Chapter 1 Wow

"Wow."

"What's going on?"

"A flyer accident?"

People in the park exclaimed. Small flyers are the most common means of transportation in the Seven Nations of Humanity, as common as cars in the early days of Blue Star. With such a large number of flyers, accidents are bound to happen.

Xu Jingming kicked the flyer away at a terrifying speed, but people were used to it.

They had seen scenes ten or a hundred times more terrifying than this on the internet.

Inside the wrecked flyer's cockpit, the pilot saw Xu Jingming's figure in the distance through the windshield and his heart sank. "Not good, it's the target's son, Jingming, who possesses the terrifying strength of a Level 15 martial artist."

As martial artists' strength increases, their bodies become stronger and tougher, more resilient than rubber, with terrifying explosive power.

If a Level 20 legendary martial artist could effortlessly throw a hundred-ton truck tens of meters high like a toy and collapse a skyscraper with a single punch, then a Level 15 martial artist could kick a small flyer like a soccer ball! Even if a flyer crashed into a Level 15 martial artist, they would only feel a little pain and suffer no obvious injuries.

Therefore, the strength Xu Jingming displayed was in line with the standards of a Level 15 martial artist.

It was just that his speed in getting here was too fast! It only took about a second to get from his apartment to the park, which was the only flaw. But in the dark of night, no one could see it clearly.

"Jingming." Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu, husband and wife, walked over, relieved to be alive.

"Young Master Jingming." The two large bodyguards also hurried over. They were both Level 10 martial artists, and compared to the average person with Level 1 or 2 strength, they were considered experts. But if the flyer had crashed into them, they would have been seriously injured or killed.

The two bodyguards were in awe of Xu Jingming! He was at Level 15 at such a young age. Although it would get harder later, he had a chance to reach Level 18 in his lifetime, which would make him a martial arts master, and he might even have a chance to reach the legendary level.

"I was also taking a walk in the park and happened to see the flyer go out of control." Xu Jingming had a sharp look in his eyes. "This flyer going out of control is a bit strange. It didn't hit any obstacles, but suddenly went out of control and happened to be aimed at you, Mom and Dad."

"Jingming, what do you mean?" Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu were shocked.

"I'll see what's wrong with the pilot." Xu Jingming jumped up, drawing an arc, and leaped over seventy or eighty meters, landing with a thud on the surface of the wrecked flyer, which was half-floating on the lake.

"Help, help." The flyer pilot was stuck inside, with blood on his mouth and nose, but he was still alive and well. He looked at Xu Jingming ingratiatingly.

The pilot cursed in his heart, "According to the information I checked, Jing Yulong and his wife live separately from their son! Their son Jingming doesn't usually take walks in the park. How could it be such a coincidence?"

"I kicked the entire flyer away, and it was such a violent collision… and you're still alive and well?" Xu Jingming's icy voice came, and he reached out and pried open the twisted metal. The metal was very soft in front of him, and he pulled the pilot out!

Carrying the pilot, Xu Jingming leaped back to the shore and threw the pilot on the ground.

A group of people watched from a distance.

"What level martial artist are you?" Xu Jingming asked coldly.

"Level 9." The pilot didn't dare to lie, smiling obsequiously.

"The flyer suddenly went out of control without colliding with any obstacles? And it was aiming at people?" Xu Jingming looked at him. "And you're a Level 9 martial artist, how sharp is your reaction? You could have easily changed direction and avoided people."

"The flyer broke down, completely out of control. The control stick was useless." The pilot had a simple and honest appearance and tried hard to explain.

"Ding!"

Jing Yulong pressed his watch, recording the appearance of the simple and honest middle-aged man. The watch quickly gave feedback, which changed Jing Yulong's expression.

"Han Mo, lives in Dongsi District, a 'cleaner' with some fame on the streets." Jing Yulong's chubby face showed anger. "You think your identity is something the Jing family can't find out?"

As a member of the Jing family, especially with such an excellent son, Jing Yulong's position in the family had also risen. It was easy to investigate someone's identity.

The simple and honest man, 'Han Mo,' immediately showed a desperate look.

