The True Purpose of the Killing Field

“What important purpose?” Luo Feng asked eagerly.

“Everyone knows the first purpose: you can select any opponent you want to fight. But the second purpose, well, that’s quite important.” Babata’s small face broke into a smug smile. “You read that metal book just now, didn’t you? You know you can set up any opponent you like, right?”

“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.

“The second purpose is, you can set up an opponent! Their physical stats, mental strength, consciousness, special techniques, weapons, everything will be identical to yours! The only difference is… the opponent will have incredibly rich experience and be exceptionally skilled in combat,” Babata explained. “Do you understand what I mean?”

Luo Feng paused, then was overcome with wild joy!

Right!

The opponent would be himself, but an ‘experienced and exceptionally skilled in combat’ version of himself! Fighting such an opponent would make it easy to absorb experience by observing their combat style and techniques, especially since the simulated opponent’s body, consciousness, and mental strength were identical to his own.

“Through this method, you can rapidly gain experience,” Babata said.

“Of course, neither of those two are the most important,” Babata chuckled.

Luo Feng held his breath.

At the very least, Luo Feng was incredibly excited about the second purpose Babata mentioned! How could he improve? How should he fight? He could set up an opponent and learn from them. This would rapidly enhance his combat techniques and was an extremely effective use.

“For the powerhouses in the cosmos, which one isn’t extremely cunning and rich in combat experience?”

“So, what attracts them the most is…”

“The Killing Field has the effect of a ‘teacher’!” Babata stated solemnly.

“A teacher?”

Luo Feng was taken aback.

“Yes.” Babata nodded. “Look, Luo Feng, with your current mental strength, how many blades can you control at most?”

“36!” Luo Feng replied.

The stronger the Golden Horn Beast became, the stronger Luo Feng’s mental strength naturally grew. Currently, the Golden Horn Beast was Star-level Tier 7, and his mental strength allowed him to control 36 blades with maximum power.

“According to the Duntiansuo’s three major forms and nine layers of mastery, with an amplitude strength of 36, you already possess Fifth-tier power. But why are you still using the ‘Swordfish Array’ composed of 30 blades?” Babata pressed.

“An amplitude strength of 36 is just meeting the condition; there are still many difficulties in actually deploying it,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but say. “Flexibility, application techniques, how to drive it, and so on. Repeated failures, repeated attempts… it takes a long time to truly unleash the Duntiansuo’s power. Even now, with an amplitude strength of 36, I still need to ponder for a long time to exert Fifth-tier power.”

“Haha…”

“Luo Feng, what if you set up an opponent right now, whose weapon is also the Duntiansuo, and you set them to be able to use the Duntiansuo’s Fifth-tier power!” Babata laughed, revealing two fangs. “That way, wouldn’t you see with your own eyes how others manipulate the Duntiansuo?”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

Having someone demonstrate it repeatedly right before his eyes was fundamentally different from trying to learn it from a book out of thin air.

“Furthermore, you can set the opponent to control the Duntiansuo with absolute perfection! This way, you’ll be able to see… exactly how to wield the Duntiansuo to unleash its maximum power,” Babata added.

“Absolute perfection?” Luo Feng understood clearly.

The Duntiansuo’s First Form, ‘Drill Cone,’ required virtually no technique; it was simply fired in a straight line.

However, the ‘Swordfish Array’ placed much greater emphasis on flexibility and technique.

And the Third Form was even more complex.

At this point, control ability was crucial; in different hands, it would unleash different levels of power. If the ‘Swordfish Array’ was executed with perfect precision, its combat power could potentially increase by one or two times.

“This is a free sparring partner, a free teacher.”

“You want to learn the Duntiansuo? Well, there you go, problem solved, right?” Babata grinned mischievously.

“What you’re talking about is still pretty basic. Take your teacher, for example, an Undying! He has considerable achievements in ‘space,’ even capable of using spatial secret techniques to conceal cosmic coordinates,” Babata explained. “But what if he wants to improve further? He can simply set up an opponent who knows spatial secret techniques, an opponent who is slightly more accomplished in spatial secret techniques than he is.”

“Then, he can personally spar with this opponent again and again.”

“In that way, improving in ‘space’ becomes much easier than just toiling away alone,” Babata clarified.

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

Many secret techniques involving the cosmic origin were profound and extensive.

Simply watching an opponent perform them would naturally make it difficult to learn. But if he already had some insights himself, repeatedly sparring with an opponent who understood the secret techniques would naturally make it easier to comprehend more.

“A free sparring partner, a free teacher,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but praise, then his eyes widened. “Wait, no, this place is very expensive.”

“Expensive? Once you become a Sector Lord! Or an Undying being, how difficult is it to achieve even a small breakthrough? A place like the Killing Field… for them, the cost-effectiveness is simply too high! Spending a price that isn’t painful for them to get the opponent they need,” Babata exclaimed. “You have to understand, many powerhouses get stuck at a threshold in their cosmic insights. Finding an opponent whose insights are slightly stronger than theirs and fighting them can easily trigger a breakthrough!”

Luo Feng couldn’t help but nod.

No wonder…

No wonder this Killing Field dared to charge such high prices.

“Babata, how can this Killing Field simulate completely realistic secret techniques and ultimate moves?” Luo Feng asked, unable to contain himself.

