Chapter 1 Edge of the Stellar System

Xu Jingming's personal space training ground was set to the 'edge of the stellar system' scene.

In the dim and silent edge of the stellar system, even the nearest 'star' became incredibly small. Xu Jingming stood on a huge meteorite, repeatedly thrusting the spear in his hand in solitude.

There was no opponent, purely thrusting into the void.

In the silent world, he was the only one. Gathering momentum, thrusting the spear! Gathering momentum again, thrusting the spear again! It was as if he wanted to pierce through the silent cosmic void!

He thrust the spear more than ten thousand times a day, for about eight hours, without interruption unless there was a special reason.

Each time he thrust the spear, Xu Jingming felt his entire being heat up, burning his entire body, mobilizing all his strength, unleashing the fastest and strongest strike! He could even explode continuously, thrusting continuously! One strike after another, to completely kill the enemy!

This feeling of going all out and pursuing the limit of speed fascinated Xu Jingming.

From a young age, he had liked to pursue speed.

Perhaps that was also why he preferred science. Seeing the speed of his spear gradually increase, 15 meters per second, 15.3 meters per second, 15.6 meters per second, 16.1 meters per second... he became even more excited, and training the spear became more fulfilling.

The emergence of 'Evolution Methods' and the opening of the virtual world allowed Xu Jingming to see more possibilities. His spear technique speed had now broken the sound barrier.

Possessing the cosmic legend 'Xuan' made Xu Jingming understand just how fast a spear could be!

If 'Starry Sky Spear Technique' represented Xu Jingming's calm state, practicing every move to make the spear technique more mature and perfect, then 'Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique' was the state of passionate burning, burning everything within himself, pursuing only the fastest spear!

"Swish." A figure arrived at the personal space training ground. It was Li Miaomiao.

"Jingming," Li Miaomiao immediately said, "The fourth level of the Starry Sky Rankings has appeared. Master Liu Hai has successfully passed the fourth level."

Xu Jingming stopped his spear technique. "Master passed the fourth level?"

"Yes, just now." Li Miaomiao nodded. "The entire internet is boiling, countless streamer rooms, and even the networks of other countries are talking about this. As the world's first expert to pass the third level of the Starry Sky Tower, and now the world's first to pass the fourth level, the impact is too great."

"Master is indeed Master." Xu Jingming smiled. "He didn't participate in a single global exchange, but with one move, he shocked the world. This is more convincing than any battle."

"Yeah." Li Miaomiao nodded. "Now the whole internet is saying that Liu Hai is indeed Liu Hai, and truly the number one in the world. They are all guessing... how much stronger Master Liu Hai is than you."

"The current Master is stronger than me." Xu Jingming nodded. "I'm going to try the fourth level of the Starry Sky Tower again now."

"Okay." Li Miaomiao nodded.

With a gentle tap, the stellar system edge scene dissipated, restoring the original scene of green mountains and clear waters in a canyon, which was also the original scene of the training ground.

"I'll go to the Starry Sky Tower first." Xu Jingming left immediately. Li Miaomiao didn't leave either, waiting in the training ground, while also opening the viewing platform and watching the various streaming rooms.

Now everyone was in an uproar, and the entire Xia country was in a frenzy. After all, Liu Hai had never participated in global exchanges, and the outside world was questioning his strength. This one move stunned the world.

A moment later.

"Phew." Xu Jingming returned to the canyon.

"How was it?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"I'm evenly matched with the Ape King, but its physique is stronger than mine, and it can withstand more." Xu Jingming frowned. "Although I seriously injured it, it still killed me first."

Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique was a double-edged sword.

It was exceptionally strong in terms of offense! But it was much weaker in terms of defense. Its 'defense' was also a thrust! It used offense to replace 'defense'. Therefore, Xu Jingming needed to rely on the Starry Sky Spear Technique for defense, but the realm of the Starry Sky Spear Technique was relatively lower.

"The improvement of spear techniques cannot be improved in a short time, it requires slow accumulation and training." Xu Jingming looked at his personal combat power panel and said, "I'll practice the Evolution Method."

Li Miaomiao sat beside him, watching Xu Jingming practice the Heavenly Python Evolution Method.

Xu Jingming had not deliberately practiced the Evolution Method before! He only practiced it a few times a day normally, spending most of his time practicing spear and shield techniques. For example, the Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique took about eight hours a day, plus eight hours of refining the mind, plus Starry Sky Spear Technique and shield techniques. With the remaining time, he also had to spend time with his family, so he really couldn't spend too much time practicing the Evolution Method.

