Virtual Universe, Tongtian Bridge Plane.
Swish!
A flash of white light, and Ender appeared in the Central Square.
Guardian Bevin's expression shifted slightly. After Ender arrived beside him, he asked, "Ender, are you here to challenge the Tongtian Bridge?"
Ender nodded, "Yes."
"It's been almost ten years since you last challenged the Tongtian Bridge. I wonder how many levels you can pass this time." Hearing this, Guardian Bevin smiled, then said, "Someone just entered the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge to challenge it, so you'll need to wait a moment."
"Mm." Ender nodded slightly, waiting quietly for the person inside the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge to come out.
Not long after, a white light flashed, and a person appeared in the Central Square, then quickly disappeared.
Seeing this person appear, Guardian Bevin said, "Ender, the person inside the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge has already come out. You can go in now."
Hearing this, Ender nodded, then flew towards the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge!
"There are quite a few important figures paying attention to Ender. Once he challenges the Tongtian Bridge, an email notification will need to be sent to them."
Because Ender was the second place in this session's Pinnacle Genius Battle, and the only one who could give Kedi a slight sense of urgency, coupled with the widespread news that he was taken as a Disciple by a Universe Venerable, many top-tier Immortal, and even some Universe Venerables, paid him some attention.
According to tradition, Guardian Bevin needed to send an email to notify them.
"Mm." Guardian Bevin muttered, "I'll also send an email to those youngsters of his same generation, telling them that Ender is challenging the Tongtian Bridge."
"These youngsters of this session, none of them are very active in challenging the Tongtian Bridge. They always wait a long time after passing a level before coming again."
…
Primal Chaos City, in a residence.
"Ender is finally challenging the Tongtian Bridge! I thought he would wait until the thirty years were over to challenge it!"
Manle, who had just finished Cultivating, saw the email from Guardian Bevin and laughed, "It just so happens that I'm also going to challenge the Tongtian Bridge. It's good to go and watch."
Since Manle passed the first level of the Tongtian Bridge, he had been diligently Cultivating. Now, he felt he could pass the second level of the Tongtian Bridge.
However, he really wanted to know, after nearly ten years of silence, which level Ender would reach this time when challenging the Tongtian Bridge—the fifth level or the sixth level?
…
Primal Chaos City, in another residence.
Chen Yi looked at the email in front of him and thought, "This Ender was able to pass the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge ten years ago. Now that ten years have passed, he should be able to pass the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Even the sixth level isn't impossible."
Although he didn't think Ender would pass the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, Ender's Law comprehension speed was too fast when he first entered Primal Chaos City, so he couldn't be sure that he wouldn't pass the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
"I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go watch." Chen Yi said, entering the Virtual Universe.
…
Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain, in a manor in the Absolute Beginning Realm.
The Fox Clan woman, Fei, was in her study watching a secret technique book. After receiving Guardian Bevin's email, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"Ender is challenging the Tongtian Bridge."
With a "snap," Fei closed the thick cover of the secret technique book and muttered, "None of us in this generation are very active in challenging the Tongtian Bridge, especially the top two, Kedi and him; neither of them has challenged the Tongtian Bridge for nearly ten years."
"Let's go watch." Fei said, "Although I no longer aim to surpass him, I still want to see which level of the Tongtian Bridge he can reach now."
As her voice fell, her figure turned into a white light and disappeared from the manor's study.
…
Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm, Training Ground of Manor No. 114.
Swish, swish, swish…
In the Training Ground, hundreds and thousands of Kedi's figures were besieging a man whose body was enveloped in a terrifying aura.
The man strolled with his hands behind his back, moving effortlessly amidst the siege of thousands of Kedi's figures, as if taking a leisurely walk in a living room.
Suddenly, the man flashed, grabbed with one hand, and directly caught Kedi's true body.
Bang!
Like a bursting bubble, the moment Kedi's true body was caught, all the illusory or real figures shattered and dispersed.
The man gently put Kedi down and said, "This isn't the Pinnacle Genius Battle preliminaries or the Trial Tower challenge. Having many afterimages and illusory bodies won't increase your combat power much."
"Although you've tried hard to reduce the creation of illusory bodies and afterimages, there are still too many!" The man said, "Facing a single enemy, your movement technique should be fast and real!"
"The speed must be fast, especially when facing enemies among Spiritual Masters. A faster speed by one point can increase your chances of winning by one point."
"Additionally, reduce those flashy illusory bodies and afterimages. To confuse the enemy, only a few real afterimages are needed, and the more real, the better."
Kedi listened, pondering carefully.
After the man finished speaking, he waited a moment before asking, "Do you have any other questions?"
