Once Silent, Then a Startling Roar

Before Feng Hui's outburst, among this batch of geniuses... only Guge from the Primordial Secret Realm had passed the second layer of the Heavenly Bridge; everyone else had only passed the first layer!

Even Guge from the Primordial Secret Realm had only just broken through the second layer.

He had been the number one in the Genius War, so everyone could accept—even found it only natural—that he passed the second layer.

As for the rest, even the nine from the Taichu Secret Realm had only managed the first layer.

Now, a genius from the Doomsday Secret Realm had come from behind, surpassing even those from the Taichu and Heaven and Earth Secret Realms. How could these arrogant geniuses swallow that?

Especially since Feng Hui had chosen the most complex and difficult Cosmic Chaos Stele. Back then, quite a few geniuses with backgrounds who knew in advance how hard the Cosmic Chaos Stele was had secretly sneered at him.

They thought it was a choice made without self-awareness, not knowing the limits of heaven and earth, and that he'd soon be left far behind by his peers.

But the reality was that they had been thoroughly slapped in the face.

"Impossible!"

"How did this guy improve so fast?"

"We're from the Taichu Secret Realm, and now he's this far ahead of us?"

"There are nearly a hundred of us in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and we were much stronger than him before. How did this happen?"

When he received the email from the warden Bafen, Guge was in his personal training ground in the Primordial Region of the virtual universe, sparring against simulated opponents.

This massive training ground was vast and boundless, stretching hundreds of kilometers in length and width, a world of difference from Feng Hui's cramped training room in the Doomsday Region.

"Hm?" Guge suddenly stopped, waving his hand to dismiss all the simulated opponents.

He looked down at the screen on his arm in confusion; a new email had appeared.

"Oh, an email from the warden Bafen. Has someone else broken through the second layer of the Heavenly Bridge?"

"Is it Ha'en from the Taichu Secret Realm or Kong Ji? Logically, they passed the first layer much slower than me, and the second layer is far harder. I only just passed it myself—there's no way they could break through the second layer now."

Puzzled, Guge growled, "Open the email."

The email unfolded automatically.

"Feng Hui from the Doomsday Secret Realm, challenging the Heavenly Bridge for the first time in six years, has just consecutively passed the first and second layers and is now attempting the third."

Reading the email, the ape-man Guge's eyes went wide.

He had no real impression of Feng Hui from the Doomsday Secret Realm before; he only remembered the name because Feng Hui was the only one who chose the hardest Cosmic Chaos Stele when selecting steles.

But he'd just treated it as a minor anecdote, never taking it seriously.

He never expected that this was the one catching up to him, becoming the second to pass the second layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

Guge suddenly felt a sense of crisis from being overtaken.

While the news of Feng Hui's sudden outburst left the group of geniuses, who had been silently competing and striving, dumbfounded, Feng Hui had already begun his battle on the third layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

At the end of the third layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

"I choose..." Feng Hui looked at the cloud of mist before him, "Warrior!"

The massive cloud of mist at the end of the Heavenly Bridge, just like the first two layers, condensed into a black-clad figure as black liquid flew out.

This black-clad figure also held a dark golden longblade, the only visible eye beneath the mask locking onto Feng Hui: "Want to pass the third layer?"

"Show me your real skill."

The Cosmic Heavenly Bridge tests one's comprehension of both time and space laws simultaneously.

Arriving at the third layer, Feng Hui dared not rely solely on the Law of Space to fight; he had to bring out his true skill in cultivating both time and space.

"Alright, as you wish." Feng Hui smiled confidently.

After years of bitter cultivation, he was now eager to test what he had learned through battle, to verify his progress.

The opponents from the first and second layers had been too weak, far from forcing Feng Hui to go all out.

He urgently needed a worthy opponent to fight.

He also wanted to see how far his years of hard work could take him.

Feng Hui erupted with full force. Space twisted, turning into countless blade lights; the flow of time also became chaotic, blurring the blade lights and making them untraceable.

The black-clad figure raised his blade to defend. The two warblades clashed violently, the air seeming to tear open cracks, exploding and bursting apart.

On the Heavenly Bridge, Feng Hui's figure sometimes shuttled between heaven and earth, sometimes leaped everywhere, dazzling the eye.

Move after move, their fight was so fierce, but it was clear that the black-clad figure was being suppressed, only able to parry, with no strength to counterattack.

"Time to end this." Feng Hui growled.

One warblade, carrying the boundless ferocity to split mountains and sever peaks, descended with earth-shattering might, slashing down.

The dazzling blade light not only pierced through space but even subtly affected time.

The black-clad figure failed to parry in time, was struck by the blade, and his body exploded with a bang!

Third layer of the Heavenly Bridge, passed!

"Analyzing the essence of the laws might take time and demand high comprehension, but the power... is indeed far stronger than those who use the laws superficially."

Feng Hui revealed a faint smile, looking into the distance. The mist ahead had dissipated, revealing the fourth layer of the Heavenly Bridge, leading straight upward.

"Boom——"

In the distance high above, Feng Hui could clearly see terrifying, blade-like gray currents enveloping the Heavenly Bridge.

The first three layers were shrouded in mist and clouds, but this fourth layer had transformed into a howling gale.

A dark, fierce wind roared, engulfing the bridge deck, and at its end stood a tornado.

"I'll take the warrior path," Feng Hui said directly.

"Boom!"

From the center of the tornado, a figure suddenly flew out. Clad in silver-white battle armor, stepping in silver-white war boots, with a dark-gold war blade strapped to his back, his eyes behind the silver-white mask gazed at Feng Hui from afar.

The Silver-clad Man said calmly, "I will use only one move. If you cannot block it, you lose."

Feng Hui's expression turned grave. With his understanding of the first profundity of the essence of the Time Law and the Law of Space, he had some confidence in clearing the third layer. But tackling the fourth... he had no certainty at all.

After all, the difficulty of the Heavenly Bridge soared with each layer. The gap between the third and fourth was immense.

"Take this!"

The Silver-clad Man drew the war blade from his back, and a profound blade-light swept forth.

"So fast!"

Feng Hui was startled. He had no time to dodge and barely managed to raise his blade, but the Silver-clad Man's blade-light traced an arcane curve and sliced cleanly across Feng Hui's neck.

Challenge of the fourth layer—failure!

At the island's center in the Heavenly Bridge dimension.

The Wind King watched the floating screen before him.

Though Feng Hui had lost on the fourth layer, it did not diminish his astonishing performance earlier.

"Good lad!"

The Wind King sighed with a smile. "In just six years of training in Chaos City, he's already glimpsed a trace of the essence of both the Law of Space and the Time Law."

"An unexpected find. This Feng Hui is the surprise I've discovered on this trip. He's definitely stronger than Guge!"

"He hasn't let the Venerable down, nor wasted the Venerable's earlier help."
