"They're just junk; even if you stripped them of all their equipment, it wouldn't be worth much," Fengling Yue said with a wry smile.

"Then keep it. We'll give it to the Planetary Level people when we get back. Let's continue on our way in the original formation and try to reach our destination before dark." Yang Yu waved, signaling everyone to continue their journey.

On the vast Flower Language Plain, a gentle breeze blows, stirring the flowers and grass on the grassland.

However, lying beneath the flowers and grass were the corpses of twenty elite students from the Hundred Tiger Tower.

"Master, do you think we'll run into trouble after we kill the people from Hundred Tiger Tower?" Fengling Yin, the younger sister, asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Ling Yin. Hundred Tiger Tower loses tens of thousands of these students every year. The number we've killed is just a drop in the ocean. There won't be any trouble," Yang Yu said without a care in the world.

The truly core students are not these easily broken pieces; they must at least have grasped the essence of the field.

"Hehe, that's good. I was worried I might cause you trouble, Master," Ling Yin said happily upon hearing that everything was alright.

"Don't worry, most of those forces that come to the Shilan World to participate in the assessment are not true elites. As long as they provoke us, just kill them without hesitation. If anything really happens, I'll be there for you."

Yang Yu said confidently.

Putting everything else aside, his status as Special Grade Elite outside the Virtual Universe is enough to crush this so-called Hundred Tiger Tower.

Not to mention that after experiencing this assessment, Yang Yu prepared to apply for Special Assessment from the Virtual Universe Company to become a true Core Member.

Judging from the experiences of the past few days, ordinary tests really don't have any effect on Yang Yu's current level of development.

In that case, once a suitable target for possession is found and the possession is successful, one should join the Virtual Universe Company to undertake truly challenging missions.

While you're at it, go and see the Chaos Monument, Chaos Beast, and other treasures in Chaos City, and also find some valuable Secret Technique for reference. It's not good to just bury yourself in cultivation all the time.

Half a day later.

It was dusk.

Yang Yu and his group stood in a straight line dozens of kilometers outside a dark and gloomy forest.

"That's enough for today. We'll enter the dense forest again tomorrow after dawn. There are too many nocturnal Fierce Beast lurking in the Dark Forest at night."

Yang Yu arranged for everyone to set up camp there.

After a day's journey and two battles, the group was feeling a bit tired, but they all happily agreed. They took out their survival tents, set them up, and rested according to their assigned teams.

Those on night duty diligently guarded their surroundings, while those not on duty quietly cultivated themselves.

After a night of cultivation, Yang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the profound mystery of 'slow'.

At dawn, Yang Yu got up and practiced a set of the Heavenly God Diagram. After so much practice, Yang Yu's body had reached 56 times the amplitude, which was on par with the Psychic Amplitude. This progress was neither fast nor slow, since Yang Yu's main focus was on Law Cultivation, and he only practiced during his rest time as a kind of seasoning.

Yang Yu then practiced the Thunder Lightning Diagram again, continuing to increase the Psychic Amplitude. This was a gradual process, just like Body Force Output; it could only be improved through repeated practice.

By the time Yang Yu finished practicing, the giant sphere of light in the sky had completely illuminated the earth.

Yang Yu and his companions were quite lucky that night; they were neither attacked by the Shadow-Annihilation Beast nor encountered the Time Storm.

"Let's continue!" Yang Yu called to the group. "Today we'll try to traverse one-third of the entire Dark Forest and reach the Sunset Mountain Range on the other side in three days."

"Yes, Master!"

After swiftly traversing dozens of kilometers, Yang Yu and his group entered the Dark Forest.

This vast forest is filled with towering trees thousands of meters tall, with scattered shrubs and grasses ranging from a few meters to tens of meters high growing in the open spaces.

The dense, towering forest makes it difficult for light to penetrate, creating a dark, damp, and oppressive atmosphere—hence the name "Dark Forest."

The rotting, damp air from the dead trees and corpses accumulated over millions of years was very unsettling. The shadowy figures of Fierce Beast could be seen in the distance as they traveled, and the ever-present threat of Time Storm kept everyone on edge.

"Master, the trees here are so dense! We're traveling so slowly. I wonder if we can even cover a third of the distance today," Fengling Yue said worriedly as she flew low on her Spiritual Weapon.

