“What we are using now is a method similar to the True Words, which has been passed down by the sages and perfected by the successive heads of this institution. At the God Spirit Level, we can already exert up to 5% of its power!”

Li Rubo persisted and continued, “Think about it, this is only at the God Spirit Level. What about later? What about the True God Level? What about the Celestial God Level?”

Celestial God Level?

Du Gang was taken aback and asked, “Is the Celestial God Level the realm above True God?”

He really didn’t know this, as others referred to the power above True God as Great Power.

“You don’t know?”

Li Rubo was stunned but nodded, “That’s right, those who are stronger than True Gods are referred to as Celestial God Level!”

I see!

Du Gang nodded, then asked, “What about above the Celestial God? What realm is that?”

Only then was Li Rubo certain that Du Gang had not received systematic education, and started to explain, “Well, let me tell you about each of the realms from God Spirit to Supreme…”

“There are six levels from God Spirit to Supreme.”

“The first stage is the God Spirit Level, which gives birth to a God Spirit. At the God Spirit Level, it’s actually a foundational stage, where we ignite Divine Fire, enhance Divine Thought, open up divine passages, fill with Divine Power, strengthen the divine body, etc. We need to go through nine tribulations and give birth to nine God Spirits to be considered complete.”

“The second stage is the True God Level, where we mainly begin researching the power of the Dao. The most notable feature at this stage is the True Words. Words become the Law. This is also the stage where we can physically fly!”

Du Gang quietly remarked that they, the Cosmic Races, could fly as early as Comet Level…

Li Rubo continued, “The third stage is the Celestial God Level. At this level, it is said that we begin to study the power of the Heavenly Dao, which is why it’s called Celestial God…”

Du Gang was taken aback, “Isn’t the Dao and Heavenly Dao the same?”

Li Rubo smiled and said, “No, it’s not. The Dao is something you have to cultivate by yourself. Everyone attains a different Dao based on their own understanding. It’s your own individual Dao…”

“As for the Heavenly Dao, it’s the truth of this world. It means we have begun to study the truth of this world!”

Du Gang understood. He had always thought that the Dao was the same as the Heavenly Dao, but it seems they were different.

“At the Celestial God Level, in your noble houses, they should also be referred to as Powerful Entities…”

“The fourth stage is the God King Level. In your noble houses, it’s called King!”

“And that’s an appropriate title, because those at this level of power can claim kingship.”

Du Gang nodded. Little Hawk King had searched for him before, telling him not to call him Little Hawk King, as it would easily get him beaten up.

This title is a term of praise. It’s fine to shout it out in the universe, but here, you are likely to get beaten up for it.”

This was also the case with Blue Robed Eagle King. However, with just a single tribulation at the God Spirit Level, he dared to use this title only in the universe. When he arrived here, he reverted to using his real name, probably called Eagle One or Eagle Two, whichever it was, the names weren’t very pleasant, otherwise, he would not have chosen to go by those names.

“Next is the fifth stage, the Sage Realm!”

Li Rubo showed a devout expression, “To be a Sage is already an indescribable realm. In this era, a Sage is enough to shake the world!”

Hearing these words, Du Gang curiously asked, “What do you mean, don’t we have any Sages on our continent now?”

“No!”

Li Rubo shook his head, “On our Primordial Continent, a Sage hasn’t appeared in a long time. Whether the major powers have any is unknown, perhaps they do, perhaps they don’t…”

“However, there are quite a few God King Level powerhouses, be they from the Divine race, the King race or us, who are still active in the world…”

He continued, “The sixth stage, you should also know, Supreme. These two words succinctly explain everything!”

“It is said that the powerhouses of the Supreme Realm can control time, and possess the ability to view the River of Time. This realm is too far beyond our reach, so knowing about it is enough…”

Listening to his words…

Du Gang smiled and asked, “So, your goal is to become a Sage?”

“Correct!”

Li Rubo openly admitted and nodded, “The majority of us here in this academy aspire to become Sages!”

Du Gang nodded, and said, “I appreciate your clarification. However, I have reasons that I can’t leave Penglai Academy. So, I’m sorry…”

Li Rubo looked regretful, but didn’t linger on it for long and laughed, “In that case, let’s have a fair match!”

Although it was a pity, he had tried his best. It was simply unfortunate.

Du Gang also nodded. He glanced around; a half of the battles had already ended on the 33 stages. Surprisingly to him, these scholars had won more matches.

But when he thought about their abilities, he figured it was normal. After all, the ability to exert up to 5% of the power of Sage techniques at only the God Spirit Level was simply too terrifying.

