Chapter 82: Ten Years
"No need to be so polite. From today on, I will be your instructor."

King Longyu's voice was clear and pleasant: "If you have any questions about the practice of the Frozen Chaos Monument in the future, you can ask me."

Having said that, King Longyu walked directly into Shen Mu's manor, while Shen Mu and Yu Lun followed behind him.

……

A training ground covered by a transparent dome.

King Longyu looked at Shen Mu and said, "Use all your current understanding of the laws. Let me see how well you understand the combination of the laws of water and space."

"is teacher."

After Shen Mu agreed, he simulated the entire training ground into a vast starry sky, and at the same time a silver spear appeared in his palm!
boom!
The silver spear swept across, and a spiral of extremely cold air burst out. Shen Mu's entire figure flashed like a ghost.

Shen Mu used the extreme cold spear technique from the "Bi Tao Secret Book". Although this spear technique was not the strongest one Shen Mu had ever come into contact with, it was the one that best suited the Frozen Chaos Monument.

shhhhhh!
Spears of light burst out one after another, and the fluctuations of the two laws of water and space were in perfect harmony at this moment, as if they were one. The space around the spears seemed to have turned into a whole surface of water, rippling with circles of ripples.

A look of surprise emerged on King Longyu's beautiful face. Now that he could sense it up close, King Longyu could clearly realize that Shen Mu had truly mastered the path of combining laws.

A moment later, after practicing the extreme cold spear technique, Shen Mu turned into a stream of light and landed beside King Longyu.

"Please correct me, teacher." Shen Mu bowed slightly.

"You are right about the combination of water and space. You have truly realized the essence of the first picture of the Frozen Chaos Monument. However, your understanding is still too superficial and not thorough enough."

Two long swords flew out from behind King Longyu and landed in her palms.

"Calm your mind and feel it carefully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in King Longyu's palm drew beautiful arcs of light in the void. The fluctuations of the two major laws of water and space were perfectly restrained in the sword light, interweaving into a dazzling light field.

Soon, King Longyu sheathed his two-handed sword, looked at Shen Mu and said, "Did you notice the difference?"

Shen Mu nodded quickly, and then asked: "Teacher, was that the law of water-air fusion that you just performed?"

King Longyu smiled and shook his head slightly, saying, "No, it's just a simple combination of two laws. You have only just grasped the basics, and there is still a lot you don't understand."

"In addition, there is one more thing you should pay attention to. Since you have chosen the Frozen Chaos Monument, you must have extremely high attainments in martial arts. You can't just limit yourself to spearmanship. You must also master swords, spears, halberds, and even fists and feet."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will keep it in mind."

From that day on, Shen Mu, under the guidance of King Longyu, delved into the mystery of the Frozen Chaos Monument.

Usually, he also practices sword skills, knife skills and other close combat methods under the guidance of King Longyu.

Although Shen Mu and King Longyu were only student and teacher, King Longyu taught Shen Mu everything he knew, even the "Hanlin Sword Classic" that he created.

……

Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

During these ten years, Shen Mu has been practicing in seclusion.

Regarding the comprehension of the laws, he asked the teacher of Qianwu Kingdom for guidance; regarding the combination of the laws and close combat techniques, he followed the instruction of King Longyu.

The progress every day may not be great, but it is progress, and there are almost no bottlenecks. This terrifying speed of progress surprised King Qianwu and King Longyu.

Except for Shen Mu, everyone in this genius competition has made great progress in the past ten years.

Not counting those who have fallen, all the geniuses passed the first level of the Tongtian Bridge within the fourth year after arriving in Chaos City.

The most dazzling ones among them are undoubtedly Bolan and Luo Feng.

Luo Feng understood the essence of the first law in the first year, passed the third level of Tongtian Bridge, and finally became a disciple of King Zhenyan.

During these ten years, Luo Feng, with the help of the domain lord-level Demon Killer Clan's avatar, comprehended the essence of one space law nearly every year. In just ten years, he comprehended the first picture of the Nine Universe Chaos Monument. More than two months ago, he broke through the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Bolan's progress was even more amazing, with a higher talent than the Domain Lord-level Demon Killer Clan. In the sixth year, he successfully passed the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge, which was 13 years faster than the original work.

The next person who made the most progress was Rong Jun, who passed the second level of Tongtian Bridge in the third year.

