I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 167 - 167: 166: Achieving Three-Star Asura!

Translator: 549690339

The address Bai Xiaosheng sent was one hundred light-years away. To get there, Du Gang needed to make his spaceship jump there.

However, random jumps were not allowed within the White Dragon Mountain Cosmic Nation. That is to say, space nodes in most places had been blocked off. Only in some designated public areas was one permitted to jump.

There were places within the Virtual Universe Corporation where jumps were possible, but as an Outer Sect Disciple, Du Gang did not have the authority to use them.

As a result, he had to leave the company. Following the navigation system, he flew his Ancient God for more than half an hour before he finally left the company and reached a public jump zone.

Even though it was a public jump zone, there were strict controls, analogous to a multi-storey carpark. There were designated spaces for jumping according to the size and class of the ships on both sides of the middle aisle for flight.

For instance, the Ancient God, being a one-star ship and fifty meters long, could only jump from Zone One.

Similarly, other ships of different classes could only jump from their corresponding zones, or they would face severe penalties.

Besides that, before jumping, one needed to search for a public jump zone near the target location and find the one nearest to Bai Xiaosheng.

After that, they had to search for the code of that public jump zone and find out which nodes were vacant and which ones had ships.

Luckily for him, Barala took care of all these tasks.

Moreover, before they embarked, they had already reported their destination to the Space Jump Management Center and got in line for their turn in advance. Just in time, when they reached their destination, they were able to jump right away.

“Whoosh!”

The Ancient God arrived at another public jump zone without any abrupt movements. Then, a system electronic voice reminded them to leave as soon as possible.

After flying out of the zone, Du Gang finally drove the Ancient God towards Bai Xiaosheng’s place.

To be honest, he wanted to truly experience the potency of a fourth-layer domain.

In no time, he arrived at a closely-guarded luxurious mansion district.

Bai Xiaosheng had clearly informed them beforehand; all the patrolling universal guards along the way ignored the Ancient God.

In a moment, they flew to an extremely luxurious house.

Bai Xiaosheng was standing on the ground by himself, with an indifferent expression. On seeing Du Gang arrive, he waved to signal him.

As Du Gang put away the Ancient God, he looked around and asked directly, “Where are we going for the fight? Where’s the arena?”

“Hehe!”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, “You’re not really looking to fight in reality, are you?”

He ruefully said, “In reality, I wouldn’t dare to fight you. If I ended up killing you, I’d be in big trouble!”

Honestly, although his Bai family was a top-level family within White Dragon Mountain, this was only in comparison to ordinary people.

If they provoked any of the big four corporations, they’d wind up grimly.

Especially with someone as young and gifted as Du Gang; he was a key figure under special attention within the virtual universe.

Although within the four large corporations, rank is ascertained based solely on cultivation level regardless of talent.

But in reality, there was another ranking system unknown to outsiders!

Du Gang’s current rating was at A-level. Although it wouldn’t bring him any advantages for now, there were designated people keeping an eye on him.

“Let’s go to the Virtual Universe.”

Bai Xiaosheng lifted his wrist slightly, revealing his code. He exchanged numbers with Du Gang and then chuckled, “There is a specialised sparring ground in the Virtual Universe. You just need to go in; I’ll invite you!”

Seeing this, Du Gang took out his Worries Relief Spear from the Storage Ring, holding it in his hand, and entered the Virtual Universe.

As soon as he entered, he received an invite from Bai Xiaosheng.

[ Bai Xiaosheng invites you to a duel. Do you accept?]

After he accepted the invitation, there was a flash of white light. The next moment, he was standing on an arena.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Du Gang who entered and said, “Come on, show me what you’ve got. Attack me, and I’ll evaluate you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Du Gang had already employed the Skyward Third Transformation.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, he appeared behind Bai Xiaosheng.

The spear with the Sharp Gold Mystery attached to the double domain was already thrusting out.

“Pah!”

With one stroke of the spear, he created a sonic boom in the air.

