The Illusion Race did things flawlessly. Even if they only sent this letter, they sent it directly to the Equipment Refinery Hall instead of the mushroom house that Wang Zhong and Jhonas lived in. They wanted to draw a clear line between them and Wang Zhong.
"Phumetheus was born as a Solid Core and joined the Celestial Honors Class as soon as he entered the Heavenly Gates. He graduated as the top student in the 56th batch of pupils from the Violent Demon Era. After cultivating for more than 30 years, even though he was unable to break through to the Gold Core Realm, that was because he cultivated the Fire Demon Race's Soul Devouring Technique. He wanted to accumulate his level-2 true form before stepping into the Gold Core Realm. Thus, he had been suppressing his cultivation realm … "
In the mushroom house, Jhonas and Wang Zhong were looking through the stack of information. From Phumetheus's rise to glory, almost all of his experiences in the Heavenly Gates over the past dozen years were recorded in the information. Money made things easier. The Illusion Race's intelligence system was considered top-notch among the many civilizations in the Land.
Battle record number one: When he first entered the Celestial Honors Class, he single-handedly destroyed a level-5.5 civilization in his first Celestial Honors Mission. That was a powerful civilization that had already entered the level-6 assessment sequence and had dozens of Solid Core experts. A young fellow who had just stepped into the Heavenly Gates and entered the Celestial Honors Class was less than 20 years old. He was only a Solid Core, yet he was able to raze the entire civilization and kill all the experts above the Void Core realm.
Battle record number six: After entering the Celestial Honors Class for four years and three months, he destroyed the Iron Tank civilization with his own strength, beheaded 100,000 people, and eliminated the Iron Tank Marquis! The Iron Tank Marquis was a genuine Gold Core expert. Although there were good and bad Gold Cores from the various races in the Land, the word Gold Core represented a clear gap between them and the lower levels. Under normal circumstances, no matter how weak a Gold Core was, if he wanted to kill a Solid Core, he could kill them all with a wave of his hand! Regardless of whether it was his life level, spiritual power level, or consciousness level, the two were on completely different levels. It could be said that if the difficulty of a Void Core challenging a Solid Core was five, then the difficulty of a Solid Core challenging a Gold Core was five hundred or even a thousand!
Battle record number seven: Before graduating from the 56th batch of pupils from the Violent Demon Era, he had entered the Celestial Honors Class for four years and 11 months. During a spar in the "Revised Battle Arena", he defeated the Combat Cultivation Hall supervisor, Tsargesimon! At that time, the Fire Demon Race had boasted about this, and the Titans could not raise their heads for many years. This was even more explosive … Even Lao Wang's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
Lao Wang was rather clear about how strong Supervisor Tsargesimon was. Even though he usually did not bring out any useful information in class, he was only guiding many beginners to build their foundations. The supervisor's combat strength was rather terrifying. Based on Wang Zhong's evaluation, he should be ranked in the top 10 among the many supervisors in the Heavenly Gates! Even in the Corrected Arena, there was a powerful rune array that suppressed the Spiritual Energy Value of both sides to the same level. However, after all, his combat experience and consciousness were still at the Gold Core level … This was only Phumetheus's battle record from ten years ago. As he continued to scroll down, the information and difficulty of the Heavenly Demon World mission were listed one by one. As the sixth freak in the history of the Heavenly Gates to complete this mission at the Solid Core Realm, he was truly unimaginably powerful.
"Boss …" Jhonas's voice trembled slightly. He braced himself and said, "Why don't, why don't you just lower your head to the Fire Demon Race? I think that the Heavenly Shell Race will understand you. They can't help you with this kind of thing, and they can't just watch you die …"
"You don't think highly of me?" In reality, Lao Wang was also under a lot of pressure. Just from the information that the Illusion Race had sent, Phumetheus was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. To be honest, he had no confidence at all … Furthermore, he did not have the confidence to defeat Phumetheus, but the confidence to survive in the Life and Death Arena! This was a freakish genius that far exceeded the limits of a Solid Core. If he was also a Solid Core and had many trump cards, he might have the ability to fight against him. However, if he was only a Void Core … It would be difficult, very difficult! Just surviving would be very difficult.
