"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don’t underestimate a young man with wealth. Today, I, Xiao Yan, will make the Divine Hao Civilization famous worldwide!"
"Glory to the Divine Hao Civilization! I, Lin Dong, arrived late!"
"For Demacia, for the honor of the Divine Hao Civilization!"
"It’s impossible to be a cowardly turtle, I will never be a cowardly turtle. In our Divine Hao Civilization, everyone is talented! I, the great thief Qie Glava·Hao, will steal everything from you today!"
"Useless trash, what do you owe me that you’ll repay with? (electronic music)."
"It’s like a dream, even long after waking, I’m still touched..."
"I am Li Yi, the emperor bar owner!"
For today’s plan, Fang Jueyu had been plotting for a long time. At the Super God Academy, he learned a fifth-level secret technique called the True Invisibility Clone Technique. Mastering this technique to its peak could produce thousands of clones, each possessing ninety-nine percent of the original body’s strength.
Although Fang Jueyu had been practicing for several years, he could now only produce twenty-three clones, each with eighty percent of his original strength. The only drawback was that it divided his Cosmic Source Power by twenty-four.
But fortunately, Fang Jueyu had lots of energy-restoring pills, so the reduction in total Cosmic Source Power didn’t affect his combat ability. After all, the intensity didn’t diminish. If energy ran low, just pop a pill!
Each of the twenty-three clones wore identical clothing to Fang Jueyu’s original body. Although their heights and builds varied, and some appeared a bit nervous, each emitted an aura nearly at the peak of a Source Energy User, just slightly inferior to Fang Jueyu.
These formidable auras made nearly every martial artist present feel a bit uneasy.
It should be known that when 108 martial artists went to challenge Kato Taka in Grand Eagle City, none returned unscathed; almost every one was injured and had all their points stolen.
Among those 108 martial artists, 102 were elite peak Source Energy Users, and six were even breakthrough Divine Ability User prodigies. If such a lineup was defeated by his hands, one could imagine the level of Kato Taka’s strength.
Even the Divine Ability Users here couldn’t confidently say they had a one hundred percent chance to defeat him. With just Kato Taka being so troublesome, and the twenty-four heroes of the Divine Hao Civilization gathered, it seemed today would witness a particularly brutal battle.
"It’s Kato Taka, that’s Kato Taka! Two months ago, I saw him with my own eyes severely injure twelve combined forces of Scanda warriors with just one finger, and back then he was only a ninth-level Source Energy User!"
"Your information is outdated. A month ago, he set up a sword array in Grand Eagle City, defeating over a hundred strong fighters without anyone even stepping into his city!"
"Next to him! That’s his dog. I’ve heard his dog is only a first-level Divine Ability User, yet can tear apart even fifth-level Divine Ability User beasts!"
"They actually all have dogs!"
At the Super God Academy, while learning divine skills from the Heavenly Barking Dog, his dog also picked up some skills. However, its Clone Technique was far inferior to Fang Jueyu’s, with each clone having only sixty percent of its original strength.
"The short-haired one is Zhou Runfa. It’s said he has a divine Pupil Skill, extremely adept at stone gambling, and even defeated a renowned Pupil Technique Master!"
"I didn’t expect his strength to be so terrifying too. Could it be that the people of the Divine Hao Civilization are all-rounders?"
"That one I’ve seen on livestreams, he’s Ma Yun! He once summoned three King-level Transcenders, and even humiliated two Venerable Transcenders on a live platform. His cruel methods rival those of Kato Taka!"
"Fujiwara Takumi!" The martial artists from native Guna La Civilization looked at the clone resembling Hu Ge, gritting their teeth. It was him, relying on his wealth and influence, who turned the outskirts of Guna La Civilization upside down.
After disappearing for so long, they all appeared together now, even ten times stronger than the first time!
"Lu Benwei, Liu Mou, Li Yunlong, Ma Teng, Xiao Yan, Galen, Wu Yifan, Li Yi, Niu Zhengwei, Qie Glava·Hao, Lin Dong, Beijita... all names I’ve never heard before. Are these the other members of the Divine Hao Civilization?"
"They all seem rather odd in appearance."
"Exactly, if it weren’t for their extremely terrifying auras, I’d suspect they were all madmen!"
The martial artist named Lu Benwei had dark skin and hair resembling non-mainstream Shamate style, almost covering half his face. Under his cloak, he wore a blue and white striped shirt. Even the words he muttered were strange, "Lu Benwei didn’t cheat!"
The martial artist named Wu Yifan wore sunglasses, with electricity constantly flowing over his body. Each sentence he spoke carried a weird electrical sound, seemingly a warrior cultivating the law of thunder.
The martial artist named Li Yunlong had a soot-stained face, as if freshly scorched by flames. He had binoculars around his neck and held a small bottle labeled "Sweet Potato Spirit." He drank as he surveyed the scene alone.
As for Liu Mou, he was even bulkier than Kedon. His short hair framed a bottle of cigarette-ash water he gulped down.
"Refreshing!" he shouted enthusiastically, then pulled a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan, borrow me a light!"
"Whoo!" A blue flame appeared in Xiao Yan’s hand, clear as a lotus despite the thousands of kilometers separating them. They could still sense the intense heat emanating from it, no less potent than regular Constant Star Flames!
"Hiss!" Liu Mou of the Divine Hao Civilization inhaled a satisfying puff of smoke but soon wore a disappointed expression. "Why doesn’t it have any flavor?"
Under the astonished gazes of all, he pulled the cigarette from his mouth and reversed the lit end into his mouth.
"Ah, finally the right taste!"
"What’s that between his legs? Aren’t Divine Hao Civilization warriors supposed to love dogs?" someone pointed out the half-dragon, half-snake, fat and long, extremely ugly creature beneath Liu Mou.
"What’re you staring at? Never seen a DigiEvol Dragon Fat Snake Monster before?"
"Is this the twenty-four heroes of the Divine Hao Civilization?"
"They don’t seem so formidable, do they?"
"Idiot! Can’t you feel their auras? Their strength could easily vanquish any warrior below Divine Ability User here, never judge by appearances!"
"Boss Fang, we’re here!" The twenty-three figures stood in midair, saluting Fang Jueyu in unison.
"Very good, it’s been so long since we gathered, it’s time to make a grand achievement. Today, we’ll make our name known in this place!"
Fang Jueyu’s gaze suddenly shifted to the group of martial artists on the ground. "I think I heard someone wants to eradicate the twenty-four heroes of our Divine Hao Civilization?"
"Hahaha!" Fang Jueyu sneered. "If you have the guts, come at us! The Divine Hao Civilization will accompany you through reason. But the old rules stand. If you’re defeated by us, hand over everything valuable on you!"
"What’s the motto of the Divine Hao Civilization?" Fang Jueyu shouted loudly.
"Kill, Strip, Plunder!"
