"Gorst. Fourth place. One point!"
Ghost Gorst's strength was not inferior to the top two. Together with the top two, he was one of the top three experts of the new generation in the Combat Cultivation Hall. He had been delayed for so long mainly because of his luck.
To be honest, no matter who won or lost, even though they looked disdainful, they would not be unconvinced in their hearts. At most, they would fight for it the next time. Although the difference in points between the top three was rather large, this was only the first lesson in the Combat Cultivation Hall. In the future, there would be many opportunities to earn points. It was obvious that the three of them had long since viewed each other as future competitors that were worthy of their attention.
After all, there were 900 new pupils in the huge Combat Cultivation Hall, and only these three could catch each other's eyes. However, what was the point of losing to an Earthling called Wang Zhong?
The expressions of the three of them were clearly rather gloomy, and their gazes at Wang Zhong were as unhappy as they could be. However, the silver Titan supervisor was right beside them, and it was not good for them to flare up. Furthermore, after these three people, they waited for over half an hour before other people started to come out one after another.
"Tony. Fifth place. One point!"
From the fourth place to the tenth place, all of them only had one point. Meanwhile, those who finished after that only reached the standard and would not have any points deducted.
The long wait continued until evening. Since the start of the Three Great Halls, this was definitely the longest class that had lasted. The spectators at the side had already impatiently left, but there were still many people fighting in the boundary cloth.
The silver Titan supervisor had finished drinking the immortal grass tea in his cup and had no intention of continuing to wait. He waved his large hand, and the boundary cloth that was floating in the air flew into his hand with a whoosh. Closely after, the silver Titan supervisor casually shook it, as if he was shaking off a pile of dust. Then, he tossed out the remaining few dozen fellows who were still fighting to the death.
"Time's up!"
Tsargesimon lazily yawned. It was obvious that he had not set a time beforehand and completely depended on his mood. "Those who do not reach the standard will have five points deducted. Those who are killed will have ten points deducted. Dismissed!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, especially the group of people who had been tossed out at the end. Many of them had already killed eight or even nine enemies and were completely exhausted. Even the last enemy was about to fall, but this fellow had tossed them out. Even if they did not pass, they still had five points deducted?
"Supervisor! This is not fair! "
"Yes, we didn't set a time. I'm about to kill ten of them! But it was forcibly stopped! "
"Someone took advantage of the situation to get first place, but we still got points deducted when we fought with our lives on the line. There are too many loopholes in such a test! "
Immediately, many people protested in dissatisfaction. But before they could finish shouting, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky. This was a real bolt from the blue. With a loud bang, the guy who complained that this test was a pain in the ass was struck. In an instant, his whole body was charred black and stiff. He stood there like a piece of charcoal, unable to move. It felt like even the air in his nostrils was gone.
Everyone instantly fell silent out of fear. Being struck by lightning at the slightest disagreement was too terrifying.
"You guys are quite lucky." Tsargesimon lazily said to those fellows who had been complaining about various unfairness, "I usually only pick the tallest ones to kill. I'll kill whoever is the loudest. Don't talk to me!"
The members of the Combat Cultivation Hall looked at each other helplessly. That charcoal-like figure was stuck to the ground like a tree that had been struck by lightning. Even now, there were still electric currents circling around him and drilling in and out of his nostrils … Could there be another one?
"Very good." Tsargesimon was very satisfied with the silencing effect of the surroundings. "Remember, in the Combat Cultivation Hall, I have the final say. Fair? I am fair! "
Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter as they watched the Titan supervisor leave. Even after he had taken a few steps away, he seemed to have thought of something and walked back. He threw out a large stack of books as if he was performing a magic trick. "Oh, right. I almost forgot. These are the basic compendiums of the three major schools of martial cultivation. Each of you can take one back home and read it. If you can't understand it, you can go eat sh * t."
The crowd was in an uproar. … Was this a Martial Cultivator? Why was it so different from the script they had imagined? To be honest, although the Combat Cultivators were the "weakest" in the Heavenly Gates, in reality, they were the strongest. Unless they ascended to the Heavenly Gates, the Combat Cultivators were the ones with the most dominating power. It was useless to talk about other things. If they could not ascend, then they would be the king if they could fight.
Thus, there was no lack of Combat Cultivators who wanted to dominate the Land. In reality, they were all qualified to come here. The Heaven had set the rules, but they did not interfere with the situation below.
But these future "rulers" seemed to have been insulted. What the hell was this about going home to read the outline? You are the supervisor! You are the supervisor in charge of teaching!
