Quentin's Visit-Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader "cyp6880" (2)

The next morning, Gu Ding woke up slowly, washed up, and headed towards the cafeteria.

He has always maintained the habit of eating breakfast, although sometimes he skips lunch and dinner.

Along the way, Gu Ding felt something was off. "It feels a little different from yesterday."

"Is it because there are no fallen leaves on the ground?" The Sea Emperor knew the reason for this change. Yesterday, many prisoners and Order Keeper on the Sixth Layer had been busy with sanitation work all night.

"No way, there isn't a single leaf left on the ground?!" Gu Ding found it strange. "Didn't they even leave a single leaf after they cleaned it up?"

"Because those guys used bio-glue to stick all the leaves together, they really didn't fall off anymore." When Sea Emperor saw this yesterday, he really wanted to wake up Gu Ding to admire this bizarre sight of leaves sticking together, but he gave up because he remembered that Gu Ding had a competition the next day.

"Is this some kind of exaggeration... cleaning the prison so thoroughly, is it to welcome more people to join?" Gu Ding was speechless.

"It's probably because that guy named Quentin is coming to visit, and the warden wants to make a good impression on him. After all, Quentin is the warden's Grandmaster, and now he's the head of the House of Representatives, so it's perfectly normal for her to try and curry favor with him." Sea Emperor guessed Victoria's thoughts immediately.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I'll go get some breakfast, then go to the arena for a few more matches. I should be able to break through to the Mid-rank God in the next couple of days. While advancing to higher ranks is difficult, advancing to lower ranks is not a problem for me. Once I break through to the Mid-rank God level, reaching the Five-Star Mid-rank God is just a matter of time. By then, I should be able to break through the Sixth Layer of this Gate of Purgatory and go down to the Seventh Layer."

Gu Ding knew that his current strength was mainly limited by his cultivation level. Once his cultivation reached the level of Mid-rank God, his strength would leap greatly, and he would likely be unmatched in the Sixth Layer.

After spending more than ten minutes eating breakfast, Gu Ding returned to the arena.

In this Sixth Layer arena, due to the large number of challengers, the system randomly selects opponents from among them, so over the past three days, the number of losses has exceeded the number of wins.

However, because Gu Ding possessed the ability to judge an opponent's Combat Strength by observing the intensity of their aura, he would choose to directly concede defeat against opponents who were too strong. Firstly, opponents who were too strong wouldn't serve as a form of training. Secondly, if his body were severely injured, it would delay the training progress that the Sea Emperor had originally arranged for Gu Ding, which would be a net loss. Therefore, Gu Ding remained unharmed over the past three days.

In the Sixth Layer, Gu Ding was no longer overwhelmingly dominant. The number of people watching his match was also relatively small. This was because everyone had already determined that his Combat Strength was around Six-Star Half-Step True God, approaching seven stars, but not yet fully reaching the seven-star level.

After registering at the arena entrance, Gu Ding stepped into the ring once again.

This time, he stepped onto Arena Number Eight; the seven rings ahead of him were already occupied with fighting.

Not long after Gu Ding stepped onto the stage, the system selected an opponent for him.

Challenger: Carothers

The challenger, Carothers, soon appeared on the ring.

The other person was a tall, slender man with blond curly hair. He had a fair complexion, handsome features, and wore a striking white suit, exuding an air of nobility.

Upon seeing this opponent, Gu Ding frowned slightly. Although the opponent's aura indicated Combat Strength of only Six-Star Half-Step True God, it also gave off a sense of hidden killing intent. This feeling usually arises when the opponent possesses special methods or hides some powerful bloodline.

"Gu Ding, this guy is not simple. Let's give up on this round." While giving advice, Sea Emperor also relayed the other party's information.

"This Carothers is an Interstellar Raider and a Blood Clan Duke. He possesses speed surpassing that of other strong individuals of the same level and the ability to transform to enhance his Combat Strength. He is also an extremely dangerous terrorist who once occupied a remote part of the universe in the Universe Sea, raising human women as blood slaves and draining the blood of at least thirty young girls every day."

"It seems the vampires really aren't anything good." After hearing this, Gu Ding looked at the other party with a rather unfriendly gaze.

The Interstellar Raider, formerly members of the Interstellar Pirate, lived by the code of conduct of killing, burning, and looting wherever they went, leaving chaos in their wake.

These people's actions were not much different from those of anti-human terrorists. Later, due to the extremely negative impact they caused, they were expelled from the pirate group by Interstellar Pirate.

Instead of feeling ashamed, they took pride in it and formed their own organization called the Interstellar Raider, acting even more arrogantly.

Because they were ostracized and hunted by various forces, they colluded with the infamous Ten Thousand Demons Holy Temple, becoming a genuine terrorist organization.

