This is the first person in the Battle Arena who could block Yang Yu's attack.

Although this attack was just something Yang Yu casually threw out, and the accompanying domain was only at the Second Realm, he didn't use any of his Law Comprehension.

Nevertheless, the fact that the opponent could block it speaks volumes about their skill.

After the burly man barely managed to block Yang Yu's lightning-fast strike, he was about to laugh and swing his Great Axe at Yang Yu to end the fight.

Yang Yu merely smiled faintly, his Thunder Body Technique instantly creating distance between them. Then, with another flash, he transformed into a bolt of Leidian and charged towards the burly man once more.

This time, Yang Yu used the Thunder Blade Technique.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the burly man's Great Axe could no longer defend himself as a dazzling bolt of Thunder slashed across his body.

Yang Yu won easily once again.

Exit the Battle Arena.

Yang Yu's rating rose another star, reaching Seven Stars.

However, Yang Yu showed no signs of excitement. "Planetary Level opponents are still too weak. Let's fight for another hour, get the rating to Nine Stars, and then log off."

To be honest, this kind of battle is not as good as going to the Killing Field and setting your own suitable opponents. However, the opponents in the Killing Field are virtual after all. Even if you can perfectly display your combat skills, it is still not as direct as fighting against real people.

Secondly, Yang Yu wanted to use his performance in the Battle Arena to attract the attention of Man Luo and Ming Yu, and see if he could get the Bloodline Evolution Agent like Luo Feng and the others in the Original Work.

Although the Soul Devour Secret Technique can devour and refine the flesh and blood of enemies to perfect one's bloodline and genes in the later stages, it's unknown when that will be possible.

Yang Yu could now clearly sense that the Bloodline Level of Earthlings was indeed too low, and their efficiency in absorbing and refining energy was extremely low. Even though their cultivation level was already high enough, they still found it difficult to break through even minor obstacles.

This reminded Yang Yu that while he was boosting his ratings, he could also get a Bloodline Evolution Agent from the Virtual Universe Company, which would make leveling up much easier, at least until he reached the Domain Lord.

That's why I'm patiently stomping noobs here.

After these battles, Yang Yu also discovered that his combat skills were indeed very strong among Planetary Level, even when he Realm Suppression to match theirs.

After all, Yang Yu's combat skills were honed from fighting millions of Monsters, and coupled with his self-created Thunder Blade Technique, even these Nine-Star Rating opponents were powerless to resist.

Next, Yang Yu decided to simply forgo using the domain to assist in combat and instead rely solely on the Thunder Blade Technique, fighting Martial Artist.

Let's see if this can help me hone my skills while writing reviews.

After all, even though it was only an hour or two, Yang Yu didn't want to waste it.

Having made his decision, Yang Yu began to select his challenger.

This time, the opponent was again someone who had comprehended a domain, but only at the first level; he was a Spirit Reader. It can only be said that the quality of opponents in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is indeed quite average.

Arrive at the Battle Stage.

After choosing his weapon, Yang Yu didn't say much, nor did he activate his domain. Instead, he signaled to his opponent to make the first move.

Seeing Yang Yu's arrogance, the Spirit Reader named 'Wind Blade' unceremoniously controlled 24 thin and sharp blades to attack Yang Yu.

"Psychic Amplitude of 24, Domain First Level, that's decent strength."

Yang Yu remained remarkably calm as the Spiritual Weapon, forming a gigantic Wind Blade several meters long, hurtled towards him.

Just as the Wind Blade was about to strike him, Yang Yu suddenly swung his Thunder Blade, instantly shattering the opponent's giant blade with lightning speed.

Without pausing, Thunder Blade flashed again, slicing away all of the opponent's Mental Force blades with a dazzling light. The sharp blade force also tore the opponent's Mental Force to shreds.

Seeing that Yang Yu hadn't even used his domain, yet his simple Blade Technique had neutralized his most powerful attack, the opponent immediately tried to reassemble his blade and launch another attack.

Having already experienced his opponent's full strength, Yang Yu gave him no further chances. He unleashed his Thunder Body Technique, transforming himself into a bolt of lightning with the Thunder Blade, cleaving his opponent in two and sending him out of the Battle Arena.

Although Yang Yu could allow his opponent to repeatedly condense Spiritual Weapon to attack, he could repeatedly shatter those weapons himself.

Just like in the Original Work, the Special Grade Elite sent by the Virtual Universe Company tormented Luo Feng and his group.

But Yang Yu didn't like this behavior; sometimes respecting your opponent is also respecting yourself.

Unless the opponent provokes him from the start, Yang Yu will decisively defeat his opponent after assessing their full strength, rather than deliberately humiliating or torturing them.

