Chapter 238

At night, the clear starry sky shone brightly, and Ross Childe's coming-of-age ceremony began as scheduled.

The Childe family had booked the largest square on the planet, Squire Square, and the lights around the square illuminated the entire area as if it were daytime.

Although entry to the banquet was by invitation, Gu Ding's crew did not receive an invitation, and they were not stopped when they entered. The guards glared at each other, but still stepped aside.

Looking at the huge square and all kinds of exquisite decorations, Liliath could not help but praise, "It's really quite grand. However, the more powerful a family is, the less likely it is to have such a luxurious coming-of-age ceremony."

Indeed, compared to the Harris family, the Childe family was at most a nouveau riche in the countryside with little background.

"Gu Ding, when do we make our move?" Ayesha looked a little eager. She had not had a chance to show off her skills since she learned stacking from Neptune.

"At the climax of the banquet, of course." Gu Ding did not see Ross Childe, the protagonist of the banquet, but there were a lot of guys with powerful auras.

"There are sixteen demigods, twenty-eight Rank-13 Gene Bodies, and over a hundred Rank-12 and above." Neptune quickly gave the statistics. "However, with that Deity Position in hand, other than the Childe family's demigod, no one else will make a move on us. However, we can't underestimate our opponents because of that. No one knows what tricks Ross Childe has up his sleeve. He can be considered an expert in strategy, and he might have other pawns. "

"Unless he can invite a deity, he's doomed to lose." Gu Ding admitted that Ross was a smart man, but the absolute crushing of strength could not be solved by brains alone.

About half an hour later, almost everyone had arrived, and James, the patriarch, stepped onto the makeshift stage in the center of the square.

"I'm very happy that everyone is willing to come to my son's coming-of-age ceremony today. I'd like to propose a toast to everyone …"

After some pleasantries, James began to tell some interesting stories about Ross's childhood on the stage. Ross stood below the stage, smiling faintly and saying nothing.

What James talked about was basically not what kind of achievements the genius that everyone was familiar with achieved on a certain day, but some small details of life, some embarrassing things that ordinary children would do. Many people could not help but laugh. He also looked at Ross from time to time, as if hoping that Ross would change his mind and no longer stubbornly pursue his ambition. However, Ross did not react at all. It was as if the person in the story was not him at all.

After more than half an hour, James invited Ross onto the stage. He sighed helplessly and walked off the stage. He also knew that everything was irreversible.

Ross strode onto the stage. His black suit was still as clean as new, without the slightest crease. A coffee-colored striped tie paired with a white shirt made him look very spirited.

After he got on the stage, he went straight to the point. "In ancient times, the most primitive coming of age ceremony of humans was not a feast, but a hunt. Only a young man who hunted a strong enough prey would be recognized by the other members and become a true adult. So today, I'm going to use this ritual to announce to the world that I'm an adult. And my hunting target has come to the scene today. He is — the four-star monster, Gu Ding! "

Everyone who heard this was stunned. Most people did not expect things to develop in this direction. This was because Gu Ding had just proved two days ago that he had the strength to defeat a Peak Rank-13 Gene Body martial arts practitioner. Ross Childe, who had never shown his strength, had challenged Gu Ding.

This scene was immediately recorded by someone in the form of a video.

Gu Ding slowly walked onto the stage and looked Ross in the eye. He did not seem surprised that Ross would challenge him. "I'll give you one last chance. Apologize! Otherwise, I don't mind killing you. "

"Didn't I give you my answer at noon?" The corner of Ross's mouth was still slightly raised. "Since you didn't understand, I'll repeat it again — I won't apologize."

"If that's the case, then go to hell and reflect on your mistakes!" As Gu Ding spoke, he summoned his Bronze Grade Combat Armor and activated Ultimate Arts Level 12, Rage Attack, Advanced Iron Block, and martial arts field at the same time. His combat effectiveness was instantly pushed to its peak.

Gu Ding appeared in front of Ross in a flash. He clenched the fingers of his right hand into a fist and unleashed a fierce Steel Fist with golden Righteous Force. It was like a comet streaking across the night sky as it smashed toward Ross's face.

"Gu Ding, I'm actually the same as you. We're both Rank-7 Gene Bodies. Do you know why I'm challenging you? " Ross did not show any signs of nervousness. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth and continued, "Because I'm a monster like you, but I'm a five-star monster who's stronger than you! Can't you fight a Rank-13 Gene Body? However, a Rank-13 Gene Body is destined to be crushed in front of me! I'll challenge you as my first battle. As long as I suppress you, countless people will know my name … "

As Ross spoke, he stretched out his left hand. His left hand instantly turned into a giant blood-red palm, directly intercepting Gu Ding's fatal punch. Then, his other hand turned blood-red as well, and he pressed his palm against Gu Ding's chest. Gu Ding felt as if he had been hit by a huge force, and his entire body was instantly sent flying.