His spear missed as Bai Xiaosheng had vanished in a split second. The next moment, he reappeared a hundred meters away.

“Incredible speed!”

Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed, “I actually had to use a skill to escape from you!”

However, Du Gang paid him no heed. The moment his enemy disappeared, he vanished as well and instantly reappeared behind Bai Xiaosheng again.

“Whoosh!”

Another spear was thrust out.

“Pah!”

Another sonic boom rang out.

“Incredible! Your speed has already surpassed most people! Even someone with a triple domain, or even a quadruple domain, if they haven’t practiced a high-level movement skill, they absolutely won’t be able to keep up with you!”

He didn’t mention the issue of killing; Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t counter-attacked despite Du Gang attacking twice. Otherwise, with his four domains, he could have easily suppressed Du Gang’s double domain.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

It was only after several consecutive pursuits that Bai Xiaosheng laughed and announced, “That will do. I’ve got a good idea of your speed. Now, time to see your attack power!”

The words seemed more directed at him rather than at Du Gang.

For Du Gang hadn’t paid attention to Bai Xiaosheng, continuing on with his attack in his dogged way.

“Whoosh!”

He stabbed out with his spear again.

“Clang! ”

This time, Bai Xiaosheng used a fan of a hundred folds to block it.

“The attack power is decent, a Gold Element attack attribute with the mystery of Laws, right?”

Ignoring everything, Du Gang cast his ultimate move, suddenly, thousands of spear shadows emerged, charging towards Bai Xiaosheng.

“Whoosh!”

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t use his Domain to resist, instead he casually threw out the fan in his hand.

In an instant, this fan manifested countless shadow fans, catching all of his spears. “Sharp Gold!”

“War Gold!”

Two more attacks from Du Gang imbued with the Laws’ mystery.

“Snap, snap!”

Again, it was blocked with the fan.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, “Do you have any other tricks?”

With a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth, Du Gang opened his Secret Domain in the next second and he suddenly disappeared.

“Oh, you’ve really got quite a few tricks!”

Bai Xiaosheng was surprised for a moment, then he opened his Domain and began to explore all around.

He was genuinely surprised this time, for he really didn’t know where Du Gang was hiding.

At that moment, a spear suddenly appeared behind him, shooting towards him.

“So, you’re here!”

Bai Xiaosheng vanished in an instant and appeared where Du Gang had thrown the spear.

“Bang bang bang!”

After several continuous attacks, Bai Xiaosheng was surprised to find that his attacks had missed.

“Well played!”

He didn’t expect Du Gang to be this tough!

After pondering for a moment, he didn’t have a better plan, so he could only stand still and wait in silence.

At the periphery of the Domain, a spear would occasionally appear out of thin air, shooting towards the Domain.

But it was useless, every spear was stopped the moment it entered the Domain, then Bai Xiaosheng casually threw it out.

He was only testing Du Gang’s strength, not really trying to win, so he couldn’t hold onto the weapon.

After several attacks, Bai Xiaosheng said helplessly, “Stop throwing your spear, who throws it around like that?”

He was speechless, Du Gang was simply like a primitive barbarian, constantly shooting the spear.

“Swoosh!”

He had just finished speaking when suddenly another spear shot towards the back of his head.

“I’m telling you…” Bai Xiaosheng was just about to turn his head and speak.

Suddenly after he turned his head, Du Gang’s figure appeared behind him.

He saw him move at an incredibly fast speed, quickly traversing the Domain and approaching Bai Xiaosheng’s body.

“Stop!”

Finally, when his palm was only a person’s distance away from Bai Xiaosheng, he was frozen on the spot.

“Good move!”

Bai Xiaosheng turned around and looked at Du Gang, who was frozen before him, and praised, “This series of attacks, they’re pretty good..

“Knowing that I’d return the weapon to you, you kept throwing it to irritate me, right?”

