Devour: Emperor Yan

Inside the spacecraft control room.

Lin Kun, Hong, and Luo Feng sat on the sofa chatting.

"After dropping you off near Qiulong Star this time, I'll return to Zihuan Star to go into seclusion and study the secret runes on the Zhan Kong Blade. I hope I can make some progress in understanding the laws of space," Lin Kun said.

"So eager to go back into seclusion? Looks like you're going to make some progress." Luo Feng said with a hint of envy, "I was actually thinking of inviting you to visit our hometown."

"I do have a feel for it, and maybe I can improve." Lin Kun smiled. "As for visiting your hometown, let's wait for another opportunity. I'll definitely go."

"Then it's settled. I'll prepare a castle for you when I get back, and build it near my home as your residence when you come to Earth in the future," Luo Feng said earnestly.

Hong also agreed and echoed this sentiment.

We spent this time together, experiencing many battles and life-or-death situations.

They had completely accepted Lin Kun as their brother, so they valued him highly.

"Okay, I'll definitely go if I have the chance in the future." Lin Kun nodded with a smile and joked, "That castle needs to be built well, not just done perfunctorily."

"Haha, I'll definitely build and decorate it properly for you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Luo Feng laughed heartily, "If you're not satisfied, just come and settle the score with me."

"Big brother, you're already this strong. After you go back into seclusion this time, you'll likely continue to improve. How are we supposed to survive?"

Hong looked at Lin Kun and sighed with envy, "Competing in the same year's genius battle with a prodigy like you will put a lot of pressure on us!"

"That's good," Luo Feng agreed.

Progress has been made in the laws of space!

It's something to be incredibly envious of.

They now know that the Law of Space is a superior law! It is one of the two most difficult laws to apply.

Anyone who comprehends any of the higher laws can leap to become a super being like the ruler of the Qianwu Universe.

"Right now, I only have a vague sense of it. Whether I can make any progress is still uncertain. After all, it's a higher-level spatial law, and even the slightest improvement is incredibly difficult..."

Lin Kun shook his head, then smiled and said, "It's good that you know you're lagging behind and there's a gap between you. While you still have a few years left, you'd better work hard. Otherwise, you might not even be able to make it into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"To be among the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom..." Luo Feng and Hong whispered, sighing softly.

A lot of pressure.

At least for now, they have no confidence whatsoever.

Even passing the initial massive screening process wasn't a sure thing.

......

The three brothers chatted idly.

Much later.

Suddenly, he saw Thor sitting silently to his side and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Third brother?" Hong looked over with a smile. "Why are your eyes so wide?"

"Even if you obtained the Thunder Path Secret Technique from Lord Kabu, you shouldn't be this shocked, right? Calm down, you're a galaxy-level tycoon now," Luo Feng teased.

Lin Kun smiled and looked at Thor without saying a word.

Thor blinked and looked at Lin Kun, Luo Feng, and Hong, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Lin Kun, Luo Feng, and Hong nodded. "Go on."

Luo Feng and Hong's expressions became more serious, sensing that something was amiss.

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Hong asked.

Thor murmured, "Didn't Fourth Brother say that he had obtained the inheritance of Meteorite Star? I also seem to have... obtained the inheritance of Lord Kabu."

"Huh?" Luo Feng and Hong's eyes widened immediately.

inherited?

Obtaining a secret technique and receiving an inheritance are two completely different concepts.

In particular, Lord Kabu is dead...

They used to jokingly tell Luo Feng with envy that Hu Yanbo... was a good teacher.

Although this is somewhat disrespectful.

But a powerful teacher who died but left behind a complete legacy is indeed very popular.

......

"I just glanced at those five sets of Thunder Secret Techniques and inserted those five chips into them respectively."

Thor whispered, "The four sets of Thunder Techniques stored on the four chips are normal and legitimate. But the chip containing the fifth set of techniques actually contains an intelligence! And it..."

"Intelligent?!" Luo Feng and Hong realized something.

"It's that fat old man with the white beard." Thor blinked twice. "He even congratulated me, saying I'd become Lord Kabu's disciple."

