Chapter 41: The Gap Between the Basics

sion 。His wife smiled, watching the scene. That night, on the national team's training ground, she saw this man practicing his swordsmanship barefoot, alone under the lights. She was drawn to him then..."He lost"

"Liu Hai lost"

The originally excited official livestreaming room suddenly fell silent, and countless viewers were dumbfounded. 。But immediately, there was an uproar! Over 6 billion viewers were stunned, the sound of astonishment sweeping through the entire live broadcast room like a landslide. Countless viewers couldn't believe it - the world's number one player, 'Liu Hai,' had lost!

"The first semi-final is over, Tianya * Xilai has won and successfully advanced to the finals." 。Although shocked, the female host immediately announced the results. 。"It was too fast, the last move was too fast." 。Tu Ling couldn't help but say, "Master Liu Hai was clearly attacking the whole time, for more than three minutes, then Tia Yano suddenly counterattacked! With a flip of his staff, he struck and killed Master Liu Hai"

"During the final counterattack, Tia Yano was much more agile and his staff techniques were much faster." 。"Yeselova also said that, as an archer, her eyesight is naturally extraordinary." 。

"Watch in slow motion" 。Haru Singh points at the slow-motion combat footage. 。。In slow motion, it's clear that Tiaiano was incredibly agile in the final moments, dodging Liu Hai's attack with ease. Compared to him, Liu Hai seemed clumsy. Right after Tiaiano dodged, he struck with his staff!The speed of the staff technique was also much faster! In slow motion, it was so fast that it left a blurry afterimage. 。

The spear strike... the shield couldn't block it, Liu Hai's right hand sword barely managed to deflect it. 。The long staff flipped!

Liu Hai's shield immediately went up, but it was still a bit too late. 。The long staff struck the shield’s edge, almost simultaneously the clubhead slammed into Li Hai's crown. 。One strike, fatal. 。"Quickly" 。“Haru Singh exclaimed, “Too fast! Master Liu Hai’s shield and sword combo defense was already perfect, but at the last moment... Tyano’s staff burst forth with such speed that even Master Liu Hai couldn’t react in time and got struck on the head!” 。"Once it reaches a certain level, there's no time to even defend." 。Túlìng sighed. 。Even the casual viewers could understand in slow motion that Tiaanoxili's final burst of staff speed was just too fast. He killed Liu Hai with two strikes. 。"Tian Yao is actually this strong! He unleashed a powerful move and killed Liu Hai with two strikes!" 。"As expected of the world's number one genius, he has already completely surpassed Liu Hai in just ten months since the virtual world opened!"

"Once he gets serious, Liu Hai wouldn't be able to withstand two hits!" 。That's outrageous. 。"It's not outrageous that

Liu Hai, who is over seventy years old, can be on par with Tian Ya Nuo, who is only twenty years old last year. Tian Ya Nuo has never participated in any professional events. In just over a month since the virtual world opened, his strength has reached that of Liu Hai's. Tian Ya Nuo's talent is truly terrifying." 。

Countless viewers were abuzz with discussion. 。Although people around the world were shocked by Liu Hai's defeat, they understood that losing to Tiaiano was understandable. 。After all, Tyana has always been considered the world's number one genius!

On the other hand, people from China are feeling very down. 。

Liu Hai lost 。"Even if he lost, how could he lose so badly Tiyano exploded, defeating Liu Hai with two strikes"

"A new generation replaces the old!"

The people of Xia sighed in admiration. 。In the stands, Liu Hai sat alone. He didn't meet up with any friends, simply sitting by himself, watching the replay of the live broadcast. 。He could accept failure!

But the last two blows killed him, leaving Liu Hai quite uncomfortable. He lost too badly. 。Looking back on this match 。"Liu Hai thought to himself, 'In the early stages, Ti Yano always relied on pure speed, strength, and agility when fighting me.'" 。Even if I unleashed both of my greatest attacks with full power, he kept defending and dodging with basic moves. 。He had never used any special skill moves. 。With his kind of talent, the Blue Star civilization would definitely pass on its legacy to him. 。And before the dojo's total score ranking, he also got contribution points, and must have received inheritance, learning powerful secret techniques from the inheritance. 。"

But...

He fought me for over three minutes, relying only on basic moves" 。

At the last moment, only did he resort to his killing move.

