Chapter 154 - 154: 153 Understanding Laws! (Thanks to the helm reward of 0Banished Immortalo, great and domineering!)

Time trickled away bit by bit.

Du Gang’s life had become quite straightforward.

He spent most of his time in the Killing Field every day.

He fought one hundred and forty-four battles per day, each one spanned over ten minutes.

On the first day, he smoothly achieved a hundred consecutive victories. Besides gaining five thousand White Dragon Coins, he was awarded an extra thousand.

Thanks to his deceptive strategy, on the seventh day, he celebrated his thousandth victory. He had gained a total of fifty-five thousand White Dragon Coins. eauivalent to five and a half Stellar Crvstals as earning. Although it seemed far from ten thousand, it was much faster for him compared to breaking through after one or two million years.

However, on this day, he left the Killing Field.

“Du Gang, didn’t you say you would fight ten thousand battles before coming out?”

Du Gang shrugged regretfully, “The Worries Relief Spear is not very capable anymore. The opponents I’m encountering are all of the Stellar Level. Today, I confronted an opponent in the Ninth Level realm who was armed with a Rank Six weapon. He directly blew up my spear…”

Immediately, Balala asked, “Did your winning streak get interrupted then?”

“Yeah, couldn’t help it, that guy’s weapon was too powerful. Although it was just a projection and my Worries Relief Spear was fine, my winning streak was broken!”

“So what will you do now? Are you going to start over?”

Du Gang shook his head, “Not necessary. On the hundredth consecutive victory and the thousandth one, the Killing Field gave me two chances to fail…”

“What this means is, until I have ten thousand consecutive victories, I can only afford to lose twice. Unfortunately, I just fought my thousand-and-first battle when I encountered a strong opponent! ”

“Then what do you plan to do?” Balala was stunned momentarily, “Are you going to transform into a giant and enter?”

He knew that Du Gang couldn’t transform within the field. He would have to transform into a giant outside before entering so that his giant’s body could be scanned.

Du Gang shook his head, “I’ve realized that it’s quicker to grow through fights in human form. You wouldn’t know that in these short seven days, I’ve learned eleven types of footwork techniques. You must know that under the influence of Time Rune, it would take at least a month for me to master one footwork technique. Now, I’ve learned eleven in seven days. It’s simply incredible!”

“That’s impressive?!!”

Immediately, a look of admiration shone in Balala’s eyes.

Despite surprised at how much sharper Balala seemed, Du Gang nodded and smiled, “That’s not all, it feels like my Ninth Spear Intent is about to break through…”

“I’m going for a test, to see what my law affinity truly is!” Soon, a servant assigned to serving Du Gang arrived.

“Hello, sir!” The butler respectfully bowed.

“Take me to the place where I can test the affinity for the laws!” Du Gang simply instructed.

“Alright, please follow me!”

This thousand-kilometer tower was inhabited by all the out-door disciples and registered disciples. Besides the ample energy convergence here, the complete set of facilities for practicing had something to do with it too.

Soon, Du Gang arrived at the place to test his affinity for the laws. Contrary to his expectation of seeing an old wizard with a crystal ball, the testing site was a tightly sealed room, and he just needed to sit in a chair.

Upon pushing the start button, the room was filled with metallic elements. According to the instructions, Du Gang did not need to do anything else. He just had to wait patiently.

Three minutes after, the metallic elements disappeared and three minutes following that, the wood elements appeared. Half an hour later, the test finally ended. [Test Over!]

[Affinity for Gold Element Law 35%] [Affinity for Wood Element Law 5%] [Affinity for Water Element Law 5%]

Du Gang noticed an odd phenomenon. His affinity for Gold-related law was at 35% while that for the Space Laws came in at 25%. All the other eight types of laws were at 5%, adding up to exactly one hundred percent.

“So, am I stronger with the laws of Gold and Space?”

When he walked out of the testing room, Fan An was already waiting at the door. Seeing him coming out, Fan An stepped forward and asked cheerfully,

“How was it? Which property stands out the most?”

“Gold and Space!”

Fan An seemed a bit surprised, “Space? Not bad. What are their affinity percentages? Is it above one percent?”

Du Gang was a little puzzled, “One percent?”

Looking at his confusion, Fan An explained with a smile, “Under normal circumstances, only those with an affinities of over one percent can comprehend the related laws. While it’s not absolute, this is the basic situation…”

Du Gang asked, “Then what’s the situation if it’s five percent?”