Everyone in the Combat Cultivation Hall looked at each other. The teaching method of this Titan supervisor was really … completely incomparable to that of the Pill Refinery Hall and the Equipment Refinery Hall!
This time, when the Titan supervisor was far away from everyone's line of sight, someone speechlessly went forward to take a so-called outline booklet. Wang Zhong also took one.
It was rather thin. He casually flipped it open and took a look. It introduced some basic concepts. The Combat Cultivation Hall was mainly divided into three major combat systems. Frankly speaking, there were three different methods of attack.
The most powerful was naturally the cultivation of lightning techniques. This lightning technique was not like lightning in the ordinary understanding. Instead, it was a lightning technique that belonged to the most ferocious attack in the divine territory. It was in line with the Heavenly Way and could appear in many ways. For example, the silver Titan, who cultivated lightning all over his body, was just a form of appearance. In reality, it was a rather profound and complicated comprehensive subject.
Next was the cultivation of goblin techniques, which were similar to special abilities that were commonly understood. For example, the Soul Devouring Technique, demonic fog, transformation, Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, and other goblin techniques were powerful techniques that were practiced through spiritual power, techniques, or even artifacts. They were also the main subjects of most Combat Cultivation.
Meanwhile, the third type was body techniques, which involved physical combat and various combat techniques. To be honest, this was the type that people did not think highly of the most.
In reality, the so-called almighty experts only used one technique to dominate the world. Although body techniques were widely used, in reality, they had no special characteristics. Only those from low-leveled civilizations had no natural endowments and were unable to create lightning techniques or goblin techniques. Thus, they had no choice but to cultivate this type. In particular, the first two methods had to rely on their Void Core.
Wang Zhong felt that Yin Jiao's combat standards were very poor. Firstly, his own body techniques and combat techniques were too high. Secondly, Yin Jiao's goblin techniques had not been successful. He had used his half-baked goblin techniques to fight against a peak body technique expert. In a situation where both parties did not have an overwhelming advantage in terms of spiritual power, the result was obvious.
Regardless of whether it was thunder magic or demonic arts, their true strength came in the later stages. As for physical skills, as their strength increased, their fighting style changed, and so on, the further they progressed, the weaker they would become … For example, if other people who cultivated demonic arts were a few hundred meters tall with a Heavenly Phenomenon, who would they be able to hit with their little fists? They would simply stomp them to death.
Lao Wang was very clear about this. There was a limit to techniques. It was very difficult for a Casted Soul soldier to fight against a Heroic Soul soldier. It was not like the strongest Casted Soul was fighting against the weakest Heroic Soul, but this was a real situation. As Wang Zhong was clear about this, he knew that he could not be anxious. When faced with this kind of situation, he first had to stabilize his own situation and increase his status. Then, he would seize the opportunity to find a way for humans to achieve their Void Core.
This was not just a method of one person, but a pioneering method for the entire human civilization. To be honest, the other high-leveled civilizations were already burning incense if they did not strangle you. With the learning ability of humans, as long as they discovered a method, not only would Wang Zhong, but other people would also rapidly improve. Everything was difficult at the beginning. Whoever could take the first step would be able to change the status of the human race.
The lesson ended … Lao Wang left under the watchful gazes of a group of people. No one dared to glare at the Titan supervisor, but they could still glare at this despicable and shameless victor. If looks could kill, Lao Wang would have died 10,000 times.
"Look at how arrogant he is when he walks. I really want to beat him up!"
"How can such a despicable and shameless fellow be worthy of being number one?"
The discussions behind him continued, but Lao Wang simply smiled. This was only the first day, but he seemed to have offended all of his fellow pupils in the Combat Cultivation Hall.
When he returned to the mushroom house, Flying Pig Jhonas was grinning from the bed like a plate of egg fried rice.
"Boss! You're too impressive! "
"You helped me pull aggro very steadily." Lao Wang glared at Flying Pig with ill intentions. "You're the finishing touch."
Lao Wang was just joking. The Pill Refinery Hall was his goal. However, if he wanted to break through, he had to perform and obtain points. It was unavoidable to steal the limelight from some people and offend some people. However, this kind of "offending" was only because there was a gap in their understanding of his identity and strength in the beginning. This was a necessary process. There was no difference between being more violent or gentle.
As for looking down on others, he would not lose a piece of flesh. What was even more amazing was that the pupils from the other small Factions and powers lived cautiously here, not only because they were not strong enough, but also because of the influence of external powers. Pupils from the same Faction could not kill each other, but if they really offended the Crown Prince Faction, it would only take one word for them to destroy a level-6 Faction.
