Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 196 Yang Wu, "Ordinary and Unremarkable"

With the Chaos City Lord's ability to control time and space, he could naturally tell the ages of these thousand geniuses at a glance.

The youngest among them is Luo Feng.

However, the other geniuses were not very old either, the oldest being only a few hundred years old.

Especially among the top-ranked geniuses in the Genius Battle, none of them are over a hundred years old.

Perhaps, before the Genius Battle begins, there will be older, Eternal Star-level "geniuses," but after several years of preliminary selection, these people will naturally be surpassed by the true geniuses. This is precisely why the Genius Battle has taken so long.

Yang Wu's age is considered very young among these thousand-plus geniuses.

However, this was not surprising to the Lord of Chaos City, who had even seen younger, peerless geniuses.

Of course, Yang Wu's understanding of the laws is among the best of these geniuses.

However, this still did not attract much attention from the Lord of Chaos City. After all, over the long years, the Lord of Chaos City had even seen many geniuses who were able to pass through the seven trial towers during the Genius Battle.

However, in his eyes at this moment, Yang Wu's talent was far too ordinary!

Even among any generation of geniuses, he would be just so ordinary.

However, Yang Wu's understanding of the laws was incredibly astonishing.

"Could it be that this little guy has reached such a level simply through his own comprehension?" The Chaos City Lord found it hard to believe.

His knowledge was incredibly broad, and he saw through all of Yang Wu's secrets at a glance.

He was over forty years old and had only used one extremely ordinary Domain Lord-level bloodline potion.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. But when combined with Yang Wu's performance in the Genius Battle and the background information about Yang Wu uncovered by the Virtual Universe Company, it becomes truly astounding.

They can cultivate in an environment created by taking a Marquis-level immortal as their master and by a realm lord like the Flaming Mountain.

Such a matter is utterly insignificant to the Lord of Chaos City.

It is fair to say that even a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs would probably not be able to achieve the same level of understanding of the laws at such a young age if he only had the same opportunities as Yang Wu!

In the vast universe, treasures and opportunities that enhance one's understanding of the laws are precious, but there are still many of them.

For example, comprehending sacred objects like the Chaos Stele, the Hollow Fruit that Bolan once consumed, the Golden Horned Beast that Luo Feng possessed, and some powerful bloodline talents...

All sorts of treasures and opportunities can greatly increase the speed at which one comprehends the laws.

"If this kid truly achieved what he has through his own innate talent, that's truly amazing!"

"Even Coty back then, although he was stronger than this kid at the same age, Coty's opportunities far surpassed his!"

Even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Given the same talent and external conditions, some people can comprehend the laws in ten years, while others need a hundred years, and some cannot comprehend them in a lifetime. This is the difference in one's own comprehension!

If one's natural talent is lacking, one can improve it by paying a price, such as by possessing another's body or by fusing and absorbing various precious treasures.

External conditions can also be created continuously, such as comprehending the Chaos Stele, receiving guidance from powerful individuals, or being guided by various precious secret techniques, etc.

However, the improvement of comprehension cannot be achieved through external forces!

"Good, good, good." The Chaos City Lord was overjoyed. Given his status, he certainly understood what such strong comprehension meant.

Moreover, once Yang Wu obtains precious secret techniques, the Chaos True Spirit, or even opportunities from various secret realm missions, his cultivation speed will likely be much faster than it is now.

By then, Yang Wu's cultivation speed will have increased significantly, and it wouldn't be surprising if he surpassed Coty and the others!

The Lord of Chaos City must take this kind of potential genius very seriously, no matter from any perspective.

However, the Lord of Chaos City himself was not too excited.

"The universe is vast and boundless. Perhaps this little fellow possesses an opportunity I cannot discover! Let's wait and see what he can achieve in these thirty years in Chaos City!"

The Lord of Chaos City stared at Yang Wu for a long time before finally looking away.

The spacetime he controlled around him gradually disappeared.

The bald man looked at the teacher in front of him with great surprise.

Because, incredibly, the Chaos City Lord in front of him actually had a smile on his face!

