Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 99 The Passing of Time

Over the next few days, two pieces of news spread like wildfire throughout Chaos City—

Zhou Yang, a member of this year's Genius Battle, successfully passed the fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven and was accepted as a personal disciple by Lord Kander, the guardian of the Chaos Monument.

Each of these two things, taken individually, is enough to shock everyone.

Now it has actually happened to the same person.

In an instant, many people went into a frenzy.

……

On the training ground, the white-robed youth's figure suddenly stopped, and the blood sword in his hand fell to the ground.

He stood silently in place, a conflicted and struggling look flashing across his eyes.

On one side of the training ground, a towering figure was watching him silently without uttering a word.

After a long while, the young man in white robes awoke from his shock.

He picked up the blood-stained sword that had fallen to the ground and silently walked up to the imposing figure.

"Teacher, I was wrong."

A satisfied smile appeared on the face of the imposing figure.

"good……"

"The Guardian himself is accepting apprentices!"

On the rooftop of a residence in Chaos City, Long Yun, wearing a bull-horned helmet, clenched his fists, his face filled with madness and resentment.

"Why, why, even though I've tried so hard, the gap between us is still so huge. I can't even get past the first level."

"Zhou Yang, Bo Lan... they are already highly talented, and now they both have powerful teachers guiding them. If this continues, the gap between me and them will only widen!"

"Calm down, I must calm down."

Long Yun closed her eyes and murmured softly, "Yes, one step at a time. I can't let them affect my mindset. A chaotic mind is destined to fail. I must stay calm, stay calm."

After a long while, Long Yun's mind gradually calmed down, and he devoted himself to more focused cultivation.

"Brother, let's do our best too!"

In the manor of the Primordial Zone of the virtual universe, the green-haired girl Qianshui spoke to her brother.

Under Zhou Yang's stimulation, each of the geniuses unleashed astonishing motivation!

Each of them is a top genius from their respective universe, and naturally they are unwilling to lag behind others.

Everyone is putting in their best effort to catch up!

Seven days later, Rong Jun and the others finished comprehending the Chaos Stele and immediately took on the Tongtian Bridge challenge.

Rong Jun and Luo Feng passed the first level, and Rong Jun was even accepted as a disciple by the Yuan Chen Kingdom Lord, which further boosted everyone's motivation.

Six months later, Berlan challenged the Bridge to Heaven again and successfully passed the third level!

Three months later, Longyun, Galesi, and Gusiluo successfully passed the first level!

A year after entering Chaos City, Prince Uka of Manka Star, Qian Shui, one of the genius siblings, and several others from the Primordial District all passed through the first level of the Sky Bridge.

In the second and third years in Chaos City, many geniuses from the Heavenly Region and the Apocalypse Region began to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven in large numbers, while Rong Jun and Luo Feng once again broke through and passed through the second level.

The fourth year, the fifth year, and the sixth year.

Time passed slowly, and the group of geniuses dared not relax for a moment, as news of someone successfully crossing the Heavenly Bridge kept coming in.

As the target of many geniuses, Zhou Yang naturally couldn't relax either, and he also became engrossed in focused cultivation.

After becoming a disciple of Kandri, he truly realized how important it is to have a dedicated teacher on the path of spiritual practice!

In the past, whether it was him, or Luo Feng, Hong and others, they were all self-taught and basically learned cultivation on their own.

Although he later obtained the inheritance of Meteorite Star, he even purchased powerful secret manuals from the treasure vault of Virtual Universe Company after the Genius Battle.

However, a manual is still just a manual, and it inevitably contains parts that are obscure and difficult to understand.

In the past, when they encountered this situation, they could only silently accumulate their understanding and gradually comprehend it over time.

At this time, if there were a knowledgeable teacher who could provide targeted explanations and guidance when he felt confused, it would definitely save a lot of time!

Now, Candri has perfectly filled the void of "teacher" that Zhou Yang has always lacked!

During his time in Chaos City, Zhou Yang continued to dedicate half of his consciousness to cultivating the "Three Souls Nine Refinements," constantly strengthening his soul power.

He usually sits cross-legged on the rooftop of his residence, watching the mysterious laws and patterns in the cracks of the primordial universe sky while silently comprehending the cultivation of "Life Evolution".

Every ten days, he can consult with Kander through the virtual universe.

The questions he raised were as simple as children playing house in the eyes of powerful figures like Kanderina; a few words were enough to make him instantly understand.

When his daily insights accumulate to a certain level, he will use the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele to unleash his inner insights completely!

In this regular and fulfilling life, Zhou Yang's skills improved almost every day!

Time flies~

In the blink of an eye, 30 years have passed!

On the rooftop of a residence in Chaos City, Zhou Yang slowly opened his eyes as Babata called out to him.

For a moment, a tangible light seemed to burst forth in his pupils, only to quickly recede.

Looking into his eyes again, they were like two deep pools, their reflections unfathomable.

"Zhou Yang, you only have one month left before leaving Chaos City. Don't forget to cross the Heavenly Bridge and continue your study of the Chaos Stele!"

Babata reminded him again.

"Only one month left? Time flies!"

Zhou Yang stood up with a faint smile.

"Babata, how's the situation with the others trying to cross the skybridge?"

"The current highest record is the sixth floor, which is you and Berlan."

"Furthermore, Luo Feng passed the fifth level, Rong Jun passed the fourth level, and the others passed the third level at most."

Babata replied quickly.

Then, its tone changed, and it muttered:

"Zhou Yang, you need to show your true skills. It's been almost fifteen years since you last crossed the Tongtian Bridge."

In the past fifteen years, especially after Berlan passed the sixth level three years ago, many people said he had caught up with you, or even surpassed you, and that you had exhausted your potential.

"Oh? You mean I've exhausted my potential?"

After Babata stopped talking, Zhou Yang chuckled softly.

I passed the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven in the fifteenth year after entering Chaos City.

However, there was a major hurdle between the sixth and seventh floors, which was more than ten times more difficult than before. I was defeated without any resistance.

After that, he was so engrossed in cultivation and improvement that he never tried to cross the Heavenly Bridge again. Unexpectedly, this gave others the illusion that he had exhausted his potential.

"My teacher once said that some higher-ups thought I didn't deserve the title of a genius from the Million Era."

"Now, everyone thinks I've exhausted my potential."

The smile on Zhou Yang's lips gradually spread.

Now that I have the backing of Virtual Universe Company, both my own safety and the safety of the Earth are greatly guaranteed, and I no longer need to be as cautious as before.

Moreover, according to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, the stronger the talent shown, the more attention they receive, and the more resources and training they can get!

So

"Babata, help me connect to the Skybridge dimension!"
