Du Gang stood there, bathed in blood, turned his head towards the seven people at a distance, revealing a faint smile.
“Who will fight me?”
His blood thirsty eyes moved freely, if not for his steadfastness, anyone who gets stared at in such a manner would surely crumble instantaneously.
Those present who could obtain the title of the strongest naturally possessed an unwavering determination and were not affected.
Listening to Du Gang’s voice, a man holding a spear was slightly moved because he too was a spear user.
At this time, Ba Dao took the initiative to step forward, laughed and said, “Blood Armor Gold Spear, let the two of us fight!”
“Half a month ago, we were supposed to have a fight, but we missed it because it was too early, now it’s time to make up for that battle!”
Hearing that these two had met before, the spearman paused in his steps and looked at the others, saying, “Who will fight me?”
Soon, a man wielding two knives also stood up.
And so, two by two, the remaining eight strongest fighters all found their respective opponents.
The eight of them very synchronously moved apart, creating sufficient space in four areas to start their battles.
“Bang!”
Du Gang stomped on the ground hard, causing cracks to appear instantaneously. His body flashed, and in a blink of an eye, he came face to face with Ba Dao.
“Kill!
The bellow accompanied the thrusting of the spear.
“Bang!”
Ba Dao reacted quickly, just as Du Gang’s spear was about to hit him, he slashed with his knife blocking his attack.
“What a hard spear!”
Taking on that spear, even Ba Dao felt somewhat drained of strength at this moment.
But Du Gang did not stop attacking.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
The spear in his hand spun and flipped in the air with agility.
And Ba Dao was unyielding, his blade as fast as lightning, he was able to block all of Du Gang’s attacks.
“Hahaha, exhilarating!”
Ba Dao, who has not met a match in ages, laughed out loud.
“Thunder God Incarnate!”
With a loud yell, Ba Dao’s body was abruptly covered in electric light, surrounded by flashes of lightning, causing the surroundings within thousands of miles to tremble.
Even Du Gang felt a sense of impending crisis amidst these electric currents.
“Kill!
Yelling again, this time Ba Dao seized the initiative, switched from defense to offense, and once again clashed with Du Gang.
“Look. look. Du Gang’s ranking has risen again!”
“Just now he was beyond thirty thousand, in a moment, he jumped to the twenty-thousand ranks!”
“Yes, it seems he’s not far from Hu Tu and the others!”
Within the Qiankun cosmic nation, as Du Gang kept rising in the ranking, more and more people began to notice him, and started to focus on him.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang! ”
As the air becomes increasingly imbued with the element of thunder, Ba Dao’s attacks become faster and faster to the point where for every nine spears Du Gang thrusts, Ba Dao counters with ten knife strikes.
The roles of offense and defense begin to shift as Du Gang’s attacks predominantly switch to defense.
In defense to the end, failure is inevitable!
Du Gang inwardly panicked, he can’t keep defending, otherwise he won’t win!
What to do?
The only way to counterattack and win is to transform into a giant and use the Sky-breaking Strike.
No, I can’t rely too much on my body, sooner or later I will end up just like the former Ancient God Du Kang, living due to the Ancient God’s body and dying by the Ancient God’s body.
So, how can I counterattack without transforming?
First, advance from the sixth Domain to the seventh Domain!
Second, break through from the Micro Insight Realm to the Knowing Micro Realm in the understanding of the Laws!
If any of these two breakthroughs happens then there’s a possibility of turning defeat into victory!
From the sixth to the seventh?
Du Gang shook his head in denial, no, his seventh Gold Element Law has not yet begun training, it’s had only one percent progress, he definitely won’t be able to break through in the midst of battle.
So…Knowing Micro Realm!
The realm that he spent a full 17 days trying to comprehend in the Wuzheng Tower, what if he enters that state…
Du Gang suddenly remembered that he had previously entered a mysterious state of Dao Enlightenment during a battle.
“Focus!”
“Focus!”
