#229 - Heartbeat
Initial Universe, Chaos City.
On the vast, desolate continent of ruins, amidst countless alien corpses, the Chaos City Lord, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his gentle eyes.
"Two months!"
He murmured, "It actually took him less than two months to pass the Seven Flame Hall inheritance assessment."
As the controller of the Virtual Universe Company, this avatar of the Chaos City Lord is stationed in the human territory for endless epochs, handling the affairs of the human race.
Two months.
Having successfully crossed the threshold of the fusion law, such an astonishing performance naturally prompted his subordinates to promptly report this information to the Chaos City Lord.
Fusion Law.
It is a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult than simply comprehending a single law. In less than two months, Yang Wu crossed the threshold of the fusion law, indicating an extraordinary talent in this area.
"This little guy is really…"
"Too steady!"
The Chaos City Lord hesitated for a long time before uttering this somewhat inappropriate adjective.
Steady!
Observing Yang Wu's journey, whether in character or style, he is cautious and steady, planning everything before acting.
He never does anything without assurance. Although the Chaos City Lord, in essence, does not quite approve of Yang Wu's overly cautious behavior, he has to admit that perhaps Yang Wu is more suited to this steadiness.
As long as his cultivation speed remains constant and his state of mind keeps pace, he can become a strong person even without experiencing life-and-death battles.
After all.
No one has ever stipulated that one must experience life-and-death battles to become strong. Those born as beast gods or top-tier special lifeforms are born at a point that others can never reach.
"Very steady, but also very 'Gou'!"
The Chaos City Lord sighed. He learned the term "Gou" during a time rewind on Earth, and it aptly describes Yang Wu's behavior.
Yang Wu did not conceal his law comprehension while practicing secret techniques in the virtual universe.
As the helmsman of the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord has extremely high permissions and naturally knows Yang Wu's background.
After fully comprehending all 108 basic mysteries, he clearly possesses the strength of the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge, yet he only displays the 9th level of law comprehension to the outside world.
Whether it was the Peak Genius Battle or the first time he challenged the Tongtian Bridge, he seems to have been like this all along. What else is this but 'Gou'?
At the universe level, his law comprehension reached the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge in less than 200 years. In the eyes of outsiders, this cultivation speed has surpassed Ke Di.
The Chaos City Lord clearly knows.
Yang Wu's essence is already at the peak of the world lord level, and his consciousness can descend upon the origin of the universe at any time, making it understandable for him to achieve this.
Although it is against the rules for Yang Wu, a world lord, to be mixed among universe-level members, if the managers below have not discovered it, then it is Yang Wu's own ability.
There are too many adventures in the universe. The Chaos City Lord's responsibility is only to identify whether there are any alien spies. Last time.
Yang Wu copied a full million blood vein crystals in the Blood Vein World, exchanging them for a full 600 million points.
However, in reality.
According to the ideas of those high-level members of the Virtual Universe Company, universe-level core members cannot take all 600 million points at once.
This massive amount of points must be divided into three parts and issued in three stages, and only when they reach the world lord level can they receive all of it.
A high-level official asked him for instructions.
But the Chaos City Lord directly ignored it and even reprimanded the official. Although he is fair and just, it does not mean that he will rigidly adhere to the rules.
For geniuses with adventures.
They cannot be cultivated according to conventional methods. As long as fair and just treatment can be guaranteed, how much can they obtain within the normal rules?
That is all obtained by the geniuses based on their own strength.
The Chaos City Lord does not reject Yang Wu's seemingly "cheating" behavior. On the contrary, he hopes that there will be more people like this.
Anyway, with the scale of the Virtual Universe Company, this small loophole can be completely filled.
"Yang Wu—"
The Chaos City Lord sighed leisurely, his eyes like the universe and starry sky, his gaze penetrating time and space, looking far at the ascetic cultivators sitting cross-legged on the rooftops of many cultivation residences.
After paying special attention to Yang Wu, he chose a free-range style of cultivation.
Although he prohibited anyone from accepting disciples, the Chaos City Lord gave Yang Wu high permissions, provided resources for avatar promotion, and dispatched a universe overlord to protect him secretly.
And the latter did not disappoint him.
The recognition of the two lower laws, the 12th level of comprehension of the space law on the Tongtian Bridge, plus a Destroyer Beast avatar protected by the Azure Conch Armor, is at least king-level combat power.
Mindset, check!
Talent, strong!
Life-saving ability, not weak!
Counting Yang Wu's various monstrous performances, the Chaos City Lord felt a sense of excitement at this moment.
Inside the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos City Lord was about to make a decision when his expression suddenly froze.
"Teacher!"
Virtual Universe, Primitive Region.
Inside a quiet study, a screen was placed in front of Yang Wu, who quickly clicked into the background management to apply for confirmation that the cultivation task was completed.
Any cultivation task with physical proof requires returning to the secret realm where it was performed before the task can be submitted.
The two tasks in the Seven Flame Hall both require flame core proof. The first task requires obtaining 100 universe-level flame cores.
Reward: 10,000 points.
The second task requires a world lord-level flame core, and success grants 150,000 points.
"No!"
On the plaza outside the palace, a spaceship was parked. Inside the verification cabin of the spaceship, after verifying the submitted flame cores, Yang Wu refused to sell the excess flame cores.
Yang Wu harvested a total of 300 world lord-level flame cores, 9605 domain lord-level flame cores, and 3400 universe-level flame cores.
Yang Wu only submitted 100 universe-level flame cores, considering it as completing this cultivation task, but he was reluctant to part with the world lord-level flame cores.
During this year of dark universe travel, Yang Wu had already figured out the effects of the world lord-level flame cores, which could enhance the clarity of law perception by one time for a period of one year.
These consumable treasures are used up one by one.
Only a fool would exchange them.
If it were not necessary to give flame cores to submit the task, he would not even give universe-level cores. Furthermore.
Although he is currently short of points, the secret techniques, weapons, etc. that he has taken a fancy to cost hundreds of millions or even tens of billions, which is simply an astronomical figure.
Even if he sold all the flame cores, it would not be enough to make up for this huge gap.
Inside the quiet study, Yang Wu held a teacup.
The fire-space fusion law inheritance of the Seven Flame Hall can be comprehended at any time by consuming inheritance opportunities after obtaining the inheritance token.
Yang Wu is not in a hurry now.
The Destroyer Beast avatar will hardly have any major improvements in the short term.
Law comprehension.
What Yang Wu needs to do next is to spend time slowly comprehending the laws, improving his law comprehension to a level that matches the combat power of a peak king.
