Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 62 Simulation: "Oppose Exploitation, Refuse to Work for Free"

Roger is gone, but he left behind a wealth of information about the ring participants.

Hunzhen did not refuse, silently accepted it, and immediately began to browse it.

Despite his greatly improved strength and having passed the preliminary selection of the Space Nation in the simulation battle a long, long time ago, he still wouldn't let his guard down.

Those who have reached this point are all top-tier geniuses.

His strength hasn't reached the level of Berlan, which elevates him to a different dimension from the other contestants. If he's careless, there's a possibility that his opponent might find an opening and turn the tables on him.

Even if the possibility is extremely low, perhaps no more than one percent, Hunzhen would not allow it to happen.

While analyzing the data, a different idea also arose in Hunzhen's mind.

"This time, there's no need to participate in the Cycle of Reincarnation."

For Hunzhen at this stage, fighting against opponents whose strength is more than one level weaker than his own will not bring much combat experience.

With that time, studying the principles and digesting the insights that haven't been fully digested is obviously more efficient.

At the very least, it would be more valuable to go directly to the Killing Space and set up targeted training subjects to practice the operation of the Divine Weapon.

Before this enlightenment of the laws of soul inheritance, he hadn't even reached the threshold of truly unleashing the first move of the Primordial Spirit Weapon.

But now, having reached the threshold of the Law of Time, he is truly qualified to unleash the first form of the Primordial Divine Weapon.

To be precise, the first form of the Primordial Divine Weapon is divided into two types: the "Primordial Realm" type, which is based on space, and the "Light Splitting" type, which is based on time.

To unleash the Primal Boundary Style, one must reach the threshold of the spatial laws and gain some understanding of the temporal laws.

Conversely, using the spectral splitting method requires reaching a threshold in the laws of time and having some understanding of the laws of space.

The only one that reaches the threshold for use in the Hunzhen realm is the spectral splitting technique in the first level.

Just as he was about to test his current level, Hunzhen immediately entered the killing space.

Killspace remembers the last opponent data saved by the user before they left.

As for the opponent that Hunzhen set up in the final period yesterday...

"Hey, isn't this Brother Bolan? We meet again!"

Looking at the training character that appeared after he pinched its face, with a blank expression, Hunzhen even waved and greeted it politely.

This Berlan certainly doesn't have the strength of the original, and it's even highly questionable whether he has even one percent of the original's strength.

Yes, this is Bolan, whose energy was tied up by thousands of skilled fighters that day, and who could only use the Nine Illusions Form.

Yesterday, after numerous exchanges with the weakened Bolan in the Killing Space, Hunzhen once again deeply realized Bolan's strength.

Even if the strength is the same, when the situation changes from one against many to one against one, there is no need to consider energy consumption and the many hidden worries of being surrounded by enemies, Berlan's combat power suddenly increases by a lot.

Not only is it a unique spatial law, but even though he can only unleash the Nine Illusions, Hunzhen can clearly feel that the pressure exerted by Bolan's Nine Illusions is not on the same level as that of the opponents he has set up who can unleash the Nine Illusions.

Furthermore, the chilling and deadly laws of wind, combined with superb swordsmanship, dramatically increase its lethality. Even if it is not as powerful as Rong Jun's astonishing combat talent in a single situation, its power is by no means inferior under the enhancement of the Nine Illusionary Body.

Even though Hunzhen had a greater advantage in understanding the laws of time than Bolan, he was still repeatedly killed by him.

In the final battles, Hunzhen even gave up the idea of ​​forging the Yuan Divine Weapon. He used the Meteor Fire Divine Weapon, which was still his strongest weapon at this stage, but he was still no match for it and could not even injure Bolan.

"Will the outcome be different this time?"

Hunzhen's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he activated the killing space with his primordial spirit weapon.

In an instant, nine illusory figures attacked at high speed.

Hunzhen stood on a wheel of fire, which also conjured six illusory bodies.

At the same time, a palm-sized round bead was suddenly launched.

