Chapter 103: Global Crossfire

Translator: CKtalon

At 9 p.m. on October 10, in China’s official livestream channel.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao sat in the stands and drank their beverages as they watched the livestream.

“Jingming, are you really not participating in Global Crossfire on the first day?” Li Miaomiao asked as she drank her coffee.

“There are too many Divine experts worldwide. China has more than 15,000 Divine experts now, and I heard that there are more than 60,000 Divine experts worldwide. The situation is too much of a mess,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ll just watch first and see the strength of the world’s top experts before deciding.”

At the very least, in a Divine battle, nobody in the country was his match other than his master— Liu Hai, who hadn’t revealed his strength. After all, he hadn’t seen anyone reach Lv. 4 for the time being.

“There are 15,000 Divine experts in the country, but I haven’t reached that yet.” Li Miaomiao scratched her nose and lowered her head. “With your teaching, Sister Xiaoqing’s teaching, and Sister Yi’s teaching… So many experts have taught me. It’s been so long since the virtual world’s launch, but my basic combat strength is only 962. I’m still short of 1,000.”

“At your speed, you can reach a basic combat strength of 1,000 in a week,” Xu Jingming comforted. “You’ll be a Divine expert then.”

“Yeah.” Li Miaomiao clenched her fists. “According to the ratio as of now, there’s one Divine expert in 100,000. That’s pretty impressive.”

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “The virtual world was launched more than two months ago, which is equivalent to more than five years of arduous training in reality! Those with some talent can generally reach Divine.”

“You mean that my talent is relatively poor?” Li Miaomiao glared at her boyfriend.

“No, no, no…” Xu Jingming immediately said. “It’s because you didn’t work hard enough. You slack off on certain days, so you’re only one step away from Divine. If you had worked harder, you would’ve succeeded a long time ago. Therefore, you’re quite talented.”

Only then did Li Miaomiao nod in satisfaction.

Xu Jingming heaved a secret sigh of relief.

With the guidance of so many top experts—him, Dai Xiaoqing, and Wang Yi—Li Miaomiao should’ve reached Divine with a little more talent despite not working so hard. After all, the virtual world’s cultivation environment was too good.

In fact, his girlfriend, Li Miaomiao, was only considered average in martial arts talent! She didn’t have the talent to be the one in 100,000.

“I also know that my talent in martial arts and weapons is far inferior to yours. Sigh, this is what it feels like to be surrounded by geniuses…” Li Miaomiao sighed. “It makes me appear so mediocre.”

“Watch the competition. Don’t wallow in self-pity,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“Dear viewers in the livestream, the battle we are live-streaming is between China’s expert team and the EU team.” Liu Xin gazed at the livestream and began the introduction. “China has Fang Yu, who is ranked 12th on the Cosmos Ranking. His four teammates are slightly inferior. As for the EU, there’s Zaha Magnus, who is ranked 15th on the Cosmos Ranking. His four teammates are also ordinary Divine experts. This battle… will mainly depend on the battle between Fang Yu and Zaha.”

“Also, here’s a tidbit for everyone,” Liu Xin said with a smile. “The EU’s official livestream is also live-streaming this battle. The number of viewers has reached 600 million! In China’s official livestream, the number of viewers has exceeded 900 million!”

As the host spoke, the battle began.

It was the modern city map.

Li Miaomiao stood in the stands and said, “From the Cosmos Ranking, Zaha Magnus is the number two expert in the EU. He uses dual axes. Fang Yu’s domestic popularity is very high. After defeating Lei Yunfang, many people in China believe that he’s China’s number two with limitless potential.”

“He has a lot of potential. After all, he’s only 20.” Xu Jingming watched the battle.

In this battle, with Fang Yu and Zaha around, the other eight were simply decorations.

Even a Lv. 2 sharpshooter couldn’t threaten them from a distance. If they approached, they would be easily killed by the two.

“Fang Yu from China?” Zaha was tall and thin. He was 2.19 meters tall and held a pair of battle axes.

Fang Yu was shorter than Zaha, but he was more muscular. He wore heavy armor and held a City-Storming Halberd as he charged at Zaha.

