etreated to the deep mountains and old forests to practice archery. 。Then, he retired and there were no archery competitions, nor did he know the virtual world would appear. 。He practiced archery alo..."So many wolves" Li Miaomiao wore soft leather armor, a small shield in her left hand, and a long sword in her right. 。The shield is only thirty centimeters in diameter, just a little larger than a person's palm. 。At this moment, Li Miao Miao felt a little panicked. It was because these wolves were too big and fast. 。"This is just the first level of the Starry Sky Tower" Li Miao Miao watched as the wolf pack began to surround and approach, she quickly ran, "I have to run, find a chance while on the move! I can't let these wolves form an encirclement" 。Whoosh whoosh whoosh 。

Wolves are adept at cooperating, and they are also very fast. They hunt like a pack, patiently compressing Li Miaomiao's activity range without ever attacking individually. >>> 。

"These wolves are too cunning, aren't they" 。"Li MiaoMiao's heart was bitter, 'There is no chance to defeat them one by one.'" 。As the activity area narrowed, three wolves finally rushed forward. 。

Whoosh 。Li Miao Miao leaped forward, raising her small shield in her left hand to block the wolf's claws while her right hand swiftly drew a sword and stabbed it into the wolf's neck. 。After all, the virtual world has been open for seven days, and Li Miaomiao also receives individual instruction from Xu Jingming every day. Xu Jingming once taught her: "Right now, you only learn one move—stab! This is also the most suitable move for a sword." 。"Thrusts, parries, backhand strikes, turning strikes... no matter how your body moves, even if you fall, you must be able to deliver this sword strike!"

"As for your left hand, just hold a small shield. After all, you haven't trained with shields, and a large shield would hinder your swordsmanship" 。。Xu Jingming is teaching hands-on. 。Pfft! Li Miaomiao dodged left and right, her small shield struggling to defend, while her dagger was swift, continuously stabbing at the three wild wolves. 。But more wolves came rushing in. 。

"It's over" 。Faced with a pack of wild wolves surrounding her, Li Miaomiao instantly clicked to exit. 。After exiting, she returned to the outside of the Starry Sky Tower. Gazing at the imposing Starry Sky Tower, Li Miao Miao muttered, "The first layer of the Starry Sky Tower requires dealing with over a hundred wild wolves What about the third layer I wonder how Jing Ming is doing." 。Stars Tower second floor, here is a pristine mountain forest after a heavy snowfall. 。It's cold.

Xu Jingming even felt the cold seeping through his armor, invading his body. He carefully observed everything around him. 。At a glance, he saw a huge cave ahead. Five giant brown bears were frolicking outside the cave, and their appearance made Xu Jingming's face grow serious. 。These giant brown bears are over four meters long, with high and prominent shoulders. They are incredibly muscular and intimidating. Their thick, brown fur, a result of the cold environment, is very long and coarse. This thick coat and hide serve as natural armor!

“A giant brown bear that's over four meters long and weighs at least three tons. With its physique, it probably has an impact force of tens of thousands of kilograms with a single swipe. Once it charges, its power is terrifying>>> 。Humans are ill-equipped to engage in direct confrontation with it. 。Xu Jingming observed and made a judgment, "Its thick fur and subcutaneous fat! It's probably not easy to pierce with a spear. We need to target the vital points." 。Five huge brown bears, all stared at Xu Jingming, the unwelcome guest. 。"Roar" 。Then suddenly, one giant brown bear moved. Despite its large and robust size, when it charged, its speed was terrifying. 。When this enormous brown bear suddenly charged towards Xu Jingming, the other four brown bears also stood up, but didn't rush to attack, apparently thinking their companion was enough to deal with this outsider. 。Xu Jingming stood in the snow, calmly watching the giant brown bear charging towards him. 。A brown bear can run very fast. When it charges, it leaps directly at its target with massive paws swinging. 。

"Whoosh" 。Xu Jingming moved his foot, nimbly taking two steps to the side, causing the giant brown bear to miss. 。While dodging, Xu Jingming also thrust out a gun. 。"Hiss!" The spear, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, instantly pierced the giant bear's neck. This was the giant bear's 'vital point', but Xu Jingming only felt an extreme resistance when piercing it. The spear head only entered partially before becoming stuck!

“嗡” 。As Xu Jingming dodged the giant bear's counterattack with his gun, he fired another shot. 。This shot was faster, the long spear tearing through the air with a strange sound. The tip of the spear instantly pierced deep into the giant bear's neck. As the long spear was pulled out, blood gurgled and spurted out. The giant bear began to fall helplessly. 。The ordinary stabbing gun doesn't have enough power, it can't even penetrate the neck deeply. 。Using the Shadowless Strike, he killed a giant bear. 。Xu Jingming secretly evaluated, looking up at the distant cave. The other four giant bears in the cave hadn't considered outsiders a threat, but the outsider had wounded one bear with the first shot and killed its companion with the second, making them feel a huge threat, as well as immense anger!

