Xiao Yu looked at the Space Ring before him, his heart filled with excitement.
Though he was unsure of the strength of his psychic power, he still planned to give it a try.
Calming his mind and focusing his spirit, he gathered his psychic power and sent it into the Space Ring, only to feel a barrier blocking it from going deeper.
"Could this Space Ring already have an owner?" Xiao Yu wondered in confusion.
If it were an ownerless Space Ring, his psychic power should have entered it easily. Yet now, it was like hitting a solid wall.
But if the owner of the Space Ring were still alive, it would counterattack an intruder. Now, though his psychic power had encountered an intrusion, it did not retaliate. That meant it had already recognized an owner, but its owner was dead.
In that case, even if he had to chip away at it bit by bit, he could eventually wear down the psychic power inside with his own.
For an entire day, Xiao Yu simply sat cross-legged on the ground, using the psychic power within his body to steadily erode the psychic power inside the Space Ring.
After exhausting his psychic power, he meditated to recover. Once recovered, he continued wearing it down.
After an entire day and night, the psychic power inside the ring had only diminished slightly—not even five percent.
"Damn, at this rate, it'll take at least a month to open the Space Ring."
Xiao Yu did not want to waste a month on the Space Ring, so naturally, he had to find another way.
There was only one option: increase his psychic power.
"System, set my third wish as a perfect twentyfold increase in psychic power."
Setting successful!
Third wish: Perfect twentyfold increase in psychic power (100,000 Wish Points).
"System, check my remaining Wish Points."
Remaining Wish Points: 110,600.
It was actually enough.
Without further hesitation, Xiao Yu silently recited, "System, fulfill my third wish: perfectly increase my psychic power by twenty times."
Wish Points have been consumed!
Third wish is being fulfilled...
Streams of intangible, ownerless psychic energy poured into Xiao Yu's upper dantian at the center of his brow.
After entering his body, this ownerless psychic energy became tainted with his aura and turned into psychic energy he could use.
Countless streams of psychic energy rapidly condensed within his upper dantian, forming a small spherical core.
The little sphere continued growing.
In mere moments, it grew from the size of a soybean to the size of a peanut.
Wish fulfilled!
Xiao Yu immediately felt incomparably alert. The world looked different in his eyes. With a thought, streams of psychic energy spread into his surroundings.
Every tree seemed to have been dissected, its layers of structure appearing clearly in his mind.
He gathered his thoughts and stopped letting his mind wander. The psychic energy he had sent out returned to the center of his brow.
Looking at the ring in his hand, he sent his psychic energy inside again. Upon encountering the barrier, Xiao Yu continually gathered psychic energy before it and condensed it into a rapidly spinning cone.
The conical psychic energy stabbed toward the invisible barrier. The two forces clashed continuously, but with Xiao Yu constantly replenishing it, the cone never changed shape.
A quarter of an hour later, a soft pop sounded in his psychic space, and the invisible barrier shattered.
Xiao Yu had consumed only three-tenths of his psychic power before sending it into the Space Ring.
With a sweep of his psychic power, he gained a general understanding of the space inside the ring.
It was an enormous space: 1,000 meters long, 800 meters wide, and 512 meters high, with a volume of more than 400 million cubic meters.
"Huh!" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise. "It isn't empty inside."
There were even bonus items.
In one corner stood two gigantic objects resembling space battleships. The smaller one was 100 meters long, 25 meters tall, and 25 meters wide. It was entirely pitch-black, and he could not yet tell what metal it was made from.
The larger one was 320 meters long, 50 meters tall, and 50 meters wide, with an overall streamlined shape.
On the other side was a pile of glowing objects cut into one-cubic-centimeter pieces. There were countless of them, stacked neatly, totaling around one million cubic meters.
"These should be Universe Crystals. Each one is probably a Universe Coin. I'm rich now!"
Xiao Yu was immediately overjoyed. One million cubic meters of Universe Crystals meant one trillion Universe Coins—one Hunyuan.
In another corner, dozens of jade boxes and nearly a thousand weapons and shields lay scattered about.
Among them were dozens of blade-type weapons alone.
Xiao Yu took a liking to a wheel-shaped weapon with a two-meter-long blade.
Using his thoughts, he took it out. With the blade pointing downward, it silently sank completely into the concrete ground.
This was way too sharp.
Xiao Yu had to exert some effort to pull it back out of the ground. The battle saber weighed at least a ton. He swung it forward with force.
The genetic energy in his body surged into the weapon in his hand like floodwaters bursting through a dam. A dense red glow flashed, and as the blade slashed, a blade aura nearly thirty meters long shot straight into the distance. It pierced through a residential building several hundred meters away and continued onward.
The high-rise collapsed with a thunderous crash, startling the surrounding monsters into fleeing in every direction.
Xiao Yu suddenly felt utterly exhausted. The genetic energy in his body had been completely drained in that instant.
"This thing is definitely an energy-devouring monster. I'll name you the New Moon Battle Saber."
With a thought, he stored the New Moon Battle Saber back into the Space Ring.
Xiao Yu sat cross-legged and resumed cultivating.
