I'm A Wasteland Giant Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Chapter 178: The Battle for the Strongest Newcomer's Top spot!

Translator: 549690339

Where there are people, there are underworlds. The presence of pure inevitably indicates the existence of wicked.

There is a peculiar black market outside the Arrogant Academy.

It not only houses a variety of prohibited goods but also contains unnamed light computers, a veritable haven for criminals. Many infamous Star Thieves frequented this place.

Outside the Arrogant Academy, a man tightly wrapped in robes moved swiftly and silently towards the black market.

In no time, he reached the entrance.

Seeing him so securely wrapped, the two burly doorkeepers took no notice. Many people who came here held distinguished statuses in the open world. It was very normal for them to hide their identities.

“Am I being followed?”

The thin man asked in a low, hoarse voice, as if swallowing his words.

“Huh! ”

The two guards at the door scoffed, “Go on in. With us here, who would dare to follow you… There isn't even a ghost behind you!”

Hearing this, the thin man breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with satisfaction and quickly went in.

Shortly after he entered, two invisible figures slowly revealed themselves, exchanged glances with the two guards at the door, and walked in.

Although the black market wasn't large, it was fully stocked.

Just as the thin man walked in, he was approached and asked about his purpose.

“I want to use an unnamed light computer!” It was still a voice that was squeezed hoarsely.

“Okay, you know the price, right?!”

“Yes!”

“Then follow me!”

Soon enough, the thin man was escorted to a secluded room.

“Hurry up. You must log off after half an hour. If you overstay, you're not leaving this place. Got it?!”

“Understood!” “Hmm!”

“Bang!”

The door closed, leaving the thin man alone in the room. He immediately picked up the light computer on the table and after turning it on, found he could log in directly to the virtual universe without a scan of his identity.

Meanwhile, in a sealed area of the black market, the two shadows that had entered with the thin man suddenly revealed themselves.

“We want to check a person!”

A manager, after glancing at the two men's tokens, gave a slight nod and stepped aside.

Inside the virtual universe.

After the thin man entered the virtual universe, he immediately went to a sparse-attendance shuttle and swiftly entered. Simultaneously, the shopkeeper was told a password whilst others were distracted.

Immediately, the shopkeeper guided him not to a normal dining booth for guests, but a secret room.

Inside the secluded room, sat an old man who asked as soon as he saw the

hood still concealing the thin man's face, “You can show your face now!” The thin man gave a nod in response and quickly took off the hood.

“Ning peng?”

The old man in the room recognized him instantly, 'Why are you dressed like this?”

Ning Peng, being the first imperial son of the Ning family's generation, was naturally recognizable.

Having stopped disguising his voice, Ning Peng quickly said, “I have uncovered a shocking secret here, one that concerns whether our family can rise again…” “What kind of secret?”

“It's related to a deity and the Jiang family from the Cosmic Colosseum…”

He quickly recounted the predicament involving the Ancient Divine and the Jiang family.

The old man instantly perked up, “Ning Peng, you've done well!”

“I will personally inform the family head of this information. You need to hurry back, don't draw any attention!”

“Alright!”

Ning Peng too was excited, he agreed quickly, put his hood back on, and quickly left.

Little did he know, every step he took, even in the virtual universe, was completely captured by a special device in reality.

The two figures who had been pursuing Ning Peng exchanged glances and swiftly made their outside contact. “Sir, he has released the news…” “Who did he send it to?”

“The Ning Family… shall we apprehend him?”

After a second of silence, the voice on the other end refused, “No need. Since the news is out, apprehending him now could just raise the alarm. You two just keep following him!”

“Yes, sir!”

After ending the communication, Tang Rent s brows furrowed slightly.

The so-called anonymous light computer was provided by Luo Shan.

In the virtual universe, there were many such anonymous light computers, seemingly anonymous but actually subject to monitoring.

The Virtual Universe Company had deliberately leaked them, and even some of the black markets had been created by them…

Tang Ren had not expected that Ning Peng would eventually take this step.

“Ah, you chose this path yourself…”

Then he began to think, they couldn't risk making a move on Ning Peng now, as it might alarm them.

After considering, he directly said to the smart brain, “Prepare a report on the current situation of the Ning Family for me!”

“Yes, sir!”

It only took the smart brain one second to compile the relevant information.

