Cosmic Professional Gladiator



Pei City, Zhao Nation, one of the seven countries of the Combat Generals World.

A cloth-robed elder stared at Xu Jingming. "Spear Demon?"

"That's me." The black-robed Xu Jingming grinned. "Are you ready to die?"

"I've heard of your reputation. In the past decade or so, you've challenged generals everywhere, but none of them survived your attacks," the elder said seriously.

"Didn't you peak Lv. 8s come to Combat Generals World to pursue stronger training? You have to thank me for the pressure of death I'm giving you." Xu Jingming smiled brightly. "Don't worry. I'll only kill you after 100 moves."

"Unfortunately, I'll kill you in 100 moves!" The killing intent in the elder's eyes suddenly erupted as a terrifying mind and will crushed over.

Xu Jingming didn't flinch despite the impact.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both parties moved almost simultaneously.

This elder was at the limit of Lv. 8 in reality, but in terms of weapon techniques, some Origin lifeforms were incomparable to him. After all, Origin lifeforms had given up on honing their techniques.

Xu Jingming felt the pressure exerted on him by the elder while using 70% of his strength and speed.

The feeling of fighting with a spear is wonderful. Xu Jingming followed his perception of Abyssal Void's figure and condensed his mental strength into the spear, naturally immersing himself in it.

Back on Earth, Xu Jingming had the title of Spear Demon. However, Xu Jingming felt that only the current him was worthy of the title of Spear Demon. Once he used his spearmanship, he would truly be a demon.

97 moves, 98 moves… The cloth-robed elder tried his best. Spear Demon had clearly weakened his strength and speed deliberately, but his spearmanship was too agile and profound—he just couldn't crack it.

When Xu Jingming reached the 101th move, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his spear accelerated.

Just this bit was enough to prevent the old man from blocking further.

The spear penetrated the cloth-robed elder's chest.

"Killing me at the 101th strike? A coincidence?" The elder stared at Xu Jingming. "Is the gap between us that great?"

"You're not bad." Xu Jingming withdrew his spear, and the elder collapsed.

Xu Jingming turned around and went down the mountain.

As he walked on the mountain path, he frowned slightly. Ever since I dealt with Ding Shuo, my mental strength has begun to settle. Fifteen years have passed, but my mental strength is still in the process of condensing and transforming.

Without a legacy, I can only fumble my way forward on the spearmanship path. Xu Jingming also felt the difficulty of not having a legacy. Although he saw Abyssal Void's figure and the finish line, the finish line was that of a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform!

There was a huge gap between a low-dimensional lifeform and a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform. Xu Jingming was excited because he had seen the direction. However, he suffered terribly when he tried.

In the past 15 years, I've finally understood that the high-dimensional path of spearmanship lies first and foremost in the purity of the path! Therefore, the initial mental condensation has to have all the impurities in the mind wiped out for complete purification! Through trial and error, Xu Jingming clarified the first step of cultivation. As for the subsequent second, third, or even more steps?

He had to make repeated mistakes until he found the right path.

Those who had been corrupted by high-dimensional space were a little crazy. They immersed themselves in their madness, and as time passed, they unknowingly gained basic mastery and regained consciousness. However, this was a form of 'passive' comprehension.

The dean of the Primordial Research Institute hoped that Xu Jingming would figure it out while lucid.

The first step on the high-dimensional path of spearmanship is to refine all impurities and purify the mind. Xu Jingming suddenly received a message as he walked on the mountain path. Miaomiao and my daughter are looking for me?

******

In his personal space.

Xu Jingming looked at Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing, who had arrived together.

After Xu Lixing and her mother, Li Miaomiao, appeared, they sat on the sofa opposite Xu Jingming and looked at him seriously.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao stared at her husband. "Are you hiding something from us?"

"Haha, what can happen to me?" Xu Jingming smiled and sat down.

Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing glanced at each other.

"Dad, don't you think that your manner of speech is a little different from before?" Xu Lixing couldn't help but say.

"People naturally have to be open and unrestrained in their lives," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Daughter, I've gained insights into the mind, so I can't be bothered to restrain myself."

"Is that so?" Xu Lixing was puzzled.

"Of course," Xu Jingming replied.

Li Miaomiao asked seriously, "Jingming, didn't you leave the front line of the Void Celestial battlefield? You said back then that you would come back to visit us, but it's been more than ten years, and you haven't returned once. Can you explain yourself? What's the reason for not having any time to return to Earth?"

"That's right, Dad. You said that you wanted to enter seclusion to cultivate, but there's always time for other things, right?" Xu Lixing said.

Xu Jingming felt a headache.

"Forget it. This matter has already been leaked by the Void Celestials, and some of the upper echelons of the human race know about it. The two of you will find out eventually," Xu Jingming said helplessly. "I'd better tell you."