Even if there were others who have learned Sage techniques, they would be hard-pressed to match these opponents.

Not to mention, at least half of their students have not even learned Sage techniques, let alone had the chance to learn them.

This is also why the noble houses have gradually declined.

They treasure Supreme Techniques and Sage Techniques, only members of their bloodline, only members of their family, and even then, only those with good talent or who have made contributions can learn them.

But with the forty-five major powers, it’s not like that. They teach indiscriminately, regardless of bloodline or background, only looking at talent.

“It seems that what Xiang Xinjian said about both sides being equal was actually too flattering to the noble houses.”

With time, these established powers will get stronger and stronger, whereas the noble houses will become weaker and weaker!

You are gathering the strength of one family, while they are gathering the strength of the world. There is absolutely no comparison!

Even he, the only successor of the Ancient God, is struggling against a student who is just very good but not the best. It’s even more difficult for the other people to win a match.”

Should he use his special abilities?

Du Gang doesn’t really like to use his special abilities to overpower others. It would imply that he failed in other aspects and resorted to this tactic.

However, even without the use of special abilities, he still has two methods to defeat the enemy.

One was the ‘World Creation’ by Pangu, a top supreme technique. Even without enhancements, the technique could easily defeat the enemy.

The other one was the ‘Jie-Character Secret’, one of the ‘Nine Secrets’. When executed, it could increase his combat power ten times, easily defeating all enemies.

Which one to use?

Without much hesitation, Du Gang utilized the ‘World Creation’ by Pangu!

This technique was openly displayed and even without execution, others would take it into account.

Therefore, he preferred to reveal this technique while hiding the Nine Secrets.

Since arriving on the Primordial Continent, he had only used the Nine Secrets once during his fight with Long Aoshi. However, he had not used them to their full extent at that time, releasing only a part of their power. No one had noticed as a result.

That meant that his Nine Secrets still remained a covert ace!

Especially in the Southern Wilderness, where forces that wished to kill him resided, he necessarily had to keep something in reserve for his protection.

Using his hand as an ax, Du Gang stomped on the spot, instantly leaping into the air.

With the operation of the ‘World Creation’ technique, a massive power gradually emanated.

“What is that?!”

Impacted by this power, other people involuntarily turned their heads to look at Du Gang.

“World Creation!”

With a roar from Du Gang, an ax shadow, dozens of meters in size, appeared out of thin air and slashed towards Li Rubo.

“This …”

This power was so strong that it stunned Li Rubo for a brief moment, but his extensive combat experience quickly brought him back to his senses, and he quickly started to take action, wielding his divine brush on the golden foil.

“Your attack is ineffective!”

“Your sneak attack is ineffective!”

“Your attack is weakened!”

At that moment, he consecutively released three golden foil prophecies, not affecting anything.

The ax shadow in the sky did not falter, it kept heading towards him.

“Defense!”

At the critical moment, Li Rubo roared. Instantly, the seven golden foil papers, which were floating in mid-air, appeared in front of him blocking the ax shadow.

Not only that, the divine brush in his hand did not stop drawing. The golden shields slowly took form according to his brush strokes and continued to block in front of him.

“Boom!”

Finally, the ax shadow struck down.

The golden foils, although effective, were far from enough to withstand it. The power of the ax shadow was too strong, easily slicing through the seven golden foils, causing them to lose their power.

Moreover, after hacking the seven golden foils, the ax shadow continued its momentum, striking the pile of shields drawn by Li Rubo.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

With each bang, a shield exploded.

Eventually, the ax shadow hit Li Rubo before he had time to draw another shield.

“Boom!”

This time, Li Rubo was sent flying.

“The ax blade scattered, the last strike was lenient!”

Among the spectators, those with keen eyes noticed the details of the battle scene and commented.

“Thank you for sparing my life, Leader!”

Li Rubo, who had been knocked down, inspected his body and found no significant injuries. He promptly expressed his gratitude.

Du Gang smiled and replied, “You have detailed the realm for me; this is what I should do.”

Li Rubo thanked him once again, dusting his hands and standing beside Du Gang, they began watching the battles together.

By now, most of the battles had ended.

Unfortunately, most students from Penglai Academy had lost.

Those still in battle, were all from the group with unique physiques.

These individuals, like Du Gang, hadn’t used the anomalies, but continued to fight stubbornly.

“Claw Shatters the Sky!”

A command from the nearby battlefield caught Du Gang’s attention.

On the fourth platform, the Little Hawk King executed their Ying Family’s top-notch technique, ‘Claw Shatters the Sky’.

