Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 149: Ten Years of Hard Work

In Chaos City, deep inside the residence of the Extreme Sword King.

"My dear disciple, you came to your master's place, but do you have any doubts in your heart?" King Jidao sat casually on the stone bench in the pavilion and looked at Wang Xiu with a smile.

To be honest, King Jidao is very satisfied with his disciple Wang Xiu.

Although Wang Xiu has never tried to cross the Tongtian Bridge in the past ten years, as Wang Xiu's teacher, Ji Dao Wang roughly knows Wang Xiu's strength.

I remember when Wang Xiu came to me six months ago to ask for answers to his questions, he had already understood the essence of the eight kinds of space.

In ten years, he thoroughly understood the essence of the eight spaces. Even in the Chaos City, with the help of the Chaos Monument, this speed was terrifying.

For others in Chaos City, if they can comprehend the essence of the origin law of space in ten years, they can already be considered excellent.

At the same time, Wang Xiu understood the essence of the eight spaces.

Furthermore, the 108 essences of the original laws of space become increasingly difficult as you progress.

The difficulty level is not just eight times.

"Teacher, I'm ready to cross the Tongtian Bridge." Wang Xiu shook his head and said respectfully.

"Break through the Tongtian Bridge?" King Ji Dao was stunned, and then reacted, "Yes, you haven't crossed the Tongtian Bridge for ten years. Now even your former defeated opponent Bo Lan has surpassed you."

"It's high time for you to go and cross the sky bridge to prove yourself."

As he spoke, the image of King Longyu whom he had seen not long ago emerged in King Jidao's mind.

He knew that King Longyu was an immortal king under the command of Venerable Nine Swords.

The Nine Swords Venerable is the Universe Venerable who presided over the genius battle among Wang Xiu and others. If nothing unexpected happens, after Wang Xiu becomes immortal, he should be under the command of the Nine Swords Venerable.

It has been exactly ten years since Wang Xiu and his group of geniuses entered Chaos City. The purpose of King Longyu entering Chaos City at this time is self-evident. He must have come to observe the performance of Wang Xiu and his group of geniuses.

To some extent, King Longyu is like an imperial envoy to Wang Xiu and his men.

It is the right time for Wang Xiu to break into Tongtian Bridge now, so that he can perform well in front of his future boss.

Maybe if Lord Nine Swords is happy, he will give something.

The Nine Swords Master is an extremely powerful Master. Even if a little energy leaks through his fingers, it will be enough for Wang Xiu to benefit endlessly.

"Teacher, you misunderstood." Wang Xiu smiled and shook his head, "I didn't break into the Tongtian Bridge to prove anything."

"But in the past ten years, I have already comprehended the Chaos Monument three times in a row. Now I have no chance to comprehend the Chaos Monument anymore."

"If I want to comprehend the Chaos Monument, I have to cross the Tongtian Bridge."

"Uh..." King Ji Dao looked at Wang Xiu's clear eyes and couldn't help but cough twice, "Well, what you said makes sense."

"But it doesn't matter, we all end up in the same place!"

"If you want to cross the Tongtian Bridge, go ahead. The teacher will certainly have no reason to object."

"Yes, I know." Wang Xiu said, "I just want to tell you in advance, so that you won't be scared by my grades when the time comes."

"Scared?" King Jidao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard it.

What a joke, who is he?

The ultimate sword king!
The ultimate sword king who has been famous in the battlefield outside the domain for endless years!
He has seen all kinds of big scenes. How could he be scared?
"He is still a young man after all." King Ji Dao looked at the young man in front of him and thought to himself, "Yes, if Wang Xiu is calculated according to the time in the original universe, he should be only a hundred years old now, right?"

However, King Ji Dao did not show any sign of it. He just waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, go ahead, your teacher. I am not that easily scared."

"In that case, then I, the disciple, will feel relieved." Wang Xiu said with a smile upon hearing that.

Teacher, teacher, you can’t blame me this time.

I have already warned you in advance, but you didn't take it to heart.

Yes, it was not as simple as Wang Xiu comprehending the essence of the eight original laws of space, but he comprehended and completely mastered the part about the laws of space in the first picture of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument!

Although there is only a difference of one law, Wang Xiu's combat power is vastly different from before.

……

Chaos City, the residence of King Tongnan.

King Zhenyan, King Tongnan and King Longyu sat together.

"Longyu, you have been in Chaos City for more than twenty days. How is your observation?" King Tongnan asked with a smile.

"Not bad." King Longyu nodded with a smile, "Bolan and Wang Xiu are the best, Rong Jun can barely be counted in the first echelon, and the others also have their own characteristics."