"Teacher?" the bald man asked softly.

"I've checked them all, and there's nothing unusual about them! However, a few interesting youngsters have emerged in this year's Genius Battle; they're exceptionally talented and should be nurtured!"

The Lord of Chaos City calmly ordered, "Guiyi, you may leave."

"Yes, teacher," the bald man, Venerable Guiyi, said respectfully.

Boom!

In a flash, the figure of Venerable Guiyi vanished from the ruins littered with corpses and reappeared in front of the quiet courtyard.

The Venerable Guiyi recalled his teacher's words and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"An interesting little guy? Very talented?"

Venerable Guiyi thought to himself, "It seems that this time, the Nine Swords will have some decent helpers!"

However, Venerable Guiyi didn't think too much about it. For him, knowing that all these geniuses were normal was enough to complete his mission!

……

Meanwhile, the Nine Swords Venerable, who had sent Yang Wu and other geniuses to the Initial Universe, did not leave. Instead, he went to a very large but rather simple mansion in a remote area of ​​Chaos City.

The gates of this mansion were as black as ink.

"Haha, it's rare to have a good friend come to visit!"

Just as the Nine Swords Venerable appeared at the entrance of the mansion, accompanied by a burst of laughter, the pitch-black gate opened automatically, and a three-eyed old man dressed in a linen robe walked out.

"It's been a long time, so I came to see you!" the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.

The two walked side by side into the living room. The three-eyed old man smiled and poured a glass of fruit wine for Nine Swords Venerable, saying, "Nine Swords, weren't you the one who brought some little ones over? What brings you to linger in Chaos City? Are you planning to take on disciples?"

Generally speaking, the Nine Swords Venerable only needs to send these geniuses to the initial universe; there is absolutely no need for them to stay behind.

Although a hundred years is nothing to the Venerable One, there is no need to waste it on some little guys.

"Haha! This year's Genius Battle has produced two rather promising youngsters. One of them has a very solid foundation, and I do indeed intend to take him on as a disciple," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile. "However, the final outcome will depend on which Chaos Stele he chooses!"

"Oh? I wonder what kind of genius could have inspired you, Nine Swords, to consider taking him as a disciple!"

The three-eyed old man immediately became interested. With a thought, a lot of information about this year's Genius Battle appeared in his mind.

He has lived for far too long, and the Genius Battle, which usually takes place once every five thousand years, cannot attract his attention at all. Therefore, he is unaware of the news about this year's Genius Battle.

However, given the three-eyed old man's rapid thinking, he quickly grasped all the information about the geniuses and then asked, "These two youngsters are indeed quite good. Which one have you taken a fancy to?"

"Of course it's Yang Wu!" the Nine Swords Venerable said directly. "Although Bolan's spatial talent is quite good, his ambition to study both the two superior laws of space and time simultaneously is far too arrogant!"

"Yes! This little guy is distracted by studying the Law of Wind; clearly, he intends to use it as a springboard to switch to studying the Law of Time!"

The three-eyed old man sighed, "A jack of all trades is a master of none. How difficult it is to simultaneously master time and space! Even you and I can't do it, let alone this little fellow!"

"That kid Yang Wu is much more reliable! I watched his battle videos, and he's already grasped the essence of the laws of space. If he chooses the right Chaos Stele, you might have another powerful immortal under your command in the future. If you nurture him properly, he might even have a sliver of hope of becoming a Space Venerable!"

"Nine Swords, you're in luck this time!"

"Haha, I just happened to take on a company assignment!" the Nine Swords Venerable said with a laugh. "However, Kander, if that little guy named Bolan really chooses the Cosmic Chaos Monument later, you should still try to persuade him against it!"

"Don't worry!" the three-eyed old man said calmly, "This is my duty. However, I think that Berlan is an extremely proud young man, and he probably won't change his mind until he suffers a little loss!"

"Indeed, these little guys haven't suffered any losses yet, so naturally they won't easily change their minds!" Nine Swords Venerable couldn't help but sigh.
