Cosmic Professional Gladiator



Xu Jingming, Overlord Feuilla, and the mysterious powerhouse from the third realm emitted formidable auras, causing the Xu family members standing nearby to grow anxious.

"You're Feuilla?" Xu Jingming inquired.

"Yes," Feuilla replied with a smile.

Xu Jingming came to a realization and nodded kindly.

Upon inheriting the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls, Xu Jingming also discovered the existence of a wager.

This wager had been established by two Ultimate beings, possessing unrivaled power and transcending all of spacetime. Due to their conflicts and disagreements, they decided to settle matters through this wager.

As per the terms of the wager, each Ultimate being selected an heir and granted them an Abyssal Era to study the legacy before engaging in a battle. The outcome of the wager would be determined by the victor among the heirs.

While the lives of the two third-realm powerhouses were insignificant, the wager between the Ultimate beings held immense importance.

To ensure the smooth progress of the wager, each Ultimate being appointed a representative to oversee the entire process.

The wager recorded the names of the two witnesses—follower dispatched by the Ultimate existence from the Heart Realm is called Feuilla, Xu Jingming thought to himself. She was tasked with supervising the proceedings and ensuring my unaffected state before the battle.

Feuilla smiled and introduced, "The person beside me is the opponent you're about to face—Red Jade Traveler!"

Red Jade Traveler resembled a figure carved from red jade. He observed Xu Jingming and remarked, "Wu Ming, I have acquired the Ultimate legacy of the Abyss and have spent an entire Abyssal Era studying it. I hope you won't disappoint me in our forthcoming battle."Please visit https://novel-next.com website to read fastest update

Xu Jingming was taken aback. Has he already studied for an entire Abyssal Era? It hasn't been long since I received the legacy!

Feuilla clarified, "Wu Ming, the two of you originate from different spacetimes and follow distinct timelines. He obtained the Ultimate legacy long ago and has already studied for an Abyssal Era. After meeting you, he will head to the battlefield… You, on the other hand, will embark on your Abyssal Era before eventually reaching the battlefield at the same time as him."

Understanding dawned upon Xu Jingming.

"To Overlord Red Jade, the battle will commence momentarily. However, you still have nearly an entire Abyssal Era ahead of you," Feuilla explained. "The terms of the wager ensure that both of you have the same amount of time to study and prepare."

"Wu Ming, between you and me…" Red Jade Traveler calmly gazed at Xu Jingming. "Only one shall survive."

"The victor shall live, and the defeated shall perish. Such is the rule of this wager," Xu Jingming affirmed.

If he were to lose, it would mean that the Ultimate existence supporting him had also lost!

Only one of them could survive, compelling Xu Jingming and Red Jade Traveler to give their all.

"From what I gather, this is the first time your relatives and friends have become aware of the wager," Red Jade Traveler remarked, glancing at Xu Jingming's astonished kinfolk beside him.

He deliberately made his words audible to those present. His intention was to affect the state of mind of Xu Jingming's relatives and friends.

"They would have found out sooner or later." Xu Jingming dismissed the matter. Even if he didn't disclose the wager today, he would have to inform his family in the future.

Red Jade Traveler's gaze swept across spacetime. "None of you possess power in this spacetime. You must surpass these third-realm powerhouses by far, or else you will surely fall to me."

With those words, Red Jade Traveler tore through spacetime and departed.

"Wu Ming," Feather Fire Lord began, "you obtained the legacy I created, the Eight Directions Map, when you were a low-dimensional being. Later, you came to Feather Fire City to learn several other legacies. Our connection runs deep indeed."

"It's all thanks to you that I am where I am today." Xu Jingming nodded, acknowledging the profound bond he shared with Feather Fire Lord.

"We cannot change the circumstances set by the high and mighty Ultimate beings behind this wager, but I can assure you… If you happen to lose the wager, I will help protect your family and species," Feather Fire Lord vowed.

For a third-realm being, protecting a few lives was an easy task.

