Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 18 Rapid Improvement

"Forget it, since we are too poor, we can only rely on the system!" Jiang Ye said with a firm look.

There are still three years before the Genius Battle begins. I am now at the star level, which also represents the enlightenment function of the Jade Disc of Creation. I still have three chances, and I don’t know how much I can improve with these three chances.

Jiang Ye clenched his fists, then squatted on the ground and carefully read the contents of the secret book.

………………

One year later, in the killing field, an enormous floating island was suspended there.

On this floating island, thousands of figures in black armor were closely arranged, like a dark cloud covering the entire island. Each of them exuded a powerful aura, and they were undoubtedly first-level star warriors. These warriors' faces could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes as sharp as hawks.

Standing opposite the group of men in black was a young man wearing golden armor and holding a three-foot-long sword. He stood tall and straight, as dazzling as a bright star.

Suddenly, a low humming sound broke the silence. Thousands of black-clad men were seen flashing with all kinds of strange lights at the same time, some of which were red like blazing flames, while others turned into thunderous blue lightning...

These lights interweave together to form a colorful yet thrilling picture.

The young man raised his lips slightly, a hint of confidence flashed in his eyes. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if he couldn't wait to show its power.

With a long roar that pierced the clouds and split the rocks, the young man suddenly exerted force with his legs, and his body shot out like lightning, rushing into the dark camp of the group of men in black at an astonishing speed.

The long sword in his hand danced instantly, with heavy sword shadows. Every movement was clean and neat, with a resolute ruthlessness.

Sometimes he slashed horizontally, sometimes he thrust straight, and sometimes he slashed. Every swing of his sword carried a majestic momentum that seemed to break the sky, easily tearing through the enemy's seemingly solid defense. Under his sword, those men in black fell down one after another like fragile straws.

Soon, with the fall of the last man in black, the young man finally stopped the bloody killing.

He stood there quietly, looking at the corpses lying all over the ground with cold eyes. There was not even a trace of discomfort on the handsome face of the young man, as if all this was just a normal thing to him.

"It only took one year, and my strength has increased so much!" Jiang Ye looked at the sword tightly held in his hand, and an indescribable joy and satisfaction surged in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

However, Jiang Ye was not proud. After all, he knew that this was far from enough.

At my current state, let alone defeating Borlan, who ranked first in the genius battle, I am afraid I don’t even have the qualifications to enter the top 100 in the universe.

But soon a voice sounded, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"It's been a year, and I've finally waited for it again!" Jiang Ye felt the fluctuations in his mind, and felt excited. Then he closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the sea of ​​knowledge.

When his consciousness entered the sea of ​​consciousness, he saw the Jade Disc of Good Fortune suspended in the center at a glance. However, what surprised him was that the Jade Disc of Good Fortune this time seemed to be different from the last time.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye stared at the Jade Disc of Creation, with a hint of doubt on his face. At this moment, 10 rays of light of different colors appeared above the Jade Disc of Creation, interweaving together to form a colorful pattern.

Jiang Ye stared at the lights, trying to figure out their meaning. At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind: "Ding! Host, each of these ten light pillars represents a law. If you want to comprehend a law, you need to touch the corresponding light pillar."

Jiang Ye was immediately curious when he heard this. He thought for a moment, then carefully stretched out his hand and touched one of the red beams of light.

"Ding, reminding the host, there is only one chance to choose. If you touch the light column, you will be automatically selected!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye's hand, which was about to touch the light column, stopped in mid-air.

"No way! Then why didn't I have this the first time?"

He asked around.

"Ding, the first time is the default option!" The mechanical voice sounded again. Jiang Ye was speechless after hearing the system's answer.

Jiang Ye looked at the ten light pillars in front of him, and then eliminated the other seven lower-level laws except the law of the origin of wind!

Looking at the laws of time, space and wind, he showed a hint of hesitation, and then thought to himself: Should I choose the higher laws? However, the last time I comprehended it, I just barely stepped into the threshold of the law of wind.

The difficulty of comprehending the higher-level laws and the lower-level laws is as huge as heaven and earth.

I'm afraid that just one realization is not enough to cross the threshold of the higher laws.

Moreover, he did not have any secret books such as space and time, which was also a fatal flaw. After all, he only had the understanding of the laws, but was unable to use them flexibly. It would be fine if he faced an enemy with very different laws. But if the gap in the understanding of the laws between the two sides was not big, then it would be basically over.

"It seems that choosing a higher law to enhance strength is limited. It is better to strengthen the law of the origin of wind in these three years. Then, during the three-year reincarnation war, comprehend the law of space or time."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye's originally hesitant heart suddenly became firm. Without any hesitation, he reached out his hand resolutely to touch the mysterious and dazzling green light column.

At the moment when Jiang Ye's fingers touched it, a green airflow suddenly emerged from the green light column and rushed straight into Jiang Ye's sea of consciousness at lightning speed.

Jiang Ye only felt an indescribable feeling of coolness instantly spread throughout his body. At the same time, his consciousness began to gradually become blurred.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up again, he was shocked to find that he was in a very strange space.

There was a thick green airflow everywhere, as if one was in a vast ocean of wind.

Jiang Ye widened his bright eyes, which were full of astonishment and obsession. He stared at the air currents that seemed to possess endless mysteries and infinite changes without moving.

Those air currents seemed to be the most magical existence between heaven and earth, emitting a unique charm that was elusive yet extremely attractive. For a moment, Jiang Ye seemed to be under a spell, and he was involuntarily deeply immersed in it. It was completely difficult to extricate himself from this intoxicated state, as if his soul had been pulled and bound by these air currents.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but in the quiet training room, Jiang Ye's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze first fell somewhat confusedly on the Suifeng sword standing quietly beside him, and then, as if he came to his senses, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, grasped the hilt tightly, and suddenly pulled the sword out of the scabbard.

With a flash of cold light, Jiang Ye began to recall the moves in the secret book, and the sword in his hand began to dance.

With every change of moves, Jiang Ye could feel very clearly that his understanding of the mysterious law of the origin of wind was deepening at an incredible speed.

As his movements became faster and faster, the sword energy became more and more fierce. When he danced to the last sword, an incomparably powerful sword energy suddenly shot out, roaring like a violent dragon, and slashed straight at the extremely solid alloy wall on the side.

With a loud bang, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the originally flat and smooth alloy wall. The jagged edges showed the powerful force of this blow.

Fortunately, because of the blocking of the thick metal wall, the surging sword energy did not cause too much damage to the courtyard outside, and everything was still within controllable range.

"Swish, swish!" At this time, several figures came to Jiang Ye and shouted in unison.

"Owner!"

These people were some of the slaves that Jiang Ye bought.

The slaves were shocked when they saw the cracks on the wall, because the wall of the training room was made of C9 grade alloy.

Jiang Ye stood there quietly and said calmly, "Fix this place!"

"Yes!"
