Lightning Domain

April 15, 2057, Yangzhou City District, Mingyue Residential Area.

A blue-violet figure streaked through the sky toward a villa in the residential area, trailing threads of lightning.

At the Limit Martial Hall, Wu Tong happened to witness the scene as he gazed into the distance. He sighed. "That kid is becoming more and more incredible!"

A young Warrior who had just joined the Limit Martial Arts School beside him asked in confusion, "Are you talking about Councillor Xiao?"

The young Warrior was also a resident of Mingyue Residential Area. Though he had only recently moved in, he was well aware of the figure that often streaked across the sky.

With that figure around, Mingyue Residential Area in Yangzhou City was the safest place in the entire Jiangnan Base City.

Xiao Yu had only recently fused Bone Marrow Fluid into his body, and sparks of lightning occasionally leaked from him due to his imperfect control. While the lightning would not injure anyone, it could still leave them numb.

Therefore, over the past few days, whenever Xiao Yu returned home, he would wait until his mother, Xu Jingyi, had finished eating and left some food for him before he ate.

After every meal, Xiao Yu returned to the Qiankun Intelligent Fighter to rest or cultivate, because ever since absorbing the Bone Marrow Fluid—

He had felt something inexplicable, as though the movement technique and blade technique he cultivated were about to break through again. And it would not be an ordinary breakthrough.

When he had previously cultivated the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, he had already felt that his movement technique and blade technique had reached the Artistic Conception level. However, the Artistic Conception level had always given people a hazy, indistinct feeling.

If he broke through again, it would be the Domain level. A domain was something akin to an aura field that arose from comprehending laws. It was produced when one's body, will, Origin Force, and soul reached an incomparably wonderful state of harmony. Within a domain, its owner's strength could be greatly enhanced while the strength of enemies within it could be weakened.

Thanks to fusing with the Bone Marrow Fluid, Xiao Yu had become extraordinarily compatible with the Lightning Law. The law he most wanted to comprehend at present was the Lightning Law.

The Qiankun fighter took him to regions around the world with dense lightning activity so that he could experience lightning more directly.

In order to comprehend the Lightning Law more quickly, Xiao Yu accepted the inherited memories from the Lightning Secret Technique Inheritance Crystal Ball.

The memories within the Inheritance Crystal Ball were vast. They contained thirty-six special Lightning Race Lightning Secret Methods, as well as another 3,108 ordinary secret methods.

Most of these secret methods required one to possess a domain or comprehend a certain degree of the Lightning Law before they could be used.

Only one secret method could be used without comprehending either the Lightning Law or the Lightning Domain.

Learning these secret methods could also accelerate his understanding of lightning. This understanding was not merely mental; it also involved the Origin Force, soul, and body within him.

That was why, even after receiving the inheritance concerning law comprehension from the Inheritance Crystal Ball, he still needed to comprehend it himself.

Amid thunderstorms around the world, Xiao Yu continuously experienced lightning firsthand and practiced the secret methods from the Inheritance Crystal Ball. The longer it went on, the deeper his understanding became.

At last, his body, soul, Origin Force, and physique reached an incomparably wonderful state of harmony. A special aura field enveloped his body. Within this field, his strength increased tenfold, his speed could instantly accelerate to its maximum, and anyone else within the force field would have their speed greatly reduced if he wished it.

He, Xiao Yu, had finally become a genius who possessed a domain.

He was the second person on Earth to possess a domain, comprehending it even before Thor.

This was all thanks to the system's gift. He ought to be grateful.

The day was April 28, 2057.

Although Xiao Yu had been busy cultivating during this period, he occasionally paid attention to information about Luo Feng that the Elite Training Camp pushed to him whenever he had time.

The day before yesterday, on April 26, Luo Feng had made his first attempt after entering the Elite Training Camp. His Trial Tower level had already reached 3.2, his force exertion was 3.5, and his Combat Power Amplitude was 11.2.

The Elite Training Camp's April rankings would close at midnight tonight. At that time, the Limit Martial Arts School would convene a Round Table Conference, and Xiao Yu, as an Inspector, had also been invited.

That night, Xiao Yu entered the virtual space on time.

Inside a vast conference hall, the floor was silver, the walls were silver, and even the enormous round table was silver! Only the seven chairs were pure black, a black that seemed capable of devouring everything. At that moment, six white-robed figures sat around the silver round table, while one chair remained vacant.

Of the six white-robed figures, four were Chinese, one was white, and one was black.

"Everyone, this is Luo Feng's information."

"His Trial Tower level is 3.3, and his fist force exertion level is 3.5. In other words, his Combat Power Amplitude is 11.55, which is considered 'excellent.'" Inspector Wang said.

A Combat Power Amplitude of 1 to 2 was elementary. 2 to 4 was intermediate, 4 to 8 was advanced, and 8 to 16 was excellent. Luo Feng had already entered the ranks of the excellent.

The black man in white robes, Vladimir, nodded. "His monster-hunting achievement points are comparable to those of old trainees in their third year at the training camp. His Combat Power Amplitude is excellent, comparable to the average level of old trainees in their fifth year. Combined, he ranks second."

The black man in white robes, Vladimir, continued, "Inspector Wang, I agree to recruit Luo Feng, but the benefits you are offering seem somewhat..."

