199: I ask you to set a small goal, not to brag!

Everyone sincerely finished their study, fully realizing the terror of the 'Internal Competition King'.

Tang Gao not only possessed terrifying talent, but also a soul-shaking ability for internal competition.

He was completely unversatile and very special.

Finally, under the topic summarized by Principal Liu Lang's remark, 'The multi-element Domain Fusion System has research value,' this one-sided exchange and learning session concluded.

Everyone left with complex expressions; some decided to try researching this direction after returning, to see if they could come up with something new.

Tang Gao scratched his head: "So, I'm a unique case in the whole world?"

Li Nezha shrugged: "Those without talent can't do this, those with some talent aren't as talented as you, and even those whose talent rivals yours aren't as internally competitive as you... Just keep competing, you beast."

Tang Gao was surprised: "Logically speaking, the research capabilities of Great Powers aren't worse than mine, so can't they figure this out?"

When they finally left, the principal and professors said nothing, only remaining with complex expressions.

"Their research ability isn't bad, and even their practical ability isn't bad, but they've never seen so many Domains being researched simultaneously."

Li Nezha paused, then added: "I've seen many who are well-rounded in morality, physique, intellect, aesthetics, and labor, but I've never seen someone well-rounded in Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Ice, Alchemy, Formation, Spirit, Essence..."

This was already beyond the human Realm; everyone looked at the starting cost of research and could only shy away.

Since he was already so internally competitive, what was wrong with him being a perverted Internal Competition Emperor?

Tang Gao didn't know as much as them, but the extent of his internal competition left everyone dumbfounded.

Cultivating 24 hours a day? A single eighth-stage Cultivator can do that.

Refined operation of elemental Domains? An eighth-stage Cultivator can do that.

Stacked spellcasting? An eighth-stage Cultivator can do that.

Alright, now you can try 24-hour Cultivation + stacking over twenty elemental Domains + casting spells with hundreds of different Domain states stacked.

See, is this something a human can do?

Tang Gao felt slightly regretful, thinking that this time he merely showed off and didn't learn anything useful.

Li Nezha patted his shoulder: "From now on, you'll have to walk your own path. We can only give you opinions and suggestions from an observer's perspective; all choices must be made by you."

Tang Gao was a bit at a loss, rubbing his head: "I've always learned from those before me; suddenly having to walk my own path... I'm a bit confused."

"Take a deep breath, confusion is normal. Simply in the stacking of multi-element Domains, you are already at the world's forefront.

Let me give you a saying.

Walk bravely forward, do not ask about your future."

Tang Gao sighed: "Alright."

Li Nezha smiled: "Cheer up, you're expanding territory for human civilization. If all else fails, set a small goal for yourself to help find direction."

Tang Gao thought of a past idea he had: "Teacher, do you think I can reach the level of a Human Emperor?"

Li Nezha's smile instantly froze: "I told you to set a small goal, not to brag.

Do you know what level a Human Emperor is?"

Tang Gao asked curiously: "What level?"

Li Nezha hesitated for a moment, then said: "Do you know what the concept of Reincarnation for Ten Thousand Lifetimes is?"

Tang Gao stared blankly: "One must Reincarnate for Ten Thousand Lifetimes to become a Human Emperor?"

Li Nezha shrugged: "Many Human Emperors have appeared throughout history. Among them, the very first Heavenly Court Human Emperor used the 'Longevity Reincarnation Scripture' as their Foundation, Reincarnating through all things, and finally stepping into the Human Emperor Realm.

I'll mention a name you might find a bit unfamiliar, for example, the first Heavenly Court Human Emperor was Zhang Bain.

The name you're more familiar with is the Jade Emperor.

A Human Emperor is a top-tier among tenth-stage Cultivators; you can stop dreaming."

Tang Gao thought about the difficulty, then gave an awkward laugh: "Then forget it, I'll just barely Cultivate to the tenth-stage."

Li Nezha looked at him speechlessly: "...Alright, you've grasped the essence of showing off. Go eat."

