In the personal space's martial arena, Jamie Smith's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, scrutinizing his personal combat panel. He nodded slightly, as if confirming something, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Just as I expected," he muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of confidence, "The extreme pressure from the battle with Senior Ray Cloud has been quite helpful for my marksmanship and footwork."
His marksmanship had already reached 48% of the third tier, and his footwork was at 9% of the same level. Such progress would be a source of pride for anyone, but for Jamie Smith, it was just another step on his path of martial arts.
"Let's give the Star Tower a try again," he thought, his heart burning with a fighting spirit as fierce as a blazing fire. The news of the seventh master globally who had broken through the third level of the Star Tower was like a shot in the arm, fueling Jamie Smith's combative fervor.
However, a moment later, Jamie Smith was back in the martial arena. His brow furrowed slightly, as if unsatisfied. "Although I performed a bit better than last time, I'm still short of taking down the Tiger King," he said softly, his tone carrying a hint of introspection, "There's still a clear gap between me and the masters on the ranking list."
With a gentle tap, he opened the video of his semi-final duel. In slow motion, every move of his fight with Ray Cloud was magnified, every strike and stance carefully studied. He was searching for his weaknesses, striving to improve himself.
...
Time flowed like water, and although he had won the semi-final, Jamie Smith clearly didn't celebrate much, instead immersing himself in training, pursuing higher and stronger combat skills.
As night fell, around eight in the evening, Jamie Smith and May Lee were in the living room, eating fruit and watching holographic programs, chatting casually. This was also their time to enjoy their private world.
"Today's programs, so many are talking about the Star Tower list," Jamie Smith switched to the program's main page, unable to help but sigh, "Tonight is the Fireseed Cup final, and the number of programs talking about the Star Tower list is no less than those discussing the final."
May Lee nodded, her eyes sparkling with a longing for the Star Tower list. "After all, the Star Tower has been open for so long, and only seven people globally have broken through the third level. Every time someone breaks through, it's a global event."
"To leave a name on the Star Tower list is to be truly known worldwide," Jamie Smith said. The Fireseed Cup competition was just a national event.
Just like how he didn't watch competitions held by other countries in the world now, people from other countries also didn't watch the Fireseed Cup competition.
"Alex Thompson, these two big hammers, each one is bigger than a human skull. They're like two smaller shields." The program host was commenting on the video, sighing, "Wearing heavy armor, he only needs to protect his head. With the two hammers... no one can threaten him, and when he swings them, they're much more ferocious than Jamie Smith's shield techniques."
"Jamie Smith is fierce, but no matter how fierce, the difference in weapons is still significant. A shield is mainly for defense, while a hammer is a true heavy weapon." The female host also said. That hammer had a sharp point.
Chop, smash, stab, sweep, all sorts of movements were terrifyingly powerful.
"The Roman country also has a third-tier archer, but Alex Thompson defends watertight. He even has a unique skill of throwing axes. With one flying axe, he ended the archer." The male host praised, in the video, Alex Thompson, holding a hammer in one hand to block the arrows, took an axe from his waist, quickly threw it, the axe spinning and turning into a residual shadow flying out, the speed was so fast that it probably reached the speed of sound.
"His strength is no less than Eugene Fong's." Jamie Smith and May Lee said, "Even in terms of combat skills, he is stronger than Eugene Fong."
After all, he is a veteran who has been fighting in the World Martial Arts Competition for many years. Although he is only three years older than Jamie Smith, his competition experience is much richer than Jamie Smith's.
"He is worthy of having broken through the Star Tower." The male host praised, "Almost no flaws can be found, his double hammers cooperate, the defense is too good. If Jamie Smith's defense was so strong, he would not have been suppressed like that by Ray Cloud."
"Jamie Smith is good, at least he lasted so long." The female host said, "It's precisely because he lasted long that the game had a turning point."
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"His spear lost many times, it was by using a pair of arm guards as small shields that he barely supported." The male host said, "Jamie Smith's spear skills still need to be improved. Otherwise, he can't defeat the strongest few masters in the world."
"After all, he has appeared on the Star Tower list, of course he is stronger than Jamie Smith." The female host smiled and said, "Don't always say that about Jamie Smith, he is already very good."
"I'm anxious! Jamie Smith should be the second only to Ray Willow and Ray Cloud in our country. He is also the most hopeful one to break through the Star Tower now." The male host said, "Watching other countries' masters on the list, we don't have new people coming out, I'm anxious."
"Anyway, our country occupies two in the world, which is very remarkable." The female host said.
"Don't lie on the merits of the past, one of us on the list is in his seventies, and the other is in his eighties." The male host said, "What about the young people? Leonardo King is only twenty years old now, and Alex Thompson is only thirty-two years old, what about our country's young people? Young people have a shorter cultivation time, which can better show potential."