“What?”

Fan An exclaimed incredulously, “You mean your affinity reached five percent?”

“Is…is that very difficult?”

Fan An replied, “It’s more than just difficult. Usually, if someone has over one percent affinity in any field, it indicates they can practice a law of that field. If their affinity exceeds two percent, it indicates that their affinity for that law is very strong!”

“Five percent means that their affinity for that law is like a divine body. Understanding laws would be as simple as drinking water .

A wave of emotions surged in Du Gang’s heart, but he didn’t let it show. He asked, “Doesn’t the affinity for the laws always add up to a hundred percent?”

“Impossible!”

Fan An shook his head and said, “There is no such person. The person I’ve seen with the strongest affinity for Laws only achieves a total of 10% across ten different aspects. The highest in any single aspect just barely hit 5 percent…”

His face was filled with excitement as he looked at Du Gang and asked expectantly, “Which of your Laws gold or spatial has an affinity over 5 percent?”

Du Gang blinked and responded, “Aren’t my test results visible here?”

Fan An shook his head, “They are not visible. Apart from you, no one else can see them. You must understand, your affinity for Laws is a private matter because Laws have relationships of mutual generation and restraint. If someone knows your affinities, they’ll generally know what type of Laws you cultivate. Then, they could find an individual who can suppress your Laws and make them your opponent. That could cause trouble. Therefore, no one else knows the results of a Laws test…”

Du Gang coughed and said, “My affinity for the gold law is 5 percent, spatial is 3 percent, and the rest are all almost around 1 percent!”

“So high!”

Fan An exclaimed in surprise, “All your affinities added up total almost 16 percent?!!”

“Is that a lot?”

Fan An emotionally said, “This isn’t just a lot, I met a genius before whose affinities added up to around ten, but in a span of ten thousand years, he became a Domain Lord level being and he’s still wildly advancing, reaching heights beyond my imagination!”

He felt that as long as Du Gang wasn’t lying, his affinity for Laws was just too high. His level of talent was terrifying to the extreme…

After Du Gang’s test, he didn’t know that his results had been secretly sent to me virtual umverse.

In the largest part of the Primordial Continent within the virtual universe, a man suddenly opened his eyes within a massive city. “I’ve identified a human with a 100% affinity for Laws!” The moment he woke up, another person quickly appeared.

“One hundred percent, is it a Divine Body?”

“Where is this?”

Soon, the Milky Way’s location was shown within the virtual universe’s map.

“How remote, where could a Divine Body have sprung up? “Hold on, this position… I remember an Ancient God went there…” “So, it’s an Ancient God. Has this race finally decided to join us?” Another man asked, “Should we bring him to the headquarters?”

“No need. Let him develop on his own…”

“Oh right, Du Gang, you haven’t chosen your cultivation technique as a reward for becoming a disciple, have you decided what to choose?”

Upon becoming a disciple, he would be awarded a free cultivation technique of no more than rank five, it could be a cultivation or martial technique.

Du Gang shook his head, “Rank five techniques are all about comprehending concepts, they’re not very useful for me.”

Fan An’s eyes lit up as he said, “Du Gang, if you don’t mind, I can sponsor you with some contribution points…”

“What do you mean?”

“That is, I can give you some of my contribution points to increase the rank of the technique you can obtain…”

Du Gang’s eyes brightened as he asked, “What is the maximum rank of the technique I can obtain?

Fan An smiled and said, “As it stands, you are a named disciple and normally you can exchange a rank five technique. However, with the addition of my contribution, you could upgrade to a rank six technique…”

“If you can break through to the Stellar Level in ten thousand years, you can exchange for an additional rank six technique. At that time, with my contribution, you should be able to exchange for a rank seven technique…”

Rank six techniques signify comprehension of Laws, whereas rank seven techniques relate to Domains.

Of course, one needs to have talent to learn these things. Otherwise, even if they are given to someone with poor talent, they won’t be able to understand.

Du Gang nodded and said, “Alright, thank you, Mr Fan!”

He knew that the person in front of him intended to invest in him, and he had no intention of rejecting. it was a win-win situation.

Fan An was overjoyed, quickly leading Du Gang towards the technique tower.

The techniques are not stored here, but one has to go through the technique tower to verify. Then they head into the virtual universe to accept the legacy.

