Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Year 2065, March, according to the Chinese calendar.

Far away from Earth, in the vast expanse of space,

a massive nebula vortex silently appeared.

It was a natural wormhole!

“Finally reached the wormhole.”

Not far from the wormhole, two long, flat, gray battleships sped along, one after the other.

Inside the command room of the lead gray battleship, the commander gazed at the huge nebula vortex projected on the external view simulator.

Over two years.

Pula finally received news from his family that the adventurer team had been completely annihilated, without even a shred of information making it back.

However, just as Pula breathed a sigh of relief,

a massive laser beam shot through the void towards the battleships,

The two long, flat, gray battleships didn't even have time to activate their energy shields before being pierced through in a line.

Dozens of laser beams followed closely behind,

In an instant,

the two-kilometer-long battleships were blasted into cosmic wreckage by the laser cannons. “As expected of a D9-level wormhole defense system, D-level battleships didn't even have time to activate their energy shields before being turned into scrap metal!”

Not far from the wormhole, a cosmic-level slave fleet was stationed.

Inside the command ship, Karu watched the battle scene in the external view simulator and couldn't help but sigh.

“This time, we caught them off guard. If they had activated their shields in advance, they could have lasted at least a second or two.”

To his right was Agor, the commander of this slave fleet, a cosmic level eight martial artist.

“Report the information to the master!”

“Yes!”

“They actually returned the same way?”

Inside the training hall on the third floor of Sky Castle, Yang Wu, upon receiving Agor's message, stopped his movements in surprise.

This truly surprised Yang Wu.

Two years ago, the adventurer team was discovered by the defense system spanning the solar system as soon as they entered it and were captured alive by the slave fleet.

After obtaining the wormhole coordinates from them, Yang Wu ordered a top-tier wormhole defense system and ordered one of the slave fleets to be stationed at the wormhole.

Three months later, the Norlan Shan family fleet disappeared from the solar system. Yang Wu thought they had received the message and returned through the dark universe.

Who would have thought that they did return, but by the same route?

You should know that although Hu Yanbo used spatial secret techniques to cover the spatial coordinates, turning thousands of light-years around the Earth into a void area,

it only prevents entry into the void area from the outside through dark universe travel, but there is no such restriction inside the void area.

As long as you have the destination coordinates, you can directly return through the dark universe.

This…

What were they thinking?

“Forget it, never mind them.”

Yang Wu decided to ignore this matter. With Earth's current strength—Planet Destroyer Cannons, D4-level laser guns, cosmic-level slave fleets—

the Norlan Shan family's strength was no longer a threat to him.

Moreover, Norlan Shan should be thanking him. At least Yang Wu saved his life.

With Norlan Shan's cautious nature, he might not even send a family fleet to seek revenge, and might even flee the family like in the original story.

Sky Castle, quiet room on the third floor.

Three months passed in a flash, and it was time for the annual simulation.

Inside the quiet room, Yang Wu made all the preparations.

[Simulation begins!]

[You are in a daze for a moment, then continue to comprehend the laws of the universe.]

[December 16, 2065, it is the once-every-three-year Ganwu Auction. You bid for a piece of incomplete skin of a Mosha clan member.]

[After the auction, Luo Feng asked you for a portion of the Mosha clan skin. Like you, he is also preparing to nurture it into an avatar.]

[March 9, 2066, the long-awaited Universe Genius Competition finally arrives. In the past 5 years, the Earth four-person team has made leaps and bounds in progress.]

[June 2066, you sweep the contestants with absolute strength and win the first place in the world region. Luo Feng and the others also advanced by virtue of their respective advantages.]

[March 2069, the three-year-long cycle battle finally ends. Your first avatar, the Mosha clan avatar, is also nurtured.]

[As the darling of space, the Mosha clan avatar is simply a joy to comprehend the laws of space. That feeling is so wonderful.]

[September 2070, the peak finals begin. On the arena, you sweep all the way, finally facing off against Death God Bolan.]

[You, who have comprehended the first basic mystery of the essence of the law of space, combined with the unsolvable talent secret Flame Burst, defeat Bolan with absolute advantage and win the first place in the genius battle.]

[2071, you break through to the cosmic level and have another avatar quota. This time you give the avatar quota to the Destroyer Beast, but it takes a full 30 years to nurture.]

[October 2074, upon arriving in Chaos City, you count your strengths and weaknesses, and finally choose the Nine Universe Chaos Tablet that directly points to the law of space.]

[First year in Chaos City, you successfully pass the third level of Tongtian Bridge, earning 7,000 points. Your shocking performance immediately attracted the attention of the upper echelons.]

[After returning to the rooftop, a strong man who calls himself the Flame Dragon King sends you an email suggesting that you buy the best auxiliary secret book for the Nine Universe Chaos Tablet, the basic secret book "Floating Blood".]

[You follow his advice, decide to take the path of studying the essence of the law of space, and buy the basic secret book "Floating Blood".]

[However, when you are studying the first set of swordsmanship in the secret book, you inexplicably feel a little familiar, and soon you completely master the first set of swordsmanship.]

[It turns out that the 108 sets of swordsmanship of the Floating Blood Secret Book correspond to the 108 basic mysteries of the essence of the law of space.]

You have mastered one of the basic mysteries, so you are naturally familiar with the swordsmanship.]

[Second year in Chaos City, Luo Feng invites you to hunt Chaos True Spirits to slightly transform your soul. At the same time, you recommend the Floating Blood Secret Book to him.]

[Tenth year in Chaos City, Luo Feng successfully masters the first set of swordsmanship, comprehends the first basic mystery, and passes the third level of Tongtian Bridge.]

[Sixteenth year in Chaos City, with the help of the Mosha clan avatar, you successfully master nine sets of swordsmanship and comprehend the first nine basic mysteries of the law of space.]

[Seventeenth year in Chaos City, you pass the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge, which not only caused a sensation among the high-level human race, but also entered the blacklist of foreign races.]

[Second year in Chaos City—]

[Simulation ends!]

“Whew—.”

“Awesome!”

The feeling of cheating is really extraordinary.

Inside the quiet room, after receiving all the law insights, Yang Wu felt like he was floating in the air.

The first nine basic mysteries of the law of space have now been fully comprehended, and when performing spatial avatars, they are no longer as stiff as before.

‘The first nine basic mysteries, now my law perception, can completely pass the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge.’

“It’s 2065.”

“Next is the peak genius battle!”
