Chapter 99 Luo Feng Returns
Swallowed Star World, August 16, 2056.
In the cultivation room of Mingyue Residential Area, Lin Yun sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air. The surrounding space was slightly distorted, a phenomenon caused by the lightning domain being operated at its peak. A purple halo formed around him from the Ninefold Lightning Domain, and arcs of electricity jumped in the air, emitting a faint crackling sound.
It has been a year and a half since he broke through to the planetary level.
For the past year and a half, as the sixth inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, he hadn't had much to do. Indeed, inspector—after breaking through to the planetary level, he was quickly appointed by Hong as the sixth inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, and automatically became a member of the Earth Council. A seventeen-year-old inspector, a seventeen-year-old councilor—this was unprecedented in the history of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy.
In the days that followed, he would occasionally visit He Lingruo at the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, and occasionally go to the wild to find King-level monsters to practice against, but most of the time he spent in the training room—integrating his understanding of the laws in the Panlong World into the Swallowed Star World.
As his comprehension of the laws deepened, his lightning domain gradually rose from the fifth level to the ninth. The ninth level of the lightning domain meant he was only one step away from truly crossing the threshold of the laws. He had a premonition that once he fully comprehended one of the profound mysteries of the lightning laws in the Panlong World and reached the level of a lower-level god, then in the Swallowed Star World, his lightning laws would truly cross the threshold of the laws. And once he truly crossed the threshold, he would be considered a top-tier genius in the entire universe!
The other elemental domains—wind, fire, water, earth, and light—have also reached the sixth or seventh level, respectively. With all six elements advancing simultaneously, he is virtually invincible among planetary-level beings.
In terms of cultivation, he found dozens of peak Saint-level magical beast cores in the spatial rings of Wind Fiend and Earth Fiend. The energy of these cores was extremely vast. After absorbing them, his mental power cultivation and martial arts cultivation both increased from the fifth level of the Planetary level to the eighth level of the Planetary level.
In terms of strength, even if Hong and Thor joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him now. But he knew that wasn't enough—above the planetary level there are the eternal level, and above the eternal level there are the cosmic level; the road ahead was still long.
However, Lin Yun recently encountered a bottleneck—the limitations of the rules.
In the world of Panlong, there are seven elements of law: earth, fire, water, wind, thunder, light, and darkness, as well as four major rules: destruction, life, death, and fate.
In the world of Swallowed Star, the fundamental laws are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, time, and space—a total of ten. Among them, time and space are the higher-level laws, while the other eight are the lower-level laws.
The two worlds share six overlapping laws: water, fire, earth (corresponding to the earth element of Panlong), wind, thunder, and light. The profound mysteries of these six laws are basically the same in both worlds, which is why Lin Yun was able to verify his knowledge and make rapid progress in both worlds.
However, the four laws of metal, wood, time, and space do not exist in the Panlong world. He cannot comprehend them through the Panlong world. Furthermore, the dark law in the Panlong world has no corresponding counterpart in the Swallowed Star world and can only serve as an auxiliary element.
"I must comprehend the eight fundamental laws to a similar degree before becoming immortal," Lin Yun murmured.
In the world of Swallowed Star, once one becomes an immortal god, their life form undergoes a qualitative change. At that point, the difficulty of comprehending new fundamental laws becomes tens of thousands of times greater. Therefore, those truly peerless geniuses comprehend multiple laws before achieving immortality, laying the foundation for fusing laws and reaching higher realms in the future.
The problem is that he has no idea how to comprehend the four laws of metal, wood, time, and space.
For over a year, he had tried countless times to sense the laws of metal and wood, but to no avail. The law of metal—he lacked the metal elemental talent and could not sense the metal law within the world. The law of wood—although he possessed the wood-attribute "immortal body" talent, it was merely a manifestation of his physical regenerative abilities, far from being a true understanding of the laws.
"Golden Horned Beast..." A thought flashed through Lin Yun's mind.
The Golden Horned Beast possesses the pinnacle of bloodlines in the universe, its attribute being metal; it can be considered a darling of the Law of Metal. If one could possess the Golden Horned Beast and use its innate talents to comprehend the Law of Metal, the results would be twice as effective.
The problem is, he won't possess the secret technique. Moreover, possessing the Golden Horned Beast means seizing Luo Feng's greatest opportunity. That's Luo Feng's destined opportunity; if he steals it, what will become of Luo Feng's future?
"Forget it, let's not think about it now." Lin Yun shook his head. "Let's wait until Babata appears. Maybe then, there will be another way."
