The teleportation gate opened.
The two did not linger here long.
"They all have their own supplies, the transmission array you've activated will cause ripples in this area, there's no need to disturb them often, just come over once a week to check on them, to see if anyone is injured, and to monitor their progress."
After they left, Bai Yilin and Jiang Zhi had already started their training, holding Spirit Coins in their hands, pushing their spiritual energy to the limit, and continually challenging themselves in this dangerous place.
They had been given enough Spirit Coins for their own use. Bai Yilin wanted to return to Seventh Rank; he was just one step away, whereas Jiang Zhi aimed to continue consolidating his strength and enhancing his spiritual energy and control.
As for Ascension, he hadn't even thought about it.
For Seventh Rank to ascend to Sequence 6 was a huge chasm, a critical path to extraordinary ability, requiring a threshold of spiritual energy starting at one million.
According to the conversion rate for Spirit Coins, he would need at least fifty million Spirit Coins.
He couldn't produce that sum even if he sold all his possessions, let alone himself; he could only improve his spiritual power and control, to enhance his combat ability and seize better opportunities to earn resources for Ascension.
he was the least anxious of them all.
"Having completed the main thread here, my spiritual power has broken through to 150,000 spiritual energy points, but... it's not that simple."
He possessed three paths of series: "Ancient God's Heart," "Spiritual Eyes," and "Angel Fall Gift." Each was extremely top-tier, and while his abilities were exceedingly strong, the required resources were remarkably high.
others needed to ascend just one sequence, while Su Qi had to manage three simultaneously.
"Fortunately, I still have some assets, over eighty million Spirit Coins, and... although it needs more energy, the rate at which I absorb spiritual energy has also sped up." Su Qi could absorb one Spirit Coin every five seconds in this environment.
If he were to ascend on his own, for the time being, he wouldn't need to worry about lacking resources.
while increasing strength is necessary, Su Qi had another exceptionally ingenious idea.
"The Shadow Army, despite extensive training, making every Shadow possess significant overall strength, still finds it difficult to stand alone."
The Hustlers Sect needs elites.
Whether it's Gan Wencui, the Squad Captain, Team Captain or even an ordinary Shadow, all need to reach the elite level of a super nova.
It's not because Su Qi demands too much.
But to stand firm, to withstand the forces among many formidable entities, this strength is a must.
Su Qi's eyes flickered.
He extended his hand, the pattern on his arm shimmering.
Gan Wencui! Three figures rose up from the shadows on the ground!
And the vast number of Shadows of the Shadow Army, all having reached sequence strength, also appeared.
"At present, the Black Shadow Corps has one hundred and fifty members, though none have officially entered a series, possessing only basic combat strength, but against Series 9 or above, they stand no chance, even when wielding weapons made from 'Dark Star,' since they lack the spiritual energy to utilize them."
After all, Sequence is key.
Without ascending a sequence, one is ultimately choked at that upper limit.
"Sect Hierarch, this is..."
"This is the private grounds of The Hustlers Sect, all members of the Black Shadow Corps including yourselves will undertake rigorous trials here for the next month."
they too needed cultivation resources; Gan Wencui held one million Spirit Coins himself, approaching Seventh Rank, while the others hadn't stepped into a sequence; Su Qi distributed fifty thousand Spirit Coins to each of them.
"To spend so much in an instant... and this is just for those of the Low Sequence, and there are just over two hundred of them."
Su Qi looked at the remaining Spirit Coins, knowing that sustaining the consumption of the Shadow Army was difficult on his own.
Not to mention later on, when The Hustlers Sect develops, how terrifying the daily expenditure and consumption will be.
money is always the most crucial part.
"The key is, I still don't know what state The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce is in now," Su Qi muttered to himself.
"Even though I left the 'Super Dream Child Protocol' with Nancy, Sigong Cheng, and Simon, and their business capabilities are extremely strong, having even brought in the Spirit King's son An Xinghuo as an endorsement, but..."
Carving a path among countless powers and seizing even a slice of the cake is an extremely difficult task.
Don't wait until next time to hear... news of The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce.
To discover it's among those crushed and bankrupt forces.
now was a time of multiple concurrent processes, Su Qi was very busy... yet also idle, with nothing better to do. During the intense trials, he even dragged Xiao Meng along to play Go.
Occasionally, he could open a small window in his field of vision to broadcast some TV shows from this world and the like.
During these times, the power of the Evil God hadn't erupted... To be precise, there were signs of an outbreak, but it was suppressed by the "gift" he had obtained from the Pigeon God.
But Su Qi could feel it.
It was a temporary solution, not a cure.
The bursting power was suppressed, but it was accumulating over there. Once it couldn't be suppressed any longer, even Su Qi didn't know what kind of commotion would arise.
Su Qi was also rapidly increasing his strength. This was a race against time, as well as a rare opportunity.
By the time this fragment of the World Ship reached its destination,
Su Qi was bound to undergo unimaginable changes.
The entire Superpower World was rapidly moving towards a certain coordinate amidst the chaotic nihility.
In the boundless void,
it was filled with chaos that made it hard to see around, and generally, it was very unlikely to encounter other worlds.
the huge ripples created by the world movement could twist the chaos, like paddles stirring the calm sea surface, creating strong waves, and spreading these ripples far and wide.
It would attract the attention of some dangerous beings.
And at this very moment,
within the chaos, the coordinates of a world were rippling... seemingly calm on the surface.
internally, it was like the desperation of doomsday!
"Actually want to deprive us of everything!"
"How can we let them succeed!"
"Fire at the fleet in the sky dome!"
This world's level of technology was high! There were laser beams, electromagnetic guns, nuclear energy railguns, and such, instantly unleashing amazing energy! Horrific explosions erupted one after another in the sky dome!
After the flames dispersed!
The immense objects in the sky dome blocked them all.
A starship, huge as a mountain... with a dazzling protective shield that had machinery on it shifting like fluid in astounding transformations.
"Why! Our entire power couldn't even break through the defense of this alien fleet!"
The people of this world were filled with despair!
"Pretty decent technological strength, observing that many key theories are just a century away from breaking through, but unfortunately, you don't have a century for your technology to explode."
A detached voice resonated within the starship.
"Let's start the harvest now!"
The starship's fluid form came to life, changing! In the next moment, a large number of densely packed energy weapons began to assemble!
Yet within them shimmered glowing blue energy, violently converging!
As if all the light from the entire sky dome was being sucked away, everyone's sight dimmed!
In despair, they screamed, "No!"
And in the next instant,
terrifying energy obliterated all the main forces! And half the city! Like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!
A horrifying red light turned this place into a living hell!
"This is the fate of the weak," said the people on the starship, looking indifferently at this scene.
They were... the cruel yet common raiders of the Present World, wielding the power of spatial transfer, easily capable of pillaging various indigenous, isolated worlds.
Many native worlds were plundered in this way, lacking sufficient power to protect themselves from such bandits.
Some might still give these worlds a glimmer of hope, not exterminating all life.
But most were merely cruel, directly annihilating and destroying everything.
