Sparring

December 26, 2058, morning.

In the Wilderness Area near Hongning Base City, Yang Wu was sparring with Hong.

Rumble~~

With a deafening roar, the surrounding Tiandi flickered between light and darkness. Hong, who was in the domain, was clad in dark red rattan Vine Armor and held a bright silver spear. The spear itself shimmered with light, its brilliance shifting and changing, making it appear like a divine weapon.

Hong himself moved swiftly, leaving a blur as he lunged at Yang Wu, his gleaming silver spear radiating an imposing aura.

"Good timing!"

Yang Wu laughed heartily, and a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the fiery red spear in his hand, after which his aura became even more astonishing.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two spears, controlled by Yang Wu and Hong, clashed repeatedly before immediately separating.

"Third brother, your skills have improved again!" Hong laughed loudly, "I'm going to get serious now!"

"Brother Hong, just use it if you dare!" Yang Wu laughed back. He wasn't afraid of Hong; he could just activate his domain if necessary.

"World Destroyer!" Hong uttered these two words calmly, and then the area around him darkened.

Boom!

The bright silver spear in Hong's hand suddenly exploded, transforming into countless spear rays like a sky full of stars, all of which thrust towards Yang Wu at once.

"They're actually serious?" Yang Wu's heart tightened.

'World Destroyer' is Hong's strongest move, which perfectly combines his own domain and power. If Yang Wu does not use his domain, it will not be easy for him to easily withstand this move.

Yang Wu lightly touched the ground with his toes, then suddenly took a few steps back, shouting at the same time, "Fire Dragon Transformation!"

Boom!

Suddenly, an astonishing aura emanated from the fiery red spear in Yang Wu's hand. Then, countless fiery red threads appeared on its surface, faintly forming a red fire Fire Dragon.

The spear instantly transformed into a fiery Fire Dragon, its tail swaying slightly as it darted about eerily. Then, the dragon's head opened its massive maw and swallowed all the countless spear beams emitted by Hong.

However, after swallowing the spear's edge, the Fire Dragon's body exploded and vanished.

"This..."

Hong listened, and the spear in his hand vanished instantly. "Third brother, have you mastered a new ultimate move of the 'Fire Dragon Spear'?"

"Exactly!" Yang Wu also stopped, and with a thought, the fiery red spear in his hand disappeared as well. "This is the second form of the Fire Dragon Spear, the Fire Dragon Transformation."

"I've studied it for quite a while, and I've finally mastered the second form of this 'Fire Dragon Spear'!"

The Fire Dragon Spear in Yang Wu's hand was one of the rewards he received from the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins.

More than a year ago, after entering the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, Yang Wu immediately passed the Elite Assessment task within the site.

At the same time, Yang Wu also obtained the complete set of <Basic Martial Arts 289 Forms>, the second-tier Force Weapon 'Fire Dragon Spear', and the secret technique 'Fire Dragon' that comes with the Fire Dragon Spear.

The Fire Dragon Spear is a second-tier Force Weapon with two forms. The second form, 'Fire Dragon Transformation,' is a move that only Star Level expert can unleash. Yang Wu only managed to use it because he possessed a domain.

However, even so, the power of this 'Fire Dragon Transformation' is extraordinary. Therefore, Yang Wu defeated Hong, who had also reached the Domain Second Layer, with just one move.

Over the course of more than a year, Hong and Thunder God both improved significantly by practicing the <Martial Artist Secret Manual 289 Style>.

Of course, Yang Wu only taught them the first part, and their maximum power could only reach 20 times their own strength.

As for the content that followed, Yang Wu obtained it after entering Ruins No. 9. Due to the agreement between him and the Ruins' AI, Yang Wu was unable to continue passing on the secret manual to the two of them.

Therefore, both Hong and Thunder God are currently only exerting about 20 times their own power.

Among them, Thunder God is Planetary Level Seven martial artist who has not yet comprehended a domain; while Hong is Planetary Level Six with Domain Second Layer.

As for Yang Wu, his improvement during this period has been even greater.

Over the past two years, Yang Wu has gone through three simulations. Although he was repeatedly killed by the Golden Horned Beast that appeared later, Yang Wu successfully reached the Planetary Level Six and the Domain Second Layer, and his power output reached 24 times his original strength.

With the addition of the ability to use the 'Fire Dragon Spear', Yang Wu has become the true strongest person on Earth.

"Third brother, you're incredibly lucky to have found a weapon that suits you!" Hong said enviously.

Hong was indeed envious of Yang Wu's possession of a weapon like the 'Fire Dragon Spear'. Moreover, he also used a long spear.

Fortunately, the 'Fire Dragon Spear' was not compatible with his own attributes, and Hong's mental state was extremely strong, so it did not affect him.

"I really don't know what kind of inheritance you received, Third Brother, your strength has improved so quickly!"

Clearly, Hong attributed Yang Wu's improved strength to a mysterious inheritance, but everyone has their own destiny, and Hong wouldn't delve into the details.

Yang Wu smiled but didn't say anything.

If the Time Simulator can be considered a form of inheritance, then Yang Wu has indeed received a remarkable inheritance.

At that moment, Thunder God, who had been watching from the sidelines, also walked over.

"Brother Hong, Third Brother, you guys are too freakish!" Thunder God shouted, "You guys are getting stronger and stronger, you've already left me far behind!"

"Second brother, now you know the difference, right?"

Hong said from the side, "We called you here today so you could see the difference in strength. Now you know why Lao San and I haven't been sparring with you lately? Every time we spar, we have to suppress most of our strength, what's the point?"

"You've already reached the state of oneness with Unity of Heaven and Man. Hurry up and cultivate diligently, and strive to comprehend your domain as soon as possible. Only in this way will you not fall too far behind!"

Hearing Hong's words, Yang Wu couldn't help but chuckle.

The Realm of Domains—a realm that many Universe Level powerhouses have never reached—is now so ordinary in Hong's eyes.

"Brother Hong, please stop! It's one thing for you to keep suppressing me, but the third brother is even more freakish. He's only in his twenties, and he's already stronger than you. I'm losing face so badly!"

Thunder God stroked his chin and continued, "However, after sparring with you all for so long, I've almost reached the edge of the domain, and I think it won't be long before I can fully comprehend it!"

"It's good that you know it's embarrassing!" Hong said with a smile. "However, the third brother is indeed abnormal. Such talent is probably rare even in the universe."

Yang Wu smiled too.

In fact, Yang Wu has spent quite a bit of time in the Simulator; all those experiences add up to several decades.

Moreover, Yang Wu has experienced countless life-or-death crises in the Simulator, and his soul has even burned several times.

So if we're really talking about talent, he's still a bit inferior to Hong and Thunder God!

Of course, if Simulator are considered a talent, then Yang Wu would dare to compete with even Luo Feng.

"Hmm?" Hong's Communication Watch suddenly vibrated.

Hong glanced down at the document and suddenly froze.

After a moment, Hong raised his head and looked at Yang Wu, saying, "Third brother, you were right again!"
