I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Many powerful beings in the universe choose corresponding secret techniques to inherit based on their own advantages during their cultivation process. Although they all know that the best way to become stronger is to build up their strength in all aspects, the problem is that it is very difficult to achieve this.

Because this not only requires strong talent, but also a lot of time to improve various abilities, it is better to cultivate the most suitable secret technique based on one's greatest strength, so that the strength can be improved to the extreme.

Whether it's defense or attack speed, as long as it can be improved to the extreme, then it can ultimately achieve a combination of offense and defense. Therefore, Luo Yuan also noticed that the ten geniuses selected had all reached a very high level in different fields.

Therefore, they will definitely show their corresponding advantages in the process of fighting. However, this is not too difficult for Luo Yuan, because he has already improved all kinds of advantages to a very high level in the process of cultivation.

Luo Yuan is different from these geniuses because he has already cultivated for a long time. It can be said that his cultivation time is much longer than that of these geniuses. Therefore, he has enough time to improve all his abilities.

These geniuses have actually grown in a very short time. It is quite remarkable that they have reached their current level and strength in such a short period of time. This is not only because they are talented, but also because the dimension of the universe they live in is not very high.

Therefore, the growth environment they have must be more superior than that of geniuses in other universes. Of course, this is only limited to those below the level of the Creator God. Moreover, according to the rules of the challenge, these people cannot attack Luo Yuan at the same time; they can only fight one-on-one.

If they were to join forces against Luo Yuan, it would be somewhat difficult for Luo Yuan to defeat them all under the current conditions. This is because they each possess powerful abilities, and their combined fighting strength would be quite formidable.

Luo Yuan's strength is currently mostly sealed, so he cannot truly unleash his full combat power. However, if they fight him one-on-one, these people will have no advantage. Luo Yuan also hopes to demonstrate his value through this battle and find a breakthrough point from these powerful individuals.

In fact, Luo Yuan's current strength has reached its limit and cannot be improved further, at least in the universe where he originally emerged, because there is no genius more outstanding than Luo Yuan, and there are no corresponding competitors.

So Luo Yuan didn't know what to do, or which path to take next. He could gain some inspiration by fighting these powerful individuals. Since these people had different focuses in their cultivation, Luo Yuan could think from different angles and improve his overall abilities.

The first genius to fight Luo Yuan was known for his speed, meaning he had cultivated a very powerful speed-related secret technique. Luo Yuan never underestimated a powerful secret technique that had survived to this day in a higher dimension; at the very least, the level they possessed was definitely stronger than any secret technique in his original universe.

However, due to the fundamental rules of the universe, they are unable to unleash such secret abilities to their fullest potential, or even break through to the next level. They can only rely on continuous battles and their own powerful talents to eventually reach the pinnacle they can achieve.

However, if Luo Yuan could learn these powerful secret techniques, summarize them, and eventually create corresponding secret techniques that could be cultivated in his own universe, then Luo Yuan believed that his combat power would definitely be able to reach a new level.

That's why Luo Yuan was willing to join these powerful forces, not only to make things easier for himself and to acquire more resources and status, but also to obtain the secret techniques within these advanced inheritances. However, Luo Yuan could first fight these powerful individuals and observe them.

After all, these people have been here for so long, they must have cultivated corresponding secret techniques. Luo Yuan can observe these secret techniques to know their strengths and weaknesses, and even find out their original shortcomings. Finally, he can master them and learn them. Although Luo Yuan came to this force...

With his talent and status, he could certainly acquire powerful secret techniques, but he also knew that he couldn't possibly acquire all the secret techniques in this faction at once. After all, to obtain such things, one not only needs to have the corresponding status and contribution, but also needs to have the greatest loyalty to this faction.

If all these secret techniques were given to Luo Yuan to cultivate from the beginning, the high-ranking figures in these forces would not be so at ease. Therefore, it is already quite good that Luo Yuan has the strength to obtain one or two powerful inherited secret techniques. He can observe these geniuses and thus master ten powerful inherited secret techniques at once.

Of course, he wouldn't show it directly because he didn't want to attract the special attention of the people present, which would make those higher-ups suspicious and wary of him. Because in this universe, native geniuses, no matter how outstanding they are, are all exceptional.