“Once a top power on the Qiankun Continent, they offended Luo Shan ten million years ago and several dozen of their Sector Lord-level warriors were killed, causing their power to decline dramatically…”

“Stop!”

Tang Ren shook his head, “Don't report on the Ning Family's past affairs. I know more than you. Just tell me about their current situation…”

“Ning Family, a top-tier power on the Qiankun Continent, with a Sector Lord-level Ninth Rank family head. The family also has eight Sector Lords and several Domain Lords…”

After listening to some information, Tang Ren laughed and shook his head, “This family, always producing stupids, so many years of rest and recuperation, but only have nine Sector Lords, they are still not worry-free!” Millions or years ago, tne nrst prince or tne Ning Family nacl Deen constantly bothering Luo Shan, even using the power of the entire family.

For Luo Shan to have grown smoothly, Tang Ren had spent a lot of effort fighting the Ning Family's men back then.

“The Ning Family… I wonder what methods they will employ!”

After thinking for a while, he quickly ordered, “The number of shadow guards will be doubled, and their training intensified… At the same time, several nearby black markets should be monitored for any unfamiliar visitors…”

The customers of the nearby black markets had been thoroughly understood through years of operation. They were all regulars, so they could clearly see if anyone from outside came.

“Should we inform Du Gang about the Ning Family's news?

“Not for now, just make sure to increase protection…”

Not long after returning, Ning Peng sought out the strongest student of the first-year class.

Wu Tao, the ferocious criminal, Ninth Rank of the Cosmic Level, and six areas of Fire Elements, was undoubtedly the first place in this batch of freshmen. Not only was he invincible in the six-element domain, but he had also previously defeated seven-element domain strongmen while still in his six-element domain! “You want me to challenge Du Gang?”

Wu Tao calmly responded.

Of Du Gang, he had heard, knowing that he held the title of strongest newcomer, but he didn't care.

As far as he was concerned, Du Gang was just a showoff.

Just a guy who hadn't even reached the microscopic level, he merely didn't want to waste time paying attention.

Seeing Wu Tao seemed somewhat fearful, Ning Peng, also a six-domain practitioner, felt Wu Tao was extraordinarily different. His entire demeanor exuded an air of wild savagery and relentless killing.

There were rumors that in order to train his courage and heart, Wu Tao often ate human flesh raw…

Although it sounded absurd, spying on the barbarian-like Wu Tao, who was half a head taller than him, Ning Peng could smell the scent of blood in the air, and he swallowed, nodding his head, “Yes, you are the top of this class. The title of the strongest newcomer naturally belongs to you…”

“Hmph!”

Wu Tao snorted coldly.

Suddenly Ning Peng held his breath, not knowing why, but when he saw Wu Tao, he felt a natural sense of inferiority. It was as if Wu Tao was a higher-level creature…

Suddenly, he thought of a rumor, Wu Tao was a Class 1 Bloodline Berserker… “If you dare to spout such nonsense again, I'll tear you to shreds and eat you!”

Listening to Wu Tao's ruthless words, Ning Peng shuddered and hastily said, “I mean no disrespect, I'm offering equivalent goods worth one hundred million credits for your service, to challenge Du Gang in a non-virtual competition…” Wu Tao spoke impatiently, “A non-virtual competition, how do I fight?”

Ning Peng quickly explained, “You're the first one to be admitted, if you apply to the academy and show your dissatisfaction with Du Gang's 'Strongest

Freshman' title, then the academy will give you the chance to challenge him..

Wu Tao narrowed his eyes. He was tempted by this proposal because the title of 'Strongest Freshman' did carry some privileges. He decided against the fight earlier, as it seemed like a waste of time. His main goal was to get good results in the elimination competition.

However, if someone was willing to offer resources valued at one hundred million credits, asking him to claim the title of 'Strongest Freshman', he was willing to play along.

“Besides the resources you mentioned worth one hundred million credits, I want an additional one hundred million credits as a bet!”

Wu Tao might look like a barbarian, but he certainly wasn't one.

“Agreed!” Ning Peng had already put forward one hundred million credits, what difference would another one hundred million make?

The reason why the Ning family sent Ning Peng to invite Wu Tao was not to ask him to kill Du Gang. With the Dean's protection, it wasn't realistic. So, they just wanted Wu Tao to test and see to what degree Du Gang's strength had reached.

