!"

"Wow, your brother-in-law is amazing! He can even make this take off"

"Injured, one person can kill Zheng Bailong and Lei Wenqing Too strong, right"

“Did your brother-in-law just go all out Wow, he's practically a demigod, his eyes are even red.”

“It must have been a complete bodily eruption, with blood flowing too fast. His eyes were bloodshot, and I bet all the capillaries in his body burst.”

"Li Maomao, you must hold onto your brother-in-law! Such a powerful brother-in-law is definitely the strongest brother-in-law on the entire internet!"

"Strong thighs, hold on tight."

HUG MY BROTHER-IN-LAW!

Countless comments popped up, and donations kept flowing in. The live stream's popularity was skyrocketing.

At this moment, Xu Jingming gently patted Li Miaomiao's head: "Miaomiao, I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go into seclusion. I won't be able to accompany you in the fight any longer."

"Oh." Li Miao Miao woke up in surprise. "If you have an emergency, go quickly."

Xu Jingming nodded and also nodded to Dai Xiaoqing and the others: "I have something to do, I'll retire first."

Immediately withdrew from the battle space.

……

Xu Jingming returned to his personal training space and opened his personal combat power panel.
