372: Mangxing

However, considering that the purpose of the Law Arena is to enhance Cosmic Beasts' comprehension of laws, this terrifying commission rate seems reasonable.

This is because the Law Arena does not encourage Cosmic Beasts to purchase body templates.

For the Law Arena, such a method is akin to cheating.

The Law Arena is a place for comprehending laws; if even body templates have to be bought, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

The reason this function is still available is purely because the universe is vast, and there are so many Cosmic Beasts that there are bound to be some peculiar ones.

They might be geniuses in comprehending laws, but they are completely clueless when it comes to designing body templates and can't handle custom Talent templates.

Not completely prohibiting the trading of body templates can be seen as leaving a path for such Cosmic Beasts.

Otherwise, these Cosmic Beasts would have no chance of survival in the Law Arena and would be eliminated early on.

After all, the higher the combat level, the stronger the Arena opponents, and the more advanced the combat templates they might possess.

Using a basic body template at such a time would be extremely disadvantageous.

They might even find their strength reduced to less than a tenth due to incompatibility or lack of coordination with the body, leaving them with no hope of winning the Arena.

Unexpectedly, this fostered the profession of body template designer, who earned a fortune with extremely low commissions.

After all, as long as a designed body template is listed, there's a chance to earn income.

The worst outcome is simply not selling and not making money; they can still use their own designed body template, which is a sure-fire way to profit.

Lin Tianwei is not a Siberian Tiger with a design Talent, which can be seen from his predicament when he previously used Talent: Directed Modification.

However, Lin Tianwei may not have design Talent, but humans on Blue Star possess powerful design Talent.

Lin Tianwei can completely leverage their help to design body templates for himself, allowing him to earn points through this method.

Lin Tianwei also has no psychological burden about ordering them around.

He not only provided them with shelter, allowing them to survive in the dangerous universe.

He also spent a large amount of origin energy to create a tiger-made sun, constantly nourishing all living beings on Blue Star.

Enjoying the continuous nourishment of the tiger-made sun, Blue Star has even evolved from a technological world into a high-martial world.

With such immense kindness and grace, Lin Tianwei only asked them to help with some tasks, which he considered to be the utmost benevolence.

What's more, allowing those scientists and researchers to develop custom body templates for him also fulfills their life's value and elevates the meaning of their existence.

Lin Tianwei believes they will be very willing to work for him.

It was also to allow Blue Star to exert greater value that Lin Tianwei purchased that faith planet.

The Power of Faith, while not the strongest energy, is still barely usable energy, better than nothing.

Coupled with the Power of Faith freely floating on Blue Star, it would be a waste not to use it; collecting it for recycling is naturally the best option.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei decided to visit Blue Star after reviewing the points exchange mall.

He would promptly assign the tasks of setting up the virtual world server, faith collector, and collecting body templates.

This would allow Blue Star to realize its value sooner.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei once again looked at the points mall, at the tangible items that could be exchanged with points.

The points in the Law Arena were more valuable than Lin Tianwei imagined; all sorts of treasures, both heard of and unheard of, could be exchanged here.

Of course.

The prerequisite is that you can afford the points.

Putting aside these flashy treasures, Lin Tianwei directly checked the heart of the heavenly sea.

This supreme treasure, capable of perfectly refining the body, was his primary reason for entering the Law Arena.

heart of the heavenly sea, 100,000,000 points, a small item that can barely make the body stronger.

For a moment, Lin Tianwei felt that he had been condescended to by the Heavensea God-King.

Evidently, the description of the heart of the heavenly sea, capable of such arrogant words, could only have come from the Heavensea God-King himself.

However, he wasn't exactly being humblebragging.

After all, for the Heavensea God-King, the heart of the heavenly sea, a supreme treasure sought by countless Cosmic Beasts for body refinement, was indeed just a small toy in his eyes.

When the gap in strength and level is too great, your honest words might be seen as the most arrogant behavior in the eyes of others.

It was this behavior of simultaneously calling it a 'small item' and setting a high price of one hundred million points that Lin Tianwei found somewhat despicable.

