Chapter 1 The Celebration Banquet

In the virtual world, a celebration banquet was being held on Li Miaomiao's island. Relatives and friends gathered, and various delicacies and wines were available.

"I never thought that the little guy who was once my disciple could become number one in the world," Dai Tongda said, drinking the immortal wine, feeling light and blissful, and admiring, "And he's willing to buy immortal wine in the virtual world for his master to enjoy. My daughter isn't even this generous."

Xu Hong said with a smile, "So you have to thank me. I was the one who got you to take Jingming as a disciple."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have to thank you. Come, let's have a drink." Dai Tongda raised his glass and clinked it with Xu Hong.

On the other side, Li Miaomiao, Wang Yi, Dai Xiaoqing, Sister Kong, Xiao Zeng, and other women were chatting and laughing, while Xu Jingming, Yang Qingshuo, Heng Fang, Liu Chongyuan, and other men were together.

"Look, the whole internet is talking about Old Xu now." Heng Fang opened the viewing platform and then clicked on a live broadcast room.

"At 9:59 last night, Xu Jingming of our Xia country successfully defeated Tiano Xire and won the championship of the 31st World Martial Arts Competition." The host of the live broadcast room said with great passion, "And in this competition, Tiano and Xu Jingming both demonstrated incredible skills. Now, I will explain it to everyone..."

Heng Fang then clicked on the next live broadcast room.

"The first 30 World Martial Arts Competitions were held in reality. There were very few participants in reality, and the arena matches also had various rules to protect the safety of the participants. Many people retired due to injuries, age, and other reasons. The gold content is far less than the 31st competition! This is the only competition that can be called a competition among billions of people, and Xu Jingming is the strongest among billions of people..."

Another live broadcast room—

"Xu Jingming is so powerful now. How strong will he be in ten or twenty years?"

Xu Jingming and his friends ate, drank, and chatted, watching the live broadcast rooms flash by.

"Xu-ge, you've really become a big deal this time." Yang Qingshuo praised.

"It just so happens that I caught up with this era." Xu Jingming said. If the virtual world hadn't arrived and the evolutionary methods hadn't been popularized, it would have been difficult for him to win the world competition with an injured leg.

...

More than an hour later, Xu Jingming returned to his personal training ground alone.

"Finally, it's quiet." Xu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief.

Today was a day of global attention and national celebration. Friends and relatives all came to congratulate him, and Xu Jingming had only now found some free time.

"I haven't had time to check my Starfield life evolutionary method." Xu Jingming thought, and then gently clicked on his personal combat power panel—

Gene Evolution Method: *Tianmang* Evolution Method (Perfect) (Practice time 98 days, cannot be improved)

Body: 1521

Skills: Hua Hong Spear Technique (Fifth Order 51%), Starfall Spear Technique (Fifth Order 47%), Footwork (Fifth Order 43%), Shield Technique (Fifth Order 33%)

Base Combat Power: 501930

Combat Bonus: 500%

Combat Power: 3011580

"Wow." Xu Jingming glanced at it. The skill improvements were all expected, but the combat bonus was a bit amazing. "A 500% combat bonus? Is this the Transcendent level?"

"I remember when I used the Hua Guang Thirty-Six Chain Strikes, I only had an advantage over Tiano, forcing him to use powerful body burst-type moves. At this time, my combat bonus was probably around 300%." Xu Jingming thought, "It was only later that I comprehended the 'Water Flow' spear principle, and relying on this to use Transcendent-level moves, that the combat bonus soared to 500%."

What is Transcendent level?

Turning decay into magic! With the same strength and speed, it can explode with incredible combat power.

Tiano, in terms of body, forbidden techniques, and secret skills, surpassed Xu Jingming in everything! But he still lost!

"The evolutionary method for the Starfield life stage." Xu Jingming gently clicked on the gene evolution method column.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a figure condensed and appeared, a woman in a green shirt.

"Hello, Xu Jingming." The woman in the green shirt said with a smile, "I am a virtual world guide. You can ask me any questions you have."

"I should have obtained the gene evolution method for the Starfield life stage, right?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Yes."

The woman in the green shirt nodded, "Because in the Planetary life stage, you cultivated the *Tianmang* Evolution Method. In the Starfield life stage... you have two choices, one is the *Tianmang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter, and the other is the *Chimang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter."

"*Chimang* Evolution Method?" Xu Jingming asked in confusion.

"The ten gene evolution methods publicly available on Blue Star are actually the ten most basic evolution methods of human civilization in the universe. The subsequent evolution of many evolution methods is based on these ten." The woman in the green shirt said, "The *Tianmang* Evolution Method has two choices in the Starfield life stage, one is the *Tianmang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter, and the other is the *Chimang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter. The two routes have essential differences. For details, you can read the content of the evolution methods."

"As for which one is more suitable for you, you can first cultivate and experience it in the virtual world." The woman in the green shirt said with a smile, "And in the real world, once you have chosen an evolution method and become a Starfield life, you can no longer change it."

"Understood." Xu Jingming nodded.

There is no turning back in reality.

*Tianmang*? *Chimang*? Xu Jingming was quite curious about these two evolution methods.

The woman in the green shirt waved her hand gently, and two extremely thick books appeared in mid-air. They were both very large and thick books, one was the *Tianmang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter, and the other was the *Chimang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter. The thickness of the books was about twenty or thirty centimeters.

The two heavy books slowly landed on the stone table. The woman in the green shirt smiled and said, "If you have any questions, you can summon me in the personal panel." After saying that, she disappeared.

Xu Jingming sat down and chose to read the *Tianmang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter first.

"Starfield life..."

"After reaching the fifth order and being able to control cells at the cellular level, you can try to cultivate the *Tianmang* Evolution Method Starfield Life Chapter and try to guide the cells to absorb light energy. Once successfully absorbed, every cell in the body will begin to transform." Xu Jingming looked at the book and nodded slightly.

According to the book, the higher the control over cells, the higher the probability of successful cultivation. Generally, after reaching 50% of the fifth order, you can succeed after trying a few more times.

Once successful, the cells slowly absorb light energy, and each cell transforms. The human body naturally crosses to a new level, which is Starfield life.

"A newly formed Starfield life has a lifespan of three thousand years, can live without eating or drinking, fly between heaven and earth, and even travel in the universe." Xu Jingming looked at the description and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Even the weakest Starfield life can easily crush a Planetary life.

"Even me, even Tiano, our speed is only a little faster than the speed of sound. And according to the book's description, a newly formed Starfield life is about ten times the speed of sound."

"Moreover, the evolutionary path of Starfield life is very difficult to break through at every step."

Xu Jingming looked at the description.

Many Starfield lives are suffering at different stages, groping step by step. If they can climb to the eighth order! You can reach the 'Starfield life Perfection' level, with a lifespan of up to ten thousand years.

"The vast majority of elementary human civilizations in the universe cannot give birth to eighth-order powerhouses in their civilization." Xu Jingming was shocked, "As for after the eighth order, that is a higher level of life than Starfield life."

The book did not describe much about after the eighth order.

"An elementary civilization in the universe, in the entire history of its existence, mostly cannot give birth to an eighth-order powerhouse?" Xu Jingming now understood how difficult the eighth order was.

Before, when he possessed Xuan and Ambros, he felt that the ninth and tenth orders were not too far away.

Now he realized that the ninth order was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Buzz."

Xu Jingming suddenly received an email, immediately stopped reading, and gently clicked on the email.

"Beijing time, June 8th, 9 am, Blue Star Alliance, summoning us to meet?" Xu Jingming looked at this invitation notice, thoughtfully.
