Chapter 367 Global Attention

The new list, with its single name, quickly attracted global attention.

"Impressive."

"Number one in the world, Xu Jingming!"

"He's finally number one in the world." People from all over the world came to the Star Tower and looked up at the name on the new list.

Di Jianuo also came to the tower. He silently looked at the name and frowned. "Xu Jingming succeeded? I'll try again!" With that, he rushed into the Star Tower. Only three minutes later, Di Jianuo was kicked out.

"I used forbidden techniques and secret skills, but still failed." Di Jianuo looked up at the name on the list. "This is my last time in Blue Star challenging this Star Tower. I can't be too embarrassed."

With a whoosh, Di Jianuo's aura suddenly soared as he transformed into a cosmic lifeform.

After all, he was a cosmic lifeform in reality and could transform at any time!

"Phew." Di Jianuo charged into the Star Tower again.

Ten seconds later!

A new name appeared on the new list.

Star Ranking (Fifth Level)

Number One in the World: Xu Jingming (Xia Country)

Number Two in the World: Di Jianuo Xilei (Bovaana)

"Hmm."

Di Jianuo stood outside the tower, looking up at the two names on the list. Only then did he reveal a satisfied smile. "I, Di Jianuo, have left my mark on Blue Star. As for the future sixth and seventh levels of the Star Tower, I won't challenge them."

Di Jianuo lightly tapped the viewing platform and looked at the various livestream rooms.

Like what Xu Jingming and the others saw, apart from the global livestream, the others were national livestreams. As for Di Jianuo… he could see the livestream of any country in the world; he had very high clearance.

"After Xu Jingming passed the fifth level of the Star Tower, Di Jianuo Xilei passed it in just five minutes."

"These two are truly in a league of their own."

"In the future, they will probably be far ahead of everyone else in the world."

Livestream rooms around the world were discussing animatedly, marveling at Xu Jingming and Di Jianuo Xilei! Be it their performance in the competition finals or their performance in the fifth level of the Star Tower, the two of them were far ahead of the others.

"From now on, I'll be a legend! People of the Blue Star civilization, you will never see me again." Di Jianuo Xilei smiled and turned around, leaving.

…

"What is Envoy Di Jianuo doing?" Liu Hai looked up at the two names on the huge list, somewhat puzzled.

He also attended the previous meeting and knew Di Jianuo's true identity.

Xu Jingming challenged it, so he challenged it too?

…

"Rare indeed." Director Zhou looked at the video in front of him, which was of Xu Jingming passing the fifth level of the Star Tower. "The opponent in this fifth level is set at 80% fifth-order swordsmanship and 80% fifth-order footwork! Although their combat skills are slightly weaker, their strength, speed, agility, and other aspects have overwhelming advantages… One generally has to become a cosmic lifeform to pass the fifth level. I didn't expect Xu Jingming to succeed while still being a planetary lifeform."

"He's a transcendent genius," the secretary beside him praised. "By the way, Envoy Di Jianuo also passed, but we have no authority to view the video of him passing."

"Can't see the video?" Director Zhou nodded slightly.

"But we know a little. Envoy Di Jianuo took less than ten seconds to pass," the secretary said in a low voice.

"Less than ten seconds?"

Director Zhou smiled. "This envoy is a wonderful person."

******

Outside the atmosphere of Firefly Star, Di Jianuo was sitting on the protective shield of a floating spacecraft, with a suspended light screen in front of him. He could easily see the livestream rooms of various countries on Blue Star, watching them praise Xu Jingming and him, Di Jianuo Xilei.

"The feeling of being praised by the entire nation is quite good." Di Jianuo suddenly closed the light screen and sighed softly, "Unfortunately, I'm not a true genius."

Di Jianuo silently looked at the starry sky, his thoughts drifting.

Suddenly—

A fluctuation appeared, and a phantom appeared in front of Di Jianuo. It was a silver-gray-haired man who was much wider and fatter. His hair was only about a centimeter long. Coupled with his wide, fat head and smiling expression, he looked a little cute.

"Father." Di Jianuo immediately stood up. The person in front of him was his father, whom he had always admired—Chi Meng!

"Di Jianuo, your mission as an expatriate is coming to an end," Chi Meng said with a smile. "What do you plan to do next?"

Di Jianuo thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being."

