Dokter's Crushing Defeat

Dokter's ability is indeed unique; he can extract negative states from one person and transfer them to another.

At this moment, Bigge's injuries were transferred to Gu Ding. While enduring the injuries, Gu Ding only frowned slightly and didn't even utter a groan of pain.

Bigge's remaining injuries weren't actually serious; they were just bone fractures, internal organ concussions, and some surgical scars. Since there was no source of destruction within Gu Ding's body, these injuries were completely repaired by High-Speed Regeneration in less than a few minutes after being transferred to Gu Ding's body.

After Dokter finished what he was doing, Gu Ding saw Malken and Dokter out of the cabin, but then pulled Dokter aside.

"It's unrealistic for you to set your sights on Malken right now. Malken's true strength is on par with Roland's, belonging to the pinnacle of demigod power. They are beings capable of slaying gods. Although he's ranked 33rd on the demigod Ranking List, he has never proactively provoked anyone. In terms of true strength, he's definitely in the top ten. As things stand, you'll have to wait until you advance to demigod level before you can truly have a fighting chance against him. By 'have a fighting chance,' I don't mean you'll be able to contend with him at that point, but rather that you should be able to force him to use his true power."

"Does he really have the strength to slay a god?" Although Dokter knew that he had never used his full strength when he challenged Malken, he did not expect Malken to be so strong.

"Absolutely true!" Gu Ding would not doubt the Sea Emperor's findings.

"It seems that it will be difficult to defeat him before I reach the Demigod Realm. In that case, I will be trapped on this planet indefinitely..." Dokter frowned. He had originally thought that he would have a better chance of winning after reaching the Thirteenth-Order Gene Body. But if Malken was really as strong as Gu Ding said, then he would definitely not be able to leave Biuteful Star in the short term.

"Actually, you can choose to choose a different opponent," Gu Ding said, pressing his advantage as he saw that Gu Ding himself was starting to hesitate.

"Who should I replace him with? Your team, Robert's attacks are strong, but they're not comparable to humans. Whether I win or lose against him, it doesn't really matter. Besides, apart from Bigge, the others shouldn't be a match for me, right? But it seems he only has one month left." Dokter shook his head.

"Bigge will definitely be fine, you can rest assured about that," Gu Ding said confidently. "The opponent I asked you to switch to is me."

"I've seen the video of your battle last night. You could indeed crush almost all the Thirteenth-Order Gene Body. But what you don't know is that although I'm Twelfth-Order Gene Body, my soul energy is almost comparable to the Demigod Realm. Moreover, I'm a telekinetic master, and I possess demigod artifacts that can directly annihilate ordinary Demigod Realm experts. Most importantly, telekinetic masters have a natural advantage against close-combat warriors like you. Even if your Combat Strength were equal to mine, you couldn't possibly defeat me." Dokter wasn't underestimating Gu Ding. He admitted that Gu Ding was indeed very strong. Seventh Order Gene Body being able to completely overwhelm a group of thirteenth-tier beings was something even he himself couldn't do. Compared to Gu Ding, he had too many advantages, and winning wouldn't be glorious. He hoped to postpone this battle until later, when Gu Ding became stronger and might become a formidable opponent.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Gu Ding knew that the reason why Dokter was unwilling to fight him was probably because he had seen the previous video and knew that his Combat Strength was not as good as Dorcot's, so he felt that there was no need to compete. "Tonight, my strength has actually broken through again, and I just wanted to find you to verify it."

"Breakthrough in just one night?" Dokter was skeptical. Each time his own genetic level improved, it took him at least a day and a night. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that some people with special physiques could break through faster. "Then let's have a match. But let's make it clear beforehand that the loser is not allowed to make trouble or demand anything like best of three. Let's settle it in one match."

As he said this, Malken, listening nearby, was speechless, thinking to himself that this kid really had a thick skin. That best-of-three thing—it was clearly something he had asked of him, and later he not only proposed best-of-three, but also best-of-five, best-of-seven...

However, the two had played against each other countless times, and apart from the one time when Malken had no choice but to deliberately lose, Dokter never won. Malken's plan was to intentionally lose so that the kid would give up and leave. But to his surprise, Dokter didn't buy it at all, saying that the loss from deliberately losing didn't count.

"You said it yourself," Gu Ding felt that the other party had dug a hole for himself.

"Do you want me to help you set up an energy shield?" Malken was in a good mood. He had watched Gu Ding's previous videos, and if Gu Ding had really made a breakthrough, he should still have a chance to win. Moreover, Gu Ding seemed very confident. If Gu Ding could win, he could finally get rid of this stubborn guy.

