I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Fortunately, so far there have been no abnormal situations, which means that Luo Yuan's performance has been perfect and has not allowed those super strong people to find any problems. For these geniuses, the key to coming here for training is not to improve their strength in a short period of time, but to demonstrate their adaptability through their usual performance, especially their ability to control the rules of an unfamiliar universe.

Only in this way can their comprehensive strength be demonstrated, which is very important. Of course, this is also the way to truly observe the specific situation of these geniuses, especially their origins, because the original strength of these geniuses has been completely sealed, so when they encounter danger...

If they could perish here without using their original power, all their efforts would be in vain. In particular, some geniuses might use a portion of their previous power to accelerate their cultivation process in order to achieve better results.

They want to give themselves an advantage over other geniuses, but this also means they will be discovered and eliminated by the super strong. In this situation, all geniuses know that the most important thing is to cultivate patiently and diligently and adapt to the current environment.

Even if they were extremely unwilling, they couldn't directly use their previous power, because if they violated the rules, they would lose their eligibility to compete. Now, everyone was basically starting from the same point, so their performance would determine the resources and status they could obtain in the future.

Therefore, they must use all means necessary. Their performance during the growth process also reflects their state of mind. Anyone who can achieve a high ranking and corresponding results in this trial will eventually gain a lot of resources and status, and will naturally grow up to become a true guardian of this universe.

As for those outsiders who will be discovered and eliminated in such thoughts, and those geniuses with average strength and talent, they will eventually be exposed and eliminated. However, their path to growth will be smoother than it is now. Even if these geniuses cannot become super strong in the end, they can still become the backbone of their universe.

Luo Yuan had more ideas than these geniuses because he truly cared about the special rules of this universe. If he could master them, he would likely become an even more powerful ruler. In this case, Luo Yuan definitely needed to experience this place thoroughly and completely control the origin of the universe's rules so that he could execute his plans.

Originally, Luo Yuan had his eye on that independent universe that had already been taken over, but he also knew that obtaining the position of ruler would not be easy. However, things were different now. The universe he was in was cruel, and even the fundamental laws had been destroyed.

Therefore, it has lost its value to those super strong individuals who possess the complete original world, so there are naturally not many competitors. They certainly won't spend time mastering the original laws of this world. Therefore, Luo Yuan can take this opportunity to properly comprehend the rules of this world and ultimately achieve a complete transformation. Then he can find a way to restore the original laws and eventually become an even more powerful super strong individual.

Chapter 819 Quotas

Luo Yuan took his hard-earned income directly to the place where martial artists buy equipment. However, after looking at the prices of the equipment, he realized that his earnings were nothing in the eyes of those powerful martial artists.

Because the price of any equipment here is very high, Luo Yuan's earnings can only buy the most basic equipment. However, this is enough for Luo Yuan. It is safer than him going to the wilderness to hunt monsters without any preparation.

Therefore, Luo Yuan didn't make too many choices here. He directly bought himself a set of the most basic martial arts equipment, which included a combat uniform, a standard longsword, and a shield. Luo Yuan believed that even if he took this equipment to the wilderness, no other martial artists would try to steal his belongings.

Because such a thing doesn't actually have that much effect, but given Luo Yuan's strong strength, using such equipment can still be quite useful. Moreover, during his cultivation process, Luo Yuan also reactivated his mental power.

Even though all his initial methods were sealed, he rebuilt these powers from scratch without violating the rules. Moreover, Luo Yuan's spiritual power had already reached a very high level, and now, once activated, he directly possessed a powerful combat strength comparable to a planetary-level martial artist. This was also an important trump card that allowed him to venture into the wilderness alone for training.

Moreover, spiritual power is a very precious thing in this world. Many martial artists do not have such talent. Logically speaking, martial artists with spiritual power should be the focus of attention of many forces, and they will try to recruit them, especially people like Luo Yuan who have powerful strength directly after activation.

