Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 121 The Sparring Between Shen Ping and Luo Feng

Six months later.

Heilongshan Island.

Inside the pavilion in Jiuxingwan residential area.

It was a rare occasion for Shen Ping, Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong to gather together. The table was laden with fruits and wine, and An Xueyi and Xu Xin were also there, listening to their casual conversation.

"Since leaving Earth, I have followed my teacher, the Time Realm Master, to visit several Immortals and even some at the peak of the Realm Master level. I have witnessed the magnificence of the universe and various races and civilizations. Some planets are still in the primitive stage, while others are similar to our ancient China. However, whether it is a primitive planet or an ancient one, there are strong people and cultivation methods that tap into the potential of the human body."

Hong laughed and said, "I suspect that our Earth once had a glorious era, with figures like Lao Tzu, Xuanyuan, and Chiyou, who were definitely powerful. It's just that later, for some reason, those powerful figures disappeared."

Shen Ping agreed, saying, "The world of mountains and seas is probably not just a fantasy of primitive people. It's very likely that the powerful beings of the mountains and seas are real, capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon, and overturning mountains and seas. But no matter what happened, our generation has a renewed opportunity to rise up."

Hong nodded and looked at Shen Ping and Luo Feng, "Let's not talk about me. You guys have made quite a bit of progress in the past two years, haven't you?"

Luo Feng smiled and said, "It's alright."

Thor grinned and couldn't help but say, "Luo Feng, you're doing alright, you must have improved a lot. You made it into the top ten in the Genius Finals, are you confident you can beat Shen Ping now?"

Luo Feng was speechless. "Defeat the gym leader? Thor, you really think highly of me. Besides, I can improve, but the gym leader improves even faster, right, gym leader?"

Shen Ping rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You two are working together, trying to trick me into telling you something."

Luo Feng chuckled, "Master, in the Genius Finals, no one has had a chance to fight you in the ring, so naturally they're very curious. Besides, there are Immortal Teachers stationed in the Primitive District Manor every day, so how could you not improve!"

Hear this.

Shen Ping smiled wryly, "You have indeed made some progress."

Under the guidance of the Flame King, he made great progress in swordsmanship. When he used the Flame God Blade, he no longer felt stiff and rigid. Moreover, the entire swordsmanship flowed smoothly and naturally, and even when combined with the laws of space, he could achieve a very natural integration.

Apart from that.

That is, the comprehension of the two fundamental laws of fire and space.

After his fire talent transformed to the level of one in ten thousand eras, his comprehension was so rapid that it could be described as progressing a thousand miles a day. In just half a year, he was able to fully unleash the fifth level of the Flame God Blade, the Fiery Tree and Silver Flowers, in terms of the fundamental laws of fire.

Most realm lords are at this level.

The speed at which the fundamental laws of space are improving is also quite fast. Now it can unleash more than 500 illusory bodies, which is not far from the more than 1,000 illusory bodies that Bolan unleashed in the Trial Tower.

This is only an understanding of the laws.

The fusion of the Fire and Sky Beast Gods undoubtedly provides the greatest boost.

After fully digesting all the Beast God concepts he had accumulated, he was able to copy all the scales of the small Beast God statue in the Fire Sky even without relying on his Beast God talent.

This signifies a significant qualitative improvement in his understanding of the laws governing the fusion of beast gods.

If one practices related secret techniques.

Shen Ping believed that he could master the basics in a short time and unleash the true power of the Beast God Fusion Law.

However, he knew that all his current strength was actually the result of the family's reputation during the peak genius battle, as well as the rewards accumulated from the family's industries, foundation, and descendants. Going forward, it would be unlikely to improve his strength so quickly and significantly.

After all, besides having children and offspring.

In the other three aspects, such as the family foundation and the family reputation, the family business has reached a prosperous level. As early as last year, the family business established branches in various star regions of the Qianwu Universe, and the overall scale exceeded thousands of Hunyuan units, thus winning the family prosperity evaluation in one fell swoop.

Based on these foundations.

If you continue to improve, then the difficulty will be quite high.

Luo Feng couldn't help but say, "Master, I've been wanting to spar with you for a long time. Why don't we take this opportunity to go to the killing arena and have a match?"

Hong and Thor's eyes lit up.

They were also eager to know just how strong Shen Ping had become.

"Okay, no problem."

The four of them immediately went to the killing field.

An Xueyi, Brolin, Xu Xin, and other women also joined in to watch the excitement.

The Killing Arena Hall.

When Manluo saw Shen Ping and the others, a smile appeared on his face. He sat in the corner of the hall without moving. When he invested in Shen Ping, he gave him treasures from the Realm Within a Realm, which made many big shots in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom envious. Even the big shots in the Martial Department of the Virtual Universe Company were envious, and some big shots even took the opportunity to win him over.

After all, although the news of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler rewarding Shen Ping had not spread, some important figures already knew about it, especially the giants of the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company, who had also heard some news about how much the Nine Swords Venerable valued Shen Ping.

Therefore, even though Shen Ping has not yet fully matured, the invisible network of connections he has built based solely on his potential has brought Manluo many benefits.

In the past, how could an immortal like him have been recruited by the Qianwu branch?

"This little one is so radiant! I hope he grows up smoothly!"

Manluo knew in her heart that if a genius like Shen Ping grew up, he would definitely become a powerful figure among the immortals.

……

The final battleground of the killing arena.

