Chapter 5, Level 7 Chapter 2: Sacrifice of 10,000 Gold
Xu Jingming walked into the towering Star Tower and came to the sixth floor.
"I failed once half a year ago and never tried again."
Xu Jingming appeared in mid-air, wearing a modern sportswear and holding only a spear.
Xu Jingming looked at the bustling metropolis in front of him. The skyscrapers were even more magical than in reality. On the top of the skyscraper right in front of him was a man in a black robe.
The man in black robe stood by the swimming pool on the rooftop, overlooking the city. Suddenly he noticed something and looked at Xu Jingming.
"A stink bug?" The man in black robe looked at Xu Jingming, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Xu Jingming from a distance.
I saw light spots shooting out from his five fingers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five spots of light drew strange arcs and attacked Xu Jingming from different angles.
Xu Jingming stood in mid-air, his body covered with a hazy light. The light spots shot through Xu Jingming, and his figure turned into illusion and disappeared. He appeared only three meters away.
The man in black robe frowned slightly and stopped controlling the light spots. The five light spots drew a parabola and fell into the distance.
“Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.”
Some of the light spots fell and collided with a skyscraper, causing the entire skyscraper to explode, and the shattered debris also affected the surrounding buildings.
Some light spots fell on a stadium. Boom! The entire stadium exploded and rolled, even affecting the surrounding buildings.
Some of the light spots fell into the river, blew up the bridge, and the river water hit both banks.
Five explosions! Each one was terrifying.
Xu Jingming was used to it.
This is the destructive power that a top-level sixth-order star life form can cause at will!
"Show your strongest strength, otherwise you will have no chance to attack." Xu Jingming said. He didn't want to delay and let the opponent on the sixth floor of the Star Tower gradually burst out with strength.
"Hmm?" The black-robed man raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Use my strongest strength?"
Wow.
The man in black robe disappeared out of thin air, and when he reappeared, he was already next to Xu Jingming. A terrifying knife light flashed across where Xu Jingming was!
"As you said..." The man in black robe appeared to teleport to Xu Jingming's side. When he slashed with the knife, he uttered a few words, but his face changed before he finished speaking.
Xu Jingming stood in the air without moving. He held the gun in one hand and moved the gun slightly to block the knife.
The man in black robe looked shocked and angry.
"It seems that your strength is not that strong." Xu Jingming shook his head slightly.
"puff."
The man in black robe had no time to react as the spear had already pierced through his chest. The natural force of the spear caused the man in black robe to completely turn into dust and dissipate.
"I have reached the seventh level, with the combat bonus... Looking at the entire universe, I am considered the most terrifying of the sixth-level starry sky life forms. It would be a bit of a bully to deal with you with one hand." Xu Jingming also felt that it was too easy.
"You've passed the sixth floor and are preparing to enter the final seventh floor of the Star Tower. Friendly reminder: Only after you reach the eighth level can you hope to pass the seventh floor." A gentle voice came to my ears.
When Xu Jingming heard this, his expression froze.
After all, his spearmanship had only reached the seventh level, and his evolution method was still at 99% of the middle realm of star life. He had never thought that he could get past the seventh level.
"I originally thought that the top seventh-level masters could pass the seventh level. Who would have thought that our Blue Star civilization set the difficulty very high, and only the eighth level can hope to pass it?" Xu Jingming thought, but became more and more curious.
You can lose! But you also have to look at your opponent on the seventh floor.
The scene before his eyes changed, and Xu Jingming had already arrived at the seventh floor of the Star Tower.
…
The seventh and final floor of the Starry Sky Tower! The highest level of difficulty set by the Blue Star Civilization.
This is a lonely planet.
“Whoosh.”
Xu Jingming appeared high in the sky and was falling uncontrollably towards the surface of the planet.
The surface of the planet is a dark brown rock layer, with no plants and no water.
"What is that?"
As Xu Jingming fell , he finally saw a huge creature lurking on the surface of the earth.
This creature was lying there, more than a hundred meters tall and more than five hundred meters long, like a low hill! It had cyan skin with a few red patterns, and it looked a bit like the dinosaurs that had appeared in the history of Blue Planet.
It's just a little too big.
“Huh~~~~~”
“Suck~~~~~”
This creature was sleeping, and its breath naturally formed a terrifying storm! The storm swept over a hundred miles around, and its might made Xu Jingming stunned.
"Can breathing create a storm with a radius of over a hundred miles?" Xu Jingming suddenly felt the invisible magnetic field of life when he was landing.
It is the life magnetic field possessed by this huge creature!
Any outsider would be met with "hostility". When Xu Jingming fell, he obviously invaded its life magnetic field.
"Not good." Xu Jingming felt inexplicably panicked when he fell into the other party's life magnetic field.
The terrifying life magnetic field also had a natural reaction when it sensed the invasion of other life. Thunder and lightning appeared one after another within the range of the life magnetic field! Crackling! Countless thunder and lightning appeared without any warning.
