13: A powerful Saint-level martial skill, dominating the third tier!

Yunxiao Prefecture, Yunxiao Martial Arts School, Girls' Dormitory.

Xu Muwan had been worrying lately about not being able to come up with good content for her livestreams; the audience was already tired of watching the daily life of a girl at a martial arts school.

Fans had been reporting one after another that the livestreams lacked entertainment value.

It was boring to watch.

And since she was a practical Weapon Combat Style practitioner, her attempts to livestream battles in the Virtual Combat Space consisted of her relentlessly chasing the opponent without saying a single line.

She didn't interact with the audience at all.

At first, it did attract a portion of fans who liked that style, but seeing other streamers either hunting for treasures in a Secret Realm, fighting Exotic Beasts at the border, or doing intense stunts...

The competition made Xu Muwan so anxious she couldn't sleep well.

It was like seeing a roommate reading with a flashlight after the lights were out in a university dorm.

Hearing the sound of a roommate flipping pages felt even noisier than the sound of other roommates playing games.

As a student about to enter her senior year...

Xu Muwan's goal was clear: to become an internet celebrity, accumulate an initial fan base, and finally transition into a Star Martial Artist.

Given that Xu Muwan's looks were at least at the level of a 'half-step Department Belle' in school...

With professional packaging and traffic in the Late Stage, it was possible for her to become a household name female star in Xia Country!

Xu Muwan didn't even dare to dream of becoming a household name figure solely through the path of a Martial Artist.

After all, Xu Muwan's talent could only be described as decent.

A strength at the Third-Tier Peak would already allow one to serve as a major member of the Martial Unification Bureau in an ordinary city.

Both her family and former high school classmates praised her as a Genius, including some suitors she couldn't be bothered to deal with.

But Xu Muwan knew very well that she would likely remain a Middle-Rank Martial Artist for the rest of her life.

Compared to the true favored ones of heaven at the Shenzhou Martial Arts School, she really wasn't fit to even carry their shoes.

Thinking of Captain Zhou from Shenzhou Martial Arts School, who was promoted to the Seventh-Tier at the end of last year and effortlessly crushed all opponents in the 'Global Martial Arts School League' along with his teammates who averaged Sixth-Tier, she sighed helplessly.

Xu Muwan opened her livestream as usual and entered the combat pod; the Virtual Combat Space could be livestreamed.

The System would automatically apply facial blurring to the opponent and adjust their physique to prevent the exposure of some Martial Artists' trump cards.

However, she couldn't see the fans' comments, so she could only rely on experience to guide the audience's emotions, occasionally giving a few lines of commentary for the simplest interaction.

Seeing the words 'Match Successful,' Xu Muwan chose a two-handed sword.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mumu. Today I'll continue livestreaming my rank climb, sprinting for Diamond I."

"Dear viewers, please give a follow so you won't get lost in future livestreams~"

...This was Jiang Hao's fifth battle.

In the first four matches, Jiang Hao had resolved the battles with a casual strike. There were no flashy talent skills; whether it was weapon combat or techniques, everything was a One-hit Kill!

"The Saint-rank Martial Skill at the entry level is indeed powerful!" Jiang Hao pondered whether he should get a custom-made, sturdy, and durable long saber.

After all, the one Jiang Hao had at home was made of ordinary stainless steel; it would probably be ruined after one strike.

The weapons of Weapon Combat Style Martial Artists must be forged from Materials that can conduct Essence Power!

"Family, please click on the popularity votes."

"I saw the request for a teaching session in the fans' last comments, so today I'll demonstrate it in actual combat for everyone.

I guarantee I'll explain how to seize opportunities and what to do at the start when facing Martial Artists of different styles to master the rhythm!"

"Hmm? What's that noise?" Jiang Hao looked doubtfully at the "young girl" opposite him who hadn't turned on the blurring.

She was wearing a Sakura Country-style sailor suit, and her eyes were unfocused as if she were talking to someone invisible in the air.

"Good grief, I actually ran into a streamer!"

This was the first time Jiang Hao had encountered someone livestreaming in the Virtual Combat Space.

Since she dared to say she was doing a practical teaching session on a livestream, she must be very capable, right?

It seemed he should go all out in a moment. Wouldn't it be awkward if he failed to get a One-hit Kill in one move?

"Battle start!"

As soon as the voice fell, the streamer opposite was still looking into the Void Realm and commentating:

"This time the opponent is a Weapon Combat Style Martial Artist with a long saber, which has good compatibility with me. Watch how I control the rhythm of the battle in a moment."

"First of all, Weapon Combat Style Martial Artists like to rush the face at the start, often possessing movement Martial Skills that allow for rapid travel.

