“It’s Du Gang’s squad, they’re here!”

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

“They really are here!”

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

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

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

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

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

“My God, that expression…”

“I…”

I seriously want to punch someone!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Why isn’t anyone saying anything?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“This gaze, something seems off?!”

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

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

“What’s going on with these guys?”

Du Gang began to ponder deeply.

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

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

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

After thinking about it, he ruled out some guesses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Indeed, are these guys all jealous of us?

Ha, jealousy makes you lose face!

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

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

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

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

As for Qiao Bing, she sighed.

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

Was it because she wasn’t pretty enough?

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

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

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

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

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

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

But now…

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

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

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

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

The initiator of the Golden Age?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“What are these people following us for?”

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

“Shameless!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Those are over twenty Destroyers!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Someone laughed: “This is just the chicken coop, the Wolf Forest is even tougher, those who can occupy a place in Wolf Forest, are basically Controllers, all of them mastering 75 Divine Power!”

“Forget about Wolf Forest, let’s just watch if they’ll go to the chicken coop to snatch monsters…”

Just like that, Du Gang and others kept silent all the way, reached the entrance of the first level of the abyss.

Of course, this also had to do with the fact that the people behind didn’t dare to behave too recklessly. Although these people were mocking, they didn’t cross the line, they didn’t dare to directly name, they could only beat around the bush.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Dazhuang took the lead and crawled in.

“Captain, which way should we go?”

After reaching the main camp, the roads leading to the upper and lower wild areas were right in front of them. Dazhuang was a little hesitant to take the first step.

Du Gang laughed, “Don’t worry, just march forward, let’s go to the upper half of the wilderness!”

“Hu!”

After hearing this, Dazhuang took a deep breath before stepping into the upper half of the wilderness!

Unlike Du Gang and the others, his growth had been slow. He had stayed in the first level of the abyss for a very long time, always struggling in the lower half of the wilderness.

This was his first time going to the upper half of the wilderness, somewhat excited, somewhat restless, somewhat uneasy.

However, when he thought about the background and potential of the few people behind him, he eventually pressed down the fear and uneasiness in his heart and moved on courageously.

Soon, under the watchful eyes and envy of the group of people who had just returned from the lower half of the wilderness, Du Gang and others walked along the path to the upper half of the wilderness.

“I want to head to the upper wild area too…”

“Me too…”

Their voices are small but firm; however, their aspiration isn’t something that hard work alone can achieve. To make that leap, they need a more advanced technique.

Unless they could defy the heavens, progressing from one percent to two percent in understanding either the top-grade Yellow Rank or the Mystic Rank techniques.

“They actually went in!”

The twenty or so people trailing behind hesitated a bit.

“Should we tag along?”

“Why not? Let’s go and see what’s going to happen…”

“But what if the Demon Clan invades and seizes the wild area?”

In the upper wild area, powerful beings from both humanity and the Demon Clan would frequently organize themselves and invade each other’s territories.

For those who take part in this, it might be a thrilling experience, but for those with limited strength, it is extremely unfortunate!

“What’s there to be scared of? At worst we just lose our physical bodies. Isn’t it just 200 Divine Crystals…”

Although 200 Divine Crystals would take half a month or even a month to accumulate ordinarily, they seem less precious when compared to the thrill of watching Du Gang and his group.

Seeing some people go along, the others didn’t hesitate either and directly followed.

Indeed, it’s only 200 Divine Crystals. As long as their divine spirits are fine, losing their physical bodies doesn’t matter. After all, they can be reshaped and they won’t truly die!

After billions of years of battling, humans and demons in the Abyss have principally used it to train their troops, reaching a kind of tacit understanding.

Of course, this tacit understanding exists under the condition of equal strength from both sides. Once the balance of power is disrupted, what awaits them is an all-out attack.

Although both seem somewhat harmonious at present, treating this place as if it’s a trial ground where one can resurrect after dying, the truth is any side would not hesitate to kill the other when an opportunity arises!

Soon, Du Gang and the others left Menya Tower and arrived at the off-ground city walls.

“There are three paths to the wild area here. The top one leads to the Wolf Forest, the middle one to the Big Dragon Pit, and the one at the bottom goes through the Chicken Pen…”

Without any hesitation, Du Gang said, “Let’s take the path at the top, we’re heading straight to the Wolf Forest!”