“Just when I was getting impatient, you launched your real attack. This chain of battle flows, were they thought up on the spot during the real fight?”

“Clap, clap, clap!”

Bai Xiaosheng gave him applause, praising, “I must say, your battle consciousness is really good, better than most people!”

After releasing the control and letting Du Gang go, he laughed, “Okay, the test is over, 10 billion, I’ll transfer it to you now!”

With a shift in his voice, the two left the arena and reappeared inside a manor in the virtual universe.

“Huh?”

Du Gang looked around the environment with surprise, it was exactly the same as Bai Xiaosheng’s mansion he had seen in the real world.

If it weren’t for the fact that only he himself can command an exit from the virtual universe, he would have thought he had left it.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, “This is the house I bought in the virtual universe, the same layout as the one in reality…’

Du Gang fell silent.

He had seen houses in the virtual universe, their prices were not cheap and beyond his affordability!

Soon, Bai Xiaosheng transfered the 10 billion to him.

[Bai Xiaosheng requests to use 10 billion for the exclusive copyright of this battle video, do you agree?]

Du Gang clicked agree and immediately received the 10 billion.

After confirming the receipt of the money, Du Gang thought for two seconds before saying, “Can I ask you a question?” Bai Xiaosheng was interested, “Go ahead!”

“I want to know, is my strength really worth 10 billion?”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, “It might be worth it, it might not be. But, for me, ten billion isn’t much. It’s worth it just to broaden my horizons.”

“But there are always people who like to know their friends as well as their enemies. So, there will always be buyers for my information!”

Du Gang nodded and asked, “Does your place have any lending companies?

Bai Xiaosheng shrugged, “Do you think the Cosmic Bank would allow companies that don’t produce and make money from money to take their jobs?”

“So if I want to borrow money, I can only go to the Cosmic Bank?”

Bai Xiaosheng asked, “How much do you plan on borrowing?”

“Fifty billion! ”

With the hundred billion and five hundred thousand points that Du Gang currently has, if he could gather another fifty billion, he would be able to exchange it for a subsequent seventh-rank technique.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, “That large an amount, the Cosmic Bank will not lend. They only lend such numbers to large families with fixed assets. Like the Outer Sect disciples of your four major companies, the loan limits aren’t high…

On hearing this, Du Gang asked in confusion, “Aren’t you one of the four major companies?”

Bai Xiaosheng understood his meaning and laughed, “The four major companies span the entire universe. Anyone who wants to rise quickly can only join them. I’m not one now, but once the open audition ends, I will be!”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s simple…”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, “For instance, if I join your Virtual Universe Company, my guide might just be a Universe-level employee… ”

“But, when I qualify to advance to the next round, there will be a Domain Lord Level person inviting me. At that time, my guide would be a Domain Lord Level strongman!”

Du Gang frowned and said, “Your top-level families should have many Domain Lord Level strongmen too, right?”

“Quite a lot!”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed and said, “But the difference lies in the level of the Domain Lord. If it’s an employee, it’s fine, but if it’s a Domain Lord Level core disciple, then they must have an Eternal Level master!”

“What?”

Du Gang exclaimed, this was the first time he had heard of the Eternal Level.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, “That’s right, they indeed have an Eternal Level master!”

He explained, “Registered disciples, external disciples, and even internal disciples, are all evaluated based on whether they became Planetary, Stellar, or

Universe level within a certain time… ”

“But the Domain Lord Level is different. Internal disciples who want to become core disciples need to compete. Among the numerous internal disciples, even if they become Domain Lord Level, they will still have to compete… ”

“Only those who succeed in the competition will be promoted to core disciples. At that time, there will be Eternal Level powerhouses coming to take them as disciples! ”

Du Gang’s eyes lit up instantly.

If he had an Eternal Level master, would someone pick up the tab for the resources he lacked during his cultivation?

