The central capital, Yanjing of the Celestial Empire, is also the largest city on the mainland, it is located on a huge floating island, suspended at an altitude of 30,000 meters, almost between the endless void and the continental atmosphere.

Only monks above the Void level can live here, because monks above the sky level cannot survive in the void without the protection of the continent's atmosphere.

Yang Tong also knew that the entire central capital was a huge nine-grade spirit tool, which was an important barrier to protect the Fengxuan Continent, and with its existence, any foreign race that wanted to conquer the continent from the void had to pass through it.

However, in the central capital, all the elite monks are stationed, and there are many masters above the Holy Domain who live here, as well as the most elite legions in the entire Celestial Empire, among this legion, the weakest soldiers are all Void level monks, the squad leader level is the Sacred Domain powerhouse, the squadron leader level is the demigod powerhouse, and the captain level is the true god!

If you want to enter the Central Capital, unless you get a pass, you don't even think about stepping into it even if you are a demigod.

A month after handling the lock, Yang Tong appeared in the central capital.

The aura here is even higher, and this level of aura can only be separated and absorbed from the void by monks above the void level. A Void-level cultivator cultivating here for one day is comparable to cultivating for ten days in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the continent.

The aura above the continent is suitable for the cultivation of cultivators at and below the void level, and after reaching the holy realm, although the aura of the continent can also be effective, it is not as effective as the high-level aura in the void.

However, the aura in the void is mixed with countless starry sky radiation and cosmic impurities, and there are very few pure void aura, which must be refined, and sometimes the effect is not even as good as attracting the aura of the continent. The Void Spirit Stone is a spirit stone that contains pure Void Spiritual Qi, so it is more precious than the best spirit stone.

Along the way, Yang Tong was an eye-opener, and the passers-by walking on the street were all above the Void level, and most of them were in the early stage of the Void. Void-level monks who can be regarded as masters on the continent can be seen everywhere in the central capital.

In the storefronts next to the street, they are selling second- and third-order treasures, which can only be found at auctions on the mainland, but here, they are just ordinary goods.

The pedestrians on the streets, except for the members of the royal family, are all disciples and members of the three superpowers.

Yang Tong thought to himself, no wonder on the mainland, there are few disciples of the three super forces walking, and they are all concentrated in Yanjing.

Even if they are both disciples and members of the three major super forces, they will be divided into several departments according to their different potentials, and Yang Tong belongs to the genius department.

The potential is divided into: mediocre talent, medium talent, talent, genius, and super genius.

Of course, this is the division of the Mercenary Guild, even if it is a mediocre posture in the mercenary guild's potential level, they can be regarded as geniuses on the mainland, because they can cultivate to the level of the void or above.

In the potential evaluation of the Mercenary Guild, Yang Tong belongs to the super genius level, and the treatment is the highest, so as soon as he enters the void, he is rewarded with a Nine Dragon Zhi Fruit, saving Yang Tong the long process of cultivating and accumulating true yuan.

Yang Tong now lives in a single room in a collective dormitory arranged for him by the Mercenary Guild. In the entire dormitory, there are twenty single rooms like this.

It is said to be a single room, but in fact it is a small cave house, which is fully functional and quite comfortable to live in. He also sent out a hundred Void Spirit Stones for Yang Tong's cultivation.

Some are already occupied, some are still empty.

There was still about a year before the official convening of the Mercenary Guild, and Yang Tong lived with peace of mind.

After living for a few days, Yang Tong found that among the other seven people living in the dormitory, he was the top five masters in the imperial examination that year.

Li Wang, Bai Ying, Dongfang Wu Hate, Zhu Xiaotian, Gu Shenlou and other five people, and two people, a thin young man named Li Ping, and a two-meter strong man named Duanmu Lei-

Yang Tong came back from shopping and was about to enter his dormitory, when Duanmulei stopped Yang Tong and greeted, "Hey, new here?"

"My name is Yang Tong, hello. Although Yang Tong knew Duanmulei's name, he had not officially introduced him.

"My name is Duanmulei, I want to talk to you. Duanmulei said bluntly.

"Private fights are not allowed here, right?" Yang Tong said embarrassedly, as early as the first day he moved in, he was told the rules that private fights were not allowed, and besides, Yang Tong didn't want to fight with people for no reason.

"Hehe, you don't know, the rules say that you are not allowed to do it in reality, but it doesn't say that you are not allowed to compete in the virtual world. Duanmu Lei smiled softly and explained, "This is the Fengxuan General Branch of the Mercenary Guild, which gathers all the scientific and technological forces of human civilization, what is it to build a virtual world? ”

Yang Tong is very curious, Yang Tong has seen virtual network technology, but that technology is just virtual imaging technology. The virtual world in the real sense, Yang Tong has only seen it in novels before, and has never seen it. So, he also set off with Duanmulei behind him.

