78: Chapter 78 One Battle to Become a God, the Wang Family Mansion Explodes

Wang Pingan didn't look at Lu Ming; he continued walking through the crowd toward the exit of the teleportation hall.

Lu Ming stood there, silent.

Just moments ago, he had been talking about how Wang Pingan had been hiding on the periphery for five days, but now the school-wide announcement had come down: solo destruction of a demigod-level alien divine kingdom, S-grade evaluation, 98th place among freshmen.

No one in the teleportation hall spoke.

As Wang Pingan walked past Lu Ming, Lu Ming stepped back half a step.

Many freshmen nearby saw this.

The people who had just been blocking the road and mocking him were now voluntarily clearing the way.

The atmosphere in the hall had changed.

Wang Pingan didn't stop or look back.

After finishing the Blood Moon Wreckage, he had to worry about the expansion of his divine kingdom, military losses, and the bottlenecks of his subjects; he had no time to waste on someone like Lu Ming who hadn't even entered the battlefield yet.

Once his silhouette disappeared outside the hall doors, that aura of blood-evil slowly dissipated.

Voices began to rise in the teleportation hall again.

"He cleared the Blood Moon Wreckage solo; he really killed the Blood Moon Spider King."

"He's only been enrolled for a few days, and he's already rushed into the top 100 freshmen. That group from the Central Star Region must be thinking something."

"Thirty Divinity Points, plus a Grade A sequence qualification review—that score is high enough."

"Who was it that said he was scraping scraps on the periphery? Stand up and say it again."

Some people loved to watch the chaos, intentionally steering the conversation toward Lu Ming.

Lu Ming couldn't refute it.

Xinghe University's combat achievement system wouldn't fake anything, and the announcement wouldn't open a back door for the remote star regions.

Wang Pingan's record was right there.

The team behind Lu Ming no longer had their previous arrogance.

Some stole glances at Lu Ming, while others lowered their heads to check information about the Blood Moon Wreckage.

They were still bickering over the distribution of gains from their first match, while Wang Pingan had already completed a solo first kill.

The gap was obvious.

Lu Ming stared at the hall exit.

He looked down on Wang Pingan, and it wasn't just because of his background.

Resources in the Central Star Region were limited; the high-level training rooms and mentor slots at Xinghe University, as well as alien coordinates and Divinity Point rewards, all had to be fought for based on rankings.

If a newcomer from a remote star region like Wang Pingan really rushed into the Grade A sequence, he would squeeze out the resources of a batch of Central aristocratic family disciples.

The Lu family had paved the way for Lu Ming, bought information, and even assembled his team; his goal was to be a Grade A sequence candidate.

Now, he hadn't even departed, and Wang Pingan had already triggered the qualification review.

Lu Ming had no choice but to endure it.

The discussions in the teleportation hall continued to spread outward.

The Xinghe University freshman intranet also became lively.

"Freshman top 100 changes; Wang Pingan from the remote star region solo-cleared the Blood Moon Wreckage."

"The Seventeen Stars champion has high gold content; Xiao Xuan's defeat was not unjust."

"Grade A sequence review triggered; Central Star Region aristocratic children are under pressure."

The posts flooded the screen, and Wang Pingan's name spread throughout the freshman circles within half an hour.

On the other end, Wang Pingan left the teleportation hall and stepped into the teleportation array leading to the mansion district of Galaxy City.

As the array light fell, the bustling streetscape of Galaxy City reappeared before his eyes.

Divine light streaked across the streets, the entrances of chambers of commerce and resource firms were bustling, and deities from all sides entered and exited continuously.

The lingering aura of blood-evil on Wang Pingan was heavy, and many people along the way voluntarily cleared a path.

Some noticed the student identification on him and were somewhat surprised.

A newly enrolled freshman, carrying such a battlefield aura.

This wasn't something that could be produced in a simulation match.

Wang Pingan ignored the others and returned all the way to the Wang Family Mansion.

In front of the mansion gate, the array sensed his identity and opened automatically.

Wang Cang was waiting inside with the guardian team.

The Tier 3 Deity Wang Cang was usually calm and composed, able to talk and laugh freely even when facing deities from other families.

As soon as Wang Pingan stepped through the gate, Wang Cang strode up to meet him.

