Cosmic Professional Gladiator

560 In Hand

Black Iron.

Xu Jingming still lived with Senior Brothers Jane and Yijiu. Although he had been deployed to the other two cosmic sectors, he spent most of his time in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector. After all, this was the area the Primordial Research Institute was in charge of guarding.

“Based on the time, Eternal Academy has already begun the credit exchange.” Xu Jingming, Jane, and Yijiu sat there drinking and chatting.

“Junior Brother, it’s been only about a hundred years since you became an Origin lifeform,” Jane said. “This is the first time you’re doing a credit exchange, right?”

“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“It’s definitely a little troublesome to get the help from someone in Eternal Academy,” Yijiu said with a smile. “When our Primordial Research Institute opens up the exchange, you will probably be ranked in the top ten with the credits you accumulated. You will be able to exchange for what you want.”

Xu Jingming said, “I got Senior Brother Sakar’s help. It didn’t take much effort before the matter was settled.”

“There are only 300 items in the credit exchange.” Jane sighed. “Some of the items are plentiful. There are only about 100 kinds that are truly attractive, and there are only a few hundred of them each.”

“There may be hundreds available, but there are more than 10,000 Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms competing for them! Most of them will be snatched by those ranked in the top 100. A small number will randomly land in the hands of the lucky ones,” Jane said. “It’s indeed not easy to acquire resources on the evolutionary path.”

Yijiu drank and remarked indifferently, “There are tens of thousands of Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms in every era! And many high-dimensional items can only be provided by the three Paramounts. It isn’t easy for them to provide this much.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “The three Paramounts have indeed sacrificed a lot for the entire human race.”

They had to think of a way to deal with the Paramount aliens, acquire high-dimensional items for generations of juniors, as well as spend some effort grooming them. If an Origin lifeform died in battle, they had to revive them! Without the ability to resurrect, how could they have persisted in the war against the Void Celestials and other alien species at the border to this very day?

Now, the cosmic human race was quite stable and was developing normally. It was thanks to the three Paramounts.

“As long as a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform is willing to pay a premium by spending all their credit, they can still obtain the treasures they want,” Yijiu said. “But even if they obtain resources, how many of them can use high-dimensional powers? How many of them can become cosmic legends?”

“Compared to them…” Yijiu looked at Xu Jingming. “Junior Brother Wu Ming, your talent is much higher. As a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform, your mental strength reached Lv. 8 visualization, and you reached Lv. 10 in about a century. This can’t be done through external help. In just a hundred years, you have knowledge no less than a Lv. 10.”

As they lived together, they could sense how monstrous Xu Jingming was.

As expected of a peerless genius ranked 35th in the history of cosmic humans.

“Senior Brother Yijiu, your praise does stroke my ego. If I end up failing to become a cosmic legend, I’ll be blaming it on you,” Xu Jingming commented.

“You can’t blame me! In history, many geniuses who cultivated faster than you didn’t become cosmic legends,” Yijiu said immediately.

Jane drank and looked at the cosmos. He also had ambitions.

As the number one person in the current generation for the Mirror Domain lineage, he was only a step away from high-dimensional.

This line was the difference between low-dimensional and high-dimensional.

“The step to becoming a cosmic legend is a quantum leap in thought. It changes the way we think,” Jane said.

“Mental strength is intangible. With clear guidance from visualizing the Primordial Star, it’s relatively easy to reach high-dimensional,” Yijiu said. “Next is the leap in thought and realm.”

“Last is the leap as a lifeform,” Yijiu continued. “One can become a high-dimensional lifeform after taking these three steps.”

Xu Jingming fell silent, his eyes filled with desire.

Every Origin lifeform yearned to become a high-dimensional lifeform!

“The exchange has ended?” Xu Jingming suddenly received a message.

…

Virtual world, Xu Jingming’s personal space.

The short and fat bald elder—Mr. Lancel—and the red-skinned, stocky Senior Brother Sakar came to Xu Jingming. Xu Jingming had already prepared fine wine to welcome his two friends.

“The exchange is over.” Mr. Lancel sat down and said, “The Heavenly Python Scale you wanted has been successfully exchanged.”

“The exchange for Spirit Cleansing Water and the Guardian was also successful,” Sakar said with a smile.

“Thank you, Mr. Lancel. Thank you, Senior Brother Sakar.” Xu Jingming was very grateful.

“Successful exchanges require a recipient and address,” Mr. Lancel said. “Where should the Heavenly Python Scale be delivered? Will it be stored at the Primordial Research Institute headquarters or elsewhere?”

Many Origin lifeforms stored some precious items at the headquarters of top factions. This way, they wouldn’t be worried about losing their treasures even if they died in battle.

They just needed to go to headquarters when they needed to study the high-dimensional items.

In fact, most Origin lifeforms on the battlefield didn’t carry precious treasures. For example, the spoils of war Xu Jingming obtained from killing a Lv. 9 Hellion were usually about 20 trillion cosmic dollars. This was because the Hellion Overlords’ precious items weren’t brought to the battlefield.

“Senior Brother Sakar, the Guardian will be sent straight to Earth, the home planet of Earth’s civilization in the Oohook Star Alliance. The recipient will be my wife, Li Miaomiao,” Xu Jingming said. “As for the Heavenly Python Scale and the Spirit Cleansing Water, send them to me. I’ll give you the address in a while.”

Lancel and Sakar nodded.

