Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 566

566 Juncture for Redmond’s Breakthrough (2)

“There’s nothing to be surprised about.” Secretary General Blacksky said, “The Primordial Star is the greatest and most terrifying celestial body in high-dimensional space! The dean naturally isn’t the only high-dimensional lifeform that studies it, observes it, or draws strength from it.”

“Although the universe we live in is vast, it’s only a universe.” Blacksky thought nothing of it. Having had a higher vantage point, he knew that the three Paramounts of the cosmic human race were only considered average in high-dimensional space.

They could only live quite comfortably with forbidden weapons, but they had to be careful. They weren’t qualified to be ostentatious in high-dimensional space.

“Excavate that auxiliary universe as soon as possible.” Blacksky smiled. “I’m quite looking forward to what other specialties there are in that auxiliary universe.”

!!
“I’ll definitely do so as soon as possible.” Xu Jingming nodded. “I’ll make a move.”

…

Deputy Dean Redmond focused on the information on the projection and made mental deductions.

It’s indeed too difficult to perfectly fuse the structure of a high-dimensional lifeform with my strength. I’ve tried more than a billion possibilities by combining deduction and exhaustive methods, but none of them work. Deputy Dean Redmond shook his head slightly.

Failure time and time again was also a form of torment for the mind.

He became a cosmic legend after cultivating the evolutionary method for 10,000 years. It was agreed by many that the probability of Redmond reaching the Paramount realm was more than 90%! People had great confidence in him.

However, Deputy Dean Redmond knew how many setbacks he had experienced.

“Deputy Dean Redmond.” A voice sounded.

“Speak,” Redmond said calmly. He didn’t like being disturbed when he was focused on research.

“The research institute has just received a cosmic fruit. After careful observation, the origins of the cosmic fruit’s power is a high-dimensional lifeform that’s in no way inferior to the dean. It’s good at very terrifying flames, and it definitely has a very, very huge body.” Secretary General Blacksky’s voice sounded.

“Not inferior to the dean’s? The power of fire? A very huge body?” Redmond was surprised.

“Yes, if my guess is right, the source of the fruit—the massive body of that high-dimensional lifeform… might exceed all the high-dimensional lifeforms I’ve seen,” Secretary General Blacksky remarked.

“What about the fruit?” Redmond asked.

“There’s only one. Give it a try; your credit will be automatically deducted.” Just as he finished speaking, a black-red fruit appeared out of thin air in the room.

The space around the fruit distorted. After all, it was a huge cosmic fruit with a diameter of about 1.6 kilometers.

At a glance, Redmond could vaguely see a towering behemoth through the fruit, given his mental strength. It left him suffocated and shocked.

“Excellent.” Redmond revealed a look of delight. With a thought, the fruit was sliced into a very small piece.

The flesh flew out of the distorted space and immediately became several meters tall.

Redmond opened his mouth, and space distorted. The piece of fruit quickly shrank and flew into his mouth.

Huh?

Redmond felt his body being affected, and he couldn’t help but expand. At the same time, flames rose on his body.

What violent and ferocious flames. Redmond revealed a look of delight. This power is different from the dean’s Primordial Star Conjecture. It’s more extreme! It’s unimaginably ferocious.

Redmond couldn’t help but open his mouth, causing the black-red fruit to fly into his mouth.

He swallowed the fruit in one gulp.

Turbulent strength surged through Redmond’s body as he took it in and even allowed his body to change.

His body naturally expanded to a towering height of 800 meters, but the space in the room also increased in sync.

This fruit does have a very special physical effect. It seems to be especially inclined to being ‘massive?’ Redmond fell into thought. It seems to be able to withstand vaster flames with its huge body?

This fiery power…

Redmond was pleasantly surprised.

With such a body formation method, I’ve found another possibility for a high-dimensional lifeform structure. Redmond was surprised and delighted. He had long reached a bottleneck that prevented his breakthrough; he even took the time to have a child.

The effects of this fruit on his body allowed his body to undergo a transformation, allowing him to find a direction.

“Where did this fruit come from?” Redmond asked.