Du Gang's breakthrough to sixth rank meant that he could be immune to all mental attacks on a universal level, which would be equivalent to him successfully passing the first six layers of the Illusion Tower.

However, instead of advancing to the seventh layer, he returned to the Wuzheng Tower and continued his training.

With seventeen days left until the start of the elimination competition, the only way he could think to quickly increase his strength was to advance from the microscopic realm to the insight realm.

However, after practicing for three days, he hadn't made much progress; he was unable to even enter the doorway of the insight realm.

However, the good news was that he could now stay in the seventh layer for a longer time, at the very least he wouldn't be eliminated the moment he entered.

One day, after being ejected from the tower due to being overwhelmed by the sharp gold aura of the insight realm, someone nearby suddenly spoke up to stop him.

“Du Gang, wait a minute!”

He turned his head to look. It was a familiar face from the White Dragon Class, although he didn't remember his name.

'What's the matter?”

The male student hastened to speak, “Du Gang, the top-ranked student this year has issued a challenge to our White Dragon Class, intending to fight you for the title of the 'Strongest Freshman'. It's said that he went to the academy to apply. It's very likely that the academy will agree too…'

“Oh?!”

Du Gang became interested, thanking him with a smile, “I see, thank you!”

Thanked by Du Gang, the male student was flustered, “No need to thank me, we are classmates…

After he left, Du Gang then opened his Light Computer to ask, “Bala, what's going on?”

Bala quickly sprang up in its sprite form, “It's about this generation's strongest young man from the Qiankun continent, named Wu Tao, who has won the local open audition as the first rank. He came out of seclusion because you took the title of the 'Strongest Freshman' and applied to the academy for a fight…”

“In terms of strength, he is at the Ninth Rank Universal level, with a Sixth Domain. His battle record includes victories over seventh domain holders…” Fights with Seventh Domain holders?

Du Gang pondered for a moment. Right now, he was at the Fifth Domain, and before understanding the microscopic realm, he could dispatch Sixth Domain holders in mere seconds. However, now that he had understood and entered the microscopic realm, he should have no problem facing opponents who could be compared to those in the Seventh Domain!

At this moment, Bala suddenly spoke, “Here it comes, Du Gang, the academy's message has arrived. They have agreed to Wu Tao's challenge, and, what's more, they are asking the fight to be carried out offline, and are proposing a bet of a hundred million credits…

“A hundred million credits?”

Du Gang laughed, “Oh, do the academy allow students to make such bets?”

“They do, it's a tradition handed down from the past, it's never been abolished!” Thinking of his transformed form that was a hundred kilometers in size and the Ancient Divine Spear, which had been accumulating energy since the defeat of Zhou Haotian and had not been disengaged from his body, Du Gang showed a faint smile.

“He wants to fight, let's fight, but a hundred million credits are too less, tell him, if he wants a battle, it's at least a billion!” Soon, Bala posted Du Gang's declaration on the internet.

Suddenly, it caused a huge stir.

Just as everyone was keen to see if Wu Tao would accept the bet.

Wu Tao's response also arrived.

“Du Gang, you guy, quite arrogant. A billion credits, you're actually giving them to me, I must take it!”

“Since you accepted the challenge, then there's no need to waste time. Let's meet in the arena. Come over now, I'm waiting for you!”

This response immediately blew up the whole campus network. Everyone stopped their training and work, they all rushed towards the arena district as if flying.

“Damn, this is a big bet of a billion credits, how do these guys have so much money!”

“Think about it, Du Gang alone, from the last competition, with one hundred and sixty thousand victories, had almost received thirty-two billion credits. A billion credits is just a third of his total!”

“And, Wu Tao, he's even richer! Wu Tao is the first prince among the top ten powerful clans on our Qiankun continent and also the first-rank holder of this generation. What do you think?!”

The first place in Qiankun continent, compared to the first place in ten thousand elementary cosmic countries, is on two completely different levels.

At this moment, even Qiao Jin, who hasn't been aware of the outside world and has been practicing hard, has stopped his practice and is flying towards the battle platform area.

It's clear that he is also looking forward to the fight between Du Gang and this year's first place.

