Chapter 893: The Gap Was Already Sealed! Victory!

Even if Greene cannot accept it, he cannot change the fact that Xu Jingming possesses a Perfect-level spear technique.

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

In his hand, the long spear whirled, its tip flickering with faint black lightning.

Every thrust and sweep unleashed brilliant flashes of lightning.

Leaving Greene struggling to defend, forced to retreat continuously.

Wherever the two clashed, it was as if a Category 10 typhoon had swept through.

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

"Our boss is being dominated in close combat? What kind of monster is this Xu Jingming?"

In the VIP lounge, Meng Ke's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched this scene.

In contrast, his sister Meng Yu seemed to have figured something out; after a moment of thought, she spoke:

"Xu Jingming's spear technique is incredibly refined—I suspect it has reached Perfect level."

"No need to suspect—it's definitely Perfect level."

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

"Really? Perfect level?"

Meng Ke opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found no words.

In the end, he could only sigh with a complex expression:

"This guy—even in our era—would've been among the most terrifying ones..."

Mastering any weapon technique to Perfect level is no simple feat.

Among the eight-rank Radiant-level prodigies of our Firebrand Temple, only three achieved Perfect level.

One of them was nearly forty, having reached it purely through years of grinding.

Someone like Xu Jingming, under twenty-one and already at Perfect level—words fail to describe it...

Unlike Meng Ke and his sister, the spectators in the stadium couldn't gauge the mastery of the spear technique.

But they knew: Xu Jingming held the upper hand!

"An eighth-rank low-tier fighting expert taking on an eighth-rank mid-tier! Isn't your Firebrand Temple always so arrogant? What do you have to say now?"

"Exactly! Where's Meng Ke, who was shouting yesterday? Come out and speak!"

Countless roaring voices erupted; Xu Jingming's strength hardened their attitudes.

The earlier suppression and anger they felt watching Greene fight the ninth-rank adepts vanished completely.

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

Spear techniques vary in style—some grand and sweeping, others devious and unpredictable; even at Perfect level, these styles remain distinct.

But Xu Jingming's Perfect-level spear technique had only one style: speed!

Faster than lightning! Pushed to the absolute limit!

Since completing his stat allocation, he'd been stuck in the Wild Zone, lacking real combat experience against human adepts.

Only now, in close combat with Greene, did he fully master this Perfect-level technique—each strike became more natural.

"I advanced too quickly, lacking sparring partners at my level."

"This Greene is a prodigy from the Second Civilization Era—he's perfect for me to train with."

Surrounded by swirling black lightning, Xu Jingming's mind remained calm, yet his attacks rained down like a storm.

Meanwhile, Greene's expression grew darker by the second.

As an eighth-rank low-tier Grandmaster, Xu Jingming struck over fifty to sixty times per second!

He had to dodge or block with his alloy staff—completely trapped in Xu Jingming's offensive rhythm.

But this couldn't last forever; mistakes were inevitable.

One slip, and Xu Jingming would unleash an even more brutal assault!

"If I can't win in close combat, I'll crush him from afar!"

CLANG!!

After another weapon clash, Greene used the recoil to leap hundreds of meters back, landing firmly at a distance.

"Huh? Why stop fighting?"

Xu Jingming stood with spear in hand, his expression unsatisfied.

Compared to hunting beasts, he preferred fighting human adepts.

Especially high-quality opponents like Greene, bearing the title of prodigy.

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

"But you must understand—in Elementalists and Warriors, the Warrior path is my weakness."

Greene's deep voice rang out.

"Is that so?" Xu Jingming smiled. "I feel the same."

Though his mental energy was thousands of points lower than his blood qi,

his Brilliant Lightning Ring, Lightning Domain, and even the SSS-rank technique God of Thunder's Descent all boosted his Elementalism.

"Empty bravado," Greene sneered.

If he could master a spear technique to Perfect level, he clearly focused on the Warrior path—how could his Elementalism be stronger?

Thinking this, he no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his right hand, his alloy staff vanished, replaced by a black stone.

The stone's surface was uneven, pitted with countless tiny craters.

Roughly the size of a basketball, yet dwarfed by Greene's towering four-meter frame.

He could easily hold it in one hand.

"This is 'Meteorite Stone'—a top-tier elemental weapon. With it, I become my true form."

ZZZZ~

Violent earth-elemental energy surged into it.

The entire stone glowed with a golden-yellow aura, rising and hovering above Greene's head!

Simultaneously, a yellow-earth domain, two hundred meters in diameter, erupted outward from him!

Within the domain, earth elements grew heavier, brighter, radiating a terrifying aura.

"What's going on?! Can Greene get even stronger?!"

"Is that… a Domain? No way—that's exclusive to ninth-rank Law Saints!"

"It's definitely a Domain, but the aura suggests only the first tier."

"..."

For most spectators, they had no idea what Greene had just activated.

But on the commentary podium stood ninth-rank peak analyst Jones.

When he declared it a Domain—and explained that even for ninth-rank adepts, possessing one was rare—the entire audience erupted in shock!

"With a Domain and an elemental weapon, unless something unexpected happens, Xu Jingming will lose."

Jones quickly made his judgment.

A Domain—even just the first tier—

was an insurmountable advantage for an eighth-rank Grandmaster.

"Pity. No one expected Greene to hide such a trump card."

Jones shook his head; the audience, once thrilled by Xu Jingming's dominance, now fell silent.

Yet at that moment, an immensely powerful aura erupted from the arena!

A black lightning domain, three hundred meters in diameter, exploded outward from Xu Jingming!

Brilliant black lightning flickered; the Brilliant Lightning Ring hovered silently behind him like a divine halo.

Compared to before, Xu Jingming's power had surged more than several-fold!

"Domain? You have a Domain too?!"

Greene's shocked voice rang across the arena.

"I already said—Warrior path isn't my strength."

Xu Jingming's cold, black dragon eyes locked onto him, expression icy; the Brilliant Lightning Ring behind him began spinning wildly.

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

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

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

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

The moment it appeared, the entire stadium was engulfed in overwhelming pressure.

As if no one could withstand this single blade!

"Use me as a training dummy? Xu Jingming, you're too arrogant!"

"So what if you have a Domain? I'll still beat you! Meteorite Fall!!"

Greene's face twisted; he unleashed all his earth-elemental energy, summoning endless earth elements into the sky!

Above the city, a shower of meteors streaked down toward Xu Jingming!

At that moment, the massive black lightning greatsword moved.

SHHHH—

The giant sword was immensely massive, its length exceeding two hundred meters!

Yet it moved with lightning speed, crashing down with a thunderous boom directly onto the area where Green stood!

Crackling—

A shrill whine of electric arcs rose as a black thunderous mushroom cloud, over two hundred meters in diameter, slowly rose from that region!

At that moment, Green's meteor shower arrived!

"Thunder Dragon Technique!"

Ah——

Amidst a piercing dragon roar, a thunder dragon four to five hundred meters long materialized violently, enclosing Xu Jingming within its form.

Boom boom boom~~~

Meteorites slammed into the thunder dragon, rapidly diminishing its power; by the time the dragon dissolved, the meteor shower had also ended.

Several hundred meters away, in the area struck by the Heavenly Thunder Punishment Sword, only a charred, completely carbonized corpse remained...

"To exhaust one Thunder Dragon Technique from me, your combat technique is impressive."

"But that's as far as it goes—the gap in our strength was destined from the very beginning."

Xu Jingming shook his head, all SSS-grade Chaotic Divine Thunder absorbed back into his body.

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

"Green is dead! In this match, Da Xia's Xu Jingming is the victor!"