Bai Xiaosheng laughed and said, “So, you understand now, right? Not just me, other family princes, including Kirin Child, are waiting for this competition. If they are promoted, they will be invited by Domain Lord Level strongmen… ‘

“The guide is a semi-teacher and semi-friend. They can help you over a long future journey… ‘

“Moreover, even if you don’t get promoted in the end, can’t you still join one of the four major companies?

Du Gang suddenly realized. These people were still a long way from their term of ten thousand years. Even if they fail this time, they could still join the four major companies after the next competition!

The two of them chatted for a bit more before they exited the virtual universe.

Bai Xiaosheng wanted to invite Du Gang to have a meal together, but Du Gang declined.

“I need to go back to cultivate. Dining is meaningless!”

Watching Du Gang turn and leave after his declination, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help shaking his head.

“You guys from the suburbs are really hard-working!”

Du Gang, who had returned to his manor in the same way, was finally in complete peace.

Regarding the matter that he was still fifty billion short to exchange for a subsequent seventh-rank technique, he was not in a hurry.

Anyway, he had not yet reached the limits of the two mysteries he had just learned. He’ll get to it when the time comes.

So, between the Critical Strike Mystery and the Blade-sharp Mystery, Du Gang ultimately chose the former.

Compared to the Blade-sharp Mystery which only increased armor penetration, the benefits to him were greater once the Critical Strike Mystery achieved perfection.

A critical hit, in the midst of battle, can double your attack due to factors such as emotions and the intensity of the battle.

He didn’t know why there would be a mystery that included the chance of critical hits. but thinking about it. the world is made un of laws. so everything

that appears in the world can be explained by laws!

This means that what exists in the game must exist in reality.

So, he had no trouble understanding critical hits!

For this reason, he specifically searched online for a mystery about evasion.

He really found it. It was a Wind Element mystery. After comprehending it, there really was a chance to dodge the enemy’s attack…

The following time, Du Gang was very quiet in his manor, quietly cultivating the Critical Strike Mystery.

After ten whole days, he had gained nothing at all!

This made him somewhat troubled. You should know that no matter what mystery he had comprehended before, it was always very fast.

“Let’s see if it can be improved in actual combat?”

After getting no results from quiet cultivation, Du Gang thought to go to the Killing Field and fight.

There are only two ways to practice law and mystery, one is quiet cultivation, and the other is actual combat.

If quiet cultivation didn’t work, then he could only go into combat!

Soon, he went into the Asura special ring and started fighting.

This time, Du Gang didn’t choose to dawdle.

Because there was no meaning in it.

In the Asura ring, winning one battle could earn a hundred White Dragon coins. According to the calculation of one hundred and forty-four games a day, he could earn more than ten thousand White Dragon coins in a day.

This meant that he could only gather about 300,000 White Dragon coins a month. There’s still a massive gap between this and the 5 billion White Dragon coins.

Therefore, instead of earning money from the Killing Field, wouldn’t it be better to hone his fighting skills there?

Understanding this, Du Gang stopped holding back and began killing ceaselessly in Asura’s domain.

With every encounter, he used Skyward Nine Transformations’ Third Transformation to approach the enemy, then attacked with the Critical Strike Mystery.

Undoubtedly, with his current skills, he was virtually invincible at this point in time.

Therefore, he won all one thousand matchups without exception. And he did so in less than three hours, averaging about ten seconds per fight.

What’s even more surprising is that his previously stagnant Critical Strike Mystery increased by 1% after these thousand fights, reaching a total progression of 2%!

“As long as it’s effective!”

Du Gang was overjoyed, spurring him to fight even harder.

In the span of one day, he engaged in nearly ten thousand fights, raising the Critical Strike Mystery’s level to 10%.

In his advancement match to become a one-star Asura, he encountered a Wind Element power user capable of exercising triple Domains.

The opponent had yellow hair, dressed stylishly, and looked very young. Obviously, this was a contender from within the White Dragon Mountain realm.

Du Gang tried to surprise his opponent right at the start, but his opponent managed to dodge it.