"It's just that Luo Feng, whom you mentioned before, seems to have taken the wrong path."

"From the look of his condition, he must have been sitting on the rooftop for a very long time, and a thick layer of dust must have fallen on his body."

"Wang Xiu is relatively normal. Although I haven't seen him practice his moves, I can tell that he should be in a normal state. With the guidance of the Extreme Sword King, I believe Wang Xiu will not have any major problems."

"As for not crossing the sky bridge, perhaps he has his own considerations."

"Yeah." King Tongnan nodded. His judgment was actually similar to Longyu's.

No matter how weak Ji Dao Wang is, he is still an opponent on the same level as them. Besides, Ji Dao Wang is also very good at teaching his disciples. How could Wang Xiu not make any progress in ten years under his leadership?

King Zhenyan remained silent.

However, the reason for his silence this time was not Wang Xiu, but Luo Feng.

Wang Xiu was, after all, also a member of the Xinhen School.

How he performed actually had little to do with King Zhenyan. What he said before was simply because he disliked King Jidao and habitually mocked him.

But Luo Feng is a genuine talent of the Jiuyu School, and he is also a young talent that he is very optimistic about.

Even the secret book of "Floating Blood" that Luo Feng is currently practicing was recommended to him by King Zhen Yan.

As a result, Luo Feng followed his advice and practiced "Floating Blood", sitting on the rooftop for nearly ten years, as if he had gone astray.

"Alas, Luo Feng, oh Luo Feng, I recommended you to practice "Floating Blood", was it really a wrong recommendation?" King Zhen Yan frowned in his heart.

The thirty years in Chaos City were a precious time for these little guys to lay the foundation.

If it was really because of him that the other party wasted thirty years, that would really be a bit... sigh.

suddenly.

Longyu, Tongnan and Zhenyan all frowned and exclaimed in surprise.

Then they looked up at each other.

After a while, King Tong Nan spoke first:

"Longyu, Bafen should have informed you, right? Wang Xiu has passed the fourth level of Tongtian Bridge!"

"Yeah." King Longyu nodded, a smile on his face, "It seems that I was not wrong."

"Although Bolan passed the fourth level ahead of time, Wang Xiu is not far behind. The difference between the two is only half a year, which is still within the normal range."

Although it took Wang Xiu ten years to reach the fourth floor from the third floor, he only advanced one level, which seemed a bit slow.

But it is worth considering that the Tongtian Bridge becomes more difficult as you go further back, and there is a threshold every three levels of the Tongtian Bridge.

The difficulty of the fourth level of Tongtian Bridge is about ten times higher than that of the third level.

In addition, the understanding of the laws is different from others.

Sometimes one might have to stay in front of a checkpoint for decades. To someone like King Longyu, it was still acceptable to spend ten years to pass a checkpoint.

King Zhenyan looked hesitant. After all, not long ago he had said with certainty that he did not think highly of Wang Xiu.

Now Wang Xiu has slapped him in the face with his actual actions. However, King Zhen Yan has always been brave enough to take responsibility for his actions, so he is not going to continue to lie with his eyes open.

He was about to say something when he was suddenly stunned.

At the same time, King Longyu and King Tongnan were also stunned where they were.

Gudong!

King Zhenyan checked the message he had just received, and then looked at the two friends in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly: "Did you receive the message?"

"Wang Xiu has just passed the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge!"

King Longyu took a deep breath, not caring about anything else, and said directly: "Let's go and take a look at the virtual universe!"

call!
The consciousness of the three super beings instantly entered the virtual universe network.

……

At the same time, in King Jidao’s mansion.

King Ji Dao was sitting in the pavilion, leisurely drinking fine wine. Wang Xiu was sitting cross-legged beside him, his mind and consciousness having already entered the virtual universe.

Suddenly, King Jidao's eyes widened, and the wine in his mouth sprayed out with a "puff".

"What's going on?" King Jidao looked at Wang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a look of shock. "Didn't Wang Xiu just realize the eighth nature not long ago?"

"To pass the fifth level, you must at least fully comprehend the essence of the nine spaces and fully comprehend and master the first picture of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, right?"

"He..."

Without having time to think, King Ji Dao immediately separated a trace of his consciousness and entered the virtual universe.

……

The Tongtian Bridge plane of the virtual universe network.

On the beautiful island, the figure of the Extreme Sword King suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"King of the Extreme Sword." The guardian Bafenlian saluted respectfully.

"Has Wang Xiu's battle on the sixth floor begun?" King Ji Dao shouted.

"It's about to begin. He has just reached the end of the sixth floor." said the Guardian Bafenlian.

