Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 77: Gains from Seclusion

Exiting the instance, Su Jing couldn't help but purse his lips. He still hadn't beaten Hector. This guy was also a well-rounded genius, a martial artist just like himself. If Hector were an illusionist, that would be great. He was now the natural enemy of illusionists, and beating an illusionist would be as easy as a father beating his son.

He stopped thinking about these things. Anyway, he still had plenty of room for improvement. Once his laws improved, he would definitely be able to kill Hector and choose other dungeons to enter. Fortunately, no matter how much time passed in a dungeon, it was only a moment in reality. Otherwise, choosing which dungeons to enter would be a big problem. The dungeons he entered every day were helpful to him. Once his realm improved, those low-level dungeons would inevitably be eliminated by him. Moreover, there was another big problem in dungeons: he couldn't comprehend the laws. So, if he wanted to comprehend the laws, he still had to do so in reality. This meant that he only had one goal in reality: to improve his laws with all his might. The laws were the foundation of everything. A person with great strength might not necessarily have profound laws, but a person with profound understanding of the laws would definitely not be weak, and might even be exceptionally powerful.

In the Realm Lord World, above Su Jing's head, Eternal Star-level warriors who came for the assessment flew by. They were wary of each other, testing each other's cooperation, and battles broke out from time to time. But all of this had nothing to do with Su Jing, and none of it could affect him. The Eternal Star-level warriors fighting on the ground would never have imagined that there was a ruthless person underground who could slaughter the entire Realm Lord World.

Because of the existence of the dungeon system, Su Jing is destined to walk a different path from others. He does not need to venture into special places or secret realms. He only needs the system to generate dungeons. As time goes by, he will eventually complete the first clear, and his strength will naturally increase. Moreover, his strength and potential are far beyond what others can compare to.

Five days later, Su Jing, who had been in seclusion in the underground cave, opened his eyes. A flash of crimson lightning appeared in them. Two days ago, he had successfully obtained another Lightning Fruit. After consuming it, he began to comprehend the laws of lightning. In two days, he had successfully digested it. Originally, he had only comprehended a trace of the laws of lightning, but thanks to the effect of the Lightning Fruit, he had successfully crossed the threshold and taken another step forward.

This has brought him a significant leap forward, allowing him to take a major step on the path of the Laws. If he were to break through to the Realm Lord level now, the Laws aspect would no longer be a hurdle. Of course, he's still far from being a Realm Lord. No wonder the Thunder Fruit is a treasure that even Domain Lords fight over so fiercely. Any Domain Lord who has comprehended the Laws of Lightning can break through to the Realm Lord level without any other problems after using it. Now, the Thunder Fruit allows him to quickly advance beyond the early stages of his Laws of Lightning and reach a deeper level. With his increased comprehension of the Laws, his strength has also increased dramatically. The lightning Laws carried in his attacks are no longer just a trace, but a vast power of Laws. If he possessed even more powerful... Secret techniques, such as the compatible Immortal Lightning Law secret technique, could increase his current strength several times over. Unfortunately, he can't obtain such secret techniques right now unless he joins the Qianwu Dojo or other powerful forces. However, this requires vetting and demonstrating his background. Plus, it's not difficult to investigate his origins. If someone in the dojo has designs on his opportunity, he'll be like a lamb entering a tiger's den. In that time, he can develop more dungeons and still improve his combat power. He can then enter the core layer of the virtual universe in one step through the Genius Battle. The current difficulties are only temporary. After the Genius Battle, he won't be too much of a constraint.

Choosing the Radiant Realm dungeon, now that his strength had greatly increased, he naturally wanted to fight Hector to confirm his own power. Under the crimson sky, within the dungeon, Su Jing didn't hesitate the moment he entered, flying in one direction. He was already very familiar with this dungeon and naturally knew Hector's current location. After all, if he couldn't defeat this guy, killing more other ferocious beasts would be useless. Therefore, he had deliberately searched for his location beforehand. The changes within the dungeon were fixed; as long as he didn't interfere, he could always find Hector. A dozen minutes later, in… At a place where ferocious beasts gathered, Su Jing found Hector, who was currently attacking them. The reason was that there was a Bloodline Fruit there. Enemies meeting again, their eyes instantly turned red. Although Hector didn't know anything, Su Jing had already been killed by him more than ten times, so the hatred ran deep. Su Jing's figure blurred, and countless crimson lightning bolts surged around his body. The next moment, the crimson lightning combined into a lightning spear. Hector, who was harvesting ferocious beasts below, naturally felt the power of Su Jing's attack in the air and immediately stopped. He felt that it was completely unnecessary for a Bloodline Fruit!

"brother----"

Hector wanted to say something, but Su Jing was too lazy to waste words with him. His crimson lightning spear shot out suddenly, and at the same time, he disappeared into the air. Holding the Shattering Star Blade, he changed his figure and slashed at Hector. Hector could only passively defend himself. While cursing in his heart, he recalled whether he had offended Su Jing somewhere. Otherwise, why would he fight to the death without saying a word? Did he have too much life to waste?

Hector dodged while muttering to himself. Even dodging wasn't easy for him; the lightning spear contained a significant amount of lightning law power, which Su Jing could manipulate at will. He didn't aim to directly hit Hector, but only to disrupt him and create an opportunity for himself to attack. Hector's figure was ghostly, shifting with the position of the flames, but each time he changed, the lightning spear would close in. Hector dared not face the spear directly; he sensed considerable danger within this seemingly ordinary elemental polymer. Boom!

In the instant Hector dodged, Su Jing stopped maintaining the lightning spear and detonated it. Instantly, the power of the lightning law spread out, and the unprepared Hector was hit by the impact. Now! The opportunity has come!

Without hesitation, Su Jing seized the opportunity, stepped out from behind Hector, and slashed out with his sword!

This strike seemed unremarkable, accompanied only by a little lightning, but anyone who dared to face it head-on would instantly discover that it concealed a hidden power. Just then, a flaming blade appeared, blocking Su Jing's lightning strike—it was Hector!

He had been keeping a close eye on Su Jing's situation. After all, the Thunder Spear alone possessed such power, not to mention Su Jing himself, whose strength was definitely even greater. So when the Thunder Spear changed, he immediately noticed Su Jing's movements. Sure enough, Su Jing attacked. All he had to do was block the attack and then counterattack!
