Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 172

Translator: CKtalon

Ysarova was looking forward to the Winged Tri-arrow killing Xu Jingming, but her hands didn’t stop. She quickly took out an armor-piercing arrow and instantly drew the bow to a full draw.

When Xu Jingming swept away the three arrows with his spear and attacked, Ysarova’s eyes turned colder as she shot out the last armor-piercing arrow!

A Lv. 5 sharpshooter’s sneak attacks were very terrifying, and so were their arrows at close range.

“Die!” Ysarova believed that her opponent would definitely not be able to dodge from a distance of less than ten meters!

This arrow has an 80% chance of killing Xu Jingming! There’s only a very small chance that it will be blocked by his spear! This thought surfaced in Ysarova’s mind.

Huh? Just as Xu Jingming swept away the three arrows, he encountered an even more terrifying armor-piercing arrow! It didn’t seem to be more than ten meters away, but there was no doubt that the armor-piercing arrow’s speed far exceeded the speed of Xu Jingming’s spear!

The arrow would definitely strike first!

Boom!

Xu Jingming’s eyes turned red, and he didn’t have the time to think. The spear in his hand suddenly spun and shot out—the spear left his hand and shot at Ysarova!

Fire Style—one of the five ultimate moves recorded in the first volume of Beam Transformation.

Fire Style was the most ferocious and violent move among the five moves.

The core of Beam Transformation was dishing out combos. With extremely fast and continuous spear strikes, it made the enemy fail to block the subsequent moves after successfully parrying one. Even if one could block consecutively… Beam Transformation could constantly borrow the enemy’s strength to culminate in a terrifying might at the end!

As for Fire Style, it only had one move! It ignored any subsequent developments and was unleashed with full might.

It was a little like Xu Jingming’s famous ultimate move from before—Shadowless Thrust. Shadowless Thrust ignored consequences and only strived to deliver the fastest strike. If he couldn’t kill the enemy, he would be finished!

Fire Style was created by Xuan! It was one of the five ultimate moves in the Beam Transformation legacy for planetary lifeforms; it was much more profound than Shadowless Thrust. Even Xu Jingming, who was at Lv. 5, was still quite far from attaining greater mastery.

This strike caused his body to explode like a cannonball! He wanted to unleash his full strength regardless of the cost!

The spear spun and erupted!

There were also many ways to use it, and there was even the Fire Toss Style! The spear turned into a stream of light that flew out of Xu Jingming’s hand! According to Ysarova’s posture when she shot, Xu Jingming had a rough estimate of her location.

The spear shot out like a stream of flames, naturally colliding with the arrow.

Boom!

The spear and arrow collided. Even the armor-piercing arrow contained far less kinetic energy than the spear delivering Fire Style’s might! After all, even for a Lv. 5 sharpshooter, armor-piercing arrows only weighed three kilograms! As for Xu Jingming, his spear weighed 1.2 tons after he became a Perfected planetary lifeform.

Such a heavy spear shot out at high speeds—it was indeed a terrifying missile.

The arrow shattered from the impact, but it also affected the spear. Its course changed slightly, but the distance was just too close! The spear still swept past Ysarova’s body.

Even though a portion of the spear’s shaft missed her, the portion of Ysarova’s body that was hit turned ethereal.

A spear toss? Ysarova’s entire body turned ethereal, like an angel dissipating. Her eyes were still filled with disbelief. How can a spear toss be delivered that fast?

He was originally holding a spear and sweeping away the Winged Tri-arrow, but he instantly switched to a spear toss? It could even possess such might?

There were too many things in her mind that she found unbelievable, but her body was dissipating.

Whoosh!

When Xu Jingming shot out the spear in his hand, he instantly removed the shield on his back with both hands. He only put it away after seeing Ysarova die.

Swoosh!

His figure flashed again, and he arrived dozens of meters away to find the spear that had crashed into a building. He then picked up the spear.

Even if you’re good at close combat and can block my Fire Style’s Spear Toss, I can still smash you to death with my shield, Xu Jingming thought.

If he couldn’t kill a Lv. 5 sharpshooter with his Water Style and Fire Style, it was best for him to use his shield! It wasn’t embarrassing to use his shield to counter the arrows, but clearly… Ysarova couldn’t withstand such a ferocious spear technique.

Whoosh.

The entire modern city scene began to collapse, and Xu Jingming’s body turned ethereal as he returned.

