Bright Moon District.
Zhou Ze gazed up at the starry sky, his eyes unfocused. He no longer needed to sit in meditation deliberately; whether walking, sitting, or lying down, he could cultivate Genetic Energy or Psychic Power.
Luo Feng thought he was lazy, but that was only what Zhou Ze seemed like on the surface.
The Great Way was simple. Zhou Ze had long since stopped clinging to appearances and formalities. Every moment was cultivation.
"Small things can be changed, but major events can't be reversed..."
"Luo Feng, what will you choose when the time comes?"
Fog Island.
At that moment, Luo Feng was facing off against Mo Handerson.
Suddenly, they both noticed that the Earth Dragon underground was swelling all over. A faint white glow shone from its body, and a rich, rice-like fragrance filled the air. The Earth Dragon was clearly the source.
The Earth Dragon must have eaten the white crystal, Luo Feng thought.
Before long, the Earth Dragon, which was more than fifty meters long, threw back its head and roared!
Hiss!
A Unicorn sprouted from its forehead, and its body, which had been glowing white, rapidly swelled.
"A Unicorn!"
"King-level!"
Luo Feng and Mo Handerson exclaimed in shock.
Even as he reacted in surprise, Luo Feng remembered to report it to Hong. "Hall Master, Hall Master, this is Luo Feng."
"Luo Feng, what is it?" Hong's voice remained cool and calm.
Luo Feng quickly told Hong what he had just witnessed.
"Wait where you are. I'll be there right away." A rare note of urgency entered Hong's voice.
As a powerhouse who had risen rapidly during the Great Nirvana Period, Hong had explored many ruins and obtained a wealth of information about the universe.
From Luo Feng's description, he could make a good guess at what kind of treasure this was.
What he lacked most was precisely Muya Crystals, which could provide energy.
The appearance of Muya Crystals drove the world's powerhouses into a frenzy, and a brutal struggle for them began.
They had no idea that, deep underground, a tiny virtual demon was checking their Brain Domain Width inside an ancient, unassuming spaceship.
No one noticed the tests—not even Hong or Thunder God.
"This one's an 8..."
"This one's a 5..."
"Hmm, this one's a 16. So low—even lower than Luo Feng..."
Babata carefully examined the Brain Domain Width of the War God Levels and Councilors fighting over the Muya Crystals.
"These Earthlings are so untalented. There are so many War God Levels and Planetary-level warriors, yet Luo Feng is the only one whose score exceeds 20..."
Babata propped up her chin as if holding auditions. But batch after batch went by, and she remained dissatisfied. Their quality was just too low.
She had no idea why this little place was so strange. It was one thing for a tiny planet to produce two peerless geniuses who had Domains despite being only Planetary-level. But it had also produced an against-all-odds talent with Second Layer Domain while still below Planetary-level.
And it seemed that one of those two Planetary-level warriors with a Domain had managed to comprehend it because of this extraordinary talent who had a Domain at the Apprentice-level.
Of course, the great Demon Babata refused to admit it. Even she couldn't make a Planetary-level warrior develop a Domain.
How could someone comprehend a Domain after just a little guidance? It all came down to the warrior's own insight. They had to rely on themselves, not anyone else!
"It looks like Luo Feng is the only one I can choose. He's the tallest among the short ones."
If the Fallen Ink Star Ship hadn't been damaged and stranded her in the universe, the great Demon Babata wouldn't have given these sorry specimens a second glance.
"Luo Feng is the most suitable, and he's also closest to Zhou Ze..."
"Argh..." Babata threw a tantrum, roaring furiously. "Why does Zhou Ze have such incredible insight, yet such poor talent as a Spiritual Psychic? If his Brain Domain Width were even average for a Spiritual Psychic, I'd choose him."
Babata was helpless. Under normal circumstances, someone with Zhou Ze's Brain Domain Width shouldn't have been able to become a Spiritual Psychic at all.
Even now that he had become one, his potential was pitifully low.
She didn't dare take the risk. There was only one Inheritance Soul Seal. If she wasted it, the Fallen Ink Star would disappear into the river of time forever.
Deep underground on Fog Island.
Luo Feng was searching for Muya Crystals. As a Planetary-level Spiritual Psychic, he could spread out his Psychic Power, letting him search far faster than most of the other Councilors.
He had already found five Muya Crystals, one of which no one else had discovered.
"There are too many people. I wonder if I can find another one."
Luo Feng remained hopeful.
He still didn't know exactly what effect Muya Crystals had on human warriors, but so many people were going crazy over them—even the Hall Master and Thunder God took them extremely seriously. That alone spoke volumes.
"Hmm, there really is one here!" Luo Feng's face brightened.
Suddenly, a fiery-red figure rushed toward the Muya Crystal. Luo Feng's expression tightened.
"That's mine!"
Luo Feng rushed toward the Muya Crystal and, with a thought, used his Psychic Power to sweep it into his backpack. Psychic Power really was convenient.
"Luo Feng!" Fa'er glared at him, furious and wary.
"Fa'er?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, then smiled mockingly. "Fa'er, you chased me all over Fog Island back then!"
"I won't bully you with Psychic Power, either..." Luo Feng drew the custom Blood Shadow Battle Blade from his back and fixed his gaze on Fa'er.
"Luo Feng, you're too arrogant!" Fa'er was seething, too.
Just moments ago, she had discovered a Muya Crystal only to have it snatched away. Now, after finally finding another, she had run into Luo Feng.
She had planned to try her luck and take it from him, giving up if she couldn't. She hadn't expected Luo Feng to insult her.
"I don't need Psychic Power to deal with you," Luo Feng said evenly.
Influenced by Zhou Ze, Luo Feng had never given up close-combat fighting, even after his Psychic Power reached Planetary-level.
The fight was about to begin!
As soon as they clashed, Fa'er realized something was wrong.
Clang, clang!
In an instant, they exchanged a hundred blows. Even going all out, Fa'er couldn't get the better of Luo Feng.
How can he be this strong? His body is only War God Level, yet he's every bit as powerful as I am. How high is his Force Emission? Fa'er couldn't believe it.
Fa'er's expression was grim. Luo Feng's physical fighting ability alone was every bit as good as hers, let alone his power as a Spiritual Psychic. He could even kill Planetary-level warriors wearing Black God Suits!
Only Hong and Thunder God had records of killing Planetary-level warriors wearing Black God Suits.
It's his teacher, Zhou Ze! Fa'er couldn't help thinking of Luo Feng's teacher, the man with the mysterious charisma.
As the Councilor who had attracted the world's attention more than anyone else, Luo Feng had reached Beyond War God-level strength before the age of twenty.
No one could help being interested in his background.
His public records were easy to look up and took little effort to find.
Because she couldn't catch up with Luo Feng, Fa'er had been so furious that she investigated him afterward.
And she wasn't the only one. Most War God Levels and Councilors around the world knew something about Luo Feng's rise. It was no secret.
Damn it! How can he do this? His War God Level physique lets him match me just through Force Emission!
His blade technique and movement are far superior to mine, too. If this goes on, I'm going to lose...
Fa'er touched the little braid at the back of her head that Luo Feng had accidentally cut off—it had boosted her attack speed. Annoyed and helpless, she lost the will to fight.
"Boom!"
After one more clash, Fa'er used the impact from Luo Feng's strike to propel herself in the opposite direction and flee.
Luo Feng didn't bother chasing her.
Tenfold Force Emission! My Force Emission is second only to my teacher's. That lets me match an average Councilor in strength despite having only a War God Level physique!
Luo Feng thought happily, With the distribution ratio, I've just managed to get another one. The teacher should be able to use it!
