628 Seeking an Unattainable Loss

In Wu Ming’s World, a grizzled middle-aged man held two s.h.i.+elds and was fighting a panda that also held two s.h.i.+elds.

The panda was about 3.5 meters tall, fierce, and agile. When Xu Jingming set its parameters, its strength was to be three times that of a human. Coupled with the dual s.h.i.+eld techniques that could make it a grandmaster, the challenge was extremely difficult.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

The grizzled middle-aged man’s movement technique was ghostly, and his dual s.h.i.+eld techniques were clearly much more brilliant. His entire body floated and dodged, and with the help of the dual s.h.i.+elds, he seemed to turn into a ball.

They clashed again and again.

His dual s.h.i.+elds didn’t leave any flaws. As he constantly spun, he finally found a chance.

The moment their s.h.i.+elds collided, the edge of his s.h.i.+eld brushed past the panda’s head, forcing the panda into staggering back. He naturally took the opportunity to charge forward.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The s.h.i.+eld struck three times in a row… The seriously injured panda cried out in pain and limped away.

“I won. I won.” The grizzled middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised.

It’s been five years. Wu Ming’s World has been available for five years, but there have only been five cosmic lifeforms who cleared the third level. I actually became the sixth! The grizzled middle-aged man found it unbelievable.

His ranking wasn’t high in Battle of the Universe’s Apex. He wasn’t even in the Primestar Cosmic Sector’s top 1,000, and his universal ranking was over 30,000.

I was ranked in the 30,000s in Battle of the Universe’s Apex. In the past five years, I’ve focused on learning Lord Wu Ming and the others’ combat videos. Now, I’ve actually successfully cleared the third level. The grizzled middle-aged man was extremely excited.

“Congratulations to player Mokedu for clearing the three levels and obtaining a reward of 100 billion cosmic dollars. Moreover, you have received a chance to fight Lord Wu Ming. You are only allowed to challenge him once a year.” A voice sounded in his ears.

Mokedu smiled.

100 billion cosmic dollars was a huge sum of wealth for a peak Lv. 8 like him.

Hu!

Mokedu immediately flew up and continued flying up from the top of the mountain. He pa.s.sed through the clouds and finally arrived at a huge arena higher up.

Whoosh.

Mokedu landed on the huge arena.

Everyone who cleared the three levels could come to the Sky Arena to fight Xu Jingming! Of course, they would have to wait a year to issue a second challenge. Otherwise, Xu Jingming would be too busy with the continuous challenges.

I’m here. Sky Arena. Mokedu felt his entire body tremble.

This was the highest stage every cosmic lifeform yearned for.

In Xu Jingming’s livestream, countless cosmic citizens were watching the new person step onto the Sky Arena. Information naturally appeared in the livestream—Player Mokedu, a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform.

“It’s actually a cosmic lifeform.”

“This must be the sixth cosmic lifeform to clear the third level in the past five years.”

“Who is he?”

Countless cosmic citizens stared at Mokedu.

Many factions in the universe also paid attention to Mokedu.

“The challenge Lord Wu Ming set is different from Battle of the Universe’s Apex! Battle of the Universe’s Apex allows one to have a peak Lv. 8 body identical to reality. Therefore, everyone’s body and cosmic energy are different. In combat, other than weapon techniques, the use of cosmic energy is also very important. As for Wu Ming’s World… the battles are the purest form of weaponry battles.”

“Without cosmic energy and with everyone having the same physique, victory depends entirely on weaponry techniques.”

This Mokedu isn’t famous in Battle of the Universe’s Apex, but he managed to clear the three levels. This means that his weaponry techniques are brilliant, but he’s not good at using cosmic energy. Many audience members guessed.

“Lord Wu Ming has appeared.”

“The battle is about to begin.”

“I get to see Lord Wu Ming again.”

Countless cosmic citizens watched this battle with a burning gaze.

…

On the Sky Arena floating above the clouds, Xu Jingming quickly walked out of his residence beside the Sky Arena after Mokedu appeared.

“Mokedu.” The fiery-red-robed Xu Jingming’s eyes were filled with kindness. “Of the six cosmic lifeforms who cleared the three levels, you’re the only one who uses dual s.h.i.+elds.”

“Lord Wu Ming.” Mokedu was rather respectful.

“Your weapon techniques are so brilliant; yet you haven’t become an Origin lifeform. Is it because your mental strength is still lacking?” Xu Jingming asked.

“There’s still something lacking,” Mokedu replied.

Xu Jingming nodded.

After the challenge, he would also give Mokedu information on mental tempering and mental purification via weapons.

He had sent the information on mental purification to every Origin lifeform in the human race in a group; very few cosmic lifeforms knew about it. However, those who could clear the three levels were usually devoted to their weapons. Xu Jingming would also send them a copy.

“Come forth.” Xu Jingming extended his hand, and a black spear appeared in it.

“Alright.” Mokedu didn’t waste his breath. He extended his hands and held a s.h.i.+eld in each hand before charging over, leaving afterimages behind.

Xu Jingming stood still with his spear and allowed the other party to attack. He casually raised, stabbed, and bashed.

Mokedu found any move of his difficult to block.

It’s clearly a very simple move, but in Lord Wu Ming’s hands, it’s like a meteor streaking across the sky or a supernova. It’s so natural but shocking. Mokedu was touched when he saw such spearmans.h.i.+p, and his eyes naturally welled up with tears.

