Chapter 139: Wisdom
Translator: CKtalon
In this battle that sent reverberations through the universe, Ambro was at an absolute disadvantage at the beginning. After all, the other party had the combined forces of three Lv. 10 experts.
Boom.
An enemy held a saber and drew upon the massive star in the distance. Endless flames from the star traversed the void and landed on the enemy.
The constant accumulation of the flames caused space around the enemy to collapse, and a black ring of flames appeared.
This black ring of flames was the amalgamation of the endless flames of the star.
“Die.” The saber-wielding enemy charged at Ambro with the black ring of flames swirling around his saber.
When Ambro blocked with the shield in his left hand, an invisible fluctuation tore through the void and descended on the star, causing it to completely shatter under the fluctuations that enveloped millions of kilometers. The laws governing the star system began to collapse.
Xu Jingming couldn’t help but be secretly dumbfounded.
The fluctuations that Ambro casually transmitted weren’t strong, but during the transmission process, it naturally stirred up Cosmic Force, causing its might to increase constantly. When it descended upon the star, its might was enough to wipe the star out.
The enemy didn’t care about the destruction of the star. He still gathered all the flames in the vast area around them and attacked with all his might.
“Ambro, you shall be punished!” The vast Cosmic Forces collided like an ocean. Blinding lightning appeared, and huge bolts of lightning—like tree branches—smote Ambro under the guidance of a spear.
“Dying at the hands of us three should leave you with no regrets.” The third enemy wore gloves and held a weapon with both hands. Somehow, an invisible wind attacked.
Ambro had a powerful physique, and his dual shields were like two huge celestial bodies that perfectly blocked the enemy’s attacks.
The two enemies who are good at fire and lightning pose a relatively low threat to Ambro. Xu Jingming could clearly make a judgment via the possession. Ambro is good at defense and can completely withstand the enemy’s attacks. Instead, it’s the enemy who uses both hands—his moves are formless and silent like wind… It’s very difficult for Ambro to block them.
However, these three enemies are also very terrifying. The flames appear to be flames on the surface, but they are actually the realization of vast cosmic power.
It’s the same for the lightning; it’s the eruption of some form of collision among the omnipresent cosmic powers.
The wind is different. It’s invisible and formless, but it’s actually a spatial attack.
The changes in space wrecks Ambro’s shield technique and his body. Ambro’s body… is constantly injured. Xu Jingming could sense the invisible spatial changes, causing the space around his body to lengthen and shorten. The changes in space affected the body greatly.
Even if a Lv. 10 expert’s body could expand or shrink, they would be seriously injured or even die in the face of the spatial transformation. However, Ambro’s body was too strong! His recovery ability was also very strong!
He was clearly constantly injured, but he quickly recovered.
Ambro’s body is even stronger than a star. It’s as if a black hole that possesses infinite energy is hidden in it. His recovery speed is also astonishing. Xu Jingming took it in. This is also one of the reasons why he can withstand the attacks of the three.
On the other hand, it’s his shield technique. His shield techniques resemble celestial bodies on the surface—simple and unsophisticated! But in fact… one of his dual shields is controlling time while the other is controlling space. Xu Jingming sensed it. He’s secretly setting up a strange spacetime trap.
Ambro was at an absolute disadvantage as he blocked with great difficulty, causing the three enemies to attack with more bloodlust. They wanted to seize the opportunity to kill Ambro.
But—
The moment the spacetime trap was set up!
“What’s this?” The expressions of the three enemies suddenly changed.
“Spacetime well?”
“How is that possible?”
The three enemies were terrified.
The surrounding space was like a well, constantly collapsing and shrinking. The three enemies frantically tried to escape, but the collapsed space made it impossible for them. Moreover, the space became smaller and smaller.
The three of them were enemies that had fallen into the well.
“None of you will be able to escape today.” In the spacetime well that had taken form, Ambro bared his fangs.
His shield technique was no longer just on the defense but on the offense!
