I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

............

One minute, just one minute.

Duanmu Lian saw countless shooting stars flying out from the cosmic leaves of the giant tree reaching to the sky.

And those shooting stars were actually figures, all different versions of Duanmu Lian.

Some of them transformed into streaks of light and flew over, some shot over at the speed of light, and others shrank the earth to an inch and burst through the air with golden light.

A minute later, Duanmu Lian's lips twitched slightly as she saw countless "selves" radiating powerful auras approaching her.

Their numbers are so large that they could fill hundreds of millions of football fields.

Furthermore, each of them is either muscular or tall, and there are even quite a few tough guys like Duanmu Lian from Fist of the North Star.

His arm muscles were even thicker and stronger than his thighs.

To be honest, even though Duanmu Lian is bold and has a strong will,

However, he was still somewhat intimidated by the presence of so many experts.

"Excuse me, please make way."

At this moment, Duanmu Lian, who had the fur of some unknown beast tied around his waist, wore a black bodysuit, and had a tall and strong physique like Broly in Super Saiyan form from Dragon Ball, squeezed out of the crowd.

Beside him followed a terrifying beast three times the size of a water buffalo.

This terrifying beast resembles a tiger, but it has two horns on its head and a pair of wings on its back.

Its appearance resembles Qiongqi, one of the four legendary ferocious beasts.

"Another successor to the path of martial arts. Hmm... your Nine Yang Divine Skill is quite good. You've actually managed to cultivate the Ten Yang Sacred Flame to such power at this level."

The strong and tall Duanmu Lian wore a smile that looked fierce but was actually very friendly.

He looked Duanmu Lian up and down, seeing right through him.

"So, what can I do for you?"

Looking at the memory of one of her past lives before her, Duanmu Lian's eyes held a hint of anticipation as she spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"There will be plenty of guidance in the future, but my advice to you is not to be complacent about your current achievements. With the foundation built up from our bones, those achievements are just like a baby learning to walk."

Muscle Lotus calmly reminded Duanmu Lian in front of him, making him suppress any satisfaction born from power.

As he spoke, many Duanmu Lians around him chuckled and raised their hands, igniting the colorful Ten Yang Sacred Flames.

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Lian's eye twitched, but she felt no surprise at all.

After all, the Nine Yang Divine Skill was something he had collected in one of his previous lives, and he already had quite a few cultivation fruits from Duanmu Lian.

As for the special features of the Ten Yang Sacred Flame?

I'm sorry, it might be special in other worlds or other places, but it's not particularly outstanding here.

"But only here. Don't completely resist satisfaction and emotion, for a martial artist that is no less than an epiphany."

At that moment, a calm and gentle female voice came from inside.

Duanmu Lian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful girl with a cool and aloof temperament, barefoot and accompanied by Duanmu Lian, who was wearing loose martial arts clothes, as they squeezed out of the crowd.

The girl had blue eyes and long, silver hair that reached her waist. Her blue eyes held a profound sense of vicissitude and gentleness.

At this moment, the young girl politely bowed to Duanmu Lian in a Japanese manner, and then spoke gently:

"Welcome, Ren. I am Tomoyo, also known as Sakagami Tomoyo or Duanmu Tomoyo. From now on, I will be your teacher in leg techniques. Once again... please take good care of me."

"...Please give me your guidance."

Looking at the silver-haired girl before him, who brought him some peace of mind but also exerted a terrifying pressure on his spirit, Duanmu Lian nodded.

The opponent was very strong, so strong that Duanmu Lian felt that when the opponent walked over, he would crush her like an ant.

The footsteps that had preceded him carried a strange and extremely oppressive melody, causing an indescribable throbbing pain to rise in his soul.

This made him glance at the girl's delicate little feet.

Beautiful, delicate feet should bring aesthetic appeal and attraction to the opposite sex.

But in Duanmu Lian's eyes, it was like some kind of monstrous flood.

Duanmu Lian's subtle actions caused countless people present to reveal knowing, malicious smiles.

Chapter 54 World-Destroying Tennis, Yuko Amamiya

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

These eight characters perfectly encapsulate Duanmu Lian's agonizing life in eternal hell.

Compared to the fully grown Duanmu Lian, the current Duanmu Lian is as powerless as an infant.

