“Please have player Jingming enter the arena.” A reminder sounded within the private room.

Xu Jingming smiled slightly at his parents, younger brother, and younger sisters beside him, “I’ll go in first.”

“Be careful.” His father, Jing Yulong, looked worried.

“If you can’t win, just concede quickly.” His mother, Yuan Yu, also said worriedly, “Safety first.”

They had enjoyed watching the previous matches, but when their own family member entered the arena, they became anxious. Especially since the previous two weaker races had been unilaterally crushed.

“Big brother.” The group of younger siblings looked at Xu Jingming. Even little Jiu, who was just over a year old, stared at her big brother with wide eyes. The assistant, Ni Yun, the bodyguards, and everyone else were also a little nervous.

“Don’t worry.” Xu Jingming smiled and, swoosh, disappeared from the private room, appearing in the arena several kilometers away.

“So fast.” Jing Yulong and his wife, along with the large group, felt their scalps tingle.

When Xu Jingming was with them before, casually revealing a level thirty or forty strength was already amazing. But now that he was truly displaying his strength, even his speed left them speechless.

They would only marvel when other powerhouses displayed their maximum speed exceeding 100,000 meters per second.

But seeing their own family member display such speed was a hundred or a thousand times more stimulating.

“I was so relaxed watching the previous matches, but why am I so nervous now?” Mother Yuan Yu said, “I can hardly breathe.”

“The match is about to begin.” Father Jing Yulong was also very worried. At the same time, a light screen was suspended beside him, showing the broadcast of the matches being held in the seven human nations.

…

The entire world understood the special nature of this Myriad Races Competition. Therefore, when there was a human powerhouse among the 300 official contestants, the seven human nations were in an uproar. Countless humans had long been looking forward to this match.

“Lord Jingming has appeared.”

“Lord Jingming, I love you!”

“Lord Jingming’s speed when he appeared already exceeded 100,000 meters per second. This is the strength of our human powerhouse!!!”

Countless people watched the broadcast scene with fervor.

The humans also arranged for a host and two commentators for the match.

“Lord Jingming being able to enter the main competition in this competition that is the focus of ten thousand races is already an incredibly great achievement! Among nearly ten thousand races, there are only nine powerhouses from weaker races who were able to enter the main competition. Our human race occupies one of those spots. This is the pride of our entire human race.” The host was so excited that his face was flushed red. “Although the match hasn’t started yet, Lord Jingming has already won! Just being able to stand on this arena is an incredibly great victory! It’s a victory worthy of being recorded in history.”

“Actually, Lord Jingming is very relaxed about this match.” A commentator beside him also said, “Weaker races are much weaker than powerful races, so losing is a very normal thing. Mentally, Lord Jingming has the advantage.”

“Lord Jingming is on stage to fully display the strength of our human powerhouse. Winning or losing isn’t that important.”

The host and commentators spoke, trying to soothe the people’s minds in advance.

Of course, countless people thought the same thing in their hearts. Wasn’t it only natural for weaker races to be suppressed? In the past million years, only three human contestants had ever reached the arena.

This competition was of extraordinary significance. Being able to enter the arena was enough to make the human race sing and dance! What was the need for victory?

We don’t need victory! We’re already very happy!

“Lord Jingming is my most admired idol.”

“I’ve already posted Lord Jingming’s portrait on my bedside. Seeing Lord Jingming every day, I train even harder.”

Countless people expressed their opinions. The online media in the seven human nations was full of celebration. This day might be the most lively and festive day in countless humans’ lives.

“The match has begun.” The host and the two commentators immediately focused on watching the match, and countless viewers held their breath.

*******

In the arena.

Xu Jingming stood there, looking from afar at the Mountain Demon race’s ‘Badi Shen’ several kilometers away. The opponent was 65 meters tall, like a small mountain. Badi Shen was also carefully observing this opponent.

The two exchanged glances.

Xu Jingming was participating with the mentality of training himself, but Badi Shen was different. Having descended into the Mountain Demon race, he had to seize every competition in the early stages.

“Hmph.” Badi Shen moved first. Seemingly as majestic as a mountain, he was incredibly fast, crashing towards Xu Jingming like a bolt of lightning.

“Yo~~”

Badi Shen heard the cry of a flying bird and saw a giant divine bird flying with its wings spread, the wings transforming into countless afterimages. Badi Shen’s eyes narrowed, and he focused his mind power, breaking through the mental influence and seeing Xu Jingming’s true form.

At this moment, Xu Jingming had already flown into the air, pouncing straight at Badi Shen.

Badi Shen brought his hands together, as if two giant doors were closing, sealing off Xu Jingming’s forward route while simultaneously enveloping and suppressing him.

“Bang.”

