Chapter 1 General Fighting World

The virtual world network, General Fighting World.

Xu Jingming, carrying a long spear, appeared in a grassy field on the outskirts.

"For an eighth-level Starry Sky lifeform to become a Source lifeform, the biggest obstacle is the 'will of the mind'," Xu Jingming said, looking at a city in the distance. "Back then, I went to the Demon Subduing World to temper my mind, and later I participated in the 'Cosmic Pinnacle Battle' to train myself, and finally became a Source lifeform."

"However, in the history of the human race, many methods of improving the will of the mind have been tried, and there are many virtual worlds used to temper the mind. General Fighting World is one of them!"

"General Fighting World, like Demon Subduing World, is used to temper the will of the mind, but its reputation is far worse."

"Its method of tempering is rather clumsy!"

"In this world, the most crucial aspect of battles between armies is the general fight. Generals rely on their mortal bodies, superb weapon skills, and the collision of their will of the mind to ultimately determine victory or defeat."

"Powerful generals are almost all eighth-level Starry Sky lifeforms. Even in the virtual world, where they only have mortal bodies, they still unleash extremely strong power and speed. Coupled with the will of the mind... one person is enough to match an army."

"The collision between generals is a collision of skills, and even more so, a collision of minds."

Xu Jingming said with some emotion, "I really didn't expect that the path of General Fighting World is so similar to the path of 'spear' techniques I saw in the void abyss figure."

"The path of General Fighting World has two ways of using the will of the mind: one is to release it to suppress the enemy! The other is to condense it within the weapon to defend against the enemy's mental will impact."

"The spear technique path I saw is to 'condense the will of the mind' within the weapon."

"Use skills to condense the will of the mind."

Xu Jingming thought, "Eighth-level limits can condense the will of the mind to a certain level, with the hope of breaking through to become a Source lifeform."

"However, according to the path seen in the void abyss figure, weapon skills condense the will of the mind, and the mind is constantly condensed! Each time it is condensed, there will be a qualitative change. Condensing it ten times will result in ten qualitative changes..."

"As for what weapon to use to condense the mind? There is no difference! It can be a saber, spear, sword, staff, or any other weapon. The only requirement is that one must be sincere."

"And for me, the most suitable is the spear."

For the Lord of the Void Abyss, using any weapon at will will possess incredible power.

Xu Jingming has only just come into contact with this path, so naturally he chooses the most familiar weapon to start with.

"General Fighting World has existed for a long time. The will of the mind is condensed in weapons, pursuing one's own limits, and the mind becomes more and more condensed. But no one has ever discovered that this path can lead to higher dimensions. That's because... there is no guidance!"

"Lifeforms in the lower dimensions have not looked up at the higher dimensions, and without a goal, they will never become higher-dimensional lifeforms." The Primordial Star lineage, the Abyss lineage, and other lineages all obtained some higher-dimensional treasures first, understood the power of the higher dimensions, and then explored the path."

"Historically, no one in the human race has looked up and seen the higher dimension of 'weapon skills', but I have!" Xu Jingming thought, "Now that I have seen it and know the direction, I will naturally move in that direction."

Perhaps, Director, the Eternal Pagoda Master, and Space-Time Landlord have seen the higher-dimensional path of weapon skills, or perhaps they have not.

But what is certain is that there is not the slightest record of such knowledge in the human race.

"Let's take the first step from General Fighting World," Xu Jingming thought.

When Xu Jingming entered General Fighting World, the official operators of General Fighting World also learned of this news.

"Councilor Tie You, we didn't dare to disturb Lord Wu Ming after we discovered him, and immediately notified you." The person in charge of the operation of General Fighting World said respectfully. Beside him was a tall man in a purple robe wearing sunglasses.

Councilor Tie You is a councilor of the Cosmic Human Alliance and is also responsible for hundreds of officially operated game worlds. At his level, he would not be responsible for trivial matters.

"Senior Brother Wu Ming?" Tie You said in surprise. "Very good, Senior Brother Wu Ming's identity is special, so it is not suitable for you to disturb him. I will go and see him myself."

What kind of person is Senior Brother Wu Ming!

