Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 28

"With this martial arts manual, the physical fitness of all humanity can be greatly improved, and perhaps in the future there will be a chance to reach the level of martial arts masters for all people," Hong and Lei Shen said with emotion.

For martial artists on Earth at this time, who previously relied mainly on grueling training, they now have access to highly scientific training methods.

"By the way, does this martial art have a name?" Thor suddenly asked.

"The first set of broadcast gymnastics for primary and secondary school students!"

Lu Yunhe replied without hesitation, "A student should act like a student. This name is just right."

Upon hearing the name, Hong and Thor's lips twitched slightly, but clearly they had no say in the matter and could only let the name be established.

Subsequently, Hong and Lei Shen also stayed at Lu Yunhe's house for a period of time before reluctantly leaving under the urging of their respective forces.

After all, both of their respective factions need their pillars to return and oversee them, so they can't stay away for long periods of time.

With Lu Yunhe's consent, Hong and Lei Shen returned and immediately passed on this first set of broadcast gymnastics martial arts within their sphere of influence.

Lu Yunhe wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he summoned Jia Yi and asked him to arrange for some true masters to continue revising the cultural core of the first set of martial arts.

Chapter 44 Cosmic Primal Energy Fruit

"Yunhe, the first set of gymnastics you created has already spread all over the world."

Inside the villa, Jia Yi, having gathered considerable information, immediately sought out Lu Yunhe.

Lu Yunhe didn't care at all. He had never intended to keep the creation of this gymnastic martial arts a secret. With his vision, he wouldn't stoop to such a level.

"Let them learn it. I, the creator, am not in a hurry, so why are you all in such a rush!"

Lu Yunhe waved his hand, signaling Jia Yi to calm down and ignore the outside influences.

"I'm actually fine, but some people are very anxious, after all, it's a matter of great importance to the entire country!"

Since Hong and Thor returned, the first set of gymnastic martial arts has spread throughout the world. However, as the birthplace of this martial art, China has shown no intention of spreading it.

Unfortunately, given Lu Yunhe's strength and status as the creator, it was difficult for the higher-ups to promote this on a large scale nationwide without his approval.

"Actually, it's about right!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the second set of primary and secondary school broadcast gymnastics martial arts, which had been revised by everyone over several months. It was quite perfect in all aspects, and the rest could be revised slowly in the future.

"Give!"

Lu Yunhe handed the paper documents and CD to Jia Yi, leaving the rest to them.

"Ok!"

Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the item. The reason they waited for Lu Yunhe's approval, besides considering his personal strength, was that they believed the martial arts technique was most likely obtained from a cultural relic, and there might be some unknown issues involved.

After all, Lu Yunhe's departure was related to the ruins of civilization, and then he returned and created this martial arts manual, making extensive modifications to it. There must be some inside story behind it.

After Jia Yi returned, the revised second set of broadcast gymnastics for primary and secondary school students began to spread in several major bases across the country. Not only primary and secondary school students, but even adults and martial artists began to practice it.

Those who received the first edition abroad breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the updates only covered the historical allusions, and some even couldn't help but feel a sense of sarcasm.

As a martial arts manual designed to improve human physical fitness, it's foolish to put the cart before the horse by including cultural knowledge instead of focusing on the martial arts itself.

Many people have already foreseen that the future belongs to martial artists; the more powerful a martial artist there is, the more influence they will have.

As for Lu Yunhe, external opinions had absolutely no effect on him, because he didn't even use the internet on Earth. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time exploring the fundamental laws of the universe?

Having initially addressed the fitness-oriented martial arts for primary and secondary school students, the next step is naturally to develop martial arts techniques that incorporate combat elements for high school students.

Lu Yunhe had only one initial idea regarding this, mainly focusing on the concept of lightness and heaviness, so that those who practiced this martial art would not need to deliberately pursue the influence of the weight of weapons.

Instead of choosing easy-to-use weapons due to increased strength after becoming a martial artist or unfamiliarity with them, you can choose weapons you like.

Just as Lu Yunhe was pondering the first set of military boxing for high school students, good news came from the Divine Tree clone.

In less than six months, the Divine Tree clone had already begun preparing to break through to the planetary level.