"No." The blue-haired Kedi respectfully said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance."
"Mm." The man nodded slightly and said, "Work hard. Strive to leave that little guy named Ender far behind. You should know that many powerful beings believe he won't be much worse than you in the future."
Kedi frowned slightly upon hearing this, then firmly said, "I will leave him far behind, so he can't catch up to me!"
The man nodded in satisfaction, "I'll come back to guide you in ten years."
"Farewell, Senior Brother." Amidst Kedi's respectful farewell, the man turned into a white light and departed.
After the man left, he muttered to himself, "Ender, are you really that special? Can you be favored by so many powerful beings?"
…
Virtual Universe, Tongtian Bridge.
The first three levels of the Tongtian Bridge were shrouded in mist.
The fourth and fifth levels were filled with howling winds, already at extremely high altitudes.
The Tongtian Bridge on the fifth level was too high above the sea below; the naked eye could only see the dark strong winds of the fourth level below, and couldn't see the sea at all.
"Fifth level."
Ender stood on the bridge, looking at the tornado in front of him.
The constantly rotating tornado made a sound: "Choose Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat your opponent in one of these to enter the sixth level."
He was dressed in black battle attire, with a pair of metallic black battle gloves on his hands. The black battle gloves had sharp edges at the joints and slightly curved, sharp barbs at the fingertips. In addition, he had black double arm shields on his forearms, each with a diameter of only about twenty centimeters.
"Warrior!" Ender said.
From the tornado, a lean man in silver battle attire, silver battle boots, and a silver mask quickly flew out. He also had a pair of Fifth-Order Original Force claw-type weapons, Devil Shadow Claw, on his hands.
He also had two arm shields on his forearms, but their color had changed to silver. At a glance, it was clear that he and Ender were both Warriors of the same type.
…
Tongtian Bridge Plane, Central Square.
Looking at Ender on the giant light screen who wasn't carrying a Spirit Weapon, the onlookers exchanged glances, utterly surprised!
"What's going on? Isn't Ender a Spiritual Master Controller?"
"Yeah! Why would he choose a Warrior as an opponent?"
"Not only that, he didn't even bring Green Vine Pillar."
"Did he switch to Cultivating as a Warrior, and he's even using a relatively niche claw-type weapon?"
"No way! He couldn't have really switched to Cultivating as a Warrior, could he?!"
The young people discussed, somewhat unable to understand what Ender was doing.
"What's going on with Ender?" Fei looked at Ender in the giant light screen, puzzled. "Did he switch to Cultivating as a Warrior, and he's even Cultivating during the precious time in Primal Chaos City?"
"Good heavens, this Ender really has personality!" Manle looked at Ender, who had claw weapons on his hands, and exclaimed in his heart, "He's already reached the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge by following the Controller path among Spiritual Masters, and now he's silently switched to Cultivating as a Warrior."
"And he even dares to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, so he must have some confidence." He speculated in his heart, "Could it be that he was a Warrior before and has been hiding his strength all along?"
…
At this moment, Ender, on the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge, was unaware of the discussions outside. He simply confronted the silver-clad man.
The silver-clad man coldly said, "Battle begins!"
Whoosh!
As his voice fell, the silver-clad man flashed, transforming into several afterimages that attacked from various directions, assailing Ender.
Whoosh!
Ender moved simultaneously, his figure flickering, making several turns in the air, like a black lightning bolt!
Clang, clang, clang!
Crisp metallic collision sounds rang out, black and silver figures flickered, battling fiercely across the wide Tongtian Bridge. Streaks of black or silver claw shadows appeared and disappeared!
"Such fast movement technique! Such fierce and varied claw techniques!"
After only a moment of exchange, the silver-clad man was already at a disadvantage again, filled with amazement in his heart. However, he did not give up, "It won't be that easy to defeat me!"
The Space Law secret patterns on the Fifth-Order Spirit Weapon, Devil Shadow Claw, in the silver-clad man's hand glowed slightly, and Space Law fluctuations appeared, clearly indicating that he was using a claw-type secret technique!
Clang, clang, clang!
In the collision between the black specter and the silver lightning, metallic clangs resounded continuously, and the claw shadows became even more numerous and dense than before!
Compared to before, the silver-clad man's claw shadows were slightly larger, and the power contained in his claws was also slightly stronger, temporarily regaining some ground, being only slightly weaker than Ender.
"Oh? He's using a secret technique now." Seeing the silver-clad man regain some ground, Ender, in the midst of battle, thought, "Since that's the case, I won't hold back either."
Devil Shadow Claw!
