Chapter 1020 Natural Instincts of a Seductress

However, Jhonas immediately thought about Lao Wang’s terrifying combat power and suppressed any taunts he had. Then, he laughed hollowly. “What do you mean backward? The civilizations that rule the divine territory are not technology types and are not interested in this kind of thing. Whoever the ruler is will naturally determine the direction we develop in. Furthermore, Boss, haven’t you heard that convenience makes people lazy…?”Lao Wang somewhat understood. In the eyes of the experts, all technology that allowed their lives to become more convenient were playthings that decomposed their flesh and spirit. Yes, when life became more convenient, people would become lazy. In several large environments in the Land, they might be relatively better in this aspect. After all, there were many pure-technology civilizations in the Star Alliance. However, in the Heavenly Gates, one would fly if one could fly, and use legs to run if one could not fly. This was a method of tempering one’s body.

Unless the artifact that you had refined helped you to fly, or were profound messenger of your path[a], you had to cultivate to your peak before thinking of having a convenient life. To put it nicely, it was a stimulating environment that encouraged one to advance. In essence, the divine territory was concerned about this problem.

At night, Jhonas quickly went to dreamland and started to sleep soundly.

This fellow had a very mysterious skill. When he slept during class, he would not snore, but when he slept in the hostel at night, his snores were earth-shattering.

Lao Wang was speechless. Why was everything that had to do with this creature loud? He really wanted to see what the results would be if this fellow let out terrifying snores during Weapon Refinery classes.

Wang Zhong did not sleep. Of course, this was not because of the snores from the fellow beside him. He was quietly pondering by himself.

One look and he could tell that the materials required for the Pill Refinery mission were not cheap. Although Jhonas had agreed very quickly, this was probably a joke between them. Wang Zhong could not always borrow money from others. He had to develop his own resources.

Just listening to Elder Yimo’s lessons allowed Lao Wang to form a great interest in pill refinery. This could be said to be the most important as it was the key to allowing him to pioneer and master a method for Earthlings to form their Core. More importantly, it was the capital for Earthlings to free themselves.

Among the civilizations in the divine territory, the Bell race had relied solely on pill studies to give themselves a new lease on life. There was nothing else. As for the other lower-classed civilizations, being able to advance by one civilization level (after painstakingly mixing in with the divine territory for countless years) was already considered very good. Furthermore, advancing from level-4 to level-5 was easy, and there was hope to advance from level-5 to level-6. But what about a level-6 civilization advancing to level-7 or level-8? The higher they went, the more difficult it would become. The difficulty would multiply, and it was practically impossible to achieve unless they spent their ill-gotten gains.

Furthermore, not only was it normally difficult to increase the level of a civilization, in reality, the higher civilizations had also always been oppressing the lower-classed civilizations. There were only so many resources, and the territory of the divine territory was only so big. If others rose, what would happen to the high-leveled civilizations? Would they help one another? What a joke. Squeezing into the circles of peak civilizations in the divine territory was not something that ordinary experts could do.

After all, the task was arduous and the road was long.

Lessons in the Heavenly Gates were not held every day. The Combat Cultivation Hall had more courses and would have more than ten lessons every month. Meanwhile, the Weapon Hall had relatively fewer lessons, and having five lessons a month was already not bad. After all, the high-leveled supervisors had to cultivate as well. Time was precious and asking them to spend five days to teach was already a massive investment. As for the Pill Refinery Hall, there was only one lesson per month. It was higher than the two other Halls, and the Elder would only show mercy when he was in a particularly good mood.

What kind of identity did Elder Yimo have? Even though he seemed kind and amiable, and was small and thin, he was an expert who was on the same level as the current supervisor, Erza. He was a peak Gold Core almighty expert and was one of the absolute overlords of the Land. Just how valuable was the time of this person? Taking out half a day to teach the new pupils was simply considered a massive favor. It was simply one’s wildest fantasy to expect him to be surrounded by new pupils daily.

The next day, there were no lessons for all three Halls. Once Jhonas woke up in the morning, he excitedly made an uproar and was about to head for the Heavenly Gates Street.

The entire Heavenly Gates was extremely big. The entire area from the entrance towards Heaven until here was the Heavenly Pond area. However, even as official pupils of the Heavenly Gates, they were still unable to act in the outskirts of the Heavenly Gates with their current rights. They could not even see the Heavenly Pond, let alone go there, as it was a classified area.

