The Fire Thief Chapter 1: Breaking Out of the Shell
The monster hordes on land and in the sky were defeated by the human counterattack. In just over a month, the haze above their heads was almost swept away.
Human reconstruction plans are also being implemented in an orderly manner.
Lin Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although this matter had become inevitable as his strength grew, he was still in a much happier mood when he actually saw this day coming.
He got together with his old friends, but now that his identity was different, it was inevitable that they would become estranged.
But there is no other way around it. Lin Yan can only do his best and let everything else take its course.
Whether in terms of talent or status, the gap has been getting bigger and bigger. No matter how hard they try, it is not enough to see his back. Lin Yan also spends more time on cultivation, and the number of times they meet is getting less and less.
Chu Wei, Chen Lian and others also gradually got married and started their own families and became much more mature.
However, those friends all have good personalities, and they all have a friendship of sharing weal and woe, so Lin Yan's training of them is beyond standard, and Lin Yan also hopes that they can go further.
He also took this opportunity to return the third-class medal of honor that he had kept to Jia Yan.
This was the medal his brother received for his first meritorious service during his lifetime. Back then in City 032, Lin Yan had promised to return it to him personally when those brilliant ideals came true.
He did not break that promise.
It was also the first time that he saw the burly, strong-willed man with tears in his eyes.
Those who are willing to die for their ideals deserve a bright future.
…
December 27th.
At this year's end, deep under the Pacific Ocean.
A small pile of crimson metal appeared out of nowhere, and a huge beast covered with black scales opened its mouth. The sea water in the water seemed to be sucked into a bottomless abyss, and the crimson metal was also enveloped and swallowed up.
A pile of black iron essence suddenly appeared on the metal continent in the world inside the golden-horned beast's body. It turned into thick golden mist as if it had vaporized. Its volume slowly shrank, and the golden mist around it became thicker and thicker. After about five minutes, 92 tons of black iron essence completely disappeared.
“Boom…”
The metal continent trembled.
The overwhelming golden mist enveloped the entire continent. A large amount of metal mist quickly solidified and became part of the continent, making the entire continent bigger and bigger.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Everything stop!
The body size of the golden-horned beast was also increasing rapidly until it stopped growing. At this moment, its body length had reached 420 meters!
"Haha, it's already at the fourth level of the star class now." There was a hint of joy in the huge dark golden eyes of the golden-horned beast.
Babata chewed an apple in the smart space on his wrist and said, "Your inner world grows fastest in the first three stages, and ordinary evolution only takes a year and a half. Under normal circumstances, you are only at the second star level at most now."
"But devouring 92 tons of B8-level black iron essence every day has accelerated this speed, so you can break through the fourth level of the star level within a year."
"However, Luo Feng, your Black Iron Essence has almost been used up. You won't be able to upgrade so quickly next time."
Luo Feng also felt the pressure. The world inside his body was like a bottomless pit. Lin Yan gave him 30,000 tons of B8 grade metal black iron essence, but in less than a year, he had almost eaten it up.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Luo Feng found that he had broken through the fourth level of the star class, and the world inside his body had further grown. His original earthling clone needed more than twenty days to be conceived and born, but now it had actually skipped that period of time and was about to be conceived successfully.
He was ecstatic.
5 hours later——
Above the Metal Continent.
An oval egg is suspended.
"Crack, crack." Cracks gradually appeared on the eggshell. After an arm stretched out from the eggshell, the eggshell finally shattered, and a naked, strong man with short black hair was suspended in the air.
"Hahahaha..." A strange color flashed across the man's eyes.
brush!
Disappeared out of thin air, and at the same moment—BOOM!
The huge golden-horned beast also disappeared in an instant from the depths of the Pacific Ocean and appeared on the metal continent.
"Finally, it's finally back to normal." Luo Feng's eyes were filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
He took out a set of clothes from the space ring that he had prepared long ago and put them on.
"boom!"
Luo Feng stepped on the Sky Shuttle and quickly broke through the sea water.
…
January 5th.
Tianjing Base City, Hanjin Pavilion.
Luo Feng stepped on the Sky Shuttle and landed. The Azure Dragon of the East China Sea in the lake stared at him closely, emitting a dangerous aura.
It has now become a king-level monster, but on Earth today, king-level monsters are nothing.
It sank into the lake again only after Lin Yan walked out of the main hall.
"I thought you would contact me later." Lin Yan looked at Luo Feng and smiled, "Well, how do you feel?"
He knew a few days ago that Luo Feng had returned, but he hadn't seen his parents and wife for a year, and his child had been born for several months, so naturally he had to put his family first.
"This opportunity is so precious. I have to thank you very much." Luo Feng said sincerely.
Because now he felt really good.
A year ago, he was just a planetary-level third-order spiritualist, but now, he has become a stellar-level fourth-order golden-horned behemoth.
The speed at which the golden-horned beast progresses is truly terrifying.
Moreover, after transforming from his previous body into the current clone of the golden-horned beast, his own earthling body has also benefited a lot.
Firstly, he is now the same as the golden-horned beast. His vital parts are his prokaryotic soul and the world inside his body. Even if his head is destroyed, he will not die. As long as there is energy supply, he can still grow again.