"No need." Gu Ding grinned, shook his head at Malken, then turned to Dokter. "Are you ready?"

"I'm a telekinetic master. If I make the first move, you'll have absolutely no chance," Dokter said confidently.

"Then I won't hold back!" Gu Ding said, activating all his amplification abilities, instantly increasing his Combat Strength by 00 times. At the same time, he also activated his Martial Dao Domain, pulling Dokter into it.

Seeing the two disappear from the scene at the same time, even Malken was somewhat stunned. "How is this possible? Gu Ding is only Seventh Order Gene Body, and even if he breaks through, he should only be Eighth Order Gene Body. Moreover, he doesn't have the aura of a demigod. Why can he use a domain? A domain requires divine source to activate, which means that he already possesses divine source within him..."

Looking at the suddenly changed environment before him, Dokter knew he had been pulled into a domain. He wondered if Malken had done this to prevent damage to the port environment, but then he saw that the domain was empty, like an undeveloped, barren land. He immediately turned to Gu Ding and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Is this your domain?"

"That's right, it hasn't been developed yet, so it looks barren." Gu Ding scratched his head a little embarrassedly. There was nothing left in this area, not to mention the ground was full of potholes, it was indeed quite shabby.

"How did you do that? Even if you refined the domains of other demigods or gods, you shouldn't be able to activate them without divine source, right?" Dokter found it even stranger.

Gu Ding didn't bother to explain. A surge of black energy continuously flowed from his body and quickly enveloped his hands.

Dokter easily recognized that the energy Gu Ding was using was not internal force, but true divine energy. Like Malken, the black energy emanating from Gu Ding was almost living; only divine energy could produce such an effect.

"You've advanced to demigod?" This was Dokter's first reaction, but he quickly dismissed the guess. "Impossible, no one can advance from Seventh Order Gene Body to a demigod in just one night!"

"No need to guess. When you push your internal energy to its limit, it will automatically transform into divine energy. It's not a complicated principle," Gu Ding gave the answer directly.

"I know that, but I've rarely heard of anyone truly transforming their internal energy into divine energy. Most people first advance to demigod status, then switch to cultivating Mystical Divine Codex to refine and assimilate their internal energy, slowly transforming it into divine energy. This process is very slow; a typical one-star Mystical Divine Codex with refining and assimilation capabilities takes about three hundred years to complete. Even a two-star Mystical Divine Codex takes at least fifty years." Dokter had long been preparing for his demigod advancement, and for this, he had consulted many relevant materials, possessing a clear understanding of the transformation of internal energy into divine energy. "You actually transformed all your internal energy into divine energy overnight! Then let me see the power of your divine energy!"

As Dokter spoke, nearly a hundred silver daggers shot out from his sleeve, his special abilities of acceleration and sharpness simultaneously enhancing these blades. His inner energy was also a dazzling white, so the silver daggers flew out like a meteor shower across the void, their target Gu Ding. However, Dokter also noticed that in this space, his attack speed and power were greatly reduced. The moment the daggers were thrown, he knew this battle would likely be extremely difficult.

Gu Ding just grinned. Although Dokter's attack seemed fierce, only one of the hundred daggers could actually harm him. As long as he blocked with his divine source, the other daggers couldn't penetrate him at all.

However, he wanted to make his opponent accept defeat wholeheartedly. So he didn't choose to dodge or defend, but instead chose to attack.

Nearly a hundred finger strikes shot out from his ten Finger Force in quick succession, directly meeting all of Dokter's throwing knives.

The Black Radiance formed from divine energy shot out and crashed into the "meteor shower" created by Dokter. Nearly all of the nearly one hundred throwing knives were destroyed in this attack. Only the demigod artifact managed to break through the Finger Force's obstruction, but after the previous obstruction, its speed was reduced by more than half.

Gu Ding unleashed several more Finger Force strikes in succession, each Black Radiance colliding with the final Silver Radiance until it finally dimmed and bounced back.

"You've lost!" The moment Gu Ding's voice fell, Dokter found a strand of black energy appear beneath his feet, wrapping around his legs and pulling him upwards, while his own energy rapidly drained away. Within seconds, Dokter was completely encased in the black energy, only his head visible. Gu Ding's move was actually inspired by the cocooning of tentacles.

"Alright, I admit defeat..." Only now did Dokter realize that his strength was not on the same level as Gu Ding's at all.

The next instant, Gu Ding released him from his restraints and opened the exit of the domain, allowing the two to return to the port of Biuteful Star.

Looking at Dokter's ashen face, Malken, even though he knew the outcome, couldn't help but tease, "Who won?" (To be continued.)
