Chapter 30: Sixteen to Eight

he saw his companion being killed. 。Too fast. 。 。"Shadow Strike" 。"Wang Qiao saw Xu Jingming, “You still found the opportunity.” 。The body was ethereal, fading away. 。Wang Qiao was executed. 。Although...At 9 p.m. Beijing time on June 4th, the knockout rounds of the World Martial Arts Championship began, with a total of eight matches. 。The first match of the day is between Xia Guo's Tu Ling and Roma Kingdom's Mickey. Tu Ling is the youngest competitor in this World Martial Arts Championship, while Mickey has much more practical experience. However, all three guests beside me are rooting for Tu Ling. 。The female host said 。The match has already begun, and Tu Ling and Mickey have both entered the battle map. 。This is a modern city map 。Tu Ling jumped from a tall building, landing on the street below. She waited openly for Mickey to arrive. 。Mickey was wearing armor and wielding twin blades. 。Mickey's dual-sword technique was very refined, but he ultimately couldn't break through to the fifth rank. The gap between him and Xia Guo's Tu Ling was still too large. 。。"Male guest Owen said:" 。The two fought. 。Mickey transformed into a shadow, rushing to Tuling's side. 。Blades flashed, striking relentlessly. 。Tu Ling stood her ground, her left hand's shield parrying simply! She deflected all the blades of light, blocking over ten strikes before Tu Ling finally swung out a sword. 。Her blade… caught Mickey completely off guard. He didn't have time to react before it flashed across his throat. 。"Fifth order" 。Mickey's body became translucent, and he sighed softly, "The difference between the fourth and fifth order is too vast." 。"Tul Ling finally drew her sword, one strike! And defeated Mickey." 。"The male guest Jin Fan excitedly said, "After defending for more than ten moves in a stalemate, Tu Ling made his move! The gap between the two sides is really too big!"

……

"The second match is between Tiaiano*Silere from Bovana and Livin*Gullit from Rome. Both have reached the fifth rank, and the battle will surely be more exciting" 。The female host said as she looked at the live broadcast scene. 。That is a map of the forest. 。In the forest, Tiaan *Xilei wore black light armor, facing Rivein *Gulitte with empty hands. 。"Empty-handed" Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tyger *Forson, Madeline *Logan, Yeshalova, Haru *Singh and other masters all looked solemn. 。"Madeline Logan at least fights wearing gloves, but Tia Noa Sirei relies on just her bare hands" Li Miaomiao wondered. 。He was clearly confident. 。Xu Jingming looked intently. 。"No weapons at all Not even gloves" Greguilt, clad in heavy armor and wielding a massive hammer, glared at Tyrano. 。

Tia nodded and laughed, "You big lug, if you have the guts, wait till you meet me!" 。

Humph 。With a cold snort, Reven*Gullet instantly shot out, his speed soaring to about 290 meters per second. His entire figure blurred completely. 。Under the weight of his terror, every move he made had a terrifying kinetic energy. His massive hammer swung with the force of something that could crush everything in its path. 。

Call

The sledgehammer crushed Tiano. 。Tia's figure vanished strangely, but suddenly appeared beside Wen * Guli. Her right hand, like a phantom, lightly tapped Wen * Guli's face with her fingertip. 。Gulliver stopped, staring at Tyrano in disbelief. "How is that possible" His double-hammer defense was very strong, but Tyrano had struck him with a single finger to the face on their first meeting. 。"If I had just exerted myself a little more just now, your head would have gone *boom*... and that would be that." 。"Tyranno smiled at Rivwen *Guillette, "But it's rare to have a fifth-order opponent, I'll give you three chances" 。Geralt was more cautious and deliberate this time. He charged forward suddenly, swinging his hammer with force in one attack, then parrying carefully in the next. 。

Tia's body once again vanished in a strange way. 。"Pfft"

The back of the head was gently tapped. 。

Guriet turned incredulously to look behind him. 。You are really too slow. 。"Tyrano * Xilei was standing behind him, "Your weapon skills are poor defense, and your speed is slow. How do you fight people"

"Roar!"

Rwen * Guller suddenly roared, turning his waist and wielding the two battlehammers in his hand, Tyrano * Xilei once again flashed. 。Whoosh! In his rage, Lewin *Gullit hurled the twin hammers in his hands with all his might, aiming for the blurred shadow. 。

"Poof" 。"Tiana stood before Rivil*Gullit, her fingertip pressed against his brow." 。Three chances, I've given you all three. 。Tiffany smiled. 。"Boom" 。"Ruelitte said nothing. He suddenly lunged forward, like a huge bear charging." 。Tianya's figure flashed, and she had already arrived at a distance to pick up a great hammer. 。

“Boom——”

Following his swing of the hammer, he instantly arrived at Reven * Gurite's side, slamming a blow onto Reven * Gurite's waist. Reven * Gurite was wearing heavy armor weighing a staggering 9.6 tons with an astonishing density and incredibly high defense. 。Logically speaking, even if it was a fifth-rank expert, even if they used heavy weapons, they would only be able to injure him. 。But the impact of this blow from Livin*Gruitt was beyond Livin*Gruitt's comprehension. 。。One blow, smashing through heavy armor, killing it outright!

