1. Devouring the Stars

Yangzhou City, Mingyue Community.

In the martial arts training hall, Lu Xiao waved his sword and repeated the moves in the basic sword technique over and over again.

He cut horizontally, vertically, upwardly, obliquely chopped... He practiced over and over again without feeling bored at all.

Although it was just the most basic move, he practiced it very seriously, completing every move and every time meticulously.

If someone is present at this time, he will find that his movements in each move are very standard, as if he had measured them with a ruler, and he can be used directly as a teaching video after shooting.

In fact, since he started learning martial arts, Lu Xiao has practiced this countless times.

By now, every move has been engraved into his bones, forming physical memory and conditioned reflexes.

He could complete all the movements automatically without even thinking, with his eyes closed, and he completed them perfectly.

But even so, every time he practices, he will concentrate all his energy and experience it carefully.

From holding the knife, mobilizing the body, exerting force, swinging, closing the knife, adjusting the center of gravity, to his body changes, knife movement trajectory, air resistance... he will all appreciate, grasp, calculate, and adjust it one by one.

Gradually, Lu Xiao was immersed in such a state, and his body, knife and environment seemed to have become one.

I don't know how long it took-

"Huh~"

He suddenly exhales and closes his knife and stops practicing.

Without looking at the time, Lu Xiao also knew that it was 9:00 am now, no more than one minute, no more than one minute, and he had just practiced for an hour.

This is not the first time he has entered this wonderful state of unity of the three, sword and environment. He can now switch independently, enter or leave.

However, although he has made rapid progress in this state, the burden on his body and energy for a long time is too heavy, so he must strictly control his time, otherwise it will easily cause deficits.

After practicing the knife, he continued to practice his body skills.

The same hour later, Lu Xiao stopped and walked to the other end of the martial arts training hall.

The martial arts hall at Lu Xiao’s home is very large, with a whopping 120 square meters. In addition to the wooden men and weapon stands used for martial arts, he also vacated a corner to place the bookshelf.

There was a futon on the ground next to the bookshelf. Lu Xiao walked over, sat cross-legged on it, took a book and opened it, and continued to read from the position of the bookmark.

This is a habit he has always developed. Generally, every two hours of practice swordsmanship, he will stop and rest for half an hour to read, which is also a combination of work and rest.

There are not many books on the bookshelf, and twenty or thirty books are scattered, but almost all of them are large. For example, the book "All History of Chinese Philosophy" contains all the philosophical works in China since ancient times, as well as comments and interpretations from different people.

This is obviously not a place to put it on the screen, because it can be seen that although the owner of the book loves books very much, because they are often read, these books are still very different from new books in terms of appearance.

Except for a book called "Looking at Global Changes from Great Nirvana", it is placed alone at the top of the bookshelf, and it looks like it is 70% new.

This was bought online when Lu Xiao first came to this world, mainly to understand the changes in this world since Nirvana.

Great Nirvana! This is a very important turning point, starting from Great Nirvana, the history of this world has gone in a completely different direction than his previous life.

...

At the beginning of the 21st century, a terrible rr-type influenza broke out around the world, and all lives around the world were infected, and 2 billion people lost their lives as a result.

Fortunately, the people who survived eventually produced antibodies in their bodies and their physiques were greatly enhanced. Almost everyone's strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness increased by more than twice! Even an ordinary person can easily break the past world record of weightlifting and 100-meter running.

However, it is not only humans that have become stronger, but also countless birds and beasts!

In terms of number, they are much more than humans, and in terms of physical fitness, they are mostly more than humans. Therefore, after this disaster, their physical fitness improvement is much greater than that of humans, and some monsters have even evolved into wisdom no less than humans!

Finally, under the leadership of advanced monsters, war broke out between monsters and humans!

But in the war, people found that the effect of thermal weapons was very limited. Bullets could not even break the fur and scales on the monsters' bodies, while more powerful missiles could be avoided by monsters with fast nerve reactions and fast speeds. Even the ultimate weapon nuclear bomb only caused heavy casualties in the explosion center, while the monsters within a larger radiation range did not die. On the contrary, nuclear radiation caused the monsters to mutate, and a more terrifying existence was born!

Fortunately, strong people also appeared among humans, and scientists also invented Cro alloys that can break through monster scale armor. It was not until the development of human ultra-high frequency laser cannons was successful that the large-scale war between humans and monsters ended.

This! This is the most famous period of Great Nirvana in the history of the world!

...

This is a world that devours the stars!

This was judged by Lu Xiao from the memory he received after traveling through time.

Whether it is the "rr virus", "the great Nirvana period", "monster", or "hong", "thunder god", "extreme martial arts hall", and "thunder and lightning martial arts hall", they are all settings that devour the starry sky.

