Chapter 282: 281: The Powerful Ying Wu!
Translator: 549690339
“Miss, they have really started driving people away...”
At the top floor of the Dream Building, a servant girl complained, “They’re ignoring you completely, Miss, and daring to kill the people you invited...”
The one she called ‘Miss’ was a young girl in a snow-white dress, with a perfect figure.
She shook her head and smiled, “Those who can be driven away by them don’t deserve to attend my grand gathering...”
Her voice was captivating, but the implications of her words were chilling.
It was clear that she was looking for people who were exceptional in talent, background, and strength.
The servant girl looked confused and asked, “Miss, didn’t you always say you were looking for a chosen one and everything depended on fate? Then why...”
“Why am I making a selection now?”
With a bright smile, Yan Ruyu replied, “Actually, this isn’t really selection, it’s more like filtering!”
“Anyone who can’t even handle these people’s subordinates certainly isn’t my true match!”
The servant girl was stunned for a moment before she finally understood, “I see. So, you’re saying these people are inadvertently helping you to vet your destined one?”
“Maybe so. But who knows if I will succeed this time...”
A sense of uncertainty shone in her eyes. Clearly, even she was unsure of who she would end up selecting.
...
[Kong Xu has initiated a group chat invite. Accept?]
“Hmm?”
Du Gang felt like he was hallucinating, but the next second he realized the voice was coming from his divine jade talisman.
Realizing this, he quickly took out his Message Jade Talisman.
Sure enough, there was a message waiting for him.
After opening it, Kong Xu’s voice came out.
“Du Gang, are you feeling lost?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Du Gang nodded and simultaneously accepted the group chat invite while replying, “Yeah, what’s going on?”
This was the Primordial Continent, a place with no technology.
“Haha, this is a result of our Ancient City’s collaboration with the Tianji Pavilion, they said it’s a spirit device capable of handling messages...”
Next, Yao Zijie’s voice came in, “It’s like a smart brain. I’ve heard in my tribe that this thing is pretty extraordinary; it’s considered a quasi-saint!”
“Quasi-saint?”
Du Gang was stunned, “What does that mean?”
There were not many people in the group chat. Including Du Gang, there were nine in total, which was the maximum number of people a group could currently have.
Long Aotian was also among them. Clearly, he too had learned some insider information from his family. He explained laughing, “It’s a species capable of nearly infinite multitasking. Our Ancient City and the Tianji Pavilion have jointly elevated it to a level close to a saint. The goal is to handle the information of the entire continent and perform tasks like a cosmic computer...”
What a big commitment!
Du Gang was shocked. They were planning to introduce something like the internet on the Primordial Continent?
This ‘smart brain’ was not just for individual use, but for the use of everyone on the continent.
Although he was not completely clear on what this implied, he had a vague idea from his knowledge of Earth’s technology.
This could be a game changer for the world order, and the potential benefits hidden behind it are unimaginable.
“It’s not ready yet...”
Yao Zijie laughed and shook his head. “Apparently, the creation of the quasi-saint is still missing a few steps. Currently, only our Ancient City area can use the new group chat function. In other places, they can only communicate one on one!”
So, this is like a phone!
Du Gang recalled the toy phone he played with when he was little. His father told him that when he was young, making phone calls required a phone line, and communication was one on one, just voice.
And now, it seemed as though people had finally caught on and were slowly leading the entire continent through the 1G era, and gently towards 2G, 3G, 4G and even 5G.
By the end, no one would fail to perceive the value and potential. Even if the other forces couldn’t see it yet, when the 3G era arrived, some would definitely notice.
At that time, would the entire continent lay siege to the Ancient City?
He did not know!
Thinking too far ahead...
Du Gang shook his head, laughed at himself, feeling like he had too much time on his hands to be pondering such irrelevant matters.
“Hey, have any of you been chased?”
The Little Hawk King’s voice seemed a bit strange, as if he was running.
Long Aotian laughed and asked, “What’s happening, are you being chased?”
“Hehe!”
In this other group, a dashing young man with sword-like brows chuckled mildly, “Only talk such big words when you have the ability to reach the ninth tribulation God-Spirit level!”
