474 Qin Fangke (2)

Xu Lixing was stunned. “Only 30 to 40 years?”

“Many people say that he should be able to become an Origin lifeform.” Qin Fangke nodded. “He’s going to become an Origin lifeform after cultivating the evolutionary method for 30 to 40 years. Do you know what this means?”

“What does it mean?” Xu Lixing remained perplexed. Although she knew that Origin lifeforms were very powerful, she found it unbelievable that someone could become an Origin lifeform in 30 to 40 years. But what did this feat mean? She didn’t know!

“This speed is considered the fastest among Origin lifeforms in our era,” Qin Fangke whispered. “It’s probably one of the top few in the entire cosmic human race’s history.”

“In the future, he will probably be one of the top ten figures in our Hunter Cosmic Sector,” Qin Fangke praised. “Therefore, all the regional factions in the Hunter Cosmic Sector will advertise for him on the platform! Even some factions in the other cosmic sectors will help him advertise. It can be considered an advance gift.”

Xu Lixing exclaimed in surprise.

“The number one fan on the fan ranking, Qu Fang, has already spent trillions of cosmic dollars. It’s obvious that he wants to cozy up to this person at all costs.” Qin Fangke scoffed. “But it also means that this Qu Fang… doesn’t have a strong background! There’s no need to curry favor with others if he had one.”

Xu Lixing fell into thought when she heard that.

“In short, an important figure at this level doesn’t need to do anything. Some gifts from ordinary occasions are enough to scare you,” Qin Fangke said. “Wu Ming hasn’t become an Origin lifeform yet. When he really succeeds and enters that circle—tsk, even a Star Alliance will have to think of a way to tie him down. I’m afraid he will migrate to another Star Alliance.”

“The price some civilizations pay to curry favor with such big shots—” Qin Fangke sighed and shook his head. “—is very terrifying. I can be considered to have some status, but compared to that circle, I’m just a small fry.”

Thanks to Qin Fangke, Xu Lixing had broadened her horizons while dating him.

Even in the virtual world, there were many secrets that the outside world didn’t know, but Qin Fangke had allowed her to make contact with them. It gave her a sense of novelty, opening her eyes to new worlds she didn’t know previously.

“Fangke, there’s something I want to talk to you about,” Xu Lixing said.

“Sure, what is it?” Qin Fangke nodded, and his eyes suddenly lit up. “We’ll talk later. Look, the battle has officially begun.”

…

Cosmic environment, asteroid belt.

Two figures—Xu Jingming and Mo Yunfang—stood on an asteroid each and looked at each other from afar.

Huh? Xu Jingming noticed a notification among the audience: “Your family is watching your competition.”

This was an automatic notification from the system. It also labeled the location of his daughter, Xu Lixing, in the stands.

Xu Jingming had temporarily hidden the stands from his view; he needed to focus on combat. Typically, the stands would appear when he chatted with the audience.

Lixing came to watch my competition today? She probably doesn’t know that Wu Ming is her dad. Xu Jingming couldn’t help but smile when he thought of this.

This made the distant Mo Yunfang frown slightly.

This Wu Ming is clearly much weaker than me, but he’s still smiling? Does he not care about winning? But with his status, he knew some things about Wu Ming.

Wu Ming, a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute. It was said that he had only cultivated the evolutionary method for 30 to 40 years.

“You’re talented, but you’re still too young. I won’t show mercy.” Mo Yunfang wore a pair of gloves and carefully observed Xu Jingming.

On an asteroid thousands of kilometers away, Xu Jingming held a spear and looked at him from afar.

The two stared at each other.

“Brother Wu Ming, watch out now.” Mo Yunfang’s voice echoed in the vast cosmos, and turbulent Cosmic Force gathered around him, instantly forming purple mist-like Cosmic Force around him. It made Mo Yunfang’s figure indistinct.

Xu Jingming’s entire body also emitted light as he began to stir the Cosmic Force. Infinite Cosmic Force constantly gathered toward him!

As the Cosmic Force he stirred was on a massive scale, Xu Jingming first formed a gorgeous robe of light over him. It sparkled with specks of light, which were a result of energy dissipation.