He decided that if he ever had the chance, he would definitely make the Heavensea God-King experience how incredibly exasperating that feeling was.

He would make him taste what it feels like to be shown off to.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei directly exited the points exchange interface.

The goal was set; now it was time to achieve it.

Since the next two ordinary Arenas had the ten-fold points bonus BUFF from the novice trial, which was the best time to earn points.

Lin Tianwei ultimately chose to observe further, to thoroughly familiarize himself with everything here.

Otherwise, if he wasted such a good opportunity to earn points, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei pushed open the door to the preparation room, only to find that the Law Arena was incredibly simple, with only two other rooms besides this one:

the training room and the rest room.

The rest room was very simple, just an empty room, seemingly a place for Cosmic Beasts to rest.

One could use points to exchange for virtual items to decorate their rest room, transforming it into their favorite appearance, to serve as a place for daily rest.

Although this was a virtual world, as long as you had points, you could completely transform the rest room into a paradise.

Compared to the dissatisfactions some Cosmic Beasts experienced in reality, this place could instead attract most Cosmic Beasts to linger.

This is also why virtual items are popular in the points exchange store; although they are virtually existing items, they can still provide emotional value to these Cosmic Beasts.

As for the training room, it was where Cosmic Beasts normally trained themselves in the Law Arena.

This place was, after all, completely different from the real world; to exert one's full strength here, necessary training was indispensable.

Especially when trying a new body template, without extensive time to familiarize oneself, one simply cannot unleash the power of the new body.

Furthermore, as long as enough points are provided, special training services can be offered, finding any desired virtual opponent for you.

If the virtual world's body and the real world's body were synchronized, this would even be a training ground no less than the real world.

After all, in the real world, not all Cosmic Beasts can obtain such excellent training resources.

Upon entering the training room, Lin Tianwei received a notification that he could now train using the basic template.

He could freely simulate all opponents he had defeated, meaning Lin Tianwei could now simulate Trial Beasts for free sparring in the training room.

As for other opponents, simulating them required consuming points.

The more points consumed, the stronger and more suitable the simulated sparring partner would be.

Looking at the Trial Beast that suddenly appeared before him, Lin Tianwei pondered for a moment, then decided to train first.

He would continue to fight using the Berserk Giant Bear body template + Strength Talent template combat template, but this time Lin Tianwei did not intend to forcefully use the power of Talent: Strength Enhancement (Extraordinary).

He planned to make good use of the current time to hone his mastery of the body.

In the future, this might be the body he primarily uses in the Law Arena.

Although Lin Tianwei could also customize a Siberian Tiger template in the Law Arena through custom templates, he felt it was completely unnecessary.

True powerhouses should be able to exert their greatest strength no matter what body they use.

If he didn't use his real-world body template, then any body template would be new to Lin Tianwei, something he needed to refamiliarize himself with, making no difference at all.

While using his own body template would allow Lin Tianwei to skip the initial familiarization period, it also meant that Lin Tianwei would have to submit his body template data to the Law Arena.

This would completely expose his body data to those with ulterior motives.

Indulging in this convenience now might become a primary tool for backstabbing him in the future.

After all, Lin Tianwei was not like those aimless sloths; his goal was the broader sea of stars.

Even God-Kings were not Lin Tianwei's endpoint.

Before he fully rises and can disregard all opponents, he will reduce such unnecessary exposure unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, using this combat template was also a form of exercise, experience, and experimentation for Lin Tianwei.

Using this template as a foundation, augmented with numerous Talents for modification, and finally transforming this combat template into a body that perfectly matched his ideas.

This process was also extremely important for Lin Tianwei's re-refinement of himself.

Even with the heart of the heavenly sea, refining oneself was not as simple as directly consuming the heart of the heavenly sea.

Instead, it required methods, processes, treasures, Talents, strength, and... countless resources, following the most powerful body's path to potentially forge a supreme body that met Lin Tianwei's requirements.

Therefore, he had to cherish every opportunity to experiment.

