Chapter 176 - 176: 175: The Identity of Du Gang!
Translator: 549690339
Within the Heavenly Pride Academy, there were not only Qiankun Tower and Law Towers.
These nine towers, which were of the highest rank, were known as the Supreme Nine Towers.
Below them, there were some towers that served similar functions. These were left behind by some relatively ordinary prodigies, who might seem ordinary but were still once in a million years phenomena in the eyes of regular people.
Depending on the different ranks, they were divided into Medium Towers, Advanced Towers, and Supreme Towers.
In these rankings, there were no low-level towers because just the name alone was discouraging.
Among the three kinds of towers, the Medium Towers were usually the ones accessible to most people in the academy. They were left by the so-called Sector Lord level powerhouses and didn’t require Contribution Points, only credits. Hence, the Medium Towers were the most common ones within the academy.
The Advanced Towers were usually left behind by those who had graduated from the Heavenly Pride Academy, achieved certain accomplishments, and then returned to the academy.
Those who could leave behind an Advanced Tower were all well-known powerhouses.
Like the Law Towers belonging to the eight laws, the power of world laws often remained at the top of these towers.
The so-called world laws represented the fusion of nine territories achieved at the ninth rank of the Domain Lord Level during the advancement to the Sector Lord Level. However, to leave behind the power of world laws within a tower was something only Eternal Level powerhouses could do.
Therefore, Medium Towers were usually left behind by Sector Lord Level students of each generation.
Advanced Towers, on the other hand, were left by Eternal Level students of each generation.
The Supreme Law Towers, it was said, were left behind by eight beings even stronger than those at the Eternal Level, who left a trace of the original source of the laws…
Du Gang had 2.2 billion credits left. Instead of rushing to use them, he kept them stored, intending to study the rules of these towers.
“The Medium Tower rewards a Contribution Point after passing all nine levels…
“The Advanced Tower rewards five Contribution Points after passing all nine levels…
Upon seeing the number of people who had passed these towers, Du Gang was suddenly dumbfounded.
The number of people who had passed the Medium Towers: 15,925 people. The number of people who had passed the Advanced Towers: 135 people.
“Are the pass rates this low?”
He was somewhat shocked. After all these years, only this few people had managed to pass.
After contemplating for a while, Du Gang didn’t rush to enter the towers.
“I currently have 2.2 billion credits, almost equivalent to the value of 22 Nucleus Crystals. For others, it’s enough to cultivate to the Cosmic Peak, but for me, it’s not even enough to break through to the Cosmic Level…’
“Therefore, I should first go to the Secret Realm of the Gold Element Laws, understand the other four mysteries, and then challenge the towers!”
Soon, he figured out the optimal choices he could make at this moment.
Barabara quickly listed the Gold Element Secret Realms available.
“Gold Element Secret Realms are divided into four levels based on credits. The one with the best effects requires 100 million credits for a single entry…’
“Choose the one with the best effects!”
Du Gang laughed indulgently, “With so many credits on hand, I must use the best one!”
“Okay, are you going now?”
He nodded, “Let’s head there now. With only 27 days left before the competition starts, I need to improve my strength as much as I can!”
Knowing that among his opponents there were people with seven territories, his initial pride was instantly wiped clean.
Barabara nodded and said, “I have already made a reservation for you. Just follow the navigation to get there!”
“Du Gang is coming out!”
“Du Gang, have my babies…”
Seeing the mess of female voices yelling at the door, Du Gang was taken aback.
“What are they doing?”
Barabara sneered, “They want to mate with you…”
Du Gang’s mouth twitched, astonished at how many women had flocked around him just because of his credits…
“Wham!”
After closing the door again, Du Gang made his way to the back door.
At this moment, the back door of his dormitory was also surrounded by a group of girls.
“What a nuisance!”
Du Gang frowned slightly, no longer bothering to avoid them. He opened the door, activated the Third Transformation of soaring into the sky, and instantly turned into a streak of golden light vanishing in the blink of an eye.