Immediately after, the tables were quickly turned. Du Gang began to run, and the enemy started a relentless pursuit. He could only flee when faced with a triple Domain user.

Fortunately, he wasn’t slow. Although the Wind Element triple Domain user was incredibly fast, he was still no match for Du Gang.

If Du Gang’s speed was akin to one-third the speed of light, then his opponent was at least half as slow.

“Stop in your tracks!”

The yellow-haired man was extremely annoyed. He was nearly assassinated by someone from a double Domain.

If he had been successfully assassinated, he would have died of embarrassment!

Meanwhile, Du Gang continuously pondered his strategy as he fled.

The main reason he could not inflict any damage on the triple, or even quadruple Domain users, was because their Domain seemed to suppress him too greatly.

But just as Fu Wenrui once said, if he could surpass the reaction speed of some triple Domain users, then he could successfully execute a sneak attack.

Therefore…

Du Gang conjured a plan in his mind and decided to give it a try.

Thus, after fleeing once more, he swiftly used his Secret Domain to completely conceal himself, just as his enemy was about to launch a high-speed pursuit. He then executed a surprise counter-attack.

As far as his enemy was concerned, Du Gang had merely fled once again, completely oblivious to the fact that Du Gang had actually circled back.

“This might actually work!”

This time, Du Gang was swift. And with the enemy also sprinting towards him, one person achieved a third of the speed of light while the other attained a sixth. Since the two were moving in opposite directions and the distance between them wasn’t too far, it felt as if they were colliding at half the speed of light.

“Pat!”

They instantly brushed past each other, one was completely oblivious, while the other was completely prepared.

A flash of white, and the yellow-haired man who was chasing Du Gang vanished.

see!”

There was happiness in Du Gang’s smile.

This was his first time killing a triple Domain user!

Indeed, triple Domain users were an overpowering force for him. However, when both of them combined, they could exceed the reaction speed of the triple Domain user. This meant that counter-kills were entirely possible!

Under normal circumstances, Du Gang would not be able to achieve such a speed. However, thanks to the Skyward Nine Transformations, he was able to exceed the speed limit achievable at his current level.

“So, in the future, I can counter-kill any wind-element triple Domain user in this manner!”

After killing his first triple Domain user, Du Gang immediately gained confidence.

“Indeed, only through battles can I continuously accumulate experience!” After attaining the title of a one-star Asura, Du Gang did not rest, but continued to fight.

After becoming a one-star Asura, his enemies became progressively stronger.

Most of them were triple Domain power users, both young and old.

At the beginning of every battle, he would always initiate a sneak attack.

However, triple Domain users were different from double Domain users.

They were able to become one-star Asuras because they were all experienced. From the start of the battle, they would immediately construct a Domain.

Therefore, whenever Du Gang was only a spear’s length away from his enemy, they would always react in time, whether by evading or defending, to fend off his attack.

Generally, when facing Wind Element opponents, he would use the previous method, combining both his and his opponents’ efforts, to counter-kill the enemy.

If he met opponents from other elements, the situation of the enemy being unable to keep up with him while he was unable to kill the enemy would occur. In tie scenarios, the match would usually end in a draw.

Aside from this, Du Gang also discovered another situation.

He was able to kill triple Domain users from the Wood Element!

With the boost from the Sharp-Gold War-Gold Domain, Du Gang’s Critical Strike Mystery often had a certain probability of instantly killing the enemy.

So, when he encountered Wood Element opponents, he would continuously increase his attack count, hoping to trigger a critical strike and instant kill.

This feeling made Du Gang indispensable.

Time passed slowly in this way.

In a month’s time, Du Gang had fought hundreds of thousands of battles.

The once one-star Asura had advanced and become a three-star Asura.

The number of Wind Element and Wood Element triple Domain users he had killed reached tens of thousands!

But today, just as he was about to begin another battle, there came an announcement.

“Du Gang, the rules for the finals of the Open Audition have been published..

You can come out now!”