Xu Jingming didn't have time to react.
The cosmic energy that protected his body was extremely fragile in the face of the thunder and lightning.
The whole person was "evaporated" by the thunder and lightning.
"I..." Only the word "I" remained, and Xu Jingming had turned into nothingness.
…
"So perverted?"
Xu Jingming appeared outside the Starry Sky Tower, still a little confused. "Even if I reach the high level of Starry Sky Life, I will probably be killed in one move. No wonder I was reminded that I can only pass at the eighth level."
Xu Jingming was speechless.
The Blue Star civilization is obviously inspiring the people back home to work hard and strive to reach the eighth level!
The eighth-order star life is a goal that many elementary civilizations in the universe are looking forward to. After all, most elementary civilizations cannot produce an eighth-order life in their entire history!
As for the ninth level? Everyone just kept it in mind.
"Huh?" Xu Jingming noticed that next to the towering Starry Sky Tower, a new huge list had been unfolded next to the three volumes of the Starry Sky List, and there was only one name on the list.
Starry Sky Ranking (Sixth Level)——
World No. 1: Xu Jingming (Xiaguo)
"Just me?"
Xu Jingming looked at another list next to him. On the fifth level, the second person ranked was Tiyanuo.
"Your Excellency Tiyanno, you will have to leave when the civilization protection period ends," Xu Jingming thought.
…
Fluorescent Mars.
Tijano sat on the outer wall of the spaceship in a daze.
"What on earth should I do?" Tijano was very troubled. "When the civilization protection period ends, my mission will end. I must give my father an answer."
He had many thoughts, but was hesitant.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a prompt message popped up. Ti Yanuo looked at the message that appeared in the air and blinked. "This Xu Jingming has already passed the sixth floor of the Starry Sky Tower?"
“Is this… a true genius?”
Tiyano whispered softly, "And I am only a fifth-level star life form now."
Ti Yanuo stretched out his hand and clicked on Xu Jingming's personal information. As an envoy of the Universal Human Alliance, he was responsible for protecting the entire Blue Star civilization during the civilization protection period. During this period, he could naturally investigate a large amount of information about the Blue Star civilization.
The information about Xu Jingming at that time was also found out.
"I should have known not to watch it." Tiyanuo said with a bitter face.
Because the information is clearly written - level seven!
“They’re already at level seven, and I’m only at level five.” At this moment, Tiyanno realized how weak his talent for evolution was.
Maybe it's because of laziness?
Maybe it's really because of poor talent?
In short, Tiano understood that he really had no way to compete with Xu Jingming and the vast number of geniuses in the universe, and he would be left further and further behind.
"My father is Chi Meng! How can I bring shame to my father?" Tiyano also has his own pride. How can he endure being trampled in the dust?
"The evolutionary path won't work, and the academic path..." Tiyano muttered, "I'm not cut out for that either."
"Then there is only one way!" Ti Yanuo nodded, "Become a boss and let geniuses like Xu Jingming work for me! If I can't become a strong man, I will become the boss of many strong men!"
Tijano has already determined his direction.
His advantage is his network of relationships!
As a father, his network of relationships spreads across the entire universe human alliance. With such a huge network of relationships, as long as he knows how to use people, he will naturally be able to prosper quickly.
"When I get up, I will invite Xu Jingming to work for me." Ti Yanuo thought happily, then clicked on the light screen and began to check a lot of information, preparing for starting a business.
…
The news of breaking through the sixth floor of the Starry Sky Tower also caused a stir in Blue Star, but Xu Jingming did not pay attention to it. The countdown to the civilization protection period made Xu Jingming feel a sense of urgency and he dared not relax.
In the bloody rain world, in the imperial capital, in Fei Mansion.
"Jingming pays his respects to Lord Fei." Xu Jingming bowed respectfully to Fei Qing.
Fei Qing's face was gloomy and a little tired, but his eyes were still calm and firm. Seeing Xu Jingming, Fei Qing rarely smiled: "Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
"Since I came to the imperial capital, I have been taken care of by you, adults. I am very grateful. But now I need to leave the imperial capital for some time, and I am not sure when I will come back, so I came here to say goodbye." Xu Jingming said .
"You want to leave?" Fei Qing was puzzled. "Are you dissatisfied with being an ordinary Blood Rain Guard and want to leave?"
"no."
Xu Jingming shook his head. "I am very grateful for your cultivation. I have to leave the capital to deal with personal matters. I have just broken through to the super first-class realm and have sufficient strength. After dealing with personal matters, I will return to the capital and continue to serve you."
"Top-notch?" Fei Qing was surprised and looked at Xu Jingming carefully.
"When do you think you can come back?" Fei Qing asked.
"If everything goes well, we will be able to return in a few months," Xu Jingming said. "If something unexpected happens, we can't be sure."
Xu Jingming was not quite sure what would happen if he offered sacrifice to the mysterious place.