With his near-speed of light velocity, it really seemed to the people outside the door like a beam of light had shot out…
Swiftly leaving the dormitory area, Du Gang then headed towards the Secret Realm area.
The Secret Realm area was concentrated in the northern part of the academy, so he was speeding northwards. With his speed, he flew for a full half hour before reaching the Secret Realm area.
After winding and turning, he came to the entrance of the top-tier Gold Element Secret Realm. It was said to be an entrance, but in fact, it was a gigantic pentagram teleportation circle.
Next to the teleportation formation, two old men were each leisurely lying on sunloungers, basking in the sun.
“Ah, do we have business coming our way?
One of the old men, with sparse hair, laughed.
Upon seeing this, Du Gang hastily went forward to greet, “Good day, teachers. I am Du Gang, a freshman. I wish to use the Secret Realm…”
He dare not show any disrespect towards these seemingly useless old men. After all, in novels, such characters are definitely important figures.
Just then, two figures abruptly appeared by them.
It was a middle-aged teacher and a young man.
The teacher first looked at Du Gang in surprise, curious about what he was doing here. But he didn’t ask too much, instead, he greeted the two old men, “Old Zhang, Old Huo, I have a student here who wants to enter the Gold Element Secret Realm…”
The old man with sparse hair waved his hand, “Alright, enough talking, do you have enough points?” “Enough!”
“Enough!”
Du Gang and the student with the teacher spoke in unison.
Old Zhang with sparse hair slowly took out two devices that resembled card readers from his storage ring, saying, “Come over and pay!”
Du Gang and the other young man hurriedly stepped forward.
Old Zhang first connected his card reader with Du Gang’s light computer.
At this moment, a sudden flash of light appeared.
[Top Newcomer! ]
Just like that, under the gaze of five people, these words shot out from Du Gang’s light computer.
Du Gang was taken aback by the sudden broadcast from his light computer, not to mention the others.
“Ho ho, it’s a guy with a title!”
Old Zhang laughed out loud. After tapping on the card reader, he said, “Du
Gang, you need to pay fifty million points…”
Then, he scanned the other student’s light computer again. This time, no light screen appeared.
“Ning Peng, you need to pay one hundred million points!”
It was now the teacher’s turn to be astonished. He asked, “Old Zhang, why are their prices different?” He pointed at Du Gang as he spoke.
This time, the other old man, Old Huo, who was still lying down, stood up and said blandly, “Didn’t you see his title? Top Newcomer!”
“Huh?”
The teacher was stunned and asked, “Was this title granted by the academy?” He had thought it was a plaything the student had created on his own.
Old Zhang laughed, “If not, who else could have given it besides the academy? Who else would have the authority to make such changes? Besides, this half-price access to the Secret Realm, apart from the academy, I certainly have no right to offer such a deal!”
Upon hearing this, both the teacher and the student, Ning Peng, were shocked. “Top Newcomer, did the freshmen have a contest?”
Seeing the teacher looking at him, Du Gang explained with a faint smile, “Something like that, I used three days to win one hundred and sixty thousand matches before I got this title!”
“What?!”
Ning Peng immediately revealed a horrified expression, staring unblinkingly at Du Gang.
Noticing that they had further queries, Du Gang hurriedly said, “Teacher, may I enter now?” He didn’t have the time to discuss the authenticity of the news with them. Rather than wasting time, its better to start practicing as soon as possible.
Old Huo nodded, “Good, the young man is very motivated!”
Having said this, he and Old Zhang went to the side of the pentagram teleportation formation and said again, “You two, come to the middle of this teleportation formation!”
Upon seeing this, Du Gang and Ning Peng quickly moved forward.
The two old men began to operate the teleportation formation, saying, “Inside, according to the distance from the broken sword, the concentration of the Gold Element Law varies. Do not get too close. Based on your cultivation, you can use one hundred meters as a base, for each additional Domain, you can go a hundred meters further before starting to cultivate…”
“Broken Sword?”
Amidst Du Gang’s confusion, the two old men simultaneously activated the teleportation formation.
“Whoosh!”
Immediately after a flash of pentagram light, the two people standing on it disappeared in an instant.
