Chapter 16 Opportunity

Cheng Zihou was also in the Xia country official livestream viewing gallery.

After venting for a long time in reality, he learned about the livestream of Xia country's first God-level battle. With his keen business sense, he immediately went online and entered the livestream.

"More than six hundred million viewers?" Cheng Zihou watched in silence. This God-level battle was a visual feast that made countless people's blood boil, amazing them. But Cheng Zihou didn't have any excitement or joy; all he felt was repression, because he had completely fallen from the clouds.

"Such massive traffic is worth so much money." Cheng Zihou looked at the jumping viewer numbers. "Tiger Shark Group has never had so many viewers online at the same time in all these years."

Cheng Zimo was also watching the God-level experts in the livestream. Each of them attracted the attention of countless viewers, including Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was now dazzling, and Cheng Zimo felt very uncomfortable.

He stopped thinking about it and continued to look for business opportunities. "During the livestream, you can give rewards to any player!" He lightly tapped the reward column.

Among the ten God-level experts, the archer Wang Yi ranked first in rewards. After all, she was a beautiful woman, and the scene of her shooting arrows to kill enemies was very cool, so she naturally attracted fans. Her reward amount had reached more than 6.52 million.

The second highest reward went to Elder Liu Jianfeng, with a reward amount of slightly more than 5.5 million.

The female God of War Sun Yuting, Gao Chong, Xu Jingming, and Zhang Qian all had similar reward amounts, all over 3 million.

The rewards for Twin Blades Dong Xu, Blood Axe Wang Qiao, Machete Woman Lian Shuang, and Boxing Champion Wu Sai were relatively low.

"Xu Jingming's reward is ranked fifth?" Cheng Zimo looked at the professional martial arts expert he had interacted with and curled his lips. "So-so."

"The virtual world officials will take half of these rewards!" Cheng Zihou thought. "The officials are really making money. Buying a celestial palace above the clouds in a personal space costs ten million! These are just virtual scenes, but they can be sold for huge profits."

"In the future, humans will spend half of their time in the virtual world every day. The biggest business opportunity is here."

"But how should I tap into the business opportunity?" Cheng Zihou watched the livestream.

At that moment, the hosts Liu Xin, Huang Yong, and Qin Yiwen were narrating the detailed process of Elder Liu Jianfeng's assassination, and Elder Liu Jianfeng's reward amount was still increasing.

******

A small town, drizzling rain.

On the dilapidated stone-paved streets, Gao Chong, Wang Qiao, Xu Jingming, Wu Sai, and Zhang Qian all received notifications that their teammates had died.

"Hahaha." Gao Chong laughed out loud. "The old man is amazing, one for two."

"The old man is awesome." Blood Axe Wang Qiao also laughed, very happy.

They both felt much more relaxed. During the previous battle, they had to maintain the highest level of vigilance at all times, guarding against the terrifying arrows. This took a huge toll on their mental and physical strength.

Now they were relaxed!

"Without the threat of the archer, I can have some fun with you guys." Gao Chong looked at Wu Sai and Zhang Qian in front of him.

"Jingming, don't think that you can do anything to me just because you injured Sun Yuting," Blood Axe Wang Qiao said.

Xu Jingming looked at the pair of shields in his hands. There were marks on the shields, all made by the axe! Sun Yuting's sword couldn't hurt these round shields.

"Bang, bang." Xu Jingming casually threw away the pair of shields. The shields fell to the ground, and at the same time, he reached out and took out the two sections of the spear shaft from his back. With a twist, they were completely locked together.

Xu Jingming held the spear and looked at Blood Axe Wang Qiao.

"Finally using the spear!" Blood Axe Wang Qiao looked at Xu Jingming.

"Senior Brother Wang, I can't deal with you with just the pair of shields," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"Oh? Using the spear will do?" Blood Axe Wang Qiao looked at this young junior brother. Xu Jingming was only eighteen years old when he joined the national team. At that time, Blood Axe Wang Qiao had already retired and occasionally returned to the team to spar with his junior brothers and sisters. However, he was also very clear that this Junior Brother Xu had a very high talent. After all, he was able to reach the stage of the World Martial Arts Competition at the age of twenty.

"At least I'm more confident," Xu Jingming said, while carefully staring at his opponent. Without the help of the archer, he had to go all out to deal with Blood Axe Wang Qiao. After all, the opponent had taken second place in the world and was good at defense!

"Just die!"

Not far away...

Gao Chong was already excited!

He no longer had any worries or concerns and completely let go, first violently sweeping his spear, forcing the panda Zhang Qian to retreat again and again. Then he suddenly strode forward, rushing to Wu Sai, and fiercely thrust his spear towards Wu Sai's head.

Wu Sai raised his shield with both hands to block the spear.

"Buzz."

Originally, it was a forward thrust, but Gao Chong suddenly exerted force in his waist and abdomen, and the forward thrust suddenly turned into a downward chop.

"Bang!" It directly chopped on the edge of the shield, and Wu Sai only felt a pain in his left hand. The shield was directly smashed to the ground, and the stone-paved street cracked.

First smash the shield, and then the spear like a dragon, thrusting in the same direction.