The dormitory where Yang Tong is located is itself a training base of the Mercenary Guild, and all kinds of training equipment in it are the most advanced and expensive in human civilization.

Yang Tong hadn't been here for a long time, but in fact, this place was open around the clock for members of the Genius Department.

The two came to a hall, and Duanmu Lei took out his identity token and scratched it on the machine next to the door, and the door opened.

"You have to register it too, otherwise you can only look at it when you go in, and you won't be able to use all the equipment inside. Duanmulei opened his mouth to remind.

Yang Tong took out his identity token and swiped it. A green light is lit on the recognizer, which indicates that the registration is successful.

This hall is constructed of space technology, and from the outside it looks like a normal hall, but when you enter it, you find that the space inside is a hundred times larger than the outside.

The hall door was closed, and Yang Tong's front was a huge screen, which showed the fight between Liwang and Bai Ying.

"The image you see is a live broadcast of the virtual martial arts arena, the degree of virtuality is 100%, what kind of attacks you can use in reality, you can also use it in the virtual world, and even the mysteries of the law can be played, which is almost exactly the same as reality. Duanmurai explained.

Yang Tong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this-

Duanmulei laughed: "When I first came, I was just like you, and I was even more surprised than you, your concentration is much stronger than mine." ”

"How did you invent this technology, it's a little too powerful. Yang Tong sighed.

"No, according to what I said, virtual network technology is not a superb technology, and a technology like this that can be mysterious and virtual is the real anti-heaven technology. This is the embodiment of our human civilization's ability to stand tall among the great powers of the universe. Duanmurai replied.

"In the virtual world, you can go all out, fight to the death, and it won't cause serious consequences. Only by fighting for life and death can we make greater progress. Duanmulei said, "I've been here for three years, and the progress in these three years has almost surpassed the progress of the previous thirty years. ”

"Looks like I'm a little late. Yang Tong sighed.

"Hahaha, let's have a game. Duanmulei greeted.

The two came to a sealed warehouse, Yang Tong sat in according to Duanmulei's instructions, and the door of the warehouse was closed. The chair is back-resting, slightly tilted, and the person sits in a semi-reclining posture, with a sensing spirit device on his head.

The agent began to scan: "Di, the virtual character has been built, please connect the sensor with consciousness." ”

It turns out that this sensor that connects the imaginary world is an active connection mode, and the user can separate a part of the consciousness to be able to access the Internet, which is the same as using an auxiliary spirit device.

Yang Tong's consciousness was connected to the sensor, and he only felt that his consciousness flashed, and suddenly, he felt that he was in a ring, and everything such as his body perception was exactly the same as his real body. Half of Yang Tong's consciousness is in the real body, which means that Yang Tong seems to have two bodies at this moment.

After feeling the level of cultivation, it turned out to be exactly the same as the body in reality, and even all the senses such as pain were there, making it impossible to tell whether this was real or virtual.

Duanmu Lei's figure suddenly appeared in the ring, he looked over and said, "How about it, let's get acquainted with it." ”

Yang Tong nodded, and simply played a set of Tai Chi, carefully feeling this new body, the true element, body, thoughts, senses, and so on were all familiar one by one.

"What weapons do you use? You can use your consciousness to make a virtual one to the main brain, or you can choose all kinds of weapons that are available in the virtual world. Duanmuri said.

Yang Tong's consciousness moved, and many pictures suddenly appeared in front of him, each of which had detailed information introduced into Yang Tong's consciousness. There are all kinds of weapons and armor, and they are fully functional and diverse.

Chapter 187 The powerful Duanmu Lei Yang Tong chose a three-foot long sword, and the defensive equipment chose a conventional defensive spirit tool. The choice is certain, Yang Tong's body was immediately covered with battle armor, and a three-foot long sword also appeared in his hand, this is the benefit of the virtual world, anything can be concretized in an instant.

Yang Tong waved his sword, feeling that there was no big difference from reality at all, and he was very satisfied.

"Come on!" Yang Tong said.

"Okay, I'm here, pick up. Thunder moves for nine days!" Duanmu Lei used his trick as soon as he came, and the weapon he used was a halberd.

Violent thunder and lightning shot out from the tip of the halberd, engulfing Yang Tong in an instant.

Yang Tong was caught off guard, and he only had time to swing his sword to block, but the parry was broken by the other party in an instant, and the powerful force hit his body, and the protection of the battle suit blocked half of the power, and the remaining half of the power also beat Yang Tong into a serious injury and flew upside down, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

At this moment, Duanmu Lei's figure flashed, and he instantly caught up with Yang Tong's figure, and a halberd stabbed out.