After that were the places where the Three Great Halls carried out their lessons, including the Furnace Mountain where pills were refined, the Creation Hall where weapons were cultivated, and the Violence Field where combat was trained. They were all built around the Heavenly River.

It was said that many higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates, such as the elders and the supervisors, would usually live within these three sacred areas. Meanwhile, ordinary pupils could only enter these areas during official lessons. Furthermore, they could only enter specified areas.

Further out was where the pupils from each Hall lived. There were several layers to this area, and the Boy Mountain where Wang Zhong and the others lived was in the outermost area. Of course, this outermost area was also relative, as it was still considered within the Heavenly Gates. Meanwhile, there was a relatively large external Heavenly Gates area in the outskirts of Boy Mountain. There was the Spiritual Field District of the Heavenly Gates, which specialized in growing various kinds of strange flowers and plants, and took up a relatively large area. There was also the Heavenly River sandpit. The sandpit was the most brilliant place in the entire Land and had the highest production efficiency. It was situated in the outer [b]area. Since it was the source of the Heavenly River, the energy in the area was pure. Furthermore, the spiritual sand in that small place could fetch a value of 10,000 Gold Star Stones daily and was simply a money-making machine. There were also many other Heavenly Gates businesses. The Heavenly Gates Street was no more than a shopping street for the few merchants who opened their trade to people outside.

Both Jhonas and Lao Wang could not fly, and heading towards the Heavenly Gates Street from Boy Mountain was not a short journey. They chatted as they walked but did not hate the silence either. Occasionally, pupils would fly overhead and cast disdainful gazes at the two people on the ground. To Void Core experts, flying was a basic operation, even within the Heavenly Gates where the spiritual pressure was shocking.

“Tsk tsk. Once I start refining weapons, the first thing I will refine is a flying sword!” Jhonas looked at those who were flying around and felt extremely jealous. Although the illusion race did not face obstacles in achieving their Core, they had to accumulate their Core over time. According to Jhonas’s own calculations, unless he suddenly exploded with great power, it would be very difficult for him to achieve his Void Core before he graduated. “The feeling of flying around is really too comfortable.”

“You should get rid of your habit of sleeping in class.” Lao Wang was helpless towards Jhonas’s sweet confidence.

“Geniuses don’t have to do so! Boss, I will also refine a flying sword for you!” Jhonas started to dance for joy. “I will simply refine a pair of multicolored male and female flying swords. Then, I will use the male sword, and Boss will use the… Hmm. Male and female flying swords are no good. Let’s refine mother and child flying swords! They will also come in a pair. Then, I will use…!”

The Flying Pig immediately rephrased himself under Lao Wang’s cruel gaze. Just as he was about to continue chattering, several pairs of eyes glared at them from the sky. Closely after, three figures suddenly fell from the sky in front of them, kicking up the soil beneath their feet.

They were three Combat Cultivation pupils. One of them was female, and the other two were male. Lao Wang and Jhonas seemed to have seen them in the Combat Cultivation Hall yesterday.

The female was a member of the Seductress race. Her body was thin and soft, as if she did not have any bones. Just like how a majority of females from the Seductress race dressed, her clothes were very “thin”. Thin feathers covered her shoulders and her chest. Her perky buttocks and long legs were all exposed. Every move she made and every casual action from her charmed everyone. Any man would turn to look at her.

The other two were from the Blood Demon race. In particular, one of them had crooked sheep horns on his head that were not symmetrical. This was rather eye-catching; plus, he was one of the 10 people Lao Wang had ambushed and gotten rid of yesterday. Thus, Lao Wang had a lasting impression on him. However, these Blood Demons were somewhat weather[c]. The female Seductress was obviously a Void Core, but the two Blood Demons seemed to be at the peak Foundational Stage and were carried along when the female Seductress flew. The goblin race, the Seductress race, and the Blood Demon race all came from the same branch. Furthermore, with the strength of the Blood Demon race, Foundational Stage Blood Demons had been sent here not just to make up the numbers, unlike with the lower-classed civilizations. They either had extremely powerful natural endowments and potential but had only cultivated for a short time, or had background and bloodline. With their identity, it was not strange for them to travel with a Void Core Seductress.

Not only did Lao Wang have a strong impression of them, but Jhonas beside him had an even stronger impression on them. Looking at the ferocity and killing intent that the two Blood Demons showed when they charged down, one did not even need to think to know what these three people were planning.