“Since your strongest Law is the gold law, I suggest you choose a gold-series Laws combat technique…”

Fan An knew that Du Gang had his own legacy and wasn’t lacking in cultivation techniques, so his recommendation was for an offensive technique.

His idea and Du Gang’s plan coincided well. He had the Ancient God Technique and, with his Ancient God physique, he hardly needed to cultivate using techniques.

Therefore, for him, a Law-focused offensive technique would be the best choice.

“I indeed need a gold-series Secret Law…”

Fan An, hearing that Du Gang had adopted his suggestion, was relieved and smiled, “Du Gang, the Technique Tower has many types of techniques. You should try to find one that suits you. For instance, if you have a weapon preference, you should find a technique that allows you to use that weapon…” Soon, the two arrived at the Technique Tower, Fan An verified Du Gang’s status and then verified his own. Then, he turned to Du Gang and said, “Wait here for me. Once I leave, enter the virtual universe through this room. You will go directly into the technique tower, and remember, don’t come out until you’ve made a choice…”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Du Gang alone in the technique tower.

“Whew.”

Du Gang exhaled, full of excitement.

He had actually reached the limit of his comprehensions long ago and was ready to comprehend the Laws, but didn’t have the right technique which slowed his progress.

Now being able to select a Law technique meant that he was going to take a step into a new realm!

After adjusting his mindset, he entered the virtual universe as Fan An instructed.

When he opened his eyes, he really wasn’t randomly transferred to any location on White Dragon Mountain like usual.

He was now in an incredibly ancient-looking tower with books everywhere.

Just when he thought he had to go through each book one by one, a small elf suddenly appeared in front of him inside the attic.

“Hello, I am the attic elf. You can currently choose a sixth-rank technique, please state your requirements…”

Understanding that the elf would select for him, Du Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “I want a gold element spear technique with an attack type!”

No sooner had he spoken than his surroundings changed to the interior of an office, and books began to appear out of thin air on the desk.

In no time at all, the entire desk was filled with books.

Moreover, the most incredible thing was that as the books increased, the desk kept stretching out, elongating itself.

By the time Du Gang had reacted, a long table that seemed to have no end had appeared before him.

“Is all this it?” he asked in surprise.

The elf smiled and affirmed, “Yes indeed!” Immediately, Du Gang casually took up a book.

“Huo Family Spear Technique…”

He leafed through it and found that this Huo Family Spear Technique was a comprehensive tutorial from a beginner level all the way to the final layer, where one could comprehend the Laws.

This implied that this technique had a maximum rank of six.

After giving it some thought, Du Gang asked tentatively, “Are there any techniques that start at the sixth rank?”

Following his question, the original table instantly vanished and a new one appeared in its stead. Innumerable secret books began to appear, and within a short while as before, books piled up till the other end of the desk was out of sight.

He picked up a book this time, and as he suspected, its initial stage was indeed the sixth rank. It was also apparent that subsequent techniques of the same kind existed, but he could not see them because his Contribution was insufficient.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Among these techniques, are there any whose subsequent techniques reach beyond the Eternal Level?”

“I’m sorry, your current level is too low. I cannot answer your question…” the elf replied.

“Then, are there any that reach the Eternal Level that I can currently practice?”

“I’m sorry, your current level is too low. I cannot answer your question…” the elf responded again.

Not giving up, Du Gang asked once more, “Are there any that reach Sector Lord

After finishing his question, the long table transformed again, revealing new techniques. As before, the table seemed to stretch into an endless horizon.

“All these attack techniques are of the sixth rank, but they can be cultivated to the eighth rank. This means that even if I break through later, I can still exchange for a similar technique…” He thought.

Once this was settled, he began to make his selections quickly.

After a full day of selection, he finally chose the “Red Gold Spear Technique”. It comprised nine layers — the first three for sixth -rank cultivation, the middle three for seventh-rank, and the last three for eighth-rank. Consequently, he could only see the first three layers.

After he made his choice, he was engulfed in darkness. When he reappeared, he had turned into a silhouette.

Before he could even comprehend what was happening, this silhouette started demonstrating the spear technique.

He quickly realized that he was now in the process of receiving the inheritance and promptly focused his attention on observing the silhouette.

After an unknown length of time, when he next woke up, he found that he had been returned to the main hall of the Technique Pavilion outside the virtual cosmic space.