Therefore, when fighting a Weapon Combat Style Martial Artist, you must pay attention to the distance between both parties. It's best to randomly move about ten meters to the left or right at the start to avoid the initial linear charge."

As she spoke, Xu Muwan stepped on the arena floor and instantly moved a distance to the right.

Jiang Hao stood in place watching the streamer's "performance" and clapped his hands:

"Well said. Generally, Weapon Combat Style Martial Artists do like to rush the face in a straight line. As long as you dodge left or right first, you're likely to turn a reactive move into a proactive one and master the rhythm!"

"However~" Jiang Hao paused intentionally.

Seeing that her opponent agreed with her theory, Xu Muwan was just about to introduce herself and ask him to give her a follow after the match, when she heard Jiang Hao stop halfway through his sentence to tease her.

"However what?" Xu Muwan asked.

Jiang Hao raised his long saber. Seeing this, Xu Muwan retreated again to pull away the distance.

"However, if others don't cooperate with you, what will you do?" As the words fell...

Dozens of strands of Saber Qi that almost tore the space apart slashed over.

The dense Saber Qi seemed to fill the space, slashing towards Xu Muwan from different angles.

The Saber Qi, which compressed Essence Power and Mental Energy through a special method, looked as if it had caused a Twist in space.

Before being hit, Xu Muwan felt as if she had already been slashed; a piercing pain came from her brain, as if this Saber Qi could sever the Soul.

The light blue net of Saber Qi continuously expanded in the eyes of Xu Muwan and the livestream audience... [Ding! Congratulations to the Host for a One-hit Kill on a Tier-3 opponent, gaining 5 points!]

"Phew~" Jiang Hao let out a long breath.

To show off, Jiang Hao had used almost all of his Essence Power and a large amount of Mental Energy to instantly slash those dozens of times. Each strike could have One-hit Killed a Tier-3 Martial Artist!

The price was that Jiang Hao was now drained.

Although he was very tired, he had to admit that showing off in front of what was likely a large audience...

Felt amazing!

Jiang Hao wasn't worried at all about being targeted in the future. As long as he grew stronger fast enough, he would gain more points from smurfing.

By then, relying on the stat-adding system panel to learn a dozen or so Saint-rank Martial Skills wouldn't be a problem.

Because the physical state is refreshed after every match in virtual combat, Jiang Hao continued his path of dominance... Xu Muwan emerged from the combat pod drenched in sweat. Although the combat System said that all damage received in the Virtual Combat Space would not affect the body itself...

Xu Muwan still felt as if her mind was about to be shredded. The light blue Saber Qi replayed constantly in her head.

Looking at the Light Screen where fans in the livestream room were constantly posting:

"Holy crap! This young man!"

"My mom asked me why I'm watching this on my knees!"

"Mumu, my poor Mumu."

As well as viewers constantly spamming '?' and questioning that the Saber Qi filling the screen just now was definitely not something a low-rank Martial Artist could slash out.

Xu Muwan forced a pale smile:

"Alright everyone, Mumu isn't feeling very well today, let's stream tomorrow." Then, without looking at the audience's bullet chat, she directly closed the livestream room.

Xu Muwan lay on the bed clutching her head. She knew that the matchless saber light was definitely not an ordinary Martial Skill, and she even suspected she had encountered a super 'Martial Arts Second Generation' who had come to experience the thrill of smurfing.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao had set his IP address to hidden, successfully making a female streamer suspect she had encountered a legendary scion of a noble clan.

To improve her entertainment value and attract followers, Xu Muwan had no choice but to start pushing herself harder.

Looking at the friends in her fei xin account, Xu Muwan silently sent a message:

[I Am Not Mumu: Junior, I agree to what you said last time about teaming up to go to the No. 1 Exotic Beast Battlefield. See you on the 25th.]

...Jiang Hao, who had secured a ten-game winning streak, grinned at the 50 points on the system panel. In three more days, once he saved up two hundred points, he could directly Break through to the Third-Tier!

By then, taking the title of the Yunxiao Prefecture Martial Arts Examination Top Scorer wouldn't be much of a problem!

Yunlan City wasn't a large city; the strongest students in previous years were basically at the First-Tier Peak during the National College Entrance Examination, and those at the Second-Tier were as rare as phoenix feathers.

Jiang Hao even doubted if there would necessarily be any Third-Tier students participating in the National College Entrance Examination in the entire Yunxiao Prefecture.

After all, even if one relied on Heaven And Earth Treasures to rise to the Second-Tier Peak, external items were ultimately just aids for breaking through a major Realm.

"Of course, this year there will be one~" Jiang Hao thought smugly.
