This news was indeed the first to be obtained by Huaxia Nation, but it had long since spread across the globe. The other forces had already formed all kinds of ideas about Yang Wu.
Quite a few people, however, remained skeptical.
After all, Yang Wu's rate of improvement was simply too fast—so fast that it was utterly inconceivable!
Compared with the time it took other Planet-level fighters to grow, Yang Wu's performance was far too exaggerated.
But why could Yang Wu defy common sense, explosively increase his strength over the course of just a few months, and accomplish the accumulation that other Planet-level fighters needed far longer to achieve?
Could it really be because of talent?
But throughout history, not even Hong and Lei Shen had possessed such terrifying potential.
If it wasn't talent, then what was the reason?
So no matter how one looked at it, Yang Wu's rate of growth was too strange. Everyone believed that there had to be something unusual about him, some unknown secret...
Thinking of this, one powerful figure after another developed an intense desire—if they could, they truly wanted to dissect Yang Wu and search for the truth.
However, considering Yang Wu's strength and his identity as a Patrol Envoy, no one actually dared to be that reckless.
The world appeared calm, but beneath the surface, undercurrents were surging.
When some of the powerful figures from the Lightning Martial Hall received the news, they were so furious that they cursed loudly.
They cursed the Limit Martial Hall for being unbelievably lucky and actually acquiring yet another heaven-defying genius.
No, Yang Wu was no longer merely a genius. He was also a 'Councillor Expert' who had surpassed the War God level.
As for the Lightning Martial Hall's Hall Master, Lei Shen, he had already begun secluded cultivation after receiving the Force Exertion theory provided by Yang Wu.
After receiving this news, Lei Shen's state of mind changed somewhat. He was no longer suited 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 fighter so quickly. Brother Hong, do you know the secret behind it?" Lei Shen asked directly.
"The other Patrol Envoys of the Limit Martial Hall have asked me the same question." Hong smiled. "To put it simply, he obtained some Mu Ya Crystals."
"Mu Ya Crystals?" Lei Shen was also shocked. "The Mu Ya Crystals that can increase one's strength?"
"That's right!" Hong replied.
"How could such a treasure be obtained so easily?" Lei Shen looked speechless.
"Haha, as the saying goes, treasures belong to those who are fated to obtain them." Hong laughed heartily.
"You know... the Ancient Civilization Ruins we once entered weren't places where whoever had the greatest strength could necessarily obtain the treasures. Luck and fate mattered too!"
"I'm bald and merely look like a monk, but you aren't bald, yet you talk like one!" The corner of Lei Shen's mouth twitched.
"Ahem, may I ask one question? Does Yang Wu still have any Mu Ya Crystals?"
"No." A smile appeared on Hong's face. "I told you long ago that treasures depend on fate."
"It's like how I obtained quite a few treasures before. Many of them were useless to me, but I exchanged those treasures with Yang Wu for Mu Ya Crystals."
"These Mu Ya Crystals were originally obtained by Yang Wu through luck and fate, but in the end, they fell into my hands. Clearly, the Mu Ya Crystals and I were fated to meet."
"..." Lei Shen had nothing to say. He only wanted to sit quietly.
Jiangnan Base City's Limit Martial Hall Headquarters.
After cultivating for a while, Zhuge Tao logged into Limit Home.
"Yang Wu has already become a Beyond War God?" Zhuge Tao stared at the pinned message, his eyes wide and his face filled with disbelief.
If Yang Wu had become a War God, that would have been within Zhuge Tao's expectations.
But if Yang Wu had already surpassed the War God level, then he simply couldn't understand it.
After all, surpassing the War God level was incredibly difficult. There were only a little over fifty Beyond War God experts on Earth, while Earth had more than seven billion people.
There wasn't even one Beyond War God for every hundred million people. This showed just how terrifyingly difficult it was.
"Then my previous investment..." Zhuge Tao abruptly stood up. His heart began to race, and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.
With Yang Wu's talent and strength, even he, one of the four major leaders of the Jiangnan Base City branch of the Limit Martial Hall, couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Moreover, before Yang Wu rose to prominence, he had essentially provided timely aid. Clearly, that would have a far greater effect than adding flowers to brocade now.
"For an existence beyond the War God level, even a tiny benefit casually squeezed from his hands would be enough to sustain me for the rest of my life." Zhuge Tao began imagining his future.
"Forget about Yang Wu helping me become a Planet-level fighter. Even if he let me become a President in the future, I'd be satisfied."
He had no idea that in the future, Yang Wu would not only help him become a Planet-level fighter, but would even make him an Immortal!
If not for his decent talent, he might even have become a Venerable. After all, he was Yang Wu's Angel Investor!
Yang Wu and Luo Feng had known each other for a long time. Later, they had both joined the Fire Hammer Squad, though Yang Wu had since left the Fire Hammer Squad.
Even so, Yang Wu's legend still lived on within the Fire Hammer Squad.
In September, most of the Fire Hammer Squad was taking a break, while Luo Feng continued tempering himself in the Wilderness Area.
However, Luo Feng suddenly heard some news today.
"This..." Luo Feng stared blankly at the message before him.
Back then, when Yang Wu had left the Fire Hammer Squad, it seemed that he had been planning to join the War God Reserve Camp.
At that time, Luo Feng had thought that once Yang Wu returned from the War God Reserve Camp, he would probably at least be a War God.
Thinking of the ordinary 'Yang-ge' from back then and Yang Wu, who would become a War God in the future, Luo Feng had already fallen silent.
He had even wondered whether he should reveal his talent as a Spiritual Master.
Although that might cause some trouble, it would allow him to join the War God Reserve Camp as well. By then, he might be able to catch up with Yang Wu.
But before Luo Feng was mentally prepared, Yang Wu had suddenly surpassed the War God level and become a Councillor Expert. Luo Feng couldn't imagine how Yang Wu had done it.
Moreover, although he had never witnessed the strength of a Councillor, he knew very well how formidable a Beyond War God was and how difficult it was to become one.
And now Yang Wu had overtaken him... while still being quite young at that. This left Luo Feng filled with endless emotion.
Luo Feng had known Yang Wu for many years. He had seen Yang Wu fail again and again after taking the Quasi-Warrior Assessment...
After all, Yang Wu's talent had clearly been inferior to his before, but now he couldn't understand Yang Wu at all.
He knew Yang Wu's past talent very well, which was precisely why he couldn't figure out what had happened to Yang Wu recently.
After all, from a newly awakened Warrior to surpassing the War God level in just a few months, Yang Wu was absolutely the fastest Councillor to appear in history.
Although Luo Feng never surrendered easily, 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 one day witness a living legend.
"Compared with Yang-ge now, I'm indeed somewhat weak. I have to work harder." Luo Feng's gaze was resolute.
"I'm weak now, but I still have time to improve."
"Now I'll set my first goal: surpassing Yang-ge!"
From childhood to adulthood, Luo Feng had never admitted defeat.
Even when facing the incomparably powerful, invincible Star-level 'Golden Horned Beast' in the original story, he had never lowered his head.