Not to mention the freshmen, even some sophomores who were startled, all rushed to the battle platform area.

After all, a considerable number of the second-year students are also participating in this Cosmic Peak Talents Competition, they should take a look at the highest level of the freshmen.

In the eyes of everyone, the match between Du Gang and Wu Tao can be considered the strongest battle among the freshmen.

One is the guy who won the first place in Qiankun continent through the regular open audition.

The other is the guy who won the title of 'Strongest Newbie King' by achieving 160,000 consecutive victories in just three days after school started.

Although the two have never fought before, they have achieved unthinkable records in different areas.

“I think Wu Tao has a better chance of winning!”

“I think so too, after all, Wu Tao is the first place in our Qiankun continent…”

Most of the local students from Qiankun continent believe that Wu Tao has a greater chance of winning. Compared to Du Gang, they understand Wu Tao better.

“That's not necessarily true. Du Gang has won 160,000 battles consecutively, and many of his victories were against Sixth Rank domain users!”

“That's right, the school granting Du Gang the title of 'Strongest Newbie King' tells everything. In the past, can you recall anyone who got this title?”

For the people from ten thousand star systems, Du Gang is more familiar to them. After all, Du Gang represents them, all from the suburbs.

For a moment, students from the two different homes, developed a sense of rivalry.

At this moment, a third-year student with great strength suddenly jumped out.

Everyone saw that there was a third-year student as a guarantor, and they immediately sprung into action.

They started making bets….

In no time, with the help of that third-year student and Bai Xiaosheng, most of the people present placed their bets.

At this moment, the area around the largest arena was already packed with nearly two million people, almost all of whom had placed a bet.

“Uncle, we've made a fortune!”

Bai Xiaosheng was excited. Those were two million people! Luckily, he was quick in contacting his third-year cousin in time and grabbed the opportunity to open the betting.

But before they could celebrate, suddenly, a man from the academy, Ji Xiu, appeared. He is in charge of the Discipline Inspection Department.

“The academy does not allow students to set up private betting stations. Are you prepared to accept the punishment? Or would you rather offset your future merits by handing over this betting station to the academy now?”

Bai Xiaosheng stared at Ji Xiu's sinister smile, almost in tears. They could have made a lot from this big deal….

“Teacher, we collected this for the academy. Can you give us a small compensation for our effort?”

Bai Xiaosheng had a bitter face. Since the academy was on to them, they had no choice but to hand it over.

But Ji Xiu gave them an indifferent look, “It seems that you want to spend some time in jail.”

“No, we don't want that!”

After Bai Xiaosheng's uncle yelled, he quickly dragged Bai Xiaosheng away.

They didn't stop until they reached a deserted place.

“Uncle, are we just letting it go like this?”

Bai Xiaosheng still couldn't accept it. They collected the money with their own hands, why did they simply hand it over?

But his uncle looked relieved, “You have no idea how terrible that guy Ji Xiu is. If he wasn't in a good mood today, we would have been tortured….”

“Is it really that exaggerated?”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at his uncle's exaggerated gesture, not really convinced.

“Haha, you have no idea how terrifying the Discipline Inspection Department people can be under Ji Xiu's leadership…”

Just as nearly two million first-year students and some second-year students crowded the venue, Du Gang and Wu Tao also arrived at the scene.

Tao!”         Tao!”        Tao!”

“Du Gang!””Du Gang!” “Du Gang!”

As clear as water and oil, students from different places started cheering wildly.

They each had their support, which was determined by their places of origin.

Feeling this fanatical atmosphere, even the quiet Qiao Jin couldn't help but join in the chanting.

Apart from him, the first-place winners from ten thousand classes had all arrived. Most of them had not fought with Du Gang, so they were curious about Du Gang's strength and that of Wu Tao.

Also, some strong contenders from Qiankun mainland had hurried to the scene.

Chen Feng stood in front of Qiao Jin and pointed to the crowd not far away, laughing, “Do you see them? The people in the front row are among the top hundred students from Qiankun mainland this time, all of them, of course, are first-year students!”

Qiao Jin nodded slightly. He didn't expect these people to come.

He was indeed interested in these top hundred contestants from Qiankun mainland, but unfortunately, they had been secluding themselves and didn't have the opportunity to fight.

He didn't expect that the match between Du Gang and Wu Tao would draw them all out.

