In the real world, at noon.

On the outskirts of Jinmen City, inside a large factory building, the factory was empty except for a few tables and equipment in the corner and two maintenance robots.

In the vast factory, there was only one short, fat man barefoot, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right.

"Huff." He took a step, his figure blurring as he dashed out more than ten meters, followed by a slash of the knife, tearing through the air with a loud bang.

Another step, he dashed out another ten meters, smashing the shield, causing a roar in the air.

Step by step, he practiced silently, his feet shaking the factory floor, each strike of the shield and slash of the knife causing a tremendous roar in the huge factory.

These seemingly simple movements, if seen by a master, would make them gasp.

The momentum generated by the progress was completely transformed into the force of the "slashing knife" or the force of the shield, making each strike terrifyingly powerful. The most terrifying thing is that for the short, fat man, these moves have become as natural as eating and drinking, without the need for much thought, completely becoming an instinct.

"Click -" The factory door opened, and a slightly plump woman walked in carrying a large lunch box. After entering, the factory door closed automatically.

"Senior brother." The slightly plump woman called with a smile.

Lily Steel stopped, turned to see the woman and smiled, put down the shield and knife, and walked over: "Wife, what are we eating today?"

"Of course, it's what you like." The slightly plump woman walked to the dining table in the corner, took out layers of small lunch boxes, and placed them on the table, a soup, and a large portion of rice.

"It smells great, I'm really hungry." Lily Steel simply washed his hands at the sink and sat down to eat quickly.

"You say, now that there is a virtual world, you practice for 16 hours a day, and you continue to practice in reality?" The wife said, "You don't care about the children at home, and you don't care about the business."

"Isn't there you?" Lily Steel smiled, "You let me join the Golden Eagle team, and I joined! And our family has long been out of money, the business will go as it is. As for the children? Wife, you have worked hard."

"I knew what kind of person you were when I married you, and I was prepared." The wife said helplessly, "But, you are not young anymore, you are almost forty years old, and you will work hard for a lifetime?"

"Wife, you think it's hard, I think it's fun." Lily Steel said, "The feeling of pursuing the world's first, pursuing to become the world's strongest, is very interesting! When a strong opponent appears, try every means to defeat him! Every time you surpass an opponent, it's wonderful."

The wife nodded: "Are you confident in the second round of the competition?"

"No."

Lily Steel said, "My younger martial brother Jamie Smith is a real genius! If it weren't for being too evil, entering the World Martial Arts Competition too early. If you accumulate for two more years, you can get the world's first in your early twenties. As for me? Among the many disciples of my master, my talent can only be considered average, I have realized this point."

"But you have won the world's first three times, and you are the one with the most world's first in Xiaguo." The wife said.

"Because I practice the most crazily." Lily Steel said, "Practice in the morning and evening, practice at night. Almost all the time is spent practicing except for sleep. When the body is tired, I simply practice the moves. When the body is repaired enough, I practice the body."

"Practice until you are thinking about martial arts while eating. Practice until you dream of martial arts in your sleep."

"Naturally, I have become one with the martial arts skills." Lily Steel said.

The wife looked at her husband and felt the invisible pressure from her husband.

"Master is extremely talented, and even in his old age, he won the world's first. Ray Cloud is also very evil, and he was the world's first in footwork when he made his debut! As for me? I have stumbled and lost to many opponents." Lily Steel said, "But I have surpassed one opponent after another, and finally won the world's first time and time again."

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"I believe that I may fall behind for a while."

"But... the world's first in the end must be me!" Lily Steel said, "Because they are all practicing martial arts. And me? I am a part of martial arts!"

The iron railing cloud's eyes are hot.

The wife smiled and watched this scene. That night, on the playground of the national team, she saw this man practicing alone with bare feet, and she was attracted.

"I believe you, you will be the world's first." The wife said.

"Being the world's first is not the most charming." Lily Steel said, "The most charming thing is the process of becoming the world's first! Defeating a strong opponent one by one!"

After finishing lunch, Lily Steel continued to pick up the shield and knife and practiced alone in the factory.

You must have a strong heart to always bear this loneliness.

...

That night, the second round of the Fire Seed Cup National Competition officially began.

"The competition has started." The six people of the Pear Wood team gathered together and sat in the stands, watching the exciting competition.

The first game, Ray Willow's old team vs Frost Language team!

"Dad and they are not as easy as the first round." Jamie Smith observed and said.

