"The final battle is set to kick off sharp at midnight on September 6th, so don't forget, folks," the host, Shine Lewis, announced with a grin that could light up the night sky. His voice echoed with a hint of the tension that came with the gravity of the final showdown.

Beside him, the male guest, Victor Daniels, spoke with a deep, commanding voice, "Let's delve into that last fight. Jamie Smith and Emily Johnson's teamwork took down Ray Cloud. There were so many intriguing aspects to it."

The commentary on the stage continued, replaying the thrilling battle scenes, with the guests dissecting every combat element. Yet, the audience in the livestream was dwindling, as if a grand feast was coming to an end and the guests were leaving one by one. However, the ripples of this battle still resonated in everyone's hearts, lingering for a long time.

Ray Willow also rose to his feet, his figure lonely under the spotlight. "Emily Johnson, that young lass, has made a breakthrough too. The combination of two third-tier experts is indeed threatening," Ray Willow said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation before he vanished from the livestream.

On the other side of the stands, the atmosphere was entirely different. "Jamie, Emily Johnson, you guys are the bomb!" Chase Ron greeted them with excitement. His voice was filled with exhilaration and joy, as if their victory was his own.

"We're actually in the finals, whoa, I got eliminated right at the start, but who'd have thought I'd end up winning by default. Hahaha..." Finn Brown laughed, his grin as bright as the sun, illuminating the entire stands. Jamie Smith, Emily Johnson, and Quincy Shawn walked towards their teammates, their steps firm and powerful, each stride marking the rhythm of victory.

"Our Pearwood team really made it to the finals. I need to think about what to say when I'm on stage, during the post-match interviews," May Lee said with a smile that turned her eyes into crescent moons. "In the past few days, my song downloads have surged. After today's match... I bet the downloads will skyrocket even more."

"I often play 'Pearwood' as background music in the training field," Finn Brown added, a hint of pride in his voice. "It's our team anthem."

"Honey, honey," Chase Ron's wife ran over, tugging at her husband and whispering, "I remember the runner-up prize is two hundred million, right? That's double the semi-finalist prize. Can we look at bigger houses now?"

"Buy, buy, buy," Chase Ron laughed, his smile filled with indulgence and contentment.

"Sis-in-law," Finn Brown suddenly piped up, "The runner-up gets two hundred million, but the champion's prize... we should have faith in Jamie and Emily Johnson's abilities."

The teammates were all exceptionally elated, their smiles as splendid as fireworks, brightening the entire livestream. Emily Johnson also watched the scene with a smile, then said to her teammates, "I've just broken through, so I'll head back first. I need to seize the time to consolidate and prepare for the final."

"You better hurry," Jamie Smith nodded, his words filled with concern and anticipation. "If we can break through to a higher tier in the Evolutionary Technique before the final, our chances of winning will be even greater."

"In one day, to reach a higher tier in the Evolutionary Technique, Captain, do you have any experience?" Emily Johnson asked, her eyes filled with curiosity and desire.

Jamie Smith thought for a moment, then said, "First, spend about two hours consolidating your archery skills, focusing mainly on getting familiar with your body's strength. Then try practicing the Evolutionary Technique three times. After that, hone your archery skills for another two hours, practice the Evolutionary Technique three more times... and so on. Before the match, calm down and try practicing the Evolutionary Technique a dozen times to see if you can break through."

"Actually, the third-tier strength technique involves mobilizing deeper layers of the body's power. The higher-tier Evolutionary Technique also involves deeper mobilization of the body in its practice," Jamie Smith explained, his words filled with wisdom and experience. "Consciously guiding the deeper layers of your body to participate in the Evolutionary Technique, the hope of breaking through will be greater."

"Got it," Emily Johnson listened carefully, her eyes filled with determination and resolve. "Thanks, Captain, I'm out of here."

Emily Johnson said her goodbyes and left the livestream. At that moment, the audience in the livestream continued to dwindle, dropping to over three hundred million, while the guests on the commentary stage were still looking forward to the final.

"Jamie Smith and Emily Johnson's cooperation was able to defeat Ray Cloud. Then, against Ray Willow, they might also pose a sufficient threat," the host and guests discussed.

"Jamie Smith is good at shield techniques, Emily Johnson is good at archery, one to entangle the enemy, the other to shoot arrows. When they cooperate, one plus one is greater than three. I also think the final is full of variables. Ray Willow might even lose this final," they said, their words filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Suddenly, the three of them saw an alert message. Normally, they rarely talked about other topics, but the message in the prompt was somewhat astonishing.

"We just got the news," the host, Shine Lewis, said in surprise, his voice filled with shock and the incredible. "The Starry Sky List has a seventh person, a master from the Roman Nation."

"What?"

Originally, Jamie Smith and the others, who had started to say goodbye and were preparing to disperse, were all taken aback. Their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

"The Starry Sky List, the seventh in the world?" Jamie Smith felt a sense of urgency, his eyes filled with vigilance and determination.