On the ring, Du Gang and Wu Tao had already taken their positions.

A teacher of Domain Lord Ninth Rank from the academy was responsible for helping them draft the related agreements and place their bets.

After all, they did claim on the school's intranet that they were staking ten billion. It was not just something casually said.

Shortly after, both of them had signed the papers.

The referee glanced at them and said, “This match is a real match. It ends when one party leaves the ring or loses the ability to fight back!”

He laughed and said, “Fight well and do not fear killing your opponent. As long as he is not blown into pieces, even losing an arm or leg, or even a head, we can bring you back to life!”

These words were not false. Martial artists, through so many cycles of life transitions, were no longer ordinary human beings.

The real survival was the soul, as long as the soul was strong enough, they could live even if the physical body was annihilated.

However, soul status obviously had many flaws and fatal weaknesses, such as being progressively erased by mental power. Under normal circumstances, nobody wanted to live in the state of a soul.

On the ring, Wu Tao, who was almost three meters tall, stood next to Du Gang, looking like a bonafide giant.

He looked down at Du Gang, cracking a slight smile, “Do you think you can beat me?”

As soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of bloody scent drifted out, as if he had just finished eating something raw.

The surrounding onlookers, experiencing this stench, quickly covered their mouths.

“Good lord, did he just eat a human?”

Just as everyone was marveling at how uncivilized Wu Tao looked, suddenly on the ring, Du Gang started to grow.

In an instant, he had grown to a height of six meters.

This time, it was Du Gang's turn to look down at Wu Tao and laugh, “Come on, look into my eyes when you talk!!”

“How is this possible?”

The audience below showed astonishment and stared in shock at the figure on the stage that grew from just over a meter to a giant of five or six meters tall.

“How did he transform?”

“He's even taller than Wu Tao!”

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng's uncle, who had returned to the scene to watch the battle, said, “This is the power of bloodline. Other than the bloodline power, who else could do this?!”

Bai Xiaosheng was surprised and quickly asked, “What bloodline does Du Gang like this belong to?”

His uncle furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Wu Tao's bloodline is a first-class bloodline. Du Gang is taller than him. Maybe, uh, it's also a first-class bloodline!”

Above the first-class bloodline was the Saint-level bloodline. He didn't dare to say it out loud as it would be too outrageous.

To ordinary people like them, those who possessed bloodlines were very formidable. They naturally had an advantage over ordinary people, and the only way to determine the bloodline was by body size or special abilities!

“You're courting death!”

On the ring, Wu Tao, looking at Du Gang who was even taller than him, roared with fury. Regardless of whether the referee had announced the start of the match or not, he rushed toward Du Gang.

Du Gang snorted coldly and directly enlarged the Ancient Divine Spear to the appropriate size, and immediately began to battle.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

For a while on the ring, a giant figure over three meters tall and a figure over six meters tall were entangled in combat.

The piercing noise when their weapons collided made the audience cover their ears.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The two of them fought very quickly. On the entire ring, their bodies were barely visible. The only way to tell who was who was based on the size difference of their shadows.

“They're too strong, both guys are incredibly powerful!”

“Yes, we can't see the specifics of their fight at all!”

On the field, only a few people with sensitive mental power or special vision could clearly see what was happening in the battle.

Among them, Mind Masters like Qiao Jin directly observe with their mental power.

A regular person's mental power wouldn't be able to see the situation on the field without any enhancements. However, Qiao Jin was different; his mental power was at a very high level, which allowed him to clearly see the situation of the battle.

Apart from him, there were also some Mind Masters observing the battle with their mental power.

Additionally, there were some individuals whose eyes emitted a dazzling array of colorful lights. These were people with extremely powerful vision bloodlines, who could observe the fight through their special vision.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Within just a minute, they had fought eighty thousand rounds with no clear victor.

Du Gang hadn't expected to encounter someone his match in speed.

Wu Tao, on the other hand, was even more surprised. He had never before met someone who stood shoulder to shoulder with him in terms of size, speed, and strength.

“Boom!”

After one more explosive clash, the two surprisingly separated from each other. “Swoosh!”

“Swish!”

They stood on the opposite ends of the battlefield, facing off from a distance. The audience below the stage, seeing this, widened their eyes in surprise.

