At the start of this final, the expectations of his family and friends, even the entire Xia Kingdom's hopes, and his own longing for 'the Martial Arts Championship' since childhood... all made Xu Jingming extremely eager to become world number one! But now that the battle has reached this point, Xu Jingming no longer cares about whether he wins first place.
He was immensely satisfied with the duel. He gained a great deal from it, and was deeply moved by Tia's secret technique, achieving enlightenment and perfecting the Shining Light style!
Tian Ya Nuo is even capable of suppressing his own super genius.
Even a battle against super geniuses like this, just enjoy the fight!
"Boom~~~"
Tian Yao swung his staff with fury, and Xu Jingming nimbly sidestepped the attack, flying backward in a whirl. He crashed into countless broken stones and even part of the remaining intact city wall, causing further collapse.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tia Yan chased relentlessly, each time Xu Jingming had nowhere to run. He was either blasted backward, sent flying, or staggered back dozens of meters...
"Huh?"
After casting the forbidden spell, Tiaano relentlessly pursued Xu Jingming with over ten strikes, but found that he was gradually pushing back less and less as he defended.
"Water, intangible, when following the enemy's momentum, seeking their weak points, can conquer and subdue them." Xu Jingming's marksmanship became increasingly unpredictable. At this moment, he was filled with endless joy. He finally understood the true core of the "Water Style" among the Five Great Techniques.
"The flow of water is towards the place with the greatest attraction and the least resistance."
“The changes in gunplay should also be like this. There is no fixed form! As long as you grasp the core principle of 'Following the enemy's momentum and seeking their weaknesses', your gunplay will have a foundation. I've read countless times in the traditions, but nothing compares to the enlightenment gained in actual combat.” Xu Jingming became increasingly excited. As the old saying goes, "To hear the Way in the morning, death can be considered worthwhile in the evening."
The joy of enlightenment goes far beyond the victory of a competition.
Under the terrifying pressure of Tyano's attack, Xu Jingming continuously blocked and deflected the force, but his understanding of the 'Water Style' became even deeper. Among the five ultimate moves, Huaguang style was the most accomplished, and Shui Style was second only to it. Xu Jingming was also very talented in Shui Style, and he had long since thoroughly integrated the essence of 'Shui Style' into his ordinary gun techniques.
Because of the profound accumulation beforehand, I had reached a bottleneck before achieving "great accomplishment." It was only at this time that I finally had a sudden realization.
I saw that Tia Yano's staff technique was fierce and violent, with terrifying power and incredible speed! But Xu Jingming's gunplay was effortless and natural, seeking the weak points in his opponent's staff movements. When the long spear and staff shadows clashed, he used force dissipation and redirection, only retreating two or three steps each time to neutralize the impact.
"Water-style isn't just a fighting style, it's a philosophy of gunplay." Xu Jingming understood, "The evolution of a gunplay philosophy is the evolution of one's thought process."
Some masters can easily defeat the younger generation's ultimate moves with just some ordinary and simple techniques.
Why? <<<
It's a matter of different levels of thinking.
When should I use which techniques? When should I retreat and when should I advance? From which direction should I release force? Where should I attack?
“The first five tricks of the 'Huiguang' upper scroll, Water Style, already contained ideas of gunmanship. Even today, I have finally realized it and achieved enlightenment!” Xu Jingming was overjoyed. His gunsmanship moves still looked like the same ones. However, against Tyana’s terrifying power and speed, it always felt as if he were striking cotton.”
"What's going on?" Tyano couldn't believe it.
He sensed, vaguely, that Xu Jingming was like flowing water, always changing! Always becoming the most 'restrained' way to counter him.
……
"Who is this Xu Jingming?" Countless people around the globe were watching, including some star beings, but only Pang Ze understood Xu Jingming's state at this moment.
“His marksmanship is no longer just gunnery,” Pang Ze observed, “It’s imbued with a soul, with an inner core. It should be called—Gun Dao! He has attained enlightenment!”
A strange light danced in Pang Ze's eyes.
No matter how brilliant or powerful any technique may be, it is ultimately just a matter of skill.
Only when one comprehends the essence of gunplay will there be a qualitative leap. Even ordinary techniques can be transformed from mundane to miraculous!
"Once he figures out his own gunmanship, he should be able to master 'Beyond Limit' level techniques soon." Pang Ze anticipated.
