Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

Jiang Ming took out the five portions of [Planetary-level Chengjin Clan Essence Blood].

The essence blood was sealed in transparent crystal tubes, each only the size of a thumb, with a liquid gold-like color and fine golden light slowly flowing inside.

According to system information, the Chengjin race is a race in the universe that is naturally close to the laws of metal.

This so-called essence blood is not refined blood, but rather made by extracting the life essence of the Chengjin people. A drop of essence blood represents the life of a Chengjin person.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ming opened a vial, and the drop of golden essence blood seemed to float up automatically as if it were alive, merging into his brow.

In an instant, a sharp and immortal thought rushed into Jiang Ming's spiritual world!

Before my eyes appeared an endless metallic kingdom, where everything was made of different metals and operated according to the laws of 'metal'.

He could vaguely perceive many mysteries belonging to the metal element, such as "sharpness," "solidity," "extension," and "resonance."

[You have absorbed the essence of the Chengjin Clan (Planetary Level)]

[Your initial affinity for the fundamental laws of metal has slightly increased.]

[The ability to perceive metal-related energy has been slightly enhanced.]

As he absorbed the five portions of essence blood in sequence, the combined effect of this affinity and perception was very weak each time. Apart from feeling that the original energy in his body flowed more smoothly, Jiang Ming did not feel anything else.

Jiang Ming wasn't too surprised by this; the understanding of the laws was far beyond what an apprentice-level student could achieve.

Those at the planetary level who can access the realms are all true geniuses, and those who can access the laws are all exceptionally talented individuals.

As for the apprentice level?

Even those races that are naturally close to the laws of the Dao cannot come into contact with the laws at the apprentice level.

After all, they don't have a weak stage like the apprentice level.

Next is the [Spirit Crystal].

This is a strange, crystal-clear piece the size of a fingernail.

Jiang Ming pressed it close to his forehead, and the crystal transformed into a cool stream of air that flowed directly into the depths of his consciousness.

As if parched land had been nourished by sweet rain, Jiang Ming felt a significant leap in his thinking speed, memory, concentration, and even his subtle control over his own strength.

His strong mental strength not only makes him more efficient in learning and understanding, but also allows him to analyze the situation more calmly and control every bit of power more precisely in battle.

You have absorbed the Spirit Crystal.

[The soul's essence is nourished, and spiritual power is slightly enhanced.]

[Enhancement in comprehension, thinking speed, and concentration]

Finally, there were the three [Mid-Grade Minor Enlightenment Pills].

The elixir is pale blue with natural cloud-like patterns on its surface and emits a calming fragrance.

Jiang Ming took one pill.

The pill entered my stomach and transformed into a cool current that rushed straight to my mind.

There were no drastic changes, but Jiang Ming felt that his thinking had become more clear and lucid.

Some seemingly vague and ambiguous points from my previous cultivation now seem to have become clear in retrospect, and I have gained a deeper understanding of the second level of the "World Destruction" spear technique.

Physical talent can only play a key role in the early stages of a martial artist's career, while comprehension is the key to determining how fast and how far a martial artist can go.

[You have consumed 3 Medium-Grade Lesser Enlightenment Pills]

[Innate comprehension is permanently enhanced]

[The efficiency of comprehending cultivation techniques, combat skills, and laws has significantly improved.]

After completing all these basic upgrades, Jiang Ming turned his attention to the two most precious items he had gained: [Fragment of Law Enlightenment - Metal/Fire Element] and [One-Time Inheritance Illusion - 'Thousand Spears Flow' (Artistic Conception Level)].

"System notification: Using law fragments below the planetary level will have reduced effects... Although I am already a novice war god, my life level has not yet undergone genetic transformation to the planetary level, and my soul essence has not been transformed either."

Even if I comprehend the laws, with my current foundation, it would be difficult for me to apply them.

You can put it aside for now and use it after you reach the planetary level.

With that in mind, Jiang Ming immediately used all 20 of his apprentice-level card draws.

Body Tempering Pills x8 bottles

Basic Movement Technique Insight Fragment x2

1 Lesser Enlightenment Pill

Healing ointment x 6 boxes

Refined alloy ingots x3

.......

Looking at the card he had drawn, Jiang Ming frowned. His physical attributes had already reached the level of a War God, so the Body Tempering Pill was no longer of much use to him.

Jiang Ming estimated that he wouldn't even be able to use half of the eight bottles of Body Tempering Pills before they completely lost their effectiveness.

The basic movement technique comprehension fragments are similar; Jiang Ming's movement technique has reached the perfect level, which is close to the limit of the apprentice level.

For an apprentice-level practitioner, a movement technique at the realm of artistic conception is, to some extent, a breakthrough level.

Generally, only planetary-level martial artists can comprehend the realm-level movement techniques and weapon skills.

These two fragments were of negligible use to Jiang Ming.

Unusable cards can be disassembled and converted into 'Source Energy Dust'.

Applications of Energy Crystal Dust:

1. Can be used to enhance cards (improve card quality or effects)

2. Can be directly absorbed, slightly improving physical or mental well-being.

[Decomposition Ratio:]

Apprentice-level cards → 1~10 units of Source Energy Dust (depending on card quality)

Planetary-level cards → 50~500 units of Source Dust

Higher levels are not yet unlocked.

[Enhancement Ratio: Enhancing an Apprentice-level card to Planet-level requires 10000 units of Source Dust]

Seemingly sensing Jiang Ming's thoughts, a prompt appeared before Jiang Ming's eyes.

"Can useless cards be dismantled and used for upgrades?"

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up immediately. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about wasting any useless cards he drew in the future.

After improving your strength, it becomes relatively easy to increase your regional legendary status, and even your planetary legendary status.

After all, in the future, on the interstellar stage, even a seemingly insignificant little thing can earn you a massive amount of legendary points.

"good."

Jiang Ming smiled with satisfaction, and then took both of the low-grade Lesser Enlightenment Pills.

The effects of the low-grade Lesser Enlightenment Pill on Jiang Ming were not as noticeable as those of the mid-grade pill, but as long as it was effective, Jiang Ming did not mind.

Jiang Ming can never have too much comprehension.

"Next up is the 'Inheritance Illusion'."

Jiang Ming took out the silver card.

The front of the card depicts a spear piercing the void, while the back is covered with dense ancient text.

"activation."

The card transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the space between the eyebrows.

In an instant, Jiang Ming's vision went black, and when it came back to light, he found himself in a vast, ancient battlefield.

The sky was overcast, the earth was cracked, and corpses littered the ground.

An old general, dressed in tattered armor and with white hair, stood atop a mountain of corpses, holding a blood-stained spear.

He looked at Jiang Ming, his eyes weathered yet sharp as an eagle's.

"My name is Li Qianjue, and I am known as the Grandmaster of the Thousand Spears Style. I have practiced for 873 years and created 999 spear techniques, but I have never reached the state of unifying the thousand spears."

"I hope that those who come after me will continue my teachings."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old general's figure vanished, turning into countless points of light.

The points of light converged into figures wielding guns, demonstrating gun techniques before Jiang Ming's eyes.

First move, second move, third move...

From basic thrusting and parrying to complex combos, from single-handed attacks to group combat and hit-and-run tactics...

Nine hundred and ninety-nine spear techniques unfolded like a vast galaxy.

Jiang Ming was completely absorbed in it, his consciousness flowing, comprehending, and integrating with each spear technique.