Following that, Ross's entire body began to change drastically. From a handsome young man, he transformed into a huge red giant. The giant's height was even higher than Biggie and Robert's, and his forearms alone were much thicker than Biggie's thighs. Ross's clothes had long been torn apart, revealing his naked body. Everyone could see that his entire body was red, and it gave the impression that his skin had been peeled off, revealing blood-red muscle fibers. His eyes were pitch-black, and the sclera and irises could not be seen. Some people even noticed that Ross, who had transformed into this state, no longer had any gender distinctions. All the organs that could be used to determine one's gender had completely disappeared from his body.

"Gu Ding, did you see that? This is my true combat effectiveness … "Ross's voice sounded like three or four vocal cords were moving at the same time, and it gave off a strange and peculiar feeling.

Lilliath looked in the direction where Gu Ding's body had fallen, slightly worried. With her current eyesight, she was able to capture the two's fighting movements, but she was a little unsure of how badly Gu Ding had been injured.

However, Biggie's expression did not change much, which made Lilliath feel a little relieved. Tagore stared at Ross with a strange look in his eyes. Robert also saw the situation between the two, but he did not move.

"This guy's strength increased a lot after transforming!" Ayesha was more interested in Ross's transformation. "But why do I feel that there's something evil about this power?"

"You're right, it's a brute beast from the Purgatory Dimension." Tagore jumped onto Ayesha's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "This guy must have extracted the brute beast's genes and modified his own genes. In a place like the Base Dimension, only people who have dealt with creatures from the Purgatory Dimension can recognize it. "

"Is a brute beast very powerful?" Ayesha could not help but ask.

"A real brute beast is just cannon fodder in Purgatory. However, it's almost impossible to find a powerhouse that can match it in the Base Dimension. That's because brute beasts are born with demigod combat effectiveness, and when they reach adulthood, they directly have the combat effectiveness of a Lower Rank deity, "Tagore explained.

"I've heard my dad mention the Purgatory Dimension. He said it's a more terrifying place than the Abyss Dimension, and it's extremely dangerous. He once went to the third level and was attacked by a very powerful bug. It took him a lot of effort to escape. " Ayesha yearned for that kind of place. It was hard for her to imagine that her dad would be defeated.

"Your dad is already very powerful. A Lower Rank deity basically has no chance of surviving if they encounter that guy." After Tagore said this, he remained silent and turned to look at the battlefield.

Gu Ding climbed out of the ruins. He had added a repulsive effect to his body in time for the blow just now. It directly increased his defense by ten times.

Originally, his defense had already reached 128 billion points with the twenty times buff from Advanced Iron Block. With another ten times buff, his defense went straight to over a trillion points, and he easily blocked Ross's attack.

Ross was only a Peak Rank-7 Gene Body. It was reasonable to say that the basic attack power of a Peak Rank-7 Gene Body was ten thousand points. However, Ross was a five-star monster. His basic combat effectiveness was ten thousand times more than an ordinary person, reaching a strength of a hundred million points. Coupled with the eight thousand times increase in combat effectiveness after the transformation, his combat effectiveness was a total of eight hundred billion points. This combat effectiveness was already very terrifying because a martial arts practitioner who had just become a demigod would generally only have a combat effectiveness of one hundred billion points.

Gu Ding heard Neptune's voice in his ear.

"Gu Ding, this guy implanted the brute beast gene into his body and obtained the ability to transform into a brute beast. After the transformation, not only does the brute beast's attack power increase greatly, but its defense power also increases. Even if you applied a repulsive effect to yourself, with your current attack power, it's almost impossible to defeat him by force. The only way to do so is to attack his weakness. "

"The brute beast's weakness is usually at the back of its neck, but I just scanned his body and found that the weak spot has been moved up to the back of his head. Since it's covered by his hair, it's harder to find this weak spot. The brute beast's weakness is very obvious. The defense at the back of its neck is less than one percent of its skin. Even if this guy improves this situation, he can't improve it too much because the gene model he uses is the brute beast. He can at most make some minor adjustments, but it's impossible to completely eliminate this flaw. "

"Thanks, Neptune. I'll get rid of him quickly. "Gu Ding slowly walked out of the ruins.