When Du Gang opened his eyes again, he was already in the Secret Realm.
The first thing he saw was a black long sword reaching into the sky, piercing straight into heaven.
“Is this the Broken Sword?”
As he looked at the giant black sword, Du Gang was astonished, “Does that mean the gold-element laws come from this sword?”
At this time, Ning Peng beside him just glanced at Du Gang and started to walk forward by himself. In a while, he had walked a distance of more than ten meters.
Du Gang watched his retreating figure and mused, “Does what Old Zhang said about not going beyond limits mean not to get too close to that Broken Sword?”
With this thought, he also began to walk towards the direction of the Broken Sword.
sure enough, as ne moved, the gold-element laws around mm became more robust.
Just like that, one in front and the other behind, they walked around eight hundred steps. Ning Peng at the front then sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to cultivate.
“The seventh level of Domain?”
Seeing this, Du Gang was secretly shocked, but he also walked the same eight hundred meters, but a bit further from Ning Peng, and started cultivating.
Ning Peng saw that he walked the same distance as him, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. However, he didn’t say anything and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Du Gang cultivated for a while, then opened his eyes again.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s working.”
He was a bit confused as his cultivation didn’t feel any different from usual.
Looking at Ning Peng in the distance, he realized that he had already fully immersed himself in a cultivation state.
“Could it be that I’m too far away from the ground?”
With this thought, Du Gang quickly got up without disturbing Ning Peng and continued to move towards the direction of the Broken Sword.
Outside the Secret Realm.
After Old Zhang and Master Huo had finished setting up the teleportation array, they returned to the lounge chairs to relax.
Seeing that the teacher was still standing there, Old Zhang said, “Teacher
Huang, that student called Ning Peng, he has special blood vessels, doesn’t
Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang laughed and said, “Old Zhang, you have a good eye. Ning Peng does have the Golden Peng bloodline. Although it is only a third class bloodline, it has a natural affinity for gold-element laws.”
“Hmm!”
Old Zhang nodded and said, “In that case, he should be able to go a hundred meters further.”
“One hundred meters?”
Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang laughed and said, “Old Zhang, Ning Peng has reached the seventh level of the Domain. Do you think he could go to the one thousand meter position?”
“One thousand meters, absolutely impossible!”
At this time, Master Huo shook his head and said, “The level of gold-element laws in the air at one hundred meters and one thousand meters is not the same. With his cultivation base, he can’t withstand it!”
“Sigh!”
Teacher Huang sighed, “I wonder what kind of person can cultivate right in front of the Broken Sword.”
“If one wants to cultivate under the Broken Sword, I guess we won’t be able to see such a person in our lifetime.”
Old Zhang shook his head and laughed, “I watched Luo Shan go into this Secret Realm. When he was a student, he only walked about one hundred thousand meters, which is still a long way from the Broken Sword.”
Hearing him mention Luo Shan, Teacher Huang immediately showed reverence and asked, “Old Zhang, I have heard that senior Luo Shan came back here to visit. Did he say what this Broken Sword is?”
Old Zhang didn’t mind his curiosity and laughed, “Specifically, with Luo Shan’s cultivation, it’s impossible for us to hear. However, from his expression, I sensed a sigh.”
Inside the Secret Realm, Du Gang quickly walked to a distance of two thousand meters and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
After quite a while, he opened his eyes again.
“What’s going on? Is it ineffective for me?”
He was a bit stunned. Could it be that his affinity was too strong, and the distance he covered earlier wasn’t a challenge for him?
He looked back, and Ning Peng was still cultivating at the eight hundred meters position.
“Whatever, I’ll keep going. I can’t lose fifty million points just like that!”
With that thought, he continued towards the direction of the Broken Sword.
In a while, he reached a ten thousand meters distance, where he finally felt a very active gold-element law element around him.
“Sure enough, was I too far away?
Du Gang immediately let out a breath of relief and continued to move forward without stopping.
He understood that as a Sacred Body, his capacity to shoulder a challenge level was different from ordinary people, and it was unnecessary to follow the standard set by ordinary people.
