Jing Yulong and his wife were still waiting in the living room late at night.

Suddenly, Xu Jingming pushed open the door and entered.

"Son." Mother Yuan Yu immediately stood up. "How did it go?"

"Oilwind wasn't at home. It seems like he's gone into hiding," Xu Jingming replied. "But don't worry—I've asked a friend to track him down. I'm sure we'll find him soon."

Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu nodded in agreement. After all, their son was a Level 15 warrior and had many influential friends. It shouldn't be difficult for them to locate Oilwind.

"Dad, Mom, try to get some rest. You need to be careful for now. Oilwind might hire more assassins," Xu Jingming warned.

The couple nodded again.

"We'll head back to the family and lay low for a while," Jing Yulong said.

The Jing family was a powerful clan, with an ancestor who had lived for over 800 years and was a legendary warrior. However, they were ranked outside the top ten among the many families in Eastern Cloud, which boasted dozens of legendary warriors.

For instance, the Jiugu family was renowned for their intelligence and had six known legendary warriors in their ranks. Their influence extended to all aspects of Eastern Cloud, making them much stronger than the Jing family.

…

In Xu Jingming's martial arts chamber, he carefully watched the video information projected on the screen of his watch. Despite his incredible reading speed and remarkable memory, it still took him until dawn the next day to finish.

Meanwhile, in a different dominion, in the Heart Realm's beast hide space

Xu Jingming's massive body sat cross-legged, where he focused on deducing information on the 28 body tempering techniques.

According to the plan, I've been cautious in the first ten years and only studied a few body-tempering methods. There was just one legendary technique and three master-level techniques, Xu Jingming thought.

The legendary body tempering technique was the Fire God Body Tempering Technique from the Jing family.

With these early body-tempering methods, I gradually figured out the essence of different body-tempering techniques and unearthed more potential, raising myself to Lv. 28 within ten years.

Now, of the 28 techniques I've obtained, three are legendary and 25 are master level. They can greatly expand my database, Xu Jingming mused. As a high-dimensional Eternal lifeform, his thinking speed was astonishing.

He constantly deduced how to cultivate these techniques based on his past experiences.

In just five minutes, Xu Jingming stopped his deduction.

I've deduced at least ten evolutionary versions of each of the 28 body tempering techniques. Of course, this is only a theoretical deduction. I still need to cultivate them in reality and verify their effects, as well as collect experimental data to deduce a new version.

He began by deducing many versions of a single body tempering technique.

After gathering ample experimental data from his cultivation in reality, he deduced a new version based on the data. Then, he continued cultivating the new version and deducing more, repeating the cycle until the technique reached its maximum potential.

Next, I'll shift focus to cultivating the Heart Divine Weapon psychic weapon technique. He devoted himself entirely to its mastery.

He spent three years traveling in the Heart Realm to reach the distant Jiajiu 1037 dominion, where he exchanged a treasure worth 100,000 drops of Abyssal True Blood for a chance to learn the half-step third-realm technique.

Although the senior had offered three techniques for sale, Xu Jingming was only interested in the Heart Divine Weapon. He couldn't afford to learn a second technique, so he focused solely on mastering the one he wanted most.

With the Heart Divine Weapon technique under his belt, Xu Jingming now possessed three half-step third-realm techniques—Red Lotus Fire, Monhado, and Heart Divine Weapon.

However, he temporarily set aside Monhado—which focused on the body—as cultivating the body in high-dimensional space was vastly different from the Myriad Species World. It couldn't be used as a reference at all. As for combat techniques? As a monster, Monhado had never cared about techniques.

Therefore, Xu Jingming temporarily put this technique on the back burner.

Xu Jingming even temporarily put aside Red Lotus Fire.

More than five million high-dimensional lifeforms are competing in the Myriad Species World for survival, and it concerns my life! I have to give it my all. All the clones in the outside world are to service the clone in Myriad Species World. Xu Jingming knew this very well.

He had to fully devote all his energy to fight for a chance of survival. This way, even if he lost and died, he would find it acceptable.

If he were to divert his attention at this juncture and didn't give it his all, he would die in the Myriad Species World. That would be too unjust.

On the one hand, I'll use the many clones in the outside world to deduce body tempering techniques, and on the other hand, I'll focus on mastering the Heart Divine Weapon and the Eight Directions Map, Xu Jingming thought. The Heart Divine Weapon will help me create a combat technique in the Myriad Species World.

To become first in the Myriad Species Arena, one needed to rely on both body tempering and combat techniques, with the former being fundamentally important.

Xu Jingming had come a long way from a low-dimensional lifeform to mastering the Heart Realm Force and dedicating himself to his weapon, but he knew that his past accomplishments were negligible compared to his opponents.

