800 years ago, 3000 dimensional gates opened across the entire world. In that moment, it was as if 3000 different colored eyes opened across the world as hordes of monsters swarmed out of these gates like tears.

Chapter 897: The First Mythical-level Monster Card!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every summoning beast went all out on the battlefield.

Bloody separated its parasitic army into two groups. The team consisting of thousands of triple mutated immortal-level rank-9 monsters were responsible for killing immortal-level rank-9 monsters while the team with monsters above imperial-level would be responsible for killing imperial-level black gold-rank to yellow gold-rank monsters.

The Evil Dominator used an imperial-level purple gold-rank substitute right away which was Yu Hong's body expert in assassinating. Lin Huang even handed the expert-grade demigod short dagger relic that Yu Hong usually used to the Evil Dominator. With the demigod relic, he could kill one monster in every attack, even when he encountered imperial-level white gold-rank monsters.

Lin Huang did not get the Evil Dominator to fight even though they encountered imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters a few times. Instead, he summoned the God Figurines' Combat Souls to put it to an end as fast as they could.

Meanwhile, Lancelot and Killer had been practicing their skills with imperial-level yellow gold-rank monsters earlier. To boost their killing efficiency, both of them were only attacking imperial-level crimson gold-rank monsters now.

Bai and the rest had been practicing killing monsters which ranks were higher. Instead of fighting imperial-level crimson gold-rank monsters, they were fighting imperial-level black gold-rank monsters now. They had a unique bloodline in their body, so fighting monsters of the same combat strength was child's play to them.

The Warlord's mechanical army, on the other hand, did not challenge themselves by killing monsters of a higher rank. Just like Bai and the rest, they were only killing monsters of the same rank, causing them to have terrifying efficiency.

After all, they had many opportunities to practice, but such an opportunity to kill was rare.

Among all of the teams, Kylie's team was the only one that had the same responsibility. All they did was clear the triple mutated monsters with dark attributes. Her Nephilic Judge army would have Nephilic Judges evolving into triple mutated Nephilic Angels everyday. She was closer to evolving to become quadruple mutated.

The monster army that given their all experienced a few folds' boost in their killing speed.

After clearing region No. 8, Lin Huang and his army took a day and a half to clear the areas the two union organizations had left for them. They then headed straight to region No. 9.

Before arriving at region No. 9, Lin Huang had heard from Bloody that the Union Government was not the only one that had carried out the retreat strategy. The underground organizations had also decided to vacate the remaining few joint regions as well.

After all, the remaining high management had a similar combat strength with the 13 powerhouses that Lin Huang had killed earlier. Furthermore, the high management's ability was even slightly weaker than the 13 of them. Instead of coming after Lin Huang for revenge, they were worried that he would come after them.

Lin Huang thought that it was a waste for the underground organizations retreated at their own will. After all, the effort to kill the underground organization members was minor. Moreover, the killing could boost the number of Bloody's puppet army and he could obtain more Sword Dao inheritance when he encountered sword cultivators occasionally. However, Lin Huang expected such a decision to come from the underground organizations.

It only took Lin Huang and his army three days to clear region No. 9 as well as the three joint areas around it. They then headed to region No. 10…

It was the 31st day since Lin Huang returned to the Fallen God Land which was the 81st day since the opening of the Fallen God Land.

When Lin Huang's summoning beast army was almost done clearing region No. 10, the very last Nephilic Judge in Kylie's Nephilic Judge army finally completed the triple mutation and elevated to Nephilic Angel.

As soon as the 368-strong imperial-level black gold-rank Nephilic Angel army was formed, they vanished from where they were together with Kylie.

Lin Huang could sense that Kylie had returned to her mini world.

He could not go into the mini world without Kylie's invitation, so all he could do was wait for Kylie's evolution to be completed patiently.

The summoning beast army did not stop fighting just because of Kylie's departure. They proceeded to fight and their killing efficiency was barely affected.

After spending three days to clear region No. 10 and the areas around it, Lin Huang headed straight to region No. 11 and region No. 12 with his Monster Cards.

This time, Kylie's evolution went on for seven days. She had just completed the evolution when Lin Huang and the rest began their killing spree in region No. 12.

Just when Lin Huang sensed the change of the card in his body, Kylie walked out of her mini world.

There was a thin golden mask covering her face. It hid her entire face and her white pupils were the only thing showing. Her purplish-gold fauld covered her from her upper body all the way down while the metal fauld on her lower body covered her knees, but the black hemline extended all the way to her ankles. It seemed like even the hemline came with defensive power.

The 36 pairs of black wings on her back were releasing a terrifying aura. They were clearly weapons to attack.

Another thing that had gone through changes would be the spear in her hand. It looked much lighter than before and was only approximately two meters long. It was dark purple in color with sigils all over it. There were faint purplish-gold lightning bolts sparkling around it.

Lin Huang could not figure out Kylie's aura. He could not even determine exactly what her combat strength was.

The 368 Nephilic Angels behind her had a change in terms of looks too.

They were initially Nephilic Angels in silver armor, and now their armor was black. They looked similar to Kylie's previous appearance and their aura was different from before.

Kylie let Lin Huang take a good look at them before speaking. Her voice came through her mask. "Initially, I wanted to get my Nephilic Angel army to stay so that they could fight for you when I went into deep sleep. But they've become part of me now and they can't be separated from me…"

"Don't worry about it. I should elevate to imperial-level soon. By then, the summoning authority for mythical-level monster will be activated automatically," Lin Huang assured, "I'm worried about you. You've been working hard these days. It's advisable to rest."

Kylie nodded and said nothing else.

The 368 Nephilic Angels behind her turned into black rays and penetrated into Kylie's body one after another. Kylie's body disintegrated automatically and turned into an orange card that lay on Lin Huang's palm.

"Monster Card

"Rarity: Mythical

"Monster Name: Darkness Judge Master (Lightning Attribute)

"Type of Monster: God's Blood (Pure Blood)/ Nephilic Judge Tribe)

"Nickname: Judge

"Combat Level: Imperial-level Black Gold-rank / Virtual God (Immature)

"Major: Spear Dao, Lightning Element

"Major Skills: Spearheart, Absolute Judgement, Darkness Purification, Cursed Lightning, Godslayer Army, Holy Power…

"Minor Skills: Seraphic Wings, Seraphic Speed, Elemental Transformation…

"Summon Authority: Denied (to be activated when you reach imperial-level)

"Card Remarks: You finally have a Monster Card that you can show off."

Ignoring Xiao Hei's card remark, Lin Huang stared at Kylie's skill slot for a long time.

Due to the insane amount of monster crystal cores they had obtained in the foggy world, Lin Huang got Bai and the rest to absorb the crystal cores respectively, increasing their skill slots. At the moment, Kylie had more than 300 skills in her skill slots. Lin Huang was dizzy just looking at them. He just scanned through them and gave up the thought of looking at the detailed information of each skill.

He then noticed the change in Kylie's nickname and monster type, so he could not help but asked, "Xiao Hei, didn't Kylie awaken the Dark Angel's bloodline before? Why is she a God's Blood now? And what's with the Nephilic Judge Tribe at the back?"

"It's not I who decided to make her a God's Blood. There are some changes in her bloodline, so I'm not sure what the exact reason is. Usually, there wouldn't be such a change in bloodline for elevation. Perhaps, something unusual happened during the course of elevation.

"About the tribe at the back, it refers to a race that has successfully created a tribe in the universe. Kylie's type shows that such a circumstance explains that her bloodline came from a formidable species. Only a Pure Blood would have their tribe on the card. The reason being that in the universe, only Pure Bloods would be approved by their respective tribes."

After studying it for a while, Lin Huang recalled Kylie's card while feeling elated.

He finally had his very first mythical-level Monster Card!

Chapter 898: The Closing of the Ruins

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang was elated with Kylie's elevation, but the inadequate summoning authority intensified his pressure.

If he did not elevate to imperial-level soon, the elevation of Bai and the rest would make him be stuck in a pickle whereby he would not be able to summon his imperial beasts. Therefore, he could only pause Bai and the rest's elevation for the time being.

Meanwhile, triple mutated legendary-level monsters would lose their upper hand when they reached imperial-level. If not for their powerful bloodline, Bai and the rest could not fight monsters that were a rank higher at all. Elevating them to quadruple mutated mythical-level monsters was mandatory and urgent.

'I must collect more God Figurines as soon as I can when we get out of here,' Lin Huang decided secretly.

His summoning beast army proceeded with the hunt since Kylie had elevated.

They had only cleared region No. 12 and the two hunting areas around it an hour before the Fallen God Land closed.

After recalling all of his Monster Cards, Lin Huang counted the rewards that he had obtained throughout the three months.

There were two God Figurines, one true god relic, six god relics, close to 400 demigod relics, three true god inheritances, 14 virtual god inheritances, 11 true god methods, over 1,300 sword skills, close to five million monster crystal cores, and close to 200 immortal-level rank-9 and imperial-level Emperor's Heart Rings.

Apart from the material rewards, the cultivation of Lin Huang's Twisted Fate Scripture had reached rotation No. 6. Among the four God Figurines' Combat Souls, three of them were already on imperial-level yellow gold-rank while another was not far from there. His summoning beast army had elevated to imperial-level black gold-rank.

Kylie had successfully elevated to mythical-level.

Lancelot, on the other hand, had elevated to pseudo-mythical-level while all of his 18 sword servants were now on triple mutated imperial-level black gold-rank.

The Evil Dominator had the largest improvement whereby he had three imperial-level purple gold-rank substitutes and seven imperial-level white gold-rank substitutes.

Bloody's imperial-level army experienced a boost on a bigger scale. It had 46 imperial-level yellow gold-rank puppets, over 200 imperial-level crimson gold-rank, and over 500 imperial-level black gold-rank puppets. This army could easily kill imperial-level white gold-ranks and even fight imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses head-on.

It seemed like Lin Huang's combat strength had only gone up by one rank, but in reality, his overall ability had advanced more than that.

Time was ticking.

What Lin Huang had no idea about was that the union organization and underground organizations finally felt relieved the last few minutes before the Fallen God Land was closed. For the past ten days or so, they had been worried that the mystery organization which had killed Huang Tianqi and gang would come after them.

In reality, the union organization used some spying techniques to find out what the mystery organization was after. However, Bloody found out about all their nosing about and put them to an end. Since the efforts were to no avail, the union organization eventually decided to give up with the concern that what they were doing might trigger the mystery organization, causing an unnecessary fight.

On the other hand, the underground organization was behaving like a coward from the beginning until the end. They dared not even investigate the matter because they were afraid that the mystery organization might come after them. After all, the single fight earlier had annihilated half of their high combat strength powerhouses. If another battle broke out, all of their high combat strength powerhouses might be killed.

Initially, they thought it was the union organization that came together to do this and they condemned their sinister act secretly. Later on, they found out that the union organization had vacated many areas at their own will while their members with high combat strength had gathered in the central region. They seemed to be ready for a war to break out with someone else. It was then that they only realized the union organization was not the culprit.

On 1st February at 9 a.m. sharp, a white light sphere appeared above the central region of the Fallen God Land like a sun illuminating the entire ruins.

Just when the people noticed the unusual phenomenon happening in the sky, the white light sphere intensified, and all they could see was an intense white before their eyes.

When Lin Huang got his vision back, he realized he was at the entrance of the Fallen God Land.

The black crack that looked like a Virtual Eye was still there in the sky, and it was exuding a terrifying aura like a giant beast that was ready to devour the world.

Lin Huang was almost sure that anyone who insisted on entering the entrance when the Fallen God Land was shut would be torn apart into pieces by the energy of the crack

He then shifted his focus from the sky to his surroundings. There were people everywhere. Clearly, they were the participants who had survived the ruins.

However, Lin Huang noticed there were only around 3,000 people, which was less than half of the 8,000 people who had entered the Fallen God Land before.

The high management of the Union Government, the Hunter Association, Dynasty, and the rest were waiting not far away.

Most of them had an aghast expression on their faces as they gaped at the members who had survived.

The demigod branch leader of Division 3, who was the Third Prince of Dynasty's face was pale when he saw the remaining members from Dynasty. He shouted at the few imperial-level Dynasty members from far away, "Where is Huang Tianqi?! Where are the Seventh Prince and the immortal-level team?!"

The remaining imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses from Dynasty shrunk as one of them informed Third Prince about what happened through voice transmission.

Not only did the Third Prince lose his calm after hearing that, but he was also even more furious now.

"All of you are useless! You don't even dare to investigate who killed Huang Tianqi and the rest. Furthermore, you only heard the news of the Seventh Prince and the immortal-level team being killed by a local organization from someone else. Why are all of you even here?!"

Another person who was just as enraged as the Third Price was the demigod leader of Division 3 Charm, Yue Ji. However, she did not reveal her rage on the spot as the Third Prince did.

She said nothing after asking about what had happened to Yu Hong and the immortal-level team while looking livid. The intent to kill vibrated from her body.

The happiest ones were the few union organizations including the Union Government and the Hunter Association.

The had lost less than 20% of their members and all of their imperial-level purple gold-rank and imperial-level white gold-rank powerhouses had survived. Only less than five of their imperial-level black gold-rank to yellow gold-rank members did not make it this time.

Lin Huang glanced through the crowd quickly and soon saw the short, young man Tong Lin who had spoken to him before they entered the Fallen God Land. His combat strength had elevated from immortal-level rank-6 to immortal-level rank-7.

"What? This fella's still alive?" Lin Huang was rather surprised because Tong Lin had ordinary abilities and was not even considered a genius. He must have immense luck to be able to survive.

As he looked away from Tong Lin, Lin Huang soon saw Huangfu Lin of the Sweep Alliance. Her combat strength was already on immortal-level rank-9, and her aura had been even more powerful than Shen Tao's before entering the Fallen God Land.

This lady's ability was much more powerful than Lin Huang had estimated earlier.

Lin Huang looked away again and soon noticed Tan Lang and the rest.

The nine of them were still alive. Tan Lang and Shen Tao had advanced to imperial-level black gold-rank. Although the rest did not improve in terms of combat strength, the intensity of their aura was now higher.

Recalling what Gong Sun had said before, Lin Huang fixed his eyes on Li Jia. However, he suddenly turned to look at him at that precise moment.

Li Jia smiled at him as their eyes met. He then turned to speak to Tan Lang and the rest, pointing in Lin Huang's direction.

Tan Lang and the rest looked over immediately as elation filled their faces the moment they saw Lin Huang.

Lin Huang smiled at them and nodded. He then walked towards them through the crowd.

"I knew you had to still be alive!" Shen Tao smirked.

"You're always on your own. You didn't even contact us after getting out of the foggy world," Tan Lang grinned while speaking.

"It wasn't that I didn't want to contact you guys, but the communication device's broken, so I can't use it." Lin Huang came up with an excuse. In reality, it was he who had broken the communication device.

Naturally, Tan Lang and the rest noticed that his combat strength had elevated to immortal-level rank-4, but they did not find it odd. After all, he had already achieved immortal-level rank-3 three months ago.

After chatting with each other, Tan Lang began to get down to business.

"Initially, I didn't have high hopes of elevating to imperial-level this time because the Life Base that I want is very rare. Never would I have thought I would find it in the Fallen God Land and could advance to imperial-level with Shen Tao.

"I'm sure every one of you knows the Genius Union's rule. Members will be removed from the list as soon as they elevate to imperial-level and will no longer be eligible to be in the Genius Union. In other words, both of us are no longer Heaven Alliance members.

"However, I want to say that we're always Heaven Alliance members. Whether our combat strength elevated to imperial-level, demigod-level or virtual god-level, the Heaven Alliance will always be the family that we fought for.

"If anyone of you encounters any troubles at all, please contact me, Tan Lang. If you ever need my help. I'll do everything I can to help. Everybody has each other's number, so please keep in touch!"

"Me too. I'll definitely help as long as I can!" Shen Tao said while pounding his chest.

Chapter 899: Returning to Division 7

It was the 2nd of February at foothold No. 3A5, Wanbao City.

As the sky was getting dark, a man whose body was shrouded in a black robe and hoodie walked into the Wanbao Auction.

Ignoring the crowded stalls in the auction and the people walking in and out, the man walked straight to the lady in uniform who was in charge of customer service.

"Hi, Sir. May I know if I can help you with anything?"

"I have a business opportunity that I would like to speak about with your boss." The man whipped out a golden card that was half the size of a palm and showed it to the lady.

The female attendant recognized it as a VIP membership card right away. She nodded immediately. "Sure, Sir, our boss is here today. Please give me a moment and I'll get the manager to bring you to the boss's office."

"There's no need for the trouble as long as he's here. I know how to get to his office." The man breezed straight to the office area.

She dared not stop him. She allowed Lin Huang to go in, but she informed the manager immediately.

The man opened the door and went straight into the office when he arrived at the entrance.

The man with a ponytail, who was playing games on the Heart Network, looked up all of a sudden. He was stunned by the appearance of the man in the black robe. The moment the man removed the hood, Tang Xu could not help but exclaim out loud, "Sir?!"

"Seems like you still remember me." The man smirked but his smile gave one goosebumps.

Tang Xu could not help but shiver. Just when he was going to say something, a manager arrived at the entrance, clearly having sprinted over and gazed at the black-robed man as he looked concernedly into the office.

"Boss, this guest…"

"I know. You may leave now," Tang Xu dismissed lightly.

After getting rid of the manager, Tang Xu stood up and studied the man before him in excitement. "Sir, are you selling something or purchasing resources this time?"

"I have a batch of some rather valuable items but I'm not sure if your auction will accept them or not." The man plopped onto the couch comfortably.

Tang Xu poured him a cup of tea immediately. "Please do tell me more, Sir."

"Ten demigod relics…" The man took a sip of the tea and proceeded to continue slowly, "Two god relics."

"Two god relics?" Tang Xu was completely dumbstruck.

There had only been three god relics that appeared in the entire Division 3 throughout the past hundreds of years. However, the man before him had announced that he had two god relics as soon as he arrived. It would be odd if nobody felt indifferent hearing that.

"Would you accept them? If not, I can always look for someone else." The man in the black robe caressed the surface of the teacup softly with his fingers while he set his eyes on Tang Xu like he was looking at a harmless little creature.

"We'll accept them! You have my word, Sir," Tang Xu assured immediately. No god relic had appeared even in Division 1 for more than 30 years. If he accepted those, his Wanbao Auction would definitely shoot to instant fame.

"Sure, tell me about your requirements."

The black-robed man nodded in satisfaction. "Two god relics. I won't sell them for Life Crystals. I'll only trade them for items. Also, the buy-in of each relic must be two God Figurines. The proceeding bids after that do not necessarily have to be God Figurines."

"Must the starting bid be God Figurines? Can't they bid with other items of the same value?" Tang Xu asked immediately. He found out about a God Figurine's real value after Lin Huang's lucky bid last time.

"No, it must be a God Figurine." The black-robed man's tone was determined.

"Alright then…" Tang Xu could only accept the strict condition. It was the seller's request after all and he was just the middle-man. "Can I take a look at the two god relics?"

"Sure." The man agreed and nodded right away. He then took out the two god relics which were a sword and a spear.

Tang Xu fell into a trance immediately. He could not take his eyes off the items, and only snapped back to his senses unwillingly after a long time.

"Shall we talk about the details now?" The black-robed man looked at Tang Xu while smirking.

Lin Huang had not slept for three days at the Magical Sky City's Central Library.

He had been 'staying' there ever since the Union Government sent him back to Magical Sky City. The Central Library was open for 24 hours all year long.

Apart from less than half an hour's rest in between, Lin Huang spent almost all the 72 hours throughout the library.

After all, he was only given a three-day pass with level-one reading authorization from the Union Government.

Lin Huang initially planned to bring Bloody there in order to memorize all of the useful information he could access with a level-one reading authorization using its Supreme Intelligence.

However, later, he found out that the Central Library only allowed access to humans while imperial monsters and pet monsters were prohibited. There was even a ban set for demigods whereby they were killed if they sensed a monster's aura right away. It was a sure death even if the monster that came in was on imperial-level purple-gold rank.

After learning about such a rule, Lin Huang had to give up the idea of bringing Bloody in and took the mission up himself.

For the past three days, he had used three Provisional Transformation Cards to borrow Bloody's Super Intelligence for the highest efficiency in the absorption of information.

He got the idea of using Provisional Transformation Cards in such a brilliant way from Xiao Hei.

With the help of Super Intelligence, Lin Huang obtained the memorization and analytical abilities which were on par with Bloody's. After spending some time to filter through the data, he spent the next three days memorizing over 30,000 bits of knowledge accessible with level-one reading authorization.

During the half an hour of 'rest' in between, he used his Cloning Card and Disguise Card to create the demigod-level powerhouse just like before. He used them to head to Wanbao City to auction the two god relics, which were a spear and a sword, off.

The condition of trading the god relics was very simple. They could only be traded with God Figurines. Moreover, the starting bid for a god relic had to be two God Figurines.

Although Lin Huang mentioned the acquisition of information about God Figurines, nobody suspected him.

One of the reasons was that he had the alibi of being at the Central Library when his clone appeared in the Wanbao Auction.

The other reason was that demigods had acquired God Figurines in the past before in order to remodel their Combat Souls. The demigod Lin Huang disguised as was not the first demigod to make such an odd request.

Even if the people from the Wanbao Auction found out that the man in the black robe had a 'master-disciple' relationship with Lin Huang, they would think that it was the black-robed man who wanted the God Figurine while Lin Huang had nothing to do with it. They would not think that the god and demigod relics the black-robed man possessed had anything to do with Lin Huang. After all, relics of such a level were unattainable for an immortal-level powerhouse like Lin Huang.

Naturally, the appearance of two god relics at the same time created a stir in the entire Division 3.

Even many demigods in Division 1 and Division 2 were shocked. Such a level of treasure was extremely rare. Even Division 1 had less than ten god relics that showed up throughout the past 800 years; that number was naturally fewer in Divisions 2 and 3.

Apart from the two god relics that Lin Huang handed over this time, Division 3 only seen three god relics in the past hundreds of years.

Lin Huang gave the Wanbao Auction the full authority to auction the god relics off while he freed his hands from the responsibility.

The Wanbao Auction set the official auction date as soon as they released the news of the god relics being available. It would take place on the 8th of March after the New Year.

On the 4th of February at 10 a.m., Lin Huang's level-1 reading authorization expired. He then walked out of the library and headed to the long-distance dimensional portal to travel to a different division.

Although it was an exclusive passage for transcendence-levels, many of them were heading home to celebrate the New Year. Lin Huang, who had booked his ticket over three months ago, queued until past 2 p.m. and finally walked into the dimensional portal with 29 other people.

His vision recovered after a moment of being in a daze and realized that he was in the White Capital of Division 7 now.

It was snowing heavily in Winter City.

Although it was cold, there were lights and decorations everywhere on the streets since it was close to the New Year. They were people walking in and out of the crowded commercial district.

Two little girls trudged in the snow while holding hands in a villa area close to the commercial district in the east of the foothold. Both of them were dressed in the same jacket but in different colors. One was white while the other was black.

"Little Witch, do you think Brother will like the presents that we picked out?" Lin Xin who wore the white jacket asked in excitement.

The Witch who wore the black jacket had soft hair sweeping her shoulders. She replied softly while flushing, "Master will definitely like the present Young Master picked out."

"Then, let's go home right away. Maybe Brother's already at home waiting for us." Lin Xin nodded while wearing a smile and pulling the Witch along to hasten their footsteps.

The two girls slowed down as they reached a three-story villa. They entered the house after scanning their fingerprints at the door.

The villa remained the same as it was when they had headed out in the morning.

Looking at the furnace devoid of fire, Lin Xin seemed rather disappointed.

She changed her shoes at the entrance, removed her jacket and hung it on the rack. Then, she walked to the furnace and tossed a red crystal in. A crimson spark lit up in the furnace while circles of heatwaves were released at the same time. The chill in the house disappeared immediately.

"The house's much warmer." Having changed into slippers, the Witch sat on the floor in front of the furnace. She extended her hands to the furnace for warmth.

Lin Xin stood by the furnace, her eyes reflecting the red sparks dazzling in the furnace. She stared emptily for a while before asking softly, "Little Witch, it'll be the New Year in four days. Do you think that Brother isn't coming back?"

The Witch went silent for a while and tugged Lin Xin to sit down. "Since Master has promised you that he'll come back, he'll definitely be back as he agreed as long as he doesn't encounter any unusual circumstances."

"He said he would go into the ruins for three months, but it's been a few days since three months have passed." Lin Xin was rather worried. "Could he be in some kind of trouble?"

"Given Master's current abilities, he shouldn't get himself into any trouble as long as he doesn't encounter some extraordinarily powerful imperial-level powerhouse. After all, since my combat strength has elevated to imperial-level, Master's other imperial monsters should be the same too. Moreover, there are a few imperial monsters that are more powerful than me over there. It would be a relief if he doesn't create trouble for himself," the Witch explained with a smile, "Master said three months, but maybe it isn't exactly three months."

Noticing that Lin Xin was still upset, the Witch stood up and changed the subject. "We've bought all the goods for the New Year, so let's decorate the house today. Master will definitely feel the New Year spirit when he comes back."

Lin Xin finally felt her spirits lifted after hearing that. "That's right. We must shower Brother with the New Year spirit."

"Little Witch, let's start working! We'll start with cleaning!" The young lady who was exuberant and full of energy was back.

Walking out of the long-distance dimensional portal in the White Capital, Lin Huang knew that Lin Xin was not staying in the Martial Hunter College because the Witch must be with her and he did not sense the Witch's aura in the White Capital.

However, Lin Huang did not summon the dimensional portal to leave the White Capital right away. Instead, he headed straight to the largest shopping district in the White Capital.

He had to bring some presents back for his sister before heading home.

Unsure what combat strength Lin Xin was on now, he ended up buying two sets of equipment — one on silver-level while the other was on gold-level.

The two sets of equipment included the latest battle armor. Apart from that, Lin Huang picked two top-quality battle swords as well as two modified weapon firearms for Lin Xin. He got the staff to wrap them up as gifts and put them away in his storage space.

He then bought the Witch a puppet and got it wrapped too.

The puppet was an ancient relic similar to the doll that Grimace wanted. However, a doll was a battle-type of relic while a puppet was more for controlling the battlefield. Its battle ability was much weaker when it came to fighting enemies head-on.

After buying those gifts, Lin Huang summoned a dimensional portal and stepped into it.

The Witch, who was hanging lanterns with Lin Xin, shivered all of a sudden. She stopped what she was doing the second she sensed Lin Huang's return.

"What's wrong, Little Witch?" Lin Xin noticed the weird reaction from the Witch.

"Master's back! I can sense it."

"Brother?" Lin Xin's eyes flew wide open and she turned to look at the door.

Right at that moment, the door opened while a silhouette walked in. Seeing the person's face, Lin Xin bolted right into the person's embrace instantly.

"Brother!"

Lin Huang hugged Lin Xin while patting her head. She only let go of him after a long while her eyes had become a little red.

"You've grown taller quite a fair bit, silly girl! Let me take a good look at you!" Lin Huang put both his hands on her shoulders and took a long look at her while beaming. "Wow, you're getting prettier! You're a beauty now."

"Nah… Really?" Lin Xin was flushing. Although she denied it softly, she was secretly over the moon.

While he was complimenting her, Lin Huang was secretly shocked as he could clearly sense that Lin Xin's combat strength had elevated to complete-stage gold-level rank-3. It seemed like she would break through to holy fire-level anytime now.

Lin Huang was slightly upset that the present he had picked out for her was useless since she could use relics now.

'Seems like I need to buy her something else,' Lin Huang thought to himself.

At that moment, the Witch walked towards him while feeling bashful and greeted him softly, "Master."

"Little Witch, you don't seem to have changed at all." Lin Huang nodded at the Witch while smiling, but he thought what he said was not right as soon the words came out of his mouth. He added immediately, "You're still as cute as always."

The Witch blushed when she heard that. She dared not look at Lin Huang and gazed down at her toes nervously.

After closing the door, Lin Huang looked up at the decorations around the house. It was almost done now. "Not bad. The New Year spirit's here."

The two ladies were overjoyed to hear that because that was what they had hoped for.

Lin Huang summoned Bloody and Bai to finish up the decorating in the house after changing into his slippers and taking his jacket off.

The reason why he did not summon Tyrant and the rest was mainly that they were not suitable for doing such a fine and meticulous task. He might end up with collapsed walls if he got them to paste some decorations. He did not want the simple job of decorating the house to end up in tearing the house down.

