Central Island.

First, Rong Jun's imposing figure appeared, followed by Ai Chen, Luo Feng, Long Yun, Uka, Qian Shui, and others.

"Mr. Bafen," Uka called out, "Lin Yan ...has he passed the sixth level?"

A group of young people from various human Universe Country stared intently at the Guardian Bafen, holding their breath as they awaited Bafen answer.

"Yes, it's a pity they failed on the seventh floor," the Guardian Bafen said with a smile.

The group of people were trembling with fear as they listened.

Failed on the seventh floor?

Pity?

Are these really the same people who were selected from the Genius Battle alongside them? Why is this world so incomprehensible?

Heaven have mercy.

They are still far from passing through the first level!

This isn't a gap, it's an insurmountable chasm.

"I thought it was already outrageous that he could reach the top level in all aspects as Controller, a martial artist, and an illusionist. But at that time, I thought that the outcome of the Genius Battle was only temporary. In the Initial Universe, he might have a chance to catch up."

"When I arrived in Chaos City, I realized just how vast the differences between people could be!"

"Even Bolan has been left far behind by him."

Among these many geniuses, many felt helpless. They were also Super genius in the universe, but when they encountered someone like Lin Yan, they didn't even have the courage to catch up.

They're not stupid.

Even if I have some brilliance, how can I compare to someone like that?

"Every now and then, he appears in an even more powerful and invincible form. I used to think I could catch up, even in a hundred or a thousand years. I have a teacher who is Universe Country Lord, and I have the desire to become a strong person!"

Rong Jun clenched his fists involuntarily. "But... can I really catch up with someone like that?"

Rong Jun felt somewhat disappointed. When someone he had always regarded as a rival and a goal suddenly became unattainable, like the sun in the sky, he could only stand on earth and admire its heat.

The group of people were filled with mixed feelings.

"I heard that if you pass the third level of the Tongtian Bridge, you can listen to lectures by those Grandmaster and have the opportunity to become their apprentice. I wonder which super strong expert will be Lin Yan's teacher?"

"Among our generation, apart from Rong Jun being accepted as a disciple by the Yuan Chen Country Lord, none of the others have taken a master. In my opinion, with Lin Yan's talent, he will probably be favored by a Venerable level being, just like Rong Jun."

"Very likely."

Some of these geniuses remained calm and didn't even consider comparing themselves to Lin Yan. They were not only not discouraged, but also felt proud. Some secretly encouraged themselves to work harder and keep striving. Others were dissatisfied with their current situation and, stimulated by this, their minds were almost twisted by jealousy and resentment.

There are many more examples.

The Guardian Bafen, simply watched.

This world only hears the voices of the strong, and life is never a path that only leads forward.

In the Virtual Universe, on Thunder Island, inside the temple of the Nine Swords Venerable.

"You mean... Lin Yan broke through six levels of the Universe Tongtian Bridge as soon as he entered Chaos City, and he did so by analyzing the Law essence?" The Nine Swords Venerable, dressed in a blue battle robe and with purple scales all over his head, sat high on his throne, suddenly stood up, and looked down at the Longyu King below with a pair of god-like eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes," Longyu King said respectfully.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Lin Yan did indeed pass through six levels in a row, and he fully comprehended all nine Space essence in the first picture. He even comprehended several essences in the Second Diagram. This was only three years after the end of his Genius Battle."

"These are videos of him participating in the Genius Battle and breaking through the Tongtian Bridge. Your Excellency may take a look."

"Since the beginning of countless epochs of the Virtual Universe Company, countless geniuses have emerged. Many of these geniuses were initially very powerful, but they are more likely to fall from grace."

"But no one in the same period has ever been as dazzling as Lin Yan. Once he grows up, won't he become another peerless figure of the Ke Di level?"

Thanks to the reports from the Immortal God and the Guardian Bafen who were present at the time, Lin Yan's name instantly spread to almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company.

Moreover, the Immortal God were deeply shocked and naturally couldn't help but tell their friends about it. Therefore, the story of Lin Yan breaking through six levels of the Universe Tongtian Bridge by following the path of the Law essence as soon as he entered Chaos City spread rapidly.

In those years, a young man, sword not yet properly worn, entered the martial world for the first time.

Yet he was already famous far and wide.

Chaos City.

On the rooftop of a certain Cultivation Residence.

Luo Feng sent a congratulatory email to Lin Yan, only to find that Lin Yan had turned off "Virtual Universe Network Reception" and he would only receive the email when he turned it back on.

Call...

