168: With so many powerful individuals gathered, the ability to die has become incredibly common.

Shen Pan's mouth twitched.

The non-standard Heimlich Maneuver... Can you stop using such strange euphemisms!

He felt that ever since he became Jiang Ruolai's Wall-Breaker in Sakura.

Although she is still somewhat dim-witted, or rather, her brain has further degenerated.

But she has made rapid progress in certain improper areas.

Even Loli Ruan, who is comparable to a Succubus, has been surpassed!

She can even say things in the early morning that used to make her blush, right in front of Qingshu!

Is this kind of progress a good thing or a bad thing?

Shen Pan was extremely worried inside, suspecting that this Ruolai had been corrupted by Senior Sister [Lust].

But there was no proof.

“...”

Ruan Qingshu, who had already finished the loving breakfast made by Shen Pan, squinted sideways at Jiang Ruolai.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was about to fall behind and become a roadside character.

She would have kicked her right off Shen Pan's lap!

She can't even hold back for this short amount of time.

Such poor self-control, Ruolai is completely ruined!

Unlike her, she remained calm even though she hadn't received support in the past two days.

This is the composure of an Empress and a Pioneer!

But after her body was strengthened, Jiang Ruolai only thought about stimulation and completely missed the look of disdain in her best friend's eyes.

She even wanted to grasp the future with her own hands.

“Stop fooling around, Qingshu is still here, and I have to make an appearance soon.”

Shen Pan grabbed the little hand reaching for his head and refused helplessly.

He really wouldn't mind pulling Qingshu into a three-person queue.

Following the methods demonstrated in the Secret Manual given by Senior Sister Xia.

To accelerate his teammates' cultivation.

Of course, they wouldn't mind this; they might even be thinking of tricking their best friend during the queuing process.

But Shen Pan also knew the priorities of the situation.

Someone has probably already arrived at the Imperial Capital Academy now.

Even if he, the organizer, couldn't go early, he shouldn't be late, right?

Moreover, some unknown mutation has occurred to Ruolai.

Her physical fitness seems to have improved significantly.

She successfully upgraded from a weak Little Water Doll to a durable Big Water Doll!

Shen Pan suspected that this future Your Excellency, the Councilor... wasn't the kind of Dual Cultivation Sacred Body often found in novels, was she?

She can get stronger just by being intimate???

...Imperial Capital Academy.

At this moment, more than twenty High-tier Awakened from various countries on Blue Star.

Were looking blankly at the man who calmly walked past them.

“T-the sixth High-tier Awakened of the deification system!”

“Excluding Shen Pan, Great Xia actually has so many High-tier Awakened!

Why was there no information about them before?”

“Great Xia was hiding its strength so deeply!”

Before coming, they had thought Shen Pan was their biggest enemy.

Judging by the strength he displayed, which was at least Ninth Tier Peak.

Even if all of them teamed up, they couldn't defeat him.

But no matter how powerful Shen Pan was, he was only one person.

He could only take one reward, leaving nineteen spots for them to fight over!

But upon arriving at the Imperial Capital Academy, they realized they were ridiculously wrong!

Great Xia had an unreasonably large number of experts.

Especially since Great Xia prohibited the Path of Faith.

To still have so many high-tiers... They couldn't help but wonder if they were the ones lacking, or if Great Xia had cheated.

It was already extremely lucky for other countries to produce two or three High-tier Awakened.

For example, the USA only has one Sea God so far.

Which completely lowered the prestige of being a superpower.

This caused everyone throughout the USA to be filled with doubt and dissatisfaction regarding the Third New System.

And many more countries didn't even have a single Awakened!

“As expected of the civilization that produced the Great Xia Sword Immortal, a civilization wearing the skin of a country!”

A middle-aged man with a large beard and holding a bird-headed staff sighed enviously.

Beside him was a stylishly dressed blonde youth.

It was none other than the God of the Sky, who had previously gone to Sakura to participate in the competition!