While dealing with Ba Dao’s attacks, he quickly adjusted himself to try and enter that state.
“Whew-at’
Unbeknownst to him, Du Gang had lost consciousness, his eyes full of confusion.
“What’s going on?!”
Ba Dao’s eyes were filled with horror, “Enlightenment Realm?! ”
He was shocked!
As a genius, he was lucky enough to have entered the Enlightenment Realm once, which allowed him to break through directly from the Microscopic Realm to the Seeing-Through Realm.
Du Gang’s current state was just like being in the Enlightenment Realm.
“Entering the Enlightenment Realm during a fight?” Ba Dao envied, “Such a talent is truly terrifying!”
However…
“I won’t let you succeed!”
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Ba Dao began unleashing lightning attacks again, wildly attacking.
But, it was useless!
Du Gang’s body moved as if guided by divine grace, evading every attack perfectly.
“Terrifying! ”
The more he fought, the more Ba Dao felt fear!
Different from his tranquil state when entering the Enlightenment Realm, Du Gang’s state of enlightenment seemed to be induced by combat. It not only allowed him to comprehend certain things but also provided self-protection!
“I don’t believe it!”
Ba Dao was going mad. As a proud talent, why was someone else so much more powerful than him?
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” Ba Dao roared madly.
Each attack was his most powerful.
At this moment, he had completely gone mad, only attacking and not defending!
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
The relentless attacks and the powerful shockwaves drew the attention of the other three battling pairs.
“Are they that powerful?!”
The other six were astonished; they hadn’t expected the two opponents to fight with such intensity.
Moreover, what was more incredible was that after fighting for so long, there was still no decisive winner between Ba Dao and Blood Armor Gold Spear. Their strengths seemed to be equal.
“Incredible!”
The other six, after their brief astonishment, resumed their battle.
They also went crazy!
Perhaps inspired by Ba Dao and Du Gang, they too began fighting frenziedly at this moment.
“Fight!” “Fight!” “Fight!”
Everyone began attacking with full force, uncaringly displaying whatever secret techniques they had to enhance their abilities.
At this moment, those hiding on the outskirts of the city, shocked by the terrifying fluctuations emanating from within, realized that the strongest in the city were fighting each other!
“Run!”
“Run while they’re too busy to stop us!”
In an instant, all the survivors fled the city.
As they fled towards other cities, they carried with them tales of the legendary battles, including the story of the final showdown initiated by Blood Armor Gold Spear.
No one knew how long it had been; the victors in the battlefield’s center progressively emerged.
Three flashes of white light indicated three victors, but the duel between Ba Dao and Blood Armor Gold Spear continued.
While recovering, the three watched the ongoing battle.
“These two guys are really strong!”
“Yes, they are!”
The three exchanged glances, a certain indescribable feeling lingering amongst them.
“Boom!”
As Ba Dao crazily struck again…
“Bang!”
An unexpected thing happened.
The move he had launched was blocked by Du Gang’s spear.
“You!”
Raising his head, Ba Dao noticed that the confusion in Du Gang’s eyes had disappeared, replaced by a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“Did you advance?”
With bitterness, trepidation, and a complex mix of emotions, Ba Dao asked aloud.
Smiling, Du Gang slowly nodded, “Yes, I have reached the Seeing-Through Realm.’
As expected!
Ba Dao’s pupils contracted as he sighed inwardly.
I couldn’t beat Du Gang even when he hadn’t reached the Into the Microscopic realm, now that he has…
“Come on, give me your strongest strike, put me to an end!”
At this point, Ba Dao had thought it through and wasn’t struggling anymore. He just wanted to witness the last moment.
Du Gang smiled and nodded, “Alright!”
His expression gradually grew serious, and his spear-wielding hand rose slowly.
His movements were slow, resembling the practice of Tai Chi.
“Strongest strike, Sky-breaking Strike!”
As he spoke calmly, a seemingly very bland attack was slowly launched.
“Boom!”
