Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 63 Apology, Too Late

Ye Feng was full of confidence in his potential and ability to break through, so he had no such concerns.

But it's always good to learn more from the experiences of those who came before you; spending a little points and time gives you peace of mind.

He picked up his suitcase, preparing to take off and fly back to his own estate.

"Junior brother, wait a minute." A voice came from behind.

Ye Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw his fourth senior brother, Yun Lan, flying over with a smile on his face.

Fourth Senior Brother.

Ye Feng greeted him with a smile.

"Ye Feng, that Tu Yu King wants to see you. He apologized to you back then and asked me to act as his liaison," Yun Lan said bluntly.

King Tu Yu?

Ye Feng had a very deep impression of this peak-level King who directly revoked his access to the secret realm.

Although the cancellation of his access to the secret realm was a blessing in disguise, as he gained the opportunity to obtain two Chaos Monuments from his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, it did not mean he had to forgive him.

"Fourth Senior Brother, please help me refuse." Ye Feng was also straightforward.

Yunlan smiled and nodded indifferently.

Having helped his teacher with chores for years, Yunlan is naturally tactful and wouldn't offend Tu Yuwang over the slightest thing. However, if his junior brother doesn't see Tu Yuwang, he will only side with Ye Feng and won't say anything more.

After seeing Yunlan off, Ye Feng turned around and prepared to return to the primitive area.

"Brother Ye Feng." A loud, clear voice with the unique tone of a young boy suddenly rang out.

Ye Feng looked in the direction of the sound again and saw a silver streak of light fly over and land steadily on the green grass next to him.

The newcomer was clad in silver armor, his figure still bearing the immaturity of youth; he was none other than Uka, the genius prince of Manka Star. This fellow possessed a unique bloodline, resulting in an absurdly long growth cycle; he was still not fully an adult.

"Uka?" Ye Feng stopped and walked over with a smile. "Shouldn't you be fighting desperately in some secret realm right now, or secretly cultivating in seclusion? What brings you here to find me?"

"And you're one to talk!" Uka strode over, a look of displeasure on her face. "How many times have you skipped our small gatherings at Rain Mountain? You even disappeared from this year's large gathering. For the past ten years or so, you've been elusive in the virtual universe, what are you up to?"

"In the last ten years or so—time has been tight and tasks have been heavy—I haven't really been out and about much," Ye Feng explained simply.

With the mess in the Blood Luo World and the turmoil that followed his return, he hadn't spent much time in the virtual universe.

"Hey, Ye Feng." Uka suddenly leaned closer, lowered his voice mysteriously, and his fox-like eyes gleamed. "I'll tell you a big secret, it's fresh off the press."

"Oh? What secret?" Ye Feng found his expression somewhat amusing.

Uka chuckled, a hint of excitement in his voice: "I just got back from the Skybridge dimension, and guess what? That guy Berlan went to try and break through the Skybridge again today."

"That's it?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his expression saying, "Is this even news?"

This reaction discouraged Uka: "Hey, hey. What kind of attitude is that? That's Berlan, sticking to your genius, and you don't care at all?"

Influenced by Ye Feng, this "butterfly," Bolan in this life no longer stubbornly tried to tamper with the laws of time, but instead focused on exploring his terrifying spatial talent.

When he left Chaos City, he had already passed the 7th level of the Bridge to Heaven.

Over the years, with his talent, it would be natural for him to break through to the 8th or 9th level. Ye Feng didn't find it surprising at all.

Long Yun, Rong Jun, Wu Ka, Qian Shui, and Jia Lexi—these geniuses of their generation have all chosen their paths and are making steady progress. It's only natural that they would break through the Heavenly Bridge and achieve breakthroughs.

"Damn. Don't you have any sense of crisis at all?" Uka couldn't help but jump up and down, looking at Ye Feng's nonchalant attitude. "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold onto your 'number one' throne this year? Aren't you afraid that decades later, in the cosmic-level qualifying battle, you'll be defeated by Berlan?"

Ye Feng: "————"

Worried about being defeated by Berlan?

He was really "worried" to the extreme—so worried that he was preparing to break through to the Realm Lord level and go to the outer battlefield to fight against the Kings, yet he still had the mind to worry about these things?

Is this just playing house?

Ye Feng resisted the urge to roll his eyes, patted Uka on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Well, Uka, thank you for telling me this news. It's very valuable."

I'll go back and train hard, hoping to leave Berlan far behind.

After saying that, he picked up his treasure box and transformed into a streak of light, flying directly to his manor.

Uka looked in the direction Ye Feng disappeared, stroked his chin, and nodded with an "I understand" expression: "Tsk, I knew it. Brother Ye Feng pretends not to care, but he's definitely still concerned about Berlan's movements. Asking for information for him is definitely the right thing to do."

He flew away, completely satisfied.

Primitive area, Manor No. 114, study.

Ye Feng sat down at the large desk and solemnly opened the silver briefcase.

Inside the box lay three thick metal tomes. Ye Feng's gaze instantly locked onto the thickest one, "An Outline of Special Life Advancement (High Gene Level Edition)." This book was astonishingly large, nearly half a meter in length, width, and height, crafted entirely from a strange silver metal. Its pages shimmered with a restrained luster, and it contained thousands of pages, resting heavily at the bottom of the box.

"Special life forms—finally, I'll be able to systematically understand you." Ye Feng's eyes gleamed with a thirst for knowledge as he eagerly picked up the book.

The pages turned, producing a deep, pleasant metallic scraping sound. Ye Feng was completely absorbed in it.

[Special Life Forms] are ordinary races not formed through natural evolution, but created from the condensation of the universe's origin or mutations in its rules. Their life forms vary greatly, their genetic levels are exceptional, and their innate secret techniques are powerful.

The book begins by outlining the general characteristics of this special life form.

Ye Feng skimmed through the basic definitions, focusing his attention on the core part he cared about most—the hierarchical classification and advancement secrets of special life forms.

Unique life forms in the universe can be divided into four levels based on three dimensions: their origin, genetic level, and potential ceiling.

Bloodline inheritance types, such as the Golden Horned Beast, the Flame Star Beast, and the Illusionary Light Beast. They possess complete bloodline inheritance systems, with the twelve peak bloodlines being the most revered. Their genetic level is generally between 10 and 50 times higher, allowing them to reach the realm of a World Lord upon adulthood. They possess vast inherited memories; although their growth is slow, their potential is limitless, with an upper limit reaching the level of a Universe Lord.

Unique species, such as the Insect King, the Cold Whale, and the World Tree. These are "one of a kind" from the very beginning of the universe, or their very nature is drastically altered by extremely special circumstances. Their genetic level surpasses that of a hundred to a thousand times, their innate abilities are unpredictable, and their potential can reach the level of a true god. These life forms are extremely rare and often possess uniqueness.

The fundamental law of creation, the origin of all things ———

The introduction to the wide variety of special life forms excited him.
