424: Beast Body
Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical)!
This mythical-level Talent, which Lin Tianwei had possessed for a long time but had never shown its power, finally revealed its true might at this moment.
As if a certain trigger had been activated, a vast amount of knowledge began to pour into Lin Tianwei's consciousness.
The torrent of knowledge even made Lin Tianwei feel his consciousness swell, as if it were about to explode.
Talent: Smart Brain (Transcendental)!
It was still somewhat difficult to withstand such a powerful flow of knowledge all at once.
But it didn't matter; Lin Tianwei had his own Smart Brain, which could come in handy at times like this.
Like a diversion, the knowledge recorded in Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical) began to pour into the Smart Brain.
The Smart Brain had extremely strong endurance, and coupled with its lack of emotion, it quickly absorbed all the knowledge without question.
Not only that, but the Smart Brain could also quickly organize, categorize, and integrate the absorbed knowledge, allowing Lin Tianwei to absorb it better.
It was a very good auxiliary tool.
After barely coping with the knowledge infusion from Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical), Lin Tianwei finally had time to deal with the Flame Domain that had inspired him.
While Lin Tianwei was caught off guard by Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical), the Power of Flames belonging to the Flame Domain took over, rapidly surging and quickly reclaiming one-third of the territory from Lin Tianwei's grasp.
In an instant, Lin Tianwei's situation became precarious.
He could even feel the high temperature of the Flame Domain.
And the Scythe of Flames that was about to reap him.
Lin Tianwei's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself that it was time to end this boring battle and reward the Flame Domain with eternal death.
He was in a hurry to go back and comprehend the vast amount of knowledge contained within Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical), and had no time to play house with the Flame Domain here.
Talent: Super Multiplication (King)!
Visibly, Lin Tianwei's body, which had previously seemed like an ant, began to rapidly expand.
Along with the expansion, the Power of Destruction burning fiercely on Lin Tianwei's body also grew.
Black flames filled the sky, demonic flames raged!
Before any Cosmic Beast could react, blackness instantly engulfed the entire Chaotic Domain, completely obscuring their vision.
By the time they reacted, they only saw an empty Arena.
The vanished protagonist proved that the Arena had ended unnoticed.
The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
Some Cosmic Beasts, who were watching the Arena while piloting their Cosmic Spaceships, even forgot to control their ships.
It wasn't until their Cosmic Spaceships crashed into surrounding meteorites that they realized they were driving dangerously.
"Arena Result: Lin wins, Flame Domain loses!"
As the Arena results slowly appeared, the hearts of countless Cosmic Beasts finally settled.
Although it was hard to believe, the Flame Domain was indeed carelessly instantly killed by Lin Tianwei.
Of course, this also had to do with his audacity in daring to challenge Lin Tianwei to a decisive battle.
Otherwise, relying on the vastness of the Arena, his decent strength, and his powerful Flame Domain,
He could have at least managed to hold on for an extra second in front of Lin Tianwei.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully defeating your opponent and winning this Arena."
"Your offensive rating for this Arena is: A. You took too long to achieve this victory."
"Your defensive rating for this Arena is: A. You still sustained a slight amount of damage."
"Ding, because your opponent's strength is two major stages higher than yours, the overall rating for this Arena will be increased by two tiers."
"Ding, your final overall Arena rating is: SS, and you will receive 1000% of the points."
"Ding, after calculation, you have received a total of 30 million points for winning this Arena (10000 base points * SSS-level rating 3000% * Purgatory difficulty bonus 5000% * self-top-tier rating bonus * 600%)."
..."Ding, your rating and ranking have been updated and can be viewed through the panel."
..."Name: Lin.
Age: 53 years old.
Strength: Cosmic Level Seven.
Ranking: 29.
Points: 133 million+.
Rating: Transcendental (Challenge Points +500%).
Remarks: Go fight, Heavensea God-King has left the secret treasure on the first throne of the Law Arena."
...Easily collecting a large number of points, Lin Tianwei remained unmoved, instead calming down and cooperating with the Smart Brain to absorb the knowledge contained within Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical).
Even so, Lin Tianwei still spent a full week organizing all the knowledge.
However, this week was also very fruitful; at least Lin Tianwei now had a deep understanding of Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical).
