Chapter 294 Analysis

The three commentators in the official live broadcast room, all top eight experts, hadn't even had time to analyze the final crucial exchange when the battle had already ended.

Xu Jingming's spear pierced Tiger Fussen's throat, undoubtedly securing victory.

"He won." Tu Ling said blankly, "He just won like that?"

"Too sudden." Yershalova nodded in agreement. "The two sides were fighting fiercely earlier, but Xu Jingming's last few spear strikes were all aggressive, and Tiger Fussen found it increasingly difficult to defend. In the end, his throat was pierced by a spear."

"The last few spear strikes happened in the blink of an eye, less than a second, and the match was over," Haru Singh exclaimed. "I didn't quite understand it."

"I didn't understand it either," Tu Ling said.

Wasn't it just a series of spear thrusts?

How could he not defend against them?

"The final kill is being replayed in slow motion," Haru Singh said, watching carefully. He slowed down the scene of the last second by ten times. The movements of both sides were still extremely fast, but after being slowed down tenfold, even ordinary viewers could see it clearly.

"Continuous spear thrusts, advancing spear thrusts, backhand spear thrusts, turning spear thrusts..." Haru Singh watched and commented. "So fast! They look like ordinary spear thrusts, but they come one after another with very short intervals. Tiger Fussen was barely able to defend with both axes at the same time. This spear grazed Tiger's hair and almost killed him. And then the final spear... Tiger Fussen, already showing an opening, didn't even have time to swing his axe before the spear shadow pierced his throat."

"That kind of pressure..." Tu Ling clicked his tongue. "Facing such continuous spear thrusts, I felt a cold sweat just watching it."

"Yes, once Xu Jingming got serious, Tiger Fussen was done for," Yershalova nodded.

...

The slow-motion replay allowed viewers around the world to feel the pressure of Xu Jingming's attacks. Under the continuous spear thrusts, Tiger Fussen was overwhelmed. How many experts in the world could withstand that?

"Once Xu Jingming erupted, Tiger Fussen was finished with a few consecutive spear thrusts! Can Tiano Xire withstand that?"

"When Tiano erupted at the end, he killed Liu Hai with just two strikes! Only two strikes!"

"When Tiano fought Liu Hai, his strength and speed were overwhelming."

"Tiger Fussen was wearing heavy armor, and he was sent flying dozens of meters away by Xu Jingming in a head-on collision! In terms of speed, Xu Jingming has shown the fastest speed in the entire competition, right?"

"Anyway, both of them are terrifying."

"Two monsters."

"One is the world's number one genius, killing Liu Hai with two strikes. The other's strength is advancing by leaps and bounds. Xu Jingming was behind in the early stages, but he caught up with Liu Hai and Tiano more than seven months ago... Now, his strength is even more difficult to estimate."

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's final."

"Who will win or lose in their battle? I'm itching to know! I wish it would start right now."

Viewers around the world commented in the comment sections and discussed with friends and relatives, all marveling at the two experts, Tiano Xire and Xu Jingming, who had won today's semi-finals.

...

Xu Jingming returned to the stands.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao threw herself into Xu Jingming's arms, her eyes shining with excitement. "You won so beautifully!"

"Captain, you're really amazing. Once you got serious, you took Tiger Fussen away with a few spear strikes," Wang Yi praised.

"Grandson, look, look." Old Master Xu opened the viewing platform. "Look, look. Countless live broadcast rooms in our Xia country on the viewing platform, almost ninety-nine percent are talking about you! The whole country is celebrating! They're all celebrating your victory, all praising how amazing you are."

"It just finished," Xu Jingming said, taking a look. Indeed, on the viewing platform, the titles of those live broadcast rooms were all related to Xu Jingming.

The whole country was celebrating!

This showed the influence of this competition.

"After all, this is the first global competition since the opening of the virtual world," Liu Hai walked over and said with a smile. "There are only two places in the finals. The fact that you can enter the finals naturally makes all Chinese people feel proud."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. The expectations of the people of the whole country were focused on him, and he himself felt a heavy sense of responsibility and honor, which also stimulated his mind and consciousness.

"Fortunately, you won. If you and I had both lost, and no one from our Xia country could enter the finals, the people of the whole country would probably be very disappointed," Liu Hai said, looking at Xu Jingming with a smile. "Enjoy the moment of victory first. I'll talk to you tomorrow morning about Tiano."

"Okay, Master," Xu Jingming nodded. With this battle won, the next step was the final. He had to face Tiano.

...

"Spear Combo?"

Tiano Xire sat alone in the stands, drinking juice. He didn't listen to the commentators' explanations, but carefully watched the slow-motion replay.

"His evolutionary level is probably around fifth order, 40%," Tiano watched and said. "His strength and speed far surpass Tiger Fussen. This is more like it... Looking at the world, this Xu Jingming is indeed the closest to me."

"His spearmanship is also quite good."

Tiano Xire smiled and stood up. "I'm just waiting for a good fight tomorrow."

Without waiting for the live broadcast to end, he had already left.

"Tomorrow's match will officially begin at 9 p.m. Beijing time. There will be two matches in total," the female host said on the commentary platform. "The first match will be for third and fourth place, Liu Hai versus Tiger Fussen, to determine who will be the third place winner of this competition. After that, it will be the final of this World Martial Arts Competition, Tiano Xire versus Xu Jingming."

In the ears of the people of Xia, they heard Chinese, and the time was 9 p.m. Beijing time.

In other countries, it was the common language of those countries, and the time was also the time zone of those countries.

Countless viewers also looked forward to tomorrow's battle and continued to leave.

...

Personal space, residence.

Xu Jingming accompanied his wife, eating delicious food and watching programs on the viewing platform.

"Besides celebrating the victory, there are also many programs on the viewing platform analyzing your battle with Tiano," Li Miaomiao said. "Some of the explanations make sense."

As she spoke, Li Miaomiao selected some programs. "I've had Sister Kong and Xiao Zeng collect some of the battle analyses that some viewers agree with more. You can take a look. Perhaps they'll give you some inspiration."

Xu Jingming watched the explanations.

"Some of them make sense," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "But Tiano didn't show many of his methods in his battle with my master. What we saw... was only what he showed."

Li Miaomiao nodded.

"Of course, like me, I also have some killer moves that I haven't used publicly," Xu Jingming said. "I'm going to cultivate first."

"Go ahead," Li Miaomiao nodded.

Even on the eve of the final, Xu Jingming was still the same as always, maintaining his normal cultivation routine.

******

Early in the morning.

In the personal space's training field, Master Liu Hai contacted Xu Jingming.

"Master," Xu Jingming said, looking at Liu Hai.

"You should have watched the replay of my battle with Tiano," Liu Hai said. "But there are some things that you may not be able to see."

"Oh?" Xu Jingming listened.

With a light tap, Liu Hai displayed the previous semi-final—the battle between Liu Hai and Tiano—and it was in slow motion.

"I've watched it seven or eight times, all in slow motion," Xu Jingming said.

"Did you see that Tiano has cultivated at least three different staff art styles?" Liu Hai asked, looking at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was stunned. "Three styles?"

"When I fought him one-on-one, our weapons collided with each other. I used my ultimate move 'Reincarnation' to borrow his strength and redirect it," Liu Hai said. "So I could clearly grasp the strength and movement of each of his staff techniques. I can be sure that he has cultivated at least three completely different staff art styles."

"I can confirm three staff arts, and I'll demonstrate them for you one by one," Liu Hai said.
