Chapter 66: Struggle

"Ha ha! How laughable, in the boundless universe strength always reigns," the blood‑red figure laughed.

In his eyes, the Xiao Yu before him was just a newly rich nouveau riche; otherwise he wouldn't have only a Black Mong tribe Universe-level Fifth Tier bodyguard, and looking at Xiao Yu's face, he didn't seem to belong to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire or any surrounding interstellar great families.

Although the Black Dragon Mountain Empire forbids fighting here, its enforcement is weak.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire basically disregards this place; if it didn't collect some taxes each year, it wouldn't have established a base on the satellite at all.

This barren place, the outsiders sent here are mostly powerless fringe folk, and they hardly meddle in affairs.

With his family's strength, even killing the kid in front of him wouldn't cause the slightest ripple.

"Leave quickly, I don't want to cause more killing. With that Black Mong tribe Universe-level warrior by your side and those more than twenty Stellar-level rookies, you're no match for me," the blood‑red figure's voice softened a bit, but the attitude remained the same.

This spot in front of him was just right; the other two better places were occupied by Universe-level Ninth Tier warriors. He had just tried, couldn't seize them, and fled in disgrace. He didn't expect to find a suitable place here, and it was only held by a Stellar-level Ninth Tier warrior.

Although there was a Universe-level Fifth Tier bodyguard nearby, he didn't care; the Black Mong tribe, as the name suggests, are slaves, with rather average strength.

It's best to obtain it peacefully; if not, force is the only option.

"Heh heh!" Xiao Yu gave the other a middle finger, and then the Sky Thunder Blade appeared in his hands.

At the same time he sent a covert voice to Lu Dek: "Lu Dek, prepare."

"Young master, be careful!" Lu Dek tried to advise, but Xiao Yu stopped him with a glance.

The blood‑red figure, seeing Xiao Yu's middle finger, didn't quite understand its meaning but felt provoked.

"Refusing a toast, you drink the penalty," the blood‑red figure shouted, and a Seven-layer Thunder Domain unfolded around him; countless bolts of lightning flickered, drawing the ambient atmospheric electricity into the domain, continuously amplifying its power.

Xiao Yu felt surrounded by the Thunder Domain, his speed slightly reduced, so he instantly activated his own domain; the Seven-layer Domain that had just covered him could not approach him by even a hair, and moreover it was being rapidly forced back.

At the same time, Lu Dek's surrounding domain also unfolded—a Five-layer Water Domain rippling like concentric circles, while the Thunder Domain's radius was compressed to ten meters around him.

After Xiao Yu released his suppression of Lu Dek, Lu Dek's domain re‑expanded.

The blood‑red figure was instantly shocked and exclaimed, "Stellar-level Ninth Tier, the domain is even stronger than mine! At least it's an Eight-layer Thunder Domain."

The person before him must be a genius cultivated by a great power; this time his actions were perhaps a bit reckless.

When a hint of retreat rose in his mind, a hundred bolts of Lightning formed into Thunder Blades before Xiao Yu; each blade was three meters long, and in the next instant the hundred blades merged into a single, exquisitely condensed ten‑meter‑long Thunder Blade that spun rapidly, its endless rotating shockwave gathering around it.

This is the second tier of the Sky Thunder Blade. Its first tier can condense ten Thunder Blades, each possessing the full‑force strike of a Universe-level Third Tier warrior. The second tier condenses a hundred Thunder Blades, merging them into a Thunder Blade comparable in power to the full‑force strike of a Universe-level Seventh Tier warrior.

After the ten‑meter Thunder Blade formed, Xiao Yu infused a trace of his own comprehended Lightning power into it, making the Blade stronger, faster, and more agile.

The blood‑red figure muttered, "Not good!"

He tried to dodge, but the five‑meter‑long Thunder Blade moved several notches faster than ordinary lightning and was supremely agile; wherever he fled, it pursued him.

Countless blue flashes shone, and the massive shockwave agitated the surrounding air, spawning an even larger thunderstorm.

The peak beneath Xiao Yu's feet was shattered by the shockwave; countless rocks flew, and the entire mountain instantly shrank by several dozen meters.

"He has already grasped the law's power!" the blood‑red figure whispered.

Even though his Fourth Tier Force Armor provided some cancellation, a portion of Lightning Law power still entered his body, raging within.

That single strike nearly left him gravely wounded; blood spurted from his mouth as he fled at high speed.

Xiao Yu glanced at his opponent and thought, "What a pity," noting that he had just grasped the law's power; this was his first battle, and he was still unfamiliar with fighting using it.

Most of his internal Force was expended at once; had he controlled it more precisely, he wouldn't have needed to waste so much Force to achieve the same effect.

Lu Dek, standing nearby, surged forward in pursuit, but Xiao Yu quickly stopped him.

The commotion of Xiao Yu's recent battle with the blood‑red figure was sensed by several people several thousand kilometers away.

"Incredible, incredible! A tiny Stellar-level Ninth Tier warrior has actually grasped the law; judging by the situation, the depth of his comprehension is quite profound!" muttered a one‑meter‑tall figure cloaked in a black robe.

A figure shrouded in lightning a thousand kilometers away said, "Indeed remarkable, Na Sha Te, this kid is far stronger than you were back then!"

"You were even weaker than me back then!" the black‑cloaked figure sneered.

As the surrounding crowd continued to discuss.

Xiao Yu asked, "Wu, I felt many shortcomings in my control during that fight; do you have any good advice?"

"Xiao Yu, you have just grasped the law's power, and your weapon has only just activated its second tier; achieving such results is already quite impressive!" Wu replied, "To master each strand of power more finely, you need constant combat, preferably life‑or‑death battles."

"So I can fight in a killing field to hone my mastery of power," Xiao Yu said.

To engage in life‑or‑death duels, he could simply join the Universe‑level Apprentice Mercenary Examination, where the battles are guaranteed to be life‑or‑death and uneven.

"Not bad," Wu said. "In that case, we have no purpose left on this Thunder Star."

"Alright, then let's leave; it's been over half a year since I last departed."

Xiao Yu addressed the crowd still surrounding him, "Lu Dek, Xiao Yi, you two greet everyone; we're setting off home!"

"Yes, young master," the others replied.

Xiao Yu, Lu Dek, and over twenty others surged into the sky at incredible speed, and in an instant they arrived at Dock 1 of the satellite.