Xu Jingming, in mid-air, stepped on the center of Badi Shen’s left palm. He felt a terrifying force being transmitted, and Xu Jingming borrowed the force to retreat violently.

“His mind power is also quite strong. My *Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* (Mind God Weapon Combat Art) has a relatively weak influence on him,” Xu Jingming judged. This was also normal; after all, those who could enter the main competition among more than 5 million high-dimensional lifeforms were all extraordinary.

His own mind power was still in the process of practicing the seventh realm of the Eight Directions Diagram, the ‘My Dao Realm.’

Dao, was something that had to be walked step by step.

How long would it take to practice ‘My Dao’?

There was no accurate answer. For high-dimensional lifeforms of the mind lineage, it was very normal to be unable to complete the cultivation of the ‘My Dao Realm’ in their entire lives. Even half-step third-realm mind lineage practitioners might not have cultivated ‘My Dao Realm.’

Xu Jingming hadn’t researched the ultimate art, *Xin Shen Bing*, for long enough, so his current ability to influence minds wasn’t too strong.

“Whoosh.”

Xu Jingming moved at super high speed, using his agility to his advantage, and fought with the towering Badi Shen.

The Thousand Shadow Flying Crane Stance, the Ape Demon Heart-Piercing Stance, and the Violent Tiger Tearing the Sky Stance of the *Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* were also integrated into one furnace, used effortlessly, shaking the opponent’s mind while repeatedly attacking the opponent’s vital points.

Badi Shen was highly vigilant in his mind, resisting the mental interference, while also using his physical advantages, attacking repeatedly. Each of his kicks was unmatched in power, and each of his palms tore through the sky.

…

Inside the private room, the Jing family was nervously watching the match, watching the live broadcast while also looking at the slow-motion replay on the light screen. The slow-motion replay allowed them to more clearly discern the situation on the field.

“Big brother’s strength is so amazing.” The group of younger siblings only felt their hearts tremble. They knew that their big brother was extraordinary, but today was the first time they had truly witnessed their big brother’s strength.

Jing Yulong and his wife, however, had their fists clenched tightly.

“Don’t worry.” Jing Yulong comforted his wife, “Our son is fighting the Mountain Demon race powerhouse, at least he hasn’t been beaten until he’s vomiting blood! He’s doing much better than the previous two weaker race powerhouses.”

His wife, Yuan Yu, nodded.

On the light screen next to them, the host and commentators were also nervously commentating.

“Lord Jingming is too amazing. The Mountain Demon race is huge, with terrifying strength and speed, but Lord Jingming can avoid the Mountain Demon race’s truly fatal attacks. Even if the Mountain Demon race barely touches Lord Jingming, it can’t hurt Lord Jingming.”

“Lord Jingming is more agile, and also good at borrowing strength. In my opinion, Lord Jingming might be able to turn the tables!”

“I also think that if Lord Jingming persists, he has a chance of winning.”

The host and the two commentators praised him.

As long as there was a sliver of hope, the human host and commentators dared to exaggerate it into five or even seven points!

Countless human viewers were filled with enthusiasm, wishing they could rush up and beat the Mountain Demon race!

“I’m willing to use 100 years of my life to exchange for Lord Jingming’s victory.”

“Lord Jingming, defeat that Mountain Demon race!”

Just as the human viewers were going wild—

Bang!

Xu Jingming was struck by a palm and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the protective shield, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This stunned all the celebrating humans, and they fell silent.

…

After Xu Jingming crashed into the shield and landed, he stared at the Mountain Demon race’s ‘Badi Shen’ in front of him. Badi Shen’s facial muscles were torn, with blood on them, but the wounds were healing quickly.

“His skin and muscle layers are too thick. My Ape Demon Heart-Piercing Stance, which is best at penetrating power, can still only wound his surface.” Xu Jingming had risked injury earlier to give the opponent a blow to the face.

The opponent had taken a heavy blow, and finally struck Xu Jingming with a palm.

Both sides were injured.

However, Xu Jingming recovered faster.

“What a tough body.” After hitting Xu Jingming, Badi Shen was surprised. “With such a tough body, it won’t be easy to defeat him. I have to use the moves I was preparing to hide until the later stages.”

Xu Jingming being sent flying and spitting blood after being hit by a palm looked quite miserable, but in reality, he had also used the momentum to unload the force. This little bit of injury would naturally recover in just one second.

The tougher the body, the faster the recovery.

In these years, Xu Jingming first used the Eight Directions Diagram’s Life and Death Realm to tap into the potential of his physical body, and later pondered ways to improve his body in the ‘My Dao Realm.’ Since descending, for more than three hundred years, his body refinement methods had been continuously improved, and Xu Jingming’s physical fitness had reached level 61, and was not far from level 62.