There was no way to hide the matter of him being an experimental subject. The Void Celestial didn't publicize it, but they didn't deliberately keep it a secret. In more than ten years, the news of Xu Jingming becoming a new test subject leaked.

"What happened?" Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing's hearts tightened.

"Although I completely withdrew from the Void Celestial battlefield, I was also attacked by a cosmic legend of the Void Celestials, causing me to be corrupted by high-dimensional powers." Xu Jingming shook his head. "After being corrupted, there's a risk of me losing control. Therefore, I won't return to Earth's civilization or meet you until the risk of losing control is resolved."

"High-dimensional corruption?" The mother-daughter duo panicked.

"Are the consequences serious? Can they be resolved?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"The dean, Eternal Tower Master, and Spacetime Island Lord helped me." Xu Jingming comforted his wife and daughter. "Therefore, I can stay awake and slowly resolve the problem. I'll return after the risk of losing control is resolved."

"Dad, when will it be?" Xu Lixing asked.

"It can't be rushed," Xu Jingming answered with a smile.

He had to truly grasp a trace of high-dimensional power from the Master of the Abyssal Void and become a cosmic legend. Only then could he say that he had gained basic mastery of the path and wasn't worried about losing control.

How long would it take to become a cosmic legend? Could he do it before his wife and daughter reached the end of their lives? Xu Jingming wasn't confident at all.

…

One of the cosmic human race's three advanced civilizations, the Primestar civilization.

Emperor Lunarstar looked at the information in front of him.

What? Junior Brother Wu Ming has been corrupted by high-dimensional powers? He has become another test subject for the Void Celestial, Tutenmu? Lunarstar read the information. Moreover, the Void Celestials are certain that the three Paramount realm humans can't resolve this high-dimensional corruption?

Lunarstar was appalled.

After more than ten years, the upper echelons of the human race gradually learned of the Void Celestial's internal news.

Soon, some powerful Origin lifeforms learned of this news.

…

"Junior Brother, how are you now?" Jane immediately contacted Xu Jingming when he heard the news.

"Don't worry. At the very least, I can stay lucid." Xu Jingming smiled and thought nothing of it.

"Feel free to ask for my help," Jane offered.

"I won't stand on ceremony with you," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Tejano, Redeye, and his other good friends—Yijiu, Sakar, some other friends who he had fought side by side with on the Hellion battlefield, and the team members he had once led on the Void Celestial battlefield—kept contacting Xu Jingming.

Everyone was a little relieved because Xu Jingming appeared very sober and normal.

…

"Gosh? Our so-impressive, number one genius of our human race, Xu Jingming, has been corrupted by high-dimensional powers? He has become a test subject of the Void Celestials?" Lunardo—a high-ranking official of the Primestar civilization—felt delighted when he saw the news.

"Such an important figure meeting his end."

Lunardo had long given up on fighting Xu Jingming. After all, the gap was too great. With Xu Jingming's outstanding talent, his status in the human race wasn't inferior to his brother, the emperor, Lunarstar. He avoided him to the best of his abilities.

However, seeing Xu Jingming suffer a setback didn't stop Lunardo from being happy!

"Hahaha, we have to celebrate today." Lunardo was extremely happy. He was happier than when he embezzled a huge sum of money.

******

Xu Jingming had long guessed that news of him becoming a test subject would spread one day. Everything was within expectations.

The key now is to complete the first step in the high-dimensional spearmanship path: Mental Purification! Xu Jingming focused on Combat Generals World. As long as his mind was still condensing and transforming, he would naturally continue.

Years passed.

The Combat Generals World was a virtual world that was open to the entire cosmic human race after all. It had a massive number of Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms registering! Even though many peak Lv. 8s didn't go online much, they couldn't help but take the initiative to fight Spear Demon when they heard that he was invincible.

Peak Lv. 8 players didn't care about death in-game; they yearned to get something out of it!

Challenging countless combat generals had indeed allowed Xu Jingming to see all kinds of weapon techniques, allowing his spearmanship to continue improving. The impurities in his mind were also constantly being grinded away.

In Battle of the Universe's Apex, one can use a Lv. 8 body and cosmic energy.

In comparison, the Combat Generals World purely competes in technique and mind.

Xu Jingming loved Combat Generals World.

He used countless combat generals in the universe as a grinding stone, but in turn, Xu Jingming became the grinding stone for countless combat generals. He used lower strength, speed, and technique to defeat these combat generals, which stimulated and honed them greatly.

Many combat generals improved because of this.

109 years.

Xu Jingming was outside a roadside tea shop in Combat Generals World. In front of him was the corpse of a fallen general, and Xu Jingming's eyes were filled with deep darkness. I've killed a total of more than three million generals, and I've been immersed in combat almost every day. It's only today that I've finally completed my mental purification.

His mental strength had completely ground away all impurities, leaving only pure darkness. It was absolutely pitch-black like the Master of the Abyssal Void's robe.

Xu Jingming also understood that this was the foundation for his spearmanship.
