One after another, the names got more cringeworthy than the last!

The names made Xu Yang shake his head repeatedly. It seemed that getting a proper education was important. Otherwise, even if one became powerful, the inheritance memories one left behind would only be mocked by generation after generation of descendants, their embarrassing history lingering for tens of thousands of years...

No, if none of the Silver Wolves have gone to school, then shame doesn't exist. I'm judging monster beasts' thoughts with the mindset of my previous life.

Sure enough, once he adjusted his mindset, Xu Yang immediately stopped finding the names of these secret manuals embarrassing. Instead, he found them simple and direct, and rather satisfying to roar aloud...

After browsing around, Xu Yang discovered that there were 101 Blue Stars in total. Most contained Star Level secret manuals, while a small number taught descendants how to comprehend Domains.

After all, the Silver Wolf Clan's bloodline was not particularly noble. Unlike the Golden Horned Beast, whose top-tier bloodline allowed it to automatically comprehend Domains and laws once it reached the necessary realm, they could only leave methods in their inheritance memories to help their descendants comprehend Domains. Even then, those methods could not guarantee that their descendants would comprehend a Domain.

They themselves had only comprehended Domains through trial and error, so these methods merely recorded the circumstances under which they had done so. For instance, an elder of the Silver Wolf Clan who had comprehended the Fire Domain had warned later generations in the Blue Star belonging to him that, after awakening fire-attributed Origin Power, they should stop devouring monster beasts of other attributes and hunt only fire-attributed monster beasts. Then, when breaking through to the Star Level, they might possibly comprehend a Domain.

The warning left Xu Yang utterly dumbfounded. Clearly, this method was not some universal truth. Yet because that Silver Wolf elder had comprehended the Fire Domain through it, he was qualified to leave his own insights within this Inheritance Space. Unless, one day in the future, a descendant more accomplished than him in the path of fire came here, only then could they erase the fallacies he had left behind... Otherwise, his words would be passed down generation after generation.

This is the sorrow of small races. The Original Work said that the Monster Race's social system was extremely backward. With every layer cut off from the next, perhaps even the Universe Level members of the Silver Wolf Clan never received any systematic inheritance and had to grope their way through cultivation on their own.

And the Monster Race's nature makes it difficult for them to teach without discrimination. It isn't strange for members of the same race to devour one another, much less members of different races.

Shaking his head as he flew, Xu Yang saw the bigger picture through the smaller one. The state of the planet he lived on was enough to make it clear.

Buzz!

Xu Yang was sent tumbling by a ripple that suddenly appeared in the void, his consciousness-condensed body rolling backward through the air.

Damn, I'm not even allowed to get close?

Xu Yang stared in astonishment at the Purple Light Star ahead, which continuously sent ripples spreading through the void. He had just wanted to browse the inheritances within the Purple Light Star, but before he could approach, the ripples automatically triggered by the star had knocked him away.

Unwilling to accept it, Xu Yang tried the other two Purple Light Stars. Unsurprisingly, he was knocked away again.

Is my current strength still insufficient? Or are there other conditions I haven't met? Bloodline, Domain, or perhaps... laws?

Xu Yang gave the three Purple Light Stars, which were gradually returning to calm, one unwilling look before turning and vanishing from the Inheritance Space.

In reality.

Xu Yang opened his eyes, and starlight seemed to flash through them.

The Brown Bear outside the cave was still snoring away. It seemed the commotion from obtaining a Domain was not Loud.

System, come out.

Host: Xu Yang Race: Silver Wolf Strength: Planet Level Sixth Rank Resources: 1.2/3

The main panel still contained only these four entries. The Second Layer Wind Domain merely had a small line of black text beneath the Domain Draw disk describing it.

Is this Domain that low-level? How come it can't even generate its own separate entry...

A look of astonishment flashed through Xu Yang's Eyes, and he could not help grumbling inwardly.

It had just passed midnight. Xu Yang tried to go back to sleep, closing his Eyes, Opening them, closing his Eyes, Opening them...

Helplessly, he discovered a fact...

He had insomnia!

It must be because I'm still incredibly excited deep down, so I can't fall asleep.

Since he could not sleep, Xu Yang simply entered the Training Room. Today's two hours of training time had refreshed anyway.

Buzz!

The panel rippled with white light, and Xu Yang's consciousness entered the Training Room.

It was still the ghastly white Training Room space.

An endless expanse of monotonous white. Familiar with the way, Xu Yang ran toward the Force Matrix.

At the entrance, there was a click, and the door opened automatically, still as smart as ever~~

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang was Just About To step inside when the system's notification suddenly rang by his ear—

The host has Comprehended a Domain. Would you like to activate the Domain suppression restriction? Otherwise, training effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"What is the Domain suppression restriction?" Xu Yang asked aloud.

Silence.

Xu Yang had long grown used to it and did not expect the system to answer. Every day when he came to the Training Room, apart from training, what he looked forward to most was being able to speak freely, even if only to himself!

"Forget it, I won't activate it for now. Let's see whether the effect is what I think it is..." The moment the words left his mouth, Xu Yang felt the excitement in his eyes nearly overflow.

Whoosh!

With a burst of force from his hind legs, Xu Yang instantly vanished from the Original Spot, and the door automatically closed.

Inside the door.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

As usual, a string of refresh sounds Sounded. Dense crowds of Green Wolves appeared across the open ground around Xu Yang, on hills, dead trees, and all kinds of terrain simulated by the system. The funniest part was that the system had only simulated the shapes and could not even be bothered to add basic colors. The dead trees, hills, rivers, and other terrain were all blank white, looking utterly unrealistic...

"Woohoo, come on! This Time, your Uncle Xu Yang is going to wipe away his humiliation!!"

His body, more than ten meters long, trembled faintly with excitement. His pine-branch-like tail swayed gently as Xu Yang looked at the Green Wolves around him, all poised to charge, and let out an unrestrained, provocative roar.

Rumble~~~

Heavy stomping like war drums echoed out as every Green Wolf charged toward Xu Yang.

"Good!"

Xu Yang did not act recklessly. He knew his force level was still only a little over two, and he would definitely not survive such a siege. Thus, he released the Second Layer Wind Domain at once!

"Woooo—"

Centered on Xu Yang, streams of cyan air continuously spread outward as his Origin Power erupted. The gentle airflow transformed into fierce gale-force winds, instantly making the Green Wolves that stepped into his Domain feel as though they had sunk into a swamp, their movements slowed by more than tenfold!!

"Hahahaha! Just as I thought! You don't have Domains, so I'm going to make you pay!!"

Xu Yang was overjoyed. Just as he had guessed, the Green Wolves inside this Force Matrix had no Domains. Now that he had one, could he not finally avenge all the times he had been torn to pieces by them every day?

A wolf claw like a streak of the Milky Way, carrying a cyan wind vortex, slammed down. Each sharp claw upon it was like a gleaming long blade, chopping directly toward the Green Wolves at his side!

Crash~~~

The blast of air exploded. The powerful impact instantly broke the Green Wolves' spines, followed by the tearing squelch of claws cutting through ruined leather.

"Roar!!"

With a violent shake of his beast claw, the wolf corpse in his grasp instantly exploded into a spray of blood and gore!

"None of you will escape!!"

Though these were merely sparring partners generated by the system, Xu Yang had truly been torn apart alive by them again and again over the past half month. The heart-piercing pain, the dead silence of sleeping darkness after death... all of it had been genuinely imprinted upon his soul.

Therefore, Xu Yang's resentment toward these Green Wolves was completely real!
