Chapter 66 Difficult to Win the Top Three?

"Is it that difficult to win the top three?" Xu Jingming asked, his fighting spirit ignited. "I want to see who my opponents are!"

Time passed day by day. Xu Jingming's life remained very regular, with most of his time devoted to cultivation and, of course, accompanying the pregnant Li Miaomiao. In reality, he also consumed a high-energy food stick every day, practicing the perfected evolutionary method.

"Hoo hoo hoo~~~" Xu Jingming, while practicing the evolutionary method, emanated terrifying heat waves that surged powerfully.

Li Miaomiao stood at a distance, watching.

Only after completing one round of the evolutionary method did Xu Jingming stop.

At the moment of stopping, Xu Jingming completely contained himself! All cells were devouring energy, and Xu Jingming's body no longer emitted any fiery aura.

"He can contain it completely when he wants to?" Li Miaomiao exclaimed in amazement. "Jingming, the movements you make while practicing the evolutionary method are getting bigger and bigger."

"When practicing the evolutionary method, I must fully immerse myself, and I can't contain my aura," Xu Jingming said, smiling as he approached. "But it will be soon; I'll reach the Planet level of life soon, in at most a month or two."

Ordinary people only needed 98 days to reach the Planet level of life.

It had been more than half a year since the virtual world opened, and his physical fitness had already improved significantly, so two months at most should be enough.

"Crack, crack." Xu Jingming took out a high-energy food stick that he had placed aside. It was long and shaped like a chocolate bar, with a slightly sweet taste and an allure that made all his body's cells tremble slightly.

So delicious! He finished the high-energy food stick in a few bites.

His stomach immediately felt hot, and a large amount of energy began to rapidly transmit throughout his body. The cells in his blood, bones, organs, and everywhere else were absorbing the energy.

"Is it really that delicious?" Li Miaomiao asked, watching with envy.

"It is quite delicious, but the virtual world has all kinds of delicacies," Xu Jingming comforted. "Miaomiao, just bear with it a little longer!"

"Yes, I'll try it after giving birth to the baby," Li Miaomiao nodded. The high-energy food stick was too high in calories; even if she only took a tiny bit, like one percent, it would still be over a thousand calories. But how much burden would this high-energy food put on her body? Neither of them was sure.

Although Director Zhou had said it was okay to eat, Li Miaomiao was pregnant after all, so no matter how curious she was, she decided to hold back.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April.

In the dark of night.

In Mingyue City, a figure flickered a few times and left the villa district, leaping over a hundred meters high to land on the roof of a five-star hotel. When landing on the roof, Xu Jingming's feet were very gentle, perfectly unloading the force, making almost no sound.

"According to the virtual helmet's detection, my physical fitness in reality has reached 1002," Xu Jingming thought.

In the virtual world, he had directly increased his physical fitness from around 700 to 1521, but in reality, he had to improve it slowly.

"With this kind of physical fitness, I'm a real superhuman in reality."

Xu Jingming jumped down.

Leaping off the high-rise hotel and landing on the grass, the grass only shook slightly. Xu Jingming then dashed out like an arrow. He was like a ghost, traveling through the city's suburbs, quickly heading towards more remote areas.

His speed was too fast; the speed of cars and pedestrians became very slow.

"I've already controlled my speed, otherwise it would create too much commotion," Xu Jingming thought, controlling his speed to around 200 meters per second, because the faster he went, the greater the wind resistance and the greater the commotion. Even at a speed of 200 meters per second, he had to stay away from the crowds.

Are there pedestrians ahead?

Then he would leap, jumping hundreds of meters away before landing, avoiding the pedestrians.

Hearing, sight, nerve reaction ability… Xu Jingming had reached an incredible level.

"The Yangtze River."

Xu Jingming ran to the bank of the Yangtze River, leaping hundreds of meters in one step to land on an island in the middle of the river. He strolled around the island, then took another step, the ground under his feet trembling slightly, and Xu Jingming leapt towards the opposite bank.