Once he had returned, he promptly left the place, “Mr. Fan, do you have a secret chamber for practicing the secret techniques?” he asked.

Fan An smiled and replied, “From now on, call me Brother Fan. Come, I’ll take you there!”

Soon, the two arrived at a secluded chamber.

“This chamber has been specially established for cultivating the Laws. Go on in! ”

Fan An had received an inheritance before and knew that the period immediately after was the most critical — it was then when the influence of the inheritance was felt the most, and the best chance to comprehend the Laws would surface.

Not being overly polite, Du Gang quickly stepped into the chamber.

Just as he entered, he was taken aback by the sheer size of the chamber, which was as spacious as a plaza. But he did not hesitate and closed the door behind him before promptly starting to practice.

His motions were exactly the same as the silhouette’s during the inheritance.

Whether it was any single move or pause, all of them were identical to the silhouette’s.

It took him a whole hour to rehearse all the spear techniques he had learned once.

Thereafter, in the second hour, he commenced rehearsing only the move techniques contained in the first layer.

With every thrust of the spear, he was so immersed that he lost track of time.

This time, he practiced continuously for three days and three nights.

By the time it was the fourth day, the spear in his hand seemed to have reached its limit.

Just when the whole space started to tremble, Du Gang suddenly halted.

“So, this is the mystery of the Laws!”

At this moment, a surge of golden Law energy around him followed his movements, attaching to him left and right.

During his spear practice, he had gradually been brought into a mysterious realm.

Slowly, he began to sense the presence of the Laws.

In comparison to the Laws, he was far too insignificant. Simultaneously, in his eyes, the Laws were extremely profound.

What he comprehended was not the complete Gold Element Laws.

The Gold Element Laws were too vast and boundless, containing numerous mysteries. What he had understood was merely the Sharp Gold mystery

Dresent within the Gold Element Laws.

It was one of the mysteries contained within the Gold Element Laws.

Moreover, this mystery was only something he had understood up to 1% of its entirety.

“The world of the Laws is truly huge. I wonder how many mysteries the Gold Element Laws actually contain!”

The mystery of Sharp Gold is one kind of the Gold Element Laws. He had only understood one percent of it, but his attack power had seemingly increased nearly tenfold.

What if he understood one hundred percent of it? Would it enhance his attack power by a thousand times?

At that time, the divine charm in his mind from the inheritance had dissipated, meaning the effects of the ‘Red Gold Spear Technique’ enhancement were gone, so there was no point in staying here anymore.

Therefore, he left the secret room. Once he was out, as expected, Fan An was still standing at the door.

“Brother Fan!”

Upon seeing Du Gang, Fan An instantly lit up, and asked anxiously, “How is it? Have you comprehended the inheritance?”

Du Gang nodded, grinning, “It went well, I’ve grasped one percent of one of the mysteries of the Gold Element Laws…”

‘What?”

Fan An was shocked, “You have directly understood a mystery all at once?”

Du Gang asked with confusion, “Is it that difficult?”

Fan An, watching his innocent demeanor, opened his mouth but was temporarily at a loss for words.

So this is what it’s like to be a genius!

It took Fan An a while to muster up the courage to say, “I thought that with the divine charm, you’d be able to master perhaps ten percent to twenty percent of the technique you learned. Who knew you’d understand the mystery embedded in the Laws! So, have you mastered the entire technique?”

Du Gang nodded, “Yes, I chose a Gold Element Spear Technique. There are three levels in Rank Six and I have mastered them all…”

“Impressive!”

Fan An gave a thumbs up. Normally, this kind of technique imbued with Laws needed to fully comprehend all three levels, understand their real meanings, then rely on an amazing comprehension ability and luck to possibly grasp the mystery of the Laws.

You must know when he chose this type of Laws-imbued technique, he only mastered the three levels using the inheritance’s divine charm at the moment of his emergence, yet it was so shocking to his eldest brother at the time.

Who would have guessed that Du Gang would be even more terrifying, mastering the mystery directly.

Du Gang faintly smiled, and asked, “Brother Fan, what exactly is the mystery of the Laws? how many of them are there?”

Fan An, hearing his stern question, instantly assumed a serious look. Such a gifted boy working so hard will have no limit on his future achievements.

