The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 168: Heizi Speaks! (2K Monthly Vote Bonus)
Understanding the strange atmosphere on-site, Zhu Haomiao glanced at his Purple Gold [Dragon Emblem] and nodded with a smile.
"Hmm."
Immediately, a thought crossed Wang Hua's mind, and his mouth involuntarily curled into a crazy grin.
Turning around, Wang Hua swiveled his neck to look around, his face showing unabashed smugness and pride.
Speak, Blackie!!!
After a brief shock, the dominion-level Transcendents with [Dao Heart] quickly regained their composure and offered polite smiles.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
...
They were not only congratulating Zhu Haomiao but also Wang Hua, congratulating China on gaining another dominion-level Transcendent, the future [Human God]!
"Thank you."
Zhu Haomiao nodded humbly in response, but after losing the divine shield of dual [Pupation], the authority of various Original Sins was wantonly unleashed.
No matter how genteel and polite his actions and words were, there was always a sense of superiority and a casual, bewitching charm in the eyes of others.
Merely having the youth's gaze sweep over them, women like Li Zhenxi, among other dominion-level Transcendents, involuntarily experienced an electric thrill.
A tingling, numbing sensation surged like a current, making their scalps tingling and hearts race.
The little brother looks so delicious!
Licking their lips, some open-minded female dominion-level beings couldn't suppress their bold thoughts.
They didn't have the courage to confront the [Abyss], but they had plenty of it to have an affair...a friendship with the [Abyss], and a lot of it!
Without minding the pink miasma surging in the eyes of many female divines, Zhu Haomiao took out a golden badge and handed it to Wang Hua casually.
"Senior Brother Wang, I killed a contender from Germany last time. Shouldn't I turn the badge back to you?"
"Hmm, killing is second only to capturing strategic points; it can earn you a large amount of contribution points at once. I'll record it for you first."
Taking the badge from the youth, Wang Hua brought the conversation back on track.
"Junior Brother Zhu, about our previous plan..."
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao scratched his head sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Wang, I suddenly felt the need to close myself off for cultivation for over ten days, but I'll catch up on the previous progress quickly."
"Oh, don't rush, just take it at your own pace. Your own breakthrough and growth are the most important!"
Pattering Zhu Haomiao on the shoulder, Wang Hua no longer showed any anxiety, smiling calmly.
"By the way, the frontlines have shifted dramatically recently; Old Shu might need your coordination. Let's go and discuss it together."
Turning around to greet, Wang Hua left with Zhu Haomiao triumphantly.
As they left, the youth smiled and nodded to the gathered dominion forces, prompting everyone to give a solemn return salute.
Not until they watched the two figures disappear deep into the corridor did everyone breathe a long sigh of relief, exchanging complex looks.
"Turns out he was breaking through to dominion-level, no wonder it took so long."
"Truly worthy of the [Abyss]..."
"I heard he's the one who entered the Illusion Realm as a Mortal, catching up with decades of our hard cultivation within just three years!"
"But calculated in real-time, that's only just over 3 months, right?"
With these words, everyone fell silent once more.
Advancing to dominion level in 3 months, is that disrespecting the fundamental laws of physics?
It makes us seem quite foolish!
Yet, in the midst of everyone's low spirits, someone suddenly laughed.
"So, who do you think is stronger, Him or those Holy Spirit reincarnates?"
At this, everyone perked up, launching into enthusiastic discussions.
"Surely the Holy Spirit reincarnates!"
"Not necessarily, weren't the Three Noble Sons of Japan just stomped to death by him?"
"That was only because [Susano-o] hadn't matured yet; once He enters a rapid growth phase, [Dragon's Son] probably won't withstand it."
"Exactly, [Dragon's Son] merely seized victory during the Holy Spirit's weakest stage; it doesn't mean He can continually suppress the Holy Spirit."
"Remember, the most terrifying aspect of the Holy Spirit is their growth rate. We painstakingly cultivate and break through, yet they need only regain their own power!"
"The only limitation on them is the material world's capacity!"
"[Abyss] may not be weaker than the Holy Spirit in divinity, position, or potential, but its growth is certainly a peg lower."
As the crowd gradually reached a consensus, Cui Zhenyu couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal.
"You've all made valid points, but is there a possibility that [Dragon's Son]'s growth rate doesn't lose to the Holy Spirit, perhaps even...surpasses it?"
Seeing everyone flinch and fall into contemplation, Cui Zhenyu continued softly.
"To my knowledge, in this year's [Ascension Competition], [Dragon's Son] is the first to break through to dominion-level."
"Even the Holy Spirits you all admire are stuck at the Golden Peak."
"The gap between them may be small, but being ahead is still being ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenxi promptly retorted in dissatisfaction.
"Pure energy level doesn't represent the Holy Spirit's actual combat power; they are all [Superpower Level] beings!"
In response, Cui Zhenyu gave her a glance filled with pity for the dim-witted.
"You're talking as if [Dragon's Son] isn't also a [Superpower Level] being..."
Li Zhenxi: "..."
"Don't forget, [Dragon's Son] cultivates Chinese Martial Arts; practicing the Eight Basic Forces to a High Realm is terrifying, something I don't need to elaborate on, right?"
Recalling certain dreadful memories, each dominion-level Transcendent shivered, nodding with lingering fear.
After a while, a burly Slavic giant pulled a self-deprecating grin.
"All that we've said is but the conjectures of [Mortals]; only practice can test the truth!"
Saying this, the Slavic giant looked at the massive three-dimensional holographic map, murmuring with a complex gaze.
"Let's wait and see, whether China's son is stronger or each nation's Holy Spirit will suppress this fledgling dragon..."
......
Boom!
On the Peninsula Western Line, near Kaicheng, a violent explosion lifted dirt and rocks tens of meters high on a crucial strategic high ground, with the falling dirt and sand nearly burying the soldiers in the trenches alive.
"Give the peach~~"
"Ban-zai!!"
Almost at the same time as the artillery fire covered the lines, hundreds of the locust army launched a banzai charge like a tide, pulling up scattered lines.
"Ptooey ptooey ptooey!"
Shaking off a thick layer of dirt from their bodies, a Qing Army squad leader shouted to those beside him.
"Commander! The pirates' artillery is too strong; we can't hold it, let's retreat!"
A dirty-faced commander dug himself out from under the sand and yelled back, his throat raw.
"What did you say?"
