though Wang Qiao wore light armor, it couldn't withstand the furious spear thrust! Only heavy armor could withstand this blow. 。When his shield was struck by Xu Jingming, causing it to crack and becom..."Not yet rated" 。Xu Jingming explained, "I've been practicing in the martial arts field." 。"Hardening yourself through training is important, but so is the experience of life-and-death combat!" Liu Hai asked, "Is your basic battle strength enough" 。Xu Jingming nodded and looked at his personal combat power panel. 。Player: Xu Jingming

After all, he had practiced in the training ground for almost eight hours. One practice of 《Tianmang Evolution Method》 reached the initial stage, and now it has reached Intermediate 20%, pushing his physique to the limit, naturally becoming even stronger. 。After his body evolved, Xu Jingming's strength, speed, and nerve reflexes had all undergone a transformation. So, he chose sparring partners in the training ground, familiarizing himself with both his shield techniques and spear techniques to ensure he could fully unleash his potential. 。"As long as you have enough combat power." 。Liu Hai nodded, he also knew that the basic combat power threshold for the god level was 1000, and if you wanted to enter the god level directly through the 'ranking competition', 。The basic combat power needs to reach 1200, which is quite challenging. 。"You haven't relaxed your shield skills after retiring, have you" Liu Hai asked. 。On the national team, there are many teammates to practice with. 。After retirement, the practice partner is much worse. 。"Xu Jingming said, 'However, I will practice a few times every week.'" 。"Practicing shield combat is very helpful for mastering physical strength." 。"Liu Hai said, 'This is a lifelong thing, and we can't relax.'" 。The disciple understands. 。Xu Jingming said. 。

I practiced marksmanship from a young age. After joining the national team, Master Liu Hai taught me shield techniques. 。The master's shield technique originates from the Taiji lineage. 。"Hurry up and level up, there are already 31 people who have reached the Divine level now. My Xia country land, it's truly teeming with dragons and tigers!" 。"Liu Hai sighed deeply and then hung up the communication." 。"Already 31 people" Xu Jingming didn't hesitate any longer, clicking on the personal panel and directly heading to the combat space. 。At the beginning of battle, you enter a void. 。A man in green appeared from the void, saying: "Xu Jingming, welcome to the battle space. Your base combat power reaches 1380, exceeding the 'God-level' base combat power threshold by more than 20%. You can directly participate in the 'God-level' ranking tournament. Would you like to participate""Okay" 。Xu Jingming nodded. 。

"Battle space, divided into five environments" 。town, woods, city, snowfields, ancient battlefield 。Please select one of the environments as your qualifying competition venue. 。Xu Jingming thought for a moment and said, "Mountains and forests!" "Please choose your equipment" 。The young man in green said, "You can carry a maximum of two weapons, and you are not allowed to wear any head protection." 。"Only the head is exposed It's a must," Xu Jingming asked. 。Yes, even wearing heavy armor, the head must be exposed. 。The young man in green nodded and said, "This is a rule set by the virtual world game, so the head will be the biggest target during combat." 。You must take care to protect > 。Xu Jingming nodded. 。

Gently tap to start choosing your equipment

He had practiced it many times in the training ground, so he was very proficient. 。A set of lightweight armor, form-fitting and allowing free movement. 。Xu Jingming selected his body armor, and after making his choice, he was clad in a dark red protective suit from head to toe, wearing a pair of light and sturdy boots. 。"Double shields, both sixty centimeters in diameter, are relatively light." 。Xu Jingming carried twin shields on his back, and with a hand outstretched, he chose a spear. 。The spear, weighing 36 kilograms, is quite manageable. 。Xu Jingming held a long spear. 。Full body equipment, a set of close-fitting light armor including boots, weighing 55 kilograms. 。The double shields weigh 30 kilograms and the spears weigh 36 kilograms. 。For Xu Jingming, whose body index reached 115, this equipment was indeed relatively light. 。Those heavy armors, weighing hundreds of kilograms, naturally offer much stronger defense. 。Cultivating the is more suitable for choosing what kind of heavy armor. 。

"Rank match, begin!" 。Xu Jingming nodded and got ready. Instantly, five maps appeared in the void before him, and he directly fell into the 'Forest' map. 。After the rain, the mountains and forests, the mountain road muddy 。Xu Jingming descended from nothingness, stepping onto the muddy ground, looking at his surroundings 。The slovenly man muttered to himself in a low voice, a faint smile playing on his lips as he slowly rose to his feet. 。"Wearing only a simple robe and carrying just a single sword" Xu Jingming observed his opponent, "He's in plain clothes, while I wear armor. A spear against a sword, that gives me a significant advantage." 。He was at a huge disadvantage in terms of external equipment, so his own strength might be very strong. 。If strength is weak and equipment is also weak 。That's not challenging at all. 。

"Since you've come to die, I'll send you on your way." 。The slovenly man moved, and with one move his body became blurred, his speed extremely fast, he charged straight at Xu Jingming. 。Xu Jingming stood still, calmly waiting. 。He drew closer!

