482 Redmond and Whitejail
Xu Jingming waited silently after issuing the challenge.
It took just ten seconds for him to receive feedback—the challenge was a success!
Cross-Universe Battle: Hunter Cosmic Sector’s Wu Ming vs. Ultimate Ruin Cosmic Sector’s D’Wayvan.
The Life Evolution game officials immediately started advertising across the platform, giving it maximum exposure! They even sent messages to every Life Evolution player to inform them of this battle.
Second in the universe versus first in the universe? Xu Jingming couldn’t help but smile when he saw the successful battle. D’Wayvan has been first in the universe for more than 50 years. He wins easily no matter who he fights. His strength should be on a whole other level.
As for me, I went through ups and downs to barely reach second place. I reckon there’s a gap between D’Wayvan and me. Xu Jingming understood this. However, I can only understand the gap between us through a fight.
There was no fear about the gap! Over the years, many experts had defeated him, but he had overtaken them one after another.
Let’s see how strong you are as the universe’s number one. Xu Jingming closed the battle scheduling interface and began to prepare himself for the battle.
…
Far away in the Ultimate Ruin Cosmic Sector, a large spaceship hovered above a desolate planet.
“Countdown: 33, 32, 31… 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Activate!” Accompanying the AI’s countdown, a group of scientists in the spaceship’s command hall watched the screen fervently.
A white-winged man stood in front of the console and gently pressed the activation button.
Buzz!
The spaceship immediately released two strange bursts that charged at the desolate planet below.
During the transmission of the two strange bursts, they naturally collided, producing a strange reaction. The oscillations’ might surged, and when they struck the desolate planet, the rocks on the desolate planet’s surface silently shattered into gravel…
The wave swept past, and a large area of the desolate planet’s surface turned to sand.
“Test Planet Number 17. Achieved 35.22 million square kilometers of sandification. The maximum depth of sandification is 21 kilometers.” A scientist looked at the data and said excitedly, “Its might reached 320% of our estimates.”
The other scientists cheered.
“Congratulations, Chief. The experiment was a huge success.”
“Congratulations, Chief.”
The scientists were thrilled.
This experiment had lasted for more than 120 years after all. The results of today’s experiment were beyond expectations.
The winged man nodded and instructed, “Check the equipment for any wear and tear and carefully investigate the sandification data on the experimental planet. Collate all the experimental data and send it to me.”
“Yes, Chief,” the scientists beside him replied respectfully.
This winged man was the fifth-ranked scholar of the Feather Silkworm Civilization, and his educational level had reached Lv. 92! As an intermediate cosmic civilization, the Feather Silkworm Civilization only had one great scholar above Lv. 100.
As for the winged man, he was in his 800s this year, and his educational level had reached Lv. 92! Although it became harder to improve one’s educational level the further one went, the winged man was still young after all. There was still a chance of him breaking through to Lv. 100 before his demise.
The winged man turned around and left after giving the instructions, returning to his lounge.
A challenge? The winged man took off his robe and sat on a chair. He looked at the information on the projection and leisurely poured himself a glass of wine.
The most talented person on the evolutionary path of this generation, Wu Ming, has finally reached second place in the universe? The winged man’s eyes were filled with anticipation. I originally planned on breaking through to become an Origin lifeform after this successful experiment. I never expected that I would… be able to fight Wu Ming before breaking through.
This Wu Ming is a member of the Primordial Research Institute, and he cultivates the Primordial Star Conjecture. To be able to reach second place in the universe, his understanding of the Primordial Star must’ve reached an extremely high level. The winged man was surprised. I relied on scientific research to accumulate knowledge and gradually pry into the abyss! My understanding is deep enough. He has only cultivated the evolutionary method for 30-plus years, but his understanding has reached this level?
At the very least, his talent in evolution is higher than mine, the winged man thought. However, I’m 819 years old this year, and my educational level is at Lv. 99! I should be much better than him in academia.
His Lv. 92 education level was a disguise.
He needed to carry out many experiments in reality, which was why he carried himself as a Lv. 92 educational level. In fact, his true educational level had reached Lv. 99!
He was talented in the evolutionary path and was even more talented in the academic path. He had long been recruited as a peripheral member by Eternal Academy, one of the three strongest factions.
******
Earth, morning.
“Dad, today’s competition is between the number one and number two in the universe, D’Wayvan versus Wu Ming. Wu Ming is also from our Hunter Cosmic Sector. You have to watch this battle,” Xu Lixing persuaded excitedly.
“Oh, number one versus number two?” Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed in surprise.
“Yeah, these are the two strongest peak Lv. 8s in the universe,” Xu Lixing said immediately. “I also heard that Wu Ming has only cultivated for 30 to 40 years. His talent is terrifying.”
Xu Jingming blinked. Even my daughter knows about how Wu Ming has only cultivated for 30 to 40 years?
That’s right. Other than the 17 top factions back then, there were also 352 regional factions in the Hunter Cosmic Sector who knew about Wu Ming’s cultivation time and that he had joined the Primordial Research Institute. With so many factions aware of this, the news naturally spread.
His daughter knew it probably because of Qin Fangke.
“Jingming, let’s watch the competition as a family of three,” Li Miaomiao said.