The spear attack was very understated, so much so that Ba Dao couldn’t resist and disappeared on the spot.
“Whoosh!”
With a flash of white light, the match came to an end. Du Gang won!
Just then — “Attack! ”
The three spectators surrounding them attacked Du Gang at the same time in great sync.
Now that the balance was broken, they would naturally not surrender willingly, wanting to join forces to kill Du Gang before determining the winner.
But it was already too late!
If they had acted when Du Gang hadn’t reached the Into the Microscopic realm, they might have had a chance, but not anymore!
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”
With a casual lift of his spear, Du Gang blocked their attacks in only three moves.
Then, in a position from which the trio couldn’t evade, he launched three more attacks.
“Thud!” “Thud!” “Thud!”
The three of them widened their eyes in shock and stared at Du Gang. Their eyes were filled with regret and astonishment.
“Breaking through in the midst of battle is terrifying!”
After saying these words, the man holding the long spear eventually took his last breath.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
As three flashes of white light swept by, the competition was finally over!
Out of the nine strongest people in this city, only Du Gang was left. The others were all dead!
Although their points were reduced due to multiple deductions, Du Gang still managed to make it into the top ten thousand! [Competitor: Du Gang, Points: 14523534]
Looking at his rankings, Du Gang shook his head, “I can’t believe I’m the strongest in this city, yet I’m still not ranked first in this planet!” “It seems I should leave this place and venture out into other cities!”
With this thought in mind, he quickly expanded his mental power, encompassing the entire globe.
If I’m going to do it, I should aim for the top!
This time, Du Gang intended to strive for the first place!
He wanted to show those who wanted to harm him his real strength!
At the sixty-eighth competing star.
After Hu Tu killed another opponent, he finally had time to rest.
The competition at the brink of the ten thousand rank was indeed too intense. One moment of carelessness and he might fall out.
At this point, he had finally reached the top ten thousand rank.
Hu Tu couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“It feels so good to be in the top ten thousand ranks…’
Before he finished his words, his rank suddenly changed again. He vanished from the top ten thousand and dropped to ten thousand and one!
“Damn it, I fell out again!”
“Extra, extra, Du Gang climbed into the top ten thousand ranks again!”
“Du Gang, who had been silent for eighteen days, played his hand again and reached the top ten thousand!”
“The believed-to-be-dead Du Gang reappeared and managed to secure a good result in the top ten thousand!”
The whole Pangu Continent was filled with news about Du Gang.
However, having the experience of being kicked out of the top ten thousand before, this time, people were sceptical about Du Gang.
“What’s the situation with him? Will he get kicked out again?”
“That’s right, what was the meaning behind him dropping out before?
However, some clever people laughed and said, “Obviously, at the beginning, the points gained by killing were too few, and Du Gang couldn’t be bothered to act, so he just rested.”
“Now, halfway through the competition, everyone’s points have gathered, so Du Gang goes out to steal points. It’s that simple!”
At this moment, Wu Tao, who was in the Tianjiao Academy, looked at Du Gang, who had once again rushed into the top ten thousand, and fell silent.
“Clearly, he didn’t use all his strength in our previous battle!”
“The same first-year, yet there are two people who are so much stronger than me!”
He was referring to Du Gang and Qiao Jin, with Qiao Jin currently ranking higher than Du Gang, reaching 33rd!
If the two of them were second-year students, he wouldn’t be so affected. After all, being a second-year student meant they had an extra five thousand years of cultivation. But they were not second-year students!
“Huh!”
Wu Tao shook his head, “Before, I was contemplating whether to enter the
Death Secret Realm in my family, but now it seems…”
At this moment, he decided to return to his family, participate in the death trials, either emerges the strongest of the generation or die trying!
On this day, everyone was unaware that Wu Tao had quietly left the academy, making a decision hard for ordinary people to make.
After all, even if he was not as good as Du Gang and Qiao Jin, he, Wu Tao, deserved to be the third best newcomer!
