“It’s my turn to go on stage.” Xu Jingming stood up.

“Don't be careless,” Liu Hai reminded.

“A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit,” Xu Jingming said with a smile as he walked toward his parents, wife, and others.

“Old Xu, it’s up to you,” Heng Fang shouted loudly.

Li Miaomiao also smiled. “The baby and I will be cheering for you.” Li Miaomiao's belly was already quite noticeable, as she was four months pregnant.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do my best.” Xu Jingming was also looking forward to the day his child was born. With a tap, he entered the battle preparation space.

…

In the preparation space, Xu Jingming and Y莎洛娃 were in separate areas, preparing their weapons and equipment.

Xu Jingming still chose body armor, a spear, and two shields.

“Shields are quite restraining against my arrows.” Y莎洛娃 saw it from afar and thought to herself, “I must find a suitable opportunity to strike.”

With Xu Jingming’s shield techniques, Y莎洛娃’s bow and arrow threat would be reduced by 90% with two shields in front of him.

“Even if he uses shields, I still have a chance to win.” Y莎洛娃 was very confident in herself. She also began to choose her weapons and equipment, as always choosing silver-white armor, a bow and arrows, and finally a rapier, which she carried on her back.

“A rapier?” Xu Jingming wondered when he saw this, “It seems that she is also proficient in rapier techniques.”

“But dealing with her, spear techniques should be enough,” Xu Jingming thought to himself, “Just in case, I should bring a shield.”

From the perspective of weapon countering, holding two shields would naturally give him the greatest certainty of victory, but Xu Jingming was very confident in his spear techniques.

He opened his personal combat power panel and took a look.

“Fifth Order pursues perfect control over all cells.” The more Xu Jingming cultivated, the more he realized the terror of the Fifth Order. The more precise his control over the cells in his body became, the more drastically the power, speed, and agility his body could unleash increased.

“It’s just that the progress of Fifth Order evolution is getting slower and slower. I reached Fifth Order in March. It’s been more than two months, and the highest, the *Hua Hong* Spear Technique, is only Fifth Order 34%.” Xu Jingming thought to himself, “A Fifth Order sharpshooter… is a rare opponent. I hope it will help my spear techniques!”

It seemed that the two spear techniques and shield techniques were not that different.

But the spear techniques had a heritage. The five ultimate moves left by Xuan were much more exquisite than the ultimate shield moves that Xu Jingming had comprehended when he possessed Ambro.

Cultivation had a primary and secondary focus. Xu Jingming focused on spear techniques and used shield techniques as a supplement.

“Whoosh.” “Whoosh.”

When they were ready, Xu Jingming and Y莎洛娃 both flew into the battle map.

******

Modern city map.

Xu Jingming appeared in a residential building. He walked to the window, looked outside through the edge of the curtain, and understood his location at a glance.

Since the virtual world was opened, there had been five battle maps: Town, City, Mountain Forest, Snowy Field, and Ancient Battlefield. After entering them repeatedly for a long time, Xu Jingming was naturally very familiar with the environment.

“First, find the sharpshooter’s position,” Xu Jingming thought to himself, “City scene.”

Xu Jingming naturally sketched out a three-dimensional map of the town in his mind. After reaching the Planet level, his brainpower was more than a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people who had not practiced evolution methods.

Whoosh.

He directly opened the window and jumped down. When landing, Xu Jingming carefully watched his surroundings.

“I don’t see her in this large area.” Xu Jingming immediately determined some safe areas in his mind. He immediately moved quietly, and the positions Xu Jingming moved to were routes with extremely low exposure.

Either they were blind spots in the light, or they could only be seen from safe areas.

As he moved, the safe area confirmed in his mind became larger and larger.

“The sharpshooter is very cautious, hiding in one place, silently squatting and waiting for a fatal blow.” Xu Jingming quickly determined that more than 70% of the area was safe. He continued to walk carefully, like an experienced hunter, searching for his prey.

On the other side.

Y莎洛娃 was indeed very careful. She was in a hotel room, watching patiently through the crack of the curtains, looking for an opportunity.

