Cosmic Professional Gladiator

Although Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were very worried, they knew that they could only abide by the orders of the human race.

They didn't log into the virtual world again and spent time with Xu Jingming.

"The Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector is close to the Hellions, so we are often attacked." Xu Jingming sat in the courtyard and chatted with his daughter. "Almost every habitable planet in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector might be attacked. Once Hellion Origin lifeforms appear, it will be a calamity for those habitable planets."

"Almost every habitable planet?" Xu Lixing's expression changed slightly. "Is it that serious?"

"A cosmic sector is very vast and has countless planets, so the lucky ones might only encounter an attack once every 100,000 years! As for the habitable planets near the front lines, they encounter an attack every few centuries on average," Xu Jingming said.

Xu Lixing was still worried. "There's almost no hope of escaping a Hellion Origin lifeform's attack, right?"

"Yeah." Xu Jingming nodded.

Even if there were human-like Origin lifeforms, it was usually very difficult to protect everyone on the habitable planet. The arrival of an enemy attack… was an apocalyptic calamity for the inhabitants!

"How terrifying," Xu Lixing muttered.

"Hunter Cosmic Sector is deep within the human dominion, and it rarely experiences war. However, some cosmic sectors at the borders have always been in conflict with the aliens," Xu Jingming said. "My deployment there is to kill Hellion Origin lifeforms. The number of Hellion powerhouses is limited, so it's understandable they will become afraid when they suffer heavy losses of their powerhouses. That will result in fewer attacks."

Xu Lixing looked at her father and asked softly, "Dad, are you sure you can be safe?"

"Hahaha…" Xu Jingming laughed. "Look at who your father is. Your father is at present the fastest genius in the cosmic human race to become an Origin lifeform! Of course, the Primordial Research Institute will give me powerful technological weapons."

Xu Lixing nodded. "Dad, no matter how powerful the weapon is, you have to be careful."

Xu Jingming could sense his daughter's concern.

"Food's ready," Li Miaomiao shouted from the dining room.

"Let's go." The father-daughter duo got up.

Li Miaomiao had personally cooked dinner.

…

Night.

Li Miaomiao lay in Xu Jingming's arms and was silent for a long time. "Jingming, I'm a little uneasy."

"There are always different stages in life. As an Origin lifeform, I have to step into a new stage," Xu Jingming comforted. "Miaomiao, you have to learn to grow too; you also have to manage the Pearwood Group. This is also a new stage for you."

"Yeah." Li Miaomiao replied softly, "I'll definitely manage the Pearwood Group well."

The couple enjoyed the rare time they had together. In the future, they would be spending time together in the virtual world.

As for the next time they met in reality? It would be countless years later.

…

At noon the next day.

Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Xu Hong and his wife, Li Chen'an and his wife, Grandpa Xu, and the others gathered to send Xu Jingming off.

"Contact me anytime in the virtual world if you need anything," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "I'm always online."

"We won't be by your side when you are out there." Mrs. Xu instructed, "You have to take care of yourself."

"Alright, Mom." Xu Jingming smiled at his mother.

Grandpa Xu walked over and patted his grandson on the shoulder, saying, "Grandson, be more wretched on the battlefield. Don't be rash! Only by surviving can you be of use. Won't your value be ten or a hundred times greater than now if you live to become a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform or a cosmic legend?"

"Got it, Grandpa." Xu Jingming nodded. "I definitely won't be rash."

Xu Lixing rushed over and hugged him tightly without saying a word.

"It's time to go." Xu Jingming let go of his daughter.

He looked at his family and smiled. "The next time we meet, I might be a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. I'll be going!"

With that said, he disappeared.

The family watched in a daze. He disappeared just like that?

"The battlefield," Xu Hong murmured to himself. He had lived in a peaceful era since he was a child and had never experienced war. He never expected his son to step into a battlefield after they ushered in the cosmic era.

"Our son is the best," Mrs. Xu said beside him. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that her son could survive the alien battlefield safely.

******

Xu Jingming stood in space and looked at the beautiful blue planet in front of him. I'm leaving.

Xu Jingming then began long-distance teleportation.

Although the Primordial Research Institute had equipped him with an ordinary standard spaceship, Xu Jingming was one of the few people in the Primordial Research Institute who had Primordial Battle Armor #9… The distance the battle armor was capable of traversing was above that of the spaceship.

My understanding of the spacetime wormhole model has deepened over the past few days, allowing me to better utilize the Primordial Battle Armor's spatial teleportation function. The maximum distance I can travel is 290 million light-years. Xu Jingming felt space distort around him as he carried out a warp. When the surrounding spacetime stabilized, he had already left the Oohook Star Alliance and arrived in a dark area.

The Primordial Battle Armor lives up to its reputation of being best at escaping. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. According to Secretary General Blacksky, Deputy Dean Redmond's Primordial Battle Armor #1 was inferior to #9 in terms of escaping and survival. What I need to do is try my best to unleash its might.

Hu!

Hu!

Hu!

Xu Jingming teleported repeatedly. He just needed to pause to confirm that the general area he landed in wasn't fatal.

He wore Primordial Battle Armor #9 and could even act like he was walking on flat ground if he landed in a black hole. There were very few places that could pose any danger to him, and it was very easy to avoid them.

Starting up and launching a spaceship to carry out warp travel takes time! It needs a significant period of time to cool down after each warp.

The Primordial Battle Armor can do instant teleportation. It just needs a few seconds for the surrounding spacetime to be stabilized before teleporting again. The efficiency is much higher.