Suddenly, a massive claw emerged from the sky, heading straight for the opponent.

Li Rubo shook his head, uttering a sigh, “Your single Ancient City possesses nineteen supreme techniques, it is indeed terrifying…”

The Ancient City was a very special existence. They were related to Pangu and Nuwa, which respectively represents their descendants and ancestors. In the top 100 divine tribes, many were aligned with the Ancient City, therefore they held a relatively high position. Else, the Holy Confucian Academy would not have sought them on equal terms.

Du Gang previously believed that Penglai Island, also known as the Human Race of the Universe, were far from these forces on the Primordial Continent.

Upon arriving here, they discovered that they never left; while entering from space, they found their location to be within the ancient city.

On the No.4 arena, the scholar executed nearly in the same manner as Li Rubo did earlier, endlessly casting spells using golden foils and divine pens.

However, the outcome remained unchanged. Little Hawk King’s claw, even though not as mighty as the axe shadow cast by Du Gang, yet swept away the opponent from the arena.

Nevertheless, unlike Du Gang who pulled away, Little Hawk King persistently did not give in -consistent with his character.

Luckily, the strength of his claw shadow was not as intense as imagined. After several dilutions, the opponent sustained only minor injuries.

Witnessing this situation, Little Hawk King broke into a smile, “How’s that!”

On the arena, he wasn’t as effortless and relaxed as Du Gang, always on high alert. Hence, he didn’t pay much attention to events on other arenas.

Du Gang shrugged, “We lost. With 33 arenas, we’ve already virtually lost 20 of them. Even if we win the remaining ones, we’re unlikely to turn the tables…”

At this point, hearing the news, the students from other classes felt ashamed and wanted to hide in embarrassment.

Watching the crowd’s reaction, Du Gang turned around, loudly reassuring, “Everyone, don’t blame yourselves. This is our class battle. Winning or losing is our glory, don’t we just want the artifact?”

“If we lose, we can win it back later. Unless, you all think that you can’t win, do you think that way?”

“No!”

The twenty or so students who lost the match earlier, engulfed in shame and regret, felt invigorated upon hearing Du Gang’s words.

“An artifact worth hundreds of divine crystals, indeed looks a lot right now, but it’s just a tool in our lives. We’ve got a long way ahead, a bright future filled with endless possibilities!”

Du Gang casually pointed at someone, “In the future, you may become a True God Level powerhouse. Tell me, at that time, would you grieve for the artifact worth a few hundred divine crystals?”

“No!”

This male student, taken aback, yelled out loud.

Du Gang nodded, pointing at another person, “In the future, you’ll be a Great Power warrior. Tell me, would you weep and regret for the artifact worth a few hundred divine crystals?”

“No!”

This male student also bellowed.

Du Gang nodded again, “Do you get it now? In comparison to our future filled with infinite chances, these mere hundreds of divine crystals are but a drizzle…”

“Just a drizzle!”

“Just a drizzle!”

Instantly, the over twenty participants who had lost the match together with the 36 who didn’t participate, all chanted out loud.

At this moment, they needed this kind of morale-boosting to get over the grief of losing hundreds of divine crystals.

This thunderous roar left the combatants who were still fighting on the ten odd platforms dumbfounded, as they wondered about what happened among the audience.

“Unexpectedly, this headboy Du Gang has some skills after all…”

A scholar remarked with a sigh, “I thought that was all to him. I didn’t expect his knack for rallying the spirit, to be so brilliant…”

“This must be the ‘commander-in-chief’ ability that the teacher often mentions?!”

“Exactly, especially when I think about the loss of divine crystals worth over ten thousand, I can’t help but admire him.”

“Look at him, not showing any grief. This suggests that he takes money very lightly, truly considering it as dung!”

“If I were in his shoes, losing ten thousand divine crystals, I might have already cried and fainted in the restroom!”

At this moment, all the scholars felt rueful and their perception of Du Gang escalated once again.

Little Hawk King, on the other hand, grinned, pulling a face.

An artifact of ten thousand divine crystals was a fake to you, so of course you’re not heartbroken…

Unfortunately, he dared only mutter these words in his heart, dared not to say them out loud, after all, he was also involved…

After boosting the morale, Du Gang, once again, shifted his gaze to the arena.

His aim was actually quite simple, one aspect was to win over his classmates; during such painful times, it’s easiest to win over hearts, just a few words could do the trick.

The second aim was to establish an upright image in the scholars’ minds, such that after getting it open, they wouldn’t be suspicious of him.

Moreover, it would also facilitate his following operations!

