307: The Six Strongest Men of Earth (Part 2)!

Virtual Universe.

Qianwu Continent, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Inside the Slaughter Arena hall, Chen Fan and five other Earth martial artists, the strongest among them, sat together at a bar, chatting casually.

"As expected of Fan-ge, his mastery of the three-attribute Origin Laws is simply too profound, especially with the Time Origin Law. It makes fighting him feel like being stuck in a quagmire, severely limiting our mobility," Wang Teng exclaimed, then took a big gulp of his drink.

For him, Chen Fan's combat power was indeed a bit too formidable.

The nine-layered three-attribute domain already severely reduced his combat strength, and with the control and restriction of Time Secret Arts, even Wang Teng, who possessed the inheritances of both 'Realm Lord Ming Sa' and 'King of Disorder,' had no choice but to rush about frantically, only to be easily killed by Chen Fan's blade.

The blade was like a ghost, a sudden clap of thunder, silently slaying its opponent.

This was the unanimous conclusion reached by everyone after fighting Chen Fan.

The reason was simple:

Chen Fan's combat power was too strong; it was best to avoid fighting him in the future!

In the Slaughter Arena battles, Chen Fan won all five matches, firmly securing first place.

The second, third, and fourth places were taken by Hong, Ma Liang, and Wang Teng, each with two wins, two draws, and one loss.

The strengths of these three were comparable, and it was impossible to determine a clear winner in a short time, so their matches ended in draws.

The last two, tied for fifth and sixth, were Thunder God and Xue Zhan, both with four losses and one draw.

Whether facing Chen Fan, Hong, Wang Teng, or Ma Liang, they all suffered crushing defeats.

Only when the two of them fought each other did they manage a rare draw.

Thus, Chen Fan was the undisputed leader. Ma Liang, Hong, and Wang Teng were tied, but based on age, Hong was second, Ma Liang third, and Wang Teng fourth. Finally, in fifth and sixth place were Xue Zhan and Thunder God.

"Today was truly exhilarating! Cheers!" Ma Liang was the first to raise his glass.

"Cheers!" x5

"Haha, Chen Fan, Wang Teng, you're here too!"

At the entrance of the hall, a familiar and enthusiastic voice rang out.

Everyone looked towards the sound, and their eyes immediately lit up.

It was none other than the Territory Lord of North Dragon City—Kluowen!

The two-star cosmic warrior badge on his chest was incredibly conspicuous.

"Kluowen, long time no see!" Chen Fan looked at the large Kluowen, returning his smile.

"How have you been recently? You seem to have gotten so much stronger?" Chen Fan carefully scrutinized Kluowen from head to toe, asking with a smile.

"Don't even mention it, it's a tearful story!"

Kluowen waved his hand, looking helpless.

"Did something happen? Tell us, and we can all help you think of a solution?" At this moment, Wang Teng also spoke.

As early as on Canglan Star, the group of Earth martial artists had already become close with Kluowen and several other Territory Lords.

After all, they were all subordinates of World Lord Yaso, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Chen Fan's relationship with Yaso was extraordinary.

"Chen Fan, long time no see!" Behind Kluowen, two slender, fair-skinned men in black walked over side by side.

"Hmm? Are you Gui Ya and Gui Dao?" Chen Fan asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's us. We came to the Slaughter Arena today to help Kluowen improve as well," as the older brother, Gui Ya naturally had the right to speak.

"Haha, that's wonderful!" Chen Fan said with a smile.

Gui Ya and Gui Dao were two elite generals under Yaso, often mentioned by him, so Chen Fan was also very familiar with the two of them.

More friends mean more opportunities, after all.

This was something Chen Fan had realized himself, and it was also something Yaso had repeatedly emphasized.

The two Territory Lord Rank nine martial artists were only a step away from successfully breaking through to World Lord.

However, this single step had once trapped countless peak Territory Lord powerhouses.