“Did anyone get hurt?”

“Who won? Who had the upper hand just now?”

“What happened, why did they stop?!”

The movements of the two on stage were too fast, making it so that most of the audience could only watch the excitement without having a clear understanding of the fight's specific details.

At this moment, Qiao Jin glanced at Chen Feng, who was incessantly asking questions beside him, and spoke calmly, “The two just fought to a standstill. Their speed is incredible and every one of their attacks could instantly kill a Rank Six Domain defender. Yet, neither of them could defeat the other. I have to admit, both of these guys are extremely strong.”

“How would you fare against them?”

Chen Feng suddenly asked such a question. After all, Du Gang and Wu Tao were both well-known figures. Comparing an ordinary person to them was setting the person up for embarrassment, wasn't it?

Unexpectedly, Qiao Jin just smiled lightly, “They're strong, but so am I.”

And yet, Chen Feng let out a breath of relief, nodded, and didn't pursue it further.

As the second-place finisher in the White Dragon Mountain competition, his understanding of Qiao Jin was quite deep!

He knew that Qiao Jin was very strong and had not even used his real strength during the previous White Dragon Mountain competition.

In the cosmic nation of White Dragon Mountain, the Qiao Family had always been a very mysterious presence.

The strength they displayed alone was on par with the top families in the area.

But the thing was, they never competed or fought for anything, just kept to their own corner.

They were extremely low-key!

Therefore, no matter how much he overestimated Qiao Jin, it was never too much!

Back on the stage.

Wu Tao's expression turned solemn. Looking at Du Gang, he said seriously, “I admit, you are a very powerful opponent. I apologize for my initial rudeness!”

Coming from a family similar to barbarians, Wu Tao was very straightforward. Only those whose talent and strength he recognized deserved to converse with him as equals.

Seeing this, Du Gang chuckled, “In that case, I shall return the courtesy!”

With that said, his body began to shrink. When he was about the same height as Wu Tao, the transformation stopped.

Below the stage, some of the female spectators looked at Du Gang with peculiar gazes, their faces flushing as though they were thinking about something inappropriate.

Wu Tao nodded solemnly and said, “Good, since your strength is so formidable, I will need to use my true power. Be careful!”

“Boom!”

Once he finished speaking, he flexed his muscles and shattered his outer clothing, revealing his muscular body.

What shocked everyone was that on Wu Tao's body, there were a variety of strange totemic symbols.

“Ula!”

Wu Tao suddenly let out a strange cry, and the totems on his body started to glow.

“Damn, Wu Tao is getting serious!”

Below the stage, some of the top-tier families who had some knowledge about

Wu Tao spoke up, “That's the Wu Tao Family's totem. Combined with their

Barbarian's bloodline, it possesses unmatched power!”

“You guys probably don't know this, but Wu Tao once lifted a spaceship weighing ten thousand tons just with his physical strength!”

“What?”

Everyone else was stunned when they heard this. The thought of lifting a ten-thousand-ton spaceship with just physical strength was unimaginable!

On the battle stage.

With the flicker of the totem, Wu Tao's muscles began to bulge again.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

The original three-meter-tall figure, at this moment, once again swelled to over four meters in height before gradually coming to a halt.

On seeing this, Du Gang didn't immediately attack. Instead, he adjusted his own size to match his opponent's height, all while watching with interest.

If his opponent wasn't giving it his all, neither would he. During their previous confrontation, he had merely relied on his speed, without employing any other techniques.

So, he wasn't anxious. He was curious to see the sort of strength possessed by the number one ranked individual in Qiankun Continent!

Soon enough, Wu Tao had expanded into a muscular monster of over four meters.

Unlike Du Gang, who maintained a well-proportioned and aesthetic physique despite his impressive height, Wu Tao after transformation appeared somewhat bloated. Although he was all muscle, it seemed as though he had been filled with nitrogen gas from the inside.

At this moment, Wu Tao's face was enveloped in black totem lines. He glared fiercely at Du Gang, exuding a wild aura.

“Kill!

This time, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, devoid of any rationality. He was like a ruthless, cold-blooded animal.

“Bang!”

Soon, the two met in a head-on collision once again.

This time, Du Gang surprisingly stowed away the Ancient Divine Spear. He had realized that his opponent wanted a match of strength.