However, Luo Yuan did not reveal his abilities during the previous martial arts assessment because he did not want to show all his skills to those people. Luo Yuan knew very well that if he wanted to obtain treasures, he would have to pay a price. Therefore, it was the most cost-effective and practical thing to do to obtain them on his own.

On this planet, besides humans, there are extremely powerful demonic beasts, and the two exist in different regions, clearly separated. The history of the planet Luo Yuan is currently on is very similar to that of Earth, where Luo Yuan was before, except that there weren't so many powerful demonic beasts here originally.

Moreover, their technological level was not very high. It was mainly because they suddenly encountered some kind of change that caused a tremendous change in the ordinary beasts on this earth, making them seem to have suddenly gained great power and thus achieved evolution.

When these wild beasts grew powerful, they were called demonic beasts. These demonic beasts also possessed very high intelligence, and they would compete with humans for living space. However, the fighting power of humans at that time was very weak compared to these demonic beasts.

This directly led to a decrease in the world's population base, because they were unable to resist the attacks of these monsters. At the moment of crisis, warriors from other planets suddenly arrived on this planet. These warriors originally intended to directly occupy this planet, which had no powerful warriors to protect it.

However, they underestimated the strength of these monsters and were eventually wiped out by them. Of course, the outsiders also helped the native life on this planet eliminate some very powerful monsters, which relieved the pressure on them. The technological items left behind by these outsiders, including knowledge about martial arts cultivation, were obtained by the native life on this planet.

With the advancement of their knowledge and technology, and the power of science, they also acquired cultivation methods. Of course, the cultivation methods acquired by these native life forms could only reach the stellar level at most. If they wanted to obtain higher-level resources and cultivation methods, they had to leave this planet and go to the vast universe.

Of course, only the most powerful stellar-level martial artists on this planet have the opportunity to leave, so they have access to most of the information. With the identity Luo Yuan is currently in, he is not yet qualified to access such advanced knowledge and information. However, he believes that as his strength increases, he will eventually become the most powerful being on this planet.

Then, it will be very easy for Luo Yuan to acquire any kind of knowledge and resources, which will also help him to quickly improve his cultivation level. Although Luo Yuan currently has no resources or cultivation methods, his growth rate will be much faster than these native life forms.

This is because he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge. Even without using his original power, he can quickly create his own miracles in this world. Moreover, with Luo Yuan's knowledge base, he can combine the power of the world's rules to create a cultivation method that is perfectly suited to him, making him even more powerful than all the native martial artists on this planet.

This is why Luo Yuan doesn't actually value other martial artists in this world very much, even though he knows that if he takes some measures, such as showing off his spiritual talent, he can still join those powerful martial artist teams.

However, Luo Yuan eventually gave up on this plan because he knew that he would grow very quickly. Even if he joined a martial arts team, those people would not be able to keep up with his growth rate. Moreover, he was very free to move around in the wilderness and could leave immediately if he encountered danger.

If he joined a small team, those people might not be able to provide any help to Luo Yuan and might even hinder his progress. Therefore, Luo Yuan ultimately decided to be a lone wolf, because only in this way could he maximize his advantages. He decided to cultivate diligently in the wilderness, obtaining a large amount of cultivation resources while constantly honing his skills and abilities.

This allows him to transform his original abilities into means that can be used in this world. Of course, Luo Yuan can also accelerate his control and integration with the power of the world's rules. Therefore, it is very good for him to cultivate in the wilderness area, because it can only accelerate the transformation and cultivation process.

As for the other geniuses who came to participate in this assessment, they would not spend a lot of time comprehending the fundamental laws of such a destroyed universe, because it would be of no use to them at all. So at most, they would only comprehend it slightly and then use some of the methods they had mastered.

Even if they can't unleash their full potential, they can still gain corresponding strength boosts based on the world's conditions, saving them time in improving their power. However, as you know, this method ultimately won't make them the strongest in the world.