The speed of the task was boosted immensely when Lin Huang and the other two monsters joined them. In less than half an hour, they had hung all of the lanterns and decorations while the ceiling looked like a sky full of stars with the dazzling crystals.

Lin Huang indulged in the New Year atmosphere as he looked at the decorations. However, he could not help but slip into his memory of the New Year back on Earth. Although there were some differences here and there, the overall ambiance was similar.

'It's my third New Year in this world now…' Lin Huang could not help but sigh in his heart.

Chapter 901: Before the New Year

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first day he returned to Division 7, Lin Huang did not get himself take-out for dinner.

Seeing that the fridge was filled to the brim with ingredients Lin Xin and the Witch had bought, he prepared dinner with whatever was available.

During dinner, Lin Huang summoned Lancelot, Tyrant and the rest, using up all the 15 quotas he had.

Observing what Lin Huang had done, Lin Xie summoned Little 7 as well.

The Seventails' combat strength was already on crimson flame-level. It shivered, sensing the aura of the imperial-levels. However, as soon as it noticed that they were not enemies, combined with the friendliness of Bai and the rest, they soon got along well with each other.

Lin Xie glanced around and noticed that the one she was most familiar with, Kylie, was not there. She immediately asked, "Brother, where's Sister Kylie?"

To be exact, there were no gender differences in angels. Despite the fact that Kylie was no longer an angel, Lin Huang was unsure whether she was a female.

However, the way Kylie previously presented herself was actually in the form of a female. She was also one of the few "female" imperial monsters that had made contact with Lin Xin. This was the reason why Lin Xin had asked about her.

"Kylie leveled up earlier and she has now fallen into a deep sleep. I can't summon her at the moment," Lin Huang explained.

"I'm glad she's fine. I thought…" Lin Xin did not continue what she initially wanted to say.

"Don't worry. My imperial monster won't be killed so easily," Lin Huang answered with a smile, shaking his head. Of course, he knew what Lin Xin wanted to say.

After dinner, the sky turned dark. To avoid getting into unnecessary trouble, Lin Huang allowed the imperial monsters to stay indoors.

Bai was sitting by the window, watching the falling snow while enjoying a glass of orange-colored beverage.

Charcoal's body had shrunk and it was sleeping right in front of the fireplace. Tyrant was sitting next to it, munching on its dried meat. Bloody Robe sat on the other side of the fireplace, curiously sizing up the flames in the fireplace.

Lancelot munched on its dried vegetables while watching the projected television in front of the tea table. Two of its close friends, the Evil Dominator and Killer sat on its right and left.

Bloody and Ghastly were playing chess. Ghastly had lost a few games was evidently unhappy about it.

Lin Xin and the Witch were cleaning the kitchen while the Imp and the Malachian Fiend were trying to help them out.

Thunder's body had reduced in size and it was playing games with Little 7.

The size of the Herculean King and Bing Wang's bodies were compressed to the size of a palm. They were jumping in the room like monkeys. Fortunately, the Witch had set several defensive and robust runes up to avoid the room from being destroyed.

Nobody would have expected there to be so many imperial-level monsters gathering in the small villa.

Lin Huang quietly went back to his room and opened the communication page on his Emperor's Heart Ring. After his finger swiped through the contact list, he dialed a number.

After a short while, the video call was answered. The face of an old man was projected in front of Lin Huang.

"My dear apprentice, are you back in Division 7?"

Mr. Fu was in his boardshorts and a mustard Hawaiian shirt. He was lying on a deck chair while drinking a glass of beverage with a straw. However, the deck chair was placed in a snow-covered land.

"Yes, I just came back today." Lin Huang nodded his head. He asked, "Sir, where are you?"

"I've discovered this Iceland in the Peaceful Ocean a few days ago. I've never seen some of the monsters on this Iceland. That's why I've been staying here over the past few days and I'm about to do some research about them," Mr. Fu said as he shifted the projection lens.

Lin Huang could see that there were some penguin-like monsters on the surface of the ice, but he had no idea what they were doing. Unlike the regular penguins, the limbs of these monsters looked like a gorilla's and they were muscular. Also, they were covered with thick, white fur. Some of them did not only have two arms but four or six limbs.

Lin Huang was speechless to see strange animals like this.

"These monsters are powerful in the water. They are adept at capturing sea creatures," Mr. Fu related with excitement on his face.

Lin Huang roughly knew the reason why he stayed on the island. These monsters were free labor to him, helping him to capture what he needed from the Peaceful Ocean.

After chatting for a while, Mr. Fu then got back to his main point. "Are you on immortal-level now?"

"I'm now an immortal-level rank-4. I'm about to level up to immortal-level rank-5." Lin Huang nodded his head.

"That's pretty fast!" Although he knew that Lin Huang's speed of leveling up was fantastic, Mr. Fu was still surprised by Lin Huang's current combat strength.

Before leaving Division 7, Lin Huang's combat strength was only on crimson gold-rank. His combat strength had leaped seven ranks higher in less than 10 months and he managed to advance a level higher.

"According to your progress, you can level up to imperial-level after half a year. I don't need to worry about it then." Mr. Fu was relieved. He was still concerned about him as he wondered whether if it would be too harsh for Lin Huang to level up to imperial-level in three years. It seemed like Lin Huang could achieve the target in 1.5 years.

"Sir, I have something to tell you." Lin Huang was not thrilled after listening to Mr. Fu's compliment. Instead, he was stressed.

He immediately told Mr. Fu about the crack that had appeared at the Abyss Brink. He knew that he would have heard about this, but he might not know the details.

"I've heard about this, but I never expected it to be so serious." Mr. Fu frowned after listening to what he said. "So, based on your speculation, are you saying that the crack will be completely activated after a year or two?"

"Yes."

"It's much more dangerous than what happened 800 years ago. I've no idea whether if we can survive this." Mr. Fu's cheerfulness was nowhere to be detected now.

"There's something else about the training skills at the old epoch." Lin Huang immediately told Mr. Fu that he had obtained the skills from the Fallen God Land.

"Are you sure that those are the Virtual God or True God skills?" Mr. Fu doubted it.

"I think so. However, there seem to be some restrictions on the Virtual God and True God skills. I'm unable to duplicate them." Lin Huang looked helpless. "I shall visit you after the New Year and show you the jade slip later on."

"It seems like they're skills on the god-level. Only those who've mastered Divine Power are capable of duplicating them." Mr. Fu immediately knew what happened. "You don't need to come over. I'll visit you in two days although I might have to disguise myself then."

"Alright. We can celebrate the New Year together." Lin Huang nodded in agreement.

After hanging up with Mr. Fu, Lin Huang immediately contacted Yang Ling who was also a traveler so that he could unlock hundreds of Emperor's Heart Rings for him.

After dealing with Yang Ling, he then contacted the black market in Division 3 to make an appointment to settle the relics and the rest of the rewards he had obtained after the New Year. Since those items were illegal especially because he obtained them from killing the members from the underworld, he could only sell them at the black market.

Having settled what he needed to, he then opened the Heart Network and began to search for relics that he could buy as a gift for Lin Xin. Unfortunately for him, the presents he had prepared earlier could no longer be used now.

Chapter 902: It's Your Era!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the next few days, Lin Huang only allowed Bai and the rest to stay at his villa for a day as Mr. Fu might come at any time. He then recalled all the monster cards except for Bloody and the Witch.

Since the seventh rotation of the Twisted Fate Scripture was equivalent to the combat strength of an imperial-level, Lin Huang did not want to mess up the training system in his body. This was why he stopped training this skill and remained at the sixth rotation.

He was trying to digest the sword skills that he had obtained over the past few days.

He then discovered that for all the sword skills, as long as he had seen them once, he did not need to train on his own. The little Sword Spirit in his body would have mastered it.

It seemed like the little Sword Spirit in Lin Huang's body would not feel fatigue at all. It practiced all the sword skills Lin Huang inherited repeatedly.

Lin Huang also noticed that he did not need to practice the skill for hundreds of times in order to obtain skill pieces. What he had to do was learn from the little Sword Spirit and the number of skill pieces he obtained would increase rapidly.

With his current Sword Dao's comprehension ability, it would take him at least two to three days to accumulate a sufficient number of skill pieces to obtain a complete Skill Card for a legendary-level sword skill. However, he managed to obtain a legendary-level sword skill card within an hour.

In just two days, Lin Huang managed to obtain 35 complete legendary-level sword skill cards. It was fantastically efficient.

Lin Huang initially intended to digest these sword skills with the Epiphany Card after the New Year. However, it seemed like he did not need to use the Epiphany Card at all. He just had to please the little Sword Spirit.

After having mastered more than 220 legendary-level sword skills, Lin Huang could clearly feel that his level-5 Sword Dao had already reached its peak. It was approaching complete-stage. Perhaps, in just a short while, there would be a breakthrough in his Sword Dao. He would achieve level-6 real soon, which was Deity.

Lin Huang then focused on his sword skill training and completely forgot that Mr. Fu would come at any time.

On New Year's Eve, which was the seventh of February, the doorbell of the villa rang early in the morning.

Lin Huang was in his training room whereas Lin Xin was playing Gunmaster. The Witch was the only one on the living area of the first floor.

The Witch was startled when she heard the ringing of the doorbell. Still, she opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The Witch was alert as it was a stranger that she had never seen before.

Seeing the Witch, the young man, who wore a baseball cap, frowned. He then said, "I'm looking for Lin Huang. I told him a few days ago that I'm coming over before the New Year."

Although she was doubtful, since he knew her master's name and said that he had told him about this, she allowed him to enter.

"Please wait for a while. I'll let my Master know." As the guest entered the living room, she served him some water. After that, she went upstairs and knocked on Lin Huang's door.

Lin Huang immediately exited his state of training. After listening to what the Witch reported, he knew who had come.

However, when he saw a young man holding a teacup and sizing up the surroundings, he was startled.

He looked like he was 20 and he was about 1.85 meters tall. With such towering height, he was completely different from Mr. Fu. However, Lin Huang soon noticed that he looked somewhat similar to Mr. Fu.

"My dear apprentice, are you shocked to see me in this disguise?" The young man's voice sounded exactly the same as Mr. Fu's, so Lin Huang could then confirm his identity.

"Sir… To be honest, I'm shocked." Lin Huang smiled, confirming his surprise.

"This is how I looked like when I was 20 years old. Am I handsome?" Mr. Fu's voice sounded young and he was evidently proud of himself.

"Hey, you are quite handsome." Lin Huang could only agree with him, nodding his head. However, he thought to himself, 'Are you sure that you were 1.85 meters tall when you were 20 years old? That'll be two centimeters taller than me.'

"Are you wondering if that's really my height?" Mr. Fu seemed to know what Lin Huang was thinking.

"No." Lin Huang immediately shook his head in denial.

"Let me tell you, I really was 1.85 meters tall last time," Mr. Fu explained in a very serious manner, "I was cursed in the battle that happened 800 years ago. I suffered from bone structure deterioration and soon, I became the little old man that I look like today."

"Did you become short because of a curse?" Of course, Lin Huang did not believe what Mr. Fu said. It puzzled him. Still, he nodded at Mr. Fu and said, "Yes, I believe you."

Mr. Fu could see that Lin Huang was just trying to put him off. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Liu Ming about it. He knows."

"Don't annoy Senior Liu Ming. I trust you," Lin Huang answered with a serious expression.

Staring at Lin Huang for a short while, Mr. Fu knew that no matter what explanation he came up with, he would not trust him. He shook his head unhappily and gave up explaining to Lin Huang.

"Let's get back to the point. Show me the jade slips that you mentioned earlier."

Lin Huang then took out two Virtual God-level jade slips, passing them to Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu then took the jade slips and inserted Divine Telekinesis into them. After a short while, he roughly went through the two techniques and there was a strange expression on his face.

"Is there a problem with the two skills?" Lin Huang immediately asked.

"There isn't any problem with the skills and they're indeed Virtual God-level skills which can be used until one reaches Virtual God-level." Mr. Fu shook his head and soon, he continued, "However, the Twisted Fate Scripture is much more difficult compared to the two skills. An ordinary immortal-level will be able to practice those skills. Moreover, as long as one's body is compatible with the skills, the probability of a talented and potential individual to become a Virtual God is pretty high."

"Does it mean that the God-level skills we gained from this place will allow many of us to achieve God-level?!" Lin Hung had been worried about this previously.

"Yes, it is." Mr. Fu frowned.

Both of them remained silent.

One of the reasons was that the world needed those who were on God-level to face the upcoming adversities. However, once these skills got about, Mr. Fu would not be the only one who was on God-level in this world.

"The skills…" Lin Huang had no idea whether the skills should be sealed or be made public.

Mr. Fu seemed gloomy. He then took a deep breath, passing the two jade slips to Lin Huang. "Sell them to the Union Government or the people from the Hunter Association. The price of these skills must be higher than a god relic. You can exchange them for many training resources."

"But you…"

"I can't live a long life. This world needs more people to be on God-level." Mr. Fu eventually came up with a decision. "It can benefit humans if the skills were promoted."

"My era has already ended 800 years ago. It's your time now." Mr. Fu then turned back to Lin Huang as he said this. "I know that there'll be tonnes of them that can surpass me in this era. However, I hope that you'll be the first to do so!"

Chapter 903: It's Fine to Not Change My Appearance

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

The sun was hanging high up in the sky, releasing warmth and light. It felt like summer and Lin Huang then looked at the surroundings.

Waves washed over the golden sand.

Impressively, there were Mr. Fu's favorite sunlight, beach, and the sea…

"Is this the place?"

Lin Huang found it odd. He was discussing the training techniques in the dreamland with Mr. Fu who then mentioned, "Show me the results you've obtained over the past half year."

Soon after that, he felt dizzy and appeared at this unfamiliar place as he regained his senses.

"This is my Kingdom," Mr. Fu explained, "This so-called Kingdom is actually a territory that's been transformed to a mini world after leveling up to virtual god-level."

Lin Huang was immediately reminded of Kylie's mini world. It might be a Kingdom as well. However, he had no idea why the Kingdom had no King and how Kylie was able to take advantage of it.

Before Lin Huang managed to ask anything further, Mr. Fu suddenly tossed a puppet doll out.

"Fight it. I can test the functionality of the new toy as well."

Of course, Lin Huang could recognize the puppet doll as he had just bought one for Ghastly previously.

However, Mr. Fu's one was obviously a luxurious version of a puppet doll. It looked about 70% human and took on the appearance of a teenage boy with its ancient white robe.

The one which Lin Huang bought for Ghastly was just a basic one. It did not even have human features, let alone an elaborate outfit. It was just a puppet in a human form.

Its price was exceptionally high despite the fact that Lin Huang had only bought a basic one. It was double the price of an ancient telekinetic weapon.

On the other hand, Mr. Fu had bought the luxurious version. Its price must be more than three times of the basic version. However, its functionality was only equivalent to 1.5 times better. Since only the materials for the ancient relic were used, there would be little difference in functionality. As for the price, it would be equal to the price of changing one's appearance.

Lin Huang used to be a pragmatist and he did not see the need to change his appearance.

Although he knew that the ability of the puppet doll would not be weak under Mr. Fu's control, he was still unhappy as he actually looked forward to fighting him.

"Just a heads up, I'm not going to pay for anything if I happen to damage it."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of it," Mr. Fu answered straightaway.

Instantly, Mr. Fu's Life Power transformed into threads and was inserted into the puppet doll. The inert puppet was alive all of a sudden.

Seeing that the puppet was all ready for the battle, Lin Huang dared not underestimate it. He took out an ancient relic that he had not used for a long while – the Air Slicer.

With the combat sword in hand, Lin Huang's aura immediately expanded.

Mr. Fu did not panic. Instead, he waited for Lin Huang's aura to reach its peak before moving his fingers slightly.

Standing on tip-toe on the sandy beach, it rushed towards Lin Huang, creating traces that were barely visible.

Lin Huang was thrilled. He was never afraid of any of his enemies even if he had to fight them face-to-face.

He initially thought that Mr. Fu would mess with him as he mastered the puppet doll, showcasing his controlling skills. He did not expect it to be a frontal attack.

Although Lin Huang was in mid-air and was more than 10 centimeters away from the ground, when he stomped hard, trails were formed on the beach. He sped towards his opponent as well.

In mid-air, the two figures were approaching each other rapidly.

Exhilarated, Lin Huang lifted his sword with his right hand, slashing down on its left ribs. It was an angle where one could hardly defend themselves against an attack.

Under normal circumstances, his opponent either had to dodge his attack or defend against it.

However, the puppet struck a heavy blow right at the back of Lin Huang's sword. As a result, the direction of Lin Huang's sword deviated.

Before Lin Huang could launch another attack, the puppet's right leg transformed into a whip, tearing toward the left side of Lin Huang's waist.

His kidney could explode if he were hit by the attack.

Lin Huang's face turned grave and he changed the direction of his sword and slashed down toward his opponent.

If his opponent did not retract its feet, the blow was powerful enough to chop its feet off.

Seeing what just happened, the puppet pirouetted on its left foot in the air and retreated tens of feet away, managing to dodge the blow.

Its attacks were fired at lighting speed and Lin Huang was unable to take advantage of it.

Mr. Fu seemed to be satisfied. "Your sword skills are close to complete-stage level-5. I guess you'll be able to get to level-6 really soon. That's just a test for your skill. Things will get real now. I hope you'll do your best and show me your true abilities."

"No problem," Lin Huang agreed.

After the trial attack, he could clearly sense that if he did not take it seriously, the puppet might probably pin him down.

"Let's begin the second round then." Before Mr. Fu could finish his words, the puppet appeared again. Its speed was a few times faster than before.

Lin Huang's pupils dilated and he immediately activated his Seraphic Speed and chased it.

Two white figures flickered in mid-air and collided with each other.

Circles of terrifying waves formed in the air as both of them collided with each other and the impact waves spread out.

On the coastline which had a length of more than 100 kilometers, strong waves were stirred. A variety of tropical trees and the rest of the plants that grew along the beach were all uprooted and fell hundreds of kilometers away.

The two figures backed off from the area of the explosion. Soon after that, they blasted off and crashed into each other again.

In mid-air, a terrifying wave was created in the air again…

The sand was stirred up and covered the sky as if the apocalypse was about to happen.

Over and over again, the two figures smashed into each in mid-air. Lin Huang could clearly sense that Mr. Fu was constantly pressuring him.

Although the puppet doll's combat strength stayed on crimson gold-tank, its skills became more precise. There was a subtle increase in its strength and speed.

The battle lasted for more than three hours. In addition to not summoning any combat souls, asking for help from his summoning monsters, and not using any Combat Strength Upgrade Cards, he had used up almost all his skills.

Mr. Fu had upgraded the puppet doll's combat strength to crimson gold-rank, and Lin Huang was slowly being pinned down. After enduring the battle for almost an hour, the puppet doll struck him and he fell into the sea.

Lin Huang burst out of the sea and wanted to continue the fight. However, he saw that Mr. Fu had recalled the puppet doll.

"That's good enough. Your combat strength is currently on immortal-level rank-4. However, your abilities can be compressed to a crimson gold-level's, so you can kill a black gold-rank with ease. Basically, you're capable of protecting yourself."

Mr. Fu was quite satisfied with the results of the test.

Report chapter

Mr. Fu changed the topic suddenly after commenting on Lin Huang's personal abilities.

"The lady Xiao Wu who opened the door earlier… Is she your imperial monster?"

"Yes."

"I see that her combat strength is already on imperial-level black gold-rank. Is she your most powerful imperial monster?" Mr. Fu asked again.

"No, all of my imperial monsters are on imperial-level black gold-rank now," Lin Huang explained with a grin.

"All of them are on imperial-level black gold-rank already? How many are there?" Mr. Fu was stunned to hear the update.

"Over 20 of them." Lin Huang did not hide the fact.

"Why don't you summon all of them within your limit and let me test their abilities?" Mr. Fu guided his puppet doll again. It was clear that his fun from battling Lin Huang earlier was not over yet.

Lin Huang raised a brow and summoned a total of 13 monsters including Bai, Tyrant, Thunder, Bloody Robe, the Malachian Fiend, the Imp, Charcoal, the Herculean King, Bing Wang, the Death Knight, the Fallen Knight, and the two Dark Crescent Snakes at once.

Bloody was coiled up in his sleeve while the Witch was in the living room on the first floor, hence occupying two summoning quotas. That was why he could only summon 13 imperial monsters to fight.

Mr. Fu was clearly stunned when he saw the 13 monsters appearing at the same time. It was his first time seeing Lin Huang summoning all of his imperial monsters within his limit.

"Can you really control so many imperial-level black gold-rank imperial monsters?" Mr. Fu asked with surprise written all over his face.

He clearly sensed that each monster had an aura that was much powerful than the typical triple mutated monster. They clearly had powerful bloodlines.

Although he was not an Imperial Censor himself, he knew that the more powerful the imperial monster was, the more burden it was to the Imperial Censor's soul. Judging from Lin Huang's immortal-level rank-4 combat strength, theoretically, controlling one imperial-level black gold-rank monster should be his limit. However, now it seemed like not only was he controlling more than ten imperial-level black gold-rank monsters, but he also did not show any signs of suffering burden on his soul at all.

"The most I can control are 15 monsters. I can't control more than that," Lin Huang stated.

Mr. Fu looked deeply into Lin Huang's eyes and faintly guessed that his disciple might have some hidden secret. However, he did not dwell upon it.

"Each and every one of them has a notably powerful aura. I wonder how their abilities are like." Mr. Fu glanced through all the 13 imperial monsters. "Fight me at once. We can save time by doing that."

Bai and the rest looked at Lin Huang, seeming to be miffed that they were being underestimated.

"This is my Master. He'd like to see all of your abilities. Fight him together and don't hold back." Lin Huang nodded toward Bai and the rest.

He knew it was pretty impossible for Bai and the rest to win even if they were to fight together. Under Mr. Fu's control, the puppet doll's combat strength could easily rise to imperial-level purple gold-rank which was on par with a supreme genius's abilities.

Bai and the rest had been killing everywhere they ventured recently. It was not a bad thing for them to suffer a setback occasionally. At least, it would encourage them to become more powerful.

Despite their reluctance, Bai and the rest obeyed Lin Huang's order and soon got into their battle mode. They raced towards the puppet doll Mr. Fu was controlling.

Initially, Bai and the rest thought that a puppet doll would not be that powerful even if it was controlled by a formidable person. However, the imperial monsters soon fell into hardship.

The puppet doll Mr. Fu was controlling maintained its combat strength of imperial-level black gold-rank which was the same with Bai and the rest. Its body was like a specter moving among the monsters at ease, reining Charcoal and the rest under its control.

Bai and the rest did not bond at all when they were fighting as a team. Each of them only exerted 50% to 60% of their abilities.

Even Lin Huang frowned as he observed them. He had never gotten his imperial monsters to fight together; the most were two in a group. He would use his army directly when he encountered compelling enemies, but he could tell that they were lacking in that aspect now. The cooperation between one another was horrible. Their overall ability was at least twice as worse compared to the sword formation of Lancelot's 18 sword servants. One must know that their personal abilities could suppress the sword servants.

"Their personal abilities aren't bad, but I could tell that your imperial monsters have never fought together," Mr. Fu commented.

At that moment, Bloody could no longer take it.

Just when Mr. Fu was ready to stop the fight, Bloody spoke to Bai and the rest through voice transmission. Soon, they formed a simple battle formation following Bloody's order, carrying a different imposing manner now.

"A battle formation?" Mr. Fu raised his brow and peeped at Lin Huang's left sleeve.

With his virtual god-level combat strength, he sensed Bloody that was hiding in Lin Huang's sleeve since the beginning. He had also heard Bloody's voice transmission earlier loud and clear. Although he initially planned to stop, his interest was now piqued. He wanted to see what the little fella hiding in Lin Huang's sleeve could do.

"The two combined knights will be the center of the battle formation. The rest will attack following the duo," Bloody instructed their next moves through voice transmission.

The Death Knight, who was already on imperial-level yellow gold-rank, attacked first as soon as the battle formation was formed. He swung the spear in his hand like a dragon. The air would be sliced wherever the spear passed by. The deathly sharp spear tip was like a cannibalistic poisonous snake that was directed at the skull of the puppet doll.

Mr. Fu had elevated the puppet doll's combat strength to imperial-level yellow gold-rank and it did not hold back. It threw a punch at the spear tip. Immediately, there were explosions coming from the punch, and the air in the affected areas was evacuated.

The two collided in the air.

It sounded like millions of thunderbolts exploding at the same time and circles of turbulent air current spread towards all directions like ripples.

The Death Knight only retreated three steps away from this collision while the puppet doll shot out and fell into the sea with a loud splash.

"Interesting!" The collision made Mr. Fu's eyes light up.

As he moved his fingers slightly, the puppet doll came out of the sea immediately and dashed towards the battle formation formed by the imperial monsters.

Under Bloody's instruction, within the entire battle formation, the two merged knights were the center. One was in charge of attacking and the other was in charge of defending.

Bai and the rest bonded more and more whereby Bloody did not really have to instruct them after that and they would know how to work the formation.

Mr. Fu did almost everything he could by controlling the puppet doll, but he failed to break the formation after trying for almost two hours.

Eventually, he helplessly elevated the puppet doll's combat strength to imperial-level white gold-rank and spent over 20 minutes breaking the formation completely.

Bai and the rest were eager to proceed with the fight, but Lin Huang stopped them.

"Not bad. These imperial monsters of yours have very strong learning abilities that are on par with humans." Mr. Fu recalled the puppet doll completely and nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at Lin Huang's left sleeve. "Of course, the most powerful one would be this little thing up your sleeve."

Bloody crawled out of Lin Huang's sleeve following his signal and clung onto his left arm.

"If I'm not mistaken, this little thing should have Supreme Intelligence, shouldn't it?" Mr. Fu figured easily.

"Yes, Bloody's my adviser," Lin Huang acknowledged.

"Isn't it purple?" Mr. Fu looked at Lin Huang in confusion and thought to himself, 'Could this disciple of mine be color blind?'

Lin Huang figured what Mr. Fu was thinking about looking at his expression and explained immediately, "Bloody's body was initially red and its color has changed since its elevation. I've gotten used to calling it that, so I didn't change its name."

"I can change myself to other colors too," Bloody responded and changed itself to crimson.

"Monsters with Supreme Intelligence aren't easily tamed." Mr. Fu could not help but look at Bloody again. A monster that mediated for its master should have been completely tamed.

He had encountered many types of monsters and some of them possessed Supreme Intelligence. However, most monsters with Supreme Intelligence would have superior intellect and it was rather impossible for them to humble themselves to humans.

'Its body looks flimsy. I don't think it has any combat ability. That's why it was tamed easily," Mr. Fu secretly concluded after observing Bloody for a while.

He had no idea that Bloody was definitely one of Lin Huang's most powerful imperial monsters when it came to overall abilities.

Chapter 905: The True Meaning of Martial Dao

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mr. Fu thought to himself for a moment before speaking again after getting a general understanding of Lin Huang and his imperial monsters' abilities.

"Now, I can see that your imperial monsters are fine and their personal abilities are very powerful. Moreover, with Bloody, the power of the battle formation isn't too shabby, but overall, there's still room for improvement.

"I've thought of two directions for now. Firstly would be for Bloody to possess Supreme Intelligence. Get it to learn more often. It's a superb assistant to you. The more powerful it is, the more powerful your imperial monster team will be. You could prioritize its training.

"Also, you could consider adding some equipment for your imperial monsters."

"Although the big guy Tyrant has a super powerful defense, there's nothing wrong with getting it a set of battle armor. Moreover, since he has so much strength, the impact of using large weapons will definitely be better than fighting with his fists. You could get him a hammer, an ax, a mace or a saber. With his current intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to pick up human combat skills.

"Bai also has great ability and powerful battle consciousness. He's suitable for learning many genres of combat skills including the sword, the saber, and the spear. He can create a weapon of many forms, so he must unleash that advantage of his.

"You could change the bone spears in the two knights' hands into demigod relics and get them to acquire more human spear combat skills."

Mr. Fu commented on each and every one of the 13 monsters. He raised a number of questions too, including the changing of equipment and learning combat skills that Lin Huang had thought of before.

Lin Huang nodded continuously as he listened.

After he was done commenting on the imperial monsters, Mr. Fu trained his eyes back on Lin Huang. "Now, you. Your overall ability's already compelling, but the biggest weakest that you currently have would be your low combat strength.

"I only have two suggestions for you. Firstly, elevate yourself to imperial-level as soon as possible under the premise that you won't hurt yourself. Of course, you're actually executing it well. The speed of your combat strength elevation is already terrifying. Just maintain this momentum.