Secondly, he originally had to rely on himself to cultivate his mental power slowly, but now the level of the golden-horned beast is too different from his own. As long as the body can bear it, the level of human mental power can be directly improved.
He is now a planetary fourth-level warrior, and his special ability is the golden "Vajra Body". His physical strength is comparable to the physical body of a planetary fifth-level warrior, and is enough to carry a planetary seventh-level soul.
If Lin Yan had not given him this opportunity, he would at most be a planetary level 5 warrior and a level 4 spiritualist.
This gap was clearly before him, and Luo Feng became more and more aware of the importance of this opportunity.
This is far beyond the comparison of the secret cultivation techniques of Yunmo Star.
Lin Yan smiled, his words were like a spring breeze: "We came from the same earth, so naturally we have to help each other. This golden-horned beast has the best compatibility with you. I can get what I want, so I am naturally willing to help you."
"You don't have to feel that you owe me anything. Just practice hard."
Luo Feng nodded slightly, but still kept it in his heart.
Lin Yan called out, "Let's go in and talk. Hong and Lei Shen should be here soon."
They walked into the reception room, and after a while, two men, one in black and one in white, also walked in.
Lei Shen laughed and punched Luo Feng on the chest: "Good boy, you have been in seclusion for a year without making any noise. How have you achieved this year?"
Luo Feng was somewhat proud: "Is being a planetary level 7 spiritual master considered an achievement?"
Lei Shen couldn't help but glared: "You reached level seven from level three in one year?"
He knew that Luo Feng only progressed from level one to level three in the past year. The gap was too big. Cultivation was supposed to be easy at first and difficult later. How could this be possible?
Luo Feng laughed.
Lin Yan also smiled and said, "You guys sit down."
Both of them sat down. Lin Yan looked at them. The three people in front of him were the three strongest people on Earth except himself , and also the three people with the most potential.
It can be said that there are only four people present on Earth who have the potential to become strong as soon as possible.
People like Jia Yi had much poorer aptitude and comprehension, so Lin Yan taught a few close friends of his the basic secret techniques of the Yunmo lineage warriors. This was enough for them to study for a long time, and he would provide them with training resources in the future, but their potential was ultimately insufficient.
This world is actually very demanding. Comprehension, opportunity, talent, resources, secret techniques, etc. If you lack any one of them, you will be inferior to others. If you lack too many of them, you will not have the potential to become a strong person at all.
There is no soil for ordinary people or waste people at all.
Therefore, Lin Yan still hopes to provide them with more help within his ability. They are also Earthlings and have good character, so they deserve Lin Yan's attention.
Like in the original novel, the top geniuses Zhan Hong and Lei Shen were eliminated in the preliminary round and the ring match. In fact, strictly speaking, if they were stronger, it would be impossible for the top thousand in the universe to enter the Virtual Universe Company, but there is a great hope to enter the top thousand in the Qianwu Universe.
In that way, you will also be eligible to join the forbidden area of Qianwu Universe - Qianwu Secret Realm, and receive the top training.
Human growth is inseparable from opportunities. Missing important opportunities means wasting more time, and it may be impossible to make up for it.
If Luo Feng had not relied on the breakthrough to the cosmic level of the golden-horned behemoth and the second clone of the Demon Killer Clan, strictly speaking it would have been considered cheating, and that was how he was able to reach the top thousand in the Star Genius Battle Universe.
If he had not been able to enter the Virtual Universe Company, the top force of the human race, his growth trajectory would have been inevitably affected.
Therefore, the opportunity to compete with top geniuses is something that each of them must seize.
The elegant fragrance of tea permeates the reception room.
Hong's eyes lit up: "Lin Yan, is this the new tea you developed?"
Lin Yan nodded.
"I have arranged for professionals to carefully develop more than just this one. You can take some back with you later."
He is now able to make vessels to store the essence of life, so he arranged for others to study various new plants, among which "tea" is particularly valued by Lin Yan.
This thing can be sold in the virtual universe network in the future. It is very valuable. It won’t be a waste if you study it more.
Lei Shen complained at this time: "Lin Yan, you don't know that the last time Brother Hong took the Wuyi Dahongpao from you, he usually didn't want to give it to me to drink. Our decades of brotherly love can't stand the test."
Hong rolled his eyes at him and said, "You stay at my place all day, how can I have so much?"
Thor smiled awkwardly.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Tell me, I'll ask you to put it in a sack later."
"ah?"
Hong was a little surprised. What did it mean to put it in a sack?
He had always thought that there must not be much of this thing, so he was embarrassed to ask Lin Yan for it. But, it turned out that Lin Yan's bag was actually packed in a sack?
He was deeply distressed.
He regretted his decision.
After a while of chatting and laughing, Hong finally got to the point: "Lin Yan, you said before that you had something to tell us, what is it?"
Lei Shen and Luo Feng were also curious.
Lin Yan poured a cup of tea and said calmly, "I plan to take a spaceship in the near future to leave the Milky Way and go to a prosperous planet in the universe. Are you interested?"
"Go to other planets with life in the universe?"
Hong and the other two were all stunned and looked shocked.
