The points of the Virtual Universe Company were extremely precious. As a new member of the ‘Primal Secret Realm’, Luo Feng had only just received 10,000 points, so of course he had to use them carefully. Although there were countless secret techniques above that were enough to drive Immortals crazy, their prices were ridiculously high, with some costing millions or even tens of millions of points.
Luo Feng could only stare at them and drool.
“Not good, I should choose this one.”
“Luo Feng, you need to be practical. You have to save your points.”
“So expensive!”
“Bought it.”
Luo Feng and Babata discussed and argued while making their choices. They also had to consider that they only had 10,000 points in total. After nearly half an hour, they finally finished exchanging all of them.
……
The Golden-Horned Beast, zero points spent.
The Moshajiu Clan, 9,820 points spent, purchasing a complete set of matching secret techniques and weapons.
They were the relatively expensive close combat movement technique 《Shadow Phantom Body》, worth 3,200 points, the relatively basic shield technique 《Shadow Shield》, worth 800 points, and a good blade technique 《Shadow Seven Ultimate Blades》, worth 5,800 points. The Shadow Gold Blade cost 12 points, while the Absolute Sky Shield cost 8 points. The movement technique, shield technique and blade technique formed a complete set, renowned for its ghostly movement and fierce blade techniques.
Luo Feng’s original body spent 180 points. The Shadow Gold Blade and Absolute Sky Shield cost 20 points, two Life Fruits cost 100 points, and 30 units of Lan Ke Fruit cost 60 points.
All 10,000 points had been completely spent!
The spacecraft continued travelling through the dark universe at twenty times the speed of light.
Inside the spacecraft.
Luo Feng took a wine bottle and wine glass and walked directly into the private lounge beside the bedroom. He switched on the screen and watched some news programmes.
The screen was showing the genius battle that had just ended not long ago.
“I spent the points so quickly.”
Luo Feng poured himself a glass of fruit wine and then lay down directly on the soft sofa. “Especially the secret techniques. An entire set of secret techniques nearly used up all my points. I hope they don’t disappoint me, otherwise my heart will ache.”
“Luo Feng, this complete set of 《Shadow Codex》 consisting of 《Shadow Phantom Body》, 《Shadow Shield》 and 《Shadow Seven Ultimate Blades》 definitely won’t disappoint you,” Babata said. “Although they are considered relatively basic secret techniques, you’re only a little Stellar-level fellow after all. At least until you become an Immortal, this set of secret techniques will be enough for you.”
Luo Feng nodded.
He also understood that some secret techniques were unfathomably profound, and even Immortals had to desperately study and comprehend them.
If they were given to him, they would simply be like heavenly scriptures. What use was there in buying something he could not understand? Instead, purchasing secret techniques that were cheaper and placed greater emphasis on building a solid foundation was more effective. Even his teacher’s self-created 《Soul Seal》, which contained multiple soul seal secret techniques, had been estimated by Babata to be worth only around 10,000 points after examining the treasure vault.
This Shadow Codex contained three secret techniques and cost more than 9,000 points in total, so it could be considered roughly equivalent to 《Soul Seal》.
“Babata, what battle secret technique should the Golden-Horned Beast cultivate?” Luo Feng asked.
“You’re already preparing to have the Golden-Horned Beast cultivate combat techniques?” Babata asked in return. “How about continuing to build its foundation first?”
The Golden-Horned Beast currently only knew 《World of the Origin Body》 and 《Absolute Space》.
《Absolute Space》 was a movement technique.
《World of the Origin Body》 was purely a method of shrinking and enlarging the body. It contained no combat techniques at all. At present, when the Golden-Horned Beast fought, it relied entirely on its innate secret technique ‘Strengthening’ or on its physical strength. It had no systematic combat techniques. According to Babata, it was better to first make its foundation solid. Learning combat techniques in the future would then be very easy.
Moreover, the Golden-Horned Beast’s inherited memories contained countless battle secret techniques, so it could learn combat techniques whenever it wanted.
All kinds of secret techniques for physical combat!
Its hooves, claws, scales, wings, tail and powerful body were all weapons of slaughter. As for how to unleash their greatest combat power, generation after generation of Golden-Horned Beasts had created many combat secret techniques, and many of them were extremely brutal.