However, if someone observed closely, they would find that although Du Gang was eyeing the arena, from his viewpoint, he could clearly see the situation inside the Libra behind the arena.

He was not only watching the battle, but he was also recalling the value of artifacts placed there earlier.

He knew that shortly, people like Long Aoshi would apply the Space Prohibition talisman, so, he decided to choose beforehand.

Specifically picking those artifacts with high value but small size…

Currently, he had set his eyes on several artifacts of high value and small size.

Not just that, he also purposely added a few pockets inside his clothes…

Since these things were not permitted inside the world within the body, then… they can be kept in the pockets, right?!

He didn’t know whether others did the same, anyway, he quietly sewed a bunch of hidden pockets.

At this moment, on the arena, the general situation was similar to other arenas, with scholars generally suppressing the students of Penglai Academy.

They were never in contact with these scholars before, hence they were greatly unadapted to their methods.

Hence, in comparison to those forces, noble families faced a problem; they were too isolated, rarely enabling their children to frequently interact with outsiders.

The ones who got the opportunity to travel were essentially strong individuals or ones with outstanding talents.

Noble families valued reputation more, hence every generation of each family ensured the upstart was peerless.

However, down the years, only Xia Cang from this side of the ancient city had made it to the Human Ranking, just making to the last positions.

“Look at Yousheng!”

Someone exclaimed.

Du Gang quickly withdrew his mind from the Libra and glanced towards the stage where Youshenga was.

Although this young man carried a coffin on his back, making a bold statement, he himself was incredibly low-profile, choosing merely the twelfth stage to compete.

At this moment, on this twelfth stage, unlike the other students who suppressed Penglai, the situation was rather unusual.

The coffin on Yousheng’s back had been put down, and the lid of the coffin was opened. Even the True God corpse inside had come to life.

Without any fight, there were indeed several gold foils in the mid-air of the stage but that student looked quite bewildered.

“Get off!”

Yousheng uttered a soft cry, and immediately, the mummy moved. It twisted and turned like a robotic dancer, slowly moving to the edge of the stage.

On the other hand, the student looked incredibly strange, like a string puppet being manipulated. His every move was similar to the mummy’s, also moving to the edge of the stage.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Two thuds were heard as a person and a corpse both jumped off the stage.

“Release!”

Though far away, Du Gang could still hear the word Yousheng whispered softly.

Just as he thought, the student over there recovered immediately.

With a “thump”, he fell to the ground, and then rolled and crawled away until another student held him by the shoulder to stop him.

There was a clear look of fear in his eyes. Clearly, the battle had left a deep, terrifying imprint on his mind.

With Yousheng’s spell ending, he quickly packed up the corpse, meticulously covered the coffin again, and carried it on his back before jumping off the stage.

Seeing Du Gang looking at him, he immediately revealed a shy smile.

Although his smile was casual, all the students on the line of his sight were shocked and quickly averted their gaze.

Not just them, at this moment, even those in the same class as Yousheng felt terrified.

The last thing everyone in the class wanted to talk about was Yousheng. After all, a person running around with a coffin on his back was too terrifying.

Although this person appeared to be very shy, but who knew if he would transform into a devil with uncontrollable bestiality?

Du Gang didn’t think too much and simply responded with a smile as well.

This lad was truly mysterious. Aside from his coffin, he hadn’t shown any other tricks yet. Who knew what was his capability?

“Ha!”

Suddenly, a tender battle cry resounded.

The crowd’s gaze was immediately drawn towards it.

One of the twin lolis on a stage suddenly manifested a light orb around her body, protecting her completely.

On another stage, the other twin loli unfolded a pair of immaculate wings.

“Buzz!”

Not only that, what was shocking was, behind this loli, an illusory figure appeared once again. If someone looked closely, this figure was identical to the loli who had just dived into the orb.

“The twin lolis can fight in fusion. Once they integrate, their combat power is not as simple as one plus one equals two…”

“But, their personalities are really strange; they basically never talk to others…”

“Moreover, the two of them like to converse with each other; can talk endlessly for a day…”

Du Gang listened to these tidbits and pondered, realising it to be exactly like that.

Except for the time when the Divine Chance was auctioned, these two twin lolis had only said one thing, “Brother, these two teddies are for you”. Other than that, he hadn’t seen them speak at all.

However, they never missed a chance to snag any opportunity.

Similar to this time, although they didn’t speak, they were involved in the conspiracy of nine.

“Boom!”

With the fusion of the apparitional twin lolis, an intense aura was released.

Instantly, the student on the stage was swept off by a massive force of purity.

They have used their power of physique!