Standing opposite Gu Ding, Carothers stuck out his tongue and licked his scarlet lips, a greedy look in his eyes as he gazed at Gu Ding's neck. "Your blood smells so good, it looks delicious."

At this moment, the Black Armor Referee on the arena spoke up, "Carothers, I warn you, after you entered the Gate of Purgatory, you have already drained two people into dried corpses. If there is a third time, you will be immediately Capital Punishment."

"I understand. So, as long as you don't turn into a dried-up corpse, you're fine, right?" Carothers seized on the loophole in the other's words. "But you should have heard that once we vampires start drinking blood, it's hard to stop because the pleasure is so irresistible. The fresher the blood, the more so."

The Black Armor Referee couldn't refute it; the rule given above did indeed have loopholes. The cooperation between the vampires and the Federal Government was too deep; according to Carothers' crimes, it was enough to warrant the death penalty. But because he had powerful backers, he was only imprisoned in the Gate of Purgatory.

"Gu Ding, just admit defeat. With your current strength, dealing with this guy is too much of a stretch," the Sea Emperor suggested, his calculations showing that Gu Ding's chances of winning were slim.

But Gu Ding shook his head, "I'm itching to teach that scum a lesson."

Gate of Purgatory, Reed stood beside Quentin, suspended in the void, gazing at the gate with awe in his heart.

"This is the Gate of Purgatory... It really is a gate..."

"Remember, your identity this time is that of my follower. Don't give yourself away. Before I enter the Eighteenth Level, I will arrange for you to meet with Gu Ding. Don't even think about taking him away directly; it's impossible to escape from the Gate of Purgatory. Once I leave the Gate of Purgatory, I will find a way to rescue him," Quentin instructed Reed telepathically.

"I understand," Reed nodded immediately.

Not long after, the eye in the center of the Gate of Purgatory opened, and a woman and a group of golden-armored people were teleported out.

Reed looked at the group with some alarm. His current Combat Strength had reached the peak of the Half-Step True God level, and he could clearly sense that the woman opposite him and those golden-armored men were all True God-level powerhouses.

As for those golden-armored figures, Reed had heard of them before; they were likely the Order Keeper of the Gate of Purgatory. As for the woman who looked to be in her early twenties, Reed deduced that she was probably the current warden.

Because information about the Gate of Purgatory is highly confidential, even the warden's name is never revealed to the outside world. Even though Reed is a member of the Federal Government, his understanding of the Gate of Purgatory is very limited. He was even less aware that the warden was such a beautiful young woman.

Victoria, upon seeing her Grandmaster, naturally dared not be negligent. She also immediately noticed the only attendant her Grandmaster had brought this time, a boy who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although she was within the Gate of Purgatory, she was still well-informed about the outside world. She knew that it was this young man before her who had helped her Grandmaster seize the position of chief elder in the Council of Elders. Now, he was a favorite of her Grandmaster, while she herself was merely a grand-disciple she had never met, and probably didn't hold as much weight in her Grandmaster's heart. Therefore, she treated Reed with courtesy.

"Grandmaster, Brother Reed, I am Victoria, the current Warden of the Gate of Purgatory. The eighteen golden-armored men behind me are the eighteen Order Keeper of the Gate of Purgatory. Welcome!" Victoria might have deliberately provoked others, but she dared not be the slightest bit presumptuous before Quentin. A man capable of slaughtering the Strongest King was likely several times stronger than the three Order Keeper Leader.

"I've heard of you." Quentin nodded, his expression largely neutral. His blank face was merely a facade to conceal his inner anticipation. "Lead the way!"

Unbeknownst to Quentin, his expressionless face made Victoria feel somewhat uneasy.

"It seems this Grandmaster is not easy to serve. What should we do?"

"Please follow us, both of you." Victoria's expression remained calm as she led the two of them into the eye of the Gate of Purgatory.

Reed followed Quentin, increasingly feeling that the door was somewhat mysterious.

After passing through the gate, Quentin and his companions entered the First Level of the Gate of Purgatory.

The First Level of the Gate of Purgatory is where the Order Keeper's office building is located, as well as where Warden Victoria's office and client reception area are situated.

After entering the Gate of Purgatory, Reed looked around with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask, "Where is the prison at the Gate of Purgatory?"

"This is the prison." Quentin couldn't help but laugh when he heard the question. "Everyone thinks that the Gate of Purgatory is a terrifying place, but in reality, it's not what everyone thinks at all."

Quentin said, then turned to Victoria, "Girl, why don't you find someone to go shopping with him?"

"Belinda, why don't you take little Reed around for a bit? Answer any questions he may have." Victoria immediately assigned this task to Belinda.

"Yes!" Belinda nodded, then turned to Reed. "Mr. Reed, please come with me."

"Grandmaster, please come to the conference room with me. I have some excellent tea there..."
