Hongning Base City, Yushang Residential Community.
After graduating from the Elite Training Camp, Luo Yuan had bought a luxury villa in Hongning Base City.
Inside his villa, he took off the Consciousness Sensor Helmet. He had just spent some time enjoying himself in the War God Palace, where War Gods eager to befriend him treated him to food, drinks, and entertainment. He turned none of them down.
Unfortunately, Luo Yuan could not collect attributes in this advanced virtual space. Moreover, anything in its shop that caught his eye was outrageously expensive, with prices listed directly in "stars." One star was worth roughly 100 billion in Huaxia Currency. He had spent all his savings just to buy Psychic Master Basics, and he could only read it inside the virtual space.
Roughly half of Psychic Master Basics provided a detailed introduction to the first method, "Remote Object Control to Kill Enemies." The remaining half mainly described the second method, "Consciousness Sea Infiltration Attack," while the third method, "Beast Taming," received the least coverage. Luo Yuan benefited greatly from the book and gained a basic grounding in using spiritual force.
Luo Yuan could now just barely control twenty SS-Grade Flying Daggers simultaneously. These SS-Rank weapons had been gifts from the higher-ups of the Limitless Martial Hall. As for psychic attacks, there were eighteen well-known secret techniques, including Dream Mirage, Phantom Demon Eye, Psychic Spike, and Soul Shaking... Against opponents whose spiritual force was three levels weaker than his, he could kill them with a glare. Truly formidable.
Next came his breakthrough to the Planetary Level. Ever since Luo Yuan had learned to collect attributes with his spiritual force, he had kept it active constantly, sending his collection efficiency soaring.
The Elite Training Camp had plenty of students and instructors with War God strength, including quite a few Advanced War Gods. Every one of them trained relentlessly, as though pumped full of stimulants. After collecting attributes there for nearly a month, Luo Yuan was ready to break through. But when he discovered that the attributes dropped in the Elite Training Camp were contributing less and less to his growth, he could only sigh helplessly.
Luo Yuan took a thorough bath, then went down to his villa's basement. Today was the day he would break through to the Planetary Level. He felt that he could barely suppress his cultivation anymore. Collecting attributes was that overpowering-everything simply fell into place.
Luo Yuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, utterly motionless.
Inside his sea of consciousness.
With a rushing sound, the once-calm surface formed a whirlpool. The water spun wildly, forming swirling rings.
The whirlpool abruptly expanded, and the water immediately thinned considerably, becoming like a transparent curtain of water.
Whoosh-it contracted!
The expanded, transparent curtain of swirling water suddenly contracted, instantly turning into an enormous spinning sphere of water! The sphere was translucent, with faint strands of strange light flickering within it.
Expansion, contraction!
Expansion again, contraction again!
The "water" of his spiritual force expanded and contracted like a beating heart, as though it had gained a life of its own. Within that peculiar rhythm, it expanded until it was as thin as a cicada's wing, then contracted into a crystal-clear sphere.
A completely transparent, enormous sphere of water kept spinning, like a planet rotating on its axis. No mist dispersed from it, nor did its shape distort, and it continued to grow. The water on its surface began to solidify, forming countless transparent, pyramid-shaped crystals. The densely packed crystals joined together into a planet! An invisible, peculiar fluctuation spread continuously from this sphere of light.
Within the boundless sea of consciousness, that lone sphere of light kept rotating. An invisible force radiated outward, permeating Luo Yuan's entire body and extending beyond it. His bones, marrow, meridians, muscles, fascia, skin, and everything else underwent an incredible transformation. The genes within his body rapidly broke down and recombined. This was a metamorphosis of life itself!
Luo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. An overwhelming aura erupted from him, shaking cracks into the basement's superalloy walls.
"So this is a Planetary Level Psychic Master. It really is incredible. Next comes my breakthrough to the Planetary Level as a Warrior!" Luo Yuan murmured.
As Luo Yuan released the restraints on his body, he felt himself heating up. Every cell seemed to boil. The unabsorbed genetic origin energy lying dormant in his cells began gathering like droplets of water. The droplets merged into streams, then brooks and rivers. A current of heat rose from throughout his body, swirling and gathering until it finally converged at the dantian in his abdomen.
Boom!
There was one fundamental difference between Psychic Masters and Warriors: a Psychic Master's source lay in the "sea of consciousness" within the head, while a Warrior's source lay in the "dantian" within the abdomen.
Inside his dantian.
As though Pangu were splitting heaven and earth, the previously nonexistent dantian burst open in an instant! The swirling genetic origin energy spun faster, expanding and contracting without pause. With each expansion and contraction, its volume shrank! Luo Yuan felt his very consciousness shudder, and his body trembled with it!
A miniature planet appeared within the vast dantian! Unlike the miniature planet in his sea of consciousness, which had been transparent at birth, the miniature planet in his dantian was blue! Its surface consisted of countless six-sided crystals, with innumerable blue arcs of lightning flashing and interweaving across them, brimming with terrifying destructive power.
The blue miniature planet kept rotating, emitting waves of strange fluctuations!
"Genetic origin energy!"
With a thought from Luo Yuan, a wisp of blue origin energy instantly flew out of his dantian and flowed into his body.
Crack, crack, crack...
Snap, crackle, pop...
In an instant, every part of Luo Yuan's body-his bones, marrow, skin, membranes, meridians, and internal organs-began changing rapidly. This transformation was even more dramatic than when his spiritual force had reached the Planetary Level moments earlier! Luo Yuan felt as though his bones had been shattered and then reconstructed.
Luo Yuan actually rose into the air, hovering without support. Blue arcs of lightning appeared around him, flashing and interweaving. Blue lightning flickered in his pupils, and even his hair turned ice blue. He looked like a god of thunder descending into the world...
Luo Yuan did not know exactly what special ability his genetic origin energy had granted him. He only knew that throughout the universe, special abilities were grouped into eight categories: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.
"Open the attribute panel." Luo Yuan issued the command with a thought.
Name: Luo Yuan Cultivation level: Planetary Level One Attack power: Planetary Level One, 30% (Psychic Master) Planetary Level One, 30% (genetic origin energy) Amplification: spiritual force, 20 times; genetic origin energy, 4.5 times Movement technique attainment: artistic conception level Saber technique attainment: artistic conception level Cultivation methods: Five Hearts Facing the Sky Method, guidance technique "Nine-Layered Hunyuan" (fifth layer) Skills: Lightning Control (beginner), Overlord Blade (Planetary Level, first stage), movement technique "Flowing Light" (fifth layer), saber technique "Thunder Blade" (fifth layer) Notes: Spiritual force can be used to collect attribute bubbles directly or to scout. Both currently have a range of 100,000 meters.
Looking at the completely transformed attribute panel, Luo Yuan needed a moment to adjust. So the ability his genetic origin energy had granted him was Lightning Control. This special ability was incredibly powerful. With his imagination, he could develop several skills from it.