"It's alright, we can travel a little slower, safety is the most important thing." Yang Yu also cautiously looked around.

Although this Dark Forest is not a dangerous place, the World Lord World is constantly evolving, and many dangers are unknown, so we cannot be careless.

We traveled cautiously the entire way.

Suddenly.

The dense forest began to shake, and a gale swept in from all directions, causing the ground to tremble violently and tearing cracks into the earth.

"What's going on!" Jarvis exclaimed in surprise at the bizarre scene.

"Everyone, stay calm, maintain formation, and don't panic! You can handle any danger yourselves," Yang Yu immediately shouted, while simultaneously manipulating the Thunder Blade to surround himself, and Thunder Domain suddenly appeared, protecting everyone within it.

Sensing Yang Yu's domain, everyone regained their composure and looked around at the changes.

The violent shaking caused tall trees to sink into cracks, and the wind grew even more violent, making it difficult for Yang Yu to stand steadily!

If it were Time Storm, it wouldn't be this violent when it first formed.

Of course, this isn't absolute.

In the ever-evolving World Lord World, anything is possible.

"Let's move forward, it seems a hurricane is forming." Upon seeing this, Yang Yu immediately controlled his domain, enveloping everyone and bursting forward at top speed to escape.

Just to be on the safe side, Yang Yu decided to create some distance first.

But the sudden storm was clearly beyond Yang Yu's expectations. Just as Yang Yu unleashed his domain technique to escape at top speed, the storm suddenly intensified, sweeping everyone into its center!

Along with the storm, trees, rubble, and mud were swept away.

"Grass"

Yang Yu only had time to utter this last word before releasing the Moyun Vine to grab the nearest Fengling Yue Sisters, and then he went into a daze.

This was the first time Yang Yu had ever felt discomfort in his soul!

This discomfort included the unease of a distorted sense of time, a ray of Light Law flickering in and out of his Consciousness Sea, and an invisible Wind Blade cutting through his Soul Defense.

"Ding ding ding~"

One after another, illusory Wind Blade struck the Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower, producing a dense and crisp sound.

"Fortunately, I strengthened my soul to the limit of this stage before coming here, Thunder Soul Refining Technique has also greatly improved my willpower during this time." After the initial daze, Yang Yu regained consciousness.

He immediately checked on the people around him, but upon checking, Yang Yu discovered that this place no longer seemed to be the original Dark Forest!

The two Fengling Yue sisters, who had been held captive by the Moyun Vine before falling into a coma, are now nowhere to be found.

Fortunately, the storm had already passed, and no unknown Soul Attack were affecting him.

Upon realizing something was amiss, Yang Yu immediately stood up and used his Mental Force to investigate the surroundings.

After some effort, Yang Yu realized that he was no longer in the Shilan World.

This gave Yang Yu a vague idea in his mind.

"Could it be?"

"Babata, are you there?" Yang Yu called out in his mind.

"Yeah, I was engrossed in a game. What's up now?" Babata's casual voice rang out. "Hmm? Where am I?"

Only after regaining his composure did Babata realize that something was wrong.

"That's why I asked you, I didn't know." Yang Yu was slightly speechless. It seemed he would have to let Babata play virtual games less in the future.

"Hmm, let me see." Babata immediately operated both the large detector and the sophisticated small detector simultaneously.

After a while.

"Yang Yu, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

"Hehe, let me start with the bad news," the Little Devil Babata chuckled wickedly. "The bad news is that we are now in a completely new World Lord World, with no intelligence to rely on. All the dangers here are unknown, so we must proceed with caution."

"The good news?"

"The good news is that this is the legendary World within a World!" Babata shouted excitedly. "It's the World Lord World that exists within the World Lord World!"

"World within a World?" Yang Yu was first stunned, then overjoyed. "I never expected that the strange Time Storm that suddenly appeared would actually pull me into World within a World."

Yang Yu never expected that he would miss the Thunder World and feel a little regretful for not having the chance to obtain the treasures of the World within a World within the Thunder World. He never expected that he would enter the World within a World the Shilan World.

This truly is a case of losing one thing but gaining another.