Because they are merely using their own cultivation methods as the main body, and then borrowing the power of various rules in this world to fight. But Luo Yuan is different. He has completely put aside all the abilities he previously possessed and then wholeheartedly comprehended the various rules and powers in this universe, and even the most important fundamental laws.

This way, Luo Yuan's strength improvement speed will be faster, and the power of his techniques will be much stronger than those of other martial artists. In fact, Luo Yuan has no confidence at the moment that he can restore the original laws in this world and thus finally obtain the spot to become a super strong person, but he feels that he can give it a try. If he can succeed, then Luo Yuan's gains will be very great.

Luo Yuan had this plan because among the various inheritances he had received were methods for replenishing the fundamental laws of the universe, but the requirements were very high, and Luo Yuan could not do it at present. However, he believed that after his strength and status improved, he would still have a certain chance of doing it. Then, he could obtain such an independent universe that was completely uncontrolled by any sovereign powerhouse at the lowest cost.

Of course, Luo Yuan also knew that for an independent universe whose original laws had been destroyed, it was actually worthless to some extent. Even the dominant powerhouses of other universes would find it difficult to fully restore it, and doing so would also waste a lot of time and resources.

Of course, there is an even more important reason: once they become the ruler of an independent universe, they cannot switch back, and it is even more impossible for them to give up their original status and power to become the ruler of another universe, because doing so would render all the methods they originally cultivated ineffective.

Therefore, before choosing which universe to become the ruler of, one must be fully prepared. Once a position is chosen, even if a better universe is encountered, there is no chance to back out. So Luo Yuan is not worried that the super strong people in his original universe will compete with him for the position of universe ruler.

Even if such a spot were given to those super strong individuals, it wouldn't be of much use to them. However, he needs to pay attention to those geniuses who are his main competitors. They are extremely eager for such a spot, and even if these geniuses obtain a spot for the time being, they cannot use it.

They can't even convert it into their own real power, but if they cultivate for a long enough time, especially with the support of those super strong people behind them, they will eventually reach the corresponding level. So it is very difficult to compete for the spots of those super strong people who have complete original universes, such as the universe that Luo Yuan originally came from, which was controlled and became a secret world.

Luo Yuan initially didn't understand why these super geniuses, who were inheritors of the universe's control, would be sent to such a secret world for training. Now that he thought about it, it was very likely that those super strong individuals wanted to use the performance of these inheritors to create a so-called final battle ranking, so that they could be given the final spot.

In other words, the spots for the strongest in that universe have already been reserved by the super-strong individuals in their own universe. How could they possibly give up such an opportunity? Therefore, for an independent universe, the most valuable thing is not the native strong individuals within it, nor the various resources that can be sustainably developed.

Rather, it was the fundamental laws within that realm that could help them improve their strength and realm. Luo Yuan had originally planned to cultivate in that secret world and, by fusing various laws, have the opportunity to become a super strong person. Now it seems that he had thought too simply.

What he could think of, how could those super strong individuals not think of? And although those spots were of little use to the super strong individuals, they were still very effective in cultivating the successors they valued. However, those super strong individuals also understood that the spots were extremely scarce.

In this situation, they cannot simply appoint their successors to inherit these positions based on their own strength. Therefore, they can only gather all these successors together to participate in this large-scale assessment, and then grant them corresponding positions based on their performance and achievements.

If Luo Yuan hadn't discovered a universe with even more powerful fundamental rules, he would have tried every means to compete for those few spots, just like other geniuses. However, Luo Yuan no longer values ​​those things because he feels that the universe is indeed very incomplete now.

Moreover, a universe whose origin is also damaged may seem to have no value, but its actual function is more powerful than any other universe. If Luo Yuan can truly master this independent universe, then once he becomes the ruler, he will definitely be much stronger than the super strong people in his own universe.

