Chapter 581

"He used his supplies after me?" Catherine's expression froze.

In the Defense and Offense Tournament, supplies were extremely important.

The further it went, the more supplies one had left, the better state one could maintain.

But her level was higher than Xu Jingming's, and her psychic power reserves were also higher than Xu Jingming's.

How could it be that Xu Jingming used his supplies after her?

"Great Xia's Xu Jingming is very good at finding the weaknesses of beasts.

Every time he kills a beast, the stamina and psychic power consumed are kept at the lowest level.

And although you, Saint, can also kill beasts, the stamina and psychic power consumed in each wave of the beast tide are greater than Xu Jingming's.

With this cycle continuing, Xu Jingming is naturally more persistent than you."

At this moment, a Rank 7 peak-level white psychic wearing a pale golden robe said with a hint of admiration.

Hearing this, Catherine actually understood completely.

This was actually a matter of combat experience.

Xu Jingming had rich practical combat experience, which allowed him to kill beasts in a more energy-efficient way.

Then the question arose: her practical combat experience wasn't bad either.

Besides training in the ice plains, she had also entered the wilderness area many times to hunt beasts.

Why was Xu Jingming more proficient than her?

"According to news reports on the Great Xia internet, Xu Jingming has been at the Magic City Psychic University since last June.

And after joining the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, up until today,

He spent most of his time in the wilderness area; the total duration added up is probably longer than a year.

Additionally, before the Peak Tournament's Top 32 began, Xu Jingming also went to Great Xia's front-line battlefield.

He killed a large number of beasts on the battlefield, including several Rank 7 beasts, and earned astonishing military merit."

A member of the Holy See said in a low voice.

With the conclusion of the Peak Tournament, Xu Jingming's record on the southern battlefield was no longer kept hidden.

Relevant reports had been circulating on the Great Xia internet during this period, and one could find out just by checking.

"This......"

Her rosy lips parted slightly, and Catherine's pretty face was full of disbelief.

From last June until now, it had only been a year and a half.

Xu Jingming had actually spent more than a year in the wilderness area!

No wonder he was so proficient at killing beasts!

"This guy is truly a monster......"

Catherine looked somewhat distractedly at the tall figure in the holographic projection, who was filled with golden thunder like a god.

Having trained in the northern polar regions for a long time, she thought she had worked hard enough.

But compared to Xu Jingming, she felt that her previous training seemed like a joke......

"Thunder Dragon Technique!"

Rumble, rumble!!

Arena No. 01, under the bombardment of the final Thunder Dragon Technique.

The remaining beasts outside the city wall were finally all cleared out by Xu Jingming, including those King-class beasts.

"Phew, finally made it through this wave."

Xu Jingming flapped his Thunder Dragon wings and landed on the city wall, panting heavily.

After experiencing more than four consecutive days of major battles, all his supplies had been exhausted.

Even the Extreme Radiance Thunder Ring couldn't squeeze out a single bit of stored psychic power.

The only thing worth being happy about was,

He faced thousands of Rank 6 beasts and 15 Rank 7 King-class beasts alone, and he still achieved the final victory.

"It's a pity that the virtual world is ultimately not reality.

Otherwise, the psychic points harvested from killing beasts over these five days would definitely be an astonishing number."

Xu Jingming shook his head with some regret.

In this virtual world, he couldn't even open his system panel, let alone harvest psychic points.

"Contestant No. 01 Xu Jingming, you are the only contestant remaining in the Defense and Offense Tournament.

The next wave of the beast tide will arrive in one hour. Do you choose to continue the competition or withdraw?"

At this moment, a grand prompt sound came from the sky.

"It's already down to just me?"

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised, but upon careful thought,

It made sense.

Even he was reaching his limit; others were naturally worse off.

Since he was already the champion, Xu Jingming naturally didn't need to stay here any longer.

After replying that he would withdraw, he was teleported back to the very center of the stadium arena.

"Thunder Emperor! The strongest!"

"Thunder Emperor! The strongest!"

"......"

As soon as he teleported back, overwhelming cheers rang out in Xu Jingming's ears!

Among them were not only Great Xia people but also tens of millions of viewers from other countries.

Clearly,

Xu Jingming's powerful performance in the Peak Tournament and the Defense and Offense Tournament had already conquered them!

"Congratulations to Xu Jingming! He persisted until the very last moment in the Defense and Offense Tournament!"

The commentator's high-pitched, resonant voice rang out in the stadium.

"Also, thank you to the other contestants: Catherine, Su Yu, and Andrei!

You have presented our hundreds of millions of viewers on-site with one brilliant battle after another!

This is absolutely the most exciting Global Genius Exchange Tournament to date!

Next, let us invite the top three contestants of the Peak Tournament to the stage to receive their awards!!"

Rumble, rumble—

On the alloy ground in front of Xu Jingming, a magnificent convex podium slowly rose.

On each step, there was a trophy.

The trophy representing the champion was placed at the very top; it was pitch black all over, shimmering with a mysterious and luxurious luster.

The trophies representing second and third place were white and yellow, respectively.

These three trophies were all crafted from SSS-rank alloy.

But it was clearly visible that the championship trophy was more refined and gorgeous.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Catherine and Su Yu were also teleported to the arena.

"Peak Tournament first place, Xu Jingming!

Will receive a one-time Rank 9 Protection Talisman, a set of SS-rank battle armor, and an SS+ rank cultivation resource!

Peak Tournament second place, Catherine!

Receives a set of SS-rank battle armor and an SS-rank cultivation resource!

Peak Tournament third place, Su Yu!

Receives a set of SS-rank battle armor and an S+ rank cultivation resource!

Additionally, the top 100 of the Peak Tournament, including the three of you, will all receive the qualification to enter the Qingfeng Secret Realm!"

Amidst the commentator's high-pitched voice, Xu Jingming, Catherine, and Su Yu.

Stepped onto the podium and each held up their own trophy.

BOOM!!

The hundreds of millions of viewers in the entire stadium cheered; some were shouting "Thunder Emperor" and "Saint," while others were cheering for "Su Yu."

This Genius Tournament was definitely much more exciting than in previous years.

The geniuses that emerged from it were countless, such as Xu Jingming, Catherine, Su Yu, and others.

But if one were to ask who was the most dazzling, it was undoubtedly Xu Jingming, who was only 20 years old yet had swept through many powerful enemies along the way.

Before the Genius Tournament began, many people thought Xu Jingming would stop at the Top 16 or Top 8.

But unexpectedly, Xu Jingming had actually defeated Catherine, who was 5 years older than him and a minor rank higher.

"Truly dazzling......"

Classmates from Jiangcheng No. 2 High School, classmates from Magic City University, and trainees from the Genius Training Camp.

Many people who knew Xu Jingming looked with emotion at the tall figure standing at the highest point of the podium.

They knew that Xu Jingming would eventually rise and become world-famous!

But they didn't expect this day to come so quickly......
