Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

As soon as Bai Yuan finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared on Bai Kaluo's face.

In this battle, he suffered another crushing defeat.

In fact, even if Baiyuan didn't use his special abilities, he might not necessarily lose to him.

The combined power of a hundred strikes was only enough to force Bai Yuan back.

If Baiyuan really wanted to avoid this blow, he did have a chance.

After the Hundred Cuts, he needed to recharge, but Bai Yuan did not.

The two chatted for a while longer before exiting the battle space.

Manluo saw everything and nodded secretly.

Bai Yuan's talent is indeed extraordinary. Among the nine-star rated experts of the same realm, probably less than 20% could withstand the power of Bai Kaluo's final strike head-on.

Bai Yuan not only blocked the attack, but he was also able to escape unscathed, which shows that his strength is among the top tier even among nine-star powerhouses.

-

After defeating Baikaro, Baiyuan successfully advanced to eight stars.

He then decisively defeated three more nine-star rated experts, eventually raising his own rating to nine stars.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Mission reward: 1 Enlightenment Points]

"Finally got it, time to leave."

Bai Yuan was excited. One enlightenment point was an opportunity for enlightenment, which could greatly improve his strength.

As for the decisive battle space, to be honest, it's not very useful to him.

After all, there was almost no opponent here who could truly threaten him.

The truly powerful individuals have long been recruited by various forces and rarely come here.

"Yuan, are you leaving?"

Just as Baiyuan was about to leave, Shisha's voice suddenly came.

At this time, Shi Sha had also advanced to nine stars. He wanted to come out for some fresh air and happened to meet Bai Yuan, who was about to leave.

Baiyuan looked at Shisha and said with a smile, "Yes, the virtual world is ultimately just a virtual world. You can't improve your genetic energy here. Your own cultivation level is the most important thing. How long do you plan to stay here?"

"Well... I was originally planning to stay for another two or three months, but after hearing what you said, I think I'll just leave now."

Lion Sha nodded.

Realm level is indeed more important. The higher the realm, the easier it is to comprehend the domain and cultivate secret techniques, and the improvement of strength and lifespan is irreplaceable.

Just as the two were about to leave together, a blond man with green eyes slowly walked over.

"Gentlemen, Lady Manluo requests your presence."

Lion Demon looked completely bewildered; he had no idea who Manluo was.

Bai Yuan was startled.

It's worth noting that in the original story, the Earth trio couldn't even get Manluo, the head of the Black Dragon Mountain Killing Field branch, to show up and invite them. Instead, Mingyu observed and tested them on her behalf.

Surely their talents aren't stronger than the original Earth trio?

Putting everything else aside, Hong's mastery of the Triple Light Domain at the planetary level alone puts him far ahead of them.

Although Shi Sha was able to comprehend a domain at the third level of the planetary realm, each level of domain represents a new realm, and the difficulty of comprehending it will only become more and more astonishing in the future.

Just like Thor, who comprehended his domain at the eighth level of the planetary realm, but even after breaking through to the first level of the celestial realm, his domain remained at the first level. This shows how exaggeratedly difficult it was to advance.

Bai Yuan estimated in his mind that if he wanted to reach Hong's level, he would need to spend at least two more enlightenment points.

"Please lead the way," Baiyuan said calmly.

Lion Demon also came closer and whispered inquiring about Manluo's identity.

Upon learning that the other party was actually the head of the killing field, he was immediately startled and was clearly intimidated by this identity.

Before long, the two were led to a meditation room on the second floor, where Manluo had been waiting for a long time.

The moment the two stepped into the room, an invisible pressure instantly filled the entire space.

Lion Demon's expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of crisis spread throughout his body like needles.

His body reacted instinctively, his muscles tensed, and he even subconsciously activated his own domain, assuming a fighting stance.

Bai Yuan also felt that his mind was greatly impacted, almost breaking down his strong defenses of reason.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to fight against that invisible impact.

"That was close, I almost lost my mental defenses." Baiyuan thought to himself, secretly shocked.

Little did she know, Manlu was even more shocked.

The mental energy he just released was strong enough to shake the will of an ordinary universe-level powerhouse.

Bai Yuan was able to withstand it, which means that his willpower is truly comparable to that of a cosmic level!

As for the Lion's Fury, its performance was quite remarkable.

Although he didn't rely entirely on willpower to withstand the attack like Baiyuan, he was able to instinctively enter battle mode and deploy his domain to defend himself, demonstrating that his willpower was equally outstanding, just not as amazing as Baiyuan's.

A moment later, Manluo slowly withdrew her mental pressure, and the suffocating pressure in the meditation room suddenly dissipated.

Manluo's gaze swept over the two of them, her eyes revealing admiration.

"You are all very good."

"Lion Demon, based on our previous observations and assessments, your talent can be classified as 'Level Two Elite'."

He then looked at Baiyuan, his tone becoming more serious.

He then looked at Baiyuan, his tone becoming more serious.

"As for Yuan, if we only consider his performance in the decisive battle space, I can only give him the rating of 'Level 2 Elite'."

"However, the strength of your will that you just displayed far surpasses that of others of the same level and generation. Based on this, I will classify your talent level as 'Level One Elite'."

"Huh! Isn't the Killing Arena rated using stars?" Lion Demon asked, looking bewildered.

Upon hearing this, Manlu immediately began to explain.

"The Killing Field is the Killing Field. I'm talking about the Virtual Universe Company. We're recruiting geniuses and elites in various universe countries. You two have good talent, so naturally I'd like to invite you to join us."

Upon hearing this, Lion Demon was immediately filled with excitement.

Virtual Universe Corporation is one of the five giants! Even for a native like him from a remote planet, the names of these five giants are what he hears most often after entering the universe.

Now that the Virtual Universe Company has actually invited him to join, how could he not be thrilled?

Seeing this, Baiyuan, who was standing nearby, didn't hesitate to pour cold water on the situation.

"Don't get too excited yet. What Lady Manluo means is that our talents might be considered outstanding within the Black Dragon Mountain Island area, but to step through the doors of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters is simply a pipe dream. I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't even be qualified to be gatekeepers."

Manlu nodded in agreement and continued, "Yuan is right. The company cultivates talent internally, dividing them into four levels: Special Grade, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade. However, this is just our Heilongshan branch's own classification standard."

Upon hearing this, Lion's newly ignited ambition instantly cooled down considerably.

It turns out that my talent, let alone in the entire universe, is not among the top tier even within the Black Dragon Mountain area.

"Hehe, there's no need to think that way. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire controls more than six thousand star systems. To stand out in such a vast area is already quite remarkable," Manluo comforted her.

"Getting back to the main point, if you are willing to join, Yuan will receive an 'S-type Bloodline Evolution Agent,' and Shi Sha will receive a 'Bloodline Evolution Agent,' plus a free choice of a secret technique."

"The Bloodline Evolution Agent can fundamentally transform your bloodline and foundation, making it more suitable for cultivation. Once your bloodline is improved, the speed of cultivating genetic energy will be much faster than before."
