Chapter 96 Breakthrough

The style of the Second Star Cave was completely different from the First Star Cave.

This should be inside a certain Universe battleship, with walls formed of silver-white alloy in all directions.

Not far away was a huge transparent passageway.

"What does this star cave test?"

Lin Yuan looked to the side, where a huge metal screen stood, with the test content written on it.

"Objective: Pass through the transparent passageway."

"Hint 1: Every ten seconds, the transparent passageway will be covered by lasers."

"Hint 2: The total length of the transparent passageway is 40,000 meters."

"Is it testing speed or defense?"

Lin Yuan gazed at the metal screen, falling into thought.

If according to the test rules, there were two ways to pass.

First, pass through the transparent passageway before the laser coverage.

The laser coverage occurs once every ten seconds, and the transparent passageway is up to 40,000 meters long.

In other words, as long as your speed exceeds 4,000 meters per second, you can successfully pass.

4,000 meters per second is roughly equivalent to more than a dozen times the speed of sound.

This tests one's own speed.

Second, if your speed is not fast, but with your Physical Body defense, you can block the laser coverage once every ten seconds.

Then passing through this star cave is also very simple.

This tests one's own defense.

"Let's see how others pass first."

Lin Yuan was not sure if there would be other resistance in the middle of the passageway, so he planned to wait for a while.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan glanced at the other Evolver nearby.

During the First Star Cave test, although Lin Yuan waited half an hour before entering, his speed in passing through the hundred-li Black Race Track was not slow.

There was basically no rest or pause throughout the whole journey, so there were not many Evolver who entered the Second Star Cave ahead of Lin Yuan.

Looking at a glance, there were only fifty or sixty of them.

These fifty or sixty Evolver were all Golden Mark Evolver.

Among them, three were even Red Mark.

"Red Mark?"

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.

The Evolver within the Seven Star Cave World were divided into three tiers.

Red Mark, Golden Mark, Silver Mark.

This was classified according to some standard of Red Kun Star Lord's Foundation.

In the First Star Cave, the number of Evolver exceeded one million. Lin Yuan only noticed a few Golden Mark ones, and as for Red Mark, he didn't see a single one.

Now in the Second Star Cave, the number of Evolver was much smaller, and those ahead of Lin Yuan were even fewer.

"The Universe is vast, and the number of the Human Race is countless. Under such a huge base, the number of born geniuses, freaks, and prodigies is definitely not small."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In this martial arts tournament, although Lin Yuan could not be considered as showing all his trump cards, he had also revealed most of his strength.

Even so, in the eyes of Red Kun Star Lord, he was only a Golden Mark.

It can be inferred that the Aptitude and potential of the Red Mark above the Golden Mark definitely exceed Lin Yuan by a lot.

However, Lin Yuan did not belittle himself; whether it was the Gate of Myriad Realms or Heaven-Defying Comprehension, they belonged to Late Stage means and talents.

They would become increasingly monstrous over time.

Right now Lin Yuan was inferior to those three Red Marks, but given a few more shuttle opportunities, it wouldn't necessarily be clear who was stronger or weaker.

The three Red Mark Evolver were respectively a Silver-haired woman,

a man with a line of blood standing vertically between his brows,

and a robust man nearly three meters tall carrying a giant axe on his back.

These three Red Marks each stood in a corner, with no Evolver approaching around them.

Seven Star Cave World, a certain mysterious space.

Twelve figures were leisurely looking at the star cave area below.

Since no one had reached the Third Star Cave yet, everyone's attention was focused on the Second Star Cave.

"Another Gold-Patterned Examinee has arrived."

"This Gold-Patterned Examinee should be called Lin Yuan, right? He has some comprehension of the two rules of Yin and Yang?"

The gazes of one figure after another fell upon Lin Yuan.

As Disciples of the great Star Lord, these twelve people did not care much about ordinary Silver Mark examinees.

Because the possibility of Silver Mark examinees passing the Seven Stars Caves was small, and since they were designated as Silver Mark, they were obviously weaker in potential and Aptitude.

Of course, the Universe is vast, and there are also Evolver who are mediocre in the front and soar into the sky later.

But the probability was simply too small, and the vast majority were slow step by step if they were slow in the first step.

If you couldn't compare to others in the front, how dare you think of surpassing them later?

But for Gold-Patterned Examinees, they would still take an extra look; examinees at this level were without exception proud sons of heaven.

Among the 120,000 life planets in the Morning Dawn Star System, the number of Gold-Patterned Examinees was just over a hundred, about one for every thousand life planets.

"Ka Wu, you comprehend the rules of light, which is somewhat similar to this Lin Yuan. Do you want to take him in advance?"

A deep-voiced figure asked.

"Let me look again."

Ka Wu was the tenth Disciple of the Star Lord and had just stepped into Tier 6 not long ago. When the figures in front of him were selecting, he naturally did not dare to participate.