"Secondly, break through to level-6 on Sword Dao as soon as you can. If possible, advance beyond that after you've reached level-6."

"Master, isn't level-6 Sword Dao the final destination? Is there a higher level above that?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.

From the countless documents that he had read, all of them only had recordings of up to level-6 on Martial Dao. Level-6 Deity was the final destination of all Martial Dao.

"Let's talk about Sword Dao. Indeed, the level-6 Deity's final destination." Mr. Fu nodded lightly. "But you can actually break through above level-6."

"Any Martial Dao will experience a transformation once they've broken through level-6. Then, the true meaning of Martial Dao will dawn upon them.

"The true meaning of Martial Dao is a power that contains a rule, one that's comparable with divine skill and elemental rules. Only True Gods can master the rule. Even Virtual Gods can't master it.

"Theoretically, one could say that a person would have the ability to kill gods when one masters the true meaning of Martial Dao.

"If you've mastered the true meaning of Sword Dao, no matter whether you're on immortal- or imperial-level, you'll be able to kill Virtual Gods in theory. You could even harm True Gods!"

Shock was written all over Lin Huang's face, but he understood what Mr. Fu meant. "So, the true meaning of Martial Dao is like a sharp blade that could be used to kill an adult even if it's held by a child."

"Yes, it's like a blade to slay gods," Mr. Fu confirmed and subsequently became upset and apologetic. "But I won't be able to get there even before I die."

"To me, you're the person who is most likely to attain that level on the entire continent at the moment." Mr. Fu was only unsettled for a moment before he lifted his head to look at Lin Huang with anticipation.

"I'll try my best…" Lin Huang had no idea what to say. Although he knew very well that he had great talent, it was not ridiculously excellent. The main reason he could reach this level in Sword Dao was because of his Goldfinger, Xiao Hei.

It was already past two in the afternoon when they came out of Mr. Fu's Kingdom.

Lin Huang thought he would just skip lunch and get back to his room to practice his sword skills.

However, Mr. Fu insisted on cooking. As a Food Hunter, he could not accept someone being hungry.

He looked annoyed as he rifled through Lin Huang's refrigerator. In the end, he did not use any of Lin Huang's ingredients and used all the food he stored in his storage ring.

In less than 20 minutes, a few dishes that seemed to be sparkling were served. Lin Huang was dumbstruck, gawking at the spread.

'The food sparkles? Will I become a god after eating them?'

Soon, the fragrance wafting from the kitchen spread through the rooms. The Witch was drooling as she lingered around the dining table. Even Lin Xin who was playing Gunmaster in the game pod came downstairs following the fragrance.

"What's that? It smells so amazing!"

"Master's cooking. Would you guys want to order anything?" Lin Huang said while smiling.

Lin Xin struggled for a while. It had been less than two hours since she had her lunch. As a lady who was going through puberty, she took her figure very seriously. Apart from main meals, she often watched the snacks that she ate. However, she could not handle the amazing smell that was coming from the kitchen. In the end, she decided to give in to the temptation of delicious food.

Six dishes and a large bowl of soup were served. Every one of them looked exquisite with appealing colors of their own.

Lin Xin snapped pictures of the food immediately.

Even Lin Huang, who usually hated taking pictures before eating, could not help but snap one and shared it with his friends.

It was the best meal Lin Huang and the rest ever had.

On the other hand, Mr. Fu stopped eating after trying a few dishes. He brought a bottle of wine out of his Emperor's Heart Ring while watching Lin Huang and the rest attack the food clumsily.

Lin Xin ate until she was a little bloated before shyly stopping. She secretly got up and returned to her room when Lin Huang was not looking.

In contrast, the Witch did not care about her image as she gorged on the food and moaned with her mouth full, "It's so good…"

After all of the dishes were wiped clean, the Witch initiated taking care of the cleaning task. "I'll do the dishes!"

As she brought the plates to the kitchen, she secretly turned her head to peep at Lin Huang and Mr. Fu. Noticing that they were not looking at her, she stuck her tongue out and was ready to lick the sauce on the plate.

At that moment, Lin Huang's voice came to her ears to warn, "Don't lick the plates!"

The Witch then put the plate down shyly.

In the living room, Mr. Fu, who was sitting on the couch, asked Lin Huang, "It's the New Year tomorrow. Don't you want to summon your imperial monsters out for fresh air?"

"I got them out two days ago, but they were a nuisance and messed up the house," Lin Huang explained while smiling. "I thought since you were coming, I'd better recall them right away."

"It's fine. Let them out. The more, the merrier." Mr. Fu drank a mouthful of wine and announced, "I'll cook a feast tomorrow."

When the Witch, who was doing the dishes in the kitchen, heard the word 'feast', she began to listen attentively.

Seeing that Mr. Fu did not mind, Lin Huang nodded and summoned Bai and the rest.

He could not help but feel excited as he wondered what kind of feast Mr. Fu would prepare tomorrow.

Chapter 906: The Third New Year

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was the New Year on the 8th of February.

Lin Huang, who had been practicing his sword skill for the past few days, decided to rest that day. He headed out with Lin Xin early in the morning.

All of the stores nearby, regardless of whether big or small, were closed due to the festivities. The siblings headed straight to the largest supermarket close by to buy the ingredients that Mr. Fu needed.

Mr. Fu and the bunch of imperial monsters were the only ones left in the three-story villa. He sat by the coffee table watching Bloody and Grimace playing a chess game.

Naturally, the two monsters that possessed Super Intelligence were not playing an ordinary chess game but were playing Chain Strike that was claimed to be the most difficult game by everyone.

Each of them would have 32 chess pieces with different functions of their own. The most difficult part was the space on the chess board and the time given. The chess board was three-dimensional with a total of 27,000 coordinates. In addition to that, achieving certain conditions would unlock various time and space effects.

For instance, there were turning back tome (reviving a disqualified chess piece), time acceleration (giving oneself more turns in the game), freezing time (denying the opponent their turn for a few rounds), teleportation (trade places with any chess piece on the chess board), space jump (moving chess pieces ahead), space crack (forcing all of the chess pieces in a certain area to be out of the game).

Bloody and Grimace had played that for the entire day yesterday and did not even sleep that night. Grimace surrendered for more than 30 rounds, and he loathed losing over and over again.

On the other hand, Bloody was playing at ease while sipping coffee in a relaxed manner while Grimace frowned looking like he bore a deep grudge.

In reality, the duo was evenly-matched in terms of their computing ability. The main reason Bloody was winning all the way was that it would play this game on the Heart Network with others whenever it was free. It even got dragged into a master club and would often play with experts. Hence, it was much better than Grimace in this game since it knew all of the functions and rules of each chess piece.

Grimace was a rookie when it came to this. Although he knew the rules, he was not as skilled as Bloody when it came to using them, let alone Bloody who was an expert at finding the loopholes of man-made rules.

Mr. Fu had fun watching them. He was an expert in this game as well, but his computing ability lagged behind compared to these two extremely intelligent monsters. He kept nodding while watching them play; he was learning so much from watching them.

The Seventails had been clinging onto Thunder. It was not that Little 7 had never encountered any bird monsters ever since it was born, but none had ever played with it. Those monitor birds would fly away whenever they saw it from a distance. As for those Silvertongue Birds that delivered items, they would be so scared that they would fly away instead of waiting for candies. This bird with such a bloodline was the cause of it not having anybody to play with. Naturally, it would not let go of Thunder since it was a rare opportunity that was hard to come by.

Initially, Thunder wanted to ignore the little fellow, but since Lin Huang ordered it to take good care of Little 7, it could only take up the burden. Thunder was tired whenever it thought of having to take care of Little 7 and being its flying mount instead of fighting alongside with other monsters.

Meanwhile, Charcoal slept lying down in front of the furnace. Little 7 was actually a little curious about his extended wings, but it would ignore Little 7 whenever it got closer to it. Instead, Charcoal would pretend to sleep so that it could escape from being assigned babysitter duties.

The Witch was scolding the Imp and the Malachian Fiend in the kitchen. "Can the both of you not mess the kitchen up? You guys have been walking all over the place while I prepare snacks. Look at that! Your footprints are all over the floor now."

"I'll go get the mop." The Imp stood up and walked to the bathroom.

"I'll go too." The Malachian Fiend followed him.

Lancelot was watching the projected television on the couch in the living room while munching on dried vegetables.

Killer, who was sitting beside him, had the intention to battle all over his face. "I've digested another Sword Dao inheritance. Lancelot, let's spar."

"I want to watch TV," Lancelot declined right away without even lifting his head.

"I'll spar with you," Sitting beside him, the Evil Dominator grinned.

"I'm going to make this clear. You're not allowed to use substitutes that are above imperial-level yellow gold-rank." Killer remembered that the Evil Dominator had used an imperial-level white gold-rank and beaten him up the last time they sparred.

"Sure, I won't," agreed the Evil Dominator.

They were sent into the Kingdom to battle as soon as they went to Mr. Fu.

The Herculean King and Bing Wang shrunk to the size of a palm and hopped from one lantern to another on the ceiling.

Bai, on the other hand, stood by the window and stared blankly at the snow outside.

Tyrant walked to him with ice-cream in his hands and put one of it in front of Bai.

"You go ahead." Bai shook his head.

"Try it. It's really delicious!" Tyrant persuaded and licked his ice-cream. He did not want to chomp into it because it was too yummy. Otherwise, he would be able to inhale a few of the ice-creams in one go.

Bai accepted it after a moment of hesitation.

"Bloody said you're in a bad mood, so I'd like to ask you what's wrong." Tyrant betrayed Bloody right away.

Bai turned and shot daggers at Bloody. It was still playing chess and did not seem to notice him at all.

"I'm alright."

"Just tell me. We're brothers. There's nothing that we can't talk about." Tyrant put his hand on Bai's shoulder.

Bai peeped where Lancelot and the other two 'gay friends' were, then he looked away immediately. He then held his head while looking down at the ice-cream in his hand. "I'm Master's first imperial monster, but Lancelot and the rest have elevated to pseudo-mythical-level while Kylie has elevated to mythical-level. And I'm stuck on legendary-level while my overall ability's even lower than Warlord who's new to the team…"

"Warlord has his own army. You shouldn't compare yourself to him. Believe in Master. Us being stuck on legendary-level is only temporary. We'll elevate to mythical-level sooner or later." Tyrant was an old-timer just like Bai, but he was much more optimistic.

"But Kylie elevated to mythical-level with her own efforts…" Bai took that to heart. He was not jealous. He just thought he was not good enough.

"Bai, you're too hard on yourself. Kylie actually put a lot of effort into elevating to mythical-level. She depends mostly on the mini world that she obtained. Meanwhile, Lancelot depended on his sword servants to elevate to pseudo-mythical-level. Killer was born close to mythical-level. The Evil Dominator was born a god whereby his existence came from God Blood Pods." Bloody could not help itself but speak through voice transmission at that moment.

"You, me and most of the imperial monsters under Master elevated step by step from single mutated to double mutated. Our starting point is different from Killer and the rest. If you want to compare with them, you should only do that when you've elevated to pseudo-mythical-level or mythical-level. You can only compare whose ability is more powerful when you're on the same level as them.

"Moreover, us stopping at legendary-level now is vital in helping Master with his current combat strength. As soon as we elevate to mythical-level as Kylie did, we can no longer help him. That's bad for Master.

"If you have time for self-loathing now, why don't you take the time to cultivate the human combat methods instead? Close the gap of your abilities between Lancelot and the rest with diligent cultivation."

Bai's gloom earlier vanished after listening to Bloody's advice. He was in high spirits again.

"Bloody, pick a method that's suitable for me!"

Bai gave the ice-cream that was melting in his hand back to Tyrant and headed straight to the balcony on the top floor.

Seeing that the ice-cream was melting, Tyrant shoved the ice-cream Bai had just passed him into his mouth immediately. He swallowed it after some munching. "Mmm… So good!"

Lin Huang and Lin Xin had returned after buying ingredients when it was almost noon. They had lunch together while the Witch helped in the kitchen.

When it was time for lunch, Mr. Fu brought Killer and the Evil Dominator back from Kingdom.

Killer lost terribly and shouted at the Evil Dominator, "You liar! You said you wouldn't use substitutes above imperial-level yellow gold-rank."

"You can't blame me. A verbal agreement isn't serious enough, to begin with." The Evil Dominator spread his hands, looking like a douchebag.

Since lunch, the imperial monsters behaved themselves because Lin Huang was home.

Bloody told Lin Huang about Bai. Subsequently, he told Bloody his plan after that.

"Besides Advance Card, they'll need materials to elevate from legendary-level to mythical-level. I planned to only start collecting those materials after the New Year because we need many types of materials and some of them are rather rare. It'll take some time to gather all of them, so it's better to get started as soon as possible. Take note of that, Bai. I'll gather all the materials that we need as soon as I can."

The villa became crowded again when Mr. Fu was cooking in the evening.

The dishes Mr. Fu prepared smelled fantastic. The imperial monsters were drooling before the dishes were even served. They did not have the mood to play. Almost all of them gathered at the dining hall, waiting for the food to be served.

Everyone was stunned when they gaped at the mouth-watering dishes Mr. Fu put onto plates.

They were much more enthusiastic about having dinner compared to lunch.

Not having eaten much during lunch, Bai could not resist the tempting food. He ate so much that he became bloated.

Lin Huang recalled the Herculean King and the other imperial monsters that were lying bloated on the floor into cards and summoned the Fallen Knight and the rest. They had not been summoned for the past few days, so the dinner was definitely a treat for them.

"I've never had such delicious meat in my life!" Tyrant commented.

"You mean there's food that's even more delicious than dried carrot?!" Lancelot was completely shocked.

"Master, could you learn to cook this well?" Even Grimace humbled himself to Lin Huang for the sake of good food.

"Your master shouldn't be learning to cook in order to conserve his energy." Mr. Fu shook his head while smiling. "If all of you would like to learn, I could send you a cooking inheritance."

"I'll try to learn!" Bloody was the first to register.

"I want to learn too." Lin Xin was the second to raise her hand.

"Me too." The Witch raised her hand too.

"I'll be in charge of eating then," Tyrant offered while smiling. The rest shared the same thought too.

Night soon fell after dinner. It was beginning to get crowded outside too.

Fireworks of all colors exploded.

Under Grimace's illusion as their cover, all of the imperial monsters gathered on the balcony of the second and the third floor, watching the fireworks dazzling in the sky.

For most of them, it was their first time seeing fireworks.

"It's so beautiful!"

"I bought some in the morning. Would you guys want to play?" Lin Huang asked while smiling.

"Yes!" The imperial monsters answered in unison.

Lin Huang took the fireworks out and put them into a little pile. He got the imperial monsters to choose what they wanted and all of the fireworks were whizzed away immediately.

He demonstrated by setting off one firework. They learned fast and began setting their fireworks off on their own.

Fireworks of various colors shot into the sky and exploded into beautiful glows. The sound of laughter came from below.

Lin Xin secretly lay her head on Lin Huang's shoulder while he grabbed her shoulder and caressed her hair lovingly.

Mr. Fu was smiling faintly as he watched the siblings and the imperial monsters under the sparks.

This third New Year was the most crowded and warm one Lin Huang had ever experienced in this world.

Chapter 907: Such Big Nostrils

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a new beginning after the New Year.

Early morning on the 9th, Mr. Fu made everyone breakfast. He bade farewell to Lin Huang after that.

Bai and the rest did not want to Mr. Fu to leave. Tyrant was so close to crying.

"To be honest, I'm not worthy of being called your master. You're on your own path now and you're doing better than I expected you to. There's nothing that I could teach you any longer." Mr. Fu completely gave up the thought of staying a few more days to teach Lin Huang cultivation after witnessing his cultivation speed in sword skills for the past few days.

"Please don't say that, Master. What you've taught me is much more important than Sword Dao and ability." Lin Huang really admired Mr. Fu for sacrificing so much for the humans of the world.

"You little fellas, listen to your master. I won't cook for those who are disobedient," Mr. Fu warned Tyrant and the rest of imperial monsters that nodded immediately.

After giving them some reminders, Mr. Fu summoned a dimensional portal and stepped into it. Soon, the dimensional portal shut and he disappeared completely.

Lin Huang returned to the house with his imperial monsters, appearing gloomy.

"I'll never have such delicious meat again…" Tears rolled from Tyrant's eyes.

Lancelot seemed like he was broken. He kept muttering the same thing over and over again, "I want cucumber salad…"

"Hey, have you looked at the inheritance? How long will you take to learn it?" Grimace asked Bloody directly.

"It's not difficult to learn. The key is that we might not be able to cook as well as he does even if we follow the inheritance that he gave," Bloody spoke the truth.

"If you can't do it, show me the inheritance. I'd like to learn too. We'll compete and see who cooks better!" It was clear that Grimace was unwilling to lose to Bloody.

"Sure," Bloody agreed right away.

Bloody did not care if it could defeat Grimace in cooking because it would be great if someone could share the workload in the kitchen. Moreover, getting Grimace to do something was better than him creating trouble out of boredom.

Lin Huang returned to his room, but he could not quiet his mind to practice his sword skills.

Mr. Fu had duplicated a copy of 11 virtual god-level methods for him while he had made a copy of the three true god inheritances and 14 virtual god inheritances which he had obtained from Gong Sun for Mr. Fu.

Lin Huang discussed how to handle those methods and inheritances with Mr. Fu. They decided to keep the three true god inheritances a complete secret. They would record the 14 virtual god inheritances into jade slips and sell them together with the 11 virtual god methods to the Union Government. Mr. Fu would follow up with the Union Government and trade some exclusive authorization and cultivation resources for Lin Huang.

The 25 different cultivation methods were sufficient to cultivate millions of virtual god-level powerhouses. It was quite impossible that the Union Government would decline this business.

However, Lin Huang was concerned about Mr. Fu. After all, the person who had plotted against him the last time came from the Union Government.

Just when Lin Huang was worrying about Mr. Fu, the temporary communication ring on his finger vibrated all of a sudden. He had only left the contact number for this communication ring at the Wanbao Auction.

The communication page popped up. As expected, it showed that the person who was calling was Tang Xu from the Wanbao Auction.

Lin Huang was suspicious about the reason he would contact him at such a time. "Maybe he's calling for season's greetings?"

Lin Huang accepted the video call request after disguising as a demigod. "Yes?"

"Sir, I'm sorry to call out of the blue, but I must tell you this immediately." From Tang Xu's tone, Lin Huang faintly sensed that it might be bad news.

"Do tell."

"I heard news coming from Division 1 early in the morning. Gigantic ruins appeared in Division 1 last night out of nowhere. Judging by the intensity of its power, it should be grade-7 ruins. Many demigods are interested in this brand new ruins."

"I heard that the Union Government's planning to open this new ruins to all demigods for them to discover on their own. We've set the auction on the 8th of March, but the official opening day for the ruins is set on the 25th of February. In other words, most of the demigods on this continent will be in the new ruins rather than attending our auction when it begins."

"So, I'm wondering if we should shift the auction earlier or postpone it later?" Tang Xu was asking for Lin Huang's opinion.

"It doesn't make sense to bring it forward because the God Figurine is what I want. The God Figurine's Combat Soul is a conquest weapon. It's pretty impossible for them to trade god relics with that. Meanwhile, it's unnecessary to postpone it to the date after they've come out of the ruins. You've already set the date before the New Year and the news has spread far and wide. It'll be embarrassing to change the date." Lin Huang shook his head. "Let's just go with the initial date. If they're not sold, we'll do it again next time."

"Alright then." Tang Xu could only accept Lin Huang's suggestion helplessly. He regretted releasing the news before the New Year especially since it would have definitely been fine to release the news after that. If he were to change the date all of a sudden now, it would make people think that the Wanbao Action was unreliable.

Lin Huang changed his appearance after the call with Tang Xu and forced a smile while shaking his head helplessly. How would he have thought that this obstacle would happen when he was all ready for the auction.

He thought he would get at least four God Figurines after the auction and advance all the way to immortal-level rank-9. However, now it seemed like it would be an issue to even sell one of his god relics.

His targeted customers would be exploring the new ruins in Division 1, so who would come to the auction?

"Never mind. Just go with the flow. I'll sell them off sooner or later." Lin Huang was sure of that. It was just that he would elevate to immortal-level rank-9 much later.

His Emperor's Heart Ring vibrated all of a sudden soon after he ended the call with Tang Xu.

The communication page popped up. It was Yi Yeyu calling this time.

After accepting the video call request, Yi Yeyu's image was projected. She wore a loose, bright yellow coat with a denim mini skirt. The hemline of the coat was almost the same length as her mini skirt. There was a cute Swine Beast printed on her fluffy sandals under her long, fair legs. They were so fair that they were almost reflective.

"It's winter now and you're showing your legs off. Aren't you cold?" Lin Huang could not help but tease her as soon as he picked up her call.

Yi Yeyu was stunned when she heard his statement and explained immediately, "I have heating at home."

"Why are you wearing a coat when there's heating at home?" Lin Huang was speechless. "Also, I think you bought the coat three sizes bigger than you are. I think this is supposed to be worn by girls who are 250 pounds or so."

"You are the one who weighs 250 pounds! I bought a bigger size on purpose. This is called layering. You've no f*cking idea about fashion!" Yi Yeyu could not help but use profanity.

"Sure, you know about fashion." Lin Huang shrugged.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm hanging up." Yi Yeyu pretended like she was going to put the phone down.

"Don't hang up. You've already called, so let's just spend your Life Crystals on this call," Lin Huang said wearing a smile.

"Then, don't talk about my clothes." Yi Yeyu named her condition.

"The Swine Beast printed on your sandals… has such big nostrils."

"Don't talk about my sandals!" Yi Yeyu thought that Lin Huang would say her sandals were cute, but he teased her about the big nostrils instead.

Lin Huang shifted his focus up and his eyes eventually landed on Yi Yeyu's face.

"Why did you apply such heavy make-up today? Your lips are so red that they're going to drip with blood…"

"I've only put some lipstick on. I don't have any make-up on!" Yi Yeyu insisted furiously.

"Your hair…"

"Don't you dare talk about my hair!" Yi Yeyu interrupted Lin Huang directly this time.

"I just wanted to say that your hair looks nice this time. You seem radiant," Lin Huang mumbled softly.

"Thanks, but I don't need your compliments!" Yi Yeyu did not look any happier although she was complimented.

"You don't look too well. Are you sick? Drink more warm water," Lin Huang asked earnestly.

"I'm feeling fine. I don't need to drink warm water!"

"Alright then. So, tell me, why are you calling?" Lin Huang could not find anything else to talk about since he had commented about her from bottom to top. Moreover, she did not look pleased now.

"Nothing. Bye!"

"Don't. Just tell me what you were going to say."

Yi Yeyu glared at Lin Huang madly and only spoke a moment later, "I've elevated to immortal-level."

"Congratulations!"

"Soon, I want to train in Division 3 too."

"Sure, I'll buy you a meal then," Lin Huang said generously.

"I heard that the Wanbao Auction will be auctioning god relics after the New Year, and I'd like to take a look," Yi Yeyu proceeded to say.

"I'm going to that auction too. Let's go together," Lin Huang suggested.

"My brother might come as well. He said he wanted to see how a god relic looks like."

"Sure, let's go together," Lin Huang responded while nodding with a grin. "I'm pretty familiar with Wanbao City. I'll be your host."

After chatting with Yi Yeyu, Lin Huang put the concern he had for Mr. Fu aside. He took a wooden sword out after hanging up and went into the zone to cultivate his sword skills for the day.

Chapter 908: The Royal Trial

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang did not waste time the days after the New Year.

In order to get Bai, Tyrant and the rest to learn human combat skills faster, he took an entire day to talk it through with Bloody and Grimace. They eventually came up with an idea.

Lin Huang got Bloody to collect a massive amount of combat skills as its database, analyze the core composition of all combat skills, extract them and merge them into combat skills that were suitable for Bai and the rest.

The reason he wanted to spend so much time doing this was that it took a long time to learn high-grade combat skills.

Even an immortal-level human powerhouse who was talented in Sword Dao would need at least a year to master a legendary-level sword skill perfectly.

Lin Huang's ability to learn one sword skill an hour did not come from his talent but from the cheats that he collected.

Getting Bai and the rest to spend hundreds to thousands of years to learn combat skills would be a waste of time, so he would rather create exclusive combat skills for each of them. Even though the combat skills were more difficult, they would only take two to three years to learn.

Bloody had collected combat skills on the Heart Network before and later, its parasitic army cast parasites on many human powerhouses. Hence, it mastered quite a number of combat skills.

However, to fill up the database, Lin Huang shared a copy of all of the combat skills including Sword Dao that he had in his head. He even retrieved an extensive number of combat skills from Mr. Fu for Bloody to memorize.

To reduce its workload, Bloody delegated a portion of work to Grimace. It shared the database with Grimace.

Grimace was very curious about human combat skills, so he soon immersed himself in the study of it.

Both of them put aside the cooking competition they had agreed on earlier.

Apart from practicing sword skills every day, Lin Huang became Bloody and Grimace's consultant at the same time. They would ask Lin Huang whatever combat skills they did not understand. After all, the data that they obtained was more theory than practical.

Although Lin Huang did not cultivate many combat skills, he had achieved a certain standard in Sword Dao. Just like the saying 'a principle passes a hundred principles to be bright', the epic-level and legendary-level combat skills were not obscure to him now when he looked at them. He could give an elaborate explanation on most of them. Otherwise, he would ask Mr. Fu if there was anything he could not comprehend.

Although the exclusive combat skills were still new to Bloody and the rest, most of the imperial monsters had their own elevation techniques.

For instance, Lin Huang shared all Witchcraft Runes with the Witch. Meanwhile, Lin Huang shared the Seamless skill with the Imp and Grimace who were experts at telekinesis. For Killer, Lin Huang shared all of his Sword Dao inheritance and sword skills with him. Lancelot, on the other hand, had Bloody sharing all of the Saber Dao combat skills with him.

Killer and Lancelot were different from the other imperial monsters. They had rather terrifying talent and comprehensive ability in Sword Dao and Saber Dao. Both of them learned human sword and saber skills insanely fast. Although they could not compare with Lin Huang who had shortcuts, picking up one type of legendary-level combat skill in a day or two was normal to them.

Lin Huang figured the reason they were like that was not that they were on pseudo-mythical-level. Instead, they were born with an extraordinary affinity toward the nature of their combat skills. The Evil Dominator was on pseudo-mythical-level too, but he learned human combat skills. Its efficiency was nothing higher than Bai. In fact, it was even slightly lower.

As Bloody and Grimace got on track with the exclusive combat skills, Lin Huang had more time to cultivate his sword skills. The legendary-level sword skills that he mastered were growing every single day.

On the 13th of February evening, Lin Huang finally obtained 30,000 card pieces for the 300th legendary-level sword skill that he cultivated. Xiao Hei notified him that a complete legendary-level sword skill card had merged with him.

Just when the card became one with Lin Huang's body, he could feel that his Sword Dao was closing its gap rapidly. It was like the very last puzzle piece being fixed into the frame.

He instantly comprehended some of the questions that he could not understand in Sword Dao. It was like a layer of membrane that was pried open, and he could now see a bigger world.

Lin Huang shut his eyes for a long time and realized that his Sword Dao had reached the legendary level-6 when he opened his eyes again. Deity, level-6 of Sword Dao!

If Mr. Fu had not told him this a few days ago, perhaps Lin Huang might think that his Sword Dao had reached its peak now. However, after listening to Mr. Fu explain the true meaning of Sword Dao, Lin Huang knew he was still far from his goal. His determination and will were pumped.

The breakthrough of his Sword Dao gave Lin Huang a deeper understanding which accelerated his speed in the cultivation of his legendary-level sword skills.

Initially, he would have taken more than an hour to accumulate a complete sword skill card by cultivating legendary-level sword skills together with his Sword Spirit. However, he would only need slightly more than ten minutes for one legendary-level sword skill in order to get a complete sword skill card. He could obtain four to five sword skill cards within an hour.

The boost in the learning of his sword skills gave Lin Huang more confidence which made him cultivate his sword skills even more diligently.

However, figuring that it was still the New Year, Lin Huang would still spend time eating and shopping with Lin Xin every day.

He also took the time to contact Leng Yuexin, Li Lang, and the rest of his old friends to find out how they had been.

Leng Yuexin had elevated to immortal-level rank-2. She had already been on blue flame-level 11 months ago after all.

On the other hand, Li Lang had elevated to immortal-level rank-1. His skin was much tanner now. Having looked like a brat before, he now looked mature. It was clear that he had gone through a lot in the past year.