But now, he was marching towards death!
The Death Secret Realm, a place of nine deaths and one life, anyone who ventures in must do so with the resolve to die, only then is there a glimmer of hope to come out alive!
Standing at the gate of the academy, Wu Tao took a last look at Du Gang’s dormitory and murmured, “Du Gang, if I make it out, we will meet again, but if I don’t, I will just be a passerby in your life…”
With that, he resolutely left the academy and headed towards his family.
Planet number six in the competition.
Qiao Jin’s entire body stood on a golden shuttle, surrounded by countless tiny swords, setting off for another city.
Behind him was a completely empty city!
He, too, had accomplished the task of slaughtering an entire city!
And his score was higher than Du Gang’s, because most of his points came from solely his own efforts, while Du Gang’s points came from three to seven hundred hands.
“Still not in the top hundred, there are quite a few strong competitors, it seems, I should unlock another ten percent of my seal…”
Qiao Jin murmured to himself, looking at his decreasing rank, his body suddenly shuddered.
The next second, a more powerful mental wave emanated from within him.
After Du Gang covered the entire planet with his mental power.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
In an instant, like poking a hornet’s nest, all parts of the cities on the planet released a pressure in response to him.
At this moment, everyone on the planet was going mad.
Someone was actually challenging the foremost fighters of the planet!
At this moment, Du Gang’s mental power was seen as a challenge by others!
It was a challenge!
“A challenge for you all?”
Du Gang laughed coldly, “Just wait, I’ll kill you all soon!”
Then, he flew towards the nearest city.
Inside this city, only two of the strongest were left, engaged in battle.
“Here I come!”
Looking at the two strongest fighters, a golden light burst forth in Du Gang’s eyes, he soared into the sky and began to fly rapidly.
“Ssss!”
As he flew, the air traced a dazzling tail line.
In a short while, he had already reached this city thousands of miles away.
Looking at the two people fighting in the distance with nothing to conceal his presence, he hovered mid-air, releasing an overwhelming might, pressuring the two.
“Who is that?!”
“It’s that very familiar mental power!”
“He doesn’t look like he belongs to our city!”
“Could it be the strongest fighter from the neighboring city? Has he already killed all the contenders in their city?!”
“Wait, isn’t he the Blood Armor Gold Spear?”
“He’s here, could it be that Ba Dao, Gun Devil, Fire God, all of them are dead?”
“I’m afraid, those people, they really died at the hands of the Blood Armor Gold Spear! ”
Some people from the neighboring city recognized Du Gang and screamed in shock.
At this moment, the scattered spectators all looked shocked.
And in the heart of the battlefield, the two who had been previously fighting, ceased their battle, a united front seemed to form implicitly as they looked at Du Gang flying over from a distance.
“Boom!”
Du Gang hovered in the air a kilometer away from the two of them.
“Who are you?!”
One of the strongest fighters called out.
Du Gang replied with a faint smile, “My name is Du Gang, I’m here for your lives!” “Audacious!”
“Bold! ”
The two strongest fighters both rebuked at the same time.
They felt a hint of pressure, but what prevailed was their rage.
A man from another city dared to challenge the two of them at once.
Even if he planned to hide until their fight was over, and then launched a sneak attack, that would have been better; but instead, he walked out in the open, full of provocation.
“Brother Liu, it seems our battle will have to be postponed!”
“No problem, let’s kill this arrogant fool first, then you and I can fight!”
“Alright!”
The two strongest warriors in the city exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and launched their attacks simultaneously!
“Whoo!” “Whoo!”
As soon as they began, they launched their most powerful moves, aiming straight for Du Gang’s head.
“Zing!” “Zing!”
Du Gang casually fired two shots, blocking their attacks effortlessly.
“Such strength!”
The two became cautious, their eyes filled with seriousness.
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
At this moment, their eyes ignited with boundless fighting spirit.
“Boom!”
