Chapter 169 Luo Feng's Shock (3 words)
Inside a cultivation residence near the City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City.
"It's unbelievable," Luo Feng said, sitting on the soft sofa, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Yuan opposite him. "In just a few years, that little guy who had just entered the planetary level has now grown into a cosmic-level powerhouse."
He shook his head slightly, his tone filled with undisguised amazement: "Moreover, they have become a core member of the Virtual Universe Company."
"It was a coincidence, too."
Chen Yuan smiled, preparing to recount his experiences after leaving Earth: "Uncle Luo, back then—"
"Hey, stop, stop." Luo Feng quickly said, "Just call me by my name, I don't feel comfortable with you calling me uncle."
"But I'm Luo Hai's friend." Chen Yuan asked curiously, "Logically speaking, you're an elder, so it's normal for you to call me Uncle Luo. I already call Wei Wen Uncle Wei."
"Let's stick to our own perspectives." Luo Feng shook his head with a wry smile. "Actually, we're only about twenty years apart in age. Considering the lifespan of a universe-level powerhouse, that difference is almost negligible."
"Besides, I'm much older than Hong and Lei Shen, but we still call each other brothers."
Luo Feng looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously, "So, you can just call me by my name, or call me Brother Luo, no need for 'Uncle' or anything like that."
"Alright then." Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then changed his address to, "Brother Luo!"
"That's more like it." Luo Feng grinned. "Chen Yuan, continue. How have you been all these years?"
"Okay, actually, after I left Earth—"
Chen Yuan began by recounting his remarkable debut on the battlefield, detailing how he joined the Virtual Universe Company, rose through the ranks from the Black Dragon Mountain branch, and ultimately succeeded in becoming a core member.
After listening, Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I underestimated you back then."
"In just eight years, it has gone from a planetary level to this level."
"To become a member of the Apocalyptic Secret Realm, your understanding of the laws must be quite high."
Luo Feng asked curiously, "You're comprehending the Law of Wind? Which Chaos Stele did you choose, the Wind Shadow?"
"The Wind Shadow Chaos Stele is indeed very suitable for me, but I chose the Primordial Chaos Stele," Chen Yuan said, shaking his head.
"The Primordial Beginning? It's the Chaos Monument that elucidates the laws of time!"
Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and his tone was filled with excitement: "It seems you also cultivate the Law of Time. No wonder you were able to stand out from the branch. Being able to cultivate two laws is almost equivalent to the level of a member of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."
"Come on, let's enter the virtual universe and let me see your strength." Luo Feng suggested enthusiastically, "After all, I've been here a few years longer than you, so as a senior, I can still give you some pointers."
"Oh, this—"
Chen Yuan thought to himself that with his current strength, he was already much stronger than Luo Feng. If they were to actually compete, he would probably embarrass the other party.
After hesitating for a moment, he politely declined, saying, "Brother Luo, forget it. After all, you follow the Golden Void Law path and are a mentalist, which is completely different from me."
"Haha." Luo Feng laughed loudly, "Don't underestimate me just because I specialize in mental cultivation. My martial arts skills are actually quite strong, at least comparable to those members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."
"I can't really guide you on understanding the laws, but as for a martial artist's power generation—"
He said confidently, "I believe I have some experience in this area."
Upon hearing the word "exert force," Chen Yuan was even less likely to let Luo Feng give him pointers. Otherwise, if he were to unleash his hundredfold power, where would Luo Feng put his face?
It's worth noting that Luo Feng later tested his power level at the "Immortal Altar," and his result was only 28 times, far inferior to Luo Feng's.
Chen Yuanqian chuckled twice, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Luo, the timing is a bit unfortunate. I was just about to cross the Tongtian Bridge and have already arrived at the Tongtian Bridge plane."
"If you want guidance, wait until I've conquered the Heavenly Bridge. There's no rush."
"The Bridge to Heaven!" Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. "Great, let me see your skills."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
After saying that, Luo Feng separated a wisp of his consciousness and entered the virtual universe.
The central island in the Skybridge plane is picturesque.
When Luo Feng arrived, Chen Yuan had already finished listening to the explanation from Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge, and was preparing to begin the challenge.
"Luo Feng, you've arrived."
Upon seeing Luo Feng, the guardian Baffin smiled and said, "You want to challenge the Heavenly Bridge? Fortunately, there's no one on the Nine Heavens Heavenly Bridge right now, so you can start immediately."
"No, Mr. Baffin." Luo Feng shook his head, his gaze falling on Chen Yuan's figure, and smiled, "I came to see Chen Yuan attempt to cross the Tongtian Bridge."
"Oh?" Baffin's gaze swept between the two of them, and he asked curiously, "You two know each other? You didn't get in through the same channel, did you?"
"Chen Yuan is one of my kind; we come from the same home planet," Luo Feng said with a smile. "Mr. Baffin, may I watch Chen Yuan's live stream?"
"This requires the individual's consent." Baffin looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Chen Yuan, what do you say?"