And so, he went twenty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters, forty thousand meters…
Only when he reached a distance of a hundred thousand meters did he finally feel some pressure, as if he would shatter if he continued to move downwards.
“How could this happen, I am an Ancient God!”
Du Gang found this absurd. The elements of the Gold Law were all uncontrolled, so would his body really crumble just because of them?
He tried to take another step forward.
“Puff!”
A bloody gash immediately appeared on Du Gang’s leg.
With just this step, the originally calm Gold Law elements seemed to come alive. From ordinary farmers, they turned into soldiers with sharp blades, attacking Du Gang.
“Thump!”
Seeing this, he quickly retracted his leg. Looking at the wound on his leg that was still profusely bleeding, his face was filled with horror. “Even with my Ancient God body, I can’t move forward!”
Not only that, “The wound actually isn’t healing!”
To his surprise, Du Gang discovered that the Gold Law that had cut him seemed toxic, continually preventing his body from healing itself.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly pulled out a Green Bud Fruit. With a slight force, he crushed it and applied it to the wound.
This time, the wound that was originally filled with a murderous aura from the Gold element began to slowly heal. The Gold element, which appeared weak but was exceptionally strong, gradually disappeared.
“It’s a good thing it didn’t go deep!”
It took an entire Green Bud Fruit to recover the wound, which made Du Gang feel fortunate.
“Forget it, I will cultivate here!”
Rather than ponder over these incomprehensible things, he could make good use of his time by practicing.
Therefore, Du Gang sat cross-legged at this hundred-thousand-meter point and began his cultivation.
This time, he entered the state of cultivation after a brief moment. Clearly, the practicing effect here was excellent, and he immersed himself in it.
Outside the Secret Realm.
“The youngster who just become the strongest newcomer only has the fifth level of domain power…”
At this moment, Teacher Huang, who had just checked the relevant information, cried out in surprise.
“Hehe, I sensed it earlier!”
Old Zhang smiled faintly, “That youngster isn’t simple, he possesses nine mysteries within his body, but only the Gold element has five…”
Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang was startled. Old Zhang had a unique physique and could sense the mysteries within others, hence he believed him.
Curious, he asked, “Old Zhang, how far do you think that Du Gang can go? Can he surpass Ning Peng?”
Old Zhang laughed, “As I said earlier, Ning Peng’s limit is nine hundred meters…”
“As for Du Gang…”
He shook his head, “To be honest, I detected a strong bloodline power within him, which means he should have a stronger bloodline lineage. So, he should be slightly stronger than Ning Peng…”
“Hiss-I”
Teacher Huang sucked in a breath of cold air. According to Old Zhang, could Du Gang be a second or even first-grade bloodline?
He felt a bit incredulous, but Old Zhang wasn’t one to make unfounded claims. “Old Zhang, are you suggesting that he might last for 14 minutes?”
In the Secret Realm, a person’s stay is not indefinite but calculated according to the distance covered.
Normal calculation allows for one second for every meter crossed. Ning Peng, having traversed eight hundred meters, thus earned himself eight hundred seconds.
“14 minutes…
Old Zhang pondered for a moment and shook his head, “I can’t make an accurate prediction. He might last a bit longer, maybe 15 or 16 minutes…”
Upon hearing Old Zhang’s words, Teacher Huang heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Old Zhang didn’t say 17 minutes. Otherwise, it would have been too terrifying.
Because 17 minutes would mean that Du Gang could traverse a thousand meters. Such an extent wouldn’t be considered merely a genius…
14 minutes passed in a flash. While the three of them were chatting casually, Ning Peng’s figure slowly appeared in the transport array.
“Teacher, Old Zhang, Old Huo!”
Ning Peng was very polite. As soon as he emerged, he greeted them first.
Teacher Huang nodded, “Come here!”
Ning Peng came over upon hearing this.
After waiting for a while and noticing that Teacher Huang had yet to leave, he asked in confusion, “Teacher?”
Teacher Huang smiled, “Let’s wait a little longer, let’s see how long Du Gang can last!”
“He hasn’t come out yet?”
