Chapter 318

All kinds of powerhouses had gathered on Giant Mansion.

Gu Ding and his crew's bounty was not high. Even the entire crew's bounty was not as high as that of some Interstellar Pirates. However, Gu Ding's crew had been in the limelight in Faye Cosmic Nation recently, causing many small traders to recognize them at a glance.

Although some of the powerhouses in the Grand Realm River had heard of Gu Ding's name and his rise to fame, they did not pay much attention to him. This was because they knew that the strongest guardian in Faye Cosmic Nation was only a Lower Rank deity. Even a 5-star Lower Rank deity was not considered a big deal in the Grand Realm River. The guardian of the Grand Realm River was an admiral from the Federal Government Headquarters, a 5-star Upper Rank deity powerhouse.

There were three thousand 5-star Cosmic Nations under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government that led directly to the Cosmic Sea. Therefore, there were three thousand Grand Realm Rivers between the 5-star Cosmic Nations and the Cosmic Sea. Each of these three thousand Grand Realm Rivers was guarded by an admiral from the Federal Government Headquarters. This was to prevent foreign tribes from entering the Cosmic Nations through the Grand Realm River and destroying humanity's foundation.

Therefore, the Federal Government's heritage was very terrifying. If the guardian admiral really made a move, it was likely that no Interstellar Pirate in the Grand Realm River would be able to enter the Cosmic Sea.

Gu Ding and the others were basically in a state of relaxation for the past few days. Before this, they had spent every day cultivating and fighting. Everyone's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, so it was better to relax and adjust their mentality.

Although Gu Ding's crew thought so, other crews did not. Many people were secretly watching Gu Ding and his crew. After all, Gu Ding and the others did not have high cultivation. The highest was only Robert. Although outsiders could not determine Robert's specific level, it was not difficult to determine that he was a Lower Rank deity. The others were not even demigods. This was obvious at a glance. This was because demigods had God Source aura leaking out of them. Gu Ding cultivated God Source without leaking it because he was still a flesh and blood life form. If he was an energy life form, the God Source aura would uncontrollably leak out from the energy part.

Another reason was that they were too famous. The roadside peddlers all knew them. This made many famous Interstellar Pirates unhappy. They could not help but feel a little jealous. What annoyed them the most was that their bounty was obviously higher than Gu Ding's, but why did these people know Gu Ding but not them? Many of them even knew other pirate crew members besides Gu Ding.

These wily old foxes also knew that the current situation on the Giant Mansion Star was not suitable for them to make a move. The reason why the Federation Government had issued a notice forbidding them from fighting was because there were too many powerhouses, and it was easy to cause a chain reaction. They couldn't fight, but they didn't say they couldn't spar. Therefore, with this loophole in their grasp, they felt that it would not be difficult to take down Gu Ding's crew.

Gu Ding stopped in front of a stall and his gaze fell on a metal ball. The reason why he noticed this was because this metal ball was somewhat similar to Robert's previous state. He immediately reached over to pick it up and carefully observed it.

Neptune's voice came quickly. "This is just an ordinary metal ball bearing, used on spaceships. If it was an item from the Mechanical Race, Robert would have sensed it long ago. I also scanned the stalls. None of them had anything good. After all, you've already been searching for two days, and you've already found five or six treasures that were misjudged. It'll be a little difficult for you to continue picking up today. "

Gu Ding was listening to Neptune, so he held the metal ball in his hand for a longer time.

Just then, a young man with a pointy mouth came over, pointed at the metal ball in Gu Ding's hand and asked, "Boss, how much is this? I'll take it."

Gu Ding looked up at him, then put down the metal ball and left the stall.

Seeing Gu Ding leave, the young man's face flashed with annoyance. "Boss, I don't want it." He continued to follow Gu Ding.

"Gu Ding, that person didn't buy anything just now. He followed us directly. He's probably looking for trouble." Neptune reacted immediately.

"I know." Gu Ding did not need Neptune's reminder to already know. He had seen the playful expression in the man's eyes. Obviously, he was deliberately trying to buy what Gu Ding wanted and cause trouble for him. Now that he knew the man's purpose, Gu Ding grinned slightly and walked toward the luxury decoration store.

Once he entered the store, he found the most expensive emerald on the counter. It was worth two million units of Universe Crystal, which was comparable to Gu Ding's bounty. Seeing that the man had followed him into the store, Gu Ding said to the salesperson, "Can I have a look at that emerald?"

"Yes, sir." The salesperson took out the sealed emerald and handed it to Gu Ding.

This kind of luxury item was sealed by a powerhouse using a special method. Even a higher deity would not be able to open it.

Gu Ding pretended to look at the emerald in his hand while waiting for the kid to come over. Sure enough, as Gu Ding expected, the kid came over. "This emerald is not bad."

"Wrap it up for me," Gu Ding handed the emerald in his hand back and said directly to the salesperson.

