God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Even the most powerful individual, with strength reaching the level of a Super Top Expert, is absolutely impossible to survive under the explosion of a meteorite!

Of course, this doesn’t mean that whoever gets the meteorite can instantly become invincible, becoming an untouchable formidable existence.

The explosive power of the meteorite is indeed terrifying, but releasing its energy is not an easy task; not even three or more Super Top Experts together can ignite it!

Yet, it must be understood that there are not so many Super Top Experts nowadays, especially those holding grudges against society, willing to sacrifice themselves to turn a thousand-mile radius into a wasteland.

So, although many people know the power of the meteorite is boundless, there is no one worried that someone might get it in their hands and cause any trouble.

And this is precisely why Mizuno Pengyu dared to test Xiao Tian, without worrying about it slipping from his grasp.

Such an item, which is more tempting than tasty, ends up being a useless decoration, with at most some collectible and research value, so saying it’s dispensable is not an exaggeration.

Xiao Tian naturally understands this fact, and precisely because he understands, he must consider whether to accept it or not...

He cannot blame himself for hesitating, for Mizuno Pengyu’s excuse is intriguing—the words "gratitude gift" are undoubtedly in thanks for Xiao Tian saving Ozawa Miwa.

But the question is, in what capacity is Mizuno Pengyu thanking him, and what significant correlation does Ozawa Miwa’s life and death have with him?

Unless... this guy doesn’t plan to abandon the marriage.

Thinking it over, Xiao Tian feels it’s best to return the meteorite, so Mizuno Pengyu won’t bring it up as an issue later.

However, just as he intends to return it, he suddenly recalls the so-called Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion that he recently acquired is existing within his Divine Sense Realm... could it contain information on the usage of the meteorite?

Acting on his thought, Xiao Tian splits part of his consciousness to enter the Divine Sense Realm, leaving a small portion to control his body in the real world, manipulating the meteorite to disguise his actions.

Upon entering the Divine Sense Realm, Xiao Tian doesn’t waste any time; he merely extends his hand to summon the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, which spins rapidly before landing in his hand, something quite different than before.

At the moment of contact with the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, Xiao Tian feels a sudden irresistible suction that doesn’t even allow him time to react. As his vision blacks out and light returns, he no longer sees the Divine Sense Realm but rather a... library?

Xiao Tian gazes around at the several 3-meter-tall, densely-packed bookshelves, filled with doubt. In the Divine Sense Realm, he exists not in his true form but as a consciousness—is his awareness now inside the miniaturized Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion?

Why play tricks on me like this?

It’s such a critical moment, and yet this happens—all of this is intentional!

With a composed mind, Xiao Tian knows being anxious now is useless, so he calms himself and surveys the surroundings, gazing upward to see that indeed the interior space of the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion is vast, with spiral staircases leading up—a rough count reveals over a dozen levels.

Seeing the ocean-like expanse of books and the daunting height of levels above, Xiao Tian feels a sudden throbbing in his temple—when will he finish exploring this?

After venting, recalling the method of acquiring pharmacological knowledge previously, Xiao Tian begins to attempt finding the way to utilize the meteorite, closing his eyes to establish a connection between his Divine Sense and the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion...

"Meteorite!" Xiao Tian suddenly holds a book in his hand, but the book seems like a model, merged wholly, with no apparent place to start flipping through it.

In frustration, Xiao Tian erupts and forcefully throws the book into the distance—only to watch it pause mid-flight before suddenly the book cover gleams, revealing a line of small, black text that upon careful inspection reads: the content exceeds current standards, access denied!

Translated: Your current level is too low, better improve before trying!

Regarding this "standard," Xiao Tian can guess most of it—likely a combination of strength, vision, Perception Power, among other miscellaneous factors.

However, the actual needed standard is not indicated in the small text; all that’s certain is it’s currently impossible to access.

Although he didn’t get what he wanted, Xiao Tian is at least certain for now—there indeed are records about meteorites within the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion; he just can’t access them currently.

With some reluctance, he wanders through the passageway between bookshelves towards the upward staircase he notices not far away.

His curiosity piqued, Xiao Tian wonders what may be recorded on the second floor?

Charmed by intense curiosity, Xiao Tian steps onto the wooden stairs leading to the second floor, yet upon crossing into the second floor, a transparent light screen appears before him, flashing upon touch, followed by vertical text emerging: non-rare Cultivation Technique, not admitted to this level!

Silently nodding, Xiao Tian deduces the second layer indeed holds Cultivation Techniques, and indeed rare ones, otherwise it wouldn’t qualify entry.

After the words disappear from the light screen, Xiao Tian peers inside through the transparent glow—indeed, he finds the second level is not as impressively vast as the first, at least half the size.

Yet even at half size, it’s enough to make one’s heart race—knowing these are rare Cultivation Techniques!

This time, it truly feels like finding a treasure!

The frustration in his heart vanishes, and with a thought, Xiao Tian effortlessly exits from the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, again observing the miniature pavilion-like sculpture with countless dense golden characters swirling around.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Tian exits the Divine Sense Realm, his heart subtly anticipating... just what earth-shattering things could be stored at the topmost level of the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion?

...

Returning to the real world, Xiao Tian smiles and says, "This meteorite is indeed an extremely rare item, but as the saying goes, one shouldn’t accept rewards without merit. If I am to receive a gratitude gift, it should be from the royal family in appreciation!"

The middle-aged man’s heart leaps with joy; initially, he thought Xiao Tian would be tempted to accept upon seeing the meteorite. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tian expresses an idea perfectly aligned with his intentions, quickly agreeing, "Rest assured, the royal family will surely prepare a grand gift in gratitude!"

Witnessing this, Mizuno Pengyu is slightly surprised, but soon regains composure, saying, "Since Her Highness the Princess marries someone from the Mizuno Clan, she naturally counts as part of our Mizuno Clan, and regardless, this gratitude gift must be accepted!"

Xiao Tian’s heart tightens; inwardly, he curses this old fellow for indeed playing at this angle.

However, how to respond next depends on the attitude of the royal decision-maker...

Moments later, the middle-aged man politely declines, "The wedding procedures haven’t completed the final step, so it’s not yet considered part of the Mizuno Clan. Such a valuable gratitude gift, better if you take it back..."