Ning Peng was taken aback, then showed a surprised expression. “That’s right, he hasn’t come out yet!”
Upon hearing the teacher’s affirmation, Ning Peng’s body shuddered.
When he opened his eyes, he didn’t see Du Gang around, and thought that man had already left. He had no idea that Du Gang hadn’t come out yet.
At this time, Teacher Huang seemed to think of something, and asked with a smile, “Didn’t you see Du Gang inside?”
Ning Peng shook his head, “No, I started cultivating when I reached eight hundred meters. I saw him at the same position, but when I advanced to nine hundred meters, he was no longer there…”
The teacher nodded, “Then he probably went around to other places, let’s wait. He should come out within a minute…
After waiting for a minute, everyone’s smiles gradually disappeared, and their brows began to furrow slightly.
“There’s 40 seconds until 1000 seconds, he should come out then!”
Teacher Huang and Ning Peng, both wore shocked expressions looking at Old Zhang, who looked baffled and amazed.
Old Huo, who was originally lying comfortably, slowly stood up at this moment.
“He surpassed 1000 seconds, that means, the distance he traveled is more than one thousand meters!”
Teacher Huang said, “He can’t last long, over a thousand meters, the strong elemental Laws alone could cause his body to collapse…”
“He should come out soon!”
In the Secret Realm.
Du Gang had never felt so refreshed before, all the Gold Elements were floating around him, he couldn’t see them, but he could feel them.
At this moment, he was like a traveler in the desert who had finally found dew, he was frantically absorbing the surrounding Gold Elements.
The mystery of the Gold Elements was constantly pouring into his sea of consciousness.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been turned into a idiot by these wild and vast Laws by now.
But Du Gang didn’t. At this moment, although he felt his Mental Power was constantly being consumed, his comprehension of the mystery of the Gold Elements was constantly rising.
Furthermore, every time his Mental power was consumed more than half, the Nucleus Crystal would very conscientiously rotate quickly once, and then, a new tier of Mental power would appear!
It wasn’t just the Nucleus Crystal’s merit, his unique consciousness was also a factor. Each time the Mental power was consumed, with the rotation of the Nucleus Crystal, a mysterious area in his consciousness would constantly give birth to new Mental power.
One could imagine that after this cultivation, his Mental power would be greatly enhanced.
Outside the Secret Realm.
“20 minutes have passed, if we convert it into the distance, it’s already over eighteen hundred meters!”
Teacher Huang was somewhat inarticulate as she looked at Old Zhang, hoping to hear something from him.
Old Zhang’s face showed a mix of excitement and unease, “Over a thousand meters. We haven’t seen such a genius in hundreds of thousands of years, have
Old Huo frowned, “Could something unexpected happen?
He, like Old Zhang, also had some sensing abilities. By his estimation, Du Gang should have reached 999 meters at most. But so much time had passed already.
Hearing this, Old Zhang’s initial excitement gradually faded, and his face wrinkled up, “Unexpected…”
“Let’s apply for internal vision!”
Old Huo exchanged a glance with him and said heavily, “Alright!”
Very quickly, the two of them took out their Light Computers and quickly contacted the upper levels of the academy.
In a short while, after receiving the authorization, they both quickly took out a disk and began to cast a spell.
Not long after, the scenery inside the Secret Realm gradually appeared on the disk.
“Positioning!”
With a whisper from Old Zhang, the image on the disk began to rush quickly inside, moving at an extremely high speed towards the Broken Sword.
1000 meters!
2000 meters!
3000 meters!
Amidst the astonished expressions of everyone, the image in the disk was still moving further inside.
“This… could it be, he could reach four or five thousand meters?”
As soon as Teacher Huang’s speculation came out, the image in the light disk had already passed five thousand meters and continued to move in.
At this moment, the four of them were all stunned speechless, they could only watch the image continuously move inward with their eyes tightly fixed on it.
Finally, when the image crossed nine thousand meters, Teacher Huang couldn’t hold it in anymore and shuddered, “He… he couldn’t be… at the ten-thousand-meter mark, could he?”
