713 A Hundred Years

In the blink of an eye, more than a century had pa.s.sed since Xu Jingming descended into this world.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged alone in a vast training hall that spanned over 10,000 square meters. The invisible heat waves emanating from his body caused the temperature in the room to rise, distorting the air.

The Fire Dautra Body Tempering Technique is truly unique, Xu Jingming thought to himself as he restrained his aura. My body tempering technique can still improve after absorbing the essence of this technique.

However, I’ve already gathered the body tempering techniques of the seven human countries, including the three most important paramount body tempering techniques and 125 legendary body tempering techniques.

Years ago, after receiving a significant sum of money from Magu Island, he had focused on self-improvement and used the money to purchase many body tempering techniques. There were over 100 legendary body tempering techniques in the seven human countries, with relatively low confidentiality.

However, the three paramount body tempering techniques couldn’t be bought with money, and Xu Jingming had to use his strength to force a sale to acquire them.

I’ve spent a hundred years slowly digesting these techniques, and I’m almost done. Xu Jingming nodded.

His clone in the outside world was a high-dimensional Eternal lifeform, and his thinking speed was terrifying. He could have finished digesting them in a month, but Xu Jingming took his time, deducing many evolutionary versions of each technique he had obtained and striving to perfect them until he could no longer improve further.

I’ve drawn on the essence of many body tempering techniques in the seven human countries, Xu Jingming noted. With my intelligence and the help of a high-dimensional Eternal lifeform’s thought process, I’ve created the Jing Body Tempering Technique.

This technique was the culmination of his wisdom, surpa.s.sing the body tempering techniques of the seven human countries by countless times.

With this technique, my body has reached Lv. 50!

But the further one goes, the harder it is to improve. This is because my body tempering method is already perfect.

Xu Jingming also felt pressured.

Whoos.h.!.+

Xu Jingming went to the bathroom to change before stepping out into the heavily guarded manor.

“Family Head.” A bodyguard bowed respectfully.

Xu Jingming nodded. “To the company.”

“Yes, sir.” A luxurious aircraft soon descended, and Xu Jingming boarded it.

Over the past century, Xu Jingming had become the family head of the Jing family. Although he had hidden much of his strength, his public strength made him a legendary warrior. The Jing family’s ancestor was in his 900s, and he could pa.s.s away at any time. 50 years ago, he handed the position of family head to Xu Jingming.

On the rooftop of a skysc.r.a.per in Jianghan City, an aircraft slowly descended, and Xu Jingming disembarked.

“Family Head.”

“Boss.” The upper echelons of the corporation greeted him respectfully.

The Jing Group was founded by the Jing family’s ancestors and had a history of over 900 years. It was a ma.s.sive corporation with the family members at its core, employing a large number of talented individuals and forming a significant faction.

Since Xu Jingming became the family head, he had relocated the Jing Group’s headquarters to Jianghan City.

“Ni Yun, have you gathered the latest videos?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Boss.” Ni Yun, a middle-aged woman who had matured significantly since their last meeting, nodded. “We’ve collected three more combat videos today.”

Xu Jingming nodded and walked to his office, with Ni Yun following beside him.

After the Magu Island incident, Ni Yun had returned to Jianghan City, become more mature, and kept a low profile. She later got married and had a daughter but divorced a few years later to focus on her career.

When the Jing Group began recruiting on a ma.s.sive scale after relocating to Jianghan City, she was one of the recruits.

As she was trusted by Xu Jingming, Ni Yun grew step by step and became a core member of the corporation after more than 50 years.

“Boss, these are the three latest combat videos.” Ni Yun played three videos on the projection after entering the office.

Xu Jingming sat calmly in his chair and watched.

The first video showed a figure more than 60 meters tall, towering like a hill, with greenish-brown skin. He leapt down from a huge bird in the sky and struck the ground with a punch, causing a shockwave that shattered countless buildings and took countless lives.

Three figures fled into the distance from the ruined city.

“Haha, do you think you can escape?” The Mountain Demon powerhouse laughed loudly, his towering figure and huge steps allowing him to catch up to one of the escapees—a Dwarf—in a matter of seconds.

The Dwarf powerhouse was forced to fight, but in just three moves, he was pulverized by the two huge palms of the Mountain Demon powerhouse.

“Dwarfs are really weak.” The Mountain Demon laughed.

The other two Dwarf powerhouses had already fled.

Ni Yun explained, “This mysterious powerhouse from the Mountain Demons reduced a city with a diameter of over 30 kilometers to ruins with a single punch, reaching Lv. 47 in human strength standards.”