“Alright!”

Dazhuang had already come this far and after adjusting his mentality, he’s not as fearful anymore.

If it comes down to dying, he would only lose 200 Divine Crystals…

But before he dies, he must put away his giant shield!

Thinking like this, Dazhuang looked affectionately at the shield he was carrying. This heirloom from his Niu ancestors cannot be lost!

The world within one’s body is similar to the divine aperture. Though it seems to be inside, they both actually exist in another dimension completely, or perhaps, another subspace. All of them are attached to their soul and are accessed with the soul imprint.

So as long as they put away their divine weapons before dying, they wouldn’t lose them.

Both sides do this actually. Du Gang and his team have hunted a considerable number of the Demon Clan members, but aside from their corpses, they virtually have no other war trophies. This is because these demons are not fools. Even if their heads are chopped off, they would put away their divine weapons at the moment of death to prevent them from getting seized by the enemy.

Therefore, in the past two years, despite engaging in thousands of fierce battles, Du Gang and his group have not seized a single divine weapon.

“They actually chose the Wolf Forest!”

The twenty or so Destroyers who came along were all surprised.

“The Wolf Forest is occupied by Controllers, how dare they go there?”

Someone shook his head, “not necessarily, they might just be going there to take a look, not definitely to loot monsters…”

“After all, it’s their first time here, they might not even know what Wolf Forest signifies. Maybe, they just want to traverse all three paths, observe the situation, and familiarize themselves with the environment.”

“I see, that’s highly probable!”

“Not highly probable, it’s a hundred percent probable. They’re certainly just here to familiarize themselves with the place!”

Although someone was saying this, they still followed. For him, taking a leisurely tour wouldn’t take that much time, he could just follow them for fun.

Seeing this, the others tagged along too, not because they shared the thought of it not being time-wasting. Instead, they felt that with Long Aotian and his group’s attitude, they would surely attract powerful beings and thus come under attack. So, they wanted to see these people get beaten up!

“I wonder if the Fu Rong team is still in the Wolf Forest…”

“They should be, they haven’t yet absorbed the essence dropped by the first-level wild monsters to the limit…”

Fu Rong?

Du Gang laughed, quite a coincidence, this Fu Rong team was his target for this trip.

“Fu Rong is indeed remarkable…”

“Yes, he only has the Mystic Level Art, but he has cultivated it to two percent of its full extent, thereby advancing his strength from 50 Naer to 75 Naer, growing from being a Destroyer to a Controller…”

“Not just that, his teammates like Jiang Tianpeng and others are all from the Ancient City, they are all Controllers, but the team leader is still Fu Rong…”

“Right, I heard that Fu Rong’s cultivation progress in the Mystic Level Art is not only two percent, but has broken zero, starting to move towards three percent, his strength must have surpassed 75 Naer!”

When the people present spoke of Fu Rong, they all used tones of admiration.

After all, like them, Fu Rong is neither of the royal family nor a major clan, but merely a normal race, yet he has gone against the heavens, achieving the status of Controller!

A hundred miles away, near the second tower on the road, in the Wild Zone of the Wolf Forest, this Wild Zone is the best among first-level Wild Zones. The entire area is U-shaped, where the nearest spots to the center are the best. Normally, only the strongest teams could secure these spots.

Because, the outer spots, interspersed with other dense forests, are the first to bear the brunt if the Demon Clan launches a surprise attack, making these areas the most dangerous and lethal.

At this moment, deep within this Wild Zone, Fu Rong’s team is taking a rest on a large piece of green rock.

“Jiang Tianpeng, have you heard about that potential team?”

Jiang Tianpeng’s brows furrowed, “I’ve heard of them!”

Fu Rong laughed, “There is a man named Du Gang among them. I heard that you were transferred away because of him?”

Jiang Tianpeng, at that time along with a few others, teamed up to fight Kong Luo, and ended up being defeated by the outnumbered opponent.

Since then, the Jiang family called Jiang Tianpeng back, not only cancelling his Sequential Disciple status, but also sent him to the Abyss to serve.

For their kind of service, they don’t need to join regular armies, they can form a team freely, as long as they go into the Abyss to fight the Demon Clan, they can form the team however they want.