Man Luo was secretly observing Yang Yu's battle, was full of admiration. "He's quite a good kid. Ming Yu should keep a close eye on him."

Then Man Luo sent an email to Ming Yu, meaning that once Yang Yu's rating reached nine stars and no worthy opponent could be found, she would send out the strongest Special Grade Elite fighter in the Planetary Level of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.

If Yang Yu loses, they should proactively recruit him and offer him the treatment of First-Class Elite. If Yang Yu wins, they should have the Virtual Universe Company test Yang Yu at the strongest Planetary Level in the Ganwu Universe Country.

If Yang Yu still wins, then the other party will be given the highest level of treatment!

Upon receiving the email, Ming Yu read it carefully and immediately replied respectfully to Man Luo, expressing that he would definitely pay close attention to Yang Yu.

Unbeknownst to Man Luo, Yang Yu, who had already attracted her attention, was still engaged in battle after battle.

An hour passed quickly.

Yang Yu's record reached 300 wins and 0 losses, and his rating also reached Nine Stars.

This is also the only Nine-Star Rating holder at the Planetary Level 3 in the current Battle Arena.

He stood out particularly among the group of Planetary Level Nine Spirit Reader and Martial Artist.

Moreover, Yang Yu's 100% win rate is even more impressive.

Ming Yu, External Steward of Black Dragon Mountain, was also taken aback when he saw Yang Yu's battle record. "No wonder Man Luo asked me to pay attention to him. This record is truly outrageous."

Ming Yu retrieved the battle footage of Yang Yu in the Battle Arena, and the more he watched, the more he felt it was incredibly powerful.

"To defeat Planetary Level Nine Planetary Level 3 easily, especially one with a domain and a Spirit Reader / Martial Artist, without using any domain assistance, is truly monstrous."

As Domain Lord Level powerhouse with the backing of the Virtual Universe Company, Ming Yu has seen countless geniuses, but someone like Yang Yu is a rare find.

"In a few days, after he has killed all the Planetary Level Nine geniuses in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, we will find suitable Special Grade Elite to test him."

Ming Yu thought to himself.

The recruitment process at the Virtual Universe Company is very rigorous. It requires a comprehensive assessment of Yang Yu's potential and strength, an evaluation based on his actual combat performance, and finally, a matching offer for his recruitment.

After finishing his match, Yang Yu looked at the challenge list, which was filled with opponents rated Nine Stars each. Yang Yu simply shook his head and logged off to return to reality.

This was because Yang Yu later had Babata block out opponents below Nine Stars; otherwise, he would have received even more challenges.

During that hour, Yang Yu didn't actually fight many times, after all, even in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, there weren't many truly strong individuals among the Planetary Level.

Those with exceptionally strong Psychic Amplitude and domains are always a very small minority, and these people only occasionally enter the Battle Arena.

Yang Yu plans to spend about an hour each day for the next month fighting against some special or powerful opponents in the Battle Arena, to experience their fighting styles and successfully attract the attention of the Virtual Universe Company.

Consciousness returns to reality.

Yang Yu got up and stretched for a moment, then sat down cross-legged again, focused his mind on the Origin Law Ocean, and began a new round of cultivation.

Before we knew it, ten days had passed.

Babata's Black Dragon Spaceship approached the star field outside Earth that was shrouded by Hu Yanbo's Space Secret Technique. After controlling the spaceship to break the Secret Technique along a special flight path, the Black Dragon Spaceship stirred up a spatial ripple and arrived in the starry sky outside Earth. At this time, Yang Yu also woke up from his seclusion.

During these ten days, Yang Yu engaged in another battle in the Battle Arena.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't encountered a truly powerful opponent. The strongest one was only Spirit Reader at the Domain Second Level, and Yang Yu killed him instantly without even using his Domain Realm.

Afterwards, Yang Yu challenged a few more interesting opponents before leaving the Battle Arena and heading to the Killing Field to fight against some stronger opponents to test the laws he had just comprehended.

Compared to the real people in the Battle Arena, the opponents he set up in the Killing Field were much stronger. Under the pressure of opponents who were a notch above him, Yang Yu basically transformed all his recent insights into combat power.

Then, when I opened my eyes again, I was on Earth.

This trip took almost a month, but it was very fruitful. Now that he's back, Yang Yu plans to cultivate more and also get enough money in the Virtual Universe before entering the real world.

"Babata, activate stealth and land the spaceship in the valley where I was cultivating before."

"Receive."

As the entire hull of the Black Dragon Spaceship flashed with light, the ship entered stealth mode, silently passing through the Earth's atmosphere and then precisely landing in the valley.

Open the hatch.

Yang Yu led more than 300 slaves out of the spaceship.