"Damn, Boss, what are you saying?" Jhonas was speechless. Wang Zhong still had the mood to joke at this moment. When he saw this information, if he was the person involved, he would probably have peed his pants. "Let's talk about serious matters. The Heavenly Shell Race will definitely understand the situation you are facing now. In order to survive, why care so much? Furthermore, I see that the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince seems to be interested in you. She will definitely speak up for you behind your back. Even if you offend the Heavenly Shell Race, they probably won't go as far as to kill you. "
However, Lao Wang simply laughed. Jhonas's words had obviously been taken for granted. Did the Heavenly Shell Race really have good tempers? Even though he was on the same side as the Heavenly Shell Race, if he dared to publicly slap them, women would be much crazier than men when they went crazy. However, there was no need to explain this to Jhonas. The Illusion Race seemed normal on the surface, but regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong or the sharp Ma Dong, they could sense that the Illusion Race had started to maintain their distance. The Earth was indebted to the Illusion Race. Furthermore, even in this situation, the Illusion Race did not choose to hit them when they were down. This meant that they were rather good friends.
"What he said is right."
Just as Jhonas finished speaking, a female's voice sounded from the door. Celeste walked in. "Wang Zhong, don't enter the arena. Compromise with the Fire Demon Race. They have definitely tried to recruit you. If you side with them, this life and death battle will naturally be canceled!"
"They don't have high hopes for me?" Lao Wang did not know whether to laugh or cry. After this incident, he had actually been waiting for the Heavenly Shell Race's voice. If the Heavenly Shell Race had the intention to stop him, someone would have contacted him that night. However, there had been no movements until now, and Lao Wang already had an idea.
The Heavenly Shell Race did not plan to intervene in this matter. Regardless of their motives or considerations, they had made this decision. Furthermore, for Celeste to say this, she had definitely asked the Heavenly Shell Superintendent and obtained her promise. Just like what Jhonas had said, if he chose to draw a clear line between himself and the Heavenly Shell Race and join the Fire Demon Race, the Heavenly Shell Race would definitely be unhappy. However, at the very least, the Heavenly Shell Race would not want his life.
"It's not that I don't have high hopes for you, Wang Zhong." This was the first time that Celeste's expression was so serious. "Phumetheus and you are not on the same level, nor are you from the same world. Even in the entire Celestial Honors Class, he is considered a genius among geniuses, and his cultivation time is much longer than yours! Furthermore, I can tell you very responsibly that if he is willing to take the final step, he can directly advance to the Gold Core Realm at any time. With his strength, once he advances to the Gold Core Realm, he will be one of the top experts in the Land. He is not someone you can contend against now! "
"That's right, that's right!" Beside him, Jhonas violently nodded his head. Lao Wang smiled.
"I have already asked the superintendent. Although the superintendent appears very unyielding, she has already hinted to me that if you side with the Fire Demon Race, the Heavenly Shell Race will not really want your life." Celeste paused slightly. There were some things that she should not have said, but she did not expect that Wang Zhong actually had plans to go to the Life and Death Arena to face Phumetheus. "I know that you are proud, but you must not be blinded by a moment of impulse. Only by surviving will you have the possibility of realizing your dreams. Don't forget that you still have an entire race behind you that is relying on you."
"That's right, that's right!" Jhonas's head was slightly dizzy from all the pecking.
Looking at the concerned gazes of the two people in front of him, Lao Wang sighed in his heart. He really did not have many friends in the Heavenly Gates. Other than bone demon Pavaro, he only had these two people in front of him.
However, it was a pity that these two people still did not understand him well enough, let alone his situation. To put it bluntly, regardless of whether it was Jhonas or Celeste, they seemed to have seen a lot of the world and seemed to be able to see far into the future, but they had not experienced real setbacks and had not experienced real difficulties. Thus, they would not understand exactly where their current predicament was.
