Tsk~

The sound of War Blade slicing through flesh rang out. In the training ground of the member's manor in the Virtual Universe's Primal Secret Region Member, the simulated Li Jing killed him with another strike.

Having been resurrected, Luo Feng lay on the ground, panting heavily.

It still didn't work. Even after cultivating in Chaos City for 30 years, he still couldn't block even a casual strike from Li Jing.

The person he simulated was Li Jing from 20 years ago.

Now that 20 years have passed in Chaos City, he can't even imagine how strong Li Jing has become.

Twenty years ago, after Li Jing successfully crossed 15 levels of the Universe Heavenly Bridge, while he was genuinely happy for Li Jing, a hint of ambition also grew in his heart.

Previously, Li Jing had no idea of the limits, which made him feel somewhat desperate at one point.

It's like encountering a boss in a video game whose health bar never shows up, no matter what you do.

But after Li Jing failed to cross the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge, he finally saw Li Jing's limit.

It's like seeing a boss with a health bar showing; although it's still so strong that it seems impossible to challenge, at least you see a glimmer of hope.

For the next 20 years, Luo Feng did nothing but cultivate daily.

He would often have the Virtual Universe System simulate Li Jing's experience during his time breaking through the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge in the training grounds, and then fight against him.

But even now, he can't block a single casual strike from Li Jing.

This left Luo Feng feeling somewhat frustrated.

Can he surpass Li Jing in his lifetime?

Babata floated over at that moment, grabbed Luo Feng's ear, and said with a fierce expression, "Luo Feng, how many times have I told you, don't compare yourself to that freak Li Jing."

"He is a super genius who even the Universe Country Lord are amazed by."

"Although you possessed the Golden Horned Beast and even conceived Moshas Clone, you are still far inferior to Li Jing."

"Compared to that kind of pervert, what can you gain besides being hurt for nothing?"

"But Li Jing and I are both Earthling, and his opportunities are far less than mine, even though I possessed the Golden Horned Beast, yet he has managed to get to where he is today."

"Li Jing can do it, I believe I can too!"

Luo Feng looked serious, his tone filled with determination.

Unlike Li Jing, who appeared invincible from the very beginning, he was not the kind of super genius that was widely regarded as promising from the start of his cultivation.

But now, those geniuses and strongmen who he once looked up to have all been left behind by him.

He believed that Li Jing's invincibility was only temporary, and that one day he would be able to surpass Li Jing.

Looking at Luo Feng's serious face, Babata sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

How come it didn't notice Luo Feng's stubbornness before?

However, he is, after all, the sole heir of the Yunmo Star Lineage, and now he has the hope of cultivating to a level stronger than the Demon Hand King, the enemy of his former master, Hu Yanbo.

Perhaps one day I will be able to avenge my old master Hu Yanbo.

Even if Luo Feng was stubborn, it could only endure it.

So Babata changed his strategy. "Luo Feng, even if you want to surpass Li Jing, your method is wrong."

Setting Li Jing, who challenges the 15th floor of the Heavenly Bridge, as an opponent is utterly useless except for repeatedly being brutally defeated.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Let's start by setting our opponent as Li Jing during the third level of the seventh Trial Tower of the Genius Battle. Li Jing at the Star Level, who hasn't shown his full strength yet, would be a suitable opponent for you right now."

"Only by fighting back and forth can you gain enough experience to grow faster."

"And don't forget, you possessed the Golden Horned Beast; at the World Lord Level, you can create another clone."

"This is almost your only hope of surpassing Li Jing."

"Li Jing is a pure human being, and can only have one body. His talent is already fixed."

"If you can find materials for Special Lifeform with extraordinary talent at the World Lord Level, you can use it as a blueprint to create a third avatar."

"Perhaps then he will be able to acquire talent comparable to or even surpassing Li Jing's."

"That's your real strength!"

Babata's advice struck Luo Feng like a hammer blow, leaving him momentarily dazed.

Looking back over the past 20 years, what exactly has he been doing?

After learning about Li Jing's current limits, he went on a crazy spree, constantly challenging Li Jing to his strongest state.

It serves no purpose other than to subject oneself to repeated setbacks.

Why is this happening?

Deep down, he didn't want to admit that he was worse than Li Jing, who was even less capable than him back then.

He was unwilling to take on challenges that were more suitable for him and would allow him to gain experience and make progress—this was the incomplete version of Li Jing from the Genius Battle era.

It's as if by constantly challenging Li Jing to his full potential, he makes it seem like he's not much worse than Li Jing.

But what's the point of such self-deception?

Babata is right, he really is a bit obsessed!

When facing Li Jing, her usual composure vanished completely.

This was because Li Jing was once just a minor Quasi-Martial Artist on Earth, and he needed the help of him, who was the strongest person on Earth at the time.

But now, he has achieved far more than his predecessor, causing him to lose his composure.

Now, I've calmed down, forgotten Li Jing's past identity, and only remembered that he is a genius who appears only once every hundred million epochs in the Human Race. I'll maintain my usual absolute composure and catch up step by step.

This is exactly what he needs to do right now!

Moreover, surpassing Li Jing is not entirely hopeless for him.

Perhaps not now, but if a Special Life Clone of extraordinary power were to be nurtured at the World Lord Level, he would not be weaker than Li Jing.

Combining the talents of his Earthling Main Body and his three clones, he refused to believe he was inferior to Li Jing, who had no clones and was simply a pure human.

Having thought everything through, Luo Feng smiled and said to Babata, "Babata, you're right, we can't go on like this!"

"Set up the Genius Battle period for me, with Li Jing, who is on the 3rd floor of the 7th Trial Tower, as my opponent."

If Li Jing, at the Universe Level, can't defeat him, then surely he can't defeat Li Jing, at the Star Level, who hasn't even unleashed his full Law Comprehension?

Seeing that Luo Feng's stubbornness had finally changed, Babata revealed his signature mischievous smile.

This is the Luo Feng it knows!

Just then, Babata, Luo Feng's Virtual Universe assistant, suddenly received a mass email from Guardian Bafen of the Tongtian Bridge Plane: "Luo Feng, just now, Bolan passed through the 8th level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge."

Upon hearing the news, Luo Feng simply nodded, indicating that he understood.

Because of Li Jing's advance warning, he did not squander his points, but instead purchased the Drifting Blood Secret Technique from the beginning, and later received dedicated instruction from his teacher, True Yan King.

They now possess the strength to conquer the 6th level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.

While the news of Bolan clearing the 8th level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge was astonishing, it paled in comparison to the ultimate boss, Li Jing, whom he aspired to surpass.

Come on, he's just a minor monster at best.

It didn't affect his mindset much.

World Lord Level obtains his final clone, that's when he'll unleash his full power!