"Lord Wu?" Luo Feng was taken aback.

Lin Kun and Hong exchanged a glance.

That monstrous intelligent life form used 312 treasures to incite a brutal and frenzied massacre, causing the deaths of over 140 million level-nine Eternal Star beings in just one and a half months.

"It actually left the Inner Realm and secretly followed us out?" Hong exclaimed in shock.

This guy's true form is actually one of those five chips? And he sneaked out with them without a word?!

"What a clever escape!" Lin Kun chuckled.

"That's right. With such a commotion, if it doesn't find a way to sneak away, it will probably end up in the hands of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance." Hong nodded.

"This feeling," Luo Feng said, somewhat bewildered.

This scene is so similar to the scene when I became Huyanbo's disciple.

He met Babata and became Huyanbo's disciple.

Thor, on the other hand, met the white-bearded old man and became the disciple of Lord Kabu.

"I bought five sets of the Thunder Path Secret Technique, and it turns out I bought a teacher for my third brother?"

......

Several days later.

In a vast, dark expanse of space not too far from Qiulong Star.

As space rippled slightly, a rock-gray, sharp-angled triangular spaceship suddenly appeared and hovered there.

snort~

The hatch opened, and Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen flew out.

Luo Feng waved his hand and released a Class C alloy spaceship.

"I'll see you off here." Lin Kun stood at the cabin door, smiling and waving.

"Okay, see you in the virtual universe." Luo Feng and the other two smiled and waved goodbye.

"See you in the virtual universe." Lin Kun nodded.

Although it's a farewell, we can meet anytime in the virtual universe, so there's nothing to be sad about.

It must be said that the virtual universe is incredibly magical; in this vast and boundless universe, it has infinitely shortened the distance between us in terms of communication.

Of course, this is just one of the most basic functions of the virtual universe; it has many more amazing uses.

Even though the progenitor was suppressed, he left a deep foundation for the human race.

This is also one of the places where billions of races in the universe envy and are most jealous of the human race. Some races even become hostile to humans because of this, which is a typical example of hatred born out of jealousy.

snort~

The hatch of the Class C alloy spaceship opened, and Luo Feng and his two companions flew inside.

"I'm gone."

Subsequently, the C-class alloy spacecraft started up and quickly disappeared into the distance.

The elongated triangular spaceship also accelerated and headed in another direction.

......

A few days later, Lin Kun returned to Zi Huan Star and his small manor.

Upon his return, he did not immediately go into seclusion. Instead, he contacted the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and began to manage some of his assets through the bank.

Many second-tier Force suits, armor, Force weapons, telekinetic weapons, spatial rings, and other miscellaneous items are things he doesn't need.

With Lin Kun's two-star customer privileges, handling these assets through the bank's channels would naturally not be difficult.

Moreover, banks can also profit from the price difference by buying low and selling high in this process, so they are naturally very enthusiastic.

Although Lin Kun might earn less money as a result, the advantages are safety, speed, and convenience.

Then came a large amount of cosmic crystals, which he deposited into his bank account as savings.

Aside from keeping 10,000 cubic meters of cosmic crystals for emergencies, Lin Kun disposed of all his other valuables.

It took several days of work to get everything done.

The account, which originally had a balance of over 20 billion after transferring 160 billion cosmic coins each to Hong and Thor, has now returned to around 190 billion cosmic coins.

"Finally all done. There's basically nothing else to worry about. I'll figure out how to buy a few more Lan Ke Fruits to feed and evolve the Mo Yun Vine to the ninth level of the cosmic level... Then I just have to wait for the Genius Battle to begin."

After finishing his chores, Lin Kun stretched and yawned.

This trip to relax, which lasted only about half a year, was very fruitful.

It's so satisfying to ride the coattails of the chosen one's destiny.

From now on, he will never have to worry about finances again. The more than 190 billion cosmic coins in his account are enough for him to spend every day in the killing field, and he will never be able to use them all.

Next, we'll focus all our efforts on preparing for the Genius Battle!
