598: It depends on this young

Soon, Xiao Fan found the root cause.

His talent was no longer high enough.

Because he wasn't a true Dominator yet.

His current talent only reached the fourth stage; he still needed fifteen Myth-Grade amplification-type Martial Arts to advance to the fifth stage.

It wouldn't be too difficult to acquire another fifteen Myth-Grade amplification-type Martial Arts.

However, Zheng Qiong speculated that even with those, it still wouldn't be enough; he would have to complete the final sixth stage and fully step into the Domain of a Dominator to complete the Fusion of the World Gear.

But the sixth stage required fifty Myth-Grade amplification-type Martial Arts!

The entire Galaxy didn't have that many.

Didn't this mean that Xiao Fan couldn't reach that Realm before leaving Blue Star?

Everyone looked at Zheng Qiong, the Supreme Creator.

He came from Beyond the Galaxy, had lived for countless years, and should have that many Martial Arts in his possession, right?

Zheng Qiong, however, was very helpless: "Don't look at me like that; on the contrary, I only have one."

At these words, everyone was shocked. "You're so amazing, and you only have one of these Martial Arts?"

Zheng Qiong looked at their disappointed expressions, feeling a headache. He explained: "Outside, everyone focuses on the Physical Body, Law, and Mental Energy. Everyone has limited time, and the situation with Martial Arts is also quite special."

"Outside, there's the concept of self-created Martial Arts, so everyone sticks to one until the end."

"Learning other Illusory God Level Martial Arts takes a lot of time. With that time, it's better to research one's own self-created Martial Arts and strive to create a Supreme Law."

"Moreover, the Illusory God Level Martial Arts of each race are never passed on, and furthermore, the structures between races are different, so it's meaningless for me to learn others' Illusory God Level Martial Arts."

After hearing this, Xiao Fan suddenly felt despair.

He hadn't expected the Cultivation system outside to be like this, not seeking many Martial Arts, but rather focusing on refinement, because one good enough amplification-type Martial Arts could already unleash all potential.

He could only go back and slowly figure out a solution.

The Martial Arts Rank system outside was consistent with the Realm divisions.

Stages one to six, then Star Stage, Moon Rank, Sun Rank, Illusory God Level, True God Level (Ancestor Martial Arts), and Supreme Law (Beyond Ancestor Martial Arts).

Blue Star's achievements in Martial Arts were astonishing; the Myth-Grade Martial Arts everyone spoke of were equivalent to Illusory God Level outside.

Moreover, Illusory God Level Martial Arts were already the limit of normal Martial Arts; above that, True God Level were the Ancestor Martial Arts of various ancient clans.

Supreme Law, on the other hand, was even more powerful and better suited to its creator than Ancestor Martial Arts.

To be called a Supreme Law, one only needed to complete a very simple task.

Use one's self-created Martial Arts to defeat the great ancestor of an ancient clan, who was also the creator of Ancestor Martial Arts.

However, Supreme Law naturally had its own hierarchy, but that wasn't something Xiao Fan needed to consider right now.

Now, he just wanted to know how to reach the Dominator Realm before venturing into the Universe; this was his current predicament.

These days, he could feel that almost everyone in the entire academy was trying to find a solution for him.

This made him feel somewhat uneasy.

He always preferred not to rely on others.

But the current situation was too special.

Xiao Fan hadn't felt this helpless in a long time.

Later, he thought, at worst, he could just learn from other races after going out.

What was there to rush about!

There were so many powerful races in the Universe; what was so difficult about getting a few Martial Arts?

What if he didn't have the World Gear?

Didn't he still win against the Child of Origin!

Ultimately, he focused his attention on Breaking Through to the Star Stage Realm.

Since the World Gear had already been constructed, the energy of the heaven piercing crystal could also begin to be allocated.

Senior Brother was indeed Senior Brother; he directly set up a super special training for Xiao Fan.

For others, the heaven piercing crystal simply involved distributing the chaotic and complex power into what was needed for absorption, like Lin Xianhuo, who adjusted it to half divine and half demonic, which was very simple.

Xiao Fan was different.

Senior Brother directly spent countless amounts of power to upgrade his heaven piercing crystal to a Law version.

Others still had to go to the Law engine created by Senior Brother to comprehend and absorb Law, but it wasn't difficult. With Yun Jinyu's help, this step was just a matter of time for everyone.

Xiao Fan, however, directly bypassed this step.

After absorbing the heaven piercing crystal, all the power in his entire body advanced to Law.

Law also had its Ranks, with divisions consistent with the Realms: Star, Moon, Sun, Illusory God, True God.

Once Xiao Fan Broke Through to Martial Saint, which meant a Star Stage Evolution, the Law in his body would be uniformly Star Rank Law.

To step into Moon Rank Law, he only needed to improve his Realm.

So, the major Realm promotions between Laws were easy; as the normal Realm ascended, the Law would follow.

But besides the major Realms, there were also minor Realm tiers.

After all, Xiao Fan's lightning and Ling Tianlei's lightning couldn't possibly be of the same tier, could they?

The tiers of Law were divided according to the nine tiers of talent.

For example, Ling Tianlei's World-Destroying Divine Lightning was S+ Star Rank Lightning Law, top-tier, though there was an even higher tier called Origin, but it was too rare to pay much attention to.

Xiao Fan's lightning, on the other hand, was B Star Rank Lightning Law, three tiers lower, which seemed a bit subpar.

