In the Virtual Universe's combat space, above a vast, boundless grassland, Ender manipulated the Three-Bladed Flower to face the encirclement of several Stellar Rank Martial Artists.
Buzz!
The Three-Bladed Flower, which should have been blood-red, now had a trace of Wood Origin Law infused into it, adding a touch of green to its blood-red hue, as if it were poisoned.
Bang!
The Three-Bladed Flower spun like a bamboo dragonfly, rapidly striking a Martial Artist's battle shield, instantly breaking the Martial Artist's arm and severely injuring his body!
Pfft!
As another petal blade spun and struck the Martial Artist, the Martial Artist wearing Second-Order Force Armor was split in two!
After slaying that Martial Artist, the Three-Bladed Flower charged towards the other Martial Artists, unstoppable wherever it went, and soon all of them were slain.
"So strong!"
Ender felt unbelievable, "With the enhancement of that trace of Wood Origin Law, I can achieve combat results that are difficult to achieve even in the real world!"
In the real world, with the super Spiritual Force granted by Ender's 32-fold life gene level, he could also easily crush several Martial Artists of the same rank, but not so effortlessly.
"Too strong! I only roughly applied that trace of Wood Origin Law to the Three-Bladed Flower, yet it increased its power by several times!"
He was excited, then felt helpless, "If I had a Spirit Weapon with Wood Law secret patterns, I don't know to what extent my strength would increase, but such a level of Spirit Weapon is too difficult to obtain."
He knew that Spiritual Energy Force Weapons with Law secret patterns would have to be at least fourth-order, and with his current status and wealth, he couldn't acquire such a level of Spirit Weapon.
He called up the combat space's operation interface and increased the number of enemies to ten this time.
Whoosh!
In the sky far from him, ten Stellar Rank Eight Martial Artists appeared, each holding a Second-Order Force Weapons and a battle shield.
Ender manipulated the Three-Bladed Flower and attacked the ten Martial Artists. With the enhancement of a trace of Wood Origin Law, the Three-Bladed Flower was indestructible, and it quickly slew all ten Martial Artists.
"Haha!"
He laughed, feeling incredibly exhilarated, not just because he could crush enemies in the Virtual Universe, but more so because he was thrilled to have comprehended the Wood Origin Law!
Because comprehending Law is the standard for Geniuses in the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals!
Sometimes, without comprehending Law, one could still rely on luck and strength to make it into the top 1000 of a Universe Country and qualify for the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals, but such a level would be pure cannon fodder in the finals, not even qualified to be a supporting character for a Pinnacle Genius!
To be a supporting character, one must at least participate in one arena match. If one doesn't even participate in an arena match, they can naturally only be called cannon fodder.
"Having comprehended a trace of Law, I am qualified to step onto the stage of the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals."
Ender pondered, "I just don't know how long it will be until the Pinnacle Genius Battle. I hope there's enough time for me to improve my strength."
To further improve one's strength after comprehending Law, one must enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm, but he still didn't know how to enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm.
Buzz!
Suddenly, he received a prompt from the Virtual Universe that his body in the real world had an anomaly.
Ender returned to the real world and found that the communicator on his wrist was lit up, showing a new important message.
Opening it, he saw that the message was from the Stellar Training Camp, notifying him that a new trial mission was about to begin and he needed to board the spaceship as soon as possible.
"The new trial mission is here so soon?"
He was a little confused. This was his tenth trial mission, and it was certainly a Hunting Mission, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Bringing the Blood Edge Blade and the Heavy Defense Disk, Ender went to the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp's spaceship docking point and boarded the spaceship.
Whoosh!
Once all the students participating in this trial mission had arrived, the spaceship took off, soaring into the clouds.
A month later, Ender and the other students followed their leading instructor into a Molten Rock Empire military spaceship to suppress Star Pirates.
Inside the military spaceship, several students were conversing in low voices.
"It's another Star Pirate suppression mission. I heard that the recent Hunting Missions have mostly been Star Pirate suppressions, completely different from before when they were mostly planetary hunts."
"Yeah! Star Pirates are getting more and more rampant now, and they can't be completely suppressed no matter how much we try."
As these students said, the Stellar Training Camp currently had many Star Pirate suppression missions.
In the past, it would take several Hunting Missions to encounter a Star Pirate suppression, because at that time, Star Pirate groups were limited, and their actions and base selections were very hidden, requiring a long time to discover their lairs.
But now, Star Pirate groups are appearing in clusters, one after another, like leeks that can't be cut down completely.
Ender listened to the students' conversation and also felt that there were a bit too many Star Pirate groups now, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Star Pirate suppression missions.
A day later, the Molten Rock Empire military spaceship entered the vicinity of the Star Pirate lair. As usual, several small assault ships were dispatched, attacking in multiple routes based on the terrain of the Star Pirate lair, with a Universe Level Martial Artist stationed at each route.
While Ender and the others were attacking the Star Pirate lair, hundreds of kilometers away from it, a spaceship equipped with an E-class scanning radar was hidden inside an asteroid.
Due to the Advanced scanning radar's shielding, the Molten Rock Empire military spaceship's scanning radar did not detect this spaceship.
Inside this small spaceship, three Universe Level Martial Artists, wearing Third-Order Force Armor, were drinking beverages and watching the surveillance of the Star Pirate lair.
The grey-furred Ape-man, a Universe Level Martial Artist, spoke, "I wonder if there's anyone from the Molten Rock Empire Stellar Training Camp among those who came this time."
Another Universe Level Leopard-man immediately bet a small fortune, "I bet 100 million Gulai Coins that there are people from the Stellar Training Camp this time."
"I'll bet with you that there are no people from the Stellar Training Camp this time," said the last Universe Level Blue-skinned Shark Man.
Seeing his two companions betting, the Ape-man felt bored, "Tsk, now I just want to complete the mission and go back soon. I've been here for so long and the target still hasn't appeared."
The Leopard-man chuckled, "Heh, I think you're bored because you miss your wife."
"You've only been here for a year and you're already restless. If you had to wait ten years here, wouldn't you go crazy?" The Blue-skinned Shark Man nodded in agreement, "You need to change your impatient temper, otherwise..."
"Alright, alright!" Seeing that the Blue-skinned Shark Man was about to launch into a long speech again, the Ape-man quickly turned to the surveillance screen and said, "Let's see if the target has appeared."
Soon, the Star Pirate lair in the surveillance screen vibrated violently, and people from the Molten Rock Empire military stormed into the Star Pirate lair in several small teams.
Not long after the Molten Rock Empire's people attacked the Star Pirate lair, all the screens inside the spaceship flashed red, and an alarm sounded simultaneously.
Seeing this, the three Universe Level Martial Artists all perked up, saying in unison, "The target has appeared!"
"Have people prepare to receive us!" the Blue-skinned Shark Man commanded, "Start the spaceship and go capture the target!"
The other two nodded in response, "Yes!"
Boom!
The spaceship started, broke through the hidden asteroid, and rapidly flew towards the Star Pirate lair!