“Build the foundation?” Luo Feng pondered. “That’s fine. I won’t need the Golden-Horned Beast to slaughter enemies for a long time in the future anyway.”
Luo Feng then raised his head and drank the fruit wine in his glass in one gulp. He immediately stood up, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
“It is time to begin!”
……
Time flew by, and month after month passed continuously.
The F-grade spacecraft forged from Kwei Yan Stone Mother also continued rushing towards the ‘Virtual Universe Company’s Headquarters in the Entire Universe’, which was located at the very centre of the entire human territory. Luo Feng naturally stayed inside the spacecraft every day, entering the Virtual Universe with his consciousness and desperately absorbing every drop of knowledge like a sponge.
Within his body space.
The golden continent had already reached a length and width of 9,000 kilometres. Clearly, during the long period of Luo Feng’s genius battle, the Golden-Horned Beast had already evolved to ‘Universe Level Nine’. Normally, going from Universe Level Nine to Domain Lord Level One required 500 years. Even with the metal combination increasing its efficiency by 56 times, it would still take around nine years.
Feeling the dense fluctuations of the Origin Law of Gold constantly spreading as the ‘world within his body’ expanded, the Golden-Horned Beast listened, watched and carefully comprehended them, seeking to comprehend the Origin Law of Gold.
Meanwhile, the Moshajiu Clan transformed into a small Golden-Horned Beast to cultivate 《Absolute Space》 and improve its comprehension of the Origin Law of Space. At other times, it transformed into a human, using a blade and shield to cultivate the 《Shadow Codex》.
Virtual Universe, Primal Zone, No. 1136 Manor’s training ground.
The completely sealed training ground was empty.
Luo Feng, barefoot and wearing only shorts, held the six-edged shield-shaped ‘Absolute Sky Shield’ in his hand, with a blood-shadow battle blade-like ‘Shadow Gold Blade’ strapped to his back.
“Simulated battle!” Luo Feng shouted. “Opponent, set it as Rong Jun. Set his combat strength to the strongest combat strength he displayed at the peak of the genius battle.”
Sss sss~~
Within the enormous training ground, 50 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide, a figure gradually condensed before transforming into the over three-metre-tall Wild Man Rong Jun. Rong Jun had a huge battle blade, the Earth-Splitting Blade, strapped to his back. He was barefoot and wearing only simple animal hide. His eyes were lifeless, and he stood there without moving.
“Begin!” Luo Feng shouted.
Boom!
The simulated Rong Jun’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then he charged towards Luo Feng like a great mountain.
“Come on.”
Luo Feng drew his battle blade. With a shield in one hand, he transformed into eighteen Luo Fengs, like eighteen ghostly golden streams of light, and charged straight towards him.
“Clang!”
The two collided head-on.
Luo Feng unleashed his blade technique. Almost instantly, they exchanged blows more than ten thousand times. They were simply too fast. Luo Feng’s movement was incredibly ghostly and fast, while his blade technique was equally swift. It appeared ghostly and unpredictable, and although his blade technique seemed to lack power, when its strength suddenly erupted, it could be terrifyingly powerful.
“Slash!” Wild Man Rong Jun’s hair flew wildly, his eyes flashed like lightning, and he roared like thunder as his huge battle blade came crashing down!
“Slash!”
“Slash!”
One roar followed another, each one carrying overwhelming power.
In the genius battle, in terms of attack power, apart from the strongest ‘Bolan’, he ranked second. In terms of strange and unpredictable techniques, the Phantom Demon Gai Laxi’s illusion technique was unrivalled. In terms of unstoppable sharpness, Luo Feng’s ‘Heaven Piercing Form’ was the strongest. In terms of domineering and formidable power, it was the Wild Man’s blade technique!
They fought fiercely for several minutes.
“Puff!”
Blood sprayed wildly as Luo Feng was sent flying, crashing to the ground like a broken sandbag.
“Rumble~~~”
The training ground changed in an instant. The previously simulated Rong Jun disappeared, and Luo Feng’s injuries were completely restored.
