Swallowed Star: Copy God

Yu Qing stood in mid-air, maintaining a distance from Lie Rong that was neither too close nor too far, her gaze fixed directly on Lie Rong.

What made Lie Rong feel strange was that in Yu Qing's eyes at this moment, besides the previous indifference, there was also a hint of gratitude.

Just as Lie Rong was bracing himself, Yu Qing disappeared from the spot once again.

Lie Rong was very clear that Yu Qing's disappearance at this moment was still the same method as before, obviously bringing the effect of the Space Origin Law to its extreme.

With Lie Rong's current attainments in the Space Origin Law, he was definitely no match for Yu Qing.

So, Lie Rong knew that Yu Qing had not disappeared, but rather, under the cover of the Space Origin Law, he simply couldn't sense Yu Qing's location.

Under such circumstances, the situation returned to the previous scene, that is, Yu Qing occupied the absolute initiative, while Lie Rong could only be in a passive defensive position.

In this way, the equal situation that Lie Rong had painstakingly created was undoubtedly turned to ashes, and could no longer be maintained.

Although he knew that with Yu Qing's strength, it was not too difficult to form the current situation.

But under Lie Rong's previous calculations, there was already hope of victory, and now that hope was shattered, Lie Rong couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, with Lie Rong's state of mind, this discomfort only lasted for a moment and did not affect Lie Rong's mentality.

For Lie Rong, being able to fight against an opponent like Yu Qing was also a very honorable and enjoyable thing.

As for the final result, although Lie Rong also wanted to win very much, under the disparity of hard power, there was nothing to say.

But now, after the previous encounter, sure enough, Yu Qing would no longer give Lie Rong a chance to turn the tables.

Lie Rong's illusion stream attack was indeed considered bizarre and impossible to defend against, at least for the current Yu Qing, there was no great way to deal with it.

But Yu Qing was not a fool, she knew her own advantages, so in the case that she herself did not show up, she would not give Lie Rong any chance to use his means.

After all, under the cover of the Space Origin Law, Yu Qing did not even show up in front of Lie Rong, and without a target, Lie Rong was simply unable to counterattack.

Even with Lie Rong's powerful and stable mentality, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.

When the opponent used the attainments of the higher-level Origin Law to crush him in a real sense, Lie Rong only felt that all his learning was useless.

It was precisely under such suppression that, although Lie Rong did not give up resisting, there was still no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

Lie Rong couldn't help but think of his current shortcomings, that is, his understanding of the higher-level Origin Law had not yet reached a qualified level.

Such shortcomings are naturally nothing compared to ordinary World Lords, but compared to the top World Lord experts, Lie Rong has no hope of winning at all.

And Lie Rong himself is a very motivated person, and now that he knows his shortcomings, how can he not have any ideas to make up for them?

However, Lie Rong himself knew his situation, and also had a deep understanding of his current stage of cultivation.

After all, the time Lie Rong has been cultivating is not very long, and even among the many World Lord powerhouses participating in this competition, it is considered relatively short.

Being able to master the Fire Origin Law to such a profound level in such a short period of time, and develop a complete set of special secret methods suitable for his own fighting style based on this.

Such achievements are already very extraordinary.

What's more, Lie Rong has also come into contact with the cultivation of Illusion Stream warriors, and has gained some understanding of it, which can be regarded as expanding the upper limit and width of his future path.

Being able to do so many things in just over a thousand years, Lie Rong is naturally worthy of the name of genius.

Even if the initial talent is not considered, Lie Rong is not inferior to Yu Qing at all.

Therefore, although Lie Rong felt a trace of frustration in Yu Qing's hands, he did not mean to belittle himself in any way.

Lie Rong only wanted to hurry back to cultivate, make up for what he lacked, and further broaden his upper limit.

In Lie Rong's previous cultivation plan, he had already planned to stay in the World Lord stage for a longer period of time.

During this period of time, Lie Rong would basically devote all his energy to the understanding of the Space Origin Law, in order to make up for his shortcomings and perfectly integrate the Space Origin Law into his secret methods.

If he could do this, Lie Rong's combat power would be greatly improved, and he would also have greater convenience in subsequent cultivation.

Lie Rong's thoughts were spinning in his mind, as if he had forgotten that he was in battle at this moment.

This can't be blamed on Lie Rong's distraction, it's just that for Lie Rong at this moment, apart from thinking, other aspects can't have too much movement.

However, Lie Rong's thinking did not last long, and Yu Qing did not intend to delay and torture Lie Rong, and under the condition that the Spacetime Slowdown was maintained, she directly erupted on Lie Rong with remote means.

Before long, a faint golden film appeared on Lie Rong's body, like a balloon, completely enveloping Lie Rong in it.

This was because Yu Qing's attack intensity triggered the protection mechanism of the domain-type treasure they were in.

The condition for triggering this protection mechanism is that one or both sides of the battle are on the verge of life and death.

In other words, under Yuqing's powerful continuous attacks, Lie Rong had almost no ability to resist and was deprived of his 'life' by Yuqing.

Knowing the news of her victory, Yuqing's figure slowly emerged from mid-air, and her temperament had undergone great changes compared to what Ye Yun and the others had seen before.

When Ye Yun and the others first arrived, Yuqing appeared to be a weak woman, always with a smile on her face, giving people a warm feeling.

