Yang Wu's Swelling, Travel Through Myriad Realms

Yang Wu clenched his fists, feeling his physical fitness increase by several hundred times. He even had a feeling... that he would dare to fight a great battle even if he were to face Hong.

Perhaps he knew that this was just an illusion caused by his strength increasing too quickly for him to fully control it.

Simply put, Yang Wu was swelling!

"While my strength has improved, my combat techniques clearly haven't kept up," Yang Wu sighed.

"For the next period of time, I need to specifically improve my techniques; otherwise, I will be the weakest 'Planet-level' in terms of bloodline and strength."

As for the abilities gained after breaking through to the Planet-level, they were also more peculiar than those of ordinary life forms.

For instance, the most intuitive ones were that he no longer needed to breathe, could even achieve the concept of 'Bigu', and could fly directly through the air.

Late at night.

Many people in the Mingyue Community were already asleep, but Yang Wu had left his villa.

As a native, Yang Wu instinctively wanted to break free from the earth.

In fact, almost every Planet-level expert who made a breakthrough would subconsciously explore the sky; it seemed to be a human instinct!

Whoosh!

With a thought, Yang Wu's figure shot into the sky, hovering quietly in the void. This time, he did not use his mental power.

"Is this the flight capability of a Planet-level?" Yang Wu looked down at the city below with a calm expression, yet his heart felt the light sphere within his Dantian!

He had finally discovered the true secret of Planet-level flight: it was because of the miniature planet!

The miniature planet rotated on its axis and possessed its own magnetic field.

By controlling the magnetic field of the miniature planet, he could counteract the gravity exerted by Earth, provide himself with a forward-moving magnetic force, and so on; thus, flight became natural!

"Only a warrior who possesses their own 'miniature planet' can be considered a true human," Yang Wu remarked with deep emotion.

In the universe, one was only qualified to be called a warrior upon reaching the Planet-level!

The so-called Fighters, Warlords, and War Gods were all ranks named by the people of Earth themselves.

In the Original Universe, these nine levels were collectively referred to as the nine stages of Apprentice.

Within the human race, those below the Planet-level were not even considered 'human' because they could not obtain legal citizenship!

Only by reaching the Planet-level could one barely wander in the universe and have the qualifications to scrape by and stay fed!

Those like the Councillor-level experts who had surpassed the War God level were Planet-level experts in the context of the universe.

For example, the world's number one expert, "Hong," the second, "Lei Shen," and the few others on Earth who had surpassed the War God level, all belonged to the Planet-level.

Only by reaching this level could one be considered to have truly entered the path of cultivation and be qualified to become a legal citizen of a Cosmic Civilization Kingdom.

However, the Planet-level... only barely enjoyed some of the most basic human rights protections.

On planets with established order, they would not be casually killed or snatched away to be used as a Slave.

But that was all. In the universe, they were at most considered hired thugs, servants, or Cannon Fodder.

On Earth, humans faced the threat of monsters, yet the internal relations among humans remained quite harmonious.

But in the vast and boundless universe, the human race was not so harmonious; naked survival of the fittest was the truth in the most general sense.

Looking at the situation in the slave markets for Planet-level, Star-level, and Cosmic Level slaves, one could see the darkness of the universe!

Clearly, even though the human race was considered a very powerful peak race, it could not completely escape this theorem.

This was why Yang Wu liked to cultivate and constantly improve his strength.

After all, the world of Swallowing the Stars was indeed too cruel; Big Tomato just didn't focus on describing this aspect.

Fortunately, the Master of Yun Mo Star had used a secret technique during his lifetime to cover the Dark Universe in the space around the Solar System, which had prevented Earth from becoming a slave planet.

However, Yang Wu knew the plot clearly and knew that this state could not last long. For instance, the Nolan Shan plot involved the appearance of Cosmic Level experts.

Yang Wu did not want to hand his fate over to the so-called 'plot,' so he would improve his strength as much as he could before then.

He would strive to reach the Star-level as soon as possible, so he could at least barely gain a foothold in the Original Universe.

As for what ideals or pursuits he could talk about after that, such as participating in the Genius Battle, those were issues for later.

"Those are still a bit distant for me. Let me step into the universe first," Yang Wu shook his head slightly, "along with my current Planet-level abilities."

"According to Babata, different Planet-level warriors have different abilities."

"The various special abilities of the Planet-level are actually mainly categorized into eight types—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Light."

"The reason these abilities are born is because of the differences in physique and soul."

"For example, the essence of the cosmic energy absorbed by an ordinary person is actually different, so the attributes of the Gene Primary Energy formed by this conversion are naturally different as well!"

"And Gene Primary Energy is mainly divided into the eight attributes of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Wind, and Light."

"One's own special abilities are naturally endowed based on the Gene Primary Energy!"

"There is no distinction of high or low among the eight categories. Any category contains very strong abilities, and naturally, there are also very weak special abilities!"

"But I'm still not quite sure what my ability is..."

He wasn't pretending this time; he truly didn't know.

The original work did indeed say that the Planet-level had unique abilities, but it only mentioned a few special abilities awakened after breaking through to the Planet-level.

Li Yao's ability upon breaking through to the Planet-level was light, which was similar to Hong's ability and would make their flight speed faster.

Luo Feng's ability after breaking through to the Planet-level, "Adamantine Body," was a decent special ability related to the Gold Origin, which could make his physique stronger.

But in reality, it was only mentioned once during the breakthrough, and later on, this so-called ability faded into nothingness.

Even if Yang Wu didn't know what his ability was, he had no intention of delving into it deeply.

After a simple flight, Yang Wu returned to the villa and lay in the bathtub to soak.

"Let me rinse off first," Yang Wu smiled.

"Splash, splash~~"

The hot water washed over Yang Wu's strong Planet-level body, rinsing away all the grime and dirt.

"Gurgle, gurgle~~"

The dirty water in the tub drained away in a Flowing Light, after which Yang Wu put the plug back in, lay down in the tub again, and let the hot water spray over his body.

Although he was lying there, Yang Wu's mood was unprecedentedly joyful.

A long time later, Yang Wu climbed out of the tub and wiped his body with a bath towel.

He was surprised to discover that his skin tone had changed; he had gone from his previous ordinary yellow skin to a bronze color!

With a thought, his Origin Force immediately merged into the surface layer of his muscles and skin, and he could clearly see that his skin seemed to have a faint Metallic Sheen.

That skin with the faint Metallic Sheen made him feel the powerful strength contained within it just by looking at it with the naked eye.

"Perhaps it's because of the Planet-level Dragon Blood Bloodline Evolution Agent, or maybe... my ability is similar to Luo Feng's, both being Adamantine Body," Yang Wu's mouth twitched.

It wasn't that Yang Wu looked down on the Adamantine Body, he just felt that this ability was a bit strange.
