Chapter 346

Back in the spaceship, Gu Ding could not wait to take out the two stone sculptures and observe them carefully.

The two stone sculptures were of the same woman. She was dressed in a flowing white dress and had a dignified posture. Her face was even more beautiful.

"Could this be the girl that my dad liked?" Gu Ding observed carefully, but he soon discovered that although the two stone sculptures were exactly the same, they gave off a different feeling.

The stone sculpture left by his dad earlier gave off the feeling that the woman was lively and cute, but the stone sculpture at the back gave off the feeling that the woman was dignified and generous. This was very strange. They were obviously the same sculptures, but why did they give off two different feelings?

After looking around for a long time, Gu Ding could not find anything.

"Gu Ding, try dripping your blood!" Neptune suddenly said, "If it really is something that your dad left behind, the easiest way to activate it is for you to drip your blood on it. This will also prevent outsiders from coveting these two stone sculptures."

Gu Ding nodded, bit his finger, and dripped his blood on the two stone sculptures.

After waiting for more than three minutes, there was still no reaction from the two stone sculptures. "It seems that dripping blood is useless. In fact, I should have known that with my dad's character, he would definitely not use a cliché method like dripping blood to easily solve the puzzle."

Gu Ding held the two stone sculptures in each hand. As he rotated them, he observed and compared them, muttering in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the original stone sculpture should be the key to this decryption …"

As Gu Ding rotated them, the two stone sculptures finally reached the angle of facing each other. When the two stone sculptures' eyes met, Gu Ding's spirit was shaken and he was in a trance. When he came back to his senses, he found himself in a starry sky, but strangely, he did not feel any discomfort.

Not far in front of Gu Ding, the two black shadows began to quickly condense into human form. Although he did not understand what was going on, it was very likely that this was something that his dad left for him. He immediately calmed down and wanted to see what the two black shadows were going to do.

Suddenly, the black shadow on the left moved. He lowered his waist into a horse stance, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and launched an extremely simple punch that seemed slow but was actually fast.

Before the punch was fully unleashed, the stars in the sky began to tremble. Gu Ding could even clearly see that many of the nearby planets were beginning to crack from the tremors.

When the power of the punch was exerted to the extreme, the moment the fist force gushed out, Gu Ding's mind was shaken to the distance. He saw countless stars exploding, disintegrating, and shattering.

"What kind of powerhouse would be able to do that?" Gu Ding was shocked.

But soon, an even more inconceivable scene occurred.

The black shadow on the right finally raised his hand. In an instant, the entire world seemed to slow down. The speed at which the stars were exploding slowed down by more than ten times. Even the force of the punch that was shot out was slowed down by about half.

At this moment, he finally extended two fingers, and a faint light that was tens of thousands of times thinner than a hair flashed in a billionth of a microsecond. Logically speaking, Gu Ding's eyesight should not have been able to capture this level of light. However, at that moment, Gu Ding could see it clearly.

The beam of faint light arrived first despite being launched later. In the end, it collided with the destructive fist energy.

Gu Ding heard an earth-shattering roar suddenly explode. He was in the vacuum of the universe, but the sound rang out at the soul level. There was no need for any medium to transmit it at all. Like a torrent, it crushed in all directions. At that moment, the flow of time in the entire world finally returned to normal.

The many pieces of the stars that had been destroyed were completely annihilated into nothingness after the sound reverberated.

Gu Ding's mind continued to follow the vibrating energy far away. The torrent produced by the explosion was simply a catastrophe that annihilated everything. Wherever it passed, be it stars, black holes, white dwarfs, neutron stars, or quasars, no matter what kind of existence it passed through, it could not escape this disaster and was all annihilated.

Gu Ding was completely stunned. When he came to his senses, he found that he had left the starry sky, and the two black shadows had disappeared.

The two stone statues in Gu Ding's hands had completely turned into powder.

"Gu Ding, what happened?" Neptune asked. "Why did these two stone statues suddenly break?"

"The statue shattered because I had already received the message from my old man. Neptune, did my body fall into an abnormal state just now? "Gu Ding felt that Neptune did not seem to notice what had just happened.

"No, I only saw you holding these two stone statues and playing with them. Then, suddenly, the stone statues broke. Why do you ask? " Neptune knew Gu Ding's physical condition best. He was automatically monitoring Gu Ding's physical condition every minute and second. If anything happened, even if Gu Ding was distracted for a moment, he would notice it. However, just now, he really did not notice anything.

Gu Ding hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not tell Neptune about how he had been pulled into the starry sky just now because he felt that since his father had deliberately set it up to block Neptune's detection, there must be a reason.

