“It’s Du Gang’s squad, they’re here!”

Before Du Gang and the others even reached the Communication Zone, someone shouted from afar.

“They really are here!”

The first sight that met the eyes of those who looked in the direction of the sound was Niu Dazhuang’s massive shield.

Although warriors are the most numerous in the Communication Zone, there are also some tanks. However, the average tank is usually of normal human size. Even if they have a shield, it’s usually around one meter. Nothing like Niu Dazhuang who carries a four-meter shield.

A four-meter shield falls into the category of super-sized shields. Only the Niu Family members can carry such a shield. However, there aren’t many people from the Niu Family in the first layer of the abyss, apart from Niu Dazhuang, there are only three or four others in the upper half of the wild area.

Quickly, Niu Dazhuang took the lead to walk into the crowd. The people around the Communication Zone, who were watching very consciously, opened up a big road involuntarily.

Only after Niu Dazhuang passed did everyone see the four people hidden behind him.

“My God, that expression...”

“I...”

I seriously want to punch someone!

Upon seeing the provocative expressions and attitudes of Little Hawk King and Long Aotian, some spectators on both sides of the road were fiercely tempted to lose their cool.

However, thinking of the strength and background of this group, they relented and decided just to enjoy the show

Du Gang made one miscalculation. Although these people were ordinary compared to them, they were actually top-level prodigies.

Who among those who have become spiritual gods hasn’t fought their way out of billions of people?

So, upon seeing the attitudes of Little Hawk King and Long Aotian, the crowd didn’t feel any admiration or respect. Instead, they were ignited with a desire to beat them up.

They really wanted to smash their faces and ask them if they knew how many eyes the horse king had?!

Forget it, the wicked have their own grind. Looking at them, they must be heading to the upper half of the wild area where they’ll probably be ganged up on...

Just like that, the bubbling excitement of the people on both sides of the road, who originally wanted to watch the excitement, suddenly chilled down.

“Why isn’t anyone saying anything?”

Niu Dazhuang felt a little uneasy and quickly asked through a private message.

Du Gang comforted him: “Don’t worry, they are just intimidated by our aura!”

“Hahaha, see, they are all scared of me...” Although Long Aotian maintained a cold exterior, his heart was surging with feelings, and he kept boasting about it through private messages.

Upon hearing this, Little Hawk King scoffed, “They are scared of me, they admire me. Don’t you know that when I walk in front of you, all their eyes are on me?”

“Nonsense, they are clearly all looking at this king!”

Long Aotian was discontented, “What’s so good about your hooked nose? Hawks are everywhere. But this king is the only one!”

“Get lost, is there only one person in your Dragon Family? You’re the only one?!”

Little Hawk King mocked: “Why don’t you take a leak and look at yourself...”

Regarding the bickering between the two of them, the other three were indifferent and no one intervened. They were accustomed to this; if these two didn’t argue for a bit, it felt strange.

Not bothering to pay attention to the two squabbling, Du Gang turned his gaze to the pedestrians on both sides of the road.

“This gaze, something seems off?!”

He was somewhat puzzled. The usual look of admiration or envy was either an upward glance or harmonious facial features, which could be clearly seen.

But now, the people on both sides of the road were oddly distorted, and none of them were looking at them squarely.

“What’s going on with these guys?”

Du Gang began to ponder deeply.

Could it be that people from the upper half of the wild area, knowing that we were coming, bribed them in advance to show us some color?

That’s not right. Even if these people look at us like this, what harm does it do to us?

None, hiring these people just to give us an unfriendly look, it’s not likely...

After thinking about it, he ruled out some guesses.

So, are these people... simply looking at us like we deserve a beating?

Du Gang was a bit baffled, why do we deserve a beating?

The same five-person team, the same first tribulation divine spirit, what’s different?

The only difference is, our team has more momentum, and a stronger aura...

He thought to himself, “So, these guys, are they jealous of our aura and temperament? Jealous that we are about to step into the upper half of the wild area?!”

Once this guess came out, Du Gang felt that he was very close to the truth. At the moment, his team was about to cross the communication zone, so he glanced around.

Indeed, are these guys all jealous of us?

Ha, jealousy makes you lose face!