Xiao Yu said, "Vladimir, I think the benefits Inspector Wang has offered are not high. Not only are they not high, they are actually somewhat low."

Although this was Xiao Yu's first time participating in the Round Table Conference as an Inspector, he still needed to make his stance clear.

The Round Table Conference! Only seven people were qualified to participate in it—Hall Master Hong and the six great Inspectors. The six great Inspectors were all existences beyond the War God level!

The Hall Master and the six great Inspectors were the highest echelon of the Limit Martial Arts School!

Any one of them was enough to make an entire country deeply wary.

Previously, the Round Table Conference had been held by five great Inspectors, but now it was held by six. The Hall Master himself rarely intervened. Since Xiao Yu and the other six great Inspectors were scattered across the world, the Round Table Conference was always held in virtual space. Naturally, the other War Gods had only heard of it and had never seen it.

"Six Inspectors!" An electronic voice rang out.

Silence.

Xiao Yu and the other six Inspectors looked up. From the starry sky above the conference hall, six documents floated down and landed directly before the six Inspectors. The electronic voice continued, "These are the Hall Master's decisions regarding Luo Feng. If you have objections, you may report them to the Hall Master. If there are no objections, please carry out these decisions."

"Are there any objections?" the electronic voice asked.

"No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No."

The six Inspectors briefly looked through the documents and quickly responded one after another.

The contents were quite simple.

First, Luo Feng was required to formally join the Limit Martial Arts School, with annual operating funds of five billion Huaxia Coin.

Second, several rewards were established for when Luo Feng's combat strength reached certain thresholds:

"Should Party B reach a Combat Power Amplitude of 12 before June 1, 2057, he may receive a 9-Series Combat Suit, a complete set of weapons, a complete set of any secret manual, and one portion of Dragon Blood valued at eighty billion."

"Should Party B reach a Combat Power Amplitude of 12 between June 1, 2057 and October 1, 2057, he may receive a 9-Series Combat Suit, a complete set of weapons, and one drop of Jade Marrow valued at thirty billion."

"Should Party B reach a Combat Power Amplitude of 16 before January 1, 2059, he may receive an SS-class combat suit, a complete set of weapons, one portion of Dragon Blood valued at eighty billion, complete sets of any three secret manuals, and one set of the Ancient Civilization Relic 'Black God.'"

Xiao Yu gave it a quick look. It was more or less the same as the original work; only the timing had changed.

"Then, Inspector Wang, please carry it out immediately!" the electronic voice said.

"Yes," Inspector Wang replied. He handled such matters frequently.

Since Luo Feng's strength had improved so much, Hong might discover his identity as a Mind Controller earlier. However, the life-and-death adventure in Australia was inevitable.

During this period, Xiao Yu did not dare let his guard down. He had to prevent any possibility of Scorpion and her husband targeting Luo Feng's family.

He secretly instructed his personal guards to strengthen protection around the places Luo Feng's parents and younger brother frequently visited, and he himself would keep an eye on them from time to time.

After the Round Table Conference ended, Xiao Yu began his cultivation journey.

"System, set a wish to raise my strength to the peak of Planetary level ninth stage."

On the Warrior path in this universe, only major stages involved qualitative transformations. The advancement of minor stages could be entirely nurtured with resources. Thus, after the geniuses within powers like the Virtual Universe Company advanced from Planetary level ninth stage to Star level, they did not need to worry about the energy accumulation from First Order to Ninth Order. They only needed to spend a short time using expensive Nutrient Solution.

Although he did not have the support of those nutrient solutions, he possessed the system cheat. He could directly rise from First Order to Ninth Order, so there was no need to advance one order at a time.

Previously, he had lacked enough Wish Points and had no choice. Now that this problem had temporarily been resolved, there was no need to delay any longer.

Setup successful!

First Wish: Raise strength to the peak of Planetary level ninth stage (12 Wish Silver Coins)

"Fulfill the First Wish."

12 Wish Silver Coins have been deducted!

Wish is being fulfilled...

Xiao Yu sat cross-legged inside the Qiankun. In the tiny patch of void above his head, it was as though a bucket-thick opening had been torn open, and countless streams of special energy enveloped his entire body.

It was as though he had been immersed in water as boundless Cosmic Power poured into his entire body.

Every cell in his body continuously grew, while the genes within those cells were continuously optimized and strengthened.

At the same time, nearly endless Cosmic Power flooded into his Dantian space. Two miniature planets were continuously growing, especially the second miniature planet, which grew at the fastest rate.

When the second miniature planet nearly stopped growing, Cosmic Power still continued pouring into the Dantian space.

This Cosmic Power continuously condensed in another empty region of the Dantian space, eventually gathering into a miniature planet much smaller than the previous two.

The instant the third miniature planet formed, Xiao Yu's body trembled, and his body evolved even faster.

At the same time, the aura field within his domain grew even denser.

The lightning properties contained within the Cosmic Power in his body also became a little richer.

The third miniature planet continued growing, followed by the appearance of the fourth miniature planet...

The fifth miniature planet appeared...

The ninth miniature planet appeared and continued growing until all the miniature planets stopped growing.

The wish has been fulfilled!