Comprehending the essence of gunmanship, ordinary techniques can be transformed into something extraordinary. This doesn't mean they only use common techniques; their understanding of techniques runs deeper, allowing them to perceive even more terrifying moves. These techniques are known as "Ultra-Limit" moves.

"What is a hyperspecies level? It means 'beyond the normal limits,' a level that ordinary planetary life geniuses can't reach."
"Could it be that even Blue Star will have a Super Limit-Class genius now?" Pang Ze thought.
……
Xu Jingming fought against Tiyano. Despite Tiyano's greater strength, speed, and agility, Xu Jingming was slightly disadvantaged, but he had clearly stabilized the situation.
"What the heck?"
Xu Jingming was enjoying the battle, while Tia Nuo couldn't accept it, "I used a forbidden technique, and he still blocked it?"
"Die!" Tyana's staff technique shifted, transforming in an instant into a writhing mass of serpents that filled the air, bearing down on Xu Jingming.
This is the Heavenly Python Sequence, one of the three great secret techniques!
Even under the Forbidden Art's effects, she still unleashed her secret techniques! Tyana felt like she was being shameless, bullying this newly-crowned first genius of their civilization. But she thought losing would be even more embarrassing! At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else.
"Hmm?" Xu Jingming's long spear moved, he had parried all three secret techniques before, so he was prepared.
Upon seeing the ‘Serpent of Heaven’ move, Xu Jingming turned his spear naturally and struck the image of the staff.
Although the technique used was 'Huaguang Style', it was as yin and yielding as water.
Puf! Bang! Boom!
Every time it's a spear thrust! But sometimes it's as smooth and yielding as water, sometimes explosive, sometimes fierce, and sometimes swift as a venomous snake…… Different gun techniques, yet the same gunfighting ideology. Xu Jingming's 'flow of water' idea integrated into Huaguang style, causing Huaguang style to undergo a complete transformation.
The other four styles can be very appropriately integrated with the Hualing style.
When to use gun skills? Everything is in one heart.
The style of borrowing force to build momentum has become increasingly natural.
“What?” Tyano had encountered the Thirty-Six Strikes of Huaguang before, but this time with the Water Flowing sword style incorporated into it, she felt a world of difference. The intervals between each strike no longer pursued being as short as possible, but were occasionally extremely brief and occasionally slower, all depending on Tyano’s movements flowing naturally.
Thus, the tactic of using borrowed strength becomes more smooth.
One move after another, like monstrous waves crashing down! The power becomes increasingly terrifying.
The Thirty-sixth Gun! It was even more terrifying than before. Tia No, maintaining the forbidden spell state, cast the Heavenly Python Sequence and could still withstand it.
But the thirty-seventh shot, the thirty-eighth shot, the thirty-ninth shot!
Three more shots followed, increasingly terrifying.
The final thirty-ninth shot, with its explosive force, also carried the charm of a fire's eruption. At this moment, Xu Jingming clearly understood it was the ultimate outburst, borrowing strength and accumulating all his power to unleash it completely at this very instant, a single shot like a flare! The air roared and exploded!
Flames had already pierced through Tyrano's chest.
Tyrano's chest was ripped open, his body beginning to fade into nothingness.
He looked at Xu Jingming, his eyes complex, with the expression of someone who had seen a ghost: "Super-limit level? I met a super-limit level?"
"Thank you," Xu Jingming said, watching the gradually fading Tia Yano, his voice filled with gratitude.
Yes.
Overlimit!
The first part of the transmission in <"Huaguang">also records "super-limit level".
The Thirty-Six Consecutive Strikes of Hua Guang is the normal limit for planetary life. Reaching this level makes one nearly invincible against opponents of the same level. To surpass this limit, it would be ten or a hundred times more difficult! One must possess their own martial philosophy and implement it thoroughly to have a chance to break through this limit. The techniques displayed beyond this limit are called "Super-Limit" techniques.
Such a genius, among the numerous civilizations in the universe, is also known as a super-limit level genius!
I have to thank Tiyano for my breakthrough! Tiyano's three secret techniques brought me great rewards. The extreme pressure Tiyano brought allowed me to realize the Gun Dao philosophy and display moves beyond limits!
At this moment——
Xu Jingming's ears rang with the virtual world's prompt sound——
"Xu Jingming, your Huahong Gun Technique has broken through to the fifth stage by 50%, automatically obtaining the evolution method of the Starry Sky Life Stage."