In this way, Luo Yuan will also have a higher starting point. Once he breaks through his realm and reaches a higher-dimensional universe, he will have more resources to compete for various resources. No matter where he is, there will be a very obvious difference, which is that he may be an outstanding existence in his environment.

However, once you leave such an environment and come to a wider world, you will find that your original level and strength were not that strong, perhaps the worst. But if you can build a strong foundation from the very beginning, you can accumulate more resources for yourself.

So if he can improve his strength in a short period of time, he can quickly establish himself and adapt to the current environment. This is an important reason why he has been able to grow to where he is now and continue to make progress. In Luo Yuan's view, no matter how dangerous the environment is, or how many strong people are in it, and the gap between his strength and theirs is still very large.

However, as long as his talent and foundation are no less than those of these geniuses, or even stronger, then Luo Yuan can achieve rapid growth in a very short time and even receive special training from those strong individuals. His powerful foundation and talent potential may be transformed into power in a short period of time.

However, gaining the favor of those super strong individuals can elevate one's status, thereby acquiring abundant resources and time for growth. This is because those super strong individuals also highly value recruiting outstanding individuals as their disciples.

Only in this way can the strength of the forces he belongs to become stronger and stronger. This principle applies everywhere. Since Luo Yuan cannot obtain a large amount of resources in a short period of time, he can attract those super strong people to recruit him by using his powerful talent. As long as he can do this, his growth will be smoother.

Chapter 820 Reap the Benefits

Soon, Luo Yuan arrived at the edge of the city on a special train for martial artists. This was also the entrance to the wilderness area. In order to protect the safety of the people, the administrators of this planet set up protective bases on the edge of each city, where legions composed of a large number of martial artists were stationed to guard against attacks from monsters.

When Luo Yuan arrived here, he found that there were many martial artists gathered here, but everyone was generally relaxed because this was still a safe zone. There were also many commercial areas where martial artists could buy anything they needed, but the prices were quite expensive. They would also buy monster materials from the wilderness, which were essential for crafting various equipment.

Luo Yuan discovered that the martial artists here are divided into four types. The first type is the martial artist legion formed by the planet's controller. Their purpose is naturally to protect the safety of the base city and maintain order. These martial artists are all quite strong and also strictly abide by the rules. They have guaranteed fixed positions, which are the dream of many martial artists without a background.

The second type consists of warriors belonging to powerful forces or families on this planet. These warriors are more free than those in the legions and can obtain a lot of resources. However, they must obey the arrangements and commands of the forces behind them at any time and also contribute some resources to the forces behind them regularly. In fact, there are quite a few rules to follow, but overall they are free.

The third type is small forces or teams of martial artists without a background. These martial artists are basically in groups and will go to the wilderness to hunt monsters together. The distribution is determined by the contribution of each person. However, these martial artists will not easily accept unfamiliar martial artists to join. They will only join after a long period of observation and testing.

The fourth type is lone wolves like Luo Yuan who have no background. Generally, to become a lone wolf, one must either be very strong and able to survive in the wilderness and obtain monster materials without relying on the help of other martial artists. Although it is very dangerous, all the benefits go directly to one person.

However, some of the lone warriors are those whose strength is average and who are not valued by any faction or warrior team. Although they have obtained the identity of a warrior, they are practically penniless and have the worst equipment. However, they want to try their luck in the wilderness, so they come to take risks, but they are more likely to perish.

To distinguish whether a lone traveler is a strong individual or just an average one, one can observe their equipment. Strong lone travelers generally earn a high income in the wilderness and can naturally equip themselves with excellent items. However, these warriors are often very solitary and have extensive experience in fighting in the wilderness.

Luo Yuan can be described as a completely special existence. He possesses more powerful skills and combat experience than any lone traveler. However, because he didn't have much savings at the beginning, he could only wear the worst equipment. When he arrived at the base leading to the wilderness area, he was basically not welcomed by other martial artists. In their eyes, he was just going to the wilderness area to die.