Lin Huang did not contact Yi Zheng, but he was almost sure that he was more powerful than Leng Yuexin. The resources in Division 3 were richer compared to Division 7, and since Lin Huang had introduced Yi Zheng to the Genius Union, his growth must have skyrocketed.

On the night of the 14th of February, Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring vibrated when he was practicing his sword skills.

Seeing that it was Yang Ling on the communication page, he figured that the Emperor's Heart Rings must be unlocked. He picked up the video call after disguising as Lin Xie.

Surprisingly, Yang Ling did not show any body parts this time in the video call. Instead, he was wearing a smart suit.

"Yo, you dressed up today."

"It's a must since it's a special day today," Yang Ling said while smiling.

"What's so special about today?" Lin Huang was stunned to hear that.

"It's obvious that you're a single dog." Tang Ling had disdain on his face. "You don't even know it's Valentine's Day today."

"Aren't you a single dog as well?" Lin Huang pouted.

"Not exactly. I met this goddess the other day, so today might spell the end of my singledom," Yang Ling said with full confidence.

"You might end your singledom today, but you'll become single again tomorrow." Lin Huang seriously had no comment on Yang Ling's messy private life. He was lucky to not have contracted any diseases by now.

"It's different this time." Yang Ling nodded in all seriousness. "I'm really in love."

"Sure, I'll congratulate you in advance then." Lin Huang was a little surprised, but he did not plan to delve into Yang Ling's private life.

"Are you contacting me this time to tell me that you've unlocked all of the Emperor's Heart Rings?"

"I've taken a few days off during the New Year and spent half a day yesterday unlocking all of them." Yang Ling put his private life aside as soon as it came to business. "Your rewards are pretty dope this time!"

Yang Ling could see all of the items in the Emperor's Heart Rings via projection after unlocking them. However, he could only see the projected items and not take them away since the rings were physically with Lin Huang.

"But there's something that I must tell you. There's this one item among all of them that you must get rid of as soon as you can, or else, you might get yourself into major trouble." Yang Ling could not help but frown as he warned.

"What's that?" Lin Huang asked doubtfully.

"It's Dynasty's Royal Trials token," Yang Ling announced while projecting an image.

It was a golden token with the character 'royal' imprinted right in the middle amidst complicated sigils around it.

"What does this thing do?"

"It's the trial token that's only owned by Dynasty's Princes. Every Prince has one," Yang Ling explained, "Dynasty will have a Royal Trial every decade. All of the Princes must participate in it. The person who passes the final elimination will obtain the Royal Title and became the leader of Dynasty. It has been over 600 years since Dynasty was established and there's only been one person who won the title. He was Dynasty's founder.

"If I'm not mistaken, Dynasty should have the Royal Trials this year. Huang Wuji of Five Princes will most probably win the title and become Dynasty's new leader."

"A trial token would mean a place in the Royal Trials. Dynasty won't allow the Royal Trials token to be wandering out there. Having this token with you spells big trouble, so I suggest you get rid of it as soon as you can."

"Can they sense where the token is since it's in the Emperor's Heart Ring?" Lin Huang raised a brow.

"They can't, but they have their way of locating it as soon as you take it out." Yang Ling shook his head and added, "I've changed the positioning of those Emperor's Heart Rings that you obtained this time before I activated them, but we can't get rid of the possibility that they might find out about the rings being activated and retrieve the items from far away. I honestly suggest you get rid of them as soon as possible."

"I understand. Thanks." Lin Huang nodded.

As soon as they were done talking, Lin Huang heard someone knocking on Yang Ling's door when he was going to hang up on the video call.

"I think it's my goddess. Don't hang up. I'll show you how gorgeous my goddess is!" Yang Ling stood up to get the door instantly.

A delicate and shy girl appeared standing at the door.

Lin Huang was completely bewildered when he took a closer look. He almost exclaimed out loud, 'Hong Zhuang?!'

The girl was Hong Zhuang, but her make-up seemed completely different than before. She looked like a naive student now.

"You're here, Hong Hong!" Yang Ling looked shy which was a rare sight. "Oh yeah, I was just talking to my client. Let me hang up now."

Yang Ling turned around and winked at Lin Huang's projection at his work desk as he walked over. It only took him a few steps to reach his desk before he ended the call.

Looking at the empty communication page before him, Lin Huang could not snap back to reality for a long time.

Chapter 909: I'd Like to Try

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hong Zhuang's appearance surprised Lin Huang.

He knew how powerful that lady was. When he had still been on bronze-level, that lady had brought him into the Purple Crow from which he took great effort to escape by faking his death.

Her make-up aside, Lin Huang could recognize her right away by looking at her back.

This lady was no ordinary person. She was the person who fooled the two major organizations; she faked her death to escape the Union Government's headquarters and left the Purple Crow without getting caught.

Even though Yang Ling was a traveler just like Lin Huang, and possessed a heaven-defying Goldfinger, he might not gain any benefits from this lady.

After some struggle, Lin Huang decided to keep quiet about Hong Zhuang's identity.

That lady must have her own objectives of being with Yang Ling. Exposing her identity might trigger him and result in Yang Ling being killed to keep the secret safe.

Lin Huang shook his head to get Hong Zhuang out of his mind. He then began to look at the Emperor's Heart Rings Yang Ling had unlocked.

Among the 300 or so Emperor's Heart Rings, over 60 of them belonged to imperial-level powerhouses.

Lin Huang browsed through them one after another.

Apart from an impressive number of Life Crystals, all sort of materials, elixirs and monster carcasses, there were also thousands of ancient relics, over 70 demigod relics, and many miscellaneous items.

He also found the token Yang Ling mentioned among the miscellaneous items.

It was completely golden with the character 'royal' imprinted right in the middle just like Yang Ling projected.

"There really is a Royal Trials token!" Lin Huang did not take it out. Instead, he looked through the ring with his Divine Telekinesis.

After recalling his Divine Telekinesis, Lin Huang thought hard about how to handle this token.

"There's a high possibility that people from Dynasty will find it and take it back if I throw it away like that." He was reluctant to do that. After some thought, he went on the Heart Network and began reading up more on the Royal Trials.

However, he got nothing after browsing through for half an hour. It was clear that Dynasty kept the news confidential. After thinking to himself, he decided to contact Mr. Fu.

"Mr dear disciple, what's wrong? Is there anything about the combat skills that you don't understand?"

"Master, do you know what the Royal Trials entail?" Lin Huang asked directly.

"This I really have no idea about. Dynasty has never made the Royal Trials public. Apart from the Princes who participate in it, nobody from Dynasty knows what's in it, let alone outsiders. Moreover, it's said that the tests are different every time." Mr. Fu thought it was weird for Lin Huang to ask about this. "Why are you asking about this out of nowhere?"

"I have a Royal Trials token with me," Lin Huang revealed honestly.

"You killed a Prince of Dynasty?" Mr. Fu could not help but raise his brow when he heard the revelation.

"Yes, the Seventh Prince."

"Don't worry about it since you've already killed him." Mr. Fu shook his head subsequently. "But it's better that you get rid of this trial token. Especially since the Royal Trials will open this year, people from Dynasty will definitely look for the trial tokens that are wandering out there. They might come after you if you keep it with you."

"So, anyone can participate in the trial as long as they have this token?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Yes, according to the rumors. Dynasty's founder used the token to participate in the Royal Trials before Dynasty was even founded. Ever since he established Dynasty, he got people to gather information about the trial tokens and collect them in all sort of ways.

"So, whether you're a Prince or not, you can take part in it even if you're not from Dynasty. You're eligible to enter the trials as long as you have the token to activate it while your combat strength must be on immortal-level.

"However, the problem is that Dynasty has been treating where the trials are held as their private properly. Dynasty Princes will definitely attack together as soon as an outsider appears."

Mr. Fu looked at Lin Huang suspiciously after he explained at length. "Are you thinking of participating in the Royal Trials?"

"I would like to try." Lin Huang smiled while nodding. "There must be many benefits of these trials since the founder of Dynasty values it so much. Moreover, I'm dying to find out how difficult the trials are. The trials that only one person has passed in more than 500 years."

Mr. Fu went silent for a moment before speaking again, "I won't interfere with your decision. Go ahead if you think it's the right thing to do."

"With your current ability and your imperial monsters, it shouldn't be a problem for you to handle the ordinary Dynasty Princes. However, you must beware of this one person, Huang Wuji. He was already on immortal-level rank-9 three years ago and he's been suppressing his combat strength on immortal-level for the past few years just for the trials this time. He's known as one of the most powerful immortal-level powerhouses in the entire continent."

"If he really only has immortal-level rank-9 combat strength, he shouldn't be a major threat to your knight imperial monster who can merge, but it's very likely that he'll break through his combat strength as soon as he enters the trials. It's possible for him to break through to imperial-level crimson gold-rank or even imperial-level yellow gold-rank right away with three years of work, heavy support of resources from Dynasty and some special techniques. His real ability might be on par with imperial-level purple gold-rank if he elevates to imperial-level yellow gold-rank."

"Huang Wuji of the Five Princes… I've heard of him." Lin Huang nodded lightly upon hearing Mr. Fu's advice. "I'll be careful."

"Don't think too much when you're in the trials. Just give all you have to fight. If you pass the trial, I could ask Dynasty for some resources for you. After all, it's pretty impossible that they'd get an outsider like you to be their leader."

"I'll try my best." Lin Huang faintly sensed that Mr. Fu seemed to have rather high expectations of him. Looking at him grinning in the projection, Lin Huang figured he must be imagining himself giving Dynasty a good lesson.

Mr. Fu snapped back to his senses a moment later. Lin Huang asked then, "Master, do you know when do the trials open?"

He had browsed through the Web but found nothing, so he could only ask Mr. Fu for the answer.

"I'm not sure about the exact time. From what I remember, the opening varies every time." Mr. Fu shook his head.

"But don't you worry. They always make it so ridiculously big like it's the New Year every time the Royal Trials open. With Huang Wuji this time, they'll definitely make everyone hear about it before it opens. Moreover, a new ruin has opened in Division 1. Dynasty will only have time to make the Royal Trials happen after they are done exploring the ruins. I'm guessing the trials will only happen in two months no matter what. I'll keep tabs on it and inform you as soon as I hear about it." Mr. Fu changed the subject as soon as they were done talking about the trials.

"I've talked to the Union Government about the virtual god-level methods. We're in the preliminary stage of the discussion now and I'm still negotiating some details. A decision should be made in these few days, and I'll contact you as soon as the decision's out."

"Sure."

Lin Huang had gotten one problem off his chest after speaking to Mr. Fu, but he had something else bothering him now.

"There's no rush for the Royal Trials yet, but Wanbao City's auction will start on the 8th of March. I'll have to go back to Division 3 in 20 days. What about the silly girl, Lin Xin?"

Chapter 910: Why Don't You Stay at the Martial Hunter College to be Their Teacher

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To Lin Huang, getting Lin Xin to stay in Division 7 would be much safer.

Division 3 was a mix of highs and lows. 80% of the underground organizations' headquarters on the entire continent was there.

Even the Union Government gave up on the overall jurisdiction of the area whereby they took footholds No. A1 to A10 with other union organizations.

Among the 38 Grade-A footholds, 28 of them were occupied by top underground organizations. The Grade-B footholds were all taken up by the remaining underground organizations.

Meanwhile, the leftover Grade-C's and Grade-D's with little value were filled with underground organization members.

Such a safety zone was not the best environment for Lin Xin to grow up in.

Lin Huang could always leave whenever he got into any trouble if he was alone. However, if he brought Lin Xin along, not only would it be a drag, but his rivals might come after both of them.

After laying out the pros and cons, Lin Huang came up with a plan right away. He shared his opinion during dinner.

Lin Xin listened to him from the beginning until the end without saying a word. She did not show any expression on her face, but Lin Huang knew that she must be upset.

"It would be a relief for me if you stayed in Division 7," Lin Huang added, "White Capital's the safest foothold in the entire Division 7."

"But I've applied for graduation." Lin Xin lifted her head to look at Lin Huang. She had been hiding her expression from him.

"When did you apply for that?" Lin Huang was a little surprised.

"Before the winter holidays," Lin Xin said softly, "The stuff Martial Hunter College's teaching is no longer useful for me. I've learned everything about Sword Dao and firearms through whatever's available at the library by myself throughout the year… So, I applied for the graduation exam ahead of time and passed with full marks."

Lin Huang frowned slightly. It was not that he was unsatisfied with Lin Xin's result, but he was worried that she would be not able to stay in Martial Hunter College any longer since she was no longer a student there.

Winter City was a grade more dangerous than the White Capital. To be honest, Lin Huang was worried about leaving her alone in Winter City.

Moreover, Lin Xin would consider leaving her initial circle after leaving Martial Hunter College. Apart from the Witch, she had no friends, which was bad for her growth.

After some deep thought, an idea popped into Lin Huang's mind.

"Xin Er, why don't you stay at Martial Hunter College to be a teacher?"

"Huh?!" Lin Xin was shocked to hear that.

"It's great to be a teacher. I think you could try that."

"Am I good enough to be one?" Lin Xin felt a little emotional now.

After all, her brother had been a teacher at Martial Hunter College before. It sounded like a fantastic idea to experience what her brother had gone through.

"With your current standards, you should be good enough to teach the Sword Dao faculty or firearms at Martial Hunter College," Lin Huang said while smiling and nodding approvingly.

Lin Xin teaching at Martial Hunter College would be another way to push her back to the White Capital for better safety.

"You'll still see your classmates and teachers if you go back to Martial Hunter College. Wouldn't that be great? It's way more fun than staying in Winter City with the Witch alone." Lin Huang proceeded to persuade her.

"Is Division 3 really as dangerous as you described?" Lin Xin gazed at Lin Huang and asked grudgingly. She knew that he was being dramatic in order to get her to follow him.

"I'll send you the statistical reports of the distribution of the organizations and the crime rates in Division 3." Lin Huang selected two documents immediately and sent them to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin took a look at the documents right away. She was just glancing through them and found out that he did not lie about the distribution of the organizations. She then studied the crime report. The longer she looked through it, the deeper her frown became while her little face turned pale.

"Apart from footholds No. A1 to A10, the rest of the footholds in Division 3 aren't safe," Lin Huang confirmed, "But you'll need a permit to enter the safe footholds, let alone reside there.

"As for the rest of the areas, even Grade-A footholds have an average of at least 30,000 crimes, including murder, every year. There are some Grade-A footholds that have recorded more than 50,000 crimes annually. Grade-B and Grace-C areas are even messier. Even the data statistic isn't complete."

"Why isn't the Union Government doing anything about it since it's so messed up?" Lin Xin knew he was telling the truth after looking at the statistics.

"It's not that they don't want to do anything, but there's nothing that they can do. If the Union Government didn't vacate Division 3, there would've been more underground organizations residing in Divisions 1 and 2. If that happened, the three core zones would be in chaos. For overall stability, the Union Government was forced to give and take." Lin Huang provided a simple explanation.

Lin Xin went silent for a moment and finally nodded. "I'll promise to stay in Division 7, but I have a condition!"

"Do tell." Lin Huang raised his brow in curiosity. It was clear that Lin Xin had grown up now that she was laying her conditions down.

"I want to go to Division 3 when I reach immortal-level. By then, you're not allowed to use all sorts of excuses to trick me." Lin Xin firmly named her condition.

"I'll accept your condition, but I'd like to add another one." Lin Huang nodded after agreeing to her condition and laid out his terms. "You must wait until you're totally stable in each rank before elevating to the next rank when you reach holy fire-level. Don't destroy your foundation just because you want to fulfill the agreement you've made with me as soon as you can."

"I'm not that stupid to destroy my own foundation." Lin Xin retaliated immediately.

"So… Deal?" Lin Huang extended his fist.

"Deal!" Lin Xin extended her fist as well and bumped it with Lin Huang's.

Lin Huang had another worry crossed off his mind after coming to an agreement with her.

"Do you need to hunt for Life Fire monsters to elevate from gold-level to holy fire-level? Or will you be able to achieve that just by guzzling Life Crystals like before?"

The reason Lin Huang asked that was that Lin Xin had an extremely unique physique whereby she had depended on eating Life Crystals alone to elevate from iron-level all the way to gold-level. She did not even have to obtain any Life Seeds. He was unsure if Lin Xin would need Life Fire or merely depended on the Life Crystals to elevate from gold-level to white flame-level which was a big leap.

"I think I can achieve that with sufficient Life Crystals." Lin Xin was hesitant when she answered.

Lin Huang transferred a sum of Life Crystals to Lin Xin right away. "Let me know if it's not enough."

Lin Xin heard a chime a moment later and she checked her account immediately.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…" Lin Xin counted the number of zeroes one after another. "100 million, one billion!"

She counted again to make sure that she did not get it wrong. She then gaped at Lin Huang with her eyes wide open.

"A billion Life Crystals?!"

"Is it not enough?" Lin Huang raised a brow.

"It's enough. It's enough!" Lin Xin nodded immediately.

"Just take whatever you need and break through these few days when I'm around. Your combat strength was close to complete-stage gold-level much earlier, so there's no need for you to stay on this level," Lin Huang urged Lin Xin to break through to holy fire-level as soon as possible. He wanted to guide her in the system before he left. "If you can't break through from eating Life Crystals, I'll bring you to hunt Life Fire monsters."

"Alright, I'll go to the Credit Bureau to withdraw Life Crystals now." Lin Xin did not plan to drag this on anymore. She was eager to become a transcendence since the beginning.

Chapter 911: Lin Xin — Elevating to Transcendence

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang got himself a chair and sat on guard outside of Lin Xin's room. He used his Divine Telekinesis to penetrate the wall and was aware of Lin Xin's condition at all times although he was just a wall away from her.

Lin Xin sat by her bed with Life Crystals piled into a little hill under her bed.

She opened her mouth and the Life Crystals the size of a thumb turned into white rays which seeped into her mouth one after another. The pile of Life Crystals that looked like a little hill was getting smaller and smaller at a speed could be seen with the naked eye.

Whenever the Life Crystals pile on the floor finished, she would fill them up from the stock in her Emperor's Heart Ring immediately.

She repeated that for more than ten hours and eventually stopped when it was almost midnight.

Lin Huang, who had been guarding outside the door, could not help but stand up. He fixed his eyes where Lin Xin was through the wall. He could finally sense that her aura was getting more powerful at a rapid speed.

Using his Divine Telekinesis, he had been following up with her, and he waited for the change to end patiently.

However, Lin Xin's aura elevated from complete-stage gold-level all the way to white flame-level in less than a minute. It finally stopped when it reached the peak of white flame-level.

He was rather surprised to sense Lin Xin's current aura. Her aura had clearly surpassed most triple mutated white flame-level monsters. She was almost on par with the God Blood, Bai, back then.

In less than three minutes, Lin Xin's flesh transformed at a high speed.

It was transforming internally and could not be seen with one's eyes. Lin Huang clearly sensed with his Divine Telekinesis that her soul was transforming at the same time. Moreover, the transformation speed of her soul was no slower than that of her flesh.

Lin Huang thought it was mind-boggling when he sensed the transformation speed of her flesh and soul.

One must know that it had taken him more than three hours to complete the preliminary transformation of his flesh and soul when he elevated to white flame-level back then. He then took almost a month to stabilize the transformation completely.

However, Lin Xin only took less than three minutes to complete the transformation of her flesh and soul completely. Compared to his process that took a month, this was astounding.

Just when Lin Huang was worrying about her, in her bedroom, Lin Xin opened her eyes slowly.

She looked around before holding her head down to look at her hands. "Is this transcendence? I feel like I'm so much more powerful now."

After confirming that Lin Xin had woken up, Lin Huang knocked on her door.

"Come in." Lin Xin knew that her brother was the only one who would knock on her door at that moment.

Lin Huang opened the door and stopped when he noticed the Life Crystals that were strewn all over the floor. "Xin Er, do you feel any discomfort in your body since you've just elevated?"

"No." Lin Xin checked her body and did not notice any unusualness. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, great then." Lin Huang was relieved. "Some people will experience some discomfort from not being able to control their body or soul that's become powerful all of a sudden after they've just elevated."

Lin Huang made up an excuse to cover up his concern. He figured that her transformation speed must have something to do with her body that was one of a kind.

"Tidy up your room and sleep early."

"Sleep early?" Lin Xin turned to look out of the window, only realizing that the sky was now dark. She then turned to ask Lin Huang immediately, "What time is it now?"

"It's past midnight," Lin Huang said with a grin, "You took over ten hours to break through this time."

"That long?"

"Leaping through a level will result in a transformation of flesh and soul, so it's normal for it to take longer," Lin Huang assured. "Sleep early. I'll teach you how to build the Flying Power Sigil tomorrow. You'll be able to fly after you learn that."

"Flying Power!" Lin Xin's eyes lit up upon hearing that.

Lin Huang shook his head while smiling before he returned to his room.

Lin Xin put all of the Life Crystals on the floor into her Emperor's Heart Ring but sleep eluded her due to the excitement.

On the next morning, Lin Xin woke Lin Huang up before it was even 7 a.m. The silly girl did not sleep the entire night because she could not wait to learn how to build the Flying Power Sigil!

Lin Huang rolled off his bed slowly and ignored Lin Xin's prodding. He proceeded to wash up as usual.

Just when he was on his way down to prepare breakfast after washing up, he found out that Lin Xin had already made breakfast and finished her food.

There was no peace during breakfast for him that day.

"Hurry up and finish. Then, we can learn the Flying Power Sigil when you're done!" Lin Xin did not stop urging him.

Lin Huang followed his own rhythm and finished his breakfast at his own pace. He then pointed between Lin Xin's brows to transfer the Flying Power Sigil to her.

"Try building it yourself first. Ask me if there's anything that you don't understand." Lin Huang picked the plate up and walked toward the kitchen sink.

Lin Xin returned to her room in excitement after obtaining the sigil.

Lin Huang had given her the set of Flying Power runes that Mr. Fu had passed him back then. It was made up of a total of 28 different sigils.

The set of runes was great for people elevating before immortal-level. It would not be difficult for Lin Xin to adapt, but it was not enough for Lin Huang now. Especially after encountering so many imperial-level enemies, he decided to use the Witchcraft Rune to make himself a new set of Flying Power runes.

Now that Lin Xin could learn Flying Power, he did not plan to drag it on any longer.

He put his Sword Dao cultivation aside temporarily and spent more than two hours finally building a new set of Flying Power.

He used over 800 Witchcraft Runes for the set, which was close to 30 folds of the set of sigils before. The rune combination was hundreds of times more complicated than the previous sigil.

The massive number of runes formed a brand new anti-gravity sigil, a motion sigil, a kinetic energy regulation sigil, a direction-shifting sigil, a balancing sigil, a shelter sigil, a reduction sigil, an instant acceleration sigil, and so on.

After spending over half an hour building a whole set of sigils, a Skill Card appeared in Lin Huang's body. He was stunned to hear Xiao Hei's notification because it was a pseudo-mythical-card.

"Congratulations, you've obtained a pseudo-mythical-level flying-type Skill Card x1

"Skill Card

"Skill Name: Unnamed

"Rarity: Mythical-level (Pseudo)

"Type of Skill: Flying

"Status: Available

"Skill Description: This is a flying-type skill mainly used for flying in the air.

"Remarks: Comprehensive function. There are no flaws about it, but drains Life Power

"Card Remarks: Not bad

"Would you like to name this card?"

"Let's call it Wandering God." Lin Huang came up with that name after giving it some thought. He wanted to depict a person wandering around like a god.

He then walked out of the house after the card was formed. He activated the newly built Flying Power and hovered in the sky. Picking a direction, he flew after taking some time to familiarize himself with it.

After half an hour, Lin Huang's body turned into a stream of light and he penetrated a door in a small area.

'With this flying skill, my flying speed's on par with Kylie's when she was on immortal-level rank-4. The turbo speed's also almost the same speed when Kylie was flying on turbo mode. If I add Seraphic Speed on, the speed will get another 50% boost!' Lin Huang was pretty satisfied with the Flying Power. However, he was comparing himself with Kylie when she was still triple mutated on the same combat strength instead of the version of her having elevated to mythical-level now.

Chapter 912: Ancient-level Soul Crystal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the next few days, Lin Huang's life returned to its original discipline whereby he spent most of his time practicing his sword skills.

He could clearly feel that the more sword skills he mastered each day, the closer he was getting to level-6 Sword Dao gradually. However, he was the only who could feel the boost while outsiders had no way of sensing it at all.

Meanwhile, Lin Xin spent three days to finish building the Flying Power.

It was not that she was dumb, but she had never worked with sigils before.

After obtaining the sigil from Lin Huang, she spent three days studying it on her own. She only went to Lin Huang on the third afternoon and asked more than 30 questions that she had accumulated all at once.

Lin Huang gave her a detailed explanation for each question.

After getting the answers, she returned to her room and completed building her power within an hour and a half.

She then flew from the window of the second floor in excitement. However, she fell onto the ground before she could fly ten meters away. Her head plunged into the snow.

She stood up in the snow immediately so that she would not embarrass herself in front of Lin Huang. After looking around and seeing no one, she crawled quietly back to the second floor and into her room through the window.

Naturally, that little embarrassing incident of hers could not escape from Lin Huang's territory. He shook his head while smiling. He decided to pretend that he had no idea about it.

After the past few days, Bloody and Grimace finally finished working on the exclusive combat skills for all the imperial monsters.

Bai obtained a set of combat skills combined with weapons including swords, sabers, spears, and so on. The set of combat skills was pretty straightforward but each and every one of them was a sure-kill.

Tyrant got a set of mixed close-distance combat skills and a set of cultivation methods. Bloody combined up to 1,000 close-distance battle methods to come up with this.

Similar to Tyrant, the Herculean King and the Malachian Fiend received a set of cultivation methods and a set of close-distance combat skills. The difference was that those methods and skills were adjusted following their respective battle styles.

On the other hand, the Death Knight and the Fallen Knight would be cultivating the same spear combat skill.

Meanwhile, Charcoal, Thunder and the rest of the monsters that were not humanoid were unable to cultivate combat skills. Bloody picked the inheritance that suited them most from the various inheritances its parasitic monsters had obtained and shared it with them.

After completing the building of her Flying Power, Lin Xin only spent half a day familiarizing herself with flying.

However, Lin Huang did not let her rest just yet. He passed the Sword Dao inheritance that he had mastered to her.

Lin Xin cultivated mainly in firearms and minored in Sword Dao. She was not sure what would happen to her when she was done digesting the Sword Dao inheritance Lin Huang had given her. However, the inheritance alone could keep her cultivating for a long time.

On the second day, Mr. Fu came with a piece of news when Lin Huang was guiding Lin Xin on Sword Dao.

Seeing that it was Mr. Fu calling on the communication page, Lin Huang returned to his room and picked up the video call.

"Master, has it been decided?"

"Yes. Though I'm not exactly satisfied with the results, it's considered acceptable," Mr. Fu said.

"Which condition did the Union Government agree with?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"First would be all of the permits into all union organizations' ruins. Second would be the level-one reading authorization and a 10-day VIP pass to all union organizations' libraries. The third one would be the level-one authorization for all union organizations' information channels. Fourth would be the permit into No. 0 Safe Zone while the last one would be the ancient-level soul crystals that you want. They're giving 30,000 ancient-level soul crystals."

"I asked for a few demigod-level soul crystals for you, but those fellas were unwilling to give them up no matter what." Mr. Fu had upset written all over his face.

However, Lin Huang was pretty shocked to hear that.

The four authorizations that Mr. Fu had asked for him were basically for demigod-level. Naturally, such a privilege was not even given to demigods from union organizations, but demigods who were unofficial personnel and collaborated with them. All union organization demigod-level powerhouses had VIP passes.

"Permit into all union organizations' ruins…" Lin Huang raised his brow. "Including the ruins that just opened in Division 1?"

"Let's not go to that one," Mr. Fu warned him immediately, "Going into an unknown ruin that has yet to be explored is the most dangerous choice you can make. Even Virtual Gods might die in this virgin exploration, let alone demigods. It's even more dangerous than the Fallen God Land."

"I'm just asking for fun." Lin Huang looked guilty. He did not want to die for no reason.

"Just wait patiently for the Royal Trials from Dynasty to open. Don't go around before that. Try your best to improve your abilities," Mr. Fu advised again, "These authorizations should be activated, at the latest, within 24 hours and the soul crystals will be transferred to your account in your Emperor's Heart Ring."

Lin Huang was rather satisfied with the deal this time around after he hung up Mr. Fu's call.

