Gu Ding returned to the small cell that was less than fifteen square meters in size. He lay on the single bed that was only 1.5 meters wide and stared at the white ceiling for the whole night.

It was not that there was anything special on the ceiling, but Gu Ding had been thinking about how he could raise his strength to the level of a True God within three years.

The eighth floor of the Hell Gate was the territory of a first-rank True God powerhouse. Moreover, based on the current situation in the Hell Gate, the powerhouses on the eighth floor should at least have the ability of a third-rank True God or above. It would not be surprising if there were even people with fourth-rank combat strength. It would not be an easy task to snatch the item left behind by that expert from the hands of that group of people.

Even though Gu Ding was skeptical about the idea that he could leave Purgatory's Gate once he obtained that thing, whether or not he could really break out of Purgatory was something that he should only consider after he obtained that thing. In any case, to sum it up, his strength was still too weak.

Even if he did not sleep for the whole night, just lying down was a way for Gu Ding to build up his energy.

The next morning, Gu Ding arrived at the arena early in the morning.

However, he did not expect the people who wanted to watch his match to be so enthusiastic that they crowded the arena early in the morning. Fortunately, everyone automatically made a path for him when they saw him, so he did not have to waste energy to squeeze in.

It did not take long for the match to begin after he entered the arena.

The match lasted for two days. Gu Ding's winning streak was like an unstoppable wheel that crushed all opponents in front of him.

In these two days, almost all the Top Ten Prison Lords fought. Other than three people who forfeited and one person who admitted defeat, the rest were no match for Gu Ding. It seemed that no one could stop his victory.

This also led to more and more people forfeiting. After two days, the number of people who forfeited had reached more than a hundred thousand. Gu Ding's winning streak had also reached an unprecedented 999 times.

He was only one more time away from achieving a thousand consecutive wins.

In Hell Gate, some of the guardians who were watching the video frowned slightly.

"Sir Warden, are you really going to let Gu Ding continue winning? A thousand consecutive wins would give him more than two hundred thousand points. Although many people have forfeited, there are still nearly thirty thousand people who have not. If Gu Ding keeps winning, his points will be high enough to disrupt the price balance of the entire Hell Gate, "a Golden Armored Guardian could not help but say.

"What's the rush? We set the rules. There hasn't been a 1,000-game winning streak in the past. Now that there's a 1,000-game winning streak, isn't it a good time to set a new rule? "The Warden rested his chin on one hand and continued to watch the video. He didn't look anxious at all.

The golden-armored guardian finally calmed down after hearing the warden's words.

Gu Ding was looking forward to the 1000th round because once this round was over, his winning streak would rise from more than a hundred thousand points to more than two hundred thousand points.

[System selected, opponent is Ingold]

The name chosen by the system stunned many of the spectators, but many of them began to look forward to it.

The name Ingold had not been mentioned in the Gates of Purgatory for many years. He was a lone traveler in the Gates of Purgatory and had always been a man of few words. However, his strength was recognized by everyone as strong.

Decades ago, he had once challenged a prison tyrant whose strength was ranked in the top three on the first floor because of a certain matter. He had beaten up the other party and all his underlings. From then on, no one else on the first floor came looking for trouble with him. He had spent most of his time in the Outland Battlefield, and no one knew how strong he had become. However, the prison tyrant who had fought him to a draw had gone to the second floor of the Gates of Purgatory more than thirty years ago.

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows slightly when Ingold stepped into the arena wearing a dark green robe with large floral prints and wooden clogs.

His opponent was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with a buzz cut that was not much different from a monk's. Instead, his face was covered with stubble that was slightly longer than his hair. His facial features were rough, but his eyes were especially noteworthy. They were filled with disdain for the world.

"This man isn't simple." This was Gu Ding's first judgment when he saw him.

Gu Ding could also tell that the strength of his opponent's aura had reached the level of a half-step True God. However, he was a little puzzled as to why such a guy would be willing to stay on the first floor of the Gates of Purgatory for so many years.

Standing in front of Gu Ding, Ingold did not attack immediately. Instead, he carefully looked at Gu Ding, and the corners of his eyes gradually raised into a smile. "You're practically carved from the same mold as that man …"

Of course, he only thought this in his heart and did not say it out loud, so Gu Ding could not hear it.

"You're Gu Ding?" Ingold seemed to be very interested in Gu Ding.

