Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 73 Teaching

As soon as Yang Wu stepped out of the trial space, he saw a bald monk walking towards him.

"Yang Wu, you're something else! Your Trial Tower level has surpassed Brother Hong's all at once!" Thor said with a smile, appearing very friendly.

Upon seeing the man's bald head, Yang Wu immediately guessed his identity: the world's second strongest being, Thor.

"Second Speaker, I was just lucky!" Yang Wu said modestly.

"Why are you calling me Second Speaker?" Thor said, displeased. "If you respect me, just call me Brother Thor!"

"Brother Lei!" Yang Wu readily agreed.

"Yang Wu!" Hong also walked over, smiling, and said, "Your physical abilities probably haven't reached the peak of a high-level War God yet!"

At first, Hong believed that Yang Wu's physical attributes had reached the peak of the God of War realm, which explained his invincible God of War strength, and he was secretly astonished. After all, improving physical attributes at the God of War stage is quite difficult.

After seeing Yang Wu's Trial Tower level, Hong Cai made some guesses.

"Yes, Master!" Yang Wu said, "I'm still a ways off from the peak of the God of War realm!"

At this moment, Hong waved his hand, and the three of them appeared in a small conference room in the War God Palace.

"Improving physical fitness isn't difficult!" Thor said from the side after the three of them sat down. "Although some precious treasures are rare now, there are still some renewable resources like dragon blood and chalcedony."

"However, none of these things are the most important." Lei Shenfeng changed the subject and said, "Yang Wu, tell me in detail how you passed the sixth level of the Trial Tower!"

Thor smiled and said gently, "Hong and I thought about it for a long time, and we both felt that you'd need to exert at least ten times the normal force to get through the sixth level!"

"You guessed perfectly!" Yang Wu thought to himself in amazement.

However, Yang Wu didn't know how to answer the other party.

He was able to increase his power by 15 times because he practiced the "Secret Manual of Martial Arts 289 Forms." This manual, however, was a legacy from the Meteorite Star within the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins. If he were to pass on the manual to Hong and the Thunder God, they might encounter considerable trouble when entering the No. 9 Ruins.

However, Yang Wu thought about it again and realized he had nothing to be afraid of. After all, he had never actually entered Ruins No. 9, and who could possibly notice the few times he had entered during the simulations?

I could easily say that I got this manual from somewhere else. Could the AI ​​that controls the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins really discover something?

Seeing that Yang Wu remained silent for a long time, Hong and Lei Shen exchanged a glance.

"Is there a problem?" Hong asked Yang Wu.

"Master, I'm trying to figure out how to say it."

Yang Wu took a deep breath and said, "Master, Brother Lei, I'm sure you're aware that there are mysterious cosmic traditions existing on Earth!"

Hong and Thor nodded simultaneously.

"Of course we know that!" Thor said with a smile. "It seems you've learned something, Yang Wu. We were planning to tell you some things, but it seems you already know."

When powerful figures on Earth talk about relics, they usually refer to relics of ancient civilizations. However, Yang Wu directly says that they are mysterious inheritances in the universe, which clearly indicates that he already knows the truth.

"I know far more than you can imagine!" Yang Wu thought to himself with a wry smile.

According to the original story, the strongest beings Hong and Thor knew at this point were only at the cosmic level. However, above the cosmic level, there were countless other realms, and even beyond the primordial universe, there existed the cosmic sea...

However, now is not the time to talk to them about these things.

Yang Wu continued, "I also obtained a mysterious inheritance by chance. Within the inheritance was a manual for practicing power generation, 'The 289 Secret Techniques of Martial Arts.' It was through practicing this manual that I increased my power generation by more than tenfold!"

"What kind of inheritance?" Hong asked. "What are the conditions?"

"Where did you obtain this inheritance?" Thor asked as well. "How can one enter it?"

"After I received the inheritance, it disappeared!" Yang Wu said helplessly.

He fabricated all the stories about the inheritance, so where would he find a real one to tell Hong and Lei Shen?

Hong and Lei Shen were disappointed after hearing this.

The two of them had also obtained some inheritances from the universe, but they were all very basic and low-level inheritances. After the two of them merged and sorted them out, they were able to barely create secret manuals such as "World Destruction" and "Nine-fold Thunder Blade".

Even the most powerful "Ninefold Thunder Blade" only reached seven times the normal strength.

"Although the tradition has been lost, however..." Yang Wu said with a smile, "I can pass on the secret manual to you, the masters!"

"Really?" Hong and Thor were both quite excited.

Both of them possessed exceptional intelligence, but they lacked proper guidance, leading them down many detours. Even so, they could still be considered remarkably talented.

If they could obtain Yang Wu's cultivation manual, their strength would likely increase significantly.

"Of course!" Yang Wu said confidently, "Give me paper and pen, and I can write it down from memory right now!"