Xu Jingming felt a surge of gratitude. "Thank you, Feather Fire Lord."

"Wu Ming, safeguarding your family, friends, and species is a small matter. I, too, can offer assistance," Overlord Watercloud chimed in. "However, you must pay attention to fortifying your family's mental resilience early on. A weak mind can easily wither and distort over time."

Overlord Watercloud had experienced this firsthand and had been compelled to put his own relatives into a deep slumber.

"I understand," Xu Jingming said with a furrowed brow. "Unless one's mind and will reach the third realm, they won't be able to endure for long."

"The stronger one's mind and will, the longer they can persevere. If their mental strength matches that of a half-step third-realm being, they can retain clarity for over 100 Abyssal Eras," Overlord Watercloud explained. "That should be sufficient."

Feather Fire Lord added, "Indeed, Wu Ming, your family's minds and wills are too feeble. Unless they are nurtured properly, they might not even withstand a single Abyssal Era."

"I also possess some knowledge in this area. You can consider it as guidance," Overlord Watercloud offered.

"Thank you, Brother Watercloud," Xu Jingming expressed his gratitude.

"Seeing you reminds me of my own past." Overlord Watercloud sighed with a touch of nostalgia. "I, too, journeyed from being a low-dimensional being to attaining the third realm step by step. After reviving my relatives, they relished the lives of high-dimensional beings. I dedicated countless efforts to strengthen their minds and wills, but now all I can do is put them into slumber."

Xu Jingming nodded, understanding the predicament. "Is there no way to completely resolve the corruption of the mind?"

Feather Fire Lord responded promptly, "Of course, there is."

Xu Jingming leaned in attentively, eager to hear more.

"If one's mind and will can match that of a third-realm powerhouse, they will naturally be immune to the ravages of time," Feather Fire Lord explained.

"Align their minds and wills with that of a third-realm powerhouse? It's impossible," Overlord Watercloud interjected, shaking his head.

"Through external means, we cannot achieve such a feat. We cannot alter their minds and wills from the outside," Feather Fire Lord elaborated. "However… an Ultimate being might possess the ability to do so."

Overlord Watercloud nodded thoughtfully. "Perhaps an Ultimate being can accomplish it, but based on the information I've gathered… no Ultimate being has ever intervened to resolve the corruption of the mind. Despite encountering numerous third-realm beings in the Spacetime Arena, I have never heard any mention of such assistance."

Feather Fire Lord fixed his gaze upon Xu Jingming. "Therefore, it would be wise to consider finding a way for your family to improve themselves!"

Deep in contemplation, Xu Jingming finally spoke up. "Overlord Watercloud, you mentioned encountering many third-realm powerhouses in the Spacetime Arena?"

"Oh, it's a game that spans countless lifetimes. Connoisseur was particularly impressive in the Spacetime Arena, and it was through this that he became a follower of an Ultimate being." Overlord Watercloud began to provide a detailed explanation. Xu Jingming, being a newly advanced third-realm powerhouse, had much to learn and understand.

Years passed since Xu Jingming's breakthrough, and he received visits from 19 third-realm powerhouses. These encounters broadened his horizons and granted him insights into the secrets of the third realm.

What surprised Xu Jingming the most was the cheerful conversation between Connoisseur and his grandfather, Grandpa Xu, during one of the visits. Connoisseur even extended an invitation to Grandpa Xu.

"Grandson, Senior Connoisseur has kindly invited me to his place. Shall I accept?" Grandpa Xu inquired.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Connoisseur," Xu Jingming agreed.

The uncertain outcome of the future wager lingered in his mind. However, the burgeoning relationship between his grandfather and Connoisseur brought a sense of solace. Among the 36 third-realm powerhouses in their spacetime, Connoisseur held a uniquely special status. Not only that, he was a follower of an Ultimate being!

If I were to lose in the future, Grandpa's connection with Connoisseur could prove beneficial for our family, Xu Jingming pondered.