Du Gang sneered and transmitted his voice to the other four: “Keep walking, don’t panic, these guys are just jealous that we are doing better than them. Let’s continue advancing into the upper wild area!”

Upon hearing this, Dazhuang sighed in relief, replied with an acknowledgment, then adjusted his posture, and continued to move forward with his honest look.

Long Aotian and Little Hawk King didn’t react much, “Jealous of me, isn’t that very normal?”

“I’ve been envied by others since I was a child, and I’m used to it!”

As for Qiao Bing, she sighed.

She had been trying very hard to create a style, but sadly, everyone’s attention was on the people in front, and no one was looking at her.

Was it because she wasn’t pretty enough?

No, she was very beautiful and fit the goddess standard. Even Dazhuang thought she was the icy goddess of the village.

This type of icy goddess was just glanced at by the crowd and then forgotten.

They were all adults, able to see pros and cons clearly. They knew they have no chance with this icy goddess, so rather than wasting time, why not pay attention to those ahead.

“Du Gang, who is he really and how did he become the team leader?”

Everyone was very curious at this moment, not knowing how Du Gang, with his qualifications and ability, was able to become the leader of a team that included Long Aotian and Little Hawk King.

Based on these two people’s current stance, it felt like they were number one and two under heaven. No one could tame them.

But now...Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“Maybe, it’s because this Du Gang is smart enough, with a wise brain??”

“No way, Long Aotian and Little Hawk King don’t seem like people who would follow others...”

The name of Ancient God is widely renowned in the universe, but in Primordial Continent, they have become a forlorn race from many eons ago. Even the people here in the Ancient City abyss did not know much about them.

At this point, a divine spirit from Penglai laughed and said: “Do you guys remember the one who initiated the Golden Age in our Ancient City? The Ancient God, he was the former ruler of the Ancient City, and Du Gang is his only successor...”

The initiator of the Golden Age?

Everyone wasn’t surprised by this, such a statement has been around since tens of billions of years ago. It was spread from the Ancient City, and once it was spread, it was widely known by all clans on the continent.

Basically, every clan on the Primordial Continent could have a Golden Age, with its own initiator.

Some people believed this, some did not, so it was all good, it didn’t cause much uproar.

“Ancient Gods, I thought this race had already died out long ago...”

“Yeah, I remember a long time ago there was no news about the Ancient Gods anymore. At the time, many cities around the Ancient City were divided up by different clans...”

Penglai universe was an internal universe located in the Ancient City’s Guiding Square. Although it belonged to the Supreme, from the perspective of people on Primordial Continent, it was just a small world with limited circulation.

The Penglai people in the Ancient City didn’t spread word of Du Gang, after all, they were well aware that while Du Gang was well-known in the Ancient City’s circles, he wasn’t considered anything spectacular by other forces and therefore not worth mentioning.

At the moment, those who had the qualifications to enter the upper half of the wild area had also separated from the crowd, following with the intention of seeing this group getting beaten and humiliated.

There weren’t many, only about twenty people followed Du Gang, all undoubtedly belonging to teams with Destroyers.

“What are these people following us for?”

“I don’t know, maybe they want to ask for my autograph?”

“Shameless!”

Just as Long Aotian and Little Hawk King were bickering, the people following behind started talking.

“Do you guys think their team will go to the upper wild area and hunt first tier wild monsters?”

“Trying to steal a tier-one monster? It’s not easy, that place is full of powerhouses...”

These more than twenty Destroyers, although they had enough qualifications to enter the upper half of the wilderness, they still barely made it in the lower half of the wilderness.

Because they couldn’t steal tier-one monsters in the upper half of the wilderness, they could only hunt the Demon Clan. And the power of the Demon Clan in the upper half of the wilderness is not weak. From Destroyer, Controller to Master, all kinds of them are present, which is very unfriendly towards them.

Just like their team is only newly entered into the Destroyer level, and they ended up meeting a Demon Clan squad led by a Master. Except for being totally annihilated, there’s hardly any other way out.

Although even if they were annihilated they wouldn’t die, they could still survive and reshape their bodies. But reshaping costs quite a lot, reconstituting a physical body costs around two hundred Divine Crystals, and the better the constitution, the higher the price for reshaping.

“If they don’t steal tier-one monsters, there’s no point in them going to the upper half of the wilderness!”