As one of the six cosmic lifeforms who had cleared the third level across the 34 cosmic sectors, Mokedu wasn’t a fan of cosmic energy. He pursued the limits of his body and weapons.

Weapons were an extension of the body, and the limits of the body were also the limits of the weapon.

I once thought that I was already at the limit of my body and weapon. After watching Lord Wu Ming’s videos, I sensed a broader world… However, I only know after fighting Lord Wu Ming—that’s the power of the mind.

The weaponry Dao possesses such a strong mental resonance and shock.

This was something difficult to understand from watching videos. Only by facing Xu Jingming head-on could one sense the shock brought about by his spearmans.h.i.+p.

Mokedu instinctively burned his emotions and focused on using his s.h.i.+eld technique.

The two sides clashed hundreds of times.

Bang!

Finally, the spear strangely extended and retracted. With a tap on Mokedu’s chest, his heart shattered.

Mokedu was stunned. I lost.

Mokedu’s heart was recovering. After all, it was a very ordinary physique. Failure was determined upon receiving a fatal injury.

53 seconds. Mokedu also noticed the time. Lord Wu Ming had indeed gone easy. He actually fought me for hundreds of rounds. If he was willing, he could have defeated me in one strike.

“Thank you for your guidance, Lord Wu Ming.” Mokedu bowed gratefully.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “You’ll be very busy in time to come.”

Mokedu was stunned. Busy?

Then, his figure dissipated and disappeared.

Xu Jingming also sent Mokedu detailed information on Weapon Tempering and Mind Purification. There would be no latent risks from the purification of the mind, and it was very suitable for these peerless geniuses who were devoted to weapons.

All the factions in the universe will vie for any cosmic lifeform who can clear the third level. Xu Jingming sighed inwardly. Mokedu wasn’t famous previously and didn’t join the 17 top factions. He will probably soon enter the three strongest factions.

Wu Ming’s World’s three-level challenge was also a kind of selection to a certain extent.

Only 792 people have cleared the three levels in five years, and six of them are cosmic lifeforms. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. Even Origin lifeforms have to spend enough effort on weapons; otherwise, they won’t be able to clear it.

As time pa.s.ses, more Origin lifeforms in the cosmic human race will temper their weapons and minds. They can all help me.

Although he was rich, he wasn’t stupid.

Those with a certain tempering effect were rewarded with 100 billion cosmic dollars. The battle typically ended in a minute.

The more effective ones were rewarded with 1 trillion cosmic dollars. The battle typically ended in ten minutes.

An opponent who pleasantly surprised Xu Jingming would have a much longer battle time. Xu Jingming was also willing to reward them with 100 trillion cosmic dollars.

Unfortunately, it’s been five years. There’s only one opponent who pleasantly surprised me—Senior Sister Primordial One, Xu Jingming thought. Senior Sister Primordial One is indeed a genius who was once on par with Deputy Dean Redmond. Her attainments in the sword are so high… I’ve had the most pleasure fighting her in the past five years.

In five years, I used many experts as a whetstone to accommodate the Dark Primordial Star, refine all the impurities, and condense my mind… I finally completed my ninth condensation.

I wonder when I’ll meet an opponent who can defeat me. Xu Jingming looked forward to his defeat.

Being able to defeat him would greatly stimulate his spearmans.h.i.+p. It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent who was better in weapons than him.

…

Deputy Dean Redmond sat at his desk and looked at Defender Whitejail on the projection.

Defender Whitejail’s appearance was virtually perfect, and it was difficult to tell if he was male or female. He smiled and said, “Redmond, you’re proficient in all kinds of techniques. Are you confident in defeating your junior brother?”

“Not at all.” Redmond smiled. “I’ve seen him fight Junior Sister Primordial One. If I’m only to use weaponry techniques… it’ll take me some effort to defeat her. As for my junior brother, although he enjoyed that battle, the battle was under his control from beginning to end. His weaponry techniques have already exceeded mine, so I won’t be partic.i.p.ating.”

“You sure are frank,” Whitejail said.

“Is anyone from your Eternal Academy partic.i.p.ating?” Redmond asked. “Of the three inst.i.tutions, your Eternal Academy has the most Origin lifeforms and is known to be the best at combat. How can you tolerate my junior brother’s arrogance? He’s paying ten quadrillion to seek a defeat.”

“All the old fellows aren’t confident and are holding back.” Whitejail smiled. “This junior brother of yours is really arrogant. He offered ten quadrillion cosmic dollars and even wrote a personal letter. He even took the initiative to tell us the detailed method of tempering the mind and consciousness with weapons! Many old fellows who have reached a bottleneck are holding back and trying to temper their minds with weapons. Once they are confident, they will definitely partic.i.p.ate.”

Redmond nodded. “Understood. If they don’t partic.i.p.ate, it means that they aren’t confident.”

“This kid is already too strong,” Whitejail said. “I think Sherwood is the only one who has a chance of defeating him.”

“Of the seven cosmic legends of this era, only he is devoted to weapons.” Redmond nodded.

In fact, very few cosmic legends were devoted to their weapons. This was because high-dimensional powers were filled with infinite possibilities. There were too many limitations when using weapons.

…

Years pa.s.sed after Wu Ming’s World opened.

As more and more Origin lifeforms refined their weapons and minds, batch after batch of powerhouses cleared the third level. However, Xu Jingming was like an unmovable mountain. All of them suffered heavy losses and were defeated.

Xu Jingming had always yearned to lose, but as time pa.s.sed, he condensed his mental strength for the tenth time, the eleventh time… Yet, he met no equal adversary.
