Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Primordial Secret Realm.

Deep within the core of the towering Demon Mountain, within one of the icy inheritance halls, layers of steps stretch endlessly, descending into the abyss beneath the earth.

On the 5135th inheritance step.

The Destroyer Beast clone stood like a statue, eyes closed and motionless, yet its body was undergoing transformation amidst the omnipresent heat.

The physical transformation was subtle, but continuous.

Suddenly.

The Destroyer Beast, standing as if sculpted from stone, opened its pair of cyan-golden eyes, within which countless lightning bolts were born and extinguished.

"Tomorrow, the qualification battles begin!"

The deeper one goes in the Ice God General's inheritance, the slower the inheritance process becomes. Initially, the physical transformation was quite rapid, but like taking medicine, the body eventually develops resistance.

After developing "resistance," the body transformation effect from the heat began to diminish, and the time required to pass through each inheritance step gradually increased.

After consuming the Living Four-Leaf Clover, more than a decade had passed. Enduring the erosion of the cold and the modification of the heat, Yang Wu finally reached this five-thousand-plus step. The Destroyer Beast clone's body amplification also reached a terrifying 51 times. Yang Wu separated one-tenth of his consciousness, quickly connected to the virtual universe, and left the remaining nine-tenths to continue receiving the Ice God General's inheritance.

Tongtian Bridge Plane.

On that beautiful central island, the guardian Bafen had been silently waiting for countless years. Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the island.

"Ah, Yang Wu."

Guardian Bafen smiled, walking over in a fiery red robe.

"Guardian, you've finally decided to change your robe," Yang Wu teased.

"Haha, I can't wear the same one forever."

Guardian Bafen smiled. "It's been a while since I've seen you. You haven't come to challenge the Tongtian Bridge since you passed the seventh level."

"In the blink of an eye—"

"Almost a century has passed."

"I know you always have a big move. Are you going to directly pass the ninth level this time, or the tenth level, a major checkpoint?"

Currently, among the universe-level members of the Primal Secret Realm, only two have passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Guardian Bafen was also envious of Yang Wu. He didn't believe Yang Wu could really be that heaven-defying.

"Hmm—I'll just aim for the ninth level first!" Yang Wu stroked his chin, pretending to think.

"The insights from the 11th level of the Tongtian Bridge will only be shown up to the 9th level, leaving two levels as backup."

"That should be enough, right?"

"Oh? Really?"

Guardian Bafen was surprised. "Then I'll wait and see."

Yang Wu smiled and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Nine Universe Tongtian Bridge.

As Yang Wu entered the Nine Universe Tongtian Bridge, Guardian Bafen began sending out mass emails. "Since Boylan passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, those big shots who value Yang Wu have personally instructed me."

Guardian Bafen muttered, "Notify them as soon as Yang Wu challenges the Tongtian Bridge."

This genius battle produced four extremely outstanding genius members.

Among them, Yang Wu and Boylan advanced side by side, always in the lead. Their performances were recognized by the higher-ups as having a chance to impact the Universe Venerable realm.

Then there was Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, who came from behind, almost passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge eighty years after leaving Chaos City.

As for Rong Jun, although he was still at the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, he was valued by some higher-ups in the Virtual Universe Company, who were all vying to take him as a disciple.

Less than a second or two after the emails were sent.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Figures appeared in the Tongtian Bridge plane space, on the central island.

True Yan King, Long Yu King, Tong Nan King, Beicang Marquis—a full hundred immortal gods arrived in less than three seconds.

"Haha, so many people."

True Yan King smiled, looking around. Among these hundred immortal gods, nearly half were King-level immortals, and only a small portion of them were from the Virtual Universe Company.

More were from other forces, gathering to watch the excitement. "Everyone, what level do you think Yang Wu will pass this time?" One of the black-纱 women smiled.

"At least the eighth level. Boylan from their genius battle already passed the eighth level."

"I think it'll probably be the ninth level. Yang Wu likes to surprise people, so it's always good to add an extra layer."

"The ninth level? I don't think so. It's only been 100 years, and can he really make such a big leap in the outside world?"

"Haha, I also think he can pass the ninth level."

A large group of King-level and Marquis-level immortals chatted happily on the central island.

"Quick, the battle has begun!"

Immediately, everyone turned to look at the screen. Yang Wu on the screen had just flown to the end of the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, exchanged a few words with the blue-clothed opponent formed from meteorites, and then directly attacked.

After a brief exchange, it ended.

Passed the eighth level!

"Defeating the eighth level opponent so decisively, he probably has a chance to pass the ninth level as well."

"Yes!"

The immortals watched the screen and commented, but they soon fell silent.

The ninth level opponent on the screen didn't last three rounds in Yang Wu's hands before being blasted into smithereens with a single spear.

Passed the ninth level!

Then, Yang Wu performed his usual operation, directly logging off and disappearing from the Tongtian Bridge.

Tongtian Bridge plane island.

The large group of immortal gods gathered were now silent, staring at the screen in shock.

"He... really passed the ninth level?"

The immortal gods were stunned. Although they had spoken confidently before, they were just making casual remarks.

But they didn't expect Yang Wu to actually achieve it.

"Moreover..."

They could all see that when Yang Wu passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge, he killed his opponent just as easily as he had in the previous levels.

Then he logged off directly!

"Is this the willfulness of a genius?"

Yang Wu's actions shocked the group of immortal gods, and also made them feel a little dumbfounded.

The Tongtian Bridge.

Is a platform for geniuses to showcase their talent.

Only by performing more brilliantly can one receive more attention and more training resources.

But—...

Yang Wu didn't seem very interested in this aspect.

Every time he came to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, it seemed like he was completing an ordinary task, giving someone an explanation.

"Haha."

"Those little guys in the Primal Secret Realm are in luck!"

True Yan King laughed and disappeared from the Tongtian Bridge plane.

Following closely behind, the other immortal gods quickly left, each returning to report.

Only Guardian Bafen remained on the island, taking a deep breath. "Yang Wu's performance is really beyond expectations—"

He edited dozens of emails and quickly sent them out via mass mailing.

The reports from this group of immortal gods and Guardian Bafen instantly spread news of Yang Wu's challenge of the Tongtian Bridge throughout the higher levels of the Virtual Universe Company.
