Chapter 132: Era of Global Evolution
Translator: CKtalon
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December. Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were watching some livestreams after dinner.
“Miaomiao, are you sure you want to hold our wedding in the virtual world?” Xu Jingming asked. According to the original plan, they would register their marriage on New Year’s Day and find an auspicious day to hold their wedding.
Li Miaomiao smiled and said, “It’s the era of the virtual world now, so holding a wedding in the virtual world is much easier. Moreover, you can set up any scene you want. Friends from all over the world can attend… It’s not easy for friends to travel to attend a wedding in reality.”
!!“True.” Xu Jingming nodded. “It’s just that I keep having the feeling that it might be more formal in reality.”
“I think it’s quite good; it’s a new era after all. You have to adapt to this era. Do you care?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“It’s you I’m worried about.”
Xu Jingming smiled and said, “Alright, holding it in the virtual world does have many advantages. More friends can attend, and the scene will be more breathtaking.”
“Even for the government departments, people had to register their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau in the past,” Li Miaomiao said. “Now that the evolutionary method is widespread, they’ve already canceled the marriage checks. People can register their marriage at the virtual world’s Civil Affairs Bureau.”
“Information is interconnected,” Xu Jingming said with a nod. “Most illnesses can be resolved using evolutionary methods. There are digital records for every citizen, so the marriage check has lost its meaning.”
Back when the two families sat down and discussed the marriage registration and wedding, it was done considering a wedding in reality. However, the actual event would now be held in the virtual world.
“Times have changed too quickly.” Li Miaomiao sighed with emotion. “It feels like the world has entered a new era in the past six months.”
“Perhaps the changes in the future will be greater,” Xu Jingming said.
In the future, would Earth’s civilization have more contact with the universe?
From the fact that he had the chance to possess the Cosmos’ Xuan, it was possible that Earth’s civilization had a deep relations.h.i.+p with all the humans in the universe. It was just that it wasn’t completely publicized.
Xu Jingming didn’t dare to slack off in the face of the prevailing trend of the times, so he worked harder.
“Jingming, how has your cultivation been recently?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“Progress is slow.” Xu Jingming shook his head gently. “The further one goes into Lv. 4, the harder it is to improve. In fact, my improvement was fast for a period of time when I summarized the nine martial arts cla.s.ses, but it slowed down afterward.”
“I cleared Cosmos Tower’s fourth floor on October 28,” Xu Jingming said. “It’s already the middle of December, and my best spear technique—Beam Transformation—is only at Lv. 4 83%.”
Li Miaomiao comforted him. “Didn’t you say that progress will slow down the further one progresses? This is normal.”
Xu Jingming didn’t say anything.
In fact, he had never obtained a complete legacy. He had only possessed the cosmic legend, Xuan! Therefore, in terms of cultivation, he was mostly groping his way forward and constantly summarizing.
Although he had summarized a system he could call his own, it was still very nascent.
Many of the world’s top experts probably had complete legacies.
The Martial Arts Center’s score ranking will end at the end of the month, Xu Jingming thought. When that happens, I can exchange contribution points for a complete legacy. I’ll see what the universe’s complete legacy is like.
According to the information China had gathered, one would improve faster in the early stages by choosing a complete Lv. 8 legacy. This was because detailed pointers were provided at every obstacle. Xu Jingming had encountered many problems, but he didn’t have detailed pointers and relied on himself to figure them out.
The advantage of possessing a cosmic legend was that he might go further in the future. After all, he had come into contact with those levels in advance.
If he had enough resources, his cultivation would be smoother with both resources.
“Jingming.” Li Miaomiao also looked at the livestreams on the projection and sighed with emotion. “The Earth Alliance’s launch of the ‘Martial Arts Center’ and getting the world’s top experts to teach martial arts is indeed a brilliant move! It’s only been a month or so, but there’s been a martial arts craze sweeping the world. The compet.i.tion between the different schools is very intense. It feels like every school of thought is trying to emerge supreme.”
“Having different martial arts bounce off ideas can produce many sparks.” Xu Jingming nodded and praised, “I’ve also watched many people’s livestreams and received some inspiration from their teaching courses.”
Bouncing off ideas from different perspectives gave people around the world all kinds of knowledge about martial arts.
Many times, one’s martial arts realm also depended on their understanding. The deeper one’s understanding was, the further one could go.