Luo Yuan completely ignored the contemptuous attitude of the other martial artists, because he knew what his purpose was in coming here. Naturally, he wouldn't take these people seriously. His purpose in coming here was to grow and, incidentally, to obtain a good ranking. These local martial artists were just background figures to Luo Yuan.

After replenishing some resources at the martial arts base, Luo Yuan left through the exit with the other martial artists. When he finally arrived in the wilderness area, seeing the ruins everywhere, he couldn't help but recall his childhood on Earth. Luo Yuan felt a sense of familiarity and had the illusion of starting over, but he knew very well that this was completely different from his previous upbringing.

After the martial artists came out, they all dispersed and headed towards their chosen destinations. Newcomers like Luo Yuan, who were visiting the wilderness for the first time, seemed a bit lost because they didn't know anything about the wilderness and naturally didn't know where to go. They could only explore on their own, and they didn't even know basic map information, which made them much worse off than the martial artist teams.

Luo Yuan is just starting out, so he doesn't know much about anything. But that doesn't matter. Because of his strength, he can train in this wilderness area with peace of mind. Although he doesn't have the complete map, he has obtained some information about the surrounding area when he bought resources at the base.

Therefore, Luo Yuan knew where he should go next. With his current strength, the first thing he needed to do was to acquire a large amount of materials from demonic beasts to exchange for cultivation resources, and then raise his realm to the planetary level. Then, no matter what method Luo Yuan chose, he would have more opportunities.

Because once you reach the planetary level, you will have the ability to fly on this planet, and your safety will be guaranteed. In particular, planetary level martial artists are very strong. In fact, Luo Yuan had the opportunity to raise his cultivation to the planetary level directly in the base city, but he did not choose to do so.

He knew very well that doing so would result in a relatively weak level of attainment and strength, which would create some drawbacks for future advancements. Only by building a stronger foundation could he guarantee future development. Therefore, Luo Yuan decided that acquiring the corresponding resources would be more worthwhile.

Of course, there is another very important reason: Luo Yuan noticed that the rules of this world are completely different, and it contains a very special power. Luo Yuan felt that if he could improve his realm by absorbing a large amount of this special power, then the level of strength he could reach would be much stronger than when he first improved to the planetary level.

However, this special power is a kind of energy that exists within the laws of this universe. Trying to extract it continuously is too slow. Therefore, Luo Yuan decided that it would be more practical to acquire a large amount of resources generated in this world, because you will find any living creature in this world.

Whether it's human martial artists, demonic beasts, or rare medicinal herbs that have grown up, they all contain this special energy. Moreover, the older the medicinal herbs and demonic beasts are, the higher the value of this energy they contain. In that case, he might as well directly obtain a large amount of resources containing this special power.

Then he could build an absolutely powerful foundation in a short time, thereby advancing to the planetary level. Since Luo Yuan already had a plan, he would not hesitate at all. Therefore, his target must be the place where powerful demonic beasts gather. However, few martial artists go to such places easily because the danger factor is too high.

The strength of demonic beasts is far greater than that of martial artists of the same level. Therefore, once they form a collective, it is very difficult to eliminate them all. Even martial artists with a higher level than those demonic beasts do not dare to easily fight against a large number of demonic beasts.

However, Luo Yuan didn't have too many concerns, because he was very clear about his current combat power. He could be said to be almost invincible below the planetary level, precisely because Luo Yuan's combat experience and various methods were far superior to most martial artists.

Furthermore, now that Luo Yuan has activated his spiritual power, it will be easier for him to leave this place. He can even fight from a distance. Also, Luo Yuan doesn't think he can eliminate the large number of monsters gathered here by himself. He needs to use some strategies, although strategies are useless in the face of absolute strength.

However, when everyone's strength is roughly the same, it is still very necessary to take some roundabout measures. Soon, Luo Yuan arrived at a very large ruin. According to Luo Yuan's understanding, this place used to be a stadium for training, so it covers a very wide area. However, a large group of very powerful monsters gathered here.