He righteously said, “I don’t understand much about the world of the Laws. As to how many mysteries a set of Laws hold, I don’t know either…”

“But, I do know that when you have fully comprehended a mystery, you will naturally understand the Domain…’

“The more thoroughly you comprehend, the more Domains you’ll master…”

“When you have reached nine Domains, you will be able to understand the world. I can’t even begin to imagine that realm. In other words, Domain Lord-level powerhouses will naturally possess nine fully comprehended, flawless mysteries!”

Du Gang suddenly realized, and said, “So under normal circumstances, a person who has fully comprehended one mystery would understand the

Domain, thus reaching Domain Lord Rank?”

Fan An shook his head, “Not necessarily. If a person’s body doesn’t have any heavenly constraints, then naturally once they understand the Domain, they can advance to Domain Lord Rank…”

“But, it’s a pity that not all people who understand a Domain can advance to Domain Lord Level…

“As I said earlier, comprehension is one thing, and the body is another. Some people may have a Domain at the Stellar level but are unable to break through to the Cosmic level throughout their whole life!”

‘Whereas others may not even have any comprehension at the Stellar level and yet successfully break through to the Cosmic level, it’s really unpredictable…”

“Therefore, in normal cultivation, a person grasps the mystery behind something at the Stellar level, comprehends a profound mystery of the Laws at the Cosmic level, achieves a full understanding and masters a Domain in Domain Lord level, whereas a Sector Lord is someone who has fully understood nine mysteries of the Laws and thus possesses nine Domains, and above that, I have never heard of!”

When Fan An said this, he suddenly mentioned, “However, there are exceptions. I have been fortunate to have seen a prodigy who possessed multi-domains at the Stellar level, comparable to the Domain Lord Level. He did not break through because he was supposedly consolidating his skills and intentionally suppressing his rank for his future breakthrough to Eternity. I don’t know the details…”

“But don’t worry too much about it, only prodigies are likely to do this, someone ordinary like us should focus on breaking through when we can!” Having said that, he began to talk about himself.

“For example, me. I’m at the Ninth Rank of the Cosmic level, with one fully comprehended mystery and I possess one Law, but the other mystery I’ve only understood to about five percent…”

“In theory, since I have a Domain, I should be able to break through the Domain Lord Level. But the bodily limitation is too severe, I have no clues on how to break through to the Domain Lord Level. Now, I don’t get much from absorbing any resources…”

“So, Brother Fan, can you fight with a general Domain Lord Level person?”

Fan An shook his head, “It’s hard. You should know that what affects fighting power is not just the Domain, there are other factors too, like the strength of their body and their Star Power level…”

“However, if I had two Domains, I should be able to crush a Domain Lord Level who only has one Domain in terms of attack power. Of course, the exact situation can only be known after a real fight!”

When he said this, Fan An suddenly said, “That’s right, Du Gang, you need to practice diligently. In two more years, the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition, held once every five thousand years, will come again..

“Cosmic Peak Talents Competition?” Du Gang vaguely remembered Bala Bala mentioning it, but he had other issues to consider then and did not ask about it.

Fan An carried a reminiscent emotion and remarked emotionally, “This might be the grandest competition I have participated in my lifetime…” Without making Du Gang wait too long, he began to explain.

“The Cosmic Peak Talents Competition is a competition jointly held by the four major companies and all the cosmic nations…”

“Everyone under ten thousand years of age can participate. The minimum cultivation level required is Planet Level. The maximum has no limit. Even Sector Lord Level under ten thousand years old can participate…”

“Sector Lord Level?”

Du Gang was a bit surprised. The four major companies have set the selection criteria for outer sect disciples to break through to the Stellar level within ten thousand years, and under these circumstances, only four or five individuals can break through in the Milky Way Galaxy in a year.

As a result, upon hearing that there were Sector Lord Level powerhouses under the age of ten thousand, he was indeed surprised.

“Yes!”

Fan An smiled, “You did not mishear. A Sector Lord Level under the age of ten thousand. When I first heard about such powerhouses as well, I was also shocked…

“Such beings are typically either the prodigies of high-level cosmic nations or the prodigies of the cosmic center…”

“However, all we can do now is to watch their competitions. The likelihood of competing on the same stage as them is rather small…”

Seeing Du Gang’s expressionless face, he laughed, “You’re still young, you’re 17 this year. You can expand your horizons in this Cosmic Peak Talents Competition and accumulate some experience.. Then, in the next competition in five thousand years, you can participate…”