Ender used the matching secret technique for the Fifth-Order claw-type Force Weapons, Devil Shadow Claw!
Swish, swish, swish!
As he used the secret technique "Devil Shadow Claw," the claw shadows, which were previously much smaller than the silver-clad man's, instantly doubled in size!
Giant claw shadows appeared on the silver-clad man's body, instantly pressing him so hard that he could only barely resist and defend, with no room to counterattack.
"What?!" The silver-clad man was startled, "His attack secret technique is average, but how can his Law comprehension be so high?!"
After struggling to resist for a moment, facing the fierce and varied offensive, he was caught off guard and failed to block an attack, sustaining an injury.
Seeing the silver-clad man injured, Ender pressed his advantage, his offensive becoming even faster and fiercer, like a storm!
After continuously breaking through the silver-clad man's defenses and leaving several wounds on his body, Ender seized his opponent's weakness!
Suddenly, his figure flickered, moving like a specter to the silver-clad man's side. His left hand grabbed his arm, while his right hand wrapped around his arm from below, and before his other hand could defend, he directly crushed his neck!
Puff!
The silver-clad man's neck was crushed, his head flew up, and blood splattered!
Then, his figure transformed into a breeze and returned into the tornado at the end of the Tongtian Bridge's fifth level.
The next moment, the tornado dissipated, revealing the bridge surface of the Tongtian Bridge's sixth level.
Thus, Ender's first public battle after switching to Cultivating as a Warrior successfully passed the fifth level of the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge!
…
Tongtian Bridge Plane, Central Square.
"This! This…!"
"Space Law! It's Space Origin Law, no mistake!"
"Ender actually defeated the challenger using the Warrior, and he even used Space Law!"
"This is impossible! How did he do it?!"
"It's too incredible! He only took ten years to go from initially comprehending Space Origin Law to being able to pass the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge now. His talent in Space Origin Law is too strong!"
Seeing Ender in the light screen, defeating the silver-clad guardian using the Warrior and passing the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge, everyone's eyes widened, even the exquisite Fox Clan woman, Fei, which could be said to be a great loss of image!
"Freak! He's truly a freak!"
"He spent ten years switching to Cultivating as a Warrior, and also raised his comprehension of Space Origin Law to the level of passing the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge." Manle's face showed a shocked expression, and he thought, "This Ender, like Kedi, is a freak!"
He originally thought that his comprehension of Space Law and his confidence in passing the second level of the Tongtian Bridge after ten years in Primal Chaos City was already very impressive, but now it seemed he was still far behind.
Compared to a freak, the gap for him, a normal person, was too great!
"Teacher! Your decision to have me give up chasing him was correct."
On the other side, the Fox Clan woman, Fei, felt bitter in her heart. Ender's performance in challenging the Tongtian Bridge made her realize how correct her choice back then was!
Such monstrous talent was beyond her comparison, and the monstrous aspect of his talent was not only the astonishing speed of his Law comprehension progress but also his extraordinary learning ability!
"Perhaps, in the long term, he will always be mentioned alongside Kedi." Fei thought, "Being in the same generation of the Pinnacle Genius Battle as the two of them is our fortune; people will often mention our session."
"But, this is also our misfortune, because when our generation is mentioned, people will mostly discuss the twin prodigies' rivalry between Kedi and Ender!"
"Truly incredible!"
"He had always followed the Controller path among Spiritual Masters before, and he even used Soul attacks in the Pinnacle Genius Battle."
Even the knowledgeable Guardian Bevin, seeing the Tongtian Bridge challenge footage of Ender in the light screen, secretly marveled, "But now, he has switched to Cultivating as a Warrior, and the Space Origin Law, which he only initially comprehended ten years ago when he first entered Primal Chaos City, can now be used to pass the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge. This progress speed is too fast!"
Generally speaking, just switching from a Spiritual Master to a Warrior would take a lot of time, because many aspects of the two are different.
Besides combat style, there are also important weapon secret technique usage and amplification!
A Warrior's amplification is force amplification, while a Spiritual Master's is Spiritual Energy amplification. Although both are amplifications, they are completely unrelated!
Because these two, one is physical amplification, and one is Soul amplification, they are naturally unrelated.
But Ender, in ten years, not only switched to Cultivating as a Warrior but also raised his comprehension of the Space Origin Law, which he had comprehended upon entering Primal Chaos City, to the point where he could now pass the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge. How could this not shock him!
"It seems I still need to send another email." Guardian Bevin thought, "His progress is too astonishing; I need to notify the important figures who are paying attention to him."
Thinking this, he sent another email, including Ender's astonishing progress…
