Chapter 893: The Gap Was Fated Long Ago! Victory!

Even if Green couldn't accept it, the fact that Xu Jingming possessed a perfected-level spear technique remained unchanged.

On the arena, Xu Jingming's gaze was icy cold.

The long spear in his hand danced, and at its tip wisps of black Lei Guang flickered.

Every thrust and sweep erupted with dazzling thunder-light.

Green found it hard to parry and was forced to retreat again and again.

Wherever the two of them passed, it was as if a Category-10-plus typhoon had swept through.

Buildings collapsed, the ground cracked, and not a single structure remained intact.

"The boss is actually being suppressed in close combat? What kind of monster is this Xu Jingming?"

In the VIP hall, Meng Ke's eyes went wide as she stared at the scene in disbelief.

Unlike her, her younger sister Meng Yu seemed to have noticed something; after a moment's thought, she spoke:

"Xu Jingming's spear technique is exquisite. I suspect it's already reached perfected level."

"No need to suspect — it is perfected level."

Master Boke's voice rang out, confirming Meng Yu's guess.

"It's really perfected level?"

Meng Ke opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, she could only sigh with a complicated expression:

"This guy, even if you dropped him into our era, he'd probably still be among the most terrifying of them..."

It's no simple matter to train any weapon technique to perfected level.

Among the eighth-tier Radiant-level prodigies of their Spark Divine Hall, only three had reached perfection.

And one of them was already nearly forty, having gotten there purely through the accumulation of time.

Someone like Xu Jingming, not yet twenty-one, at perfected level — it was simply beyond words...

Unlike people like the Meng siblings, the spectators in the stadium couldn't gauge the spear technique's mastery.

But they knew Xu Jingming had the upper hand!

"An eighth-tier lower-rank going toe-to-toe with an eighth-tier mid-rank! Isn't your Spark Divine Hall always so arrogant? What do you say now?"

"Exactly! Where's the Meng Ke who was shouting her mouth off yesterday? Come out and say something!"

Countless roaring voices rose up; Xu Jingming's strength had made their own attitude harden.

The gloom and anger they'd felt watching Green fight those ninth-tier ability users was completely gone.

In the arena, Xu Jingming's movements grew faster and smoother.

Spear techniques have different styles — some bold and sweeping, some cunning and tricky — and even at perfected mastery these styles still persist.

But Xu Jingming's perfected spear technique had only one style: speed!

Fast as lightning! Fast to the limit!

But ever since completing his allocation, he'd stayed in the wilderness zone, lacking real combat experience against human ability users.

Only now, in close combat with Green, had he finally fully mastered this perfected spear technique, growing more fluid with every exchange.

"I've broken through too fast, lacking the tempering of opponents at the same level.

This Green is a prodigy of the Second Civilization era — perfect for me to use as practice."

Xu Jingming, wreathed in pitch-black thunder, was calm within, yet his attacks came like a raging storm.

His opponent Green's expression, meanwhile, grew uglier by the moment.

As an eighth-tier lower-rank Weida Sect master, Xu Jingming thrust his spear over fifty or sixty times per second!

Green had to dodge or take the alloy staff head-on, completely locked into Xu Jingming's offensive rhythm.

But if this kept up, mistakes were inevitable.

The moment he slipped, Xu Jingming would absolutely unleash an even fiercer attack!

"If I can't win in close combat, then I'll blast him from range!"

Clang!!

After yet another weapon clash, Green used the rebound to retreat several hundred meters and came to a stop in the distance.

"Hm? Why stop fighting?"

Xu Jingming stood with his spear in hand, his expression one of lingering eagerness.

Compared to hunting fierce beasts, he still preferred fighting human ability users.

Especially quality opponents like Green, who bore the name of prodigy.

"In close combat, I admit I can't beat you.

But you should also understand — among elementalists and warriors, the warrior path is actually my weak side."

Green's low voice rang out.

"Is that so?" Xu Jingming smiled. "Actually, I'm the same."

Although in terms of base attributes alone, his spiritual power was several thousand points lower than his qi and blood.

Yet the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan, the Thunder Domain, and even the SSS-grade combat skill Lei Shen Jiang Shi were all boosts geared toward elementalists.

"Pointless bravado." Green snorted coldly.