Yang Tong only saw the tip of a crescent halberd attack, and then his eyes went black. A chime sounded in his ears: "Tick, the user is dead, whether it is resurrected." ”

"Resurrection. Yang Tong nodded in response.

Yang Tong came back to life, Duanmu Lei stood with one hand in his halberd, touched his head with the other hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to my surname being a little heavier." It seems that Brother Yang doesn't often fight with people, and his experience is too shallow. This is done with people, and as soon as you come up, you have to use all your strength and use the most powerful tricks to solve the opponent. Unless you have a strong defense, grabbing is the best option. ”

When Yang Tong heard this, he did have a feeling of sudden realization, and nodded in response: "In the future, it is true that he rarely fights with others, or rarely fights with evenly matched opponents. ”

"Do you want to come again?" Duanmu Lei asked, with a halberd in his hand.

"Come on, come on. Look at the sword, the sword lotus style!" Yang Tong re-embodied a long sword, and when he came up, he grabbed the merit.

"Good swordsmanship, this is the Silent Mystery of the Law of Wood, I can't imagine that Yang Tong, your comprehension of the Silent Mystery is no less than my comprehension of the Thunder Wei Mystery . Duanmu Thunder Halberd Horizontal, "Thunder Nine Days!"

Two tricks, two kinds of laws and mysteries! ――

After three breaths, Yang Tong's Silent Annihilation Sword Intent gradually fell into disadvantage, because the Law of Thunder was stronger than the Law of Wood in terms of attack power.

"Thunder Lightning Nine Days!" Duanmu Lei suddenly changed his moves, and a flash of lightning broke through Yang Tong's sword move and attacked directly.

Yang Tong turned his sword and drank softly: "Three lotuses and pedicles!"

Three sword lotuses flashed, surrounding Yang Tong and turning into a three-sided lotus-shaped shield, Duanmu Lei's inevitable halberd was blocked, and not even a single sword lotus was broken.

The three lotus shields were born of each other, and Yang Tong suddenly understood that this move turned out to be a defensive swordsmanship, not an offensive swordsmanship. Yang Tong has been using it as an attack swordsmanship, no wonder there is no way to understand the deep meaning of the sword.

Shield, wall of defense.

The three lotus shields suddenly turned into three impermeable and indestructible defensive shields, a magical artistic conception, which emerged from the shield, which is one of the six mysteries of the law of the earth, the sword intent of the earth shield!

Yang Tong suddenly comprehended the sword intent of this move, and immediately used it.

"Damn, break through the formation, this is okay?" Duanmulei looked at the three shield walls in front of him speechlessly.

The law of earth and the law of water, each has a powerful defensive mystery, and the subtlety of the earth shield mysteries lies in the unstoppable mystical bonus, and the first understanding of this mysteries can triple the power of a defensive secret method.

Originally, the move of the Three Lotus and the Lotus was a powerful sword move that tripled the defense power, but under the Xuan Ao bonus, it was increased by three times, which is nine times the defense power.

It's no wonder that Duanmu is also difficult to break.

"Okay, try my ultimate trick!" Duanmu Lei shouted, and he actually used the trick of pressing the bottom of the box.

Yang Tong was quite surprised when he heard this, isn't this all the strength of Duanmu Lei?

Yang Tong's comprehension of the mysteries of the law is not as good as Duanmu Lei, Duanmu Lei is focused on the law of thunder, and the two halberd methods that appear are both fused with different mysteries of the law of thunder.

In comparison, Duanmu Lei, who focused on the law of thunder, was naturally much stronger than the strength shown by Yang Tong.

"Thor is here!" Duanmu Lei roared, the halberd was erected, the halberd was pointed to the sky, and it was raised high, but behind Duanmu Lei, a huge phantom appeared, and this phantom seemed to be infinitely majestic.

Suddenly, the phantom turned into a streamer of light, injected into the halberd, and Duanmu Lei swung out a halberd, and a crescent halberd light shot out in an instant.

hit Yang Tong's three sword lotus shields.

Three shields with nine times the defensive power, one shield was broken by the crescent moon in an instant, and then the second shield, which was broken after a stalemate of half a breath, and the third shield was broken for a stalemate of a breath.

However, with a breath and a half, Yang Tong was able to calmly dodge the terrifying attack of the crescent halberd light.

"What a powerful move, I lost in the next one. Yang Tong calmly admitted defeat.