"Daozi, you fought fiercely in this battle."

Several Tier 1 Deities nearby were also quite happy.

During this time in Galaxy City, they had heard many names of aristocratic children from the Central Star Region.

The Wang family had never been this prominent in the Xinghe University freshman circle before.

Wang Pingan's first battle was a solo-clear of a demigod alien divine kingdom, achieving an S-grade evaluation and rushing into the top 100 freshmen.

For the Wang family, this wasn't just a student's achievement.

For the first time, the Tianhai Star Wang family had carved its name into the true circle of geniuses at Xinghe University.

Wang Cang spoke: "The mansion just received the school-wide announcement; I thought I had misread it. Solo invasion of the Blood Moon Wreckage, five days, shattered the Blood Moon Spider King's divine core, S-grade evaluation."

A First-Order Deity responsible for intelligence chimed in: "Daozi, this score is high. Just now, several resource firms in Galaxy City proactively sent messages saying that the Wang family can use priority channels for future procurement."

Another person added: "There are also two intelligence merchants who didn't pay much attention to us before; they've also sent people to send greetings, and they were very polite."

The Wang family members in the mansion gathered on both sides.

They had been working for the family in Galaxy City for years, having endured the cold eyes of the great families of the Central Star Region and the price suppression from large chambers of commerce while waiting in line.

The Wang family was a hegemon on Tianhai Star, but in Galaxy City, they were considered a third-rate family outpost.

Often, people were polite in words, but when it came to business, they had to wait in the back of the line.

Today was different.

This battle of Wang Pingan had brightened the face of the Wang Family Mansion.

Wang Cang raised his hand to quiet the voices of the crowd: "Daozi, you have sealed your divinity in one battle this time."

Wang Pingan looked at them, understanding everyone's thoughts.

The Wang family had bet their resources on him, hoping to use this to ascend to a higher family sequence.

This first battle today was the return.

Wang Cang opened a light screen, which displayed the data of the top 100 freshmen from previous years at Xinghe University.

"Daozi, there are ten thousand people in each cohort at Xinghe University. Those who can enter the top 100 in the early stages of enrollment basically all come from the Central Star Region, backed by great families with Tier 5 families or Tier 6 deities presiding over them."

He clicked on a string of names, with family marks attached behind them.

"These people have had complete inheritance since they awakened, have guidance from high-level mentors, have mature military systems, and have alien coordinates scouted in advance by their families."

Wang Cang looked at Wang Pingan.

"In a place like Tianhai Star, it was good enough in the past if someone could get into Xinghe University; as for the top 100 freshmen, no one dared to think about it before."

"Daozi, this move of yours has made a name for yourself, and also for Tianhai Star and the Wang family."

Several Wang family deities nearby nodded in agreement.

They understood the weight of this matter.

The top 100 freshmen meant resources and attention; chambers of commerce both inside and outside the school would have to re-evaluate the Wang family.

If Wang Pingan passed the Grade A sequence review, the Wang family's status in Galaxy City would rise another notch.

Those Central forces could no longer treat the Wang family as scraps.

A young steward spoke: "Daozi, should we release news to the outside, using this momentum to promote the Wang family's channels?"

Another person also chimed in: "Galaxy City recognizes results; the popularity is high now, so we should take advantage of the heat to expand our network."

Wang Pingan raised his hand.

The voices stopped.

He had just finished fighting the alien divine kingdom, and his aura was heavy; as soon as he raised his hand, everyone became quiet.

Wang Pingan looked at Wang Cang.

"It was just a broken alien demigod; there is nothing to brag about."

The people in the mansion didn't know how to respond.

Wang Cang was stunned for a moment.

Blood Moon Wreckage, S-grade evaluation, freshman top 100, Grade A sequence review.

These things carried a lot of weight in their eyes.

Wang Pingan spoke rather flatly.

This victory was only the starting point in his eyes.

Wang Pingan continued: "The momentum can be utilized, but don't spend time on celebrations."

He looked at the people in the mansion.

"I need to go into seclusion to digest the battle results; the mansion is on lockdown, all external visits are to be suppressed for now, and resource procurement channels should remain on standby."

Wang Cang nodded: "Understood. I will block the visits, and I will screen the intelligence first, so no one disturbs Daozi's seclusion."