"Don't drift with the tide." Chi Meng shook his head gently. "Actually, your mother and I weren't too happy that you joined the Cosmic Human Alliance and took on the mission of supervising and protecting a newly advanced civilization. Because the spacecraft AI can monitor supervision and protection at any time, it's equivalent to you being idle for more than 30 years." (The language of the cosmic civilization is translated into Chinese, so the time in the universe is all described in years, months, and days.)

"I'm not playing; I'm working," Di Jianuo retorted.

"Don't argue."

Chi Meng looked at his son. "I understand that you haven't found your direction, so I tolerated you spending more than 30 years like this. Now that this mission is coming to an end, I'll ask you: Have you found your direction?"

"Direction?" Di Jianuo was slightly stunned.

"I've told you before that it's very difficult to cultivate to the ninth level. Your mother and I don't expect you to definitely do it, but you must have your own pursuits, your own direction," Chi Meng said.

"I haven't decided yet," Di Jianuo said, lowering his head.

"You don't have to give me a definite answer when the mission ends," Chi Meng said. "You have to think carefully about what you want to do with your long life. Even if it's for fun, I hope you can have some achievements."

"Fun is okay?" Di Jianuo's eyes lit up. That was good!

"For example, create a virtual world that belongs to you," Chi Meng said. "Being among the top 100 virtual worlds in the entire Cosmic Human Alliance can be considered an achievement."

"Most of the top virtual world companies in the universe have a long history, most of them over a billion years old, and their groups have trillions of employees," Di Jianuo couldn't help but say. "Father, your demands are too high."

"This is the minimum requirement for you," Chi Meng said indifferently, "because you are my son."

Di Jianuo lowered his head.

"Think carefully. Give me an answer when the expatriate mission ends, and then work hard," Chi Meng said.

"Okay," Di Jianuo replied.

Chi Meng smiled slightly as he looked at his son's appearance. He was actually quite satisfied with his son. He never dared to expect his son to have high achievements in evolution. As long as his son had a normal mentality and didn't become a mischievous person, he would be relieved.

Immediately, Chi Meng's figure disappeared.

"Sigh."

Only after his father left did Di Jianuo look at the starry sky in disappointment. "Must have my own pursuits? My own direction?"

"Where is my pursuit, my direction?" Di Jianuo didn't know. He really wanted to be as outstanding in evolution as his father and mother, but it was too difficult, and he was daunted.

"Think about it slowly. Anyway, there's still almost a year." Di Jianuo consoled himself.

…

While the world was discussing Xu Jingming and Di Jianuo passing the fifth level of the Star Tower, Xu Jingming was walking with his pregnant wife under the night sky.

He had to accompany her for a walk every day.

A walk in the morning and a walk in the evening!

"Di Jianuo is also quite impressive. He's only five minutes behind you," Li Miaomiao praised.

"He is quite impressive," Xu Jingming said, but he thought to himself… Did Envoy Di Jianuo challenge it with the body of a cosmic lifeform? Of course, Xu Jingming only muttered in his heart. The Blue Star civilization was very weak now and didn't dare to offend Envoy Di Jianuo in the slightest.

The courtyard door opened, and the two walked home.

"Enter the virtual world." The couple put on their virtual helmets together.

…

Virtual world, Xu Jingming's personal space training ground.

His wife went to call her friends to play, while Xu Jingming began to practice the evolutionary method alone. He tried both the cosmic lifeform chapters of the *Tianmang Evolution Method* and the *Chimang Evolution Method*.

"I've failed dozens of times. Let's try again." Xu Jingming began practicing the cosmic lifeform chapter of the *Tianmang Evolution Method*.

Every move, every stance, he tried to mobilize every cell in his body.

Whoosh!

The cultivation of the cosmic lifeform chapter was very slow. In fact, it caused changes throughout the body by mobilizing countless cells. Xu Jingming vaguely felt as if he had turned into a huge tianmang (sky python), with the power of countless cells transmitting and gathering…

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, countless cells transmitted, conforming to a certain pattern. For a moment, countless cells in Xu Jingming trembled, as if awakened from a dormant state! They all became extremely hungry, and the surface of his skin and even his hair naturally began to absorb the energy of light.

At this moment, his body was evolving towards a cosmic lifeform!

(End of this volume)

The Blue Star volume of the novel *Cosmic Professional Gladiator* officially ends at 520,000 words. After this, it will be entering the universe. The Blue Star civilization will also be leaving the protection period and will experience the trials and tribulations of the universe.

Tomato will rest for two days. These two days are also for carefully considering the cosmic plot.

The day after tomorrow, updates will resume.