However, no one said anything against them, after all, they looked like children, although they might be much older than Du Gang…

“Have you noticed that they seem to have developed a lot of the mysteries of physique?!”

Du Gang frowned.

He had seen Divine Body, Sacred Body, Taoist Body, Tyrant Body, and King Body, and currently, Yousheng, who possessed the Dark Ghost Body, and these Twin King Bodies Lolis appeared most mysterious.

Apart from these, like his own Divine Body, Little Hawk King’s Sky Hawk Holy Body, and Long Aotian’s Azure Flood Dragon Body had not shown much charm.

Among their group, except for mastering the anomaly, their understanding of physique was close to zero.

On one hand, because they didn’t understand or rather, there were hardly any who understood how to develop the powerful potential of the special physique.

The most important thing was that each kind of physique was developed differently.

As the competition ended for this loli, she soon transformed from her earlier four-winged angel form with two heads, four hands and four feet, to a light orb.

At the same time on another stage, the light orb that the student furiously attacked hatched at this moment.

Just like before, a four-winged angel with two heads, four hands and four feet suddenly appeared.

“Boom!”

The same scene happened again, the scholar was knocked off the stage without any resistance.

“Is this the power of physiology?”

The scholars were filled with emotion.

Although they could beat ordinary people, it was difficult to fight against those with special bodies.

After all, this is the root of survival for these powerful families!

With the victory of the twin loli, the only ones left to decide the winner are Long Aotian and Yang Jun on the number one stage, Yao Zixuan and an unknown scholar on the number seven stage, Yao Zijie and an unknown scholar on the number eight stage, and Sun Wufan and an unknown scholar on the number nine stage.

They are the only four stages where a winner has not yet been decided!

However, the people on these four stages are obviously strong.

On the Penglai side, everyone has a special body.

Although Yao Zijie seemed weak when he climbed the mountain and his strength was sealed, in reality, he is very strong.

His physique is even stronger than Yao Zixuan’s, he is a nine sun divine body, and Yao Zixuan is just a nine yin body.

“Fight, fight, fight~~~!!!”

The first one to make a move came from the number nine stage.

At this moment, Sun Wufan seemed to turn into a super Saiyan, his muscles exploded, and he swung his pair of iron clubs, creating strong gusts of wind. Even under the restriction of gold foil floating in the air, he still chased the scholar on the stage and created dangerous situations, forcing the scholar into mad evasion.

“This guy is so strong!”

“Yeah, even under the suppression of the power of the gold foil, he almost caught up with Brother Liu…”

“Moreover, you see, the lightning attack produced by Brother Liu’s gold foil hit this person and he was not injured at all…”

“This guy must also have a combat body!”

Du Gang nodded and saw some clues.

These scholars, when their opponents’ strength does not exceed a certain limit, their techniques are almost invincible. They can gradually weaken their enemies and then take the initiative.

However, if the enemy displays even greater strength that their golden foil techniques cannot suppress, then they basically seem extremely passive and it is difficult to turn the situation around.

Therefore, these scholarly techniques, compared to the top strong fighters, are far too weak, but they are above the average level, or in other words, they are in the middle-high class.

For them, it’s very easy to fight ordinary people or those who don’t have supreme techniques or special bodies, and they nearly always win.

Du Gang was pondering secretly.

He wondered whether these scholars had more powerful techniques after they advanced in their cultivation?!

There should be, after all, they are one of the forty-five great forces. If they didn’t have anything up their sleeves, they probably wouldn’t have reached this level!

“Boom!”

With Sun Wufan’s raging power, a mysterious aura suddenly emerged around him.

A sort of flame-like thing started burning around Sun Wufan’s body.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know, but I feel that his combat power seems to be increasing continuously…”

At this time, Little Hawk King rarely spoke: “This is the Fighting Holy Body, a physique within the Fighting Saint Clan. In battle, as long as they are not completely suppressed, their fighting power can increase infinitely…”

“Of course, it’s only theoretically unlimited growth, as for whether there have been such strong people, I don’t know…”

So that’s how it is!

Most of the people present showed a sudden realization.

At the same time, they were once again amazed.

Another physique.

These great families really lived up to their reputations…

It can be said that the families are synonymous with physiques.

Or rather, the families survive based on their physiques.

“Da Da Da~~~!!!”

Sun Wufan’s movements were getting faster and faster until even Du Gang was somewhat alarmed.

“This speed is comparable to my full state after transforming, which means that if he was not suppressed, his speed might be even faster than mine…”

Of course, this is without the use of the Nine Secrets.

However, it also fully shows the strength of the Fighting Holy Body.

“Boom!”