It's impossible for anyone to learn and master the advanced inherited secret techniques of their opponent in such a short time simply through observation and combat, let alone create even more powerful secret techniques and divine abilities on that basis, because someone with such abilities is definitely not just an immortal-level powerhouse.

If it's true that observing and mastering such methods is due to exceptionally extraordinary talent in cultivation and comprehension, then that makes sense. The problem is that these so-called geniuses undergo rigorous evaluation before arriving here, so they are well aware of the talents and abilities these individuals possess.

At least for these geniuses now, it is very difficult to reach the corresponding level in a short period of time, let alone create a brand new secret technique, because it requires not only the corresponding talent, but also a lot of experience, and even the analysis of various powerful inherited secret techniques.

And ultimately, they will be able to form their own unique control and creation patterns. Only a powerhouse at the level of a creator god or above can achieve this. Therefore, even if Luo Yuan can truly master all the useless abilities of these powerhouses, he cannot immediately test them here.

He can only cultivate and master the techniques on his own when he has time. In this way, he can improve his strength as soon as possible. Then, after obtaining the corresponding secret techniques, he can attract the attention of the higher-ups by mastering them for a short period of time, which will further confirm that he is a super genius. In the end, he will be given more resources to cultivate him.

Most importantly, Luo Yuan can gain more status, so he can know what he lacks. After all, the powerful secret techniques in this universe are definitely controlled by powerful figures, namely the high-level figures in these powerful forces.

They couldn't possibly spread all this information, nor could they let many powerful individuals learn it. Only those juniors who met their approval and recognition could learn it. Although Luo Yuan possessed much greater strength than these geniuses, he had no intention of underestimating them.

Instead, he fought them very seriously, hoping to truly improve himself in the process. The first genius in the fight was incredibly fast. Despite being only at the Immortal level, he possessed an ability comparable to teleportation, which greatly surprised Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan knew very well that the ability to teleport was basically only available to those who had reached the level of King Immortal or above, and especially to those who had mastered the fundamental laws of space and were at the Venerable level, who could truly unleash its full power.

However, this genius did not reach such a level, nor did he have the corresponding energy reserves, yet he was able to unleash such a technique, which shows that he had reached the highest limit he could achieve in terms of cultivation speed.

This also shows that this genius's talent in speed is indeed much stronger than others. Of course, Luo Yuan also has the ability to teleport, but he does not intend to use it, since he cannot explain the source of his ability.

Given his status and upbringing, it would be impossible for Luo Yuan to master such a technique in such a short time. After all, Luo Yuan had not joined any powerful force before, nor had any strong mentors taught him how to cultivate. Therefore, it would be impossible for Luo Yuan to master such power.

Moreover, given Luo Yuan's combat experience, the power he would possess if he used teleportation would far surpass that of these powerful beings. Although Luo Yuan knew that the fundamental will of this universe must already know that he came from outside, he did not want these powerful beings in this universe to know as well.

After all, the powerful beings in this universe are very hostile to the powerful beings outside. Once they know Luo Yuan's identity, they will definitely take some actions that are detrimental to Luo Yuan, which is something Luo Yuan does not want to see. Therefore, he must hide himself.

The Original Will doesn't have time to deal with Luo Yuan right now because Luo Yuan hasn't met its requirements for control. Therefore, any conflicts that might arise between Luo Yuan and these powerful beings in this universe are not within the Original Will's consideration.

If he couldn't even pass such a test, then it meant there was no need to train him at all. So Luo Yuan could only fight this genius at the fastest speed he could. However, continuing to fight like this would be very disadvantageous for him.

After all, once the speed reaches its limit, it becomes difficult to track the opponent's movements, and thus impossible to eliminate them. All the strong know that no matter how powerful their attack is, it is meaningless if they cannot hit the opponent.

This is the advantage that comes with extreme speed. No matter how strong the opponent is, they cannot truly get close. Instead, they will continuously lose energy and eventually lose the power to resist, unless they have extremely strong defenses.

So no matter how fast the opponent is, he can still withstand the attack. Luo Yuan knew this advantage, so he simply stood still and stopped trying to outrun the genius. After Luo Yuan took this action, both the genius and the spectators around him were very surprised.

