Oracle Marquis

Wang Cheng studied the contents of these sacrificial towers while learning the Universal Language. In the blink of an eye, three full days had passed.

Including Wang Cheng, the Humanity of the Universe gathered here were basically all Stellar level, so a mere three days meant nothing to them.

However, this time was enough for everyone to view all the sacrificial towers once. Naturally, everyone had made their choice!

"Oracle Marquis!" Wang Cheng arrived beneath a sacrificial tower whose aura ranked among the best. The one who left this tower was an immortal of the Marquis level named "Oracle Marquis."

Besides Wang Cheng, there were seven other people beneath this sacrificial tower.

The inheritances left by Marquis level immortals were naturally coveted by everyone, but few dared to choose them. This was because these inheritances required trials, and the stronger the immortal who left the trial, the more monstrous the trial would be, and the greater the possibility of failure.

Under such circumstances, more people chose the inheritances of weaker immortals than those of powerful ones. Only those who were strong and extremely confident would choose the inheritances of powerful immortals.

And those who dared to choose the inheritance of a Marquis level immortal were even rarer.

The reason Wang Cheng dared to choose was naturally because he considered himself quite a genius!

Several hours passed after Wang Cheng chose his sacrificial tower.

Suddenly, a hurricane swept across the massive altar, and soon, a colossal Bull Head Phantom appeared in the center of the altar.

"Little ones, it seems you've all made your choices!" the Bull Head Phantom slowly spoke. "Next, I will open the sacrificial tower inheritances for you. I wish you good luck!"

Wang Cheng looked at the giant Bull Head Phantom with some nervousness. Although it was just a phantom, it still exerted immense pressure on him. Most importantly, Wang Cheng was a fake. If he were discovered, it would be terrible!

Fortunately, whether the phantom didn't notice the extra Stellar level cultivator or the Opportunity Grasping System was reliable enough, the giant Bull Head Phantom paid no attention to Wang Cheng at all. Shortly after its voice faded--

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A series of buzzing sounds emanated from each sacrificial tower.

Soon, a light gate appeared above each sacrificial tower, including the one near Wang Cheng.

Seeing the light gate appear, the seven people besides Wang Cheng eagerly rushed in.

Could entering first give an advantage? Wang Cheng wondered. He then hesitated no longer and swiftly charged into the light gate.

Whoosh!

After a blinding flash of light, Wang Cheng found himself in a vast plaza surrounded by darkness.

Besides Wang Cheng, the other seven who had entered first stood in different directions, warily observing their surroundings.

Suddenly, the entire vast plaza lit up, and then, a long-haired man wearing a purple robe with a slightly pale complexion appeared in mid-air.

The man's figure was somewhat ethereal, but his gaze was deep and brilliant. With just a glance, he made everyone, including Wang Cheng, feel a sense of unease.

"Lord Oracle Marquis!" At this moment, a purple-haired human with silver patterns on his face suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh? You actually recognize the Oracle Marquis?" The figure looked at the purple-haired human who had just spoken with some surprise. He then said, "However, I am not the Oracle Marquis. I am merely a wisp of his soul, stabilized here by a special method within this sacrificial tower. Of course, you can also call me Oracle Marquis!"

"Greetings, Lord Oracle Marquis!"

"Senior Oracle Marquis!"

"..."

Everyone present greeted him repeatedly. Wang Cheng, blending in, naturally paid his respects as well. He had already learned most of the Universal Language, so greeting them was no problem.

"Let's dispense with the pleasantries. You are here for the Oracle Marquis's inheritance, and I must say, you have great courage!" the Oracle Marquis chuckled. He continued, "However, since you are here, you shall undergo the trial!"

Whoosh!

As the Oracle Marquis's words fell, four massive arenas quickly rose from the vast plaza.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All eight people, including Wang Cheng, felt their bodies enveloped by a force, and then they were each transported to one of the four arenas.

With eight people and four arenas, naturally, two people were assigned to each arena!

Each of the eight people looked at the person on the same arena as them, and they vaguely guessed that they would have to fight next!

"You eight will fight each other. Show me your true skills!" the Oracle Marquis said calmly. "Don't be afraid of losing. As long as your performance is good, you will have a chance even if you lose. Of course, if you feel you are outmatched, surrender immediately, and I will save you. Otherwise, if you die, you can only blame yourself!"

Can we kill each other? It seems the inheritance world of Ganwu Universe Country isn't that peaceful! Wang Cheng was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood. To Ganwu Universe Country, some Stellar level cultivators were probably nothing. Even if they were a bit talented, their deaths wouldn't matter.

Wang Cheng's opponent was a young man wearing Black Short Clothes and Shorts, with a few Blue Scales on his face.

While Wang Cheng was thinking, the young man smiled and said, "Friend, I am from the Qixuan Starfield of Tianyun Universe Country. My name is Meteor Star. What is your name?"

"I am Wang Cheng!" Wang Cheng replied. Looking at the young man's somewhat sunny smile, he felt a sudden liking for him. This person was quite polite.

"So, it's Big Brother Wang Cheng. Then I'll have to offend you next!" the young man named Meteor Star continued to smile, but Wang Cheng suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Without any hesitation, Wang Cheng threw a punch backward.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed. Behind Wang Cheng, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared and was sent flying backward.

