Chapter 14 A New Beginning

Xu Jingming was immersed in the wonderful feeling of his life essence being elevated, every cell in his body undergoing transformation. Similarly, every cell in his 'brain' was also transforming. The cells absorbed external energy to transform, and the brain's brainwaves and the neural signals of the neural network became much stronger.

"This feeling is truly wonderful." Xu Jingming opened his eyes, clicked on his personal combat power panel, and with a light tap, raised his body to its growth limit. "In the virtual world, with a simple tap, every cell grows to its limit. But in reality, every cell in the body needs to slowly absorb energy, and it takes a long time to grow to its limit."

"This feeling."

Xu Jingming looked around, the canyon of the training ground, everything was incredibly clear.

Even a weed or a pebble several miles away, Xu Jingming could see the texture on the weed and the dust on the pebble.

The range of sounds he could hear also increased, the high and low frequencies, the sounds of nature instantly became much richer.

The brain's processing ability soared a hundredfold, making it easy to control all sensory information.

"Is this the power of a Starry Sky lifeform?" With a thought, Xu Jingming had a faint glow on his body, and he began to slowly rise and fly.

"Flying, it's that simple."

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming suddenly turned into a stream of light, flying within the training ground.

"The training ground area is expanded to one hundred kilometers." After a simple setting, Xu Jingming flew freely, easily tearing through the air and generating sonic booms. Under the protection of the faint light on his body, Xu Jingming's skin was not affected by the wind at all, and he could clearly observe his surroundings.

"Starry Sky lifeforms, every cell is transformed and strengthened. At the same time, every cell also contains cosmic energy." Xu Jingming thought, "It is this cosmic energy that allows Starry Sky lifeforms to fly easily."

Without cosmic energy, one would have to rely on the power of the physical body.

"Swish."

Xu Jingming reached out, and a black spear appeared in his hand.

"Too light, too light." Xu Jingming casually shook the spear, feeling it was too light, and immediately adjusted the spear's weight, increasing it to a full 120 tons before he felt comfortable.

"Just this spear alone weighs 120 tons, the density must be astonishing." Xu Jingming secretly sighed, "It probably wouldn't be easy to forge such a weapon in reality."

But such density must be very common in the universe, like the matter on white dwarf stars and neutron stars, which is many times denser.

He himself was only in the initial stage of a Starry Sky lifeform.

"Hoo~~~"

Xu Jingming began to unleash his spear techniques to his heart's content.

From high altitude to the ground, even to the distant lake. With energy protecting him, fighting in the water was also easy and unrestrained.

After practicing his spear techniques, he also practiced his shield techniques! Only after thoroughly enjoying himself did Xu Jingming stop.

"This is the Heavenly Python Evolution Method, the strength of the initial stage of a Starry Sky lifeform." Xu Jingming looked at his personal combat power panel—

Gene Evolution Method: *Tian Mang* Evolution Method (Heavenly Python Evolution Method) (Starry Sky lifeform, Initial Stage 8%)

Body: 100800

Skills: *Hua Hong* Spear Technique (Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique) (Fifth Order 87%), Star River Spear Technique (Fifth Order 82%), Footwork (Fifth Order 75%), Shield Technique (Fifth Order 78%)

Base Combat Power: 43.3 million

Energy: 10.1 million

Actual Combat Bonus: 560%

Combat Power: 352 million

Reminder: Please break through in reality as soon as possible and become a Cosmic Citizen.

"My Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique directly increased to Fifth Order 87%?" Xu Jingming smiled, this was only natural.

Every cell transformed, and the brain naturally transformed.

The brain's transformation naturally greatly enhanced the mind and consciousness! The control over every cell in the body was also greatly strengthened.

"From the combat power panel, the perfect combination of strength from every cell in the body, the burst of base combat power, is stronger than energy." Xu Jingming nodded slightly, "But cosmic energy is more convenient to use, and can even be released over a wide area."

Boom!

With a thought, Xu Jingming saw a faint glow suddenly burst out from his body, instantly expanding in all directions. With him as the center, an area of more than a li (Chinese mile, approximately 0.3 miles) was completely covered by this faint light, and completely destroyed! Countless rocks were riddled with holes, and countless trees and plants were shattered.

