Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 325

Hu!

A man wrapped up tightly to the size of a bear appeared out of thin air beside Xu Jingming. His dense hair stubbornly extended from his headscarf, and only his large black eyes were revealed.

“It’s so cold. It’s really too cold.” The man couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he returned to the starting point. “The starting point has the most warmth after all.”

“Warmth?” Xu Jingming looked at him. You call such biting cold warmth?

“Brother.” The tightly-wrapped man looked at Xu Jingming and smiled. “Did you just arrive on Planet Number Three?”

“Oohook Star Alliance, Wu Ming.” Xu Jingming gave his alias.

“Lano from the Freerain Star Alliance.” The man chuckled. “I’ve been trapped on Planet Number Three for more than two months and have frozen to death 19 times.”

“Frozen to death?” Xu Jingming’s heart tightened. “It’s that cold?”

“All of us explorers are limited to a physique seen in Blood Rain World.” The man shook his head and said, “Therefore, everyone experiences the same cold. The feeling of freezing to death is really uncomfortable.”

Xu Jingming immediately opened his personal interface and began checking Planet Number Three’s tests.

…

Whoosh.

A virtual map of Planet Number Three appeared with a spot labeled.

“Please head to the ‘Land of Extreme Cold’ on Planet Number Three. If you successfully arrive, you can proceed to Planet Number Four.” The test only had a few words, but Xu Jingming had a bad feeling when he saw the location and the name of the destination.

“Other than us explorers, there are no other lifeforms on this planet.” The man shook his head. “There’s only one word for it—cold! Cold that can freeze us to death! Brother, good luck. I’m going to make my twentieth attempt!”

With that said, the man lowered his head and walked forward step by step.

He’s trying it for the twentieth time after being frozen to death nineteen times… This person’s mind and will are extraordinary, Xu Jingming thought to himself when he saw this. However, he has still been stuck on Planet Number Three for more than two months.

I’ll try to choose from the clothes and armor I can. Xu Jingming didn’t underestimate the task ahead of him and tried his best to choose something with high enough cold-proofing in his personal interface. He wore a tight-fitting cotton shirt, a layer of soft armor, and finally, a layer of armor.

I can’t choose a helmet; I can only use a belt. The cloth belt Xu Jingming chose was thick enough, but it was used as a headscarf. It wrapped up his head, revealing only his eyes.

Let’s go.

He appeared a little bloated. In order to deal with unexpected danger, he carried a spear holster on his back.

Thankfully, my body doesn’t get hungry or thirsty. I can maintain my peak stamina. As Xu Jingming walked, he mobilized all the cells in his body and tried his best to produce heat! At the level of cellular control, all he needed was a thought to produce heat much stronger than the heat produced from intense exercise.

My entire body is heating up. Xu Jingming felt quite relaxed when he set off.

After all, he had tightly wrapped himself in armor and clothes, and his body generated enough heat. He left behind afterimages as he easily advanced, moving at more than 100 kilometers per hour.

It’s a total of 936 kilometers from the starting point to the Land of Extreme Cold. It’s not far. Having gone through the test on the Arthropod planet, Xu Jingming felt that this distance wasn’t much.

But gradually…

It’s getting colder and colder. Xu Jingming felt the cold outside keep rising. The cold began to penetrate his armor, inner armor, and cotton clothes. The heat produced by his body gradually failed to withstand the cold, and the cold began to seep into his body.

Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! His teeth couldn’t help but chatter.

The most basic way for cosmic lifeforms to cultivate is to control the body! I have to control my body! Xu Jingming tried his best to control every cell with his mind and will, hoping to stop his body from trembling. However, the cold invaded every cell and fought for dominance with his mind and will.

Why is it so cold? I’ve only walked 200 kilometers. Xu Jingming trembled and gritted his teeth as he continued forward.

At a glance, the entire world was ice-white.

Ice covered countless rocks, leaving a portion exposed. There was no sign of life.

Xu Jingming walked alone. Occasionally, he saw other cosmic citizens walking in silence.

In such a terrifying cold… everyone was unwilling to speak.

Huh? Xu Jingming saw a tightly wrapped cosmic citizen standing by the side of the road in front of him.

He maintained his walking posture but didn’t move. His entire body was covered in a layer of ice.

He’s not dead yet. Xu Jingming watched silently. But he won’t be able to last long.

When Xu Jingming walked close to the person—

Whoosh!

The frozen cosmic citizen completely disappeared.

Freezing to death means returning to the starting point, Xu Jingming thought to himself. To freeze to death at around 300 kilometers, that’s still a great distance from the Land of Extreme Cold 900 kilometers away.

Xu Jingming lowered his head and walked.

After walking for 500 kilometers, he occasionally saw cosmic citizens who were frozen in place with walking postures. Those cosmic citizens were still conscious and hadn’t frozen to death.

When he reached 600 kilometers, he no longer trembled. Instead, his body was partially numb from the cold.

Not good. My body is starting to turn numb. Xu Jingming’s heart tightened.

Just shivering was a small matter, but numbness was a big deal!

Xu Jingming’s control over his body was already very strong, but he felt that he couldn’t feel a portion of his body!

Without feeling anything, he could barely keep walking.

Is Planet Number Three that difficult?
