Xu Jingming was 25 years old, and he had dark-red hair that made him stand out in the Black Fire Club in Jianghan City, the capital of East Cloud Nation—one of the seven human nations.

"Coach, this move doesn't feel right no matter how I practice it," a young girl complained.

Xu Jingming approached her and helped her adjust her body's posture. "Your movement must be done freely. Imagine there is a wooden plank in front of you—you have to feel as though your palm can pierce through the wooden plank. Ni Yun, this is all very basic knowledge. You should sign up for a basic class."

Ni Yun leaned against Xu Jingming and wheedled, "Coach, I think you're the best teacher in the entire club."

"I think you're being too obvious," a girl beside her snorted.

"Tian Yuwei, shut up." Ni Yun immediately glared at her.

Xu Jingming looked at the time on the wall and said, "Alright, that's the end of today's class."

He lifted the spear case he had customized and turned to leave.

He tried his best to limit his time at the Black Fire Club and taught only three classes.

There were more than 150 students in the three classes, and about two-thirds of them were female. Many female students hit on Xu Jingming. After all, he had reached Lv. 15 in martial arts at a young age, and he was single. Moreover, he was a member of the Jing family, so he naturally attracted many women.

"Why isn't Coach tempted at all when I'm hitting on him?" Ni Yun muttered as three other girls walked over.

"Sister, I'm really impressed with your persistence," Ni Xin, her younger sister, commented with a smile.

"Give up, Ni Yun. Coach Jing clearly doesn't have any feelings for you," Ni Fu, her elder sister, said.

"I think you'll scare Coach Jing if you keep this up. You should be gentle, just like me." Her youngest sister, Ni Yu, had a slightly plump face thanks to her baby fat.

"Like you? You wouldn't win him over given eight centuries. Look at how many people have their eyes fixated on him." Ni Yun ruffled Ni Yu's hair.

The eldest sister, Ni Fu, was the first to know Xu Jingming, and she was also one of his students early on.

Ni Fu praised Xu Jingming at home, and soon, her three sisters registered for Xu Jingming's class.

Ni Fu and Ni Xin quickly gave up, but Ni Yun and Ni Yu refused to give up. However, their way of pursuing him was different.

"Coach Jing is so young, yet his martial arts have reached Lv. 15! Is the Ni family worthy of him? Only our Tian family and Coach Jing are considered compatible," Tian Yuwei said as she walked over.

"Why don't you take a look in the mirror?" Ni Yun scoffed. "You're not even 1.5 meters tall."

"That's right!" Ni Yu said.

"All four Ni sisters are dreaming," Tian Yuwei scoffed and left.

Carrying his spear case, Xu Jingming left the Black Fire Club.

The many species are all equal, but it's quite chaotic among humans. Just revealing my Lv. 15 strength to the public has made so many girls chase after me. Xu Jingming felt helpless. When he first descended into this world, he dropped out of school and focused on martial arts.

As the capital, there were many top martial arts clubs in Jianghan City, but Xu Jingming chose the Black Fire Club because it was close to his home.

I revealed the growth speed of an ordinary genius, reaching Lv. 1 at the age of 16, with my level increasing rapidly by 2 every year early on. I reached Lv. 9 at the age of 20, but slowed down afterward… I'm 25 this year, and at Lv. 15, Xu Jingming thought. It's a very steady display of strength. It's not too amazing to reveal such strength, but I can be considered rather talented, thus easily obtaining resources.

As long as one is talented, it's usually not too difficult to reach Lv. 15. The further one goes, the harder it is to reach the next level.

Only at Lv. 18 can one be considered a grandmaster, and Lv. 20 is considered a human legend. It's a strength that can truly intimidate an area.

The strongest in the seven human nations is only about Lv. 23.

Of course, this excludes high-dimensional lifeforms. Xu Jingming knew very well that high-dimensional lifeforms were all impressive. Most of them had clones in the outside world, and with the clones thinking and improving the body tempering techniques, they could quickly perfect them on many levels.

Although I've kept a low profile for ten years, I've also cultivated to Lv. 28. As for those half-step third realm experts? Those born into powerful species are probably much stronger, Xu Jingming thought.

Although he could defeat those legendary powerhouses with a single finger, he didn't feel smug at all. This was because the previous Myriad Species Arena's number one, Kabermah, a native, was at Lv. 35.

What kind of strength could those high-dimensional lifeforms who had descended into powerful species achieve?

I've been lying in wait for ten years. According to my plan, I can do more from now on, Xu Jingming thought. I have to gather almost all the body tempering techniques of the seven human countries in five years.

As he became stronger, he naturally had to increase his strength more efficiently.

Xu Jingming thought along the way and quickly arrived at a district only a kilometer away from the club before returning home.

"Dad, Mom," he said as he put down the spear case.