After all, each of the cosmic Origin Laws was not so easy to comprehend and master.

"Come, three elder brothers, please sit here."

"Waiter, three cups of Thunder Sea Essence!" Wang Teng called out.

Although he didn't often cultivate diligently in the Slaughter Arena, as the first in line successor of the Wang family, Wang Teng had always handled social interactions very well.

And he was also very clear that those who could stay in the Slaughter Arena were bound to achieve extraordinary things in the future.

Even if these three were only Territory Lord Rank powerhouses now.

Given time, once they broke through Territory Lord and became World Lord powerhouses, everything today would be worth it.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Teng's mind.

"Sir, your Thunder Sea Essence. Please enjoy!" A tall Cat-eared Girl in uniform respectfully brought three cups of essence liquid shimmering with lightning.

"This... how can this be?" Kluowen rubbed his hands, directly taking the cup of Thunder Sea Essence and carefully examining it.

Gui Ya and Gui Dao's situations were identical to his.

This cup of azure essence liquid was equivalent to hundreds of billions of cosmic coins, something even a typical Territory Lord could not easily afford to drink.

Now that it was being used by this young man to entertain them, the three Territory Lords immediately felt that they were being taken seriously.

"Three elder brothers, drink as you please, there's more if you need it!" Chen Fan added from the side.

Drinking some precious beverages was no big deal.

What they wanted was to constantly make powerful friends.

Then, the group drank and chatted casually.

Suddenly—

Ma Liang spoke: "Brother Kluowen, I have a question in my heart that has never been resolved. I'd like to ask you about it today."

"Hmm? What is it?" Kluowen gently swirled the azure liquid in his cup, looking sideways at Ma Liang.

"It's about when Lord Yaso invited us to join the Virtual Universe Corporation last time, and also said we could become core members. My question today is related to that." Ma Liang's expression was sincere.

"Virtual Universe Corporation?"

"Core members?" Beside them, the brothers Gui Ya and Gui Dao frowned slightly, seemingly sensing something was amiss.

"Logically speaking, as Universe Rank, you are internal members of the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Virtual Universe Corporation. You need to accumulate 100,000 mission points to become a core member of the Virtual Universe Corporation. But 100,000 mission points, even for a Territory Lord to complete, has a failure rate of over 90%. That's quite difficult, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although there was a 90% death rate, it also meant there was still some hope.

"Brother Gui Ya, how does one acquire these mission points then?" Ma Liang continued to ask, looking as if he wouldn't give up until he got a clear answer.

"Mission points are obtained by entering the Virtual Universe, which is located in the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Corporation in various Universe Countries, to receive missions. Then, by completing the corresponding tasks assigned to specific regions, you can earn mission points based on the mission's difficulty."

Pausing for a moment, Gui Ya continued: "However, the danger level of these mission worlds is very high, basically inextricably linked to the secret realms in the Primal Universe. Therefore, if you're going to enter, it's best to choose to go in as a team. That way, the safety is higher. If Universe Rank go in separately..."

Gui Ya's words stopped abruptly there.

He didn't need to say it; everyone knew what he meant afterward.

These missions were still too perilous for Cosmic-level martial artists.

"Gui Ya, where can we accept these missions?"

This time, it was Wang Teng who spoke.

"Hmm? Didn't you hear clearly, young man? You can accept them in the Virtual Universe Corporation stationed in the Virtual Universe at the headquarters of various Universe Countries. The reward amount is determined by the level of danger!"

"Oh." Suddenly enlightened x6

After listening to Gui Ya's explanation, everyone felt a sudden clarity.

At the same time, a craving for challenge spontaneously arose within them.

Having been dormant for so long, it was time to go out and make a name for themselves.

This was the shared sentiment of everyone, including Chen Fan.

As for the danger level of the missions, they weren't overly concerned.

Because rewards and risks are always directly proportional; to earn more, one must pay more.