Finally, the scholar on the stage was a step slower or rather, Sun Wufan’s speed was too fast. He finally caught up with him and smashed him with a stick, directly knocking him off the stage.

“Bang Bang Bang!”

The scholar fell three times in succession before he finally stopped.

However, the good news is that Sun Wufan clearly held back and did not use a killing blow in the end, and the scholar was not seriously injured.

Not just him, Du Gang had also discovered early on that these scholars’ bodies were extremely fragile.

For example, they routinely resisted some attacks with their physical strength.

But these scholars were different, their physical strength was extremely weak, almost like a weak chicken, very fragile.

Du Gang turned his head, looking at Li Rubo on the side, and asked, “Do all the other human races on the mainland, like you Confucian students, not cultivate physical strength?”

His words were still rather polite.

Li Rubo, however, didn’t take it personally and answered honestly, “For us ordinary people, not many really cultivate physical strength. Most people mainly cultivate divine power…”

Du Gang understood now.

It turned out that only noble families or people with special constitutions like them cultivate their physical bodies. Most ordinary people don’t.

Li Rubo laughed, “But it’s not entirely like that. There are also some people with ordinary constitutions who have embarked on the path to physical enlightenment…”

“For example, the Shaolin Temple has several lineages that walk the path of physical enlightenment, and the Diamond Temple is also the same…”

“As far as I know, one of the four Taoist sects, the True Martial Sect, mainly cultivates the body. They have a True Martial Image that is said to be very powerful. However, the True Martial Sect is in the Eastern Ridge, so unfortunately, we have no chance to meet…”

“Apart from these, there are also many powerful madmen with strong bodies in the Evil Demon Eight Paths. However, these forces are mostly hidden so we don’t have much specific information about them.”

Hearing this, Du Gang quickly asked, “What about the Dream Building? I heard they also belong to the Evil Demon Eight Paths, why does it seem their influence is everywhere but nobody’s managing them?!”

Li Rubo laughed, “The Evil Demon Eight Paths are actually divided into two, dividing into the evil path and the demon path. Our Southern Wilderness demon domain, is properly demon path, the kind that everyone fights when they see…”

“As for the Dream Building, it belongs to the evil path. Their force is very strange, very evil. Basically dominated by women, all active in the Dream Building, cultivating techniques of dual cultivation and indulgence…”

“The evil path can only be considered as aberrant paths or foreign paths and does not belong to the demon path…”

“And like the Dream Building, they rarely show martial action except for self-defense…”

“Besides, the girls of the Dream Building are so beautiful, who can bear to act against them!”

Du Gang paused, curiously asking, “Don’t you Confucian students need to live ascetic?”

Li Rubo was taken aback, puzzled, “Who told you that we Confucian students need to live ascetic?”

“Only those Buddhists live ascetic, almost no other force has this kind of doctrine…”

He laughed, “If everyone were to live ascetic, wouldn’t our human race have no future?!”

“Buddhism only flourished in the setting of overpopulation, when the mainland’s population is too many. If the population were sparse, how would they develop if everyone was not having children? That would be the end, the human race would be extinct!”

Du Gang nodded. Buddhism was in the Western Desert, too far from them, and didn’t require too much attention. Very quickly, he focused again on the stage because Yao Zijie, who was on the platform at this moment, began to show his prowess.

His hands began to produce a misty purple aura, each attack was imbued with this aura.

Not only that, the two had been fighting for a while, and the Gentleman’s Sword in his hand had accumulated quite a lot of force.

“Thanking you for the three feet iron, swinging to horrify the gods, producing valor in his heart, masculine wind sprout between the arms!”

Yao Zijie, the Gentleman’s Sword, finally had his moment of brilliance.

A ten feet shining cold light flashed, a crack just right, stopping exactly at his opponent’s foot appeared on the platform.

One could imagine, if Yao Zijie doesn’t hold back, his opponent might be split in half by now.

“Thanks for sparing me, I concede!”

The Confucian student opponent was also taken aback. The hardness of this platform is very formidable, at least he could not break it. Yet, his opponent managed to create a trench.

This meant, if his opponent hadn’t stopped, he would have been gone, not to say anything else, at least his balls would have been crushed…

Yao Zijie nodded, bowed, and then left the stage.

“Done my best, captured a city!”

Hearing his arrogant words, the Little Hawk King said irritably, “What’s the use of you winning, we’ve already lost!”

Yao Zijie immediately shook his head and sighed, yet he didn’t seem too dispirited because Yao Zixuan had told him about the plan after, so he wasn’t worried.

