Chapter 42: One Year of Growth!
"The so-called 'domain' is the true combination of genetic energy, physical strength, spiritual power, and consciousness, triggering a resonance in the universe to form a special kind of power!"
"The combination of these numerous powers will allow martial artists who have comprehended a domain to reach an extremely terrifying level! Domain experts within the planetary level are said to be invincible among their peers!"
Babata said seriously.
"That's amazing?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. "What about your state of mind? Do you know what the relationship is between the realm of comprehension and your state of mind?"
"Well..." Babata wanted to say that it had little to do with the domain or state of mind, but then he thought of Zhou Ze's certainty and that only those geniuses with exceptionally strong minds in the universe could comprehend the domain.
"Perhaps... but cultivating one's state of mind is too ethereal and abstract. Besides, look at the three people on Earth who have comprehended this realm, including Zhou Ze, aren't they all much older than you..."
"Of course, at this age, let alone in the universe, even compared to this demon Babata, it's insignificant... Hmm, perhaps you can give it a try, but you can't focus all your attention on cultivating your mental state!"
Luo Feng nodded: "Babata, you're right, I understand, teacher..."
Before Luo Feng could finish speaking, he saw Babata's expression about to change, so he immediately stopped and changed the subject seriously:
"Babata, by the way, can't Teacher Zhou improve his aptitude in mental power? Martial artists can improve their aptitude with rare and precious materials, so mental power practitioners should be able to too, right?"
Babata, arms clasped behind his head, lay in the air and said, "Of course! It's just that we can't afford the good ones, and the cheap ones aren't very useful, especially for Zhou Ze, whose aptitude as a mentalist is ridiculously low!"
"He shouldn't have awakened his psychic powers; he might have already broken through to the planetary level."
"Alright," Luo Feng said, somewhat helplessly.
Babata continued, "The best way to change one's aptitude is actually through a 'bloodline potion'!"
"Um, 'Bloodline Elixir'? What's that?" Luo Feng asked curiously. "Could it be a treasure that can raise a person's bloodline level?"
"That's right! When I was underground on Mist Island, I told you about some powerful races among the human populations who could automatically reach the Domain Lord level just by eating, drinking, and sleeping without any cultivation."
"Hmm, it's hard to imagine..." Luo Feng sighed, "Those star beasts with peak bloodlines, who can naturally grow to the level of a World Lord just by eating and sleeping..."
"Bloodline Potions have the effect of evolving one's bloodline. The most precious Bloodline Potions can even evolve one's bloodline to the first-class level, meaning one can naturally grow to the Domain Lord level without cultivation!"
Babata said, "Even the cheapest bloodline potion is beyond your means right now."
"Huh, so expensive? Babata, even if I reach the Hengxing level, I still can't open the first account that Teacher Huyanbo left me?" Luo Feng scratched the back of his head.
"You can't afford it either. Those are treasures measured in cosmic coins. Give up!" Babata said bluntly.
"Okay," Luo Feng said dejectedly.
"However, you can buy Bloodline Evolution Agents. Although the effects of Bloodline Evolution Agents are far less than those of Bloodline Potions, they are still very effective."
"Okay, I understand."
……
Mingyue Residential Area.
On Zhou Ze's rooftop, Thor immediately started complaining as soon as he entered.
"Brother Zhou Ze, you don't know, I just sparred with Brother Hong yesterday..."
Zhou Ze smiled faintly and asked, "Did you win or feel better?"
"Of course he won!" Thor flashed his pearly white teeth, then looked utterly speechless. "But who knew that after the battle, he would suddenly break through to the second level of the Domain! That's unbelievable!"
"It's a pity that I regained first place for less than a minute before Brother Hong snatched it back. Sigh, what a miserable life..." Thor put his arm around Zhou Ze's shoulder and pretended to cry.
After waiting for a while, Thor noticed Zhou Ze hadn't made a move and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou Ze, why aren't you saying anything?"
Zhou Ze looked at Thor with a half-smile, while the latter touched his shiny bald head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Just as Lei Shenguang was about to say something, a blurry figure appeared beside him. The figure quickly became clear, and it was Hong!
"Zhou Ze," Hong greeted him, glancing indifferently at Thor.
"Brother Hong, your plane isn't as fast as mine. I arrived a while earlier than you!" Thor said smugly.
Hong ignored Thor and asked Zhou Ze directly, "Zhou Ze, what's the matter?"
Thor also looked at Zhou Ze: "You should be able to sense that inexplicable sense of crisis too, right? Could it be this?"
Zhou Ze said, "It's somewhat related to this. I called you here today to talk to you about something, and it's up to you to choose."
At this point, Zhou Ze smiled slightly. Since their first meeting, the three of them had often exchanged ideas about their mental states, and Thor often asked him for advice on how to exert force.
Therefore, although his strength and status are far inferior to Hong and Thor, he is regarded as an equal by Hong and Thor.
For beings with such a detached mindset, even if you are very strong, if your mindset is not good enough, it is difficult to have a true common language.
"Oh?" Thor asked, somewhat curious.
Hong glanced sideways.
"A great opportunity awaits you, and you've sensed it, haven't you? Hehe..." Zhou Ze briefly recounted how he and Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of the Meteorite Star.
"Will that AI called Babata agree to let us join Meteorite?" Thor asked with a smile.
