393: Continue to comprehend

Marion’s self-destruction and the Space Blades spread throughout the entire space seemed to have formed a fatal blow against Lin Tianwei, leaving him with nowhere to hide.

This situation made Yoris, who was watching the battle, frown and complain, “That Marion guy is really shameless, resorting to mutual destruction at the slightest disagreement.”

“In such a confined space, ‘Lin’ has no escape.”

“Presumably, the reason he initiated a decisive battle earlier also had this factor, to maximize the power of his self-destruction by shrinking the space.”

“However, it’s also thanks to his shamelessness that the top ten thousand rankings are more valuable.”

“Only by defeating Marion can one prove they have the strength to be in the top ten thousand.”

“‘Lin’? Let me see what solution you have for such a desperate situation.”

Facing this seemingly accomplished fatal blow, Lin Tianwei’s face showed no panic; he remained terrifyingly composed.

Mutual destruction? You need to have the strength to achieve mutual destruction with me first.

Facing the beast-body bomb in his hand that was about to explode, Lin Tianwei showed no fear, directly throwing a punch and hitting Marion’s Rhino head hard.

His eyes, full of schadenfreude, truly annoyed Lin Tianwei.

Moreover, no matter when, dealing with the source of trouble is always the top priority.

Marion never expected that, facing his imminent self-destruction, Lin Tianwei’s choice was not to flee, but to directly and violently detonate him.

Firmly restrained by Lin Tianwei, he had no room to escape, only watching helplessly as the planet-sized fist got closer and closer to him, until it made intimate contact with his handsome face.

It must be said that Marion’s hide was truly thick; compared to the Carapace on other parts of his body, it was at least three times thicker.

Lin Tianwei’s full-force punch failed to directly blow up Marion’s head, only leaving countless spiderweb-like cracks on it.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei punched Marion’s head again.

One punch isn’t enough? Then another punch!

This time, Marion’s head finally couldn’t bear the weight and exploded under Lin Tianwei’s heavy blows, shattering into countless pieces.

Marion’s origin was also shattered along with it.

Although Lin Tianwei currently cannot use the Power of Destruction, it doesn’t matter; he still possesses the super destructive power granted by his Talent: Core Code (Extraordinary).

Destroying Marion was an easy task.

Marion died, just like that, so casually.

His two large eyes stared fixedly at Lin Tianwei, perfectly illustrating what it means to die with unclosed eyes.

At the moment Marion’s life ended, the switch for his body’s self-destruction was also pressed down hard.

Terrifying energy erupted directly from Marion’s body as its core, beginning to pour out madly in all directions.

Not only that, but while Lin Tianwei was pummeling Marion, the Space Blades that had surrounded Lin Tianwei arrived in front of him, intending to thoroughly mince Lin Tianwei into a pulp.

Facing Marion’s dying counterattack, Lin Tianwei showed no concern.

Talent Template: Mental Power (King)!

With a thought, a shield, ethereal yet real, appeared in front of Lin Tianwei, blocking the terrifying energy generated by Marion’s self-destruction, as well as the Space Blades covering the sky and ground.

This shield, formed by Lin Tianwei’s powerful Mental Power, appeared as thin as a cicada’s wing yet was incredibly solid, allowing Lin Tianwei to easily withstand Marion’s dying counterattack, without even losing a single hair.

If Marion had known the final outcome of this Arena, he would probably have died with unclosed eyes.

Even if he self-destructed ten thousand more times, he wouldn’t believe that an opponent could withstand his dying counterattack head-on.

Equally shocked was Yoris.

He had considered many possibilities: Lin Tianwei dying due to Marion’s self-destruction, or Lin Tianwei surviving after paying the price of severe injuries.

But he never expected Lin Tianwei to so effortlessly withstand Marion’s dying counterattack.

It was as if the bright light before him wasn’t the terrifying energy generated by Marion’s self-destruction, but merely a harmless yet brilliant fireworks display.

Terrifying strength, this Cosmic Beast named “Lin” is terrifyingly strong!

Yoris’s opinion of Lin Tianwei changed instantly; he stared intently at Lin Tianwei, unwilling to miss any detail related to him.

