In the ancient forest, the flames of battle had reached their peak. Jamie Smith, the young warrior, faced the ultimate challenge, his eyes gleaming with determination. Without hesitation, he discarded the twin shields in his hands, drew out the two sections of the spear from his back, and with a twist in mid-air, they clicked into place, locked securely. At this moment, Jamie Smith's heart was devoid of distractions, his gaze fixed solely on his opponent.
"At this point, the final match seems to have no suspense," Celia Green murmured from the commentary platform, her voice tinged with an imperceptible tension.
The host, Shine Lewis, nodded in agreement, "With Emily Johnson eliminated, the battlefield now only has Jamie Smith and Teacher Ray Willow in a one-on-one duel. It must be admitted that there is still a significant gap between Jamie Smith and the world's number one, Teacher Ray Willow. The outcome of this battle seems to be predetermined, and Teacher Ray Willow's team will likely win the Fire Seed Cup championship."
"Of course, I also hope for a miracle, for me to be proven wrong," Shine Lewis said with a bright smile, "That would be a miracle that shakes the entire Summer Country."
"The breakthrough in martial arts is not something that happens overnight," Ray Cloud stated, his voice steady and powerful, "Jamie Smith and Ray Willow are too far apart. If Emily Johnson were still alive, there might be some variables. Ray Willow is just too cautious, unwilling to put himself in a dangerous situation, and took care of Emily Johnson first."
"He is cautious," Celia Green agreed, her eyes reflecting respect for the battle.
...
"He's going to lose," May Lee, Emily Johnson, Quincy Shawn, Chase Ron, Finn Brown, Hugh Smith, Dane Tony, Daisy Young, and many others, including numerous relatives and friends, were all watching the battle. Although they hoped Jamie Smith could win, those with a bit of reason understood how slim the hope was.
******
Jamie Smith suddenly charged forward, his combat boots stomping through the muddy forest, yet his figure was as fast as a fleeting shadow, a dark red blur rushing straight at Ray Willow. His movements were like a wild beast, full of ferocity and power.
"The momentum is quite fierce," Ray Willow said, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, his posture calm and composed as if he had seen through everything.
"Whoosh."
As Jamie Smith rushed up close, he made a move with his hand, and a spear spun like a dragon, already thrusting towards Ray Willow! The fluttering red tassels made the trajectory of the spear even more blurred and hard to determine. Each of his attacks was filled with strength and speed, as if he wanted to tear the air apart.
Ray Willow casually slashed with his sword, the blade easily parrying, then slicing down on the spear shaft, causing it to tilt to one side. His movements were simple yet effective, each sword swing like a painting, elegant and deadly.
Jamie Smith's footwork changed in an instant, and the spear was retracted and thrust out again. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! In the live broadcast scene, Jamie Smith's spear suddenly split into more than a dozen shadows. Although it was a series of more than ten consecutive thrusts, they were so fast that these more than ten spear shadows remained in people's vision at the same time, as if they were thrust out simultaneously.
"The advantage of a spear against a sword and shield is the length of the weapon. My attack range is larger, but my master has to get close," Jamie Smith thought to himself, his attacks like a relentless storm, continuous and unyielding.
"And the spear is best at thrusting and stabbing! This is the fastest way to make consecutive moves," Jamie Smith was very good at leveraging the advantages of his weapon. For a moment, the spear shadows were like a flurry of arrows, dazzling to the eyes. Ray Willow held a shield in his left hand, but instead of blocking, he only used his right hand to wield the sword. His right hand chopped, slashed, and pressed... effectively drawing arcs, all part of a circle.
With a single sword drawing arcs, no matter how fierce Jamie Smith's spear technique came, it was naturally blocked. "The way of Tai Chi is best at defense," Ray Willow was very relaxed, he didn't even need to use his shield, a single sword was enough.
"Bang!"
Among the many spear shadows that Jamie Smith thrust out, there was suddenly a sudden pick-up force, intending to break the sword that was blocking. Ray Willow's seemingly gentle sword light, however, became much more resilient at the moment when Jamie Smith picked up, and with a slight shake, it dissipated about seventy to eighty percent of the pick-up force, leaving the rest not worth worrying about.
"Bang." Jamie Smith's continuous spear thrusts suddenly turned into a short-range chop, and Ray Willow's sword light, which was wielded, was also extremely tough, blocking this sudden chop.
In an instant, Jamie Smith was attacking frantically. His current combat style was different from the past, pursuing speed and instant power. This made his moves even more difficult to guard against, but Ray Willow could still defend.

"The young man from the Summer Country has a fierce spear technique," the Sakura Country envoy in the Blue Star Alliance delegation, who knew the most about spear techniques, also saw the fierceness of Jamie Smith's spear technique. Sakura Country itself has a lot of spear practice. Although kendo is thriving in Sakura Country, spear technique can rank second, especially in cold weapon combat, the advantage of the spear over the sword is too great... The virtual world has been open for more than a month, and the rise of spear technique has already approached kendo.
"
This Jamie Smith, his spear technique, one word, fast. And many actions like chopping spears, picking spears, and holding spears are very small, all are instant forces. The preparatory actions are very small, and it is difficult for opponents to resist," the Sakura Country envoy looked solemn, "In our country, it is already the first-class spear technique. The video of this Summer Country competition must be carefully studied by our country."