Ten thousand meters, that’s the distance Luo Shan could reach!
You have to know, Luo Shan is the greatest genius of the Qiankun continent in ten million years.
Could Du Gang be on par with Luo Shan?
In this way, amidst everyone’s anxiety, the image quickly approached the ten-thousand-meter mark at a rapid pace.
9800 meters!
9900 meters!
“Where is he? Why haven’t we seen him yet?”
The crowd was a little panicked. They were already nearing the ten-thousand-meter mark, but they haven’t seen Du Gang yet.
Finally, they reached ten thousand meters!
“What the!”
“Where is he?!!”
All four were wide-eyed, appearing incredulous.
However, at this moment, the image in the light disc directly went past ten thousand meters and continued to move inward!
“How is this possible?!
This time, even Old Huo, who had been very calm previously, couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Over ten thousand meters, is he more talented than Luo Shan?”
No one could answer him. It was their first time seeing such a situation. Old Zhang, shivering, stammered, “Old… Old Huo, should we… contact the higher-ups?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Old Huo couldn’t keep his calm anymore. This was beyond ten thousand meters. Just comparing to where Luo Shan had been, it was already enough to shake the world.
Soon, Old Zhang connected the call to Dean Tang Ren of Tianjiao Academy.
“What’s the matter, Old Zhang?”
Dean Tang Ren, a somewhat plump elder with a ruddy and glossy complexion, asked in a robust voice.
Old Zhang quickly said, “Dean, a student has surpassed the ten-thousand-meter mark in the Broken Sword Secret Realm…’
“Hmm?”
Tang Ren was a bit shocked, and then examined the situation on the light disc.
“Ten thousand meters…”
“Damn!”
Even from afar, they all can hear the sudden surprise in his voice.
“Wait for me, I’m coming over immediately!”
The call ended right after his words. Immediately, without waiting for more than ten seconds, a spaceship suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Tang Ren canceled the barrier obstructing the space nodes and directly drove the spaceship through.
Without even having the time to collect his spaceship, he immediately took a step towards the light disk, his eyes fixated on the image.
At the same time, he incessantly asked, “What’s going on? What’s the situation? Who’s in there? Where is he now?”
At this point, the image had already reached a distance of twenty thousand meters.
“Twenty thousand meters, this is unheard of!”
Tang Ren, watching the image in the light disk, was excited. He quickly pulled out his light computer and made a quick contact.
“Implement a first level alert in secret, subtly tighten security, seal off the Secret Realm area, block off the networks in this area, and dispatch the shadow guards to take over the defense…”
Soon, he issued a series of commands.
Seeing the serious attitude of the Dean, Teacher Huang was a bit flustered. As one of the witnesses, would he be silenced?
Although the likelihood was small, he couldn’t help but wonder…
“Dean, could the light disk be malfunctioning?
Tang Ren immediately refuted, “Impossible, this is reinforced by an Eternal Level power… um, when Luo Shan had just broken through to the Eternal Level, he came back to strengthen these things. They are all enchanted with the laws, there’s no way they can break…”
As they talked, the image inside the Secret Realm had almost reached fifty thousand meters.
“Fifty thousand meters…”
Tang Ren seemed to suddenly recall something and spoke, “I remember hearing Luo Shan say that normally, very few people can cross ten thousand meters, they tend to be like dormant beasts. But those who can cross have unique physiques, so those who manage to venture into fifty thousand meters here must have at least a Sacred Body…”
Old Huo widened his eyes and quickly asked, “Principal, did Luo Shan ever tell you what kind of physique it takes to exceed fifty thousand meters??”
Everyone was gaping, watching the scenes inside the disc cross fifty thousand meters and continue to move forward.
“A god… a godly body?”
Ning Peng stammered.
As soon as he said it, Tang Ren directly denied it.
“Impossible, those with godly bodies are descendants of human ancestors, typically residing in the cosmic center, how could possibly exist here?!”
The others were startled, they had heard of godly bodies, but they did not understand the specifics. According to the principal’s explanation, they came to understand.