No matter whether it was the permit into the ruins or the library as well as the level-one authorization for the information channel, none of them could be bought with money. Especially the permit into No. 0 Safe Zone, one could usually earn it only when one had made sufficient contribution to the Union Government. Even a majority of the higher management of the Union Government did not have such a privilege.

What mattered the most to him were the ancient-level soul crystals.

There was an extremely low chance of obtaining ancient soul crystals from hunting imperial-level monsters. The probability was much lower than obtaining ancient relics.

Nobody knew how a soul crystal was formed, but most of the powerhouses knew that such a thing contained an insane amount of spiritual energy which could be used to recover from spiritual damage.

That was the reason why such an item was being sold at a ridiculous price. It was sold at 100 million Life Crystals and was in high demand, so it was priceless. 30,000 of them would be equivalent to three trillion Life Crystals.

Naturally, Lin Huang did not want them for himself but to feed those Combat Souls.

It was extremely difficult to elevate the combat strength of God Figurines' Combat Souls in his body.

The spiritual intensity of the God Figurines' Combat Souls were tens of folds higher than others on the same level. Furthermore, with the filter through the Divine Fire, the spiritual energy was all gone.

They would need to kill thousands of imperial-level white gold-rank monsters for the Divine Sun Tree and the rest to elevate from imperial-level yellow gold-rank to imperial-level white gold-rank. If they were killing high-level immortal-level monsters, they would have to kill millions of them in order to elevate.

However, with the ancient-level soul crystals, he would only need 3,000 to 5,000 of them to elevate one imperial-level yellow gold-rank God Figurine's Combat Soul to imperial-level white gold-rank.

It was great that Mr. Fu managed to get 30,000 soul crystals for him.

"I'll elevate the few God Figurines' Combat Souls to imperial-level white gold-rank when the soul crystals are transferred to my account tomorrow." Lin Huang made up his mind.

The next morning, he received a notification from the Union Government.

All of the authorizations that Mr. Fu had requested for him had been activated officially. He had also received the 30,000 ancient-level soul crystals in his account.

Lin Huang dropped by the Credit Bureau and withdrew half of them at once.

He summoned his four God Figurines' Combat Souls as soon as he arrived home and began feeding them.

Due to the massacre in the Fallen God Land, they had accumulated a certain amount of spiritual energy which caused a mediocre draining of soul crystals for the four God Figurines' Combat Souls.

When Lin Huang was done feeding less than 10,000 soul crystals, all four of his God Figurines' Combat Souls had elevated to imperial-level white gold-rank.

His trump card was boosted once again!

Chapter 913: Settling In

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was on the 23rd of February. Lin Huang and Lin Xin returned to the White Capital with the Witch early in the morning.

It had been half a month since the New Year. Martial Hunter College had yet to open school officially, but many teachers and students had returned.

Lin Xin's application as a Martial Hunter College teacher was smooth-sailing.

She was an outstanding graduate of the college with a combat strength that fitted the school's standard. Moreover, Lin Huang had spoken to his Senior Brother Liu Ming beforehand.

Although Liu Ming was no longer at the college, he was advancing his career in the core zone now. The current dean at Division 7 would still have to give him face. Moreover, even if the dean had no idea about him, the two deputy deans used to be under Liu Ming's wing, so it was easy to send Lin Xin in.

Lin Huang checked into a hotel close to Martial Hunter College instead of going to the school with Lin Xin.

Before leaving Division 7 last year, he used a method to wipe some people's memory. Nobody in the entire Martial Hunter College knew about his relationship with Lin Xin now, and he did not want to cause any trouble.

He stood at the balcony of the hotel room and watched Lin Xin go into the Martial Hunter College's entrance. He then looked away, but he did not recall his Divine Telekinesis.

At the same time, with an ounce of deja vu, Lin Xin was a little nervous to be returning to Martial Hunter College.

After all, her identity here was previously a student, but she was now a teacher.

Furthermore, she was the same age as most Year 2 students and a year younger than most Year 3 students.

She was getting more and more nervous when she recalled that her brother was named the least popular teacher among the Sword Dao faculty students when he had just begun his career there.

Just when Lin Xin's head was in chaos, a voice came from across all of a sudden.

"Lin Xin, you're back in school!" It was a tall and skinny boy who was walking toward her. He was her classmate, Nangong Qing.

Lin Xin was stunned to bump into someone she knew out of the blue. She nodded and spoke subsequently, "Yes, I've just come back today."

She did not tell anyone about her applying to graduate. She did not even tell her close friends who stayed in the same dorm as she did. Initially, she planned to drop by the college when she had the time that year to explain to her close friends. It seemed like there was no need for that now.

Both of them had just begun to chat while another boy walked towards them in long strides.

"Mu Xiao…" Fear flashed through Nangong Qing's face.

From a distance, Lin Huang recognized that the boy was the top student of the same year as Lin Xin. He had created an uproar at the orientation back then, claiming that he wanted to break through to transcendence-level and become the youngest transcendent in Division 7.

However, this boy's combat strength was stuck on white silver-level rank-3. He lagged far behind Lin Xin despite being the same age.

"Lin Xin, I'll definitely earn the No. 1 rank that belongs to me this year!" Mu Xiao roared furiously when he arrived in front of Lin Xin and stormed off.

Lin Xin was stunned but she subsequently smiled while shaking her head.

After saying goodbye to Nangong Qing, she headed straight to the dean's office.

Lin Huang saw what happened loud and clear with his Divine Telekinesis.

"That little fella named Nangong Qing seems to like Xin Er, but it's obvious that Xin Er isn't interested in him," Lin Huang mumbled to himself with his hand on his chin. "While that little fella named Mu Xiao has great talent and potential, he's hot-headed. There's nothing to worry about him. Hmm, I'll observe for a few more days and see if there's anyone who has ill intentions toward Xin Er. If there is, I'll end their plot right away!" Ferocious gleam sparkled in his eyes.

Lin Xin knocked on the dean's office door when she arrived.

"Fellow student, how may I help you?" The dean was a man with neatly combed white hair. He wore an ironed dark-blue Chinese tunic suit with a plain white shirt inside.

He seemed to be in his early fifties, but the way he dressed was different from most clumsy old men. He put in effort into his appearance.

The grave seriousness on his face loosened when he lifted his head and saw Lin Xin, whom he thought was a student, standing at the door.

However, he sensed Lin Xin's combat strength as soon as he spoke. She was on gold-level rank-3.

Lin Huang gave her a disguise demigod relic when she elevated to white flame-level, so the dean was looking at Lin Xin undercover. After all, it was shocking for a 16-year-old to achieve transcendence-level.

The new dean only had a combat strength of an immortal-level rank-9. Naturally, he could not see through Lin Xin's real combat strength.

"Are you the new teacher that Old Liu recommended?" The dean asked immediately and waved at Lin Xin at the same time, inviting her to come in.

"Yes, my name's Ling Xue. I applied to graduate before the New Year." Lin Xin sat down nervously at the dean's desk.

"Hmm, I've looked at your documents. Very impressive." The dean looked rather serious now.

A gold-level rank-3 16-year-old. He thought that this girl must have some powerful background or came from some honorable family to have Liu Ming's recommendation!

"Looking at your document, you're good at Sword Dao and firearms. Which one would you like to teach?"

"I would like to teach firearms," Lin Xin answered without thinking twice.

It was Lin Huang who had taught her Sword Dao. There was a possibility that people might find out about her relationship with Lin Huang if she were to teach Sword Dao. She did not want to take the risk.

"Sure, we happen to lack teachers for firearms." The dean thought for some time before speaking, "Miss Ling, you'll teach Year 1 Class 2 for the second half of the semester."

Lin Xin was stunned to hear that. She did not expect to be asked to teach Class 2 given that she was new.

However, she knew very well that Martial Hunter College distributed the students according to their exam results. Although Class 2 was less powerful than Class 1, they were still geniuses.

This new dean was efficient. After working on his Emperor's Heart Ring for a moment, he lifted his head to look at Lin Xin. "I've sent you the teaching certificate."

"The 26th of February will be the official school opening day. Go to the academic affairs office when you have the time these few days. They'll give you the teaching materials and arrange your accommodation. Ask them if there's anything that you don't understand."

"Sure." Lin Xin nodded immediately.

She headed straight to the academic affairs office as soon as she left the dean's office. She wanted to get the teaching materials as soon as she could to prepare ahead.

There was only a middle-aged lady on duty at the academic affairs office. She immediately asked upon seeing Lin Xin knocking on the door, "Fellow student, how may I help you?"

"Hi, I'm a new teacher. Dean Chen told me that I could get the teaching materials and arrange my accommodation here."

"A new teacher?!" The lady was stunned for a second before snapping back to her senses shortly after that. "Please show me your teaching certificate."

Lin Xin projected her certificate immediately. The lady scanned it with her Emperor's Heart Ring and saw Lin Xin's document right away.

'Ling Xue, 16 years old, gold-level rank-3 combat strength…' The more the lady read, the more surprised she was. 'Arranged to teach firearms in Year 1 Class 2…'

"Alright, the details have been confirmed and recorded. I'll send you the teaching materials now." The lady was sure that Lin Xin came from an honorable family with a powerful background after reading her details.

Lin Xin received the packed documents a moment later.

The lady gushed passionately, "Let's go. I'll bring you to pick an apartment!"

Chapter 914: Yes, Senior

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After she was done settling in, Lin Xin did not stay in Martial Hunter College. Instead, she returned to the hotel room where Lin Huang was.

She planned to ask for some teaching advice, seizing the opportunity since Lin Huang was still around.

Although Lin Huang was the least popular teacher in Year 1 in the beginning, he later became the most popular teacher. It was enough to prove that his teaching method was great.

After spending a day to go through all of the teaching materials, Lin Xin spent the next two days looking at video lessons by rather popular firearms teachers. She came up with questions every day and would ask Lin Huang about it.

"Brother, what if the students refuse to listen to me?"

"That's why you must stand your ground as a teacher. It'll be difficult for you to manage them if you don't have your stance in the beginning," Lin Huang advised, "There are ways you could use appropriately to manage them if you're in a rut."

"Would the students hate me if I'm too strict with them?" Lin Xin raised another concern.

"You're here to be their teacher, not to their friends. The more they learn in your class, the higher the probability of them surviving being a hunter or being in the military after they graduate."

"Also, I saw in the videos that some teachers talk about topics that have nothing to do with firearms, but they're very practical. However, I don't know much about things other than being a firearms master. What should I do?"

"That's why it's important to have a range of knowledge. Make it a habit to read more at the library to get more knowledge. Then, you'll have a wide array of topics to talk about in class." Lin Huang added after he was done, "Since you don't have much now, you could branch the topic out from firearms for now. Go deeper into the topic. You could reveal some related topics that will be taught in Year 2 and Year 3 suitably. Of course, do it at an appropriate amount so that you won't confuse your students. As for your own benefit in the long-term, you should still read more to learn more."

Lin Xin recorded all of those teaching experiences in the little notebook projected from her Emperor's Heart Ring.

On the 26th of February, Martial Hunter College officially opened.

All of the students in Year 2 Class 1 Sword Dao faculty noticed that their No. 1 student in the class, Ling Xue, was absent.

The class was in chaos at the moment.

"Ling Xue isn't coming?"

"It's the first day of school. Could she be involved in something that's dragging her down?" Some of them asked the few girls who stayed in the same dorm as Lin Xin did. They, too, had no idea where Lin Xin had gone.

"That's odd. I saw her a few days ago in school," Nangong Qing said while looking puzzled.

While a few boys were bombarding Nangong Qing with questions, a muscular man walked in. His name was Cao Long and he was the new Sword Dao teacher the college had hired last year. His combat strength was on holy fire-level. He replaced Qin Tianxing and was in charge of teaching Year 2 Class 1 of the Sword Dao faculty.

"Teacher, our classmate Ling Xue isn't here," a boy shouted at Cao Long.

Cao Long was stunned to hear that and recalled the students had no idea that Ling Xue applied for the graduation exam earlier. Now that the students were asking, he had to explain, "Your classmate Ling Xue took the graduation exam before the winter holidays and graduated with full marks in all the subjects."

The students in the class were dumbstruck to hear that piece of news.

Huh? Did she graduate?

We're only halfway through Year 2 and she's graduated?

Moreover, she graduated with full marks in all the subjects!

"But I have good news." Cao Long cleared his throat and said slowly, "Ling Xue has taken up a position in school and she's now the teacher of Year 1 Class 2 of the Firearms faculty." Cao Long had heard there was a pretty teacher in the Firearms faculty who had just come on board early in the morning. The name Ling Xue rang a bell. He thought she merely shared the same name as his student. However, he found out from the sneaky photo his colleague had snapped that she really was his student.

Everyone in class appeared lost upon hearing what Cao Long said.

Huh? Did she come back to be a teacher?

It had to be a lie!

Almost all the students were in disbelief.

"Teacher, I think you're mistaken. They probably happen to have the same name!" A girl could not help but shout.

"I thought so too in the beginning, but I saw the photo my colleague took secr— I saw her photo. It really was Ling Xue." Cao Long almost revealed that her photo had been taken secretly.

"Alright, the class will begin now. We'll speak after class if you guys have any other questions."

Just when chaos stirred in Year 2 Class 1 of the Sword Dao faculty, Year 1 Class 2 of the Firearms faculty welcomed a new teacher.

The students in the class were discussing among themselves when they realized that the girl on the podium was almost the same age as they were.

"Did this student walk into the wrong class?"

"Class should be beginning now. Why isn't the teacher here yet? Is this girl the teacher's family member?"

"Why is she standing on the podium?"

The bell went off, but the teacher was not there yet, so everyone stared in confusion at the girl standing on the podium.

Lin Xin took a deep breath in before speaking, "Hi, everyone. My name's Ling Xue. From today onwards, I'll be the teacher of Year 1 Class 2 of the Firearms faculty…"

The students in Year 1 Class 2 of the Firearms faculty looked lost.

After some simple self-introduction, a boy raised his hand all of a sudden.

Lin Xin nodded at him. "Do you have any questions?"

"Teacher, may I ask how old are you?"

"17." Lin Xin thought to herself that that would not be considered lying since she would be turning 17 next month.

A girl sitting on the front row raised her hand next.

"Go ahead." Lin Xin nodded.

"From what I know, the lowest combat strength for teachers in Martial Hunter College is on gold-level. May I ask what's your combat strength, Miss Ling?" The girl stood up and asked, feeling unconvinced.

"Gold-level rank-3. Next!" Lin Xin pointed at a short and plump girl.

"Teacher, may I ask which school did you graduate from?"

"Martial Hunter College. I graduated last year," Lin Xin said that to sound more convincing since graduating before the New Year would also be considered as last year too.

This time, a girl with braids asked directly without raising her hand, "But our Firearms faculty have never heard of any senior called Ling Xue."

"First of all, please raise your hand before you speak in my class." Lin Xin frowned a little. "Secondly, I wasn't a student in the Firearms faculty. I was in the Sword Dao faculty and firearms was my minor."

At the moment, the girl in braids, who did not raise her hand before speaking, lifted her hand.

"Do speak." Lin Xin looked at her expressionlessly.

"So, you're saying not only are you not from the Firearms faculty, but you're also a Sword Dao student who just graduated last year and has zero teaching experience. Do you think you're qualified to teach us?" The girl in braids was not convinced.

Lin Huang, who was observing that scene using his Divine Telekinesis from two kilometers away, smirked. "Seems like you've encountered a bump. How will you handle that?"

Lin Xin frowned and only spoke after staring at the girl in braids for a moment. "Follow me to the shooting range and you'll find out if I'm qualified or not!" She turned and walked off right after she spoke.

The girl in braids pouted and followed her while everyone else in the class followed them immediately. They soon arrived at the shooting range in high spirits.

Lin Xin got the controller to get a default iron-level gun. She held the gun up and began to shoot as soon as she positioned herself at the specified spot.

Bang, bang, bang!

She opened fire ten times with almost no pause in between. She had full accuracy.

"Take them 100 meters away!" Lin Xin turned her head and shouted at the controller.

The ten targets that were initially 50 meters away were soon moved 100 meters away.

Bang, bang, bang!

She opened ten shots continuously without stopping again. Again, she demonstrated full accuracy.

"200 meters!" Lin Xin shouted.

The controller moved the targets further away again.

Bang, bang, bang!

Still, she performed with full accuracy.

"300 meters!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Full accuracy again.

"Anyone could get fixed targets right. The only difference is just that the distance is further away. I can do that too if I practiced for a year." The girl in braids was still dissatisfied.

Lin Xin glared at the girl in braids for a second and shouted at the controller, "Move them horizontally!"

"Should I shift the distance closer?" The controller asked.

"No need. Keep them at 300 meters."

All of the students in the Firearms faculty had a slight change of expression as soon as they heard what Lin Xin said.

It was difficult to aim a moving target at 100 meters. Looking at the current distance of 300 meters, no one could tell if Lin Xin could shoot any one of them at all, let alone with full accuracy.

Soon, the ten targets beginning to move horizontally 300 meters away.

Lin Xin did not stop. She lifted her hand and fired ten consecutive times with full accuracy!

The Firearms faculty students were dumbfounded now.

This senior really was something!

"Add irregular movement and speed!" Lin Xin shouted again.

All of the students were shocked.

"Coming right up!" The controller took action immediately.

A moment later, the targets were moving in an unpredictable manner.

Finally, Lin Xin did not move immediately this time. Instead, she took a deep breath in before pulling the trigger.

She fired ten consecutive times.

Bang, bang, bang!

The result was out a moment later — full accuracy!

At 300 meters with irregular movement and speed, having fired ten consecutive times, she achieved full accuracy!

All of the students were blown away to see the results. It took them a while to snap back to their senses.

"Senior, you're amazing!"

"Senior, you're a god!"

"Senior, please punish me!" Everyone glared at the boy who said that with disdain as soon as he said that. He corrected himself immediately, "I made a mistake. I meant to say teach me."

"Senior, I give up." The girl in braids was finally convinced and apologized, holding her head down.

"Call me Miss Ling!" Lin Xin put her hands on her hips sternly.

"Yes, Senior."

Chapter 915: Returning to Division 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first class that Lin Xin taught was undoubtedly a success. Despite his worry that she might be overwhelmed by the class, Lin Huang was finally relieved. He then recalled his Divine Telekinesis.

Just when he was ready to practice his sword skills after taking the wooden sword out from his Emperor's Heart Ring, the ring vibrated all of a sudden.

He looked at the communication page. It showed that it was Tang Xu of the Wanbao Auction from Division 3 who was calling.

Lin Huang only picked up the video call after he quickly put a disguise on.

"Sir, didn't you go into the ruins?" Tang Xu seemed to be surprised by the call being picked up.

"No, just say whatever you want to say." Lin Huang's expression was cold.

"I suppose you know that the ruins in Division 1 opened yesterday?" Tang Xu asked.

"I do." Lin Huang nodded and thought to himself, 'Did Tang Xu forget that it was Tang Xu who had informed him about this?'

"I heard this morning that there were many demigods who entered the ruins yesterday," Tang Xu proceeded to say, "I heard that more than 80% of demigods from Division 1 went in while more than half of the demigods in Division 2 and our Division 3 went in."

"Are you trying to say that the auction will be greatly affected?" Lin Huang asked.

"Yes. Judging from the current situation, I think the two god relics would have a higher chance of being bought-in if we carry out the auction as planned."

"It's fine if there's such a case. We'll just sell them again next them. If that doesn't work, I'll put another god relic in next time."

Lin Huang did not want to postpone the auction mainly because he was participating in Dynasty's Royal Trials soon. He wanted to get as many God Figurines as he could before that and try to elevate his combat strength. It would take another month to prepare the auction if it were postponed. He might not be able to go for the Royal Trials if they started the auction after the demigods returned.

Tang Xu raised his brow when he heard that. He was surprised to find that Lin Huang owned another god relic.

The reason he wanted to postpone the auction of the god relics, ignoring his previous announcement was that he wanted to gain fame for the Wanbao Auction using the god relics. However, most demigods were in Division 1's ruins now, so the auction would definitely not turn out as crowded as he expected. As soon as the god relics were bought-in, it would be less attractive if they were put them up for auction them again. Now that Lin Huang said he had more god relics with him, Tang Xu could still advertise a brand new auction with fresh god relics after all of the demigods came out of the ruins. It would not matter if the two god relics in the first auction were bought-in.

"Do you really have another god relic with you?" Tang Xu confirmed carefully.

"I have a few of them," Lin Huang confirmed, "Is there a problem?"

"No, there's no problem." Tang Xu shook his head immediately. "Then, we'll do as you say. We'll run the auction as planned."

After hanging up Tang Xu's call, Lin Huang removed the disguise and proceeded to practice his sword skills.

For the next few days, Lin Huang spent most of his time practicing. Occasionally, he would check on Lin Xin.

On the second day of school, the students from Year 2 Class 1 Sword faculty came to the Firearms faculty when Lin Xin was preparing for her class in the office. The few boys pretended to pass by and checked her out in the office.

Lin Xin noticed the eyes watching her and saw a few familiar people as she lifted her head. She put the documents away and walked out while smiling.

"My old classmates, I guess you guys found out about it, huh?"

"Sir Cao told us yesterday, but we didn't really believe him." Nangong Qing forced a smile. As the second in class, he had always thought that he was almost on par with Lin Xin. Now, it seemed like their difference was like heaven and earth.

"Ling Xue, you're really staying to be a teacher!" A girl was still in disbelief.

"Yes, initially I wanted to contact you guys during the weekend to get together and tell you guys about this."

"I heard from Sir Cao that your combat strength is already on gold-level rank-3." He Lili, who used to stay in the same dorm as Lin Xin, asked with her eyes opened wide.

"Yes, I'm on gold-level rank-3 now."

"I'm sure that Mu Xiao's so mad now. He's just broken through to silver-level rank-3," said a boy while smirking.

Lin Xin only responded with a smile upon hearing that. The fellow who had declared that he would become a transcendent before turning 18 and become No. 1 in Division 7 was destined to have his dreams crushed.

Lin Xin realized it was time for class after chatting with her old classmates for a while. They then ended their conversation.

"I've just accustomed to my job these few days, and it's been rather hectic. Let's get together this weekend. We'll talk more by then."

Apart from this mini-episode, Lin Xin's life was peaceful throughout the past few days.

She would prepare her class well beforehand. Although there was still a lot to improve in her teaching, she was developing each time she taught. Moreover, her students loved her and called her "Senior". Sometimes her old classmates from Year 2 Class 1 of the Sword Dao faculty would do a sit-in.

The teachers who were in the same office took care of this fresh young lady.

Apart from teaching, Lin Xin spent most of her time in the library. She took Lin Huang's suggestion to widen her knowledge every day, hoping that she could do better in teaching.

The staff apartment that she picked was the same block Lin Huang used to live in. The unit that Lin Huang had been staying in before collapsing from the battle and nobody stayed in there ever since it was rebuilt. Although there was nothing that belonged to Lin Huang in there, Lin Xin picked the unit that her brother used to live in without hesitation.

With the Witch and Little 7's company, she did not feel lonely in the apartment. She had her students and old classmates in the college. Furthermore, her life was getting more and more enriching.

Seeing that Lin Xin's life was getting on track gradually, Lin Huang knew it was time for him to leave.

On the 2nd of March, he accompanied Lin Xin around the White Capital for the whole day. They headed out before 8 a.m. and only returned to the hotel past midnight, having bought a bunch of practical and impractical stuff.

Lin Xin knew that her brother was leaving.

On the morning of the 3rd of March, Lin Huang finally told her that he was leaving. "I'm leaving now, silly girl. Take good care of yourself."

"Mmm." Lin Xin nodded lightly. There was not much emotion on her face.

After summoning a dimensional portal, Lin Huang stepped into it and waved at Lin Xin. The dimensional portal closed slowly.

After Lin Huang disappeared completely, Lin Xin tightened her fists. "I'll definitely elevate to the immortal-level as soon as I can!"

Hundreds of kilometers away, Lin Huang got out of the dimensional portal and arrived at the White Capital's long-distance dimensional portal.

Looking at the gravely long queue at the long-distance dimensional portal, he sighed slightly, "I'm too late."

He went into the toilet and disguised as Lin Xie, and spent a few minutes to change into a new set of clothes. When he returned to the queue, he realized it was a couple of meters longer than before now.

He shook his head helplessly, entering the queue as the last person.

Around one and a half hours later, Lin Huang finally stepped into the dimensional portal with another 29 people. They disappeared from a moment later.

Chapter 916: Handling the Loot

The long-distance dimensional portal traveling from Division 7 to Division 3 was located in Sweep City.

After walking out of the dimensional portal, Lin Huang did not head straight to Wanbao City. Instead, he disguised himself in a hidden corner without surveillance.

He changed his physique, features, and clothes. He then put on a demigod relic mask with a disguise function, changing his aura to imperial-level black gold-rank.

After making sure there were no flaws in his disguise, he headed straight to the black market of Sweep City.

Lin Huang walked into a store and spoke directly when a lady attendant welcomed him, "I'm looking for Hu Lu."

"Sure, please follow me." The attendant could tell he was a regular customer from his tone, so she brought him to Hu Lu's room on the second floor immediately.

Lin Huang entered and took a careful look at Hu Lu. "Are you Hu Lu? A friend recommended me, saying that you're reliable."

"Thanks for your friend's compliment," Hu Lu said without humbling herself, "Please take a seat, Sir. Do tell me what you need."

"I have a bunch of stuff to sell." Lin Huang sat across Hu Lu, teasing flashing through his eyes under the mask. "I wonder if you guys would dare to take them or not."

"Could you tell me about the source roughly?" Hu Lu asked, "You don't have to tell me which organization exactly they're from just yet. Just roughly tell me about them and what are the items that you're getting rid of."

"Most of the items come from top underground organizations." Lin Huang smirked, but Hu Lu could not see that since there was a mask on his face. "The most troublesome one among these items would probably be a Holy Son's stuff."

Hu Lu's pupils shrunk upon hearing the first sentence. Then, her face turned pale all of a sudden upon hearing the last sentence. She could tell that Lin Huang was not joking with her.

"Sir, we daren't accept them if the items really are from the organization that you mentioned." Hu Lu forced a smile while shaking her head.

Disappointment flashed through Lin Huang's eyes and he stood up right away. "It's fine if you don't accept them. I won't force you."

"Sir, please don't leave just yet." Seeing that Lin Huang was leaving, Hu Lu stopped him immediately. "We can't accept them, but I know a place that will."

Lin Huang stopped walking and turned around. "Do tell."

"The Exotic Treasure Pavilion in Wanbao City."

"What's the background of this place?" Lin Huang proceeded to ask.

"It's opened by the heretics. They take anything as long as the items don't belong to their Virgen."

"Do you charge for this piece of information?" Lin Huang asked wearing a smirk.

"No, many people know about the Exotic Treasure Pavilion. It's not a piece of valuable information."

"Don't tell me that the organization behind you guys is by the heretics too?" Lin Huang took a stab at Hu Lu's background.

"We're only considered as their underling's branch." Hu Lu nodded, admitting in all honesty.

"Thanks." Lin Huang turned around and left right away.

Hu Lu's soft voice came from behind. "Please visit us in the future if you can, Sir."

"Sure!" Lin Huang did not even turn his head as he left after saying that monosyllabic answer.

After leaving the black market of Sweep City, Lin Huang summoned a dimensional portal after making sure that nobody was watching or following him. He then stepped into it.

When he stepped out of the dimensional portal, he arrived at Wanbao City.

Since he arrived, he headed straight to the black market and very soon, he found the Exotic Treasure Pavilion.

He was then guided to a room after informing the customer service personnel at the front counter that he had something to sell.

"Sir, could you show us the items that you're selling?" The receptionist was an old man with white hair.

"Do you guys really take anything at all?" Lin Huang did not bring out the items right away. He wanted to make sure they were really keen.

"Oh, we take anything." The old man nodded in determination.

"Do you accept items from top underground organization's Holy Son and elders?" Lin Huang proceeded to question.

The old man looked at Lin Huang and nodded. "We accept those too."

"That's great then." Lin Huang then passed a storage ring containing a barrage of loot to the old man.

Apart from some useful elixirs, a few types of expensive rare minerals, and a few ancient-level telekinesis weapon relics that he had put aside for himself, he got Bloody to categorize all the relics, miscellaneous items, elixirs, and minerals from grade-1 to ancient-level in the ring.

The old man soon saw the two ancient-level combat sword relics belonging to Dynasty's Seventh Prince when he was going through the items. There were pieces of equipment that clearly came from Dynasty, Charm, the Purple Crow, Saint, and other organizations. There were even a few items from the heretics.

