Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Killing Field

Thanks to Hong's efforts, Xiang Bei and his team had already recouped their investment in just a few battles.

With over 100 million Black Dragon Coins in hand, Xiang Bei and his team immediately had ample funds.

Of course, this is just the beginning. According to Xiang Bei's plan, Hong can earn at least several billion Black Dragon Coins before he encounters an opponent of equal strength, at which point the outcome will be unpredictable.

However, there probably aren't many opponents like that, since those who possess Hong's strength at the planetary level are practically elites cultivated by various factions.

Xiang Bei and Lei Shen also entered the fray, using 100 million Black Dragon Coins as the initial prize pool to lure their opponents into battle.

In fact, there are quite a few people in the entire dueling space who do what Hong and Xiang Bei did.

However, very few people can sweep away all opponents as easily as Hong and his team.

Only General Jia Yi, though willing to help, ultimately fell short in strength and therefore did not participate.

Time flies, and another ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past ten days, Hong has fought a total of 32 battles, and won every single one.

However, as time went on, the martial artists who fought against Hong became increasingly powerful, and now Hong had to take these opponents seriously.

If the fighting continues, it's likely that Hong's territory will be forced out.

Thor and Xiang Bei are not weak either.

Thor fought a total of 27 battles and didn't lose a single one. However, as his opponents became stronger, Thor had to go all out. Although he was still winning, he was finding it increasingly difficult. Now, the warriors who dared to challenge Thor were almost as strong as Thor himself.

As for Xiang Bei, without his own powerful physical strength and the effects of the Heart Steel, his strength in the virtual world has decreased significantly.

He was significantly weaker than Thor, but they still fought 23 battles, winning 21 and losing one.

However, Xiang Bei didn't care much. In martial arts battles, there are always winners and losers. Besides, Xiang Bei himself didn't gain nothing. After a great battle, the domain power that Xiang Bei had been unable to grasp seemed to have a momentary flash of inspiration.

It was very brief, almost a flash in the pan, so after that battle ended, Xiang Bei plunged headlong into the killing space of the killing arena.

Killspace can simulate any opponent you want.

It is even possible to create a martial artist who is exactly the same as oneself, but whose realm is a level higher.

It is used to learn from oneself and find a way to improve further.

It is a good place for martial artists to hone their combat experience, develop combat skills, and find a way forward.

After a flash of inspiration, Xiang Bei plunged into the killing space and created an opponent whose situation was almost exactly the same as his own, but who had reached the threshold of the first level of the Water Domain.

What followed was a relentless battle and slaughter.

It must be said that even those who have just entered the realm of power are extremely difficult to deal with. Xiang Bei tried his best to fight against him but was still suppressed by his opponent at every turn. In the end, he was pierced through the chest by the opponent he created.

However, in Killing Space, Xiang Bei can keep fighting as long as his renewal time is not yet up, and he can resurrect infinitely.

After being killed by his opponent, Xiang Bei immediately revived and fought him again.

The two halberds clashed in the air from time to time, and one man seemed to be transformed into a stream of water, sometimes fierce and domineering, sometimes with undercurrents.

One person seemed to have transformed the entire area around him into a body of water, and he controlled all the surrounding power, including Xiang Bei's attack. Not only was it easily neutralized and absorbed by the opponent, but it was even guided back to him.

"Clang clang"

After more than a dozen moves, Xiang Bei's neck was once again slashed open by his opponent, and his head was separated from his body.

"Whoosh!"

Upon his third resurrection, Xiang Bei's eyes shone even brighter.

In the instant before his death, Xiang Bei once again grasped a fleeting glimmer of inspiration.

Without hesitation, Xiang Bei charged forward again, and the battle resumed, with the two figures locked in fierce combat.

This time, Xiang Bei lasted a few more moves than before, but he was still no match for the Phantom Man who had mastered the Water Domain.

After being defeated again, Xiang Bei paused for a moment to think before continuing the fight.

And so, back and forth, Xiang Bei continued to fight the phantom that had been created.

However, the duration of each battle was increasing, and the time Xiang Bei spent in deep thought with his eyes closed after each resurrection was also getting longer and longer.

Xiang Bei only stopped when the Killing Space sent him a notification that his one-day renewal had expired.

However, Xiang Bei, who had been fighting non-stop all day, showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, his eyes were bright and full of excitement.

After a day of continuous battles and trials, he felt that he had gradually grasped that spark of inspiration.

If he continues to hone his skills in this way, it won't be long before he successfully grasps the mysteries of the field.

And the other side

When Xiang Bei came out, Hong and Lei Shen were already waiting for him at their usual tavern.

"Hey Xiao Bei, you didn't just give up after being defeated once, did you? You haven't been around all day?" Inside the tavern, Thor raised his glass with one hand and said in a joking tone, seemingly in a particularly good mood.

"Am I that kind of person?!" Xiang Bei replied with a smile, completely unconcerned. "Second brother, you underestimate me! It's not like I haven't been defeated before."

Although Thor had wholeheartedly taught Xiang Bei for a period of time, Xiang Bei never formally became Thor's apprentice.

Moreover, in the universe, they all chose to conceal their respective identities.

To avoid causing trouble later.

Therefore, they usually address each other as brothers when they are outside.

"Brother Hong, Second Brother, I've seized that sliver of opportunity! I have a feeling that it won't be long before I can comprehend the true Water Domain!" Xiang Bei said excitedly.

"real!"

"good!"

Congratulations, Xiao Bei!

Hong and Thor immediately showed their delight. There are only a few people on Earth who can set foot in the universe, so naturally the stronger they are, the better.

"I thought it was already a great thing that Thor successfully mastered the lightning domain today, but I didn't expect to have two happy events today," Hong said happily.

"Second Brother has mastered the Lightning Domain!" Xiang Bei was immediately surprised and looked at the Thunder God with joy.

"Haha, it was also luck. You know I've been holding onto that sliver of opportunity for a long time, accumulating insights. But today I encountered a formidable opponent and almost lost. But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, I comprehended the Lightning Domain and turned the tables on my opponent. Hahaha!" Thor said, beaming with joy.