While this "Secret Manual of Martial Arts 289 Forms" is not bad on Earth, it might be considered the most basic stuff in the universe. Yang Wu wouldn't be so obsessed with it.

Moreover, since Hong and Thor were willing to sacrifice themselves for Earth, Yang Wu was quite willing to pass on his secrets to them.

The three of them were in a virtual space. Hong waved his hand, and a table appeared in front of Yang Wu with paper and pen on it.

Yang Wu picked up his pen and silently wrote down all the contents of the secret manual he had mastered.

Hong and Lei Shen silently gazed at the manual written by Yang Wu, as if possessed.

"My God, that's how he exerts force!" Thor couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. "Compared to his Ninefold Thunder Blade, it's like child's play!"

"So that's how you exert force!" Hong, standing to the side, was also fascinated as he read the manual.

The exclamations of surprise ceased abruptly shortly afterward, as the two had already finished reading the entire manual.

Hong and Lei Shen quickly looked at Yang Wu: "Yang Wu, what about the rest? There should be more, right?"

With their keen eyesight, they could naturally see that this manual was incomplete.

"That's all I know for now!" Yang Wu shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Hong and Thor couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces.

"Temporarily?" Thor seemed to have grasped a key word and quickly asked, "So, Yang Wu, you still have a chance to obtain the subsequent secret manuals?"

Yang Wu nodded and said, "It's only a possibility!"

"That's pretty good too!" Thor exclaimed.

Hong and Lei Shen naturally wanted to know how Yang Wu obtained the secret manual, but they also knew that everyone has their own secrets.

Moreover, if it weren't for Yang Wu, they wouldn't even be able to obtain these secret manuals now.

Therefore, the two tacitly avoided mentioning the matter again.

"Yang Wu!"

Hong waved his hand, and a virtual projection appeared on the wall of the conference room, densely labeled with various treasures.

"Since you've passed on such a precious secret to me, I won't be stingy. You can choose any of my many treasures!"

"Me too!"

Thor said the same thing, but he was not the controller of the virtual space, so he simply took out a book from his pocket that contained various treasures.

Yang Wu had originally intended to exchange some treasures with Hong, but he didn't have any suitable items to offer. Now that such an opportunity had presented itself, how could he miss it?

Of the dozens of ruins on Earth, apart from the three major forbidden zones, most have already been explored by the major powers on Earth.

Hong and Thor, being far more powerful than anyone else on Earth, naturally reaped the greatest rewards.

Yang Wu carefully browsed through the list of treasures provided by the two.

Hong and Lei Shen weren't in a hurry; they just watched quietly from the sidelines. Since Yang Wu was willing to impart his secret techniques to them for free, they naturally wouldn't be stingy.

After looking at it for a long time, Yang Wu finally made his choice.

Among Hong's many treasures, Yang Wu chose a spatial ring and a "Qiankun"-class intelligent fighter jet; while among the treasures provided by Thor, Yang Wu chose an ancient civilization gravity chamber and a plant spirit that could improve physical fitness!

After Yang Wu selected the treasure, both Hong and Lei Shen felt a pang of heartache.

The intelligent fighter jets and the spirits of plants were fine; although precious, they weren't enough to cause them heartache. But the spatial ring and the ancient civilization's gravity chamber were rare treasures.

Of course, although the two were somewhat heartbroken, they were mostly happy.

After all, any treasure is just an external force, but the secret manual provided by Yang Wu can greatly improve their strength.

"Yang Wu!" Hong said with a smile, "You have excellent taste!"

Yang Wu smiled but didn't say anything.

Having been familiar with the original work, he naturally knew what was more precious.

"Yang Wu!" Hong's expression suddenly turned serious. "You've received a mysterious inheritance from the universe, so you must have some understanding of it!"

Thor also looked at Yang Wu with a serious expression.

Yang Wu nodded; he knew far too much.

"The more we know, the more it reveals our insignificance!" Thor's voice was heavy. "If one day Earth is discovered by extraterrestrial forces, then we humans will absolutely not be able to escape the fate of being oppressed!"

"Only by becoming stronger can we create a better future for humanity!"

"Yang Wu, you have great talent and a high chance of becoming a new pillar of humanity! Keep cultivating and strive to reach the planetary level as soon as possible!"

Yang Wu nodded heavily.

"Alright!" Hong waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Yang Wu, now that your strength has reached the level of a councilor, you should be appointed as the inspector of my Limitless Martial Arts Academy. You can choose a day you like, and I will publicly appoint you as the sixth inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy!"

"Master!" Yang Wu waved his hand in refusal, saying, "There's no need for such a fuss. I don't like attracting attention!"

Beyond the level of a War God? Only at the planetary level!

Such strength might be considered decent on Earth, but it would be insignificant in the vast universe.

"Then we'll just notify the top leaders of the major powers separately!" Hong said.

"Okay!" This time Yang Wu did not refuse.