Although Ni Yun had seen many such videos, her heart still trembled. This was because the previous Myriad Species Arena champion’s strength was only at Lv. 35. And from the videos she had recently gathered, the mysterious powerhouses of the various races were at least Lv. 40.

“Next,” Xu Jingming said.

The second video began.

They were two Demon Dragons, one about 200 meters long and the other slightly smaller at 180 meters long. These two Demon Dragons were extremely ferocious, and the strength of their claws and tails was terrifying. They destroyed a city and killed three mysterious powerhouses who were also extremely strong.

“According to their performance in the video, one Demon Dragon’s strength is at Lv. 51, while the other Demon Dragon is about Lv. 48,” Ni Yun reported.

Xu Jingming’s expression turned solemn.

“Next.”

The third video showed a Giant Ape powerhouse appearing in the Ant Kingdom and killing two mysterious Ant powerhouses. Three Ant powerhouses managed to burrow into the ground and flee.

“According to our strength a.n.a.lysis, the powerhouses of the Giant Apes are at Lv. 52, and they are the strongest we’ve discovered to date,” Ni Yun reported. “Actually, these five mysterious Ant powerhouses are also very impressive. Their strength is generally above Lv. 30, but in front of the Giant Ape Clan… they are powerless.”

Xu Jingming waved his hand gently. “Leave first.”

“Yes, Boss.” Ni Yun left obediently and closed the door behind her, leaving Xu Jingming with a solemn expression as he watched the final scene of the video—the Great Ape powerhouse crus.h.i.+ng an Ant powerhouse to death with two fingers.

It was too unfair!

The growth difficulty of powerhouses born into the Ant race was a hundred times harder than that of humans, and countless times harder than that of the Giant Apes.

In the past year, many powerful high-dimensional lifeforms have attacked the weaker races. Xu Jingming frowned. They know very well that given enough time, those weak high-dimensional lifeforms can grow to the point of threatening them.

With 100 years having pa.s.sed, high-dimensional lifeforms of powerful species should have discovered that it’s very difficult to increase their strength, so they immediately took action.

Every species had a limit. It was easier for powerful species like the Mountain Demons to reach their limits, but much harder for extremely weak species like the Ants and Bees to grow. It took a thousand times more time and effort to reach the limit.

In the early stages, the species advantage was ma.s.sive.

The Mountain Demons were generally more than 50 meters tall, and they had strength exceeding Lv. 20 the moment they reached adulthood. Ants had to experience countless difficulties and dangers to reach Lv. 1.

Some terrifying existences like half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Overlords are very likely to turn into the weaker species. Therefore, attacking weak powerhouses is the easiest way to eliminate half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Overlords, Xu Jingming thought.

Humans are much stronger than the Ants, Bees, and other species, but they are much weaker than the Mountain Demons, Giant Apes, and other species. Xu Jingming frowned slightly. The strength they revealed when attacking weak species might not be their maximum strength.

And my maximum strength is only at Lv. 50. Xu Jingming also felt pressured.

In this world, technology and weapon materials are useful to warriors below Lv. 30, but increasingly weaker for warriors above Lv. 30. Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. The st.u.r.diest matter in the world can’t match my fist.

He used to carry a spear case, but there was no need for that now. Their strongest weapon was their bodies.

Buzz.

Xu Jingming’s watch suddenly rang.

It’s him? Xu Jingming frowned slightly and reached out to tap gently.

A deep voice sounded from his watch. “Ming! You must have seen many attack videos recently, right?”

“They are all high-dimensional lifeforms of powerful species targeting weaker species,” Xu Jingming replied. “I’m worried that these powerful species will come to attack our seven human countries.”

“It’s just as you expected,” the deep voice said.

Xu Jingming’s expression changed slightly.

“Based on the route two Giant Celestial powerhouses have taken, they might pa.s.s by our seven human countries soon,” the deep voice continued. “According to the a.n.a.lysis of many videos, there’s over a 90% chance they will attack the powerhouses of the seven human countries.”

“The strength of the two Giant Celestial powerhouses in the video is about Lv. 50, but because they were torturing their opponents to death, my companions and I believe their true maximum strength should be above Lv. 50,” the deep voice added.

Xu Jingming nodded.

“We can’t withstand such strength,” the deep voice said. “With their senses, they can detect our auras from 50 kilometers away. Therefore, we have to escape early.”

“Shadow, are you preparing to escape?” Xu Jingming asked.

“If we don’t escape, are we going to wait for death? We can’t defeat them now. In a few centuries, we might be able to suppress them,” the deep voice reasoned. “Do you want to leave with us?”

“I’ll act alone. Good luck,” Xu Jingming replied.

“You always act alone.” The deep voice sighed helplessly. “I wish you good luck too.”