2056 9 Month 1 Day.
On this day, Luo Feng was expelled from the elite training camp by Hong.
No, to be precise, it's "graduation".
Six months ago, Luo Feng joined the elite training camp, a full year earlier than in the original story. Under Lin Yun's deliberate arrangement, his strength far surpassed that of his peers—his Nine-Fold Thunder Blade had already reached the third level before joining the training camp, and his physical attributes had reached the level of a high-level warrior.
After awakening his mental power, he consumed the thousand-year-old ginseng wine given to him by Lin Yun, instantly elevating his physical abilities to those of a high-level warrior. His first cultivation of the Five Hearts Towards Heaven then propelled him directly to the level of a beginner-level warrior. Nearly a year and a half of training in the wilderness allowed him to rapidly reach the level of a high-level warrior, his mental power now equivalent to that of a mid-level war god.
With such strength, joining the elite training camp was a piece of cake. In the first month, just like Lin Yun back then, he directly broke into the top 100, ranking 54th. After that, he signed an SS-level genius training contract with the Limit Martial Arts Academy.
Thus, Luo Feng began a relentless series of challenges. In just two months, he met the first requirement of the martial arts school, earning him a reward of Dragon Blood and a complete set of SS-grade combat gear. After consuming the Dragon Blood, his physical attributes reached the level of an intermediate-level War God, while his mental power reached the level of an "Invincible War God."
"Invincible War God"—that's the title for someone whose mental power has reached the peak of the War God level. Lin Yun also received this title back then.
Afterwards, Luo Feng went to the Australian continent for a life-or-death adventure. Without the spirits of the trees and plants of Fog Island, and without Li Yao's pursuit as in the original story, his experiences were still thrilling. Lin Yun knew that with Luo Feng's abilities and luck, he would be fine.
Sure enough, six months later, Luo Feng returned from the Australian continent, his strength having improved even further.
The "Invincible War God's" strength was no longer suitable for him to remain in the training camp. Hong personally ordered the appointment of Luo Feng as the Inspector of Jiangnan Base City—to replace the position vacated by Lin Yun.
"Congratulations, Luo Feng," Lin Yun said to Luo Feng over the phone.
"What's there to congratulate me on?" Luo Feng said with a wry smile. "I'm just picking up the leftovers from behind you."
"What do you mean by 'leftovers'?" Lin Yun laughed. "I gave you the position of Inspector; others would love to have it."
Luo Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Lin Yun, thank you."
"No need to thank me," Lin Yun said. "Just focus on your cultivation and don't embarrass me."
"it is good."
2056 9 Month 29 Day.
Luo Feng travels to Ancient Civilization Site No. 9 to participate in the annual site trial.
Lin Yun knew that with Luo Feng's strength, the ordinary B-type passage would be no challenge for him. However, Luo Feng's mental power talent was too strong. According to the original story, he would be led into the elite passage by Babata to receive the true inheritance of Meteorite Star.
Three months have passed.
Luo Feng did not come out.
The headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy announced Luo Feng's death. When the news reached Jiangnan Base City, Luo Feng's parents were devastated.
Lin Yun went to Luo Feng's house in person.
"Uncle, Aunt, Luo Feng is not dead." Lin Yun said to Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan while sitting in the living room, "He is undergoing a special test in the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic, which will take a long time. I assure you, he will come out alive."
"Really?" Gong Xinlan's voice trembled.
"Really," Lin Yun said. "I promise you."
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan exchanged a glance and ultimately chose to believe Lin Yun. They knew that Lin Yun and Luo Feng had grown up together and were closer than brothers. He wouldn't lie to them.
Lin Yun spent the whole day at Luo Feng's house, comforting Luo Hua and reassuring Luo Feng's parents.
"Brother Lin Yun, will my brother really come back?" Luo Hua sat on the sofa, looking up at Lin Yun.
"Yes, he will." Lin Yun crouched down and patted Luo Hua on the shoulder. "When he comes back, he will be even stronger."
Luo Hua nodded vigorously.
2057 10 Month 29 Day.
At the exit of the No. 9 ancient civilization site, a familiar figure walked out of the passage.
Luo Feng.
He spent one year and one month in the ruins.
When the news reached the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, the entire leadership was shaken. Lin Yun was the first to survive after spending so much time in the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, and Luo Feng was the second.
Lin Yun went to pick him up personally.
"How's it going? Aren't you happy? Feeling like you've finally surpassed me once?" Lin Yun stood at the exit, looking at Luo Feng as he walked out, and teased him.
