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

Chapter 111 Is Ai Chen a Little Rich Girl? [Eleventh Update]

Virtual universe, a public duel space.

Luo Yun and Ai Chen stood facing each other.

Ai Chen was still wearing that white feather robe, with the pure white wings on her back gently unfurling, making her look holy and beautiful.

"Luo Yun, you make the first move," Ai Chen said softly, a slender silver longsword appearing in his hand.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave."

Luo Yun didn't hold back; what he needed was pressure.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly became focused.

"Instant Rain Sword", First Form: Silk Rain!

call out!

A silent sword light instantly pierced towards Ai Chen's throat.

However, Ai Chen simply swayed slightly, his wings leaving a blur, and easily dodged the sword.

too fast!

Luo Yun was startled, but his hands continued moving.

The second move: Continuous Rain!

Brush brush!

A dense array of sword lights enveloped Ai Chen like a rain curtain.

Ai Chen's expression remained calm as she gently swung her silver longsword.

Ding!

A crisp sound.

Her sword, like a beam of light, struck the core node of Luo Yun Sword Network with unparalleled precision.

In an instant, Luo Yun felt his continuous sword momentum suddenly stop.

Immediately afterward, Ai Chen appeared in front of him.

The silver longsword was already pressed against his brow. The icy touch sent a shiver through Luo Yun's consciousness.

He lost.

They lost completely, using only two moves from start to finish.

Luo Yun sheathed his sword and gave a wry smile, somewhat helpless.

The gap is too big.

"Don't be discouraged." Seeing Luo Yun's state, Ai Chen took the initiative to comfort her. "You've only just arrived in the Primal Secret Realm, and having the strength of the sixth level is already quite remarkable. The gap between our realms is too great, so it's normal for you to lose."

"I understand." Luo Yun nodded. "Thank you for your guidance."

"Your swordsmanship is very good, especially the transitions between moves, which are very smooth," Ai Chen said earnestly. "However, there's something missing from your swordsmanship."

"Let's go, I'll buy you a drink," Ai Chen invited. "We can chat over a drink."

Luo Yun paused for a moment, then smiled and agreed.

"it is good."

The two arrived at an open-air tavern next to the dueling arena.

Aichen ordered some of the Elven specialties, fruit wines and pastries, which tasted exactly the same in the virtual universe as in reality.

"Actually, your situation is somewhat similar to mine." Ai Chen picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and said, "I also cultivate both martial arts and mental cultivation."

Luo Yun was somewhat surprised.

"It's just that my talent as a mentalist is far inferior to yours," Ai Chen continued. "Your problem, just like what Lord Yu Huanghou said, lies in your style. Your swordsmanship is just swordsmanship; it hasn't developed into a style that belongs to you."

She looked at Luo Yun and patiently explained, "For example, my sword pursues ultimate speed, fast enough to tear everything apart—that's my power of light. The swordsmanship you just displayed had precision and fluidity, but it was scattered, not cohesive."

Luo Yun listened quietly, and Ai Chen's words made his previously vague feelings clearer.

He felt that he had grasped a bit of the direction.

Luo Yun stood up and said solemnly to Ai Chen, "Thank you for your guidance, Ai Chen. I feel much clearer now."

"It's nothing, we're just exchanging ideas." Ai Chen smiled and gently shook his head.

After this exchange, Luo Yun's impression of Ai Chen changed again.

This seemingly quiet and shy winged girl possesses such profound insights into swordsmanship.

Over the next month.

Luo Yun would invite Ai Chen to spar in the dueling arena almost every day.

Ai Chen did not refuse.

At first, Luo Yun couldn't last three moves against Ai Chen.

Half a month later, Luo Yun was able to barely withstand ten moves.

Another half month passed, and he was able to withstand thirty moves from Ai Chen's sword, which was as fast as light and shadow, without being defeated.

Every sparring session is an extreme test of pushing everyone to their limits.

Ai Chen's "Light Force" was extremely fast and extremely sharp, putting immense pressure on Luo Yun.

It was under this pressure that Luo Yun's understanding of the fourth move of the "Instant Rain Sword," "Rainstorm," deepened. Although he was still unable to unleash it, the "world-destroying power" was gradually taking shape in his mind.

On this day, the four people from the primeval secret realm were sitting around a beautiful open-air restaurant.

"Haha, Luo Yun, your progress is terrifying!" Jiang Mo picked up a glass of wine and laughed loudly. "It's only been a month, and you can already withstand thirty moves from Ai Chen. In a while, will you be the one dominating Ai Chen?"

"You flatter me, Brother Mo." Luo Yun smiled. "There's still a long way to go between Ai Chen and me."

"No need to be modest," Qian Shui said with a smile. "We all know Ai Chen's strength; her lightsaber is top-tier even among the Domain Lord level in the Primal Secret Realm. Your rapid progress is already remarkable."

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

The next qualifying battle for the Primal Realm is still a hundred years away.

By then, Jiang Mo, Qian Shui, and Ai Chen would have already broken through to the Domain Lord level. Therefore, they didn't have a direct competitive relationship with Luo Yun and naturally got along very well.

The group ate while exchanging their cultivation experiences.

Qian Shui looked at Luo Yun and suggested, "Luo Yun, I don't think you can just keep practicing hard. Sometimes you should go out and take on some cultivation missions issued by virtual universe companies. It's easier to find inspiration for a breakthrough in real combat. Besides, you can earn points by completing missions, which is a win-win situation."

Jiang Mo nodded in agreement: "That's right, you can never have too many points."

Luo Yun listened, but had his own plans in mind.

The cultivation mission was necessary, but he wanted to wait until his trump cards were stronger.

He thought it would be best to cultivate his "Jian Shou Bo" plant to the level of a world master before going to the world.

With a World Lord-level auxiliary life form present, his safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Although Luo Yun's thoughts were only revealed for a moment, they were noticed by Ai Chen, who was standing quietly beside her.

She looked at Luo Yun with her clear eyes and asked softly, "Luo Yun, are you short of points? Preparing for the adventure should require a lot of points, right?"

Luo Yun was taken aback, not expecting Ai Chen to be so perceptive. He nodded honestly, "Yes, there is still quite a bit to go."

"I have some more here, you can borrow them first," Ai Chen said directly.

Before Luo Yun could react, Jiang Mo and Qian Shui, who were standing to the side, were stunned.

Luo Yun was also somewhat surprised; this Ai Chen was actually a young, wealthy woman?

He really needed the points urgently, so he didn't refuse and said directly, "Okay, I'll borrow 150,000 points first, and I'll pay you back as soon as I earn the points."

"Okay." Ai Chen nodded gently and transferred 150,000 points to Luo Yun directly through the virtual universe system.

Jiang Mo, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape.

He remembered that he had his eye on a secret treasure last time, and he was just 30,000 points short of getting it, so he asked Ai Chen for help.

As it turned out, Ai Chen said he needed to use his own points too, so he didn't lend them to him.

How come when it came to Luo Yun, he lent out 150,000 points without even blinking?

However, although Jiang Mo had some doubts in his heart, he was not foolish enough to say it out loud. He just sullenly took a big gulp of wine.

Ai Chen's thoughts are actually very simple.

True friendship requires give and take; only then can it be called true friendship.

It's not just something we say.

Borrowing points can sometimes be a direct way to build closer relationships.

She could sense that Luo Yun's talent was unfathomable and that he would achieve extraordinary things in the future. Forging a good relationship now would benefit both her and the clan behind her.

Of course.

The main reason is that Ai Chen finds Luo Yun pleasing to the eye and feels comfortable around him.

Otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have lent out her points so easily to someone else.
