Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 32 Killing Field
In the mysterious and powerful world of Swallowing the Stars, most cultivators stick together for warmth, and truly accomplished lone wolves are few and far between.

If Qi Yuan wants to rise to power quickly, joining a powerful force is essential.

Firstly, it provides a strong and reliable background, preventing others from ganging up on and targeting you when something happens.

Secondly, by leveraging the internal channels of a powerful force, he can more easily obtain valuable resources that are difficult for outsiders to access.

Whether you use it yourself or give it as a 'gift' from the system, it will be extremely suitable.
The virtual universe, the Eternal Empire, corresponds to the killing field on the island.

"Ta~"

Qi Yuan stepped into the rest hall of the killing field.

Previously, limited by his meager funds, he could only stand outside the killing field and watch.

Now that he has some assets, he can finally come in and experience it for himself!

Although it is called a hall, its interior is so vast that it is comparable to a huge city!

A golden 'scorching sun' hangs in the sky, as if it is constantly shining on the 'city' below.

However, the hall was sparsely populated, not as lively as I had imagined.

"The next stellar-level genius battle is at least three thousand years away. This is the fastest way I can think of to join a dominant force."

As Qi Yuan walked into the hall, he subtly observed the figures scattered throughout the hall, seemingly unintentionally.

However, even after he had quietly looked around every corner of the hall, he did not find any special person who immediately caught his attention.

"Could I be wrong? Well, this isn't the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and conscientious 'talent scouts' like Manluo aren't everywhere."

Qi Yuan was not disappointed, but quickly walked to a place in the lobby that looked like a 'service counter'.

"Hello, please help me link my bank account."

Qi Yuan smiled at a cute girl with short, ear-length hair and jewel-like green eyes behind the counter.

"Okay, please provide your virtual universe ID and bank account information."

My virtual universe account is:

A few minutes later, after completing all the formalities, Qi Yuan quickly walked towards a deserted corridor.

Behind him, the lovely girl who had just spoken to him had a strange smile in her jewel-like green eyes.
Light and shadow change.

They were in that corridor, but the next second the surroundings transformed into a vast starry sky.

Qi Yuan stood on a meteorite in the starry sky, a golden book appearing in his hand.

After just one glance, Qi Yuan understood the requirements for using this space.

"Using this killing space is simple; just shout into the air."

"Let me test my true level in this killing space first, and then I'll try the final battle space later!"

Qi Yuan closed the book, then shouted directly at the starry sky above:

"Simulated combat, the battle environment is an open field, thunderstorm weather, the opponent is a seventh-level stellar-level human martial artist, fifth level of domain, with extremely rich combat experience, both sides use the same second-level force battle sword, second-level battle suit."

[Application received. Begin match simulation!]

As a resounding voice rang out, the entire killing field began to change rapidly.

Boom~~
The original starry sky disappeared, replaced by a vast and boundless green wilderness.

"Boom!"

As bolts of lightning struck, dense raindrops began to fall from the sky over the entire wilderness.

Qi Yuan, dressed in a black Force battle suit and holding a second-tier Force battle sword, stood in the endless wilderness.

In front of him stood another warrior, also dressed in a black Tier 2 Force suit and wielding a black battle sword.

"Kill!" The moment the simulated figure materialized, it immediately charged towards Qi Yuan with bloodshot eyes!
"With the same strength, why would I be afraid of you? Come on!"

Qi Yuan smiled confidently, and charged forward with his sword drawn. At the same time, blinding bolts of lightning spread wildly, forming a lightning field around him in the blink of an eye.

"kill!"

Qi Yuan suddenly swung his blade, unleashing the power of the entire lightning domain in an instant!
However, the black-armored warrior did not flinch in the face of this powerful and overwhelming attack.

"cut!"

A low shout, as powerful as thunder, suddenly rang out!
A hazy purple light suddenly covered the black-armored warrior's originally jet-black Force Blade.

“Tsk~~~”

As if a hot knife were cutting through butter, the mighty lightning domain surrounding Qi Yuan was easily 'sliced' in half by that Force sword covered in a hazy purple light!
Yes, that means cutting it open!

Wherever the Force Blade passed, it seemed to shatter the surrounding lightning, creating a long, narrow 'vacuum' zone in the entire area!
"Pong!"

The battle blade, carrying a purple glow, easily shattered Qi Yuan's domain and continued its momentum, transforming into a blur as it swept directly towards Qi Yuan's neck!

"not good!"

Qi Yuan was secretly alarmed. His domain power instantly contracted, and a dazzling bolt of lightning shot out!

"puff!"

"puff!"

Two lines of blood spurted out simultaneously—

At the crucial moment, Qi Yuan's lightning bolt successfully beheaded the enemy, but he himself had half his head cleaved off by the enemy's battle blade covered in purple light.

"Whoo~"

The next second, Qi Yuan's body was completely restored.

"Holy crap, this killing field simulation is so realistic! I thought I was really going to die!"

Qi Yuan gasped for breath, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock he had just experienced.

"Is my actual combat skill level really that bad? If I don't unleash the 'Lightning' secret technique, I can't even beat the AI."

"By the way, was that opponent using a domain too? Is it even possible to use it like that?"

Qi Yuan recalled the purple glow emanating from his opponent's sword, and a faint understanding seemed to appear in his eyes!

This is a hidden feature of the killing field.

In the killing arena, opponents can be set at will, and the opponent he just set had the same physical attributes, realm, domain, and weapon as himself. The only difference was that the opponent had extremely rich combat experience and was extremely good at fighting.

In this way, he can easily gain experience by observing his opponent's fighting style and techniques during a fight.

After all, the opponent you set up is the same as yourself in terms of body, domain, etc. It's like fighting another version of yourself, so it's easy to gain some insights.

He can even set other conditions that are exactly the same as his own, but whose domain realm is slightly higher than his own.

Through such mutual verification in battle, it is easy to draw inferences from one instance to another, thereby breaking through the realm.

It can be said that for a cultivator like Qi Yuan who has extremely little combat experience, the simulated opponents in the killing field can definitely serve as an excellent sparring partner and teacher!

"This killing field is really a great place, but the daily cost of 3800 million Eternal Coins is a bit much. No, I can't waste time, or I'll lose a fortune!"

After resting briefly and digesting the insights gained from the previous battle, Qi Yuan immediately began the second simulated battle!
In the second battle, against an opponent of the same level, even though Qi Yuan was prepared, he was still quickly killed by the opponent without unleashing the "Lightning" secret technique!

The third battle, the fourth battle, the fifth battle.
Battle after battle, killed time and time again.
After 45 consecutive battles, Qi Yuan finally seemed to have vaguely grasped something.

The lightning domain around him, which was originally powerful every time it was used, suddenly contracted and instantly transformed into a layer of hazy purple light that swirled around the blade of the Force Blade.

This time, Qi Yuan finally managed to defeat his opponent with great difficulty without using "Thunder Light"!

The previous chapter was a bit too intense. After reading everyone's feedback, I've made some changes, removing the particularly unpleasant section and slightly adjusting the item return system. Those who have time can reread it~~~
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Looks like I really am a straight man; I can't embroider anything delicate.
We welcome everyone to continue monitoring and pointing out any shortcomings.
Hehe, of course I'll still shamelessly ask you all to continue reading! Please, everyone!
