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

Chapter 34 The Unorthodox Methods of the Illusionary King
In a private room of a luxurious building in a virtual universe.

A dozen or so geniuses at the stellar level gathered together, all of whom had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws.

"The third level of the Time Sword, your rate of improvement is unreasonable."

An Yao complained to Yu Duan with some frustration, then changed the subject: "This time, the number one in the entire universe in the Genius Battle will probably be decided between you and Senior Brother Aarons."

As a user of the Time Sword himself, An Yao knew very well how difficult it was to master the third level of the Time Sword at the Stellar level.

To put it simply, the average level of understanding of the first law in all previous genius battles is roughly equivalent to the level of wielding the second level of the Time Sword.

If it weren't for the genius Aarons, Yu Duan would have had a very high probability of becoming the number one in the entire universe.

Yu Duan, holding his wine glass, laughed and said, "I'll pass on first place. I'm no match for Senior Brother Aarons. Four years is too short a time; it's hard to make any progress."

Aarons shook his head and looked at Pennolai and the others beside him, saying, "I believe others when they say it's difficult to improve in four years. But hearing it from Yu Duan makes me have to think about it."

"Haha, Senior Brother is right, Yu Duan is a monster."

"..."

For a moment, the private room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, with people praising Yu Duan's unparalleled talent and exclaiming that Aarons would definitely win first place.

Yu Duan humbly stated that he had no talent.

Aarons waved his hands repeatedly, saying that the Genius Battle hadn't even started yet, and it was too early to talk about who would be number one. He added that previous Genius Battles had produced even more extraordinary individuals, and they couldn't afford to be careless.

……

The next day, the morning light was dim.

Inside a martial arts palace on King Qinghuan's island, this ancient, super immortal was looking at his young disciple with satisfaction.

"You brat, when did you learn to use the third level of the Time Sword? You were hiding it from me, and I didn't even know."

In yesterday's match against Aarons, Yu Duan unleashed the third level of the Time Sword for the first time.

This is quite a surprise for Qinghuanwang, who has been paying close attention to Yu Duan.

"Just a few days ago, I had a sudden epiphany. After coming to my senses, I found that my mastery of the laws had improved considerably. I estimated that I should be able to use the third level of sword technique, so I tried it and succeeded."

Upon hearing Yu Duan's words, King Qinghuan sighed, "Another sudden enlightenment. Others might not have one even once in tens of thousands of years, but you've made it a wholesale event. Good, good, good. I won't mind if you have more of these sudden enlightenments."

"With your current mastery of the laws, you should be able to master the first level of movement technique, Time Flowing Shadow, to the 'minor success' level."

"I still suggest that you try to devote some of your energy to the cultivation of your movement techniques."

King Qinghuan's tone was somewhat earnest and persuasive. He didn't demand anything of Yu Duan, but instead spent a long time explaining the importance of movement techniques.

Yu Duan originally planned to use these four years to improve his shortcomings in all aspects, so he naturally agreed.

"Haha, very good. If you have any questions about movement techniques, you can ask your master."

King Qinghuan was very satisfied, but then suddenly remembered something and asked, "How well have you mastered the basics? What is your power multiplier?"

"The rankings were just measured before the battle, and it was about 43 times higher."

Although Yu Duan did not deliberately practice power generation techniques, he focused his energy on comprehending the laws while grinding through the game.

However, the technique of exerting force is not too difficult. As Yu Duan repeatedly used his swordsmanship, his skill naturally improved to more than forty times.

"More than forty times, that's not bad. There's no need to waste energy on this."

As King Qinghuan spoke, he raised his right hand, and a blazing bolt of lightning burst forth in his palm, then transformed into countless faint arcs of electricity that flickered.

In the next instant, countless electric arcs once again differentiated into endless bioelectric fields invisible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions and enveloping Yu Duan's figure within them.

"Calm down and focus on feeling the movement of your muscles and the transmission of power."

As soon as Qinghuan Wang uttered those words, Yu Duan noticed that all the muscles in his body were being activated.

The bioelectric field replaced Yu Duan's own nerve signals, controlling the movement of Yu Duan's muscles. "Boom!"

Yu Duan unleashed a straight punch from a lunge stance, the pure physical force shattering the air, creating a huge cavitation bubble that then suddenly exploded in a violent blast.

boom!
The aftershocks from the exploding air bubbles swept out in all directions, much like the shockwave from a shell exploding.

Under the perfect control of the Illusion King, Yu Duan felt as if all his power had been condensed into a single point, which was then perfectly released with each punch and kick.

"Don't get distracted. Carefully feel the movement of your muscles and bones, and feel the resonance of your body's power."

"is teacher!"

Every punch, every kick, even the movement of raising one hand and foot was as if they were one. Yu Duan could feel his own power as if it were formed into an invisible 'ball', which was unleashed with each punch and kick.

After a short while, a gentle power emanated from Yu Duan's body.

Then King Qinghuan patted Yu Duan on the shoulder: "Work hard and don't let me and your master uncle, the king, down."

After King Qinghuan finished speaking, his figure transformed into a ray of light and disappeared directly into the palace.

Yu Duan did not see him off, but was still immersed in the feeling of mobilizing that power.

After a short while, Yu Duan came to his senses and his consciousness directly logged into the virtual universe network.

……

In the virtual universe, in a spacious training ground, Yu Duan's figure suddenly appeared.

This is a training ground specifically for testing force exertion; it is impossible to mobilize the Force here.

"Begin the power test."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, a human-shaped training target appeared in front of him.

"drop!"

A mechanical prompt sounded, and a light screen appeared next to the training target in the shape of a dummy.

The screen displayed only one line of text: "Please attack the dummy once each with your hand, elbow, shoulder, knee, and foot within 1 second."

Yu Duan stretched his muscles and bones to adapt to his body without the original force, and then suddenly gathered his strength.

"boom!"

Recalling the feeling just now, Yu Duan felt like a drawn bow, and suddenly punched the dummy in the chest.

A violent recoil force came, and Yu Duan, following the direction of the recoil force, directly spun around and kicked, his right leg striking the dummy like a whip...

In less than 0.1 seconds, five attacks using pure physical strength exploded on the dummy, creating dents.

"drop!"

Another notification sounded, and then the injured training dummy recovered. On the screen next to the dummy, Yu Duan's test results appeared.

"Hands exert 63 times the force, elbows exert 65 times the force, shoulders exert 59 times the force... Using the lowest force data, your final force multiplier is 59 times!"

In just a few minutes, after experiencing a more advanced way of exerting force, Yu Duan's force multiplier soared from 43 times to 59 times.

Moreover, having experienced the state of perfect control over the body in advance, Yu Duan will find it much easier to improve his power generation skills in the future.

"This... is definitely a heretical cultivation method, isn't it?"

Yu Duan thought about his Book of Cause and Effect and realized that he didn't seem to have the right to call it a heretical cultivation method.

He directly used cheat codes, which were far more unorthodox than the methods taught to him by Teacher Qinghuan Wang.