He became a tenth-level Source lifeform after cultivating for more than two hundred years. Everyone believes that Wu Ming will become a Cosmic Legend earlier than Chi Meng, with the hope of impacting the Supreme Realm. It is said that on the Void Space Clan battlefield, he won consecutive victories, forcing the Void Space Clan to dare not deal with him anymore.

For an ordinary person in charge of the game to go to meet him would be disrespectful to Senior Brother Wu Ming!

Xu Jingming was wearing a black robe. The material of this robe was absolutely black. After all, it was a virtual world. Xu Jingming deliberately imitated the robe of the 'Lord of the Void Abyss' when choosing the robe, pursuing absolute blackness.

Wearing such a robe, Xu Jingming also felt more in the mood!

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming looked at the purple-robed figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Senior Brother Wu Ming." The purple-robed man Tie You was tall, but very humble and polite.

"So it's Junior Brother Tie You. Are you in charge here?" Xu Jingming asked with a smile.

Tie You is an ordinary tenth-level Source lifeform in the Primordial Research Institute.

Tie You was a little overwhelmed by Xu Jingming's bright smile and enthusiasm, and immediately said, "Yes, I am in charge here. Senior Brother Wu Ming, General Fighting World is for Starry Sky lifeforms to temper their will of the mind. Is there anything important that you need to do here? I have all the information about this world. If there is anything I can help with, Senior Brother, please feel free to say so."

Looking for someone? Investigating affairs?

He, Councilor Tie You, can understand it from the background and quickly help Senior Brother Wu Ming solve it.

"There is indeed a small matter," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Give me a permission that allows me to teleport long distances within General Fighting World."

"A small matter!" Councilor Tie You nodded. "I will set you as the number one boss in General Fighting World, with the highest authority and no tasks."

Normally in the game, the official deliberately arranges experts to act as bosses, and there are generally tasks.

Destroying the balance of the world! Destroying the layout of the world! Using game permissions to make a lot of money... Some experts will be arranged to directly descend and solve those players who destroy the balance.

If the officials are pressed, they will simply send down heavenly lightning.

More ruthless, simply drive them out of the world, so that players can no longer log in.

When a person like Xu Jingming comes in, the person in charge of the official world has to help open up permissions.

Xu Jingming nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

"Then I'll leave first. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask," Tie You said.

Xu Jingming nodded with satisfaction. "I won't be polite to Junior Brother Tie You."

Tie You smiled brightly. "Then I won't disturb Senior Brother."

"Didn't they say that Senior Brother Wu Ming keeps people at a distance? I feel that Senior Brother Wu Ming is quite enthusiastic." Councilor Tie You sighed secretly as he left. According to intelligence, Senior Brother Wu Ming is wholeheartedly immersed in the path of evolution and does not participate much in various circles. Even on some occasions, when others meet Xu Jingming, Xu Jingming usually just nods with a smile, and it is rare to say a word.

Today, Councilor Tie You felt very good! Senior Brother Wu Ming valued him!

"With long-distance teleportation, there is no need to waste time on the road." Xu Jingming waved his hand, and a huge map of General Fighting World appeared in front of him, with the locations of every powerful general on it.

"Giving me so many permissions is indeed convenient. Let's find the first general to try my hand." Xu Jingming selected one. "It's you, Ding Shuo!"

Xu City, Zhao State, one of the seven kingdoms of General Fighting World.

Xu City was misty with rain, and the scenery was beautiful. The reason why the common people could live a stable life was because Xu City had a world-famous general—Ding Shuo. Ding Shuo alone was enough to resist thousands of troops! Suppressing all who refused to submit.

A man in black robes came to the front of Ding's mansion.

"Get out of here."

"Don't you see what place this is?" The guards in front of the mansion immediately stepped forward to reprimand. With the influence of Ding's mansion, even if outsiders came to visit, they would stand at the side door. Few dared to block the main entrance.

Xu Jingming took a step, his figure blurred, and he kicked the door, boom! The two doors exploded directly.

Xu Jingming, carrying a long spear, walked directly into the front yard of Ding's mansion. The front yard was hundreds of meters long and wide, and was quite spacious.

"Ding Shuo, come forth and die!" Xu Jingming's voice resounded throughout the entire mansion, causing the doors and windows of the mansion to vibrate.

Rumble, a large number of guards poured out from all directions and appeared in the front yard, totaling more than a thousand people.