"A large-scale eruption consumes about one-third of the energy in my body." Xu Jingming was a little shocked when he saw this scene, "The destructive power of a Starry Sky lifeform is too strong, one strike can destroy an area with a diameter of about three li."

In close combat, the speed of physical strength is obviously more terrifying.

But for large-scale destruction, cosmic energy has the advantage.

"Blue Star Civilization should have some restrictions on Starry Sky lifeforms. Otherwise, a slight outbreak would be too threatening to ordinary people." Xu Jingming thought.

"Let's try the *Chi Mang* Evolution Method (Red Python Evolution Method)."

Xu Jingming was not in a hurry to break through in reality, but in the virtual world, he first returned to the 'Planetary lifeform Perfected' stage, and continued to try another evolution method.

With the breakthrough experience of the *Tian Mang* Evolution Method, this time it only took three experiments for the *Chi Mang* Evolution Method to successfully break through!

"Hmm?"

After cultivating the *Chi Mang* Evolution Method and transforming into a Starry Sky lifeform, Xu Jingming's body became a bit more burly and robust, and also appeared more fierce. The cosmic energy was light red, and he also tried practicing spear techniques and shield techniques.

"Comparing the two evolution methods."

"The *Chi Mang* Evolution Method strengthens the body a bit, and the strength and defense are stronger." Xu Jingming nodded slightly, "The toughness, speed, and flexibility are slightly reduced. But the decrease is not too much."

Is it worth it to exchange a slight decrease in toughness, speed, and flexibility for a partial increase in strength and defense?

"From the perspective of spear techniques and shield techniques, the *Tian Mang* Evolution Method is more suitable for me." Xu Jingming thought, "Moreover, in terms of compatibility, the *Tian Mang* Evolution Method has a higher degree of compatibility."

*Tian Mang* Evolution Method, Starry Sky lifeform chapter, cultivation verification, compatibility 99%.

*Chi Mang* Evolution Method, Starry Sky lifeform chapter, compatibility 98%.

…

Xu Jingming practiced for another day in the virtual world, and after becoming more proficient in the evolution method, the next morning, after eating breakfast, Xu Jingming came to the courtyard to prepare for the breakthrough.

In the courtyard, next to a large tree, Xu Jingming stood quietly. The morning sun in June was already quite hot, and it shone all over the courtyard.

"Jingming is going to break through?" Li Miaomiao stood in the living room, watching through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Suddenly—

Xu Jingming began to practice the *Tian Mang* Evolution Method's Starry Sky lifeform chapter. His whole person was like a Heavenly Python slowly rising, countless cells in his body were mobilized, and the power was transmitted between the cells, in accordance with a mysterious law. At this moment, countless cells in his body seemed to be awakened from sleep, instinctively roaring and eagerly absorbing external energy.

The morning sun shone on his skin and hair, and was naturally absorbed, and the energy was diverted to countless cells.

The body began to slowly transform.

"In reality, to absorb enough energy, you need to sunbathe often, and the absorption speed is really slow." Xu Jingming felt that the little sunlight absorbed by his skin was a drop in the bucket for the countless cells in his body. He couldn't help but take off his short sleeves, exposing all other parts of his body, wearing only a pair of shorts, and sat cross-legged in the courtyard, letting the sun shine on him.

The area where he was located was dim and blurred, because most of the light that shone on him was swallowed up, and would not be reflected or refracted! Only a very small number were reflected and refracted, so the whole person naturally appeared dim and blurred.

"Success?" Li Miaomiao watched. In the past, Xu Jingming's practice of evolution methods caused great movements, but this time there were no heat waves, but rather a dark and restrained feeling.

…

The 'Planet Security System' of Blue Star Civilization has always enveloped the entire planet. At the moment Xu Jingming broke through and began to absorb sunlight, the Planet Security System also detected it.

"A new Starry Sky lifeform is born in Mingyue City, Xia Country. Confirming identity, Xu Jingming from Xia Country." The Planet Security System confirmed the information, "Information synchronized to the Blue Star Life Evolution Headquarters and the Xia Country Life Evolution Bureau."

After the information was synchronized.

Xia Country, Life Evolution Bureau.

Director Zhou, who was reading a file, had a message pop up on the screen in front of him.

Director Zhou looked up and couldn't help but show a happy expression: "Xu Jingming has broken through! Our Xia Country has another Cosmic Citizen!"