Xu Jingming held the gun grip in his left hand and the butt of the gun in his right, about to fire. 。"Call" 。As the slovenly man approached, his figure suddenly twisted in a strange way and his long sword flashed. 。。

The longsword struck Xu Jingming's spear, but the spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea. With a slight tremor, the terrifying force of the spear shaft collided with the sword, sending the disheveled man flying backwards. He tapped the nearby tree trunk with his foot and flipped over, landing in the distance. His hand holding the sword trembled. 。"So fast, so agile! " 。Xu Jingming looked at the other person, "My footwork isn't as good as his" 。The slovenly man stared at Xu Jingming and slowly approached him again. 。He also wanted to strike with his sword, but with a three-foot blade and his arm, he had to get close enough to reach Xu Jingming. 。But Xu Jingming's spear was 2.6 meters long, and the slovenly man hadn't even gotten close enough to his attack range when Xu Jingming's spear was already within striking distance! This is the advantage of weaponry! The slovenly man had also been forced to attack Xu Jingming's spear just now >>> 。

One must first split the spear before getting close. 。

Call 。A disheveled man approaches again. 。

Ding ding ding 。He whirled around Xu Jingming, moving at high speed, launching lightning-fast stabs again and again, clashing with Xu Jingming's spear, searching for an opportunity. 。

"My physical prowess surpasses yours, your swordsmanship is decent, but your equipment is lacking. " 。Xu Jingming understood this, "Normal ways to kill enemies are to use equipment advantages against them." 。But... it's not necessary. 。When the disheveled man once again patiently tested and sought an opportunity, 。Xu Jingming's long spear moved in his hand. 。"Hiss!"

A strange whistling sound

A blurry gun shadow tore through the air, even forming a wave of air. The tip of the gun was already in front of the disheveled man. In panic, the disheveled man swung his sword to block, but it was empty. There was already a hole in his throat, and the tip of the gun had even retracted. 。

A slovenly man covered his throat and collapsed. 。"This is my ultimate technique, 'Shadowless Thrust'. Once you enter my attack range, there's no time for you to defend yourself." 。"Xu Jingming said silently, 'Your body speed is faster than mine, but not as fast as my gun.'" 。After slaying the slovenly man, the world of the forest after the rain began to dissipate, and Xu Jingming also returned to the void. 。In the void, a slow-motion replay of the kill appeared in mid-air: Xu Jingming's spear, fast enough to tear through the air, created a wave that split to the sides, and the tip pierced the slovenly man's neck. The slovenly man's waving saber was only halfway through its swing, clearly lagging far behind. 。Combat rating: 98 points 。Level: Divine Level One Star 。

And beside it, Xu Jingming's personal combat power panel appeared——

"An actual combat bonus And an increase in combat power" Xu Jingming understood, "No wonder it was called basic combat power before. Adding the actual combat bonus makes it the complete combat power." 。"When it comes to combat, the timing of attacks and the utilization of various factors are also crucial." 。Xu Jingming is very clear 。Congratulations on passing the ranking match with a near-perfect score. 。“A man in green smiled slightly and said, “I have one more thing to tell you. As of now, the virtual world game has been open for 8 hours and 36 minutes, and there are a total of 32 god-level players in Xia Country.” 。Xu Jingming nodded, there were quite a few who were faster than himself. The land of Xia Guo indeed concealed many dragons and tigers. 。"Would you like to begin the battle" the young man in green asked. "Player battles in the battle space are always five-person teams, facing off against another team of five. You'll fight to the death within one of these environments: forest, snowfield, city, town, or ancient battlefield." 。During battle, you can queue solo and let the game match you with four teammates. 。You can also invite your friends to form a team and compete against each other. 。"A solo queue" Xu Jingming was puzzled, "Queue"

"Yes, now there are only 32 god-level players. Some are practicing in the training ground, some are watching live broadcasts, and some choose to queue then cancel it." 。It may take some time to assemble a team of ten people. 。The young man in green explained, “It’s the first day of the game, there are too few god-level players, and the queue is very slow.” 。Waiting for ten half-months, the queue will be much faster. 。Then let's start queuing. 。“Xu Jingming’s eyes held anticipation, “Those who can now achieve the level of a god are not ordinary masters.” 。Xu Jingming clicked the battle button. 。A prompt appeared—"Six people are ready..."

"There are now six people in line" 。“The man in green said, 'We'll begin the battle once we have ten people.'” 。"

“How long will it take” Xu Jingming asked.

" 。It might take some time, the longest of these six has been waiting for two hours. 。The man in green said, "There were lines earlier, but they were all canceled." 。You can queue up while practicing at the training ground, watching livestreams, or even going offline! Once ten people have gathered, you will receive a notification immediately! Just log in within three minutes. 。Xu Jingming nodded slightly, “Then line up.” 。Once this battle commences, it will be the Xia Kingdom's first god-tier matchup. 。The young man in green said: 。"The first god-level battle in Xia Nation" Xu Jingming pondered. 。d the technique of searching for snakes by pulling grass, striking with great force and pulling at both sides. 。...and he again used the moves of splitting spear and collapsing spear, and also display...