“The owner of the Killing Field is the Virtual Universe Company,” Babata said. “Over countless years, countless powerhouses in the vast cosmos have fought and sparred in this Virtual Universe. Every single one of their combat scenarios is naturally recorded by the Virtual Universe. That’s why the Virtual Universe’s database is incredibly vast. There are tons of secret techniques!”

“Of course, these are all demonstrations of secret techniques, not how to cultivate them,” Babata clarified.

Luo Feng nodded.

Indeed, for a secret technique like the Yunmo Star lineage’s ‘Soul Imprint,’ even if the Virtual Universe Network recorded his performance, without the cultivation manual, it would still be useless.

However…

For someone who was also cultivating that same lineage, it would have a profound impact.

“Babata, help me set up an opponent: a Golden Horn Beast, Star-level Tier 1,” Luo Feng called out.

…

Luo Feng had now fully realized the Killing Field’s most valuable function: to give him clear direction and show him how to cultivate faster! This Killing Field was part of the Virtual Universe Company’s database, and as one of the five major giants, the Virtual Universe Company was many times more powerful than any Cosmic Nation.

The Virtual Universe Company surely had a reserve of Golden Horn Beast combat scenarios!

“Pfft!”

“Dead again.”

“Again.” Luo Feng stood in mid-air, looking at the terrifying monster covered in black scales, the Golden Horn Beast, finally understanding its ferocity.

He was Star-level Tier 1! And his mental strength amplitude was 36, giving his mental force weapons immense power.

The Golden Horn Beast was also Star-level Tier 1!

One-sided!

Of course, he was the one falling!

“At the same level and tier, a human wanting to defeat a Golden Horn Beast? That’s practically an impossible task. Even if someone managed it, that person would be a truly peerless genius, born occasionally among billions of galaxies, and would have been meticulously taught by someone even more powerful than your teacher,” Babata said. “As for you, Luo Feng? Your strength has increased too quickly, and your Duntiansuo control techniques are still very crude. Even if ten of you came, you’d all be crushed.”

Death!

More death!

Luo Feng was killed again and again by a Golden Horn Beast of the same level and tier. There was another reason for this: Luo Feng had set this Golden Horn Beast to be exceptionally skilled in combat!

“So, this is how a Golden Horn Beast should fight!”

“The wings actually feel like saber techniques. It turns out the best use for these scaled wings isn’t to pounce, but to slice, like a saber, and this gliding motion also greatly increases maneuverability.”

“The tail feels like a whip. The tail is indeed the fastest moving part of the Golden Horn Beast’s body. I only knew how to strike with it simply, but the Golden Horn Beast’s tail in this Killing Field is like a true whip, sometimes even striking with vibrations, tearing space apart, and its power clearly skyrockets.”

“Its claws, when they strike, unleash earth-shattering power.”

Luo Feng was directly trampled to death by the Golden Horn Beast’s hooves and claws!

“That’s it, that’s it.” Reviving once more, Luo Feng was incredibly excited. “I know how to train the Golden Horn Beast from now on.”

Good talent doesn’t mean every Golden Horn Beast is equally strong.

It’s important to know that among generations of Golden Horn Beasts, many died having only reached the First Layer of the ‘Absolute Space’ secret technique, and quite a few were stuck at the Second Layer. But historically, there have been Golden Horn Beasts who cultivated to the Third Layer! What does this indicate? Even with equally powerful bloodlines, there are differences in internal combat power.

Luo Feng’s goal was to make himself the strongest Golden Horn Beast in history!

…

In the days that followed.

Luo Feng first bought a plot of land with Hong and Lei Shen in ‘Nine Star Bay’ on Black Dragon Mountain Island. They customized several wooden houses according to their preferences, allowing the families of Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen to all live there. For this purpose, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen also sent a large number of consciousness induction helmets to Earth.

Luo Feng’s family members all loved it there.

His parents enjoyed ‘virtual games,’ living wonderful lives within the Virtual Universe. His two children, Pingping and Xiaohai, began Babata’s educational plan, receiving martial arts guidance through entertainment from a young age. The most excited, undoubtedly, was his younger brother, Luo Hua.

“It’s too magnificent.”

“The stock market on Earth, compared to the cosmic financial investment system here, is like a drop of water compared to the ocean.”

“This is truly a paradise for investors who love finance!!!” Luo Hua was incredibly excited. For this, he even asked Luo Feng for ten induction helmets for his assistants. From then on, Luo Hua and his assistants lived in a three-story wooden house, beginning to analyze the finances of many Cosmic Nations and make investments.

As for the principal?

Luo Feng had originally given Hong and Lei Shen each 500 million Ganwu currency, and naturally, he wouldn’t give his younger brother any less, also 500 million Ganwu currency.

…

The Virtual Universe truly had everything imaginable.

Midway, Luo Feng also learned that the small satellite monitor placed near the ‘wormhole’ had detected a spaceship. Luo Feng estimated it to be the Nuolanshan Family’s spaceship. However… its arrival on Earth was still two years and eight months away. Luo Feng wasn’t in a hurry. He was currently in a state of immense joy.

“Sanzi, you say I’m crazy, but Big Brother is the truly crazy one. The most I’ve gone without leaving the Killing Field is three days, but look at Big Brother, he hasn’t left the Killing Field for eight consecutive days! Doesn’t he get tired?”

Lei Shen and Luo Feng were sitting in a corner of the Killing Field’s main hall, ordering some drinks and tea.
