Law Comprehension and Awakening

As Huang Wuye sent a wisp of consciousness into the Virtual Universe, he reviewed what he had gained during this time.

First, his physical strength had improved. During this period, Huang Wuye's martial artist level had reached Cosmic Level Third Order, and his spiritual force level had reached Cosmic Level Fifth Order.

After training for some time, he could now exert eighty times his strength. He believed it wouldn't be long before he reached the perfect level of one hundred times.

Then there were the laws. With the help of the Fire Truth Interpretation and the Drifting Blood manual, Huang Wuye was making rapid progress.

Having only recently begun analyzing the laws, Huang Wuye felt that his progress was astonishingly fast. So far, he had comprehended eighteen of the 108 mysteries of the Law of Fire and twelve of the 108 mysteries of the Law of Space. Although he hadn't fully grasped them, he had understood most of each.

Huang Wuye was quite satisfied with this. It might seem as if he had only comprehended a dozen or so mysteries of each law, but those were more than ten mysteries whose complete essence he had analyzed.

Huang Wuye's Law Comprehension had already been no weaker than that of some World Lords. Now, although he was devoting most of his effort to analyzing the essence of the laws, the help he received from the Fire Truth Interpretation and Drifting Blood had allowed him to draw connections between related concepts, taking his progress in organizing the laws a great leap forward.

At present, Huang Wuye felt that his Law Comprehension was no weaker than that of some powerful World Lord Level experts.

Of course, this progress hadn't come solely from the Fire Truth Interpretation and the Drifting Blood manual.

His powerful talent, granted by his tenfold genes, and the exceptional comprehension that came from his soul being far stronger than his current level could account for were also indispensable.

And his genes and soul were still growing stronger.

Yes, his genes were still growing stronger, thanks to his second Innate Secret Technique, Life Analysis and Modification.

Huang Wuye had discovered that after the first analysis and modification, subsequent rounds usually didn't require him to fall asleep.

All he had to do was place an organism's genetic material in his talent space. He would then gradually absorb the knowledge gained from analyzing it and undergo modification himself. All he needed to do was enjoy the results.

Of course, this would occupy a considerable portion of his consciousness, and the genetic modification would be slow, working gradually and imperceptibly.

In a year, it could probably increase his genes by about onefold. After all the improvement during this time, his current genetic strength was around tenfold.

Naturally, Huang Wuye could also choose to fall asleep. That way, his genetic strength would rise rapidly.

Although this would let him improve his genes quickly, his Law Comprehension would temporarily stagnate.

Besides, Huang Wuye had only just arrived in this world and wasn't used to long periods of seclusion.

Nor did circumstances allow it. He still had plenty to do. For one thing, he wasn't accustomed to sleeping for such a long time.

Most importantly, wasn't it wonderful to enjoy the daily feeling of his genes ascending? Anyone who hadn't experienced it could never understand the pleasure that rose from deep within the soul as the genes were refined.

In short, the speed of Huang Wuye's comprehension of the Origin Laws was like an accelerating train, growing faster and faster.

As his Law Comprehension deepened, his spear techniques naturally changed as well.

His Spear Canon now contained many more variations than when he had first created it.

For one thing, as his understanding of the mysteries of the laws deepened, he added several moves to his Spear Canon.

This made his spear techniques more complete and well-rounded.

The Spear Canon originally consisted of five secret techniques: Prairie Fire, Heaven Leveling, Void Shadow, Space Shattering Break, and Void Death Calamity.

Now, he had added several variations. Prairie Fire had gained three moves: the first, Endless Life; the second, Avici; and the third, Barren Earth.

Endless Life and Barren Earth both applied Huang Wuye's understanding of the burning properties of fire.

These three moves were the result of his further analysis and application of the life-giving nature of fire.

Void Shadow had gained two moves: the first, Close as the Horizon, and the second, Horizon at Hand.

Close as the Horizon was an offensive secret technique. When combined with his domain, it would cause an enemy to appear wherever Huang Wuye wanted, no matter where they fled. Of course, this wouldn't work if they broke through his domain or were simply too powerful.

The second move, Horizon at Hand, was a movement secret technique. Unlike Instant Roar, it was better suited to traveling short distances and repositioning. A single step could carry him a thousand li, and he could use it repeatedly.

Instant Roar was different. When Huang Wuye used it, there was a brief pause before he could use it again. Though the pause was short, battles at his level were decided in an instant.

That was why he had always been caught off guard when fighting Ye Wuhen. Instant Roar was only suitable as a life-saving secret technique.

These new secret techniques were Huang Wuye's current distillation of his understanding of the Law of Fire and the Law of Space.

Huang Wuye now felt that he was truly powerful.

Ordinary high-level Domain Lord experts were no match for him. However, Giant Wood Planet was a special place, and there were still some monstrously powerful creatures he couldn't afford to provoke.

Just as Huang Wuye finished reviewing his gains, a low growl rang out.

"Roar!"

At some point, Dragon Owl had opened its previously half-closed eyes.

It seemed not to have recovered from the battle and let out a roar instinctively.

Huang Wuye turned around and saw a pair of enormous eyes. His own body, just over ten meters tall, looked tiny before them. It was Dragon Owl. It had woken up, and the huge wound on its chest had nearly healed.

"This looks a little strange. I'll make myself bigger." Huang Wuye felt something was off, so he used the transformation technique he had obtained from the Demon-Slaying Clan.

His body suddenly grew taller, reaching more than a thousand meters.

"Mm, is this my current limit?" Huang Wuye looked himself over. At least he was no longer so small—at least not compared with Dragon Owl.

It seemed there was a limit to how much this transformation could enlarge him, probably because of the constraints of his genes.

Dragon Owl was startled when the little man before it suddenly grew, but otherwise showed no reaction.

After all, he still wasn't much compared to it. But feeling the faint ache in its chest, Dragon Owl began to turn its massive head.

After a long while, it finally remembered. Hadn't it been injured while competing with those two clans for the holy fruit? Why was it here? And what was this strange little thing?

At the thought of those two clans, a flash of rage crossed its enormous eyes. But it didn't take any further action. It could tell that the liquid was helping its injuries.

Dragon Owl wasn't very intelligent—about as clever as an eight-year-old child—but it had some common sense and could still weigh the pros and cons.

Huang Wuye looked at the enormous creature before him, feeling a little troubled. It seemed more intelligent than the other monsters on Giant Wood Planet, but it was still less intelligent than the monsters on Blue Star.

The monsters on Giant Wood Planet were all larger and stronger, but their intelligence was far too low.

Perhaps everything came at a price. They had powerful bodies, but had lost their intelligence in exchange.

At that thought, Huang Wuye remembered the few Life Fruits. It seemed that if he wanted to tame this creature, he would have to give it one.

"I wonder how effective the Life Fruit is. But I'll have to wait until this big fellow has fully recovered." Huang Wuye looked at Dragon Owl, which had closed its eyes again, feeling eager to find out.
