"I understand that interdimensional travel takes time, having experienced it before, but what exactly does this time depend on?"
"It shouldn't be related to the number of times I've entered different planes. Let's compare the three planes side-by-side. The Bone Spirit Realm is full of souls and skeletons, and its power system is unknown, but judging from the white moon that melted the entire world, it seems to possess extremely terrifying power. The Bone Spirit Maid also mentioned that there will be even more powerful abilities in the future. It seems I really need to go and confirm some of my questions again."
"The ship girls of the Ocean World are probably stronger than legendary warriors in terms of physical strength, but can they rival mages? They possess different talents related to the ocean, so they might be much stronger on their home turf. After consuming the Fusion Essence, their ship forms and human forms have merged, making their strength currently immeasurable, but let's tentatively categorize them as above legendary..."
"The mages of the world of Terry... are all around legendary level in strength, but their understanding of magic is rather superficial. As for that goddess Il, judging by her physical body alone, she's not particularly strong, though that might be because she split herself up... Aside from Il, the highest level they're probably at is around eighth or ninth ring."
Latis gradually formed some guesses in his mind, but he put them aside for the time being and murmured:
"The answer may lie in the next dimensional journey..."
After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered his original intention to study enchanting techniques. He hesitated for a while, then sat on the bed, took off his underwear, and laughed heartily.
"Brother Niu, I'm counting on you this time. Please demonstrate the great 'Grow Bigger' principle to me. Thank you so much, Brother Niu!"
……
Ten minutes later, he put on his underwear with an embarrassed look on his face and scratched his head.
"Oh no, I forgot! Brother Niu only grew bigger in an instant. My comprehension isn't enough to grasp the laws that quickly!"
Latis took a deep breath and began to actively recall the scene of his daughter picking up the Black Swamp Hammer and beating him. He was immediately shocked and dejected in the phantom pain.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took off his underwear again, and laughed heartily.
"Brother Niu, you've worked hard, let's do it again!"
……
Half an hour later, when the half-elf carried a plate of fruit into Latis's room, he saw Latis sitting cross-legged with his palms facing upwards, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at his great bull brother, his face solemn.
"Big brother...?"
The half-elf was startled and stammered as he took a step back, collapsing against the wall.
Latis snapped out of his daze, looked up, and seeing that it was a half-elf, grinned maliciously and said:
"Ate's here! Put the fruit platter on the table, I'm cultivating!"
“Cultivation?!” The half-elf took a deep breath, not daring to look at Latis again. He carefully put down the fruit plate, opened his mouth in a conflicted manner, then sighed worriedly and left the room.
"Damn, I got away with it..."
Latis wiped his sweat, quickly put on his shorts, and sighed.
"Is it really because I lack comprehension? How could I not understand it? Is it because my mind was preoccupied with those awkward moments with everyone, and I didn't properly focus on comprehending the principles?"
He shook his head, thought for a moment, and decided to use cheat codes.
"Simulator, let's begin the Mount Hua Sword Tournament!"
Chapter 142 The little bird clenched its fist and shouted: I want them all!

【Dimensional Journey (Entry Requirements: 10-50)】
【Path of the Sage (2/2 times this week)】
[Battle of Laws (2/2 this week)]
"The Endless Dimension Travel Agency's business scope is really wide, but unfortunately, the capacity of ten people is still not enough for me..." Latis complained. After trying to open the advertisement without success, he decisively entered PvP mode.
You chose the battle of wits.
Black particles covered his vision, and after a while, an arena appeared in front of him.
"...Whose mage is going to have a close-quarters arena match?!"
Latis stared thoughtfully at the figure vaguely outlined in the billowing smoke opposite him.
"The entire arena is probably only fifty meters in diameter. The initial fog was likely to give the mages time to check their hands..."
He shook his head, waited a while, and then the result appeared before his eyes.
[Randomly selected spells: Dispel Magic, Magic Missile, Mage's Black Hand, Blink, Flight]
[Randomly select enchantments: Enhance, Stronger, or Extended Range]
[Optional custom enchantments: Grow Larger, Grow Faster, Grow Slower (Selecting this will use up your random enchantment slots)]
"A new enchantment! Looks like someone's aptitude isn't too bad after all! But the name of this enchantment is way less impressive than a proper enchantment..."
Latis muttered a curse to himself, shook his head, looked at the spell card in his hand, and silently recited:
"It makes sense that self-created spells will be counted among the spells already possessed."
Suddenly, he noticed that the fog around him was slowly dissipating. He took a deep breath, looked at his opponent who was also gradually revealing himself, and began to think about his battle strategy.
"If it's just about enhancing magic missiles, I wonder if they'll be able to deal effective damage. Our offensive options are a bit limited. It seems we need to inscribe more offensive spells in the future..."
In the blink of an eye, the fog completely dissipated, and Latis and the woman opposite him exchanged a glance; a great battle was about to break out!
……
……
"After you finish this match, you should be able to advance to the top 64 of the ladder, right? You can go to the Endless Dimension Travel Agency to collect your prize soon!"
A friend's voice came from outside the illusion device. Xuanxuan sighed helplessly and said:
"Stop talking, my immersion is dropping... If I can achieve a 50-game winning streak in this match, the points I gain will definitely be enough to advance to the top 64. However, although this is just a small game organized by the travel agency, there are still many experts involved, and I cannot guarantee victory."