And only by continuously using it and engaging in combat could he gain a thorough understanding of this Berserk Giant Bear body and conduct targeted Reinforcement.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei's gaze towards the Trial Beast gradually became dangerous.

This Trial Beast was a perfect punching bag, allowing him to become more proficient with his body through continuous combat.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei directly activated the AFK training mode, letting his virtual body continuously train in the Law Arena.

His primary consciousness, however, returned to the real world to arrange matters there... Real world.

The space within the black cube was incredibly calm, still pitch black, where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.

The energy Lin Tianwei had previously devoured was now completely digested, allowing his severely injured body to recover slightly.

Not only that, he also gained some characteristics belonging to Miguel, which allowed him to better disguise himself.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei once again opened his mouth wide, transforming into a Giant Maw, and bit down on Miguel's body.

Under the enhancement of various Talents, Lin Tianwei's attack finally managed to take effect, biting off a tiny piece of Miguel's flesh.

Lin Tianwei was not polite and began to feast.

Unlike pure energy, this piece of flesh contained even more powerful energy.

After completely devouring it, Lin Tianwei would surely recover more fully.

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei could also acquire the characteristics of this flesh, disguising himself as a part of Miguel's body.

With this ebb and flow, Miguel would no longer be able to detect Lin Tianwei's presence, ultimately leaving only one possibility: being completely devoured by Lin Tianwei and turned into a puppet.

While digesting this piece of flesh, Lin Tianwei directly immersed his mind into the Tiger Tooth Space, quickly locating the display device holding the faith planet.

Under the function of the origin, the faith planet Mang Star, though a long time had passed, was still in a very healthy state.

Of course.

Only Mang Star was healthy; the Mang Clan living on it was in dire straits.

As an unnatural planet, Mang Star, though naturally born in the universe, had long since lost its autonomy after being discovered by the so-called Mang God.

The natural laws that could emerge there were merely the natural laws desired by the Mang God.

Even so, Mang Star ultimately ended up being auctioned off by the Mang God, which was truly tragic.

Because the Mang God's previous method of harvesting the Power of Faith relied on continuously unleashing natural disasters, then intervening at critical moments to protect the Mang Clan, forcing the Mang people to believe in him for their survival.

This led to Mang Star being transformed by the Mang God into a planet prone to frequent natural disasters, where terrifying calamities could occur at any moment.

Mang Star was fine when under the Mang God's care; to ensure his Power of Faith would not be cut off, he would always display miracles to protect the Mang Clan at appropriate times.

However, ever since Mang Star was sent to the Lotus Auction, without the Mang God's intervention, the Mang Clan's lives became exceptionally difficult.

Natural disasters still occurred frequently, but they lacked the Mang God's protection, leaving them to tremble in fear before the calamities, living precariously from day to day.

On Mang Star.

A group of Mang Beasts, led by Aux, was attempting to cross a Thorn-filled forest to find hope of survival in the distant future.

However, at this point, they were clearly at their last gasp.

Even Aux, as the captain and most powerful, was riddled with wounds, covered in cuts big and small.

Gasping for breath, constantly inhaling the Poison-laden air, Aux felt his physical strength was almost depleted.

Although they were in a forest, there was almost no food that the Ze Clan could consume.

The flora and fauna living in this forest were all imbued with Poison; a few simple bites could send a Mang Beast to its doom.

However, Aux and the other beasts had no choice but to continue forward, to continue in this extremely harsh environment.

Because they were already fighting with their backs against the wall; if they couldn't find hope of survival, they would merely be changing how and where they died.

Thinking this, Aux involuntarily looked at the necklace on his chest, a necklace carved from the bone of an unknown fierce beast.

Its strange shape seemed to be the symbol of some existence, appearing mysterious and majestic.

Carefully removing the necklace hanging on his chest and respectfully placing it in front, Aux led his compatriots to prepare for the last sacrifice.

This necklace was the symbol of the Mang God, the symbol of the Mang God who had saved them countless times in desperate situations. (End of chapter)