One of them sparked countless fires while the other surged with the aura of golden armor, quickly rushing towards Du Gang.
“Bang!”
Du Gang’s response was not slow, with a wave of his hand he unleashed two sophisticated Gold Element Law attacks.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
In an instant, the two were forced back a couple of steps!
Even though they were the same as Du Gang in the Into-the-Microscopic realm, their strength was slightly inferior even to Ba Dao.
Domain seven-fold, Into-the -Microscopic realm. This could be considered the strength of the top two competitors in a medium-sized cosmic nation!
This was Hu Tu’s strength level, but at this moment, Du Gang was much stronger than them!
“Buzz!”
This time, the spear emanated a crisp sound and started to spin rapidly, driving a golden current towards the two. “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”
A series of impact sounds echoed.
The two reacted quickly, blocking several attacks, but moved faster.
Witn ms valor Increasing wnlle taK1ng on DOtn, ne appearea more rornuaaD1e’.
“Come on, put in more effort!”
At this moment, Du Gang had just understood the mystery of War Gold and entered into the Into-the-Microscopic realm and he needed plenty of practice, so he was trying to provoke them with words to get a better workout.
“Kill!
“Kill!
This time, the two were completely enraged, their eyes bloodshot and filled with killing intent. “Brother Liu, go all out!”
“Okay!”
The onlookers were suddenly shocked, never expecting that these two hadn’t been fighting at full strength, and only now decided to go all out!
Suddenly, the momentum of the fight escalated further. Those who were close initially couldn’t withstand the intense aftershocks and were forced to retreat.
As the two unleashed their hidden power, the situation became even more intense.
One fighter summoned a more potent and chilling aura of War Gold, while the other conjured a sea of fire that threatened to engulf Du Gang.
“Fire overcomes Gold, I refuse to believe my fire can’t melt your gold!”
Just then, the aura of fire, coupled with the strongest attacks, slowly spread and began burning towards the aura of Du Gang’s War Gold.
“Sizzle! ‘”‘
Under such an attack, Du Gang’s spear made sizzling sounds as if being burned.
This wasn’t the sound of the spear, but rather the sound of Gold Element Laws being burned. Even though he was holding an illusion, and not the real Ancient Divine Spear, the virtual universe had reproduced it perfectly.
“Sky-breaking Strike!”
In the end, Du Gang couldn’t resist and unleashed his strongest move.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
With a single attack, he shattered the two powerful fighters into dust.
His one versus two triumph was accomplished!
“Terrifying! ”
At that moment, the shocked expressions on the faces of the onlookers said it all.
However, some smart people had already started to run away as soon as they noticed that the flow of battle was tilting.
“Humph!”
At this moment, Du Gang snorted coldly, his Domain instantly expanded, covering the rest of the people.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
With his speed, combined with the profound knowledge of the War Gold’s microscopic realm, almost no one could escape him.
“Some still managed to escape, but they don’t have many points, it’s a waste of time!”
Watching the people fleeing in all directions in the distance, Du Gang gave up on pursuing them.
Compared to the strongest warriors who have hundreds of thousands or even millions of points, he didn’t think much of those who only had a few thousand or tens of thousands of points.
“Next city!”
Without stopping, Du Gang set off again, heading for the third city!
“Something’s happening, Du Gang’s rank has moved again!”
“This time, he jumped straight into the top thirty, with an overall ranking in the three thousands!”
“Too horrifying, what on earth is he doing on the competing planet? Why can his ranking still skyrocket at this stage?!”
The inhabitants of Pangu Continent aren’t foolish, they know that as the game goes on, there are more and more strong players remaining, meaning it’s progressively hard to earn points!
However, Du Gang wasn’t like that, his points were continuously increasing in leaps and bounds.
His rank, like sitting on a rocket, was rising rapidly.
At the third city, there were still five strongest warriors, they hadn’t started fighting yet, but Du Gang arrived!
Instead of defeating them one by one, he released his overwhelming battle spirit and stopped at the edge of the city, waiting quietly. In no time, the first strongest warrior arrived!