In Lu Xiao's impression, the world view (background setting) of devouring the stars is very grand. The original work only describes a small part. At the same time, the upper limit of this world power system is also very high. The ending is only written about Luo Feng's transcendence of reincarnation and going to the Origin Continent. The higher realm is only mentioned slightly without further description.

In such a world, there will be infinite possibilities in the future!

While Lu Xiao was deeply excited, he also felt a huge sense of pressure and urgency.

Because it is now May 2056, the plot of Devouring the Starry Sky almost started at this time.

The pace of this novel is actually very fast. Lu Xiao remembers that just after the plot began, Luo Feng rose like a comet in just two or three years.

Then there are important plots such as the birth of the Golden Horned Behemoth and the arrival of the universe adventurer. They are linked together. If any of them has problems, it will be a disaster for the earth.

About ten years later, it is the time when the Virtual Universe Company holds the peak genius battle in the universe, which is also a key point that changes his destiny and he doesn't want to miss it.

In short, he must seize every time to improve his strength.

...

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao put down the book in his hand and went to the bathroom in the compartment.

This compartment is specially designed to facilitate cleaning after practicing martial arts. In addition to the shower head, there is also a large double bathtub.

Lu Xiao first filled the bathtub with water, and then took out an iron can from the cabinet next to him.

There was a green ointment in the iron can. Lu Xiao dug out a piece of it from it and soaked it into the water. Soon the water in the bathtub was dyed into a beautiful green color.

This is a medicine made of various precious herbs and monster materials, called "jasper paste".

Soaking the body with water made of jasper paste can relieve the fatigue caused by long-term martial arts practice, repair certain damage to muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and even slightly improve physical fitness.

It is said that long-term use also has a certain effect on improving skin toughness, but I don’t know how long it will take.

Of course, this is only effective for talents below warriors, and the effect is not very magical, but even so, this can costs 100,000 Chinese coins. Generally, it will disappear after soaking more than ten times. It is not cost-effective and is not affordable for ordinary people in ordinary families.

Like Luo Feng, he definitely can't afford it, but for him, it doesn't matter whether he can afford it or not. It's more effective to faint a few times of "headache" than any drug.

When taking a bath, Lu Xiao habitually sank his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, there is a "starry sky", which he has possessed since he traveled through time.

This starry sky is composed of countless light spots, most of which are very dim, with only two light spots one large and one small.

The big light spot is very dazzling. All the light spots in the entire starry sky can be seen, and only a few of them are comparable in size to it.

When Lu Xiao's consciousness touched it, he felt a wonderful connection - his connection with the world, and this world is the world where he is now devouring the starry sky.

As for the small light spot, its "small" is only equivalent to the large light spot that swallows the starry sky. In fact, in the entire sea of ​​light, its size is considered medium.

However, when Lu Xiao put his consciousness on it, he did not feel the connection that swallowed the light spot in the starry sky. He only felt a sense of solidification and stagnation. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through this obstacle and establish a connection with this light spot.

Lu Xiao was not surprised by the failure of this attempt.

In fact, since he traveled through time, he would try to contact this light spot almost every day when he was free, but without exception, they failed.

Today is just a routine attempt. He has been prepared for failure long ago, and it would be strange if he succeeded.

Lu Xiao’s guess about this is that some prerequisites should be met before he can establish a connection with it.

From the perspective of the large light spots representing the devouring starry sky, the small light spots should also represent a world. Even in his guess, the starry sky in his mind should be a microcosm of the world sea, and the light spots inside represent different worlds respectively.

And the size of the light spot may be related to the level of the world it belongs to? Lu Xiao is not sure.

However, from the current situation, only the light spot that devours the starry sky and this smaller light spot are something he can enter or more easily. As for other light spots, they may never be opened, and more conditions may be required to activate.

The result of successfully establishing a connection with the light spot should be - traveling to this world?

Lu Xiao is actually looking forward to this.

Although the world level of the small light spot may not be as high as that of the starry sky, before opening the Universe, the Earth can be considered a high martial world at most, or a little stronger than high martial arts, but it is also limited in strength.

The small light spot is in the entire sea of ​​light, and its size is medium. The world level should not be much lower. At least it should be enough in the Devouring Starry Sky and Earth, which is better than him who is working hard alone.

After thinking, half an hour passed, and the water in the bathtub had returned to its transparency. It seemed that the medicinal properties were almost absorbed.

Lu Xiao got up from the bathtub, finished packing up and looking up at the time. He saw that the pointer just pointed to the position at 11:00 as he expected.

At this time, lunch should be ready.
Chapter completed!
