During the following days, both China and the HR Alliance quickly transported various ancient civilisation spacecraft wreckage and strange fragments to a large warehouse in an abandoned factory over a hundred kilometres outside Yangzhou City, deep within the wilderness. Afterwards, Babata stored all of the materials inside its storage space.
Luo Feng had a spatial ring.
However, Babata also possessed its own storage space.
Storage space could only hold lifeless objects such as materials and corpses. However, Babata’s storage space was obviously enormous. Within that vast space, it began constructing a spaceship using intelligent automated tools.
The intelligence systems, machinery, energy units, and other components were all non living objects, allowing construction to begin entirely within the storage space.
“Babata, just how large is your storage space?” Luo Feng once asked. “Earlier, you stored the Yun Mo Planet ship inside it. My spatial ring couldn’t even fit that ship. And now you’re using it like a factory to build another spaceship. Just how big is it?”
Luo Feng had always been curious about Babata’s private treasury.
“Bigger than yours.”
Babata answered simply.
“Then how long will it take to finish building a spaceship?” Luo Feng asked.
“Five or six years,” Babata replied.
“My goodness, five or six years? Aren’t you supposed to be the greatest intelligence? Why does it take so long?”
Babata sounded very dissatisfied.
“I’m building a spaceship capable of travelling through the universe, not a toy model. Constructing one requires countless precision tools, and I don’t even have those. I’m starting completely from scratch with nothing. Even on Earth, how long does it take to build an aircraft carrier? What I’m building is thousands, even tens of thousands of times more difficult than that. Five or six years is already fast.”
“Fine. I’m not in a hurry anyway.”
Luo Feng stopped arguing.
“Hmph. You’re fortunate that I’m helping you build it. Otherwise, with Earth’s current technology, even after one hundred or one thousand years, you would at best be able to enter space. But the Milky Way alone is one hundred thousand light years across. Building a ship capable of travelling between star systems? Earth won’t manage that in a thousand years.”
Babata sounded extremely proud.
The truth was that Luo Feng’s knowledge in this field was practically nonexistent.
He genuinely had no idea how many technological challenges were involved in building a spacecraft capable of travelling between star systems.
This was a real spacecraft, not a model.
The fact that it could be completed in five or six years was already astonishing.
As the most advanced intelligent lifeform, Babata effortlessly created a lower level artificial intelligence to oversee the spaceship’s construction, while it personally supervised Luo Feng’s training.
“Don’t get too pleased with yourself. A First Level Planetary warrior’s muscles and bones can normally withstand one thousand times Earth’s gravity. The only reason you started at one hundred times gravity is because your internal organs and meridians are comparatively weak. It took you twenty eight days just to adapt to one thousand times Earth’s gravity. That’s nothing to be proud of.”
Babata’s roar echoed through Luo Feng’s Sea of Consciousness.
Inside the gravity chamber.
Wearing only a pair of shorts and standing barefoot, Luo Feng stood inside the chamber. Sweat glistened across his body, with droplets rolling down from time to time.
The display beside him showed.
1,088g.
More than one thousand times Earth’s gravity acted upon every tiny cell throughout Luo Feng’s body. During these twenty eight days of adaptation, the potential of a Planetary warrior had been fully drawn out. Every time he cultivated using a Mu Ya Crystal, his internal organs absorbed its energy frantically, continuously growing stronger.
“Good, that’s enough. Start absorbing the Mu Ya Crystal,” Babata instructed.
Luo Feng immediately sat cross legged.
A Mu Ya Crystal appeared in his hand.
Its fragrance was so enticing that it made one’s mouth water.
Guided by his genetic energy, streams of energy rapidly flowed into Luo Feng’s body.
The energy within a Mu Ya Crystal differed completely from genetic energy.
It was exceptionally pure and refined.
Its quality was extraordinarily high.
Moreover, it was filled with vitality and spiritual essence.
The moment it entered Luo Feng’s body, he felt like a withered plant being nourished with water. His physical evolution accelerated dramatically.
At the same time.
Luo Feng’s consciousness entered the virtual space.
According to Babata, even after one’s consciousness entered the virtual world, the physical body still retained subconscious awareness.
With special training, Luo Feng’s subconscious could continue carrying out one simple task even while his consciousness remained inside the virtual world.
Absorbing a Mu Ya Crystal.
“Begin martial artist training. Body movement techniques first. Start.”
Within the virtual space, Luo Feng once again began practising movement techniques.
Inside the virtual world, his physical abilities were fixed at the level of a beginner Warlord, exactly as they had been during his days at the Elite Training Camp.
Five months later.
Evening.
Wearing only a pair of shorts, Luo Feng walked into the gravity chamber and closed the door behind him.
“Babata, let’s focus on the Control Manual today. Test my progress.”
“You actually requested it yourself? Looks like you’re full of confidence.”
Babata chuckled strangely.
Luo Feng smiled.
He adjusted the gravity controls beside him and entered 1,910.
The gravity chamber immediately activated.
A faint hum echoed through the room as an overwhelming gravitational force instantly pressed down upon his body.
Luo Feng sank slightly, his knees bending a little before he straightened once more.
“Haa.”
He took a deep breath.
“Let’s begin.”
With some effort, Luo Feng raised his right hand.
Resting upon it was the fragment of Scarlet Mixed Copper Essence.
On Earth, this fragment already weighed over one tonne.
Under 1,910 times Earth’s gravity, its effective weight instantly exceeded two thousand tonnes.
A Wargod would not even be able to lift it.