“I really would love to,” Xu Jingming said apologetically, “but I have something important to do in the virtual world today, and it can’t be postponed. I’ll watch the match replay later.”
“Important matters?” Xu Lixing was helpless. “Alright, but it’s a pity that you will miss this battle, Dad.”
“You two can watch it first. Give me your take after that,” Xu Jingming comforted. “Alright, I’ll go online first. It’s really urgent.”
Xu Jingming went straight to his virtual chamber.
“Mom, it looks like it’s just the two of us,” Xu Lixing said helplessly.
…
On the virtual world’s Life Evolution gaming platform.
Battle of the Universe’s Apex—Universe Number One D’Wayvan vs. Universe Number Two Wu Ming!
“Wow, there’s so many people.” Xu Lixing and Li Miaomiao were a little shocked as they sat in the stands.
“There are more than 900 billion viewers now, and it’s still rising. The online audience for this battle will probably exceed one trillion.” Xu Lixing exclaimed in surprise. “More than one trillion cosmic citizens will be watching? This is a first for me.”
“Yeah.” Li Miaomiao nodded and looked at Wu Ming in the distance. “Every time I watch a competition, I find Wu Ming’s bearing a little similar to your father’s.”
“I think so too.” Xu Lixing nodded.
After all, they were a family who spent plenty of time together. Although his appearance had been changed to look smarter and his combat state was different from usual, his family could still sense the similarities.
“I don’t know much about the competition. Lixing, who do you think will win this battle?”
“No matter who the opponent is, I believe that Wu Ming can win. He’s my idol.” Xu Lixing was clearly very excited.
…
Elsewhere in the stands.
Qin Fangke and a young woman were also watching the battle.
With Xu Lixing’s admiration for Wu Ming, she will probably watch this battle today, Qin Fangke thought. Unfortunately, Xu Lixing has completely sold her virtual world assets and blocked me.
But aren’t there plenty of women everywhere? Qin Fangke looked at the woman beside him and smiled.
…
This was a clash of titans in Battle of the Universe’s Apex after all, and it attracted many people.
Even Prince Lunardo of the Primestar civilization was in the stands.
I heard from my brother that D’Wayvan and Wu Ming are extremely talented. They won’t be ordinary Origin lifeforms in the future. Prince Lunardo sat there. I’ve also sent them a message, but unfortunately, they didn’t accept my friend request. These two are really arrogant.
Prince Lunardo was helpless. There was nothing he could do about the two ignoring him.
These two would probably be figures on the same level as his brother in the future. He couldn’t afford to offend them.
…
Qu Fang, Wu Ming’s number one fan, was naturally watching the battle.
Tejano came today.
That’s the number one in our Hunter Cosmic Sector; he finally has a chance of becoming number one in the universe. Tejano was still filled with anticipation. He looked at Wu Ming with a strange expression. This Wu Ming participated in the mysterious land’s selection at the same time as my good friend, Xu Jingming!
He knew very well when Xu Jingming participated in the mysterious land because the latter had specially asked him about it.
The same amount of time spent cultivating the evolutionary method. He’s also good at spearmanship and shield techniques. Moreover, their bearings are somewhat similar. Could it be that Wu Ming is really my good brother? Tejano was rather excited and expectant. That’s interesting. In the future, this will be something to brag about.
…
Tejano is here too? It was very rare for the plump Deputy Dean Redmond to watch a match. He had extremely high authority and saw his son at a glance.
Redmond then carefully looked at the two people who had entered the battle scene.
“Redmond, which one of them do you think will win?” A voice sounded, and a man and woman sat beside him.
“Defender Whitejail, how rare it is to see you watch a match.” Redmond smiled at his friend.
“D’Wayvan’s educational level has reached Lv. 99, so he’s almost certain to break through to Lv. 100 before the age of 1,000. As a genius with extremely high talent in the academic and evolutionary paths, Eternal Academy naturally values him,” Whitejail said.
“An educational level of Lv. 100 before the age of 1,000. Impressive,” Redmond praised.
“He’s not as impressive as Wu Ming from your Primordial Research Institute,” Whitejail said. “He reached his current realm after cultivating the evolutionary method for 31 years. If he hadn’t suppressed it, he would’ve become an Origin lifeform last year, right?”
Redmond smiled.
“The Primordial Research Institute produced you, Redmond! You became a cosmic legend in 10,000 years, and you have a chance of becoming a Paramount realm powerhouse. Now, there’s Wu Ming. Why are all the geniuses on the evolutionary path coming from your Primordial Research Institute?” Whitejail shook his head. “It feels like your Primordial Research Institute is completely above our Eternal Academy and Spacetime Island in this era.”
“It’s not that easy to reach the Paramount realm,” Redmond said. “Even if I succeed, it’s very difficult to reach Eternal of the Paramount realm.”
“You’re already aiming for Eternal?” Whitejail shook his head. “What a monster.”
“Let’s see what these two youngsters are capable of.” Redmond cast his gaze at the match.
“D’Wayvan has a high chance of winning this battle. Redmond, what do you think?” Whitejail asked.
“I don’t know.” Redmond said, “The future is unknown.”
Whitejail was slightly taken aback as he looked at the combat world and nodded. “Yes, the future is unknown.”