“Hey, they just got promoted to Destroyers, going to see the upper half of the wilderness is quite normal!”

The more than twenty people who followed became Destroyers, which meant they each controlled at least one Mystic Level Art, or even a saintly technique. From this, it can be seen that their backgrounds are not simple, so they wouldn’t be scared by the backgrounds of Long Aotian, Little Hawk King and others.

The purpose of their deliberate speech was to poke fun, and tell Du Gang and others, your strength is just so-so, stop pretending and save yourselves from the humiliation of running away with your tail between your legs.

“The hell, are those guys indirectly mocking us?”

Little Hawk King was the first to speak, with an indignant tone.

He had seen too many people like this, his family had many of such people, so he could easily pick up on it.

Long Aotian had also heard plenty of such talk, he could hear, angrily said: “Damn, Du Gang, give the order, we will kill them when we get back!”

Dazhuang was walking at the forefront, hearing this, somewhat speechless, not only did he not slow down, but instead, he quickened his pace.

These guys are pretending, don’t they know that themselves?

Those are over twenty Destroyers!

At the moment, even he couldn’t help but mutter crazy complaints in his heart.

Hearing the two people’s swagger, Du Gang casually said, “The important thing is to claim Wolf Forest, let these people ... go.”

Just like that, Du Gang and others still remained indifferent, briskly walking towards the location of the first level of the abyss.

The more than twenty people following behind were somewhat surprised that Long Aotian and Little Hawk King could withstand their ridicule.

It doesn’t seem to match the arrogant attitude they were showing, does it?!

“To participate in the chicken coop monster snatching, you need at least 60 Naer Divine Power, right?!”

“60 Naer Divine Power and you want to get into the chicken coop? I myself can use 59 Naer Divine Power, but I still can’t snatch a single tier-one monster in the chicken coop...”

“Yes, if you want to compete in the chicken coop, don’t think too much if you don’t have 65 Naer power!”

“I think 65 Naer is still too low, under normal circumstances, the strongest team in the chicken coop, has the strength of a Controller...”

They are the direct descendants among direct descendants; even ordinary direct descendants from the ancient city would not easily offend these two.

“If they really want to seize a spot... what should we do?”

The crowd was mulling over this question in their minds, unable to come up with an answer for a while.

“However, their position seems to be heading deeper....”

“Let’s watch what happens, at least they haven’t bothered us yet.....”

Some people spoke these words, but in their hearts, they were uncertain about how to react if these people do cause trouble.

At this time, a proud youth of a small tribe from the Penglai Universe chuckled, “I know where they’re heading, they’re definitely going to find Fu Rong’s team!”

“Fu Rong?”

The crowd was taken aback, puzzled at his words, frowning, “Fu Rong is the most potent team in our Wolf Forest. Have these guys lost their minds? Dare to seek out Fu Rong’s team?!”

“Haha, not exactly, they’re likely looking for Jiang Tianpeng from Fu Rong’s team!”

“Jiang Tianpeng, it is said that he once surrounded and killed Du Gang in our small Penglai world....”

“Du Gang is the captain of this team, he is also from our small world....”

“So, they have a grudge....”

Everyone suddenly understood and promptly became spirited again.

“So, are you saying we’ll have a show to watch later?!”

“Watch the show or will we miss the monster refresh...”

“We won’t miss it; there’s still half an hour before the refresh. We have sufficient time....”

As the heated discussion continued, all the previously idle people started to follow Du Gang and his group, eager to see what they were up to.

Shortly after, Niu Dazhuang, leading with his shield, arrived at the deepest part of the Wolf Forest, right before Fu Rong’s team’s location.

“They really came to trouble Fu Rong’s team...”

The people who had arrived here all lowered their voice, eager to see what Du Gang and his team would say.

At this time, when the team halted, and Dazhuang put down his shield, the members of Fu Rong’s team finally saw the faces of the people behind him.

“Du Gang?”

Jiang Tianpeng was astonished and slightly in disbelief. How had Du Gang appeared here?

They had just been discussing whether to shame Du Gang or not, and now he had appeared before them in such a way.

How could he dare to come over?!

At this point, after hearing Jiang Tianpeng’s words, Fu Rong’s team quickly realized that they were here for Jiang Tianpeng. However, they did not rush but instead handed over the right to speak to their team leader, Fu Rong.