…

In the official livestream, everyone around the world held their breaths as they watched the battle. They only heaved a sigh of relief when the spear and shaft swept past Ysarova’s body, causing it to collapse and turn ethereal.

“What happened?”

“Ysa shot consecutive arrows while escaping! Xu Jingming took the arrows head-on and eventually threw out his spear to kill Ysa?”

“I didn’t catch it! Ysa shot too quickly, and Xu Jingming’s spear was too fast. My eyes failed me.”

The combat of Lv. 5 experts was indeed too fast.

Ysarova shot out the Winged Tri-arrow and finally an armor-piercing arrow—it happened in the shortest moment of the battle! Most of the viewers around the world felt that Ysarova’s hand was like a phantom as she strafed arrows! As for how many arrows she shot out and how they were parried? They didn’t see it clearly!

They only knew that Xu Jingming had won!

He charged forward against the arrow and won!

“I believe most of the audience didn’t see the battle clearly. Please watch this slow-motion replay,” the female host said with a dazzling smile.

In the slow-motion replay, the scene of Ysarova fleeing and Xu Jingming chasing her played.

“Ysarova was already at a disadvantage in this battle because she failed to ambush him. She was forced to the top of the television tower to prevent an ambush from Xu Jingming at close range,” Alan Emelianenko introduced. “Xu Jingming straight up destroyed the television tower, and it was difficult for Ysarova to dodge in midair. Xu Jingming planned on killing Ysa with rocks, but her sword technique was extraordinary, allowing her to land successfully.”

“After landing, Ysa was very fast, exceeding 400 meters per second. If she had the advantage in speed, she could’ve kited and strafed Xu Jingming. But the truth is that Xu Jingming was faster than her; she couldn’t escape!”

“Therefore, she simultaneously shot three arrows when Xu Jingming was 30 meters away from her,” Alan explained.

The slow-motion replay clearly displayed three arrows.

The three arrows drew three curves that followed unpredictable trajectories.

“What a terrifying tri-shot. At a distance of 30 meters, the speed of the arrows exceeds 4,500 meters per second,” Miyagawa Meishin said seriously. “If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to block it.”

“Xu Jingming spun his spear and swept away all three arrows at the same time,” Riven Gullit exclaimed in surprise.

In the slow-motion replay, Ysarova released the last armor-piercing arrow while Xu Jingming parried the three arrows.

“Look at this spear toss!” Alan exclaimed in surprise. “After blocking the three arrows, he followed up with a spear toss! Based on the stats, Xu Jingming’s spear weighs 1.2 tonnes. After leaving his hand, it reached a maximum speed of 902 meters per second! The kinetic energy contained in this spear is terrifying!”

In the slow-motion replay, the spear and armor-piercing arrow collided, shattering the arrow’s shaft completely. The arrowhead also deformed and flew to the side. The spear deviated slightly, but its speed remained terrifying. At least a meter-long shaft swept past Ysarova’s body, and such a strike naturally pulverized her.

“When practicing weapons, throwing them is one of the simplest styles.” Alan was extremely surprised. “But it’s unimaginable that a spear toss can possess such strength in an instant. How many people can block this strike at close range?”

…

That’s right. How many people can block this strike at close range? Liu Hai watched. Even if I held a shield, I would’ve been sent flying by the impact, right?

Tejano also pursed his lips and watched in silence.

Of Xu Jingming’s five ultimate moves, the most ferocious one unleashed did shock Liu Hai, Tejano, Tiger Fussen, and the others.

…

“Look.” Miyagawa Meishin pointed and said, “After Xu Jingming tossed his spear, he immediately took out the dual shields on his back as he charged. Clearly… Ysarova would have to face Xu Jingming’s shield bash even if she could withstand this strike!”

The audience was also surprised and shocked.

“One strike after another. There’s no time to catch a breather.”

“Once Xu Jingming attacks, he’s fierce. He charges forward in the face of the arrows! He kills his opponent in two or three moves.”

“He attacks even after throwing his spear! After throwing the spear, the shields are up next!”

“Too strong.”

The audience could sense the pressure from Xu Jingming’s pursuit through the slow-motion replay!

Meanwhile, many members of Earth’s Life Evolution Department had mixed emotions. On the one hand, they appreciated Xu Jingming! It was naturally a good thing for Earth to have such a talented genius, but…

“The two catfish we arranged were meant to hone these experts, but they failed to enter the top four. One was defeated by Liu Hai, and the other was defeated by Xu Jingming..” The members had mixed feelings.
