Ch 43: Wang Yangming
Chu Mo was dazed for a moment, finding himself in a vast wilderness.
“The Heroic Spirit Detection Room couldn’t be this big, so is this a virtual world similar to the Heroic Spirit World?” Chu Mo mused.
Nüwa’s cold prompt suddenly sounded, “Initiating identity verification, initiating information gathering.”
“Ding! Demonic Cultist extermination detected, minimum rating: Sixth Grade. Record broken in the Heroic Spirit World for both Strength and Speed Charts, minimum rating: Tenth Grade. Ding! Confirmed as a peerless prodigy, commencing prodigy data simulation.”
A phantom figure gradually materialized before Chu Mo, tall with disheveled hair and sharp eyes.
“Current opponent: First Level Tenth Grade, Wang Yangming.”
“Top ten on the Battle Power Chart?” Chu Mo frowned slightly, quickly confirming that his opponent wasn’t real. “So, Nüwa is simulating him? I wonder how much of his original power he possesses…”
Chu Mo attacked without hesitation. Even if he suppressed his strength to Half-Step Heaven-Human, he was confident of victory, let alone now, at the final stage of a certain level of the Heaven-Human Realm.
Wang Yangming was instantly torn apart.
“Second Level cultivation detected, preliminary assessment: Second Level Third Grade, initiating detection!”
Wang Yangming’s figure reappeared, his aura completely different from before.
If he was a martial artist before, now his gaze was calm, possessing an indescribable charm, like a high mountain, a vast ocean, or a starry universe.
“Interesting!” Chu Mo raised his fist.
Wang Yangming raised his hand, starlight glittering, blocking the blow.
“Domain?!” Chu Mo almost instantly tasted the unique charm flowing from his opponent. It had some similarities to his Intent of Mountains, Rivers, and Seas, but in terms of breadth and vastness, it surpassed Chu Mo’s.
If Chu Mo was a mountain and sea, then Wang Yangming was like the vast starry sky. His heart encompassed everything in the heavens! “So this is another Purple Heroic Spirit!” Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed, and at that moment, he used the Luck Technique and Qi Observation Art. Instantly, a large amount of information flooded his mind.
【Name】: Wang Yangming
【Skill】: Starry Sky Domain （Yellow Grade ━ Observing the starry sky, comprehending the mind, and evolving a powerful domain from the principles of the heart.）
Yangming’s Philosophy （Purple Grade ━ Yangming’s Philosophy, the mind is principle, the unity of knowledge and action. Possesses extremely high amplification for all techniques.）
“There’s no way he only has two skills, which means he only used these two just now?” Chu Mo cracked his knuckles, lightly stepped on the ground, his voice like thunder, his fist like lightning and fire, piercing through the endless starlight.
He approached Wang Yangming as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard, the ease containing extreme killing intent. “Good, I’ll test my skills!”
“—God Slaying!”
Skill Description: A strike symbolizing the slaying of the Black Emperor, possessing unimaginable power. At the moment of execution, it will unleash the strike from one’s peak… Has a 30% chance to inflict additional critical damage on the opponent! If the opponent has Divine attributes, the chance of inflicting additional damage will increase to 70%, and the additional damage will definitely be True Damage, which cannot be negated by skills.
Black light overflowed, transforming into a black millstone, possessing the terror of crushing everything.
Wang Yangming’s body flew out, a clear mark imprinted on his chest, his sternum almost shattered at that moment. He stepped into the void in mid-air, somersaulted, propped himself up on the ground with one hand, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
But before he could get up, Chu Mo was already in front of him, his eyes flashing with a bright glow. “…Your weakness, clear at a glance!”
Luck Technique. Weakness Detection!
Back then, Chu Mo used this technique to confirm his victory against the Black Emperor.
Using his hand as a blade, a full-strength strike, suddenly cutting at Wang Yangming’s left neck. A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed around, Chu Mo slowly clenched his fist again, slamming it down, like a Buddha entering demonhood, filled with violent killing power, the ground erupting with countless gravel.
◈◈◈
Chu Mo calmly stared at Wang Yangming disappearing, his mind filled with thoughts. “A data simulation already feels a bit troublesome, if it was the real Wang Yangming…”
Chu Mo sighed inwardly. If he fought at the First Level Tenth Grade, he was confident of defeating Wang Yangming’s true body. But at Second Level Third Grade, he felt that the outcome was still unknown… He didn’t think that his opponent only had two skills.
“This guy, even this data simulation body, feels no weaker than the Black Emperor’s Avatar at its peak.”
Chu Mo waited for the next test to begin, but then, the cold prompt sounded.
“Strength confirmed, Second Level Third Grade! Same-level evaluation defined: Prodigy.”
“Heroic Spirit confirmed: Human Race Sage Emperor. Zhao Wu Shengzu Gao Emperor. Zhao Mo. Era: Demon Qing. Quality: Sacred Domain Grade.”
“Is it over?” Chu Mo felt a force of rejection.
◈◈◈
At this moment.
At the back hall of the Heroic Spirit Association.
An old man with white hair rushed into the hall, excitedly saying, “Where is the Purple Heroic Spirit? Where is that Purple Heroic Spirit!”
“Chairman!” Li Jing was startled, quickly standing up. The chairman of the Heroic Spirit Association possessed immense power in the entire city, no weaker than the City Lord! The man in front of her was definitely one of the top three figures in Hailing City.
Although he also only possessed an Orange Heroic Spirit, compared to Chen Hai, he had already spent seventy years, twice awakened his Heroic Spirit, and coupled with cultivation, successfully broke through and stood at the Second Level!
“He is being tested.”
“Is that so?” Xu Hua was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Heroic Spirit Detection Room with some nervous excitement.
“That, Chairman Xu, this is my daughter, Lin Daiyu. She awakened a Green Heroic Spirit, this is the test data…” A middle-aged man in a suit carefully approached, handing the report to Xu Hua with a flattering smile.
“Oh!” Xu Hua casually agreed, taking the report, his eyes still fixed on the Heroic Spirit Detection Room in the distance.
A Green Heroic Spirit, normally, he would definitely focus all his attention on this little girl. This level of Heroic Spirit was worth him building a relationship with…
But the problem was… in front of a Purple one, Green was too insignificant.
Suddenly, the instrument in front of him emitted a violent tremor, a large amount of data flashing across the screen. Finally, it froze!
【Name: Chu Mo. Level: Second Level Third Grade. Comprehensive Evaluation: Prodigy. Heroic Spirit: , Quality: Sacred Domain Grade.】
“A two-word Heroic Spirit?” Xu Hua’s pupils contracted. Because of the Heroic Spirit Privacy Protection Regulations, unless Chu Mo gave him the report, it would be impossible to see it from the outside.
Confirmed, it was indeed Sacred Domain, which truly surprised Xu Hua. However, the level and comprehensive evaluation behind it almost frightened him.
“Fck, how is this possible?!” He rarely swore.
How could a Heroic Spirit who had just awakened a few days ago possibly be at the Second Level??? He had spent seventy years to break through to the Second Level…
And he was Third Grade?!
Damn it, he was only Second Grade!!!
