Chapter 183: Tejano vs. Xu Jingming

Translator: CKtalon

In the preparation area.

Tejano shot a glance to the other side and very casually chose a staff and light armor.

He’s indeed best at staff techniques. Xu Jingming came to a realization when he saw this as he also chose the usual light armor and spear. At the same time, he saw that the map of the battle was the Ancient Battlefield.

The Ancient Battlefield didn’t have any obstructions, and the environmental factors in combat were minimized.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two turned into streams of light and flew into the map.

******

On the ancient battlefield map.

The only building here was a huge, dilapidated, and ancient city wall that spanned nearly a kilometer. Outside the city wall was a vast piece of land dyed red with blood.

At this moment, two figures descended and landed on the ground.

Tejano grinned at Xu Jingming. The number one genius among billions from an emerging cosmic civilization? This number one genius has no idea what he will be encountering today.

Tejano never believed that he would lose! The teachings he received since he was a child were things beyond the imagination of Earth’s civilization. Moreover, he had been personally taught by a cosmic legend.

The means he possessed far exceeded Xu Jingming’s imagination.

However, I can’t be careless. After all, he’s extremely talented, and my talent is very poor, Tejano thought to himself. I hope this number one genius of an emerging cosmic civilization can give me some inspiration and allow me to improve my evolution.

Tejano observed Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming also observed his opponent. Tejano has always been very mysterious. He rarely participates in public matches and wins easily every time. He also defeated my master very easily. I have to keep my guard up and not give him a chance.

The duo’s fighting spirit intensified, and the moment their fighting spirit faintly resonated—

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tejano and Xu Jingming moved at the same time. Their figures tore through the air, and a visible shockwave blasted out.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in close proximity, and the staff and spear had already attacked the other party.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The weapons quickly collided.

The two moved at high speeds as their weapons constantly clashed.

Double Images! The moment Tejano clashed, his figure turned much more ghostly. The staff’s speed increased, and he used the move that defeated Liu Hai—Double Images.

Double Images was one of Tejano’s ultimate moves.

What a fast staff technique! Xu Jingming was secretly dumbfounded as he fought. He had just blocked the strike when the staff immediately spun around, and the other end of the staff stabbed over! It was so fast that it was fortunate that he had fused the essence of Water Style into his spearmanship. His spearmanship increased in speed with every combo, allowing him to block the strike.

The sound of all kinds of weapons colliding made the global audience hold their breaths.

“He went all out the moment they started?”

“That strike was way too fast.”

“The two of them are that much stronger than us?”

Liu Hai, Tiger Fussen, and the other Lv. 5 experts felt stifled.

Xu Jingming and Tejano had just clashed, but the strength they unleashed could instantly kill Liu Hai and Tiger Fussen!

“The speed at which these two experts fight is unimaginable.” The female host watched the slow-motion replay. Even with the footage played ten times slower, Tejano’s staff technique remained in the form of afterimages. Slash, lash, poke, tap, sweep… The staff was ethereal as it dealt an onslaught of attacks.

As for Xu Jingming, he was good at Beam Transformation to begin with! His spearmanship pursued speed! Now that he had fused the essence of water into his spearmanship, he struck out repeatedly! In the slow-motion replay, the spear also turned into afterimages.

“This is ridiculous.”

“I can’t even see it clearly when it’s played ten times slower?”

“Are the two of them even human?”

Countless audience members were stunned. In the past, they could still clearly see the fights when they were played ten times slower, but this time, they couldn’t figure out much! Of course, they could see the two figures moving clearly, but they couldn’t see their weapons.

“This is the competition between world number one and number two.”

“The two of them are much stronger than Liu Hai and Tiger Fussen.”

Having just watched the third-place playoff, watching the finals made them feel that both battles were on completely different levels. Be it movement speed or weapon speed, there were qualitative differences!

“Interesting!” Tejano’s lips curled up slightly, and his arm suddenly grew by half a meter when he stabbed out, causing the range of his strike to clearly increase.

Xu Jingming was already prepared; he twirled his spear and executed Water Style. Like a mighty wave, his spear swept over the staff and blocked this move. Halu Singh is good at lengthening his arms and legs. During the competition, Tejano’s main torso extended and caved in greatly, avoiding my master’s strike. According to Halu Singh, Tejano is clearly better at extending his body. How can I not defend against this move?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tejano’s attacks weren’t only fast, but his arms also lengthened from time to time, making his attacks even more unpredictable. Instantly, the pressure on Xu Jingming to defend increased, and he was forced to use Water Style frequently.

Water Style was adept at the offensive and defensive, and it could be switched to offense at any time while defending.

Planet Devastation! Tejano became even more excited. His entire body was like a whip, and all the strength in his body gathered along his arms to the staff before he suddenly struck out.

This strike was as fast as lightning; its might was clearly much stronger than before! It was one of Tejano’s ultimate moves—Planet Devastation.

Xu Jingming still swept his spear over and carefully blocked this move, but the moment the spear touched the staff—

Not good. Xu Jingming felt a terrifying penetrative force that made it difficult for him to deflect the force. For a moment, he could only try his best to block with his spear.

Boom!

Xu Jingming was sent flying when the weapons collided.

Tejano tapped his foot and caught up with his opponent at an even faster speed. He swung his staff ferociously again, and it was still the same ultimate move—Planet Devastation.

As Xu Jingming was sent flying, he immediately used his spear to block again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tejano didn’t stop his barrage of attacks, striking 12 times in a row in a bid to send the spear in Xu Jingming’s hand flying!

However, Xu Jingming kept on flying backward and parried all 12 times! He continued holding the spear tightly in his hand.

Bang!

After being struck 12 times, Xu Jingming’s entire body was sent flying and crashed into the ancient city wall.

The impact speed was tremendous, and under the intense impact, a section of the city wall where he crashed into exploded. Countless huge rocks tumbled down, completely blanketing the area and Xu Jingming’s body.

“Huh?”

“Xu Jingming!”

“Xu Jingming is buried by the city walls!”

Countless people were stunned.

Tejano struck out 12 times in just two seconds!

In less than two seconds, Xu Jingming was constantly flying backward. Even though he tapped the ground several times, he never managed to get his footing. He was completely blasted into the city wall, causing it to collapse.

“Jingming.” Li Miaomiao looked at the collapsed city wall worriedly.

Xu Jingming couldn’t be seen under the cover of countless bits of gravel.

Xu Hong, his wife, Grandpa Xu, and the members of Team Pearwood were extremely nervous.

Everyone in China and Xu Jingming’s countless fans around the world were nervous.

He couldn’t have lost just like that, right?

…

Under the rubble of the collapsed city wall, Xu Jingming had already crashed into the edge of the entire map. The transparent wall blocked Xu Jingming’s retreat, and countless bits of gravel pressed down on him.

What a fierce Tejano. Xu Jingming tasted blood, but he swallowed the surging mouthful of blood. The impact from the collision was still quite great, and he was injured despite his formidable body.

Xu Jingming looked at the translucent wall behind him and held the spear in his hand. He wasn’t in a hurry to charge out. With his cellular-level control, his body recovered very quickly, and he could seize this opportunity to recover.

At the same time, Xu Jingming closed his eyes under the ruins.. His heart was like a planet—silent and eternal—allowing his senses to magnify and sense the auras in the outside world.
