Chapter 452

"I also have great confidence in the others."

"Hmph, except for Via, whom I won't provoke,"

"you all can go ahead and break the cities!"

"In the end, it will all be mine anyway."

Pan Tuo had already made up his mind: before City No. 1 opens, he would first snatch the treasures from the other geniuses who had broken through the cities.

…………

In front of City No. 2, a shiny bald head flew out of the square in front of the palace in a disheveled state.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Duan Ye patted the dust off his face.

"What is this? I'm a martial arts lord, and they actually made me play chess."

"I wanted to take back a move, and the guardian just beat me out directly?"

"Every time I land face-first, can't you have some public morality!" Duan Ye was somewhat depressed.

He wanted to amaze everyone and break through City No. 2 directly.

But the difficulty was too high, and he had already hit a wall many times.

"Damn it, I can't stay in this City No. 2 for another moment. Is there anyone willing to trade?"

"I remember the intelligence pushed by the Xing Society Alliance earlier; City No. 9 and City No. 5 seem like good choices."

Duan Ye's mental energy entered the virtual world.

But only then did he discover that City No. 9 had already been breached.

"Hiss, this little brother is really fierce; he's only been here a few days and he's already breached the city."

"Hmm? Via also breached City No. 7."

"Forget it..." Duan Ye thought for a moment and stopped his steps. "I'd better stay here; pondering that exquisite chessboard can also increase my comprehension of the rules."

In front of City No. 1, a young man with a crew cut carrying a large sword looked at the sky with an expressionless face.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes again and continued to ponder the inheritance trial left by City No. 1.

In Tuosen's heart, he never compared himself to anyone, because in his eyes, there was only one opponent, and that was himself.

In front of City No. 5.

A Phantom Spirit Tree and a Twin Lotus surrounded the entire city.

Lian Rong and Qiye were taking turns clearing the trial,

exchanging insights with each other.

Suddenly—

They saw the rosy light omens of City No. 7 and City No. 9.

"Zhao Xing has breached another city," Lian Rong looked in the direction of City No. 9. "So fast. After obtaining the Bone Tree, he seems to have soared into the sky."

"Junior Sister," Qiye sat upright. "I must correct you; Zhao Xing is inherently very strong. When he cleared the Bone Tree trial, he already had the strength of the third layer of the Yan Shen Jue."

"Oh, Senior Brother, you are too serious; why be so rigorous?" Lian Rong rolled her eyes.

"Illusory realms require the most rigor," Qiye said, still dead serious. "Illusory realms are inherently false; if there are still traces left behind, it is very easy to be seen through."

"If I can make the illusion unfolded by the Phantom Spirit Tree completely real in its rule comprehension, allowing people to cultivate inside it, that would be a true master of illusion."

"And rigor and rationality are absolutely indispensable..."

Qiye was still nagging, but Lian Rong directly closed her five senses, and the world suddenly became quiet.

Inside City No. 9.

Zhao Xing jumped onto the Soul Chariot and flew out of the city.

His Emperor-grade troops, Star-Eater, Bilo, and Mo Yun, had all broken through to the Emperor-grade.

As for the Extreme Flame Poison Fire Vine and the Blood Rainbow Ginseng, they were already Emperor-grade to begin with.

Originally, Zhao Xing also wanted to elevate the Underworld Flame, Thousand Sounds, Water Demon Mushroom, and even the Ancient Life Tree and Colossus Tree to the Emperor-grade.

Doing so would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Breakthroughs need to happen in the outside world, not in the internal world.

Via had already cleared City No. 7, and Zhao Xing didn't want to waste any more time waiting.

"City No. 1 is occupied by Tuosen."

"City No. 2 is Duan Ye."

"City No. 3 is occupied by Li Pu and four plant lords; Li Pu is from the Life Research Institute, so he counts as one of our own, making it hard to make a move."

"City No. 4 is Aligu, a beast lord, possessing several Emperor-grade giant beasts."

"City No. 5 is Lian Rong and Qiye, both of whom are also peripheral members of the Life Research Institute."

"City No. 6 is occupied by the mechanical martial artist Pan Tuo."

"City No. 7 has already been taken by Via."

"City No. 8 is the undead lord Catherine, along with Hela, who is also a member of the Necrotic Temple."

"City No. 10 is Lan Caidie."

Zhao Xing looked at the intelligence push from the Xing Society Alliance.

To decide on snatching the mechanical angel, he had to choose an opponent.

In front of City No. 3 and City No. 5, there were members of the Life Research Institute.

It was only after joining that he learned that Li Pu, Qiye, Lian Rong, and even Life were peripheral members of the Life Research Institute.

Of course, it wasn't impossible to snatch from them.

There was no friendship to speak of, and in fair competition, no one could say anything.

"Let's start with this Pan Tuo!"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Earlier, when he was clearing the trial, that mechanical martial artist Pan Tuo had clamored and spoken publicly, telling him to come and challenge him.

It was clearly meant to step on him.

He hadn't paid attention at the time because he was comprehending the Ten Thousand Year Growth Map.

But now, Zhao Xing didn't mind trying to test his depth.

"Master."

"Just now, Pan Tuo posted a battle challenge on the Xing Society Alliance forum."

Suddenly, in the virtual world, Zero reminded him.

"Hmm? A battle challenge?"

Zhao Xing immediately opened the forum in his private space to check.

Pan Tuo had posted a battle challenge on the Xing Society Alliance's Origin Realm forum.

He stated that he was about to clear City No. 6 and wanted to have a gambling battle with him.

And the stake was the treasure from City No. 9.

"Wants to have a gambling battle with me?"

"And he posted a challenge, naming me specifically, saying he wants to gamble for the mechanical troops of City No. 9."

After reading it, Zhao Xing immediately knew that Pan Tuo must know about Raphael.

"Master, Pan Tuo is in the public rest area of the Xing Society Alliance, inviting you to sign a gambling battle contract, with the Xing Society Alliance acting as a notary," Zero said suddenly.

"Oh? So impatient?" Zhao Xing sneered.

He had just taken City No. 9, and this Pan Tuo had already issued a gambling invitation.

"The public area is currently gathered with quite a few people, and he is also boasting in the public area that geniuses from the other cities can also fight him," Zero reported the real-time dynamics.

"Arrogant!"

This Pan Tuo was simply arrogant beyond measure!

He actually wanted to challenge everyone!

"Swish~"

The next second, Zhao Xing's figure appeared on the floating island, in the Xing Society Alliance's Origin Realm area.

Everything here was exactly the same as the Origin Realm base.

The public rest area was currently bustling with people.

Pan Tuo was standing above a square, as if waiting.

Facing the discussions of the crowd, Pan Tuo ignored them completely.
