Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 16 Bloodline Enhancement and Life Evolution, The Next Battle of Peak Geniuses

In the quiet room, Yu Duan, completely naked, carefully held a slender syringe in his hand. Inside was a constantly flowing, colorful liquid that emitted a dazzling glow, like a rainbow sunset.

"This is a treasure worth tens of billions of cosmic coins..."

S-grade bloodline evolution agent is even more expensive than some low-grade fifth-tier force weapons. Cosmic-level users definitely can't afford it; only domain lords have a chance.

As for the legendary Domain Lord-level potions, only a higher-level Realm Lord can afford them. Generally, only powerful Realm Lords who have been recognized by the laws are willing to buy them.

Yu Duan glanced at it briefly, then without hesitation, pierced the skin with a needle.

As the brilliantly colored liquid surged into my body, an indescribable, excruciating pain spread, as if millions of steel needles were piercing every cell.

A pain far worse than being torn apart by a thousand cuts swept over me, causing my muscles to spasm uncontrollably. This was a biological instinct, beyond human control.

"Damn...that's fucking awesome!"

Yu Duan clenched his teeth, making a grinding sound. His gums were so strained that blood seeped out and spilled from the corners of his mouth.

The entire renovation process will take about an hour.

Fortunately, Yu Duan had already prepared herself mentally.

In terms of suffering, the suffering I am experiencing now is incomparable to the suffering I will experience when Luo Feng recognizes the Star Tower as his master in the future.

If you can't be prepared to bear immense pain, then don't even think about becoming a true strong person.

Within Yu Duan's body, each cell has now become a miniature battlefield. The effects of the bloodline evolution agent have penetrated into the cell membrane, frantically attacking all mitochondria, telomeres, and other structures, driving unknown changes in Yu Duan's genetic traits.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

Inside the quiet room, Yu Duan lay sprawled on the floor, panting heavily.

At this moment, Yu Duan felt that all the muscles in his body had completely lost their strength, and all he wanted to do was sleep.

"Master, master, the process of bloodline evolution consumes a lot of life energy. Therefore, it is best to soak in the 'Pool of Life' as soon as the evolution is complete."

The intelligent assistant's figure was projected from the optical brain, looking at Yu Duan with some concern.

"Ok, I know."

Yu Duan struggled to his feet, and Tian Ran, seeing this, quickly activated the rock-gray nutrient chamber.

"Wow!"

As the nutrient tank opened, a pale blue liquid filled about one-fifth of its volume could be seen. At the same time, a chilling aura of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius instantly spread out.

Yu Duan collapsed directly into the nutrient tank, and with a thud, a strange, pale blue substance instantly engulfed his entire body.

Immediately, Yu Duan sensed a vast and boundless vitality surging from the nutrient solution, permeating his skin and transforming into pure and powerful life force, replenishing the energy consumed by the recent bloodline evolution and propelling Yu Duan's life level to begin a leap.

"Close the hatch!"

Yu Duan's will controlled the nutrient tank's hatch to close through the virtual universe network.

The entire soaking process takes about 10 days.

During these 10 days, Yu Duan can also attend classes in the virtual universe.

The lecture hall at Beiming Holy Land offers many courses every day, all of which are open to the public. You need to make an appointment to attend, and there are limited spots available.

Of course, in most cases, public courses will not be full, except for courses by powerful immortal gods.

Although the ruler of Beiming Kingdom has 20,000 immortals under his command, it's impossible for them to do nothing all day but teach a bunch of kids. Especially the 500 marquises appointed by the ruler, they only give a public lesson when they're bored, and incidentally check if there are any promising talents.

……

Time passed day by day, and before they knew it, more than a week had passed since Yu Duan entered the sacred land of Beiming.

Virtual Universe, Beiminghai, Yuduan Manor.

In the training ground, a dazzling field of light surged and rippled, and Yu Duan's figure could be vaguely seen flickering as he practiced the Floating Light and Shadow Movement Technique.

"Master, the public lecture you booked is about to begin. The topic is: The relationship and mysteries between the fundamental laws of light and the realm of light."

Tianran hurriedly flew to Yu Duan's side. Her palm-sized figure had a huge virtual screen on top of it, which displayed a reminder that the public class Yu Duan had booked was about to begin.

"Alright, let's teleport directly to the Elementary Lecture Hall on Shenxi Star."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot and was directly teleported to the entrance of the Shenxi Star Elementary Lecture Hall, hundreds of light-years away from the planetary floating island.

Elementary Lecture Building, Hall 4.

This is a circular auditorium-style building with a radius of 100 kilometers, surrounding the central stage, with rows of seats for students, totaling over 10,000.

As soon as Yu Duan entered the lecture hall, he saw two familiar faces.

"Yu Duan, over here!" A bewitching girl with fox ears and purple eyes waved her hand.

Beside the girl stood a lean young man in a scale armor battle robe: "Haha, I knew it, Yu Duan would definitely come to give a public lecture too."

The alluring girl is named Chili, and she comes from the Chimei Clan, a cosmic-level bloodline ranked among the top 50 human races. She is born with an extremely strong talent for illusion magic.

The lean young man next to him is called An Yao, a genius of the An Luo clan, which is also an extremely powerful race. More than 90% of the strong members of the clan have comprehended the fundamental laws of light.

Both of them are outstanding among the stellar-level students. Chili is ranked 29th among the stellar-level students, and Anyao is even ranked in the top 10. Both of them are geniuses who have entered the Origin Law.

Yu Duan had only met the two of them in the past few days. Among the star-level geniuses who had crossed the threshold of the laws, they were among the very few who did not look down on others.

Especially after learning that Yu Duan had mastered three domains at less than 18 years old, the two became even closer to him.

"Chili, Anyao, you're here really early."

Yu Duan then sat down next to the two and started chatting.

Chili smiled and said, "After all, it's an immortal god giving a lecture, and it just so happens to be explaining the mysteries of the origin of light, so I have to come and listen."

"I estimate the explanation won't be too in-depth; it will focus more on how to comprehend the laws, which should be quite useful for Duan."

An Yao sighed, "It's a pity that you joined the Holy Land a bit too late, Yu Duan. If you had joined a hundred years earlier, you might have been able to compete in that competition."

"That tournament... the battle of the ultimate geniuses?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan's first thought was of the battle of the top geniuses.

Chili's fluffy purple tail swayed in front of her, gently stroking her, and she said with a coquettish smile, "It seems that the elders in Yu Duan's family also told you that there are less than 20 years left until the next Genius Battle."

"20 years... it's not entirely impossible, at least we can go and see for ourselves."

If he had 20 years, Yu Duan would be confident of making it into the top genius battle.

As for how many places one can achieve, that depends on the cost of gaining insights into the laws of advance.