Buzzing—

As the Yuan Shenbing moved at high speed, it created clear spatial ripples, and the surrounding turbulent particles seemed to be attracted and flowed backward.

The Yuan Shenbing's intervention in the Berlan territory has already begun.

The azure energy surged forth like a sword reaching for the sky, colliding violently with the primordial spirit weapon.

"Right now!"

A fierce glint flashed in Hunzhen's eyes: "Splitter Style!"

Inside the primordial spirit weapon, the black and white light spots that had been flashing incessantly suddenly stopped and collapsed into pure white, and a beam of light suddenly shot out from it!

The cyan sword energy and the beam of light collided, and Bolan's illusory body swayed, unable to maintain its full strength. In the blink of an eye, only three of them remained at the same time.

Hunzhen suddenly accelerated, drew his longsword for close combat, and slashed with lightning speed!

This slash was as swift as a fleeting shadow, with countless dust particles flickering and shimmering within it. It was the "Dust Flash," a swift slash that the simulated human had comprehended after studying the laws of time in "Dust"!

Before long, Berlan's body suddenly disintegrated.

"What—"

Hunzhen stared wide-eyed, only then realizing that the beam of light from the Yuan Shen weapon had disappeared, and the internal light spots had returned to their original black and white chaotic colors.

call out!

The nine illusory bodies of Hunzhen unleashed a single strike, and an endless stream of azure energy swept in, blotting out the sky and instantly crushing Hunzhen into dust!

A few seconds later, the light and shadow reformed into a lifelike figure.

He looked at the indifferent Berlan, gritted his teeth, and said, "Again!"

He honed his control over his primordial spirit weapon in the killing space, returned to reality to digest the time insights inherited from the simulation, and occasionally reviewed his opponents' information in his spare time.

The latest novel is first published here!

It is foreseeable that this will be Hunzhen's daily routine in the month leading up to the arena battle.

However, his seemingly smooth daily routine took a slight turn on the second day.

After much hesitation, you finally followed the voice of your heart from eight years ago and chose to study and cultivate using the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

[Then, without the slightest hesitation, you chose the foundational secret technique of space, consuming the majority of your points to exchange for the space secret technique "Bloodstained Manual"]

Two years have passed in the original universe. You have been cultivating peacefully in the initial universe, but you have not been able to break through the first level of the Nine Heavens Bridge.

[This simulation has ended]

Please select the inheritance direction.

[1. Material Inheritance (Life Level Upgraded to Cosmic Level Ninth Order)]

[2. Soul Inheritance (Spatial Law Comprehension greatly improved; Wind Law Comprehension slightly improved; Acquired the Secret Technique "Bloodstained Manual"; Some combat experience; Some other experience...)]

3. Forgo the profits from this simulation.

"I'm so angry..."

Hunzhen stared wide-eyed at the simulation record, and after a long pause, he could only utter a single curse.

It's not a problem that I didn't miss out on the treasures related to the Law of Wind, but... what about the crucial Cosmic Chaos Stele!?

Sims, what's wrong with you?!

Sighing, for a moment, Hunzhen recalled the explanation in the last simulation record of the simulator's hesitation in choosing between the Chaos Monument and the arcane technique.

"No way, were there already signs back then!?"

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Hunzhen's mind.

Eight years, it's been eight years, and his influence is now negligible.

In the last simulation, perhaps having tasted the benefits of the rapid progress of the laws of time, coupled with the final straw that broke the camel's back, the simulated talents hesitated and chose the path of time.

But now he knows that he actually doesn't have much time or talent left, so why would he choose to waste his precious opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument and try to comprehend something that has no use?

Hunzhen asked himself, if one day he suddenly lost the simulation system and became an ordinary person who had no connection with the laws of time, would reaching the threshold of the laws of time be the limit in this lifetime...

"Only an idiot would choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument!"

Only an idiot would work for someone else for free!

I understand, but that doesn't prevent me from feeling genuine grief and sorrow.

"My understanding of time!"

"Simulated human, how are you going to repay me for the time you owe me?!"