Wu Sai didn't have time to prepare any defenses, and the spear pierced through Wu Sai's throat! Wu Sai's body turned illusory and dissipated in the town.

"The real combat bonus is 0%!" Gao Chong scoffed.

Defeating an opponent with little experience in cold weapon combat, Gao Chong didn't feel much sense of accomplishment, but after being suppressed in this battle until now, he finally felt happy.

Zhang Qian, who had been forced back by the spear, didn't have time to rush over before seeing his teammate killed.

Too fast.

The thrusting spear turned into a chopping spear, and then a thrust in the same direction, and his teammate was gone!

"It's your turn!" Gao Chong looked at Zhang Qian. "Panda, you have to make me use a few more moves, otherwise it's too uninteresting."

"I won't be stupid enough to fight you head-on." Zhang Qian held a three-pointed double-edged blade, displaying his footwork, which was very flexible.

Gao Chong grinned and rushed up directly.

On the other side...

Xu Jingming and Blood Axe Wang Qiao didn't dare to be distracted.

"Wu Sai still has too little experience with cold weapons, which was expected." Xu Jingming stopped thinking about it and carefully stared at Blood Axe Wang Qiao in front of him, looking for his flaws.

"Boom."

Xu Jingming stepped forward.

"Here it comes." Blood Axe Wang Qiao was also very cautious.

"Swish, swish, swish." In an instant, when he approached, the spear in Xu Jingming's hand became blurred, turning into streaks of spear shadows that continuously stabbed at Wang Qiao. This was the advantage of long weapons!

Blood Axe Wang Qiao held a shield in one hand, hiding most of his body behind the shield, and held a large axe in the other hand. This axe was enough to be used as half a shield. He tried his best to push forward, wanting to get close to Xu Jingming.

One attacked, and one defended.

The defender held a shield and pushed forward! The attacker held a spear, but was maintaining distance.

"Senior Brother Wang can take second place in the world, his shield and axe coordination is indeed solid. And he is very familiar with my 'Shadowless Thrust', very careful, not giving me a chance." Xu Jingming was neither arrogant nor impatient, patiently looking for an opportunity. At their level, if anyone became anxious and revealed a flaw, the opponent would quickly seize it, and it would be completely over.

Outsiders didn't have a deep understanding of Xu Jingming's ultimate move, the 'Shadowless Thrust', but these martial arts masters had studied it countless times.

They had long been clear that the only way to break this move was: don't give Xu Jingming a chance.

"As long as I give Xu Jingming a chance, I will lose once the Shadowless Thrust is used." Blood Axe Wang Qiao was like a reef at this moment, withstanding Xu Jingming's continuous attacks of spear shadows, defending flawlessly.

"Not good, the panda is about to lose." Xu Jingming knew he had to take a risk.

Otherwise, once the panda Zhang Qian was defeated, Gao Chong and Wang Qiao would be fighting him two against one.

"Defending flawlessly, without any flaws. Then I'll beat you until you reveal a flaw!" Xu Jingming's eyes turned red, and he stepped forward, like a running beast, with the spear being the beast's horn! He charged over!

He didn't attack other places, he just attacked the shield in Wang Qiao's hand!

Spear Technique—Mountain Breaker!

"Boom!"

Although Blood Axe Wang Qiao was prepared, he was still staggered back by the impact of this spear. "What a fierce move."

When Wang Qiao's center of gravity was unstable and he staggered back, Xu Jingming stepped forward again, as if a general was charging into an army formation, with the spear either chopping or bursting, each move powerful and heavy.

Chopping on the shield, sweeping on the shield, bursting on the shield.

"Boom, boom, boom." Blood Axe Wang Qiao tried hard to stabilize himself, to defend well, but facing Xu Jingming's extremely fierce spear techniques, he felt like he was being hit by a flood, only feeling like he was swaying and about to be washed away. "Is my junior brother so fierce?"

Puff!

Blood Axe Wang Qiao noticed a residual shadow out of the corner of his eye: "Not good!"

The residual shadow flashed, brushing past the shield, piercing through the light body armor on Wang Qiao's body and piercing into his chest. Then it was pulled out! There was a hole in the armor on his chest, and blood gurgled out.

"Shadowless Thrust." Wang Qiao looked at Xu Jingming. "You still found a chance."

His body turned illusory and dissipated.

Wang Qiao died.

Although Wang Qiao was wearing light body armor, it couldn't stop the angry thrust of the spear! Only heavy armor could withstand this attack.

When his shield was bombarded by Xu Jingming and became unstable, revealing a flaw, Xu Jingming used his killer move, the 'Shadowless Thrust'! One move achieved success!

Xu Jingming didn't have time to relax, but turned his head to look not far away.

Gao Chong, holding a spear, was watching Xu Jingming with a fierce look. Beside him was only the three-pointed double-edged blade that had fallen to the ground. The panda Zhang Qian had already dissipated.

"You're quite fast. I just finished Zhang Qian, and you killed Wang Qiao." Gao Chong looked at Xu Jingming and grinned. "Now it's just you and me left."

"Yes, it's just you and me left." Xu Jingming also looked at him.
