Chapter 1 An Origin

A virtual world.

"Coach Liu."

"Hello, Coach Liu."

"Coach Liu."

A group of eighth-order Starry Sky lifeforms greeted Liu Hai with smiles. Liu Hai returned their greetings, smiling as he walked to the edge of the field, holding a cup of Blue Star tea. He watched the eighth-order Starry Sky lifeforms train.

Liu Hai practiced the Raging Tiger Evolution Method for a long time, but when he smiled, he resembled a large cat.

There was no trace of ferocity, only gentleness. "I never expected that someone like me, who has just entered the eighth order, would be invited to be a coach for the 'Luke Team'." Liu Hai sighed inwardly, "After all, the Luke Team is a professional team ranked in the top five of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, and the main players are all at the eighth-order limit. The requirements for the coaching team are extremely high. Although I am not the head coach, but only one of the nine assistant coaches. However, this group of team members, even those in the second team, are all eighth-order Starry Sky lifeforms. To be invited here, on the one hand, I have some advantages in terms of skill, and on the other hand, and probably the main reason, is that I am Xu Jingming's master!" Liu Hai felt the immense help that came with being Xu Jingming's master. People like Xu's father and Dai Tongda could only be considered Xu Jingming's enlightenment masters. After Xu's father and Dai Tongda entered the universe, their evolutionary achievements were also ordinary. Liu Hai was different. He was once the head coach of the national team for a long time. Even after entering the virtual era, his skills once suppressed Xu Jingming for a period of time! Even now, hundreds of years later, he is still the second person on the Blue Star Civilization's evolutionary path, second only to Xu Jingming! Although the Blue Star Civilization has greatly expanded its territory, its growth time is too short. Excluding immigrants, Liu Hai is indeed the only native Blue Star person to reach the eighth order. After Liu Hai reached the eighth order, the top power, Galaxy Group, made an exception to invite Liu Hai to become a peripheral member of the Galaxy Group. The Galaxy Group missed Xu Jingming once, but this time it took the initiative to recruit Liu Hai. "To be able to become a peripheral member of a top power... Most likely, it's also because I am Xu Jingming's master." Liu Hai was very self-aware. After all, an eighth-order Starry Sky lifeform of such an old age would not be qualified to enter a top power under normal circumstances. "I am unwilling to accept too much help from the Pearwood Group, but unknowingly, my disciple has helped me a lot." Liu Hai thought.

"Coach Liu." A staff member walked over, quite politely. "Your class is about to start."

"Alright." Liu Hai got up and put away his teacup.

All the team members gathered, and even the other coaches were watching from the sidelines, all very friendly.

Where there are people, there is struggle. But among so many powerful people in the Luke Team, Coach Liu Hai was the most detached! No one dared to provoke him. Even the big boss behind the Luke Team, an Origin lifeform, respected Coach Liu Hai very much.

After all, this was Xu Jingming's master!

Liu Hai only taught saber-shield techniques. He used the ideas of Taiji as the essence, drawing on the mysteries of various weapon techniques in the universe, and constantly enriching himself. After nearly five hundred years of growth, coupled with the supply of some resources from the top power, Galaxy Group, Liu Hai could be regarded as one of the top eighth-order Starry Sky lifeforms in terms of skill alone. He was indeed a peerless genius in terms of skill.

After his class ended, Liu Hai sat aside again with a smile, holding his teacup and watching the other coaches teach.

"Hm?" Liu Hai suddenly received an invitation. "Jingming is contacting me?"

Liu Hai was surprised and delighted, and immediately accepted the invitation with a light tap.

Xu Jingming's personal space.

Liu Hai looked at his disciple in front of him, his expression slightly changed.

"Master, sit." Xu Jingming had already gotten up to greet him, and had also prepared some wine and food.

Liu Hai looked at his disciple. He focused on the path of skill, and could sense that Xu Jingming was now like a terrifying darkness, containing emotions such as coldness and recklessness.

Liu Hai pondered in his heart, still smiling as he sat down, "Jingming, have you been in seclusion for the past hundred years? I couldn't contact you."

"Yes, there were some things." Xu Jingming also sat down, pouring wine for his master, "How have you been, Master, these past hundred years since we last met?"

"Me?" Liu Hai laughed, "My days are still the same, absorbing various skills from the universe, perfecting my Taiji lineage. How about we spar?"

"Spar?" Xu Jingming was surprised. "Let's limit our physical strength to the level of ordinary planetary lifeforms." Liu Hai explained, "Without relying on cosmic energy, without relying on the impact of mental power, just a competition of skills, how about it?"

"…Okay." Xu Jingming was also quite curious about his master's progress over the years.

Soon, they arrived at a personal training ground. In a valley with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Xu Jingming and Liu Hai each held weapons. One held a long spear, and the other held a saber and shield.

After many years, the two sparred again!

"Jingming seems to have changed a lot compared to a hundred years ago. I should be able to see more from his moves." Liu Hai thought to himself, and then spoke. "Jingming, be careful."

