At that time, Qiu Tu had calculated that with his powers at the Middle Fourth Rank stage, bolstered by the "Order Space," he was capable of contending with most Evil Gods.
And if he also had the home-field advantage as the "Domain Master," the only ones he would need to be wary of were Peak Fourth Rank and Fifth Order Evil Gods. (Chapter 409)
With this assessment of strength in mind, Qiu Tu began to discreetly inquire into the Whale Shark's capabilities.
The Investigation Bureau's intelligence network did not have information on the Whale Shark's strength, but... let's not forget that Qiu Tu had Larilo, the Evil God traitor.
After beating around the bush a few times, Qiu Tu successfully learned from Larilo that the Whale Shark was most likely an Evil God at the Late Fourth Rank stage. (Chapter 425)
Furthermore, the Whale Shark's Cataclysm Path is "Life," which would be suppressed in the "Order" attribute of the "Xinjie Territory." Therefore, it wouldn't be able to exert its Late Fourth Rank powers.
As for Qiu Tu, due to having both "Area attribute" and being the "Domain Master," his strength might not reach Late Fourth Rank, but it was close enough.
It could be said that this further narrowed the gap in strength between the two.
Even so, the cautious Qiu Tu still didn't feel entirely safe.
So... he recalled the "Domain Master's" ultimate ability: Rule Setting. (Chapter 369)
The effect of this ultimate ability was that Qiu Tu could arbitrarily set rules within the "Xinjie Territory," rules that all creatures within this region must adhere to.
Should anyone violate the rules, Qiu Tu could subject them to various punishments, including but not limited to ability prohibition, imprisonment, forced labor, death.
Therefore... over the past few days, he had been sending Dark Soldiers to keep an eye on the Whale Shark, intending to establish a special rule against it.
After all... the harsher, more complex, and targeted the rule setting, the fewer the creatures that violate the rules, the weaker their strength, and the less the cost.
So... when facing off against the Whale Shark, Qiu Tu set a rule: Long-haired males, with strength surpassing Fourth Rank, staying within 20 meters of me, engaging in dialogue for more than five sentences, and using insulting language...
Because it was specifically targeted, it wasn't long before the Whale Shark violated the rule.
But at that time, Qiu Tu did not directly punish, but instead used the "Order Space" to forcibly elevate his strength to Peak Fourth Rank, gaining the Shields Break ability!
Then, Qiu Tu executed Shield Break!
Following that, he "Sealed" the Whale Shark's abilities, and with another move, killed the Whale Shark!
Stripped of its abilities, the Whale Shark, like Larilo, unable to mobilize the Cataclysmic Power, stood no chance against Qiu Tu!
This rendered the entire operation sleek and impactful, an impressive visual spectacle!
Yet actually... for those few seconds of showing off, Qiu Tu had been planning for an entire month or two. Ever since he entered Fourth Rank, he had been preparing.
And even then... after killing the Whale Shark, Qiu Tu immediately shut down his "Order Space" and secretly replenished his spent energy with Boundless Divine Crystals taped all over his body.
Based on his estimates, those two moves would consume the equivalent of one-quarter of an Evil God's Boundless Divine Crystals.
Fortunately... luck was on his side, as he had slain an Evil God and obtained an entire Boundless Divine Crystal. The return on investment was effectively fourfold.
What's more, slaying an Evil God doesn't just reward you with Boundless Divine Crystals; it also yields a new territory and merit for the Sanctuary!
The reason Qiu Tu had Chen Feng bring the "Hundred-Eyes Vision" was to record the entire process of him killing the Whale Shark, proving his merit.
Although the Qiutu aura on the Evil God's corpse was enough to prove that the Whale Shark was killed by Qiu Tu, to avoid future disputes, the prudent Qiu Tu still recorded everything as a full precaution.
Thinking along these lines,
One Shield Break! One move to kill the Whale Shark!
"Directly powered up from Mid Fourth Rank to Late Fourth Rank?"
Below Fifth Rank, I am invincible!
Just as he was pondering this, Fang Tangtang shyly covered her face, then untied the belt around her waist.
The next second, the robe slid off, revealing a body as white as jade, refined and delicate as carved ivory, before Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu admits that in that moment, his heartbeat seemed to accelerate for an instant.
But after all, he is a decent person. And he still has to read this philosophy book tonight!
So, he looked down at the book "Existence" in his hands, one glance, two glances... and then he continued reading!
"Screw 'Existence,' the meaning of 'Existence' lies in Cao currency!"
Thinking this extremely crass and philosophy-insulting thought, Qiu Tu leaped out of bed, and amid Fang Tangtang's exclamations, scooped her into his arms and pressed her onto the bed....
Blue Moon blushed, pulling dark clouds to cover her face.
That night, Qiu Tu and Fang Tangtang vigorously made love until midnight.
Fang Tangtang seemed to have truly immersed herself in the role of girlfriend. Even though Qiu Tu noticed her frown slightly several times, the "wound" from yesterday obviously not fully healed, she still earnestly swayed her figure, coordinating with Qiu Tu....
And Qiu Tu once again experienced how soft and comfortable the Facial Cleanser for close E-friends could be....
"Facial Cleanser is indeed best when used personally!"
Holding this thought, Qiu Tu generously imparted his teachings to Fang Tangtang, enlightening and resolving her doubts...
After all, as the Deputy Director of the Political Department, he already had a quota for killing.
She couldn't quite understand the sensation.
It just felt incredibly comfortable....
