Chapter 1 Unbelievable!

"Incredible! Simply unimaginable!" In the official live broadcast room of the White Eagle Federation, the male host covered his head while watching the slow-motion replay of the final spear strike that killed Miyakawa Akari. "Miyakawa Akari has fought against almost all of the world's top experts. Before this, he had only lost once, after a ten-minute grueling battle against Tiger Fosen, where the battle map shrank, leading to his eventual defeat. Against all other opponents, Miyakawa Akari was undefeated!"

"Undoubtedly, Miyakawa Akari already stood at the global peak, with strength comparable to Tiger. But this battle?" The male host pointed at the slow-motion replay. "When Xia country's Xu Jingming used his spear, it only took one strike! Miyakawa Akari was killed. This is a complete碾压 (niǎn yā - crushing victory)! A completely different level of strength."

"When Xu Jingming charged, his body's top speed reached 163 meters per second! The armor worn by a Beyond Tier expert, even light armor, should weigh over five hundred kilograms, and a spear weighs at least three hundred kilograms, plus his body weight... it must be close to a ton. With such weight, how could he be faster than Miyakawa Akari?" The male host looked utterly baffled.

"Also, when he held his spear and rushed in front of Miyakawa Akari, the spear suddenly thrust out! The virtual world showed that the spear's maximum speed reached 403 meters per second! A strike at such speed at close range was impossible for Miyakawa Akari to block. I can't understand how a spear weighing hundreds of kilograms could be thrust out so quickly?"

"I heard that Xu Jingming of Xia country is nicknamed Gun Demon! It's definitely a fitting name. This Gun Demon's spearmanship... is truly terrifying! This is a strength that completely surpasses Miyakawa Akari and Tiger Fosen."

Even the White Eagle Federation's host had to admit Xu Jingming's strength.

In the official live broadcast rooms of other countries, in the face of the data displayed in the virtual world, they all understood the terror of this 'Xia country Gun Demon'.

"Wah! Once the Xia country Gun Demon displays his spearmanship, Miyakawa Akari can't block a single move. I suspect that even if Tiger Fosen of the White Eagle Federation were to appear, he wouldn't be able to block more than a few moves. I even doubt... whether Tiger Fosen's armor, which is claimed to be the heaviest in the world, can withstand Xu Jingming's spear thrust!" In the Rakshasa Country's live broadcast room, the host praised him.

This wasn't a thrown weapon. Although thrown weapons are fast, reaching two or three times the speed of sound, they only weigh a few kilograms. Their power is only slightly stronger than a sniper rifle bullet in reality.

Xu Jingming's thrust also exceeded the speed of sound, and the spear weighed three hundred and sixty kilograms. This spear... was comparable to some rocket-propelled grenades.

"The Xia country Gun Demon's strength is so great that I suspect his current strength may already be number one in the world! The previous global number one, Liu Hai, has never fought globally. After all, he is over seventy years old, and he had an advantage in the early stages due to years of accumulation. But in the later stages, his growth rate could not keep up with the younger generation." The host of the Indian country's official live broadcast room said.

"Like our country's strongest, Haru Singh, who is only twenty-five years old this year. Like the newly emerging Merritt of the Roman Empire, who is only twenty-two years old, has surpassed the older generation's Riven Gullit and become the number one in the Roman Empire. There is also the Rakshasa country's dazzling 'Akinlov', who is only twenty-nine years old and the same age as Xu Jingming! Akinlov has also entered the Fourth Order, and his strength is close to Alan Emelianenko. Miyakawa Akari of the Sakura country is only seventeen years old, and Xia country also has a Fourth Order expert named Zhao Fan, who is only eighteen years old!"

"Although the older generation was strong in the past, over time, they will be gradually surpassed by the new experts that emerge around the world. It is very normal for Liu Hai to be surpassed by Xu Jingming."

……

The live broadcast rooms of various countries all had comments on this battle.

The Xia country's official live broadcast room had become a sea of joy, with countless people excitedly cheering.

"How is Xu Jingming so strong? He's so much stronger than Miyakawa Akari! They are not even on the same level. That means Xu Jingming can also虐 (nüè - to abuse, to torment) Tiger Fosen, just thinking about it makes me happy!"

"Could Xu Jingming be stronger than Liu Hai?"

"It's really possible! The strength that Xu Jingming displayed is too strong, much stronger than the current top experts in the world. He may already be number one in the world."

"No matter who is number one in the world, they are still from our Xia country."

"Awesome, awesome!"

People cheered happily. As long as a Xia country person could be number one, everyone would be satisfied and extremely happy.

"Jingming, has his strength reached this point?" Liu Hai stood up from the stands, happy with his disciple's growth, but also feeling pressure. "I thought that in the first year of the virtual world's opening, I could still bully these little guys. It's only been three months! Jingming has grown to the same level as me."

"I have to work harder."

"Otherwise, next time Jingming comes to spar with me and蹂躏 (róu lìn - to trample on, to ravage) me, it would be too embarrassing." Liu Hai couldn't help but panic at the thought of being ravaged by his disciple.

Although he hoped that his disciples would become successful and that they would all be excellent, he absolutely didn't want to accept the result of being蹂躏 (róu lìn - to trample on, to ravage) by his disciple. If he was really inferior... he would rather not compete.

Whoosh.