*Boom.*

Liu Hai instantly rushed out.

Xu Jingming smiled and also went up to meet him.

Two afterimages clashed, the long spear and the saber shield!

*Clang clang clang!*

After a series of exchanges, Xu Jingming was secretly surprised. "I have fought with so many experts in the Battle Generals World for so many years. In terms of weapon skills, Master can be ranked in the top ten in the Battle Generals World." Xu Jingming secretly exclaimed, "Master has integrated many skills into the theory of Taiji yin and yang, using yin and yang to explain the skills, and even combining them to explain…"

As soon as they exchanged blows, Xu Jingming felt the terror of Liu Hai's saber-shield skills.

However, Xu Jingming's spearmanship now exceeded the scope of skills. He had embarked on the path of spearmanship of the mind! He had already laid the foundation. He used spearmanship to temper his mind! Every spear naturally resonated with the Void Abyss.

"Hm?" Liu Hai discovered the horror of his disciple as soon as they exchanged blows. "Jingming's moves are not just pure moves, nor do they have mental attacks. But they are even more shocking."

"It's like seeing a meteor shower, feeling beautiful. Seeing a vast lake without a ripple, like a super huge piece of jade, brings shock. Seeing a rainbow after the rain, it's like a dream. His moves are too agile. A long spear is like a living being."

Liu Hai also noticed the difference. In the same amount of time, he could only change his moves five times, while Xu Jingming could change his moves ten times! He could easily crack his moves.

After dozens of exchanges, Xu Jingming left a mark on his master's chest.

"Haha, I lost." Liu Hai laughed, laughing happily, "Jingming, oh Jingming, when I saw you today, I felt that your aura was completely different from the past, and I thought something big had happened. But after an exchange, I realized… your aura is the manifestation of your spearmanship will. Isn't it said that weapon skills are useless at the Origin lifeform stage? It's all about studying various sciences, studying the composition of Origin Force." Liu Hai asked doubtfully, "But I feel that your spearmanship completely transcends the scope of skills."

"Sincerity in the spear, using spearmanship to temper the mind." Xu Jingming said.

"Using the path of weapons to temper the mind?" Liu Hai pondered, "I have heard of this saying. The Battle Generals World in the virtual world is on this path. Is it really useful?"

"Master can try it." Xu Jingming said with a smile. Without being affected by high-dimensional pollution, purely using the path of weapons to temper the mind is not dangerous at all. After all, it is to make one's mind more pure and much easier. "I have prepared a gift for you, Master." Xu Jingming invited, "Have you heard of Ice Flower Spirit Liquid?"

Liu Hai was stunned and waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, no need."

"What's wrong?" Xu Jingming was taken aback.

Liu Hai smiled, "I have it."

"You have it?" Xu Jingming immediately guessed, "Master, you have been recruited into a top power? You were recruited, so you also received Ice Flower Spirit Liquid." Liu Hai invited.

Xu Jingming immediately felt happy for his master. The help he could provide was piecemeal, while the cultivation of the top power was systematic. His master should also have received the inheritance and could grow more smoothly. "Congratulations, Master." Xu Jingming said.

"I'm benefiting from your light, hahaha… Master knows very well how much he weighs." Liu Hai smiled brightly.

Liu Hai continued, "Jingming, inside the top power, I heard those peripheral members discussing that everyone believes you should become a Cosmic Legend faster than Chi Meng and the others! I heard that you have already reached the tenth-order limit. Are you confident in becoming a Cosmic Legend?"

"It's quite difficult." Xu Jingming said.

"You kid are just being modest." Liu Hai shook his head, "I watched you rise step by step, and I know your character very well. You will be modest until you break through."

Xu Jingming smiled. This time, it's really difficult! "Our Blue Star Civilization is fortunate to have someone like you," Liu Hai sighed, "Our generation used to be under a lot of pressure, but now that you have become an Origin lifeform, we are all relaxed, haha… Yes, that's really good."

Xu Jingming immediately continued to pour wine for his master.

Xu Jingming accompanied his master for half a day, and his master left happily. Xu Jingming understood, "As for those outside Blue Star, like Qu Fang, Qiu Qingke, and some others, there is no need to meet them. After all, I was helping them before. Whatever level they can grow to in the future is up to fate. Qu Fang was once the number one fan, wholeheartedly helping those weak indigenous planetary lifeforms." Xu Jingming admired Qu Fang very much and gave Qu Fang a lot of help. Although he held a small number of shares, he actually did not receive any dividends. Qiu Qingke was a young man that Xu Jingming had trained while stationed on the border. During his days on the border, Xu Jingming had also incidentally trained several young geniuses. But after helping to a certain extent, it would depend on their individual abilities. "Outside Blue Star, the one who is truly kind to me and has helped me the most is Diano." Xu Jingming knew this clearly. Without Diano, the fate of the entire Blue Star Civilization would have changed drastically.