Chaos Qi flow enveloped this ancient city that had existed for hundreds of millions of years. Luo Feng sat on the rooftop, calmly looking up at the sky.

"Luo Feng, are you also envious?" Babata's voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind.

Its voice sounded somewhat wistful.

Over the years, it and Luo Feng have gone through a lot together and developed a deep bond, so it also worries... whether Luo Feng will feel very disappointed.

No one is anyone's supporting character; everyone wants to stand on the clouds.

"Of course I envy him." Luo Feng smiled faintly. "He's only a little older than me, but he's already gone so far ahead of me."

"But--"

"Looking back, 18 years ago, I was just a high school student who hoped to get into a military academy so that my parents could have an easier life. Thinking about it now, I realize... I've come this far."

Luo Feng recounted softly, "Back then, my best friend was Wei Wen, but we rarely saw each other after I became a martial artist. Then, I became Mental Master, obtained the Yun Mo Star Inheritance, and with Lin Yan's help, Soul Seizure the Golden Horn Beast..."

"Even Hong and Thunder God, who were the strongest on Earth back then, whom I admired so much when I was a child, were able to fight side by side in a short period of time. Now, they can't even keep up with us."

Wow!

The black-haired youth in Dark red Battle Armor stood up, gazed into the distance, and said softly, "Hong and Thunder God must have envied me back then, but their wisdom has already given me the answer."

"From the very beginning, meeting a partner like Lin Yan was actually a very lucky thing."

"He always does everything very well and helps us. The earth shines in a completely different light because of him, and everything is moving in a positive direction."

"We are all on the road." Luo Feng smiled, his voice clear and bright. "We are the pioneers of Earth Humanity. We have promised to become super powers in the universe, and we have promised to make our civilization rise in the universe."

"The direction is right in front of us, but envy and disappointment can blind us; the road is under our feet, but jealousy and sadness can bind our legs."

"However, Babata, let's cheer each other on. I don't want to end up like those people I've passed by, where catching up has become a distant concept."

Under the dim light, Luo Feng's eyes were bright, and his expression was resolute.

"Hmm!" Babata, the black-robed child with blood-red pupils, responded heavily in the intelligent space. "Luo Feng, you don't lack talent. You can get a lot of points by crossing the Tongtian Bridge, and you also have my master's legacy, which can be obtained at the Domain Lord level. Actually, we don't lack resources. What we lack is just time to grow!"

"Luo Feng, let's begin our cultivation now!"

At this moment, Lin Yan...

I am walking in the alley of Chaos City.

He knew that his demonstrated abilities would attract a lot of attention, but that was a prerequisite for growth.

This is Chaos City.

The reason they came here is because the human race needs to cultivate geniuses. It is meaningless to talk about hiding one's talents here. If you want to gain something, you must always show your value.

Those people were amazed, praising, and shocked by what he had just done.

Lin Yan himself didn't show much emotional fluctuation, as if he had just completed a very ordinary task.

One must not be arrogant or complacent, but maintain a spirit of enterprise. This sounds simple, but it is not easy. However... for Lin Yan, what he wants is far from being satisfied.

"Master, you have passed through six levels of the Tongtian Bridge in a row. In addition to gaining six opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele, you also have 63,000 points. What items do you plan to buy?" Wind Queen's voice came from his mind.

There are points awarded for crossing the Tongtian Bridge.

The first floor costs 100, the second floor costs 200, the third floor costs 400, and so on, doubling in turn. However, Lin Yan and his group are newcomers to Chaos City, and the Virtual Universe Company has special reward rules for young geniuses.

Anyone who clears the Tongtian Bridge within 30 years in Chaos City will receive ten times the points reward.

So, Lin Yan was able to pass through the six levels of the Tongtian Bridge and obtain so many points. These 60,000 points may seem like a lot, but they are actually not enough.

For example, the "Chaos Principle" corresponding to the Universe Chaos Stele requires him to invest a huge amount of points.

"Let's put it aside for now. I do need to buy 'The Chaos Principle,' but the first three volumes require 100,000 points, which I don't have right now. For the time being, my main focus is on studying the Law essence. There's no need to spend 10,000 points to buy the first two volumes; that would be too wasteful."

"Once we leave Chaos City, without the tenfold reward, it won't be so easy to get points again."

Lin Yan walked through the alley and soon arrived at the main street.

"This is it!" Lin Yan arrived in front of a mansion, thinking to himself, "I wonder what King Tong Nan teacher wants with me?"

A building with an unusual style, where light and darkness seem to be in perfect harmony.

True Yan King and King Tong Nan were sitting together.