However, before the three of them could speak, Wang Zhong had already stretched out his hand. “Hand over your combat signs.”

The atmosphere there instantly froze. What in the world was this?

Jhonas almost pissed his pants. Although he knew that his Boss was very fierce and that the Blood Demon was not a Void Core and had been eliminated by Boss yesterday, Boss had ambushed him after he was exhausted from battle yesterday. Today, they were full of vigor. Furthermore, there were three of them; one of which was a Void Core. Did he dare to fight them? He was just asking for death!

The three of them were stunned. Then, they could not help but laugh out loud.

“This idiot. I’m so angry that I’m amused.”

“Young one, you stole our line. I will show you why flowers are red in an instant!” The Blood Demon who had been ambushed yesterday fiercely said, “Today, I…”

However, before he could finish speaking, the figure in front of him disappeared.

Whoosh~

Boom!

A fist that was as large as a sandbag simply slammed into the horns of the Blood Demon. Then, there was a large cracking sound, and the horns started to break from Wang Zhong’s punch. It was so painful that the Blood Demon instantly fainted.

Horns were the weapons of Blood Demons, but at the same time, the horns were their weaknesses. These horns were extremely sturdy, but anything that was sturdy would definitely have a weak point. The roots of the horns were the weakest.

During yesterday’s battle, Lao Wang’s greatest gain was seeing the special or obvious weaknesses of the various races. For example, the weakness of the Blood Demons would be well-protected during typical battles. They would naturally use spiritual power to protect their horns and turn their weakness into their strong point. However, with Lao Wang’s unreasonable and unusual moves, a second of carelessness was enough to make them harbor a grudge.

The Blood Demon beside him was shocked. This had not just happened because the other Blood Demon was careless. The Earthling obviously could not even fly and had not achieved the Void Core Stage. There was an upper limit to his spiritual power, so who would have imagined that he could suddenly move so quickly? The shadow was much faster than when a Void Core expert traveled at full speed.

“Despicable fellow, you ambushed me again!” The Blood Demon exploded with rage and hurriedly used his spiritual power to protect his horns from further harm before anything else.

But it was too late as the Earthling’s actions were just too fast. The Blood Demon was simply in the Foundational Stage, and his Spiritual Energy Value was probably only around 200,000. Even if he exploded with all his strength, it would only take a few minutes for Lao Wang to get rid of him…

Pa!

There was a massive ring, and the spiritual power, which had not completely displayed its defensive effects, was destroyed with one strike from Lao Wang. His power was just too fierce, and the pair of horns was almost chopped off. Blood started to flow, and the Blood Demon fainted like his comrade earlier.

The scene instantly fell silent, and Wang Zhong was somewhat speechless. They must have just been born to a good background. With these kinds of combat reflexes, he did not know how many times they would have died in other worlds.

Wang Zhong dusted his hands in disgust. As he touched the bodies of the Blood Demons, he did not forget to ask Jhonas, “Why are they so weak?”

Jhonas was speechless as well and felt somewhat numb. Was Wang Zhong too strong, or were his opponents too weak? How could this have happened? He knew these two Blood Demons. They were from aristocrat families and had potential at a young age. This time, they had been sent to the Heavenly Gates. They should not have been this weak.

“These two are probably like me and got in through the back door,” said the Flying Pig in a rather low tone, mainly because the female Void Core Seductress was still beside them. She had not attacked. Was Boss acting far too early?

The female Seductress had no plan to attack at all. Instead, she looked at Wang Zhong, who was touching the bodies of the Blood Demons, with great interest. She felt that a true expert had appeared. The Earthling attacked quickly, accurately, and fiercely. Furthermore, he had instantly finished accumulating his power. Meanwhile, the Blood Demons were used to acting and only fighting after accumulating power. They could not catch up and react immediately, and were finished off before they could display their power.

This was a characteristic of classic bottom-dwelling civilizations. Only a very few bottom-dwelling civilizations could control the spiritual power in the divine territory so quickly. It seemed easy, but in reality, this had always been the patent of high-leveled civilizations. The high-leveled civilizations were high-leveled precisely because of their affinity with the high-leveled power in the divine territory after many years thanks to their natural endowments. This human… was interesting.

“Oh, nice. There’s one for each of us.” Lao Wang simply took away two combat signs and threw one at Jhonas. Then, he stood up and looked at the female Seductress.