Heart Divine Weapon is a psychic weapon technique that contains a brilliant combat technique, Xu Jingming thought regretfully. Unfortunately, the creator of this Heart Divine Weapon uses a staff.

How good would it be if he had used a spear?

However, Xu Jingming was already very glad to find a half-step third-realm psychic weapon technique. How could he have any extravagant hopes?

I've figured out the principles behind psychic weapons, and staff techniques are similar to spear techniques. I'll deduce a Heart Divine Weapon Spear Technique and use spearmanship as a foundation to create a physical combat technique.

While weapons were prohibited in the Myriad Species Arena, the body could also be used as a weapon. Xu Jingming had formulated a path for himself to grow by constantly deducing and perfecting the direction of his body tempering technique, which allowed him to obtain an extraordinary body.

He used the Heart Divine Weapon as a foundation to create a combat technique that allowed him to be one in body and mind.

However, these two paths took a long time, and Xu Jingming knew that his Heart Divine Weapon was still weak given the little time he had with it.

…

One evening, more than half a month after Jing Yulong and his wife were attacked, Xu Jingming received an email in his virtual account with information about Oilwind's location.

"Oilwind's hiding on the inner island of Magu Island. Block 17, Room 203, Dongtai District."

Xu Jingming examined the information. "Magu Island?

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "He really knows how to hide."

He grabbed his spear case and slung it over his back, ready to set off. Although weapons were prohibited in the Myriad Species Arena, they could be useful outside of it.

Xu Jingming made his way to a small aircraft in his courtyard and took off manually.

He calmly looked at the dark sky and gave the order to set off on his small aircraft, which had cost him over two million but was of excellent quality.

Whoosh!

The aircraft whooshed through the air, covering a distance of over a thousand kilometers in just over an hour.

As he looked down, he saw the bustling Magu Island.

Magu Island is the Magu Gang's headquarters. Even the law can't touch this place. Xu Jingming knew this very well. The seven human countries didn't have good security, with their capitals having poor security, much less an island out at sea.

The Magu Gang had made this place impregnable.

Hiding on the inner island of Magu Island requires a high residency fee but also offers Oilwind protection from the gang. It's a place where criminals can be at ease, and many lawbreakers hide there. Xu Jingming scoffed and steered the aircraft to one of the airports on Magu Island.

"Brother, welcome to Magu Island. There's everything you want here." Soon, a hooligan came forward and said warmly, "Do you want women or do you want to play a few rounds?"

Ignoring the offer, Xu Jingming walked 50 meters away, causing the hooligan to jump in fright at his powerful presence. "A powerful warrior."

After leaving the airport, he quickly arrived on the streets. He walked through the colorful streets filled with all forms of pleasure.

The management of the outer islands of Magu was lax and welcomed customers to spend, but the management on the inner island was strict, prohibiting outsiders from entering.

He strolled along the streets, buying snacks and even a mask of a ferocious mutant beast.

Eventually, he arrived near the inner island.

"Halt," a bandit shouted angrily from afar. All of them held laser guns.

Xu Jingming wore a ferocious mutant beast mask, which made the bandits feel that he had bad intentions.

"Outsiders are prohibited from entering the inner island of Magu." The bandits' eyes were filled with killing intent.

The leader said, "Take off your mask, raise your hands, and kneel on the ground."

The masked Xu Jingming said in a low voice, "Get lost if you want to live."

The moment that was said, the bandits' expressions changed.

"You're on the inner island of Magu now, buddy. Even the President can't enter without permission! Who gave you the right to trespass?" The lead bandit sneered, while the surrounding laser weapons automatically aimed at Xu Jingming from afar.

There was also a large number of surveillance networks covering it.

All kinds of weapons were locked and loaded.

Xu Jingming smirked at the bandits' threats as well as the laser weapons aimed at him along with the multiple surveillance weapon net. "I've heard that Magu Island welcomes all kinds of criminals. As long as they can make it here, you'll protect them from the seven human countries. Sounds like you guys are pretty powerful."

He knew that the Magu Gang was one of the top three gangs in the Eastern Cloud Nation, with tens of thousands of members on Magu Island alone.

They had turned the island into a military fortress, using all kinds of weapons and surveillance to protect their territory.

"Take off your mask, raise your hands, and kneel on the ground," the lead bandit commanded, aiming his laser weapon at Xu Jingming. "I'll count to three. If you don't comply, the laser net will tear you apart."

"Kneel," the other bandits shouted angrily.

"One! Two!" The bandit leader's killing intent was palpable as he prepared to fire. "Three!"

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, dozens of lasers shot out, enveloping Xu Jingming in a deadly net of light.