"Nothing, I just felt like I fell into a strange state just now." Gu Ding shook his head.

"What did your father say to you?" Neptune had no idea what had happened to Gu Ding just now, so he was a little curious.

"He didn't say anything. He just taught me two martial arts moves." Gu Ding was actually not sure if the two figures were his father because he could not see their faces at all. Moreover, in Gu Ding's memory, his father was drunk and listless every day. His back had never been as straight as the two black figures.

As Gu Ding spoke, he imitated the moves according to his memory. However, when he used them, they were no different from ordinary moves, and their power did not increase at all.

However, Gu Ding knew that the two moves were definitely not simple blows of violence. They were extremely advanced moves and techniques. Gu Ding did not use them because he had only imitated a simple move and did not understand the essence of the move.

For the next six days, Gu Ding did not go to the auction house again. He had been trying out his moves in the spaceship's arena. The reason why he chose this place was because the ground here was made of special stone. With Gu Ding's strength, there was no way he could leave any marks in this arena.

He threw punch after punch, finger after finger, and tried again and again. However, not a single time was right. Not even the slightest vibration effect or time stagnation effect was produced.

Six days passed, and Gu Ding had gained nothing.

"I think you're too concerned about these two moves now. Tomorrow is the last day of the auction. Go out and relax. Maybe you'll get something good, or find some local snacks, or go to a tavern for some drinks, "Neptune suggested.

Gu Ding thought about it. He had gained nothing for the past few days, and he seemed to have reached a dead end. Going out and relaxing might be more helpful.

During these six days, under Neptune's probing, Lilliath and the others had found two good things at a relatively low price.

On the last day of the auction, Gu Ding finally appeared at the auction house with Lilliath and the others.

Gu Ding had not appeared for the past few days, and it had caused many people to speculate. The topic of speculation was nothing more than what Gu Ding had gotten from the stone statue.

Even Granny Jian could not help but secretly probe Gu Ding's body, but she did not find anything unusual. In her opinion, Gu Ding might not have solved the secret of the stone statue.

In the few days that Gu Ding was away, the auction's collection was much richer than in previous years, but it did not bring too many surprises. The most expensive item was sold for less than thirty billion Universe Crystals, and it was a pet beast cub that could grow up to Upper Rank Deity level.

On the last day of the auction, there were a lot more powerhouses in the auction. Gu Ding could vaguely feel the aura of the powerhouses in the VIP area, which was as heavy as a mountain. There were even some powerhouses whose auras were as deep as the sea.

"Huh?" Gu Ding suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Neptune asked quickly.

"I can actually sense the strength of those people in the VIP area." Gu Ding felt a little strange. In the past, Gu Ding could not sense how strong the powerhouses who were stronger than Middle Rank Deity were, but now he could clearly sense their strength.

"It can't be. Could it be your imagination?" Neptune thought it was impossible.

"In the VIP area, the strongest person is in Room 7. There are two people in there. One of them has an aura that feels like the boundless sea, and it's terrifyingly strong. The other person's aura is much weaker. His aura is like a floating cloud, leisurely and tranquil. His cultivation level should be around Upper Rank Deity.

"Next is Room 1, which only has one person. That person's aura is very violent, like a volcano, and it reeks of blood. He must have killed a lot of people.

"There are two other people whose auras are similar to these two. They are in Room Four and Room Twelve respectively. In other words, there should be four Extreme Rank Deities here this time. "

Gu Ding's judgment left Neptune speechless because Gu Ding was absolutely right. The strongest person in Room 7 was Granny Jian, and the other three rooms did have Extreme Rank Deity powerhouses.

"How did you do it?" Neptune found it a little unbelievable.

"I don't know. Six days ago, I couldn't even tell if there was anyone in the VIP area. I guess it's because I've cultivated those two moves. "Gu Ding did not know why his judgment of auras had suddenly become so strong.

He observed the members of his crew again and found that the strongest aura was not Biggie, but Ayesha, followed by himself, and then Biggie. Of course, the strength of one's aura did not completely represent the strength of one's strength. This was because things like combat skills could not be reflected through aura. Gu Ding also knew that in terms of understanding martial arts, Biggie was miles ahead of the other members of his crew, including himself.

After some observation, Gu Ding found that there were sixteen Upper Rank Deity powerhouses sitting in the auction hall, and more than eighty Middle Rank Deities. He could not help but sigh at the number of powerhouses who came this time.

The people in the hall quickly returned to their seats. After Gu Ding looked around, he withdrew his gaze and sat down quietly, waiting for the auction to begin on the last day.
