Chapter 40
“Not interested!”
Xia Longwu turned and headed down the mountain. “If it could be done, then you wouldn’t be this weak. If your brother was still alive, he might have a chance of entering this realm. Compared to your brother, you… are much worse!”
“I…”
Zhu Tiandao was furious. “Boy, you shouldn’t say these words to me. Be careful about getting beaten to death when you come to the Great Ming Prefecture! Besides, my brother died when he was nine, how would you know if he’s stronger than me…”
“Because he was the first nine-year-old Thousand Pound Realm genius of the human race!”
“I…”
Zhu Tiangdao couldn’t say anything to counter this. Yes, his brother was a genius, a nine-year-old Thousand Pound Realm expert. But he was also a negative example for the entire human race.
Bathed in god and demon blood and attained the Thousand Pound Realm in a day at nine years old.
The son of the Great Ming King’s first wife!
Now, the number of people who knew of his brother was ten or a hundred times more than those who knew of him. But it always felt like Xia Longwu was taunting him when he said such stuff.

However, Xia Longwu really wasn’t. He spoke as he walked, “At least he had the courage, the guts to try! If you had gone to Allskies Battlefield hundreds of years ago and fought against the kings of the myriad races, you might have become invincible. How would you get stuck at this step!
“I won’t learn from you, you’re not worthy of my learning!”
“…”
......
Zhu Tiandao was speechless. He only replied after a moment, “You made it sound simple, Xia Longwu. But I’d like to see if you can be invincible before the myriad races. That is simply courting death. You have a promising chance of stepping into the invincible realm, so why are you in a rush to throw your life away…
“If you die, who can the Great Xia Prefecture rely on for support? Your grandfather? Nobody even knows where your grandfather is right now…”
Xia Longwu’s footsteps were a little sluggish as he quickly replied, “That doesn’t matter. My second uncle is still alive. We can have him return!”
“Him? He’s even weaker than me. By that time, your Great Xia Prefecture won’t be one of the three major prefectures in the human realm anymore!”
“That’s fine. In any case, it won’t be your Great Ming Prefecture’s turn to replace us.”
“…”
Zhu Tiandao realized that there was no way of communicating with Xia Longwu and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing as the latter was about to leave, he quickly added, “The Star Universe Mansion will open in three years. The Great Ming Prefecture will have a quota of 10, while you have 20. How about we join forces when the time comes…”
“You guys are too weak; we won’t join forces with you.”
“Xia Longwu!”
Zhu Tiandao was annoyed. “I traveled tens of thousands of miles to assist you, and this is how you treat your guest from afar? How is my Great Ming Prefecture weak? After three years, my Great Ming Prefecture will send our strongest generation to Star Universe Mansion! If you are not willing to join forces, then according to the rules, I will assist but you’ll have to share with me a corpse from the god race!”
“…”
Xia Longwu’s expression changed for a moment.
“Otherwise, join forces!”
Xia Longwu turned around and stared at him for a moment. He couldn’t help but scold, “Shameless!”
“How is this shameless?”
Zhu Tiandao was frustrated. “It isn’t like we are asking you to bleed by joining forces with us. Even though your Great Xia Prefecture is strong, we aren’t weak either…”
“Hmph!”
Xia Longwu humphed and then replied flatly after a while, “Fine! But if the people of your Great Ming Prefecture are too weak, then I’d rather give you a corpse from the god race! Weaklings are not qualified to join forces with my Great Xia Prefecture!”
After that, Xia Longwu soared into the air.
Zhu Tiandao watched him leave and cursed for a while, but it quickly turned into a smile. “This rascal… sigh, is really strong!”
He sighed. (Xia Longwu is really almost at the next step.)
(I appear to be on the same level as him, but in reality, we are very far apart.)
(It’s because I have been at this step a hundred years ago and still haven’t moved an inch until now. But this boy wasn’t even born then.)
(This fellow seems to be improving every time I see him.)
(It’s no wonder that he would dare to take the risk and meet the god race head-on in the Great Xia Prefecture. He even defeated five experts from the god race in one battle.)
(Even if the Heavenly Yi God Race is strong, they’ve bled this time around.)
(Forget about the five dead experts, even the Heavenly Yi God Sect was uprooted.)
…
No one was aware of the fighting at the Great Xia Prefecture City.
Moreover, not many knew of the downfall of the five god races and the Heavenly Yi God Sect’s sect leader.
That information was too classified, and it wasn’t something they could find out.
At this moment, in Nanyan, experts like the city lord and Liu Wenyan were in discussion about the suppression of All-Races Sect members outside of the city. However, these things had nothing to do with Su Yu.
Su Yu and Chen Hao were hiding in the corner to check their harvest.
“A`Yu, have we struck it rich?”
Chen Hao looked at the reward in front of him and felt a little agitated. “A`Yu, why do you think these people carry so many things with them when they go out?”
“The All-Races Sect can’t trust anyone and migrates frequently. Since they also don’t have a fixed residence, of course they have to carry the good stuff with them. This is not surprising at all.”
About this, Su Yu didn’t think that it was strange.
At times, beheading the high-level people from the All-Sect Races wouldn’t result in many rewards. That was because those people had a fixed place of residence and were very deep in their concealment.
However, for the low-levels without a fixed residence, they would live here today and move to another place tomorrow. Killing them often meant that you could seize all their belongings.
“Two books on cultivation arts, two books on martial skills, and five drops of blood essence. Although it is unclear what kind of blood essence it is, I will know after asking around…”
Chen Hao continued counting and grinned. “And a bottle of body refinement pills. It’s a pity that there are only five pills left. This is very useful for cultivation at the Thousand Pound Realm.
“16 Anping gold coins. One gold coin is worth 10,000 Anping coins…
“This is my first time getting gold coins. My dad, on the other hand, has some, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t want to give them to me.”
Gold coins were worth a considerable amount.
Sometimes, the people of the All-Races Sect didn’t dare to deposit Anping coins, but it was inconvenient to carry them around. Hence, they would exchange it for gold coins instead to carry them around.
Regarding debit cards, these fellows didn’t even dare to use them. They were worried that it’d be frozen when their identities were exposed.
Hence, from killing these two sect members, Su Yu and Chen Hao had received quite a few gold coins.
16 pieces, 160,000!
For the two Thousand Pound Realm experts, 160,000 wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t little either. After all, they needed to cultivate as well.