Die!
Not only was Ambro unaffected by the collapsing spacetime well, but he could even direct it. Every strike he delivered was terrifying and extraordinary.
His shield techniques were no longer just like a celestial body attack but like the bombardment of all of spacetime! His shield techniques were ferocious to the extreme, and even though the vitality of the three Lv. 10 experts was tenacious, in just five minutes after the spacetime well took form… Ambro unleashed millions of shield strikes, completely blasting the three enemies into nothingness!
“How did you set up a spacetime well?” The three enemies found it unbelievable at the final moment.
“Because my educational level is at Lv. 102!” Ambro waited until he had killed the three enemies before giving the answer.
At this moment, Xu Jingming’s consciousness left Ambro’s body.
Ambro looked in Xu Jingming’s direction and smiled.
******
Inside the huge sphere, Xu Jingming opened his eyes and woke up. I’m awake.
Xu Jingming stood still in a daze and patted his head. Why do I feel like I’ve become stupid?
It’s not that I’ve become stupid, but Ambro’s intelligence is too high. Xu Jingming immediately realized. Although I can’t sense his intelligence with my possession, Ambro’s heart is as calm as water regardless of the situation. Everything is under his control.
Even if he’s surrounded by three enemies, the entire combat process is under his control. Although the enemy’s attacks are very terrifying in combination, he has the corresponding countermeasures. He even set up that so-called spacetime well from the beginning.
Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. I also like to calculate when fighting; I calculate the distance in space and time. I kill the enemy using relative speed and time! But compared to Ambro, I’m nothing. Ambro is the one with great wisdom.
Educational level of Lv. 102? What does that entail? Xu Jingming didn’t know.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming walked out of the sphere, and Director Zhou greeted him with a smile.
“How is it compared to the previous possession?” Director Zhou asked.
“I possessed the cosmic legend, Xuan, previously. He had no distracting thoughts and was extremely calm. When he was at Lv. 10, Xuan’s strength was inferior to Ambro’s, but in the end, Xuan broke through and became a cosmic legend,” Xu Jingming said. “Ambro was extremely intelligent, and it was as if nothing was a secret in front of him. Everything was under his control, but his final achievements only reached Lv. 10.”
“Haha…” Director Zhou smiled and said, “Ambro, with an educational level of 102, was virtually invincible among Lv. 10 experts. Xuan also has a very high educational background; he reached Lv. 98 and became a cosmic legend!”
“Xuan also has a Lv. 98 educational level?” Xu Jingming was surprised. “But when I possessed Xuan, I didn’t feel that kind of intelligence of seeing through everything?”
“Didn’t you exchange for the first volume of his spearmanship legacy, Beam Transformation?” Director Zhou smiled. “You’ll know when you read it.”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
Regardless…
Ambro, Educational Lv. 102.
Xuan, Educational Lv. 98. They should all have very high educational backgrounds.
“Director, what does Educational Lvs. 98 and 102 mean?” Xu Jingming asked.
“If such an intellectual were to be born on our planet,” Director Zhou’s eyes were filled with anticipation as he laughed self-deprecatingly, “it would be amazing. I don’t even dare to think about it. Such a smart person coupled with the most ordinary research spacecraft and some of the commonly seen planetary minerals in the universe can create technological weapons. They can easily wipe out Earth’s civilization.”
Xu Jingming’s heart tightened.
“Cultivate well. There’s no need for you to know too much now.” Director Zhou picked up the box beside him and handed it to Xu Jingming. “This is the A-grade Mental Tempering Crystal. Bring it back.”
Xu Jingming took the box.
“Reach Lv. 5 first—this is what we hope for you,” Director Zhou said. “We can’t bite off more than we can chew for a civilization. We have to take things one step at a time.”
“Understood.” Xu Jingming nodded and immediately left with the box.
Soon, Xu Jingming left Binhai on an aircraft and returned to Mingyue City.