Zhou Ze laughed and said, "Bao De, you guys can comprehend a domain at the planetary level. Even if the Lord of Meteorite Star were alive, he would be someone who couldn't even dream of such a thing."
Thor laughed and said, "This is a good thing. The entire sect is now down to just the two of you, so you don't have to worry about being used as cannon fodder."
Hong nodded in agreement: "That's good too. We've gained the inheritance, but we've also lost our comfort."
Suddenly, Babata appeared out of nowhere, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws in the air: "Bastards, you two are just as much of a bastard as Zhou Ze. Disrespectful to your sect, you deserve to be beaten and punished!"
Babata was both angry and helpless.
Of course, she was secretly delighted.
These two are undoubtedly the most outstanding disciples. They possess their own domains at the planetary level. Such geniuses would be highly sought after even in the universe.
"Babata." Zhou Ze raised an eyebrow. "Luo Feng isn't here, so how did you manage to appear before us?"
Babata scoffed, "It's just a consciousness projection. As long as your AI has that function, I can appear anywhere on Earth. Don't forget I'm an intelligent life form. What's so surprising about such a basic function?"
Hong and Thor exchanged a glance. No wonder Zhou Ze said Babata was quite interesting. This is just childish behavior. Kids can be coaxed.
Babata ignored Zhou Ze and instead pulled Hong and Thor aside to offer them advice on their future cultivation paths, as these were her precious disciples from Meteorite Star.
If they were placed in the universe, none of them would be disciples that Meteorite Star could easily obtain.
At the very least, none of the disciples her master had taken in were geniuses who had comprehended a domain at the Hengxing level.
……
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Under Babata's guidance, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
However, Zhou Ze still failed to break through to the planetary level, even with the mental power cultivation technique from Meteorite Star, which allowed his mental power cultivation speed to barely match that of an average mental power master on Earth.
But this is still too slow!
Zhou Ze asked Babata why she was increasing her strength without considering the consequences, but Babata said that it required treasures, and her master didn't even bother with those kinds of treasures and didn't collect them.
Helpless, Zhou Ze could only focus his time and energy on amplitude, domain, and other aspects, in which he made rapid progress!
In terms of power exertion, Zhou Ze has reached 18 times, and his domain is close to the third level. In terms of consciousness, by taking advantage of Luo Feng's insights, the amplitude of his mental power has reached 19 times!
"My mental energy can't keep up at all. My brain capacity is too small, and it can't hold enough mental energy. Even with a full-power burst of 19 times amplitude, I can't last even half a minute!"
In the training hall, the 19 throwing knives that had been flying rapidly around Zhou Ze fell limply to the ground.
"The amplitude is also something my body can hardly withstand with more hidden force."
Zhou Ze was both amused and exasperated. He estimated that this was even rarer than a planetary-level comprehension level in the universe. What a kind person, at the apprentice level, had maximized their body's amplitude and achieved a mental power amplitude of 19!
Wouldn't it be better to break through to the planetary level earlier? Besides, breaking through to the planetary level is much easier than maximizing body amplitude.
Leveling up can be achieved through treasures, which can increase the amplitude of physical and mental energy. While using external objects can provide assistance, ultimately it depends on one's own comprehension.
……
The martial arts training hall on the second floor of Luo Feng's house.
Luo Feng used his mental power to levitate the blade fragments.
From one spiritual force to 19!
Before receiving the inheritance from Meteorite Star, Luo Feng could control 18 strands of mental power, but he had to control 18 items separately. Luo Feng had no way to combine the 18 strands of mental power without affecting his combat power; once they were combined, they would affect each other.
Now he can combine 19 strands of psychic power together.
Babata grumbled, "Luo Feng, you've heard me right, haven't you? I, the demon Babata, have traversed the universe for six thousand epochs. What does Zhou Ze, a mere brat, know about a mentalist?!"
Luo Feng was embarrassed; he dared not contradict Babata, especially when it came to his teacher. Otherwise, he would surely suffer a demonic roar from Babata.
For the past year, he had been cultivating with Babata. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhou Ze, but rather that Zhou Ze simply couldn't guide him. Both of them had inherited the legacy of the Meteorite Star, and he had been working hard to learn it, especially the secret techniques of the Spiritual Master.
Zhou Ze glanced at the martial arts secrets for a while, then stopped looking at them.
He was incredibly busy that year, having to cultivate gene energy, as well as the "Control Chapter," "Illusion Chapter," and "Miscellaneous Chapter" of the Meteorite Star Spiritual Master's Secret Manual, and even the martial arts secret manual.
After a year, people are often in a daze. Compared to being trapped in the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins, where you only need to focus on the basic 321 mental techniques, there is now too much and too complicated content to learn.
……
East China Sea.
Hong and Lei Shen floated about two or three hundred meters above the sea.
"Brother Hong, it's been a year. Watch how I defeat you this time!" Thor said confidently.
Hong smiled slightly. "Alright, let's go!"
The two sides deployed their domains almost simultaneously, two circular domains intertwined with black and red and blue and gold, clashing against each other, with wave after wave of energy surging outwards.
Even though the sea was two or three hundred meters away from the two of them, the waves still swept outwards in layers.
The aquatic monsters beneath the sea surface fled for their lives.
This is the aura of the two strongest people on Earth today. Apart from a certain colossal creature in the distant ocean depths, the Golden Horned Beast, no life form can rival them!
