Fifth-Level Domain, Hong and Thunder God's Shock
Just as when he had used the Junior Blade Technique Talent and Junior Movement Technique Talent,
Li Jing felt himself enveloped by a profoundly mysterious aura.
After the aura dissipated, he seemed somehow different, like a prisoner freed from his shackles.
He instinctively took out the Fire Meteor Wheel and attached his mental power to it to control it.
No matter how practiced he had been before, there had always been some awkwardness to it.
Now, however, the Fire Meteor Wheel was like an extension of Li Jing's mental power, as though it had always been a part of it. Controlling it felt as natural as a fish in water.
With a thought from Li Jing, the 36 diamond-shaped fire blades that made up the Fire Meteor Wheel instantly separated, then reassembled into a constantly spinning Meteor Drill.
Beneath its unremarkable exterior lay unparalleled heat and penetrating power.
The second form of the Fire Meteor Wheel was complete!
A flash of delight crossed Li Jing's eyes. The Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent really was extraordinary!
When he left Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9, his Mental Power Amplitude had been sixteenfold.
He had not deliberately trained it afterward, so his Mental Power Amplitude had only risen automatically to twenty-twofold when he advanced to the Planetary Level.
But the minimum requirement for the Fire Meteor Wheel's second form, Meteor Break, was a thirtyfold Mental Power Amplitude!
Yet with the help of the Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent, he had ignored that strict requirement and forced his way into mastering the Fire Meteor Wheel's second form ahead of time.
Didn't that mean he might even be able, with the help of the Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent, to act when his Law Comprehension still fell short?
He could forcibly activate the secret law inscriptions engraved on a mental weapon and unleash combat power beyond what his own Law Comprehension permitted.
And that was only the benefit the Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent offered in actual combat.
Aside from combat, this talent would also help Li Jing better learn, master, and even create mental weapon secret techniques.
Taken a step further, it could even aid his comprehension of domains and laws.
After all, most truly high-level mental weapon secret techniques involved Law Comprehension, and many involved more than just ordinary Lower Laws.
The Yan Shen Armament Luo Feng had used, for example, was one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller and involved the Gold-Space laws.
Comprehending laws by studying mental weapon control techniques was, in a sense, an alternative path to the Dao.
After integrating the Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent, Li Jing raised his assessment of himself another notch.
Though his comprehension and aptitude still fell short, with the help of his various talents, he was now a genuine star sector-level genius, and a relatively outstanding one at that.
Even Feng Lun, whom Luo Feng encountered in the Genius Battle, paled considerably in comparison to him.
His overall performance should have been comparable to the first tier of geniuses from the Ganwu Universe Country in Luo Feng's Genius Battle, excluding Luo Feng and Savage Rong Jun.
With a thought, the 36 diamond-shaped fire blades that had remained combined as the Meteor Drill separated and reassembled once more, returning to the Fire Meteor Wheel's original form.
After putting it back in his Space Ring, Li Jing used the limited UR from the previous card pool: the Fire Domain Direct Access Card.
As he used the Fire Domain Direct Access Card, countless insights into the Fire Domain surged into his mind. Li Jing hurriedly held his breath and concentrated, doing his utmost to absorb them.
An unknown amount of time passed before Li Jing finally digested them, a glint flashing in his eyes.
Although he had already comprehended the Fire Domain before using the Direct Access Card, it still brought him considerable benefits.
He had only just entered the First-Level Domain, but propelled by these insights, he climbed another two steps and entered the Third-Stage Domain, saving himself a great deal of effort for nothing.
Looking around the hotel suite he was in, Li Jing abandoned the idea of testing the effects of his Triple Domain here.
He would try it out in the Virtual Universe's Killing Field and Decisive Battle Space when he had time.
For now, though, he would first use up the Realm Experience Cards and Comprehension-Type Experience Cards that made up the vast majority of his draws!
As he used the countless Realm Experience Cards, Li Jing's Spirit Reader and warrior realms, both at Planetary Level Second Stage, rose in tandem.
Planetary Level Three!
Planetary Level Five!
Planetary Level Seven!
Planetary Level Nine!
Even after both had entered Planetary Level Nine, Li Jing had yet to use up all the Realm Experience Cards in his possession; he still had some left.
If he pressed on in one go, he would surely break through to the Star Level!
But Li Jing stopped adding points.
Breaking straight through to the Star Level would certainly feel good, but once he did, the card pool would inevitably be upgraded.
Then the Intelligent Life in the current card pool, which had the same database as Babata, would be refreshed away.
If he missed this chance, there was no telling when he would get another opportunity to obtain it.
For the sake of this Intelligent Life alone, Li Jing needed to remain at Planetary Level Nine a little longer.
What was more, the price of draws from the card pool would inevitably rise after he broke through to the Star Level.
As for just how much it would rise, Li Jing did not yet know.
If the price rose to an absurd level that Li Jing could hardly afford, he would be better off staying at the Planetary Level and making a few more draws from the card pool.
He had been able to continue drawing cards without restraint after breaking through to the Planetary Level thanks to the resources he had saved up from the Apprentice Level card pool.
After he came to Qiu Long Star and sold them, they had provided him with ample starting capital.
Otherwise, he would already be racking his brains over the nine-million-Black-Dragon-Coin price of a ten-draw from the Planetary Level card pool.
Having tasted the benefits, Li Jing would not easily break through to the Star Level before fleecing the Planetary Level card pool for all it was worth.
At the very least, he needed to save up a nest egg and max out all the aptitude and comprehension the Planetary Level card pool could add, advancing in the most perfect state possible.
His level could not be raised for the time being because of the card pool, so the Realm Experience Cards would have to sit idle for now.
But there were no such restrictions on the Comprehension-Type Experience Cards!
Since he had no other, better secret techniques on hand, Li Jing used every Comprehension-Type Experience Card he had drawn on his domain.
As he used the experience cards, countless insights concerning domains constantly appeared in Li Jing's mind.
At this moment, Li Jing was like a dry sponge, frantically soaking up every useful nutrient.
By the time he finished using the last Comprehension-Type Experience Card, Li Jing had advanced from the Third-Stage Domain to the Fifth-Level Domain.
In barely a single day on Qiu Long Star, he had made the leap from perfected intent to the Fifth-Level Domain!
Judging by this speed of progress alone, let alone star sector-level geniuses, even a genius who appeared once in ten thousand eras among the entire Human Race would struggle to see his back.
The system's mighty power was terrifying indeed!
However, as the level of his domain deepened, each further level required more experience points, so replicating the feat of advancing five domain levels in a single day would likely be difficult.
Even so, Li Jing was confident that if he maintained this pace, he could enter the Ninth-Level Domain and touch upon the Fire Origin Law in less than ten days to half a month.
"There are still plenty of Black Dragon Coins in my account. I'll keep the momentum going and draw more cards!"
While Li Jing was developing at a frantic pace, the three brothers Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng reunited on Earth.
"What? Third Brother, Li Jing refused to join the Yunmo Star Lineage as a core disciple?"
Thunder God was struck by a bolt of lightning right at the outset, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
Even Hong looked over in astonishment.
The Yunmo Star Lineage was an inheritance left behind by a powerful Immortal. Even though he and Thunder God had only been taken in as nominal disciples, they had still benefited greatly.
As for Luo Feng, who had become a personal disciple, there was no need to mention him-he had simply soared into the heavens.
And Li Jing had refused such a fine opportunity?
Seeing their reactions, Luo Feng sighed. "Yes. I didn't expect it either. I'd better let Babata explain." With that, he released Babata's projection.