“Hmph.” Zaha snorted coldly and charged forward.

The two were extremely fast and used heavy weapons. Their charge was terrifying.

Whoosh.

The ax in Zaha’s hand struck out with intense might! The ax streaked across the sky, leaving behind afterimages.

Clang!

The extremely-heavy City-Storming Halberd blocked the ax head-on. However, the other battle ax struck from another angle.

Not only were Zaha’s battle axes heavy, but they also had an unpredictable combination. Fang Yu’s heavy armor wouldn’t be able to withstand a single strike.

“Get lost!” Fang Yu swung the City-Storming Halberd in his hand and blocked another strike.

The City-Storming Halberd was extremely ferocious. As it brandished, it left behind black afterimages as it attacked Zaha.

What great strength.?Zaha was also famous for his strength. His two axes had perfectly combined ferocity and bizarreness, but he was suppressed by the City-Storming Halberd.

The strength was too great, and the speed was too fast!

Fang Yu charged forward like a monster! He disdained using throwing weapons.

After consecutively attacking dozens of times, he finally broke through the obstructions of Zaha’s two axes and stabbed through the latter’s chest, causing his body to turn ethereal. Only then did Fang Yu smile excitedly.

He liked the feeling of defeating his opponents one after another!

“Fang Yu!”

“Fang Yu!”

“Fang Yu is invincible!”

“We won!”

“The number two expert in the EU was also defeated by Fang Yu!”

The audience boiled over. After all, it was the first battle on China’s official livestream since Global Crossfire began. Fang Yu had won, so it left the audience pumped.

At the same time, countless viewers in the official livestream of the EU found it unbelievable.

“How is that possible?”

“How can he break through Zaha’s two axes?”

“That Chinese man in black heavy armor actually suppressed Zaha completely. I heard that he’s ranked 12th on the Cosmos Ranking. There are three others ranked higher than him in China: Liu Hai, Lei Yunfang, and Xu Jingming.”

“I’ve done some research on China’s Fang Yu. He’s very impressive now and has defeated Lei Yunfang domestically. Everyone believes that he’s the second strongest person in China.”

“But Zaha still lost.”

The EU citizens felt a dent in their pride. They yearned for their experts to win.

...

Xu Jingming smiled when he saw everyone cheer.

China’s overall strength is much greater than that of the EU,?Xu Jingming thought to himself. However, Xu Jingming recalled his experiences when he possessed Xuan.

“Earth civilization requests permission to connect to the virtual world network.”

“Purchase price…”

“Payment successful.”

Xu Jingming still remembered those things clearly.

If his guess was right, Earth’s civilization was only one of the civilizations in the vast universe.

Xuan is a councilor of the Cosmic Human Alliance. What kind of organization is it??Xu Jingming thought to himself.?Xuan and that armored man are existences that can easily destroy planets and even stars, yet their status isn’t high enough. Then, what kind of status does Earth’s civilization have?

Upon coming into contact with these secrets and seeing the battle, Xu Jingming was naturally extremely calm. He had placed his sights toward the cosmos.

According to Director Zhou, I’ll know the true secret when I’m stronger.?Xu Jingming got up.?Continue becoming stronger!

“You’re not watching anymore?” Li Miaomiao glanced at her boyfriend.

“I’ll watch the videos after the livestream ends,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ll practice at the martial arts arena for a while.”

Li Miaomiao nodded and watched Xu Jingming disappear.

...

In the martial arts arena in his personal space.

Xu Jingming practiced Heavenly Python Evolution over and over again. His mind and will fused into his entire body as he sensed the extreme depths of his body.

Ever since his spearmanship broke through to Lv. 4, he had always wanted to continue breaking through in his evolutionary method! However, a few days had passed, and although he felt that he was getting closer and closer to breaking through as he cultivated, he found himself always a little short.

However, Xu Jingming’s heart was calm. It was as if the stars in his body were spinning as he calmly experienced the changes in his body.

Buzz.

He suddenly trembled.

The fascicles in his body were mobilized, and under the guidance of Heavenly Python Evolution, a change finally happened. This change also caused his body to undergo a complete transformation.

He had another evolution—Heavenly Python Evolution advanced!
