Wang Yi Beyond the War God

"So, the Training Camp can serve as my temporary hiding place. As long as I don't display strength beyond the War God level and don't encounter a Planetary-level being, no one will be able to discover what level I've reached."

"If that doesn't work, I can only hunt two Lord-level monsters, obtain a War God evaluation, graduate from the Training Camp, and then return to the Base City!"

"But I don't know whether Hong has come out of seclusion. If I run into him after he does..." Wang Yi had a slight headache.

It wasn't that Wang Yi hadn't considered graduating from the Training Camp before breaking through. That would leave no hidden dangers, and he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered so easily. But... it would waste too much time.

Time was extremely precious to Wang Yi.

"Never mind. I'll break through to the Planetary level first, then cultivate on the Australian Continent for a while."

"With Wood Crystals, I can rapidly grow stronger, and the Moyun Vine can be cultivated as well. Once the Moyun Vine develops and my strength improves another step, I can go check in at other Ancient Civilization Ruins on Earth. Once I have enough power to protect myself, it won't matter even if I lay all my cards on the table."

Wang Yi knew full well that strength was the foundation of equal dialogue!

Without strength, all talk of equality was false.

Handing one's fate over to others was an extremely foolish thing to do.

Once he had made up his mind, Wang Yi finally had the mood to turn his attention to the reward he had just checked in for—the 'Space Ring.'

With a thought, the Space Ring immediately appeared in his hand. It was an ordinary-looking silver ring, and at the same time, a stream of information flooded into his mind.

"So that's how it is..." Wang Yi immediately understood how to use the Space Ring.

As long as he permeated it with a thread of Mental Power and fused his mental imprint into it, he could make the Space Ring recognize him as its master.

Wang Yi put the silver ring on the index finger of his left hand. The next moment, the ring flowed soundlessly like mercury and merged into his skin. Wang Yi felt a chill, and then the ring completely vanished from his finger.

A thread of Wang Yi's Mental Power entered the Space Ring, and the Space Ring underwent a subtle change. Then Wang Yi felt as though the ring had become an extension of his own limbs. He no longer needed Mental Power to clearly perceive everything inside it.

Inside the Space Ring was a rectangular space, roughly 612 meters long, 521 meters wide, and 108 meters high.

"As expected, it's the Space Ring Babata gave Luo Feng." Wang Yi nodded in understanding.

The storage capacity of this Space Ring made it a fairly valuable treasure even in the universe.

Wang Yi placed all the Wood Crystals and Spirits of Grass and Wood from his backpack into the Space Ring.

Looking at his empty left hand, Wang Yi was very satisfied.

Now he no longer had to worry about being discovered.

In the Wilderness dozens of kilometers from Fog Island's lake, the ground suddenly exploded. A figure shot out like a ghost, hovering in midair. Under the hazy moonlight, he revealed the appearance of a handsome young man in a gray-black combat uniform.

It was Wang Yi, who had just returned from checking in with Babata.

Wang Yi swept his gaze around.

"First, I'll find a place to break through. The Moyun Vine needs to be cultivated too."

Wang Yi returned to the cave on the steep cliff where he had originally hidden. The area was remote and desolate, with even monsters rarely appearing there. It was perfect for secluded cultivation.

"Moyun." Wang Yi released the Moyun Vine sapling. The red vine, barely over two meters long and resembling a bottle gourd vine, rooted itself in the rock. Its roots easily burrowed in, while its branches and leaves swayed toward Wang Yi.

"Moyun, stay here and cultivate with me for a while." Wang Yi stroked the Moyun Vine's leaves. A semi-transparent white crystal appeared in his hand, and a fragrant rice-like scent spread through the cave.

Sensing the Wood Crystal, the Moyun Vine sapling's branches and vines trembled even more violently. At the same time, a strong yearning consciousness reached Wang Yi's mind from the Moyun Vine.

"Eat. Grow up quickly, so you can help your master." Wang Yi crushed the Wood Crystal and scattered it over the Moyun Vine's leaves. The Moyun Vine wrapped up every last grain without missing any.

"Gulp~ Gulp~" A strange sound came from the Moyun Vine.

The Moyun Vine visibly grew larger. Its branches, leaves, and vines rapidly grew and spread, quickly filling the cave. More vines extended into the rock with sizzling sounds, growing at high speed.

Wang Yi could also sense the Moyun Vine's aura constantly strengthening, while its outer color gradually shifted from red to purple.

After devouring the Wood Crystal, the Moyun Vine began evolving rapidly.

However, according to Wang Yi's calculations, it would take at least four or five Wood Crystals for it to rapidly evolve to the first stage of the Planetary level.

The Moyun Vine was originally a massive Plant Life, so the energy it needed for evolution was naturally far greater than that of a human.

In the original story, the Moyun Vine Babata had thrown out took several decades to evolve to that point. Yet Wang Yi wanted it to evolve at top speed within a short period of time, so the cost would naturally be much greater.

Seeing that the Moyun Vine had already begun evolving, Wang Yi finally relaxed and prepared to cultivate.

Wang Yi sat cross-legged on the rocky ground and took two Wood Crystals from the Space Ring. Staring at the transparent white crystals that continuously wafted out an intoxicating rice-like fragrance, Wang Yi grinned, placed one Wood Crystal in each hand, and began cultivating.

Guided by Gene Energy, streams of energy swiftly surged into Wang Yi's body. The energy of the Wood Crystals differed from Gene Energy; it was incredibly pure and refined! It was easily absorbed and refined by the human body!

Not only were his genes evolving, but even his soul and the Mental Power within his Sea of Consciousness seemed like nourished seedlings, growing at a rapid pace.

As the pure, surging life energy of the Wood Crystals flowed in and fused with his genes and soul, Wang Yi's body continued evolving.

Bit by bit, he broke through his former shackles and reached a higher level.

In the dim rock cave densely covered with gently swaying red-purple vines, a figure almost completely submerged in the sea of vines sat quietly at the very end, motionless, yet the aura around him continued to grow stronger.

Time slowly passed...

The birds and beasts in this mountain range seemed to sense some terrifying presence and fled the area one after another. For a time, the mountains became even more desolate and deathly still.

Deep underground, black-purple vines spread and grew one after another, like an octopus extending its claws and fangs.

The invisible aura they emitted filled the keenly perceptive monsters with terror, leaving them too frightened to remain.

Meanwhile, the Training Camp students' Life and Death Adventures on the Australian Continent continued.

Some students communicated through their Communication Watches, while others fell silent.

Lin Youyu and Gao Yurong also knew that Wang Yi was undergoing dangerous wilderness survival training. Though worried, they never took the initiative to disturb him.

August 11, 2056, Wang Yi's eleventh day on the Australian Continent, 6:30 p.m. Huaxia Time.

The rosy glow at the horizon was gradually fading. Before the sun dipped below the mountains, its final slanting rays swept into the cave where Wang Yi was temporarily hiding, coating everything inside with shifting, mottled pale-gold light and shadow.

Within the dark cave, a figure suddenly stirred amid the purple vines, which had grown thicker than eight centimeters in diameter. He slowly opened his eyes, and in that instant, it seemed as though two flames had appeared in the darkness.

Boom!

Flames spread and heat waves surged. Startled by the sudden pain, the Moyun Vine hurriedly withdrew its vines. The young man, whose entire body was enveloped in flames like a deity, slowly rose to his feet. Looking down at his completely unscathed body amid the flames, he revealed an inscrutable smile.

"I finally broke through—the Planetary level!"
