Chapter 21 Three Years in Chaos City: Luo Feng's Amazing Talent!
Chapter 21 Three Years in Chaos City: Luo Feng's Amazing Talent!
The battle of geniuses has concluded, with little change in the final rankings!
[Berlan remains the undisputed leader, followed by Longyun.]
[You were unlucky; you encountered Bolan early on and ultimately ranked ninth, entering the Primordial Secret Realm along with Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and others.]
[Year 65, Reflections on Time, Style 244/312.]
[The Genius Battle has ended. Because of your astonishing progress in the final stages, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom has chosen to accept you as a disciple and has recommended a Grandmaster of the Time Law lineage from Chaos City to you.]
[You departed the Qianwu Secret Realm aboard a spaceship, breaking through to the cosmic level along the way. Your understanding of the laws increased tenfold, your lifespan increased to 100,000 years, and the simulation time was reduced tenfold.]
[Upon entering Chaos City, the simulation time was reduced by a factor of three again.]
[Simulated countdown: 33 years.]
[In your first year in Chaos City, you chose the "Time Chaos Monument" to attend classes under the Grandmaster "King Chongguang" of the Time lineage.]
King Chongguang cares deeply for you, and since you are a disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, he has given you considerable guidance in private.
[Time Capsule 251/312 Style!]
Upon entering Chaos City, Bolan successfully crossed two levels of the Heavenly Bridge, and then, in the eighth month, he crossed the third level, far ahead of the competition.
Many geniuses were amazed by this, but the higher-ups felt that Berlan was digging his own grave! Because Berlan's talent in spatial laws was superior, there was no need for him to also cultivate time laws.
[Because you've been focusing on understanding the laws of time, your progress in the lower-level laws has stagnated. This has caused concern among King Chongguang, who privately reminded you that the early stages of the Time Chaos Stele rely more on the lower-level laws, implying that neglecting the lower-level laws will lead to the failure of the Bridge to Heaven.]
The masters of the Timeline believe you are a lower-tier version of Berlan. You clearly have a stronger talent for the laws of light, yet you insist on trying to comprehend higher-level laws at the cosmic level—it's a complete waste of time.
[A major event also occurred this year: Rong Jun became the disciple of the Universe King, becoming the second genius after you to become a disciple of the Universe Venerable, and he also passed the first level of the Bridge to Heaven.]
This move greatly provoked Luo Feng, Wu Ka, and others.
In the same year, Luo Feng passed the first level.
You remained indifferent, immersed in your contemplation of the laws of time.
[Year 5 of Chaos City, Time Travelogue 278/312]
[You feel you've hit a bottleneck again, so head to the City Lord's Mansion and use your free attempts to study the 'Time Chaos Stele'.]
You pass by an old-fashioned building and see Luo Feng diligently practicing "Bloodstained Swords" on the rooftop.
Based on the timeline, Luo Feng entered the realm of spatial laws in the tenth year of Chaos City, and after that, he stormed to the third level of the Bridge to Heaven in one go.
Logically, your understanding of the higher-level laws is deeper, and you should have already passed the third level of the Bridge to Heaven. However, because your understanding of the lower-level laws is shallower, the higher-level laws are like castles in the air, unable to support the second level of the Time Glove. Therefore, even if you fully comprehend the second nature of time, you still need to complete your understanding of the lower-level laws.
[Berlan made this mistake: in cultivating the dual laws of space and time, he only pursued the rapid progress of the higher law. As a result, the lower law was neglected, the higher law encountered a bottleneck, the rate of progress slowed down, causing the pace to be dragged on and on, until finally he voluntarily abandoned the law of time.]
Even after choosing to major in the laws of space and diverting some of his energy to complete the lower-level laws, Bolan remained the exceptional genius who appeared only once every tens of thousands of epochs.
[After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion and studying the 'Time Chaos Stele' for seven days, many of the questions that had been troubling you became clear.]
