Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 103 Wealth and Points, a Bottleneck in Cultivation [Third Update]

Luo Yun connected to the virtual universe network and found the book "Instant Rain Sword".

"I originally had 30,000 points," Luo Yun silently calculated in his mind.

"I spent 4,000 points to purchase the Immortal-class mechanical spaceship and the Nine Universes Illusionary Mist, and I have 26,000 points left."

"Then, there's the reward for crossing the Sky Bridge."

The first level rewards 100 points.

The second level rewards 200 points.

The third level rewards 400 points.

The fourth level rewards 800 points.

In total, that's 1,500 points.

"Since this is my first time in Chaos City, this reward can be doubled tenfold."

1,500 points, multiplied by 10, equals 15,000 points!

This is a huge sum of money.

"So, I now have a total of 26,000 points, plus 15,000, for a total of 41,000 points."

Having calculated his own assets, Luo Yun felt more confident.

He directly entered the three words "Instant Rain Sword" into the search bar of the virtual universe store.

Soon, detailed information about a secret technique popped up.

【"Instant Rain Sword," a fundamental close-combat secret technique of the Nine Universe School, consisting of thirteen forms.】

Below are the exchange rates.

First step: 200 points.

Second method: 400 points.

Third move: 800 points.

Fourth formula: 1600 points.

Fifth move: 3200 points.

The price of each item is twice that of the previous one.

Luo Yun's gaze swept over the description of the secret technique.

-

"Once the fifth move is mastered, its power will be sufficient to pass through the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge." Luo Yun saw the key line of description.

The bridge to heaven is on its tenth floor!

That's a very distant goal for him now.

"That's enough." Luo Yun made a decision instantly. "Don't bite off more than you can chew. It's most important to thoroughly understand the first five techniques first."

He quickly did the calculations.

第一式到第五式，全部兑换下来，一共需要：200+400+800+1600+3200=

6200 points.

This expense was just a drop in the ocean for him.

"Exchange for the first five forms of the 'Instant Rain Sword'," he ordered.

[Confirm redemption?]

"confirm."

boom!

As points were deducted, a massive flow of information instantly flooded into Luo Yun's consciousness.

Those were the cultivation methods for the first five forms of the "Instant Rain Sword." From the techniques of exerting force to the subtle application of spatial laws, and the variations of each move, everything was clearly imprinted in his mind.

Luo Yun's account balance instantly dropped from 41,000 to 34,800.

But he didn't care at all.

Points are used to improve your strength.

Inside the exclusive training ground of Yuxiang Mountain.

He stood quietly, the information of the first five moves of the "Instant Rain Sword" slowly flowing through his mind, being quickly digested by him.

This sword technique is directly inherited from the insights gained from the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

The first move is called "Silk Rain".

This technique is fundamental, emphasizing the ultimate application of a single point.

When drawing the sword, the trajectory of the sword tip should be like a falling raindrop, silent and precise.

It requires the user to have a keen sense of space, enabling the sword tip to strike the enemy's weakest point at the most unbelievable angle.

The second move is called "Continuous Rain".

After mastering the "points", the next step is the "lines".

The "Continuous Rain" technique requires sword strikes to be continuous, like a continuous rain in summer.

There was no pause between each sword strike; the force of the previous strike became the starting point for the next.

The sword light intertwined into a net, leaving the enemy with nowhere to hide.

The third move is called "Sudden Rain".

This move emphasizes explosive power, like a sudden downpour from a clear sky.

The sword strikes were no longer continuous, but rather bursts of dozens or even hundreds of sword lights in an instant.

Each sword light contains the essence of the first move, "Silk Rain," delivering a comprehensive attack on an area in an extremely short time.

The fourth move is called "Rainstorm".

When the sword is drawn, the sword's momentum is like a raging storm, overwhelming everything. It not only attacks the enemy's body, but also uses its unstoppable momentum to crush the enemy's will.

The fifth move is called "Rain and Mist".

This move is an elevation of the previous four. The sword techniques become elusive, like the morning mist, formless and shapeless.

The sword light sometimes condensed and sometimes dissipated, its trajectory completely unpredictable.

