Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 64 Fist of the North Star? Two years ago?!

Yesterday's data review, combined with today's spending, has brought Huang Hong's credit points to zero again.

But it doesn't matter. Money is meant to be spent. It hasn't disappeared; it's just continued to accompany him in a different way.

The Martial Arts Echoes are not far from the Demon Dragon Fortress. Huang Hong entered the Demon Dragon Fortress from the east gate before, but now he has to exit from the west gate, which is equivalent to crossing a mountain range.

The area corresponding to the west gate of Dragon Fortress is Hellfire Peninsula, an extremely harsh environment teeming with demonic monsters.

If the Principality of Hyde in the east is likened to heaven, then Hellfire Peninsula is truly hell.

Of course, precisely because of this, there are quite a few adventurers who come here.

While others cannot directly dissect monster corpses like Huang Hong, they still have ways to utilize them.

For example, demons have excellent magic resistance on their skin, their horns and claws can store energy, their flesh can be used as food or fuel, and their bones can be used to make weapons. They are truly a treasure trove.

Although Hellfire Peninsula is fraught with danger, it has also been traversed by countless adventurers who have carved out several paths for it.

The off-road vehicle roared across the burning ground, dodging lava lakes and erupting volcanoes along the way. Occasionally, it would encounter demons blocking its path, but they would easily take them down.

After the Iron Man armor was equipped with the intelligent module, its intelligence level was indeed greatly improved, but it was still a long way from being a truly normal life form. However, Huang Hong was not in a hurry; he could take it slowly.

The reason why the last module of the Iron Man armor was designated as the intelligent module is twofold: first, understanding that this mechanical intelligence helps mechanical life awaken its self; and second, the echoes of martial arts spacetime have their own rules.

Martial arts are revered there, and all technological elements are rejected. Huang Hong doesn't know if he can bring the Iron Man armor in. If he can't, does that mean he has to leave the Iron Man armor, which has no intelligence, all alone outside?

Now that it has an intelligent module, if it really can't get in, the Iron Man armor at least has a certain degree of autonomy. It can stay outside and hide, and maybe even carry out some hunting and looting.

Traveling at breakneck speed, Huang Hong deliberately avoided some of the dangerous places marked on the map. Even though he still frequently encountered demons, he dealt with them quite easily.

The only time Huang Hong had to use his full strength was when he unexpectedly encountered a patrolling demon. The demon was three meters tall, with considerable strength, agility, and physique, as well as powerful magic-like abilities.

In this battle, Huang Hong used all his skills to finally kill the Great Demon. After the battle, the Iron Man armor was severely damaged, but fortunately, the latter's transforming metal could repair itself. They specially found a safe area to rest for a day before setting off again.

And this great demon once again broke Huang Hong's record for the most source energy he ever harvested in a single instance, with 422 points.

Four days later, Huang Hong crossed the Hellfire Peninsula and entered a dark and dense forest. This was a completely new area, where most of the monsters possessed the ability to conceal their presence or stealth. Although their levels were not high, they were quite troublesome.

Fortunately, although Huang Hong's All-Seeing Perspective is not good at appraising treasures, he has yet to meet his match in terms of observation. No matter how the monsters hide themselves, he can easily discover them.

After traveling for two more days, Huang Hong arrived at a huge crater. This crater looked like it was formed by a meteorite impact, with a diameter of several thousand meters and a depth of two to three hundred meters. Directly above the center of the crater, there was an irregular crack, which was the martial arts spacetime echo that Huang Hong was looking for.

After issuing a series of pre-set commands to the Iron Man armor, Huang Hong stored it inside his body. This way, if the Iron Man armor was expelled when he entered the spacetime echo later, it could still act according to his commands.

Entering this spacetime echo is simple: just stand on the edge of the crater and send out the intention to enter. The spacetime echo will capture the thought and naturally pull you in.

Huang Hong turned his head slightly. He could feel that there were eyes secretly watching him from afar, but he didn't care and began to release his mental energy.

A few minutes later, the crack trembled slightly, releasing a weak but not negligible force. This force enveloped Huang Hong and pulled him directly into the crack.

Another dizzying sensation followed, and Huang Hong's vision went black as he lost consciousness.

When he came to his senses again, he felt dizzy, and a flood of memories rushed into his mind, seemingly a young boy's entire life...

[Entry into the Spacetime Echo was successful. Entry method: ...occupation.]

[Searching for a counterpart... Counterpart locked... Occupation initiated... Occupation complete... Identity changed.]

[Entry complete. Current time contrast ratio is 1:6. Maximum permitted stay: three months.]

Main quest: None

[Side quests, none]

Huang Hong gradually came to his senses. He glanced at the information from the time-space echo and was not surprised.

There are generally two ways to enter a spacetime echo: occupation and intrusion.

Occupation means directly replacing the person who originally existed in the spacetime echo. Generally, one will choose an existence similar to oneself, so there will not be much difference.

Intrusion means entering directly using one's own appearance. In fact, the incident in Anyue City was an intrusion.

It's worth mentioning that whether it's occupation or invasion, it's still your own entity, just with slightly different manifestations. Once you die, you're truly dead.

Most spacetime echoes have a time flow difference with the outside world. For example, the current ratio is 1:6, which means that one day in the outside world will be six days in the spacetime echo.

This spacetime echo has no main or side quests; you can explore it and stay for a maximum of three months.

Although the mutual permeation of rules means that even in the spacetime echo, it is impossible to avoid being assimilated by the Paradise World, the good thing is that the assimilation time is calculated according to the outside world.

This is undoubtedly good news for Huang Hong.

After receiving the information in his mind, Huang Hong realized what world he was in. This was actually... Fist of the North Star!

And it's not the original world of the 1990s, which was destroyed by nuclear bombs, the world fell into chaos, and martial arts gradually declined. Instead, it's the Central Plains two thousand years ago, a time of chaos, where martial arts had reached its peak!

On this land, the era of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for supremacy between Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan had ended, but strangely, the Sima clan did not replace Cao Cao. The chaos continued, with more than a dozen warlords vying for control of the Central Plains, each harboring ambitions to dominate the world.

Martial arts schools have emerged one after another. Martial arts masters and experts travel the world with their own ideals, practice their beliefs with their martial arts, and engage in life-and-death battles.

In this era, three major schools of thought dominated the world.

Fist of the North Star uses killing to stop killing, employing assassinations of powerful figures to avoid large-scale battles.

The Nanto Seiken protects all people and saves them from fire and water, but because of its great power, it also has many extremely evil people among its members.

The Yuan Dou Huang Quan obeys the emperor's orders and protects him at all times, but can cause bloodshed across the land at the emperor's command.