Fu Rong’s brow furrowed, voicing out, “What are you all up to?”

He was straightforward, too lazy for pleasantries, his strength provided him with colossal confidence.

All present held their breaths, their eyes fixated on Du Gang, after all, he was the team leader of the Du Gang squad.

“Thump, Thump!”

Du Gang strolled carelessly, bypassing the bulky Niu Dazhuang who hindered the view, glanced at Fu Rong and said indifferently, “Nothing much. Just heard that there are divine crystals dropped in the Wolf Forest. Thought we’d take a look.”

Fu Rong shook his head, “If you want to watch the beasts drop divine crystals, you could do so from the outskirts. Why did you come here?”

Du Gang smiled, “We’re not only interested in seeing the divine crystals, but also in studying them, to see what is so amazing about them...”

“Humph!”

Fu Rong smirked, “Divine crystals have been in existence for billions of years, no one has ever dared to say they can study it, and yet you think you can?”

Du Gang gave a nonchalant smile, saying, “Studying is not against the law. Just because others can’t doesn’t mean we can’t...”

Fu Rong cut to the chase, “Don’t beat around the bush. You ignored the beasts on the outskirts and made such a large commotion all the way here. What are you trying to do?”

Without him asking, others had already guessed Du Gang’s purpose from the confrontational dialogue between them.

Jiang Tianpeng was glaring so fiercely at Du Gang, sulking as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

With a leisurely smile, Du Gang said, “What else would we do? Of course, we’re here to hunt beasts. Your position here is pretty good. I want it!”

“Hiss~!”

Everyone present was taken aback by his nonchalant statement, staring at him in shock.

The ones opposite of him were, after all, Fu Rong’s team — the dominant team in the Level 1 beast area.

The fact they could occupy the best position in the Level 1 beast area was proof of their strength.

Yet here was Du Gang’s team, who had just came from the lower half beast zone, directly challenging the strongest team in Level 1 beast area!

Everyone dared not breathe, their eyes wide, waiting for Fu Rong’s response.

“Haha!”

Fu Rong burst out laughing suddenly, his chest heaving with laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After a good while, with Du Gang’s team seeming indifferent, Fu Rong’s face gradually turned cold.

“You want this spot?”

He said icily, “What are you offering for it?”

As his frosty voice echoed, the four teammates standing behind him drew their weapons, pointing at Du Gang’s group.

“Thump!”

A loud thud echoed when Niu Dazhuang reflexively put down his giant shield, using it as a blockade.

However, only he reacted. The other four didn’t move, remained calm and indifferent with no reactions.

“Du Gang, what’s the plan? If it comes to blows, we’re done for. Should I act out in anger?”

Long Aotian was starting to get anxious. He did not want his dragon’s body to be disintegrated if a fight broke out.

Even though he could be revived after death, it was not the same as his original body. Therefore, nobody wanted to die if it could be avoided.

Du Gang soothed, “No need. You two just need to maintain your cool, don’t speak or make unnecessary moves. Just stand here, staring at them coldly...”

Hearing this, Little Hawk King was relieved, “Got it. But let me be clear, if it comes down to it, I can only hold off one of them. If you guys die, I’ll retreat...”

He could clearly see the difference in strength between the two sides. In their team of five Destroyers, three only had the power of the Destroyer. On the other hand, they were Controllers, who could launch several powerful attacks. Even if they couldn’t judge the future, it was evident that they could suppress them right now. If Du Gang hadn’t done so many things before, earning so much respect, he would have already fled.

Du Gang smiled, saying, “I master a Supreme Technique, a Sage Technique. Long Aotian masters a Supreme Technique, and Little Hawk King masters a Supreme Technique. Is this qualification enough?!”

“Hiss~! ”

The people present gasped.

Supreme Technique!

“My God, Supreme Skills, all three of them actually master it!”

Most members present were from smaller clans, primarily possessing only Mystic Level Arts, with few mastering sage-level arts. Yet in Du Gang’s team, three members had achieved this.

Du Gang said calmly, “Two years ago, we three became Eternals and ventured out of the universe towards the Primordial Continent. One year ago, with the aid of my teammates, I successfully augmented my Divine Power by 50 naers in the lower half of the first layer of the Abyss, thus becoming a Destroyer...”