They look somewhat similar to demon wolves, but their attack power is much stronger. Luo Yuan learned through his practical exploration ability that there are already over a thousand demon beasts gathered here. Although the strongest of these demon wolves is only at the eighth level of Martial Apprentice.

However, during his observation, Luo Yuan discovered that these demonic beasts had a very strict hierarchical system among themselves, and they formed a very united whole. It could be said that if they discovered an enemy, they would immediately form a powerful fighting force and attack at the same time. Under such circumstances, even planetary-level martial artists would not easily make a move if they encountered them.

Therefore, although Luo Yuan might be able to win against these demon wolves if he were to fight them, it would consume a lot of energy. This would put him at a significant disadvantage if he were to venture to other places. Under these circumstances, Luo Yuan would not do so.

Moreover, Luo Yuan had observed that a large group of demonic beasts had gathered not far from these demonic beasts. They looked very similar to the snake-like demonic beasts on Earth. Luo Yuan thought that if he could create some conflict between the demonic beasts in these two different regions and make them fight each other, then Luo Yuan could reap the benefits.

Although these demonic beasts possess considerable intelligence, they are still far inferior to humans. Only demonic beasts that reach the planetary level or above possess intelligence comparable to humans. Therefore, if Luo Yuan adopts such methods, even if these demonic beasts have some suspicions, they will not think too much about it.

Because once their territory is attacked by other monsters, they will definitely fight each other, for no other reason. The reason for this situation is that monsters have a very strong sense of ownership over their territory and they do not want it to be occupied by other monsters.

So, for whatever reason, once other demonic beasts enter their territory, it is a challenge to their status, which may immediately trigger a battle between the two different groups of demonic beasts. However, under normal circumstances, different demonic beasts will operate within their own territories and will not easily go into the territories of other demonic beasts, because they know very well that this is a very dangerous behavior.

Furthermore, the leaders who manage those demon beasts will not allow their subordinates to enter other territories, as this would trigger a struggle between the lords of the two territories. It would be quite difficult for other warriors to incite conflict between two different groups of demon beasts, because they cannot force the demon beasts of another group to enter the territory of an enemy force.

However, it is a very easy thing for those martial artists with strong mental power, because as long as they can master some control methods, they can easily complete it. Luo Yuan has a lot of methods, and after his transformation over this period of time.

Soon he was able to create various means suitable for the rules of this world, including methods for creating environments and controlling mental power. So Luo Yuan immediately found the territory where those serpentine monsters were located. Luo Yuan found a serpentine monster that didn't seem very powerful, but was stronger than ordinary monsters.

Then Luo Yuan used his mental power to control the demon beast to go to the territory where the demon wolves were located, and took the initiative to attack and fight with those wolves. The whole process was very secretive, and Luo Yuan did it all by himself, so he did not attract the attention of those snake-like demon beasts.

However, Luo Yuan's actions were seen as a provocation by the demon wolves, which angered them greatly. Normally, there were few conflicts between the demon beasts from these two different territories. Since they had no conflicts of interest, they were usually able to coexist peacefully.

However, Luo Yuan's actions completely disrupted their original balance, resulting in all the demon wolves gathering together to teach the other group, the serpentine demon beasts, a lesson. When Luo Yuan saw a large number of demon wolves attacking the serpentine demon beasts, he smiled, knowing that his plan had succeeded.

As long as the monsters from these two different regions fight each other and eventually both are severely injured, then he can control all the materials from these monsters. At that time, Luo Yuan will obtain a large amount of monster materials without lifting a finger.

Then he could earn a lot of income from his initial cultivation, and it would be easier for him to improve his realm later. When all the demon pouches gathered together and launched a very fierce attack on the snake-shaped demon beasts, the snake-shaped demon beasts were very surprised.