"Haha, I, Zhen Yan lucky today, to actually get to drink this 'Five-Colored Stars'." True Yan King held up a crystal wine cup, the wine inside faintly showing stars flowing within it, exceptionally beautiful.

He swallowed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then stroked the downy hair on his lips with a satisfied smile, and exclaimed with wide eyes, "The last time I drank 'Five-Colored Stars' from you was more than 70 million years ago. Tsk tsk, it's rare for you to be so generous."

"It's very expensive!" King Tong Nan, "One sip of yours costs 30,000 Hun Yuan Unit!"

"Haha, don't be stingy, have some more." True Yan King chuckled strangely and reached for the wine bottle.

The jet-black, cylindrical wine bottle was on the table. King Tong Nan did not stop him and allowed True Yan King to take it.

True Yan King took another sip of wine and said, "I have to say, that kid named Lin Yan today was a monster, a real monster."

King Tong Nan nodded in agreement. "It is indeed abnormal. When Lin Yan was mentioned before, he was always compared with Bolan. But I did not expect that compared with Bolan's ability to pass the second level, Lin Yan's performance was so amazing."

True Yan King nodded. "If it were merely Law Comprehension, then it could be attributed to his talent. However, his foundation is solid. He is only at the first Cosmic level, yet his application of the laws is already so exquisite. He must have been guided by a master."

"I wonder who taught him; he's quite something."

"I haven't founded a sect, nor have I taken on many disciples, so I don't know much about this," King Tong Nan asked. "Lin Yan is only at the first level of the Cosmic level. How difficult could it be to give him some pointers? Is he really as powerful as you say?"

"You're an amateur," True Yan King laughed. "Even the same level of Yan Shen Armament can have huge differences in usage, let alone other things. Some things seem simple from our perspective, but when it comes to teaching, we have to peel back the layers so that the disciples can understand them."

"As for Lin Yan, take his swordsmanship for example. He has combined many secret techniques from 'Time-Space Essays and Space' and 'Cosmic Combination Theory' into his swordsmanship. How easy is that? And his Phantom Body combines and utilizes the mysteries of time and space. Even 'King Tianyi' couldn't help but praise him. This is not something that just anyone can teach!"

True Yan King spoke eloquently.

Although he looks rugged, he is quite skilled at teaching disciples, and even trained a disciple who was also Feng Wang level figure— the Bloodthirsty King.

King Tong Nan felt a little embarrassed. He found teaching Lin Yan quite simple; with just a little guidance, Lin Yan understood everything.

What does "unraveling the mystery" mean?

Don't know.

While he could offer some assistance with the Time Law, the only thing King Tong Nan could do with the Space Origin Law was to use his own insight to analyze the problem for Lin Yan.

"Oh, right."

"Didn't you say you mentored a young man and asked me to evaluate him and give him my opinion?" True Yan King asked curiously. "Only nine people chose the 'Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele' this year. Which one is it?"

"It's not the 'Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele'." King Tong Nan shook his head.

"Hmm?" True Yan King, somewhat puzzled.

If it can make Tong Nan willing to give guidance, what else could it be but the "Cosmic Extreme School"?

King Tong Nan smiled slightly and said, "He has already arrived."

Moment--

Lin Yan heard the divine power transmission from King Tong Nan in his ear, and then immediately rushed to their main hall.

Lin Yan glanced around.

King Tong Nan, seated in his seat, wore a faint smile, while opposite him sat a burly ape-man clad in Golden Battle Armor, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

Lin Yan stepped forward, stood before King Tong Nan, and bowed respectfully. "Teacher."

Teacher?

True Yan King turned his head to look at King Tong Nan.

King Tong Nan looked at Lin Yan and smiled, "When I taught you two years ago, I never imagined you could be so outstanding."

True Yan King stared at King Tong Nan full of black lines.

Good heavens!

Lin Yan doesn't know how to be down-to-earth; he only knows how to aim too high.

Um?

With my discerning eyes, I saw that Luo Feng had the potential to analyze the Law essence space.

You've also given some pointers to a young person; let me have my opinion.

So you're just teasing the monkey!

Clang!

A loud crash rang out, and a dark, long staff suddenly appeared on the ground. The staff had gold hoops at both ends, giving the entire black staff an ancient and rustic feel.

True Yan King picked up the long staff and laughed, "Haha, I accidentally dropped it on the ground."

As he spoke, he stroked the long staff with a pair of large hands covered in golden down, looking at King Tong Nan with an expression that seemed to be threatening.

I, Zhen Yan, will beat Tong Nan dog head!
