I’m A Wasteland Giant - Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Chapter 331: A grand event that occurs once in a million years!

“The matter we just discussed was a deal between my father and you. Now, it’s time for us to discuss your deal with me!”

Zhang Xinyi calmed down a little and said calmly.

Du Gang had already embarked on this journey, and it made no difference whether another issue was small or large. “Tell me, what is it?”

Zhang Xinyi hesitated for a moment, and said lightly, “I’ll tell you the reward first!”

“If you agree to do something for me, I’m willing to give you the complete version of the Nine Yang Divine Art!”

Nine Yang Divine Art?!

Du Gang was startled, his eyes widened in shock. He had heard from Huang Yu that this was a technique that could overlap with others and boost combat power by up to nine points.

It seemed small, but for top-level warriors, a single point of combat power could make a world of difference.

After his surprise, he frowned, looking at Zhang Xinyi with suspicion.

The deal to protect her didn’t even mention exchanging the Nine Yang Divine Art, but now, this woman was offering it.

This was the Nine Yang Divine Art, a supreme technique!

Suspicious, he asked, “What deals do you want to make? You’re not trying to take my life, are you?!”

Zhang Xinyi’s expression fluctuated, finding it difficult to say.

Seeing her hesitation, Du Gang became curious about the deal she wanted to make, “Just say it. What if I agree?”

After hearing that, Zhang Xinyi seemed to gather some courage. Biting her lip, she said seriously, “Du Gang, I want your virginity!”

“What???”

Du Gang looked dumbfounded, his virginity?

The next moment he reacted, looking at Zhang Xinyi in disbelief and exclaimed, “Do you want to sleep with me?!”

“Rude!”

Zhang Xinyi’s face flushed red immediately, and she choked on her words.

Seeing her like this, Du Gang was completely shocked. This woman actually…

Exchange his virginity for a supreme technique, and that too with such a heavenly beauty, it seemed like an amazing deal…

“Don’t misunderstand, I don’t want your body, I just want to borrow your status!”

Zhang Xinyi quickly explained, “Didn’t I mention earlier, the man I love is someone with no background…”

“He can’t marry me, but I don’t want to marry anyone else. Given our relationship as members of the Heavenly Court’s reincarnation team and your affiliation with the Ancient City, if we have a fake marriage, it can fool everyone!”

“Fake marriage?!”

Du Gang frowned. If it was his body, he could grit his teeth and give it up, but now, it was his status.

He scratched his hair, “You mean to say, at this competition, I will become the champion, then marry you, joining the Ancient City with your Jiuyang Villa, helping you cross this difficulty?”

“Exactly!”

Zhang Xinyi nodded, “That’s right!”

Du Gang’s mouth twitched, he chuckled, “You’re joking, right?”

“If I dodge the first round, you will become my wife according to the rules, our families will have a normal alliance, and I will have the opportunity to learn the Nine Yang Divine Art. Then why would I have a fake marriage with you, only to be cuckolded later?!”

It wasn’t that he cared about a fake marriage, but the thought of this woman having a fake marriage with him to be with another man was something he couldn’t accept.

Zhang Xinyi opened her mouth, unable to respond immediately. After two seconds of silence, she said with a glint in her eyes, “The man I love is actually already dead!”

She confirmed, “Yes, the man I love is dead. But, I don’t want to marry just anyone. So, I hope you can fake marry me…”

“Dead?!”

Du Gang looked at her dubiously, “Are you sure?!”

“I am sure!”

Zhang Xinyi nodded repeatedly, “Now, can you accept it?!”

Du Gang frowned, if the man was really dead and there’s no question of being cuckolded, he could accept it…

Seeing that he didn’t reject her outright and was still pondering, Zhang Xinyi seized the opportunity to press further, “If you agree, I will discuss with my father to make arrangements during the competition to ensure that you will become the champion!”

Du Gang stopped pondering, he detected a loophole in Zhang Xinyi’s words.

With a squint in his eyes, he laughed, “You mean, you will help me cheat to win the first place, and then give me the complete Nine Yang Divine Art?!”