“In these years, I created five stances of the *Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa*, but this Mountain Demon race is thick-skinned and too large. Only the fourth stance poses some threat to him.” Xu Jingming also confirmed this after a brief exchange. “Powerful races are indeed formidable. The first match is forcing me to fight desperately.”

Xu Jingming’s body suddenly began to swell.

From his previous height of 1.8 meters, he grew to a full 2.6 meters.

His muscles became much thicker. Before, he was very lean, but now his muscles had enlarged all around! The fiery aura emanating from his body distorted the surrounding air.

“His body has grown bigger?”

“Grown bigger?”

Countless viewers were both astonished and expectant.

In the front row of the audience, the Ant race powerhouse, Ha Fu Cheng, watched this scene and nodded slightly. “The larger the body, the larger the bones and muscles can be, so naturally they can have more power.” In these years, he had been deliberately making himself bigger, transforming himself from an ordinary ant race member to a size comparable to an ant race noble.

…

“The larger the body, the higher the upper limit of power.” Xu Jingming thought to himself, “Now I’m in a state of complete eruption. My muscles and bones are perfectly erupting, my power has increased by 80%, my speed has increased by 10%, and the only drawback is that my agility has decreased by about 30%.”

The Mountain Demon race’s Badi Shen saw this scene and said in a low voice, “Even if your body gets bigger, you’re still a tiny little thing.”

As he spoke, Badi Shen brought his palms together, having already decided to use his hidden moves.

“Take this!” Xu Jingming suddenly stomped on the ground, moving faster and more fiercely than before, turning into an afterimage.

“Die.”

The Mountain Demon race’s Badi Shen waved his palms, and suddenly, ten sharp, pointed fingernails separated from his fingers and shot towards Xu Jingming at terrifying speed.

This was a move that Badi Shen had been preparing for a long time. Reaching their level, they had reached an unimaginable degree of control over their bodies. Naturally, they could use sharp fingernails as hidden weapons. He was good at hidden weapons in the outside world, and he had practiced this move for a long time, which could also make up for his clumsiness.

Each of the ten sharp fingernails was more than a meter long, like ten short spears, and their speed of breaking through the air far exceeded Xu Jingming’s moving speed. With ten of them attacking at the same time, Xu Jingming couldn’t dodge at all.

“Can’t dodge.” Xu Jingming’s eyes turned red. In the erupted state, his agility was greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to avoid them. “Then I won’t dodge!”

Xu Jingming gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength and stomped on the ground, erupting with even more violent speed.

Facing the ten short spear-like sharp fingernails, instead of dodging, he rushed forward even faster.

Puchi!

Xu Jingming’s abdomen was slashed, creating a huge wound, and blood splattered.

There was madness in Xu Jingming’s eyes.

“Only after the Life and Death Realm, is there My Dao Realm.”

“Only by transcending life and death can one truly… practice My Dao!!!”

“Roar~~”

A towering giant bear appeared in the arena, roaring at the sky, filled with endless anger, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and charged towards the Mountain Demon race’s Badi Shen.

*Xin Shen Bing Zhan Fa* fourth stance—Demon Bear Sky-Splitting Stance!

The Mountain Demon race’s Badi Shen heard that roar, saw the Demon Bear charging towards him, and couldn’t help but tremble in his heart. “My mind is being influenced.” He retreated violently while trying to shake off the mental interference.

But suddenly—

Bang!

Badi Shen only felt a buzzing in his head, and his body flew backward uncontrollably. Ka! The sound of his skull cracking made Badi Shen, who was flying backward and crashing into the shield, shudder.

“I concede.” Badi Shen shouted quickly.

The mind power that was spreading out and affecting him receded, and Badi Shen could finally see clearly that Xu Jingming was descending from mid-air.

Badi Shen touched his head. With his ability to sense his body, he could sense that there were already multiple cracks in his skull. “Two more hits, and my brains would be splattered out. I would be dead.”

There was some regret in Xu Jingming’s eyes. “The Mountain Demon race’s body is indeed powerful. My life-or-death strike transcending life and death, the Demon Bear Sky-Splitting Stance, didn’t directly kill him even when it hit his head.”

“Human race Jingming wins!” The competition host, Golden-Haired Pan Qiu, spoke in a high-pitched and excited voice. “The first weak race to win this competition has been born! Human race Jingming, has defeated the Mountain Demon race’s Badi Shen.”

“Human race Jingming!”

“Jingming!”

“Jingming!”

Cheers like mountain and sea, countless viewers of the weaker races in the entire arena were completely boiling over. The tiny Ant race, Bee race, Mantis race, etc., were all jumping on their seats, going crazy. There were also humans, dwarves, elves and other races abandoning their elegance, shouting excitedly.

The weak race had finally won, finally won once!

At this moment, the broadcast screen also spread to all parts of the Myriad Race World, and the viewers of the Seven Human Nations were even more completely stunned.