But Ye Yun was very clear that with Yuqing's proud nature, although she had always been smiling before, she didn't have much affinity.

It can also be said that there were not many things in this world that could stir Yuqing's thoughts, which allowed her to maintain such a strange state.

Only after experiencing this battle with Lie Rong did Yuqing's mentality change, naturally driving the sublimation of her own temperament.

Now, although Yuqing still has a faint smile on her face, her temperament is even more aloof, and she has a great resemblance to the Lord of Yumeng in Ye Yun's impression.

The Lord of Yumeng was also from the Yuling Clan, and her greatest characteristic was her petite body, but the aura and presence she exuded were exceptionally powerful, even stronger than Zhou Niu Venerable, the Minotaur.

Now, after experiencing Lie Rong's baptism, Yuqing has obviously embarked on a path similar to that of the Lord of Yumeng.

This made Ye Yun feel a burst of strangeness, wondering whether such a change was good or bad.

But no matter what, at least for Yuqing, the changes brought about by this battle were still very meaningful.

At least it allowed Yuqing to break free from her previous self-centered mentality, to be able to more clearly recognize her own strength and the real situation, so as to formulate a more suitable improvement plan for herself.

The battle officially ended, and the light golden film that enveloped Lie Rong gradually dissipated. Lie Rong floated in mid-air, nodded slightly towards Yuqing, and then said,

"Lie Rong has learned a lot from this battle!"

Lie Rong's aura was already at an extremely sluggish point due to Yuqing's previous bombardment.

However, although his aura was weak, Lie Rong's heart was still strong. His voice was not loud, but it was full of confidence in himself.

Obviously, this defeat did not bring any impact to Lie Rong. Instead, it ignited the infinite passion for struggle in Lie Rong's heart.

Therefore, Lie Rong's words to Yuqing at this moment were also full of gratitude and admiration, without any sense of frustration from defeat.

For Lie Rong, he had not come to the Human Alliance's Strongest Tournament with the intention of winning any ranking.

He knew that his cultivation time was still short. He was considered good in his training base, but he was still far behind the long-time students in other training bases.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, everyone has the same cultivation environment, and the resources and cultivation efforts they receive are almost the same.

Unless there is something particularly monstrous about you, why should people with longer cultivation time be inferior to you?

Because he had long had such an idea, Lie Rong had never had any overly extravagant expectations for this Strongest Tournament.

Instead, he wanted to take every battle seriously, hoping that every battle would bring him new insights and feelings, allowing him to have in-depth thinking, so as to have more possibilities for improvement.

Obviously, although Lie Rong roughly guessed that Yuqing was not a talent from the Human Alliance training base based on Yuqing's fighting style and previous performance.

But no matter what Yuqing's background was, at least the pressure Yuqing brought to Lie Rong, as well as that clear gap, could not be faked.

Under such circumstances, Yuqing's powerful stimulation still allowed Lie Rong to gain a lot.

Since this is the case, then what does it matter what Yuqing's background is?

However, to say there was no regret, Lie Rong also had some in his heart.

This time, Lie Rong entered the official competition's 100,000-person quota from the previous layers of selection.

But before he had experienced a few battles, Lie Rong encountered such a change as Yuqing, and the opportunity to fight was still a bit too small.

Lie Rong originally thought that with his strength, he would encounter a powerful enemy that he could not resist in the later stages when entering the top 1,000, or even the top 500 or 100, and thus be defeated.

But he didn't expect that in such an early battle, he would encounter such a special and powerful opponent as Yuqing, directly putting an end to his journey in this Strongest Tournament.

This is actually something that can't be helped. After all, when the Strongest Tournament enters the official competition of the top 100, it adopts a battle plan selected based on the combat power calculated by the virtual universe.

That is to say, under the calculation of the virtual universe, it will consciously separate those players with extremely strong combat power, so as to avoid the situation of strong players being eliminated early.

After all, this Strongest Tournament adopts a one-game-decides-win-or-lose mode. In a one-on-one battle, the winner enters the next round. The rules are very simple and easy.

Although going further requires one's own hard strength to be the most important.

But encountering a powerful opponent early is still somewhat inconsistent with the purpose of this Strongest Tournament, so the virtual universe has a special matching mechanism to avoid this.

It's just that Lie Rong has always hidden a lot of his strength in the virtual universe's simulated battles.

At least his cultivation of the illusion stream and some of his own secret techniques have not been used in the virtual universe.

This has led to a significant deviation in the virtual universe's judgment of Lie Rong, failing to calculate Lie Rong's true combat power.

And Yuqing's situation is even more special. Under the guidance of the Lord of Yumeng, she spends even less time logging into the virtual universe.

In most cases, Yuqing is comprehending the two major superior source laws, and her own secret technique creation is still in an enlightened state.

Because of this, Yuqing and Lie Rong, such powerful players, encountered each other so early by mistake.

But even if he knew this, Lie Rong would not change his past style.

For a person like him, this failure is nothing at all. Instead, the already formed thinking and the prototype of the future path are more important.

Yuqing looked at Lie Rong in front of her, the sluggish aura could not stop the faintly surging momentum in his heart, and she could not help but be infected by Lie Rong's mentality.

'This is the mental outlook of the students in the major training bases of the Human Alliance. The teacher really didn't lie to me.'