The guardian of the entire Tongtian Bridge plane is Baffin. He is most familiar with the situation of everyone on the Tongtian Bridge. Even super strong people such as King Zhenyan and King Tongnan cannot directly detect other people's battles on the Tongtian Bridge. Everything depends on Baffin.

"Release the information about him breaking into the overpass." King Jidao said solemnly.

"Yes!"

The Guardian Baffin waved his hand, and a screen more than ten meters long and nearly eight meters wide suddenly appeared in front of him, and an image appeared on the screen.

There was a section of Tongtian Bridge and a tornado. Wang Zhengzheng was standing on the Tongtian Bridge and looking at the tornado.

"It's about to begin." King Jidao's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, three figures appeared at the same time in the square not far away.

"King Zhenyan, King Tongnan, King Longyu." The guardian Bafenlian saluted respectfully.

King Ji Dao glanced at them, smiled faintly, and greeted King Tong Nan and King Long Yu, saying, "Tong Nan, Long Yu."

As for King Zhenyan who was standing beside King Tongnan, he simply chose to ignore him.

King Zhenyan became furious upon seeing this, and was about to explode when Longyu and Tongnan grabbed his arms and stopped him together.

"Hey, that Extreme Sword King, is this the live broadcast of Wang Xiu's battle to cross the Tongtian Bridge?" Long Yu pointed at the big screen in front of him.

"Yes." King Jidao looked at Longyu with a gentle attitude, "If you are interested, you can come and watch it together."

Wang Xiu would most likely follow the Nine Swords Master in the future, and the Longyu King held a very high position under the Nine Swords Master, and the two had no conflicts before. There was no need to make enemies with the Longyu King now.

"By the way, Bafen, please also pull up the video footage of Wang Xiu breaking into the fourth and fifth floors of the Skybridge."

As Wang Xiu's teacher, Ji Dao Wang knew it very well.

Wang Xiu was already surprised that he could comprehend the essence of the ninth law in a short period of time, and that he could integrate it and comprehend the entire first picture.

With this level of comprehension of the laws, breaking through the fifth level is already the limit.

The sixth level is out of the question.

Since he has made up his mind to improve Wang Xiu's status in King Longyu's heart, he naturally cannot just let King Longyu see Wang Xiu's failure.

Of course, we also need to show the video footage of Wang Xiu’s battle on the fourth and fifth floors to others.

This is called marketing skills.

Although King Jidao believed that with King Longyu's vision, he could get a general idea even if he only looked at Wang Xiu's performance on the sixth level.

But it’s still not as satisfying as seeing Wang Xiu deal with his opponent so quickly and efficiently.

Sometimes, first impressions are everything!
……

A moment later, on the large screen in the center, Wang Xiu's figure collapsed and disappeared instantly after being hit in the vitals by the gatekeeper of the sixth floor.

The entire scene then fell silent and disappeared.

However, there was no strange expression on the faces of the four super immortal beings present.

They had already seen it from the battle videos of Wang Xiu's previous battles on the fourth and fifth floors.

Although Wang Xiu had fully understood the first picture, he only had a superficial understanding of the second picture.

Passing the fifth level is already the limit, want to pass the sixth level?

Basically impossible!

However, even so, King Longyu and his companions were shocked.

This is the fifth floor of Tongtian Bridge!

"It's really rare." King Tongnan was the first to react, "Congratulations, King Jidao, you have accepted a good disciple."

"The best of the 1000 geniuses in our virtual universe company last year only made it to the fourth level!"

"Ok!"

King Longyu also smiled and nodded, "Recently, my Virtual Universe Company organized the 1000th Talent Competition. Among these 1000 competitions, 30 people passed the third level of the Tongtian Bridge in the 4168 years since they came to Chaos City for the first time!"

"926 people passed through the fourth floor!"

"32 people passed the fifth floor!"

"Those who have passed the sixth floor are none!"

Virtual Universe Company holds a genius competition every 10,000 years. Only a handful of people pass the third level in each competition, and only about one person passes the fourth level on average!
If the overall level of a certain class is slightly worse, it will result in no one passing the fourth level. If the overall level is high, two or three may appear to pass the fourth level.

Like Wang Xiu’s class!
Wang Xiu and Bo Lan, both of them have passed the fourth level!

"On average, only one genius passes the fifth level in thirty genius competitions." King Longyu looked at King Jidao with a smile.

"What's more, this is only the tenth year since Wang Xiu entered Primal Chaos City!" King Longyu shook his head, "Maybe when he leaves Primal Chaos City in twenty years, he will be able to break the record directly."

"When Wang Xiu chose the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, it really gave your Heart Mark lineage a great advantage."

"Haha..." King Jidao laughed heartily.