Black metal arena.

Two figures stood facing each other.

This wasn't their first time sparring, but it was their first real encounter.

Luo Feng looked at Shen Ping, wanting to say that he should use his full strength, but he swallowed the words back. He knew that if Shen Ping used his full strength, he might not even be able to withstand a single blow.

"The curator."

"Apart from that final sword technique in the Trial Tower, please use your full strength for the rest!"

Hear this.

Shen Ping smiled wryly, "Then you'd better be careful!"

After speaking, he remained motionless.

Luo Feng, however, was on high alert. He manipulated the Divine Weapon while simultaneously controlling the fifth-tier psychic weapon, the Dark Cloud Shuttle, to distance himself from Shen Ping.

really.

Just as he dodged, Shen Ping appeared in the spot where he had been standing.

"That burst of speed is terrifying!"

As Luo Feng was shocked, the Divine Weapon quickly formed an incredibly realistic golden sword and stabbed towards Shen Ping. This strike was the Heaven-Piercing Strike.

Unlike his final battle against Long Yun in the Peak Genius Battle, this time he displayed the Sky Piercing Technique with unparalleled skill. The golden sword he wielded showed no signs of assembly, clearly indicating that he had completely mastered this technique in the past two and a half years.

call out.

The golden sword, over a foot long, attacked with incredible speed. The instant Shen Ping revealed his movement technique, it transformed into a streak of golden light and pierced forward like lightning.

The Controller's mental attack already has an advantage, and under Luo Feng's command, it is even faster.

Shen Ping couldn't dodge immediately, but he didn't intend to. He slashed straight at the golden sword with the Flame God Blade in his hand. From the moment he reacted to the moment he drew his blade, the process was even faster than the speed of the golden sword's attack.

"As expected, Babata said that the master's understanding of the two fundamental laws of fire and air has reached an incredible level, and his control level is much higher than mine. Even Rong Jun does not have such a fast sword."

Dangdang Dangdang!

The golden sword and the Flame God Blade clashed repeatedly.

With each collision, the distance between the two shrinks.

Even though Luo Feng's movement technique in controlling the Dark Cloud Shuttle was already very fast, and he had been focusing on cultivating his movement technique for the past two years, he was still far inferior to Shen Ping, who could unleash more than 500 illusory bodies and had digested and absorbed the profound mysteries of the 62nd spatial essence.

It can be said that if Shen Ping hadn't had too much time to combine the profound mysteries of space with the fundamental laws of space, Luo Feng would have been defeated long ago.

Bang!

Once again, the golden sword was repelled.

Shen Ping appeared in front of Luo Feng.

Luo Feng reacted extremely quickly, immediately using the sword technique from the "Shadow Codex" to dodge with unpredictable movements. However, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and Shen Ping caught up with him in the next moment, ending the sparring match with a single strike.

Back to the Killing Hall.

Luo Feng smiled wryly and said, "Master, you're a freak. We both use the same spatial origin law to unleash our movement techniques, but your speed is several times faster than mine, and I can sense that you haven't fully utilized your techniques."

Shen Ping laughed heartily, "Luo Feng, now you know the difference, right?"

"understood."

"I will never spar with you again, Master."

Luo Feng said helplessly.

Hong and Lei Shen sighed, "We were utterly humiliated when we faced Luo Feng, but we never expected that Luo Feng would also be humiliated when facing you, Shen Ping."

The two of them had just been watching the match. Although it seemed like the two were evenly matched throughout, in reality, Shen Ping was basically the one dominating Luo Feng.

The group stayed in the lobby for a while before leaving.

Luo Feng returned to the Taichu District of Yuxiang Mountain to continue honing his skills. After this exchange with Shen Ping, all the joy he had felt from his progress over the past two and a half years vanished, and he fully realized the huge gap between himself and Shen Ping.

"Babata, how come the gym leader's movements are so fast?"

"I've told you before that the foundation is very important. Now that you've reached the Nine Lines Flow level, you should be able to see how solid Shen Ping's movement technique foundation is. His movement technique is almost like moving along the arc of space."

Babata said seriously, "Starting today, you will go through all the previous training sessions again."

Luo Feng nodded emphatically.

……

Another six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

We've arrived at the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company.

This is a vast continent suspended in the cosmos, with a diameter exceeding tens of light-years. Anyone who visits for the first time will be deeply awestruck.

Shen Ping and Luo Feng were no exception.

Some sights can only be truly appreciated by experiencing them firsthand.

After stepping out of the hatch.

Luo Feng and his companion then parted ways with the two guides, Sha Wu and the others.

Then, led by a member of the Virtual Universe Company, we arrived at an incredibly dreamlike corridor. The surface of the corridor looked like a colorful nebula, and walking through it felt like being in the cosmos.

In the corridor.

There are personnel involved in the handover of items.

Items purchased by Luo Feng using his points are all transferred here.

Shen Ping also bought a lot of things, all of which were precious resources that could accelerate the improvement of the Flame Star Flower.

Following the corridor.

They soon arrived at an oval-shaped hall.

Many other geniuses had gathered in the hall, including Wuka, Longyun, Jiangmo, and Qianshui.

"Ha ha, butcher!"

"madman."

"You two really did come together."

As soon as Shen Ping and Luo Feng entered, many geniuses came up to greet them warmly. Even Bo Lan, who had a rather aloof personality, stood up to greet the two of them.