“Exactly!”

Zhang Xinyi nodded, “As long as you agree to me, the Nine Yang Divine Art is definitely yours!”

Du Gang chuckled, “What if I don’t want your help, can I still win the first place? Is there any extra compensation?!”

“You? You think you can get first place without cheating?!”

Zhang Xinyi eyed Du Gang skeptically from top to bottom, “From what I can see, you’re just at the peak warrior level, you seem to be only at Rank One Hundred and Six, are you joking?!”

Du Gang didn’t rush to prove himself, instead he replied with a relaxed smile, “Leaning on you all to cheat so I could get first place would be easily seen through, plus it would make you seem unjust. If I were to get first place with my own strength, then everyone’s happy, and no one else or other forces could say anything!”

“Are you serious?!” Zhang Xinyi was shocked and confused, she couldn’t be sure if Du Gang was telling the truth. After all, in her opinion, he was just at Rank One Hundred and Six.

At this point, as far as she knew, there were already warriors at Rank One Hundred and Seven who were ready to compete, and not just a few. Even Rank One Hundred and Eight warriors were rumored to have left their own territories.

Could someone at Rank One Hundred and Six even have such confidence?

Du Gang laughed and said: “Of course, first, I am unrivaled at my rank, second, I can contest those in a higher rank. I once killed a Ninth Tribulation God Spirit who was three tribulations above me!”

“What?!”

Zhang Xinyi was astounded, looking at him in disbelief.

Surpassing nine tribulations from three, such a thing wouldn’t even be written in novels.

The gap between them was incredibly vast.

Du Gang chuckled, “I didn’t lie to you, my record of overcoming three tribulations to kill a Ninth Tribulation God Spirit is even documented in our clan’s records!”

It took Zhang Xinyi a while to accept the setting of Du Gang being so powerful, almost unrivaled on the same rank.

After all, in her mind, intelligence and combat power were not equal.

The world is fair, giving someone power while inevitably taking away a little of their intelligence.

And Du Gang, seemingly possessed of an ingenious intellect, was now claiming that his combat prowess had also reached the top, which was utterly unbelievable.

It’s just as outrageous as being a son of Heaven!

“What compensation do you want?”

Zhang Xinyi nodded, “If you’re sure you can get first place on your own, I can give you extra compensation!”

If they didn’t have to cheat, that would certainly be for the best, and it would also avoid anyone pointing fingers at the Zhang family.

Du Gang gave a faint smile, “Honestly, I am confident I can get first place with my current level of power. But to be sure, I still want something from you. If you give me the compensation I desire now, then I will naturally feel even safer!”

“What do you want?!” Zhang Xinyi was very curious, she had no idea what Du Gang might want.

Du Gang’s lips curled upwards as he said: “I want Grand Dao Scrolls!”

“Grand Dao Scrolls…”

Zhang Xinyi quickly reacted, “Grand Dao Scrolls can speed up technique progress, you’re now at Rank One Hundred and Six, can your limit still be improved?!”

Du Gang shrugged, “Of course, I broke through the God Spirit Realm not long ago. What I lack most now is time. And the Grand Dao Scrolls can make up for that!”

Zhang Xinyi started to ponder. According to Du Gang, he was nearly unrivaled among peers and he had overcome three tribulations and cut down nine tribulations.

Even if it was the weakest Ninth Tribulation God Spirit, and considering the difference in technique level from Yellow grade to Heavenly grade, the three tribulations would require at least three times the strength to defeat it.

This implies that Du Gang’s current combat power is close to the top 400 or 500 in the Human Ranking, and with a little more effort, he may even get first place.

If he could burst forth more strength, he’d be even stronger!

Her eyes lit up, “No problem, I can give you one Grand Dao Scroll in advance, but you must ensure that you’ll finally win the first place by yourself!”

“Hehe!”

Du Gang laughed brightly, “One? Sorry, I want two!”