In fact, almost all of Xiao Fan's Law Ranks were only B, except for Divine Law.

Emperor Power was S+ Divine Law, top-tier.

Life Fire wasn't considered fire; it was S-Rank Life Law, because it consumed lifespan. If it didn't, it would be S+.

For the remaining Laws like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc., Xiao Fan needed to absorb and fuse higher-tier Acquired ones, but it wasn't difficult. Senior Brother told him he just needed to find a sufficiently large elemental ore vein.

Any element would do.

Because his Black Hole Rune could transform all elemental Laws, he just needed to find mines and gathering places of various pure elements after going out, then mindlessly absorb them.

However, he could only absorb up to S-Rank; S+ required a special Opportunity.

As for powers like space, they were too rare and didn't have clear tier distinctions.

After ten days of absorption, Xiao Fan's Realm Broke Through to the Star Stage, becoming a powerhouse comparable to a star!

His overall combat power underwent a massive qualitative change; the maximum burst power of his peerless strike almost doubled.

If Kuang Xing's defense hadn't doubled, he could still have shattered him with one spear.

Then he absorbed all the pure Source Fluid stored in his fifth-stage Black Hole Rune into his body, reaching Martial Saint second tier, one tier less than Immortal Fire and the others, who had already reached the third tier.

Under these conditions of forcefully absorbing Source Fluid while consuming Life Fire, and with unlimited resources, everyone's progress was astonishingly fast.

In the past, the fastest ancestors took four months to go from Star Stage first tier to second tier; now, the Super God Class reached third tier in four months.

This rapid progress should continue for everyone until the Moon Rank.

Because after reaching the Moon Rank, the required Moon Rank Source Fluid would not be as abundant.

After completing these tasks, he couldn't help but ponder again how to become a true Dominator before the expedition.

There were still one year and two months until the invaders arrived.

Myth-Grade amplification-type Martial Arts were not an issue; Senior Brother still had many Martial Arts of that Rank.

The key was Illusory God Level amplification-type Martial Arts. The Human Race had twelve, and the alien races seemed to only have twelve as well.

Breaching the alien race's borders was now a matter of time, and those twelve should all be obtainable.

But that only amounted to twenty-four in total.

With Senior Brother's one, that made twenty-five.

Senior Brother said he would go and get them from Liu Yuan and the others, and would also forcibly bring Zhou Bai back to Awaken his memories, but each of them probably had no more than two.

Even adding Qian Yi, who had run off somewhere unknown, and the Sea Demon Empress, it would be at most thirty-five or so.

Still fifteen short!

If it were before, he would definitely complain that this talent setting was too stupid, but later Miles told him that it was for creating a Supreme Law, so he could only nod.

Xiao Fan clenched his fists slightly, suddenly thinking.

"Those alien species have all Awakened their memories and obtained Ancestor Legacy..."

Beside him, Zheng Qiong was helpless; he knew Xiao Fan's thoughts, and he himself had the same idea: directly obtain Ancestor Martial Arts from the ancestral memories of races like the Blood Clan and Demon Clan, then break them down into Illusory God Level ones for Xiao Fan to learn.

But who would go and get them?

Who had the confidence to believe that their Mental Energy could retrieve what they wanted from the minds of those Emperor-Rank alien races?

Including himself, the strength of Liu Yuan and others had not fully recovered, and furthermore, their main focus was not Mental Energy. In terms of Mental Energy abilities, they could be said to be completely clueless, only capable of stacking it for defense.

Most ultimate powerhouses were very specialized and couldn't be all-arounders.

For Zheng Qiong to craft super weapons or condense Law, that was something he could do with ease.

But to use his Mental Energy to search others' memories, he truly couldn't.

Hao Nian could definitely do it.

But he was also very busy, making preparations in the Universe in advance to resist the myriad races.

However, he had already greeted him, and he said he would make time to deal with these matters.

Zheng Qiong couldn't help but lament that Hao Nian was still normal... Look at that other Qian Yi; if his head were a bit more normal, would there be so much trouble now?

As he pondered, a drone suddenly flew above his and Xiao Fan's heads.

Both frowned and looked up, only to see a package hanging from the drone.

"Your delivery?" Zheng Qiong looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan shook his head in confusion, saying, "I didn't buy anything."

Suddenly, the chain on the drone automatically loosened.

The package above fell from the sky, heading straight for Zheng Qiong's head.

Zheng Qiong snorted coldly and raised his hand to block.

But suddenly, his old Face stiffened, and his movements paused.

"Bang!"

His head was precisely struck by the delivery package, without any deviation, hitting the bullseye.

Although Zheng Qiong wasn't hurt, his Face was completely lost, and his old Face flushed red.

Xiao Fan, beside him, was surprised and wondered, "Am I seeing things?"

"My Senior Brother can be hit by a delivery package?"

Suddenly, he looked down and saw a line of text written on the front of the package.

"Four-eyed blockhead, don't badmouth this Young Lord every day; this Young Lord hears everything clearly even from the other end of the World."

"The one next to him, Young Lord, right? The Martial Arts you wanted, sign for it yourself. The password to open the package is 'Qian Yi is the most handsome protagonist.'"

"P.S.: At critical moments, doesn't it still depend on this Young Lord! Learn from this, four-eyed blockhead!"

Zheng Qiong beside him: "I..."

P.S.: Two updates today. I'm updating based on my state now; sometimes two updates, sometimes four or five, but at least two.