"Ling Yue, Ling Yin, Salak, and ten other Star Level 1 Nebula Race, you come with me. As for Dewen, you and the rest of you wait here for further instructions."

"Yes, Master!"

All the slaves replied respectfully.

Yang Yu then stored the spaceship in his Space Ring and flew towards Jiangnan Base City with Babata, Fengling Yue, and the others.

"Yang Yu, how long do you plan to stay on Earth this time?" Babata's voice echoed in Yang Yu's mind.

"Didn't you say that if we achieved Nine-Star Rating in the Battle Arena of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, we would qualify to enter the Ganwu Universe Country Gambling Arena? Now that we've met the requirements, we can wait until we've gotten enough money there before entering the universe. Anyway, we don't lack cultivation resources at this stage."

Yang Yu replied to Babata in his mind.

"Sure, with your performance in actual combat, you'll be rolling in money there."

Babata had previously told Yang Yu about many ways to make money in the Virtual Universe. Although there were many methods, the only one that was truly suitable for Yang Yu was this 'Gambling Arena'.

A Virtual Combat Platform that brings together players from the entire Ganwu Universe Country, ranging from Planetary Level to World Lord Level.

The number of spectators at any given moment is astronomical!

The only qualification for participants to enter this platform is to obtain Nine-Star Rating in the Battle Arena of this star field. Then they can register to engage in wager battles with opponents from the entire Ganwu Universe Country, with all amounts settled in Ganwu Dollar.

It also allows viewers to bet live, taking a 1% cut from the prize pool. Viewers can bet on themselves to win, but not on themselves to lose.

With Yang Yu's current combat skills, this is indeed the fastest way to make money, without interfering with his cultivation.

Yang Yu prepared to handle the next steps before starting this project.

With this plan in mind, Yang Yu and the others soon arrived at their home in Jiangnan Base City.

During the flight, Yang Yu took the opportunity to observe the situation on land and learned from Babata that the Earth was basically the same as it was before he left.

The situation in Jiangnan Base City remained stable as always. Grandpa, Wang Lin, and the others were all safe. What made Yang Yu happy was that when his powerful Mental Force swept across the Base City, Jia Yi's strength finally broke through to the War God, becoming a Junior War God.

The number of other War General Level and Warrior Level Martial Artist has also begun to surge, indicating that the Liulan Star Secret Manual is starting to take effect.

This cultivation manual from the universe is quite effective in guiding basic cultivation.

Seeing that the situation in all the Base City in Huaxia was still acceptable, Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then led everyone to land in his own private residence.

To highlight Yang Yu's achievements, the Military built a very large residence that could comfortably accommodate hundreds of people.

"You all wait in the yard."

"Yes, Master!"

Yang Yu then found his grandfather and Wang Lin practicing in the training room in the backyard. "Grandpa, I'm back. How has your training been going?"

"It's Xiao Yu back! Our cultivation is going well, but you've been in seclusion for quite a while this time. It's been almost a month since you came home." Grandpa Yang, who was lifting weights and sweating profusely, put down the heavy Barbell and said happily when he saw Yang Yu.

Wang Lin, who was standing nearby, also excitedly stopped practicing his boxing. "Hey, Brother Yu, you're finally back!"

"Haha, my disappearance this time wasn't just for secluded cultivation. Grandpa and Xiao Linzi, stop cultivating for now. I have something good to give you. Come with me."

Yang Yu said with a smile.

Just now, when Yang Yu scanned the training room with his Mental Force, he actually knew the progress of Grandpa Yang and Wang Lin's martial arts training.

After consuming the Emerald Spirit Fruit and the Millennium Black Crow Root Essence, Grandpa indeed became decades younger. His previously white hair was now completely black and shiny, and his energy and spirit were no different from those of a robust man in his thirties or forties. His physical fitness also reached the Advanced General-Level, but his Martial Way Realm was quite ordinary, which showed that Grandpa's talent for cultivation was very average.

Wang Lin's talent for cultivation is quite good. Judging from his Fist Technique and Movement Technique, they have reached a high level. His Movement Technique have been completely consolidated at the Micro Level, and his Five Element Fist is gradually showing signs of becoming a unified whole.

Upon discovering this, Yang Yu was quite gratified, as Wang Lin might actually be able to achieve some success in Martial Way on his own.

"Hehe, Brother Yu, every time you say you have something good, it's a real surprise. I wonder what it is this time." Wang Lin happily finished his practice and ran over to say.

Grandpa Yang slowly lowered the heavy Barbell, making a dull thud. "Let's go back now and see what surprise Xiao Yu has in store for us."

This Barbell was made of special materials by the Jiangnan Base City Arms Factory, and it is perfectly capable of being used for strength training by Advanced General-Level Martial Artist.
