Cosmic Professional Gladiator Chapter 149

Chapter 149 - Cellular-Level Control

A breakthrough? Although he didn’t see his combat strength interface, Xu Jingming could clearly sense the transformation in his control.

After his battle with his master, Liu Hai, Xu Jingming could clearly sense all the cells in his body, but it wasn’t easy to control his body at a cellular level.

Xu Jingming practiced his spearmanship tens of thousands of times a day.

Three major training methods for tempering one’s will—cold, heat, and pain. There was also stabbing at the edge of the stellar system, bullets in the night, and simultaneous firing of 10,000 arrows…

The different training methods targeted Beam Transformation. This was because be it possession of a cosmic legend or the first volume of the Lv. 8 legacy, Beam Transformation, it was the most helpful to Beam Transformation. Naturally, he focused on practicing it.

There are hundreds of millions of cells in a person’s body; it’s impossible to divert attention to control every cell. Xu Jingming continued executing his spearmanship. His movements were much smoother and faster, and his agility increased exponentially. His attacks also became much faster.

The time he previously used to deliver two strikes could now deliver three strikes. It looked like an additional strike, but the speed at which he struck out completely changed.

The spear in Xu Jingming’s hand turned into spear afterimages that stabbed at the bullets at high speeds in an incredulous fashion.

According to the legacy, after sensing all the cells, one can begin to consciously mobilize all the cells as a whole! After repeated attempts—10,000 times, 100,000 times, a million times… With enough attempts, one’s mind and consciousness will slowly improve their control over the cells. When it reaches a certain level, one can break through to Lv. 5. Xu Jingming was delighted.

This was a matter of course.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xu Jingming’s movement technique was also much faster. With the same body, when he could control and mobilize it from a cellular level, the strength and speed he unleashed were naturally much more terrifying.

He could dodge most of the bullets by relying on his movement technique. If he couldn’t dodge, his spear could hit them all the time.

The number of bullets surrounding him didn’t increase, but their speed kept rising. When they reached 1250 m/s, Xu Jingming finally failed to defend.

It couldn’t be helped—it was night after all, and the bullets were shot from all directions. He couldn’t rely on his eyes to see.

If it were a head-on bullet moving at more than 3,000 m/s, Xu Jingming could easily stab it with his spear tip from a distance of ten meters. This was the terrifying reaction speed and attack speed at which he could muster after reaching the cellular level.

When he was hit by a bullet, all the bullets stopped and turned ethereal.

This training ended.

Xu Jingming put away his spear and opened his personal combat strength interface—

Genetic Evolutionary Method: Heavenly Python Evolution (Transcendent 99%) (360 days of practice. No room for improvement)

Physique: 702

Technique: Beam Transformation Spear Technique (Lv. 5 3%), Astral Spear Technique (Lv. 4 99%), Footwork (Lv. 4 99%), Shield Technique (Lv. 4 99%)

Basic Combat Strength: 126,360

Combat Bonus: 200%

Combat Strength: 379,080

Beam Transformation has indeed broken through. Xu Jingming also noticed his footwork. But my footwork hasn’t broken through… That’s right. Only the few footwork moves I combine with Beam Transformation Spear have changed. I can’t achieve cellular mastery in other forms of footwork.

His footwork needed a complete breakthrough before he could receive the virtual world’s recognition.

My body hasn’t changed, but my basic combat strength has doubled. Xu Jingming nodded slightly. After all, my strength and speed have increased in every aspect.

A 200% increase in actual combat? I remember that my actual combat bonus changed to 100% after my battle with Master. Now that my spearmanship has broken through to Lv. 5, my actual combat bonus has increased by so much. Xu Jingming came to a realization. Cellular-level control is too helpful in actual combat.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming leaped up and turned into a blur, jumping straight to the high-rise building in the dark city that was more than 100 meters tall.

Even an ordinary unevolved person would be terrifying if they could control their body at the cellular level; what’s more, having a Transcendent 99% body as a foundation.

After breaking through to Lv. 5, I just need to spend some time to become a cosmic lifeform. Xu Jingming knew that his path to becoming a cosmic lifeform was already a smooth one.

Becoming a cosmic lifeform: First, I need to become a Perfected planetary lifeform.

Second, reach Lv. 5 50%. Generally, one can master the cosmic life evolution method and use it to break through to become a cosmic lifeform.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. Both conditions aren’t difficult. My evolutionary method is now at Transcendent 99%, and my control over my body has reached the cellular level. I’ll be able to perfect my evolutionary method very soon, which is also a Perfected planetary lifeform. As for reaching Lv. 5 50%, I believe it will take me a year or so.

According to the legacy’s description, once one reaches Lv. 5, they can control their body at the cellular level, Xu Jingming thought. It will greatly reduce the speed of aging for their body, allowing them to live 800 years.

But in fact, this is meaningless! This is because one will quickly become a cosmic lifeform after reaching Lv. 5.

Xu Jingming sat on the rooftop of a tall building and looked up at the stars. This was a virtual galaxy, but it was even more dazzling.

Earth’s civilization is inconspicuous in the vast universe. Xu Jingming looked at space and thought of the future. Becoming a Lv. 5 or even becoming a cosmic lifeform in the future is only the beginning.

The possession experience made Xu Jingming realize how weak he was.

In the virtual world, China’s Life Evolution Bureau.

More than 30 people were gathered here. They were all the core members of China’s Life Evolution Bureau.

Director Zhou, the four deputy directors, and the backbone in charge of all aspects were a little excited.

“Everyone.” Director Zhou was in high spirits. “Ever since the virtual world officially launched and the entire human race began cultivating the evolutionary method, China has finally produced the first Lv. 5 expert.”

“Of course, it doesn’t include the small-scale cultivation of evolvers over the past 20 to 30 years,” Director Zhou said with a smile.

The female deputy director smiled and said, “We spent quite a bit of effort grooming them in the past 20 to 30 years, but only three people in the country reached Lv. 5. Moreover, the longest it took for these three to reach Lv. 5 was about ten years, and the shortest time it took was about three years. And this time, the world’s most talented people were selected… Look, Xu Jingming only took half a year to reach Lv. 5 from cultivating the evolutionary method.”

“To reach Lv. 5 in half a year is indeed astonishing.” A middle-aged man shook his head. “I spent more than eight years cultivating before breaking through to Lv. 5.”

“It’s already impressive to rely on yourself to reach Lv. 5 and become a cosmic lifeform,” Director Zhou said.

The middle-aged man said in shame, “I’m only an ordinary cosmic lifeform. I’m still stuck at Lv. 5 and can’t break through to Lv. 6. I can’t contribute much to Earth’s civilization.”

“Old Liu, don’t say that,” Director Zhou said. “Becoming a cosmic citizen and having all kinds of rights as a cosmic citizen is already a contribution to Earth. Ordinary people around the world aren’t able to interact with the outside world.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Now that the virtual world has been fully launched, other than minors, more than five billion adults around the world are competing. With so many people competing, only then can we choose the most talented people in Earth’s civilization. For example, Xu Jingming’s talent is much, much higher than mine.”

Everyone was very excited.

In the past, people were only groomed on a small scale; they didn’t know who was the most talented person among the billions of humans. Only when the virtual world was completely open and everyone cultivated the evolutionary method together… could one tell who was the most talented!

“Becoming a cosmic lifeform is only the beginning,” Director Zhou said. “Everyone, continue selecting geniuses and prepare for the fourth batch of grooming.”

“Yes, sir,” everyone replied..
