Planetary Level

"She learned this from you, didn't she?" Qin Lin looked at him with a half-smile.

Xu Qing felt a little guilty. "No way, I'm not that shameless. I'm a man, upright and honorable."

Qin Lin just stared at him without saying a word. She didn't know Xu Qing well; he was quirky and mischievous, and no one could outwit him.

"Ugh, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed," Xu Qing said, giving up and making her way away.

Qin Lin watched him slip into the room, shook her head with a smile, then went to the balcony and dialed Zhao Ruo's video call.

They talked for almost two hours before ending.

Back in the room, Qin Lin saw that Xu Qing was pretending to be asleep, and without saying a word, she tickled him.

"Stop scratching," Xu Qing immediately stopped him.

"Are you still pretending to be asleep?" Qin Lin grabbed his hand.

Xu Qing chuckled, "No, I won't."

"I've talked to Zhao Ruo. She's a nice girl with a cheerful personality, and I like her quite a bit," Qin Lin said with a smile.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Ruo's appearance isn't particularly beautiful; she's even less attractive than Xu Qing, let alone Qin Lin.

At least Xu Qing didn't fall for the other person just because she was pretty; it was because she had a nice personality.

Therefore, Qin Lin had nothing to worry about. She was willing to accept Zhao Ruo, who was a very energetic girl, and they would definitely get along well.

"Well, she still needs to train in the Elite Training Camp for more than two years, but she should be back when she goes on vacation in January or February next year," Xu Qing thought for a moment.

Qin Lin shook her head. "She said she'll graduate right after next year."

"Is my senior going to graduate a year early?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.

"Yes, she said she didn't want to be separated from her boyfriend for so long, and she also said that her strength is no worse than that of a beginner War God, and she already meets the graduation requirements," Qin Lin smiled.

She could understand Zhao Ruo's feelings.

"What's the big deal? I just visit her at the Elite Training Camp occasionally," Xu Qing said casually.

Qin Lin flicked his nose, "So, Xiao Qing, you still don't understand girls' feelings. By the way, Zhao Ruo said she's already told her family she has a boyfriend. You'll have to go to her family's house with her then."

"My senior sister's family is from Su City. Oh right, I forgot to ask about her family," Xu Qing realized belatedly.

"Don't worry, I asked around for you. Zhao Ruo only has a grandmother; her parents are gone. I didn't ask for the specific reason; she'll tell you herself," Qin Lin said.

"Okay, I understand," Xu Qing nodded.

"Okay, time to sleep."

For the next period of time, Xu Qing stayed at home, preparing to break through to the Planetary Level before going to the seas to dominate.

Half a month later, Xu Qing sat cross-legged in his home gym, his genetic Origin Energy and Spiritual Force were boiling, as if they were about to overflow.

At this moment, Xu Qing involuntarily entered a state of Mind's Eye, and countless colors emerged, all surging towards him, enveloping him like a painting.

Suddenly, the genetic Origin Energy within his body and the Spiritual Force in his mind surged dramatically.

Within the dantian, including the sea of consciousness, a ball of light was born, flickering and constantly expanding and contracting, as if entering a very urgent state.

First, a violent explosion occurred in the sea of consciousness, and a Miniature Planet was born, crystal clear, like a work of art.

It was as if the stars in the sky had descended into the sea of consciousness, slowly rotating.

In an instant, Xu Qing's entire body underwent a transformation, from the inside out, experiencing a leap in his life level.

The medicinal power that had been absorbed from the heart of willow trees that were ten thousand and a thousand years old continued to take effect, transforming into a warm current that swept through the entire body.

Cracks appeared on his body, and trickles of dark red blood oozed out.

Miniature Planet was born in his sea of consciousness, Xu Qing's body floated up, sitting cross-legged in the void, like a celestial being.

Immediately afterward, an even more violent explosion rang out, originating from Xu Qing's dantian.

A blazing light shot up, multicolored, and a powerful burst of genetic Origin Energy shook Xu Qing's body, causing the cracks to widen continuously.

Click, click!

Dark red blood spurted out, mixed with grayish-white bone fragments, and fell to the ground.

This scene was actually quite eerie.

However, the cracks were also continuously repaired under the effect of the medicine, and his physical condition improved rapidly.