"Let's go check it out."

Jamie Smith said a word and immediately headed to the Starry Tower in the mission space, and May Lee and the others also rushed there one by one.

...

Under the Starry Tower, Jamie Smith appeared here, looking up at the huge list that was as tall as the Starry Tower in the night sky. The huge list now had seven names.

First in the world: Ray Willow (Summer Country)

Second in the world: Tyler Forester (Eagle Federation)

Third in the world: Fedor Emelianenko (Rus Country)

Fourth in the world: Leonardo King (Bowana)

Fifth in the world: Ray Cloud (Summer Country)

Sixth in the world: Kyle Mills (Eagle Federation)

Seventh in the world: Alex Thompson (Roman Nation)

"Alex Thompson, that ice and snow behemoth from the Roman Nation?" Jamie Smith knew who it was when he saw the name. Alex Thompson, a dominant figure in the world martial arts competition in recent years, although not as overwhelming as the three kings, but he participated in the martial arts competition and was also stable in the top three. And he has also won the world's first place twice in total.

Alex Thompson, 32 years old this year, is 2.28 meters tall and weighs 225 kilograms.

This was the latest physical data of the other party in the World Martial Arts Federation before the start of the virtual world. At that time, a height of 2.28 meters... The figure was too huge, absolutely a behemoth.

"The martial arts community has always questioned Alex Thompson," Jamie Smith thought, "Because he relies on his height and arm length, his great strength, wearing heavy armor and holding a pair of big hammers, just swinging the big hammers, easily rushing to the forefront of the world martial arts competition. But the figure is too huge, the flexibility is not enough, and he usually loses the game because the enemy finds opportunities in the flexibility."

"There are many huge people in the world, but huge figures are generally slow in action and movement. Alex Thompson's flexibility is a bit worse, compared with the world's top masters. Compared with ordinary people... His movements are fierce and fast."

"After practicing the Evolutionary Technique, everyone's body can become very strong. The body's talent has been weakened. I didn't expect that a martial arts master who seemed to rely on his body in the past turned out to be the seventh on the Starry Sky List, the first person in the entire Roman Nation." Jamie Smith thought. The Roman Nation is a strong fighting country.

After all, it has about a billion people, with a strong fighting atmosphere, and many world-class masters have emerged.

"Jamie, Jamie."

May Lee contacted and said, "Hurry up, now the whole network is discussing this seventh in the world! Many live broadcast rooms have found the latest information about Alex Thompson."

"Oh?" Jamie Smith immediately clicked and went to his girlfriend's place.

...

In the observation platform, in a live broadcast room where his girlfriend was, Jamie Smith also teleported here and walked to his girlfriend's side and sat down.

"Although the virtual countries in the world are not connected for the time being, the external ordinary network, the world is still interconnected," May Lee said.

Jamie Smith looked at the host of this live broadcast room. "I have been collecting detailed information and combat videos of the world's top masters," a thin young man sitting there said, "This person

who has risen to the seventh place on the Starry Sky List, I have briefly said before about his real-life achievements. As for the information about him after the start of the virtual world, I'm afraid there are not many people who know in our country."

The thin young man pointed to the side and began to play a few videos, "These are some key battles he fought in the virtual world, and he practiced the Violent Tiger Evolutionary Technique! After practicing the Evolutionary Technique, his weakness of poor body flexibility disappeared, and he became more flexible and fierce."

"Wearing heavy armor, a pair of big hammers, flexible and fierce. He is the fiercest behemoth in the entire Roman Nation," the thin young man said, "Now the Roman Nation is also holding a competition, and Livan is the most invincible one! He also led the team into the final, but before the final, he took the lead in passing the third level of the Starry Tower... Now the Roman Nation is boiling, and he is also recognized as the first person in the Roman Nation's martial arts!"

Jamie Smith watched several videos playing at the same time, and the videos were repeated playback of some key battles.

"Alex Thompson's combat skills are very sophisticated," Jamie Smith watched, "It may be that in the past, he was too huge a body to be bound, and the body's flexibility was poor, making it difficult to achieve the achievements of the three kings in the martial arts world. But now the Evolutionary Technique has made him no longer have this weakness. It has become more terrifying."

May Lee nodded thoughtfully. "In the past, I always felt that it was strange for such a giant to be so strong in the martial arts world," Jamie Smith said with emotion. In reality, many giants are not good at martial arts combat, and they are all abused when they go on the field.

Livan went on the field, but he abused others. He was stable in the top three and has also won the world's first place twice, which is very incredible.

"In the country, I may be only second to Master Ray Willow and Ray Cloud's predecessors. But looking at the world... there are still many masters," Jamie Smith also felt that there were many masters competing globally, and said, "I have to continue to work hard, I'll go to the training field first."

"Hmm." May Lee nodded obediently, watching Jamie Smith leave and disappear.