What someone said about Duanmu Lian before was very true; there is nothing for him to be complacent or proud of here.

Any random memory chip he picked would be many times stronger than him.

Whether it's strength, technique, willpower, wisdom, experience, or any other element that can lead to victory in battle, he is completely inferior to them.

That terrible gap.

It was like a magnetic field expert with 250,000 horsepower facing an ultimate expert with 250,000 trillion horsepower.

There is absolutely no comparison.

In the Eternal Abyss, a dimensional space filled with countless Duanmu Lians, the flow of time is the same as in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in Dragon Ball.

He has now been inside for five days, which is five years.

What Duanmu Lian needs to do here is quite simple.

That is to defeat the memory entities and absorb the skills, power, insights, and so on contained within them.

Because all the Duanmu Lians here belong to me, only their personalities, emotions, and consciousness are different.

Whether she gains new insights during her battles with them or recalls something from her own battles, Duanmu Lian will become even stronger.

However, in those five years, he only managed to obtain two memory units.

"boom----!"

The materialized starry sea imagery surged up like a raging storm. A tennis ball, dazzling even more brightly than a supernova, struck Duanmu Lian's body at a terrifying speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, shattering every atom in her body into nothingness.

The memory unit that delivered the blow, Ren, calmly lowered her tennis racket.

They watched helplessly as Duanmu Lian, whose body had been shattered, was restored to its original state under the special laws of the alternate dimension of Eternal Abyss.

There will be no casualties here. No matter how serious the injury, or even death, you will be restored in the next moment.

"Cough cough—drink up—!"

Having experienced the unmistakable feeling of death once again, Duanmu Lian collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Although he looked disheveled, his eyes were full of drive and a thirst for power.

"You still have a long way to go."

The memory entity Lian, dressed in sportswear, looked at Duanmu Lian, who was slumped on the ground, slung her tennis racket over her shoulder, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Go challenge other versions of yourself and improve yourself before trying to surpass me. Your state of selflessness needs time to accumulate experience and understanding before you can take another step forward."

"There's no reason why I can't reach the same level as I could in the past."

Duanmu Lian stood up from the ground, feeling the rapid progress in his energy and spirit, but he felt no joy.

There's nothing to be proud of or happy about; it's just picking up the power I once had again.

Since comprehending the "Selflessness Realm," Duanmu Lian's spiritual progress has led to a breakthrough in her physical body.

The enhanced impact has reached level twelve in the past five years.

But this progress only allowed him to defeat two Duanmu Lians in the past five years.

He possesses a stronger foundation, so his achievements should naturally be better, and that's what Duanmu Lian thought.

"It's no use. Your heart is still empty, unlike us who all have our own 'true self'."

Memory Lotus shook her head, seeing through Duanmu Lian's current state of mind, and clearly pointed out what he was lacking.

"The True Self?"

"Yes, the true self. We all want to be different, so we need to establish the most fundamental elements that make us different from others."

"then you......"

"I love tennis and I always want to improve my skills. I want to experience joy and emotion that is unique to me when I play tennis. No one in the eternal hell is like me."

Memory Lotus tossed the tennis ball in her hand, her eyes filled with pure and sincere emotions, and her tone was also filled with pride and enthusiasm.

If every Duanmu Lian wants to be different, then she must find out the fundamental reason why she is different.

He is different from other Duanmu Lians because of tennis, his skills, and his love for tennis.

"To be honest, my strength is not stronger than the others, because I cannot use tennis for killing and destruction."

Although this Duanmu Lian's tennis ball can break through dimensional barriers, penetrate time, and shatter the law of causality.

He could also use outrageous ball skills like faster-than-light speed, ultimate black holes, and the Big Bang to destroy the world, but he wouldn't do that.

Because of his pure love for tennis, he does not equate tennis with killing, destruction, or annihilation.

Although tennis is jokingly referred to as "murder tennis" in the world of Prince of Tennis, the actual number of tennis players who die or get injured is actually quite small.

At most, they can destroy bridges or castle-sized buildings, with the destructive power of artillery shells or missiles.

Since the human body has its limits and cannot achieve breakthroughs in physical aspects, those tennis players can only delve into areas such as mental and spiritual development.

Such as the state of selflessness, the path of Asura, the realm of another dimension, and so on.
