Because the consciousness alone enters the Virtual Universe Network, where the geniuses of the Virtual Universe battle each other, their bodies are simulated by the “Virtual Universe Network” as ninth-rank cosmic-level bodies, identical in physical quality for all participants.
Therefore, the only way to enhance Luo Feng’s power is through his consciousness!
How could he grow stronger?
The Mosha Clan clone is a favored child of spatial laws, the right hoof claw of the Gold-Horned Beast is his ultimate trump card, and even his Earthling main body is a Blood Warrior. Yet these were useless! Because in the Virtual Universe, the body Luo Feng uses is an ordinary one, without the Mosha Clan’s special traits or the Blood-Lotus Power.
So the move Luo Feng truly considered as cheating was—
Innate Secret Method—Amplification!
Back in those days, the Golden-Horned Beast had once lost its head on Earth, but in a fit of primal fury, it unleashed its innate secret technique—Amplification. Not only did its offensive power skyrocket, but its flight speed also increased exponentially! Later, after Luo Feng took possession of the body, he once commanded the Golden-Horned Beast clone to employ the innate secret technique “Amplification” to wield the shard of the Crimson Chaos Mother Copper, effortlessly decimating the elite forces of the Nolanshan family.
The Amplification ability enhances everything comprehensively, both body and soul are strengthened!
Doubling directly!
In the Amplified state, speed, strength, consciousness, and everything else surge dramatically, doubling entirely!
With doubled consciousness strength, Luo Feng’s consciousness intensity within the “Virtual Universe Network” naturally doubles!
At the moment of battle, in the realm of reality, the Golden-Horned Beast dwelling within my inner world would awaken the innate arcane art known as “Amplification.” In an instant, it would fortify my soul within the Origin Core, and my consciousness would surge twofold in might! A heightened consciousness… first magnifies the crushing weight of my psychic pressure, and second, grants me the power to wield the Divine Soul Armament with unparalleled force,” Luo Feng reflected in the depths of his mind.
Greater mental pressure!
Stronger Divine Soul Armament!
Indeed, these significantly boosted Luo Feng’s strength.
“But this move is borderline cheating,” Luo Feng mused. “In battles within the Virtual Universe, everyone uses identical physical attributes! It’s mainly to test ‘laws comprehension,’ ‘secret method attack power,’ ‘battle experience,’ and so on. But I use the Gold-Horned Beast to activate the innate secret method ‘Amplification’ to strengthen my consciousness, thus increasing my power. It feels a bit like winning unfairly.”
“But still!”
“Can’t my unique circumstances count as part of my strength?” Luo Feng mused.
What Luo Feng considered borderline cheating was actually allowed within the Virtual Universe, and since the Virtual Universe system didn’t prohibit it, it couldn’t technically be called cheating. It could only be considered “borderline”!
…
In the living room, Zhenyan saw that Luo Feng seemed deep in thought and smiled, “Don’t pressure yourself. Losing isn’t a big deal! Everyone faces setbacks. Besides, I’m already very satisfied with your performance this time. And that Kroff is indeed much stronger than you. No one will blame you for losing.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“Rest and maintain your peak condition,” Zhenyan suddenly stood up and said, “Although your chances of winning are slim, this battle has drawn a lot of attention. Even some high-level existences are watching. So, if you lose, make sure it’s after giving your all. Only then will there be no regrets.”
“Yes, teacher,” Luo Feng replied.
“Alright, rest well!”
Zhenyan nodded and then exited the Virtual Universe Network.
Only after his teacher departed did Luo Feng silently take his seat, his gaze fixed upon the table before him as he murmured under his breath, “Kroff, no matter what happens, I shall face you with every ounce of my strength! Not a shred of my power will I conceal—the entry to the Primordial Secret Realm shall be mine to claim!”
(Note: “名额” is translated contextually as “entry” to fit the fantasy genre’s natural flow, implying the right or slot to enter the secret realm.)
“Who will ultimately win will be decided in the final battle!” Luo Feng then closed his eyes and silently adjusted his mindset.
Indeed, mindset affects strength.
Therefore, calming the mind and maintaining peak condition is also an important preparation.
…
In the Tai Chu District.
“That Yufeng gave me a bit of trouble,” Kroff sat in his own wine cellar, filled with various alcoholic beverages, holding a large glass and drinking heartily, his eyes full of anticipation. “But the others posed no threat at all.”
“That kid Luo Feng indeed has astonishing potential.”
“If it weren’t for a ‘Dangerous-Level Training Mission’ over a hundred years ago, where I discovered a great secret in the mission world and gained a major opportunity, my strength would not have fundamentally improved over the past century. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat him.” Kroff, the werewolf, thought silently.
Recalling that great opportunity over a hundred years ago still excited him.
That opportunity had given him the chance to truly rise. Now, he indeed possessed the strength to pass the eighth level of the Heaven-Piercing Bridge, but he didn’t rush to attempt it. He planned to wait until after the Qualification War before challenging the Heaven-Piercing Bridge.
“As for now?”
“Defeating him won’t be difficult at all.” Kroff’s eyes gleamed with a wild light. “If I can successfully enter the Primordial Secret Realm this time, I’ll gain another chance to take on ‘Desperate Missions’ and more Dangerous-Level missions. Some of those missions might also hide great secrets.”