“Two? You should know that the Grand Dao Scroll can’t break our limit in cultivating our technique, it can only help in comprehension within this limit…”

Zhang Xinyi stopped in mid-sentence, staring at Du Gang in shock, “Could it be… your limit is at Rank One Hundred and Eight?!”

“Haha!”

Seeing her shocked expression, Du Gang couldn’t help but laugh, “Correct, my limit is Rank One Hundred and Eight. I’ve consumed both the Gloomy Sun Grass and the Green Qinyin Stone!”

“As for the Red Xing Flower, have you forgotten about the reward I received from the previous mission?”

Zhang Xinyi was stunned momentarily, but then she remembered. From the last mission, out of the thirteen people, only six survived. Thanks to Du Gang, four survived in their group, while only two survived from the other groups.

This meant that Du Gang received the most rewards!

“So, you exchanged one Red Xing Flower, meaning your technique limit has reached the full value of Rank One Hundred and Eight. Now, you are only at Rank One Hundred and Six because your base level is only Rank One Hundred and Three, but there’s still a room for a two percent increase!”

After speaking in one breath, Zhang Xinyi looked excited, “This means, as long as you have the Grand Dao Scroll, you can directly increase to One Hundred and Eight!”

“Correct!”

Du Gang laughed, “You give me two Grand Dao Scrolls, and I will get you the first place, and marry you!”

No matter what, what he hoped for most was to secure the benefits at hand first.

The Grand Dao Scroll is currently something that can enhance his power.

Both Jiuyang Villa and the Ancient City were outside forces to him, protecting him for their own reasons. Therefore, only when he himself was strong, was he truly strong!

For this goal, sacrificing his reputation was nothing to him. Besides, he was not sure whether he would really marry someone else in his life.

“Alright, wait here, I’ll go see dad right now!”

After saying these, Zhang Xinyi left in a hurry.

As for Du Gang, as much as he wanted to change places, he had no choice. The God King and his daughter were so impatient, running off so quickly without even arranging a room for him.

So, he had no choice but to wait in this courtyard. There were wooden houses in the distance, but he dared not enter. After all, that’s where the God King remembered his wife.

This time he didn’t wait long. In just a few minutes, Zhang Xinyi came in with two scrolls of the Tao.

“Although the Tao scrolls are valuable, they are nothing compared to treasures like Red Xing Flowers and Green Qinyin Stones that can break through the upper limits of practice. My family’s treasury still has a large inventory of such scrolls, so it’s great that you can use them!”

The reason Du Gang dared to demand them directly was also due to this consideration. After all, even Xiang Xinjian could bring out a scroll for him, let alone the God King, there must be even more, right?!

With a look of joy, he took them, “In that case, I should make use of them right away!”

After finishing speaking, he found a place to sit down, looking like he was going to practice.

As for Zhang Xinyi, she wanted to find another place for him, but seeing his impatience, she didn’t say anything. She just nodded, “Fine, you can practice here. If you need anything, just call me, I’ll be in the next room…”

After saying this, she left.

She didn’t kick me out?

Delighted, Du Gang realized that his act worked. He wanted to stay here. None of the other rooms was as safe as this courtyard.

This was where the God King mourned his wife. Surely, it was the most heavily guarded place, and always under the gaze of the God King.

Could there be any safer place in Jiuyang Villa?!

“Open!”

Without wasting time, Du Gang quickly opened the Tao scrolls and began to comprehend them as soon as Zhang Xinyi left.

The Human Ranking strongmen were the strongest God Spirit Level combat power in the entire continent.

Each one of them was a well-known existence!

The list recorded the achievements of each person. Each one had climbed up by stepping on the heads of their predecessors. The list was very valuable and basically reflected the strongest in the continent at a certain stage as they said.

The masters from Central State, Northern Plains, Southern Wilderness, Western Desert, and Eastern Ridge, the five regions, were all included on the list.

In the past, these Human Ranking masters were rarely seen, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of them.

But during this period, it was the busiest time for the Human Ranking.

Jiuyang Villa, due to the martial arts tournament for marriage, attracted a large number of masters, including Human Ranking strongmen.

