Although the Huaxia Nation was the first to grasp this news, it had long since spread across the globe, and other forces had developed all sorts of ideas regarding Yang Wu.
Quite a few people held a skeptical attitude.
After all, Yang Wu's speed of progress was far too fast—fast to the point of being unfathomable!
Judging by the growth time of other Planet-level experts, Yang Wu's performance was simply too exaggerated.
Yet, why was Yang Wu able to break the laws of common sense and, in just a few short months, have his strength soar crazily to complete the accumulation that took other Planet-level experts much longer to achieve?
Could it really be because of talent?
Yet, from ancient times to the present, not even Hong or Lei Shen possessed such terrifying potential.
If it wasn't talent, then what could the reason be?
Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Yang Wu's growth speed was too bizarre, and everyone believed that Yang Wu must be strange and certainly possessed an unknown secret...
Thinking of this, one expert after another developed a strong desire—if they could, they really wanted to dissect Yang Wu to find the truth.
However, out of consideration for Yang Wu's strength and his status as a Patrol Envoy, no one dared to be truly that reckless.
The world looked very calm, but in reality, there were undercurrents surging.
When some experts from the Lightning Martial Hall received this news, they were so angry they cursed out loud.
They cursed the Limit Martial Hall for having such good luck, to have unexpectedly obtained another heaven-defying genius.
No, the current Yang Wu was no longer just a genius; he was a "Councillor Expert" who had gone beyond a War God.
As for the Hall Master of the Lightning Martial Hall, Lei Shen, he had long since begun closed-door training after receiving the Force Exertion concepts provided by Yang Wu.
After receiving this news, Lei Shen's mindset underwent some changes, and he was no longer in the right state for cultivation, so he ended his seclusion and contacted Hong, who had released the news.
"Even if Yang Wu obtained Dragon Blood, he shouldn't have become a Planet-level expert so quickly. Brother Hong, do you know the secret behind this?" Lei Shen asked directly.
"Other Patrol Envoys from the Limit Martial Hall have also asked me this question before," Hong said with a smile. "I'll be blunt: he obtained some Mu Ya Crystals."
"Mu Ya Crystals?" Lei Shen couldn't help but be shocked. "Are those the Mu Ya Crystals that can increase one's strength?"
"Correct!" Hong replied.
"How could such a treasure be obtained so easily?" Lei Shen was speechless.
"Haha, as the saying goes, treasures belong to those who are fated to have them," Hong laughed.
"You also know... the Ancient Civilization Ruins that we once entered aren't places where the strongest get everything; it depends on luck and fate!"
"I'm bald, so I just look like a monk, but you aren't bald, yet you talk like a monk!" Lei Shen's mouth twitched.
"Ahem, I'll ask a presumptuous question: does Yang Wu still have any Mu Ya Crystals in his hands?"
"None left," Hong revealed a faint smile. "I already told you, when it comes to treasures, one must rely on fate."
"Just like how I obtained quite a few treasures before, many of which were of no use to me, but I used those treasures to trade for the Mu Ya Crystals from Yang Wu."
"These Mu Ya Crystals were originally obtained by Yang Wu through luck and fate, but they ended up in my hands; clearly, the Mu Ya Crystals were destined for me."
"..." Lei Shen didn't want to speak; he just wanted to be quiet.
Jiangnan Base City, Limit Martial Hall Headquarters.
After finishing his cultivation, Zhuge Tao logged into the Limit Home.
"Yang Wu is already an expert beyond a War God?" Zhuge Tao looked at the pinned news, his eyes wide, revealing an expression of disbelief.
If Yang Wu had become a War God, it would have been within Zhuge Tao's expectations.
But to say that Yang Wu had already surpassed a War God was something he could not comprehend.
After all, surpassing a War God was too difficult; currently, there were only about 50 such experts on Earth, and Earth had a population of over 7 billion.
One could not produce a single expert beyond a War God out of 100 million people, which showed just how terrifying the difficulty was.
"Then my previous investment..." Zhuge Tao stood up abruptly, his heartbeat accelerating, revealing a hint of excitement.
With Yang Wu having such talent and strength, even he, one of the four giants of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Hall, couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
And before Yang Wu's rise, he had provided help when it was needed most, which was clearly more effective than adding flowers to a brocade now.
"The existence of someone beyond a War God—even if he just casually tosses out a small benefit, it would be enough for me to benefit from for a lifetime," Zhuge Tao began to fantasize about the future.
"Not to mention Yang Wu helping me become a Planet-level expert, even if he just lets me be a President in the future, I would be content."
He did not know that in the future, Yang Wu would not only help him become a Planet-level expert but would also lead him to become an Immortal!
If his talent wasn't bad, even becoming a Venerable was possible, after all, he was Yang Wu's Angel Investor!
Yang Wu and Luo Feng had known each other for a long time, and later both joined the Fire Hammer Squad, though Yang Wu had already left the squad.
But even now, legends of Yang Wu still circulated within the Fire Hammer Squad.
In September, most of the Fire Hammer Squad was resting, while Luo Feng continued to hone his skills in the Wilderness Area.
However, today, Luo Feng suddenly heard a piece of news.
"This..." Luo Feng looked at the news before him, dumbfounded.
Back when Yang Wu left the Fire Hammer Squad, it seemed he was going to join the War God Reserve Camp.
At that time, Luo Feng had thought that once Yang Wu came out of the War God Reserve Camp, he would at least be a War God.
Thinking back to that unremarkable "Yang-ge" from back then, and then Yang Wu becoming a War God in the future, Luo Feng had felt a bit silent at the time.
He had even considered whether he should expose his talent as a Spiritual Master.
Although this might cause some trouble, it would allow him to join the War God Reserve Camp, and then he would be able to catch up to Yang Wu's pace.
But before Luo Feng was mentally prepared, Yang Wu had suddenly surpassed a War God and become a Councillor Expert; he couldn't imagine how Yang Wu had done it.
Moreover, although he had never seen the strength of a Councillor, he was very clear about the might of someone beyond a War God and just how difficult it was to reach that level.
And now, Yang Wu had come from behind... and was still very young, which made Luo Feng feel deeply emotional.
Luo Feng had known Yang Wu for many years; he had seen what Yang Wu looked like after failing the Quasi-Warrior assessment time and time again...
After all, Yang Wu's talent had clearly been worse than his back then, but now, he couldn't understand it at all.
He knew Yang Wu's past talent very well, which was why he couldn't figure out what had happened to Yang Wu recently.
After all, going from a new warrior to surpassing a War God in just a few months made Yang Wu absolutely the fastest expert in history to become a Councillor.
Even if Luo Feng wouldn't easily admit defeat, he couldn't help but admire Yang Wu's current achievements from the bottom of his heart.
He even had a feeling that he might be witnessing a living legend in the future.
"Compared to the current Yang-ge, I am indeed a bit weak, and I must work harder," Luo Feng said with a firm gaze.
"I may be weak now, but I still have time to improve."
"I have now set my first goal, and that is to surpass Yang-ge!"
From a young age, Luo Feng had never admitted defeat.
Even when facing the incredibly powerful and peerless Star-level "Golden Horned Beast" in the original work, he had never bowed his head.