Envoys from countries like Tianzhu Country and White Eagle Federation also observed carefully, comparing with the masters in their own countries, and their expressions became more serious. Because this Jamie Smith, if placed in their country, is the top level, and Ray Willow is invisible to its limit.
...
Jamie Smith attacked continuously for a full three minutes, doing his best to understand the spear technique, but Ray Willow still blocked all the attacking moves with a single sword.
"Jamie, now I will start attacking. And my attack will become stronger and stronger, unlimitedly increasing, until it reaches my limit," Ray Willow suddenly said in a private voice, "It depends on when you can hold on."
As soon as the voice fell, Ray Willow's sword technique changed. When Jamie Smith's spear attacked like a venomous snake again, the sword light flashed, but it was stuck on Jamie Smith's spear, which made Jamie Smith quite uncomfortable. At the moment of sticking, the sword slid down the spear shaft! It wants to chop down Jamie Smith's fingers holding the spear.
Stick to the spear and chop the hand, everything is natural, and it is as fast as lightning.
"Bang." Fortunately, Jamie Smith immediately released the force at the moment when his master's sword was stuck on the spear shaft, breaking the distance between the spear shaft and the sword light, avoiding this sword.
"Whoosh."
Ray Willow's sword light flickered, getting close again and again, and as long as the sword light touched the spear shaft, it would stick and control.
Jamie Smith was forced to retreat continuously, while the spear got rid of his master.
"Stick to the spear and chop the hand, if you can block this move, then it's the next move," Ray Willow was very leisurely, and the power of the moves was increasing, the speed of the sword technique was faster, sometimes soft, sometimes tough. It made Jamie Smith more and more difficult, and in just one minute, he was forced to defend completely.
A sword forced Jamie Smith, who held a spear, to defend completely, and Jamie Smith was also frustrated, but the sword light was too terrible! He felt that he might not be able to defend even if he defended with all his strength.
"How can someone practice sword technique so terribly? I have met many opponents, and I have seen many weapon techniques in the virtual world... But I feel that the master is far beyond everyone, and the gap is too big," Jamie Smith felt almost suffocated.
He has fought with Ray Cloud, but Ray Cloud's swordsmanship did not give Jamie Smith a fatal threat. Other people are even more talked about, Jamie Smith can suppress and even crush opponents with weapons.
Only when he met his master...
Master is like the sea, and there is no edge. I always feel that I have done my best, and the master still suppresses me with a single sword, making it difficult to breathe.
"In the face of this situation, I am far behind my master in terms of pure skills, and there are two ways to break it, either by strength or by speed," Jamie Smith thought, "My evolution has not been improved for a long time, and my physical strength is not as good as my master. I definitely don't have enough strength, and the only hope I have is instant speed."
"The limit of speed."
"My fastest move is the shadowless stab!"
Jamie Smith finally made a decision when he was suppressed and almost suffocated, and made a final gamble. In the past, the shadowless stab was used when there was an opportunity and there was a chance.
This time, there is no chance, but still have to use it.
Using it will reveal a big flaw!
If it is not successful, it will be death.
"At this time!"
When Jamie Smith's master's sword was close, he suddenly exerted his strength without any warning.
The pressure from the master, the psychological impact brought by the attention of countless people in the country, and the forced use of the shadowless stab without any chance... All made Jamie Smith feel that this time, it was different from the usual.
In the past, it was a fatal blow, and the blood was sealed.
This time, it is a desperate attack! It is an attack regardless of one's own life! Jamie Smith is completely crazy.
"Boom."
Regardless of life, regardless of everything to pursue speed, at this moment, Jamie Smith felt that when the whole body's muscles and bones were mobilized, they mobilized a deeper force, and the force of many muscle groups was more rapid, and the speed was improved again. This is faster than before.
"Faster than any move I have ever made! Maybe I can win!" When Jamie Smith stabbed this spear, he only felt that this move was very beautiful, and even felt that he might win.
Ray Willow was as usual, constantly increasing the pressure, to see when the apprentice could bear it. He just made a normal sword, but who thought that Jamie Smith suddenly burst out with a spear at this time.
The spear shadow was too fast! Ray Willow's scalp was numb.
"Not good." Ray Willow didn't have time to move, and his left hand shield immediately closed, and the spear shadow stabbed on the shield!
The shield is, after all, the weapon that is best at defense. Moreover, Ray Willow's one-handed shield is also larger than Jamie Smith's shield, and as long as you slightly close the shield, you can block a large area.
When the shield was blocked, it naturally counterattacked, and Ray Willow also found that Jamie Smith's spear was shaken and the middle door was wide open, revealing a clear flaw.
Whoosh.
Very naturally, Ray Willow took a step forward, and the sword light flashed, and it was pointed at Jamie Smith's throat, piercing the throat.
"It was blocked." Jamie Smith murmured, his peak attack that surpassed the past, the fastest attack, was actually blocked. Not blocked by the sword, but blocked by the master's shield.
"It can also force the master to use the shield." Jamie Smith's figure was illusory and dissipated in the mountain forest map.
There is only one person left in the entire mountain forest, holding a shield and sword, some fear of Ray Willow: "This silly boy, the last move is really fast."
