Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses.

Chapter 15 Talent

Despite being described as a common civilian item, and a virtual item purchased in the virtual universe, it still cost nearly a billion Morning Star Coins in an instant.

The price is anything but affordable.

Logically speaking, Hunzhen could have used a simulation record to check his talent, saving that money.

Even if Hunzhen gives himself a suggestion before the simulation, the simulation record will only provide a rough estimate of the information.

Hunzhen only knew that he had the strongest talent in the laws of wind and fire, but no talent in the two superior laws of time and space, but he didn't know the specific values.

After all, it's just testing talent, not changing it.

On a ten-year scale, such "minor matters" cannot leave a very strong impression on the simulated human, and therefore cannot leave a complete and detailed record.

Just like when Hunzhen tried to use simulation to find the location of the Mind Helmet on Black Jade Star in advance, the scope he finally locked onto was only the rewards from missions with "limited time" and "limited mission star rating".

Now, Hunzhen has finally glimpsed the truth of his innate talent.

That was a series of talent indices measured by numerical values.

……

Gold: 10

Wood: 11

Water: 12

Fire: 18

Earth: 10

Wind: 51

Ray: 11

Light: 12

Space: 6

Time: 23:47

……

These numerical values ​​determine whether an individual exists below the Realm Lord level. (1-9) indicates that the individual basically lacks talent and is unlikely to be recognized by the Origin Law; (10-49) indicates that the individual has decent talent and a small probability of being recognized by the Origin Law; (50-99) indicates that the individual has excellent talent and a moderate probability of being recognized by the Origin Law; (100-999) indicates that the individual has exceptional talent and a relatively high probability of being recognized by the Origin Law; and (above 1000) indicates that the individual will almost certainly be recognized by the Origin Law.

Each point represents one point of efficiency; that is, 10 points of talent comprehension speed is ten times that of 1 point, and 100 points is ten times that of 10.

But talent determines not only efficiency, but also the upper limit.

The difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks varies among individuals with different aptitudes. Those with poor talent find it almost impossible to even reach the level of true meaning, while those with the best talent can fully comprehend the fundamental laws without any bottlenecks.

The former spent a century before reaching the bottleneck of true meaning, and to break through it requires even more favorable timing, location, and human factors, taking a century or even a millennium. For the latter, however, he might reach the same progress in a single day. As for the bottleneck? He wouldn't even be aware that he had ever experienced one, and he might even skip the step of true meaning altogether, accumulating enough experience to directly cross the threshold of laws.

The difference between people is truly greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Among the ninth and tenth rank bloodlines of the human race, the vast majority of individuals have a talent value of 1 point or less (decimals omitted), while the eighth rank bloodline mostly hovers around single digits. A talent like Hunzhen's is undoubtedly that of a genius within the race.

Of course, don't be fooled by the high numerical value of the Hunzhen Wind-type talent; it's actually just an inflated figure.

Because the Hunjing Stone cannot judge "innate talent," it only quantifies the efficiency of your current understanding of a certain fundamental law.

When a genetically engineered martial artist breaks through to the planetary level, they will naturally gain a special ability, which is actually an enhancement of their innate talent in a certain aspect of the fundamental laws based on their understanding of the true meaning of the martial artist.

In addition, Hunzhen has spent many years comprehending the true meaning of wind, and has successively completed the integration of the four elements of primal force, mental power, willpower, and physical strength to enter the domain realm. Now, his efficiency in comprehending the laws of wind is naturally on a completely different level compared to when he first started cultivating.

If he had used the Chaos Stone before he began cultivating, the numerical value probably wouldn't have been much higher than that of the fire element.

"In the realm of space and time, is it really my forte that lies in space itself?"

Hunzhen focused his attention on the last part of the information provided by Hunjingshi.

Even though it was expected, Hunzhen still couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The difficulty of comprehending higher-level laws is naturally far greater than that of comprehending lower-level laws.

For humans, the probability of having the aptitude for the time system is far lower than that for the space system.

In the original work, among the first twenty chapters of the Genius Battle, nine were explicitly stated to be about cultivating spatial laws, and six about cultivating time laws. The number of cultivation time laws was clearly slightly less.

Humans exist in space and are aware of its existence, but most are unaware of the passage of time until later, and can only perceive its existence through explicit records.

Therefore, it is understandable that research time is more difficult for humans.

When comprehending higher-level principles is inefficient, the best approach to conduct research is to first comprehend the corresponding lower-level principles, using them as a bridge and springboard to comprehend the higher-level principles.

Only a very few exceptions, like Bolan, possessed a level of understanding of the laws of space that was probably on par with the five lower-level laws, enabling them to directly study the laws of space.

Hunzhen has already crossed the threshold of the Law of Wind. If his comprehension of the Law of Time is not so much worse than that of the Law of Space, he will still choose to continue to comprehend the Law of Wind, thereby gaining insight into its superior Law of Time.

According to the answer given by Hunjingshi, the most suitable path for Hunzhen is to first comprehend the Law of Fire, and then follow the path of space.

It's a pity no.

The assassin training camp that initially trained him, and even his boss at the company, didn't think about what would happen after he broke through to immortality, so they wouldn't care what kind of superior laws he comprehended.

"To go higher and further, and reach the pinnacle, the understanding of the Law of Wind must be temporarily set aside. The path to follow is the Law of Fire. But... the experience of this year, and the more than three hundred simulations with the simulators, have not been in vain!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Hunzhen's gaze was firm.

Over the past year, he has focused most of his energy on his field.

Rules and domains are actually two separate paths.

The ultimate limit of true meaning is merely a stepping stone to the realm. Consider the realm's description: "The perfect fusion of primal force, mental power, willpower, and physical strength," which makes no mention of true meaning or the understanding of laws.

Therefore, in reality, a domain is simply a more advanced way of applying power.

The understanding of the laws is the direct path to the true meaning.

The ninth level of the domain is the limit; beyond that lies the power of the world.

Having a domain merely lowers the threshold for comprehending the laws.

The path of laws is boundless and infinite; the time spent stepping onto the threshold of laws is not even a detour in the long journey of laws.

In the past, it took simulated humans thousands of years to reach the threshold of the Law of Wind, but now, with the help of a higher perspective, the time required may be less than one-tenth.

"Having confirmed the direction of my understanding of the laws, the next step is to spend time finding corresponding treasures to reduce the time spent comprehending them. Besides that, I need to choose a weapon I will be using for a long time to come..."

A glint of light flashed in Hunzhen's eyes.

Master the Nine Divine Weapons!

Without a doubt, this is one of the strongest weapons that extraterrestrial life forms below the Immortal level can use.

While possessing immense power, users can also refine and hone their control over mental energy and their understanding of laws through continuous use and research!

Hunzhen had no famous teacher to guide him and was unaware of other paths, but right in front of him was a path that had already been successfully traversed!

This path may not be the most suitable for him, but it is certainly not the wrong path!

With this goal in mind, I murmured to myself.

"Start simulation!"