"By the way, help me contact Fengling Yue and the others, and see if they've been dragged into this too," Yang Yu said.

"No problem."

Yang Yu's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe, and he appeared in his home on the Ganwu Universe Continent.

At this moment, Fengling Yue and the other twelve were waiting here.

"Master!" the Fengling Yue Sisters exclaimed excitedly.

"Master, it's so good to see you're alright," Doris and the others exclaimed happily.

If something happens to Yang Yu, these slaves controlled by Bio-chip will also die.

So everyone was both excited and relieved at that moment.

"I'm fine, are you all alright too? Are you all together?" Yang Yu asked in quick succession.

Yang Yu felt gratified to see that his subordinates were genuinely worried about him.

"Master, all twelve of us are safe and sound. We are still in the Dark Forest, but the Time Storm has moved us to another location. Luckily, we were not attacked by Fierce Beast," Fengling Yue replied.

"I'm glad you're all alright. I think I've been swept into an unknown place by Time Storm. It's safe here for now, so don't worry about me. Just continue on the original plan to the Core Region," Yang Yu said.

"However, safety is the most important thing. If we encounter dangers that we can't handle, we can take a detour. I'll come find you after I'm out of trouble."

"Yes, Master!"

"Ling Yin, you are the strongest, remember to protect them," Yang Yu instructed. "And Jarvis, be vigilant while traveling."

"Yes, Master, we will be careful. Please be careful too. We'll be waiting for you to come back."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

After Yang Yu finished speaking, he logged off and focused all his attention on exploring this unknown World within a World.

Clearly, the World within a World in the Shilan World is quite different from that in the Thunder World.

The entrance to the World within a World of Thunder World is open to everyone, but this place seems to require certain conditions to enter.

Otherwise, it's inexplicable that only Yang Yu entered this place, while Fengling Yue and the others who were with him didn't.

At present, the Shilan World within a World seems very mysterious.

"Yang Yu, my large detector has discovered that this world is much smaller than the outside Shilan World, and its gravity is also much lower, only about one-tenth the size of the outside world. The exit is located at the easternmost edge of this world."

Knowing that this was no ordinary moment, Babata voluntarily exited the game space and began to wholeheartedly help Yang Yu analyze the current situation.

"The small area is actually a good thing, as it will save us a lot of time and effort in exploring it."

Yang Yu said with a smile, and at the same time, he took off into the air, his whole body covered by the Moyun Vine, and began to fly at low altitude over this completely unfamiliar continent.

Yes.

According to Babata's exploration, this World within a World is a complete continent with no oceans, only scattered rivers and lakes.

Moreover, based on a rough observation, there are not many living beings in this World within a World, which seems to be intentional on the Shilan World Lord who created this world.

We traveled across mountains, rivers, hills, and grasslands.

During this time, Yang Yu also encountered many Fierce Beast blocking his way. He used his Thunder Blade to kill them all. Among the Fierce Beast he killed was even one that had reached the Universe Level 1, but Yang Yu easily killed it when he unleashed his full power.

Since he was alone, Yang Yu didn't need to worry about Fengling Yue and the others' safety, and could fully unleash his power. So Yang Yu got through the initial exploration period and found that apart from being eerily quiet, there was nothing dangerous here. Later on, he flew very fast, covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers in almost a day.

While flying at high speed, Yang Yu observed the situation below and communicated with Babata in his mind.

"Yang Yu, let's get to the Core Region of this World within a World as quickly as possible. This kind of World within a World, which has never been discovered before, is full of treasures!" Babata said with great joy.

"Even if there are no other treasures left by the deceased World Lord, this world itself is incredibly valuable! There must be a large amount of Universe Crystal deep underground in the Core Region!"

"We just need to mine it, and it will be an amazing fortune, more profitable than Gambling Arena."

"Universe Crystal?" Yang Yu certainly knew about this valuable item. "They're the true hard currency of the universe, a currency usable by any empire and any race, easily exchangeable for Universe Crystal Universe Coin?"

"Haha, that's right!" Babata was overjoyed. "A World within a World that has never been explored before, the amount of Universe Crystal hidden underground will be astronomical. We've really struck it rich this time! Don't take your time flying there. There are no other humans here, let's just pilot our spaceship over there!"