This specially equipped ‘training ground’ had an effect similar to the Slaughter Space. It could completely simulate any opponent he wanted, although the simulation space of the ‘training ground’ was limited.
“Hmm, I’ve improved.” Luo Feng smiled as he stood up. “My close combat should now be good enough to rank among the top 100 of the genius battle.”
Close combat!
Yes, Luo Feng’s greatest weakness was close combat. During the previous ‘peak genius battle’, he had lost twice, once to Rong Jun and once to Long Yun. Both times, after closing the distance, his opponent had defeated him with a single move. As a Controller, Luo Feng could slaughter all before him when he kept his distance from his opponents.
But once an opponent got close, he was finished.
A person’s mental energy was limited. Luo Feng had no time to divide his attention. But things were different now. The Moshajiu Clan itself was an expert in close combat, so it naturally had to cultivate the 《Shadow Codex》. The three bodies… shared the same soul and consciousness. Whatever one of them learned, the other two would naturally learn as well!
“In terms of law comprehension, I’m stronger than Rong Jun, yet I’m still losing in close combat…” Luo Feng shook his head. “There really is a difference between the human body and the Moshajiu Clan body.”
When the Moshajiu Clan used the 《Shadow Codex》, that was what could truly be called a shadow!
Relying on the Moshajiu Clan body, even when compared with the Death God Bolan, the difference was not significant. The human body, however, was far inferior.
“Keep working hard!”
“I’m not only going to be strong in long-range attacks. I also want to be strong in close combat. Only then will I truly have no weaknesses!”
……
Luo Feng continued working hard.
Finally, after approximately two years and three months of travelling through the universe, he managed to kill Rong Jun through close combat!
“I defeated the Rong Jun from the genius battle. Rong Jun must have done the same thing as me. Using the resources provided by the Virtual Universe Company, he must have strengthened himself effectively and become even stronger.”
Luo Feng did not dare relax in the slightest.
Indeed.
During the three-year journey, all 1,000 recruited geniuses dared not relax. This genius battle had a huge impact on all of them. Before this, each of them had rarely encountered opponents. The life-and-death battles during the genius battle had indeed influenced them greatly. Many people reflected on the several years of the genius battle after it ended, and they had all improved considerably.
In addition, they could choose any secret technique they wanted. For Rong Jun, Uka, Opattera and the other members of the Primal Zone, 10,000 points were enough to buy many things they wanted.
At their level, there was no need to buy overly expensive items.
After three years of studying and pondering, everyone had improved considerably.
Inside the spacecraft’s hall.
A young man with short black hair stood there wearing a battle suit and battle boots that perfectly fitted his body. Beside him, a thin silver-haired elderly man respectfully said, “Your Highness, we are about to arrive at the company’s headquarters in the entire universe.”
“Hmm.” Luo Feng nodded.
Three years!
These had been the three years in which he had improved the fastest. However, the deeper he went, the more Luo Feng felt that the Origin of the Universe was unfathomably deep. The mysteries and complexity of the entire universe’s operation were immense. His own secret techniques could only be considered secret techniques used by those below the Immortal level or by ordinary Immortals, yet he still found them profound. This showed just how difficult this path was.
“I’ve improved this much. I wonder how the others are doing,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “I have the Golden-Horned Beast and the Moshajiu Clan, so these opportunities can be considered rather unique! But… the universe is vast. What kind of fortuitous encounters could possibly not occur? Perhaps among these 1,000 geniuses, there are some whose opportunities are even more extraordinary.”
Never underestimate anyone, and never become arrogant.
The universe was vast and mysterious beyond measure, and there were countless races. Humanity was merely one of them. One should always maintain a sense of awe towards the universe.
“Beginning universe traversal, entering the original universe.”
“10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1!”
Luo Feng felt the entire spacecraft tremble slightly. Ten seconds later, everything returned to normal. He immediately shouted, “100% external scene simulation!”
In an instant, the entire hall became transparent and disappeared. A dreamlike starry sky appeared around them. In the distance, there was a vast supercontinent floating majestically within the starry sky.
Luo Feng was completely stunned.
The Virtual Universe Company’s headquarters in the entire universe had arrived.