This mythical-level Talent, plundered from the Star Devouring Beast Avatar, was naturally not as simple as it had always appeared; using origin to reinforce the physical body was merely the most superficial method of Reinforcement.
Its essence was to use the Power of Law to reinforce oneself, making one's body even stronger.
Regarding the method of using rules to reinforce oneself, there was a very detailed description in Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical).
So detailed that it described which Power of Law was needed to achieve the best effect when reinforcing a certain cell,
And what Power of Law needed to be coordinated with to avoid conflicts,
To work together,
To achieve an effect where one plus one is far greater than two.
Upon closer inspection, the method of cultivating the Behemoth Body was somewhat similar to Lin Tianwei's previous Reinforcement Ideas.
However, it directly skipped the step of using Talent Power to reinforce oneself.
Of course, this was not because Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical) had flaws.
It was simply because the Star Devouring Behemoth's main body was too powerful and did not need to use Talent Power as a transition.
After all, that was a mythical-level Talent, not roadside cabbage.
Yet, it was mass-produced on one of the opponent's Avatars, and Lin Tianwei plundered several at once.
The strength of the Star Devouring Behemoth was imaginable, possibly even reaching the Legendary Universe Master realm.
This was far from an enemy Lin Tianwei could contend with at this stage.
Dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lin Tianwei began to consider what benefits he could gain from the method of cultivating the Behemoth Body.
Comparison.
Comparison was the best method for summarization.
Through comparison, Lin Tianwei quickly discovered that the two approaches had similar aims but were vastly different and incomparable.
Cultivating the Behemoth Body required the body as the foundation, continuously reinforcing oneself with the body as the vessel, to reach an infinitely strong state.
It was like climbing a tree to catch fish.
Lin Tianwei's cultivation approach, on the other hand, relied entirely on pure Talent Power to condense the body, eventually advancing and transforming into Power of Law, a means of creating something from nothing, turning the illusory into the real.
The two cultivation methods each had their advantages, and it was hard to say which one would be stronger.
It was precisely because of this similarity that the previously dormant Talent: Behemoth Body (Mythical) directly revealed its secrets to Lin Tianwei.
After much thought, Lin Tianwei ultimately decided to abandon cultivating the Behemoth Body and continue cultivating his Law Body.
This fundamental Reinforcement approach was not wrong, but it was not suitable for Lin Tianwei.
Because his foundation was simply too poor, incomparable to the mighty Star Devouring Behemoth.
This was like solving a multiplication problem.
The naturally powerful Star Devouring Behemoth was multiplying based on a base number of one hundred million, while Lin Tianwei was multiplying based on the number one hundred.
The difference was even far greater than getting half the result for twice the effort.
However, the method of cultivating the Behemoth Body was not entirely useless to Lin Tianwei.
At the very least, the Reinforcement methods described within it were very suitable for Lin Tianwei as a reference.
Reinforcing OO cells with XX rules?
Rounding it up, it could be transformed into condensing OO cells with XX Talent.
With the aid of a vast knowledge reserve, Lin Tianwei's efficiency in condensing his Body of Talents would only be higher, and the effect would only be better.
After understanding all this, Lin Tianwei initiated another match.
Although he was cultivating the Law Body, Lin Tianwei still needed some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist him.
Otherwise, relying solely on Talent Power, Lin Tianwei would find it very difficult to condense a massive Law Body, and the efficiency would be terrifyingly low.
To earn heavenly materials and earthly treasures, exchanging them with Law Arena points was naturally the best option.
Especially for Lin Tianwei, who had a guaranteed income of millions of points per Arena, this was no different from picking up money.
Thanks to Heavensea God-King, his wool was truly easy to shear.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully forcing a match. Your opponent is the Flame Domain."
"Name: Hikaru.
Ranking: 12.
Rating: Transcendental (Enjoy a 500% challenge point bonus upon victory)."
"Please confirm whether to enter the Arena."
"Ding, you have confirmed to enter the Arena. Please wait patiently for your opponent's selection."
"Ding, since Hikaru is a phantom left by an ancient powerhouse, entering the Arena will be confirmed by default."
"Ding, the Arena has begun. The venue for this Arena is: Chaotic Domain."