Moreover, due to the announcement that the contest would not start until next month, many Human Ranking strongmen arrived too early and were challenged by others first.

Not only that, as time went on, more and more people came to Jiuyang Villa. According to the incomplete statistics from the Yangchuan Daily, there were more than a hundred Human Ranking strongmen from the Southern Wilderness with names and surnames!

There were a total of a thousand Human Ranking strongmen, divided among the five regions. The Southern Wilderness didn’t have many Human Ranking strongmen in this list, only about a hundred and eighty. Now, more than a hundred had come to Jiuyang Villa, almost all of them were here.

This caused more and more young talents to flock to Jiuyang Villa.

Though there were three staging posts at the foot, middle and top of the mountain to block people, without the strength of a peak-level strongman, it would be hard to reach the top of the mountain.

However, so many days later, quite a few people managed to ascend the mountain, making the initially reserved platform overflow with people.

Eventually, the Villa management had to make temporary adjustments, mobilising hundreds of strongmen to expand the platform and set up a massive one that could accommodate a million people to meet the demand.

In fact, many people didn’t come for the marriage. The majority came because the impact of this event was too huge and attracted too many strongmen which led them here.

Moreover, Tianji Pavilion dispatched a large number of people to station at Jiuyang Villa, responsible for recording the challenges and changes of the Human Ranking.

Usually, the changes in the Human Ranking strongmen pretty much happened once a month.

But now, Tianji Pavilion moved with the times, creating a daily Human Ranking system that recorded all the challenges made each day.

In fact, to allow more people to participate in this event, Tianji Pavilion even created a special Qingyun Ranking.

The Qingyun Ranking: specifically included some strongmen who had surpassed the ordinary peak-level strongmen, had the chance to be on the Human Ranking, and some who had even been on the Human Ranking.

After all, for Tianji Pavilion, the three lists of Heaven, Earth, and Human represented authority, while the Qingyun Ranking netted a large number of young talents, allowing more people to be on the list.

The appearance of the Qingyun Ranking also attracted more young talents’ attention and made the three lists of Heaven, Earth, and Human seem rarer and more important.

Moreover, with the expansion of the influence of the Qingyun Ranking, the peak-level strongmen were inspired, thus deepening their recognition of the rank list.

This time, as the marriage tournament of Jiuyang Villa unfolded, time passed by little by little. Initially, it was just a marriage tournament aimed at second-tier forces. At this moment, it turned into a grand ceremony for the young generation of the entire Southern Wilderness.

All the forces in the Southern Wilderness initially sent some Kirin Children who needed experience.

As time went on, the roster of Human Ranking began to shift more drastically, gathering a growing number of powerful beings. Various forces, in fact, with no other choice or to stoke the fires, had sent out their own strongest prodigious talents.

Such a prosperous era is indeed a major trial for these proud sons and daughters of heaven!

Anyone who could establish a name for themselves at this grand assembly would be known throughout the entire Southern Wilderness, and perhaps even the other Four Realms, favourable news of them would spread.

It can be said, this was the grandest and highest-quality assembly of the younger generation in recent years.

Even an elder of the Tianji Pavilion proposed this viewpoint: “Those attending from Jiuyang Villa will determine the strongest individuals in the Southern Wilderness, and the Human Ranking will reach its highest prestige.”

The elder’s intention was clear. Within each faction, there were some extremely well-hidden, unique geniuses who would inevitably rise up due to the circumstances.

Even though these genius prodigies hadn’t made a name for themselves, their strengths were on par with those on the Human Ranking.

If people were skeptical before, considering the possibility to be slim.

However, with the Purple Heavenly Eagle Clan sending out a youth almost comparable to a Supreme, who defeated a rank 22 strong man on the Human Ranking, the entire continent was set ablaze.

All were boiling with excitement.

There truly were geniuses who had never appeared before but left everyone astonished: as soon as they entered the Human Ranking, they were among the top thirty!

Before people could digest this news, another surprising piece of news came again.