"I believe in you, Xuanzi. Quickly give that little forbidden spell mage a shock..."
Xuanxuan shook her head, turned off the function of receiving external information, and glanced at the cards in her hand.
Two support cards and three forbidden spell cards—although her ring count wasn't high, it was enough for her to dominate this virtual arena.
A so-called forbidden spell mage is one who has forgotten all the complex spells, leaving only individual spells with different functions, and who breaks through the limitations of magic runes in the process of deduction, so that the spells can acquire a destructive power that cannot be estimated by the number of rings.
Ordinary mages may occasionally possess one or two forbidden spells, but they are not as extreme as forbidden spell mages, because the conditions for possessing forbidden spells are very demanding and the price is very high.
First, the spell patterns used to modify forbidden spells must be inscribed into one's soul, not simply memorized. It is well known that magic exists within the soul; the soul is the perfect medium for its containment. Sometimes, powerful spells require the mage to leave their body to cast them, because the physical body acts as a constraint on magic. Inscribing spell patterns into the soul is extremely difficult, typically requiring decades of arduous training to inscribe even a single pattern.
Secondly, when a mage transforms a spell into a forbidden spell, the essence of its runes is destroyed. After that, the mage will no longer be able to use any spells based on that rune, because the broken runes in his soul will emerge with the magic power and replace the runes of the spell that is taking shape.
This is a very heavy price to pay, because the spell trees of the vast universe are extremely abundant, and no one knows whether there will be spells above legendary level at the end of the spell tree of a first-level spell. The rupture of the magic runes is equivalent to directly eliminating the possibility of using the relevant spell tree.
Third, with the increase in interdimensional organizations, there has been less pointless fighting between mages, and people are no longer so focused on combat power. Of course, perhaps because of this, there have also been more people who are bored and pursue extremes...
Xuanxuan snapped out of her daze, looked at the completely dissipated mist, and without thinking about the enchantment combinations, waved her hand and shouted:
Forbidden Spell: Fireball Deconstruction - Bombard Inferno!
A massive black and red fireball instantly appeared in the arena, and after a silent explosion, it transformed the area into a lava field covered with sticky flames. Lava clumps, visible everywhere, transformed into countless trigger-activated bombs in her mind, filling the entire arena.
Xuanxuan smiled confidently, looked at her opponent who used teleportation to enter the dimensional gap, and shook her head.
"Good idea, but a forbidden spell is a forbidden spell because you can't just hide and get through it. The moment you're squeezed out of the dimensional gap, I'll show you what it means to have heavenly lightning strike the earth!"
She exhaled and threw out her second card.
"Forbidden Spell: Thunder Summoning Technique Deconstructed - Heavenly Prison of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts!"
Several dark clouds coalesced into a jet-black sphere, hovering high in the sky. Violent lightning magic gathered beneath the black sphere, forming a visible ball of lightning, poised to strike.
"You should be squeezed out of the dimensional rift by now, so let Lady Xuanxuan end your life!"
Xuanxuan shouted in a very childish and dramatic way, proudly putting her finger in front of her eyes, then waving it wildly and yelling:
"Explode, explosion, explosion!... Huh?"
She looked at the still empty center of the venue and rubbed her eyes in confusion.
……
……
"She's having so much fun... It's so good to be young."
Latis remained hidden within the teleportation spell, which had been enhanced with a "slowdown" effect. Watching the twin-tailed girl constantly shifting poses through the dimensional rift, he couldn't help but mutter:
"But she's cheating! I hate cheaters more than anything! Can anyone ban her account? How am I supposed to play like this?"
He took a deep breath, glanced at his hand again, and showed a repentant expression.
"Little sister, I hope you don't develop any psychological trauma..."
……
"where is the guy?"
Seeing that her opponent hadn't come out for a long time, Xuanxuan became anxious as she watched the slowly dissipating Purgatory Arena and the Heavenly Thunder Summoning Creature.
"Don't worry, Xuanxuan, he can't beat you. Just use your last forbidden spell card the moment he comes out..."
She took a deep breath, glanced at her hand, and felt slightly calmer.
Forbidden Spell: Deconstruction of the Sphere of Annihilation - Rainbow Egg, directly creates a rapidly expanding sphere of annihilation at the target location, causing permanent damage to objects covered by the sphere. Within its range, teleportation spells will be disabled due to spatial instability.
"I'm standing at the edge of the arena, so I'll probably be the last one to get hurt. It's a suicidal move in this confined space, but at least it guarantees victory..."
Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, and she pointed a single finger at Latis, who had emerged from the dimensional rift, and shouted:
"Boy, accept your fate!"
With a dramatic, over-the-top shout, a violently fluctuating, unstable sphere of light appeared beneath Latis's feet. As she confidently sensed the sphere rapidly expanding, suddenly, her pupils dilated, and she cried out in a trembling voice:
"How can this be?!"
Suddenly, magical wings sprouted from Latis's back and began to vibrate violently at an ultra-high speed, reaching a climax every second. With a strange, grinning smile on his face, he shot towards Xuanxuan at a speed that the Rainbow Surprise Egg couldn't catch up with!
"I'm super!"
Xuanxuan screamed as she watched Latis's flying punch aimed directly at her flat chest. Instinctively, she threw out her flying spell card and flew straight into the sky.
However, that was just a smokescreen!