He looked forward to this Cosmic Beast named “Lin” giving him more surprises… “Ding, congratulations on successfully killing your opponent and winning this Arena.”

“Your offensive rating for this Arena is: S. Marion is not worth mentioning!”

“Your defensive rating for this Arena is: S. You sustained some minor, irrelevant injuries and achieved victory.”

“Ding, as your opponent’s strength exceeds yours by two major stages, your overall Arena rating for this match will increase by two levels.”

“Ding, your final overall Arena rating is: SSS, enjoy a 3000% point bonus.”

“Ding, after calculation, you have obtained a total of 11.25 million points for winning this Arena (Base points 5000 * SS-level rating bonus 3000% * Purgatory difficulty bonus 5000% * Self-excellent rating bonus * 150%).”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target.”

“Ding, Talent extraction successful. Host has gained Talent: Core Code (Extraordinary) (Incomplete) (15/10000).”

“Note: Congratulations to the host. Your Talent: Core Code (Extraordinary) (Incomplete) collection progress has reached 28/10000.”

“Ding, your rating and ranking have been updated and can be viewed through the panel.”

“Name: Lin.

Age: 26 years old.

Strength: Cosmic Level Seven.

Ranking: 12658.

Points: Twenty million+.

Rating: Excellent (Challenge points +50%).

Note: You won, you won, you won again, you’re practically winning too much.”

A victory in the Arena not only meant acquiring a huge amount of points but also an update to ratings and rankings.

Looking at his rising ranking, Lin Tianwei was extremely pleased; even in the Law Arena, which had produced countless powerhouses, he could still achieve a good rank.

However, this time, after Lin Tianwei returned to the waiting room, he did not choose to continue matching, but instead returned to the lounge.

Although he won this Arena, it also exposed his weaknesses.

Had it not been for the decisive battle mode, to win this Arena, Lin Tianwei would have had to contend with Marion for a long time.

Time is points, and Lin Tianwei does not allow anything that wastes points.

Moreover, the opponents Lin Tianwei would face in the future would only get stronger and stronger; without formidable strength, Lin Tianwei would only meet his Waterloo at the peak of his beast life, ending in a crushing defeat.

Therefore, to prevent similar incidents from happening, Lin Tianwei must become stronger.

At least, when facing cunning Space-type Cosmic Beasts, he must possess means of counteraction.

The best way is to fight magic with magic, to defeat Space-type Talent templates with Space-type Talent templates.

To be able to use a powerful Space-type Talent template, Lin Tianwei would have to continue comprehending the Law Book (Space).

In fact, how could Lin Tianwei not be envious of a powerful Talent template like the Space-type Talent template?

However, although he could add the Space-type Talent template to his combat template, due to insufficient comprehension, he simply couldn’t use it in the Law Arena.

Yoris only thought Lin Tianwei was hiding his strength, never imagining that there existed beings like Lin Tianwei who possessed a Talent template but couldn’t use it.

Cheating is fun for a while, but continuous cheating is always fun.

To uphold his dignity as a cheat, Lin Tianwei decided to study hard, to make his comprehension of laws keep up with his Talent level, and to become a powerful Siberian Tiger that was strong both inside and out.

With a thought, Lin Tianwei instantly exchanged for 100,000 Law Books (Space).

As a rich Cosmic Beast, Lin Tianwei felt that a thousand Law Books were a bit too stingy for him.

In an instant, countless Law Books (Space) filled the entire lounge, and dense Law Power surged forth, almost solidifying.

One hundred thousand, that was one hundred thousand Law Books, casually exchanged by Lin Tianwei, filling the entire lounge.

Such extravagant behavior made Yoris, who was secretly observing, gape in astonishment; it was his first time seeing such a grand scene of Law Book exchange, and he couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Extravagant, truly too extravagant.”

“Even if you have points, you shouldn’t spend them like that!”

“If you have too many points to use, you can tell me your troubles, and I will help you solve them.”

One must know that Yoris, diligently working in the Law Arena for a year, only earned five hundred points.

Don’t think five hundred points is a low salary; five hundred points can be exchanged for five Law Books that can be used in reality.

It has a minimum value of fifty units of origin.

