Cosmic Professional Gladiator - Chapter 444

Chapter 444: This is Just a Job (1)

Xu Jingming tapped and got ready. Let’s begin.

Buzz!

…

In an instant, the system had selected an opponent. Information about both parties appeared on the interface.

Information on the opponent—

Name: Schupra

Oohook Star Alliance Ranking: 21927

Hunter Cosmic Sector Ranking: None

Overall Universe Ranking: None

He’s also from the Oohook Star Alliance? Xu Jingming thought to himself. At the same time, the scene in front of him changed, and he entered the combat preparation space.

There was only Xu Jingming and a tall, swarthy man in the preparation space. They looked at each other.

This size! Despite being quite knowledgeable, Xu Jingming was a little surprised.

Schupra was more than five meters tall, and he was considered tall among cosmic humans. He had a bulky build, and he was as muscular as an upright bear.

Does Schupra have a similar body size in reality, or is it a deliberate disguise? Xu Jingming thought. In Life Evolution, names could be changed, and so could one’s figure and appearance. For example, he wore the looks used when participating in the mysterious land’s selection.

He appeared much sharper and colder than in reality. After all, he still disguised himself as a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform on Earth.

He naturally used his identity as Wu Ming in the Battle of the Universe’s Apex.

“Your name is Wu Ming?” Schupra laughed heartily. “I’m telling you in advance that I’m good at sledgehammers.”

Xu Jingming chose his weapon and equipment. He wore light armor, had a shield on his back, and held a spear.

Xu Jingming glanced at Schupra.

“Bro, you’re really straightforward. I get it; you’re good at spearmanship and shield techniques.” Schupra also chose a set of heavy armor. He carried a total of nine short spears on his back and held a sledgehammer in each hand.

He raised his eyebrows at Xu Jingming. This giant bear-like opponent did so in amusement.

This opponent at the limit of Lv. 8 is quite a lively one, Xu Jingming thought.

At this moment, there was a dense crowd of cosmic citizens in the spectator space.

“Schupra, hammer him to death!”

“Dance the sledgehammer!”

“I watch Schupra’s apex matches every day. His hammer technique looks simple, but why can’t I master it?”

“Schupra is going to win this match again. His opponent is also from the Oohook Star Alliance, but he’s only ranked around 30,000! It looks like he’s weaker than Schupra.”

As the audience chatted, a large amount of information flowed past.

As a peak Lv. 8 expert, Schupra had a large number of fans from participating in the Battle of the Universe’s Apex all this while! For example, the number of cosmic citizens watching this match exceeded 10 million.

Ten million cosmic citizens watching it at the same time meant significant popularity.

Huh? Xu Jingming also noticed that the number of viewers—10,085,621—was changing.

What? More than ten million cosmic citizens? Xu Jingming looked at the bear-like Schupra in surprise and thought to himself, I didn’t expect him to be a celebrity expert.

He hadn’t participated often, and very few viewers paid attention to him. It was already not bad if 100 people came to watch the battle today.

A spectatorship of over ten million? It was naturally because of his opponent.

I wonder what gives him such popularity. Xu Jingming casually checked the other party’s detailed information.

Heavens. The number of people following Schupra exceeded 1.8 billion!

After both parties finished choosing their weapons and equipment, the two entered the combat map.

The battle began!

******

This was a planet with a diameter exceeding 30,000 kilometers.

Boom!

Xu Jingming turned into a meteor and landed on the top of a mountain.

Xu Jingming looked into the distance. As a peak Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform, his eyes could clearly see Schupra’s figure more than a thousand kilometers away.

There are no other lifeforms on this planet. Xu Jingming swept his gaze and instantly scanned the entire planet before locking onto Schupra.

“Hahaha!!!” Accompanied by loud laughter that echoed throughout the entire planet, Shupra’s entire body erupted with dazzling light, and he quickly became huge. From a normal height of about five meters, he turned into a towering giant that was 50 kilometers tall!

The clouds were only at his knees, and his eyes seemed to look down from outer space with intense pressure.

“Physical Energy Manifestation!”

“Giant Schupra!”

Countless audience members were thrilled. After all, Physical Energy Manifestation required one to be at least a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform.

There were fewer peak Lv. 8s who were willing to become giants, and Schupra was one of them. It also made many viewers like him.

Physical Energy Manifestation, condensing energy into a giant? Xu Jingming saw through the other party’s actions at a glance and frowned slightly. Won’t the energy density decrease greatly when the energy condenses into a giant that’s 50 kilometers tall? His strength will decrease instead of rising.

The 50-kilometer-tall towering giant looked terrifying, but as a peak Lv. 8, Xu Jingming knew very well that one’s normal height was their strongest state.

His height of a few meters looked very ordinary, but his terrifying strength was completely concentrated. The might of every move and stance was extremely astonishing.

“Wu Ming, take these!” The towering Schupra laughed. Dressed in heavy armor, his two sledgehammers had become huge—even larger than the mountains.

In Battle of the Universe’s Apex, the weapons and equipment they chose could change in size.

At this moment, Schupra walked over step by step, crossing mountains, lakes, plains, and deserts.

Xu Jingming stared at his opponent seriously.

No peak Lv. 8 could be underestimated.

“This Wu Ming is still standing still! It looks like he doesn’t understand how powerful the sledgehammer is!”