The old man could not help but have a slight change of expression when he saw those items. Looking at that plunder alone, he knew that the man in the mask before him had killed at least hundreds of underground organization members. Not only that, most of them were on the immortal-level while some were on the imperial-level.

The old man came up with such speculation mainly because Lin Huang did not bring out those demigod-level items. Otherwise, the old man would have known that the sheer number of imperial-level powerhouses Lin Huang killed was beyond his imagination.

After spending over 20 minutes to count the items three times, the old man finally came up with the final figure.

He had calculated the price of the items.

"Sir, among the items that you've brought today, there are a total of 1,128 ancient relics, 161 supreme relics; a total of 37 types of elixirs including 36,521 bottles of ancient-level healing elixirs, 587,951 supreme-grade healing elixirs; 26 types of minerals including 24,579 ton of iron ore. The final price for the items would be 78.7 billion Life Crystals."

"Why don't you round it up to 80 billion for me?" Lin Huang suggested shamelessly.

"I can't do that…" The old man looked troubled. "The most we could offer is to round it up to 79 billion."

"Alright, 79 billion then." Lin Huang did not bother to bargain further. In reality, he knew that they earned twice what they offered for this deal, but the items were shady after all. The items could not be sold at auctions or markets, so the price could not go any higher.

If they could be sold at markets, the price would at least double. If they went all the way to auctions, the price would at least triple.

After the deal was done, Lin Huang stood up right after receiving the Life Crystals in his account. He did not bother to say anything more to the old man.

The old man, on the other hand, said in a friendly manner while smiling, "Please come again."

Lin Huang removed his disguise in an area without surveillance. He turned his face back to Lin Xie's and headed straight to somewhere around the Wanbao Auction. He checked into a hotel called Wanguo Hotel.

Initially, he planned to stay at the Wanbao Auction's S-class VIP room, but Yi Yeyu said that she had arrived on the 1st of March and had booked her stay at Wanguo Hotel, so Lin Huang decided to stay in the same hotel as she did.

After checking in, Lin Huang removed his disguise upon going into the room. He then called Yi Yeyu to ask which room she was staying in.

However, the call was cut off directly before the first tone even rang.

He received a message a moment later. 'I'm busy shopping now. I'll contact you when I'm back at the hotel.' It was Yi Yeyu's style indeed.

Lin Huang shook his head, wearing a smile while feeling helpless. He replied to her message, 'I'm already at Wanguo Hotel. My room number is 3303.'

Chapter 917: Slightly More Handsome Than Your Brother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lin Huang was practicing his sword skills in the room at past five in the afternoon, someone knocked on his door all of a sudden. He saw Yi Yeyu and Yi Zheng standing at the door when he opened it.

Yi Yeyu was stunned when she saw him in his disguise. "Did we get the wrong room?" She peered up at the room number and looked suspiciously at Lin Huang.

"It's the correct one. Let's go in." Yi Zheng did not bother explaining.

"It's me. I'm just disguising as another identity of mine," Lin Huang had just recalled that he was under disguise. He changed back into his original look immediately.

"I thought I got the wrong room." Yi Yeyu only walked in then.

Yi Zheng followed her but trained his eyes on Lin Huang. He only spoke hesitantly a moment later, "Has your combat strength elevated to immortal-level rank-4?"

Yi Yeyu only realized that about him. Then, she looked at Lin Huang too.

Lin Huang nodded while smiling. "Yes, I've elevated to immortal-level rank-4 now."

"The speed of your combat strength elevation insane." Yi Zheng had no idea what else to say now. "It was the end of August when we last met. It's only been half a year and you've already elevated from immortal-level rank-1 to immortal-level rank-4. That's a three-rank leap. You elevated a rank every two months on average."

"Have you elevated to immortal-level rank-2 now?" Lin Huang could tell that Yi Zheng was on immortal-level rank-2.

"I spent half a year and finally got the opportunity to go into the ruins. I've just elevated a few days ago." Yi Zheng thought that his elevation speed could not compare with Lin Huang's at all.

"No wonder I couldn't contact you before the New Year. Was it because you were in the ruins?" Lin Huang raised his brow.

"Yes, I've just come out a few days ago," Yi Zheng confirmed, "I heard that Xiao Yu was coming to Wanbao City, so I came for her."

"Which ruins did you go to?" Lin Huang asked rather curiously.

"It's a grade-3 ruin shared with the Combat God Alliance and a few other genius organizations. The highest combat strength for monsters was just immortal-level rank-9. Those who participated in the exploration were all low-level and mid-level immortal-levels," Yi Zheng explained.

"The Combat God Alliance?" Lin Huang thought hard and realized that he had never heard of such a genius organization.

"It's normal not to have heard of it. The Combat God Alliance is Division 3's local organization," Yi Zheng revealed while smiling.

He only realized what a formidable organization the Heaven Alliance which Lin Huang was talking about after joining the Genius Union. He had also asked around about the entry requirements to get into the Heaven Alliance. In the end, he was too embarrassed to join the Heaven Alliance using Lin Huang's name. If his abilities were not so mediocre, perhaps he might choose to pull some strings and catch up to other members slowly. However, the issue was that the entry requirements for the Heaven Alliance were too high. He figured he would not pass any of the tests after looking at the contents of the tests, so he gave up immediately. He selected a few local Division 3 organizations instead and eventually got accepted into the Combat God Alliance after participating in the exam.

It was Chan Dou who had invited Lin Huang to join the Heaven Alliance. He had no idea what the exam entailed. Naturally, he had no idea what the exact reason why Yi Zheng gave up on joining the Heaven Alliance was. However, since he chose to join that organization, Lin Huang did not ask any further.

"It's great to join Division 3's local organization. There are only a few Heaven Alliance members in Division 3, so there aren't many resources." Although Lin Huang said the truth, he was comparing resources with the top organizations including the Divine Alliance, the Hong Alliance, and the Tang Alliance.

However, to Yi Zheng, the Heaven Alliance's resources were worthy of being envied. Although there were not many Heaven Alliance members in Division 3, the Heaven Alliance would definitely be given the permission to enter the ruins whenever one opened in Division 3.

"Oh yeah, it's been a long time since you've logged into Genius Union." Yi Zheng did not want to dwell on the upsetting topic, so he changed the subject instead.

"I think it's been four to five months since I last logged in." Lin Huang counted to himself and nodded subsequently. "I was very busy the few months before the New Year and I've been practicing my sword skills after that."

"No wonder I don't see your name on the Stairway Tree this year," Yi Zheng said while grinning.

"The scoreboard refreshes every 1st of January, am I right?" Lin Huang just remembered that the Stairway Tree scoreboard would be refreshed annually.

"The Stairway Tree scoreboard is calculated annually. It'll be refreshed every year at midnight on the 1st of January. Then, everyone will have zero points on the scoreboard," Yi Zheng confirmed.

The zero points Yi Zheng was referring to was just on the scoreboard. All of the accumulated points would be stored in everyone's accounts. As long as it was unused, the points would be kept year after year. It would only be cleared completely when the member elevated to imperial-level and was removed from the Genius Union.

"Everyone in the Genius Union has been talking that you haven't been slaying monsters on the Stairway Tree these few months," Yi Zheng proceeded to speak, "Many of them say that checkpoint 56 is your limit. You could've only stayed on that checkpoint if you planned to continue winning points. Some even started a bet, speculating on which checkpoint you could reach. Most people are betting on checkpoint 56. It's the one with most bets for now while the second would be checkpoint 58. Nobody's betting on a checkpoint that's higher than that."

"They're doing that?" Lin Huang raised his brow curiously. "What are the odds like?"

"1:1.05 for checkpoint 56, 1:1.25 for checkpoint 58, 1:10 for checkpoint 61, and 1:100 for checkpoint 63."

'I think I've found a way to make a large sum of money again.' Lin Huang smirked.

"When do you plan to hunt on the Stairway Tree?" Yi Zheng was excited too.

"After the auction ends, I guess," Lin Huang was thrilled to kill monsters on the Stairway Tree after getting new God Figurines in order to elevate his new God Figurines' Combat Souls quickly.

Although the Genius Union was a virtual world, the things obtained from the Stairway Tree were real. Apart from monsters turning into broken pieces after being killed and the person not being able to obtain the monster carcasses, the rest was the same with reality. Lin Huang could obtain card pieces as well as complete Monster Cards by killing monsters on the Stairway Tree. He could replenish Life Power for Bai and the rest and also replenish spiritual energy for his God Figurines' Combat Souls.

Yi Yeyu had been listening to their conversation and she was getting more and more interested when both of them were talking about the Genius Union. As an offspring of an honorable family, it was natural to have heard of the Genius Union. However, she had no idea that Lin Huang and her brother had become a member of Genius Union.

"Can I join that Genius Union?" Yi Yeyu asked with anticipation.

Yi Zheng glanced at his sister. No matter whether it was qualification or talent, Yi Yeyu was definitely qualified. However, she was still lacking combat abilities to be a genius. Even if she joined the Genius Union, the chances of any organization wanting her were slim.

"Sure, your qualifications and talents are definitely up to standard." However, Lin Huang, who was standing aside, nodded and said directly, "If you're willing to join the Heaven Alliance, I'll ask Chan Dou to get someone in Division 3 to guide you in your cultivation."

"Chan Dou of the Five Princes? You know him?" Yi Zheng asked with his eyes wide open.

"Of course I know him! He's the chief of our Heaven Alliance." Lin Huang thought there was nothing extraordinary about it.

"But I heard that Chan Dou's very secretive and hardly shows up at the Genius Union. Apart from the Heaven Alliance's high management, most of the people wouldn't even see him once in a few years."

"Where did you hear that from? I'm not in the Heaven Alliance's high management, but I've seen him a few times in a year. Of course, I've never seen him in real life. I've only seen him in the Genius Union's video projections." Lin Huang thought what Yi Zheng heard was just a rumor.

"What're the Five Princes?" Yi Yeyu could not help but interrupt.

"The most powerful five people below imperial-level in the entire continent. They're also the most powerful powerhouses among the young generation," Yi Zheng explained immediately.

"Is Chan Dou handsome?" Yi Yeyu's gossip mode was turned on immediately.

Yi Zheng stopped talking all of a sudden. He had never seen how Chan Dou looked like after all.

Lin Huang thought for a moment and answered, "I think he's slightly more handsome than your brother." He thought that his comment was very objective.

Yi Zheng was speechless. 'Why am I being compared?'

Yi Yeyu turned to look at Yi Zheng disgustedly. She then turned to look at Lin Huang and said in excitement, "Do you have his picture?"

"Yes, that's him in his profile picture," Lin Huang said and opened his address book. He found Chan Dou's contact details.

Yi Yeyu's eyes lit up when he projected Chan Dou's photo. "He's so handsome! He's so much more handsome than my brother!"

Yi Zheng thought he was being given the cold shoulder. 'Why am I being compared to again? Also, how is Chan Dou much more handsome than me!? He's just a teeny-tiny more handsome than me!'

Chapter 918: The Auction Began

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After meeting Yi Yeyu and Yi Zheng, Lin Huang had been practicing his sword skills in the room alone apart from the time they spent having dinner together.

On the night before the auction began, he finally learned all of the over 1,300 legendary-level sword skills that he obtained. He had mastered close to 1,600 legendary-level sword skills in total. However, he could clearly feel that his Sword Dao was still very far away from breaking through level-6.

On the 8th of March, the Wanbao Auction finally officially began.

Lin Huang used Lin Xie's identity when he brought Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu to enjoy the VIP treatment. They went into an S-class VIP room.

However, Lin Huang was put into Room S7 this time. It was clear that there were six VIP members who had come before he did.

'If all six people in the S-class VIP rooms are demigods, there's a high possibility that the two god relics can be sold this time.' Lin Huang began to anticipate secretly.

Yi Yeyu was walking around after getting into the VIP room. She returned to the deck and said to Lin Huang after she was done with her stroll, "My brother told me that you're doing well in Division 3 and I doubted that. It seems like you really are doing superbly. Staying a night in this VIP room is at least three times more than the room we stayed in at Wanguo Hotel. The price isn't the most important part. I'm afraid not any Tom, Dick and Harry are eligible to stay here."

"I've sold something at the auction before, so the owner gave me a VIP card," Lin Huang explained simply.

However, Yi Zheng thought to himself secretly, 'He was selling a few demigod relics, which was why the owner gave him a VIP card, but he said it like it was no big deal…'

"Yi Zheng, you're living in Division 3 too. Look at how great his life is! What about you?" Yi Yeyu turned her head and said to Yi Zheng who was sitting on the other side.

Being dragged into this for no reason, Yi Zheng went speechless as he thought to himself, 'I didn't say anything. Why is this about me now?'

"I came to Division 3 half a year before your brother did after all." Lin Huang tried to get Yi Zheng out of the situation while beaming.

"How was that half a year early? You came in April and he came at the end of August. That's just over four months." Yi Yeyu exposed the true time difference mercilessly.

Yi Zheng felt weary inside. His sister had changed. She used to always cling onto him and call him "Brother". He had always been her role model.

Now, she called him by his name directly and often compared him with others. He missed his sister who was once so naive…

Lin Huang was secretly glad. 'Luckily, my sister isn't like this.'

"The auction has begun!" Yi Zheng finally found the opportunity to change the subject when he saw the auctioneer walked onto the stage. People occupied the hall beneath when it was almost nine o'clock.

Fortunately, Yi Yeyu's focus shifted to the auctioneer and she did not dwell on the previous topic.

The auctioneer of the Wanbao Auction this time was a lady with a sensual figure.

In terms of appearance, she was not considered a top beauty. She had red, wavy hair that reached her breasts. A grayish-black slim-fit shirt hugged her top while the buttons above her breasts were opened. It was pretty revealing as her breasts were half exposed.

For her bottom, she wore a pair of white, slim-fit capri pants. Although her long legs were a little less alluring than Yi Yeyu's, they were almost on the same standard.

There was a pair of red heels on her feet, while a diamond size of an adult thumb and a few small diamonds were mounted on the back of each of her heels.

Yi Yeyu took a good look at the auctioneer up and down and eventually stopped at her breasts. She looked like she had ill intentions.

Her own bust size was admirable, but compared to the lady, she was slightly less impressive.

'Big wavy hair and flashing her boobs on purpose… She's not even wearing a bra. I can tell she's a bimbo!' Naturally, Yi Yeyu did not say that out loud. She was just thinking to herself.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang and Yi Zheng who were sitting next to Yi Yeyu fixed their eyes on the auctioneer. They had not looked away since she went up onto the stage.

Naturally, Yi Yeyu noticed that and she was getting pissed.

The lady auctioneer gave a simple self-introduction on the stage.

"Welcome, all honorable guests to our Wanbao Auction today! My name's Yun Mei'er and I'm the auctioneer of this round. I'll be hosting and showing all of you all kinds of treasures for the next five days. I hope every one of you can bring home the treasures that you desire…"

"This lady seems to be a born sycophant," Lin Huang muttered softly all of a sudden.

It was clear that Tang Xu had put some effort into this auction earlier since he hired an auctioneer who was born an obedient person. He figured Tang Xu must have hired her much earlier before finding out about the opening of the grade-7 ruins in Division 1.

"What does 'born sycophant' mean?" Yi Yeyu, who was sitting beside him, heard Lin Huang's muttering and could not help but to ask.

"It's a unique physique that someone is born with," Lin Huang explained, "People who possess such a physique will attract the attention of opposite sex without trying."

Lin Huang left out a part of the explanation. People who were born sycophants would give an irresistible vibe to the opposite sex as long as there was body contact. They could even cause love at first sight, giving the illusion that one must own them to be fulfilled in life.

People with such a physique would be best at cultivating charm-type methods and skills.

"She really is a bimbo!" Yi Yeyu spat out the comment that she had secretly harboring earlier out loud after hearing half of Lin Huang's explanation.

However, Lin Huang could tell that this auctioneer called Yun Mei'er did not use any charm-type techniques at all at the moment. Her extraordinary physique alone attracted the attention of all males present.

The only people who would not be affected at all would probably be powerhouses above imperial-level.

Yi Zheng only realized that something was off after hearing the conversation between Lin Huang and Yi Yeyu. He just found out that he was attracted by the lady auctioneer without even realizing it. Although it was just affecting him indistinctly, he had his guard up immediately.

"Weren't you indulging in gazing at that lady? Why aren't you staring anymore?" Yi Yeyu teased, noticing that Yi Zheng had snapped back to his senses.

"I'm not interested in this item." Yi Zheng made himself an excuse and implied that he had not been looking at the auctioneer earlier, but the item next to the auctioneer.

Yi Yeyu scoffed and turned to look at the auction beneath instead of dwelling on that.

The first mystery collector's item was finally revealed on the auction stage. It was a notebook that was twice the size of a palm.

"This is the first collector's item we have for today, demigod Song Tiandao's notebook." The auction had officially begun. Yun Mei'er appeared to be tremendously professional as she began to describe the item. "Perhaps many people aren't familiar with demigod Song Tiandao, so I'll give a brief introduction of his life.

"Song Tiandao's real name is Song Wuque. He was a powerful sword cultivator during ancient times. Before failing to elevate to a god, he could only be considered an outstanding sword cultivator. Since he failed in his elevation, he spent a lot of time studying Sword Dao after becoming a demigod and achieved Sword Dao divinity eventually. It was said that he could kill gods with his body as a demigod…"

Lin Huang could not help but sat up straight when he listened to this narration. He was very interested in the notebook.

Besides Lin Huang, many people clearly had their interest piqued.

"But I must inform you about this before I begin the bid. There's nothing special about this notebook itself. The reason it managed to be kept until now is mainly that it was put away in a wooden box in the storage ring. Secondly, the notebook contents don't include any complete sword skills and neither is there any inheritance. It looks more like a notebook with random scribbles." Yun Mei'er's additional explanation made most of the buyers lose interest immediately.

However, Lin Huang's burning desire in his eyes remained. He wanted to get his hand on the notebook.

"This demigod notebook starts at 100 million Life Crystals and the raise must be at least five million Life Crystals each time!"

Chapter 919: The Happy-Go-Lucky Sir Song

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After some intense bidding, Lin Huang successfully bid for the first item at the Wanbao Auction this time at 360 million Life Crystals.

It was proven that this demigod notebook had a high value to sword cultivators. Its bid skyrocketed to a price that was comparable with an ancient telekinetic weapon, but eventually, the other buyers gave up.

"You spent 360 million for a notebook? Man, you're loaded!" Yi Yeyu thought that Lin Huang was definitely wasting his money.

"I think the auctioneer exaggerated about this item. What Sword Dao divinity? I think she's just saying whatever comes to her mind. A demigod killing a Virtual God sounds like nonsense to me." Yi Zheng who was sitting aside was on the same side with his sister this time. "Demigod's just an imperial-level powerhouse with a little Divine Power in their body while a Virtual God's a real god, a whole life on the next level. It's just like how it's impossible for an ant to kill an elephant no matter what."

"Brother Zheng, you're wrong this time." Lin Huang shook his head while smiling. "As long as one can master the right amount of power, not only demigods, but even an ordinary imperial-level powerhouse would be able to kill a god."

"My master once told me that one would reach the true meaning of Martial Dao as soon as one breaks through level-6 Martial Dao. Even most Virtual Gods have never mastered the power with such a condition. It's said that the power not only made killing Virtual Gods possible, but it could also even wound a True God," Lin Huang repeated what Mr. Fu said. "What the auctioneer said about Song Tiandao being a Sword Dao divinity who could kill Virtual Gods with the body of a demigod is possibly true."

"If this Sir Song really did master the true meaning of Sword Dao when he was alive, this notebook of his is worth looking at. I won't be considered to be at a loss if I could learn something from it."

"Did Mr. Fu really tell you that?" Yi Zheng still refused to believe that.

"Do you think there's a need for me to make such a thing up?" Lin Huang retorted.

"One will reach the true meaning of Martial Dao as soon as one breaks through level-6 Martial Dao…" Yi Zheng held his head low and recorded the sentence in the notebook in his Emperor's Heart Ring.

"Lin Huang, which level of Sword Dao are you on now?" Yi Yeyu, who was standing aside, could not help but ask all of a sudden. "I remember you were already on level-4 last year. Did you break through again this year?"

Even Yi Zheng lifted his head to look at Lin Huang hearing that question.

"Do you guys want to hear a lie or the truth?" Lin Huang asked while smirking.

"What would be the lie? Level-4?" Yi Zheng figured faintly that Lin Huang should have broken through again.

"Level-5," Lin Huang answered, wearing a smile.

Hearing that, Yi Zheng figured that Lin Huang must not have broken through and just remained on level-4. It would be best that he did not ask further.

However, Yi Yeyu did not notice that and insisted on probing further, "What about the truth?"

"The truth would be level-6." Lin Huang thought that he had nothing to hide with the siblings.

Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu were dumbstruck when they heard the answer. Yi Zheng only asked after a moment later, "Are you really on level-6 now?"

"Yes, I've just broken through a few days ago," Lin Huang confirmed.

"No wonder Mr. Fu told you about the true meaning of Martial Dao…" Now Yi Zheng finally believed that Lin Huang did not make up the true meaning of Martial Dao.

"Which means that you'll be able to kill Virtual Gods as soon as your Sword Dao breaks through further?!" Yi Yeyu asked with her eyes wide opened.

"That would only mean I'll have techniques to kill Virtual Gods, but not necessarily have the ability to kill," Lin Huang explained, "After all, powerhouses on demigod-level are so much more powerful than I am in all aspects. My vision might not be able to catch their movements.

"Furthermore, it's extremely difficult to break through from level-6 Sword Dao to grasp the true meaning of Sword Dao. I've no idea how to achieve that at the moment."

"Then, this notebook's the perfect purchase for you. It might really help you to break through if you learn something from it." Yi Zheng took a supportive stance compared to his initial opposition.

"It seems like you must have this notebook no matter if it's useful or not. You'll strike gold if it's useful!" Yi Yeyu changed her mind too.

The auction beneath them proceeded with enthusiasm.

Lin Huang had no interest in that. He paid even before the auction ended and got the staff to send the notebook over.

He began to flip through it and read it as soon as it got into his hands. Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu joined him to read as well but they soon gave up.

"It really is just a notebook recording the author's daily life." Yi Yeyu was a little disappointed.

"It wouldn't be obvious even if that demigod really hid some secret in this notebook. Otherwise, the auction wouldn't have exaggerated this and sold it like a god relic." Yi Zheng, on the other hand, was patient. "You should look at it again and again when you have the time. You might be able to uncover the secret in this notebook."

Lin Huang stared at the notebook in his hand and flipped it from the first page to the last. He had an unusual feeling. This feeling had nothing to do with Sword Dao but had something to do with the person, Song Tiandao, himself.

'This Song Tiandao seemed to be a traveler…'

The main reason why Lin Huang had such a feeling was that the scribbles in the notebook were like deja vu coming from an online friend.

"The sky's so blue, the air's so fresh. This world's amazing!"

"I saw a person selling pancakes by the road. The pancakes didn't look appetizing at all. I wouldn't have bought any if not for the lady boss's long legs. The pancakes were surprisingly good! I ended up buying all of the pancakes she had. Mmm, so good! What long legs! I don't know what's that. Don't disturb me when I'm eating my pancakes!"

"Met a troll today who insists that demigods can't kill Virtual Gods, I… didn't find any virtual god-level monsters after looking around. I'll show him that it's possible next time!"

"It's the New Year today. I'm so bored. Oh, I saw a dragonkin a few days ago. It's completely red in color and so fat that it looks like a huge koi that weighs millions of tonnes. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have eaten it. I might have my luck turn around this year if I had kept it."

"Killed a sea king monster today! I think I had food poisoning from that. I was so high! It felt like my life has reached its climax, kind of like my life has peaked! It's majestic! It's dazzling! It's beautiful!"

However, apart from figuring that the person might be a traveler, Lin Huang did not find anything related to cultivation in this notebook. Besides Sword Dao, Song Wuque mentioned nothing about cultivation in this notebook.

It was all his daily scribbles of his life in this notebook, including some grumbles, complaints and occasionally some artistic, pretentious sentences. It looked more like quotes from QQ or stuff that was written in WeChat's "moments" section.

'It seems like this Sir was really a foodie when he was still alive. Most of the stuff recorded in this notebook has something to do with food,' Lin Huang complained helplessly. Looking at the notes, Sir Song was pretty much a happy-go-lucky person who had zero superiority.

'Seems like my 360 million really has gone to waste this time…'

Chapter 920: The Opening Item on the Fifth Day

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The auction went on for the next few days.

However, Lin Huang did not see any collectors' items that he was interested in, so he did not bid at all. On the other hand, Yi Zheng got an ancient sword relic for Yi Yeyu.

Lin Huang had been flipping through Song Wuque's notebook for the past few days and was sure that Sir Song was definitely a traveler.

Moreover, looking at the various details hidden in this notebook, Sir Song seemed to have taken over demigod Song Wuque's body as a soul after Song Wuque failed to elevate to Virtual God.

'This explains why Sir Song only had extraordinary Sword Dao before but became a Sword Dao divinity all of a sudden.' Lin Huang came up with a conclusion.

After all, according to what Xiao Hei said earlier, a real traveler would be given a Goldfinger.

Indeed, a demigod who had a Goldfinger and achieved the true meaning of Sword Dao was nothing remarkable.

Apart from confirming Sir Song's identity, Lin Huang did not find any relevant information on cultivation after flipping through the notebook a couple of times.

The only clue was the few location names in the notes, but those were places in ancient times. He failed to find out anything about the exact location of those places on the Heart Network. He planned to ask someone to find out for him when he had the time. He would find the opportunity to travel to those places if he really found out the coordinates.

Time flew by, four days had passed since the auction began.

Many collector's items broke the record whereby they were sold at a high price throughout the four days. All of the bidders were terribly enthusiastic.

Many people knew that the main reason that caused this phenomenon was because of the sale of the two god relics which attracted many rich bidders. Many of them among the people had no God Figurines, so they lost the eligibility to bid. However, they wanted to see how the legendary god relics looked like and witness the god relics being auctioned off. One must know that it had been over 30 years since Division 1 last auctioned off god relics.

These people were not eligible to bid for god relics, but they were loaded. They wanted to see if there was anything that they were interested in at the auction, so they offered prices as they wished to fulfill their desire to spend.

The situation caught the auctioneer Yun Mei'er a little off guard. She had hosted many auctions and sold over 70% of the items here before. Naturally, she knew the average price of each item. Upon calculating secretly, she discovered that most of the collector's items that were auctioned off throughout the four days were sold at a minimum of 20% more than their average price.

Naturally, she knew her charm was not the selling factor. After thinking to herself, she soon found out that it must be the effect of the two god relics. She could not help but secretly exclaim how tempting god relics were compared to women.

On the fourth day after the auction ended, Lin Huang followed Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu to dinner. Lin Huang finally put the notebook belonged to that Sir Song away.

"Why did you put it away? Did you find out about something?" Yi Zheng asked rather curiously.

"I didn't find anything at all. It's just a notebook filled with random scribbles no matter how I look at it," Lin Huang said while shaking his head.

"360 million. Man, that's enough to buy a few ancient relics!" Yi Yeyu added fuel to the flame.

"Hey, you supported me on this purchase two days ago!" Lin Huang turned his head to glare at the fickle-minded lady.

"I supported you under the premise that it's useful, but isn't it useless now?" Yi Yeyu was not embarrassed by her firm comment at all.

"It's okay. Study it again and again. Sir Song might have hidden some secrets in there," Yi Zheng comforted.

"I'm afraid that the chances of that are low. I've used my Life Power and telekinesis power on it. The only thing I've not done is disassemble the sentences and decode them like passwords." Lin Huang held no high hopes on that. He had other ways to elevate his Sword Dao anyway. Moreover, he was still far away from breaking through level-6 Sword Dao, so there was no rush about that.

The Wanbao Auction had finally come to an end on the fifth day.

Early in the morning, Lin Huang and the rest had a relaxed breakfast. When they sat down at the deck, there was already a crowd amassed at the auction. It was a full house half an hour before the auction even began.

"Everyone's so enthusiastic today." Yi Yeyu clearly felt that the atmosphere was different from the previous days.

"It's the last day of the auction today. The final items are two god relics, so of course, people are excited." Yi Zheng nodded while smiling.

"It's just like the last few days at work before the New Year whereby people will enjoy ten days of holidays after that." Lin Huang's explanation was more relatable.