At this moment, the energy pyramid in the desert has completely transformed into the shape of a divine tree. The entire pyramid space has been hollowed out and is filled with rows of mummies, or more accurately, White Zetsu.

After discovering that the Divine Tree clones could create White Zetsu, the monsters of Africa suffered, being captured and turned into White Zetsu to provide the Divine Tree clones with cosmic energy.

However, after experiments by the Divine Tree's clones, the maximum number of White Zetsu was 100,000. But once this number was reached, a large portion of the primal energy absorbed by the White Zetsu could not be absorbed in time and would spill back into the universe.

The number of White Zetsu that can perfectly absorb the cosmic energy provided by the White Zetsu is 10081, which is just the right number.

One hundred thousand and 10081 are two magical numbers in the sky of Swallowed Star. In addition, there is also 100. These numbers are all very special.

After understanding the unique nature of this world, the Divine Tree clone only captured 10081 monsters to create White Zetsu, providing it with cosmic energy, including ten planetary-level monsters.

With the help of numerous White Zetsu monsters, the Divine Tree clone was about to break through to the Stellar level in less than half a year. The speed was astonishing, and it even managed to create a Planetary level Divine Tree fruit.

During the breakthrough of the Divine Tree clone, Lu Yunhe finally confirmed one of his conjectures.

As is well known, when the top races in the universe naturally grow and break through their realms, nearly half of the time spent on accumulating experience for each major realm breakthrough is spent on this process.

Taking the Golden Horned Beast from the original work as an example, it takes about 45 years to grow naturally from the early stage of the first rank of the star to the peak of the ninth rank of the star. However, it takes nearly 50 years to break through from the ninth rank of the star to the cosmic level. In other words, the entire star level takes nearly 100 years.

However, Lu Yunhe now discovered that because the Ultraman clone has already broken through to the stellar level, the Divine Tree clone will not be stuck at the planetary and stellar levels, and will not require a long period of accumulation.

However, unlike humans, who only have one level of genes and can directly break through to the peak of their realm, the divine tree avatar, which has ten times the gene level, needs some accumulation when breaking through to a higher realm.

Originally, it would take half a year to break through to the Stellar level, but now it may only take a month. And because of White Zetsu, it will only take a few days to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Planetary level.

This discovery relieved Lu Yunhe. He had thought that because the clone was a cheat-like ability, he would have to start over even if he broke through his cultivation level, but now it seemed that all he needed to do was accumulate energy.

I'm going away for a few days!

Lu Yunhe informed his family and took out a regular fighter jet modified by Delacion from his storage space, which was more suitable for flight within the planet.

Lu Yunhe's trip was not for the breakthrough of the divine tree avatar, but for the divine tree fruit that had already been cultivated.

Traveling in a specially designed fighter jet, Lu Yunhe quickly arrived at the location of the Divine Tree clone.

"so big!"

Lu Yunhe was startled as soon as he entered the door. Some things cannot be perceived in consciousness; they must be perceived through visual impact.

The entire base of the pyramid has been hollowed out, and a tree trunk, tens of thousands of meters tall, stands in the center like a pillar reaching to the heavens.

That's right, the main trunk of the Divine Tree clone at the planetary peak alone is already tens of thousands of meters long, not even counting the other branches created using Wood Release.

Plant life is truly terrifying!

Chapter 45 The Third Clone

"How enormous! No wonder it's called the World of Swallowing the Stars!"

Seeing the true form of the Divine Tree's clone from a human perspective was indeed quite a shock to Lu Yunhe. After all, his Giant of Light clone was only about twenty meters tall, not even as big as the White Zetsu hanging on the branches of the Divine Tree's clone.

Moreover, this is only a planetary-level divine tree. When it reaches the realm lord level or immortal level, and the plant's life reaches its limit, its body will become even larger, even far exceeding the sun.

Feeling the size of the divine tree's clone, Lu Yunhe even doubted that even if all the nuclear bombs on Earth were tied together, they might not be able to kill this enormous plant.

The entire divine tree is divided into two parts: one is the core trunk of the flower at the top, which is equivalent to the height of the tree itself; the other part is the branches that extend through the Wood Release technique, which constitutes the volume of the divine tree.

The two components give the sacred tree not only height, but also a corresponding size.

