Longsword 'Frost'

"This move... should be called Wave?" Gu Ce murmured.

Wave was a sword move Gu Ce had created based on the Longevity Swordplay.

It was still only in its infancy.

It was also the final sword strike he had used to slay the Purple Lightning Li Dragon.

This move incorporated Gu Ce's Water Artistic Conception, a sword move as surging as ocean waves, capable of swallowing everything.

After bringing the Purple Lightning Li Dragon's head ashore, Gu Ce thought for a moment before making a call and having people from the Training Camp come salvage the corpse.

Most of the Purple Lightning Li Dragon's body had sunk to the bottom of the water. Without specialized equipment or a Spirit Reader, it would be difficult to retrieve.

The corpse was worth several tens of billions of Huaxia credits, and it could count toward Gu Ce's battle record as well. It would be a waste to leave it behind.

Now that he had comprehended the Water Artistic Conception, it was time to return and claim his rewards.

Inspector Wang watched the scene in astonishment, only lowering his weapon after a long while.

"Young people these days are truly ridiculous."

After returning to the Training Camp, Gu Ce was about to head to the Trial Tower to test his Combat Power Amplification and claim his reward.

"Gu Ce, I want to challenge you!"

Renatus had not expected to encounter Gu Ce here and immediately issued a challenge.

"A challenge? Wait for now. I'm busy."

Gu Ce gave him a strange look and entered the trial room.

"He ran away?"

Renatus's expression changed, and he grew somewhat angry. Then he looked toward the trial room, an idea forming in his mind.

"Candice, go check the Black Dragon Ranking and see whether Gu Ce's rank has changed!"

Renatus knew Gu Ce had only gone to the Hunting Area today. He was quite dissatisfied with him and curious about why he possessed so many special privileges.

Before this, Gu Ce had never entered the trial room!

After challenging those people, he had remained in the Gravity Chamber tempering his body. No one knew his true strength.

After receiving Renatus's order, Candice immediately headed to the Black Dragon Ranking.

"He's currently ranked 107th. It seems he killed quite a few monsters in the Hunting Area!" Candice said at once.

The ranking was based on points, while points were determined by Battle Achievement Points multiplied by Combat Power Amplification. Gu Ce's publicly displayed Combat Power Amplification was currently 1.

Renatus was just about to throw out a few mocking remarks when Candice suddenly spoke.

"Wait, his ranking is still rising!" Candice said with some alarm. "Rank 34... he's surpassed you. He's ranked first!"

"Ranked first!" Renatus froze.

His Combat Power Amplification was 14.8. Together with his usual hunting in the Hunting Area, that allowed him to steadily suppress Chu Qiang and rank second, behind only Eben, who had entered the Training Camp earlier.

Even so, he believed he could grow quickly, and first place did not seem too far away!

Yet Gu Ce's appearance seemed to have shattered his confidence.

"Hm? Weren't you going to challenge me? Pick a time."

Gu Ce walked out of the trial room and looked at Renatus, who was a head shorter than him.

"No." Renatus said blankly. "I'm not worthy."

Gu Ce watched Renatus leave with a strange expression, shook his head, returned to his room, and contacted Thor!

"First place!" Candice's voice trembled, lingering fear in his heart.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Fortunately, he had not offended Gu Ce!

He felt incomparably fortunate that he had not listened to his companion and challenged Gu Ce before. Otherwise, he might not even have known how he died.

"Why? What gives him the right?" a short, chubby dark-skinned boy questioned from the side. He was completely dumbfounded by Gu Ce's results.

"What must his Combat Power Amplification be? Exceptional?" someone said in disbelief.

Everyone knew that today was Gu Ce's first time entering the Hunting Area!

Although the Battle Achievement Points he earned in a single day exceeded what others earned in half a month, without an extremely high Combat Power Amplification, it would still be difficult to compete for first place.

"This news must be spread as quickly as possible!"

There were always people watching the Black Dragon Ranking.

Gu Ce's ranking caused an enormous stir across the world.

The five major powers, the HR Alliance, the Limitless Martial Arts School, the Lightning Martial Arts School, and every other faction were all considering one question.

Where had this Gu Ce come from?

Very quickly, Gu Ce's information was placed on the tables of every major faction.

"A student of the Lightning Martial Arts School? Why is he at the Limitless Martial Arts School? Is he Thor's disciple?"

"He's from the Gu Family!"

"Gu Hechang's nephew? He cannot be provoked. Do everything possible to recruit him!"

"Damn it, why is it another genius from Huaxia! Didn't Luo Feng appear not long ago?"

"Luo Feng cannot compare with him. This Gu Ce is destined to become a Councilor, perhaps even a Council Leader. He's only sixteen this year!"

"Can we find a way to..."

"Unrealistic. Gu Hechang and Thor have a close relationship. They were comrades during the Great Nirvana, and Gu Ce entered the Lightning Martial Arts School first... there's a high chance he's Thor's disciple. I wouldn't dare lay a hand on Thor's disciple."

Just as the various factions continued their arguments, something else happened.

Gu Ce's name disappeared from the Black Dragon Ranking!

That meant he was dead, or... he had graduated!

"Kid, you caused such a huge commotion. Everyone outside is talking about your achievements now."

On the fighter jet, Thor spoke helplessly.

He had originally planned to head straight to Antarctica, but Gu Ce called and summoned him over again.

The rewards for the third and fourth clauses of the contract were with him, so naturally he had to distribute them personally.

"Still, the speed at which your strength has improved is truly monstrous. Looks like I made that contract too simple." Thor clicked his tongue.

"Indeed." Gu Ce nodded in agreement.

"Give you an inch and you take a mile!" Thor glared at Gu Ce and took out a large case from the side.

"There, your things are inside. Take them and get out." Thor said.

Gu Ce ignored him and unhurriedly opened the case.

The case was divided into two compartments. In the upper compartment lay a pure white longsword that emitted icy chill, as though it were carved from ice.

The moment he saw it, Gu Ce knew this was a Force Weapon!

Its exact rank was unknown, but it probably was not high, at most first or second rank.

His fingers lightly brushed the blade, and a faint icy mist instantly curled around them. Gu Ce grasped the longsword in his hand, somewhat amazed.

If he encountered that Purple Lightning Li Dragon again, Gu Ce was confident he could cut it down with a single stroke!

"How is it? This thing's pretty good, right?" Thor laughed. "Unfortunately, there aren't any experts who use swords in my Lightning Martial Arts School, so you're getting a bargain, kid. This thing is far better than an SS-grade weapon."

"Not bad. It's just missing a scabbard." Gu Ce picked up the black ring beside 'Frost'.

The famed Black God Set, the standard first-rank Force Battle Suit of the Yinmo Star lineage.

After putting it on his hand, Gu Ce moved his mind, and black liquid immediately enveloped his entire body, leaving behind only openings for breathing.

Thor nodded at the sight and said, "With these two pieces of equipment, plus the Thousand Year Ice Marrow Crystal, you should count as an Invincible War God. Later, I'll arrange an inspector position for you. Go register your name in Jiangnan Base City."

"Hall Master, haven't you forgotten something?" Gu Ce asked with a smile.

"What about the ruins in Antarctica?"
