Real Universe, Donghai City, Donghai University, Dormitory 414.
After more than ten hours, Su Li finally opened his eyes again. The sky outside was still hazy, and aside from him, the other three people in Dorm 414 were still immersed in their sweet dreams.
Su Li looked at the sky outside, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He had spent too long in the Virtual Universe. The last time he had woken up seemed to have been yesterday morning.
He had lain in bed for so long in one go that, even though he had explained things in advance yesterday, it was quite remarkable that none of his roommates had called 120 yet!
After thinking for a while, Su Li began taking care of serious matters.
The first thing he had to do was, of course, purchase the E-Class rank from the Shop.
After opening the Shop, Su Li quickly found what he wanted.
Rank: E-(1%)—400 Resource Points
In the past, 400 Resource Points would have been an enormous sum that Su Li had never possessed. But now, after completing the advancement mission, he could still afford it.
Su Li clicked the purchase option in the Shop without hesitation. The next moment, as an immense stream of heat flowed through him, Su Li once again felt as though he had become invincible.
Of course, that was still an illusion!
At the end of the stream of heat, a cool current appeared out of nowhere and began gathering between Su Li's brows.
A moment later, a pitch-black "C" symbol appeared out of thin air between Su Li's brows.
As though sensing something, Su Li touched the "C" symbol on his forehead, then grinned.
Su Li had figured out what this symbol meant while in the Virtual Universe. It was the mark of his newly acquired talent—Carbon Manipulation.
That's right, the name of Su Li's new talent was "Carbon Manipulation"!
As its name suggested, Carbon Manipulation allowed Su Li to control carbon elements. Moreover, this wasn't macroscopic control, but manipulation at the atomic level.
Although he hadn't conducted any detailed experiments yet, Su Li knew that this was an incredibly overpowered talent.
The simplest example was that humans, as well as all living things on Earth, were carbon-based lifeforms. Su Li could control carbon elements at the atomic level—what that meant went without saying!
"Among carbon-based lifeforms, I'm truly invincible at the same rank!"
Su Li still had some self-awareness. It was impossible for him to be invincible across the entire field of carbon-based lifeforms, but among E-Class beings, he might very well have no opponents!
Whether they were E-, E, or E+, Su Li felt that he could directly cause their bodies to collapse.
Unless they could kill him instantly, how could they fight him?
"I knew my luck was incredible. Otherwise, how could I have obtained something like the Virtual Universe? Just with this 'Carbon Manipulation' talent alone, choosing the 'Nine Spirit Diagram of the Supreme God' was worth it!" As he thought about matters concerning Carbon Manipulation, Su Li muttered to himself, his words revealing how satisfied he was with his choice!
Not long after the strength of E- was manifested, Su Li stared at his attribute panel and fell into deep thought.

Nine days had passed since he obtained the Virtual Universe, and it had been less than a week since Su Li became a Superhuman.
In such a short time, he had gone from an ordinary person to an E-Class Superhuman by leaps and bounds. Su Li didn't know how this speed compared to that of others, but presumably, few could match him.
By now, Su Li had taken his first step on the Path of Superpowers. Next, he had to consider how he should take his second step along that path!
After E-Class came D-Class. The only D-Class creature Su Li had ever seen was that Cloud-Devouring Python. Regarding that Cloud-Devouring Python, Su Li could only say one word—strong!
After breaking through to E-, Su Li had become extremely powerful. He had tested himself a little on Gorol Star. In terms of strength alone, his current power was roughly ten times what it had been at F+. This meant that Su Li's current strength, using only both arms, was somewhere between twenty and thirty tons.
That kind of strength was already extraordinarily terrifying. After all, an ordinary small car weighed only around two tons. With twenty tons of strength, he could practically flatten and crush such a car with one hand!
In addition, his physical toughness, recovery ability, and other attributes had also improved tremendously. Of course, he could find a way to test his strength, but physical toughness couldn't be tested. Su Li didn't want to take a knife to himself.
Still, for something like this, intuition was actually enough. The body was like a precise instrument. With strength increasing tenfold, his other attributes shouldn't be too far behind either. Otherwise, after advancing to E-, Superhumans shouldn't call it evolution—they should call it suicide!
With such strength, Su Li had completely escaped his former awkward situation and become a little superhuman.
Even without using Carbon Manipulation, killing Su Li wouldn't be easy.
That said, Su Li had thought so much about how strong he was now for one reason alone: even though he had become this powerful, he felt that if he encountered the Cloud-Devouring Python again, he still wouldn't escape the fate of being killed instantly.
Carbon Manipulation consumed energy. Against an enemy of that size, Carbon Manipulation wouldn't be very effective!
Just as the gap between E-Class and F-Class was as vast as heaven and earth, the gap between D-Class and E-Class was equally enormous.
Therefore, after advancing to E-Class, Su Li was naturally not going to be satisfied. He had to become even stronger!
For now, however, farming monsters on Primal Star was still Su Li's best option. That way, he could obtain both energy and Resource Points—a perfect two-for-one.
Compared to it, the energy on Gorol Star was more efficient and easier to obtain, but there were also more restrictions.
First, Su Li didn't have Credit Points to purchase Energy Crystals. Second, he also lacked the Resource Points needed to manifest the level progress he gained on Gorol Star into reality.
"Forget it. Now that I've advanced to E- and obtained an enormous bug like Carbon Manipulation, I shouldn't be easily killed on Primal Star. My efficiency will definitely be even higher in the future!"
"Hmm, as for now, I'd better rest for a while. I'll wait until Primal Star's cooldown ends tomorrow before deciding what to do!"