Lao Wang had seen this female in the Combat Cultivation Hall yesterday. However, she was not involved in the battle inside the cloth but stood in the audit area…

She was Bluesky Deese, a Pill Refinery pupil from the Seductress race!

The 100 people who had filled up the Pill Refinery Hall could not be looked down upon easily. With Lao Wang’s current level, he would not provoke this kind of person easily either, as long as they did not cause trouble for him.

Bluesky Deese did not have any intention to step up on behalf of the two Blood Demons. In fact, there was not much relation between them in the first place.

She simply liked Combat Cultivation pupils as they were robust and crude. These two Blood Demons were simply playthings she had found pleasing to the eye on the streets today. However, they were not even worth mentioning compared to Wang Zhong. Putting aside the good fight that Wang Zhong had put up in the cloth on the Violence Field, just the two simple and crude strikes against the two Blood Demons and his personality suited Bluesky Deese’s taste very well.

Seductresses liked robust males, especially those with particularly fierce souls. It was obvious that Wang Zhong was this kind of male.

“Do you want to experience double cultivation with me?” She did not even care about the unlucky Blood Demons. Instead, she laughed cheerily and looked at Wang Zhong. Techniques that involved Seductresses with other races would also involve double cultivation. There were no restrictions on the type of target. Furthermore, this was not achieving balance through intercourse between male and female, but a cultivation method where both sides would benefit. She wanted to find an interesting and strong soul. Of course, this was simply her personal hobby. Wang Zhong was her cup of tea.

It was as if her beautiful eyes had discharged electricity and seduced Jhonas’s soul. His eyes turned into slits, and he started to drool profusely as he nodded his head in a trance. However, it was obvious that no one cared about him.

Wang Zhong smiled. “I’m not interested in that.”

This clean and nimble rejection did not anger Bluesky Deese. He had completely ignored the natural charm abilities of the Seductress race. How interesting, how interesting! This was an excellent prey.

How about using force? Only lowly people would do such things. The process of conquering was the peak enjoyment that all high-leveled civilizations pursued!

“I am Bluesky Deese.” She smiled. “Handsome man, if you have second thoughts about it, you can look for me in the Pill Refinery Hall any time. I will bring you to enjoy the best of life.”

As they watched the female Seductress soar into the air and disappear, Jhonas, who was beside him, took half a minute before he recovered from his trance. Then, he let out the mournful wail of a pig.

“B—boss? Are you stupid?!” He had kept this sentence in for half an hour. In the end, his fear towards Lao Wang’s combat ability had not allowed him to withstand this silence. Jhonas jumped up. “That was a Seductress! She asked you to do double cultivation with her, but you rejected her? You rejected her?!”

“That’s not my cup of tea. It’s too casual.” Lao Wang rubbed his chin and was not particular about the impoliteness in Jhonas’s words.

Jhonas was simply speechless. “What was casual about that? From that Seductress, that was an extremely official invitation. My god, someone had actually rejected her…”

The Seductress race was not lascivious. Instead, this was the nature of their race. Furthermore, the techniques involved in double cultivation caused misunderstandings among many other races. In the divine territory and in the Heavenly Gates, receiving the favor of a Seductress was definitely not a bad thing. Their double cultivation methods did not harm others and would instead benefit each other. Many people had great riches but could not receive the favor of a Seductress, such as Jhonas himself…

“Although Seductresses are adept at conspiracies and schemes, there is really no harm being together with them. That is a win-win situation, ah! Ah ah ah!” Jhonas’s drool flowed as he panted heavily. When he looked at Wang Zhong, he felt as if he was looking at an idiot. If that Seductress was willing to do double cultivation with Jhonas, he would be willing even if his lifespan was shortened by 10 years.

“Are there no males in the Seductress race? I heard that they seduce men from other races.” Instead, Lao Wang asked a completely different question.

“…” If it were not for the fact that Wang Zhong had high combat abilities, Jhonas really wanted to slap his stupid head. “How is it seduction? You are really humiliating the cute and pure Seductress. I simply can’t stand it…”

“The Seductress race is ruled by females. There are males, but their status is very low, and they are present in small numbers… You can imagine them to be just like slaves. They are not tortured or made to do manual labor, but they are essentially forbidden to do many things. To the female Seductresses, there are not enough males from their race to go around. Thus, they have no choice but to mix their blood with other races. These females from such a great race use different means to obtain the same result of continuing their race. However, why do you make it sound like their morals are corrupt and they seduce men from other races…?”
