Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 230 The Attention of the Nine Swords Venerable

In the virtual world, with its celestial-level regenerative abilities, the injuries had long since healed.

Bai Yang is in excellent condition right now.

As soon as he stepped into the first level, a massive horde of blood-haired mammoths began to trample him down with their iron hooves.

At this stage, every enemy possesses a territory.

Of the ten thousand ferocious beasts, not one is incapable of ranged attacks.

No one dared to stand still and take this attack head-on, not even Berlan.

Move! Keep moving!

This is the inevitable choice for everyone.

In these ten days, Bai Yang's greatest gain, besides creating a new clone, was that he roughly figured out how to use that kind of mental power.

This special psychic power, infused with spiritual energy, possesses some of the characteristics of inspiration from the original manga.

This has given Bai Yang an exceptionally strong combat instinct.

Looking at the large herd of blood-haired mammoths, he could immediately determine which area had the most beasts cultivating the earth element, and thus take precautions to avoid them.

As long as there is no influence from the [Gravity] technique, his speed advantage can be maintained indefinitely.

Hundreds of illusory forms appeared instantly, and Bai Yang easily concealed himself among them.

By constantly shifting their positions, the bulky and massive mammoths found their size to be their weakness.

Bai Yang can easily defeat them one by one.

"Good heavens! He's killing just as fast as he did at the fifth tower!"

One of the contestants, who had been watching him for a long time, couldn't help but say something to the person next to him.

"It's incredible, it seems like the difficulty level hasn't increased at all with him."

"The same was true for Berlan before; the fifth tower and the sixth tower seemed to treat him the same way."

"No! There are still differences. Have you noticed? Bai Yang avoids some of the Bloodmammoths in advance."

"Earth element law! Those ferocious beasts he dealt with in the end all possessed the earth element law."

How did he figure that out?

"I don't know! I can't figure it out at all! We have the exact same body, so we shouldn't have this kind of sensory ability."

Bai Yang stood on the edge of the beast horde, constantly targeting and killing these monsters by exploiting their weaknesses.

With the help of his new clone, his movement skills improved at an accelerated pace.

His comprehension had doubled, resulting in an increasing number of his speed illusions and a wider coverage area.

Forging Mingfeng's combat power at the second level, [Vertical and Horizontal], is constantly pushing towards its limit.

Among these ferocious beasts, those skilled in speed are cultivators of the laws of light, lightning, and wind.

Because they could get close to him quickly, they died even faster.

He quickly slaughtered all three types of ferocious beasts, numbering approximately three thousand.

The remaining blood-haired mammoths, whose speed was far enough to leave him in the dust, would be gradually eliminated; it was only a matter of time.

Bai Yang did not slack off. He killed the last of the ferocious beasts at his fastest speed, and then continued to rest and meditate.

"He! He passed!" The green-haired youth, Feng Lun, looked at all of this in disbelief.

"Yes... he's second in the universe!"

Rong Jun watched this scene with mixed feelings of excitement and emotion.

"Using the same laws and swordsmanship, he is so much stronger than me."

Ai Chen looked at Bai Yang on the screen, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Unlike the obscure Earth, Aichen comes from the Dream Wing Clan.

This is a human race that, upon reaching adulthood, can become cosmic-level beings.

If we were to draw an analogy with the demon race, they would be the high-ranking royal families below the eighteen royal families.

Like Manka Star, the Wild God Clan, Mother Ancestor Star, and other super-planet of humanity.

They even popularized the "Pool of Life," allowing everyone to directly reach the cosmic-level 9th ​​rank upon reaching adulthood.

"My conditions are far better than his. How did he cultivate?"

The two people were so alike, yet the other had such high achievements despite a low birth. Ai Chen couldn't help but become more and more curious about Bai Yang.

Meanwhile, the contestants, including Prince Uka of Manka Star, who came from powerful human factions, were also very shocked.

Their pride made them more willing to admit that they started from a higher starting line, and they admired Bai Yang even more.

"A disciple of a realm lord?" Many people dug up Bai Yang's past experiences.

"Incredible! Berlan's teacher was also immortal!"

"How exactly did he train?"

"A mechanical warrior!?"

"Did he acquire this power by modifying himself?"

Does that mean he's a scientific genius?!

The immortals present also frowned slightly.

Bai Yang is a mechanical martial artist, so of course they had already figured it out.

He had previously separated his consciousness into a separate entity, which naturally couldn't be hidden from them.

The sudden increase in comprehension is even more obvious.

"Inform the Venerable One."

If that's true, then Bai Yang's value is far greater than that of an ordinary combat genius.

"I second that! This is a major event that could affect the entire tribe."

An urgent email was swiftly sent to the Nine Swords Venerable, who was in charge of this year's Cosmic Genius Battle.

In the virtual universe, in the independent dimension of the Nine Swords Venerable.

King Longyu, clad in jade armor, gently opened the email and quickly glanced through it.

As the head of the Venerable One's staff, she was responsible for most of the daily affairs.

"A genius-level AI-powered martial artist under a hundred years old? Suspected of possessing astonishing scientific talent?"

King Longyu knew this matter was important and immediately reported the news.

The Nine Swords Venerable sat on his throne, staring intently at the screen before him.

The screen above shows Berlan's progress; he has now reached the seventh floor of the sixth tower.

We've been fighting here for several days now.

"To think he could use so many Zerg to hone his skills. What a proud little guy."

The Nine Swords Venerable was somewhat disapproving of this approach.

While I was pondering this, I suddenly received a message from King Longyu.

"Bai Yang? A genius in the mechanical engineering field?"

Curious, he opened the email to take a closer look, and suddenly waved his right hand.

In the hall where he was, two brand new screens appeared.

On the left and right, respectively, play Bai Yang's different performances before and after clearing the seventh floor of the fifth tower.

"His comprehension has indeed improved, and the increase is significant."

Although there are no signs of new modifications to the body, there is a possibility of it becoming a clone.

But it certainly deserves attention.

The Nine Swords Venerable muttered to himself as he watched.

"Then Bai Yang, add him to the list of key individuals to be monitored by the clan, in the scientific section."

With a command from the Nine Swords Venerable, a certain list within the virtual company was changed.

Bored, the Nine Swords Venerable watched Bai Yang's video for a while longer.

"Huh? His method of generating power... it sounds like my swordsmanship!"

Nine Swords Venerable suddenly became curious as he watched Bai Yang clearly use the sword moves of the "Heavenly Dome Star Sword".

But with his keen eyesight, it wasn't hard for him to see that the way the other man exerted his power was actually similar to his own [Secret Sword Technique]!

He immediately became curious and began to use his privileges to search.

Soon, Bai Yang's appearance when he first entered the virtual universe, still using the [Huashan Sword], was displayed.

"I see. This person's talent in the White Sun Sword Technique is indeed remarkable."

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled with satisfaction.