"Cleaner?" Xu Jingming's face darkened. The security in this world was very poor, with many gangs and bandits. The so-called cleaner… was an assassin! Someone who specialized in doing dirty work.

"Son, leave this person to me. I want to see who wants to kill me." Jing Yulong also had a fierce look in his eyes.

…

At his parents' house.

Xu Jingming sat in the living room patiently waiting. With his terrifying perception, he already knew the results of his father's interrogation.

The courtyard door was opened, and Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu walked in together, both looking a little annoyed.

"What's the result?" Xu Jingming asked.

"His mouth is very tight. I had someone from the family's 'Punishment Department' interrogate him." Jing Yulong shook his head. "The assassin doesn't know the identity of the mastermind. The mastermind contacted him through the internet and paid two million in advance. He would get another three million after a successful hit."

"Five million to take my wife and my lives?" Jing Yulong was very angry. He and his wife both had ordinary martial arts talents, one at Level 2 and the other at Level 1. Their ability to deal with danger was relatively weak, which was the true level of ordinary people.

What they were most proud of was that their son had extremely high talent!

"Who would spend five million to target you, Mom and Dad?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Jingming, have you offended anyone?" Jing Yulong asked.

"No."

Xu Jingming said very definitely, "Mom and Dad, you know that I've been diligently practicing martial arts these past few years. I'm usually at the Blackfire Club, and I haven't offended anyone."

Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu both nodded. Their son was very focused on practicing martial arts, and his usual social circle was mainly at the Blackfire Club. The Blackfire Club treated Xu Jingming like a treasure, so there couldn't be any major conflicts.

"Your mother is a full-time housewife and doesn't have any enemies either." Jing Yulong frowned slightly. "I have some conflicts in business."

"What kind of conflicts would make someone spend five million to hire an assassin?" Yuan Yu asked.

"He owes me four hundred million!" Jing Yulong said quietly, "Forcing me to go to court… Once I go to court, all his assets will be frozen and used to repay the debt, and he will go bankrupt."

"He owes so much?" Yuan Yu was shocked.

"Who?" Xu Jingming asked.

"The boss of Youfeng Company, 'You Feng.'" Jing Yulong said.

Xu Jingming got up. "Give me the address, I'll go catch him."

"If it's really him, he might have already gone into hiding." Jing Yulong said with a frown.

"I'll go take a look first." Xu Jingming had already gone out.

Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu watched their son leave.

"I'm a father who has to rely on his son to solve problems. Am I too useless?" Jing Yulong smiled bitterly.

"The other party has already hired an assassin. At this time, our son is better able to deal with the danger," Yuan Yu said. A Level 15 martial artist was already very powerful in society, and it would be difficult for a bankrupt 'You Feng' to hire a stronger helper.

…

In the dark of night, Xu Jingming stood by the side of the street, using his perception to remotely lock onto 'You Feng's' residence.

"No one's here. He's already gone into hiding." Xu Jingming frowned slightly. Everything was as expected. You Feng wouldn't naively stay at home.

Xu Jingming turned and left.

A moment later.

On a dirty, dilapidated street, the cold wind was blowing, and some trash was rolling on the street. A shop facing the street still had lights on. Xu Jingming stepped through the sewage and walked in, the stains unable to cling to him at all.

Xu Jingming pushed open the glass door and entered the shop.

A hunchbacked old man was squinting, watching a program on the light screen.

"Take whatever you want to buy yourself," the hunchbacked old man said.

"Hunchback Qi, I want to investigate someone," Xu Jingming said. Although he had been living a low-key life for ten years, with his perception ability, he could hear the voices of most of Jianghan City, and within ten miles, it was incredibly clear. So over the years, he had unknowingly learned many secrets.

The hunchbacked old man looked at Xu Jingming in surprise and laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Who do you want to investigate?"

"The boss of Youfeng Company, 'You Feng.'" Xu Jingming said, "I need to know where he is now."

"Him? I heard he owes a lot of debt. As for where he is? It will take a lot of manpower and resources to track him down," the hunchbacked old man said. "Three million, and I'll help you investigate! If there are no results within a month, the money will not be refunded."

"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded.

