"coming!"

With a low shout, Fallen Saint Heart took a series of quick, small steps and instantly rushed to Gao Yang's front, slashing down at Gao Yang's head with his dark red longsword.

The longsword fell with a fierce killing intent, but Gao Yang did not dodge. Instead, he raised his sword and slashed horizontally, the killing aura permeating the blade.

Ding!
With a crisp sound, Gao Yang's right arm, which was holding the sword, swung backward. After parrying his longsword, the battle blade of Fallen Saint Heart continued its momentum and fell towards his chest.

Using the momentum from the previous impact, Gao Yang took a step back, his body suddenly appearing three meters away, thus avoiding the attack.

He looked at the Fallen Saint Heart, who had straightened up again, and frowned slightly.

The power of this Rule Body can be said to be almost non-existent; its attacks consist only of the collision of rules. However, the understanding of the Destruction Rule by Fallen Saint Heart is clearly superior to his Slaughter Rule. It is precisely because of this that his attacks appear utterly vulnerable in front of his opponent.

However, in comparison, the understanding of spatial rules can play a significant role on this battlefield.

Just like when he dodged the attack of the Meteorite Sacred Heart, he used the rules of space.

"strangeness!"

When the Fallen Saint Heart's attack missed its mark, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he muttered something before continuing his attack on Gao Yang.

After a brief encounter, Gao Yang understood how the battles in this rule-based sandbox should proceed.

In short, it means using the rules you have mastered to defeat the opponent's rule-based body as much as possible.

On this battlefield, attributes, skills, and moves are no longer the main factors in combat; the flexible application of one's own rules is the key factor in determining the outcome of the battle.

Gao Yang also realized that the battles in this rule sandbox could not only enhance one's ability to apply the rules already mastered, but also force participants to continue to comprehend the rules, and then use stronger rules to defeat their opponents.

After understanding the rules of combat, Gao Yang's body began to flash frequently. Due to the spatial rules, he could appear five meters away with each step he took.

Although his walking speed is no different from that of an ordinary person, his ability to perform the movements is much greater.

In comparison, although the Fallen Sacred Heart's walking speed has been greatly improved by the time rule, and he can take nearly six steps for every one step Gao Yang takes, his overall movement speed is slightly inferior to Gao Yang's due to the high frequency of his movements.

Gao Yang has a slight advantage in mobility, but in terms of attack, the Meteor Saint Heart, who has mastered the rules of destruction, is much stronger than Gao Yang.

This also meant that in the battle between the two, Gao Yang could only use agile movement to constantly dodge the attacks of Meteor Saint Heart while looking for opportunities to attack his opponent.

While Gao Yang was fending off the attacks of the Fallen Saint Heart, he was constantly thinking in his mind.

'Although I am comprehending the rules of killing, the integration of these rules with swordsmanship is not strong enough, making it difficult for me to fully unleash the power of the rules of killing I have mastered.'

'To fully unleash the power of the rules of killing, I need to accelerate the integration of swordsmanship with these rules.'

As Gao Yang's thoughts flashed through his mind, all sorts of sword techniques he had created began to flash wildly in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the previously established swordsmanship began to change, and various sword techniques and moves began to be dismantled, as if the flesh and blood of swordsmanship were being peeled away, leaving only the most basic framework of swordsmanship.

Feeling the sword moves being dismantled in his mind, Gao Yang understood that the next step was to replace the original framework of swordsmanship with a framework of swordsmanship that included the rules of killing.

As the rules of killing are incorporated into sword techniques, the power of the sword techniques will be significantly enhanced, and their lethality will be stronger.

But Gao Yang understands that he doesn't have time to fill in the gaps now.

However, now that the direction is clear, the next steps become obvious.

As the thought crossed his mind, Gao Yang, distracted, was once again struck by the Fallen Saint Heart, and his entire left arm was severed.

Gao Yang stopped what he was doing and looked at Yun Shengxin, saying, "Brother Shengxin, let's leave it at that for now."

Meteor Saint Heart sheathed his sword, stood up, looked at Gao Yang and asked with a smile, "Are you having many insights coming to mind, wishing you could find a quiet place right now to contemplate them?"

Gao Yang nodded.

"Don't rush. Everyone will have this feeling after using the rule sandbox for the first time, but in reality, the effect of the rule sandbox is not that great. Most of the insights you have in your mind are impossible to realize."

Therefore, take it slow. Understanding the rules is difficult, but mastering and applying them is also something that requires a lot of time and effort to study.

Meteorite Saint Heart gazed into Gao Yang's eyes and finished speaking carefully.

Gao Yang listened attentively and nodded.

"Let's leave first, the others have arrived too." After saying this, Meteor Saint Heart looked up at the sky.

After saying that, his body disappeared from Gao Yang's sight.