“Come on!”

“Clang, clang, clang!”

In this exchange, their figures were fully exposed, They stood in the center of a not so large circle, their lower bodies remaining stationary while their upper bodies continually clashed.

This was the first time that Du Gang had encountered an opponent who took the path of strength, and the excitement was palpable. Hence, he didn't give it his all but matched Wu Tao's strength with every punch.

At this moment, everyone beneath the battle stage was stunned by the raw, skin-to-skin combat unfolding before them.

“My god, how can their strength be so formidable?!

“How many years has it been since I last saw such a battle?!”

“Yes, ever since the concept of 'Domain' came into being, it has been quite a while since we've seen such a match!”

“I don't know why, but I feel that even without their 'Domain,' their physical strength alone is enough to smash me to bits.”

“Heh, don't worry; you're not the only one with that thought!”

No matter how powerful a human being is, their size still inspires some fear when confronted with creatures taller than them.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

“Clang, clang, clang!”

On the stage, the two individuals, currently indulging in an epic power brawl, were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

“Thrilling! ”

Laughing heartily, Wu Tao exclaimed, “It has been a while since I met someone who could match my strength!”

“I genuinely want to battle with you for three hundred thousand more rounds, but unfortunately I can't. Time is running short, and I have to prepare for the knockout phase…”

Looking at Du Gang, he surprisingly felt a sense of mutual admiration and said, “Let's call it a day for now. If we get another chance, we shall have another round of strength-to-strength combat!”

“Huh?”

Hearing Wu Tao's words, the audience beneath the stage was perplexed. “What does he mean? Are they not going to fight anymore?”

At this moment, Du Gang responded, “Fine. Next time we get a chance, let's arrange another match!”

“Bang!”

As his words dropped, the two who had been withholding their 'Domains,' suddenly unleashed them.

And Du Gang, once again pulled out his Ancient Divine Spear, wielding it in a comfortable size, ready to engage Wu Tao in combat.

Wu Tao, on the other hand, drew a massive axe—bigger than his own size— from his Storage Ring, and launched an attack.

And so, the two began to fight again. Just when everyone thought they were heading for another indeterminable duel, suddenly Wu Tao's axe turned red.

Simultaneously, an enormous, majestic shadow of an axe emerged, gradually becoming clearer as it expanded to hundreds of meters in size.

“What?! Wu Tao actually used that move!! ”

Those students who were paying attention to Wu Tao had already recognized him.

Suddenly, they drew the puzzled gazes of the audience.

Seeing that many people were curious about what was happening, an enthusiastic student spoke up:

“The Wu Tao clan possesses a set of Mountain-Opening Axe techniques, which are tremendously powerful…”

“This Wu Tao really is a genius. He has even mastered the Mountain-Opening

Axe technique. You must know, this is a very difficult to learn, genuine Ninth

Rank Peak attack secret technique!”

“Unlike the normally practiced mysterious laws of magic, this secret attack technique is specifically created for offense, and it's horrifyingly powerful!”

While everyone was talking, the axe shadow on the ring had already gathered and formed into a giant axe.

“First Strike of Mountain Opening!!”

With Wu Tao's roar, the giant axe that was originally hovering in mid-air suddenly crashed down.

That wasn't all; this axe shadow wasn't just powerful, but also contained the endless law power of the Gold Element.

Below the ring, the spectators at the very front couldn't help but take a step back.

They were terrified by this powerful gold armor law and, even though they knew that the axe wasn't being swung at them, they could not help but want to escape.

“Incredible, with this one strike, even if there is an Eighth Level Domain here, it would have to kneel, right?!”

Everyone at the scene was conquered by this attack.

With just this one attack, Wu Tao's first-place position was well-deserved!

“Counteracting Divine Spear!”

At this moment, a faint voice was heard from the ring.

The next second, an even stronger force emanating from the golden spear arrived.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

An axe of several hundred meters clashed with a long spear of only five or six meters.

'%zz! zzz! zzz!”

As a strong light emanated, everyone at the scene subconsciously lowered their heads and shielded their eyes.

Thankfully, even the weakest person at the scene was at Stellar Level, otherwise, the residual light from the explosion could have vaporized a Planet Level expert.

The Stellar Level students at the scene were now very uncomfortable and all backed up.