However, the matter of selecting Disciples was quite important.

It wasn't that you could ignore them after taking them as Disciples.

You also needed to personally guide them, and even plan their future cultivation routes according to the evolutionary pathway the Disciple cultivated.

Therefore, Ka Wu was quite cautious, preferring not to participate in the selection rather than choosing one casually.

"Let's wait until the Fourth Star Cave and the Seventh Star Cave before talking."

Ka Wu observed for a moment and said.

Among the Seven Stars Cave tests, the Fourth Star Cave and the Seventh Star Cave were the most special.

Hard was hard, easy was easy.

Because these two star caves tested one's own Comprehension Ability.

Ka Wu intended to look at Lin Yuan's Comprehension Ability before making a decision.

Second Star Cave.

Lin Yuan's thoughts were also the thoughts of other Gold-Patterned Examinees.

Even those three Red Mark Evolver did not immediately choose to rush through the transparent passageway.

Instead, they patiently waited for other Evolver to go first.

Time passed.

More and more Evolver passed through the First Star Cave and came to the Second Star Cave.

Among them was Cui Sita, whom Lin Yuan met on the race track, as well as the golden-marked green-haired woman.

"If you don't rush, then I'll go first."

A thin man stepped forward and walked into the transparent passageway.

Since he dared to be the first to rush, the thin man definitely had confidence.

I saw his eyes slightly tinged with blood red, and his whole person was like a meteor, rushing into the transparent passageway.

Boom boom boom.

The terrifying sonic boom of tearing the air came from all directions.

"At least fourteen times the speed of sound."

Lin Yuan looked closely.

At the same time, he was also observing other changes in the transparent passageway.

With Lin Yuan's speed, under an outbreak, it was even faster than that thin man.

It was just that he wasn't sure if there were variables in the transparent passageway, which was why he didn't set off.

Most of the Evolver in the scene had this idea too.

Hum!!

Just as Lin Yuan was observing carefully.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying, watching a living being burst out with full strength, you comprehended 'Blood Burning Technique'.]

"Eh?" A large amount of bits and pieces about 'Blood Burning Technique' emerged in Lin Yuan's mind.

This secret technique uses a certain special method to burn one's own essential blood, thereby achieving a substantial increase in one's own speed.

That thin man who first stepped into the transparent passageway must have cast this secret technique to increase his own speed so as to improve his chances of passing through.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Although in the Dragon-Tiger World, Lin Yuan swept away demons across the world and also comprehended Demonic Path means similar to 'Blood Burning Technique'.

But whether it was the utilization efficiency of essential blood or the hidden dangers after use, it was far inferior to this 'Blood Burning Technique' he comprehended now.

Whoosh.

Under the gaze of many Evolver.

That thin man passed through the transparent passageway at the ninth second, his figure disappearing in the Second Star Cave.

"There are no other variables."

The Evolver on the scene suddenly had a clear idea in their hearts.

Next.

A large number of Evolver began to rush through the transparent passageway.

A strong Evolver whose speed was not good wanted to try to resist the 'laser' hard.

After all, for a Tier 4 Evolver, even without comprehending the rules, relying solely on a powerful Physical Body, they could block most laser weapons.

It was just in an instant.

This strong Evolver turned into nothingness under the laser coverage.

This scene made all the remaining Evolver realize — —

What the Second Star Cave tests is speed.

If the speed does not meet the standard, no matter how strong the defense is, it cannot block the laser coverage.

"Too many, too many."

Evolver after Evolver used their own methods, trying their best to run wildly in the transparent passageway, which really troubled Lin Yuan.

Under Heaven-Defying Comprehension, countless insights surged into his heart, and many rare secret techniques and evolutionary pathways were quickly absorbed by Lin Yuan.

These Evolver in the Seven Star Cave World might not be as good as Lin Yuan in Aptitude and Comprehension Ability, but what they cultivated was definitely the most essential part of the evolutionary pathways on their respective planets.

Hiss.

Just at this moment.

That Silver-haired woman appeared before the transparent passageway.

This scene made all the Evolver's hearts slightly startled.

Many Evolver who were just planning to enter the transparent passageway stopped in their tracks, not daring to enter together with the Silver-haired woman.

Because this Silver-haired woman was precisely one of the three Red Marks.

Red Mark was an Aptitude recognized by Red Kun Star Lord.

Even though most Evolver did not know how terrifying the Red Mark was, they could not possibly offend it, let alone interfere.

With the Aptitude of the Red Mark, even if they did not pass the Seven Stars Cave test, they would still join the Chi Kun lineage afterwards.

It was equivalent to being 'guaranteed admission'.

"It's her."

Lin Yuan also looked at the Silver-haired woman, a look of expectation appearing on his face.

