Boss, You're Seriously Too Smart

Even before Gu Ding descended to the Second Level of the Gate of Purgatory, the Sea Emperor had already devised a plan for Gu Ding to amass a large number of points. Just like before on the First Level, he would first Arena Registration, schedule the challenge for eleven days later, and then wander around the Outer Domain Battlefield for ten days, thus saving time.

The reason it wasn't scheduled for ten days later was because we were worried that we might get bogged down in the Outer Domain Battlefield, so we specifically left one day as a backup.

After leaving the arena, Gu Ding headed straight for the teleportation point in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

After completing the registration, Gu Ding stepped into the teleportation array and appeared in the second Outer Domain Battlefield a moment later.

The Silver Armor Order Keeper not far from the teleportation array clearly recognized Gu Ding as well. "Gu Ding, you've only been on the First Level of the Gate of Purgatory for less than twenty days, right? You're already on the Second Level?"

"The First Level is no longer challenging; there's not much point in staying there," Gu Ding said bluntly.

"But after only ten days, you're still not very familiar with the various rules within the Gate of Purgatory, are you?" The Silver Armor Order Keeper knew that what Gu Ding said was true. Generally speaking, even some powerful individuals who enter the Gate of Purgatory will choose to stay at the initial level for a while to familiarize themselves with the rules of the entire Gate of Purgatory before challenging the lower levels.

"It's alright, you can learn the rules at any level, there's not much difference." Gu Ding didn't care at all. He was so confident because he genuinely didn't care, and also because the Sea Emperor was there, so there was no need to worry about such things. If there really were any rules he needed to know, the Sea Emperor would definitely remind him immediately.

Hearing Gu Ding say this, the Silver Armor Order Keeper was speechless. "It seems that this kid really is as the legend says, a hothead."

Gu Ding instantly appeared in front of the Silver Armor Order Keeper. "Please register me, thank you."

"Registration lasts for ten days. You cannot teleport away within ten days. Kills made after ten days will not count towards the double points," the Silver Armor Order Keeper reminded Gu Ding, worried that he might not know the rules of the Outer Realm Arena.

"Yes, I know." Gu Ding nodded.

"You are Low-rank God, and this is the Second Level of the Outer Domain Battlefield. In terms of cultivation, you are at a disadvantage. This is because those who enter this Outer Domain Battlefield are basically powerful beings with cultivation levels of at least Mid-rank God. Prodigies like you are extremely rare. Moreover, if prodigies with insufficient cultivation enter the Outer Domain Battlefield, members of Alien Race forces will be even more eager to hunt them down. This is because suppressing enemy prodigies is what various Alien Race love to do most. Furthermore, various Alien Race forces also send various Prodigy Experts the strength of Half-Step True God to enter this battlefield and plunder merit and honor."

"I know that too," Gu Ding nodded.

The Silver Armor Order Keeper paused for a moment, then continued, "Let me tell you about the situation in this Outer Domain Battlefield. This Outer Domain Battlefield is a three-way battle. In addition to humans, there are two other Alien Race, namely the Carter Tribe and the Orc Clan."

"You've probably heard of the Carter Tribe, a multi-winged, multi-legged fighting race. The Carter Tribe, at the Mid-rank God level, has four wings and eight legs, and both wings and legs are extremely sharp weapons. As for the Orc Clan, they are also a notorious multi-legged race, at the Mid-rank God level, with thirty-two tentacles. The tentacles can transform into any type of weapon, making them impossible to defend against."

"This Outer Domain Battlefield is a three-way battlefield. The rule is that no matter which of the other two Alien Race you encounter, do not let them go."

"I understand." Gu Ding was happy to hear that this was a three-way battlefield, because it meant that the combined number of Alien Race was greater than that of humans, and it also meant that he could get more points.

After leaving the teleportation point, the Sea Emperor began to explain the two races to Gu Ding, providing them with deeper information.

"The Carter Tribe is a race with abnormal development. Before becoming gods, members of this race had no wings and walked upright on two legs, with only two arms shaped like knives. But after becoming gods, their physical form underwent a huge change."

"The Carter Tribe, Low-rank God, have grown a pair of wings, and their original four limbs have evolved into six, and their forms have all become similar to insects, the Knife race."

"The Carter Tribe, who are Mid-rank God, will grow an additional pair of wings, giving them two pairs of wings, and their six blade-like feet will evolve into eight."

"After that, with each major advancement in cultivation level, he will grow an additional pair of wings and two sword-like feet."

"They can not only use blades as weapons, but also use their wings to slash. Moreover, their flight speed is terrifying. Among the various races in the Great Universe Sea, their speed ranks among the top five when their strength is equal."