In addition, there are five other geniuses who have passed the second level of Tongtian Bridge in the past ten years. These five people are... Gu Si Luo, Long Yun, Wu Ka, and Qian Shui and Jiang Mo. All the geniuses are making rapid progress and shining with their own brilliance, but Shen Mu has been silent for a full ten years.

……

Virtual universe, Yu Xiangshan.

In the primitive area, in the training ground in Shen Mu Manor.

"The scene is simulated into a starry sky!"

As Shen Mu finished speaking, the training ground with the transparent dome turned into a vast starry sky again.

hum!
From the Frost God Weapon behind Shen Mu, 2916 streams of icy light flew out and eventually intertwined into a transparent shuttle more than three meters long.

"Congeal!"

Shen Mu gave a low shout, and the more than three-meter-long transparent shuttle changed again, turning into an extremely thin transparent glimmer of light. Even with Shen Mu's first-level cosmic vision, it was difficult to see clearly.

The peak of the fifth level of Frost God Soldier!

During these ten years, Shen Mu completely understood the first picture of the 'Nine Rivers Map' on the Frozen Chaos Monument in the second year.

As for the second 'Ice Field Map', he basically understood it, and completely comprehended the 12 mysteries of the essence of space. However, he only had a rough understanding of the part about the law of water, and there was still some time before he could fully comprehend it.

"It's not enough, give me the sixth level!"

A bright and clear light suddenly burst out from Shen Mu's eyes, his consciousness amplitude was fully activated a hundredfold, and his mental power was consumed crazily.

shhhhhh!
The spear-like Frost God Weapon emitted countless rays of dark blue light, covering all directions.

Almost in an instant, the entire starry sky changed. Everything disappeared and turned into an endless icy world. Violent extreme cold air currents and snowflakes filled with murderous intent spread throughout the world!

The sixth level of the Frost God Soldier, the world of ice!
"go with!"

Shen Mu's mind moved, and the endless ice world was instantly covered by a small meteorite!

Rumble!
Violent icy air currents and seemingly soft snowflakes enveloped the meteorite. Almost in an instant, the entire meteorite was decomposed and shattered!

Bang!
In just two or three seconds, Shen Mu's face looked pale due to the severe consumption of his mental power.

The next moment, with a bang, the entire ice world collapsed completely, and Shen Mu's mental power was also severely consumed.

“The power of the sixth ice world is indeed terrifying, but my attainments in the laws are still far from perfect, so I can only use this hundred-fold amplitude of my mental power to exert it!”

Generally speaking, only by fully understanding the mysteries of the laws in the first two pictures of the Frozen Chaos Monument can one thoroughly master the fifth level of the Frost God Weapon and reach the pinnacle of this level.

However, Shen Mu has profound attainments in the combination of laws. Even if he has not fully understood the first two pictures, he can still perform the fifth level to the peak and master it completely.

Therefore, with the hundred-fold consciousness amplitude, he could barely display the sixth level for a split second, and it could only be used as a fatal blow.

"It's so difficult to perform the sixth level. It's still too difficult to pass the seventh level of Tongtian Bridge."

There is a big bottleneck every three levels of Tongtian Bridge. If Shen Mu wants to get through the seventh level now, he still has to use illusions and soul attacks to have hope.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in emerald green armor entered Shen Mu's training hall.

"Teacher!" Shen Mu bowed slightly.

King Longyu's beautiful face showed an expression of approval: "I didn't expect that in just ten years, you have comprehended the combination of water and space laws to such an extent, and even managed to use the sixth level of the Frost God Weapon!"

For the controller of the nine magical weapons, the fifth to sixth level, and the eighth to ninth level are all major hurdles and the most difficult to overcome.

"I am able to perform the sixth level of the Frost God Weapon thanks to the teacher's teachings over the past ten years."

Shen Mu bowed again to King Longyu in front of him.

A somewhat astonished smile appeared on King Longyu's face: "No need to be like this, it is my luck to be able to teach you."

Suddenly, King Longyu changed the subject and said, "In the past ten years, other geniuses have made great progress. Bolan and Luo Feng have both passed the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge. Many people are looking forward to you passing Tongtian Bridge again."

　I'm stuck in a serious writer's block. I've only written more than 8 words today. Please bear with me, brothers. I'll continue to strive for K tomorrow.