“Who are you?”
Indifferently Du Gang said, “I’ve already slaughtered the strongest warriors in two cities, just wait a bit longer, until the others arrive, then we can fight!”
The first strongest warrior’s face turned pale with shock, although somewhat unbelievable, he did not try to test Du Gang and began to wait quietly.
Shortly after that, the second, third, and finally the fifth strongest warrior all arrived here.
Other strong warriors were also watching the battle from a distance.
Though their strength was not up to par, their ability to escape was excellent, and at this moment they were confident enough to watch the battle.
After they all arrived, Du Gang began to speak, “I’ve already slaughtered the strongest warriors in two cities, this is the third one, I’ve called you here because any of you alone isn’t a match for me, I want you to join forces, to refine my battle techniques!”
Arrogant! Overconfident! Conceited!
Each one of them had such thoughts in their minds.
But they knew, Du Gang had the capability!
His strength was already far superior to everyone present!
With just the seventh level of the Domain and microscopic realm, they were not enough to defeat Du Gang, so they needed to work together!
The five looked at each other, quickly joined hands.
Even though they had never met or fought before, but they are all strong warriors, they had the necessary understanding, they began to fight with Du Gang according to the method of Laws of mutual generation and restraint.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Du Gang reacted with extreme speed, fighting one against five, he was only at a slight disadvantage, defeating him was still a long way off!
Although not having the upper hand, this was exactly what Du Gang wanted, right?
If the enemy wasn’t strong enough, how could he refine his battle skills?!
“Kill!
At this moment, Du Gang once again ignited his overwhelming battle spirit, his forehead veins popping as he fully swung the Ancient Divine Spear!
All six of them were in the heat of the battle.
In the early stage of the battle, there was no doubt that the other five, by virtue of their numerical advantage, managed to suppress Du Gang.
However, no matter how hard they fought, they still couldn’t kill Du Gang, they could only suppress him.
But in the middle stage, as Du Gang’s battle skills became stronger and stronger, his strength also greatly increased, making the fight with the five
evenly matched, creating a balance!
But to everyone’s astonishment in the late stage, strength increased once again!
His strength was constantly improving with the continuous fight, this time, he single-handedly held his ground against the five, suppressing the opponents!
“Die!”
With a loud shout, Du Gang made five consecutive stabs.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Five blasts sounded, five flashes of white light, Du Gang was victorious!
“Incredible, his talent is terrifying, he actually became stronger during the battle, he is definitely a born warrior!”
“Exactly, the strength he showed before, during, and after the battle had a huge difference!”
“Terrifying! ”
“Cut the crap, he’s coming our way, aren’t you running?!!”
At this moment, Du Gang, as they wished, was holding the Ancient Divine Spear and, like a god descending to earth, he started a gruesome slaughter among the crowd.
Shortly after, he had killed most of the spectators, he didn’t bother pursuing the few who managed to escape. Once again, his ranking rose sharply! “Participant: Du Gang, Points: 21034234”
“Planet ranking: 3rd, total ranking: 88!”
“The points from three cities make up only third place, this means, on our planet, there are still two fighters before me who have at least the points from three cities!”
Thinking of the fact that there are at least two more exceptionally powerful people on this planet, Du Gang was again ablaze with fighting spirit and flew towards the fourth city!
“What exactly is going on with these two?!”
“Where did they come from? I don’t believe that a mere White Dragon Mountain could breed two talents of such calibre at the same time…
The inhabitants of the Pangu Continent have completely lost their minds.
This time, it’s because Du Gang’s ranking had reached the top hundred in the overall ranking, ranking third within his own planet. Similarly, it is also related to Qiao Jin’s skyrocketing ranking.
[Participant: Qiao Jin, Score: 26342354]
[Planet Ranking: 1st, Overall Ranking: 53rd]
“Two freshmen from White Dragon Mountain has astonishingly achieved the top hundred in the overall ranking at the same time!”
