Go to the Genius Tournament?

Su Zhe stood in the spaceship's control room, feeling the surging power within his body, and silently recited in his heart.

"Panel!"

[Name]: Su Zhe

[Fighter Level]: Star Level 1

[Psychic Level]: Star Level 1

[Bloodline]: Blacklight Virus

[Abilities]: Devour, Camouflage, Thermal Sensing, Psychic Power, Acidic Substance, Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame...

[Laws]: Conception of Fire (Perfect), Conception of Thunder (Great Success), Conception of Water (Great Success), Conception of Earth (Minor Success)...

[Items]: Communication Watch...

[Devour Points]: 123498 (100w)

On the panel, the form column that had been present during the Apprentice and Planetary levels had disappeared; now, Su Zhe could change his form entirely according to his own will.

As for the Laws column.

Before devouring those slaves, relying on the talent for the Origin Law of Fire brought by the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame, and the inherently higher comprehension of the human soul on Earth, Su Zhe's Conception of Fire had already reached the level of perfection.

After devouring that batch of slaves.

Apart from the Conception of Fire, Su Zhe had mastered the conceptions of all Eight Lower Origin Laws!

However.

Except for Fire, Thunder, Water, and Earth, the other conceptions could only be considered at the entry level.

After all, the slaves themselves had mediocre talent and struggled to master conceptions; Su Zhe had only managed to piece together those insights by drawing upon their fragmented memories and perceptions.

Now that Su Zhe had reached the Star Level, the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame had advanced to the Star Level as well.

Su Zhe summoned the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame. It had always possessed intelligence, but it had been very weak before, like an embryo in gestation, unable to communicate.

Now, as Su Zhe's strength increased, the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame grew alongside him, and its consciousness finally awakened.

"Wu?"

A confused, whimpering sound came from the flame seed of the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame in Su Zhe's palm.

The Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame took the form of a small kitten. The little black cat curled up docilely on Su Zhe's palm, rubbed against his hand, and then fell asleep on it.

"What is that thing?"

Babata asked, puzzled.

During the year on Earth, it had seen Su Zhe use the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame, but it had never seen the spirit itself.

"Just think of it as something similar to an auxiliary intelligence," Su Zhe said casually, putting the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame away.

Babata let out a soft huff, clearly dissatisfied with this answer, but there was nothing it could do.

The spaceship pierced through the atmosphere, re-entering the blue skies of Earth.

This trip away from Earth had taken only twenty-some days.

"I don't care what your names were before; from now on, you are Number One and Number Two," Su Zhe said to the two Star Level fighters.

The two slaves nodded tremblingly, standing in the corner like quails, not daring to breathe loudly.

The spaceship docked on the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Su Zhe used his Space Ring to store the ship. Before Luo Feng could enter the universe, he would keep the ship for his own use, and return it once Luo Feng had gestured his clone.

"Roar!"

Just as Su Zhe put the ship away, he saw a massive beast emerge from beneath the sea.

It was the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng.

"Su Zhe, your aura..."

Luo Feng swept his Psychic Power over him and was immediately shocked.

In less than a month, Su Zhe's strength had reached the Star Level!

"Had a few small gains."

As Su Zhe spoke, he handed a Consciousness Induction Helmet to Luo Feng. Through this helmet, Luo Feng could enter the Virtual Universe.

Although he hadn't registered a Virtual Universe account and many functions would be unavailable, he could still get a glimpse of the wonders of the universe.

"I'm leaving now."

After handing over the item to Luo Feng, Su Zhe flew off in the direction of Yangzhou City.

"What have you all been doing?"

Luo Feng, who remained where he was, asked Babata, and Babata began to explain, "He..."

Yangzhou City.

When Su Zhe returned to the Su Family villa, Su Yongyi was lying leisurely on a lounge chair in the garden, sipping tea with an open ancient book resting beside him.

Before Su Zhe had left Earth, Su Yongyi had already advanced to the Planetary Level. Relying on the spirits of plants and trees as well as Wood Bud Crystals found on Earth, Su Yongyi's current strength was at the first rank of the Planetary Level.

This time, however, Su Zhe had not brought anything back for him; all the money had been spent on purchasing slaves, leaving nothing for cultivation resources.

Sensing the powerful aura descending from the sky, Su Yongyi was startled at first, but upon seeing Su Zhe's figure, his face immediately broke into a smile.

"Little Zhe! You're back?" Su Yongyi stood up, carefully scrutinizing his son.

Although he could not specifically perceive Su Zhe's level, that aura—though restrained, was still incomparably powerful—was more than ten times stronger than when he had left!

"This trip to the universe must have yielded huge gains!"

"Yes, Dad." Su Zhe revealed a faint smile as he landed in the garden. "Is everything alright here on Earth?"

"Everything is great!" Su Yongyi laughed. "With you backing us up, and that fellow Atkin acting like a mad dog biting anyone who doesn't listen, all parties on Earth are very well-behaved now."

"As for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Iceberg has contacted me a few times. His attitude was very polite, and he was clearly trying to gauge your stance and strength. The Thunder Martial Arts Hall is leaderless and a bit chaotic, but they can't stir up any major trouble for the time being," Su Yongyi said.

Nowadays, all these factions on Earth had been completely subdued, leaving no need for concern.

Su Zhe nodded and handed a helmet to Su Yongyi.

"Dad, this is a Consciousness Induction Helmet for the Virtual Universe."

"You can use this to enter the Virtual Universe. You remember what I told you before, right?"

Su Zhe taught Su Yongyi how to use the helmet. Su Yongyi, full of curiosity, studied the device and soon became immersed in the Virtual Universe.

"Number One, Number Two, from now on, you two will stay by my father's side to protect him. His orders are my orders," Su Zhe instructed the two martial artists who had been following him.

"Yes, Master!"

The two men lowered their heads respectfully. Having witnessed with their own eyes how their colleagues were devoured, and coupled with the presence of the Control Chip, they had no thoughts of resistance whatsoever.

Having temporarily arranged matters for Su Yongyi, and with nothing else on Earth needing immediate attention, Su Zhe prepared to settle down and spend some time organizing his insights.

After devouring so many slaves, a great deal of useless memory had accumulated.

Su Zhe also needed to digest the secret techniques mastered by those slaves and integrate the parts suitable for himself to maximize his strength.

As for Su Yongyi's side.

Su Zhe planned to wait a while longer before continuing to help Su Yongyi improve his strength.

In any case, the Planetary Level granted a lifespan of a thousand years, so this would suffice for now.

He was still hesitating whether or not he should participate in the Genius Tournament.