At this time, a cold-faced man walked out. He was wearing armor, holding a long saber, and his eyes contained a fierce look as he stared at Xu Jingming, as if he were a peerless beast. As an eighth-level limit, the will of the mind contained in his eyes was terrifying enough. Weaker Starry Sky lifeforms would not dare to look directly at him.

Xu Jingming looked at him, but his expression did not change at all.

"Who are you?" Ding Shuo stared at Xu Jingming.

"Someone who is here to kill you," Xu Jingming said.

"Hahaha..." Ding Shuo laughed loudly. Was he afraid of death? He, an eighth-level limit, came here to temper himself. Death only meant that he had encountered a stronger test, which was a good thing.

He could create another account and come in again.

"There are plenty of people who want to kill me. What are you?" Ding Shuo's fierceness soared to the sky.

"Little guy, you have a lot of guts," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Don't blame me for bullying the weak. I will only use weapon skills and will not rely on my will of the mind to bully you."

His figure blurred, and Xu Jingming was already in front of Ding Shuo.

Ding Shuo was not flustered at all! In General Fighting World, everyone had an ordinary body, which limited their strength and speed. Here, victory or defeat depended on weapon skills and the will of the mind. And this arrogant black-clothed spearman in front of him did not release his will of the mind to suppress him. He was merely guarding his mind internally.

The will of the mind was only defensive, not offensive.

"Arrogant." Ding Shuo's saber light howled instantly, and a terrifying will accompanied the saber light, pressing over. This was not only a weapon, but also a mental attack.

Clang clang clang!!!

When the weapons collided, Ding Shuo was, after all, an eighth-level limit, and his weapon skills were extremely pure. One move followed another, fierce and domineering. However, he encountered Xu Jingming... who was the first in the Cosmic Pinnacle Battle a long time ago.

Even with his mind completely condensed internally, Ding Shuo immediately felt that he had encountered a strong enemy.

"His spear technique?" Ding Shuo was shocked.

Following his understanding of the void abyss figure, Xu Jingming's mind was completely united with the long spear! The mind was guarded internally in the spear, without any external release.

The mind pursued the 'darkness' of the void abyss figure, constantly condensing.

This darkness was like a black hole, devouring, containing, condensing, and qualitatively changing...

Although there was no detailed inheritance, Xu Jingming could only grope for it based on his feelings. But after all, it was his first attempt, and Xu Jingming obviously had a lot of room for improvement. His will of the mind became more and more condensed in the long spear.

The more condensed the mind, the stronger the feeling for the long spear.

He seemed to have become a long spear.

"Be sincere to the spear, be pure to the spear." Although Xu Jingming saw the direction of the higher dimensions, this first attempt still made him intoxicated and moved.

This was what a spearman truly pursued, what he was truly obsessed with.

The long spear had life and became more and more agile and unpredictable.

It was clear that they both had ordinary bodies, and it was clear that Ding Shuo was also mobilizing a majestic will of the mind to assist him, but Ding Shuo's 'saber technique' was like a stiff, dead thing, while Xu Jingming's long spear was full of endless vitality.

"Die."

After more than ten rounds, Xu Jingming was just immersed in it, and the long spear naturally pierced through Ding Shuo's chest.

Even with armor protecting him, when three consecutive spears pierced the same spot, they still penetrated the armor and killed Ding Shuo.

"He didn't even bother to pierce my throat, but forcibly broke through my armor to kill me?" Ding Shuo couldn't believe it. After so many years in General Fighting World, it was the first time he had lost so miserably.

Xu Jingming pulled out his long spear.

Ding Shuo slumped to the ground, his blood staining the ground red. The surrounding guards were all stunned. Ding Shuo, who was more terrifying than an army in their hearts, had died just like that?

"I only had a little bit of feeling, and this opponent died." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "It seems that I have to limit my strength and speed, otherwise it won't be enough to fight."

Xu Jingming then turned and left. None of the guards in Ding's mansion dared to stop him, and allowed this mysterious expert to leave and disappear. The general of Xu City, Zhao State, Ding Shuo

Was just the beginning.

From that day on, Xu Jingming began to challenge one general after another in General Fighting World, and also explored the path of spear techniques.