"Therefore, when encountering such Alien Race, the safest approach is to kill them directly without any hesitation."

"The Orc Clan are also a race with abnormal development. Before becoming gods, members of this race were eight-legged soft-bodied beings who had to live in water. After becoming gods, their physical form and lifestyle underwent tremendous changes."

"Only after reaching the level of a demigod can they survive out of water and gain parasitic abilities and the ability to regenerate severed limbs. To kill them, all their tentacles must be destroyed, otherwise they can regenerate."

"The Ork race, Low-rank God Orc Clan, doubled their eight tentacles to sixteen. They began to grow armor-like shells from their original soft bodies. Furthermore, their tentacles gained the ability to transform into various weapons."

"The Orc Clan, who are Mid-rank God, have their sixteen tentacles double to thirty-two legs. After that, the number of tentacles doubles once for each major advancement in their cultivation level."

"This race is extremely intelligent and cunning, so they have a terrible reputation in the Great Universe Sea. They are notorious and no other race likes them."

"Besides possessing numerous tentacles that can transform into weapons, they can also parasitize and regenerate, making them difficult to kill. Moreover, the races they parasitize are hard to detect as abnormal. Their only weakness is their fear of fire. Under the scorching heat of flames, their Combat Strength will be weakened, and their movements will become sluggish."

After listening to the Sea Emperor's introduction, Gu Ding finally had a complete understanding of the two races. He had only heard the names of the two races before, but did not know the specifics.

"No matter what kind of Alien Race it is, my strategy is to annihilate them directly." Gu Ding said this with great confidence. "Now, which way should we go?"

"At 11 o'clock, 280 kilometers away, there is a small squad of the Carter Tribe, consisting of sixteen Carter Tribe," Sea Emperor gave the first target.

With a sudden burst of strength, Gu Ding leaped high into the air and sped off in the direction the Sea Emperor had indicated.

While Gu Ding was busy on the Outer Domain Battlefield, the Second Level of the Gate of Purgatory was also bustling with activity.

The news that Gu Ding had entered the Second Level quickly spread among Barite and his group, becoming common knowledge.

"Is this Gu Ding the kid who publicly declared a few days ago that he would escape from the Gate of Purgatory within three years?"

"Of course, he's got some nerve. He's only One-Star Low-rank God, yet he dares to come to our Second Level. Let's not even talk about the others; he'll probably get beaten to a pulp by Barite."

"Yes, Barite is probably stronger. According to the Wanted Order that the Federal Government showed, Gu Ding's Combat Strength was only three-star Half-Step True God. Barite, on the other hand, has the strength of Four-Star Half-Step True God. There were quite a few arrogant guys in the past, including some who went down to the Third Level, who were all beaten up by Barite."

"If Barite hadn't wanted to wait for his group of underlings to improve, he would have gone to the fifth or even the Sixth Layer long ago. It's normal that he's stronger than Gu Ding, after all, his cultivation is that of a Five-Star Mid-rank God, while Gu Ding is only One-Star Low-rank God. Even among monstrous talents of the same level, Gu Ding would not be a match for him."

Clearly, many people favor Barite, who has held the top position in the Second Level for many years, over Gu Ding.

"What do you think Barite meant? He publicly announced that Gu Ding had arrived at the Second Level of the Gate of Purgatory and informed everyone that Gu Ding was open to all challenges. Yet he warned everyone that no one was allowed to challenge Gu Ding," one person couldn't help but ask.

"Barite won't allow anyone else to challenge him, and the reason is obvious." Someone next to him guessed the reason. "Because he wants to be the first to challenge Gu Ding. If no one else clicks the challenge button, the arena's system will only choose him as the sole challenger. It's not like he hasn't done this before."

"But he didn't need to tell us that Gu Ding publicly accepts all challenges, did he?" the man pressed.

"I don't know, but it wouldn't be surprising if that guy Barite did something. Who knows what's going on in his head?" the previous speculator muttered.

"Boss, you're incredibly clever," Bruce praised Barite. "Although you fulfilled Gu Ding's request by informing everyone on the Second Level about accepting the challenge, thus completing his task, you also warned everyone against challenging Gu Ding. This way, you were the first to challenge him, achieving your Gu Ding in the same way. It's a perfect solution, killing two birds with one stone, a win-win situation... brilliant, dashing, and debonair..."

"That Bruce, this idea was clearly his own, is he just praising himself indirectly?" Kevin's lips twitched slightly. "He really is a cunning old fox, shameless indeed!"

Barite, however, was flattered by Bruce's words and completely forgot that the idea was not his own.
