Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 528

528 Revival (1)

In the Lone Boat Star Alliance near Ansu Star Alliance, Xu Jingming stood quietly in space and patiently awaited the news.

“The Hellions have suffered over 30% losses in this raid. It has been 22 hours since the last attack; this team will most likely choose to retreat. Thank you for your hard work, Guardians!” A message from the Primordial Research Institute made Xu Jingming relax.

The plundering of the Lone Boat Star Alliance should be over.

When he received the mission to intercept enemies at Lone Boat Star Alliance, he remained there so that he could intercept the second and third waves more efficiently. Now that the plundering was over, it was time to return to the Ansu Star Alliance.

!!
Whoosh.

Ripples appeared in the air around him as he stepped through. He traversed 430 million light-years in one leap.

After four long-distance warps, Xu Jingming returned to the Ansu Star Alliance’s Jishui.

“I want a large bowl of noodles and a flask of fruit wine.” Xu Jingming came to a restaurant close to his residence and ordered some food.

Having repeatedly done interceptions and seeing the extinction of humans on habitable planets, he could now keep his calm. He buried these intense emotions at the bottom of his heart. Being incompetent and furious was ridiculous; only by being strong enough could he change the situation at the border.

Slurp! Slurp!

Xu Jingming ate his noodles as he recalled the repeated clashes in the raid.

“Uncle Ming.” A voice sounded, and a youth in sportswear walked over.

Xu Jingming looked up.

As Qiu Qingke had become a cosmic lifeform, his body’s growth and aging slowed.

“You’re alone today?” Xu Jingming finished the remaining noodles in one gulp before taking a sip of fruit wine. “Where are the girls beside you? Nine out of the ten times I’ve seen you is with girls.”

“There’s nothing I can do about being pestered.” Qiu Qingke sat down helplessly. “A genius under the age of 20, single, and a peak Lv. 6 cosmic lifeform… I can’t help it when they pursue me.”

Xu Jingming curled his lips.

After a few interactions, he discovered that Qiu Qingke was naturally optimistic. Perhaps he wouldn’t be where he was today if he weren’t optimistic, given his heavy setbacks in the past.

“You should get things done in order. Choose whoever you like. Don’t waste the time and the emotions that others dedicate.” Xu Jingming took another sip of wine.

“Uncle Ming, you’re too old-fashioned. I’m not even 20 yet, so how can I choose when I haven’t figured it out myself?” Qiu Qingke said. “Naturally, I have to spend some time with them to know who’s more suitable for me.”

“Moreover, according to the laws of our civilization, I can marry a maximum of ten,” Qiu Qingke stated. “I didn’t waste anyone’s time and feelings. I can marry all of them!”

Xu Jingming remained stunned. Marry ten?

“Oh right, Uncle Ming,” Qiu Qingke whispered, “I heard that there’s a mysterious land in the virtual world’s Blood Rain World. As long as you sacrifice 10,000 gold, you can enter the mysterious land. I’m now adventuring in Blood Rain World… What do you think of this mysterious land?”

The more he came into contact with Uncle Ming, the more unfathomable he found him.

Qiu Qingke had become a cosmic lifeform, so it was very easy for him to understand who the other cosmic lifeforms on Planet Jishui were in the virtual world. However, he couldn’t find any information on Uncle Ming.

Qiu Qingke wouldn’t trouble Uncle Ming for no reason, but he still wanted to consult the latter at key instances.

“The mysterious land?” Xu Jingming took a sip of fruit wine, his eyes filled with reminiscence. “That’s a good place for changing your fate.”

“Oh?” Qiu Qingke’s eyes lit up.

“As for you…” Xu Jingming glanced at Qiu Qingke and shook his head. “No, you’re still lacking.”

“Uncle Ming, how am I lacking?” Qiu Qingke asked.

“Your strength is lacking,” Xu Jingming answered. “At the very least, you have to become a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform. It’s best if you get better and reach the limit of Lv. 7… before giving it a try in the mysterious land.”

Qiu Qingke nodded. “I’m already at the limit of Lv. 6. I can sense that I will reach Lv. 7 in a few years.”

“That’s some confidence.” Xu Jingming smiled.

For example, he reached Lv. 7 in less than two years.

“The mysterious land has seven planet tests,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “Young man, think of a way to clear them. Perhaps there will be a surprise when you reach Planet Number Seven.”

With that said, Xu Jingming got up and left.

Qiu Qingke got up and thanked him. “Thank you, Uncle Ming.”

“You’re welcome.” Xu Jingming waved his hand and left with the fruit wine.

Having fought the cosmic race war, Xu Jingming was more willing to help the geniuses of humanity. However, he also knew very well that countless people would attempt the mysterious land. How many of them could reach Planet Number Seven? How many could be selected by the 17 top factions?

But as long as one was a genius, they would eventually stand out in the mysterious land. Even if they couldn’t join a top faction, they could join a regional faction.

Of course, if one couldn’t even enter a regional faction, it could only mean that their talent was lacking.

******

Hellion territory.

Sovereign Moyou sat on his throne and watched the returning team. Under his green eyes, the entire palace rippled like an illusion.

“Sovereign Moyou.” The Hellion team captain was a Hellion Sovereign as well, but he instinctively felt fear when faced with Sovereign Moyou’s gaze. He said respectfully, “The team I led had a total of 17 Origin lifeforms. We plundered the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector’s Lone Boat Star Alliance three times, and six Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms died. We suffered losses in every wave… I think something’s amiss. It should be that mysterious powerhouse.”