The other Confucian students also admired Yao Zijie’s demeanor and quality at this moment and frequently approached him for a conversation, wanting to befriend him.

Seeing this scene, Du Gang was speechless.

He had clearly seen the changes in the Confucian students’ perception of him, but no one made a move to make friends.

And all Yao Zijie did was recite a line of poetry he didn’t know where he stole from, earning so many people’s fondness.

Seeing this, the Little Hawk King laughed, “This kid is actually suitable for the Holy Confucian Academy, it matches his temperament!”

Du Gang nodded, indeed it was.

At this point, only Yao Zixuan and Long Aotian were left fighting on the stage.

Suddenly, Du Gang seemed to have remembered something, he quickly turned his head and sure enough, at the rear of the crowd, he found Yu Shuiyao crouched in a corner.

She didn’t participate?

What’s wrong with her?

Seeing this, Du Gang walked over with a furrowed brow.

“What’s wrong with you?!”

Yu Shuiyao took a peek and seeing that it was him, she spoke softly, “My stomach hurts…”

Du Gang was taken aback, “You’re a divine spirit now, do you still get periods?”

“It’s not my period…”

Seeing Du Gang’s expressions like if it’s not your period why is your stomach hurting, Yu Shuiyao helplessly explained, “I’m a Taiyin Taoist Body, my body naturally emits a cold Yin aura. Although refining it is beneficial to me, inevitably, my body will suffer some side effects…”

“Is that so…”

Du Gang said, “Then you should go back, sitting here doesn’t do anything…”

“Are you sure?”

Yu Shuiyao suddenly asked.

Du Gang was stunned and laughed, “Or what?”

“Will it affect the team?”

Full of curiosity, he asked, “Are you running a fever? What’s gotten into you?”

“Get lost!”

Yu Shuiyao cussed angrily, forgetting all about the pain in her stomach, she stood up, stomped fiercely on Du Gang’s foot, and left without looking back.

Shrugging his shoulders, Du Gang ignored her and returned to the arena.

At this moment, the fight on Yao Zixuan’s side had also reached a fever pitch.

This didn’t mean Yao Zixuan was weak, just that her opponent was strong.

It is worth noting that previously, Yao Zijie couldn’t even defeat his sister.

Of course, it also had something to do with Yao Zixuan not taking the fight seriously.

However, when she saw Du Gang chatting with Yu Shuiyao out of the corner of her eyes, her grip on her sword reflexively tightened.

Lady Sword?

No, she primarily cultivated another technique.

“Die!”

Yao Zixuan rushed forward and attacked.

Her opponent, like before, quickly dodged.

But for some reason, this time his movements were slower, giving Yao Zixuan an opportunity to stab him.

“Bang!”

With that single strike, the scholar was injured.

Yao Zixuan seized the opportunity to launch several consecutive attacks, eventually throwing him off the stage.

Compared to others’ victories, her win was plain. What surprised onlookers was that she didn’t use too many strategies.

She didn’t utilize her Nine Yin Body!

She didn’t use any powerful Supreme Techniques or Sage Techniques!

It seemed that she exclusively used her swordsmanship, and her opponent was knocked down.

“Brother Wang, it’s a pity you made a mistake…”

“Yes, I was distracted for a moment and she caught up to me. Maybe it’s because she’s too beauti …”

The scholar who was knocked down by Yao Zixuan didn’t think much of his defeat, he simply assumed he was careless.

Only a few curious people glanced at Yao Zixuan and began to ponder.

However, Du Gang also had some speculations.

Yao Zixuan was trained by the elder of Yao Family in numerology. She was best at the Law of Cause and Effect.

Therefore, he suspected that Yao Zixuan might have used some related metaphysical means, but this was merely speculation.

Seeing Yao Zixuan come down, Du Gang approached her with a smile and said, “Zixuan, congratulations!”

Yao Zixuan, however, seemed indifferent. She nodded slightly and left.

Watching this scene, Du Gang frowned.

What’s going on?

Forget it, the competition is about to end, and Long Aoshi will be on stage next…

At this thought, he quickly returned to the edge of the arena to watch the battle on Long Aotian’s stage.

“Divine Dragon Manifesting”

Long Aotian was formidable, as was his opponent.

He summoned the Divine Dragon, but still couldn’t defeat Yang Jun.

Yang Jun’s techniques differed from the rest, or rather, he had a few more tricks up his sleeve.

His divine brush, like a divine weapon, could block every strike of the formidable Divine Dragon.

This made Long Aotian very uncomfortable. The gap was so glaring that his wraith was suppressed and frozen mid-air. If it weren’t for his dragon body, which has powerful divine abilities, he would probably have been defeated by now.

