Chapter 227 Combat Bonus 1020% (1)
In the evening of August 30, Liu Hai also moved to his new home and became Xu Jingming’s neighbor, as well as the owner of Unit 7.
The lights in the residence courtyard were dim.
“Master, you’re staying alone?” Xu Jingming and Liu Hai sat in the courtyard. “I’ve gotten used to it after all these years.” The stocky Liu Hai smiled. “Moreover, I’m a martial arts lunatic. I don’t care about anything when practicing martial arts! My wife likes crowds, and she has her career in Beijing. My children also have their careers in Beijing. They can move again when they want to.”
Xu Jingming wondered if his master would be a little lonely if he lived alone.
“It’s good to have some peace and quiet.”
Liu Hai asked, “Jingming, did you gain anything from interacting with the virtual world?”
“I just feel that the entire Cosmic Human Alliance is huge and that there are countless civilizations.” Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. “I’m quite outstanding on Earth, but I only find myself ordinary after coming into contact with the entire universe’s human civilization. There are many people who are stronger than me in any virtual game world.” “The universe is vast, and there are always stronger people out there.” Liu Hai was very expectant. “China’s Taiji lineage was created by our ancestors and has been perfected generation after generation. If we can draw upon the wisdom of countless civilizations in the universe, I wonder how far the Taiji lineage can transform.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “The lifespan after becoming a cosmic lifeform is very long. In your hands, the Taiji lineage will definitely reach an unprecedented height.”
Perhaps their predecessors were extremely intelligent, but due to their limited knowledge and lifespans, their achievements in the Taiji lineage were limited.
Liu Hai’s lifespan had reached 3,000 years. How long was China’s history?
“I think you should’ve broken through to the intermediate realm of a cosmic lifeform, right?” Liu Hai looked at his disciple. He could sense a faint pressure even though the latter had restrained his vital aura.
“I just broke through a few days ago.” Xu Jingming nodded. “Master, you’ll probably break through soon.”
“Yeah.” Liu Hai nodded. “After becoming a cosmic lifeform, my mind and consciousness have greatly increased. I broke through to Lv.5 82% directly, and I’m not far from Lv. 6. Oh right, do you have any suggestions for the virtual world? I’m completely clueless now.”
Xu Jingming thought for a moment before saying, “You can first take a look at the virtual worlds ranked in the top 100 and try exploring them. The first two months are about exploration; don’t be in a hurry to stay in a particular virtual world for long. My core now is Blood Rain World. If I can establish myself there, I can invite you over. I’m still considered a vagrant there.”
“Blood Rain World?” Liu Hai’s eyes lit up. “You plan on taking root in that world?” “Blood Rain World has a very special background. It’s worth the effort.” Xu Jingming nodded. “I reckon it will take a few months before I can take root.”
A month later, he would be a guard of the Fei family and escort them to the capital.
Xu Jingming thought of taking root in the capital of Blood Rain World! If he had a way, he could help his master, Liu Hai, take root in the capital.
Unity was strength. In Blood Rain World, many things would be more convenient with his master’s help. “Alright, that’s settled then.” Liu Hai got up. “I’m too curious. I’ll take a look at the virtual world first.”
“I won’t disturb you any further, Master.” Xu Jingming smiled and got up to leave.
He was in a good mood. Ever since the virtual world officially launched on Earth, he was China’s first cosmic lifeform. His master was the second, and there would be a third and fourth… He wasn’t the only one fighting for Earth’s civilization; there was a group of people!
******
In his personal space in the virtual world.
Xu Jingming first chose to be a sparring partner in the World of Peak Weaponry virtual world and also confirmed the price—20,000 cosmic dollars an hour.
It couldn’t be helped. After one’s level of life increased in reality and reached the intermediate realm of cosmic lifeforms, their body and brain would naturally evolve. Their mind and consciousness would be greatly enhanced… This allowed them to move more minutely and accurately in combat, so their actual combat naturally improved. Moreover, he had gained basic mastery of the five volume’s Spacetime, allowing his actual combat bonus to reach 1020%. Having broken through to have a 10x actual combat bonus, the hourly price as a sparring partner naturally increased. The higher the hourly price as a sparring partner, the lower the probability of being selected. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. He only made being a sparring partner an option due to the long wait.
If he was lucky, someone might choose him after a while. If he was unlucky, it might take him hours for someone to choose him. This was because very few cosmic citizens were willing to spend so much money to spar for an hour.
“Meteorite training.” As Xu Jingming remained in line, he practiced his spearmanship in his personal martial arts arena.
Flaming meteors tore through the sky at high speeds and crashed into the area where Xu Jingming was.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The spear danced, causing meteors to fall to the side. Xu Jingming tried to combine the concepts of Flowing Water and Spacetime, pursuing maximum strength and speed.
My heart should be as silent as the stars, comprehending the phenomena of all living things, drawing upon the forces of all things, and converging the might of the spear. As the force converges, it will become greater and greater, allowing me to be unstoppable and capable of unleashing that extreme strength and speed. Xu Jingming practiced his spearmanship. Although he had been enlightened by Lord L’s words, it was one thing to know; it was another to put it into practice.
The situation was dynamic.
An enemy targeted you, thinking of ways to defeat or even kill you!
I want to grasp all the factors in my surroundings and direct the forces of all things, but the more brilliant the enemy is, the more they will ‘interrupt’ and alter the situation. This process of fighting requires sufficient patience! My mind also needs to be calm enough to seize every opportunity.