Such a job, with no work yet a decent salary, would definitely be a super hot commodity in the eyes of other Cosmic Beasts.

However, even with such a good job, Yoris would need to go without food or drink for two thousand years to afford a wasteful act like Lin Tianwei’s.

Jealousy made Yoris’s cell walls separate.

Especially when he saw the Law Power that had almost solidified, he became mad with envy, even feeling an urge to flee.

However, he dared not and could not flee.

This was his job, and if he made a mistake, he would lose this job that earned him five hundred points annually.

This would be something he absolutely could not tolerate.

So, he could only reluctantly adjust his mood and continue to focus on this extremely wasteful Cosmic Beast before him.

Calm down, calm down, calm down… I am a Cosmic Beast who has seen big scenes; I must not be so startled and appear so petty.

After a long period of self-hypnosis, Yoris finally managed to calm his emotions.

However, from his visibly reddened eyes, it was clear that he was still in a state of maddening jealousy.

Looking back at the lounge, Yoris found that Lin Tianwei had already begun comprehending the Law Book (Space), and immediately observed patiently.

Five hundred points was just the basic salary for an observer; if he could discover a potential candidate with great potential, Yoris would also receive a commission, easily earning five-figure points.

Under these circumstances, Yoris, having adjusted his mindset, desperately hoped Lin Tianwei would perform well, at least achieving an A-level potential rating, so he could earn a substantial amount of points… It must be said, having points makes things easier.

Just like Lin Tianwei now, surrounded by Law Books (Space), he seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean composed of Space Laws.

Even if he didn’t actively comprehend the laws, that terrifying Law Power would actively invade Lin Tianwei’s body, making him passively begin to comprehend the laws.

In this environment, Lin Tianwei’s comprehension of Space Laws was twice the result with half the effort, much faster than when he previously comprehended Mental Laws.

One month.

Three months.

Half a year!

In just half a year, surrounded by a massive amount of Space Laws, Lin Tianwei had successfully comprehended the Talent: Instantaneous Movement (King).

This allowed him to freely use the Talent Template: Instantaneous Movement (King) even in the Law Arena, becoming a Cosmic Beast unbound by space.

The comprehension of Talent: Instantaneous Movement (King) seemingly only added one usage scenario for Lin Tianwei’s Talent, but in reality, it held extraordinary significance, which was to expand the scenarios in which Lin Tianwei could use Instantaneous Movement.

The universe is vast, and not all areas are normal regions like the ordinary universe; there always exist many regions with strange rules.

These regions are similar to the Law Arena, with self-contained rules, completely different from the ordinary universe.

This led to a problem: due to the different rules, Talents that could be used in the ordinary universe often could not be used normally in these regions.

Talents being weakened or suppressed was a minor issue; in the most severe cases, Talents might not be usable at all, forcing one to become a blank-slate Cosmic Beast without Talents.

This was the disadvantage of knowing what but not why.

Once the rules changed, many Cosmic Beasts would experience a significant reduction in their strength due to their inability to adapt to the new environment.

They, who could only dogmatically use their Talents, were merely strong on the outside but weak within; once they left the comfortable environment of the ordinary universe, their true forms would instantly be revealed.

To be exempt from this Talent weakening caused by rule changes, one must have a sufficiently strong comprehension of the laws, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned and use their Talents freely in any environment.

Just like Lin Tianwei now, after successfully comprehending Space Laws, he has now barely reached the point of knowing why.

Under such circumstances, even when facing regions with unusual rules, Lin Tianwei can maximize his full strength and minimize the impact of the environment on himself.

This point is especially important; it is the fundamental guarantee to ensure Lin Tianwei can possess powerful combat strength anywhere.

Otherwise, once he loses the protection of the ordinary universe, Lin Tianwei could very likely be instantly reverted to his original form, becoming a weak Siberian Tiger.

Although he had successfully comprehended a large amount of Space Laws and even grasped the true meaning of Talent: Instantaneous Movement (King), allowing him to freely use Instantaneous Movement in the Law Arena.

However, Lin Tianwei was not satisfied with this; he still wanted to continue comprehending more Space Laws to face powerful opponents that might appear in the future.

The Law Book cannot stop! (End of chapter)