“There are more and more Divine experts these days.” Li Miaomiao sighed.
“Just like hundreds of years ago, most people in China were illiterate. Who would’ve thought that China’s education would become so widespread that almost everyone gained culture and knowledge?” Xu Jingming said. “People from decades ago couldn’t imagine the spread of global welfare. It’s even to the point where everyone has an evolutionary method that allows them to enter the virtual world.”
“This is a new era,” Xu Jingming said. “The Earth Alliance probably wants more and more humans to enter Divine, or even become stronger.”
“Divine experts aren’t considered experts anymore,” Li Miaomiao stated. “In Global Crossfire, Divine experts are only rookies. Lv. 3 experts are considered experts. Lv. 4… are the world’s top experts.”
“In the future, the overall strength of people around the world will increase,” Xu Jingming said. “It’s not easy to stand at the apex in the face of such roaring tides.”
“You’re at the top now,” Li Miaomiao said.
“Haha, it’s hard to say. Perhaps others will improve faster.” Xu Jingming smiled. “Akinov, Zhao Fan, and the others are all improving rapidly.”
With that said, Xu Jingming also checked the Martial Arts Center’s overall ranking.
“Your total score is now second.” Li Miaomiao watched. “Your number of paid downloads is comparable to Master Liu Hai’s, but your evaluation is 8.6 while Master Liu Hai’s is 8.7.”
“Be it first or second, I’ll receive quite a lot of contribution points.” Xu Jingming felt that it was normal for his master to be ahead of him. His master’s teaching was indeed easier to understand.
“But your reviews are improving,” Li Miaomiao said. “I’ve seen many livestreams that say… As they cultivate, they think your cla.s.ses are better. There are many similar livestreams.”
With that said, Li Miaomiao switched the projection’s program, randomly finding a livestream.
“I’m 98 years old, and my evolutionary method has reached Intermediate. My level is Divine.” A middle-aged man with black hair looked rather pleased with himself. “I’ve studied many schools, and I’ve discovered that the three strongest people in the world are fully deserving of their t.i.tles. Liu Hai, Xu Jingming, and Tejano teach very well, but… After cultivating for a long time, especially when I encounter a bottleneck and find it difficult to break through, Xu Jingming’s method is still the best.”
“Teacher Liu Hai’s method focuses on practice. Practice it more than 10,000 times a day, and with sufficient build-up, you will eventually break through. But how many people can persist when they find themselves stagnant? Would they continue to squeeze themselves dry?” The host shook his head. “Tejano’s method is even more rigid—it’s to keep repeating his training plan. No improvement? Repeat!”
“Xu Jingming’s method is the best. He explains the key ideas clearly, giving you a clear direction to pursue.”
“When you are stuck at a bottleneck and are lost, having a clear direction is very important. It gives you the motivation and confidence to train,” the host said. “His footwork, might transmission, relative speed… The key to all kinds of battles is clearly described. I strongly recommend giving Xu Jingming a perfect score! The review can only be changed once a day. As a Chinese person, you should give Xu Jingming a perfect score!”
Xu Jingming laughed.
“We didn’t hire any people to fake the results,” Li Miaomiao said. “This 98-year-old grandpa is definitely a loyal fan.”
“In fact, you, Master Liu Hai, and Tejano have too many downloads—all three of you have more than five billion downloads. In other words… Most people will pay to download your course. This leads to the three of you being far ahead in total points. The person temporarily ranked fourth is Akinov. He has more than 1.5 billion downloads—not even a third of yours. Therefore, the compet.i.tion from fourth to tenth place is very intense. In the livestreams of various countries… They are encouraging the citizens of their own countries to give their domestic experts a perfect score.”
“Yeah, the top three are pretty much decided. The compet.i.tion for fourth to tenth place is intense.” Xu Jingming nodded. “Especially the eighth to tenth places—their names often change.”
Those ranked 11, 12, and 13 tried their best to raise their total score.
All kinds of publicity were carried out around the world! This was because only the top ten earned contribution points.
“However, one shouldn’t incite people to give their opponents a zero rating,” Li Miaomiao said. “As long as anyone in a livestream dares to incite people to give others a low score, they will be banned from the livestream.”
Xu Jingming smiled and looked at the overall ranking.
The first three were as utterly stable, but the compet.i.tion for the rankings behind the top three was intense.. The world’s top experts also tried all kinds of ideas.