Celeste was right about one thing. He still had a race behind him that was relying on him. However, it was precisely because of this that he had no choice but to accept the challenge.
Looking at this matter itself, regardless of whether it was the level-8 Life and Death Contract from the Fire Demon Race or the Heavenly Shell Race's indifferent attitude of using a test as an excuse, to put it bluntly, in their eyes, Wang Zhong was just a toy. He was a medium in the battle between the two races.
What right did a toy have to speak? What right did an object have to speak? To put it bluntly, regardless of whether it was the Fire Demon Race or the Heavenly Shell Race, they just treated Wang Zhong as a chess piece in their game. Wang Zhong's attitude could not decide anything. Even if he chose to rely on the Fire Demon Race and escape this calamity, the news of the Life and Death Battle had spread throughout the Heavenly Gates, and the Fire Demon Race might not give him a chance to choose again. Even if the Fire Demon Race agreed, what about the Earth?
Even if the Heavenly Shell Race did not immediately deal with Wang Zhong, they just wanted to put on a noble and virtuous attitude. However, the Earth behind Wang Zhong would definitely suffer a calamity. The Earth civilization had obtained benefits from the Heavenly Shell Race and wanted to escape just like that? This was impossible even in his dreams. Even if the Heavenly Shell Race only took back all the gifts that they had given to the Earth and did not punish them harshly, the Earth that had suddenly risen over the past few days had attracted all sorts of jealousy and jealousy … This was the source that would cause the Earth to immediately sink into the abyss.
Furthermore, even if he did not mention this, what if there was a next time? The Fire Demon Race could use the level-8 Life and Death Contract to kill Wang Zhong. Could the Heavenly Shell Race, who was his enemy, not do the same? Could the Titan Race, who was also a level-8 civilization but was on the same side as the Heavenly Shell Race, not do the same?
Wang Zhong did not want to be a sacrifice in the battle between the two races, nor did he want to be their toy. If he wanted the two races to realize this, there was only one way. That was to defeat Phumetheus and display a miracle that was heaven-defying enough to make all the figures in the history of the entire divine territory and Land tremble in fear! Only then would he, who came from a low-leveled civilization, be able to make everyone treat him seriously. Then, he would jump out from the battle between the two races and become an independent third party. This was very difficult.
This was very difficult. Wang Zhong knew very well that the entire outside world, including Celeste, Jhonas, and the others, weren't baseless in their opinions about this battle. Even Wang Zhong himself was still thinking about the possibility of surviving from Phumetheus' hands, let alone defeating him. But so what? There were still nearly ten days before the life and death battle, but Lao Wang was not anxious. There would always be a way. The trace of Draconic Aura in his body had infinite possibilities. It was his greatest asset and trump card. Of course, this was not the only trump card …
"Okay, okay." Lao Wang smiled and said, "Friends, believe me. I am not hot-headed and will not put myself in a situation where I will definitely die. Wait patiently."
Lao Wang was also waiting. In addition to seizing all the time to cultivate his Draconic Aura, he was also waiting for his second trump card. However, this would depend on luck and fate.
After the topic of the life and death battle continued to ferment for about six or seven days, it had become more and more intense. The entire Heavenly Gates was discussing everything related to this battle. Many faces that the Heavenly Gates newcomers had never seen before surfaced. Even a few Masters from the Celestial Honors Class who were training outside had returned early from their missions.
A life and death battle between two Masters from the Celestial Honors Class was rare even in the entire history of the Heavenly Gates. It was considered very frequent if there were hundreds of such battles in an era. One had to know that an era had a thousand years, and such a battle was rarely seen in a decade. Furthermore, there were heavyweights from the Celestial Honors Class among the participants.
The entire Heavenly Gates was in heated discussion. Surprisingly, the topic of discussion was not about the outcome of this battle, but whether Wang Zhong would go up to the stage and whether he would be able to survive on the stage.