In reality, the current situation is due to the Divine Tree's clones suppressing its power. After all, they are on Earth, and it's not appropriate to recklessly use Wood Release to multiply its power. If there were no restrictions, the Divine Tree's size could increase even further.

However, Lu Yunhe's purpose in coming here was not to see the size of the divine tree clone. After being slightly shocked, he turned his attention to the flower at the top of the main trunk of the divine tree clone.

call out!

Lu Yunhe flew for a while before arriving in front of the divine tree flower, which then opened at the right time, allowing him to fly inside.

Within the Divine Tree Flower was another hidden world, with eight-colored light enveloping the entire barrier, and a smaller Divine Tree Flower still standing there.

"What are you doing with this set of dolls?!"

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but complain. However, this was because the Divine Tree clone had been specially modified. Otherwise, the size of the Divine Tree fruit would probably be about the same as that of Ultraman's clone.

Eating the fruit at that time would be like a human trying to eat a five-story building full of fruit. Whether he could finish it or not is another matter. For Lu Yunhe, it would just be a laughing stock of himself.

"A planetary-level divine tree fruit!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the fruit in front of him, which was only the size of a human head and emitted light from eight basic attribute energies. Without hesitation, he picked it and ate it.

"belch!"

After finishing his meal, Lu Yunhe burped, then sat cross-legged among the flowers and began refining the energy of the divine tree fruit.

After swallowing a fruit, Lu Yunhe's originally snail-paced cultivation speed instantly became like it had been injected with a rocket booster, leveling up at a speed much faster than his clones.

Planetary level 5%...6%...7%

If Lu Yunhe could activate his smart wristband, he would be able to clearly perceive his upgrade speed.

After the fruit of the Divine Tree was localized, it did not have the effect of instantly becoming a god after eating it in the original world.

However, fruits of the corresponding level can also assist in breaking through realms and accumulating experience between major realms.

In particular, the effect of assisting in breaking through realms is extremely valuable. After all, even peak races need to spend time slowly working their way up to a higher realm, let alone ordinary life forms.

Lu Yunhe's human body was refining the fruit of the Divine Tree, while the Divine Tree clone was accumulating energy to break through to the stellar level. Under the effect of illusion, 10081 White Zetsu were frantically absorbing the primal energy of the universe and converting it into the genetic primal force of the Divine Tree.

Three days later, the Divine Tree clone, having completed its accumulation, easily broke through to the stellar level. Its original size of tens of thousands of meters grew again, and it even touched the Earth's mantle layer before being consciously suppressed.

The entire breakthrough accumulation time only took three days, but the growth stage of the divine tree took several days to stabilize. At this time, Lu Yunhe's main body was still absorbing the energy of the divine tree fruit.

His physical bloodline level was too low, making even absorbing energy inefficient and incredibly slow. The only bright spot was that Lu Yunhe's human body level had broken through to the third tier of planetary cultivation.

The human body slowly absorbed energy, while the Divine Tree clone stopped cultivating and instead directed all the White Zetsu, including the cosmic energy it had absorbed, to use it to create Divine Tree fruits, which were then supplied to the human body for cultivation, allowing it to break through to the Stellar level as soon as possible.

This is also why Lu Yunhe postponed his journey to the universe after obtaining the Divine Tree clone; he saw the possibility of reaching the star level in a short period of time.

After discovering that the fruit of the divine tree was indeed effective, the divine tree clone temporarily stopped cultivating and focused all its efforts on condensing the fruit to help the human body break through.

The divine tree avatar, which had already broken through to the stellar level, along with the cooperation of ten thousand White Zetsu, made the efficiency of fruit production even faster, with the stellar-level divine tree accounting for the majority of the energy.

"So slow!"

However, when absorbing the fruit of the divine tree, Lu Yunhe discovered a problem. It took him a full month to absorb the energy from a single planetary-level divine tree fruit.

This is quite normal, considering that the Divine Tree Fruit itself is very compatible with human absorption and enhancement, and it only takes a month. Keep in mind that even Luo Feng, who has already used the Bloodline Evolution Potion and whose mental power has reached the stellar level, needs a whole day to absorb a single Wood Sprout Crystal, let alone the more precious Divine Tree Fruit.

"The effects of the Divine Tree Fruit are excellent, and my strength is increasing rapidly. Although there are two kinds of joy intertwined, why don't I feel happy?"