“Principal, so you’re talking about a godly body?”
Seeing several people asking, Tang Ren somberly responded, “Actually, I heard about it from Tang Ren. You guys know, I was his homeroom teacher back then, we had a good relationship..
“He said that the cosmic center is a colorful and splendid realm, where Sector
Lords are abundant and Eternals are as common as stray dogs…”
“There happen to be numerous special races…”
“In the outside world, the godly bodies and sacred bodies that can never be seen, but they are everywhere in the cosmic center…”
“It is said that these godly bodies are all descendants of human sages who have contributed to the entire human civilization. They have achieved remarkable feats for this cosmos and hence, they were granted to their posterity by the cosmos…”
“He did say that these races, they are all the hegemonic level existences of the cosmic center, some of them can even compete with the Big Four companies…”
Everyone present in the scene sucked in a breath of cold air as shock took over their faces.
Competitive against the Big Four companies?
How could that be possible!
The Big Four companies have influence over the entire cosmos and indirectly rule it, all the cosmic countries are cradles for cultivating the strong, after all…
Although they hardly dared to believe it, these words came out of Tang Ren’s mouth, there was definitely no falsehood.
Because Luo Shan, thousands of years ago, was brought to the cosmic center in advance by the Virtual Cosmos Company due to his outstanding talent. Where he came from could hardly be fabricated.
“Seventy thousand meters!”
Ning Peng exclaimed.
Everyone again voiced their astonishment.
Tang Ren solemnly said, “This… might truly be a godly body!”
He exchanged a glance with everyone and nodded, “Only the explanation of a godly body stands. The person inside could quite possibly be from the cosmic center…”
Speaking of this, he promptly asked, “Who is the person waiting inside?”
Old Zhang quickly said, “Du Gang, he’s a newcomer, reportedly the strongest King of Newcomers!”
Tang Ren quickly pulled up Du Gang’s information for review.
“Sixteen thousand victories in three days?”
Then he checked Du Gang’s earlier records; his eyebrows knitted together tightly.
Because he realized that, compared to Du Gang’s record since entering the academy, his previous records were utterly ordinary!
The so-called third domain is indeed on par with the fourth domain through speed, this kind of power doesn’t count for anything in Qiankun Continent. There are even cases here, where fighters from the sixth domain truly defeated and conquer those from the seventh domain.
Shortly, once again he examined all Du Gang’s operations in the academy. After realizing the situation of his use of points for exchange, he was left stunned.
“He actually spent nine hundred million points, exchanging them for ninety thousand Stellar Crystals!”
“What?”
The crowd expressed surprise, they had no Imowledge of the situation. Only the principal had the ability to investigate the situation of points exchange.
Tang Ren ignored them and rapidly reviewed Du Gang’s previous levels and his level right before entering the Secret Realm.
As a third-generation Light Computer, it has the capacity to monitor its users’ level at any time.
Because of this, he very intuitively saw that before the challenge, Du Gang was only at Stellar Level Rank One.
And just before entering the Secret Realm, having exchanged for ninety thousand Stellar Crystals, his level had reached Stellar Level Ninth Rank! “Ninety thousand Stellar Crystals, from Stellar Level Rank One to Ninth Rank..”
Tang Ren muttered to himself for a moment before stating with a grave expression, “There’s no doubt about it, Du Gang is truly a Godly Body!”
“Luo Shan had once told me that compared with ordinary people, godly bodies have a comprehensive advantage, not only in terms of talent, qualifications, and characteristics, but also in aspects such as the upper limit of absorbing energy and ultimate perception abilities, these are all thousands of times higher than for ordinary people…”
“For normal people, after absorbing nine Stellar Crystals, they would advance from Stellar Level Rank One to Stellar Level Ninth Rank. Even if they wanted to absorb one bit more, it wouldn’t be possible, their bodies can’t take any more!”
“Yet Du Gang spent a full ninety thousand Stellar crystals to go from Stellar Level Rank One to Stellar Level Ninth Rank. Hence, he truly is a Godly Body!”
At this time, the other vice-presidents and several high-ranking academy officials had all arrived.
