His third brother had little talent for cultivation. Now over nine hundred years old, he was still at Stellar Level One.
He received no extra resources from the family, only the guaranteed minimum.
But his third brother refused to admit defeat and still cultivated diligently. Hearing that Chu Yuan had broken through to Stellar Level One and received a large sum of money from their father, he had come to borrow some.
Chu Yuan did not refuse and immediately transferred twenty billion Black Dragon Coins to his third brother.
Less than three seconds after the money arrived, a video call request came through.
Chu Yuan answered, and a handsome man appeared on the virtual screen. It was none other than his third brother, Ge'er Leinuo.
In terms of cultivation talent, his third brother was the worst among the brothers.
But in terms of looks, his third brother was the most handsome of them all.
"Fourth Brother, why did you transfer so much money to me?"
Ge'er sounded a little anxious. "I only need two billion Black Dragon Coins. I've transferred the rest back to you."
Although Ge'er wanted resources, he had no desire to hold back his younger brother's cultivation.
If their father and two older brothers learned that he had taken so much money from his younger brother, how could he have the face to remain in the Leinuo Family?
Chu Yuan smiled unconcernedly. "It's fine, Third Brother. I made a small fortune not long ago-three hundred billion Black Dragon Coins. Along with the hundred billion Father gave me, I'm practically dripping with money now. But since you don't need it, I'll take it back."
"No, no, no! I was actually joking just now."
Ge'er hurriedly stopped him and said with a perfectly serious expression, "Since you're being so generous, Fourth Brother, I won't stand on ceremony."
"I have no way to repay you. How about I introduce you to a few rich women? They're all nobles from the Purple Radiance Empire. They're a little older, but..."
"No need, Third Brother. Keep them for yourself."
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth twitched. Before his third brother could finish, he ended the call.
With beauties gathering around him like clouds and his pockets dripping with money, did he need to hook up with rich women?
Relying on that face of his, his third brother had hooked up with plenty of rich women on the Purple Radiance Empire's royal Imperial Capital Star, obtaining quite a few cultivation resources from them.
Unfortunately, his third brother's aptitude was simply too poor. No matter how many resources he poured in, they made no difference.
"I'll just help you out in the future."
Once the day came when Chu Yuan could openly bring out all kinds of treasures, he could easily force his third brother up to Universe Level.
Leaving home, Chu Yuan went to the Killing Field and entered the Decisive Battle Space.
"Long Yuan's online!"
A startled cry rang out in the lobby, instantly drawing a large crowd's attention.
"Seriously? Hurry, let's take a look."
"It's true! Long Yuan really is online."
"He was offline for a year. I thought he'd died."
"Quick, send a challenge! It'll be too late if you wait."
"Long Yuan defeated me a year ago. Now that I've trained hard for a year, I'll make sure he knows how strong I am."
"Strong, my ass. Against Long Yuan, you'll only get insta-killed."
Everyone discussed it animatedly, and many sent Long Yuan challenges.
Inside the Decisive Battle Space, Chu Yuan looked at the challenge list, the corners of his mouth lifting.
"Wow, so many people. Looks like they all want to settle the score."
Feiluan spoke while looking at the challenge list.
Chu Yuan said teasingly, "This time, they'll learn the meaning of despair!"
Chu Yuan accepted everyone's challenges-all 172 of them.
Whoosh! Light gathered ahead, and a short man only 1.5 meters tall appeared out of thin air, carrying a three-meter-long spiked club on his shoulder.
"Long Yuan, do you still remember me, Wolf Demon? This time, I'll definitely..."
Wolf Demon began talking tough the moment he entered, but before he could finish, Chu Yuan had already charged up to him.
The blade's gleam swept forward with the aggression of fire, severing his neck in a single slash.
The battle ended in less than two seconds.
"Next!"
The second challenger was a spirit reader standing on a flying shuttle that could fire 372 small flying swords at once.
"Long Yuan, my name is Feng Yao. You..."
Whoosh!
Once again, before his opponent could finish, Chu Yuan cut off his head with a single slash.
"I'm not interested in knowing who you are."
His indifferent voice rang out as his opponent's body dissolved into specks of light and vanished. Once again, it had taken less than two seconds.
Soon, the third opponent entered and was insta-killed with one slash.
The fourth opponent was insta-killed with one slash.
The fifth, the sixth...
Chu Yuan slaughtered frenziedly. Not a single opponent could withstand one slash from him, and not a single person lasted three seconds.
Every one of those who had challenged him had an eight-star or even nine-star rating. They were all outstanding among those at Star Level 9.
Yet against Chu Yuan, they were as weak as noobs.
In the lobby, many people watched Long Yuan's battles.
By the time they saw Long Yuan insta-kill his fifty-sixth opponent with one slash, they had already gone numb.
"Long Yuan's strength is even more terrifying now. It's only been a year."
"Yeah, he hasn't even used his domain, and he's already insta-killed every challenger."
"Even Twin Blade Demon couldn't withstand one slash from him."
Everyone looked a short distance away, where a burly man around 2.8 meters tall sat on a sofa. His head was lowered, his eyes vacant, his expression that of someone questioning his life.
He was Twin Blade Demon. A year ago, he had been able to fight Long Yuan to a standstill, forcing Long Yuan to use a domain move to kill him.
But a year later, when he faced Long Yuan again, he was killed before he could even make out his movements. The gap had become too vast to measure.
"Long Yuan's too strong. No matter who he faces, he insta-kills them with one slash. Is there nobody who can force him to use a second move?"
"How could he improve so much in just one year?"
None of them could understand.
For someone at Star Level, a year passed in the blink of an eye.
After Chu Yuan killed his ninety-sixth opponent, an opponent dressed in black, with blood-red skin and four eyes, appeared before him.
Whoosh!
Chu Yuan charged forward and slashed straight at his head, only for him to block it with a sword.
Blade and sword collided, locked in a stalemate as sparks flew.
The four-eyed man barked coldly, "Long Yuan, don't lump me in with that trash from before. Hurry up and use your domain, or you're destined to lose!"
The four-eyed man suddenly exerted his strength, pushing the Fire Prison Blade aside with his longsword and forcing Chu Yuan back.
At the same time, lightning sprang into existence around him. Interweaving arcs formed a Lightning Domain that bore down on Chu Yuan.
"Third-Level Thunder Domain!"
Chu Yuan's gaze sharpened. "No wonder you're so arrogant!"
Seeing this, Chu Yuan no longer held back his strength. He grabbed with his large hand, and flames sprang from empty space, forming a Flame Domain that slammed fiercely into the Lightning Domain.
Rumble!
The Lightning Domain and Flame Domain collided head-on. Lightning raged wildly, flames surged in mighty waves, and the two domains traded attacks before suddenly swelling and exploding with a thunderous crash.
The energy shock wave spread in all directions. The ground shattered inch by inch, and huge rocks were hurled into the air, leaving an enormous crater more than several hundred meters across.
Fierce winds howled. The four-eyed man narrowed his eyes, a trace of disbelief flashing through them. "Your Fire Domain actually broke through to the third level? You only comprehended a domain a year ago."
Crossing two domain levels in one year-did it have to be this absurd?
