Chapter 1345

About twenty minutes later, the gatekeeper, Keslake, arrived.

He looked to be in his mid-thirties and was only wearing a pair of jeans. His feet were bare, and his upper body was bare, revealing his bulging muscles and a few obvious scars. Coupled with the stiff stubble on his face, he gave off a tough vibe.

As a powerhouse ranked nine thousand on the Transcendent Leaderboard, Keslake was also the gatekeeper who had been challenged the most. This was because anyone who wanted to enter the top nine thousand would have to challenge him. Every time a newcomer appeared on the Transcendent Leaderboard, most of them would be ranked above nine thousand. These newcomers who had just entered the Transcendent Leaderboard were usually very confident in themselves, and many of them chose to challenge the gatekeeper ranked nine thousand.

In fact, when Keslake saw the new Transcendent Leaderboard ranking, he had already expected to be challenged by a newcomer. However, he did not expect it to come so soon. Less than half an hour after the leaderboard was released, Babel Pagoda had already notified him to accept the challenge.

When he received the notification, Keslake was secretly on guard. He had been on the Transcendent Leaderboard for many years and knew many things very well. Usually, newcomers who challenged the gatekeeper at the first sign of trouble were either brainless idiots. Or they were really strong and did not need to wait and see or test the waters.

Most newcomers with a bit of brains would definitely test the standards of the guy who was ranked slightly higher than them before challenging the gatekeeper. Then, they would start to collect all kinds of information about the gatekeeper, including battle videos, and so on, to study the gatekeeper's weaknesses. Once they were prepared for the gatekeeper's weaknesses, they would challenge him.

"Who wants to challenge me?!"

His voice was hoarse and deep, but it resonated with his chest, like muffled thunder exploding.

When he saw Keslake looking in the direction of the bar, the dark-skinned, muscular man immediately moved aside, afraid that there would be a misunderstanding. As a Nine-star Lord ranked twelve thousand something, he just wanted to try his luck with a newcomer on the Transcendent Leaderboard. He could not bring himself to challenge Keslake who was ranked nine thousand on the Transcendent Leaderboard.

Keslake quickly moved away from him and looked at Biggie who was sitting in front of the bar. He completely ignored Gu Ding who was sitting next to Biggie. "Big guy, are you the one who wants to challenge me?"

Biggie turned around and shook his head with a silly smile. "I'll challenge you, but not now. The one who will challenge you now is our captain. "

"I'm the challenger. You're the keeper of the 9,000th place, right?" Gu Ding looked at Kasylyk from head to toe and grinned.

"You're the newbie called Gu Ding, right? The guy who ranked first in the Hidden Dragon Rank last year. " Kasryk could tell that Gu Ding's cultivation was only at the level of a seven-star Lord. He immediately knew Gu Ding's identity and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. "The ranking of the Hidden Dragon List is largely related to luck. The ranking of the Sky Pagoda is different. It depends on real power."

In his opinion, no matter how strong Gu Ding was, he was only a seven-star Lord. There was a two-level gap between their cultivation levels. They were all True Sage Kings, and he had already reached the second level in the evolution of three god sequence chains. These were absolute disparities, and Gu Ding was no match for him.

Gu Ding could see the disdain in the man's eyes, but he did not bother to waste time explaining anything. "Get on the stage, Keeper!"

Keepers were different from ordinary people. As long as the challenge met the requirements and did not violate the rules, they could not refuse it.

For newcomers like Gu Ding who had just entered the Extraordinary Ranking, they had a chance to challenge a keeper once a month in their first year. If they won, they could continue the challenge. If they lost, they could challenge again every month. However, there were not so many restrictions when challenging people other than the keeper. If the person being challenged did not want to accept the challenge, they could choose to refuse.

Gu Ding downed the sixth cup of milca in one gulp and stepped into the ring.

Kasylyk also appeared in the arena in a flash.

Biggie turned around with a glass of juice in his hand and looked at the ring where the two were. This was his eighth cup of juice. He had just taken a sip with a straw when he stared at the glass. "Sweet flower fruit, sour grass, bright jade berries, and a slight numbing feeling … It's like ink snake venom … We dilute this kind of high-grade seasoning thirty thousand times before we dare to use it, but she didn't dilute it at all. No wonder this drink is called Viper, and there's a rule that anyone below the level of a Lord can't drink it. It's because Lords will die if they drink it … "

In the ring, the two had already started fighting.

When Kasryk saw that Gu Ding had no intention of making the first move, he was a little angry. "Since you look down on me, don't blame me for bullying you!"

In front of him, a god sequence chain quickly condensed into the shape of a beast. It was a giant crimson ape that he had condensed from visualizing the Primordial Vicious Ape.

He directly displayed the evolution of the second level of the god sequence chain to scare Gu Ding and let him know his strength.

Many people around were shocked because many people had not achieved the evolution of the second level of the god sequence chain. Even if some people on the Extraordinary Ranking had achieved it, they would not be able to evolve a powerful existence like the Primordial Vicious Ape.

Although the Primordial Vicious Ape was not on the Primordial Vicious Beast Ranking, it was not far from the bottom of the ranking.

"I heard that Kasryk bought a complete Primordial Vicious Ape's remains at an auction a few years ago. He really used it to visualize the god sequence chain."

"This Primordial Vicious Ape's completeness is really scary. It's like a real vicious ape has been resurrected."

"Kasryk's strength seems to have become stronger again. His vicious ape has already visualized a trace of the Primordial Vicious Beast's aura. I estimate that in a few years, the evolution of the second level of this god sequence chain will be complete. "

Many powerhouses on the Extraordinary Ranking who had seen Kasryk in action expressed their opinions. Some of the Nine-star Lords who were not on the Extraordinary Ranking were completely shocked.

"I wonder when I'll be able to evolve the god sequence chain to the second level …"

"I have a god sequence chain that has completed the evolution of the first level, but I haven't found a clue to evolve the second level after spending two or three years …"

In the arena, Gu Ding only smiled faintly. "Not bad. You've reached the level of Visualization."

"You're still so arrogant!" Kasryk hated Gu Ding to the core. He felt that Gu Ding was still bragging. "Let's see if you're still so arrogant when you're killed!"

With a thought, the giant crimson ape moved. It leaped up and slapped toward Kasryk.

This slap caused the entire space to freeze and cracks to appear. Many of the spectators felt that there was no way to avoid it because it was too fast.

Just as everyone was wondering how Gu Ding would react, they saw that Gu Ding did not react at all. He did not even have time to put up a defensive stance before the giant ape's slap passed through him.

"His body was smashed to pieces. This is called acting tough!" Someone below the arena chuckled softly.

Before the person could finish laughing, the giant ape's body suddenly sank and fell to the ground. It used its two forelimbs to prop itself up, trying to get up, but it was futile.

Just as they were feeling strange, many people noticed that there was a young man standing firmly behind the giant ape's head.

"Give it your all. Otherwise, the next one to fall to the ground will be you," Gu Ding said lightly to Kasryk.