Even Luo Feng found it rather difficult.
Fortunately, that tremendous weight only existed inside the gravity chamber.
If the chamber itself weighed five tonnes, then regardless of how powerful the gravity became inside, it would have no effect whatsoever on the outside world.
Even if the internal gravity exceeded ten thousand g, the pressure exerted on the building would remain unchanged.
The energy source maintained the gravitational field.
“Go ahead,” Babata said.
“One strand.”
Luo Feng controlled one strand of spiritual force to wrap around the blade fragment.
“Two strands.”
Another strand joined it.
“Three.”
“Four.”
…
The blade fragment slowly floated into the air.
“Ten strands.”
Luo Feng continued adding more strands of spiritual force.
Before inheriting the Yun Mo Planet lineage, Luo Feng had been able to control eighteen strands of spiritual force.
However, those eighteen strands had to control eighteen separate objects.
He had been completely unable to combine all eighteen strands together without reducing their effectiveness.
Once combined, they interfered with one another.
Furthermore, his spiritual force had once worked poorly when applied to combat suits.
That was because his fine control had been too weak.
Combat suits contained tiny openings through which much of the force leaked away.
But things were different now.
“Nineteen strands.”
Luo Feng called out his final count.
“Oh?”
Babata sounded surprised.
“You can now combine nineteen strands of spiritual force without them interfering with one another? Not long ago, you could only manage eighteen.”
“I’ve improved.”
Luo Feng grinned.
“Excellent. Under nearly two thousand times Earth’s gravity, you’re still able to combine nineteen strands without interference. Your mastery of the Condense technique from the Control Manual has reached the Small Success stage.”
Babata praised him.
“After the basic Nine Techniques of the Control Manual, besides Condense, there are another eight, Scatter, Sharpness, Toughness, Softness, Hardness, Dance, Illusion, and Fusion.”
“Now that your Condense technique has reached Small Success, we’ll begin the second technique.”
“Toughness.”
Five months earlier, Luo Feng’s maximum had been eighteen strands of spiritual force.
After five months of arduous cultivation, he had only increased that number to nineteen.
However, merely reaching Small Success in the first technique had already multiplied his combat power several times over.
According to the requirements of the Nine Techniques, once all nine reached Small Success, spiritual force could become as broad and solid as an iron plate for crushing opponents, or as fine as a needle capable of piercing straight through enemy weapons and bodies.
Normally, spiritual force would simply pass through flesh.
But after mastering the Nine Techniques, it became incomparably condensed.
Exceptionally sharp.
It could be used directly as a weapon.
Without the proper methods and guidance, however, discovering these techniques alone would be incredibly difficult.
12 January 2060.
Morning.
Inside the gravity chamber on the second floor of Luo Feng’s home.
Under pale yellow lighting.
A young man sat cross legged.
His entire body was covered in crimson battle armour.
Around him, fragments of Scarlet Mixed Copper Essence circled and danced through the air.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
The display beside him read.
3,100g.
Most Planetary level experts on Earth would die instantly if they entered such an environment.
Whoosh.
Without making the slightest sound, the crimson armour covering his body rapidly merged back into his skin and disappeared, revealing his lean physique.
He stood up.
Compared with a year ago, he had become noticeably leaner.
He even appeared several centimetres shorter.
Yet simply standing there gave off an aura more terrifying than a King Level monster.
“Training spiritual force really is harder than training as a martial artist. I only reached the Third Level Planetary stage today.”
“Luo Feng, stop flattering yourself.”
Babata said.
“Training is always easy at the beginning and increasingly difficult afterwards. Just look at Hong and the Thunder God. Their progress becomes slower and slower the further they advance.”
Luo Feng smiled.
As early as four months ago, his martial artist cultivation had already reached the Third Level Planetary stage.
Only today had his spiritual force finally caught up.
“With my martial artist strength alone, I can now defeat the Third Speaker.”
Luo Feng was filled with confidence.
His foundation was incomparably solid.
His efficiency in using spiritual force far surpassed that of the Fourth Speaker.
Because of that solid foundation, he could effortlessly control both the Soaring Shuttle and the Arc Blade Disc.
However, his greatest trump cards were the Scarlet Mixed Copper Essence fragment and the now awakened Cloud Vine.
The crimson battle armour from moments earlier had been formed by the Cloud Vine.
The current Luo Feng…
Had undergone a complete transformation from the inside out.
Only now did he truly deserve to call himself a successor of Yun Mo Planet.
Just then.
The ringtone of a mobile phone sounded from outside the gravity chamber.
“Hmm.”
Luo Feng walked out, picked up the phone, and glanced at the caller ID.
It was Xu Xin.
She had now started her own business in Yangzhou City, allowing the two of them to spend much more time together.
“Hello, Luo Feng. I’m almost there. I just bought some groceries.”
Xu Xin’s cheerful voice came through.
“My parents have gone travelling, and I gave the housekeeper the day off. Didn’t I say we’d eat out today?”
Luo Feng replied.
“I learned a few things from television. Today I’m cooking myself, so you can taste my cooking. It’s my first time making a meal.”
“I’m already inside the estate.”
Luo Feng immediately walked to the window and looked outside.
Sure enough.
A beautifully curved white sports saloon slowly entered the estate.
With his eyesight, Luo Feng could clearly see Xu Xin in the driver’s seat, wearing a white jumper and smiling happily.
“Xu Xin is cooking?”
Luo Feng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth inwardly.
“No matter how awful it tastes, I have to eat every bite. I also have to look delighted and keep praising her.”