This guy! Wang Cheng turned to look. The young man he had been conversing with moments ago had already turned into an illusion and disappeared. Without a doubt, the person he had just attacked was the other party's true main body.

So despicable! Wang Cheng, who had almost been tricked, felt a surge of anger. He didn't hesitate either. He unleashed his Lightning Domain and charged forward rapidly.

At this moment, the young man, who hadn't recovered from Wang Cheng's previous punch, saw a flash of Lightning Light. Then, his head exploded.

Bang!

The young man's body collapsed onto the arena stage, and Wang Cheng's figure reappeared.

Wang Cheng wasn't surprised that he had instantly killed this young man. Both were at the First-order Stellar level, but his gene level was thirty times that of an Ordinary Life. In other words, his base strength alone was thirty times that of the young man.

Under the same level, Wang Cheng, who had grasped a trace of law, feared no one, let alone this mere Stellar level cultivator who had appeared out of nowhere!

"Fortunately, my strength is enough, otherwise I would have been finished for sure this time!" Wang Cheng looked at the young man's corpse and secretly decided that in future fights, he would act rather than talk.

Although Wang Cheng had fought a bunch of monsters on Earth, monsters only knew how to fight head-on or flee. How could they have the complex minds of humans? In his first fight, he had encountered a cunning and treacherous opponent. He didn't know if it was luck or bad luck.

"Hmm? What is this?" Wang Cheng's gaze suddenly fell on the young man's hands. There, a pair of claws, faintly emitting electric light, were embedded on his hands.

"Force Weapon!"

Wang Cheng instantly knew what these were. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and quickly removed the two claws from the opponent's hands, wearing them on his own hands respectively.

Wang Cheng poured Force into the pair of claws. Instantly, a small portion of the intricate patterns on them lit up, and a pair of even larger claw shadows appeared out of thin air.

"The remaining intricate patterns..."

Wang Cheng looked at the remaining intricate patterns on the claws. He vaguely felt that these unlit patterns seemed somewhat familiar.

"You're quite lucky to have stumbled upon a pair of Fifth-order Force Weapons for free!" A calm voice suddenly sounded in Wang Cheng's ear.

"Fifth-order Force Weapons?" Wang Cheng was slightly startled, but then he reacted.

"Oracle Marquis Senior!" Wang Cheng quickly got up and bowed.

"Indeed, it's First-order Stellar level!" The Oracle Marquis looked at Wang Cheng with a strange expression. After a moment of thought, he asked, "You are human, aren't you?"

"Senior is joking. Of course, I am human!" Wang Cheng immediately knew what the Oracle Marquis was getting at.

"I watched your fight. Your physical strength is far greater than a normal First-order Stellar level cultivator. This is not something a normal human can achieve, nor is it something even a true Oracle Marquis can do!" the Oracle Marquis said calmly.

"Ah? Even Oracle Marquis Senior can't do it?" Wang Cheng showed a surprised expression at the right time.

"Of course!" The Oracle Marquis nodded and then asked, "Do you know how much stronger you are than a normal Stellar level cultivator?"

"In terms of pure physical strength, it should be thirty times!" Wang Cheng hid nothing and told the truth. In fact, Wang Cheng was not afraid of exposing himself now, as he was only a consciousness projection and would return soon.

This matter, in reality, was not a big deal!

"Thirty times!!" The Oracle Marquis gasped, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.

"When I was still at the Apprentice level, I accidentally obtained a Colorful Strange Fruit. After eating it, I became like this." Wang Cheng explained. The Oracle Marquis basically didn't doubt him.

After all, even some Peak Races did not have a gene level exceeding ten times. Thirty times was impossible unless it was an accident, and definitely not something a small cultivator at the Stellar level could achieve!

In the Oracle Marquis's opinion, even if Wang Cheng was hiding something, it was probably close to the truth!

"Such a heaven-defying treasure was eaten by you!" The Oracle Marquis shook his head. He was sure that if the fruit were still around, even the Ganwu Country Lord would attach great importance to it, and the Immortals would go crazy for it!

Unfortunately, it had already been eaten!

"Your foundation is so strong, and you've mastered the Lightning Domain. You should be a Peerless Genius. Why did you come here?" the Oracle Marquis asked again.

"I didn't have time to show my strength outside!" Wang Cheng replied "honestly."

"You little fellow, you probably came from a remote place. If you had shown your strength earlier, you wouldn't need to come here for secret manuals. Many Immortals would have rushed to take you as their disciple!" The Oracle Marquis shook his head.

"You have two choices now. First, I'll send you out now. Second, you can stay, but you'll still need to undergo trials! Of course, given your talent, the trials you'll undergo will be top-tier. If you succeed, you'll obtain all the secret manuals left by the Oracle Marquis!"

"I choose the second!" Wang Cheng said without hesitation.

"Oh? You have some courage!" The Oracle Marquis smiled, then disappeared before Wang Cheng. When he reappeared, he was already above the vast plaza.

Seeing that he had passed, Wang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't intended to show so much strength, but the person named Meteor Star had attacked too quickly, forcing Wang Cheng to display more power to deal with it.

Fortunately, the result was good!

Not only did the Oracle Marquis not dwell on the matter, but he also gave him a top-tier trial!

This turn of events could only be described as a huge win!