Seeing this, Gao Yang also chose to dissipate his own body of rules.

After stepping out of the metal cabin, Gao Yang saw that the previously empty room was now filled with several people. In addition to Zhu Qing, the dwarf Caesar, and Roger, whom he had seen before, there were six more people, four men and two women. One of the couples was behaving intimately, and when Gao Yang came out to look at them, they were kissing passionately, oblivious to everyone else.

Besides the couple, there were three men and one woman. Among the three men, there was a young man of medium build with a staff floating beside him that emitted a strong magical aura, and all twenty of his fingers were covered with rings.

Yes, this man has four arms and a total of twenty fingers.

Gao Yang glanced at him. The other person's body proportions clearly indicated that he was a pure human. It was obvious that the two arms were implanted or grew by the other person later through some method.

In the multiverse, one of the most direct ways to determine whether a mage is powerful is to observe how many rings the mage wears.

As a very common and stable magical item, each ring contains a different spell, and therefore there is a magical repulsion between magical items.

The more powerful and crudely made a magical item is, the stronger its magical repulsion will be.

Therefore, many low-grade magical items often only allow the wearer to wear one or two. If too many are worn, the magical items will become ineffective due to the conflicting magical forces, and in severe cases, it may even cause a magical storm.

Clearly, this member of the Immortal Association mage, who wears rings on all twenty fingers, is an extremely powerful mage. Calling such a mage a "mage master" would be more appropriate.

Another man with long arms and a narrow waist carried a giant bow made of metal on his back. The bowstring was fiery red and emitted a strong aura of flames.

The third man appeared much more ordinary, with normal height and average looks; the kind of person you'd easily lose in a crowd.

But Gao Yang knew very well that people with this trait were most likely top-tier assassins.

In comparison, the last woman was much more outstanding. Her skin was as smooth as cream and her face as beautiful as a jade plate. Beneath her slender willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of radiant peach blossom eyes. Her figure was slender yet voluptuous, making her a true beauty.

In particular, she wore a pair of emerald earrings on each ear, each one deeper than a true emerald, which made her face appear even whiter and more striking as they swayed.

"Gao Yang, let me introduce you. This is one of the original members of our Immortal Association, the Super-Rank Magister - Baruch."

Fallen Saint Heart walked to Gao Yang's side and looked at the four-armed spellcaster youth.

Upon hearing the introduction of Meteor Sacred Heart, Baruch smiled and nodded at Gao Yang, saying, "This is the first time Meteor has recommended a member. I suppose you must be quite special, Gao Yang. Let's add each other as friends later."

Gao Yang simply nodded in acknowledgment, and before he could reply, he heard Meteor Saint Heart continue to introduce: "This is the God Hunter - Boqi. You can tell from his attire that he has an exceptionally flamboyant personality."

Poch turned his head, his gaze carrying an extremely penetrating power, as if nothing in the world could hide from him.

He looked at Meteor Saint Heart, curled his lip, and said, "Meteor, you'll die from that mouth of yours sooner or later."

After speaking, Boqi looked at Gao Yang with a smile on his face: "The association hasn't had any fresh blood for a long time. You should be able to pass me. Good luck."

Gao Yang nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

Meteor Saint Heart looked at the ordinary-looking middle-aged man and said, "This is Kong. You won't remember anything else. Just remember that his name is Kong."

Gao Yang looked at the other person, who gave him a gentle smile, and then said nothing more.

"As for this one, Ji Qiongyu, she comes from the same place as Zhu Qing, and she is also the most beautiful person in our association."

Upon hearing Yun Shengxin mention her name, Ji Qiongyu looked at Gao Yang and nodded slightly in greeting.

"You two, at least stop for a moment, there's a new couple here." Yun Shengxin looked at the two still hugging in the corner, her tone tinged with helplessness.

Only after being specifically pointed out by Meteor Saint Heart did the two separate. The exceptionally handsome man chuckled and said, "Sorry, I got too engrossed."

"These two are Qin Ying and Hui Ming."

After finishing speaking, the Fallen Saint Heart clapped his hands and said:

"Alright, we have quite a few people here. Does anyone object to Gao Yang joining the association?"

After the Fallen Saint Heart finished speaking, no one responded.

"Everyone is generally aware of Gao Yang's situation. Our Immortal Association is an organization without many constraints."

After Baruch finished speaking, he turned to Gao Yang and said, "If you'd like to join us, we'd be very happy to welcome you."

After Baruch finished speaking, everyone else nodded, indicating their respective positions.

Gao Yang and Baruch exchanged glances for a few moments, then Gao Yang smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing to take this opportunity."

"Okay, then it's approved."

Meteor Saint Heart patted Bochi’s thick arm happily, and then said, “Now that everyone is here, let’s start the first item on the agenda for this gathering.”

As per the order, it's my turn to host this time.