The First-Order Deity responsible for intelligence replied: "I will close the non-essential communications of the mansion, keep the communications within the school and the family, and leave an emergency channel."

Wang Pingan added another sentence: "The origin of the Blood Moon Wreckage has already entered my kingdom; next, I need to replenish my foundation. I will give you the procurement list in a moment."

Wang Cang responded: "Rest assured, Daozi. As long as it can be bought in Galaxy City, we will send it to the school's transit point as soon as possible."

Wang Pingan didn't say anything more and walked toward the secret chamber in the backyard.

The people in the mansion watched him leave, and after the secret chamber door closed, someone finally spoke.

"Daozi won the S-grade first battle, and he doesn't even want to hold a celebration."

Wang Cang looked toward the direction of the secret chamber and said: "There are many people who can win, but it is rare to find someone who can remain calm after winning. The Great Ancestor was right to bet on him."

Inside the secret chamber, Wang Pingan activated the shielding array.

He sat cross-legged, his divine core operated, and his consciousness sank into his divine kingdom.

A territory of four thousand square kilometers unfolded beneath his feet.

After annexing the Blood Moon Wreckage, the borders of the divine kingdom were much broader than before he went into seclusion.

The newly born land carried a dark red luster, and under the combing of the Azure Gold Spiritual Veins, that violent aura was tamed bit by bit.

The spiritual mist of the Eastern Immortal Dao Ancestral Court surged, and the Northwestern Martial Dao Holy City was filled with vital energy.

The battle flags of the Northern Military Camp were stained with blood, and the surface of the southern inland sea had extra dark red tide patterns.

This divine kingdom had traces of having fought a war.

Wang Pingan looked toward the Northern Military Camp.

The Monument of Heroes stood on high ground.

More than six hundred names were engraved on the monument, each name flashing with blood light.

Wang Shan stood in front of the monument, with more than a dozen broken shields hanging behind him.

Wang Mu stood on the high platform of the central army, organizing the post-war military merits and the rest list.

The two thousand surviving main forces had become heavy with aura.

Most of the Foundation Establishment immortal cultivation elites had stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and most of the Blood Condensation Martial Heavy Armor soldiers had also entered the late stage of Blood Condensation.

The Blood Tiger Army Soul, condensed from the army's baleful aura, hovered over the military camp, swallowing the blood mist and residual evil into its belly.

Five years of bloody battles and six hundred deaths were exchanged for the rebirth of this legion.

Wang Pingan watched for a while.

He cast his gaze toward Wang Mu and Wang Shan.

Both had reached the limit of their current realm.

The spiritual liquid in Wang Mu's body was compressed to the point where it could hardly advance any further, and the prototype of the Purple Mansion had a shadow.

Wang Shan's vital energy and blood were solidified, and the threshold of the Martial Master was right in front of him.

They could not break through.

Wang Pingan saw the reason.

The spatial laws of the divine kingdom at the demigod realm were not stable enough to support the birth of Purple Mansion and Martial Master-level powerhouses.

If they broke through by force, the divine kingdom itself would first be torn apart.

If the Divine Lord did not ascend in rank, the highest combat power of the subjects would be locked.

Wang Pingan withdrew his gaze.

To reach the First-Order Deity realm, the divine kingdom's area and population needed to meet the standards, and the civilization's powerhouses and the divine kingdom's stability also had to keep up.

Four thousand square kilometers was still far from the thirty thousand square kilometer level.

Forcing a breakthrough now would be costly, and the foundation was not balanced enough.

Since the realm was temporarily locked, he would smash the foundation of the demigod stage to the limit.

There was no rush to ascend.

First, replenish the divine kingdom's energy concentration and civilization ecology, and logistics and the hundred arts also had to keep up.

Wang Pingan opened the internal mall of Xinghe University.

Account information appeared.

First kill reward: thirty Divinity Points.

Extra ranking reward for the top 100 freshmen: ten Divinity Points.

A total of forty Divinity Points.

Inside the divine core space, the one hundred points of divine power given by the Great Ancestor were also there.

Wang Pingan looked at this resource.

He decided to let the divine kingdom generate its own blood first.

Please, foster fathers and mothers, give some five-star reviews; there have been too many bad reviews recently.

Your foster son bows in thanks; besides, supporting with love is free, oh.