Because as the degree of control over the body increased, the Evolution Method would naturally slowly improve.

If the degree of control over the body was not enough? It was useless to practice the Evolution Method again!

This time...

Xu Jingming practiced earnestly again and again, pursuing the limit of the Evolution Method that he could reach at this stage.

Li Miaomiao watched from the side, also opening the viewing platform to understand the situation outside.

"Hmm?"

Li Miaomiao looked at one of the streaming rooms, gently clicked on it, and limited the sound so that only she could hear it, so as not to disturb Xu Jingming, who was practicing the Evolution Method at the moment.

In that streaming room, a streamer was exclaiming, "Just 1 hour and 18 minutes after Liu Hai passed the fourth level of the Starry Sky Tower, Tiano * Sierre, this peerless genius from the small South African country of Botswana, also passed the fourth level of the Starry Sky Tower, and is now ranked second in the world."

Next to it was a screenshot of the Starry Sky Rankings (Fourth Level), clearly written.

Starry Sky Rankings (Fourth Level) –

Global First: Liu Hai (Xia Country)

Global Second: Tiano * Sierre (Botswana)

"Tiano * Sierre was previously hailed as the world's number one genius." The streamer exclaimed, "Because he also passed the third level of the Starry Sky Tower very quickly, and was the fourth in the world at that time. And the three people in front of him at that time were all from the older generation, but he was only twenty years old! He didn't even have any professional fighting experience. After the virtual world opened, he rose rapidly."

"Last time he was still fourth in the world, but now he is second in the world! And he was only a little over an hour later than Liu Hai, obviously their strengths are comparable."

"Tiano is just a citizen of Botswana, a small country in South Africa. He is only twenty years old and has such achievements. The world's number one genius, well deserved." The streamer exclaimed, "No wonder Liu Hai and Tiano didn't make global exchange appointments. Maybe they both felt that the other players were too weak."

"I'm also guessing how much Xu Jingming's strength differs from these two." The streamer wondered.

Li Miaomiao closed this livestream, and then opened other livestreams one by one to watch. After watching for a long time, she closed the viewing platform.

She looked at Xu Jingming at this moment.

Xu Jingming was earnestly practicing the Heavenly Python Evolution Method. Hot waves rolled, the air was distorted, Xu Jingming's movements while practicing the Evolution Method were obviously quite loud. He practiced it over and over again, and finally... he stopped.

Xu Jingming slowly exhaled, and the surrounding air temperature slowly returned to normal.

"The Evolution Method is the limit I can reach in a short time." Xu Jingming said, and opened the personal combat power panel, and also adjusted the Evolution Method to the current limit –

Gene Evolution Method: Heavenly Python Evolution Method (Ultra-Advanced 43%) (Practice time 360 days, cannot be improved)

Body: 551

Skills: Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique (Fourth Order 47%), Starry Sky Spear Technique (Fourth Order 23%), Footwork (Fourth Order 15%), Shield Technique (Fourth Order 16%)

Base Combat Power: 38570

Actual Combat Bonus: 63%

Combat Power: 62870

"The body index has increased by 12 points compared to just now, the skills have not changed." Xu Jingming thought, "It represents a slight improvement in speed, strength, and all aspects."

Although 12 points were not many, there was still some difference.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao said from the side.

"What's wrong?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Tiano * Sierre also passed the fourth level of the Starry Sky Tower an hour ago." Li Miaomiao said, "You were practicing the Evolution Method at that time."

"He also broke through?" Xu Jingming exclaimed, "Only twenty years old, from a small country in South Africa? That's really amazing."

Xu Jingming even wondered, what kind of resources could Tiano * Sierre get to cultivate?

After all, Botswana was much poorer compared to Xia Country.

If he had reached this step without top-notch resources to cultivate him, this talent would amaze Xu Jingming. Of course, he only looked forward to it more! The universe was vast, and there were countless experts. 'Xuan' was not even in the ranks of the strongest in the universe. How weak was the Blue Star civilization?

It would be better if there were ten times more people like himself and Tiano * Sierre in the weak Blue Star civilization.

"I'll go to the Starry Sky Tower and try again." Xu Jingming walked to his girlfriend, reached out and rubbed Li Miaomiao's head, "Wait for me here."

Li Miaomiao nodded.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming left and headed to the fourth level of the Starry Sky Tower again.
