Yang Wu clenched both fists, feeling his physical attributes soar hundreds of times. He even had the feeling... that if he faced Hong, he would dare to fight him head-on.
Perhaps he knew that this was merely an illusion caused by his strength increasing too quickly and his inability to fully control it.
Simply put, Yang Wu had gotten swollen with power!
"While my strength has increased, my combat techniques clearly haven't kept up." Yang Wu sighed.
"For the next period of time, I need to focus on improving my techniques. Otherwise, I'll be the weakest 'Planet-level' in both bloodline and strength."
As for his abilities after breaking through to the Planet level, they were also more peculiar than those of ordinary lifeforms.
The most obvious example was that he no longer needed to breathe. He could even achieve something like 'Bigu,' and could directly perform Aerial Flight.
Late at night.
Many people in Mingyue Community had already fallen asleep, but Yang Wu left the villa.
As a native of Earth, Yang Wu instinctively wanted to break free from the ground.
In fact, nearly every person who broke through to the Planet level would unconsciously explore the sky. It was almost an instinct of humanity!
Whoosh!
With a thought, Yang Wu's figure shot into the sky and quietly hovered in the void. This time, he hadn't used Mental Power.
"So this is the flying ability of the Planet level?" Yang Wu calmly looked down at the city, while his mind sensed the sphere of light in his dantian.
He had finally discovered the true secret behind Planet-level flight: the Miniature planet!
The Miniature planet rotated, and it also possessed a magnetic field.
By controlling the Miniature planet's magnetic field, he could offset Earth's gravitational pull, generate a magnetic force that propelled him forward, and naturally achieve flight!
"Only a Warrior with his own 'Miniature planet' can be considered a true human." Yang Wu sighed with emotion.
In the universe, only upon reaching the Planet level did one qualify to be called a Warrior!
The so-called Fighter, Warlord, and War God were all realms named by the Earthlings themselves.
In the Original Universe, these nine levels were collectively known as the Nine Stages of Apprentice.
Among the Human Race, those below the Planet level were not even considered 'people,' because they couldn't obtain a legal citizen status!
Only after reaching the Planet level could one barely wander through the universe and qualify to scrape together enough food to survive!
As for Councillor-level experts who surpassed the War God level, they were Planet-level Experts in the universe.
For example, the world's number-one expert, "Hong," the second-ranked expert, "Lei Shen," and the few other Earthlings who had surpassed the War God level all belonged to the Planet level.
Only upon reaching this level could one be considered to have truly entered the path of cultivation and qualify to become a legal citizen of a Cosmic Civilization Kingdom.
However, the Planet level... could only barely enjoy some of the most basic protections of human rights.
On planets with an established order, at least one wouldn't be casually killed or captured and turned into a slave.
But that was all. In the universe, one could at most be considered a henchman, servant, or Cannon Fodder.
On Earth, humanity faced the threat of monsters, but humans themselves were relatively harmonious.
Yet across the vast and boundless universe, the Human Race was far from harmonious. Naked survival of the fittest was the most widespread truth.
One only had to look at the state of the Planet-level, Star-level, and Cosmic Level Slave markets to see the darkness of the universe!
Clearly, the Human Race was an extremely powerful pinnacle race, yet even it couldn't completely escape this law.
This was also why Yang Wu enjoyed cultivating and constantly improving his strength.
After all, the world of Swallowing the Stars was indeed too cruel. Big Tomato had simply chosen not to emphasize this point.
Fortunately, before his death, the Master of Yun Mo Star had used a Secret Technique to conceal the Dark Universe space around the Solar System, preventing Earth from becoming a slave planet.
But Yang Wu knew the plot very well. He knew that this state wouldn't last long. For example, during the Nolan Shan arc, Cosmic-level Experts would appear.
Yang Wu didn't want to entrust his fate to some so-called 'plot,' so before then, he would improve his strength as much as possible.
He had to strive to reach the Star level as soon as possible so that he could barely establish a foothold in the Original Universe.
Only after that could he talk about ideals, pursuits, and matters such as participating in the Genius Battle.
"Those things are still a little far away for me. I'll set foot in the universe first." Yang Wu shook his head slightly. "And then I'll focus on my current Planet-level abilities."
"According to Babata, different Planet-level Warriors possess different abilities."
"The various special abilities of the Planet level are mainly classified into eight categories—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light."
"These abilities are born because physiques and souls are different."
"For example, the essence of the Cosmic Energy absorbed by ordinary people actually differs from person to person. Naturally, the Gene Primary Energy formed through its conversion also has different attributes!"
"Gene Primary Energy is mainly divided into the eight attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, wind, and light."
"One's innate special abilities are naturally bestowed according to one's Gene Primary Energy!"
"None of the eight categories is superior or inferior to the others. Every category contains extremely powerful abilities, as well as extremely weak special abilities!"
"But what exactly is my ability? I don't seem to know..."
This time, he really hadn't been pretending. He truly didn't know.
The original work had indeed mentioned that the Planet level possessed unique abilities, but it had only described a few special abilities awakened after breaking through to the Planet level.
For example, Li Yao's ability after breaking through to the Planet level was light, similar to Hong's ability. It made their flying speed somewhat faster.
Luo Feng's ability after breaking through to the Planet level, Adamantine Body, was a fairly decent special ability related to the Gold Origin. It could make his physique even stronger.
But it had only been mentioned in passing when he broke through. Later on, this so-called ability had long since faded into obscurity.
Even though Yang Wu didn't know what his ability was, he had no intention of investigating it further.
After flying around for a while, Yang Wu returned to the villa and soaked in the bathtub.
"I'll rinse off first." Yang Wu smiled.
"Splish, splash~~"
Hot water washed over Yang Wu's powerful Planet-level body, cleansing away all the dirt and grime.
"Gurgle, gurgle~~"
The dirty water drained completely from the bathtub. Only then did Yang Wu plug the drain again and lie back in the tub, letting the hot water spray over his body.
Although he was lying there, Yang Wu's mood was more joyful than ever.
After a long while, Yang Wu climbed out of the bathtub and briefly dried himself with a bath towel.
He was surprised to discover that his skin tone had changed. His ordinary yellow skin had become bronze-colored!
With a thought, Origin Force immediately flowed into the surface of his muscles and skin. He clearly saw that his skin seemed to possess a faint metallic sheen.
Even with the naked eye, one could sense the tremendous power contained within that faintly metallic skin.
"Perhaps it's because of the Planet-level Dragon Blood Bloodline Evolution Agent. It's also possible... that my ability is similar to Luo Feng's, and we both have Adamantine Body." The corner of Yang Wu's mouth twitched.
Yang Wu wasn't looking down on Adamantine Body. He just felt that the ability was somewhat strange.
