Cosmic Professional Gladiator
chapter-714

Xu Jingming stood by the window lost in thought.

Over the past century, he had encountered some high-dimensional lifeforms that had been born into the human race. Among them, he had the best relationship with Shadow. When they first met, they even fought. Xu Jingming had seriously injured Shadow with a single punch, and Shadow could only escape in a sorry state.

Shadow was especially good at escaping.

All of them are preparing to flee, Xu Jingming thought to himself. I have to leave too! Staying in the city will only implicate the innocent.

A clash at Lv. 50 was something ordinary humans couldn't endure.

Xu Jingming immediately left the corporation headquarters and headed for his parents' residence.

"Our son is here!" Yuan Yu, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard, shouted happily.

Jing Yulong sat on the sofa in the living room and watched a program on the projection with a silly smile. When he suddenly heard his wife's shout in the courtyard, he excitedly got up to open the door and saw Xu Jingming walking into the courtyard.

"Son, it's been a while since you visited," Jing Yulong said with a smile. "I'll cook personally today."

"I'll only be here for a short while," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"You need to take a break too. Don't let work wear you down," Yuan Yu remarked. "You're a legendary warrior after all. You don't have to worry about the corporation; just leave it to the clansmen to handle it."

Jing Yulong chuckled and said, "Your mother is right. A person's life is finite. A lifetime of hard work is a lifetime, same goes for a lifetime of happiness. You're already a legendary warrior, so you should enjoy life."

Xu Jingming sat down on the sofa in the living room. "Don't worry; I know. Oh right, how's your body tempering?"

"Son, the effects of your self-created 'Longevity Body Tempering Technique' are really good. I'm already at Lv. 10," Yuan Yu said. "Look, your mother doesn't have any wrinkles on her face. The more she practices, the younger she becomes."

"I'm already at Lv. 13," Jing Yulong said. "You just don't practice hard enough."

"Take your time," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "The difficulty of my body tempering method is low, and it mainly takes time to slowly improve. The higher the warrior's level, the longer their lifespan. When you both reach Lv. 15, you can live for 500 years. If you reach Lv. 20, you will have nearly 1,000 years of lifespan."

Jing Yulong exclaimed in surprise, "Son, this body tempering technique of yours is extraordinary. Your mother and I have talent that exceeds Lv. 10. This body tempering technique… is enough to ensure a family's prosperity and continuity."

Jing Yulong knew very well how precious this body tempering technique was.

Xu Jingming smiled.

He had already reached Lv. 50, so it wasn't difficult for him to create a body tempering method suitable for his parents.

The principle of the Longevity Body Tempering Technique was to 'improve a little every day.' It didn't seek to improve by leaps and bounds, but rather through continuous improvement. His parents had studied this body tempering technique for 80 years, and Xu Jingming had perfected and modified it several times. In 80 years, his parents had gained such strength.

"Son, how high do you think your mother can reach?" Yuan Yu asked.

"As long as she practices ten times a day, she shouldn't have any trouble reaching Lv. 15," Xu Jingming said.

"She's lazy. She'll do it eight times today and five times tomorrow," Jing Yulong commented.

"It's easy to say, but it's really difficult to persist ten times a day," Yuan Yu said.

"Why can I?" Jing Yulong retorted.

Xu Jingming smiled as he watched his parents bicker.

"Dad, Mom, my martial arts have reached a bottleneck. I plan on visiting the surrounding countries," Xu Jingming said. "If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."

"Alright, just be careful." Jing Yulong and his wife weren't too worried. Their son was a legendary warrior.

…

That day, Xu Jingming left Jianghan City quietly after settling the Jing Group's matters.

Within two weeks, high-dimensional lifeforms born in the seven human countries left one after another.

High-dimensional lifeforms born into weak species weren't foolish. Since powerful species were attacking, they naturally wouldn't stay where they were. Instead, they headed to remote areas to hide.

They had also gathered all the body-tempering techniques they needed.

Cultivation could be done anywhere.

******

Xu Jingming started his days of travel and cultivation. He left the seven human countries and saw the scenery in non-human countries. He tasted delicacies and constantly pushed the limits of his body tempering technique.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. He found himself in a city of the Hundred Flowers Elves.

Xu Jingming sat in a dining room and savored the delicacies of the non-humans.

The elves were a large race with many branches, such as the Hundred Flowers Elves, the Sea Elves, the Dark Elves, the Green Elves, the Moonlight Elves, the Sun Elves, and many more. However, the elves' physique was generally on par with humans, and they were also a relatively weak race.

Xu Jingming ate delicacies. Even though he had become a high-dimensional lifeform, delicacies were still his passion.

The Hundred Flowers Elves have been attacked by two Mountain Demon powerhouses, and some high-dimensional lifeforms born in the Hundred Flowers Elves have died. Xu Jingming sighed. However, places that have been attacked end up being relatively safe.

"Mmm."

Xu Jingming took a sip of his beverage and sighed in surprise. As expected of a beverage concocted by the Hundred Flowers Elves. This level is indeed far better than the beverages and alcohol of other species.

He drank his beverage and ate some vegetables and food.

The only flaw in the Hundred Flowers Elves' food… is that it lacks meat. Xu Jingming took a bite of the mushroom. However, the taste of this mushroom is not inferior to meat.

Non-human food had some unique traits.

"Mom, is that a human?" On the other side of the restaurant, a family of three was having lunch. One of the girls looked at Xu Jingming curiously.