Once he unleashed his killing move, his movements became significantly more agile, and his stick technique accelerated. 。"Liu Hai shook his head gently, "In the transmission of martial arts, there is usually more than one unique move. There could be three, five, seven or even eight unique moves." 。。"Liu Hai realized this. "He's far ahead of me in evolution, his foundation is much stronger than mine, so when he uses powerful killing moves, I can't withstand them." 。This is the gap in evolution. 。“The last time I sparred with Jingming, I realized that my cultivation in the realm of mental awareness pales in comparison to his.” 。"Liu Hai thought to himself, 'Clearly, in terms of evolution, I am inferior to Jingming, and also inferior to Tiyana.'" 。Even if you create some unique techniques, without sufficient power and speed to support them, powerful techniques... are just castles in the air. 。Liu Hai knew very well where they had lost this battle. 。

fell short of the fundamentals 。Tianyano's evolution is significantly stronger, his power at least double that of his! His speed is also faster, and he is more agile! Liu Hai can only gain an advantage by using his two self-created ultimate moves, but he still cannot win completely. 。

As for Tiyano He just unleashed his ultimate move, winning with two strikes. 。If my power and speed could rival that of Tiawan, then victory would be within reach. 。"Liu Hai muttered to himself, 'The foundation is far too weak, and no tricks can make up for it.'" 。"Jingming is about to compete with Tiger Woods for another spot in the finals." 。"I'll leave him be for now, and wait until his fight is over to chat with him about some intelligence on Tiaan." 。Liu Hai was thinking. 。The World Martial Arts Championship, the first semi-final has ended, and the second semi-final is about to begin. 。Liu Hai has also been eliminated, now it all comes down to Xu Jingming. 。Xu Jingming must win. 。"In a life-or-death struggle, anything is possible. Xu Jingming could also fail. Don't overhype Xu Jingming." 。I believe in Xu Jingming. 。The people of Xia Country were somewhat disappointed due to Liu Hai's failure, but they were also more tense and expectant for the next game... Now, only Xu Jingming from Xia Country is still fighting. Naturally, the people of Xia Country hope that their national master will reach the final. 。Now, Liu Hai has lost. Will Xu Jingming also lose People are unsure about that. 。After all, more than seven months have passed since I cleared the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower. Anything is possible. 。"Next up is the second semifinal match, Xia Guo's Xu Jingming facing off against White Eagle Federation's Tyger*Fursen" 。The female host said excitedly, “This battle will also decide the last finalist spot.” 。On the stands 。

"I'm going on stage." 。Xu Jingming got up. 。Come on! 。Li Miaomiao encouraged her own husband. 。Captain, it's up to you. 。Wang Yi shouted. 。"Xu Ge, you must defeat that Tiger Woods!" 。"Yang Qingxue said, "I believe you" 。"Hahaha... Grandson, you really are a badass!" Old Master Xu was actually very excited. "With over six billion viewers at the scene, this is an unprecedented stage! The hype is way higher than any esports competition back in my day. Right now, all of Xia Guo's people are watching you, nervously anticipating your victory! You have to give it your all, burn yourself out, charge forward! Take down Tiger*Folsom first, then obliterate Trajan*Xirelei, and secure that world champion title!" 。Xu Hong and Dai Tongda also raised their fists. 。"Well, let's kill Tegar*Fursen first, then destroy Tiaano." 。Xu Jingming smiled, and the fighting spirit in his heart grew even stronger. 。

Actually, after seeing Master Liu Hai defeated by Tia Yano, he had a strong urge to fight Tia Yano, but according to the rules, he had to qualify for the finals first! Teg*Forson, from previous matches, was also a master who hid his strength well, and he couldn't be careless at all. 。At this moment, Xu Jingming suddenly saw a figure appearing in the distance. It was Liu Hai. Liu Hai's whole body aura had also converged much, becoming much calmer. 。

"Master" 。Xu Jingming spoke, and the other people also saw Liu Hai. 。"Go all out, and aim for the finals first!" Liu Hai looked at Xu Jingming and encouraged him. 。"Well," 。Xu Jingming nodded, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly, he had already entered the preparation space. 。s slowly, you will be surpassed!…Suddenly, a mighty voice echoed through the world: "Congratulations to everyone for obtaining the qualifying spots for the main competition of this tournament!" 。Base...
