Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 17 Sky Realm Star

"Unbelievable! Hunzhen defeated his opponent in just three moves! Congratulations to Hunzhen for winning this duel and earning the title of 'Warrior'!"

Amidst the cheers and shouts of the audience, Hunzhen silently left the stage with an indifferent expression.

Meanwhile, in a VIP box in the audience, a tall man with long silver hair and green eyes stared at Hunzhen's departing figure and raised an eyebrow.

"Is it an application of the domain? No, the attack time was too short. We need to observe further. Hopefully, his opponent will draw out his true strength next time. Xiao Xi, send me a message notification next time this Hunzhen warrior engages in a duel."

As the man's thoughts flickered, the auxiliary computer lit up slightly.

"Yes, Master."

There aren't many ordinary gladiators, but when Hunzhen obtained the title of Warrior, he finally attracted the attention of some sharp-eyed people.

And this, of course, is just the beginning.

Hunzhen was unaware that his behavior had attracted the attention of others, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared too much.

After making an appointment with the attendant at the Giant Axe Arena for his next duel, he chose to leave directly and began a leisurely stroll through the inner city of Azure Star.

As for third-tier telekinetic weapons?

Forget it, he felt that his second-tier weapon was more than enough to deal with these opponents at this stage. He should save up enough money to buy a fourth-tier weapon directly.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and with the excitement of starting a new game, Hunzhen began the simulation once again.

[In the second year, after diligently cultivating to the cosmic level, you left Azure Star and arrived at Void Realm Star. You discovered that countless other cosmic beings, like yourself, had come seeking opportunities. Among them were powerful beings ranging from planetary level to cosmic level.]

[The Void Realm Star is controlled by three major families, whose main branches all belong to the werewolf branch of the human-beastman race. They have offered you outsiders great rewards to join them and have told you about a corner of the "opportunity" you are hoping for—the Void Realm Star does indeed have a massive amount of high-purity Void Realm Crystals.]

Upon seeing this, Hunzhen immediately raised his eyebrows.

Space Crystal, as the name suggests, is a rare material with spatial properties. It is used in the construction of most spaceship structures.

High-purity Void Crystals are also an excellent material for crafting high-level spatial items and weapons. It is rumored that more than half of the nine divine weapons of the Controllers were made using high-purity Void Crystals.

It seems that the mining of a large amount of Void Crystals on Void Realm Star caused significant spatial fluctuations, which attracted so many busybodies.

Due to your exceptional talent, you gained greater favor from the three major families. After careful consideration, you joined the Drexel family, becoming a guest elder of the Grey Wolf family and sharing in the profits of the Void Crystal.

[In the fifth year, over the course of several years, you not only broke through to the second level of the cosmic level, but also discovered that while studying the spatial runes on the high-purity dimensional crystal, you often had occasional insights. Finally, you captured a thread of connection between the flight technique "Myriad Flows" and the laws of space, forming a perfect single-line flow.]

However, you also have doubts. The various signs discovered over the past few years suggest that this mine holds some secret unknown to outsiders.

In your sixth year, as a guest retainer of the Drexar family and the second-in-command of the underground mines, you gradually became accustomed to life on the planet Sky Realm. That year, the Drexar family extended an olive branch, inviting you to officially become a member of the family, to marry into the Drexar family, and to marry the family's eldest daughter, Teshir.

Over the years, you and Teshir had become acquainted. You knew she was a kind girl with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Most importantly, she inherited the fluffy ears and bushy tail unique to the gray wolf family. Having been alone in the universe for so long, you readily agreed to marry Teshir, with whom you shared mutual affection. Feeling your own limitations, you remarked that such a peaceful and carefree life might not be so bad. As for the secret of the mine? As long as you didn't delve into it, it was none of your concern.

"Hmm??"

Hunzhen's eyes widened immediately.

When he saw the Sim obtain the secret technique of "Ten Thousand Flows" from the Drexler family and thoroughly study the One Flow technique, Hunzhen was extremely satisfied.

But... things were going so well before, how did things suddenly turn around, and they started a family and married life?

Without any warning or concern?

"Bro, how could you fall for me so easily?!"

[In the seventh year, after joining the family's core, you were transferred from your original position to become a junior manager, continuing your carefree and uninhibited life.]

In the eighth year, it seemed that an unexpected change had occurred in the family, but whenever you asked your wife, she would evade the question and give you the runaround.

In the ninth year, one day, your wife seemed finally ready to reveal the family secret to you. But on your way home from work, you were assassinated by an unknown assailant, and you died.

[This simulation has ended]

Please select the inheritance direction.

[1. Material Inheritance (Your life level has been elevated to the second tier of the cosmic level. Your physical body has been contaminated in some way, and your affinity for space has slightly increased.)]

[2. Soul Inheritance (Completed the first level of "Myriad Threads Flow", slightly improved understanding of laws, and some other experience points)]

3. Forgo the profits from this simulation.

"Choose two."

The latest novel is first published here!

Having easily chosen the path of soul inheritance, the harvest this time was significantly greater than the previous ones, but Hunzhen frowned repeatedly.

Logically speaking, the Sims only die in the ninth year, and with the existence of special opportunities that make the benefits far exceed ten years, he can completely ignore it.

but……

"I'm very curious!"

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

The Sim has married into the Drexler family and now lives a peaceful and carefree life, enjoying the tranquility of the ocean and the warmth of spring flowers.

"An enemy? After all this time, the Black Oak Company has finally come knocking on our door? That's unlikely."

"So...it's related to this 'pollution'?"

When it comes to pollution, Hunzhen's first thought is the "strange things" in the original work.

Even if the three major families of Kekong Star have not yet revealed their trump cards, they are at most a domain lord-level power. How could they be associated with rare items?

This was, in fact, the first time Hunzhen had seen any gains in material inheritance other than an improvement in the level of life.

This pollution might be seen as a blessing by others.

However, since the system's answer is pollution, Hunzhen cannot choose to inherit it, for fear of any adverse effects.

With curiosity about the "copy" of the Sky Realm Star, Hunzhen familiarized himself with and experimented with the newly learned "Myriad Streams" in the virtual universe, while waiting for the next day to arrive.

Just after midnight, he disconnected and started a new round of simulation.