…
The most dazzling battle for the slot of the Primordial Secret Realm in the Qualification War was about to begin—the decisive clash between Luo Feng and Kroff. This duel drew countless gazes, as all yearned to witness firsthand who would ultimately claim the coveted entry into the Primordial Secret Realm.
Among the spectators was a very special person.
“Feng!” Xu Xin was sitting quietly in a corner of a bustling bar. The bar had four large floating screens, all connected to the battle feed. As soon as the most exciting battle—the showdown between Luo Feng and Kroff—began, they would be able to see it.
The bar buzzed with chatter, some praising Kroff, others marveling at Luo Feng’s incredible feats.
Xu Xin sat quietly in the corner, listening to the group of geniuses from various cosmic nations discussing her husband, her heart swelling with pride.
“I believe you will definitely win.” Xu Xin silently thought.
…
Sitting quietly on the sofa, Luo Feng suddenly heard a familiar voice: “Luo Feng, the fifth round of the Primordial Secret Realm qualification match begins. Your opponent is Kroff!” This caused Luo Feng to instantly open his eyes, determination burning in them.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng was teleported into the battlefield.
…
In the real world, deep within the core of the Tai Chu Secret Realm’s Demon Mountain, on the steps of the Inheritance Hall.
Luo Feng, sitting cross-legged in meditation, within his inner world.
The Gold-Horned Beast, resembling a massive black mountain, had already risen. Its enormous dark golden eyes gleamed with anticipation. It was ready, prepared to immediately activate the innate secret method “Amplification.” Once the battle officially began, it would unleash it.
…
In the Virtual Universe, the battlefield of the match between Luo Feng and Kroff.
Luo Feng felt the world shift, and then his feet touched solid ground. Looking around, he saw an endless primeval forest, the air slightly humid.
“Gravity is approximately 12 times that of Earth.”
“Air temperature is around 82 degrees.” Instantly, data flashed through Luo Feng’s mind. His dark red battle suit had already formed a perfect battle armor, even forming a helmet over his head. A dark golden long staff was strapped to his back, and on his arm was an armor screen displaying various information and data.
Luo Feng looked around—dense primeval forest stretched endlessly.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng shot straight up into the sky, quickly rising over a thousand meters above the primeval forest canopy.
“Huh? Where is he?” Luo Feng frowned, immediately sensing carefully.
The Virtual Universe system usually teleported both opponents relatively close to each other. Even if they were a bit far apart, one could usually sense the other’s presence clearly. But this time… Luo Feng found that he couldn’t sense any life force within a certain radius around him.
Standing high above the primeval forest, Luo Feng roared loudly: “Kroff! Come out!!!”
“Come out!” “Come out!” “Come out!” … His voice echoed across the sky and earth, the powerful sound waves collapsing trees for kilometers around the primeval forest.
…
In the Yuxiang Mountain public area.
Many restaurants, bars, and core members’ residences—many people were turning on screens to watch the battle.
“Yufeng vs. Molo, the battle is in progress. Click to watch the live broadcast!”
“Bo Lan vs. Longyun, the battle is in progress. Click to watch the live broadcast!”
“Luo Feng vs. Kroff, the battle has not yet begun. Please wait!”
These were the messages displayed on the three battle live broadcast screens. The other two matches could easily be viewed and had already started. But the most intense, crucial, and important battle—the showdown between Luo Feng and Kroff—had still not begun!
“What’s going on?”
“Isn’t each round of three battles supposed to start at the same time? Why hasn’t the battle between Luo Feng and Kroff started yet?”
“What’s happening?”
The bar was bustling with noise.
Sitting quietly in the corner, Xu Xin also frowned, puzzled, staring at the large screen. The text on the screen was very clear—”Luo Feng vs. Kroff, the battle has not yet begun. Please wait!”
“Yufeng lost, Molo won.”
“Longyun lost, Bo Lan won.”
The other two battles had already ended.
But the screen connected to Luo Feng’s battle still displayed only one message—”Luo Feng vs. Kroff, the battle has not yet begun. Please wait!”
“Is this screen broken?”
“Let me check mine?”
The restless core members in the bar each opened screens in the air in front of them, trying to connect to the live broadcast of Luo Feng and Kroff’s battle. The text on the screens read—”Luo Feng vs. Kroff, the battle has not yet begun. Please wait!”
“What a bunch of crap!”
“This is the most crucial battle!”
“What’s going on?”
The core members were anxious, Xu Xin was anxious, and others like Wuka and Ronjun were also anxiously watching.
Even Luo Feng’s teacher, Zhenyan Wang, and some high-level officials of the Virtual Universe Company were also puzzled.
…
In the battlefield realm, above the primeval forest, Luo Feng looked around.
“What’s going on? Why hasn’t Kroff appeared yet?” Luo Feng frowned.
“Luo Feng!” The voice of the Virtual Universe system once again sounded in Luo Feng’s ear. “Due to the fact that since the start of the fifth round, Kroff’s consciousness has not entered the Virtual Universe Network, he could not be teleported! Therefore, it is determined that… Kroff has forfeited!”
Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
Forfeit?