"I think that Wang Zhong will not be able to last more than ten seconds on the stage. He will be instantly killed without any chance of survival."
"It's not that exaggerated. After all, he's the second genius in the history of the Heavenly Gates to enter the Celestial Honors Class as a Void Core. The last person to do this was the Heavenly Shell Ancestor. He also stirred up a storm when he was in the Celestial Honors Class. He's not that easy to bully. "
"Hehe, that depends on who the opponent is. Phumetheus is a Solid Core in the history of the Heavenly Gates. Back then, the ancestor of the Heavenly Shell Shell had never faced such a Solid Core opponent in the Celestial Honors Class, right? "
"I still feel that Wang Zhong should be able to withstand a few blows. He shouldn't be that weak. As long as he can withstand a few blows … this freak's life preservation abilities are usually extremely strong."
"So what if he can withstand two moves? So what if he had a strong life-saving ability? The result would still be death. Don't forget that this was the Life and Death Arena. Even if Wang Zhong really had some kind of life-saving unique skill, once he lost the arena, his life would be in the hands of Phumetheus. If Phumetheus wanted him to live, he would live; if Phumetheus wanted him to die, he would die! Does he really think he can dodge it? "
"With Phumetheus's identity, if Wang Zhong shows enough strength, he shouldn't be so ruthless, right? After all, they are all fellow disciples of the Celestial Honors Class. "
"Naive! He has already entered the Life and Death Arena. Why is he still talking about being ruthless? Let me tell you, this matter is not as simple as it seems. It involves the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race … "
Various heated discussions and rumors spread like wildfire. Meanwhile, Lao Wang quietly stayed in the mushroom house to train. Ever since he had mastered the use of the Draconic Aura on the Ocean Empire Planet, his integration with the divine cells had reached a perfect level. For the time being, it would be difficult for him to make any substantial improvements. However, what Lao Wang wanted to train was to hide his appearance as much as possible.
When he faced Phumetheus, he probably couldn't hide his Draconic Aura, but Lao Wang didn't intend to directly expose it. He wanted to disguise himself as much as possible and try to find as little trouble for himself as possible. It had always been Lao Wang's style to think three steps ahead before taking one step.
The mushroom house had been sealed, and Wang Zhong entered his fragment world. The space here was extremely stable and well-hidden. He could use the Ice and Fire Wings, the Draconic Aura, and all his trump cards here without worrying about being coveted by others.
At that moment, the Draconic Aura and spiritual influence that had been replicated by the divine cells were integrated into the Ice and Fire Wings. Under Wang Zhong's deliberate guidance and suppression, he wanted to unify his power and improve his consciousness realm. The most important thing about reading in the Scripture Pavilion was to broaden one's horizons and choose what was suitable for oneself.
It seemed that Lao Wang's luck had started to turn after he calmly waited. The second key had finally arrived. Even though he had a certain level of confidence, honestly speaking, Lao Wang wasn't very confident.
That was until Senior Lavel sent him a letter.
"The second-level Soul Steel has been nurtured and will soon enter the final stage of forging the sword. It will take about three days. Come quickly!"
When he saw this news, Lao Wang couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. According to the time given by Senior Lavel, the nurturing of the Soul Steel would probably be completed in a few days. However, if he delayed for another two days, the time limit of the Life and Death Arena would be up, and he wouldn't have enough time to forge the sword. And now, the timing was just right! Over this period of time, he had been waiting for this!
There was no doubt that Senior Lavel had obviously worked overtime. Most importantly, Senior Lavel was from the Fire Demon Race. However, when she helped him in this matter, Lao Wang couldn't help but feel that this wasn't real.
At first glance, Phumetheus seemed to be a practical person like Wang Zhong. Sometimes, he didn't pay attention to details. If Phumetheus had a weapon, it would definitely be very powerful and handy. Wang Zhong was lacking in this aspect.