“Now, after another year, Long Aotian and Little Hawk King have also become Destroyers. So, here we are!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was immensely shocked.

Previously, their concern was just the identities of Long Aotian and the others; they hadn’t thought much else. But now, hearing his open admission, everyone was shocked.

“With 50 naers of Divine Power and our current strength, all we need is a year at most to hunt in the lower half of the Abyss, and all three of us will collectively become Controllers!”

Controllers!

Those words pierced through everyone present like needles.

To them, a Controller was a being unattainably high above; they could never hope to become one, possibly even if they managed to become Second Tribulation Divine Spirits.

Destroyer, Manipulator, Controller— they denote strength and status. Some powerful controllers could even release attacks comparable to ordinary Second Tribulation Divine Spirits. If this Second Tribulation Divine Spirit has only mastered a Yellow Grade technique, then the Controller among the First Tribulation Divine Spirits even has the chance to defy course to ascend!

Such are the gulfs between beings; sometimes they are simply enormous!

These scions of greater clans, wielding Supreme Techniques, indisputably overpower the smaller clan members.

Even if Fu Rong, who has cultivated the Mystic Level Art to two percent, attains the level of a manipulator, what’s the use?

They have mastered the Heavenly Level Cultivation Method, inherently outclassing you by two grades!

Du Gang smiled, “At most, in a year, at least three in our team will become Controllers. Think it over!”

Jiang Tianpeng couldn’t resist responding at this point, “Du Gang, you’ve targeted me. If you have any issues, deal with me...”

Du Gang shook his head, “You once conspired to assassinate me with others. Though you didn’t succeed, I remember that grudge...”

“Give me the spot now. I’ll handle our karma when I become a manipulator. If not, I’ll do so a year later when I become a Controller. Then I’ll give you a respectable response!”

The threatening overtone was all too obvious!

Du Gang, of course, knew the heart of the matter. Becoming a divine spirit isn’t a feat for fools; so, why would they believe their strength to be too great?

So, his appearance here is a display of his power, leveraging his background, potential, and grudge with Jiang Tianpeng.

His grudges were optional; after all, he hadn’t been harmed. However, it’s not the same for Jiang Tianpeng.

Jiang Tianpeng was of average talent and didn’t even belong to the main lineage, unlike Du Gang, a main-line member with an unlimited future.

Because Jiang Tianpeng attempted to assassinate Du Gang first, his potential obliteration by Du Gang in the future wouldn’t even stir a word of protest. Now, a chance to resolve their karma has revealed itself.

Jiang Tianpeng was silent. This matter couldn’t be settled solely by him. Occupying this spot wasn’t his lone achievement, but a collective one of the Fu Rong team.

Fu Rong laughed.

After glancing at Jiang Tianpeng, then at his own teammates, he agreed, “Enough, you can have the spot!”

Jiang Tianpeng, hearing this, was greatly relieved.

Compared to the location, his karma with Du Gang was evidently significant!

As for Du Gang, karma, location, face, etc., were all unimportant. The most critical aspect was to enhance his strength in the shortest possible time!

All these matters were but bargaining chips and tools to intimidate people by exhibiting his potential power. His ultimate goal was to enhance his power at top speed!

Immediately after Fu Rong’s declaration, his team moved away towards the second spot, previously occupied by another team.

“We’ll take your number two spot. Any objections?”

The team at the number two spot hesitated for a moment, shook their heads, glanced at Du Gang’s position, and decided to leave for the number three spot.

For them, it didn’t matter which spot they occupied, as long as they were able to absorb the essence!

As for the other people, it also didn’t matter; one team squeezing another quickly resulted in the team positioned last in the outskirts getting driven out of the Wolf Forest.

Although they were bewildered, clueless as to why Du Gang snatched the first position displacing them to the last, they dared not quarrel with Du Gang’s team.

Even with the weakest strength in the Wolf Forest, they still refrained from protesting against Du Gang’s team and left Wolf Forest with a sigh, heading towards the chicken coop. Although Wolf Forest was lost, there was still room for them to grow in the chicken coop!

In this way, Du Gang and his team easily occupied the prime position within the Wolf Forest!
