Willpower Breakthrough, Enslavement Secret Technique

Moke looked at Lin Yuan with a surprised expression and said:

"You are actually able to barely execute the third level of the Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe, Burning Sky?"

"Master, I have only just begun to grasp the basics of the third level. When I was practicing the first and second levels, everything felt very smooth with no bottlenecks, but I have been unable to comprehend this third level," Lin Yuan said.

"No bottlenecks in the first and second levels? It seems your perception and understanding of the Law of Fire Origin have already far surpassed other cultivators at your level. As for the third level..." Moke explained to Lin Yuan.

"The problem lies in the Law of Space Origin. Your perception of the Law of Space Origin is not deep enough, which is why you find it difficult to maintain the flame space."

"Regarding the perception of the Law of Space Origin, there is very little I can guide you on. You should go and ask your teacher."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master," Lin Yuan said.

"The Law of Space Origin?" Lin Yuan thought to himself. Although he had perceived a trace of the Law of Space Origin, his talent in it was actually only average. Coupled with the fact that he had spent all his time on other training recently, his practice of the Law of Space Origin had indeed been neglected.

Afterward, Lin Yuan asked Moke to explain some of the most difficult mysteries of the Law of Fire Origin before returning to the training room in his residence.

In the following days, Lin Yuan drank the poison, continued to temper his will, and meditated on the second level of Ten Thousand Hearts Undying. Before the effects on his soul fully recovered, he interspersed his training with the perception of the Law of Space Origin.

Finally, after Lin Yuan drank the diluted poison for the third time, his willpower intensity broke through.

[Your mental willpower intensity has broken through to the World Lord level. You have received one guaranteed draw opportunity for prizes 0-10. Do you wish to draw?]

"A rare prize guarantee!"

"Draw!" Lin Yuan felt very expectant inside.

...The small ball stopped on the number 3.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the number 3 rare reward, the secret technique Dominion Records. Do you wish to claim it? If not claimed, the prize will be stored in the System Space.]

"Dominion Records, what kind of secret technique is this?"

"Claim!"

Swish!

A stone tablet appeared in Lin Yuan's hand. This stone tablet was extremely sturdy, and there were some strange drawings on it, with each drawing accompanied by a paragraph of text annotations.

Lin Yuan focused his consciousness on the stone tablet, and the information automatically entered his mind.

"A will-based enslavement secret technique?" Lin Yuan understood the information in his consciousness. "After mastering it, one can actually enslave others relying solely on pure willpower intensity? How overbearing!"

Normal enslavement secret techniques require the combined effect of willpower intensity and soul amplitude intensity, coordinated with the techniques of the secret method, to achieve the effect of soul enslavement.

"However, because this secret technique does not rely on soul amplitude to be executed, the number of slaves one can enslave is much smaller. Even if one fully comprehends this secret technique, one can only enslave a maximum of 10 slaves."

"Being able to enslave 10 slaves is already very strong!" Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised.

"The secret technique is divided into three levels. Mastering the first level only allows for the enslavement of one slave, the second level allows for 5 slaves, and the third level allows for 10 slaves. Once mastered, as long as your willpower intensity is one level higher than the opponent's, you can use the secret technique to enslave them," Lin Yuan continued to review the information in his consciousness.

"But, just to practice the first level, the willpower intensity must at least reach the Immortal level?" Lin Yuan was instantly deflated. It seemed there was no way to practice this secret technique for the time being.

He would just have to wait until his mental willpower broke through again in the future.

The time for the Ranking Tournament was drawing closer, and the atmosphere within the Nine Flame Sacred Land was becoming increasingly tense.

In the Virtual Universe Nine Flame Sacred Land Arena, many students went to spar and compete every day. Lin Yuan also occasionally exchanged a few moves with the little fatty Cohen.

However, Lin Yuan did not want to bully the little fatty, so he only used the Thousand Mountain Axe to fight him each time.

After many bouts, Cohen discovered that Lin Yuan's use of the Thousand Mountain Axe was completely different from when they first started; the combination of the Earth and Space laws was more natural, and the power of his secret technique moves was much greater. Later on, during every sparring session, it seemed as if Lin Yuan was deliberately holding back to let him win.

His good brother's speed of progress was simply too fast.

During this period before the Ranking Tournament, Lin Yuan had comprehended 24 of the 72 most difficult mysteries of the Law of Fire Origin. He had also comprehended more than half of the 27 difficult mysteries of the Law of Earth Origin, taking a step further in his perception of the origin laws.

As his perception of the laws deepened, the power of his secret technique moves naturally increased as well.

Regarding the Law of Space Origin, Lin Yuan would consult his teacher, Marquis Yuankun, every so often.

Lin Yuan would also enter the Law Tower to meditate and study the secret patterns on the Golden Leaf of the Kras Ancient Tree.

One year before the Ranking Tournament was held, Lin Yuan finally crossed the threshold of the Law of Space Origin.

[Your perception of the Law of Space Origin has crossed the threshold of the origin laws. You have received one draw opportunity. Do you wish to draw?]

"Draw!"

[Congratulations! You have obtained the number 32 reward, 1% perception of a lower-level origin law. Do you wish to claim it?]

"Do not claim."

"Now is not the time to claim it," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Lin Yuan's current resources were sufficient for the time being. Even if he claimed this 1% perception of a lower-level origin law, it would only allow his Law of Wind or Law of Lightning Origin to cross the threshold, granting him another draw opportunity.

Based on Lin Yuan's experience with draws so far, the value of ordinary rewards was relatively low.

Lin Yuan wanted to wait until he broke through to the Domain Lord or even World Lord level in the future to use it; by then, the prize pool of the wheel should be better than it was now.

"Beep, Master, you have an email."

The crisp voice of the Smart Optical Brain echoed in Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan checked his emails.

"Huh? Teacher wants to see me, but this time it's in the Virtual Universe."

Lin Yuan usually visited his teacher in reality, as his residence was quite close to his teacher's palace.

Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe.

Virtual Universe, Nine Flame Continent, Nine Flame Sacred Land region.

Lin Yuan arrived in front of a villa; this was his teacher's temporary residence in the Virtual Universe while stationed on Red Flame Planet.

Lin Yuan had long since been granted access, so he pushed the door open and entered the house.

Lin Yuan walked into the living room and discovered that besides his teacher, Marquis Yuankun, there was another man present.

This man had long golden hair, wore a magnificent blue robe, looked very young, had faint secret patterns between his brows, and possessed a sharp gaze.

"Teacher." Lin Yuan first bowed to his teacher, Marquis Yuankun.

"Lin Yuan, you're here. Let me introduce you; this is your second senior brother, Karl, titled 'Marquis Golden Sword'."

Marquis Yuankun introduced the man beside him to Lin Yuan.

"So you are the little disciple Teacher recently took in?" Marquis Golden Sword looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.

"Lin Yuan greets Second Senior Brother."

Lin Yuan remained respectful; he had always heard that his teacher had a Marquis Immortal senior brother, and today, he had finally met him.