As Lin Tianwei's ranking climbed higher and higher, even at the highest difficulty, the opponents Lin Tianwei matched with would not have too large a ranking gap with him.
After all, Lin Tianwei had almost reached the pinnacle of the Law Arena.
For every rank he advanced, the strength of the opponents he encountered would increase exponentially; a seemingly small difference of a dozen ranks could lead Lin Tianwei to encounter a super BOSS.
Lin Tianwei, however, had no fear of this.
He possessed the confidence to defeat anything; otherwise, he would not have been able to comprehend the Beast King Domain.
With a flash of his figure, Lin Tianwei once again arrived at the familiar Chaotic Domain, at this incredibly familiar venue.
This time, the opponent did not play mysterious with Lin Tianwei, standing proudly in place, as if waiting for Lin Tianwei to initiate the attack.
This was a Cosmic Beast with a lion's head and a horse's body, covered in golden scales, appearing exceptionally beautiful.
The most beautiful and the most dangerous.
Lin Tianwei would not be so naive as to believe that the opponent's high ranking of twelfth was obtained through a good appearance; the opponent must possess extraordinary strength... In the black market.
Azeia felt his beast core go numb.
He felt that Lin Tianwei was simply a scourge sent by the heavens to torment him; he had only just rested for a week, yet he was once again in the awkward position of a 'ten-second heartbeat'.
Odds, how should the odds for this Arena be set?
Azeia retched; for the first time, he so detested his job, even contemplating changing professions.
He punched his own beast core hard, and Azeia finally gave up on that foolish idea.
Quitting felt good for a moment, but when he needed yuan crystals, he would know what suffering was.
Even for the high salary the black market offered him, he had to continue step by step.
Thinking this, Azeia's brain began to churn rapidly, considering what kind of odds he should offer.
Hikaru, a powerful wielder of the Gravity Domain, could crush enemies into mud with his Gravity Domain without even needing to attack.
Lin, a mysterious powerhouse shrouded in a mist.
His specific strength was unknown, only that he always managed to win with incredible power in seemingly unwinnable situations.
Not only that, in his last Arena against the Flame Domain, he even displayed overwhelming power, completely incinerating the Flame Domain to ashes with an invincible stance.
The Flame Spirit was burned to death, which was a great irony for the Flame Domain.
Staring intently at Lin Tianwei's calm face, Azeia tried to discern something from it.
As long as Lin Tianwei showed even a hint of guilt, he would be able to make a judgment immediately and offer Lin Tianwei extremely low odds.
Unfortunately, Azeia's idea was destined to fail.
If Lin Tianwei couldn't even manage his expressions, he wouldn't be worthy of standing here as Hikaru's opponent.
Azeia was destined to learn nothing from Lin Tianwei's expression.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and offered an extremely absurd odd.
One to one!
For an Arena between a Cosmic Beast ranked twenty-nine and a Cosmic Beast ranked twelve, Azeia actually offered one-to-one odds.
This meant that, in Azeia's eyes, Lin Tianwei's strength was completely equal to Hikaru's.
This was simply impossible.
So when Azeia gave the final odds, it didn't pass.
It turned out that Terende, the black market manager, had used his authority to forcibly stop the odds from being issued, deeming Azeia's proposed odds too outrageous.
Not only that, he directly offered odds that were completely different from Azeia's judgment.
Fifty to one!
Betting on Lin Tianwei's victory would successfully yield fifty times the prize money.
Betting on Hikaru's victory would successfully yield one-fiftieth of the prize money.
"Azeia, you incompetent, can't you even see the situation clearly?"
"Azeia is nothing but a paper tiger, how could he be compared to Hikaru?"
"You're fired, you've truly disappointed me, to be able to give such terrible odds."
"Once Hikaru wins, that will be the time our black market goes bankrupt."
Along with the appearance of the odds, Terende's voice also came, loudly reprimanding Azeia.
In response, Azeia only found the other party somewhat noisy and loudly retorted:
"Fired? I've long wanted to quit."
"You're the one manipulating the odds, yet you always make us take the blame."
"Bankrupt? Arbitrarily changing the odds I gave is when the black market will truly go bankrupt."
"We'll see!" (End of this chapter)
