131: Forbidden, Unparalleled (Ask Tao for Immortality 01+1)

The pupils of the many watching figures contracted sharply; total silence fell.

The smiles that had just begun to lift the corners of Quan Cheng and Feng Luoling's mouths vanished instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.

Donggong Li's constricted pupils gradually relaxed, and an unmasked smile appeared on his handsome face.

Good lad!

Impressive!

If he had previously been acting more out of a sense of duty, his mindset had now completely shifted.

Breaking a record that had been sealed for several martial arts eras in such a crushing manner was enough to earn his absolute attention and favor.

After all...

He himself was a Peerless Genius of that era who had nearly broken the record and held the title of 'Taboo.'

The number of fellow Domain Level humans he had surpassed and alien Domain Level experts who had fallen by his hand already exceeded ten.

Planet Blue... Donggong Li's eyes flickered.

After becoming an Emperor, he would come out of seclusion to help that kid resolve the crisis of his home planet.

[Prodigy Lin Yan, congratulations on breaking a record sealed for several martial arts eras and creating your own chapter. You have been awarded 2,000 contribution points.]

[Your name will be hung high on the Record Tablet at the Starry Sky Martial Arts Company Headquarters, appearing before the eyes of all Martial Artists who possess the qualification to admire your greatness.]

[May your future path be filled with martial fortune, may you achieve even greater success, and may you manifest the prestige of our Human Race.]

Two thousand points?

Lin Yan's eyes flashed slightly.

Having not yet understood the contribution System in detail, he didn't feel much of anything.

He scanned the arena, and his figure slowly vanished from the spot... Starry Sky Martial Arts Company Headquarters.

Rumble—!

A roar of thunderous sound.

Fireworks of various colors illuminated the pitch-black starry sky.

Deep within, at the top of a giant monument engraved with the words 'King · Realm'.

Lin Yan, Eighteen Years and Seven Months Old.

A line of large, shimmering golden characters rose above all others, slowly emerging.

All the figures present at the headquarters who had just logged out of the Battle Network watched with complex expressions.

Another Peerless Genius has appeared in the world.

It was very sudden, without the slightest warning.

On his first day joining the company, he broke the record directly.

A Peerless Genius even more terrifying, who caused a greater sensation than Donggong Li did back then.

Most importantly, the two of them shared a deep connection.

Guide... and the guided.

They already had a premonition of a future scene where two Emperors might shine together in the sky.

As personnel at the Domain Envoy level and above throughout the Human Race's Starry Sky Martial Arts Company looked at the messages on their communication rings in shock...

The Supreme Conference Hall.

The faces of dozens of figures were all filled with pleasant surprise.

"Good lad!!"

"That fleeting ocular technique and Physique should both be that boy's abilities!"

"With only the power of a Star Guidance Minor Accomplishment Level Martial Skill, he could directly instakill the projection of an alien Prodigy at the same Domain Level."

"Taboo!"

"This is a Taboo!"

"Hahahaha!"

"The Great Dao protects us!"

"Our race has finally produced another Peerless Genius!"

"A Peerless Genius even more terrifying than Donggong Li!"

Intense emotional fluctuations surged out.

Across the entire starry sky brilliant with fireworks, the intense joy of these Supreme beings could be felt.

"Decide on the scope of dissemination."

"This must be reported to the Ancestral Court."

"Correct."

"In such a grand era, those few must be informed."

"Internally, I suggest restricting it to Domain Envoy level and above."

"Acceptable."

"Agreed."

"Seconded."

"Speaking of which, Lad Li has actually benefited from that little fellow."

"Indeed."

"We might have even facilitated a legendary tale unique in the history of the Human Race."

"I hope this kid and that little fellow both grow up quickly."

"Hahaha!"

...As the sensation belonging to Lin Yan was transmitted from the headquarters to all personnel with sufficient rank across the Human Race's Starry Sky Martial Arts Company via top-secret channels.

Chiyang Imperial Court, Martial Arts Company Building.

Inside the secret room.

"Little fellow."

"Your 'give it a try' didn't just give me a fright; it has stirred up a monstrous wave throughout the entire Martial Arts Company."

Facing this teasing from Donggong Li within the projection.

Lin Yan smiled.

"I really did just want to give it a try."

Donggong Li was slightly speechless.

Still playing it low-key.

From the brief display in the rating battle, he could see that this kid was very likely not the gentle person he appeared to be on the surface.

Or rather...

The two of them were very much alike.

As soon as combat was involved, they would completely transform into a different person.

"Alright."

"I've just made adjustments to your guard detail; they are all people you can trust."

"They will arrive at your location soon."

"I won't disturb you from continuing to learn more basic information."

"If anything happens, just look for me."

At this point, the smiling Donggong Li's eyes turned slightly cold.

"Especially if you run into some fellow who dares to bully the young with superior strength."

"If the guard detail can't handle it, tell me."

"Even if it's the Holy Court, I'll make it bleed for days and nights."

A smile appeared on Lin Yan's face, a warm current flowing through his heart.

"Okay."

"Keep it up." Donggong Li's figure dissipated as the projection closed.

Lin Yan glanced at the light screen to the side, which had closed under his mental control, and turned to walk out of the secret room while looking at the System panel.

[Setting a record with a single strike, the first battle upon entering the starry sky, writing your own chapter, causing a stir among the Human Race's high-level leadership, domineering index: super star level, charge value: 254%]

[Current charge value: 1000%]

That's quite a lot.

After all, that Yao Race Prodigy projection only felt about the same as the Yao Race member he killed in the Great Ocean; it wasn't difficult.

It must be because of the sensation it caused that I received the super star level rating.

1000% charge value now.

The most important thing is done.

Next is to wait for the guard detail to arrive, followed by a wild surge in strength.

After all, right now I don't even know the specific meaning of the 'Star Guidance' label on the Martial Skills, let alone other basic common knowledge... Lin Yan, eighteen years and seven months old, broke the record for the Domain Level King Rank rating, ranking first. Congratulations!

The expression of Imperial Rank Domain Envoy in the VIP room was the same as all personnel at the Domain Envoy level and above within the Human Race's territory: shocked and incredulous.

However, compared to the question of "Who is Lin Yan?" arising in the hearts of others...

Imperial Rank Domain Envoy's face was flushed red, clearly due to over-excitement.

Holy crap!

The same name!

A perfectly matching age!

Who else could it be but the Lin Yan currently in the secret room not far away?

The Domain Level King Rank record!

So the reason it took so long was because he directly opened the rating trial!

A random Basic: Star Level challenge that he didn't even need to attend personally actually led him to encounter a Peerless Genius, a future Emperor!!

I, Imperial Rank Domain Envoy, am going to be incredibly successful!

Under the surprised gazes of Mu Chiyang and the others in the VIP room, Imperial Rank Domain Envoy's face took on an almost abnormal flush, and his body trembled violently.

Yuan Chi swallowed hard and tugged at Yuan Ming's sleeve. "Father, there isn't something wrong with this Lord Domain Envoy, is there?"

Yuan Ming suddenly turned his head to glare at him.

"Stupid brat, are you..."

Before his words could fall...

A figure in black appeared at the entrance of the VIP room.

Accompanied by the refreshing voice of a youth.

"Alright."

"Yuan Chi, take me to get something good to eat."
