Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 35 The Arrival of a Genius Warrior

In the palace of Yu Duan in the Northern Sea.

Just as his consciousness detached from the virtual universe, a faint light was projected from the right-hand light brain, revealing Tianran's figure.

"Master, the prize money for the ranking battle has been distributed. This time you ranked 2nd, breaking into the top ten for the first time, and the prize money is 10 Mixed Yuan Units!"

Naturally, I felt both excited and thrilled.

That's a full 10 Chaos Units. Even an ordinary Realm Lord level expert only has this much wealth. And total wealth and cash are two different things; most Realm Lords don't even have this much cash in their accounts.

"Look at you, so greedy for money. I don't know where you learned that from."

Yu Duan couldn't suppress a smile, but still 'scolded' Tian Ran.

Tian Ran was completely stunned, staring at Yu Duan with disbelief.

Who else could they have learned that from? How could you possibly say such a thing, Master!

"Take out one Primal Chaos Unit to purchase resources for Liujing to evolve to the peak of the Universe level. As for the rest... there's no need to spend money on them for now, so let's save them for later."

Yu Duan thought about it and realized that he didn't really have any expenses.

There's no need to buy secret techniques; the Time Sword Technique and the Flowing Light of Time Body Technique are enough for Yu Duan to use up to the Realm Lord level.

The same goes for weapons and equipment. In addition to the Time Sword and the Tier 5 Force Battle Suit, Yu Duan also has a Tier 5 Force Battle Boots that most Realm Lords do not have.

Aside from secret techniques and treasures, the only external factor that can enhance one's strength is a higher level of life genes.

This is too far removed from Yu Duan's reach; it's simply not something he can get involved in right now.

"Let's leave it at that for now. They're all just external possessions; there's no need to take them too seriously."

The World Ring on Yu Duan's right hand flashed, and the Time Sword reappeared.

Although Yu Duan plans to practice his movement techniques and improve his combat experience during these four years, it doesn't mean he won't work on progressing.

I still need to set aside half a day each day to practice the Time Sword Technique.

In the blink of an eye, the morning had passed.

"Goooooooooo!"

The crystal, resembling a silver slime, rolled over, its body displaying a loving and affectionate smile.

Then a 'hand' emerged from the silvery body, handing over a test tube containing a shimmering golden potion.

"Don't worry, the resources I prepared for you have already been ordered and will be delivered today."

Yu Duan took the test tube, drank the medicine inside in one gulp, and breathed a long sigh of relief as he felt his strength and primal force rapidly recover.

Upon hearing Yu Duan's words, Liu Jing jumped up and down twice, clearly very excited.

"In the afternoon, we need to practice our physical movements."

Since it's not about grinding progress, there's no need to stay in the real world.

Yu Duan's consciousness logged into the virtual universe and practiced movement techniques there.

If you encounter any questions during this process, you can directly ask Teacher Qinghuan Wang.

Although Kumixiu is a realm lord, he has not cultivated the "Time Flows" movement technique. It would be better for him to seek guidance from Master Qinghuan Wang in this regard.

Yu Duan actually has a pretty good understanding.

Or rather, anyone whose mindset can reach the level of harmony between humanity and nature will not have poor comprehension.

At least King Qinghuan was very satisfied with Yu Duan's comprehension, especially when answering Yu Duan's questions, Yu Duan was often able to apply what he learned to other situations.

"Teacher, I've had a question for a long time: why can the mysteries of the fundamental laws of time affect inertia?"

Yu Duan finally asked the question she wanted to know.

These words startled King Qinghuan, before he realized, "I almost forgot you come from a native planet; your understanding of inertia might be incorrect." "To understand this, you first need to understand what inertial mass is and what gravitational mass is. And the essence of gravity is the curvature of time and space. Let me put it this way..."

Yu Duan originally thought that Teacher Qinghuan Wang would explain the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of time to him.

Unexpectedly, King Qinghuan gave Yu Duan a half-day physics lesson.

"If you're interested, you can study physics."

"The essence of physics is actually the interaction of the ten fundamental laws, which is the external manifestation of the rules governing the operation of the universe. It can be helpful in understanding the mysteries of these laws."

"To truly understand the reason for the emergence of inertia, you need to grasp the profound essence of a deep-seated law of time."

King Qinghuan patted Yu Duan's shoulder as usual: "Your current understanding of the laws is not yet at the deeper level of the essence of the laws. Once you reach the universe level, you can try to comprehend them."

The afternoon passed just like that.

As night fell, the stars above the Beiming Holy Land moved to the other side of the holy land, and the vast starry night sky enveloped the entire holy land.

Although he's no longer grinding for progress, Yu Duan still tries to avoid sleeping whenever possible, waiting until he can't take it anymore.

Therefore, Yu Duan spent every night in the killing field, honing his combat experience.

Even now, Yu Duan's practical combat experience is not extensive. He rarely engages in battles, only occasionally sparring with friends.

As for the ranking matches, I easily defeated everyone, so there was no real improvement in experience.

……

Time passed quickly, and Yu Duan's daily training regimen remained unchanged.

In the morning, I practiced swordsmanship in the real world, and in the afternoon, I practiced movement techniques in the virtual universe, asking the teacher for guidance on my doubts. In the evening, I did all-night combat training.

In the killing field, even the most powerful stellar-level experts can be directly set up, so there's no shortage of opponents.

In this state of rigorous self-cultivation, Yu Duan made progress every day.

With increasing combat experience, he became more and more adept at using movement techniques.

His mastery of the laws was also improving, but compared to the direct advance from the Book of Cause and Effect, this slow progress was not obvious.

Day and night alternate, and time flies like an arrow.

One month, two months... half a year, a year.

About a year and a half after entering the third level of the Time Sword Technique, Yu Duan's movement skills also reached their limit.

From the very beginning, when using movement techniques, one can only barely reduce the effects of inertia on oneself.

Now, one can completely shield oneself from the effects of inertia in a short period of time. When one's movements are unleashed, one can turn at will as if a mirror were reflecting light, greatly improving both speed and agility.

However, this is still only the first level of movement techniques, the 'entry-level' stage.

According to Teacher Qinghuan Wang, this is a bottleneck period.

When Yu Duan's Time Sword reaches its third level of perfection, he will be able to break through the bottleneck and reach the first level of movement technique, the 'minor achievement' stage.

As for mastering the first level to the 'Great Perfection' level, that difficulty is equivalent to a spatial law comprehender who can unleash tens of thousands of illusionary bodies.

……

In the blink of an eye, a little over four years have passed.

If we count from the first year Yu Duan joined the Holy Land, this year will be his 20th year.

About six months ago, a message began to circulate among the star-level students in the Holy Land.

The next Virtual Universe Ultimate Genius Battle is about to begin!