He wanted to know what kind of method this Red Mark examinee used to pass through this transparent passageway.

Unlike other awe-filled Evolver.

Lin Yuan could truly and solidly obtain benefits from this Silver-haired woman.

Hum!

I saw that Silver-haired woman just take a single step.

Her figure disappeared on the spot and appeared a hundred meters away.

The next instant.

The Silver-haired woman disappeared again.

Another hundred meters.

In just five seconds.

The Silver-haired woman passed through the transparent passageway that was as long as 40,000 meters.

Numerous Evolver were dumbfounded, and then a commotion broke out.

Indeed, this scene was too bizarre; crossing a distance of 40,000 meters in four seconds had already reached the level of dozens of times the speed of sound.

Even more incredibly, from beginning to end, the Silver-haired woman did not emit any 'sonic boom', which simply violated the laws of natural physics.

"It's space."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying, watching spatial crossing, your comprehension of space is further deepened.]

Compared to when Lin Yuan watched that spatial crack in the Divine Weapon World, where irregular forces of space burst forth.

The spatial crossing cast by the Silver-haired woman was orderly, and Lin Yuan easily gained insights.

"Space."

Lin Yuan directly disconnected from the Virtual World and returned to the real world.

During the Seven Stars Cave test, exiting midway is allowed. Of course, the time passing in the real world is synchronized with the Seven Stars Cave World.

If you stayed in the real world for a month, a month would also pass in the Seven Stars Cave World.

If you didn't break through to the next star cave and exceeded the staying time, you would naturally be eliminated.

"Space."

Lin Yuan's pupils faintly flickered with silver.

Following closely, a huge Taiji phantom incorporated silver.

The Dao of Taiji takes Yin and Yang as its Foundation, and thereby accommodates all things in heaven and earth.

Within the Divine Weapon World, Lin Yuan comprehended many divine weapons and understood quite a few rules, but it did not conflict with the Yin and Yang Taiji Dao at all.

That was precisely because of the characteristic of Taiji accommodating all things.

Now Lin Yuan watched that Silver-haired woman cast spatial crossing, and his comprehension of space reached a certain degree for a time, thereby causing the transformation of the Taiji Dao, which was naturally a matter of course.

"Tier 4, Stage 10."

After a moment, Lin Yuan stood up, and the aura on his body experienced a small-scale transition.

Tier 4 Stage 9 to Tier 4 Stage 10, although not a major Realm crossing, was also a not low Realm Bottleneck.

Originally, Lin Yuan estimated that it would take him at least several years to cross it, but he didn't expect it to be advanced by quite a bit.

You must know that Lin Yuan's Breakthrough was different from other Evolver's Breakthroughs.

Other Evolver's pathways were walking to the next stage on a predetermined evolutionary pathway.

As for Lin Yuan, he had no next stage at all; every step he took was created out of nothing, forcefully pioneered.

"It seems that the Space Rules have great use for further perfecting Taiji."

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

Cultivating to Tier 3 and Tier 4, one could faintly sense the vast rules between heaven and earth.

However, feeling it was one thing, and whether one could comprehend it was another.

With his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, Lin Yuan had forcibly comprehended for such a long time, yet his progress was still very slow. If he hadn't watched that Silver-haired woman just now, he probably would have been trapped at Tier 4 Stage 9 for a period of time.

"The best way to comprehend a certain rule is to comprehend the evolutionary pathway of this type of rule."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Evolutionary pathways are equivalent to parsing profound and obscure rules in a way that you can understand.

It's just that spatial-type evolutionary pathways have always been extremely rare, and the price also made Lin Yuan flinch.

Lin Yuan wanted to pass the Seven Stars Cave test and join the Chi Kun lineage because he also craved to obtain more channels to contact various evolutionary pathways.

The Chi Kun lineage, as the most powerful force in the Chi Kun Star Region, definitely had a talent training system independent of the outside world.

Joining it, Lin Yuan's growth speed would definitely undergo a qualitative change.

Admittedly, with Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension, even without joining a force, he could grow to an extremely high level.

But how much time would that take?

Especially the stronger his strength became, the more resources Lin Yuan would need.

Without a major force to support him, could it be that Lin Yuan had to earn them himself?

Whoosh.

After a moment.

Lin Yuan connected to the Virtual World.

His figure appeared in the Second Star Cave again.

Breaking through from Tier 4 Stage 9 to Stage 10.

Not much time had passed.

When Lin Yuan returned, other Evolver were still discussing about the Silver-haired woman.

Seeing this scene.

Lin Yuan glanced at the other two Red Mark Evolver.

That was, the man with a line of blood standing vertically between his brows.

And the robust man nearly three meters tall.

The Silver-haired woman made his comprehension of space improve by a section.

Then these two Red Mark Evolver would more or less give him a lot of help, right?