"Of course." Chen Yuan smiled. "Guardian, Brother Luo, I'm going to try to cross the Sky Bridge now."
After saying that, he flew toward the edge of the island.
There were port-like entrances scattered there, each with a stone tablet in front of it, inscribed with the name of the corresponding Chaos Tablet. Behind each port, an endless long bridge stretched out, shrouded in a hazy mist.
Chen Yuan arrived at the stone tablet inscribed with the words "Original Beginning," and in a flash, he stepped onto the long bridge and quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
On that beautiful island, Luo Feng looked at the monitor: "Mr. Baffin, can we start the live stream now?"
"Okay." Baffin nodded, tapped his finger, and a huge screen ten meters high appeared, showing Chen Yuan's figure, who looked like he was about to reach the end of the first bridge to heaven.
"The timing is perfect."
Baffin turned to look at Luo Feng: "However, Luo Feng, you should know that your clansman is just a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm."
"Logically speaking, he might not even be able to get across the first level of the bridge, so what's so interesting about this kind of live stream?"
Luo Feng knew that Baffin was telling the truth. In fact, his original purpose was simply to understand the strength of this younger generation from Earth.
So he told the truth: "I want to see how he performs and see if I can give him some pointers."
"I see." Baffin smiled and said nothing more.
At the end of the first bridge to heaven, a voice came from the clouds.
"Please select your opponent type: Warrior, Psychic Controller, Illusionist."
"Defeat any type of opponent to pass through the first level of the Sky Bridge."
Chen Yuan, clad in white battle armor and wielding the fifth-tier Azure Sky Sword, declared in a deep voice, "I choose—the Martial Artist!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black liquid flew out of the clouds with a "whoosh" and instantly condensed into a mysterious person wearing a black mask.
His opponent, also wielding a cyan longsword and clad in Force armor, coldly stared at Chen Yuan's figure and spoke in human language: "Let the battle begin!"
"kill!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the other person appeared like lightning.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the cyan longsword drew a sharp arc and instantly pierced through Chen Yuan's body.
"That's all—wait, something's not right!"
The masked man suddenly realized that he had only hit the afterimage left by Chen Yuan, so he instantly retreated to avoid the attack from Chen Yuan.
However, Chen Yuan did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on his opponent, but instead experienced the difference between fighting on the Tongtian Bridge and reality.
"Domain and body amplitude techniques are restricted," Chen Yuan carefully sensed the special rules of the Bridge to Heaven. "Only pure understanding of the laws and techniques for exerting force are preserved—"
"Moreover, this place can actually shield my special physique."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes: "Is it because this place is purely a test of the harmony of laws?"
After some perception, it was discovered that after shielding his Law Affinity Physique, his current Law Amplitude was approximately forty times greater.
However, if it were outside, the amplitude of his laws would be more than fifty times.
To be honest, the fact that so much amplitude remained after discarding the influence of physical constitution was somewhat beyond Chen Yuan's expectations. He originally thought that the amplitude would be at least 20 times less.
It now appears that as Chen Yuan's understanding of the essence of the laws deepens, he is gradually able to unleash the upper limit of the laws' power.
After all, no matter how strong one's affinity with the laws is, their upper limit is the same, and there is no possibility of exceeding the upper limit of the laws.
In other words, as Chen Yuan delves deeper into the study of the laws, the amplitude of his true law will approach the bonus of his special physique, until it eventually reaches its limit.
"That's fine too. If it only tests your mastery of the laws, then I don't need to worry about holding back and can unleash my full potential."
Chen Yuanzi looked at the masked man who had retreated far away: "Based on the time law that the other party has shown, it is about 3%, but the application is quite strong. Under the same level of understanding, one must at least comprehend the essence of one law in order to suppress and kill the other party head-on."
"3% of the understanding of the Time Law, if converted into a lower-level law, is exactly 10%."
"In other words, if the higher-level law reaches 3%, or the lower-level law reaches 10%, there is a possibility of passing through the first level of the Heavenly Bridge."
After estimating the difficulty of the Sky Bridge, Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "It seems that the first five levels of the Sky Bridge are not difficult for me."
He then looked at the masked man and smiled, "If you don't make a move, it'll be my turn."
"Come on then," the masked man said coldly, staring at Chen Yuan's figure.
"Oh."
With a soft laugh, Chen Yuan vanished.
In the next instant, he appeared behind the masked man like a ghost.
"not good!"
The masked man's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly dodged to the side.
However, he was still a step too slow; Chen Yuan's speed far exceeded his reaction time.
"Bye now."
As Chen Yuan spoke softly, the Azure Sky Sword shot out like lightning, precisely piercing through the masked man's body.
One-hit kill!
"After all, it's only the first level; the difference in strength is still quite significant."
Seeing that the fog ahead had dissipated, Chen Yuan sheathed his sword and embarked on the path to the second level.
Outside, on the island in the Tongtian Bridge dimension, the guardians Baffin and Luo Feng looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