"good."
Fei Qing nodded, "What can I help you with?"
Xu Jingming's heart moved, and he said, "I have made three good friends in the imperial capital, and I trust them very much. I hope that in the future in the Blood Rain Guard...the three of them can help me."
"How strong are the three?" Fei Qing asked.
"One is a first-rate master, and the other two are second-rate masters." Xu Jingming said.
It has been more than two months since the last time they dealt with the Yang family team. Zhang Qing has also reached the sixth level and possesses the strength of a second-rate master.
"Send their names and household registrations to my house." Fei Qing said, "The Blood Rain Guards are recruiting new members recently. We can build a team with these three as the core. They will be under your command in the future."
Xu Jingming was delighted. To form a team with his master as the captain and Tu Ling and Zhang Qing as deputy captains?
When Wang Jiuyan led the army to conquer the Western Regions, he also drew a lot of people from the Blood Rain Guards in the imperial capital. Recently, the Blood Rain Guards have indeed been recruiting new people, but the conditions are relatively harsh. With Fei Qing's help, the master and the other three will be settled.
My original plan was to find a way to let my master and his men serve as my personal guards first when I recruited personal guards after I became a centurion in the Blood Rain Guards.
The results are much better now.
"If they are in the imperial capital, you can bring them here so I can meet them," Fei Qing said.
"I will bring them here immediately." Xu Jingming said immediately, "I will take my leave first."
Watching Xu Jingming leave, Fei Qing pondered: "He has become a top-notch master so quickly? I'm in the imperial capital, and there are too few masters around me! This is a time when masters are urgently needed." He secretly brought many masters from the Eastern Region to the imperial capital, but compared with those big families and the royal family, they were still too weak.
…
On that day, Xu Jingming took Liu Hai, Zhang Qing and Tu Ling to meet Fei Qing.
The three of them also created new accounts, and their appearances were different from when they dealt with the Yang family before, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered. The new accounts naturally had very clean records.
"Master, you can stay at my place for the time being and be ready to take office at any time." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"As soon as we arrived, we were made captain and vice-captain?" Tu Ling was also surprised and delighted. "I heard that it is very difficult to enter the Blood Rain World's capital's Blood Rain Guard, so it is even harder to compete for the captain and vice-captain positions."
"Mr. Fei said it was because of Jingming's recommendation," Liu Hai said, "Obviously it was because of Jingming's face."
Xu Jingming said secretly.
I guess it was because I said one more thing...I have reached the top level! That's why Master Fei is so kind.
"I need to sacrifice 10,000 gold and go to a mysterious place. I can't appear in the Blood Rain World in the next few months, so you have to be careful." Xu Jingming reminded, "Now that you have an official status, you have to be more careful in what you do. Once you die... this identity will be gone."
"Don't worry." Liu Hai and Zhang Qing both smiled. They were both much older than Xu Jingming, so Tu Ling had experienced less.
…
After Xu Jingming said goodbye to his master and others, he went to a secluded residence alone.
During the previous looting operations, he rented many houses in the imperial capital to hide his identity.
“Boom boom boom.”
In the evening, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Xu Jingming, wearing a human skin mask, opened the door to greet them. Outside the door was the amiable old man named "Mr. Zhang".
"Brother Jing, this is rare ." Old Zhang said with a smile, "You were selling gold before, but are you buying gold this time?"
"I also want to sacrifice 10,000 gold and go to the mysterious place to take a look." Xu Jingming said.
"This is three thousand nine hundred gold." Old Zhang took off a belt from inside his robe, took out pieces of gold from the belt and placed them on the table.
Xu Jingming also brought a box from the side and placed it on the table. The box was also full of gold.
Although Xu Jingming has been practicing his marksmanship diligently for the past two months, he has not stopped his business at Qishalou, and occasionally takes orders. As he reaches the level of a top-notch master, he naturally gets a lot of bounties.
"Opportunities in a mysterious place." Old Zhang said, "Most people who go in there gain very little. But for those who do gain a lot, it's like reaching the sky in one step."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
He knew this; Pang Ze had said it all.
"It is certainly not easy to achieve success overnight. You have to be patient and look for the opportunity that suits you." said Mr. Zhang.
Xu Jingming's heart moved and he said, "Thank you."
Mr. Zhang left immediately. Xu Jingming saw him off and closed the gate.
After returning to the house and taking off the human skin mask, Xu Jingming looked at the gold on the table, then lightly tapped on his personal panel. A column called "Sacrifice" appeared in his personal panel.
Only if you have '10,000 gold' will you have the option of 'sacrifice'.
Xu Jingming clicked on the sacrifice item, and then his whole body began to glow, and the light also covered the gold on the table.
"It's started." Xu Jingming was also extremely looking forward to it.
He has been working towards this opportunity since he became a citizen of the universe.
Wow!
Xu Jingming and ten thousand gold coins disappeared out of thin air.