What the enemy sees and what you actually attack are two completely different locations.

These five sword techniques progress step by step, from basic to advanced, with a very clear logic.

He stretched out his hand.

A very ordinary beginner's alloy sword appeared in his hand.

He didn't start practicing immediately, but instead closed his eyes and mentally simulated the trajectory of the first move, "Silk Rain," over and over again.

Time passed by day by day.

Luo Yun's life became incredibly regular.

He meticulously divided his time each day into three parts.

One-third of my time was spent cultivating the Nine Universe Illusionary Mist.

He sat cross-legged in meditation, sensing the fusion of the essence of water and the essence of space, making the misty force field around him more solid and unpredictable.

He spent the other third of his time perfecting the moves in "Tears of the Galaxy".

Especially the fourth move, "Dongxu".

That is an ultimate penetrating attack that concentrates the power of 108 blades into a single point, which is similar to the first move of the "Instant Rain Sword", "Silk Rain".

He spent the rest of his time practicing the "Instant Rain Sword".

These three factors are theoretically mutually reinforcing.

"Nine Universes of Illusory Mist" is a macroscopic understanding of the laws.

"Tears of the Galaxy" is a remote control of the laws.

"Instant Rain Sword" is a close-range application of the law.

At their core, they are all the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, a combination of the laws of water and space.

Cultivating any one of these practices should help the other two.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the training ground.

Luo Yun sat cross-legged, and the mist around him had become visible to the naked eye, instead of being a thin layer at first.

The swirling fog distorted the light, making it impossible to see his figure clearly.

"Nine Universes of Illusory Mist" shows significant progress.

A thought crossed my mind.

The phantom images of 108 Star Tear Blades appeared in his mind, and he began to try to compress all his power into a single point. That ultimate sharpness began to condense, and although it was not yet stable, it had already taken shape.

He had only just begun to master the fourth move of "Tears of the Galaxy," "Void Penetration."

Only this sword technique.

Luo Yun stood up, picked up the alloy sword, and took a deep breath.

He recalled the key points of "Silk Rain," and with a swift movement, the longsword in his hand thrust out.

call out!

The sword tip sliced ​​through the air, producing a slight whooshing sound.

The movements were precise and fast.

However, Luo Yun's brows furrowed tightly.

wrong.

Something doesn't feel right.

This sword strike was simply fast and accurate.

It lacks the subtle, pervasive charm of a drizzle.

It was just a regular stab, only faster.

It's been three months.

Three whole months.

His "Instant Rain Sword" is still outside the threshold of the first move, not even qualifying as an entry-level skill.

He can do all the movements, but he just can't find that feeling.

Why?

Luo Yun stopped, stood still, and fell into deep thought.

"I have no problem comprehending the laws. The progress of 'Nine Universes Illusionary Mist' is proof of that."

"I have no problem applying the rules either. The progress of 'Tears of the Galaxy' is proof of that."

"They're both based on the laws of water and space, so why does it work for telekinetic weapons but not for close-quarters swordsmanship?"

He was puzzled.

It's like a mathematician who can solve the most complex equations but can't do a simple addition or subtraction problem.

This is absurd.

But he was genuinely stumped by the very first move of this most basic sword technique.

Luo Yun stood there, somewhat speechless.

That's impossible.

Is my melee talent really that bad?

Luo Yun didn't believe it.

He began to think about it carefully.

The understanding of the laws is the same. Whether it is "Nine Universes of Illusionary Mist" or "Tears of the Galaxy", the core is the fundamental law of water and the fundamental law of space.

He was able to apply this insight to his telekinetic weapons, continuously enhancing the power of "Tears of the Galaxy".

Why is it that when I switch to my own body and use a sword, I can't feel anything at all?

Where is the problem?

"Should we ask the teacher?" This thought flashed through Luo Yun's mind.

But he quickly dismissed the idea himself.

Teacher Black Mist King, also a controller, follows the path of a mentalist. She might not be able to give the most direct answer to the problem she herself is facing.

Huh?

Luo Yun suddenly thought of someone.

His own guardian, the immortal Monka!

He is a powerful martial artist, an expert in close combat. Asking him is the most appropriate thing to do.