Because they didn't know how Luo Yuan could solve the problem he was facing. Could it be that he felt he couldn't keep up with the speed, so he simply gave up resisting? But if that was the case, then there was no point in fighting, because both the genius who came to challenge Luo Yuan and everyone present hoped to pass.

Such battles enhance their strength and even provide them with information to guide their future cultivation. However, Luo Yuan has not taken any corresponding measures in the face of this situation, and they do not know what he is going to do.

Therefore, many people still have expectations in their hearts, hoping that Luo Yuan can create a new miracle. If it were the strong people present, facing such speed, they would not have any advantage. They would only be able to passively defend, or look for opportunities to attack or eliminate the opponent.

However, this is quite difficult. These people do not know that when facing a very fast and powerful opponent, the best approach is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations. The genius who was still teleporting did not care what Luo Yuan's intentions were and immediately launched an attack on the flaw that Luo Yuan had deliberately revealed.

This genius also knew that although he was very fast, his attack power was not very strong. So the best way was to enhance his attack power with the help of extremely fast speed and be able to launch a fatal blow to the enemy. However, his cultivation talent and combat experience were definitely not as strong as Luo Yuan's.

Luo Yuan instantly realized the attack method his opponent was about to use, so when this genius suddenly appeared behind him, Luo Yuan simply made a simple movement and easily dodged the attack.

From the perspective of other observers, Luo Yuan seemed to have simply made a movement without any deliberate intent, as if it were done casually. However, they knew that this was definitely not the case, given how skillfully he had neutralized the opponent's attack.

The fact that he couldn't even land an attack on himself is definitely not a coincidence. It's more likely that Luo Yuan predicted in advance which direction this genius would attack and made preparations accordingly. This requires not only strong combat talent.

One must also possess a very unique perspective, be able to make a clear judgment on many combat abilities, in order to find the most accurate time to strike. Moreover, he found it very strange that no matter how this genius attacked, he could not actually touch Luo Yuan, because he had changed all his previous fighting methods.

He even forgot how he attacked, but even so, he still couldn't hurt Luo Yuan. If Luo Yuan was using his strong defense to resist the genius's attack, that would be understandable, since having the corresponding advantage would allow him to know how to counter the opponent's abilities.

The problem is that Luo Yuan didn't rely on any advantages; he only relied on his combat talent to know in advance how the opponent would attack. So continuing to fight like this would just be a waste of energy.

Chapter 900. Melee Combat

Chapter 900 Melee

Luo Yuan relied entirely on his rich combat experience to ensure that even if the genius in front of him had great speed, he could not be truly harmed. Moreover, Luo Yuan was able to accurately predict how the genius would make his next move.

So everything is under Luo Yuan's control. No matter how strong the opponent is, they will not be able to cause any real damage to Luo Yuan. They will only keep consuming their own energy. Therefore, anyone with eyes can see that this genius is no match for Luo Yuan.

When these powerful figures were watching Luo Yuan fight against the previous powerful figures, they noticed that Luo Yuan possessed such an ability. Although they did not know how he did it, some powerful figures are born with very keen senses and can judge the opponent's battle trajectory.

They can even predict the next move, so they can always seize the initiative and ultimately win. However, to reach this level, one needs to have extremely rich combat experience and be thoroughly familiar with various combat methods.

It would require surpassing any ability one possesses and reaching a level of consummate skill to achieve this, but such combat ability is definitely not something a newcomer who has only cultivated to the Immortal Realm can control.

Even those powerful figures with high levels of expertise, after countless years of battles, have not been able to possess this kind of power, let alone these young geniuses.

These people didn't know Luo Yuan's background, so they thought Luo Yuan was the same as them. Therefore, when they thought about problems, they would compare themselves with their own level and realm, and thus felt that Luo Yuan was far superior to them.

Therefore, after the first genius had exhausted a lot of energy and tried various methods but could not damage Luo Yuan, he knew that continuing to fight would be pointless and would only make the onlookers feel very strange.

After all, knowing that he had no chance of winning and continuing like this would only make others look down on him, the first genius simply admitted defeat. He knew that there was no need to continue fighting, but he also observed that Luo Yuan did not use any abilities when he dodged his attacks.

