"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
The air was filled with the faint sound of blades cutting through the void, occasionally interspersed with the light patter of footsteps.
Following the sound, one could see a figure flickering and shifting across a spacious clearing.
Looking closely, it was a youth with a youthful face, standing over three meters tall. Long, fiery red hair cascaded down to his waist, and he was clad in black battle armor. His features were handsome, truly a fine appearance. The slightly bulging muscles on his body gave him no lack of masculine vigor. He was truly a spirited young man.
Opposite him, a series of black shadows were flying toward him at extreme speed.
Upon closer inspection, they were actually pitch-black long arrows with a metallic luster.
Those long shafts came rushing from ten thousand meters away. In the blink of an eye, they were already beside the youth. Like specters in the night, they were completely silent.
At the most perilous moment, the youth remained unhurried. His footsteps were light, and as his body dodged left and right, he remained completely unscathed.
He looked relaxed, performing a perfect tableau alongside the thousands of arrow clusters.
Before he knew it, the rain of arrows formed by the clusters had ceased without a sound.
The youth also stopped his movements, feeling the powerful strength surging within his body. After catching his breath, a smile couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.
"Ding, congratulations, Prince Wu Ye. You have perfectly passed the movement technique training. You have now completed all basic tutorials and may proceed to the training camp for the next stage of advanced instruction." A cold, electronic voice rang out.
Hearing this, Huang Wuye couldn't help but be overjoyed. Even this usually icy voice sounded somewhat pleasant.
He couldn't help it; he was just too happy. Even with his mental age of nearly forty—an "uncle"—he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Huang Wuye was originally just an ordinary person among the masses on Blue Star. Heaven had pity, and some great deity must have opened their eyes, allowing him to escape the life of a corporate slave and transmigrate into the world of Swallowed Star.
Regarding this transmigration, Huang Wuye was in total agreement. In his own words, a mundane world simply couldn't contain him.
Therefore, ever since arriving in this magnificent high-martial world, he had been full of anticipation.
In this life, Huang Wuye was born into extraordinary circumstances, belonging to the Aragami Clan, one of the ten peak races of humanity.
The Aragami Clan looked basically the same as the humans of Blue Star, but their physical stature was much larger.
As a member of the Aragami Clan, he was naturally exceptional, and Huang Wuye was even more impressive; he was born at the Planetary level. He was satisfied, but reality was truly a bit sorrowful.
Huang Wuye really hadn't expected that even after being reborn, he would still have to go through schooling. It was as if he had just left the ivory tower only to have to do it all over again.
Originally, that wouldn't have been a big deal, and the Virtual Universe could have provided some entertainment.
But this Aragami Clan was just not right! According to the clan rules, children were strictly forbidden from entering the Virtual Universe until they had completed their basic education. Yes! The reason was to prevent addiction.
As a former top student and a newly minted Planetary-level powerhouse, Huang Wuye had been very confident at first. It was just basic childhood education, right? But reality still gave him a hard slap in the face.
Who would have thought the Aragami Clan had so much knowledge for children to learn? Things like Aragami Clan Cultivation Basics, Universal Basic Language, Mentalist Cultivation Explained, Domains and Laws, and Body Power Explained were fine; after all, they were cultivation knowledge, nothing to be ashamed of!
But what the hell was Aragami Clan History? Heaven have mercy, the Aragami Clan had existed since the beginning of the universe, with billions upon billions of years of existence recorded within it. Besides, why learn this stuff when there was virtual AI?
However, after Huang Wuye's multiple protests were violently suppressed, he had no choice but to bow to the evil. He could only say, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't bully a young man for being poor!" Sooner or later, he would make those old fogies remember the legendary deeds of this future strongest in the universe.
Thus, after sixteen years of hard work, he, Huang Wuye, had finally obtained the true scriptures—or rather, achieved success.
Huang Wuye could proudly say that he was the fastest in the history of the Aragami Clan to complete these basic tutorials. There was no one else; he could be said to have made history.
Looking back now, it was true that every ancient race was not so simple. It wasn't just their powerful racial talents, but also their excellent training systems.
Although these sixteen years had only barely produced a peak Planetary-level warrior and a minor Star-level mentalist, Huang Wuye could proudly say that he now had a clear understanding of the essence of cultivation.
Lost in thought, Huang Wuye took flight and headed in a certain direction. Before long, he arrived in front of a massive palace. This palace was incredibly huge; the gate alone was a hundred meters high and several hundred meters long. The entire hall was covered in mysterious patterns and stood thousands of meters tall.
There were two squads of guards in front of the palace. These guards were all several dozen meters tall, with varying appearances, though all were humanoid, with scales on their arms. These guards were all from the vassal races of the Aragami Clan and were the personal guards of Huang Wuye's mother.
Seeing Huang Wuye, they all bowed slightly to show their respect.
"Oh! Let me see, isn't this little Wuye! Oh, your basic tutorials are actually finished? That is truly incredible!" A figure suddenly appeared in the void before the palace. A palm-sized, exquisite, elf-like little person spoke.
This elf-like creature was an intelligent life form, the smart assistant to Huang Wuye's mother.
Huang Wuye curled his lips and couldn't help but say, "Vinia, you don't even look at who this genius is. That was easy!"
When the elf Vinia heard this, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips: "Oh, oh, oh! I wonder who it was that used to complain every single day? Who was it? Let me think!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Wuye rolled his eyes and decisively changed the subject: "Vinia, I've finished my tutorials, you should give me my smart assistant now!"
Vinia pouted and turned to walk into the palace: "Little Wuye, you are so boring! Forget it, this lady is merciful and won't hold it against you. Follow me, your little monkey is with me. The Matriarch is still in seclusion, so I'll look after it for now."
Huang Wuye followed Vinia into the hall to wait.
Before long, Vinia returned, and with a wave of her hand, a golden figure appeared out of thin air.
Looking closely, it was a small monkey, half a meter tall with golden fur. Seeing Huang Wuye, its eyes lit up, and it jumped onto his shoulder. Its eyes emitted a golden light, and a ring of light was placed on Huang Wuye's hand.
At the same time, a voice came through: "Master, hello, I am your virtual life assistant."
Huang Wuye was slightly stunned, then pleasantly surprised. This was an unexpected turn of events. He hadn't expected to receive an intelligent life form directly; he had to say, it was truly a pleasant surprise.
Vinia looked at his expression and couldn't help but say, "This was prepared for you by your grandfather, and this little guy has already fused with a Mechanical Heart. It is truly lucky!"
Huang Wuye realized it immediately after hearing this.
"Do you have a name?"
"Replying to Master, no."
Huang Wuye pondered for a moment, recalling scenes from his past life, and then decisively said, "In that case, you shall be called Dasheng!"
"Understood, Master. Dasheng is at your service."