“Hahaha!”
The surrounding crowd burst into dutiful laughter.
“You little first tribulation God-Spirit brats are too arrogant. When you realise that no matter how hard you try, you can’t break through to the second tribulation God-Spirit level, you’ll know how ignorant and how ridiculous today’s words are!”
Every person in the audience who had been able to enter the park was at least a first tribulation God-Spirit themselves.
And yet, those at the first tribulation were the fewest in number, barely one or two hundred, basically the youngest prodigies of all the clans.
The majority were at the third or sixth tribulation God-Spirit levels.
Although each tribulation for a God-Spirit was a trial, every three-tribulation brought a not insignificant bottleneck, which is why there were the most people at the third and sixth stages!
They had struggled hard to reach the third or sixth tribulation, and consequently saw their past selves in Long Aotian and the others.
“It’s just a ninth tribulation God-Spirit. I will reach it someday, and when that time comes...”
The young man with sword-like brows cut off Long Aotian’s sentence, “If you won’t accept my words, I can suppress my cultivation level to fight you. Do you dare?”
“Why wouldn...”
“Wait!!”
Before Long Aotian could finish his sentence, Little Hawk King quickly covered his mouth.
“Are you an idiot? The Supreme Technique he has mastered must be far ahead of yours...”
Long Aotian was taken aback, but quickly realized.
These people were already at the ninth tribulation God-Spirit level, even if they suppressed their cultivation level to fight him, their progress in the Supreme Technique couldn’t be suppressed. That meant he still couldn’t beat them!
A ninth tribulation God-Spirit man with green hair ridiculed, “If you can’t do it, then don’t puff up! You guys are still young, it’s just that you’ve met us and are here... In any other place, you would be dead by now!”
Though the green-haired man’s tone was indifferent, his threat was implicit. It was as if, if they weren’t here, they would have already met their end.
“In what other place?”
A man with a hooked nose walked out at this moment, “Are you thinking of killing the descendants of the Ying family?”
The green-haired man’s face changed, but being surrounded by so many people, he couldn’t lose face, so he retorted, “Humph, your Ying family is just one of the eighteen big families in the Ancient City. Once you leave the influence of the city, you’re nothing...”
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a chill wind passed by.
Eagle Shaking the Sky!
A massive claw shadow appeared.
“How dare you!”
The green-haired man was furious, but there was no time to explain further as he quickly started to defend himself.
He didn’t expect that Ying Wu would actually dare to attack him.
“Humph!” Ying Wu snorted coldly, with no intention of withholding his hand.
“We’re both at the ninth tribulation, you’re going too far!”
The green-haired man quickly bellowed in rage and stood his ground against the attack.
“Boom!”
Following a loud blast, a deep pit appeared at the original site. Apart from that, nothing remained. The green-haired man who had been standing there disappeared without a trace.
“Where’s the guy?”
“He’s been blasted to ashes!”
The audience, all of them powerful, naturally had a rough understanding of what had just occurred.
Many were taken aback by Ying Wu’s action, not expecting him to react so violently at a single word.
“Humph!”
Ying Wu swept his gaze around, declaring coldly, “Anyone who dares threaten the descendants of the Ying Family will end like this!”
The surrounding crowd went silent, none daring to provoke him.
At this point, Little Hawk King stepped forward and called out, “Clan leader!”
Hearing this address, Du Gang’s eyes revealed a sense of ‘so that’s how it is’.
He had previously suspected that this man, being a ninth tribulation God-Spirit, might well be the Ying family’s clan leader. Additionally, he had heard that this clan leader was also pursuing Yan Ruyu.
Ying Wu nodded slightly without saying much, and walked towards the more central area.
This place was, after all, only the outer region. He had arrived late, which was why he had just witnessed the drama outside.
In fact, even among the ninth tribulation, the gap was not small. For instance, Ying Wu and the green-haired man were both at the ninth tribulation God-Spirit level, but their strengths varied greatly.
Ying Wu used just one move, and both the body and soul of the green-haired man were obliterated in an instant.