"Our son is back." Yuan Yu smiled. "We can have our meal now."

"You two go ahead first. I still have to meet a friend tonight," Jing Yulong, who had put on even more weight, said with a smile. "Son, many girls are pursuing you now, and many have also come to talk to me about marriage. Quickly choose one; a handful is fine too."

Xu Jingming ignored him and walked straight to the kitchen. "Mom, I'll carry it."

"You punk," Jing Yulong said helplessly as he smiled and walked out of the house.

"Your father is right. You should find someone soon," his mother said, trying to persuade him.

"I'm focused on martial arts, so I don't want to be distracted for the time being," Xu Jingming replied.

His clone in the outside world was already accompanying his wife, Li Miaomiao. How could he get married and have children in this world?

His mother smiled. "Alright, it's up to you! You made the right choice to drop out of school and focus on martial arts back then. Without your classmates bullying you, you actually made some achievements in martial arts."

From a sickly youth, Xu Jingming had actually made some achievements in martial arts after focusing on it.

Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu were very happy.

In a private room at a restaurant, Jing Yulong's expression turned nasty. "What do you mean?"

"As you know, my cash flow is tight now, so I really can't raise the money," the bald man said with a bitter smile. "I was also scammed, and they absconded with my investment. Therefore, I really can't fork out the money now."

Jing Yulong was furious. "The renovation project is done, and you're telling me that you can't pay the balance? The salaries of all those employees and the cost of the construction materials didn't come cheap."

"Didn't I give you two tranches?" the bald man asked.

"That's only 50%! You're still short by half. Competition in corporations is intense these days. You know that my margins weren't high to begin with," Jing Yulong said anxiously. "I put in over 300 million for this huge deal of yours. Now, you're telling me that you don't have the money? If you don't pay me back, my company will collapse!"

The bald man shook his head. "I really can't fork out the money. Even if I go bankrupt, I won't be able to pay."

"You're not planning on paying any of the 400 million back?" Jing Yulong asked in disbelief as his face flushed red.

"Brother, you've been doing well all these years. Your son is also a martial arts talent. Although your company is in trouble, it can still hold up even without this bit of money," the bald man said. "I'm at the end of my rope."

Jing Yulong got up. "This sum of money is too much for our company. Let's settle this in court."

"You won't get much in court either," the bald man shouted.

Jing Yulong had already left the private room.

The bald man's expression turned nasty. "You're forcing me."

"All of you are forcing me," he murmured. "The 400 million I owe Jing Yulong is key to all of this. If I don't need to return the 400 million, my company can survive. Nothing would change with my villa or my servants."

The bald man's eyes turned cold. "There are many bandits in Jianghan City. It's very common for accidents to happen."

It was nighttime, and Xu Jingming lived in a gated community next to his parents. When he was 16, he rented a house for himself due to his martial arts requirements. As his martial arts strength increased, his income increased, and he was able to buy a house.

In his room, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged with a calm mind.

He could hear any sound within a radius of over 100 kilometers, smell more than half of Jianghan City, and sense all kinds of fluctuations with his skin.

Even with his eyes closed, he could form a clear image of everything within a five-kilometer radius in his mind. The further away he was, the blurrier it became.

Xu Jingming could perfectly control the detection of these sounds and smells without being affected.

Huh? Suddenly, he sensed that his parents, Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu, were taking a stroll in a park 1.2 kilometers away from him.

The couple often took a stroll at night, and two bodyguards followed from afar.

And at this moment—

Boom!

At that moment, an aircraft soared up high in the sky, as if it had lost control, before plummeting and coincidentally falling in the direction of where Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu were.

"Ahhh," the aircraft pilot cried out in fear as he desperately tried to control the aircraft.

Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu were chatting and didn't notice the aircraft above them, and neither did the two bodyguards in the distance. They only noticed it when the aircraft landed 100 meters away.

"Not good."

"The aircraft has lost control," the two bodyguards said in alarm.

But at that moment, the aircraft accelerated to almost the speed of sound and slammed over. The two bodyguards didn't have the time or strength to block it.

"Duck!" the two bodyguards shouted, with the non-human bodyguard, Huo Long, shouting especially loudly.

"What's wrong?" Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu looked at the distant bodyguard in confusion, then looked up and saw the aircraft tumbling over at the speed of sound toward them.

It's over.

Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu came to a realization.

In the face of such might, the dumbfounded couple didn't have time to react before a figure appeared out of thin air and kicked the aircraft like a soccer ball.

The aircraft's head caved in and deformed, and the nearly ten-ton aircraft changed directions as a result of the kick.

With a loud bang, the aircraft tumbled and was sent flying 70 to 80 meters into the distance before plummeting into the park lake, splashing up a large amount of water.

"Jing Ming." Only then did Jing Yulong and Yuan Yu realize that it was their son, Jing Ming, who had saved them.