The female host nodded slightly: "The more conspicuous young people in our country are Jamie Smith and Eugene Fong."
"I don't know when a young person in our country will appear on the Star Tower list." The male host looked forward to it.
Watching the program.
Jamie Smith also felt the urgency of the people in our country.
"Three days!" Jamie Smith said, "In three days, my spear skills and footwork will improve a bit, and I should be able to break through the Star Tower."
May Lee hugged her boyfriend's arm and comforted him: "Don't care too much about the pressure from society, you just follow your own rhythm. You have been very hard, and you have said that cultivation is a natural thing, is the most enjoyable thing. Don't let an enjoyable thing become a stressful thing."
Jamie Smith looked at his girlfriend and nodded with a smile.
He loves martial arts and takes this road because he enjoys it.
...
Late at night, in the virtual world's official broadcast room of our country, the audience kept pouring in.
Jamie Smith and May Lee also came to the broadcast room.
"Captain."
"Jamie."
The other team members were all smiling.
"Emily Johnson came so early?" Jamie Smith saw Emily Johnson, thinking Emily Johnson would be the last to arrive.
"I have been practicing all day, and I am also relaxing." Emily Johnson said with a smile, "I finally lived up to everyone's expectations, and an hour ago, my evolution method just broke through."
"Emily Johnson is so great." May Lee's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"After the archery reached the third level, it broke through in one day?" Jamie Smith also praised, "It's amazing."
He also broke through the evolution method after his gun skills broke through, and it took more than a day to break through, of course, he didn't have the pressure of the final coming, so he was more relaxed.
"Captain, your experience is very useful, I tried to mobilize the body to practice the evolution method more deeply, and finally succeeded." Emily Johnson was also happy, "In this way, I can cooperate with the captain, and we can also have a good fight with Coach Ray Willow."
"If we lie down to win the championship..." Finn Brown was very happy.
"Either, we lie down to win the championship." May Lee smiled and said, "Either, it's Uncle and they lie down to win the championship."
Jamie Smith listened and laughed.
Yes.
Dad is in another team.
"Today, our Xu family is bound to have a champion member." Jamie Smith laughed.
"Son!" Just mentioned his father, Hugh Smith and his wife appeared together, Hugh Smith grinned and was very happy: "Our father and son are both in the final, ha ha, I really didn't dare to think about it before."
His son's achievements made Hugh Smith very happy.
As parents, the most expected thing is to hope that their children will become dragons.
"Son." Jamie Smith's mother immediately said, "When the time comes, just go for your dad, it's okay in the virtual world."
"Come on." Hugh Smith said confidently, "If I fall down, you still have your master Ray Willow!"
"You can
really lie down and win." Jamie Smith's mother shook her head.
"If you have a good son, you can lie down and win." Hugh Smith laughed, "If it weren't for my son, I wouldn't have met Ray Willow."
...
As time went by, all kinds of people came to the broadcast room.
"This Jamie Smith, has he made it to the final? After the virtual world opened, my career took off. Why do I feel that his rise is faster than mine?" Sean Hill sat in the stands, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Lena Smith also came to the stands alone at the moment, he didn't gather with any friends, and watched silently: "Jamie Smith's team has made it to the final... Can he still win the championship? I am also a member of the team!"
He didn't feel much when other teams won.
But the more the Pear Wood team won, the more he felt that he had "missed too much", fame, bonus, and even future development prospects.
...
Charles Bennett of the Life Evolution Bureau and the four deputy directors are also in the stands, watching the upcoming final.
"Director, our country's younger generation is a bit behind." The female deputy director said, "The young people we are paying attention to are a bit behind other countries."
Charles Bennett said: "You have to be patient."
"Wesley Brown, Deputy Director Cindy Taylor, you two get ready." Charles Bennett looked at the news, "The envoys of the major member states of the Blue Star Alliance are coming, you two come with me to meet them."
Soon, in a place on the stands.
A Blue Star Alliance envoy team of dozens of people arrived, they came from the other 31 member states.
"Welcome to our country." Charles Bennett led two deputy directors to receive them. This is not a public visit, Charles Bennett is responsible for receiving. In fact, the major member states of the Blue Star Alliance's competition, there are envoys attending.
"Zhou, hello." A white old man at the head smiled and said, "I heard that the final of your country, one side is the world's first Ray Willow, and the other side is two young masters of your country, our envoys are all talking when we gather, and we are also looking forward to the strength of your young generation."
"The stronger the younger generation of our country, the stronger the younger generation of the entire Blue Star Alliance." A Japanese envoy said with a smile.
