Chapter 9

"Are you alright?" For the first time, Neptune sounded concerned.

"I'm fine. Did I faint or fall asleep?" Gu Ding's expression was slightly gloomy.

"Neither. You entered a strange state just now. The speed at which you absorbed the medicine increased by more than ten times. You've completely absorbed the medicine in the bottle, and your Cell Index has increased to 18 points. That's 1 point more than the 17 points that you absorbed. "

"Oh." Gu Ding's reaction was very calm.

It was the first time Neptune had encountered such a situation. He did not know what to say. "18 points of Cell Index is enough to cultivate the complete version of Ultimate Arts."

"Mm." Gu Ding's reaction was still very simple. He immediately flipped through the Ultimate Arts in his head.

The complete version of Ultimate Arts had a total of twelve levels. It was mainly divided into three sections, namely Attack, Defense, and Body Arts. The Attack techniques mainly included Steel Fist, Phantom Kick, Lightning Elbow, and Flaming Knee. The Defense technique was called Righteous Body. There was also a Body Arts technique called Silent Step.

In this body technique, there were six moves in each level, and each move was more difficult than the last. The Body Arts technique Silent Step also had six steps in each level. Every six steps formed a small cycle. The least was the Defense technique, Righteous Body, which only had one technique.

Gu Ding memorized the moves by heart and began to practice them. He quickly finished practicing the first level. His excellent martial arts comprehension allowed him to completely familiarize himself with each technique after practicing it two or three times. After practicing the Ultimate Arts several times in the afternoon, Gu Ding's muscles began to show signs of soreness.

"These techniques put too much pressure on your body. You must stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, it will cause irreparable damage to your cells," Neptune reminded him from the side. "Let's call it a day. Tomorrow, you can refine some Cell Activity Repair Agent. You can only take this medicine once a week or there will be side effects."

"Is there any way to practice techniques without putting too much pressure on your body?" Gu Ding suddenly asked. It was obvious that he did not plan to rest so early.

"Isn't there a Virtual Arena? Haven't you been there before? "Neptune asked.

"No. It costs 1000 Star Credits to register an account. I didn't have that much money before." Gu Ding shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I've always heard about this Virtual Arena, and I've watched videos of the competition, but I've never been to the arena."

"Let's register for one. I've taken a look. It's a good choice to hone your combat skills. You just need to consume some mental power, "Neptune encouraged from the side.

"Alright." Gu Ding nodded. He was not short of money now.

Neptune quickly logged into the Arena's interface. After Gu Ding transferred the money, he received an invitation number in his mailbox. He entered the invitation number and entered the character creation page. Although it was called character creation, it was actually just a name used in the Arena. The actual appearance of the generated character was actually the same as the original person's appearance, but it could be adjusted by 20%. Gu Ding did not make any minor adjustments. As for the registered name, he typed in "This Assassin is Not Afraid of the Cold".

[Creating the character "This assassin is not afraid of the cold". Confirm?]

"Confirm!"

[Character creation complete. Do you want to enter the arena?]

"Yes!" Gu Ding thought to himself. "If I don't go in, what am I going to do with 1,000 Star Credits?"

[Detecting spiritual power strength. Spiritual connection completed. Beginning teleportation.]

Gu Ding's vision went black. When he came back to his senses, he was already outside the bustling Arena. Listening to the enthusiastic cheers in the arena, Gu Ding walked toward the reception desk.

"Hello, sir. Would you like to watch the competition, participate in the competition, or join the bet?" The young female attendant at the reception desk smiled sweetly.

"Let's watch the competition first." Gu Ding hesitated for a moment. He wanted to see the level of the contestants first.

"Alright, please wait a moment." The attendant quickly handed Gu Ding a card. "There are still empty seats in Viewing Hall 1324. The two people in the ring are 'Please Call Me Your Majesty' and 'Look, Gray Machine'."

'Looks like my name is quite low-key …' Gu Ding thought to himself.

"Please swipe your card at Door 13, and you will be directly transported in. After entering the arena, if you need anything, you can directly click on the three services on the touch screen card. "

Gu Ding walked toward door number thirteen, swiped his card, and was transported to a spectator hall. In the ring, two people were fighting.

The 'Please Call Me Your Majesty' was really a woman. She wore a tight black leather suit and looked very hot. In her hand was a black leather whip that she constantly whipped her opponent.

"Look, Gray Machine" was a young man, and he looked very disheveled at the moment.

"She can even use weapons?" Gu Ding's interest was slightly piqued. The woman in the ring was waving her whip like a tidal wave. It was obvious that she had reached a certain level. The young man did not have a chance to get close to her, so Gu Ding could not see his actual level. However, although he looked disheveled, he had not been whipped from beginning to end. His footwork was also quite exquisite.

"Who do you think will win?" Neptune suddenly asked.

"This woman is going to lose. She has been attacking fiercely all the way and will soon be exhausted. If her whip slows down or stops for even a moment, the man will get close to her and attack her." As soon as Gu Ding finished speaking, the woman's whip slowed down. The man took the opportunity to force his way into the whip's shadow. After taking two hits, he closed in and smashed the woman's head with a punch. The woman's body turned into pieces and dissipated.

Below the ring, the woman's figure gradually solidified. She looked slightly dispirited, but she did not seem to have suffered any actual injuries.

"It seems that I can fight at will in the ring." Gu Ding seemed a little eager. He was a little worried that his sudden increase in strength would cause others to get hurt, but it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.

In the following time, Gu Ding watched twenty matches in a row. The strongest group was between two people ranked 1118043 and 1112117. In his opinion, these two people had a lot of flaws. He had watched the match videos before and estimated that his strength should be outside the top one million. However, after practicing Ultimate Arts these days, his strength had obviously increased, and his vision had also broadened.

After a match, the commentator's voice came from all around. "Our contestant, 'Her Mother Doesn't Like Me', who is ranked 118043, is still standing in the ring. It seems that he's ready to try consecutive challenges. Is there any contestant who wants to come up and give it a try? "

Looking at the bald man in the ring who was nearly two and a half meters tall and had a long scar on his face, Gu Ding curled his lips. "You look so scary. It would be a wonder if her mother likes you."

"Aren't you going to try?" Neptune suddenly asked. "I think this opponent is not bad."

"I was going to wait for him to come down before I go up in the ring. Since he refuses to come down, I'll take the initiative to challenge him," Gu Ding said as he pressed the challenge button on the touchscreen card.

Gu Ding's figure quickly solidified in the ring, and his challenge data was clearly displayed.
