Five days later.
"Get up here." A cave had been blasted open by Ziyu, and there were some corpses nearby, with one team member present.
"Fortunately, Ziyu arrived quickly; otherwise, I would have died here." The team member boarded the spaceship and glanced at the token, feeling a lingering fear.
"Alright, now our Squad is not lacking in personnel." Ziyu looked at the eight people nearby. "Captain Ruan Ling, can you tell us the location of that ruin?"
"If I remember correctly, it's in that direction, about sixty miles away." Ruan Ling thought for a moment and pointed in a direction.
"Okay..." Ziyu smiled slightly and activated the spaceship's spatial folding.
"Ziyu... are you going to that place?" Ruan Ling exclaimed, "There are powerful individuals everywhere; we won't get anything at all!"
"It's fine. We're just going to take what we should rightfully have... those Squad points; we should collect them all." Ziyu said calmly.
In matters like this, Ziyu couldn't tolerate it; being oppressed to such an extent, how could they not fight back?
"But if we fail, the situation could be worse." Ruan Ling still seemed worried.
"It's fine. Do I look like someone who acts impulsively?" Ziyu smiled slightly. "Besides, you're the captain; the final decision is in your hands. However, I can guarantee that we will definitely profit this time!"
Ninth Level Mystic, and at its peak... absolutely capable of sweeping everyone away as long as they weren't besieged by a group of Ninth Level Mystics; there shouldn't be any unexpected situations.
"Ziyu's strength has greatly increased; our Squad's strength can definitely compare with some of the top Squads!" Li Xuan had sparred with Ziyu and naturally knew this... although Li Xuan wasn't sure just how strong Ziyu truly was.
"We will eventually reach the moment of decisive battle... and our ranking won't be low." Ziyu said calmly.
At this point, Ziyu could probably wipe out a Squad alone... what was there to fear?
Moreover, because Ziyu was a Ninth Level Mystic, both body and spiritual power were incredibly strong, so the Cultivation Method was progressing rapidly!
Although Ziyu didn't know what the strongest Ninth Level Mystic was like, Ziyu knew that they were definitely the strongest individual in this space!
Xiang Yu is a battle-hardened warrior... His lifelong learning cannot be matched by those who live in the academy... Moreover, no matter how talented those individuals are, they only cultivate rapidly and have little real combat experience, having only lived in the academy for a year.
"We're going to that ruin; I believe we will ultimately become the target of everyone," Ruan Ling still felt uneasy.
"Here's the deal." Ziyu, who had originally sat down to talk with everyone while secretly practicing the Cultivation Method, now stood up. "Captain Ruan Ling, you start attacking me with your strongest move. If I can't withstand it, we won't go."
Everyone was taken aback... Ruan Ling's strongest move? Ruan Ling had mentioned not being very strong, but after all, she was an eighth-level Transcendent! The strongest move of an eighth-level Transcendent?
"Come on, I'm not joking," Ziyu said with a smile. "And I'm quite rational right now."
Ruan Ling looked at Ziyu suspiciously and took a few steps back.
"Since you insist on this, I'll give it a try. However, I won't use my full strength; I'm afraid of hurting you, so I'll only use the power of a fifth-level Transcendent..." Ruan Ling said.
"The power of a fifth-level Transcendent won't be enough to defeat him," Li Xuan suddenly shrugged and said. "I didn't see him clearly before; I attacked with all my strength once, and he blocked it without even retreating."
"Oh?" Ruan Ling was surprised that Ziyu's strength had increased so much.
"Then I'll use the force of a sixth-level Transcendent, but I won't use Mystical Arts," Ruan Ling said.
Being able to withstand an attack from a fifth-level Transcendent using Mystical Arts means that a normal attack from a sixth-level Transcendent would be about the same.
"Alright, you can try first," Ziyu said with a grin, standing still without moving.
"Okay." Ruan Ling nodded, her expression becoming more serious. "Be careful!"
In an instant, Ruan Ling's figure blurred as she charged toward Ziyu. In a moment, she was right in front of him.
"If it were before, I couldn't have imagined such speed; however, for me now, it's still somewhat slow..." Ziyu thought about some things in that instant, completely devoid of any sense of time pressure.
Currently, Ziyu had become powerful to an extent he could never have imagined before!
"Bang!!" Ruan Ling's figure collided with Ziyu, yet it only produced a dull sound.
As the figure stabilized, everyone saw the current state of the two.
Ruan Ling extended an arm, slightly bent, aiming to strike Ziyu's abdomen, but Ziyu merely raised a hand to block it.
"Too weak. I told you, Captain, just use your strongest power. This way, I can know my true strength and avoid being arrogant or overly modest," Ziyu chuckled.
"Alright... alright... the stronger the better!" Ruan Ling laughed heartily. "Then I won't hold back! Team members, be careful not to get caught in the crossfire!"