"Roar~~"

The four giant bears rushed over. Their roars were filled with both fury and grief. 。Though a little troublesome, four of them are still solvable. 。Xu Jingming clearly judged the situation, "These giant bears have the advantage in physique and strength, but they are inferior to me in speed and agility. My shadowless stab will also stop them." 。But just then—

"Roar~~~~" Suddenly a low, deep and much more powerful roar came from the cave. This roar caused Xu Jingming's face to change. The cave was shaking, and an incredibly huge giant bear charged out of the cave. 。This is a super-giant brown bear that's over six meters long. Compared to it, the previous five giant bears look like cubs. 。。His footwork was ghostly, and as he approached the four giant bears, he made a sudden turn, followed by a swift thrust of his spear. 。In seven days, Xu Jingming's marksmanship and shield technique had improved, but the greatest progress was in his agility! These four giant bears were clumsy before Xu Jingming. 。"Bang!"

A bullet pierced deep into the neck of a grizzly bear. As another grizzly charged in fury, its paws swiping wildly, Xu Jingming quickly retracted his gun and dodged out of the way. 。While dodging, he turned around and immediately launched a counterattack! With all his might, the shot pierced the neck of another grizzly bear. 。

Just a few steps, killed two grizzly bears. 。Those top masters would keep their distance, carefully defend themselves, and never give me a chance to land a Phantom Strike. 。But these big bears...they don't defend at all, they just charge. 。After Xu Jingming killed two grizzly bears, he glanced at the super-giant brown bear charging frantically from afar. 。The King Bear is here, faster than me, it's really tough to deal with. 。Xu Jingming secretly thought. 。Puf! As he walked, another invisible strike landed, leaving a gaping hole in the bear's neck. 。Now only one bear remains, and that one is terrified. It turns and runs toward the King Bear!

"So we need to get rid of the rest of the cubs as quickly as possible" 。Xu Jingming didn't care about the charging bear king at all, instead he actively pursued the last big bear. His speed was still superior to these big bears. 。"Boom!" A head-on assault, a ferocious and violent earth-shattering blow! From the surprised bear's clumsy turning to defend, a gaping maw pierced through its skull. 。"Roar!" The bear king, filled with rage, charged towards them. 。Xu Jingming calmly drew his gun and dodged the attack with a swift movement. 。"In terms of physical strength, speed, I'm no match for this bear king." 。Only flexibility and skill prevail. 。Xu Jingming understood from a young age that in one-on-one combat, once you lose your composure, you've already lost half the battle. 。One-on-one combat is about avoiding your weaknesses and maximizing your strengths. 。"Rip—"The Bear King was six meters tall, its size simply too immense. Its two bear paws swung wildly, capable of covering a vast area. Xu Jingming also dodged by using the trees in the forest as cover. 。These trees... are a help for those of us who are small. 。

"Boom" 。The bear paw struck a large tree, and the trunk snapped directly in two under the impact, causing Xu Jingming's eyes to twitch. 。Knowing the strength of Bear King, it must be terrible. 。That's too scary. 。"If it hits me with one palm, I'm done." 。Xu Jingming dodged carefully, searching for an opportunity to attack. 。The Bear King is in pursuit.

Xu Jingming, taking advantage of the terrain, constantly dodged. 。For a moment, trees toppled one after another, and the snow was shaken up in the air. 。In the midst of a flying snowstorm, a long spear shot out, strikingly out of place! The spear was as fast as lightning, appearing suddenly at close range. The enraged King Bear, charging furiously, slammed headfirst into the spear. 。

"Poof" 。The spear pierced into the bear king's eye, but only went in partway before getting stuck. 。

Whoosh 。Xu Jingming instantly drew his gun and retreated. 。"Roar!!!" The one-eyed King Bear, blinded by fury, became even more enraged and frenzied. 。"Is this even possible" Xu Jingming was also a little disbelief. 。The frenzied bear king pursued Xu Jingming, who dodged constantly by utilizing the terrain of mountains and forests. Occasionally, he would fire back a shot. The bear king was also very careful to protect its only eye, but its neck was pierced with hole after hole by Xu Jingming. 。After a grueling eighteen minutes of fierce struggle, the bear king finally collapsed from exhaustion. 。Xu Jingming was also exhausted. 。Eighteen minutes! Eighteen minutes of intense, full-on combat! "I stabbed the bear king so many holes in his neck, I just kept bleeding it out." 。Xu Jingming also helplessly said, “He's really thick-skinned.” 。"

The thorn stuck in its back, it couldn't pierce through at all" 。"Xu Jingming was also quite helpless. He looked around, and there were many trees felled around him. The snowfield was in a mess. "Fortunately, the virtual world has been open for seven days, and my footwork has improved a lot. If I had met this bear king on the first day, I would probably have been slapped to death. There's no way I could have lasted this long." 。Through long periods of rigorous training, his physical prowess became formidable. Even when facing the siege of over a hundred fierce bandits, Xu Jingming's footwork remained agile and elusive. 。

"Passed the second layer, preparing to enter the third layer of the Starry Tower" 。A voice sounded in my ear. 。Xu Jingming's exhaustion dissipated, his body recovered to its peak state, and his spear and armor were spotless. 。The scene before my eyes began to shift, and I arrived on the third floor of the Starry Tower. 。 are not publicly sold. It was Mr. Zhou himself who came to pick it up.” 。"Back when Jingming was still on the national team" 。Xu Hong said, “When the country calls a meeting, it arranges for Jingmin...