“Hah! Hades, you spend all your time cooped up in Olive Country; you still lack experience!

It's perfectly normal for Great Xia to have this level of strength.”

“If all the other Awakened besides Shen Pan were trash, I would be shocked!

Don't forget, the number of Great Xia Epic Experts is greater than the USA and Gray Bear combined!”

Zeus chatted with his companion while carefully observing the crowd.

He was preparing to see if there were any evenly matched opponents.

He finally came to a conclusion—

No need to worry.

This time, he could enter the top three with his eyes closed!

Last time, the Fan Acquisition Plan in Sakura went bankrupt halfway through.

The competition hadn't even started, and Neon City was nearly destroyed.

Fortunately, Shen Pan, who controlled space, was very generous.

He was actually willing to take out such an Opportunity and share it with others!

Zeus suspected that this so-called reward that allows people to Breakthrough a major Rank.

Was the Damaged Altar used by Kujo Senko that day!

That was a great item that could help deification system Awakened directly Breakthrough their Realm!

The target of the guy who claimed to be a native of the USA was also that altar.

“No wonder Shen Pan infiltrated the Kujo Family...”

His actions must have been authorized by the high-level officials of Great Xia!

Zeus had already decided to use the competition reward to raise himself to Eighth Tier Peak.

He would go back and continue his great undertaking, persisting in sowing seeds.

It would be best if he could get his hands on that recent slut who calls herself the Goddess of Beauty but sleeps with everyone.

He was determined to become the second Awakened on Blue Star to Breakthrough to the Epic Rank!

Suddenly.

A young man wearing black ornate robes and a strange hat, surrounded by many Awakened, walked into the Imperial Capital Academy.

Hades, whose eyes were unfocused as he pondered what to eat for lunch, jolted.

He sensed a power similar to his own!

That was a competitor who also possessed the Authority of Death!

“Crunch! Crunch!”

Hades clenched his hands, his fingers cracking from excessive force.

His eyes instantly became bloodshot, and his face displayed anger and disgust that he himself hadn't realized.

“Hmm?”

The Lord of Reincarnation, who considered himself the final act, suddenly turned his head.

He felt an extremely powerful malice directed purely at him.

The source of the gaze was the big-bearded man next to Zeus!

Before he could speak, the team from Britannia happened to enter.

Aside from the God of Thunder and Eileen, who was disguised as the God of Strength.

There was also a silhouette that caused Hades and the Lord of Reincarnation to have a stress reaction.

It was a woman whose body was distinct on both halves.

The left half of her body was beautiful and lovely, like a vibrant young girl.

While the other half of her body had pale blue skin and looked like an overly aged woman.

The aura of death emanating from her was incredibly obvious to both Hades and the Lord of Reincarnation!

“Yet another Awakened possessing the Authority of Death???”

The Lord of Reincarnation was extremely astonished.

His Majesty Shen Pan was one thing, and the very familiar loli beside him was also fine.

But why are there so many Awakened mastering the Authority of Death abroad?

Could it be true, just as he said yesterday, that the Power of Death has completely become commonplace?

Does everyone actually possess it?

Just as the three Awakened who possessed the Authority of Death looked at each other.

They suddenly sensed something, and their expressions changed simultaneously!

“Such dense Power of Death!”

In an instant.

A jet-black gate, hundreds of meters tall, rusty, and adorned with ghost heads, appeared without warning!

Under the panicked and confused gazes of the crowd.

The jet-black giant gate burst open, and a cold wind blew out, chilling everyone present.

The cold wind made them feel as if their own lifespans had been reduced.

Closely following were the miserable cries of ten thousand ghosts wailing and the sound of chains dragging.

Looking at the sinister, terrifying, and ominous gate.

An international Awakened said blankly.

“W-what happened? Is it an Otherworld invasion?”

“Clank!” “Clank!”

Incredibly clear footsteps came from inside the gate.

Every step trod upon the tightly strung nerves of the crowd.