Ziyu smiled slightly and waved an arm; the structure of the Kallok Metal spaceship changed, isolating the two.
In these past few days, Ziyu had researched some Mystical Weapons and altered the structure of Kallok Metal. The hardness of the metal had reached a more powerful level.
"Come on." Ziyu still did not move because he knew that even if Ruan Ling fought with all his might, he could not defeat Ziyu... this was a gap in levels, a fundamental difference.
Whether it was physical quality, mastery of Mystical Arts, or the density of spiritual energy... Ziyu was stronger than Ruan Ling.
"Okay." Ruan Ling's body glowed with spiritual energy, then it flared up like flames!
"Protective Mystic Art?" Ziyu shook his head. "Although it's quite useful, I'm not afraid of your surface flames."
Ziyu's figure instantly vanished from its original spot and appeared next to Ruan Ling in the next moment. Ruan Ling was startled, his heart racing as he tried to distance himself from Ziyu.
"Why is it so fast?" Ruan Ling thought to himself. He couldn't understand why Ziyu had become so strong... but what Ruan Ling didn't know was that Ziyu had been at Wudao Hall for half a year!
"I'm starting my attack!" Ziyu shouted loudly, his figure flickering unpredictably as he unleashed a gentle force from his palm, making Ruan Ling feel like a leaf in a storm being tossed around by Ziyu.
"Now, Captain, do you believe me?" Ziyu stopped at a distance not far from Ruan Ling and smiled at him.
"You... are you now an eighth-level Transcendent?" Ruan Ling exclaimed in surprise.
Ruan Ling could only guess that Ziyu was already at the peak of Level Eight Transcendent. As for the Ninth Level Mystic, Ruan Ling didn't even want to think about it; it seemed far-fetched and basically impossible.
"Let's go earn some points," Ziyu shrugged, not directly answering the question.
However, Ruan Ling didn't notice that Ziyu still hadn't used any Mystical Arts; the aura emitted made Ruan Ling feel as if Ziyu had employed some form of Mystical Arts.
"The ruins are just ahead," the Spaceship folded through space and arrived near the ruins.
"It hasn't been a few days yet, and each Squad is busy improving their strength. When the competition deadline approaches, there will definitely be another major battle, and that's when some dark horses will emerge, causing a significant shift in the distribution of points," Ziyu understood that many powerful Squads were still gathering strength, acting low-key and not making any major moves.
The final chaos was about to occur in the coming days... because time was running out.
"That ruin is right there!" Ruan Ling pointed ahead, where a tall mountain came into view, revealing the true appearance of the ruins.
The mountain was only half intact; its midsection had been flattened into a massive platform. Due to the nearby mist, the ruins slowly became visible.
It was a gigantic palace floating above the mountain's platform, shaped like a diamond—narrow at both the top and bottom, with the main body in the center.
This ruin was surrounded by lightning, and dark clouds loomed above. If it weren't for the nearby mist, this ruin would certainly be very conspicuous.
"It looks impressive; it seems like the owner of this place must be quite formidable," Ziyu thought to himself.
Xiang Yu was a Ninth Level Mystic, and his palace was quite imposing but lacked any special effects... whereas this palace was very extravagant, suggesting that its owner must have been someone who loved to show off.
"This ruin is very popular; many powerful Squads have their eyes on it. If a weaker Squad enters, they could easily be bullied and have their points stolen before being driven out," Ruan Ling said.
Just looking at its exterior made it clear that this ruin was extraordinary.
"Yeah, if we just hang around outside, many people will come to us; we can collect their points," Ziyu said casually.
"You... you want to enter the ruins?" Ruan Ling exclaimed in shock.
The outskirts naturally refer to the periphery of the ruins...
"Yes, let's go in; there won't be any danger," Ziyu said. "Of course, before that, we need to find the Squad that provoked us..."
"Alright... let's do it," Ruan Ling nodded.
This Squad, Ziyu's, could be considered top-tier; it's just that everyone was not used to it and thought their strength was not strong.
In reality, even the weakest member of this Squad was already at level five Transcendent, making them very powerful!
"Let's go." The Spaceship opened its Hatch, and everyone stepped out. The Spaceship then instantly disbanded, dissolving into individual atoms and disappearing shortly thereafter.
"This... you also have a spatial storage Mystical Weapon?" Ruan Ling was taken aback again but did not see any decorative items on Ziyu.
Storage Mystical Weapons cannot be kept inside the body, so for convenience, Refiners would forge storage Mystical Weapons into decorative items like Spatial Rings, belts, pendants, and so on.
"Mm." Ziyu found it hard to explain; after all, it wouldn't do to say it was a special kind of metal... that explanation would be too complicated.
"Alright, enough talk; let's start harvesting points," Ziyu said with a slight smile as he looked at the mountain.