"Uh... " 。"Gulliver clutched his hammer in one hand, swinging it twice. "Too clumsy," 。With a casual flick, the sledgehammer flew far away. 。

The game is over.

Xu Jingming, Liu Hai and a group of people looked on with solemn expressions. 。"This... this..." The host and three guests were all dumbfounded. 。His speed, the highest he reached was 387 meters per second. 。"Anne, the female guest, exclaimed in disbelief, 'Berilven is almost 100 meters per second faster!'" 。And he was too agile, Liwen looked like slow motion in front of him. 。In the slowed-down combat scene, Tiyanuo was indeed far more agile than his opponents, playfully toying with them at will. 。"He crushed Revin with a single strike"

"That power is terrifying. Even Revin *Gulte was at the peak of the fifth rank..." 。The host and guests, watching the slow-motion footage, were even more astonished. 。

“Jingming” 。Li Miaomiao watched the post-game commentary and couldn't help but look at Xu Jingming, "Tiaono, isn't he a bit too strong" 。As the competition progressed, one by one, they began to showcase their true abilities. 。“Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up. ‘Such an opponent is too rare, I really look forward to fighting him.’ 。“Looking at the world, there are too few things worth dedicating yourself to.” 。Tiaona made Xu Jingming feel threatened, but it also made him more excited and expectant. 。The third match was between Liu Hai from Xia Country and Japlov from the Roman Country. 。“Oh...” Liu Hai used his shield, striking six times. The first three strikes were defensive, the last three offensive. Each strike was stronger than the last, and the final blow killed Jafarov. 。The host and guests watched the playback. 。The battle was just too fast, it was hard to see what was happening. 。I only felt six shields in a row, the battle ended!

"Thank you" 。When Japlov's figure flickered, he also bowed slightly in gratitude. Liu Hai could have killed him with one move, or toyed with him, but by normally outputting six shields, he had face and enough pressure. 。In this knockout round of the top 16, three Roman martial arts masters were surprisingly eliminated in the first three matches. This shows how strong the martial arts culture is in Rome. However, all three Roman masters were eliminated, which also exposed a problem: when it comes to the very top tier of fighters, Rome may be lacking. 。The fourth match is a rare encounter between Madeleine Rogan of the White Eagle Federation and Alex of the Amazonian Republic, two top female players. 。“The female host said with great pleasure,” 。Alex, with long, dark brown hair and features sculpted like a masterpiece, exudes an air of nobility and strength. She is a strikingly beautiful woman who also possesses the fierceness of a female warrior. 。She wields a shield in one hand and a short sword in the other. 。

"Pff" 。In the ancient battlefield map, Alex's thrusting short sword and wielded shield were effortlessly caught by Madeline *Logan's two hands. 。After grabbing it, Alex pulled and pulled but couldn't budge it. 。

"Boom" 。Madeline *Logan's lips curled into a slight smirk, a hint of coldness in her eyes. She pushed her shield and short sword forward with both hands, slamming them into Alex's body. Alex was sent flying backwards, dissolving into nothingness mid-air. 。"Alex!" The citizens of the Amazonian Federal Republic were heartbroken. Their national pride, their only representative to reach the main tournament, had been eliminated in the round of sixteen. 。Fifth match, Yevgeniya Yashina against Minami Miyagawa 。"Whizz whizz whizz..."Like an angel, Ye Shalowa, beloved by countless viewers, shot arrows. Each arrow was more terrifying than the last, and she had been holding back, gradually increasing the power of each shot. 。"Miyagawa Akiko," who had just broken through to the fifth rank, hadn't yet broken through her evolution method. Although her movements were agile, she found it incredibly difficult to withstand arrows shot with the power of a god. 。This arrow is too terrifying. 。Kagawa Akira felt suffocated, barely holding on until the sixth arrow, which pierced through Kagawa Akira's body. 。"Miyagawa!" Countless citizens of Sakura Country were unwilling to believe it, the only player from Sakura Country to enter the main competition was eliminated. 。The sixth game finally came, and Xu Jingming's turn to play arrived. 。

Snowy map scene 。Xu Jingming stood in the snow, watching the handsome young man Merritt appear in the distance. Merritt, however, had a serious expression and was under immense pressure. 。A person's name, a tree's shadow, Xu Jingming's name... it carries too much weight!p, the body reaches its limits." 。"Xu Jingming sighed, “Even in reality, if you fully master the Evolution Method, your body still needs to gradually grow and become stronger.” 。"After finishing the...
