After everything stabilized, Bai Yue began to engage in a series of battles within the Slaughter Arena.
He used opponents set up through the virtual universe network to continuously increase his combat experience.
After becoming Star Level, his actual combat experience was minimal, almost nonexistent.
On Earth, only he and the Kinkaku Giant Beast had reached Star Level. His fight with the Kinkaku Giant Beast was over in an instant. As for those who had only reached Planet Level, he had no desire to fight them.
The virtual universe's Slaughter Arena was an excellent place to accumulate combat experience and practice secret techniques. The only drawback was its cost!
In the Slaughter Arena, the higher the level of the opponent you set, the higher their law comprehension, and the more powerful the secret technique practiced, the more expensive it became.
Additionally, there were costs for battle environments and simulating other races, making it a rapid drain on finances.
However, in the universe, there were plenty of people who enjoyed spending money to improve themselves, especially at higher levels. Progress became incredibly difficult, so being able to pay for advancement was a worthwhile investment for many.
Because the Kinkaku Giant Beast's clone had a much stronger comprehension of laws than his Earth clone, the Kinkaku Giant Beast's clone was mostly responsible for law comprehension.
Once he had a stable channel for outputting resources, Ji Ning's clone joined the Gan Wu Dojo. With his Universe Level ninth-tier strength, he underwent an assessment and became an instructor at this Gan Wu Dojo.
At the Gan Wu Dojo, those at Universe Level and above could be called Gan Wu practitioners and could embroider a Golden Leaf on their clothes as a symbol.
Universe Level: one Golden Leaf.
Domain Lord Level: two Golden Leaves.
World Lord Level: three Golden Leaves.
Of course, this required registering at the Gan Wu Dojo Headquarters in the virtual universe. The Qiu Long Star branch could not directly grant him the title.
Virtual Universe, Gan Wu Continent, Gan Wu Dojo Headquarters.
As the headquarters of the Gan Wu Dojo in the virtual universe, it occupied an astonishingly large area, with a single side measuring nearly ninety thousand kilometers. The tall main gate was over 1000 meters high, and the four characters "Gan Wu Dojo" on the gate shone brilliantly.
Entering the Gan Wu Dojo, the flow of people was dense, with various strangely shaped humanoid creatures coming and going. There were ugly dog-people and pig-people, as well as tall ape-people, and even beautiful humans resembling the elves of Earth's fantasies. Most of them had the Gan Wu practitioner's symbol, the Golden Leaf, embroidered on their clothes.
Ji Ning had been notified to attend the Gan Wu practitioner title awarding ceremony. The Gan Wu Dojo uniformly awarded the title of Gan Wu practitioner to the strong individuals who joined the dojo at regular intervals.
Following the attendant's guidance, Ji Ning arrived at a massive plaza.
The plaza was already crowded with many people. In the Gan Wu Universe Country, the Gan Wu Dojo was the sole martial arts organization. Other powerful individuals could take disciples, but they could not establish organizations like martial arts schools.
This led to a large influx of powerful individuals into the Gan Wu Dojo. The entire Gan Wu Universe Country had hundreds of millions of star systems, so even a routine awarding ceremony would have tens of thousands of Universe Level experts.
In the vast plaza, nearly ten thousand Universe Level experts were either chatting in groups or standing alone at the edges, exuding an aura of "do not approach."
Since everyone was Universe Level, and most were looking to form connections, Ji Ning quickly integrated into a small circle.
"Brother Ji Ning, since you just joined the Gan Wu Dojo, you might not know, but some ordinary inheritances within the dojo can be bought with money. However, to purchase core inheritances, you need to reach a certain contribution level," said a tall man, two meters eighty in height, with a burly build and a face as if carved by knives.
This was Kamon, a friend Ji Ning had just made. He was a Barbarian Race warrior, Universe Level first-tier, and according to him, over ten thousand years old! His personality was not as stern as his appearance suggested; instead, he was exceptionally warm. When Ji Ning had first entered, Kamon was the first to greet him.
Unlike Ji Ning, Kamon had joined the Gan Wu Dojo at Planet Level and had only recently broken through to Universe Level, so he knew more about the Gan Wu Dojo's affairs.
"Kamon, don't show off. Brother Ji Ning is only a little over a thousand years old and has already surpassed us. He'll definitely be noticed by those big figures and taken as a disciple for training. How could he be like us, doing missions to earn contributions?" another person, Kalchi, said with a laugh. His build was also very burly, with long blond hair and a full beard. His appearance bore some resemblance to the white people on Earth, and he coincidentally looked like Thor from Marvel, even using a large hammer as his weapon.
During their brief conversation, Ji Ning's youthful aura was impossible to hide, so the topic of age came up. He casually mentioned being over a thousand years old, but he never imagined that this number, which he considered quite high, was merely the infancy stage for these people.
Before he arrived, the youngest in this circle was over 6,000 years old. Therefore, everyone was intentionally or unintentionally trying to befriend him, believing he could reach Domain Lord and even World Lord Level.
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm still young, and there are many things I need guidance on from all of you, my elder brothers. Please don't hesitate to teach me," Ji Ning replied humbly to everyone.
"Quiet!"
As everyone was still talking, a grand voice boomed from the high platform at the front of the plaza, accompanied by a majestic aura that pressed down on the entire area.
The crowd in the plaza instantly fell silent, looking up at the high platform. Over a dozen figures flickered into existence, each exuding an imposing presence.
The young man who had just spoken had a leaf-like mark on his forehead, but no one dared to underestimate him; he might have lived longer than their respective civilizations.
Anyone with common sense knew the meaning of the mark on his forehead. It signified acknowledgment by the Wood Origin Law, indicating he was an absolute powerhouse even among World Lords.
Nodding slightly, this World Lord, acknowledged by the Wood Origin Law, appeared satisfied with the respectful attitude of the crowd.
He turned to a red-haired middle-aged man in the center of the group and bowed, saying, "Marquis Yin Ying, it's time to begin."
Upon receiving the acknowledgment, Marquis Yin Ying stepped forward.
Below the high platform, everyone who met Marquis Yin Ying's gaze felt as if a divine being had descended from the divine kingdom to the mortal world. He stood alone, majestic like a colossal peak, and simply by standing there, he exuded an unshakeable, indestructible aura, making people's minds seem to cease functioning, leaving only the image of that world-piercing figure in their hearts.
"I, Marquis Yin Ying, acting on the orders of Lord King Gan Yang, will preside over this ceremony to award you all the title of Gan Wu practitioner!"
As his voice fell, he waved his hand, and countless beams of light descended from the sky, instantly attaching themselves to the clothes of the people in the plaza.
When the light dissipated, everyone looked at each other. A golden leaf-shaped mark had appeared on their clothes, signifying that they were now recognized Gan Wu practitioners by the Gan Wu Dojo.
"I hope you all cultivate diligently, do not betray Lord of the Country's nurturing, and become strong individuals capable of standing on your own as soon as possible!" After speaking, Marquis Yin Ying nodded to the others on the high platform and disappeared.
"We bid Marquis Yin Ying farewell." The others on the high platform all bowed in farewell.
The crowd in the plaza followed suit, also bowing.
