"Brother, the flying vehicle's energy has been replenished to eighty percent, and most of its functions are usable now."
"That's great. Can the flying vehicle leave here and return to its original dimension?" Ning Beichen asked her.
"Yes, Brother, but I suggest we don't go back for now," Ning Xiaoling said to Ning Beichen.
"Why?" Ning Beichen asked her, puzzled.
"Brother, I've detected a large quantity of crystals here. I suggest you find more, so that the flying vehicle won't lose control again the next time we encounter danger," Ning Xiaoling explained.
Ning Beichen thought about it and realized she was right. Since they couldn't defeat Yu Huaxue even if they went back, and would surely be pursued by Yu Huaxue upon their return, it was safer to stay here.
Everyone else agreed, so they decided to stay for the time being.
A few days later, Ning Xiaoling told Ning Beichen, "Brother, after testing and analyzing, I've found that this circular disk is likely a toy from a higher dimension."
"A toy?" Ning Beichen's eyelids twitched as he looked at the massive disk.
"Yes, it's a toy. But even as a toy, it's an extraordinary item for a lower-dimensional world," Ning Xiaoling replied.
"Sister, then... then what's the function of this toy?" Ning Beichen found it hard to imagine that this behemoth was a toy.
"Brother, based on my analysis, this toy has many functions, some of which are for cultivation and can be useful to you," Ning Xiaoling said.
"Really? That's great! Can we try it out?" Ning Beichen and everyone else were extremely interested.
"Yes, but it requires some energy. It's not a big problem," Ning Xiaoling said. With Ning Beichen's permission, she activated the disk's cultivation function.
Instantly, everyone felt the disk beneath their feet disappear, and they found themselves in what appeared to be a fighting arena.
Then, Ning Xiaoling's voice reached their ears, "This is a simulated combat arena. The program will generate enemies matching your cultivation level to fight against you."
"However, you don't need to worry. Even if you are killed in here, you won't die. But the experience of being killed or injured will be incredibly realistic, and you will feel the pain. So, be mentally prepared."
"I'll try first," Ning Beichen said. He wanted to experience it himself before he could let them try it with peace of mind.
"Okay, Brother. Get ready. The program-generated enemy will appear soon."
As soon as Ning Xiaoling finished speaking, an opponent appeared on the arena. This opponent's cultivation level was similar to Ning Beichen's, belonging to the Extraordinary realm. However, this equally matched opponent was blown away by Ning Beichen's Wu Ji Da Beng Mie.
"Sister, don't underestimate your brother's strength. Give me something tougher." Ning Beichen said confidently to Ning Xiaoling.
"Then Brother, be careful." Ning Xiaoling adjusted the difficulty, and another opponent quickly appeared in the arena. However, this opponent was still easily defeated by Ning Beichen.
"Sister, you don't need to arrange Extraordinary realm opponents for me anymore. Give me some Transcendent realm ones." Ning Beichen said.
"Alright, Brother." Ning Xiaoling had to adjust the difficulty again. This time, a woman who used a long spear as her weapon appeared. The moment she appeared, her spear transformed into a dragon spear, and she launched a fierce attack on Ning Beichen.
"Interesting." Ning Beichen calmly engaged in a brief sparring match with the spear-wielding madwoman. Then, he unsheathed his Bronze Ancient Sword and killed her with a single strike.
"Sister, bring more." Ning Beichen was starting to get excited.
"Okay." Ning Xiaoling was also happy for her brother's prowess and adjusted the difficulty again. This time, three Transcendent realm opponents appeared in the arena at once.
Ning Beichen looked at the three opponents, finally showing some interest. He stood defiantly in place and beckoned them over. These three Transcendent realm opponents were just virtual programs; they wouldn't get angry because of Ning Beichen's provocation.
However, this time Ning Beichen didn't win as easily. Facing the siege of three Transcendent realm opponents, Ning Beichen had to put in considerable effort to defeat them all. But this was far from Ning Beichen's limit. He didn't even use his ultimate moves against the three Transcendent realm opponents, only ordinary attacks to defeat them.
"When did this brat get so strong?" Chen Xingyun exclaimed, seeing this. He was greatly surprised because Ning Beichen's strength had long surpassed his understanding of this disciple.
"Sister, give me ten. It's not enough to satisfy me," Ning Beichen called out to Ning Xiaoling.
"Okay, Brother. Ten this time. You better be careful, don't make too much of a fool of yourself," Ning Xiaoling said playfully.
"Bring it on! Today, I'll show you what 'King Yama Ning' is all about!" Ning Beichen declared heroically.
"Alright, here come the opponents." Ning Xiaoling summoned ten Transcendent realm opponents. The moment they appeared, they launched a frantic assault on Ning Beichen, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
This level of intensity finally satisfied Ning Beichen, and he began to deal with them seriously. The siege of ten Transcendent realm opponents finally made Ning Beichen flustered. Before long, he sustained some injuries, causing him to grit his teeth in pain. Although virtual, the pain of the injuries was incredibly realistic, indistinguishable from actual physical pain.
Ning Beichen chose to fight defensively, defeating his opponents one by one. About half an hour later, all ten Transcendent realm enemies disappeared, and Ning Beichen emerged victorious.
"Sister, can you simulate a Venerable realm opponent for me?" Ning Beichen, who was on a killing spree, was no longer content with fighting Transcendent realm enemies.
Ning Xiaoling quickly summoned a Venerable realm opponent to the arena. This time, Ning Beichen wasn't so fortunate. The Venerable was relentlessly attacking him in the arena. Because the virtual Venerable was a program and not a real person with emotions, Ning Beichen found it difficult to exploit its weaknesses, and could only rely on his strength. Attempts at trickery were useless.
With a bang, Ning Beichen was sent flying by the Venerable. If he hadn't possessed the Prajna Golden Body, he would have already died. Ning Beichen, his face covered in blood, quickly got up from the ground and rolled to the side. Immediately, a massive fist imprint appeared where he had just fallen. However, Ning Beichen did not surrender. Gripping his Bronze Ancient Sword, he charged forward as his opponent made a move.
