Chapter Sixty-Six: Stellar Level

"First, let's handle the bank account binding," Luo Yuan said. "That way, your purchases can be directly deducted from your bank account."

"Understood. Where do we go to bind it?" Luo Feng asked.

"Follow me."

Led by Luo Yuan, Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng went to the counter to bind their accounts.

At the end of the hall, several corridors stretched out.

"Each corridor leads directly to a personal slaughter space," Luo Yuan explained. "You can freely select the type of opponent you wish to face."

"I won't accompany you inside this time," Luo Yuan said with a smile.

The three nodded in agreement.

During their conversation, Luo Yuan noticed many people heading into the corridors—among them were numerous cosmic mercenaries, and he even spotted a 'Two-Star Cosmic Mercenary.' On Black Dragon Mountain Island, such experts were rare, but here in the slaughter arena, they seemed commonplace.

Suddenly, Luo Yuan sensed a gaze fixed upon him, making him involuntarily shudder. Someone of extraordinary power was watching him. He cautiously looked around and discovered it was an old man.

The elder had green skin, his face creased with wrinkles, and sat in a chair squinting at Luo Yuan. None of the others resting in the hall dared disturb him. By Earth standards, the old man's appearance was unpleasant, yet a peculiar sense of tranquility emanated from him.

The green-skinned elder, noticing Luo Yuan's gaze, grinned broadly. Luo Yuan smiled back awkwardly.

Seated on the sofa, Luo Yuan ordered a fruit juice and glanced at his attribute panel, which brimmed with skills. He couldn't help but sigh at the abundance of talent within the Qian Wu Dojo; unfortunately, ordinary planetary-level students rarely comprehended domains or laws. This spoke to the high aptitude of Hong and Thor.

Upon advancing to the star level, Luo Yuan's system notified him that he could now pick up attributes in the virtual space—but only those dropped by real users. Sadly, regardless of who logged in, their virtual bodies were limited to primary warrior strength, shattering Luo Yuan's dream of amassing attributes with his spiritual power. However, in special virtual spaces, it was possible; in the battle space, he could only collect attributes dropped by opponents. Yet, at the planetary level, Luo Yuan had never encountered a rival stronger than himself.

He decided that upon returning, he would go to the star-level elite training ground at Qian Wu Dojo to gather attributes. The talents there should be even more exceptional; perhaps there were those who had already grasped domains and laws. Opponents in the slaughter arena at the star level were likely to possess such insights as well.

For Luo Yuan, the slaughter arena was a place to practice his myriad abilities and accumulate experience—especially those inherited from Mo Yuxing, such as the spiritual skill 'Tower of the Void.' Luo Yuan had already constructed the foundation of the tower in his sea of consciousness, greatly enhancing his soul's defense.

The 'Ten Thousand Stream' secret technique from the spiritual master flight method had also reached its first stage: Single Stream. Next would be 'Nine Stream,' 'Hundred Stream,' 'Ten Thousand Stream,' and the legendary ultimate stage: 'Teleportation.'

He had fully mastered the first volume of 'Soul Seal,' and the 'Ten Thousand Sword Soul Seal' from the second volume had reached one thousand swords. Once he completed it, he would qualify to condense the 'Slave Soul Seal'...

Bored, Luo Yuan played virtual games for a while. These games simulated reality perfectly—a paradise for daydreamers. He experienced what it was like to be Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, even commanding several grand national wars, the scenes vast and magnificent. He could scarcely distinguish reality from the virtual world until Luo Feng and the others emerged from the slaughter arena, prompting him to log out.

"Luo Feng, once you three log off, have Meng One and Meng Two log in. I need to see them," Luo Yuan said. Meng One and Meng Two were the strongest of his purchased star-level slaves—one a top spiritual master, the other the strongest genetic warrior.

"Sure. I noticed your slaves have spent the past year scouring Earth for a black egg, even slaughtering countless beasts. Those king- and emperor-level monsters have been wiped out!"

Luo Feng inquired curiously, and Hong and Thor also looked for answers. Any one of Luo Yuan's slaves could annihilate Earth, and since they began acting so brazenly, Earth's factions had lived in constant terror, behaving meekly as if subjugated.

"It's nothing. I ordered it. That black egg is actually a Golden Horned Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of star beasts—a highly dangerous entity. I plan to capture it and educate it properly," Luo Yuan replied calmly, though in truth, he had no idea how to deal with the Golden Horned Beast.

"The Golden Horned Beast? There's one on Earth? Luo Yuan, Luo Feng, if you get the chance, seize its body! With that flesh, even becoming a world lord is only a matter of time! Besides... I've always heard that star beasts possess inherited memories, and the higher their bloodline, the more vast and profound their legacy," Babata exclaimed, eyes wide and blood-red, waving his tiny trident in excitement.

"Babata, the Golden Horned Beast is of little use to me. If you find it, Luo Feng, it's yours if you're interested," Luo Yuan said indifferently.

"Eh, I'd rather remain human," Luo Feng replied, clearly unwilling.

"Hmph, foolish Earthlings! In the universe, bloodlines reign supreme—the peak star beasts are the noblest of all. Their inherited memories span generations, even tracing back to the dawn of the cosmos. With the body of a Golden Horned Beast, why cling to human form?" Babata lamented, frustrated.

Luo Yuan and Luo Feng merely smiled, saying nothing. An intelligent being like Babata could never understand the human experience.

"By the way, third brother, how did you know the Golden Horned Beast was on Earth?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

"That's a secret," Luo Yuan replied mysteriously, leaving the three with confused expressions.

"Enough about that. I'm planning to collect a huge sum on Biyan Star in a year, then buy Earth and become its lord. That way, even if other powers discover Earth, they won't dare touch it," Luo Yuan suddenly remembered.

"Is that possible?" Hong asked.

"Trust me," Luo Yuan replied. The three exchanged glances and nodded.

The four returned to the ancient palace. Luo Feng and the others logged off, and soon after, Meng One and Meng Two logged in.

"Greetings, Master," they said, quickly kneeling before Luo Yuan.

"Rise. How are things going with the task I assigned you?" Luo Yuan asked, sipping his tea from a stone chair.