Taking advantage of the ongoing footage in the disc, Tang Ren quickly explained the situation to everyone.
Immediately, a collective gasp could be heard at the revelation.
At this point, a quick-witted vice-president stared at Teacher Huang and Ning Peng with a hostile gaze.
“President, these two…’
Tang Ren frowned, “One is our teacher, the other is our student, what do you want to do?”
The vice-president in charge of discipline immediately fell silent.
Then another vice-president stepped forward and said, “Let’s worry about these issues later. Anyway, the internet here is blocked, the main issue now is this Sacred Body!”
“Did he come here voluntarily, or was he forced…”
“Did he come from inside the center of the universe, or from the periphery of the universe…”
Those who served as vice-presidents certainly had rich experience. They shared their hypotheses about the appearance of the Sacred Body in the Qiankun mainland.
Once these words were out, everyone in the room grew tense.
Tang Ren shook his head, saying, “I don’t think there will be any enemies chasing after him.. ”
“I’ve asked Luo Shan before, what would happen if those powerful beings from the universe center traveled to other cosmic nations…”
“He said that people from the universe center essentially would not leave that area, or in other words, apart from the people from the four major universe companies, the local inhabitants of the universe center would not leave!” Ning Peng, surprised, reflexively asked, “Why?”
The second he spoke, he regretted it. Such a question, surely the president wouldn’t know the answer to.
Who knew, Tang Ren actually answered: “I understand from Luo Shan, in the eyes of these locals, outsiders are incomplete. They will not casually leave the universe center to venture into the universe, it was as if they feared dirt, they were strongly averse to leaving the universe center…”
“Ninety thousand meters!”
Just at that moment, Ning Peng exclaimed again.
Everyone’s attention returned to the screen.
This time, no one idly chatted, they all focused their attention on the disc. “Does reaching a hundred thousand meters mean he is a Sacred Body?”
Tang Ren wanted to say that surpassing fifty thousand meters had already indicated he was stronger than a Sacred Body, but until the last moment, before seeing the actual person, he dared not confirm.
Everyone watched closely, wanting to witness the scene, to see if the final image would stop on a person.
Eventually, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the image inside the disc finally flew to a position of one hundred thousand meters.
In the image, a handsome young man dressed in a blood-red armor sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly cultivating.
Around him, visible to the naked eye, killing intent and fragments of mysterious laws fluttered in the air.
“He’s really there!”
When they saw him in person, their excitement actually died down and the room fell into a calm silence.
“Being able to cultivate in such a place, it’s undoubtedly a Sacred Body!”
Quickly, Tang Ren ordered: “All of us should now look at all of Du Gang’s online
footage to find out what kind of person he is…”
As for tracing his roots, it was no longer necessary. Du Gang’s personal information showed that he had arrived at White Dragon Mountain via the preliminary and intermediate pre-selection competitions from the Milky Way Galaxy, and after completing the final competition, he finally advanced to this stage.
As for his combat record, it was not impressive. What shocked everyone was his age.
“119 years old, this age…”
Everyone exchanged glances.
If one were to only look at his battle record and experience, it’s indeed unremarkable, but taking his age into consideration, he seemed exceptionally outstanding.
As time passed, they found quite a lot of Du Gang’s videos.
Suddenly, Tang Ren realized something, “Wait, isn’t it usually normal Sector Lord Levels who send these disciples to Qiankun mainland? Why did Yan Xiong come?!”
Quickly, everyone understood.
“Yan Xiong knows Du Gang’s identity!”
Soon after, Tang Ren dialed Yan Xiong’s number.
“So, you finally decided to call?”
Upon appearing, Yan Xiong laughed, “President, to wait for your call, I didn’t go back to White Dragon Mountain… I’ve waited for three days, you finally called!”
Just as expected!
Tang Ren took a deep breath and directly said, “Yan Xiong, tell me about the specifics of Du Gang!”
Yan Xiong gently smiled and replied, “Mr. President, I’d like to enter the core sector of the underground divination area.. You know, I’m only one step away from becoming a Sector Lord…”
