Chapter 1222

Before entering the True King Palace's system city, Gu Ding had never thought that he would be able to improve his strength with his current cultivation.

He had originally planned to advance directly to lord-level, but now he had to put that plan on hold. However, he was a little worried that Neptune and the others would not be able to handle it if he delayed his advancement to lord-level for a month.

After exiting the True King Palace's system, Gu Ding returned to the spaceship and was about to discuss the matter with Neptune. However, he was surprised to find that less than two hours had passed on his wristwatch. He took a closer look at the date and realized that it was not the next day. He clearly remembered that he had stayed in the True King Palace's system city for almost eighteen hours.

"The flow of time in that city is ten times faster than the actual flow of time?!" Gu Ding suddenly realized this. "In other words, if I stay there for thirty days, only three days will have passed in reality."

After confirming this, Gu Ding knew that there was no need to discuss the matter with Neptune. He left a message to Neptune saying that he would be away for three days. Then, he dove into the system again.

Returning to the system city built by the True King Palace, Gu Ding began to arrange his challenge time. For ordinary challenge letters, the challenged had the priority to choose the time of the challenge.

At this time, the number of challengers had increased to nearly six hundred. In other words, for the next thirty days, Gu Ding would have to accept at least twenty challenges a day, provided that the number of challengers did not continue to increase.

Gu Ding used the system to set the ranking rules, ranking the challengers from bad to good, and then set the challenge time for the top thirty challengers to be now.

The system quickly completed the first match …

A dialog box suddenly popped up in front of a bearded man who was gnawing on the thigh of an unknown animal.

"The challenged, Gu Ding, has accepted your challenge and has arranged for the challenge to be now."

"Please log into the True King City within three minutes. You will be sent directly to the ring. If you log in beyond that time, you will be deemed to have forfeited the challenge. The challenged, Gu Ding, will be awarded the victory. "

"F * ck, this newbie has guts (please use 'guts', don't separate them ~). Today is only the first day in the True King City. He should have just finished touring the whole city by now, but he accepted the challenge just like that! Looks like another arrogant guy. That's great, I'm about to get 1 experience point. "

The bearded man swallowed the half-meter-long thigh along with the bone in a few bites. He then smeared the grease on his stomach. His shirt was covered in black grease from the chest to the stomach. It was not much cleaner than the range hood on Planet Aquamarine that had not been cleaned for three years.

After wiping off the oil stains, he calmly clicked on the login page. The next moment, he completely disappeared.

The match was an open challenge. As soon as Gu Ding was teleported to the ring, the three-minute countdown at the top of the ring began. Gu Ding waited for two minutes and fifty seconds. Not only was there no audience, but even his opponent did not appear. He waited for two minutes and fifty seconds. Not, not even his opponent. Gu Gu Gu had thought.

Although the man's body was completely covered under the black robe, Gu Ding could clearly see that the man's extraordinarily large waistline was stretching the robe. His stomach gave the impression that the robe was about to burst.

The man was about two meters tall. Gu Ding could imagine what it would be like when he stood on the electronic scale.

While Gu Ding was looking at the man, Big Beard was checking his information.

Since anonymous challenges could not be checked by outsiders, the amount of experience points a person had was a private matter. Therefore, from Big Beard's point of view, Gu Ding's battle count was zero. His wins and losses were also zero.

"Kid, I didn't expect my luck to be so good today. I'm the first person to challenge you." Big Beard smiled at Gu Ding. "I know you've just been promoted to True Sage King. That's why you're so confident. However, in the True Sage King Hall, a guy like you can only be at the bottom. I'm also a True Sage King, but my cultivation has already risen to the level of an extreme Overgod. Even if my cultivation is suppressed and I can't use many techniques, my understanding of battle isn't something a little kid like you can compare to. "

"Next, I'll teach you your first lesson. I'll let you know how ignorant you are to be arrogant."

Big Beard did not attack immediately. Instead, he waited for Gu Ding to respond.

"Are you done? If you're done, let's get started. I'm in a bit of a hurry. I have to complete thirty challenges in twenty hours. So … "

Big Beard was stunned for a moment. He thought that Gu Ding was humiliating him and was about to say something else.

However, Gu Ding did not intend to let him continue talking nonsense because he was in a hurry.

With one step, he appeared in front of Big Beard. His body movement also used the laws of time and space.

In Big Beard's eyes, Gu Ding was like a ghost who appeared in front of him without any warning.

Before Big Beard could react, Gu Ding's fist landed on his stomach. One punch after another, Gu Ding did not hold back at all.

By the time Big Beard reacted, Gu Ding had already punched him dozens of times.

Although it was only dozens of punches, it caused serious damage to Big Beard's body. As Gu Ding felt that his opponent's body was strong, his defense might be extremely high, so he attacked the same point. This caused Big Beard's stomach to be completely penetrated, and a fist-sized hole appeared.

Although he managed to block Gu Ding's punch in the end, his body flew backward under the impact of the heavy punches and slammed hard into the protective shield.

Big Beard spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could speak, the system automatically judged him to have failed the challenge.

In True Ruler City, as long as one side lost more than a third of their bodily functions in the arena, they would be immediately judged to have failed.

Gu Ding's attack had temporarily immobilized Big Beard. He would need at least thirty seconds to completely repair the damage Gu Ding had done to his body. On a real battlefield, thirty seconds was enough for Gu Ding to kill him countless times over.

[Winner: Gu Ding!]

Another notification popped up in Gu Ding's inbox as soon as the results of the judgment appeared.

[Challenge won! Obtained 10 experience points.]

Gu Ding felt the joy of victory as he watched his opponent teleport away from the arena. This was also his first official battle with a True King level opponent. Previously, he had only sparred with Becca, and neither of them had used their full strength. This time, he truly felt the joy of going all out in a battle.

[Mr. Gu Ding, after this battle, you will be given one hour to recuperate. You can choose to recuperate for one hour and accept the next challenge after one hour, or you can choose to challenge immediately.]

Gu Ding knew that this was the rule of the arena. In continuous challenge mode, the contestants who participated in the arena were given at least one hour to recuperate after each challenge. If the system judged that the contestant was unable to recover within one hour to recuperate, more time would be given. However, the shortest recuperation time given by the system was one hour. Of course, if the contestant was confident enough in his strength, or had other reasons, he could choose to challenge immediately.

That was exactly what Gu Ding was doing. "I choose to proceed to the next challenge immediately!"
