Countless Experts (1)

Xu Jingming devoted himself to combat. His opponents—these peak Lv. 8s from all the civilizations in the Hunter Cosmic Sector—had their own strengths, and each one of them gave him a totally different experience.

There were people who were good at movement techniques with their bodies seemingly shuttling between reality and illusion. Xu Jingming relied on Light Rays’s faster movement technique and his spearmanship that was as fast as light to barely win. However, Xu Jingming believed that he was inferior to his opponent in terms of concealment and bizarreness.

There was a person who was good at palm techniques. He seemed to have a thousand arms that combined strength and variations. The might of one strike was enough to sink thousands of kilometers of land. Xu Jingming’s exploitation of his movement technique advantage and his spear shadows that were like streaming light made his opponent unable to defend in time and ultimately lose.

It also made Xu Jingming sigh inwardly. It was no wonder Xuan pursued the limits of speed! Having the advantage in speed gave him a huge advantage in combat.

One had extremely deep attainments in Energy Manifestation, and he was like a lightning god. He held two spears, and wherever the spears passed, mountains turned to dust. The combination of the two spears was even more unpredictable. Xu Jingming was at a disadvantage when fighting him with his spear. Finally, he switched to dual shields and crushed his opponent fair and square…

Xu Jingming also reflected and reviewed after every battle. He occasionally gained new insights into Light Rays, and every time he gained insights, he was endlessly delighted.

It felt good to improve!

“Thunder God Might actually lost as well.”

“Many people at the limit of Lv. 8 can’t block Might’s dual spears.”

“This Wu Ming is really fast—he’s even faster than Might! He had the chance to switch to dual shields thanks to his advantage in speed. Only by wielding dual shields could he withstand Might’s dual spear strikes! With his super speed and ferocious strength, he seriously injured Might’s Thunder God body with a single shield strike.”

“His spearmanship and shield techniques are impressive. There are only two Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms in our home galaxy, but I can see peak Lv 8s just strolling about the virtual world.”

“From the looks of his shield technique, if he were to use it in reality, half a planet’s life would probably be wiped out with a single strike.”

“Anyone who dares to do this will either end up in cosmic prison or be sent to the alien battlefield as cannon fodder.”

“We have to be grateful for the Cosmic Human Alliance’s rules. Otherwise, these Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms would be terrifying if they were bent on destruction. My heart trembles whenever I see them fight.”

The audience was very excited.

In particular, some of the contestants Xu Jingming encountered were extremely popular. Defeating these celebrity experts increased his number of followers.

One million, two million, five million, ten million… Xu Jingming’s fans kept increasing in number.

“This Wu Ming is amazing. He keeps winning.”

“Peak Lv. 8 experts just keep falling before him.”

“How many consecutive wins has it been?”

“He’s already won 19 consecutive matches! His ranking keeps rising.”

“This Wu Ming is too cold. More than 300,000 people are watching, but he doesn’t interact with us.”

“He’s a peak Lv. 8, and he might be some aristocrat in reality. Not all peak Lv. 8s… interact with the audience.”

“Based on my experience from watching apex battles for more than a thousand years and based on the data gathered, the movement technique and spearmanship Wu Ming used are in line with the Primordial Research Institute’s style. He might be a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute.”

“Seriously? From the Primordial Research Institute?”

“More than half of the people who can reach the forefront of Battle of the Universe’s Apex are geniuses from the 17 top factions.”

The audience was chatting.

…

Xu Jingming immersed himself in combat. After winning 30 consecutive matches, he finally lost.

The opponent’s name was Artisan Atien. In Life Evolution’s Battle of the Universe’s Apex, most of these peak Lv. 8s didn’t use their real names. ‘Artisan Atien’ was a four-armed man that was 2.72 meters tall.

His four arms held four sabers of different lengths, and each was different in their own right. However, Xu Jingming was completely suppressed in battle. His movement technique was faster, but once he clashed with the other party, he was ‘stuck’ and couldn’t escape! He didn’t even have the chance to switch to dual shields.

He barely blocked dozens of strikes with his spear before being struck and seriously injured.

Once he was injured, the other party naturally wouldn’t give him a chance and kept attacking! Xu Jingming couldn’t recover completely and was forced to admit defeat.

I lost. Xu Jingming was sitting on a rock on a lonely planet. He was scrolling through a timeline and replaying it in slow motion, carefully watching the battle.

Impressive. Xu Jingming watched the other party use four sabers. With the perfect combination of the four saber techniques, even if I can crack his long saber, I have to face his short saber. His combat strategy… allows a lot of room for error.

No matter how strong I am, I can’t crack his saber technique. Xu Jingming gradually understood through the slow-motion replay. It’s like the other party is fighting a war. He seizes every chance of victory, making me feel like I’m being controlled. I can’t escape the predicament until I’m defeated.

Xu Jingming opened the other party’s interface.

th in the Frost Star Alliance? Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up. It was impressive to enter the top 1,000 with so many experts in a Star Alliance.

Even with such strength, I can’t enter the top 100,000 in the Hunter Cosmic Sector? Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. There’s always someone better. There are too many experts in the Hunter Cosmic Sector.

For example, Senior Brother Gu Shan, Senior Sister Moyu, and the others were Lv. 8 in the Hunter Cosmic Sector. All of them would enter the ranks as long as they participated in Battle of the Universe’s Apex.