With the assistance of the two secret techniques, "Time Chronicles" and "Timeline," the Time Tablet as a reference, and guidance from a Grandmaster, the speed of progress began to soar.
[Year 10 of Chaos City, Time Notes 309/312, just a hair's breadth away from enlightenment.]
The news that Luo Feng had passed the second and third levels of the Heavenly Bridge shocked many of his peers, and even Bo Lan felt the pressure.
[In ten years, he grasped the essence of the first type of space; his progress was truly astonishing.]
Although you are about to comprehend the essence of the second time law, you know deep down that you are still inferior to Luo Feng in terms of talent.
[If your progress in Chaos City was roughly the same as Luo Feng's in the first ten years, the gap has widened significantly as time has progressed.]
[Luo Feng spent thirty years in Chaos City, comprehending nine spatial essences and crossing five levels of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[You estimate that, with your understanding of the Chaos Time Stele, you will be able to comprehend the essence of the third type of space; this is already your limit!]
[The 11th year of Chaos City, Time Notes 312/312 Style.]
[King Chongguang didn't praise you; instead, he felt you were somewhat stubborn, insisting on listening to the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler's explanation of the second nature of time, thus delaying your cultivation.]
After achieving your real-world goals, humbly seek guidance, comprehend the second and third levels of the Time Gloves, delve into the lower-level laws, and improve your overall strength.
The Bridge to Heaven corresponds to the Chaos Stele.
The Time Chaos Monument emphasizes the simultaneous progress of the laws of light and time, rather than highlighting either one.
Therefore, even if you fully comprehend the essence of the two higher laws, at most you'll be like Berlan, passing through the first two levels.
[King Chongguang thought you were discouraged and comforted you, telling you to follow the steps of the Time Chaos Stele to improve your overall strength, and you'll catch up with Luo Feng sooner or later.]
【you:........】
You know you can't catch up.
[Year 15 of Chaos City, 12/36 types of light essence.]
[In the same year, most geniuses had already passed the first level of the Bridge to Heaven.]
[You, a genius who has just entered the realm of the laws of time, have never even attempted to break through, which has attracted the attention of King Longyu, who has specially gone to visit King Chongguang to inquire about the reason.]
[Upon learning that you were unwilling to venture forth, King Longyu was quite surprised and praised your strong willpower, saying, "How could you bear to do this?"]
In reality, who wouldn't want to rush across the Tongtian Bridge, even if it means getting carried away, and test their progress?
Li Yang accelerated the simulation...
[Year 19, 16/36 types of light essence.]
[You've finally grasped the secret runes of the light laws contained in the third level of the Time Gloves, and now you have roughly the strength of the third level of the Bridge to Heaven. You've decided to go and try your luck on the Bridge to Heaven.]
In the same year, Luo Feng comprehended the third essential principle of the laws of space and successfully passed the fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven.
[The fifth level requires a thorough understanding of the essence of 6 higher-level laws and the essence of 18 lower-level laws.]
The sixth level requires a thorough understanding of the essence of 12 higher-level laws and 24 lower-level laws; ultimately, only Bolan passed the sixth level.
Your goal is simple: focus on solid training during this simulation, and train to whatever level you can. There's plenty of time.
If we can't surpass it this time, we'll try simulating it again next time!
[Until you can speedrun the Genius Battle!]
[Complete the Trial Tower, be invincible in Chaos City for thirty years, and swiftly conquer the cosmic-level Primal Tongtian Mountain upon first entering the Primal Secret Realm!]
Of course, you can also simulate it again in Chaos City. Although the simulation time is three times more expensive, the cultivation effect is increased dozens of times.
[You've kept a low profile for years, then chose to unleash your power in one fell swoop, successfully conquering the first, second, and third levels of the Heavenly Bridge.]
[You receive a one-time reward of 6000 points and three opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Monument. You plan to follow the path of the Time Chaos Monument to comprehensively enhance your understanding of the laws.]
[The journey through Chaos City is drawing to a close.]