However, Lao Wang was not afraid. The Earthlings did not even have a nest in the divine territory. Were they already in a miserable state? As the saying went, those who had nothing to lose were not afraid of those who wore shoes. Speaking of which, this was an advantage.
Jhonas laughed awkwardly. He did not know if Lao Wang was planning to stretch his muscles after saying this. At this moment …
Bang bang bang …
There was a series of knocks on the door. Jhonas rushed out as if he was flying. "Boss, sit down! I'll go and open the door! "
There was a messenger from the insect race outside the door. This insect messenger looked rather extraordinary. It had wide and long transparent wings, and its body was like a ladybug. It was not very big and was about a foot long. There was a pouch in its abdomen. When Jhonas opened the door, two envelopes with the golden Heavenly Gates seal shot out from the pouch and steadily landed on the table.
Hum ~
After the beetle messenger delivered the letters, it flapped its wings and disappeared with a whoosh. It was extremely fast.
"How cool!" Jhonas's eyes lit up when he saw this. "How cool. This is a golden-shelled insect. Tsk tsk, a high-quality messenger from the insect race!"
Messengers were a very large occupation in the Alliance. There were various races, but not every creature could be a messenger. The divine territory had very strict boundaries. Golden-shelled insects were relatively outstanding messengers from the insect race. They had a beautiful appearance and were extremely fast. Furthermore, they were serious and strict. They did not play around and were considered high-quality messengers.
"Read the letter first."
Wang Zhong did not have any extravagant hopes for messengers. Since they were stamped with the Heavenly Gates seal, it should be a point-accumulating mission.
The envelopes were solid, and he could feel a hard object. When he opened them, he saw three letters and a Star Alliance token with the word "Martial" in each envelope.
"These are point-accumulating missions from the Three Great Halls."
"Pill Refinery Mission: Gather 26 ingredients for the level-7 Blood and Muscle Regeneration Pill. Reward: 10 points. Pill Refinery pupils who do not complete the mission will have 10 points deducted. "
"Weapon Refinery Mission: Gather 100 kilograms of active Agadas metal. Reward: 10 points. Weapon Refinery pupils who do not complete the mission will have 10 points deducted. "
"Combat Cultivation Mission: Snatch a Combat Cultivation Token from a fellow pupil. Reward: 10 points. This mission cannot be repeated. Combat Cultivation pupils who do not complete the mission will have 10 points deducted. "
The mission was simple and clear. Pupils from the Three Great Halls only had to complete the mission from their own Hall. If not, points would be deducted. They could choose whether to complete the missions from the other Halls. If they completed it, they would be rewarded. If they did not complete it, there would be no punishment.
Lao Wang carefully looked at the 26 ingredients required for the Pill Refinery Mission. When he looked at them, his head started to swell. He had never even heard of the names of many of the materials. Although he had learned some general knowledge from Boss Sea and recognized some spiritual flowers and rare herbs, Boss Sea was just a small shop. Refining a ninth-grade pill was already the most he could do. How many precious things could he have come into contact with? Wang Zhong had only seen one or two ingredients for refining a level-7 pill from Boss Sea. Furthermore, many of the ingredients sounded high-end just from their names. Only the heavens knew how much they had to pay to obtain them. Furthermore, the Pill Refinery Hall required them to refine a level-7 pill from the very start? One had to know that Boss Sea had squeezed himself into a pill Faction and was still refining a level-9 pill even after learning for 10 years. This was really …
"I know about active Agadas metal." When it came to weapon refinery materials, Jhonas was definitely a professional. "This thing is commonly known as black gold. It is the most basic forging material and has a very high conductivity for the soul. Even though 100 kilograms of it is slightly more, it is still alright. It is not too expensive."
"How much does it cost?" Lao Wang asked as if he was possessed.
"Not much, just around 30 Gold Star Stones." Jhonas said in a rich and overbearing manner, "It's a small matter."
Lao Wang shut his mouth. His entire fortune was enough to buy one-third of it … Even a basic material for weapon refinery was so expensive. Now, he did not dare to imagine the price of the 26 ingredients for refining a level-8 pill. It would definitely be rather amusing.
Then, there was the last mission, the Combat Cultivation Mission.
This was the simplest. All the new pupils had been given a Combat Card. They just had to kill one and snatch their Combat Card. Of course, there was a restriction. They could not snatch someone's Combat Card while their level was lower.
