Chapter 508: A genius from the Violent Bear Martial Arts Hall? I'll take on four!

Rumble, rumble~~~

The moment the prompt sounded, the entire Competition Zone 73 shook.

"The zone is starting to shrink!"

Xu Jingming looked down from the rooftop of the building; a large number of surrounding buildings disappeared, and the city roads began to be replanned.

It was just like a building game on a mobile phone; it was very easy to change the terrain, and everything appeared very sci-fi.

A full forty or fifty seconds passed before the entire space stabilized again.

Looking out, one could completely see a void in the distance; that was the end of this zone.

"An area of 100 square kilometers is roughly equivalent to a square area with a length and width of only about 10 kilometers."

Xu Jingming thought to himself.

This area is too small.

His Heart Web already had a detection range of more than two kilometers; he only needed to fly a few laps to sweep through the entire zone.

Just like now, he could already sense dozens of Awakened who had just appeared nearby.

Among these Awakened, none were lower than Rank 5!

"The competition zone area shrinkage is complete, and the Peak Match first-stage preliminary round has entered the final 24-hour countdown.

There are 100 spots to advance in each zone!

Genius contestants, start the final slaughter!

Only by passing the preliminary round can you obtain the qualification to represent the country in battle and exchange blows with powerhouses from all over the world!"

The magnificent voice rang in the ears of all contestants, making people's blood boil and their fighting intent soar.

"Fight, fight!"

Swoosh—

Brilliant thunder dragon wings unfolded behind his back, Xu Jingming's whole body lingered with golden thunder, and he shot into the sky!

"It's the Thunder Emperor! The rumor is true; he really is in our zone!"

"Rank 7 Grandmaster-level combat power! Run! We can't beat him!"

In the city below, every contestant who discovered Xu Jingming had their expression change drastically, subconsciously wanting to flee for their lives.

But they didn't expect Xu Jingming to just pass over their heads, not even looking at them at all.

This made them feel lucky to have escaped a disaster while also being somewhat puzzled.

"I heard the Thunder Emperor mastered a very formidable perception-type combat technique taught by his teacher; how could he not have discovered us?"

"Forget it, it's best to be able to survive. My points are just stuck at the 100th place; if I get killed, it's over! Run fast, hide as far as possible!"

"That's right, hurry and run!"

"..."

The Awakened fled in a swarm toward more remote areas.

However, what they didn't know was that Xu Jingming hadn't failed to discover them, but didn't want to kill them yet.

His focus now was to find the four people ranked higher than him, and then kill them to obtain first place!

As for the remaining people, anyway, there should still be time, and the zone area is so small.

Just spend some time on a carpet-style search, and then kill them one by one.

Competition Zone 73 can only have one person survive until the end, and that is Xu Jingming himself!

With an area of 100 square kilometers, even if Xu Jingming didn't use his full speed to maintain his ability,

just using a speed of 200m/s, it only took less than two minutes to find the few people ranked ahead of him.

Xu Jingming's wings lingered with thunder light, hovering in mid-air, facing a building that was a full thirty-plus stories high.

Under the sensing of the Heart Web, four people were hiding in this building.

These four people were gathered in the same room, and all were Rank 6 lower-tier!

"No wonder I couldn't find anyone; they were all turtling here."

Xu Jingming folded his wings and smashed heavily onto the street in front of the building.

He looked at the building in front of him and shouted coldly: "Come out! I've discovered you!"

The voice exploded like spring thunder, spreading far away and echoing in the street.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Four figures rushed out of the building one after another and landed at a position about thirty meters away from Xu Jingming.

"Xu Jingming, I am Li Ming of the Violent Bear Martial Arts Hall.

You already have the qualification to advance; we don't want to provoke you, and you don't have to come find us to fight, right?"

The youth in the white battle suit, who was tall and sturdy, shouted loudly.

"Li Ming? I know you, the strongest in the Violent Bear Martial Arts Hall's genius training camp."

Xu Jingming raised his eyelids and said faintly:

"In literature, there is no first; in martial arts, there is no second.

Advancing in the preliminary round is very simple for me, but what I want is not just to advance, but first place.

You should be the first to fourth place, right? Only after defeating you will I be first."

As a neighbor of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, Xu Jingming knew exactly who the powerhouses in the Violent Bear Martial Arts Hall's genius training camp were.

This Li Ming possessed a pseudo-S-rank ability, and his rank reached Rank 6 lower-tier.

If it were when he had just entered the genius training camp, he might still have had some scruples.

But now, they were just ants that were slightly stronger.

After the words fell, the four people, including Li Ming, were shocked and angry in their hearts.

Arrogant!

Xu Jingming's words could be said to be arrogant to the extreme.

He didn't put the four Rank 6 Awakened in his eyes at all!

"Xu Jingming, you are too arrogant. I am, after all, a person from the Violent Bear Martial Arts Hall's genius training camp.

One-on-one, I am not your opponent, but four-on-one, you might not necessarily be able to beat us!"

Xu Jingming!

A 20-year-old Rank 5 upper-tier Awakened!

Possesses an SS-rank lightning-type ability and possesses Grandmaster-level combat power!

If not necessary, they didn't want to face Xu Jingming either.

But now it seemed that this battle was unavoidable, and Li Ming, the leader, decisively activated his enhancement-type ability.

"Earth Black Panther!"

"Gentle Spiritual Light!"

The remaining three also activated their abilities simultaneously, among whom a black-haired girl stared.

Xu Jingming suddenly felt his body become heavy, and even his thinking speed became sluggish.

"A mental-type Awakened?" Xu Jingming glanced at her with some surprise.

In the competition zone, the most common types of abilities are enhancement-type and elemental-type.

Mental-type Awakened are not many, let alone Rank 6 mental-type Awakened.

And because it was in the virtual world, he didn't have the Soul Seal that Councilor Liu had applied to him last time.

Therefore, he would be subject to some negative effects brought about by mental-type Awakened.

"Two enhancement-types, one support-type, plus one mental-type; your lineup combination is quite good.

But unfortunately, even if it's four-on-one, you have no chance of winning at all! Thunder Extreme Mode!"

Xu Jingming's eyes suddenly turned into brilliant golden pupils, and his aura surged several times over!

The mental power in his consciousness sea boiled, like a sea of thunder.

The negative state applied by the mental-type Awakened on the other side disappeared.

And he used his own mental power to fiercely counterattack the black-haired girl!

Boom!!

Before Li Ming and the others could react, the black-haired girl's little head exploded like a watermelon!

Red and white things splashed all over the ground, and blood sprayed out like a fountain from her neck.

Immediately after, the headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"This..."

Li Ming's pupils shrank, staring blankly at this scene.

The entire scene fell into silence.

He didn't understand at all how Xu Jingming made a move, nor how he blew up his companion's head... ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