"Someone!" Seeing someone at the intended landing spot from afar, Xu Jingming immediately stepped on the air. With the speed of his legs, stepping on the air would create sonic booms, as if the air were a solid substance, creating considerable resistance.

He took a few steps in the air, shifting to another open and desolate roadside to land.

Xu Jingming took a deep breath; the night air was a bit chilly.

"My control over my body is indeed very precise." Xu Jingming came out for a run to familiarize himself with his strength in reality. Although the virtual world was nearly 100% virtual, he still had to familiarize himself with reality.

He couldn't fight in reality, so he would just run.

When running, he had to observe all directions and carefully listen to everywhere in order to avoid disturbing others.

"Time to return!" Xu Jingming turned around and headed directly towards the mighty Yangtze River.

In the face of Xu Jingming's speed and super body control, the river water was like the ground, making it easy to borrow strength. Stepping on the river water was no different from stepping on the ground. He ran back the same way, extremely fast, returning to his home.

Xu Jingming had recently become quite fond of 'running' exercises and would run a lap every night.

"Ding—"

Above Blue Star, invisible fluctuations enveloped the entire planet.

"In Mingyue City, the highest speed of human movement is 212 meters per second, confirmed to be Xia Country's Xu Jingming." Blue Star's global security system immediately identified Xu Jingming. In the security system, this was just a notification and not even an alarm.

...

Binhai City.

Pang Yun, lying in bed, took off his virtual helmet and went downstairs to the living room, where a woman was watching a program on the light screen.

"Mom," Pang Yun said, walking over, with worry in his eyes. "What exactly happened to Dad? It's been almost half a year, and he's been in the secret room without coming out?"

The house had a special secret room with a floating sphere inside, which was the device his father used to log into the virtual world.

Now, for nearly half a year, his father had not stepped out of the secret room!

"I also looked for Dad in the virtual world, but he closed all communications, and there's no way to contact him," Pang Yun said, somewhat worried. "Could something have happened to him?"

The woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Dad said that this matter is quite important and may take a year and a half. He told us not to worry."

Pang Yun nodded.

Ding—

Suddenly, a sound rang out.

The woman and Pang Yun both showed joy, even getting up to walk towards the secret room.

The secret room door was silver-gray all over and could not be destroyed by external force. The entire secret room was built as a whole and emitted a charming luster. This secret room was also one of the safest places on Blue Star. Even a hydrogen bomb with a yield of hundreds of millions of tons could not damage this secret room in the slightest.

The secret room door opened, and Pang Ze walked out with some fatigue.

"Dad," Pang Yun said, his eyes turning red.

"I've been too busy recently; nothing's wrong," Pang Ze said with a smile.

"You used to log off every day. Even if you were really busy, you would only stay in the secret room for three to five days," Pang Yun said worriedly. "But this time, it's been almost half a year."

The woman also asked, "Did something happen?"

"I suffered a big setback," Pang Ze nodded, frowning. "It's the biggest setback I've had in the last ten years! But the result is still good."

"A setback?" the woman asked worriedly. She knew very well how much responsibility her husband shouldered.

Pang Ze comforted her, "A setback is also a good thing. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. The bigger the setback, the more experience you can gain."

The family sat down, and a sumptuous dinner was prepared.

"Dad, the courses you assigned me, one is Cheng Zihao's case file, and the other is Fang Yu's case file. You gave me a score of 50 for Cheng Zihao's course. I sent you the answers to Fang Yu's course a long time ago, but you haven't graded it yet, and you haven't explained it to me either," Pang Yun said.

"Oh…" Pang Ze had been busy with major events in the cosmic civilization recently, and only now did he remember his son's courses.

"After dinner, I'll talk to you about Cheng Zihao and Fang Yu," Pang Ze said, his mind still mostly on the things in the virtual world network.