Upon seeing his silence, Fu Rong joked: “This time, Du Gang’s team is bound to come to the upper Wild Zone. Shall we go and cause them some trouble to vent your anger?”

Although Jiang Tianpeng was somewhat tempted, recalling what an elder of the Jiang family had told him, he shook his head in the end.

“It’s pointless, they are still just Destroyers, that’s because they have just been promoted to Divinity and their divine power isn’t that strong. However, once they rise to be Controllers…”

“Even if I insult them now, once they become powerful, I would still get insulted back!”

He was not stupid. In the Abyss, even if he destroys Du Gang’s body, as long as his spirit is not dead, he could still resurrect himself, so it is pointless.

Moreover, he is only collateral kin and not the main lineage of the Jiang family. He hasn’t learned the Supreme Technique, the most powerful technique he has is a mere Saintly Art. Currently, reaching an attack power of 75 Naer is already the limit, the next step would be to advance his cultivation from one percent to two like Fu Rong.

But this thing, although it seems simple with only one percent difference, the actual difficulty is as hard as reaching the sky, extremely challenging!

But at this moment, a disturbance suddenly came from the periphery.

“What’s going on?”

Fu Rong frowned and looked outside, wondering, “It’s not yet time for the wild beasts to respawn. Could it be that the Demon Clan has organized a raid to steal the wild beasts?”

Seeing this situation, all five of them went on alert, each ascending to a higher vantage point, standing on the treetops, looking towards the periphery.

They saw a team carrying a huge shield, moving towards this place surrounded by others.

“Doesn’t look like the Demon Clan is attacking…”

“The huge shield, it’s Niu Family’s people, could it be that Niu Family’s simpleton wants to grab a spot?”

“No, that simpleton from the Niu Family has already maxed out on first level wild monster essence farming, he should have gone to the river…”

Currently, Niu Dazhuang was leading the way and his body blocked half of the view, sheltering Du Gang and others thoroughly. Unless someone was standing on the side, others facing the front mostly couldn’t see them.

“Who are these guys?”

At this moment, the powerhouses around the Wolf forest of Du Gang’s team were asking with frowns.

“The one leading is from the Niu family… look at the two people in the middle, one with dragon horns on their head and one with a hook-nose like an eagle, they are from the Ancient City…”

“Ordinary people from the Ancient City wouldn’t show this kind of posture, this team seems not to be simple…”

Suddenly, someone recalled the news that was spread earlier, and said, frowning: “Could this be the team that allegedly reached the Destroyer rank within two years of ascending to Divinity?”

“Is it them? It seems like it, someone mentioned earlier that they were heading towards the upper Wild Zone…”

“But, what are they doing in the Wolf Forest? Surely, are they attempting to seize a spot?”

Someone sneered, “Even if they are from the ancient city, if they don’t showcase their power and fight, otherwise, hmph hmph!”

Everyone present was a prodigy; none willing to be looked down upon.

“Heh, you might not be aware, but the third and second in this group are named Long Aotian and Little Hawk King, they are both direct descendants of the ancient city…”

“Direct descendants so what? In the abyss, might makes right!”

Then, someone shook their head, “Not only are they direct descendants; I heard before that both of their fathers are Celestial God Level Great Powers!”

“What?”

The audience was taken aback, somewhat incredulous.

Great Powers, in some minor clans, are considered the strongest, the clan’s pillars.

And in this group, there are actually two sons of Great Powers?!

“Such a background…”

Everyone fell silent.

This sort of top-level second-generation had not only the background of their families but also relatives that are Great Powers – they belonged to the bunch of people who are most unwise to provoke.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Fu Rong?”

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

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

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

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

“So, they have a grudge….”

Everyone suddenly understood and promptly became spirited again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Du Gang?”

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

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

How could he dare to come over?!

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

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

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

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

“Thump, Thump!”

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

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

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

“Humph!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Hiss~!”

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

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

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

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

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

“Haha!”

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

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

“You want this spot?”

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

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

“Thump!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Hiss~! ”

The people present gasped.

Supreme Technique!

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

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

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

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

Upon hearing this, everyone present was immensely shocked.

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

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

Controllers!

Those words pierced through everyone present like needles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The threatening overtone was all too obvious!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fu Rong laughed.

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

Jiang Tianpeng, hearing this, was greatly relieved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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