Chapter 3735: Being looked down on
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ling Han couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself. How could this Zhao Yongsi have imagined that he wasn’t some rich second-generation young master who had only gotten a connection device right after advancing into the Foundation Building Tier?
They were both Foundation Building Tier cultivators, and he was confident that he could completely thrash even five-star geniuses of Ultimate Dao Foundation. Then what was this Zhao Yongsi worth?
“Come, you win if you can block ten moves from me.” Ling Han crooked a finger at him.
Zhao Yongsi couldn’t help but feel enraged. He was a well-known existence among the younger generation of the Flying Origin Planet, and came from an extraordinary background. It was also because of this that the rules of his clan were very strict. Only after pa.s.sing the mental trial, was he allowed a connection device and come into contact with the wider world.
The reason why he was not allowed to come into contact with Galaxy Network at the first instant was because he feared that his Dao Heart would be unstable, and he would lose all confidence from being beaten by an even stronger prodigy.
After this mental trial, his Dao Heart had stabilized. No matter how badly he was thrashed, he would not be so dispirited that he would lose his fighting spirit, that he would become a piece of trash right after losing a battle.
Thus, even though he wasn’t ranked in the Galaxy Network, in terms of true strength, he could be ranked in the top 20 Foundation Building Tiers on the Flying Origin Planet. This was still because he was a Heavenly Dao Foundation.
When he advanced into Ultimate Dao Foundation, he should be the top elite. After all, he was a four-star genius, and only one would appear in each generation.
Of course, in the universe, there were quite a number of four-star geniuses, and there were even freakish geniuses surpa.s.sing four stars.
A great prodigy like him, a great elite, and someone actually said that he would be defeated within ten moves?
Hehe, what a joke, the biggest joke in the world.
“Shameless boasting!” he smirked coldly. Then, with a leap, he charged towards Ling Han, “Brat, today, I will let you know what the difference in strength means. Remember this lesson and my name. Very soon, I, Zhao Yongsi, will become famous throughout the world!”
Ling Han stood still, waiting for his opponent to reach him. Only then did he throw a punch.
Zhao Yongsi faced the attack head-on. Boom! The two powers collided, and his expression immediately changed drastically. However, the majestic energy had already surged over, sending him flying.
Actually, there was no real clash of power. It was just that the Galaxy Network platform had simulated their mystical power, Spiritual Power, and corresponding techniques.
Why did it seem so real?
That naturally was the power of the Great Emperor. Every Ancestral King stood at the pinnacle of the world, and had been invincible for an era. Aside from being unable to attain immortality, they were definitely omnipotent.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “Is that all you’ve got? Then you mightn’t even be able to withstand three moves.”
He did not use his full strength, but even so, the power of that punch was still not something that Zhao Yongsi could contend against.
Zhao Yongsi was slightly taken aback. If it was not for the fact that the number of Ling Han’s battles could not be faked, he would really suspect that this was a Cauldron Forging Tier or even stronger prodigy that had suppressed his cultivation level and was battling him.
Why was he so strong?
He was already a super rookie, so how could there be anyone more outstanding than him?
Zhao Yongsi did not believe this. He roared loudly, and charged towards Ling Han again.
Ling Han was completely unconcerned. He stretched out a hand to press, lay, control and parry, yet easily blocked all of Zhao Yongsi’s attacks. Furthermore, after each time he had defended, he still had excess power to blast towards Zhao Yongsi, causing him to feel incredibly terrible.
“Nine moves?” he asked with a smile.
Zhao Yongsi did not speak. He already knew that it was impossible for him to defeat Ling Han. His only hope was to withstand ten moves from Ling Han. In that way, at least he would not lose completely.
“Ah!” he roared loudly, channelling his strongest celestial technique. High- level energy surged, and his right hand actually turned into a green dragon’s head, which blasted towards Ling Han.
Ling Han also became slightly more serious as he unleashed his Demonic Monkey Fists at Zhao Yongsi.
Peng!
The Demonic Monkey Fists gave rise to boundless might, and was not something that Zhao Yongsi could stand against at all. With a single strike, he was sent flying, and his body turned into bits of light that immediately disappeared without a trace.
“Congratulations on obtaining your first victory. In this battle, you have obtained ten points. Seven hours later, the rankings will be updated according to the points.”
The basis for matching for the level battles was points. It was always those who had about the same points that would be exchanging blows with each other. Those who were stronger would rapidly rise, and those whose abilities were weak would be stuck at a certain point range, neither high nor low.
Because a loss would result in a deduction of points.
—Of course, for example, Zhao Yongsi had zero points in the first place, so there were no points to be deducted. There would not be any situation of negative points.
Ling Han also left the battle area. He returned to his “room” and continued to line up for the ranking battles. Another hour or so pa.s.sed.
According to the rules of the tournament, the ranking battles would only be effective for the first three battles every day. Afterward, in any consecutive battle, and no matter who won or lost, there would be no points added or subtracted — the same was true for the opponent.
The ranking battles would be matched according to points. If one defeated someone who was ranked higher than himself, the points they would obtain would correspondingly be slightly more, and if they lost to someone who was ranked lower than themselves, the points deducted would also be slightly more.
Some people had calculated that even if they maintained a battle merit of complete victory, and fighting three rounds every day, it would still take at least a year to be able to enter into the top 1000.
If they could directly issue a challenge, perhaps a rookie would immediately become the strongest person in the rankings, but that was too exaggerated, and the current level battles could guarantee those in the top 1000 or top 10,000 were definitely true prodigies.
Ling Han went to the forum to take a look, and discovered that there were a great many additional posts on it. They were all directed at his “fleeing before battle”, expressing strong disdain towards him.
He went to open the tournament stage again, but no one came to accept the challenge. Instead, they sent him private messages, and insulted him for a while, forcing Ling Han to activate the function of only receiving private messages from his friends. Only then did the commotion finally calm down.
Yi, previously, he had only gone to partic.i.p.ate in the level battle, and that was actually seen by others as abandoning the battle and becoming a deserter?
Forget it. He had also earned a considerable amount of Universe Coins today. Furthermore, as an elite, he could not stay at this level all the time. That was beneath him, and it would not be easy for him to earn a lot of money in future.
Ling Han didn’t exit the Galaxy Network platform. Instead, he went to the Alchemical Pill Hall.
Here, there were a great many alchemists selling alchemical pills. As long as you paid, you could directly get someone to pick up the goods. Of course, you could also choose to have the goods sent over, as long as the place you were at had a galaxy-level Transfer Formation.
—The transportation fees would be covered by the buyer.
Alchemists were a very rare profession, and the appearance of the Galaxy Network was extremely beneficial for alchemists. It could allow more people to fight over limited resources, which naturally doubled the status of alchemists.
What Ling Han wanted was not alchemical pills, but rather suitable pill recipes.
Pill recipes were unique. As long as they appeared once on the Galaxy Network platform, only the first seller would be able to continue selling them. The others would be counted as pirated copies, and if they were discovered, the culprit would be heavily punished.
Ling Han searched for the pill recipe that was most suited to him at this moment.
Firstly, he was presently only Foundation Building Tier, so his spiritual power was limited. At most, he could only concoct Two Star alchemical pills, which was also applicable to those in Cauldron Forging Tier. This was a very large restriction.
Secondly, he wanted to find a pill recipe that few other alchemists could concoct. This way, he could also concoct a cauldron’s worth of alchemical pills, but the profits would be ten times or even a hundred times that of alchemists of the same level.
“It’s you!”
