Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Lava Empire, Lava Emperor Star.

In a spacious and gorgeous conference room, there are more than ten figures sitting on both sides of the conference table, all of them are eighth- and ninth-level cosmic level experts!

The lights in the conference room were bright but the atmosphere was depressing. These powerful people of the eighth and ninth levels of the universe seemed to be affected, and they all fell silent.

On the main seat of the conference table, there was a tall figure covered by darkness, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Any light that came close to him was absorbed and assimilated, as if boundless darkness had always enveloped him. Only a pair of hands with their ten fingers joined and their elbows resting on the table appeared in the light.

The person sitting on the main seat is Frank, the head of the Lava Empire's training planet management department and an eighth-level Domain Lord level expert.

"Haha! The core of a planet was actually breached by a group of monsters. It really opened my eyes!"

Frank, who was in the darkness, sneered, his rich voice full of anger, "Kuka Planet! Which universe level is responsible for guarding it?

"A cosmic-level person can't even stop a few stellar-level monsters! He..."

A cosmic-level person quickly sent a message, "Teacher, the cosmic-level person responsible for guarding Kuka Planet has not yet taken up his post. He applied for a ten-year leave, and you personally approved it."

Hearing the reminder, Frank instantly remembered that the person in charge of Kuka Star had not yet taken office, and he still had two years of vacation time.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "I just remembered that the person in charge of guarding Kuka Star has not yet taken office. Let him end his vacation immediately and go to Kuka Star to take up his post."

After saying that, he said viciously: "All the mentors who survived the accident were dragged to mine! When will they have contributed enough, we will return to our hometown!"

"Most of the students in the training base are dead, and all the outstanding students among them are gone!

"But there are only four stellar-level mentors who choose to fight to the death. If it weren't for a stellar-level student who understood the field to clean up the mess, the entire Kuka Planet would have suffered heavy losses!"

Frank paused, his words filled with anger, "Just now! Territory Lord Rika was still asking me.

"What do you mean, all the students scheduled for my training camp died in the battle, and only four of your stellar instructors died.

"What is this? This is a slap in the face of our department! A slap in the face of me, the person in charge!"

Having said this, Frank's momentum surged, overwhelming the universe-level people below.

"Starting from today, we will conduct an assessment on all the instructors who cultivate planets, and carefully screen each planet for me!

"Anyone who fails the assessment will be deprived of their status as a mentor. If they are found to have violated regulations and corruption, they will be directly sent to mine! It just so happens that the Ministry of Resources is complaining about the lack of miners.

"If something like this happens again, let alone the cosmic governor who guards the planet, even you area managers will go mining together!"

Finally, Frank shouted, "Do you hear that clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

The universe-level people below nodded.

Seeing that everyone under his command nodded, Frank didn't want to say any more, so he gave the order.

"The meeting is over!"

After saying that, Frank left the meeting room first. He had to apologize to his old friend.

After the department boss left, the universe-level people breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss in the conference room.

In the eyes of these cosmic powerhouses, the matter of Kuka Star is not a particularly big deal.

It's just that some planets have died. The Lava Empire really has no shortage of these planets.

It's a pity that the little guy who understood the realm was able to enter the stellar training camp, but he died on Kuka Star due to the cowardice of the training base instructor.

What's more, the real trouble is that among these dead little guys, there is a kid from a big family with a good background. It is said that he is the descendant of a good friend of their minister.

The children of this family went to Kuka Star just for a formality, to get gold-plated so as to enter a higher-level stellar training camp. They never expected to die there.

In their view, the descendant of their friend died on Kuka Planet, and the sarcastic words of the Lika Territory Lord, who had never been easy to deal with, made the minister angry. But this is good, they can just take the opportunity to rectify and cultivate the planet, and at the same time find something to do for the governors of the cultivated planet!

After the discussion, the universe-level people began to leave the conference room one after another, and soon the door of the conference room was closed.

…

Time passed, and it had been three days since Li Qi arrived in Chaoguang City.

The admission assessment of Chaoguang College is held once every three months, and there are only ten days until the next assessment.

Due to his previous life experience, he quickly adapted to life in Chaoguang City and became proficient in using various equipment.

At this time, Li Qi was lying on the bed with a consciousness sensor on his head. His consciousness had entered the trial tower of Chaoguang Academy in the virtual universe.

The boundless grassland, the sea of ​​​​emerald green grass, the breeze blows, setting off a wave of emerald green "waves"

Li Qi was flying in the air on a shield, with sixteen bone awls surrounding him, and nine carnivorous birds were circling in the sky in the distance.

There was a light curtain in front of him, and it said in the universal language, "The assessment will start in ten seconds. Please kill the ninth-level corpse-eating bird of the nine-headed apprentice within ten seconds."

The light curtain disappears.

Chirp——!

The corpse-eating birds circling in the sky seemed to have discovered prey and flew towards Li Qi one after another.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Sixteen bone awls pierced the air and shot towards the flying carrion bird.

The bone awl hits the carrion bird, and as long as it doesn't hit the vital part, it can only knock them upside down.

Soon, Li Qi was surrounded by these nine corpse-eating birds, and they killed them in just over twenty seconds.

Uh-huh!

In a single room with only one sofa, Li Qi sat on the sofa and recalled the previous battle.

"On the second day of learning "Basic Body Skills", I killed five corpse-eating birds on the third floor of the Trial Tower, four more than before learning "Basic Body Skills", which is a significant improvement."

He frowned slightly, "I still haven't adapted to the battle without super mental power and planetary bone cones. The impact of these two on me is too deep and difficult to eliminate in a short time.

"Sometimes I can't help but think that I can kill the corpse-eating bird with a single bone cone, but in fact, the normal apprentice's ninth-level mental power and bone cones are difficult to cause fatal injuries to monsters of the same level. Sometimes it takes ten or twenty attacks to kill a corpse-eating bird."

"If I choose to fight guerrilla warfare, I can kill nine corpse-eating birds in ten minutes, but it's meaningless!"

Li Qi knows where his weaknesses are. He can't adapt to the battles in the virtual universe, and his body skills are too weak because he is used to crushing battles.

So he has been fighting monsters head-on in the Trial Tower to train his body and adapt himself to the battles in the virtual universe.

"With the same level of body and weapons, fighting with skills, experience, consciousness and law perception alone, this is the special thing about fighting in the virtual universe.

"I must adapt. If I don't adapt, I'm afraid I can't even enter Chaoguang Academy!"

"Go try the Trial Tower of the Warrior Road and see how many levels I can get through this time."

Li Qi slapped the sofa, disappeared from the room, and entered the Trial Tower again.

A few minutes later, with a "swish", he returned to the room and shook his head helplessly.