He knew very well that this seemingly ordinary hunchbacked old man was actually a member of the Jiu Gu family, who were the best at intelligence gathering. The Jiu Gu family was one of the top three forces in the entire Dongyun Nation.

"Transfer the money to the account of the Myriad Races Bank." The hunchbacked old man quickly took out the account number. Xu Jingming operated the light screen displayed on his watch and quickly made the transfer.

"Within a month, our intelligence network will collect all the news about You Feng. If we can't find him, there's nothing we can do," the hunchbacked old man said. Even though he was confident that it was the most powerful intelligence network in Dongyun Nation, he didn't dare to say that he could definitely find someone's location.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "There's one more thing. I want to buy body refinement techniques."

"Buy body refinement techniques?" The hunchbacked old man looked at Xu Jingming and shook his head repeatedly. "Body refinement techniques are all copyrighted and belong to various forces. I don't have any to sell here."

Pirating body refinement techniques was taboo and an infringement, and would be retaliated against by other forces.

But a genuine, complete body refinement technique was too expensive! Naturally, there were pirated versions, after all, text and video content could be easily copied.

"I want the biggest package, 3 types of legendary body refinement techniques, 25 types of master-level body refinement techniques!" Xu Jingming said very familiarly.

The hunchbacked old man looked at Xu Jingming in surprise and laughed. "It seems you know everything very well, so I won't hide anything. Let me make things clear in advance. Although these 28 types of body refinement techniques don't have 'supreme-level body refinement techniques,' each one is very good."

Xu Jingming nodded in agreement.

Legendary body refinement techniques referred to those that had produced Level 20 legendary martial artists.

Master-level body refinement techniques referred to those that had produced Level 18 martial arts masters.

"The body refinement techniques here are all pirated, so you can't make them public. If you cause trouble by using them publicly, you'll have to bear it yourself," the hunchbacked old man said.

Xu Jingming nodded. "I understand the rules."

"Genuine body refinement techniques are very expensive, but pirated versions have bigger discounts the more you buy. 28 complete body refinement techniques only cost 56 million," the hunchbacked old man said, smiling as he looked at Xu Jingming. "Still transfer to the same account as before."

Xu Jingming transferred the money directly without hesitation.

"Okay, it's transferred," Xu Jingming said, looking at the other party.

Both sides had accounts with the Myriad Races Bank. The Myriad Races Bank was known for its 'confidentiality and security.' Even if a race was destroyed, the Myriad Races Bank would still stand as before.

Xu Jingming's income was very high. As a Level 15 martial artist, he was considered to be in the upper class of society! He was the highest-level coach at the Blackfire Club. He taught three classes of 150 students, and his share of the tuition fees alone was close to 2 million each month. With one-on-one private lessons, and the fees for granting the club 'image rights' for advertising, his income this year was nearly 30 million.

"Refreshing."

The hunchbacked old man immediately took out a storage device from a box. "These are the 28 types of body refinement techniques. Return it to me after you copy them."

Xu Jingming reached out and took the storage device, connecting it to his watch. The watch immediately began to record the information, and Xu Jingming watched as well.

"Very good." Xu Jingming returned the storage device.

"Welcome to come again in the future. You know, I have a lot of good things here," the hunchbacked old man said with a smile. This young man was so familiar with the rules, so he welcomed such customers.

Xu Jingming was also very satisfied.

Genuine body refinement techniques were not only expensive, but different forces also had various additional conditions.

Pirated versions were simple, less than 10% of the price, with no additional conditions. Of course, there were also drawbacks. On the one hand, they couldn't be made public, and at the same time, there was no master to guide you. Without a master to guide you, it was difficult to cultivate a body refinement technique to a very high level.

Of course, for Xu Jingming, who had surpassed all martial artists in the history of the Seven Nations of Humanity after ten years of cultivation, these body refinement techniques were only for reference.

"28 types of body refinement techniques are in hand." Xu Jingming walked out of the shop facing the street, feeling very happy. "That's enough for me to study for two or three years. Recently, I have to find a way to help my parents solve the problem of 'You Feng.'"

Having descended into this world and become the son of Jing Yulong and his wife, Xu Jingming would naturally play the role of 'son' well in this life, and he would not allow assassins to threaten his parents.