"Frost Language team, there are many masters such as Cameron Scott, Frost Shirley." May Lee said, "Four... Uncle and they are still a bit not enough."

In this game, the four older generations of the Ray Willow old team cooperated tacitly, and the moves were skillful, but with the archer 'Samuel Bell' being forcibly rushed to the front and killed by the Frost Language team, they completely fell into a disadvantage.

They have been fighting until only Hugh Smith with a double shield is left, and Master Ray Willow finally makes a move.

The remaining two people of the Frost Language team also cooperated to attack Master Ray Willow.

"Wow."

A knife.

The knife light flashed, and at the same time, it crossed the two people of the Frost Language team, breaking their heavy armor and light armor, and killing them all.

Ray Willow's old team won!

"This is the world's first!" The host Shine Lewis couldn't help but say, "Even the heavy armor is split in one knife, and it's a knife to kill two people."

"The strength of the world's first is really terrible." The male guest Victor Daniels, "Other masters can't block a move in front of him."

Female guest Sarah Johnson smiled and said: "Up to now, there are only six people in the world who have passed the third level of the Star Tower. Master Ray Willow has passed it a month ago! It was just after the Star Tower was opened! His strength has a huge advantage over other people on the list, let alone ordinary masters."

"The next game, the Ray Cloud teacher who will appear, is the world's first in footwork." The host Shine Lewis said, "He and Master Ray Willow have not made a public match in the virtual world."

...

The second game, Ray Cloud team vs Sparrow team.

"The four teammates Ray Cloud senior selected are a bit weak." Finn Brown looked and sighed, "The four civilian players Ray Willow master selected are all very powerful. Ray Cloud selected four civilian players, they are much more mediocre."

"Ray Cloud senior alone is enough to win." Emily Johnson said.

Jamie Smith also watched.

Ray Cloud's four teammates barely restrained two opponents. Ray Cloud senior was wearing a green robe, carrying two knives on his back, his steps seemed casual, but it was terrifyingly fast, his figure blurred, and he quickly caught up with the enemies one by one.

Every time he approached an enemy, it was a knife! Although he carried two knives on his back, pulling out one knife was enough.

He forced three people from the Sparrow team to gather and fight with Ray Cloud, and he still easily killed all the opponents with a knife. The people from the Sparrow team couldn't even touch Ray Cloud's clothes.

The teammates killed one person, and Ray Cloud senior killed four people, ending the game.

"How can the footwork be so terrible?" Jamie Smith watched attentively, his footwork is still stuck at 99% of the second level, and Ray Cloud senior's footwork was at the third level when the virtual world was just opened, and now it is even more mysterious, Jamie Smith only feels that it is an art.

It's just two steps, as if space has changed.

...

The third game, Shield Axe team vs Sword Pure team.

"Kevin Brown of the Sword Pure team is a very talented folk master, and he should be able to grow up with enough time." Jamie Smith praised, "But his opponent is Skye Bearman, who has already broken through to the third level, and has

rich combat experience, and the Sword Pure team has no hope at all."

A crushing victory.

...

The fourth game, Thunder team vs Cloud Mountain team.

"My God."

Quincy Shawn's eyes widened.

"Kill crazy!" Finn Brown also exclaimed.

Jamie Smith also looked solemnly, this game was unexpectedly exciting, and it was hard to resolve.

"Xiaguo has a total of players who have won the World Martial Arts Competition, including Eugene Yeung and Chase Goff." Chase Ron said, "Their team cooperation is very strong. Although Oliver Williams and Kevin Davis of the Cloud Mountain team have not won the world's first, they are also two martial arts masters. These two masters cooperate... and they are not at a disadvantage at all."

The core of the two teams, one side is Chase Goff and Eugene Yeung, the other side is Oliver Williams and Kevin Davis. Other teammates are obviously a bit worse.

"The strength of the two teams is very close, it depends on the performance on the spot." Jamie Smith can also see that the two teams are pulling back and forth, each calculating and cooperating.

This battle, which is rare, lasted more than nine minutes, and in the end, only the one-armed Oliver Williams was left on the field.

The Cloud Mountain team won! The Thunder team was eliminated!

"This game is the most evenly matched of the previous four games." Emily Johnson praised.

"The next game, it's our turn." Jamie Smith said, Emily Johnson, Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, and Chase Ron are all full of fighting intent, after watching the previous four games, they are all eager to fight.