Xu Jingming still had to carry the Heavenly Python Scale and the Spirit Cleansing Water with him. He wasn’t worried about losing them because losing Primordial Battle Armor #9 was worth the most.

He wouldn’t give the enemy a chance to snatch the treasure. He even fled when he discovered powerful enemies; he had no intention of fighting.

He had no choice but to have the Heavenly Python Scale on him! The other Origin lifeforms still had time to return to the hinterland to rest. Xu Jingming greatly impacted the Hellion battlefield; he was almost always at the front line!

******

Earth.

At Xu Jingming’s house, Li Miaomiao and her daughter, Xu Lixing, were already at home.

“According to the time Dad provided, the Guardian should arrive in the next hour.” Xu Lixing waited nervously while Li Miaomiao slowly drank a cup of tea in the living room.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.

The mother-daughter duo immediately headed for the courtyard.

This figure was a woman with short silver hair. She looked at Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing. “Greetings Earth civilization’s Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing, I’m Guardian 30972.”

Buzz.

A projection shot out from Li Miaomiao’s wrist and enveloped the silver-haired woman. The silver-haired woman’s eyes also emitted light that fused into the projection.

“Virtual world network has confirmed that the ownership of Guardian 30972 belongs to Li Miaomiao.” The virtual world network’s voice sounded in confirmation.

“Greetings, Master.” The silver-haired woman looked at Li Miaomiao with a much more respectful gaze. “Guardian 30972 has the basic destructive power of a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform and is best at defense. There are six kinds of defense: Spacetime Travel and Possession…”

Li Miaomiao smiled and said, “There’s no rush. Let’s talk inside.”

The corners of the silver-haired woman’s mouth curled up slightly as she smiled. “Yes, Master.”

Xu Lixing watched excitedly from the side. Although the Pearwood Group’s assets were massive, it was the result of absorbing the Tenebrous Thunder family’s five corporations in the Hunter Cosmic Sector. Even if they wanted to purchase a Civilization-level smart bot worth ten trillion cosmic dollars, the Pearwood Group would find it difficult to have that much liquidity. After all, most of the Pearwood Group’s assets were fixed.

Civilization-level smart bots are worth more than an ordinary galaxy, Xu Lixing thought to herself. Dad is really impressive. He bought one just like that.

…

Xu Jingming arrived at an habitable planet and waited for Eternal Academy to deliver the goods.

The Guardian has arrived on Earth? Xu Jingming received a message from his wife and daughter.

My ability is limited, so I can only arrange for a Civilization-level smart bot for my family and Earth, Xu Jingming thought to himself. For example, Deputy Dean Redmond arranged three Silver-Shirted Envoys and 300 Yellow-Shirted Envoys for Tejano.

Even Earth’s civilization only has the Milky Way as its territory for the time being, Xu Jingming thought.

The Hunter Cosmic Sector was deep in the cosmic human dominion, and it wasn’t affected by the war. Therefore, slightly better places were developed, giving birth to the proliferation of civilizations! For example, the Milky Way back then was only prepared for Earth by the Oohook Star Alliance after they paid a huge price for the mass migrations.

Even though Xu Jingming was rich, it was very difficult for him to expand his territory by a handful of galaxies.

Some civilizations had been rooted in a galaxy for too long. Even if one paid them two to three times the value of a galaxy, they still weren’t willing to move.

Huh? Xu Jingming sensed an existence descending through spacetime.

“Lord Wu Ming.” A winged man in white walked over and bowed slightly. “As the Heavenly Python Scale is too massive, let’s do the handover in space.”

“Okay.” Xu Jingming nodded.

Both parties instantly arrived in space.

The winged man in white first handed Xu Jingming a black bottle. “In the bottle is a drop of Spirit Cleansing Water.”

Xu Jingming took the bottle.

Upon sensing the Spirit Cleansing Water within the bottle, Xu Jingming’s mental strength was stirred. In a daze, his mental strength seemed to see an endless ocean—an ocean that was wider than the cosmos!

The ocean was calm without any waves. Every drop of water was Spirit Cleansing Water.

Xu Jingming suddenly came to his senses.

I’m seeing the Spirit Cleansing Sea, right? Xu Jingming thought to himself.

The Spirit Cleansing Sea was said to be located in the mysterious and terrifying abyss in high-dimensional space. The Spirit Cleansing Water in the Spirit Cleansing Sea was indeed infinite, but even for the three human Paramounts, collecting Spirit Cleansing Water was very dangerous.

Only the Eternal Tower Master—who focused on studying the abyss—could collect more Spirit Cleansing Water.

Xu Jingming put away the bottle.

“Lord Wu Ming, this is the Heavenly Python Scale.” The winged man in white waved his hand, and an oval dark-gray scale about 12 kilometers long and wide appeared. The moment it appeared, it instinctively terrified Xu Jingming.

The pressure it contained was terrifying. Xu Jingming also understood that this pressure was only a remnant of the high-dimensional Heavenly Python.

“The Heavenly Python Scale has been suppressed and shrunk by the Tower Master—its diameter has been shrunk a thousand times,” the winged man in white said. “This size is more suitable. If it shrinks any further, it won’t be suitable for observation. The Heavenly Python Scale has officially been handed over to you, Lord Wu Ming.”

“Okay.” Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.

The winged man in white nodded and left using Spacetime Travel.

Xu Jingming looked at the scale of the high-dimensional lifeform floating in space. As an Origin lifeform who cultivated Heavenly Python Evolution, he found the scale infinitely attractive, and he couldn’t help but be infatuated.