“For ten million years, besides Luo Shan, we from the Pangu Continent haven’t had any contestants reaching the top hundred for a long time!”
Everyone was sighing. At this moment, even those who never use the internet, had also logged in, along with everyone else, witnessing this scene.
“This is a new era!”
“This is another Golden Age following that of Luo Shan and other peerless talents!”
“This time, who knows who will have the last laugh!”
All students of the Celestial Academy were in tears on this day.
This is the best of times, yet also the worst of times.
Being born in the same era as these peerless talents, it meant that they could not even be a green leaf, they could only hide in a corner of the internet silently watching these performances of the peerless talents!
A second-year peerless talent tearfully said: “I have the privilege to witness this era, but the saddest part is, I’m merely a spectator and unable to participate!”
On this day, mesmerized by the astonishing performances of Du Gang and others, quite a few seniors who had secluded themselves in the Secret Realm for many yeard_ had all emerged’
Although they were referred to as ‘old monsters’, they were actually students above the third year!
Normally, at the end of the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition’s elimination round, about one hundred second-year students would be able to advance to the Pangu Continent for the next round of competition.
These people are often the best in each class, and they often graduate in advance upon reaching the second year at Celestial Academy.
Besides these individuals, there were still a large number of talents who remained at the academy.
They were all at the Domain Lord Level, with seven-layered Domains and even eight or nine-layered Domains.
However, if they missed the chance, they could never go to the Pangu Continent.
Unless, they could pass the Core Disciple assessment of the four big companies!
That’s right, another purpose of the establishment of the Celestial Academy is to let these students strive to pass the core assessment!
Because from the Domain Lord Level onwards, the four major companies recruit disciples based not only on age.
Of course, age is also a baseline. In addition to meeting the age requirement, they also need to compete!
Only those who win in these competitions can become core disciples of the four major companies and have the chance to go to the Pangu Continent for further training!
If the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition is said to be the battlefield for the first and second-year students of the Celestial Academy.
Then, the core disciple assessment of the four big companies is the final battlefield for the students from the third to the tenth grade!
Any student who fails to pass the core disciple assessment before the tenth grade will be demoted from being a disciple to becoming an employee of the four major companies, completely out of the power core and out of chances to become a senior member of the big four!
Therefore, there are many powerful individuals at the nine-layered Domain level among these senior students!
Besides, there even exist some who have realized the Seeing-Through realm!
The reason why they didn’t break through the medium Laws Tower, one reason is that each of the medium Laws Towers house three types of Laws. To pass, all three Laws must reach the ‘Into the Microscopic’ level.
However, not every student is extremely lucky to have the Laws he cultivates matching those in the medium tower.
Basically, a tower generally matches with only one law, rarely two.
Situations like Du Gang’s, where he matches with all three Laws in Wuzheng Tower, can be considered as rare or lucky!
Yet, with these ‘old monsters’ coming out, some people with ulterior motives also mixed into the scene.
Several clans that had been bought over by the Jiang Family dispatched many experts to covertly lurk around the academy premises.
Not just that, even those ‘old monster’ students might have received news from their families which led to their emergence!
For a while, the undercurrent in the entire Celestial Academy was raging!
The first hundred contestant planets.
Du Gang was unaware of the situation at Celestial Academy, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t be scared.
His Ancient Divine Spear hadn’t been truly utilized in a long time.
‘Spear’ as the name suggests, both spear and lance!
But, during this period, had been using it as a spear.
This was because the real Ancient Divine Spear is still charging its power!
As for how strong it is, he didn’t know.
But, if anyone dares to try it out, he doesn’t mind letting those with malicious intentions have a taste!
The fifth city.
This time, Du Gang encountered a Mind Master!
The opponent was very powerful, they fought for a whole day before he finally won!
The 22nd day after the start of the knockout round.
Du Gang’s ranking within his planet had reached 1st place, and overall, he had also achieved 8th place.
