Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 61 Win-Win

The most significant progress was made in spatial perception, with the main gains coming from the simulation's understanding of the initial universe within less than a year after the cosmic chaos monument was created.

However, it directly allowed Hunzhen's "Myriad Flow" movement technique, which originally could only unfold four illusionary bodies, to reach the level of six illusionary bodies, which is not far from Luo Feng's level of eight illusionary bodies before breaking through nine lines in the trial space in the original work.

Of course, the Nine-Line Flow is a huge bottleneck, symbolizing the realm where the laws of space truly touch the threshold. Breaking through from the Eight Illusionary Body to the perfect Nine Illusionary Body is no easier than breaking through from the One Illusionary Body to the Six Illusionary Body.

In the original story, Luo Feng relied on his understanding of the laws of metal and space to enter the realm of law, along with his consciousness strength of at least the seventh level of the universe and his mastery of the divine weapon, to be able to enter the top ten of the genius battle.

While the strength of Hunzhen's consciousness is considerably weaker in comparison, once his spatial comprehension reaches the threshold of the laws, he will have more than a 50% chance of entering the top 100.

The key point is still the time principle.

Still using fallen leaves as a reference point, Hunzhen conducted tests to verify his time acceleration and deceleration laws.

"Just barely reaching three times the speed?"

It felt as if he had been brought back to square one overnight, but Hunzhen was certain that his progress yesterday was not an illusion.

He once again entered a meditative state with a "time-overlooking" perspective.

Suddenly, the phantom of the Chaos Stele, filled with countless mysteries, seemed to appear in his mind.

However, unlike the Sims who were completely confused, this time, Hunzhen grasped the concept quite easily.

The accumulation of thousands of simulations formed his foundation, while comprehending the Chaos Stele was the spark of inspiration. Digesting this insight did not take Hunzhen too much time; after only a preliminary digestion, he opened his eyes again and confirmed the rapid progress he had made in his understanding of the laws of time.

call out--.

With a single slash, the high-speed strike, imperceptible to the naked eye, came to an end.

"Ten times the speed!?"

Despite it being his own slash, Hunzhen himself was utterly shocked.

"Am I really stepping into the threshold of higher-level laws???"

Happiness came so suddenly that, more than surprise, a feeling of astonishment lingered in my heart.

After a brief tremor, Hunzhen finally confirmed one fact—

His talent in the laws of time is no less than Berlan's talent in the laws of space.

He is the time-law version of Berlan!

However, his genius lies in his complete realism, which has little to do with being a simulator.

Through this test, Hunzhen roughly understood the reason and summarized a principle.

"The wisdom gained through time can only blossom and bear fruit after being filtered through one's own experience."

Only someone with a simulation system possesses such abilities; he is the time-law version of Berlan! A simulator without a simulation system remains just an ordinary person with terrible time affinity.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the simulator studies the laws of time, once he inherits the soul of the True Man, he will have the same level of understanding of time as his "true" aptitude!

The outcome wasn't as good as he had initially dreamed of, but it wasn't as bad as his worst-case scenario had been.

Most importantly, this was an unexpected bonus.

Following his original path focused on fire and space, and according to his predetermined plan, there is a very high probability that he will eventually be able to embark on the path to becoming a peak powerhouse.

Now, he confidently declares that as long as he doesn't perish halfway, becoming a strongman is only a matter of time. The question before him is no longer how to become a strongman, but what kind of strongman he should become.

Moreover, being quick in one step leads to being quick in every step. At this crucial juncture, it saves him the trouble of finding other opportunities to break through to the thousandth rank, and many problems that would otherwise have become variables will also be easily solved.

Just from the textual description of the soul inheritance, it is clear that compared to the cultivation opportunities in Chaos City and the enlightenment gained from the Chaos Stele, the extraordinary encounter on Void Star, which is so highly valued by the Domain Lord, is insignificant.

Rather than pursuing extra resources and risking accidents that could lead to missing out on every opportunity to cultivate in the Chaos City during simulations, the most profitable option is to spend this time on the virtual universe company's spaceship peacefully and without causing trouble.

"However, it will be quite a long time before we can enter Chaos City to cultivate, and we can't just let it go to waste. Since we've already found a decent wind-elemental opportunity in the previous simulation, let's have the simulator remember to exchange any extra funds they have for that resource in each simulation, shall we?"

As the first law to touch the threshold of the law, Hunzhen still has a strong affection for the law of wind.

Although this affection wasn't much, it was still much richer than the Fire Law that the stepfather had raised.

If his time affinity hadn't been measured to be so low, he would definitely have chosen the path of advancing through time using the Law of Wind as a stepping stone.

While it may not significantly improve his actual combat power, for the simulated humans, cultivating the Law of Wind can lower the threshold for comprehending the Law of Time.

The more insights a simulator can gain, the more insights it can filter and absorb.

In other words, it means his efficiency in comprehending the laws of time has increased again.

"A win-win situation! I won twice!"

Just as Hunzhen was feeling smug about his brilliance, a familiar voice entered his ears.

"True Essence!"

The voice came from a rare individual who had left a significant impression on Hunzhen, who immediately ordered the auxiliary computer to open the manor gate with a look of surprise.

"Lord Roger!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Who else could the visitor be but Roger, the deacon of the Giant Axe Arena stationed on Azure Star?

The silver-haired youth, who held real power, still wore that warm and welcoming smile as he approached Hunzhen.

"You little rascal, you've really given me a big surprise!"

Roger looked down at Hunzhen, making no attempt to hide his admiration, then shook his head with a sigh: "I never imagined that the little guy who gave me that fearless attitude back then would, in just two years, alarm my top superior. Our bet couldn't be hidden from them. That big shot sent me here personally to ask you, Hunzhen, do you have any thoughts about joining our Giant Axe Arena? Not the outer circle, but starting directly from the core!"

Looking at Roger's sincere face, Hunzhen was also somewhat shaken.

Becoming a core member of the Giant Axe Arena allows you to enjoy many of the benefits of Chaos City; it's just a matter of being in a different batch.

But after much deliberation, he shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Lord Roger, I'm not very interested in the training methods used in the Giant Axe Arena."

Roger stared at Hunzhen for a long time before finally sighing softly: "It seems that what you said back then wasn't just something you made up to negotiate with me. It can only be said that our Giant Axe Arena and you are destined to be apart."

"Fine."

Roger chuckled. "Now that we've finished business, let's talk about personal matters. So, are you confident you can break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe?"

Upon hearing this, Hunzhen's eyes shone brightly, and he smiled confidently, saying, "Of course. I dare say I'm fifty percent confident of making it into the top 100. Uncle Luo, do you believe me?"

Seeing Hunzhen's sly look, Roger smirked and slapped him hard on the head: "Goodness, you dare to tease your Uncle Roger after just a few days?"

Hunzhen looked helpless. "Why don't you believe me when I tell the truth?"

However, he also knew that based on the strength he had shown yesterday, it was still a bit uncertain whether he could even make it into the top 1,000. If he said he could make it into the top 100, outsiders would only think that Hunzhen was being arrogant. Only Roger would think that Hunzhen was joking.

"In that case..."

Roger suddenly brought up the bet agreement from back then and said, "Let's just destroy this thing ahead of time."

He unilaterally tore it apart.

Seeing this, Hunzhen smiled faintly: "Uncle Luo, believe me, I won't let you down!"

"snort!"

Roger raised an eyebrow, his expression authoritative without being angry, then his smile melted like ice, and he gently ruffled Jun's thick hair with his large hand: "Little guy, I've never doubted your talent!"
