From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

"Yes, I have," the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang said, nodding at the group.

The girl, Lisang, clearly didn’t believe him. "Then show us," she challenged.

For one of them to grasp another Law in their teens was a feat rarely seen even once in a million years for the Fire Nether Divine Beast race.

"Lisang."

At that moment, the youth in the lead, Mu Lun, spoke up. "That’s enough. Testing his strength is the captain’s job."

"Oh."

Lisang clearly listened to Mu Lun, nodding obediently at his words.

Still, she stared at Li Yang, her disbelief unchanged.

’Hmph, I’d like to see just what Law you’ve supposedly grasped.’

The main reason was that there had been a peculiar young Fire Nether Divine Beast before who claimed to have grasped several Laws, but when tested, it turned out to be nothing.

That youth’s goal had been to get the powerful experts of the clan to save his younger sister. In the end, his sister was treated, but the youth himself received a severe punishment.

"Young man, if you want to have your strength tested, I can take you."

Mu Lun said with a smile, looking at the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang. "What’s your name?"

Although he was a genius, he was humble and polite.

"Flame," the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang said, giving himself a random name.

"I’m Mu Lun," Mu Lun said with a smile.

"Mu Lun is the number one genius in our Genius Hall! His Gold Element Law is about to break through to the Longevity Realm," Lisang chimed in from the side after Mu Lun introduced himself.

Her eyes were filled with obvious admiration, and even a hint of affection.

Their cultivation realms were too low for them to see that Li Yang had already broken through to the Longevity Realm.

Hearing Lisang’s words, the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang just smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing Li Yang’s completely unsurprised expression, the girl Lisang was clearly dissatisfied, but she didn’t say anything else, merely pouting.

...

The Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang followed behind Mu Lun, and in less than a few minutes, they arrived at their destination.

Mu Lun looked toward a Fire Nether Divine Beast in the distance and called out, "Captain Jinhan."

The nearby Fire Nether Divine Beast, who was at the Divine Realm, glanced over and walked toward them. "Mu Lun, what’s going on?"

"Captain Jinhan, this young man wants to join the Genius Hall," Mu Lun said directly.

"Join the Genius Hall?" Captain Jinhan’s gaze shifted to the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang. He asked bluntly, "Do you know the rules for joining? Have you grasped any other Laws? Show me."

Hearing Jinhan’s question, the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang nodded. "I have."

He waved his right hand, and a bolt of lightning appeared.

"The Thunder Law? And you even used it to break through to the Longevity Realm!"

Sensing the fluctuations of the lightning, Jinhan’s eyes lit up, a look of excitement spreading across his face.

Each realm was a new threshold. Those with weak Talent for Laws might be stuck in the Law Realm for their entire lives.

Only those with stronger Talent for Laws could break through to the Longevity Realm, and even the Star Lord Realm and World Realm beyond that.

"Excellent!" Jinhan’s expression had been calm just a moment ago, but now his face was wreathed in smiles.

In truth, he had seen that Li Yang was at the Longevity Realm with a single glance.

However, the Fire Nether Divine Beasts were born as Deities, and every one of them possessed an extremely powerful Talent for the Fire Element Law. If they worked hard, it wasn’t uncommon for them to break through to the Longevity Realm in their teens.

Whether it took them a dozen years or just a few, it didn’t really matter to them. After all, they could all fully master the Fire Element Law within a few thousand years at most.

"What’s your name?" Jinhan asked, looking at Li Yang.

"Flame."

"Alright, Flame. Come with me. I’ll take you to see an elder to properly assess your situation and then formulate a training plan," Jinhan said quickly.

In the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, anyone who could grasp another Law would receive great attention, let alone someone like Li Yang, who looked to be in his teens yet had already cultivated the Thunder Law to the Longevity Realm.

This was an absolute, peerless genius!

"Alright," the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang nodded.

As they spoke, Mu Lun and the others were watching and had overheard their conversation.

Lisang’s jaw dropped, her face a mask of disbelief.

"Captain Jinhan, are you saying that Flame’s Thunder Law has already broken through to the Longevity Realm?" She stared at Li Yang, as if she thought she was hearing things.

Mu Lun’s Gold Element Law was currently at the Law Realm, just one step away from the Longevity Realm.

Even if Li Yang had only just begun to grasp a Law other than the Fire Element Law, his Talent would have already surpassed Mu Lun’s, making him a once-in-a-million-years genius for their race.

But now, this Flame hadn’t just grasped it—he had broken through to the Longevity Realm? What level of genius was this? The kind that appears once every few hundred million years?

"That’s right." Captain Jinhan nodded with a smile. He looked at Mu Lun and said, "Mu Lun, it looks like you’ll have to give up your title as the number one genius of the Genius Hall."

"That’s fine." Mu Lun smiled, not minding in the slightest. "The more geniuses our race has, the better."

His gaze shifted, and he asked, "Captain Jinhan, could we go watch Flame’s assessment?"

"As you wish," Captain Jinhan said with a smile.

The group headed off together.

Soon, the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang arrived inside a palace.

’He was very calm, not worried at all that the Fire Nether Divine Beast race would discover something was wrong with him.’

’Even though this body was weak, if anything went wrong, he could just kill himself. The Fire Nether Divine Beast race wouldn’t be able to do a thing to him.’

’I wonder what this assessment involves?’ Li Yang thought to himself.

He didn’t know much about the Fire Nether Divine Beast race.

Entering the palace, Li Yang and the others came to the center.

A giant stone tablet appeared before the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang. Its surface was densely covered in red, cryptic patterns.

Jinhan looked at Li Yang and said with a smile, "Flame, this is our race’s Divine Artifact, the Talent Stone Tablet. It can assess a Fire Nether Divine Beast’s soul and cultivation time."

"Assess the soul?" Li Yang was a little surprised to hear this.

"Haha, this is unique to us Fire Nether Divine Beasts. We are born with mastery of the Fire Element Law, so our souls are a bit different. Relatively speaking, the stronger our soul, the faster we can break through to the Divine Realm," Jinhan explained.

"And a strong soul also means a higher probability of grasping other Laws."

SWOOSH!

As he was speaking, a ripple suddenly flashed through the air, and a figure appeared before them.

It was Lie Xiang, the powerful Deity who had mastered three Laws, whom Li Yang’s true body had met before.

But this time, upon meeting Li Yang, Lie Xiang did not have the same warm, brilliant smile. Instead, he was very serious, maintaining the dignity of an elder.

"Elder Lie Xiang."

Seeing the newcomer, Captain Jinhan, Mu Lun, and the others all spoke respectfully.

"Mm."

Elder Lie Xiang nodded and looked at the Fire Nether Divine Beast Li Yang. "You’ve grasped the Thunder Law? And broken through to the Longevity Realm? To what extent have you mastered it? Show me."