Xu Jingming traversed countless galaxies, endless dark regions, and cosmic sectors as an individual.

I've arrived.

Xu Jingming's cosmic teleportation speed was superior to 99% of Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms. In just ten minutes or so, he arrived at his destination—Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector's Ansu Star Alliance.

The Ansu Star Alliance has a maximum diameter of 830 million light-years. I'll choose an habitable planet in the central region. Xu Jingming traversed space twice and saw an aqua-blue habitable planet.

This is it. Planet Jishui. With a thought, Xu Jingming rented a residence on Planet Jishui through the virtual world for ten years.

…

Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, Ansu Star Alliance, Planet Jishui.

This was an ordinary habitable planet with a population of more than three billion. The noble district was located in the most prosperous area of the planet, and it had a population of more than a hundred million. Almost all the nobles were gathered here.

In the evening, the sky turned red from the sunset.

This is it.

Xu Jingming wore a light-gray, tight-fitting robe—this was also traditional Jishui attire. When Xu Jingming landed on the planet, he swept his gaze across the clothes of countless people on the planet and made himself change slightly.

At the edge of the noble district, he arrived in front of a villa. The villa door automatically opened, and a smart bot welcomed him.

"Lord Ming, welcome to Block 1033 of the North Wing Group. I'll be at your service for the next ten years." The smart bot was humble and polite.

Xu Jingming nodded and walked in.

After touring the residence, he leisurely walked out and strolled around. After all, he would be settling down here on his deployment to the Ansu Star Alliance to familiarize; he needed to familiarize himself with his residence.

He immediately saw a sword gallery facing the street in the distance. The main entrance of the sword gallery had a name.

Four Seasons Sword Gallery. Xu Jingming nodded gently.

The Hellion Origin lifeforms attack and plunder all kinds of resources. They also focus on plundering virtual mainframes. Xu Jingming knew this. Hellion technology is far inferior to us humans. Although they can construct virtual mainframes, the cost is dozens of times higher. As for buying it? The price of a virtual mainframe when sold to aliens… is at least ten times higher.

Therefore, 99% of the habitable planets in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector don't have virtual mainframes.

Ordinary planetary lifeforms don't dare to learn genetic evolutionary methods directly, afraid that they might suffer a genetic collapse. Therefore, they have to learn some simplified training methods. Xu Jingming was aware of these.

With the virtual mainframe, one could directly attempt the evolutionary method in the virtual world and attempt it repeatedly until they succeeded.

Without virtual mainframes? They had to learn simplified methods and take it step by step from the easy to the difficult until they finally grasped the evolutionary method.

Even if it's simplified, and even if it's divided into several steps for gradual improvement, there are still many failures. Those who fail will be injured at best, with the worst being death. Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

Therefore, most planetary lifeforms in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector have to risk their lives to evolve early on.

As for the schools that teach simplified training methods, they are everywhere. They even form many different schools of thought.

After all, many people researched the simplified evolutionary methods, including Origin lifeforms. Over time, many schools naturally formed.

Four Seasons Sword Sect…

It was a rather famous school. Many habitable planets in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector had a Four Seasons Sword Gallery.

"I'll get some of your restaurant's signature dishes." Xu Jingming arrived at a nearby restaurant and got the waiter to prepare food for him before sitting in a corner and waiting.

Soon, food and alcohol were served.

Xu Jingming ate and drank the food.

Not bad. Xu Jingming was rather surprised. At this moment, he saw a youth carrying a sword bag walk out of the Four Seasons Sword Gallery in the distance.

Huh? Xu Jingming took a look. This youth is probably 15 or 16 years old, but he has already grasped a complete evolutionary method?

Qiu Qingke carried his sword bag and was still in thought. I'm still in debt of 900,000, but it's worth it to use the virtual chamber for my final step in grasping the complete evolutionary method.

It costs one million to use the virtual chamber for an hour. How expensive, the youth thought to himself. Fatty failed to grasp the evolutionary method despite using the virtual chamber for more than 100 hours. I only rented it twice before succeeding. Unfortunately, I'm poor.

Dad, Mom, the two of you sure are carefree. You sold your house, bought two cosmic travel tickets, and left without a care for your son. The youth carried his sword bag and headed for Fatty's house. I have to be Fatty's sparring partner! Fatty's father is really generous with the money.

The youth suddenly glanced at a customer in a restaurant by the street. It was a man in a light-gray robe; he was looking at him.

Their gazes collided.

The light-gray-robed man nodded slightly.

Who's this man? I don't see him despite passing by every day. Could he be from the Sin Group? I heard from Master that the Sin Group will capture people to participate in dark life-and-death competitions, Qiu Qingke thought to himself before hastily walking away.

This kid is afraid of me? Xu Jingming was slightly puzzled. I restrained my aura very well; I'm just an ordinary person.

He lowered his head and finished his food and wine in two or three mouthfuls before paying and leaving.

It's time to practice using the Primordial Battle Armor.

Whoosh.

Walking on the street, Xu Jingming silently disappeared. Jishui's surveillance system didn't detect anything amiss.

…

Dozens of light-years away from Jishui.

I have to study the many functions of Primordial Battle Armor #9 so that I can unleash greater combat strength when fighting Hellion Origin lifeforms. Xu Jingming had previously patiently studied the spacetime wormhole model, but after receiving the transfer orders, his goal was to 'increase his combat strength.'

I'm sufficiently good at escaping—this is the greatest advantage of Primordial Battle Armor #9. Its effects show from just spending some effort. Killing the enemy requires more effort.

Xu Jingming stood in space and began experimenting.
