Reminder

At Planet level eighth order, sheer strength already exceeded 300,000 tons. That terrifying power gave Jiang Mingyue incredible speed. In an instant, she became a blur and charged straight at the figure.

But just as Jiang Mingyue's fist was about to hit the figure, it shifted two inches to the side, as light and effortless as a breeze, without the slightest hint of force. In that instant, it dodged her punch.

Her sure-to-land attack had been evaded with ease. Jiang Mingyue was a little surprised, but she didn't hesitate. Once she regained her balance, she immediately spun around and whipped out a Whiplash Kick.

However, before Jiang Mingyue's attack could reach its target, the figure had already punched her in the ribs.

Crack!

In an instant, Jiang Mingyue felt several of her ribs break.

"What speed! What strength!" Jiang Mingyue was astonished. She couldn't understand how someone at Planet level first order could unleash such speed and strength!

Still, Jiang Mingyue didn't dwell on it. The battle had only just begun, after all. With her physical constitution, a couple of broken ribs were nothing!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At a disadvantage after just one exchange, Jiang Mingyue quickly retreated a long way.

The figure fighting Jiang Mingyue pursued her relentlessly. She raised her arms to defend herself, but the next moment, she froze.

Over a hundred identical figures had appeared within a hundred meters. Every single one seemed real, and Jiang Mingyue couldn't tell them apart.

"How am I supposed to fight this?"

Jiang Mingyue was stunned, but the hundred or so figures were already closing in. With no other choice, she braced herself and charged at them.

A moment later, Jiang Mingyue lay motionless on the ground. She still had strength left, but she didn't want to get up. She was fast and powerful, but she couldn't land a hit. She didn't want to experience being toyed with like that again.

"Looks like you admit defeat!" Wang Cheng came over.

"Brother Cheng, was that person really at Planet level first order?" Jiang Mingyue asked from the ground, struggling to accept it.

"You should have been able to sense his aura during the fight," Wang Cheng replied. He continued, "Do you want to know why you lost?"

"Why?" Jiang Mingyue asked at once. Of course she wanted to know.

"Because your technique is too poor," Wang Cheng said calmly.

"My technique?" Jiang Mingyue asked, puzzled.

"Your movement technique has reached Perfect level. That's decent among Apprentices, but average for someone at Planet level. Above Perfect level is Artistic conception level, and above that is the Domain level. Your technique still has a long way to go." Wang Cheng continued calmly, "Hong of the Limit Martial Hall is only at Planet level sixth order, but if you fought him, he could kill you in a few moves!"

"Hong?"

A glimmer flashed in Jiang Mingyue's eyes at the name. There probably wasn't a Warrior anywhere in the world who hadn't heard of Hong. As the world's strongest fighter, Hong had always been an object of admiration for countless Warriors.

Though Wang Cheng said Hong could kill her in a few moves, Jiang Mingyue still felt a little comforted. She had just been thrashed so badly that she'd begun to wonder if all her efforts over the past six months had been for nothing.

Now that Wang Cheng said she could at least fight Hong, she naturally felt a little reassured.

"Brother Cheng, what should I do?" Jiang Mingyue asked directly.

"Training your Gene Energy is the right thing to do. You must keep it up," Wang Cheng said calmly. "But while you're training your Gene Energy, you also need to focus on technique!"

"Mm." Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"Now that you've reached Planet level, you should have awakened a Special Ability, right? Why didn't I see you use it during the fight?" Wang Cheng asked.

"It's this." Jiang Mingyue got up from the ground and ran a hand across her body. A wound instantly appeared.

Under Wang Cheng's gaze, the wound quickly stopped bleeding, scabbed over, and healed completely.

"Hm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes.

"This ability can only heal small wounds, and it takes a lot out of me. It's pretty much a Chicken Rib," Jiang Mingyue said helplessly.

"You're lucky," Wang Cheng said, shaking his head.

When Warriors broke through to Planet level, they each gained a Special Ability. Usually, these abilities were related to the eight Low-level Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

A very small number of lucky people awakened abilities related to time or space.

With the help of Eternal Void and the Chaos Tablet, Wang Cheng had already studied the laws related to Time Acceleration in considerable depth. He could tell that Jiang Mingyue's Special Ability was related to Time Acceleration.

Since it involved the Time Law, it made sense that Jiang Mingyue found it draining.

"Can you only use this ability on yourself?" Wang Cheng asked.

"Mm." Jiang Mingyue looked at Wang Cheng with some confusion. She didn't understand why he thought she was lucky.

"You have a talent for movement techniques. I'll give you a Movement Technique Manual. Start by practicing from it," Wang Cheng said. Soon, a blurry figure flew over from the distance, holding a large book made of unusual material.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Jiang Mingyue glanced curiously at the somewhat blurry figure and took the large book from it.

Jiang Yue opened the book and saw that she couldn't recognize a single character.

"This is Cosmic language. If you're going out with me in the future, you'll need to know it," Wang Cheng said with a smile. "I'll find someone to teach you. You can start learning this manual once you've mastered Cosmic language."

"Brother Cheng, when you say 'going out,' do you mean leaving Earth?" Jiang Mingyue asked nervously.

"Of course. You didn't think I'd stay on Earth forever, did you?" Wang Cheng asked in reply.

"..."

Jiang Mingyue nodded. She didn't have any family on Earth, either. Her nervousness had just been a reflex. Thinking about it, if she had the chance to leave Earth and see a more wonderful world beyond it, that would be a good thing!

"Whenever you want to study Cosmic language or practice your movement technique, come find me. I'll bring you here. There's plenty of room for you to practice," Wang Cheng added.

"Mm." Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"All right, then." Wang Cheng was about to say something when Jiang Mingyue suddenly asked, "Brother Cheng, why are you helping me so much all of a sudden?"

"I wanted to help you, so I did," Wang Cheng said with a smile and a shake of his head.

To Jiang Mingyue, Wang Cheng might have seemed like a mysterious alien. But only Wang Cheng knew that he was alone in this world, with no family and only two friends: Silvia and Luo Feng.

In that situation, Jiang Mingyue—also alone, and someone who had lived with him for a long time—made him feel especially close to her. When he saw her heading down the wrong path, he couldn't help giving her some advice. It was no trouble at all.

Of course, Wang Cheng hadn't forgotten that Jiang Mingyue wasn't exactly a good person. It was quite possible that she had gotten Silvia's teammates killed.

"I understand. Thank you, Brother Cheng!"

Jiang Mingyue looked at Wang Cheng and nodded happily. Who knew what she thought she understood!

P.S. I got it wrong earlier when I said Ten Thousand Lines Flow wasn't suitable for Warriors to practice. I've corrected it now!