For example, Pill Refinery Hall pupils could only snatch from Pill Refinery Hall pupils and could not attack the Equipment Refinery Hall or the Combat Cultivation Hall. On the other hand, the Equipment Refinery Hall could challenge the Pill Refinery Hall, but they could not attack the Combat Cultivation Hall. Meanwhile, the Combat Cultivation Hall did not have any taboos. This was also a form of protection. If not, if the Solid Core experts from the Pill Refinery Hall came down, they would probably wipe out all the pupils in the Combat Cultivation Hall in minutes.
The two of them looked at the mission together. After looking at the mission, Lao Wang turned his gaze to Jhonas. Jhonas instantly shivered and shrank into a corner, as if he had been electrocuted. He had a vigilant expression. "Boss, you can't be that inhumane, right?"
What kind of joke was this? A scoundrel who could instantly kill 10 Combat Cultivation Hall pupils would definitely be able to kill him easily. Wang Zhong could not help but laugh. This fellow was too timid.
Wang Zhong could not help but laugh. This little fellow was too timid. During the battle in the Combat Cultivation Hall during the day, it seemed that he had won easily, but in reality, some people in the Combat Cultivation Hall had rather terrifying spiritual power, such as bone goblin Pavaro, Ghost Gorst, and Balor from the Blood Demon race … In Lao Wang's eyes, the Spiritual Energy Value of these people was deep and unfathomable. They were existences that could suppress him in terms of power and speed. Once they broke through a certain threshold, it would be very difficult for him to unleash his combat techniques. Although his performance was slightly outstanding, Wang Zhong knew that these people had not developed any interest in him.
"This mission is not difficult. If there are any that are convenient, I will help you complete them," said Wang Zhong. He would not consider weapon refinery, but pill refinery … This was a headache.
Jhonas was dumbfounded. Then, his eyes started to spin. "Boss, you are too kind. I, Jhonas, am also loyal. I will take care of all your pill refinery materials … Of course, I am borrowing them."
"All of them?"
"All of them!"
Lao Wang did not stand on ceremony. "That's settled. When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely return them to you!"
Jhonas was definitely the type who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. Although the Illusion race was only a level-5 civilization, many families in the Illusion race were bosses in the Chamber of Commerce in the Land. Furthermore, due to the special nature of weapon refinery, on one hand, they used public weapons like the Nebula Sword to accumulate a large amount of wealth and faith resources from the Lower Civilizations. On the other hand, they maintained good cooperative relationships with some large powers in the divine territory.
Jhonas had never encountered such a strange person like Wang Zhong. It was not a coincidence that he had been assigned to Wang Zhong. Instead, it had been arranged. The Illusion race was famous for being hostages. Almost all the members of the Illusion race in the Heavenly Gates had the experience of being "beaten up by rich people". Thus, this time, they had specially assigned the "weakest" to him. However, they did not expect that this weakest person would be better at fighting than him. However, this was within Jhonas's expectations.
A low-leveled civilization that had not seen the world definitely would not have such a big appetite. However, Jhonas never imagined that this fellow would really act like a big brother and not snatch him away. To be honest, the Illusion race had never encountered such a good thing, let alone someone who had offered to help them. As a result, even the Flying Pig could not display his acting skills. Very quickly, Jhonas adjusted himself. In the entire divine territory, the Illusion race had their own unique skills to be able to live so comfortably.
"Then let's go to the Heavenly Gates Street tomorrow!" Jhonas had already jumped up, and his face was filled with excitement. Lao Wang's material was settled, but Jhonas felt that his future life in the Heavenly Gates was settled. "That's the most high-end business district in the inner circle of the Heavenly River. Almost everything is there. That's right, that's right. We can also buy a messenger along the way.
It's convenient! "In the divine territory, especially within the Heavenly Gates, other than the Machinery race who could use radio waves to communicate or some special civilizations who relied on their race's special characteristics, most other civilizations needed messengers, just like the insect that had delivered the letter.
"Why are they so backward?" Lao Wang was slightly puzzled. Back in the Heavenly Treasures Street, he had already discovered this strange phenomenon. As humans from a level-4 civilization, they were able to develop super convenient Skylinks in the Holy City or even on Earth. However, when they came to the divine territory, where various peak civilizations gathered, their communications were lagging behind. Back in the Heavenly Treasures Street, Lao Wang had thought that it was because Old Cow and the others were not wealthy enough. However, he never expected that it would be the same in the Heavenly Gates.