After half an hour of waiting, the auctioneer Yun Mei'er finally walked onto the stage. "It's the fifth day of the auction and the last day of the auction. The two god relics will mark today's finale. They'll only be unveiled at the very last moment of the auction today. Are you guys excited?"

"Yes, we are!" Many of the bidders clamored together. Most of them had come for the god relics.

The siblings beside Lin Huang could not help but show excitement on their faces.

"Of course, apart from the two god relics for our finale today, we have one more surprise." Yun Mei'er paused dramatically on purpose as she spoke. She only continued to speak after seeing the surprised and eager faces of the guests below the stage. "We will also be auctioning eight demigod-level items today!"

Apart from the excited crowd, even Lin Huang could not help but raise his brow upon hearing that.

Among the ten demigod relics that Lin Huang had auctioned with the two god relics, three more demigod relics were auctioned as the final items on the first three days of the auction. They were sold at impressive prices. On the fourth day, the final item was a demigod relic that Lin Huang had never seen before. It must be someone else who had put that up for auction.

However, now that Yun Mei'er said there were eight demigod-level items, it would mean that the Wanbao Auction had another demigod-level item apart from the seven demigod relics that he was selling.

'She said eight demigod-level items, not demigod relics which means that the item isn't a demigod relic!' Lin Huang became excited at that moment.

He had not much interest in demigod relics since he had obtained over 400 of them in the Fallen God Land whereby he got a few sets of demigod-level battle swords, armors, and telekinetic weapons. However, a demigod-level item might be useful to him.

"Alright, I shan't ramble unnecessarily. Now, let's get our staff to present the first collector's item of the day!" After piquing everyone's interest, Yun Mei'er looked at the time and realized it was exactly nine o'clock. She did not waste even a minute and introduced the first item immediately.

As the cloth was unveiled, a white, semi-transparent crystal the size of a fist was revealed.

There was a little monster the size of a small thumb floating faintly in the crystal.

It was like a little fish swimming in rather murky water in a small fish tank.

Although he was not paying attention at first, Lin Huang's eyes lit up suddenly when he saw the item. His mood was stirred that second.

Chapter 921: Extremely Strict Bidding Conditions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The first collector's item that we're auctioning today is one of the eight demigod-level items that I mentioned earlier." The auctioneer Yun Mei'er smirked as she knew that some of the people already recognized the item.

However, most of the people at the auction had no idea what it was. All they heard was that the first opening collector's item was a demigod-level item which attracted their attention even without them trying.

The auction that was initially noisy became completely silent now. Everyone had their eyes trained on the timer next to Yun Mei'er. She then began to introduce it while smiling.

"I'm sure some of our honorable guests already recognize this. Yes, it's a soul crystal. To be exact, it's a demigod-level soul crystal."

Most cultivators knew what a soul crystal was. There were very few items that could replenish spiritual power in this world and soul crystal was the most well-known one.

However, while most cultivators had only heard of such a thing called soul crystal, they had never seen the real thing before. The reason being, the probability of soul crystals dropping from monsters was extremely low. It was much lower than the probability of imperial-level monsters dropping ancient relics from their bodies after they died.

Ever since Lin Huang began cultivating, he had killed at least tens of millions of monsters throughout the three years but he had never experienced any monsters having soul crystals dropping from their bodies. That proved how low the probability was.

Due to the scarcity and the benefit of soul crystals, most people were unwilling to sell it even if they obtained them from killing monsters. Even if they were to sell them, they would do so within their own organizations. It could hardly be found on the market.

That applied only to ordinary soul crystals. It would be even more scarce to find high high-quality ancient-level and demigod-level soul crystals.

Lin Huang figured that it was pretty impossible for the demigod-level soul crystal on the stage to come from an outsider. It might be Tang Xu who got it from the Tang Clan for the auction this time.

Tang Clan was an ancient family, so it was normal for them to possess such a demigod-level soul crystal.

After she was done with the introductions, Yun Mei'er finally named the condition of the auction. "This demigod-level soul crystal won't be sold using Life Crystals. The seller has named this bidding condition: a mid-level demigod archery relic."

Almost everyone who was eager to bid for this item had their hopes crushed as soon as Yun Mei'er named the condition. There were extremely few archery weapons around mainly because there were only a handful of cultivators who focused mainly on archery.

Since demand was low, production was also naturally low. There were limited archery weapons itself, let alone demigod archery relics.

The seller of the demigod-level soul crystal had imposed an extremely strict bidding condition.

However, Lin Huang smirked upon hearing the condition. He happened to have an archery relic in his storage space. that fitted the condition.

'If we're talking about this demigod-level soul crystal's actual value, it's equivalent to the price of a low-level demigod relic. However, since this item's so rare, it will be sold at least 100 billion Life Crystals at auctions. It's reasonable for a mid-level demigod relic to be auctioned at seven to eight billion Life Crystals. I won't be losing anything by trading a mid-level demigod relic with this archery.

'But does Tang Xu not want to sell this soul crystal, which was why he came up with such a strict condition? Maybe he just included the demigod-level soul crystal just to get an auspicious number.' That thought popped into his mind but soon flashed by and was forgotten. 'Who cares? I have an item that fits the condition with me. I'll pretend that I've no idea about his trick and I'll just bid directly. Let's see if he really sells it or not.

'This soul crystal's sufficient for me to elevate one God Figurine to imperial-level purple gold-rank. It's an opportunity that's hard to come by.'

After Yun Mei'er named the condition, nobody made a peep in the entire auction for a while. Just when Yun Mei'er thought the collector's item would be a bought-in, the screen in the 7th VIP room on the third floor lit up.

A voice came from Room S7. "Since nobody's bidding, I'll take it then. I happen to have a mid-level demigod archery relic with me."

Many people looked towards the VIP room where Lin Huang was. Although they could not see anything through the window, they were discussing among themselves.

"Everyone in S-class VIP rooms is really loaded. They even have such rare demigod archery relics."

"Someone who can whip out a demigod relic so easily must be a demigod himself."

An old man with white hair and a beard in Room S1 on the third floor frowned. "I wonder who is in VIP Room S7. I hope we have different goals."

In VIP Room S2, a muscular, short-haired lady narrowed her eyes slightly. "VIP Room S7… Hmm, might be a strong opponent."

The owner of the Wanbao Auction, Tang Xu, who was backstage, had a complicated expression on his face.

Just as Lin Huang expected, Tang Xu had indeed borrowed the demigod-level soul crystal from his family. He wanted to gather eight demigod-level items to make up an auspicious number.

He set the bidding condition to be a mid-level demigod archery relic on purpose, thinking that there should be nobody who could fulfill such strict criteria. If that was the case, the soul crystal would naturally be a bought-in and come back to him again.

How would he have thought that somebody would really have a demigod archery relic that fitted the condition?

What troubled him even more was that the bidder was the disciple of the man who auctioned the two god relics. He could discuss it with the bidder after the auction ended if someone else were to offer a certain amount of compensation and call the deal off. However, he was really reluctant to offend the man's disciple.

If the young man called Lin Xie complained to his master when he returned, Tang Xu would lose his god relic resources completely. He might even lose his demigod relic resources altogether.

He wanted to bring fame to his Wanbao Auction with the man's resources, so he definitely could not afford to offend the disciple.

After some deep thought and struggling, Tang Xu finally made up his mind. He was giving up on the demigod-level soul crystal.

On the stage, Yun Mei'er responded immediately when she noticed the screen of Room S7 light up on the third floor.

"The guest from VIP Room S7 has placed a bid with a mid-level demigod archery relic."

"Is there anyone who wants to raise?" Yun Mei'er looked across everyone and proceeded to speak upon seeing no bidder, "From what I know, this is the first time in the history of Division 3 that a demigod-level soul crystal is being auctioned. The person who gets this soul crystal will have his name etched in the history of Division 3's auction."

Many of them felt moved to hear her declaration, but they were helpless. The benchmark of the bidding condition was too high. They had no way of competing with Lin Huang.

Yun Mei'er waited for a while after she spoke. Seeing that nobody else named their price, she knew there would not be a second bidder. After all, demigod archery relics were limited.

She did not bother wasting any more time. "Since nobody has come up with a higher bid, this demigod-level soul crystal now belongs to the guest in VIP Room S7."

Chapter 922: Tang Xu's Gift

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yi Yeyu, who was in VIP Room S7, looked at Lin Huang with her eyes wide opened.

She could not believe that this little guy, who was not even on iron-level three years ago, could trade with demigod relics now.

Yi Zheng, on the other hand, looked like there was nothing to be surprised about since he had witnessed Lin Huang auctioning demigod relics off half a year ago.

He thought about it and figured why his sister would think someone else's brother was more outstanding than he was, resulting in the dissatisfaction Yi Yeyu had for him.

Lin Huang delayed no further after he successfully bid for the item and he got the staff to complete the transaction with the mid-level demigod archery relic.

It was a huge golden bow with 12 black arrows.

Yi Yeyu could not help but ask when she saw the archery set, "Why don't you keep this demigod relic to trade for a demigod relic that you can use, like a sword or some armor?"

Yi Zheng glanced sympathetically at his sister sitting beside him. He already had the answer to her question.

As expected, Lin Hung answered immediately, "I already have all the demigod relics that I need."

Yi Yeyu became speechless at that moment. She turned to look at Yi Zheng while he turned away and pretended he saw nothing. She glared deadly at her brother. It was clear that Yi Zheng knew about this since the beginning.

Until now, she faintly sensed that she seemed to have misunderstood Lin Huang's comment on 'doing well in Division 3' earlier.

Although it had only been a few days since she came to Division 3, Yi Yeyu had already gained a basic understanding of the combat strength and spending power of Division 3's cultivators. It was remarkable even for the top imperial-level powerhouse to have two demigod relics. A powerhouse who had one demigod relic for his own use and could trade with his additional demigod relics was basically a demigod himself.

Judging from that alone, Lin Huang's fortune should be comparable with a demigod-level powerhouse's.

'It's only been a year and he has grown to this from being almost the same level as we were. Could the Heaven Alliance be the reason behind this?'

During the spare time throughout the past few days, Yi Yeyu asked Yi Zheng about the Genius Organization and found out that the Heaven Alliance was the No. 1 organization in the Genius Organization. Thinking that Lin Huang's growth was related to the Heaven Alliance, she could not help but anticipate joining the Heaven Alliance soon.

Naturally, Lin Huang had no idea what Yi Yeyu was thinking about.

Soon, the staff, who was in charge of the transaction, came knocking on the door.

Lin Huang opened the door and realized it was the owner of the Wanbao Auction, Tang Xu.

He had always been communicating with Tang Xu with his demigod disguise and had never met Tang Xu as Lin Xie before.

"Why did you come alone and not with an appraiser?" Lin Huang pretended not to know Tang Xu.

"I'm the appraiser, and I'm also the owner of the Wanbao Auction," Tang Xu revealed his identity directly.

Lin Huang's heart sank. Tang Xu might want to persuade him to call off the soul crystal deal since he came here himself. He pretended like he knew nothing. "Oh, it's the owner himself. I apologize for being rude."

"Kid, you don't know me, but I know you," Tang Xu said while smiling, "Your master's our big client. You should know that the two god relics included in our auction this time belongs to your master." The reason why Tang Xu said so was that Lin Huang did not really participate in bidding for the past few days. His presence there could possibly be part of an inspection on his master's collector's items to monitor the result of the auction.

"I know that," Lin Huang admitted.

"Apart from the two god relics, there are 12 demigod-level items in this auction while 10 of them belong to your master. We put the other two in." Tang Xu finally got to the topic.

"Please don't laugh at me for telling you this. Actually, I borrowed the demigod-level soul crystal that you bid for from my family just to make up the number. I've never planned to auction it off. That's why I set such a strict opening bid condition. Never had I thought that you'd have such a demigod archery relic with you," Tang Xu said sheepishly and looked at the archery on the table behind Lin Huang.

"Boss, are you here to cancel the deal yourself?" Lin Huang raised his brow. Tang Xu's words were exactly what he guessed earlier.

"Kid, what kind of person do you think I am?" Tang Xu waved his hand while grinning and took out the demigod-level soul crystal that was at the auction earlier from his Emperor's Heart Ring. "Although our Wanbao Auction isn't big and we don't have the best reputation, it's impossible that we'd break the promise for items that we've auctioned off."

"Kid, I see that you're pretty fated with this demigod-level soul crystal. I'll give it to you as a gift, eh? Let's be friends." Although it was painful for Tang Xu, he made a bold decision.

The reason why Tang Xu made that decision was that under normal circumstances, people below demigod-level would not be able to use this demigod-level soul crystal at all. Even people on imperial-level purple gold-rank could not take the impact of the spiritual energy of such a level. Only demigods could use it.

He figured Lin Huang must have bought the demigod-level soul crystal for his master. The kindness that Tang Xu showed was actually directed at the demigod who supplied him with resources.

As long as he had a stable supply of demigod relics and god relics, the Wanbao Auction's fame would rise as time passed by. The long-term profit would be much more than the total amount of profits from one or two auctions, let alone a demigod-level soul crystal.

However, what he had no idea about was that Lin Huang's God Figurine's Combat Soul was the body of a god. This little demigod-level soul crystal aside, it could even swallow a true god-level spiritual energy.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me for free?" Lin Huang narrowed his eyes while asking. He knew very well that Tang Xu did that just to get closer to his 'demigod master' for more demigod relics and god relics in the future. "You could sell this demigod-level soul crystal for at least 100 billion Life Crystals if you were to auction it. That's enough for you to trade two mid-level demigod relics."

"You can never make enough money. Friendship's more important compared to money." Tang Xu shoved the soul crystal into Lin Huang's hand.

'He's so good at talking,' Lin Huang thought to himself, 'Businessmen have such terrifying talking abilities.

"I won't beat around the bush if you say so. I'll take it then." Lin Huang took the soul crystal and nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Boss Tang, for this great gift. I'll remember that."

"Then, I won't be disturbing you any longer, kid. You guys proceed with the auction." Tang Xu nodded while smiling since he had achieved his goal. He left after shaking hands with Lin Huang and waved at Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu not far away.

"Boss Tang's so generous! He gave out an item worth hundreds of billions of Life Crystals just like that!" Yi Yeyu exclaimed with envy written all over her face.

"Lin Huang, are the two god relics in this auction from Mr. Fu?" Something caught Yi Zheng's attention.

"He meant someone else when he said 'master'," Lin Huang gave Yi Zheng a simple reply and put the soul crystal in his hand away.

Yi Zheng knew Lin Huang was unwilling to talk about it, so he did not ask further. He thought Lin Huang had another master of his own.

It was clear that Yi Yeyu wanted to ask the same thing. Noticing that she was going to ask further, Lin Huang walked straight to the deck and sat down. "Let's just enjoy the auction."

Chapter 923: There Are Plenty of Tycoons in Division 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The auction came to an end when it was past five in the afternoon.

The auctioneer, Yun Mei'er, could not help but smirk again when an ancient relic was auctioned off.

"Next up will be the last couple of items that we have for this auction." The crowd became excited as soon as she said that.

The reason being, everybody knew that the collector's items that were coming up next would be the remaining seven demigod relics and two god relics.

Almost all of the guests in the VIP rooms on the second and third floors put down whatever they were doing and focused their attention on the stage in anticipation for the climax of the auction.

"Staff, please bring out the first demigod relic of the day!" As soon as Yun Mei'er commanded, two men in black suits brought a case with a red cloth covering it onto the stage.

"This is the first demigod relic we have for today, which is also the second demigod-level item for the day. I wonder what would it be." Yun Mei'er grinned while holding onto the edge of the red cloth. She paused and scanned across the crowd. Realizing that everyone had their eyes on her, she shook her wrist slightly and unveiled the red cloth.

There was a quaint, long sword with its tip pointing downward in the transparent case. It hovered mid-air and was rotating slowly with the sword ridge as the center point.

The visual effect was caused by the carving of an anti-gravity sigil and a balancing sigil in the case.

"This is a demigod longsword relic. Its name is Hong Ying which sounds like a lady's name. In reality, it first belonged to a demigod sword cultivator named Gu Yu in ancient times. He was a real hunk. He named the sword after his wife who passed away.

"Although Hong Ying's just a mid-level demigod relic, from the historical data that we've read, Sir Gu Yu has killed at least 13 demigod-level monsters with this sword when he was still alive.

"I personally think that this is an excellent weapon that a sword cultivator must own." Yun Mei'er only named the starting price after giving all of the guests a simple introduction, which allowed them to gain an understanding of the longsword.

"The starting price for Hong Ying is 40 billion Life Crystals with at least two billion Life Crystals increment each time!" Screens lit up consecutively on the second floor as soon as she was done speaking.

"VIP Room A2 offers 42 billion!

"VIP Room A11 offers 44 billion!

"VIP Room A23 offers 48 billion!

"VIP Room A41 offers 50 billion!"

The crowd clamored in surprise after Yun Mei'er announced the four bids consecutively. In less than ten seconds, the demigod relic had skyrocketed to tens of billions of Life Crystals.

"I just realized there are so many loaded people after participating in an auction like this."

"Those were just the bids from the A-class VIP rooms. The big bosses in the S-class VIP rooms on the third floor have yet to bid."

"I suppose people who are eligible to compete for demigod relics must be at least imperial-level powerhouses. It's normal for them to be loaded."

"VIP Room A53 offers 52 billion!

"VIP Room S1 offers 60 billion!

"VIP Room S2 offers 70 billion!"

The people exclaimed again as soon as the two bosses in the S-class VIP rooms placed their bids.

"The big bosses on the third floor have finally released their bullets!"

"Their markup in price is insane!"

"They're worthy of being called big bosses. They raised by eight to ten billion each time."

"Tycoons on the second floor, don't give in. Show them what you've got!"

The people on the second floor who were initially participating in the bid became silent as soon as the two big bosses on the third floor named their price. Only one of them offered 75 billion but he was shut down by the big boss from VIP Room S2 immediately at 85 billion. He dared not bid any longer.

"The guest from VIP Room S1 offers again. 90 billion!"

The screen in VIP Room S2 lit up again as soon as Yun Mei'er called the bid out.

"100 billion! The guest in VIP Room S2 has raised by another ten billion. It's clear that he must get his hands on Hong Ying!"

Lin Huang who was in VIP Room S7 teased while smiling, "Seems like the guest in VIP Room S2's a hot-head."

"I think it's a demigod," Yi Zheng, who was sitting aside, voiced his speculation.

Everyone thought the result was decided after VIP Room S2 offered 100 billion Life Crystals. Even Yun Mei'er was ready to announce the final result.

However, VIP Room S1 placed a bid again all of a sudden.

Yun Mei'er was stunned for a moment. She thought she was mistaken, but she soon snapped back to her senses.

"The guest from VIP Room S1 has bid again. 105 billion! It seems like he's not giving up!"

Breaking through 100 billion actually surpassed the maximum price of a normal demigod relic. Never had they expected there to be people who would offer more than that.

'It must be settled by now!' Almost everyone thought the same.

However, the screen in VIP Room S2 lit up again at that moment.

Yun Mei'er's eyes flew wide open. She was surprised that the guest in VIP Room S2 was so determined to get the sword.

"The guest in VIP Room S2 has bid again. He's raised by ten billion again and now the bid stands at 115 billion!"

"Is there anyone who is willing to go higher? If not, this Hong Ying will belong to the guest from VIP Room S2."

A muscular, short-haired girl in VIP Room S2 on the third floor snarled rather fiercely, "I must have this sword!"

115 billion clearly surpassed the maximum price of a mid-level demigod relic. Eventually, the guest in VIP Room S1 did not choose to bid again.

In the end, the first demigod relic on the last day of the auction was successfully auctioned off to the female demigod in VIP Room S2 at an insane price of 115 billion.

The auctioning of the first demigod relic ignited the atmosphere completely.

The people were getting more and more excited about the next item.

Meanwhile, Yi Yeyu, who was in VIP Room S7, was shocked. "People in Division 3 are so loaded! A mid-level demigod relic being auctioned off at 115 billion?"

"Not only Division 3, but many tycoons from Divisions 1 and 2 also came to this auction," Yi Zheng corrected her.

Lin Huang explained while smiling, "There are actually many reasons for people to bid for an item at such high price. However, the main reason is that the guests in VIP Rooms S1 and S2 are eager to get Hong Ying. There was actually heat emanating between both of them at the end of the bid."

"Especially the guest in VIP Room S2, he's clearly a hot-head. He raised by ten billion no matter how much the other guest offered. If not for his way of bidding, the final price wouldn't be as high as it is."

"Actually, I think 105 billion should be the highest price the guest VIP Room S1 is willing to pay. If the guest in VIP Room S2 can calm himself down, the guest in VIP Room S1 shouldn't bid again if he raised by another two billion. He could've bid for the sword at 107 billion, but he wasted eight billion Life Crystals just like that."

The first demigod relic was auctioned off at a high price which was out of anyone's expectations.

Although Yun Mei'er was elated that she had broken the record of a mid-level demigod relic's price in Division 3, that did not delay her job at all. Soon, she got the staff to bring the second demigod relic up.

Report chapter

The second demigod relic was a battle sword.

The reason why Lin Huang was auctioning the battle sword off was that it was just a low-level demigod relic.

He had a total of 13 demigod battle sword relics with him, five of which were mid-level demigod battle sword relics and one was a high-level demigod battle sword relic.

The higher level the demigod relic, the more Life Power it would drain during usage. However, that was none of Lin Huang's concern. The Life Power in his body was endless due to his Divine Fire.

To him, he could use the high-level demigod battle sword relic directly after he elevated to imperial-level. At the most, he would put one or two mid-level demigod battle sword relics away as backups and sell the rest.

Yun Mei'er unveiled the red cloth on the stage.

A cool black battle sword was presented before the people. It was as clear as a piece of black jade.

Everyone exclaimed the moment they saw the battle sword. They had an even bigger reaction than the time they saw the mid-level demigod sword relic earlier.

"It's so beautiful! This sword's like a piece of art!"

"I think it'll look great in the living room as decoration."

"The material doesn't seem like metal. Wouldn't it break if it's used in battles?"

Even Yi Yeyu in VIP Room S7 on the third floor could not help but exclaim, "I'm not a sword cultivator, but I'm so eager to buy this sword when I look at it. Just like the saying 'appearances are everything', this saying applies to anything."

"I'm sure this sword will cause a wild fight between sword cultivators." Yi Zheng nodded too. He peeped at Lin Huang but noticed there was no change of emotion on his face. He could not tell what Lin Huang was feeling.

In reality, Lin Huang liked the sword very much but eventually decided to sell it off after some struggling.

He was not like Liu Ming; he never had the habit of collecting swords.

To him, the practicality of a weapon should be prioritized while everything else did not matter. No matter how amazing it looked, there was no need to keep if it was less practical than those mid-level and high-level demigod relics.

On stage, Yun Mei'er did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked across the crowd and only spoke slowly after everyone had their eyes glued to the battle sword. "The name of this battle sword is Black Jade."

"I'm sure many have guessed that the material of this sword isn't metal. It's mainly made of the spine of a demigod-level dragonkin and embellished with crystal tuff essence."

"Everyone might think that this sword's beautiful, but in reality, it's even more beautiful when the light penetrates through it at night." Yun Mei'er clapped her hands twice after saying that.

The auction turned completely dark all of a sudden. Almost at the same time, a white ray infiltrated the transparent case with the battle sword from behind.

The people saw the dazzling golden shimmer being reflected from the body of the sword like sand when the white ray penetrated the battle sword. It was like a sky full of twinkling stars.

Everyone was in an uproar. Many of them launched the camera from their Emperor's Heart Rings and took a photo of the item.

Lin Huang who was in VIP Room S7 on the third floor was dumbstruck.

'People actually do that?!'

A moment later, the ray vanished while the lights were turned on again.

Yun Mei'er only continued to speak in satisfaction after seeing the expression on the people's faces.

"Looking at the historical data, this Black Jade was the early work of an ancient weapon master, Ou Yunming. Sir Ou's early works were known to be extremely exquisite. Although the Black Jade's just a low-level demigod relic, its craftsmanship moved the notorious collection master Luqiu Yu to purchase it at a high price.

"I'm sure everyone's familiar with the name Luqiu Yu. He's the No. 1 collector during ancient times recorded in history books, but many might not know that he was also a virtual god-level powerhouse.

"It was said that Master Luqiu placed the Black Jade in his home as decoration after purchasing it. His nephew, Luqiu Hao, visited and saw it a few years later.

"Luqiu Hao fell in love with the Black Jade as soon as he saw it and told his uncle, 'This is a weapon. Weapons should see blood while fighting their enemies. That's its destiny. You're wasting God's gift by putting it in your room like a toy, which would upset it. If you really want to collect it, you should let it fulfill its destiny by winning battles and experiencing massacres. It'll come back to you when it's done drinking blood.' Master Luqiu then gave his nephew the Black Jade while Luqiu Hao gave life to it.

"There were at least 20 demigod-level monsters that were killed with this sword and countless monsters below demigod-level that died as well. Luqiu Hao died in a war later on. Instead of retrieving the sword, Master Luqiu buried his nephew with the sword as a gift.

"Although the Black Jade's just a low-level demigod relic, its value's much higher than high-level demigod relics. It's comparable with a supreme-grade demigod relic.

"There's only one of this in the entire world. I hope that everyone can seize the opportunity at this auction. There's no second chance ever again if you miss it this time.

"The Black Jade will start at 30 billion Life Crystals and each increment must be at least 1.5 billion Life Crystals!" The screens of the VIP rooms on the second and third floors lit up consecutively as soon as Yun Mei'er named the starting bid.

"VIP Room A32 offers 40 billion!"

"VIP Room A1 offers 50 billion!"

"VIP Room S3 offers 60 billion!"

"VIP Room S8 offers 80 billion!"

The crowd became excited to see the frenzied bid that was increasing.

"Holy cow! A low-level demigod relic's going at a price that's higher than a mid-level demigod relic!"

"The Wanbao Auction has never treated this battle sword as a low-level demigod relic since the beginning. After all, the starting price is already 30 billion Life Crystals!"

"There are so many rich people here! They're competing for a low-level demigod relic like madmen!"

Lin Huang, who was in VIP Room S7, could not understand that.

It was just a low-level demigod relic. Theoretically, it should only be sold at 30 billion Life Crystals at the most, but now it was already at 80 million. Meanwhile, there were people who were still bidding for it.

"Is this what people call 'the rich become stupid when they have too much money'?" Yi Yeyu said while pouting.

"It's more like the happiness of the rich is beyond your imagination," Yi Zheng corrected her while grinning.

After some intense bidding, the battle sword, the Black Jade, was sold to the guest from VIP Room S8 at a whopping price of 160 billion Life Crystals.

The price was on par with a high-level demigod relic.

Yun Mei'er was getting wrinkles around her eyes from grinning so much. She had just broken a second record that day by selling a low-level demigod relic at double the highest price of a low-level demigod relic ever to be auctioned in history. Perhaps nobody would be able to break that record within centuries. For the next century, anyone who would learn about auction would remember this auctioneer named Yun Mei'er who auctioned off a low-level demigod relic at 160 billion Life Crystals.

After the Black Jade battle sword was auctioned off, the demigod relics were sent onto the stage one after another.

There were low-level and mid-level demigod relics. The next five demigod relics were sold at 98 billion Life Crystals, 37 billion Life Crystals, 95 billion Life Crystals, 35 billion Life Crystals, and 110 billion Life Crystals respectively.

Including the three mid-level demigod relics, none of them were sold at a price higher than the Black Jade.

After the seven demigod relics were sold consecutively, the excitement level at the auction peaked because the two god relics would be auctioned next.

Chapter 925: The First God Relic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Mei'er became more excited on stage.

It was the very first time in her life that she was auctioning god relics off. In addition to that, there were two god relics this time.

It was an exclusive honor for Division 3's auctioneers in close to 200 years.

She could clearly sense that the guests' anticipation for the last two collector's items.

"I believe all of you should feel the same as I do. We're all practically jumping for the arrival of the last two items.

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous right now. Throughout my 16 years of being an auctioneer, this is my second time feeling nervous. The last time I felt nervous was the very first time being an auctioneer 16 years ago.

"In reality, I couldn't really believe it when Boss Tang contacted me last month, telling me that I'd be hosting this auction. I didn't expect myself to be selected when I signed up for it.

"The reason being, everyone in the industry knew that there will be two extraordinary finale items in this auction. Many seniors with rich experience signed up for this Wanbao Auction. Even some of the notorious seniors from Divisions 1 and 2 signed up too, hoping to host this auction.

"I've no idea why did Boss Tang picked me eventually. I still don't understand it until today, but since he did, I hope I won't disappoint his faith in me. I'll try to do my very best."