"Yang Tong, your strength is not weak, but I see that you have comprehended two mysteries, and they belong to different laws, which is really surprising to me. Compared to a monk like me, who only understands one law, it is much easier than you to understand two. It seems that your kid is not shallow, and he is actually going to cultivate towards a high-level true god from now on. Duanmulei sighed.

Yang Tong smiled and said, "You are also very strong, and you have even begun to fuse the two mysteries." Compared to you, my strength is still not enough. ”

Yang Tong cultivates immortals, and the spelling law is definitely a divine cultivation that focuses on one rule in the early stage. Like Duanmu Lei, he has comprehended the two mysteries of the law of thunder, and can initially fuse, which is a rather terrifying performance. Talent is a bit weak in terms of excellence.

The reason why the Immortal Dao has the treasure of protecting the Dao is because the Immortal Dao is weak in the early stage, so it relies on the magic weapon.

Yang Tong's fighting power here is definitely not Duanmu Lei's opponent, unless Yang Tong completely practices the "Qinglian Sword Technique" and realizes every sword intent. Otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat Duanmu Lei in the Void Level.

But if it is in reality, as soon as the fifteen-story Miluo Void Tower is released, it will definitely kill in seconds at the same level. Even when he crossed the level to face the Sacred Domain level master, Yang Tong was not stunned.

"Your swordsmanship is very good, there should be another one, right?" Duanmu Lei asked strangely.

"Yes, this sword technique is divided into thirteen styles, and I have only learned four styles, three of which are the first glimpse of the doorway. Yang Tong replied calmly-

"Oh, there are two more forms, then I want to see it, come, let's come again!" Duanmu Lei said happily when he saw the hunt.

"It's okay, pick me up the third form, and the seven lotuses will turn into one!" Yang Tong fused the seven sword lotuses into one.

This sword is used, there is a feeling of burning everything, destroying the heavens and the earth, and under the blessing of this artistic conception, the power of the sword move will naturally increase greatly.

"Nine days of thunder!"

Duanmu Lei also used this most powerful conventional halberd method.

The swords and halberds clashed, making a crisp and loud metallic clash.

Immediately after a huge force, after a stalemate for a while, it finally became uncontrollable and produced a violent explosion.

Yang Tong's third-style sword technique and destruction sword intent gained the upper hand, swinging away Duanmu Lei's crescent halberd, and destroying Duanmu Lei's battle suit with one sword, but Duanmu Lei flew upside down.

Duanmu Lei controlled his body halfway, and a jack fell to the ground.

This sword broke through Duanmu Lei's battle suit but did not hurt him, because most of the power of this sword had been blocked by the thunder nine heavens.

"What a terrible sword, Yang Tong, it seems that you are really well hidden!" Duanmu Lei exclaimed happily, and at the same time, his perception of Yang Tong also changed a lot.

Duanmu Lei is quite accurate in seeing people, and after this fight, he is even more sure that Yang Tong is not simple. Because he fought with him, it seemed that he used all his strength, but in fact, Duanmu Lei still sensitively felt that Yang Tong seemed to have reservations.

"Brother Duanmu laughed, this sword is also the strongest sword, I haven't fully comprehended the fourth style of swordsmanship, during this time, I also want to ask Brother Duanmu to be a sparring partner for me, to help me practice the fourth, fifth and sixth styles. Yang Tong said.

"Oh, there's a new trick, so I'm obligated to do it. Duanmu Lei happily replied, he is most interested in the novel secret arts, and the same favorite is to fight with people with all his might, since experiencing this virtual fighting system, Duanmu Lei is in love with it, every day I want to find an opponent to fight with all my strength, a day without fighting, I feel itchy in my hands.

Yang Tong and Duanmu Lei exited the virtual world, walked out of the warehouse, and walked side by side towards the canteen, the canteen here is made of high-end ingredients, quite expensive, has extremely rich nutrition, and can gradually enhance the existing talent from a deep level, which cannot be eaten at all in the outside world.

"By the way, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? This time, our Mercenary Guild selects elite geniuses and will send them to the Divine Realm Headquarters to receive the most powerful inheritance of human civilization. Like the five geniuses who stood out in the mainland imperial examination this time, there will be a challenge competition with our guild descendants who have climbed up from the bottom. It is they who come to challenge us, challenge the winners, and they will be able to take our place and be sent to the Divine Realm Headquarters to accept our inheritance in our place. Duanmulei opened his mouth and explained, "I believe you also know my background, we are all from scattered cultivation, earth-level, sky-level, we all rely on our own strength from the bottom to work hard, and I Duanmulei looks down on those young masters who were born with golden keys the most." Now they are going to snatch our place, which is simply unforgivable. ”