“Deputy Dean Redmond, you have higher clearance than me, so you naturally have the right to know that Xu Jingming is the seller of this fruit,” Blacksky replied.

Redmond nodded. At the same time, his body quickly shrank and returned to normal.

…

Black Iron.

I sold one to the Primordial Research Institute. I believe it won’t be long before the research institute figures out the detailed usage of this fruit, Xu Jingming thought to himself. How should I use the fruit to maximize efficiency? How do I minimize any dangers? Which aspect does it help the most?

Cosmic fruits were usually eaten, but how much could he eat every day?

All of this needed research! Xu Jingming naturally left this matter to the research institute.

Huh?

Xu Jingming found Deputy Dean Redmond contacting him while he was in his study.

******

Virtual world, Xu Jingming’s personal space.

Deputy Dean Redmond personally came.

“Deputy Dean.” Xu Jingming naturally didn’t dare to slight him.

“Were you the one who sold that cosmic fruit to the research institute?” Deputy Dean Redmond asked.

“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“It’s very useful to me,” Redmond said. “How many can you pluck? I’ll buy as many as you have. I know… Logically speaking, the research institute should buy and distribute these cosmic wonders reasonably, but they’re very important to me!”

Xu Jingming hesitated for a moment. “Alright.”

Deputy Dean Redmond was the acting dean after all, so he had greater authorization access.

“This cosmic fruit is also useful to you,” Redmond said, “but you can only try it after reaching Lv. 10. It’s best if you try it when you have accumulated enough knowledge at Lv. 10 and have a chance of becoming a cosmic legend. Otherwise, it will be a waste of resources.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Deputy Dean,” Xu Jingming said, “but I can only pluck very few. There are only about 100 of them in total.”

“I want 50. I’ll offer a price at a 10% premium over the prices set by the research institute,” Redmond said with a smile. “If I’m really lucky enough to break through to become a high-dimensional lifeform, I’ll owe you a huge favor.”

Xu Jingming was surprised.

It tied in with Deputy Dean Redmond’s chances of reaching the Paramount realm?

“Is it urgent?” Xu Jingming asked. “I have to reach Lv. 10 to have the confidence to pluck them.”

“How long will it take you to reach Lv. 10?” Redmond asked.

“Within 50 years,” Xu Jingming answered.

It had been 71 years since he grasped high-dimensional traveling. Although he had been stationed at the front line all these years, Xu Jingming was laser focused on the evolutionary path. He had also been observing the Heavenly Python Scale for a long time and had gotten great scholars to help teach him, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the last Force structural model—the Möbius model.

He believed that it wouldn’t take him long to grasp it. He was already being humble by saying 50 years.

After grasping the six models and having sufficient mental strength, he could break through to Lv. 10.

“There’s no rush. I’ve just come into contact with this power, and I still need to study it carefully.” Redmond nodded. “After you pluck them, just send them to the research institute headquarters.”

“Alright.” Xu Jingming nodded. It had been a long time since a new Paramount realm was born in the cosmic human race! If Deputy Dean Redmond could really use this opportunity to become a Paramount, it would be a joyous occasion for the cosmic human race.

Redmond smiled at Xu Jingming, but he found something wondrous.

I decided to have a child because I was stuck at a bottleneck and had my son, Tejano. Tejano helped Xu Jingming, and the cosmic fruits Xu Jingming has discovered can help me on my evolutionary path. Redmond vaguely saw the wonders of fate.

If it weren’t for Tejano, Xu Jingming might’ve still risen to prominence, but his growth definitely would’ve been different. Even all of Earth’s civilization would be different.

Would Xu Jingming—who had another growth path—discover this auxiliary universe? That might not be the case.

Perhaps the discovery of this auxiliary universe would be delayed by hundreds of millions of years or longer.

Redmond left, but Xu Jingming’s heart raced.

I have to master the Möbius model as soon as possible. When I break through to Lv. 10, I’ll pluck 50 cosmic fruits and send them to Deputy Dean Redmond. If he can really use this opportunity to break through… Xu Jingming looked forward to it.