“A calf from the Kui Cow God Clan that greatly resembles their ancestor, the Bull Demon King, was born, and defeated the rank 20 strong man on the Human Ranking within ten moves!”

But that’s not all. What shocked the world even more was that these god clans, as if showing their power at this moment, sent out a large number of geniuses to challenge the Human Ranking.

“A genius of the Fire Reigning God Clan was born, defeating the rank 78 strong man on the Human Ranking…”

“A genius of the Wind Moving God Clan was born, defeating the rank 93 strong man on the Human Ranking within a hundred moves…”

One shocking news after another erupted, all the forces couldn’t imagine how frenzied the people could be.

Nor could anyone imagine that these god clans would send out all these geniuses who had been hidden within their clans for many years.

Just when the powerful beings of the Human Ranking were being replaced in large numbers, an even more sensational piece of news that shook the entire continent hit the headlines.

“One of the top ten god clans, the Fu Family located in the center of the Southern Wilderness, sent out a young Supreme who has been revived since the mythical era!”

This young Supreme was not some blown up story.

The young Supreme of the Fu Family had fought with Supreme Haotian, who was also young at the time, during the mythical era.

The battle resulted in a stalemate. It is said that because of certain reasons, this young Supreme of the Fu Family was frozen by the family, and only now has he been released.

“According to the trajectory of this young Supreme of the Fu Family, he would have a seat among those who achieved the Supreme status in the mythical era!”

Just as everyone was paying attention to the news of this young Supreme of the Fu Family, the Fighting Saint Clan, one of the top ten god clans, also sent out one of the strongest youths of their generation.

“The Fighting Saint Clan has produced a heaven-shocking genius of the ‘Wu’ generation, who wields an iron rod and has knocked the rank 9 strong man on the Human Ranking out of the top ten!”

If Du Gang had been there, he would have been shocked by this genius of the Fighting Saint Clan, because that ‘Wu’ generation guy was called ‘Sun Wukong’.

One earth-shattering piece of news after another spread, these individuals not only set off a storm in the Southern Wilderness but also attracted people from other regions.

On this day, the space in the vicinity of Jiuyang Villa was constantly fluctuating, and from time to time a group of people would pop out from the void.

These were the powerhouses from the other Four Realms, bringing with them the most prodigious individuals from their own gates, to attend the grand assembly!

Originally, it was just an assembly within the Southern Wilderness, but as the event continued to ferment, it ended up spreading across the whole continent.

And the Tianji Pavilion boldly predicted.

“This assembly will be the grandest assembly seen in a million years, and it will produce the strongest individual of the current era across the whole continent!”

Even Jiuyang Villa had not expected all of these things to happen.

With more and more people gathering at the top of the mountain, Jiuyang Villa sent out more strong men to expand the area several times, finally creating a super-large platform capable of accommodating tens of millions of people.

Not only that, Jiuyang Villa also actively invited all the forces to come and observe the ceremony.

At this point, things had reached a stage where Jiuyang Villa was no longer in control.

Every one of the prodigies from the other Four Realms was followed by a God King to prevent any underhanded tricks.

Although Zhang Youwei was a God King, he still seemed inadequate in front of so many God Kings.

And the many forces in the Southern Wilderness naturally wouldn’t let Zhang Youwei bear all the pressure on his own. Basically, every force that had produced a prodigy sent a God King to protect the way.

This could be considered the grandest time in a million years where all the heroes of the Primordial Continent gathered together.

And the Tianji Pavilion, responding to the request of the owner of Jiuyang Villa, will hold a competition after the martial arts betrothal event to allow the people of the Five Realms to compete for first place!

After all, most people come here not for any betrothal event, so separating the two groups is the best.

The center of the large platform capable of accommodating tens of millions of people was temporarily occupied by the strongest forces, and Jiuyang Villa’s betrothal event was squeezed into a place that could only accommodate one million people.

Just when Jiuyang Villa was under a lot of pressure and was eager to start the betrothal ceremony early, Du Gang finally woke up…