"Wait!" The young man saw that Gu Ding was about to buy it and quickly stopped him.

"What? You like this too? "The expression on Gu Ding's face was slightly sullen.

"I'm sorry, I really like this emerald. My friend, please bear with the pain and give it up for once." The young man with the pointy mouth spoke politely, but his eyes were still provocative.

"In that case, I'll give it to you. I'll look at the others." Gu Ding waved his hand generously, but he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stood aside and looked at the young man with the pointy mouth.

"Why are you looking at me?" The young man with the pointy mouth felt a little guilty under Gu Ding's stare.

"If you're not going to pay, I'll pay first," Gu Ding said and waved at the salesperson. "Wrap it up."

"Wait, who said I'm not going to pay? You already said you'll give it to me. How can you go back on your word? " The young man with the pointy mouth quickly reached out to stop Gu Ding. He turned to the salesperson and asked, "How much is this gem?"

"Two million Universe Crystals," the salesperson naturally stated the price truthfully.

"What?! Two million?! " He had thought that the price of this kind of thing would be in the tens of thousands of Universe Crystals at most. He did not expect it to be so expensive.

"If you can't afford it, don't get involved," Gu Ding sneered. "Salesperson, ignore him. Wrap it up for me!"

The young man with the pointy mouth thought about it again. Gu Ding would certainly not spend two million Universe Crystals on a useless luxury. There must be something special about this green jade. That was why Gu Ding was willing to spend so much money. If that was the case, he could buy it first and study it slowly. "Who said I can't afford it? Salesperson, wrap it up for me!"

When he saw Gu Ding's angry look, he felt that his decision was right.

The salesperson quickly wrapped the gem. The young man with the pointy mouth proudly paid for it. He held the wrapped gem and shook it twice in front of Gu Ding.

"Congratulations!" Gu Ding finally broke into a wide grin.

Seeing Gu Ding's strange smile, the young man with the pointy mouth had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He looked at the unsealed gem and almost vomited blood when he found it. He pointed at Gu Ding and said, "How dare you trick me. This gem is just a pure ornament!"

"You asked for it. No one forced you to buy an ornament. I didn't do anything." Gu Ding spread his hands.

"Do you think I won't dare to touch you just because the Federal Government has issued a ban?" The young man with the pointy mouth finally showed his ferocious face.

"I can give it a try." Gu Ding was not afraid at all. His opponent was only a 5-star Lower Rank Deity. His combat effectiveness was comparable to a 7-star, but he was still a lot weaker than him.

"I'll teach you a lesson today. I'll let you know how high the sky is." The man with the pointy mouth reached out to grab Gu Ding. In his opinion, Gu Ding was only a Rank-13 Gene Body. His previous combat effectiveness was comparable to a 5-star Lower Rank Deity. He must have used some special enhancement technique. As long as he was fast enough, so fast that his opponent could not react, catching Gu Ding should be a piece of cake.

However, Gu Ding did not even try to dodge. Many people who were secretly watching the battle thought that Gu Ding was scared out of his wits. Unexpectedly, Gu Ding raised his hand and a green flame instantly spewed out. In just a moment, it completely enveloped the man with the pointy mouth. The man with the pointy mouth's grab broke on its own. His body was covered in flames, and he let out a miserable howl.

The strength of Gu Ding's Devouring Flame and Destructive Flame had nothing to do with Gu Ding's own cultivation level. It was only related to the depth of Gu Ding's God Source. The stronger Gu Ding's God Source was, the stronger the power of the flame and the wider the area it covered. The strength of God Source could be quantified according to the Source Points. Gu Ding had 177,147 source points in his body. For a genius powerhouse like Kane, the source points in his body could only reach 129,600 points after advancing to a 1-star Medium Deity, which was nearly one-third less than Gu Ding's. Therefore, Gu Ding's flame was enough to cause harm to most 1-star Middle Rank Deities, let alone this 5-star Lower Rank Deity.

Seeing the young man with the pointy mouth rolling on the ground and howling in pain, those who were secretly watching Gu Ding knew that Gu Ding was not someone to be trifled with. This was because Gu Ding had only raised his hand and shot out a flame from the beginning. The green flame was the Destructive Flame. It would bring extreme pain to those who were hit. That was why the young man with the pointy mouth was screaming so miserably. Moreover, in less than half a minute, his God Body already had a lot of cracks, and he could explode and die at any time.

Just then, a young man suddenly flashed next to the young man with the pointy mouth. "Gu Ding, for the sake of the Freedom Alliance, don't kill him. Just teach him a lesson."

Seeing that the Freedom Alliance had stepped in, Gu Ding did not want to fight anymore. He hooked his finger and the flame automatically returned to his body. As for the young man with the pointy mouth, his God Body was already on the verge of collapse. However, he did not care too much. He glared at Gu Ding and quickly ran away.