Should he use his dragon power?

As the Azure Flood Dragon, if he uses his dragon body, it would make him look weak.

Although he was fighting in the arena, he could still sense the use of the phantom and the power of the physique.

Except for the twin Lolitas, no one else has used a phantom or drawn too much from their physique’s power.

If he is the only one who uses it, wouldn’t that make him lose face?!

But the problem was his opponent was extremely strong!

What should he do?!

Yang Jun smiled faintly and said, “Brother Long, you might as well use your physique. Though I am merely a mortal body, I have defeated a few with special bodies. Please let me witness yours!”

Hearing this, Long Aotian didn’t hesitate anymore. He immediately transformed into an Azure Flood Dragon, coiling and attacking Yang Jun.

“Roar~~!”

The dragon chant resounded throughout the world, startling everyone.

Everyone was shocked to see the twenty-meter-long Azure Dragon in the arena, gasping in amazement.

“Is this the power of a racial body? It’s so powerful…”

“After his transformation, he basically resembles the South Sea Azure Flood Dragons…”

“Yes, if he went to the South Sea, he might be able to live with the Azure Flood Dragons…”

“However, he probably can’t beat Brother Yang, can he?!”

Du Gang furrowed his brow.

Long Aotian had already unveiled his dragon form, yet these scholars still believed he couldn’t defeat Yang Jun. Just what hidden ability did Yang Jun possess?

On the stage.

A smile hung at the corner of Yang Jun’s mouth, he said, “Brother Long is indeed extraordinary. Since this is so, I should start getting serious.”

These words surprised the audience beneath the stage.

He hadn’t been taking things seriously before?

Was it true? Or a lie?!

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he didn’t disappoint the crowd. He lifted his divine pen again and started to inscribe on the golden foil.

Swish swish swish!

In an instant, a piece of golden foil emitting a boundless aura and divine charm rose into the sky.

“Suppress!”

This time, the floating golden foil above him was inscribed with just these two characters.

But these two characters were as heavy as Mount Tai, emanating a terrifying and formidable power of a sage, overflowing about him.

“This…”

“This aura, how far has he mastered the sage technique?!”

Even Du Gang was left startled and turned to look at Li Rubo.

Li Rubo smiled, neither hiding nor considering it to be a secret. He said, “Brother Yang is a genius. He barely entered the God Spirit Level, yet he has practiced his sage technique to two percent…”

“Don’t underestimate this mere one percent improvement, but the power contained within isn’t as simple as one plus one equals two … ”

“The power that can be released is simply terrifying!”

Indeed, on the stage, the Azure Dragon transformed by Long Aotian seemed to have been restrained by some inexplicable invisible cage at this moment, only able to fly within a certain area, unable to escape.

“Roar!!”

Long Aotian roared furiously, shaking the heavens.

“Boom!”

The next second, a vast throne rose into the air out of nothing.

“Here it comes!”

Du Gang was very interested.

This Long Aotian’s vision was not simple; it was a throne. Let’s see who is stronger!

“A vision, huh?!”

Yang Jun obviously had experience battling special physiques and was not the least bit flustered. He quickly raised his pen and began writing again.

“Swish swish swish!!”

This time, two brilliantly golden characters were formed.

“Seal!”

“Vroom!”

The moment this golden foil ascended, it issued an overwhelming might.

“Boom!”

The vision that originally rose into the air and suppressed everything, bizarrely encountered something terrifying in an instant and was sealed.

“It was actually sealed!”

Du Gang sighed in admiration.

“Long Aotian hasn’t developed his dragon body and visions much…”

“Yes, if he had developed them a little more, he wouldn’t have been sealed!”

On the stage, Long Aotian roared in fury, but it was of no use. His vision was suppressed near his body.

He overestimated his current Vision level and underestimated the sage technique.

This was, after all, created by a sage, and there was a qualitative change from one percent to two percent.

At this moment, others with special physiques, whether Yao Zijie, Sun Wufan, or even Dark Ghost Body You Sheng, all looked serious.

They were uncertain whether the results would be different if they were up there instead.

Such a technique that could suppress and seal visions was too terrifying.

However, Du Gang wasn’t too concerned. His strongest move at present wasn’t a special body, but the Jie-Character Secret.

With the Jie-Character Secret, he could increase his combat power by tenfold, attack power by tenfold, God Qi by tenfold, and Divine Power by tenfold.

With the Jie-Character Secret, he felt he could beat more than just one tribulation spirits like Yang Jun. Even if it was a two tribulation spirit, Du Gang felt he stood a chance!