However, this doesn’t mean that he was the strongest on the planet.
This was due to his aptitude for detecting others’ mental power, which was conducive to finding other strong competitors, hence his higher score!
Specifically, on the hundredth planet, there were two other individuals whose power was terrifying to the extent that even Du Gang felt somewhat unequal to them.
Yet, Du Gang did not rush to confront them but instead continuously honed his battle skills!
Sooner or later, they would meet!
Not only him, but Qiao Jin’s ranking had also reached 1st place on the sixth competition planet, with an overall ranking of 10th place.
His mental power was inevitably suppressed and couldn’t envelop the whole world like Du Gang’s. Therefore, his score was comparatively lower.
However, he was a true Mind Master with formidable power and extreme speed, hence his accumulation of points was not slow!
The 28th day.
After nearly ten days of hard work, Du Gang had visited most of the cities on the hundredth competition planet.
With his premonition, he avoided the other two strongest competitors who were more powerful than him.
In advance, he had defeated many other city’s strongest competitors.
Up until now, on the hundredth planet, except for Du Gang and the other two, all the strongest had died off!
[Participant: Du Gang, Points: 2234235234]
After more than ten days of fighting, his score had reached a scary two billion points!
The ranking was even more outrageous!
[Planet Ranking: 1st, Overall Ranking: 1st!]
Du Gang had reached the 1st place in overall ranking three days ago!
Among the hundred competing planets, the strongest Mind Master couldn’t cover the whole world with his mental power due to the ten-million-fold gravity constantly suppressing their mental power.
However, Du Gang was not affected. He was completely aware of the global dynamics and had scores far ahead of the runner-up!
It could be imagined that if he hid and quietly waited for the competition to end, he would still have obtained the final first place.
But he did not do that!
He chose to fight the last two powerful competitors!
After more than ten days of honing, his strength had grown rapidly and no individual could defeat him.
Therefore, this time, he directly brought together the last two strongest.
“You are indeed the one who covers the whole world with mental power, right?!”
One ot the strongest with a dark complexion slowly exclaimed.
If he still didn’t know who the first place was, then he was too foolish!
Du Gang looked at the two of them, grinned with his mouth wide open, and laughed, ‘Yes, I deliberately avoided you, killed the strongest in other global cities, all for this battle. I hope you won’t let me down!”
The two of them looked at each other and felt comparable fighting spirits ignited!
Only by competing with a strong competitor like Du Gang could they get a thrill!
“Fight!”
Without another word, the three of them swiftly tangled together in a battle.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
In just one brief minute, they had clashed tens of thousands of times, but the outcome was still undecided.
However, Du Gang sighed softly.
“You disappoint me somewhat, please bring out your ultimate powers!” The two were shocked!
They didn’t know if Du Gang’s words were true or false, but if true, then…
“Explode!”
At this moment, the two made a decision simultaneously and instantly unleashed their most powerful moves, and their bodily combat prowess soared once again.
The entire planet trembled slightly due to their fight.
You should know that this is a planet that has been reinforced a million times over. It implies that their fights were potent enough to destroy ten million planets!
“Kill! ”
The three instantly passed by each other, and after swapping positions, they stopped mid-air.
Backs to the two, Du Gang sighed, “Did not expect your strengths to be insufficient to stimulate me anymore!”
“Sigh!”
With this sound of sighing, the two suspended behind him heavily slammed onto the ground.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
Two rays of white light flashed, and the fight ended!
After honing for more than ten days, Du Gang had successfully trained the Sharp Gold, War Gold, and Sharpness to the Into the Microscopic realm!
Moreover, his Sharp Gold was subtly on the verge of breakthrough.
Originally, he had hoped to breakthrough to the Seeing-Through realm during the battle with these two. Unfortunately, their power was still a little lacking!
On the 30th day, with the final passage of the competition time, the curtain fell on this competition which was started ahead of schedule. Du Gang, without a doubt, ranked first overall!