“Why haven’t I seen him yet?” Y莎洛娃 thought to herself, “As long as Xu Jingming appears in my line of sight, I will definitely be able to find him. Is he also cautiously squatting and waiting? As time goes on, the battle range will naturally shrink, making the contestants’ activity range smaller and smaller. He can’t hide forever.”

“It depends on who can hide longer between him and me.” Y莎洛娃 was extremely calm, she had plenty of patience to wait.

As a sharpshooter, she had to shoot arrows in secret to have the greatest chance of winning.

She was betting now!

Betting that the combat range would shrink and first shrink to Xu Jingming’s location.

“Building 23 is ruled out, Building 25 is ruled out.” Xu Jingming became more and more careful. “The sharpshooter is either in the hotel or in Buildings 7 and 10.”

Xu Jingming carefully ruled out possibilities, using the elimination method.

“From the perspective of the field of vision, the greater probability is that she’s in the hotel.”

“Check the hotel first.”

…

The livestream was also a little tense.

“Y莎洛娃 is very patient. She has been patiently hiding in the room, waiting for the best opportunity to appear at the window,” Alan said.

“Xu Jingming has been walking in the battle map for so long. Why has he been avoiding Y莎洛娃’s line of sight?” Leavin Gulit wondered.

Alan smiled and said, “If you understand geometry, you should understand. The route Xu Jingming is walking is always very safe. He is gradually expanding the safe range. Only the safe range can see him. I can be sure that Xu Jingming’s math must be very good.”

Leavin Gulit’s eyes widened.

“He should have locked in the approximate range where Y莎洛娃 is located. The first place he suspects is the hotel. He has already entered,” Alan watched.

“Do you have to understand math and geometry to fight now?” Leavin Gulit wondered, and couldn’t help but look at Miyakawa Meixin beside him.

Miyakawa Meixin was silent for a while before saying, “I’m not very good at it.”

It wasn’t that he wasn’t good at it. Most of his energy in school was focused on kendo. His studies could only be considered ordinary.

…

When Y莎洛娃 was patiently guarding, she carefully sensed every movement all the time. Suddenly, her instinct vaguely sensed a threat approaching.

For sharpshooters, the most important thing is to be calm.

The requirements for tempering the heart are very high! Y莎洛娃 vaguely sensed the threat, and she had no doubt about it.

“Xu Jingming has determined my approximate location and should be approaching,” Y莎洛娃 thought to herself. Without hesitation, she directly opened the window, exerted her strength, and soared into the sky. Then, she kicked off the wall of the hotel again, crossed two or three hundred meters, and landed on the spire of the television tower in the distance.

Stepping on the top of the television tower, the top was also a metal frame that was forty or fifty centimeters long and wide. Y莎洛娃 stood there, looking down at all directions.

“Standing at the highest point, without any cover, you can’t get close anymore,” Y莎洛娃 thought to herself.

“Hmm?” Xu Jingming was at the corner of the hotel when he saw a shadow flash in the air and fly to the top of the television tower.

“Did she notice?” Xu Jingming was secretly surprised.

After reaching the Fifth Order, he had very precise control over his strength. Even with a shield and spear, he could move without making a sound. But the senses of Fifth Order experts were also very keen.

“Like Tenth Order experts, their thoughts spread and their senses can even cover most of a star system,” Xu Jingming thought to himself, “Although the senses of Fifth Order experts are much weaker, the stronger their heart is tempered, the more sensitive they will be to some powerful life magnetic fields. She should have vaguely noticed my approach.”

“Her mind and consciousness are so strong.” Xu Jingming looked at the television tower, moved his feet, and turned to disappear.

And Y莎洛娃 was standing on the top of the tower, looking down in all directions, her eyes calm, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

Whoosh!

A shadow flashed from one place and rushed into the television tower, as fast as lightning.

“It’s Xu Jingming!” Y莎洛娃 immediately confirmed. Although it was only a flash of three or five meters, she could still see the person’s appearance clearly.