The next day, the genetic energy in his body became abundant again.
Xiao Yu rose to his feet and continuously trained within this temporary base.
He had previously used the system to raise his physical attributes to the War God level. His strength had multiplied, and he needed constant training to perfectly control his newfound power.
The best method was saber practice—repeatedly slashing, sweeping, and performing every kind of saber technique.
His feet did not stop either, as he trained his saber techniques alongside the Flowing Light Movement Technique.
He even repeatedly used the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.
Only after an entire week did he perfectly master his body again. Then, he continued his hunt.
"Roarrr—"
A low roar, like rolling thunder, suddenly sounded. Not far away stood a massive monster nearly four or five meters tall, larger than an ordinary truck. Its entire body was silver-white, faintly reflecting rays of light. Clearly, beneath its fur was a layer of silver scales. A small bulge protruded from its enormous forehead, as though something were about to break through its hide.
It was one of the two High-level Beast General Monsters leading the entire beast horde.
A High-level Beast General Lion Mastiff!
Boom! With a single leap, the Lion Mastiff leader shot across more than twenty meters like a silver streak of light and pounced directly before Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu leaped, instantly arriving at the side of the Lion Mastiff's head. The Silver Moon Battle Saber in his hand slashed out. Though he did not use the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, the saber still produced a sonic boom as it cut through the air.
A cold flash gleamed, and the tip of the Silver Moon Battle Saber pierced the Lion Mastiff's eye, sinking thirty centimeters deep.
The Lion Mastiff's gaze went blank for a moment. Its entire body began convulsing violently, and shortly afterward, it stopped moving.
With a flicker of thought, only a pile of scales, fur, and other materials remained on the ground.
Absorbing a C-rank Lion Mastiff corpse yielded 1,800 Wish Points.
Xiao Yu strode calmly through the monster horde, casually slashing with both sabers. A monster fell with every strike. Whether Beast Soldier level or Beast General level, every one of them was killed in a single blow.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yu alone had nearly slaughtered this beast horde of more than three thousand monsters, including two High-level Beast Generals, five Intermediate Beast Generals, and ten Beginner Beast Generals. Only a few F-rank monsters escaped.
Xiao Yu walked among the monster corpses. With a thought, the corpses vanished one after another, leaving only seventeen piles of materials behind.
Absorbing Lion Mastiff and Tiger Cat corpses yielded 120,000 Wish Points.
He directly stored all the Monster materials in the Space Ring.
Xiao Yu continued hunting other monsters.
Over the next five days, Xiao Yu wiped out another eight monster hordes led by High-level Beast Generals. Naturally, he also killed some scattered monsters. During those five days, he obtained a large amount of Monster materials and 910,000 Wish Points.
That day, after casually killing two Intermediate Beast General Monsters, Xiao Yu looked toward the Carrefour, one kilometer outside Vanke Fantasy City.
Two gigantic beasts that seemed to burn like flames sent chills through anyone who saw them. Their bodies were covered in fiery-red scales without a trace of other color. Most notably, each of their enormous heads bore three tall, curved horns pointed forward.
They were actually two Elementary Lord Fire Scale Three-Horned Pigs, the strongest among Pig-type monsters, with astonishing defensive power.
Massive Bloodthirsty Tank Monsters and Unicorn Wild Boar Monsters surrounded them. The scales of every monster in this horde were much brighter and seemed more refined than those of ordinary monsters.
There were more than a hundred monsters in the horde, and every one of them was at least Beginner Beast General level.
A blurry phantom appeared before the two Fire Scale Three-Horned Pigs. Its body solidified, turning into a human figure around 1.8 meters tall.
A large number of monster corpses fell from the sky behind him, accompanied by booming sonic booms.
A great number of monsters pounced at him.
Boom! Boom! The two Elementary Lord level Fire Scale Three-Horned Pigs also accelerated to Mach speed and charged at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu moved like lightning. Every flicker of his body carried the flavor and rhythm of thunder, making him incomparably swift.
Xiao Yu's movement technique had already begun entering the Artistic Conception level. He had comprehended it from the lightning during stormy weather through the Flowing Light Movement Technique.
Although the Fire Scale Three-Horned Pigs attacked at astonishing speed, each strike producing an explosive burst of air, they could not harm Xiao Yu in the slightest. Meanwhile, five scales around the necks of the Fire Scale Three-Horned Pigs had shattered, and two wounds had appeared on their forelimbs.
Nearly twenty of the Beast Generals surrounding him had also died.
"Roarrr—"
Amid an earthshaking roar, tens of thousands of monsters charged over like an overwhelming tide, led by more than thirty Beast General level Monsters. The ground itself trembled.
Even after so many monsters joined the battle, they still could do nothing to Xiao Yu.
Having reached the War God level, Xiao Yu could now fully unleash his movement technique, which had crossed the threshold into the Artistic Conception level.
Half an hour later, both Elementary Lord level Fire Scale Three-Horned Pigs were covered in wounds. Blood streamed from the left eye of one, while the joints of the other's two forelegs had been heavily injured. It struggled to move and had lost its speed, like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
