Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 27 Laying the Foundation in the World of Duels
In the Zhao Kingdom, one of the seven kingdoms of the Battle Generals World, a commoner elder named Zhu Qingshan stared at Xu Jingming. "Gun Devil?"
"That's me." Xu Jingming, clad in a black robe, grinned. "Ready to die?"
"I've heard of your reputation. In the past decade or so, you've challenged battle generals everywhere, and none have survived your hands," the elder said solemnly.
"Aren't you eighth-order limits in the Battle Generals World pursuing stronger tempering? I'm giving you the pressure of death; you should thank me," Xu Jingming said with a bright smile.
"Rest assured, I will only kill you after a hundred moves!"
"Unfortunately, I will kill you within a hundred moves!" The elder's eyes suddenly erupted with killing intent, and a terrifying mental will crushed over, impacting Xu Jingming, but his expression didn't change in the slightest.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two moved almost simultaneously. This elder was an eighth-order limit in reality, but in terms of weapon skills alone, even Origin Lifeforms might not be able to match him.
After all, Origin Lifeforms had abandoned the honing of skills. Xu Jingming used 70% of his strength and speed, and he could feel the pressure brought by the elder. The feeling of spear combat was truly wonderful. Xu Jingming followed his perception of the Void Abyss figure, and his mental strength condensed on the spear, naturally immersing himself in it.
When he was on Earth, Xu Jingming had the title of Gun Devil, but Xu Jingming felt that he deserved the title now. Once he used his spear techniques, he was truly in a demonic state.
Ninety-seven moves, ninety-eight moves… The commoner elder tried his best. The Gun Devil's strength and speed were obviously deliberately weakened, but his spear techniques were too agile and profound, and he couldn't break them.
When Xu Jingming reached the hundred and first move, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and the spear's speed was obviously a little faster. That little bit made it impossible for the elder's sword light to block, and the spear pierced through the commoner elder's chest.
"You killed me with the hundred and first move? Is our difference that great?" The elder looked at Xu Jingming.
"You're already not bad." Xu Jingming pulled out his spear, and the elder fell to the ground.
Xu Jingming turned and walked down the mountain road, his brows slightly furrowed. "Starting from when I dealt with Ding Shuo, my mental strength began to condense. Now, fifteen years have passed, and my mental strength is still condensing and transforming. In the process, there is no inherited spear technique path, and I can only explore and advance."
Xu Jingming also felt the difficulty of not having an inheritance. Although he saw the figure of the Void Abyss and saw the end, that was the end of a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform!
From a low-dimensional lifeform to a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform, the distance was unknown. Xu Jingming was excited before because he saw the direction, but he suffered when he actually tried it. In the past fifteen years, I have understood the high-dimensional path of spear techniques.
The first lies in the purity of the path, so the initial mental condensation must grind away all impurities in the mind and completely purify it!
Xu Jingming stumbled and clarified the first step of cultivation. As for the subsequent second, third, and even more steps, he needed to try and make mistakes repeatedly until he found the correct path.
Those who are contaminated by high dimensions, some are crazy and immersed in madness. With the accumulation of time, they unknowingly get started and regain consciousness. But this is a passive comprehension.
The director of the Primordial Research Institute hoped that Xu Jingming would explore and advance soberly. The first step on the high-dimensional path is to refine all impurities and purify the mind. Xu Jingming was walking on the mountain road when he suddenly received a message. “…Miao Miao and my daughter are looking for me?” In his personal space, Xu Jingming looked at Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing, who had arrived together.
Xu Lixing and her mother, Li Miaomiao, appeared and sat on the sofa opposite Xu Jingming, both looking at Xu Jingming solemnly.
"Jingming," Li Miaomiao looked at Xu Jingming, "are you hiding something from us, mother and daughter?"
"Haha, what could I be hiding?" Xu Jingming smiled and sat down.
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing looked at each other. "Dad, don't you think you speak differently now than in the past?" Xu Lixing couldn't help but say.
"Of course, one must live a life openly and happily," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Daughter, your dad has comprehended something in terms of mental strength, so I'm too lazy to restrain myself."
"Is that so?" Xu Lixing asked suspiciously.
"Of course," Xu Jingming said.
Li Miaomiao asked solemnly, "Jingming, didn't you leave the void battlefield front line? You said you would come back to see us, mother and daughter, but it's been more than ten years, and you haven't come back once. Can you explain why? What is the reason that you don't even have a little time to return to Blue Star?"
"Yeah, Dad, you said you were going into closed-door cultivation, but closed-door cultivation has a time limit," Xu Lixing said.
Xu Jingming had a headache. "Forget it, the Void God Clan has already leaked this matter, and some high-level people in the human race already know about it. Eventually, you, mother and daughter, will know about it."
Xu Jingming said helplessly, "I'll tell you."
The matter of being a test subject could not be concealed. The Void God Clan did not deliberately publicize it, but they did not deliberately keep it secret either. After more than ten years, the news that Xu Jingming had become a new test subject was leaked.