Ninth-stage, this kid might be able to achieve it.

Tenth-stage... In the Three Hundred and Sixty States, how many tenth-stage Cultivators currently exist?

A single state might not even produce one tenth-stage Cultivator.

To this day, the number of tenth-stage Cultivators is top secret; no one knows how many there are.

But... this can be roughly deduced.

Even among Geniuses, one in ten thousand, 1.4 billion Cultivators still means 140,000 Genius Cultivators, and among these Geniuses, only one in ten thousand again is qualified to contend for the ninth-stage.

Tenth-stage?

Strong individuals who influence world patterns aren't so easily born.

Even with Tang Gao's extraordinary talent.

Tang Gao ran off, seeing that it was still early, he spent some time in the library researching the Dao of the Seventy-Two Transformations, preparing for the next defense test.

The result was unfortunately.

Tang Gao closed his laptop, looking bewildered: "It can reverse time, predict the future, drive the sun and moon, but it doesn't have a Divine Ability specifically for increasing defense?"

Old Ancestors, the methods you Cultivated are a bit too outrageous.

But then again, if one can Cultivate to this level, what need is there for defense?

He probably had to find other ways.

Tang Gao glanced at the time, put away his laptop, and got up to return to the villa.

As Tang Gao reached the door, he heard Liu Ren's scream and Xu Ling'er's angry roar from inside.

Tang Gao scratched his head, pushed open the door, and saw Xu Ling'er chasing Liu Ren furiously with a rolled-up textbook, while everyone else sat obediently watching the show.

Tang Gao walked in and asked curiously: "Xiao Yi, what's going on?"

Liu Yi calmly took out a bottle of mineral water from his spatial ring and handed it over: "Sister Xu assigned training tasks, and my brother slacked off and even lied to Sister Xu that he completed them."

Tang Gao took it, lamenting: "Xu Ling'er really has a bad temper, getting so agitated after being tricked once."

Liu Yi shrugged: "Ever since you were hospitalized, his training tasks have never been completed as required."

Tang Gao was startled, calculated for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You just watched him do that?"

He hasn't Cultivated for over a month, alright, brother.

Liu Yi said seriously: "I searched the house, but I couldn't find a stick."

Liu Ren saw Tang Gao return, overjoyed, and quickly ran over, hiding behind him: "Brother Tang! Save me! This crazy woman wants to kill me!"

Xu Ling'er was furious, fuming, and angrily pointed at Liu Ren: "Slacking off is one thing! But you dared to lie to me! Tang Gao, get out of my way! I gave him a Cultivation plan, and he's been lazy for over a month!"

Liu Ren stood behind Tang Gao, self-righteously: "This is female oppression of a male! It's unfair bullying!

As a new-era male, I must resist this immoral oppression!"

Tang Gao checked his spatial backpack for items while appeasing Xu Ling'er: "Don't be angry, calm down."

Xu Ling'er exploded with rage: "He not only lied to me, but also to General Feng! And to Xiao Yi!

This bad habit must not be indulged!!!"

As the big sister, Xu Ling'er hated her younger siblings slacking off, and most of all, she hated them lying to her.

Liu Ren had done both.

Liu Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew Brother Tang wouldn't just watch me get beaten."

Tang Gao searched for a long time, then simply bought a steel wire seven-wolf whip from the spatial store, took it out, and handed it to Xu Ling'er: "Use this, it has more power, give him a complete childhood."

Liu Ren's face instantly turned pale: "Brother, dear brother! You're not going to just watch me get beaten, are you!"

Tang Gao performed an over-the-shoulder throw, putting Liu Ren on the ground, then calmly walked past him, sat on the sofa, unscrewed the mineral water, turned his back to Liu Ren, and sighed: "If a child is disobedient, a beating will do."

Xu Ling'er attacked furiously, immediately demonstrating whip techniques to chase Liu Ren, determined to severely punish the slacker in the team.