“Boom—”

Accompanied by a loud bang.

The entire television tower was like being attacked by a shell, exploding, with large pieces of reinforced concrete exploding, and the tower began to collapse.

“Hmm?” The tower under her feet began to collapse, and Y莎洛娃 immediately tapped her feet and leaped towards a tall building on the opposite side.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chunks of reinforced concrete suddenly shot up from below, each reaching a terrifying speed of 2,000 meters per second. If she were on land, Y莎洛娃 could easily dodge. But in the high altitude, without anything to step on, Y莎洛娃’s jumping speed was far less than the speed at which these chunks of reinforced concrete were launched.

Xu Jingming erupted with all his strength, first throwing three chunks of reinforced concrete, and was still holding two chunks, staring at Y莎洛娃 in the high altitude.

“Not good.” Y莎洛娃 knew very well that if she continued to leap in her current direction, she would definitely be hit.

“Clang.” She instantly pulled out the rapier behind her and slashed at the nearest piece of reinforced concrete. The impact of the reinforced concrete was extremely great, but Y莎洛娃 also used this to roll to the side, avoiding the two pieces of reinforced concrete behind her.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more pieces of reinforced concrete were launched. Y莎洛娃 immediately drew her sword in a sorry state. When she split the concrete block and landed, Xu Jingming had already arrived like a shadow.

“Whoosh.” Y莎洛娃 instinctively retreated violently.

“So fast, his speed is faster than mine!” Y莎洛娃 was very surprised. She was a Fifth Order sharpshooter, and had spent a lot of energy on speed.

“Xu Jingming is chasing, Y莎洛娃 is fleeing.” In the official livestream, the host and commentators were also excitedly watching. The female host looked at the data automatically marked by the virtual world, and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Y莎洛娃’s speed has reached 407 meters per second, but Xu Jingming’s speed has reached 423 meters per second! This speed is really terrifying.”

“I can’t escape!”

Y莎洛娃 felt the figure behind her continue to close in.

“It’s now!” When the two were about thirty meters apart, Y莎洛娃 suddenly turned around and shot an arrow, holding three arrows in one hand, and placed them on the bowstring at the same time. Her turning around to shoot arrows naturally affected her footwork speed, but she coldly watched Xu Jingming approach and released the three arrows in her hand.

The fletchings of each of these three arrows had been cut off a bit, making them unbalanced.

*Shuu shuu shuu!!!*

The three arrows pierced through the air, each drawing a curve, shooting towards Xu Jingming.

“This is my ultimate move, ‘Three-Winged Arrows.’” Although Y莎洛娃 only obtained a Sixth Order inheritance, after years of hard training, she still managed to practice the ultimate move, ‘Three-Winged Arrows,’ recorded in that inheritance.

Facing these three arrows, she realized how great the threat was.

The trajectory of the arrows was not a straight line, but a curve! At a very close range, although releasing three arrows at the same time affected the speed, each arrow also reached 4,500 meters per second! The threat of three arrows being fired at the same time in a curved attack was imaginable.

“Boom.” Xu Jingming’s charging momentum remained unchanged, and the spear in his hand moved.

At this moment, the spear flowed like water, sweeping Xu Jingming’s front, and also sweeping away the three arrows that were attacking close by! In order to kill Xu Jingming, no matter what the trajectory of the three arrows was, they would eventually have to reach Xu Jingming’s vicinity.

Xu Jingming’s spear swept like flowing water, naturally sweeping away the three arrows.

“What?” When Y莎洛娃 released the three arrows, she was looking forward to the moment when they would pierce through Xu Jingming.

But she didn’t expect that Xu Jingming’s spear would turn and sweep away the three arrows like flowing water.

This was precisely one of Xu Jingming’s five ultimate spear moves that he had been practicing, the ‘Water Style’!

Water benefits all things without contention, water flows without form! Water can also be extremely yang and extremely rigid, sharp and unmatched. This was a spear technique that ‘combined offense and defense.’

“*Shuu*.”

As if carrying the sound of waves, the spear had already attacked Y莎洛娃!