Other than the dissipation, everything else condensed over his body and robe.

Huh? Mo Yunfang’s expression changed. Why is the Cosmic Force he’s mobilizing so much stronger than in his previous battles?

“I’ve recently gained some insights. Brother Mo Yunfang, watch out.” Xu Jingming smiled and took a step forward.

Whoosh.

His entire body turned into a golden beam of light, and he was even faster than before.

He stirred up a massive amount of energy, and his movement technique had an even more obvious effect on space. Xu Jingming’s figure was indistinct, making it difficult for Mo Yunfang to determine his true location.

Since I can’t tell which is the real body, I’ll wipe them all out. Mo Yunfang extended his palms and struck down. When Xu Jingming approached, he felt the 500-kilometer space around him being crushed as they smashed toward him.

Boom!

The crushing force collided with the terrifying strength Xu Jingming brought with him.

Xu Jingming held his spear and stormed through all obstructions to arrive in front of Mo Yunfang.

The simple and furious thrust of the spear penetrated all invisible forces, causing Mo Yunfang’s expression to change drastically as he retreated to block.

However, Xu Jingming caught up in an instant. He swung his spear like a crescent moon and sliced across Mo Yunfang’s arm at a bizarre angle, dismembering it.

However, the arm that turned into light connected to the stump quickly.

Xu Jingming didn’t stop, and he instantly delivered an even more ferocious strike. It came fast and furious, and the entire space seemed to be shattered.

The palms that Mo Yunfang tried to use for blocking exploded, and more than half of his body exploded.

Countless beams of light gathered in the distance, reconstructing Mo Yunfang. His eyes were filled with disbelief, but he still reached out and tapped.

“I lost.” Mo Yunfang didn’t wish to fight anymore.

Just three consecutive strikes could shatter his body. What was the point of fighting?

They weren’t on the same level at all.

Xu Jingming was also a little surprised. He had won too easily.

This is what it feels like to use force to suppress others? Crushing the enemy fair and square with infinite energy? Xu Jingming felt delighted. He didn’t need to think up complicated combat strategies. If he was fast enough, the enemy wouldn’t be able to escape! If he was powerful enough, he could overwhelm all opponents and win immediately.

The simplest strategy is also the strategy without any solution. Xu Jingming was delighted.

Yes, this was how the Primordial Star ought to be. It emitted infinite light, standing front and center. Nothing could withstand it!

Only at this moment did Xu Jingming experience this feeling.

“You defeated me in three strikes. Your strength is much higher than mine; you’re at least ranked in the top 20 in the universe,” Mo Yunfang said before disappearing.

He lost too badly and was steamrolled.

Boom! Boom!

The hundreds of billions of cosmic viewers were a little surprised at first, but they quickly came to a realization and cheered. The cheers were earth-shattering, especially the vibes coming from the Hunter Cosmic Sector’s cosmic citizens.

“My scalp feels like it’s going to explode. He shattered Mo Yunfang in three strikes? That’s someone ranked around 100 in the universe.”

“What kind of strength is this?”

“This is madness!!!”

“See that? This is from our Hunter Cosmic Sector! Mother Stream Cosmic Sector, what do you have? Nothing!”

“Defeated in three strikes! Did Mo Yunfang deliberately lose?”

“Under the system’s surveillance, the strength, speed, and energy level of every move you make is clear. There’s no way to fake it.”

“Wu Ming is too terrifying. It’s only been half a year since he joined cross-sector battles, but he’s already this ferocious. Is he really going to be number one in the universe like Qu Fang said?”

Countless messages streamed in, and the countless audience members boiled over.

The number of viewers online was still rising. Yes, the competition was over, and Mo Yunfang had left, but more viewers joined the livestream when informed by their friends. This was because one could watch the replay in the livestream!

Xu Jingming also noticed that the number of viewers was increasing. He reached out and tapped gently, revealing the hidden stands.

Far away in the cosmos, there were countless virtual stands. After all, there were more than 100 billion cosmic viewers! His daughter was specially labeled as family, so Xu Jingming saw his daughter at a glance.

He saw his daughter sitting with a young man and talking excitedly.

Huh? The smile on Xu Jingming’s face gradually disappeared. That man…
