Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Mingyue Villa, Villa No. 198.

Inside the secret underground chamber, Yang Wu sat cross-legged, taking a Wood Nurturing Crystal from his backpack. He gazed intently at the transparent crystal, which emitted a faint aroma of rice.

Yang Wu grinned, grasped the Wood Nurturing Crystal in his right hand, and began to absorb and refine it.

Under the guidance of his genetic force, a surge of vibrant energy permeated through the pores of his hand, rapidly penetrating deep within his body.

The life energy contained within the Wood Nurturing Crystal differed from the wandering cosmic energy. This life energy was exceptionally pure and easily absorbed and refined by the human body.

Every cell within Yang Wu's body seemed ravenously hungry. As the life energy from the Wood Nurturing Crystal flooded in, these cells frantically devoured it, rapidly converting it into genetic force.

With the influx of this pure and surging life energy, Yang Wu's genetic structure seemed like a seedling nourished by rain, constantly improving and evolving.

The process of absorbing life energy was also a process of Yang Wu's physical evolution.

Time quietly slipped away.

On the cold floor of the underground chamber, Yang Wu remained still, his eyes closed, absorbing the pure life energy of the Wood Nurturing Crystal, continuously converting it into genetic force, enhancing his strength.

“Rumble~~”

Within his dantian, the crimson genetic force surged like a tidal wave, then gathered frantically, forming a massive fireball.

The fireball constantly expanded and contracted. The entire world seemed to contain only this one fireball. With the final contraction, the entire dantian thrummed, forming a miniature planet radiating a crimson glow.

Within Yang Wu's dantian, three miniature planets rotated incessantly, signifying that his genetic force had officially reached the third level of the Planetary stage.

“Buzz buzz…”

Even purer genetic force, refined within each miniature planet, flowed throughout his body, strengthening every part.

“It only took a little over a month to increase my genetic force by one level. This cultivation speed… is alright, but it consumes Wood Nurturing Crystals a bit too quickly.”

In the quiet underground chamber, Yang Wu released his right hand. The once translucent Wood Nurturing Crystal was now dull and lifeless. With a slight touch, it turned to powder and fell to the ground.

Although Yang Wu sighed slightly, he was still very happy. The speed at which his body absorbed the Wood Nurturing Crystal's energy was faster than he had imagined.

From his return from Australia until now, only a little over a month had passed, yet Yang Wu had rapidly advanced from the second level to the third level of the Planetary stage, as if riding a rocket.

Yang Wu broke through to the Planetary stage in March, spending only four months to break through to the second level, but it only took a little over a month to go from the second to the third level.

This was because Yang Wu didn't activate the speed multiplier in order to absorb the Wood Nurturing Crystal's energy more effectively. Otherwise, the advancement time would have been even shorter.

At this rate, he would be able to use the remaining Wood Nurturing Crystals to raise his physical fitness to the seventh level of the Planetary stage before the Golden Horned Beast was born.

After Luo Feng joined the Meteor Star and returned from Wudao, he would find a way to get some resources from Babata and push his strength to the Star level before the Golden Horned Beast was born.

Golden Horned Beast...

After spending nearly a month in the underground chamber, Yang Wu took a cold shower, put on loose white practice clothes, and sat down on the balcony on the second floor.

Outside, it was raining heavily. Yang Wu held a cup of hot tea, gently blew on it, and sipped it slowly, his mind very calm.

At this rate, the Golden Horned Beast was no longer a calamity for him, and what he needed to consider was how to deal with the Nolan Mountain family afterwards.

This matter was neither difficult nor simple.

It was just a different kind of choice!

…

September 28th, Simulation Refresh!

In the early morning, Yang Wu had breakfast and came to the cultivation room to sit cross-legged, starting a new round of future simulation.

[Simulation begins!]

[September 29th, your good brother Luo Feng entered the No. 9 ancient civilization relic.]

[Three months later, Luo Feng has not yet come out of the relic, but because of your previous experience, people do not think he has fallen into it, but is undergoing a special assessment.]

[The amazing auxiliary effect of the Wood Nurturing Crystal greatly accelerates your cultivation speed. You decide not to ask about foreign affairs and concentrate on cultivation.]

[Time flies, a year later, you have used up all the Wood Nurturing Crystals, and your genetic force has reached the seventh level of the Planetary stage.]

[On the other side, Luo Feng, who has been trapped for more than a year, finally walked out of the ancient civilization relic, and the planetary combat power he showed completely shocked the world.]

[You and Luo Feng, two living examples, have made all forces on Earth flock to the No. 9 relic, and have also strengthened the development and investment in other ancient civilization relics.]

[In January 2059, a king-level monster suddenly appeared on the original Wudao Island in Australia, attracting powerful people from all over the world.]

[You publicly revealed your strength in front of the world's strong for the first time, and easily killed the beast king.]

[When the corpse of the beast king, which was more than three thousand meters long, was pulled out of the ground by you, everyone was stunned and fell into silence...]

[Afterwards, a magical treasure called Wood Nurturing Crystal caused a frenzy of competition among major forces. You won 6 Wood Nurturing Crystals with absolute strength.]

[Looking at the familiar Wood Nurturing Crystal in your hand, you were stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was what you had obtained from the underground of Wudao before?]

[You remembered the strangeness deep in the ground, and quickly called Luo Feng, who was deep underground, but the phone did not get through. Just as you were about to look for him, he came back.]

[After Luo Feng came back from Wudao, he soon invited you to join an immortal-level force ─ Meteor Star, and you readily agreed.]

[With the supplement of resources, your training speed has accelerated again, and it only took a year to reach the ninth level of the Planetary stage.]

[In the secret underground room, just as you were about to retreat and planned to break through to the Star level, you were interrupted by Luo Feng who suddenly came.]

[It turned out that during your retreat, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared on the earth. Humans used devastating nuclear bombs, but only caused superficial injuries to it.]

[Luo Feng brought a B6-level laser cannon from the ancient civilization relic, which could kill the Star level. It blasted off most of its head with one shot, but it was still alive and kicking.]

[However, the angry Devouring Beast destroyed the B6-level laser cannon and launched a terrifying sea beast tide. Led by the two beast kings, the beast tide dispersed and frantically attacked human base cities.]

[Hong and Thor were restrained by the beast king, Luo Feng was rushing to support various places, and the Devouring Beast was raging wildly, and its target was China.]

[A earth-shattering tragic battle broke out in the Pacific Ocean.]

[You used the talent secret method to burn the domain, superimposed the secret method obtained from Meteor Star, and completely destroyed the huge body of the Devouring Beast until its life breath disappeared.]

[After confirming the death of the Devouring Beast, you, who were exhausted, finally couldn't support it and fell into a coma instantly.]