Xu Qing made breakthroughs in both Warrior and Spirit Controller, entering the Planetary Level. The resulting transformation was violent and comprehensive, no less than a complete rebirth.

Time ticked by, and more than an hour had passed by the time Xu Qing completed this breakthrough and transformation.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged in mid-air like a statue, his skin dull and lifeless, covered with wrinkles and cracks, as was his hair; he looked as if he had aged prematurely.

Suddenly, beads of bright red blood spilled from the corners of Xu Qing's eyes and slid down.

But before it even dripped onto the ground, it vanished with the wind, as if it were an illusion.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out, and Xu Qing's body cracked open, followed by a snap as countless fragments scattered.

A brand new Xu Qing appeared, with a slender and strong physique, a healthy bronze color, and his whole body seemed to glow, as if he had been polished.

"Ouch, my eyes hurt so much, my eyes hurt so much!" The next second, Xu Qing cried out, covering her eyes and rolling around on the floor.

Xu Qing didn't know what was going on either. He had already broken through, but his eyes still hurt. Could it be that the breakthrough wasn't complete yet?

After a while, the pain subsided.

He tried to open his eyes and saw many colorful lines that overlapped with reality.

"Oh no, is there something wrong with my eyes?" Xu Qing rubbed his eyes, but found they were still the same.

"Wait, something's not right, these colors?" Xu Qing calmed down and quickly realized something.

He went into the bathroom to look in the mirror, only to find himself naked. Embarrassed, he said, "I don't have that kind of fetish."

So Xu Qing quickly went back to her room to get dressed, and then went back to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Only after getting close to the mirror did Xu Qing realize that her eyes were a little different; there was a color ring around her pupils, and upon closer inspection, it was present on both sides.

"Colored circles?" Xu Qing's eyes widened, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that there was a colored circle in each of her eyes.

Colorful circles encircled the pupils, like a colorful ring.

Furthermore, the colored rings on the left and right eyes are different.

The left ring is five-colored with five points of light, while the right ring is three-colored with three points of light.

"It looks like colored contact lenses, but you can't tell unless you look closely. Could this be the ability I gained after breaking through to the Planetary Level?" Xu Qing could feel power surging within these specks of light.

"Hear my command, fire, thunder, wind..." Xu Qing shouted, waving his palm forward, but nothing happened.

Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed. "Ahem, I must have opened it wrong. No rush, I'll sweep the floor first."

Upon arriving at the gym, Xu Qing looked at the bloodstains and bone fragments on the floor and his lips twitched. "Why does this look like a mass slaughterhouse?" he thought.

We need to clean this up quickly, otherwise when Qin Lin comes back and sees it, she might think he's been doing something here.

After tidying up, Xu Qing went to the balcony and calmed down to reflect on his breakthrough.

Now, Xu Qing knows that he has become a Planetary Level Warrior and also Planetary Level Spirit Controller.

Like the Apprentice Level, the Planetary Level also has nine ranks. Xu Qing has just broken through, so he can be said to be at the first rank of the Planetary Level.

However, thanks to the essence of that part of the willow tree heart, he did not just break through to the first level of the Planetary Level, but reached the peak of the first level, and was not far from the second level of the Planetary Level.

"What exactly is my ability?" Xu Qing sensed carefully.

Every Warrior gains an ability after breaking through to the Planetary Level; it could be fire, lightning, or light.

For example, Hong represents light, Thor represents lightning, and some people represent wind, ice, and so on.

Different Warrior will acquire different abilities, and even those with the same attributes will have differences.

"Also, why do my eyes seem to have Mind's Eye?" Xu Qing muttered to himself.

The Mind's Eye" is a state of being, how could it be related to the eyes? Could it be that during a breakthrough, the power of the Mind's Eye radiated to the eyes?

Xu Qing looked inward at his dantian, and inside, just like in his sea of consciousness, there was a Miniature Planet, colorful, like a rainbow ball.

"Strange, why is this planet different from the one in my sea of consciousness? It has so many colors!" Xu Qing was very surprised.

The planets in the sea of consciousness are ordinary light blue, similar to ordinary stars, while the planets in the dantian are colorful and very dazzling.

"It looks good, but it doesn't suit my manly image at all," Xu Qing thought, "It's so colorful."

Then, Xu Qing continued to focus on sensing the colorful planet.