Liu Hai left the live broadcast room to practice even more desperately.

In the live broadcast rooms of various countries, the top experts around the world were also stimulated by Xu Jingming's strength.

"Xia country Gun Demon? No wonder he is called Gun Demon." The Rakshasa country's number one genius, a man named 'Akinlov' who was shorter than Alan Emelianenko, only one meter seventy-six tall, also stood up.

"What amazing spearmanship." Haru Singh also felt the pressure and went to practice as well.

"I really look forward to fighting the Xia country Gun Demon, but unfortunately, I don't want to be abused right now. I'll wait until my strength is not weaker than his before fighting." Merritt, the current number one expert in the Roman Empire, got up and left the live broadcast room.

Whether they were young experts or older experts, everyone became more invigorated and worked harder.

******

In Tiger Fosen's personal space training ground, there was a mountain forest.

Tiger Fosen was wearing heavy armor weighing 2.6 tons. After reaching the Beyond Tier body, his opponent's strength became even more terrifying, and the weight of his armor naturally had to increase! According to the rules of the virtual world, the defense would only increase with density for the same armor model.

The 2.35-meter tall Tiger, wearing heavy armor, wielded two axes, each weighing three hundred kilograms, and swung them to chop at the trees in front of him.

Bang, bang, bang! One axe after another, and after a few swings, a tree thicker than a person's waist crashed down.

"This tree is too weak, it needs to be more resilient." Tiger adjusted the data, and the tree's resilience immediately increased.

Tiger continued to swing his axe.

This time, it took more than a dozen swings to fell a tree, and Tiger was satisfied. He chopped down one tree after another. His father was a lumberjack, and he liked logging when he was a child, swinging his small axe to chop wood.

Later, when he grew up, he became a boxer.

In his eyes, his opponents were just pieces of wood, and he just needed to punch and chop.

The upper cut and the diagonal chop were seemingly simple boxing techniques, but their power and speed were incredibly terrifying, allowing him to sweep the heavyweight boxing world and remain invincible at the age of fifty-three, becoming arguably the greatest heavyweight boxer in history. After retiring, he grew old, and he returned to his hometown, logging every day.

Just like logging with his father when he was a child! If he didn't log every day, he felt like he was missing something.

After the virtual world opened, he picked up his beloved axe!

With a pair of axes, he was invincible!

It was just that on the Starry Sky Ranking, the global number one was Liu Hai, and he was the global number two! That was an old guy who was even older than him. Tiger understood that an old guy could still have such strength, and he must be passionate about martial arts at his core.

"Tiger." A figure appeared, an elderly black man.

"Director." Tiger glanced at the old man and stopped his axe.

The person who came was the Director of the Life Evolution Bureau of the White Eagle Federation.

"You've noticed, haven't you? Xu Jingming's strength is completely above yours." The black elder said, "And currently in the world, those with similar strength to Xu Jingming are Liu Hai and Tiano Xilai! All three of them are stronger than you, are you still not in a hurry?"

"The virtual world has only been open for three months, what's the rush?" Tiger Fosen said with a smile, "Old guys like me are the most patient. My father said that you have to be slow and deliberate in everything you do. Just like he loved his logging all his life."

The black elder frowned.

"I've been learning the *Fifth-Order Axe Technique* for three months, and I've learned it pretty well. My own axe technique has also fully reached the Fourth Order... The previous *Fifth-Order Axe Technique* doesn't help much anymore." Tiger nodded, "It's time to accept a legacy."

The black elder breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly, "Eighth-Order legacy, or possession by a Cosmic Legend?"

"I want to feel the strength of a Cosmic Legend." Tiger smiled, "I've never been a very smart person, and I only know a few moves in boxing, and I only know those moves in axe techniques. I have trouble learning the Fifth-Order legacy, so forget about the Eighth-Order legacy. It's better to learn axe techniques directly from a Cosmic Legend expert, it might be more suitable for me."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." The black elder revealed a look of joy.

Although the White Eagle Federation has also seen the emergence of some young talents, from the current data, there is still a gap between them and Tiger Fosen. Moreover, the black elder was very clear that both of the Xia country's representatives have accepted legacies, but Tiger has not yet accepted a legacy!

This stubborn Tiger had to be slow and wait until he had learned the Fifth-Order Axe Technique almost completely before accepting better resources.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During these three days, the media around the world was still discussing Xu Jingming's spearmanship! This was currently the strongest strength they had observed in the world, and they naturally studied Xu Jingming from all angles and in all aspects.

"My control over my body has improved a bit, and the Evolution Method has also increased to 43%." Liu Hai came to the Starry Sky Tower, also somewhat stimulated by his disciple Xu Jingming. He had worked very hard for these three days, completely immersed in cultivation, and finally made some breakthroughs.

A breakthrough in the Shield-Blade Technique naturally increased the Evolution Method a bit.

His strength had increased across the board.

"In the past, I could clearly see the Monkey King's flaws, but I couldn't grasp them. Now I should be able to grasp them. As long as I turn small advantages into large advantages, I can kill the Monkey King." Liu Hai looked at the Starry Sky Tower and then stepped inside.

Twenty-six minutes later.

On the huge ranking list next to the Starry Sky Tower, a new huge ranking list slowly unfolded.

Starry Sky Ranking (Fourth Layer)——

Global First: Liu Hai (Xia country)
