"Beyond all external resources, the most important thing for a true powerhouse is to possess a Heart of the Strong!"

"Although the Time Simulator exists, allowing me to stay safely at home and wait for the simulation count to refresh, venturing into the Wilderness Area will allow me to grow stronger much faster!"

If Yang Wu were to stay in Jiangnan Base City, he would naturally be very safe, but when the next simulation began, he would only be able to start from the perspective of a rookie martial artist.

However, if Yang Wu puts in the effort himself, he will begin his next simulation as a member of the Phantom Squad, allowing him to follow this top-tier team into the Wilderness Area.

Furthermore, regarding World Destroyer, if Yang Wu did not purchase it in reality, the version of himself in the simulation would likely still choose a less difficult manual to practice.

Yang Wu gazed calmly ahead: "A heart like a blade, a will as one; the path of the strong should be one that severs all fear."

"Journeying through the world, holding a heart of reverence, while performing fearless deeds!"

"A heart as icy as a mirror, unstained by a single speck of dust."

"A heart like a blade, capable of severing all obstacles!"

At this moment, Yang Wu finally reached an epiphany, attaining the first realm of Heart Cultivation.

Ever since he transmigrated and learned he was in the Swallowed Star world, Yang Wu had aspired to become a powerhouse who could traverse the universe.

However, due to his poor talent, he eventually had to abandon this goal.

But just as he was filled with despair and decided to give up, the Time Simulator in his mind finally appeared.

It must be said that the appearance of the Time Simulator in his mind became Yang Wu's lifeline.

After the simulator appeared, Yang Wu went from a low-level Warrior Level martial artist to a somewhat famous genius, was recruited in advance by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, and even joined the Phantom Squad, which ranked in the top three of the entire Jiangnan Base City.

Although these experiences did not make Yang Wu lose his head, they did cause him to lose his drive for relentless progress.

"Since the Time Simulator exists, I can just simulate slowly; why bother risking my life in the Wilderness Area?"

Before this moment, Yang Wu would certainly have been very hesitant.

But the moment Yang Wu possessed the Heart of the Strong, his choices changed.

Even with a miraculous cheat like the Time Simulator, he would never again stop his own efforts.

Perhaps the speed of Yang Wu's progress could not compare to the speed at which Luo Feng would cheat in the future, and perhaps Yang Wu's efforts might not yield any results at all, but at the very least, it would give him a higher starting point when each simulation began.

That was enough!

This was the Heart of the Strong that belonged to Yang Wu!

At this moment, Zhou Zheng, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed a change in Yang Wu.

He had initially thought Yang Wu had suffered some internal injury during the battle, but after observing closely, he found that Yang Wu's body had not changed at all.

"Strange! Could my eyes be playing tricks on me?" Zhou Zheng wondered, unable to figure out what was wrong.

But Yang Wu suddenly stood up.

The power of the first realm of Heart Cultivation could indeed transform a person.

After all, this was a realm that the vast majority of World Lord Level powerhouses had never even comprehended.

All the hesitation Yang Wu felt before, and the lingering effects of experiencing life-and-death crises...

Were all swept away at this moment!

Yang Wu had become completely calm; it was a tranquility he had never experienced before.

His heart was still, like stagnant water!

At this moment, Yang Wu suddenly felt an urge to practice his spear techniques!

Thinking it, he did it!

Yang Wu moved!

"Yang Wu, what are you doing?" Before Zhou Zheng, who was also on guard duty, could stop him, Yang Wu had already picked up the Pojun Spear and walked alone to the open area in the center of the service zone.

Whoosh!

In this star-studded summer night, Yang Wu moved, beginning to practice the thirteen spear techniques recorded in the first volume of World Destroyer.

Seeing Yang Wu stop to practice his spear techniques, Zhou Zheng, who was about to stop him, suddenly paused; he wanted to see what on earth Yang Wu was up to!

Practicing his spear techniques with an unprecedented state of mind, every thrust Yang Wu made brought with it an incomparable sense of comfort.

One thrust, two thrusts...

The cold glint of the Pojun Spear's tip flashed continuously, resembling scattered stars.

After the transformation of his state of mind, Yang Wu had no distracting thoughts, throwing himself heart and soul into the practice of his spear techniques.

Zhou Zheng, watching from the side, only felt that Yang Wu's spear techniques were becoming faster and more fluid...

"Oh no!"

As Yang Wu's thrusting speed suddenly broke the sound barrier, Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, fearing that he would wake up the captain and the others, and immediately prepared to step forward to stop him.

"Wait a moment!"

The voice of the captain, Chu Tian, suddenly came from inside the house.

In fact, as early as when Yang Wu began practicing his spear, Chu Tian and the others resting in the room had already noticed. After all, even if the sound Yang Wu made was faint, with the vigilance of Chu Tian and his team, it was enough to be detected.

However, because the sound was relatively soft and they had Yang Wu and Zhou Zheng standing guard, Chu Tian and the others did not pay much attention to it.

But the moment Yang Wu's spear speed broke the sound barrier, the resulting sonic boom truly startled Chu Tian and the others.

After being startled, Chu Tian's Spiritual Force instantly spread out, immediately detecting Yang Wu practicing his spear and Zhou Zheng intending to stop him.

Although Chu Tian did not yet know exactly what was happening, since they were already awake, he naturally would not let Zhou Zheng go and interrupt Yang Wu.

"What is going on?" Chu Tian walked over to Zhou Zheng with a few teammates and asked.

"Captain, I don't know what happened either!"

Zhou Zheng gave a bitter smile and said, "Originally, I was sitting at the entrance with Yang Wu, responsible for keeping watch, but Yang Wu suddenly stood up, ran to the open space in the center, and started practicing his spear technique. He didn't even answer me when I asked him!"

"Should I go and call Yang Wu over?" Zheng Tao asked tentatively.

"Wait until he finishes practicing this set of spear techniques!" After saying this, Chu Tian suddenly added, "Yang Wu is practicing the World Destroyer spear technique!"

As one of the top War General Level martial artists just below the War God Level, Chu Tian had naturally seen other experts use the World Destroyer spear technique.

Of course, without the specific move guidance from the secret manual, even if one watched others perform it countless times, it would be impossible to learn these moves.

"The ultimate spear technique, World Destroyer?"

"The world's number one attack method?"

Zhou Zheng and the others clearly knew the terrifying nature of the World Destroyer spear technique, and they all sighed in amazement at this moment.

Just then, the Pojun Spear in the hands of Yang Wu, who was practicing in the field, suddenly paused, and then thrust out violently!

Instantly, a cold glint flashed, and there was a faint, strange ripple in mid-air. Like a bolt of lightning, the speed of the Pojun Spear suddenly accelerated, and the sonic boom in the air intensified abruptly.

"Bang!"

The tip of the Pojun Spear slammed into a bluestone not far away, shattering it into pieces!

"Intermediate War General!" Zheng Tao and the others were all shocked.

"No!" Chu Tian, who had higher insight, shook his head and said, "It's an Epiphany! Yang Wu has grasped the force-exerting technique within World Destroyer!"

"An Epiphany?"

Zhou Zheng and the others knew very well what an Epiphany represented; it was synonymous with a true genius!

"Huh?"

Yang Wu, standing in the field, was also stunned.

"I've mastered the first level of World Destroyer? It was actually this simple?"

The first level of the World Destroyer spear technique was complete!

He hadn't managed to master that A-grade Blazing Spear Art even after years in the Simulator, yet in reality, in less than two months, he had actually mastered the ultimate spear technique, World Destroyer?