With a thought, the colorful planet glowed, and rays of light spread into his body.

This was genetic Origin Energy, rapidly integrating into his entire body. Xu Qing's eyes shone with iridescent light, and even with his eyes closed, the iridescent light shone through the gaps.

At that moment, the space around Xu Qing froze, as if he had become the master of this space.

At the same time, tiny specks of colorful light appeared in the void, surrounding him.

If Hong were here, he would be able to see that this is a domain.

The level that transcends the Conception Realm is called a domain.

On Earth, apart from Hong, no one else has reached this level; even Thor hasn't comprehended the domain yet.

Now, Xu Qing has succeeded, and he has his own field.

Brush!

Xu Qing opened his eyes, which shone with colorful light. He looked around at everything, where countless colorful points of light were twinkling in the darkness.

He felt completely in control; whoever entered this area would have their life or death in his hands.

"What an amazing feeling," Xu Qing murmured. He could control everything in this area.

Those colorful specks of light contained different auras, Xu Qing knew very well that this was the power of nature.

In Xu Qing's eyes, these colorful dots of light extended into lines, crisscrossing and covering the entire world, ultimately creating nature itself.

He, on the other hand, can control the nature of this small area, and the power of nature will be at his disposal.

"Just like a pure land, I've decided to call you Natural Pure Land," Xu Qing said, unaware of the concept of a domain, which is why he gave it a name.

As the Natural Pure Land dissipated, the colorful lights in the void disappeared, and the colorful light in Xu Qing's eyes also vanished.

Xu Qing now understands that his newfound ability lies in his eyes, and he has even materialized his Mind's Eye" and combined it with his new ability.

Therefore, he can now see the flow of various natural forces with the naked eye without any burden on his body or mind.

Most importantly, he can also harness various natural forces in nature, which is the core of his ability.

In other words, Xu Qing can now control all natural forces, such as lightning, hurricanes, light, fire, and rain.

Sizzle!

Xu Qing raised his hands; purple lightning was gathering in his left hand, while light was converging in his right.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xu Qing found it incredibly interesting; generating electricity and light with bare hands was completely beyond the realm of science.

What he didn't notice was that when he condensed lightning and light, two of the three points of light in the ring of light in his right eye lit up, one purple and one pale gold.

Then, with a thought, Xu Qing transformed the lightning and light in his hand into flames and water.

Correspondingly, the two points of light in Xu Qing's right eye dimmed, while two of the five points of light in his left eye lit up, one red and one light blue.

This reaction is like that of a light bulb, only it's not very obvious.

"Wow, this is so much fun!" Xu Qing was having a blast, watching the lights flash, generate electricity, ignite fire, spray water, and blow wind...

After playing for a while, Xu Qing summarized that he could control eight kinds of natural forces, each with different characteristics, or even eight different abilities.

"These eight natural forces—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light—do they represent the entire natural world?" Xu Qing pondered.

He couldn't figure out this problem in a short time.

"In my left eye, the five points of light represent the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, while the three points of light in my right eye represent wind, thunder, and light. The five elements are mutually generating and mutually restraining, so it's not surprising that they are together. But what about wind, thunder, and light?"

"Could the relationship between the three natural forces of wind, thunder, and light also be like this? This doesn't seem quite right," Xu Qing said, looking in the mirror at the colorful rings in his eyes.

The numbers three on one side and five on the other are not a coincidence.

"Ugh, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, I don't want to think about it anymore, it gives me a headache. I should deal with this Mind's Eye issue first and see if I can shut it down," Xu Qing shook his head vigorously.

After Mind's Eye ability to see into his eyes materialized, he now sees everything on two levels: one is the world as seen by ordinary naked eyes, and the other is a world full of colorful lines.

The overlap of the two worlds made Xu Qing feel very uncomfortable, as if there was a strong sense of disconnect between them.

Moreover, he felt that his Mind's Eye had evolved, and what he saw was no longer just ink-wash colors, but rather more concrete colors and lines.

These colored lines are a manifestation and flow of the forces of nature.

"Phew, thank goodness I can turn it off, otherwise it feels weird," Xu Qing fumbled around for a bit and finally managed to turn off the Mind's Eye.

Activating it is also very simple; just stimulate the genetic Origin Energy and unleash the ability.

In other words, it will be activated simultaneously during battle.
