"The Star Mother added, "The way to advance to the second stage is to make your consciousness and state of mind feel very comfortable and relaxed. So, think carefully about what method can help you empty your body and mind as quickly as possible.

"Thereby, seize that moment of inspiration. Only in this way can you successfully enter the second stage."

Ye Cang thoughtfully stroked his chin and thought, "The Star Mother is indeed the Star Mother. Her ideas are different from ordinary people like us. Making love can actually become a way to improve strength."

The Star Mother seemed to read Ye Cang's mind and said, "In fact, making love is not necessarily a bad thing. Tian Xing is willing to do anything to avenge her brother, the Star King. Xing'er is also doing it for the first time... Ye Cang, you have to be gentle."

With that, the Star Mother leaped up, seemingly wanting to pull her daughter, Tian Xing, into this spatial domain.

This sudden and unannounced decision immediately made Ye Cang feel very abrupt and unprepared.

Ye Cang followed closely behind, leaping into the air, hugging the Star Mother's thigh, and said with a slightly crying voice, "Star Mother, please don't be impulsive, please calm down! We are all characters in a novel. We can't just start driving whenever we want!"

The Star Mother thought for a while and said, "Hmm... what you said seems to make sense. So, what method are you going to use to cultivate?"

Ye Cang asked, "Is fighting okay?"

The Star Mother nodded, "Combat cultivation is also a method. After all, fighting to support fighting is a more direct way. As for who you want as your opponent, have you thought about it?"

The first person Ye Cang thought of was Lao.

Suddenly, Lao really appeared in the Star Mother's spatial domain.

"Star Mother, how did you pull Lao into this secret space?" Ye Cang asked strangely.

The Star Mother replied, "This is a simulated Lao, a simulated version within my domain. So, the Lao in front of you has all the combat data of the real Lao."

Ye Cang rubbed his fists, "In that case, then I will learn from Lao's strength!"

Fu!

Ye Cang turned around and soared into the air, initiating the prelude with a spinning back kick.

Lao didn't dodge or evade, and a backhand straight punch collided with Ye Cang's spinning back kick.

Bang!

As the two's attacks collided, the surrounding wind pressure suddenly spread out.

Lao didn't move at all, while Ye Cang was pushed back two or three meters by Lao's backhand straight punch.

Ye Cang was a little suspicious and confirmed with the Star Mother again, "Star Mother, are you sure he's not an enhanced version of Lao?"

After a while, Ye Cang saw that the Star Mother didn't answer for a long time. He turned his head to look and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

It turned out that the Star Mother had found a corner and was snoring loudly.

With just one probing move, Ye Cang was very clear in his heart that he was no match for Lao at this time.

"This Lao can't be described as strong anymore... he's simply, ridiculously ridiculous, ridiculously extreme!"

Ye Cang roared and immediately transformed into Star Scar form.

As the saying goes, three punches are not as good as one kick. In the previous test, Lao didn't move at all, but he flew out. This made him somewhat unconvinced.

Ye Cang once again took the initiative to attack, with another spinning aerial back kick towards Lao.

This time, Lao didn't use his fist, nor did he use his leg.

In an instant, Lao ducked down to avoid the attack, while breaking into Ye Cang's exposed inner circle. Using the inertia of the dive, he directly rammed his shoulder into Ye Cang's lower back.

Bang! Ye Cang was directly knocked away by Lao.

After getting up, Ye Cang fell into deep thought again.

For a long time, he had never been as embarrassed as he was today.

"Damn it! This Lao is not only strong, but also has top-notch combat skills!"

Ye Cang immediately got up and flashed over, "Chao Shi Kong Ling Yu – Ni Lin (Super-Dimensional Zero Domain – Reverse Scale)."

Ye Cang spun his leg and twisted his hip, kicking against the momentum. A high-level spinning kick struck towards Lao with the force of shattering the sky.

In just the blink of an eye, Lao sidestepped half a step, then leaped forward like an antelope, and a left hook directly blew up Ye Cang's cheek.

Bang!

Ye Cang's offensive was once again intercepted and countered by Lao halfway. His body even rotated 180 degrees in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Plop!

Ye Cang landed face first, sprawled out on all fours.

This series of three-stage kills, each move fatal, was easily cracked and countered by Lao.

Ye Cang quickly got up and attacked Lao again, right leg low back kick followed by a right side kick. Left toe pointed to the ground and jumped, followed by a left front kick.

He ducked to the side to avoid Lao's left straight punch, and his diving swing left hook to the abdomen was resolved by Lao's parry.

Ye Cang seized Lao's punch stiffness and followed up with a right uppercut. Lao's knee strike in time to counter the uppercut, once again resolved the attack.

Because the knee strike blocked Ye Cang's uppercut before it was fully formed, Ye Cang's upper body could not maintain its original center of gravity.

Lao seized Ye Cang's opening and directly kicked Ye Cang's head with a high sweeping kick.

Bang!

Ye Cang was directly kicked away by Lao and passed out.

When Ye Cang woke up again, the Star Mother was sitting on his back.

"Ouch... Star Mother, are you trying to crush me to death?"

The Star Mother glanced at Ye Cang, "You're awake... you're already sleeping in after just starting your cultivation, aren't you ashamed?"

Ye Cang quickly explained, "Bro... I was knocked unconscious, not slacking off on my own."

The Star Mother smiled and then asked, "Then... do you want to continue?"

"Star Mother, of course I have to continue. Otherwise, I'm doomed to lose in the King of Fighters tournament."

The Star Mother stood up and then pulled Ye Cang up, "Ye Cang... is winning or losing really that important to you?"

Ye Cang moved his muscles and bones a few times and replied, "Actually, winning or losing is not that important to me. These people, and many things, are like a mountain in front of me. I want to climb over it, but the purpose is not to conquer or defeat anyone. It's that I want to climb over the mountain to admire the scenery outside the mountain."

"So... Star Mother. My current efforts are to be able to see more beautiful scenery in the future."

The Star Mother was silent, not saying anything more. But in her heart, she thought, "Ye Cang is indeed different... it seems that neither Xing'er nor I have misjudged him."

At this time, the simulated version of Lao appeared again. Ye Cang transformed into Star Scar form again and used his signature ultimate skill, "Chao Shi Kong Ling Yu – Gui Ku (Super-Dimensional Zero Domain – Ghost Cry)!"

A super-large swing backhand heavy punch directly blasted towards Lao!

Lao stood motionless with an invincible posture, waiting for the arrival of the Ghost Cry divine skill!

Suddenly!

Lao dodged to the right and ducked down, grabbing Ye Cang's head with his left hand, pressing down with all his strength with his arm and palm.

This instantaneous ultra-high-speed press made Ye Cang feel nauseous and even want to vomit.

Bang!

Ye Cang's head instantly had an intimate kiss with the ground.

He was instantly killed! Ye Cang was killed by Lao again!