"That's right, I'm Gu Ding. Uncle, your name is so hard to pronounce …" Gu Ding did not hide his evaluation.

Hearing this, Ingold was slightly stunned. He remembered that many, many years ago, the man seemed to have said something similar. A distant memory emerged from the depths of his mind.

"Kid, your name is so hard to pronounce. I'll call you Ingold from now on." A man laughed with his hands on his head.

"No." The young man turned his face to the side.

"Then call me Ingold." The man leaned over again and continued to bargain.

"No, that's even worse." The young man turned his face to the side again.

"What? But the full name is so hard to pronounce. Who would remember it?" The man puffed his cheeks in dissatisfaction. After a while, he suddenly revealed his pearly white teeth and said again, "Then call me Lil Anan."

"Don't call me that!" The young man was a little angry.

"Xiao An 'an, Xiao An' an, Xiao An 'an …" The man decided on his own address and sang rhythmically in a strange tone.



The man in his memory gradually overlapped with the young man in front of him, and Ingold's gaze gradually softened.

"Kid, give it your all. Let me see how strong you really are." As soon as Ingold's voice fell, his aura began to grow wildly.

Gu Ding was shocked. His opponent's aura was like the constantly rising sea level, unfathomable and limitless. He could only raise his own aura to fight against his opponent. Otherwise, he would be completely crushed by his opponent's aura until he could not move.

Berserk, activate!

Imperial Body of Wanxiang, activate!

Shura Apocalypse, activate!

Under the pressure of his opponent's aura, Gu Ding was forced to activate his three combat effectiveness enhancement divine abilities, and his combat effectiveness soared to the level of a five-star Half-Step True God.

Gu Ding's heart was also filled with shock. He had not expected such a terrifying and powerful existence to appear on the first level of Purgatory Gates. The other party's cultivation was obviously the same as his, only a 5-star Lower Deity. Gu Ding's current aura had been raised to its limit, but his opponent still looked relaxed.

"Yo, not bad. You're already a five-star Half-Step True God. However, it looks like you've also reached your limit," Ingold's voice was heard faintly.

The clash of auras between the two had caused almost everyone in the arena to retreat. Only a few reserve members of the Order Keepers were still standing firmly in place, but their faces were also filled with shock.

The other challengers were completely stunned. They could clearly feel that the two's auras were like two crazy oceans colliding. They and the others were like small boats in the middle of the ocean that could be completely crushed by the waves at any time. They had no choice but to withdraw from the arena as soon as possible and switch to a video projection to watch the fight.

In the office building in the distance, even the beautiful Warden was a little stunned. It took her a while to react. "Who the hell is Ingold?!"

Belinda searched for it in the system, but the results of the search shocked her. "Miss Warden, this man's information is too high. I can't search it."

"How can that be? Belinda, your authority in Hell Gate is second only to mine. How can it be that your authority is insufficient? "The Warden was a little surprised. She quickly pulled up the data and began to search.

When she saw the words "Insufficient Authority" displayed on the screen, her face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Belinda, all of you leave." At that moment, three figures gradually appeared in the void, and a voice spoke.

The eighteen Order Keepers looked up at the newcomers and bowed. "Commander!"

The eighteen Order Keepers quickly left the Warden's office hall.

"Commanders, this Ingold … Who is he?" The Warden knew that this matter was probably only known by the three Commander Keepers.

"Ingold was a powerhouse who fought with the Lord of Purgatory at that time eighteen eras ago. He severely injured the Lord of Purgatory and forcefully opened the Hell Gate. After entering the Hell Gate, he pierced through the eighteenth floor of the Hell Gate with one blow and disappeared from the eighteenth floor. Later, everyone thought that he might have left or that he might have been killed by the man on the eighteenth floor. Who would have thought that he would appear on the first floor of the Hell Gate again today. "

"Only when one reaches Heavenly God-Level can he initially be recognized by the Hell Gate and become the Lord of Purgatory. That guy was able to severely injure the Lord of Purgatory …" The Warden's face was a little pale, but she could not help but ask, "But why would such a powerhouse look for Gu Ding?"

"Don't look into this matter anymore, lest you anger that powerhouse. Tell the people below to watch their mouths."

The three Order Keepers knew very well that Ingold looking for Gu Ding must have something to do with the man on the eighteenth floor. Both of them were existences that they could not afford to offend, so they could only wait and see.

"I understand." The Warden listened to the three of them and nodded, burying the secret in her heart.