"What happened?" Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were both anxious.
"On the Void God Clan battlefield, although I completely withdrew, I was also attacked by a Void God Clan universe legend, which led to me being contaminated by high dimensions," Xu Jingming shook his head. "After being contaminated by high dimensions, I am at risk of losing control, so before solving the risk of losing control, I will not return to Blue Star civilization, nor will I go back to see you."
"High-dimensional contamination?" The mother and daughter panicked. "Is the consequence serious? Can it be solved?" Li Miaomiao asked.
"The Director, the Eternal Tower Master, and the Space-Time Dao Lord are helping me at the same time," Xu Jingming comforted his wife and daughter. "So I can always stay awake and slowly solve the problem. After solving the risk of losing control, I will go back."
"Dad, when will that be?" Xu Lixing asked.
"It can't be rushed," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "We have to truly master a trace of high-dimensional power originating from the Void Abyss Master and enter the universe legend before we can say that we have truly entered the path and don't have to worry about losing control."
When will the universe legend come? Can he do it within the lifespan of his wife and daughter? Xu Jingming had no confidence at all.
…
In the Yuanxing Civilization, one of the three major civilizations of the human race, Emperor Lu Naxing looked at the intelligence in front of him. "What? Junior Brother Wu Ming has been contaminated by high dimensions? He has become another test subject of the Void God Clan's Tu Tiemu?" Lu Naxing looked at the intelligence, "And the Void God Clan is sure that the three supreme realms of the human race can't solve this high-dimensional pollution?"
Lu Naxing was shocked. After more than ten years, the Void God Clan's internal news gradually became known to the lower levels of the human race, and soon some powerful Origin Lifeforms also knew the news. “…Junior Brother, how are you now?” Senior Brother Jian immediately contacted Xu Jingming after learning the news.
"Don't worry, at least I can stay awake," Xu Jingming said with a smile, not taking it seriously at all.
"If there's anything I can help you with, just say it," Senior Brother Jian said.
"I won't be polite with Senior Brother Jian," Xu Jingming said with a smile. Tiya Nuo, Chishui, and a group of friends, Senior Brother Yijiu, Senior Brother Saka, and some good friends who lived and died together on the Prison Clan battlefield, as well as a group of team members who once led the Void God Clan battlefield, contacted Xu Jingming one after another.
Everyone was also slightly relieved because Xu Jingming looked very awake and normal.
"Ya ya ya? This amazing, our human race's contemporary first genius Xu Jingming has been contaminated by high dimensions? He has become a test subject of the Void God Clan?" Lu Naduo, a high-ranking official of the Yuanxing Civilization, felt ecstatic when he saw the news. So, such a big figure has this day too.
Lu Naduo had long since given up the idea of fighting with Xu Jingming. After all, the gap was too big. Xu Jingming's extraordinary talent gave him a status in the human race no less than that of his brother, Emperor Lu Naxing.
He couldn't avoid him fast enough, but seeing Xu Jingming suffer a setback didn't stop Lu Naduo from being happy!
"Hahaha, I must celebrate well today!" Lu Naduo was extremely happy, even more happy than when he had just embezzled a huge sum of money.
Xu Jingming had long guessed that the matter of the test subject would eventually spread. Everything was expected. The key now was to complete the first step of the high-dimensional path of spear techniques: mental purification!
Xu Jingming was wholeheartedly immersed in the Battle Generals World. As long as his mental strength was still condensing and transforming, he would naturally continue.
Time passed year by year. The Battle Generals World was, after all, a virtual world facing the entire universe's human race, with a massive number of eighth-order Star Sky Lifeforms. Even though many eighth-order limits didn't go online much anymore, when they heard that there was a Gun Devil who was invincible, they couldn't help but go online and take the initiative to fight the Gun Devil.
Eighth-order limit players didn't care about death in the game; they were more eager to gain something!
Challenging countless battle generals did allow Xu Jingming to see a wide variety of weapon techniques, allowing his spear techniques to continue to improve in the tempering, and the impurities in his mind were also constantly being ground away.
The peak battle of the universe could use eighth-order bodies and cosmic energy. Compared to that, the Battle Generals World was a pure contest of skills and mental strength.
Xu Jingming liked the Battle Generals World very much. He used countless battle generals in the universe as whetstones, but conversely, Xu Jingming also became a whetstone for countless battle generals. He used weaker strength and speed to defeat these battle generals in terms of skills, which also greatly stimulated and tempered these battle generals, and many battle generals made progress as a result.
One hundred and nine years later, Xu Jingming was outside a roadside teahouse in the Battle Generals World. In front of him was the corpse of a fallen battle general. There was a deep darkness in Xu Jingming's eyes. "I have killed a total of more than 3 million battle generals. I have been immersed in battle almost every day, and finally, today, I have completed mental purification."
His mental strength had completely ground away all impurities, leaving only pure darkness, as absolutely black as the Void Abyss Master's robe. Xu Jingming also understood that he had finally laid the foundation for the path of spear techniques.