Yun Mei'er poured her heart out sincerely while waiting for the staff to prepare the next item. The crowd cheered for her.

"Now, that we are ready, please allow the team to bring our first final item of the day!"

As soon as she spoke, four staff carried a huge case onto the stage.

The people were already discussing among themselves before the cloth was removed.

"Why is the case so big?"

"It seems to be strenuous for the staff to carry. Man, that looks heavy."

"I guess it should be the spear."

"Not necessarily. It could be the sword."

Although Tang Xu had announced the god relics before the New Year, he only said that the two god relics that were being auctioned this time would be a spear and a sword. Apart from that, he revealed no more.

Hence, nobody knew what the two god relics looked like. The staff put the case with the red cloth down slowly. Everyone held their breaths while waiting.

Including the people in the VIP rooms on the second and third floors, they had their eyes fixated on the case.

Yi Yeyu, who was in VIP Room S7, could not help but ask, "Lin Huang, you should know what the two god relics look like, don't you?"

Lin Huang turned his head and raised his brow. "Take a guess."

"Go away!" Yi Zheng peeped at the both of them quietly and stopped the duo's 'flirting' with one sentence.

"You'll know when the cloth is removed."

On stage, the auctioneer, Yun Mei'er, pulled the edge of the red cloth and smiled at the crowd. "Well, it seems like everyone's excited. Oh, then I shan't keep everyone guessing."

She pulled the red cloth that was covering the case as soon as she was done speaking.

There was a huge spear placed slanted in the transparent case. The total length of the spear was at least five meters from its handle to the tip and it was dark blue in color.

The spear was in the form of a tower. However, instead of being smooth and conically-shaped, it had a spiral structure like a screw. The bottom of the handle was thick while it got thinner as it went up. The tip of the spear was so thin that it was almost as narrow as an embroidery needle.

Clearly, apart from turning enemies into skewers, this heavy weapon could be used to smash enemies into a pile of mush.

"According to the seller, this name of this spear is Ba Huang. It's been around for a long time, passed down even before the middle era. We've read many historical documents, but we couldn't find any direct information about the spear.

"However, there's a document recorded in the middle era with a similar description. It says 'a spear that's six feet long, dark blue, and in the shape of a tower'. We figured roughly that it should be referring to this spear.

"According to the description in the document, the spear appeared in the early era whereby its first appearance was in the hand of a dragon knight.

"Although there are no records of the dragon knight's exact name, looking at the document, he had the combat strength of virtual god-level. Also, he had three high-level virtual god-level dragonkins with him. He was almost the No. 1 person under True Gods at that time.

"A war broke out later on. After he died with his three dragonkins in the war, the spear went missing.

"This is the only information we have, so we can't verify the authenticity of the information," Yun Mei'er added, "You can take it as a story."

"Now, let's talk about this spear. In reality, this giant form is just its original form. It has a second sharp form whereby it can shrink to two meters long. The tip of the spear will turn into a sharp blade while its weight would lighten tremendously.

"The original form's suitable for fighting wars while the sharp form's suitable for hunting or fighting another person.

"Since it can only be activated using Divine Power, there's no way that we can demonstrate it for everyone." Yun Mei'er spread her arms helplessly.

Initially, Tang Xu wanted to ask his clan's patriarch to demonstrate the two god relics here before the New Year. However, since the opening of the ruins in Division 1, the patriarch of the Tang Clan could not help but join the fun as well. Therefore, the thought of demonstrating on the spot was put aside.

A lady's voice came from VIP Room S2 when Yun Mei'er was still speaking. "I could demonstrate it to all of you for free."

Yun Mei'er was stunned to hear that offer. She looked at Tang Xu who was below the stage, wanting to ask his opinion.

Tang Xu hesitated for a second before nodding.

He was rather worried that the person would leave with the spear directly since she was a demigod. However, he thought about it and figured that she would not do such a thing in public. There were so many eyes watching after all, and she would lose her dignity completely once the news spread.

"Sure. Please demonstrate it for us, Ma'am." After getting Tang Xu's approval, Yun Mei'er nodded to the person upstairs while smiling.

A silhouette appeared on stage as soon as she was done speaking.

It was a short-haired lady with a brawny body. She was dressed in quite a masculine way. She wore a black tank top and a blue denim miniskirt with muscles bulging from her arms.

Lin Huang thought her arms were almost the size of his thighs.

The lady demigod did not even bother to introduce herself and put her hand into the case directly. She held the handle and pulled out the huge spear.

"Watch closely. I'll only demonstrate once." The lady demigod inserted her Divine Power into the spear. A deep blue gleam appeared on the spear's surface like mist.

A moment later, the lady demigod shrank the spear rapidly with a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Merely three to four seconds later, the spear that was more than five meters long shrank to a deep blue spear that was two meters long.

The diameter of the spear was less than five centimeters. The blade on top was flat, appearing more like a sharp dagger.

The lady demigod swung it casually for a while and nodded with a grin. "It's indeed much lighter."

After some demonstration, she put the spear into the case and returned to the VIP room.

"Alright. Since the lady from VIP Room S2 has shown us the change of form that the spear can do, now let's begin the auction officially! The starting bid is two God Figurines! Each increment will have to be an item nothing lower than demigod-level."

Chapter 926: Bought-in?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The starting bid is two God Figurines! Each bid would have to be an item nothing lower than demigod-level."

Almost everyone there was dumbstruck when Yun Mei'er announced the starting bid.

'What's this God Figurine?' Almost everyone had the same question flashing in their heads.

Even Yun Mei'er, who was a professional auctioneer, had only heard about what a God Figurine was a few days ago.

In reality, hardly anyone knew about God Figurines apart from demigods.

Tang Xu did not announce the bidding condition when he spread the news out earlier. However, those demigods who were interested in purchasing the god relics contacted the Tang Clan and found out that the starting bid was two God Figurines.

At that moment, most of the crowd, including most of the people in the VIP rooms on the second floor, had confusion written all over their faces. Many of them knew that nobody would trade Life Crystals with god relics. There must be a strict bidding condition, but never had they thought that the item to be traded in exchange for the god relics was something they had never even heard of.

Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu were both dumbstruck in VIP Room S7.

"What's a God Figurine?" Yi Yeyu asked her brother.

"I've no idea." Yi Zheng then turned his head to look at Lin Huang. "Lin Huang, you should know about it, shouldn't you?"

Lin Huang nodded while beaming. "A God Figurine is actually the remnant of a god."

"A Gods remnant? What is the use of it? To be made into a puppet?" Yi Yeyu was even more confused now.

"It can be used as a Combat Soul carrier for demigods or Virtual Gods. Driving a God Figurine with a Combat Soul could result in a person achieving invincibility in flesh." Lin Huang did not bother hiding the fact.

"So, it has to be activated with Divine Power?" Yi Zheng had a better understanding now.

"To be exact, it can be activated with any god-level energy," Lin Huang confirmed.

"If it can only boost the Combat Soul's flesh, it should be pretty limited to a boost in the Combat Soul's overall abilities. It seems like this thing is pretty useless. I think it's a great loss for one to only trade two God Figurines for one god relic." Yi Yeyu lost interest in God Figurine right away.

"No matter what, a God Figurine is a god-level item and the amount is limited. It's pretty challenging to trade a god relic with two God Figurines." Lin Huang smiled while shaking his head.

Yun Mei'er waited for a moment on the stage. She became a little concern upon seeing no screens lighting up on the second and the third floors. However, since she was an experienced auctioneer, she began to buy time immediately.

"Perhaps many of you have no idea what a God Figurine is. Well, I'll give you a simple explanation. A God Figurine is a Gods item. To be exact, it's the remnant of a god after his death."

Yun Mei'er spent one to two minutes explaining, but nobody was bidding. It hit her that this god relic might be bought-in.

"This is a god relic spear, Ba Huang. The starting bid is two God Figurines! Each increment must be an item nothing lower than demigod-level."

"If nobody's bidding, then this collection item will be bought-in."

"Wait!" At that very moment, a voice came from VIP Room S4 on the third floor. "Since nobody's bidding, could I ask if the person-in-charge to contact the seller to change the bidding condition? I really don't have any God Figurine with me."

"Please give me a moment, Sir. Let me talk to the boss." Yun Mei'er was finally relieved that the situation had turned around.

Tang Xu, who had been sitting on the first row at the auction, walked onto the stage and discussed with Yun Mei'er with their backs facing the audience.

Observing that, Lin Huang, who was in VIP Room S7, removed the anonymous Emperor's Heart Ring he had on his finger quietly and put it away into his storage space.

A while later, Tang Xu got off the stage and attempted to contact Lin Huang's 'demigod master'. However, he realized that he could not reach him.

Feeling helpless, he called Lin Huang instead. His call was not rejected.

"Kid, is it possible for you to contact your master?" Tang Xu asked rather anxiously.

The reason for his anxiety was the guest in VIP Room S4, who coincidentally was the demigod, Chu Yang. He was rather close to the patriarch of the Tang Clan.

"My master told me that he might be busy these few days. If you guys have failed to contact him, I'd probably face the same challenge too," replied Lin Huang.

"Could you take the liberty to change the bidding condition?" Tang Xu asked again.

"This belongs to my master. Since he said that a God Figurine is the only thing he wants, he won't accept other items in exchange." Lin Huang shook his head and declined right away. "I'm sorry. I really can't help you."

Tang Xu could only accept the truth helplessly. After hanging up the call, he walked onto the stage, looking terrible.

"I'm sorry to the Sir in VIP Room S4. We've contacted the seller, but he doesn't accept any other trading conditions."

"Alright then." Demigod Chu Yang accepted the outcome anyway. After all, he could not force things to happen.

The auction went on after the tiny episode.

Although Yun Mei'er maintained a grin on her face, she felt morose inside. It seemed like the very first god relic that she was auctioning was destined to be bought in.

"The god relic spear, Ba Huang, for two God Figurines… Going once!"

"God relic spear, Ba Huang, for two God Figurines… Going twice!"

"If nobody's bidding, then it'll be bought in!"

"God relic spear, Ba Huang, for two God Figurines… Last call!"

"It's a bought-in for the god relic spear, Ba Huang!"

The resounding knock of the hammer echoed in the room and an uproar broke in the crowd.

"What? A bought-in?!"

"I can't believe that a god relic that was so hard to come by has become a bought-in just like that!"

"I thought we have many big bosses in our Division 3 these few days, but now I realize they're just pretending to be big bosses."

"The bidding condition's too strict, I guess. We've never heard of such a thing called a God Figurine before this. I suppose nobody knew what it was apart from the demigods."

"If the bidding condition remains the same, wouldn't the second god relic end up in the same situation too since the first one was bought in?"

In VIP Room S7, Lin Huang scowled.

Although Tang Xu had told him before that there might be a bought-in at the beginning, Lin Huang was quite upset seeing it happen on the spot. Moreover, he was a little worried that the second god relic would also be bought in since the bidding condition would remain the same.

"I can't believe it's bought in!" Yi Yeyu had shock written all over her face.

"Perhaps there aren't many demigods in Division 3. It should've been sold easily if the auction were to be in Division 1," said Yi Zheng who was sitting aside.

However, Lin Huang shook his head. "It would be almost the same outcome if the auction happened in Division 1. This has nothing much to do with the division. Under normal circumstances, basically, demigods who use similar weapons wouldn't miss it for the world as long as there are god relics in the auction. However, there's a new grade-7 ruin that opened in Division 1 earlier, so more than 70% of the demigods of the entire continent are exploring the ruins now, causing a drastic drop of demigods participating in the auction this time."

"I see." Yi Yeyu and Yi Zheng finally understood the real reason for the relic being a bought-in.

After putting the case on the stage away, Yun Mei'er regained her normal expression, but she was secretly panicking now.

'Please don't let the second god relic be bought in. If that happens, I'll really be the laughing stock of the auction history.'

After calming herself down by gulping a deep breath, Yun Mei'er then nodded at the staff below.

"Let's bring in the final item of the day!"

Chapter 927: The Last Auction Item

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, two staff brought the last case onto the stage.

Yun Mei'er was fretting. However, with more than ten years of auction experience under her belt, one could not tell how she felt since she managed to contain her feelings and concealed them well.

"This is the last collector's item we have for the day. It's also the very last item at our auction this time. I believe the few demigods who are here today came just for this. I won't waste any more time. I present to you the second god relic of the day!" Yun Mei'er pulled the red cloth away as soon as she was done speaking.

An exquisite sword in the case was presented before the people.

It was a sword without a scabbard, and it was around one meter long.

The hilt was wooden with two little intertwining dragons carved on it. The crossguard on the other side was completely golden and was the size of less than half a palm. Its shape looked like a hollowed jade piece with dragon patterns on it.

The sword seemed to be very shiny and was around 75 centimeters long. Its material did not seem like steel. Instead, it resembled silver.

There were dragon patterns carved on one side of the sword while a poem was carved in messy ancient text on the back.

'Three thousand guests indulge themselves in the blooming flowers; one frosty sword is enough to conquer the world.'

Judging from its appearance, although the sword was not on par with the battle sword, the Black Jade, it was very beautiful. Undeniably, it carried a quaint charm.

Many of the onlookers were stunned just looking at it.

"This sword's called Frost Flower. It's a famous sword from the early era. Although it's named Frost Flower, it has nothing to do with the frost attribute," Yun Mei'er began to tell the story.

"Legend has it that the swordsmith who crafted this sword was a powerful sword cultivator, and so was his wife. She was wounded badly in a monster horde war and passed away not long later. The day his wife passed away, white frost flowers bloomed on the frozen lake next to his house.

"He was always drinking by the lake since his wife passed away and never made any weapons for years since then. One winter 11 years later, the lake was frozen again. Frost flowers formed on the lake again on his wife's death anniversary.

"Unable to take it any longer, the emotions that he had been keeping inside for 11 years exploded completely. He wailed devastatingly while kneeling by the lake, screaming his wife's name over and over again.

"After spending the day releasing all of his emotions, he suddenly thought of something that his wife had said before. 'All of the swords that you've made are for men. They're so ugly. When will you customize one for me? A sword that would be love at first sight for me?'

"Recalling that he still owed his wife a sword, the swordsmith began working that day itself. He spent an entire year before he finally completed the sword. The day the sword was completed was his wife's death anniversary. There were frost flowers all over the lake again, so he named the sword Frost Flower.

"Later on, he fought with the sword and died in the monster horde war. Frost Flower then fell into the possession of a few other people and ended up with a lady sword cultivator, Nangong Xin, eventually. She gave life to the sword.

"It was said that Nangong Xin was a Sword Dao divinity and defeated all the male sword cultivators. She was the most powerful sword cultivator powerhouse in the era. There were at least 20 virtual god-level monsters that died by Frost Flower's power. Besides that, there was a true god-level monster that died by the sword too.

"Nangong Xin's stunning record made Frost Flower a famous sword and it was then documented in history. Although this sword was made for women, it actually combines a bit of the swordsmith's style which seems tough and rugged. It's a sword for both men and women."

After she was done with the story of Frost Flower, Yun Mei'er then began to go into the details of the sword.

"The total length of the sword is 1.8 meters whereby the body's 75 centimeters long and five centimeters wide. There are dragon patterns carved everywhere.

"The starting bid is two God Figurines. Each increment must be an item nothing lower than demigod-level."

The auction became stirred once again when the bidding condition was stated.

"The bidding condition remains the same! Will it be bought in again?"

"It's hard to say. There are so many more sword cultivators than spear cultivators after all."

"This auction will be a laughing stock if it's bought in again. If it really happens, they would've auctioned two god relics and none of them were sold!"

Lin Huang felt anxious too.

Although it would not matter if a bought-in happened again since he could auction them again after the demigods came out of the ruins, he wanted to get God Figurines as soon as possible to elevate the God Figurines' Combat Souls.

On stage, Yun Mei'er was nervous too. She was really worried that the second god relic would be bought in as well.

Fortunately, she was relieved when the screen of VIP Room S1 on the third floor lit up.

"I'm offering two God Figurines. If nobody here has items that fit the bidding condition, then this Frost Flower will belong to me." The screen of VIP Room S2 lit up suddenly as soon as the old man from VIP Room S1 was done speaking.

"I'm bidding God Figurines and a mid-grade demigod battle sword relic! To the old man from VIP Room S1, do you really think nobody has brought God Figurines this time? Do you think you can take the item home with just the starting bid?" The short-haired muscular lady in VIP Room S2 condemned right away.

"Hehe, I was just breaking the ice. Its been a while, Lady Lu. You're still as straightforward as ever." It was clear that the old man in VIP Room S1 knew the person.

"Old man, I don't really know you. Don't try to kiss my ass!" The screen on VIP Room S8 lit up when the duo was talking.

"Two God Figurines and three mid-grade demigod relics. You can choose any armor among the three mid-grade demigod relics. I should have everything as long as it's not too rare." The guest in VIP Room S8 stopped speaking right away. It was clear that he did not plan to communicate with anyone else.

"Two God Figurines and five mid-grade demigod relics!" The old man from VIP Room S1 offered a higher bid again. "I'll give the same treatment as VIP Room S8. Pick any five demigod relics."

"Old man, it's rare seeing you being so generous," teased the lady from VIP Room S2 and she offered again, "I'll just go all out then. Two God Figurines and ten mid-grade demigod relics!"

"Lady Lu, you're just messing with us now." The old man from VIP Room S1 said helplessly, but he offered again while biting the bullet, "Two God Figurines and 20 mid-grade demigod relics!"

The screen on VIP Room S8 lit up again. "Two God Figurines, two expert-grade demigod relics, and 10 mid-grade demigod relics. You can pick any demigod relics."

The bid shut the demigods in VIP Rooms S1 and S2 up right away. It was rather difficult for one to obtain an expert-grade demigod relic.

The people who were watching the auction were discussing intently among themselves.

"That dude is so rich! He's using expert-grade demigod relics like currency."

"He must be a big boss since he brought out expert-grade demigod relics just like that!"

"I'm afraid the big boss in VIP Room S8 isn't from Division 3."

Lin Huang, who was sitting in VIP Room S7, could not help but felt a little pleased. Although he had close to 400 demigod relics, there were only ten expert-grade demigod relics among them and there was only one battle sword that suited him.

"The guest from VIP Room S8 has offered two God Figurines, two expert-grade demigod relics, and 10 mid-grade demigod relics. Does anyone have a higher bid?" Yun Mei'er added upon noticing VIP Rooms S1 and S2 being silent.

The screen on VIP Room S2 lit up again as soon as she was done speaking.

"Two God Figurines, three expert-grade demigod relics, and 20 mid-grade demigod relics," growled the muscular lady fiercely. One would guess that she was offering almost everything she had.

However, the screen in VIP Room S8 lit up once again.

"Two God Figurines, one supreme-grade demigod relic, three expert-grade demigod relics, and 20 mid-grade demigod relics." His bid this time basically included a supreme-grade demigod relic on top of the bid called by VIP Room S2.

The muscular lady in VIP Room S2 knew that she definitely could not beat the person. She had no supreme-grade demigod relic with her, so she could not compete with the other person at all. It would be futile even if she were to add another expert- or mid-grade demigod relic because the person could do the same.

The guest from VIP Room S1 was completely silent now. It was clear that the bid was out of his expectations, so he decided to give up entirely.

In VIP Room S7, Lin Huang was pretty satisfied with the bid.

Combining the God Figurine that he had, the two God Figurines were enough to boost his combat strength to immortal-level rank-7. He could advance to high-level immortal-level officially, which meant that Bai and the rest would benefit by elevating their combat strength to imperial-level crimson gold-rank.

"If everything goes as expected, this should be the final bid. I think the guest from VIP Room S8 isn't from Division 3 since he can even bid with a supreme-grade demigod relic." Yi Zheng had been staying in Division 3 for half a year, so he knew about the demigods in Division 3.

"Why? Is there no demigod in Division 3 who has supreme-grade demigod relic?" Yi Yeyu could not help but ask.

"There are very few demigods in Division 3 after all. From what I know, only three of them own a supreme-grade demigod relic. They only have one supreme-grade demigod relic, so it's pretty impossible for them to bid with it this time," Lin Huang explained, "The guest from VIP Room S8's most probably from Division 1."

Many people figured the guest in VIP Room S8 was not a local resident.

"I wonder if he's a big boss from Division 1 or 2."

"Compared to Divisions 1 and 2, our big bosses are fake bosses."

"I pity the demigods from our division. They're being oppressed directly without the ability to fight back at all."

On stage, Yun Mei'erm who had a rich experience in auctions, naturally knew that the result was established up to this point.

"The guest in VIP Room S8 has offered two God Figurines, one supreme-grade demigod relic, three expert-grade demigod relics, and 20 mid-grade demigod relics.

"Going once!

"Going twice!"

"If there are no objections, this final item of the day goes to the guest in VIP Room S8.

"Alright, going thrice!

"Sold!"

The last item of the auction was finally sold officially as the resounding thud of the gavel echoed.

Chapter 928: Obtaining Two God Figurines

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The burden in Lin Huang's heart finally lifted when the five-day long auction came to an end.

Although he only sold one out of the two god relics, it was good enough.

Combining the two God Figurines and the one that he already possessed, they were enough to boost his combat strength all the way to immortal-level rank-7.

As soon as Lin Huang's combat strength elevated to high-level immortal-level, the combat strength of Bai and the rest would advance to imperial-level crimson gold-rank.

It would mean that Lin Huang's overall ability would rise to the next level.

Apart from that, he had a surprise reward: the demigod-level soul crystal.

Such a demigod-level soul crystal was sufficient to upgrade any of his imperial-level white gold-rank Combat Souls to imperial-level purple gold-rank.

At night, Lin Huang put the anonymous Emperor's Heart Ring on and saw the unread message from Tang Xu on the communication page.

"Only the sword Frost Flower was sold among the two god relics. The final bid was two God Figurines, one supreme-grade demigod relic, three expert-grade demigod relics, and 20 mid-grade demigod relics. You can choose any demigod relic, but please try to decide within 48 hours."

Lin Huang replied after he was done reading the message. "My first pick for the supreme-grade demigod relic is a battle sword. If not, I'll take armor. I'll get any sword, saber or armor for the three expert-grade demigod relics. As for the 20 mid-grade demigod relics, just pick any that are in higher demand."

Tang Xu replied immediately. It took him less than three seconds after Lin Huang replied. "Understood. May I know when will you pick them up, Sir? Or should we send them to your disciple directly?"

"I'll try to make a trip within three days."

The reason why Lin Huang wanted to go through the trouble was that it would be a problem if someone found out that he had the items with him. However, not many people would plot against a demigod who came for the items himself.

The next morning after the auction ended, Lin Huang left the VIP room with the siblings.

"There'll be an underground auction tomorrow night. You guys could go if you're interested." Lin Huang forwarded the invitation that the Wanbao Auction had sent him to Yi Zheng and Yi Yeyu.

"Judging from your tone, I'm guessing that you're not joining?" Yi Zheng asked while raising his brow.

"I've seen the list. I won't waste my time since there's nothing that I want." Lin Huang shook his head while smiling.

"But such an underground auction usually only reveals half of the real items up for auction on the list. What if there's something that you want that's not included in the list?" Yi Yeyu asked.

"I only need a few specific items now. The first would be God Figurines, the second would be ancient-level or demigod-level soul crystals, thirdly would be God's Crashers and lastly, demigod-level or god-level telekinetic weapons," Lin Huang named the items that he needed. "Apart from this underground auction, please take note of these items for me if you guys are joining other auctions in the future. If necessary, you can bid for me directly and I'll transfer the amount to you."

"Sure, we'll keep an eye out for you." Yi Yeyu nodded.

"So, what's your plan now? Are you going to obtain points on the Genius Union?" Yi Zheng could not help but ask.

"I'll elevate my combat strength further in the coming month. Then, I'll log onto the Genius Union to get some points." Lin Huang gave them a brief version of his plan.

Yi Zheng was speechless upon hearing that. He could not believe that Lin Huang was going to break through his combat strength so soon.

"What plans do the both of you have? Do you guys intend to train together?" Lin Huang asked Yi Zheng.

"I'm planning to bring her around Division 3 after the underground auction ends to familiarize herself. However, I can only be her company for over a month at the most. I'll have to work on my own stuff after that."

"He has a girlfriend now," Yi Yeyu spoke all of a sudden, "He no longer needs his sister."

"What utter nonsense! There's a mission from the Combat God Alliance," Yi Zheng explained immediately.

"Your brother isn't young after all, so it's normal for him to be with his girlfriend. You should learn to understand that," Lin Huang ignored Yi Zheng's explanation directly and comforted Yi Yeyu.

"What do you mean I'm not young anymore? I'm only 23!" Yi Zheng was flabbergasted.

"A man turns into an uncle once he passes 20," Lin Huang said at ease because he was only 18 in this world.

"He's not just an uncle. He's an old uncle now," Yi Yeyu added.

Yi Zheng could not argue back because he really was an uncle at home. His cousins already had children of their own. He was eager to say to his sister "you're an aunty too" but he lacked the guts in the end.

All he could do was murmur secretly, "Why are other people's sisters so cute, obedient and gentle?"

"I'll get Chan Dou to arrange your application for the Genius Union." Lin Huang recalled that when Yi Zheng mentioned the Combat God Alliance. "However, I would like to be clear about this. Although the Heaven Alliance's a powerful organization in the Genius Union, your development in Division 3 will be ordinary and there aren't many resources as well. You'll have to fight for whatever you want. You're only on immortal-level rank-1 now, so I think you should focus mainly on combat strength elevation and train your battle ability. When your ability advances, you'll be able to enter ruins and secret zones for more resources."

Yi Yeyu nodded quietly. Reflecting on Lin Huang's transformation, she was excited to join the Heaven Alliance.

After breakfast, the siblings returned to Wanguo Hotel.

Lin Huang, on the other hand, found a professional cultivation room.

Such a cultivation room was a branch of hotels because the hotel's usual building was for light use only and could be easily damaged by cultivators.

However, cultivation rooms were made of special materials and fortified with various sigils. On one hand, it was highly durable and on the other, it gave one a certain boost in cultivation.

Although the environment was simple, business was usually good.

The reason Lin Huang wanted to book such a room was mainly that he needed a very long time to visualize his True Spirit Guide and could not be interrupted during the period of time.

Naturally, he did not visualize the True Spirit Guide on the first day of checking in. Instead, he practiced his sword. Skills. He still had two God Figurines pending and planned to only visualize the three God Figurines together when he gathered all of them.

At past ten at night, Lin Huang sent Tang Xu a message using his anonymous Emperor's Heart Ring. "I'm on the way. I'll be there in five minutes."

He used a Transformation Card to turn into a specter and got out of the cultivation room. In a secluded area, he used a Disguise Card to change into a demigod and put on a black robe. He then summoned the dimensional portal and appeared at the entrance of Wanbao Auction directly.

Tang Xu was already waiting for him at the hall as soon as he stepped in.

"Sir!" Tang Xu welcomed him immediately upon noticing his arrival. "I've prepared everything. Please check it through."

The only item that was not sold, the god relic spear Ba Huang, was placed at the most obvious spot.

The rest were the items traded for Frost Flower: a supreme-grade demigod battle sword, three expert-grade demigod relics including a sword, a saber and armor, and 20 mid-grade demigod relics which were basically common swords, sabers, spears, and armors.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang soon had his eyes on the two God Figurines. Among the two, one had the form of a roaring devil while the other was clearly a plant. However, Lin Huang could not tell what kind of plant it was.

Lin Huang put all of the items away without saying a word. Tang Xu then handed over a thumb-sized chip. "These are all of the Life Crystals obtained from the auction. We've deducted the handling fee. The rest is in there."

Lin Huang took the chip and transferred the amount to the anonymous account. The figure came up soon, and Lin Huang raised his brow looking at it. "722 billion? You didn't charge a handling fee for the auction of the god relic?"

"Sir, you showed your trust by letting us, the Wanbao Auction, sell your god relics. To us, auctioning god relics is a boost to our fame. Hence, you've done us a huge favor. This will never, ever change. We won't charge any fee as long as you bring us god relics," Tang Xu said while smiling. For the future of the Wanbao Auction, he had sacrificed a whole lot of benefits that were presented before his eyes.

"You're too kind." Lin Huang did not say much after that. He knew that it was difficult for him to return the favor when Tang Xu had given him the demigod-level soul crystal a few days ago. There was no major difference in where to auction the god relics, but at least, now it seemed that Tang Xu was a trustworthy person to deal with. He was one to collaborate with for the long term.

Tang Xu said nothing about the next auction from the beginning until Lin Huang left with the items
