Chapter 2528: Super Player Textbook
Xu Huo was startled and was about to step back when he realized that another "silk thread" was flying toward him from behind. When they touched the Water Cube Barrier, they easily merged into it, causing a faint ripple on the barrier before passing through unimpeded!
Both the spatial defense item and the trait "Never-Dying Passerby A" were activated simultaneously, yet neither could stop these two "silk threads." They passed through multiple layers of defense barriers like air and finally drilled into his body!
The Water Cube Barrier vanished!
Xu Huo's first reaction was to check his body. There were no wounds, and he felt no discomfort. Even when he tried to recall the spatial power to form the Water Cube Barrier again, it did not reappear!
In that instant, he once again faced the overwhelming power of a Super Player.
The last time Huahan Werner had tested the Water Cube Barrier, it had caused great discomfort to his body. Of course, that didn't mean Huahan Werner lacked a complete solution or a gentler method; it was more likely that he simply didn't care. And now, in this instance venue, there were no Super Players left, yet the mysteriously formed spatial power belt could easily restrict the Water Cube Barrier...
It was a restriction, not a cancellation. He could still feel the spatial power gathering in his abdominal cavity in the form of a space entity. Though very small, it was indeed present.
Xu Huo looked around at the surrounding space. Within his visible range and sensory coverage, there was no one. This metallic city in the space seemed like an empty city.
He tried to walk toward the city center, but as soon as he stepped out of this building, he found himself back in his original position. No matter which direction he went, the same thing happened—he was trapped in this building!
Walking to the edge of the building, he tried to manipulate the spatial rays. Naturally, the spatial rays he could control were now confined to this building.
Well, that was that. The Water Cube Barrier had been replaced by a building barrier.
But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to comply with the venue owner's intentions if he wanted to escape.
The spatial power was changing so slowly, clearly a deliberate demonstration of the method of application. Xu Huo had already completed the step of forming a space entity, but simultaneously creating more spaces and compressing them was not easy. It wasn't simply a matter of forcibly stuffing them into a small space. If it were just a matter of stacking quantities, Xu Huo wouldn't have enough hands even if he had eight. Presumably, the venue owner hadn't set up this elaborate obstacle just to teach latercomers such a crude method.
When he had successfully created the space entity, he had already been able to increase the power of a unit of spatial rays by dozens of times. That was the foundation for the space entity to take shape. But to create "silk threads"... let alone "silk threads," even a super space entity required more clever techniques. At the very least, one had to control spatial power using space entities as units.
Of course, this was a ready-made demonstration venue for spatial power. The deliberately slowed spatial changes displayed the details of power transformation every second. And as he manipulated the spatial rays, he could even see an accelerated version.
Xu Huo tried again and again. When he got tired, he stopped to eat something, then continued.
The techniques of Super Evolution were very important, often representing a qualitative leap. At the same time, quantity was also important because as a player's evolution rate increased and their operational proficiency improved, controlling became easier, which in turn promoted an increase in quantity—that is, expanding the range of control.
The last time he used the Perfect Evolution Potion, it had brought him unexpected benefits. Correspondingly, his spatial control had also improved significantly. It hadn't been long since he evolved to the stage of controlling space entities, and that had been a qualitative leap. He figured that without another evolution, it would be difficult to make any obvious progress in quantity. But it hadn't been long since his last use of the Perfect Potion, and this wasn't the right place either.
After sitting for a while, Xu Huo walked to the window and tried to break the barrier outside.
Spatial evolution had many directions. Depending on each person's experiences and preferences, the emphasis differed. But the more common directions were two: first, directly using spatial power for defense and attack, with representatives being Lady Gong of the Old Holy Sword Society and Super Player Lawrence Li; second, combining spatial power to manipulate other specific objects, with representative Bai Kou.
Lady Gong and Lawrence Li's evolution direction was also Xu Huo's direction. Bai Kou, on the other hand, focused more on controlling objects. Controlling objects was a very delicate operation. Although Xu Huo could also dismantle objects by connecting to the spatial rays inside them, for him, that was less effective than directly manipulating spatial power for attack. So he naturally reduced training in that area. However, Bai Kou could control spatial power to manipulate entire objects, similar to remote control, using direct control of physical objects for attack instead of directly attacking with spatial power.
Neither direction was inherently superior or inferior. Although Bai Kou hadn't shown much, the range of her object control was definitely not small. Perhaps, by the end of her evolution, she could directly control an entire city like Lawrence Li...
And now it seemed that this kind of overall control of specific objects was very similar to instantly forming and controlling a space entity. To control objects in combat, one must also achieve overall control of the object in an instant. Naturally, if one could do that, dismantling an object would be as easy as raising a hand.
Xu Huo tried to manipulate nearby objects. Small and light things could be moved, but with slightly heavier objects, he easily fell into another extreme—destroying them.
After trying several times, he switched his target to some iron products. The harder the object, the more complex and chaotic the spatial rays inside it. Finding the pattern wasn't easy. He either deformed the metal objects or directly cut them open... After many attempts, he couldn't balance detail and overall control, and both aspects were lacking. Controlling a super space entity was much more complex than controlling a piece of metal. If the details weren't controlled well, even if a super space entity was compressed, it would automatically collapse, let alone form a super space entity belt.
"Having the textbook right in front of me, yet I can't take a single step forward." After trying nonstop for two days and two nights, Xu Huo still hadn't made any progress and had to stop to rest again.
The process and final form of spatial evolution were all displayed in this space. He didn't even need to explore the next step of evolution to learn things that other players might rack their brains to figure out. Having a predecessor to guide the way was indeed enviable, but limited talent was also lamentable.
During his break, Xu Huo contacted Bubble Bean. In fact, the other party had been contacting him for the past two days, but he just hadn't bothered to respond.
He briefly replied with a message saying he was fine and telling them to wait patiently. Then he pulled over a nearby table and prepared to sleep for a while. But just as he lay down, the surrounding spatial power suddenly experienced a strong fluctuation!