He can accurately dodge any attack simply by predicting it, and Luo Yuan's reaction speed is also very fast. Otherwise, even if Luo Yuan could predict his movements, he would not be able to dodge accurately, especially since Luo Yuan has mastered his own abilities to the most perfect state.

That's why he can complete any action so easily. For strong people with speed advantages, they can't really unleash their strength in front of Luo Yuan. However, this doesn't mean that Luo Yuan is truly invincible, because if he encounters someone with extremely powerful attack methods...

Then they can launch a full-coverage attack. No matter how Luo Yuan dodges, he will not be able to dodge all the attacks. Luo Yuan will then have to take action and fight. At that time, Luo Yuan's advantage will no longer exist.

We can observe Luo Yuan's true combat strength through battle. After all, Luo Yuan has not actually fought this genius head-on so far. If this genius can see Luo Yuan's strengths and weaknesses, then the other geniuses must be able to as well.

Luo Yuan did not specify the order in which he would challenge these geniuses, so they could discuss who would fight him first. They ultimately decided to select the genius among them with the most powerful attack methods to fight Luo Yuan, and also wanted to test his strength in this way.

In order to achieve such a goal, these geniuses must have to pay a certain price. Otherwise, wouldn't the genius who agreed to fight be at a great loss? After all, everyone knows that only by understanding all of the opponent's methods before making a move will the chance of victory be higher.

Therefore, when they finally make their decisions, they will definitely need the consent of that genius with powerful offensive capabilities before they will have a real chance to test Luo Yuan's full strength. Luo Yuan has no interest in the plans between these geniuses.

For him, no one could ultimately pose any threat to him. Only by defeating all those who challenged him could he truly establish himself within this power and gain more advantages and status.

At the same time, Luo Yuan can also apply for the secret techniques he needs, and he will not be rejected. On the contrary, he will be very respected. This is because when a person's reputation is raised, no matter what he does, others will not find it strange, and they will even think that it is a matter of course.

Even if Luo Yuan's cultivation level improves rapidly in the future, it will not arouse their suspicion. Because for a genius, anything is possible. After all, a genius cannot be measured by common sense. In fact, in just a short period of time, a seemingly very powerful genius has emerged from among these geniuses.

Moreover, one could sense an incredibly strong fighting spirit emanating from him, clearly indicating that he was a person with extremely powerful attack methods. What was most interesting was that Luo Yuan noticed that this genius's fighting style was not based on ranged attacks, but rather on close-quarters combat.

These two combat modes are definitely different, because ranged attacks require a lot of energy. Whether it's using various powerful secret techniques or controlling equipment with mental power, it all consumes a certain amount of energy, and the longer the battle lasts, the more energy is consumed.

Once energy is depleted, one will eventually lose all advantages. However, close combat is different because this combat mode relies solely on one's own physical attributes, and especially during the combat process, one can unleash any techniques one has learned.

For those with weaker physical abilities, the advantage will not be so obvious, and they may even be at a disadvantage. In fact, many geniuses in the universe focus their cultivation on the use of energy, and rarely concentrate all their strength on physical abilities.

This is because it requires improving one's bloodline or genetic level, and everyone knows that improving one's bloodline and genetic level is extremely difficult, as these things are often innate and predetermined, and cannot be changed unless one obtains powerful cultivation resources.

Or perhaps it's some secret technique that can enhance one's abilities in this area, but neither of these things are things that ordinary geniuses can possess. Therefore, the genius who has appeared now is able to possess such powerful strength, probably because he himself has a good high-level bloodline.

So as long as one can continuously develop the power within their bloodline, they can improve their physical attributes. Luo Yuan didn't really care about these things, because he had already cultivated for so many years and had already raised all his abilities to a very high level.

Whether it's ranged attacks or close combat, Luo Yuan has no weaknesses, so he doesn't need to worry about the opponent posing any threat to him. Luo Yuan will now begin fighting this powerful opponent, but he is unwilling to use all his trump cards.

Otherwise, it might attract the attention or even suspicion of those high-level figures. After all, Luo Yuan's performance cannot exceed his current level too much, otherwise it would seem very strange. If Luo Yuan's various methods are much stronger than those of these geniuses, but do not exceed the upper limit of his current level, then it would be very strange.