Luo Feng wore a black combat suit that emitted a faint, eerie glow—it was the Black God Suit. His aura was more than one level stronger than it had been a year ago, and his mental energy fluctuations were deep and solid, clearly indicating that he had reached the planetary level.
"No, no..." Luo Feng quickly waved his hand, but a smile he couldn't hide was on his face. "Why should we be so formal? We're the only two members on the entire Meteorite Star right now."
Meteorite Star. Luo Feng indeed obtained the true inheritance of Meteorite Star.
Lin Yun looked at Luo Feng, feeling a surge of emotion. No wonder he was the chosen one of the world; these opportunities were clearly prepared for him. There was a reason Babata had chosen him.
"Alright, stop pretending." Lin Yun smiled. "I saw through your strength at a glance. You're a first-tier planetary-level mentalist, still a bit lacking in martial arts cultivation. But with your talent, you'll catch up in no time."
Luo Feng chuckled and did not deny it.
"Lin Yun, I am in the ruins..." Luo Feng wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"Did that crystal man tell you?" Lin Yun asked.
Luo Feng was taken aback: "You knew?"
"Of course I know," Lin Yun said. "When I went in, that bald crystal man mentioned it to me. He said the true successor of Meteorite Star hasn't appeared yet, and asked me to help him out in the future. I guessed then that it was you."
As he spoke, Lin Yun took out a silver-white shuttle-shaped weapon from his spatial ring.
Escape from Tissot.
"Lin Yun, this Sky-Escape Shuttle..." Luo Feng looked at the Sky-Escape Shuttle in Lin Yun's hand, his eyes somewhat complicated. "The crystal man in the ruins said that this set of psychic weapons is in your hands. He also suggested that I find a way to get it back from you, otherwise the Sky-Escape Secret Technique cannot unleash its full power."
"Then why didn't you ask me for it?" Lin Yun asked.
"How could I possibly ask you for anything!" Luo Feng exclaimed anxiously. "You've helped me so much; if I were to ask you for something again, would I even be human?"
Lin Yun smiled.
He gently tossed the Sky Shuttle to Luo Feng.
"then."
Luo Feng instinctively caught the Sky Shuttle, then stared in disbelief at the weapon in his hand.
"Lin Yun, this..."
"Alright, stop being so sentimental." Lin Yun waved his hand. "In my hands, this thing is only good as a throwing knife, and not even as good as a throwing knife. It only shows its true power in your hands. Take it."
Luo Feng gripped the Sky-Escape Shuttle, his fingers trembling slightly. He knew this was no ordinary telekinetic weapon—it was a treasure left to its successor by the master of Meteorite Star, the core of the Sky-Escape Secret Technique.
"Lin Yun..." Luo Feng's voice was choked with emotion.
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Yun turned around. "You should break through to the planetary level in martial arts cultivation as soon as possible. Otherwise, with your strength, tsk tsk... don't tell anyone you're my brother when you go out."
Luo Feng took a deep breath and put the Sky Shuttle into his spatial ring.
"Okay. I won't let you down."
The two walked out of the ruins site side by side.
The sun shines warmly on my skin. The sky in the distance is a clear, deep blue, with a few white clouds drifting lazily by.
"Luo Feng, what are you planning to do next?" Lin Yun asked.
"Let's go back and see Mom, Dad, and Luo Hua first," Luo Feng said. "Then...we'll go to the wilderness area and continue our cultivation."
"Hmm." Lin Yun nodded. "Cultivate diligently; this level of cultivation is far from enough!"
"I know."
The two looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
Lin Yun transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon. Luo Feng stood there, watching the direction Lin Yun had disappeared in, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
"Brother..." he murmured.
Then he turned around and flew towards home.
Lin Yun flew at high speed through the air, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Luo Feng has received the true inheritance of Meteorite Star, and his future is limitless. The Golden Horned Beast, the Meteorite Starship, the Immortal Legacy... all of these things will belong to Luo Feng.
And what about him? Where does his path lie?
"Perhaps, there's no need to overthink it," Lin Yun said to himself.
He can comprehend these four laws—metal, wood, time, and space—through the Devouring Star World. Although the progress will be slow, at least it's not entirely hopeless.
Moreover, he has another advantage—the laws of the two worlds corroborate each other. After he becomes a god in the Panlong world, his understanding of the laws will reach a new level, and it may be much easier for him to comprehend metal, wood, time, and space at that time.
"The road ahead is long, no rush."
Lin Yun accelerated and disappeared into the horizon.
Behind him, Luo Feng will begin his own legend.
