Preparation Area.

Tiya Nuo glanced at the other side, casually selecting light armor and a long staff.

"His forte is indeed the staff technique." Xu Jingming understood upon seeing this. He also chose light armor and a spear, and noticed that the battle map was 'Ancient Battlefield'. The ancient battlefield had no obstructions, minimizing environmental factors during the fight.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two transformed into streams of light, flying into the map.

******

Ancient Battlefield Map.

The only structure here was a massive, ruined ancient city wall stretching nearly a kilometer. Outside the wall was a vast land seemingly dyed red with blood. At this moment, two figures descended upon this land.

Tiya Nuo smiled as he looked at Xu Jingming: "The number one genius among billions in a newly emerging cosmic civilization? This number one genius has no idea what he's about to face today."

Tiya Nuo never thought he would lose!

The training he received since childhood was unimaginable to the Blue Star civilization, and he was even personally guided by a cosmic legend. He possessed methods far beyond Xu Jingming's imagination.

"However, I can't be careless. After all, his talent is extremely high, while my talent is quite lacking." Tiya Nuo thought to himself, "I hope this number one genius of the newly emerging cosmic civilization can give me some inspiration and help me take another step forward in my evolution."

Tiya Nuo observed Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming also observed his opponent: "Tiya Nuo has always been very mysterious, rarely making public appearances, and always winning easily. He defeated my master, Liu Hai, with ease. I must maintain the highest vigilance and not give him any chance."

The two men's fighting spirit grew stronger, and at the moment when their fighting spirits resonated—

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tiya Nuo and Xu Jingming moved simultaneously, their figures tearing through the air. Visible waves of air exploded outwards, and in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed close, a long staff and a spear already attacking each other.

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

Weapons rapidly collided.

The two moved at high speed, their weapons constantly clashing.

"Double Image!" At the first moment of the exchange, Tiya Nuo's figure became blurred and ghostly. The staff's speed increased, and he executed the very move that defeated Liu Hai – Double Image.

The Double Image was one of the ultimate moves that Tiya Nuo had learned.

"What fast staff techniques!" Xu Jingming was secretly amazed during the exchange. Clearly, a staff strike was coming, and he had just blocked it! The staff immediately reversed, and the other end of the staff poked at him! The speed was so fast. Fortunately, he had already integrated the essence of the Water Style into his spear techniques, and the spear techniques became faster with each move, barely managing to block it.

The sounds of various weapons clashing made the global audience hold their breath.

"Going all out right from the start?"

"The moves are too fast."

"Are their strengths that much greater than ours?"

Even the fifth-order experts, including Liu Hai and Tiger Fussen, felt suffocated.

As soon as Xu Jingming and Tiya Nuo exchanged blows, the power they unleashed was enough to instantly kill Liu Hai and Tiger Fussen!

"Two great experts, the speed of their exchange is unbelievable." The female host looked at the slow-motion scene to the side. Even at ten times slower, Tiya Nuo's staff technique still transformed into afterimages, chopping, drawing, poking, pointing, sweeping... the staff was illusory and unpredictable, attacking frantically.

And Xu Jingming's forte was the Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique! The spear technique pursued speed! Now that he had integrated the essence of Water Style into the spear moves, one spear followed another! In slow motion, the spear also blurred into streaks of spear shadows.

"This is outrageous."

"Even at ten times slower, I can't see clearly?"

"Are they even human?"

Countless viewers were dumbfounded. Before, when watching matches, they could still see clearly even after slowing down ten times. But this time, they couldn't see clearly even after slowing down ten times! Of course, they could see the movements of the two figures, but they just couldn't see the weapons.

"This is what the competition for the top one and two in the world is like."

"Are they much stronger than Liu Hai, than Tiger Fussen?"

Having just watched the matches for third and fourth place, watching the matches for first and second place felt like a completely different level.

Whether it was the speed of movement or the speed of weapons, it was a qualitative difference!

"Interesting!"

The corners of Tiya Nuo's mouth curled up slightly. When he suddenly thrust out with his staff, his arm suddenly lengthened by a full half a meter, making the range of the thrust significantly larger.

Xu Jingming was prepared for this, and used his spear to unleash the ultimate move 'Water Style', like a surging wave, the spear engulfed the staff, defending against this move: "Haru Singh is good at lengthening his arms and legs. In previous matches, Tiya Nuo's chest and main torso have stretched and indented to a great extent, avoiding my master's blade. According to Haru Singh, Tiya Nuo is obviously more skilled in terms of body extension, how could I not guard against this move?"

"Hu hu hu."

Tiya Nuo's attacks were not only fast, but also had arms that lengthened from time to time, making the attacks even more unpredictable, increasing the pressure on Xu Jingming, forcing him to frequently use Water Style.

The Water Style was a move that combined offense and defense, and could be switched to offense at any time while defending.

"Star Shattering!" Tiya Nuo became more excited, his entire body like a whip, all the strength of his body gathered along his arms to the staff, and he suddenly struck out. This strike was as fast as lightning! The power was also significantly stronger than before.

It was one of the ultimate moves Tiya Nuo had learned, 'Star Shattering'.

Xu Jingming still used his spear to sweep over, cautiously defending against this move, but at the moment of contact with the staff—

"Not good."

Xu Jingming felt a terrifying penetrating force, this force made it difficult for him to dissipate the force, and for a moment he could only try his best to resist with his spear.

Boom!

Under the collision of weapons, Xu Jingming flew backwards.

Tiya Nuo stepped forward and chased after him at an even faster speed, striking again with a fierce blow, still that ultimate move 'Star Shattering'. While Xu Jingming was flying backwards, he immediately used his spear technique again to resist.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tiya Nuo continued to chase and strike, continuously striking twelve times, trying to knock the spear out of Xu Jingming's hand! But while Xu Jingming was constantly flying backwards, he also defended twelve times in a row! He still held the spear tightly in his hand.

"Bang."

After being struck twelve times, Xu Jingming crashed into the ancient city wall. The impact speed was too fierce. Under the violent impact, a section of the city wall at the point of impact exploded, and countless huge rocks rolled down, completely burying that area, and also burying Xu Jingming's body.

"Hmm?"

"Xu Jingming!"

"Xu Jingming was buried by the city wall!"

Countless people were a little dazed.

It sounds slow, but Tiya Nuo struck a full twelve times! But in reality, it only took less than two seconds! In these less than two seconds, Xu Jingming had been flying backwards. Even though he had touched the ground several times with his feet, he had never been able to stand firm, and was completely bombarded and crashed into the city wall, causing the city wall to collapse.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao looked worriedly at the collapsed city wall. Under the cover of countless rubble, she couldn't see Xu Jingming's figure at all.

Xu Hong and his wife, Old Master Xu, the members of the Pearwood team, and everyone else were extremely nervous.

The people of the entire Xia Country, and Xu Jingming's countless fans around the world, were also nervous.

Could it be that he lost just like that?

……

Under the collapsed ruins of the city wall, Xu Jingming had already crashed into the boundary of the entire map. A transparent membrane wall blocked Xu Jingming's backward flight, and countless rubble pressed down on him.

"Tiya Nuo is so fierce." Xu Jingming felt a sweetness in his throat and swallowed a mouthful of blood. The impact of hitting the city wall just now was still a bit too great, and even his body was injured. Xu Jingming glanced at the transparent membrane wall behind him, holding the spear in his hand, not in a hurry to rush out. With his cell-level control, his body would recover quickly, and he could take the opportunity to recover.

At the same time, Xu Jingming closed his eyes under the ruins, his heart like a star, silent and eternal, magnifying his perception, remotely sensing the wisps of aura from the outside world.