That's normal and understandable. But if someone surpasses their current level and even reaches the level of a universe master, then it's completely difficult to explain with their talent. Luo Yuan doesn't know how the powerful beings in this universe view geniuses from the outside world.

However, he also understood that these people were definitely not well-intentioned, because to them, the geniuses from the outside world were people who came to compete for their treasures and would not bring them any benefit. Once they gained something, they would leave and would eventually be unable to grow or stay in this universe.

Therefore, native geniuses living in the universe are very hostile to geniuses from outside the universe. In fact, the original will does not interfere with the development of geniuses from outside the universe, nor could it possibly have the means to protect them.

On the contrary, it will cause local geniuses to constantly fight with geniuses from outside, grow together, and eventually produce more powerful beings. As long as these geniuses from outside do not exceed the control of the original will, then whatever they do in this universe does is not really necessary to restrain them. Instead, it will promote the development of the entire universe.

After all, the universe is now experiencing a significant loss of its original essence. Luo Yuan doesn't know at what level his cultivation will truly attract the attention of the original will. He guesses that once he reaches the God-King level, he might be able to truly come into contact with the original will, and might even be controlled by it.

Therefore, Luo Yuan must collect a large amount of primordial power before becoming a God-King level powerhouse. In any case, he must have the strength to fight against the primordial will, since the primordial will of this world actually does not have that much primordial power left.

This is because, in order to promote the development of the strong in the entire universe, the primordial will chose a method that was very disadvantageous to it: to directly release the primordial power it possessed so that other strong beings could devour and digest it. This means that the primordial power controlled by the primordial will will only become less and less.

However, if they do not do this, there is no hope of completing the rise and restoration of the entire universe. Therefore, for a primordial will with independent will and emotions, it is better to try to take a gamble and give itself a chance to change the current situation.

Even if he ultimately fails, he will have no regrets, since the outcome will be the same if he doesn't do it this way. However, the Origin Will also knows that if these local geniuses and external powerhouses control a large amount of Origin Power, it will eventually pose a great threat to him, even if he can eventually restore the Origin of the Universe.

It's still unclear who is in control of the entire universe, but the primordial will knows that if it doesn't have a means to restrain these powerful beings who have obtained primordial power, it will only end up benefiting others. That's why special substances have appeared, and these substances are something that the native powerful beings cannot eliminate.

Even powerful beings from the outside world would find it difficult to do, because this is something created using the fundamental laws of the entire universe. If one wants to completely eliminate this special substance, or even control it, then one must master the fundamental laws of the universe to the most perfect and ultimate state, only then will one have the opportunity to resist the manipulation of the fundamental will.

During his battles with these geniuses, Luo Yuan could sense that they had all absorbed some of the original power, as well as a large amount of special substances. However, they had likely suppressed it through some means.

However, if too much energy is consumed in battle, or if the body is in a weakened state, the suppressed special substance will immediately appear, which will affect their salary. Therefore, these strong individuals will deliberately conserve some strength in battle to suppress the backlash of the special substance against them.

Moreover, Luo Yuan is only suitable for these geniuses to challenge, not for a life-or-death battle. If these geniuses were to unleash all the original power they have fused regardless of the consequences, it might pose a threat to Luo Yuan.

However, Luo Yuan felt that these people didn't need to do that. After all, everyone's purpose in cultivating here was to improve their strength. It would be very unwise to put themselves in a life-or-death crisis just because they had strong hostility towards a certain genius.

Since no one is more important than their own life, these geniuses knew very well what the smartest choice was before making their decision. Next, Luo Yuan would fight this genius with powerful close combat abilities.

All the powerful figures watching the battle were filled with anticipation. Some who had been in seclusion for a long time even came out to watch. They wanted to see just how far this newcomer had gone. Then they discovered that Luo Yuan's fighting style was not much different from before.

No matter what the powerful genius in front of him did, Luo Yuan easily dodged it. This scene was exactly the same as when the first genius fought. The powerful genius also noticed that the fight should continue.

His final result was no different from that of the first genius, so he simply unleashed all his combat power. Soon, the figure of this genius appeared on the entire arena, and at the same time, countless attacks fell, completely sealing off the space where Luo Yuan could move.