Being able to train spear technique to perfected level meant his main focus was the warrior path — how could his elementalist side possibly be stronger?

Thinking this, he no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his right hand, the alloy staff vanished from his hand, replaced by a black stone.

The stone's surface was uneven, covered in pits and craters.

It was roughly the size of a basketball, but compared to Green's massive four-meter-plus frame.

This stone could be easily held in one hand.

"This is 'Meteorite Stone,' a top-tier elemental weapon. With its enhancement, I am truly complete."

Hummm~~~

Violent earth-elemental energy surged into it.

The entire stone suddenly emitted a golden-yellow aura and rose into the air, hovering above Green's head!

At the same time, a golden-yellow domain with a diameter of nearly two hundred meters erupted outward from him!

Within the domain's range, earth elements grew heavier, brighter, and radiated a terrifying aura.

"What's going on?! Green can still grow stronger?!"

"Is that… a domain? No way? Isn't that exclusive to ninth-rank Law Saints?"

"It is indeed a domain, but judging by its aura, it's only the first layer."

"……"

For the vast majority of spectators present, they had no idea what technique Green had activated.

But on the commentary podium sat ninth-rank peak commentator Jones.

When he declared it a domain and explained that even for ninth-rank elementalists, possessing a domain was no easy feat, the entire audience erupted in stunned silence!

"With a domain plus an elemental weapon, unless something unexpected happens, Xu Jingming will lose next."

Jones quickly made his judgment.

A domain—even just the first layer.

For an eighth-rank Master Zongshi, it was an insurmountable advantage.

"What a pity. No one expected Green still had such a hidden card."

Jones couldn't help shaking his head; the audience, once thrilled by Xu Jingming's suppression, now fell into gloom.

Yet at that moment, an extremely powerful aura surged skyward from the arena!

A black thunder domain with a diameter of three hundred meters exploded outward from Xu Jingming.

At the same time, brilliant black lightning flared, and the Supreme Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan hung silently behind him like a god's halo.

Compared to before, Xu Jingming's aura had grown more than several times stronger!

"Domain? You have a domain too?!"

Green's shocked voice rang out across the arena.

"I already said, martial arts aren't my strength."

Xu Jingming's cold black dragon eyes fixed on him, expression icy, the Supreme Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan behind him spinning wildly.

"I was going to spar with you a bit longer, hone my close-combat skills. Since you won't cooperate, let's end this."

A voice as majestic as a god's echoed forth.

SSS-class Chaotic Divine Thunder roared across the entire arena, piercing heaven and earth.

In mere seconds, it coalesced into a colossal black thunder greatsword!

The moment this greatsword appeared, the entire stadium was filled with overwhelming pressure.

As if beneath this blade, no one could stand!

"Use me as a sparring partner? Xu Jingming, you're too arrogant!"

"So what if you have a domain? I'll still beat you! Meteor Shower Fall!!"

Green's expression twisted as he unleashed all his earth-elemental energy; endless earth elements surged upward!

Above the city, a shower of meteors streaked across the sky, hurtling toward Xu Jingming!

And at that moment, the colossal black thunder greatsword moved.

Shhh—

The greatsword was enormous, over two hundred meters long!

Yet it moved faster than lightning, crashing down with a boom directly onto Green's position!

Crackling—

A high-pitched arc shrieked as a black thunder mushroom cloud over two hundred meters in diameter rose slowly from that spot.

And at that moment, Green's meteor shower arrived!

"Thunder Dragon Technique!"

Roar—

Amidst a piercing dragon roar, a thunder dragon four to five hundred meters long coalesced, shielding Xu Jingming within.

Boom—boom—boom~~~

Each meteor struck the thunder dragon, rapidly draining its power; by the time the dragon vanished, the meteor shower had also ended.

And hundreds of meters away, in the area struck by the Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword, only a charred, blackened corpse remained...

"You managed to consume one Thunder Dragon Technique. Your combat technique's power is decent."

"But that's all. The gap between us was already sealed from the start."

Xu Jingming shook his head, all SSS-class Chaotic Divine Thunder retreating into his body.

At the same time, the commentator's voice, filled with disbelief, rang in his ears:

"Green is dead! This match is won by Xu Jingming of Great Xia!"
