Chapter 1189 The First Prince of Gaia

Chunhe Wang did not stay long; she had important matters to attend to on Red Luo Star.

Before they left, Chunhe Wang also urged the four of them to leave quickly:

"You encountered the Blazing Wind Demon Lord, so you're lucky. The Blazing Wind Demon Lord was seriously injured. However, there is another injured demon lord on Red Luo Star, whose injuries are less severe. If you had encountered him, you probably wouldn't have had much of a chance of survival."

"The Gentle Breeze Mark has a separate 24-hour cooldown for each person. I cannot grant you the Gentle Breeze Mark again, so you should return to headquarters as soon as possible. If you wander around and encounter another Demon Lord, you might not last until I arrive."

All four nodded in agreement.

The four of them have earned enough merit points this time, and they will be training at Gaia headquarters for the next period of time.

After confirming that the four people's initial arrival area on Red Luo Star was "Black Edge Mountain", Chunhe Wang gently waved her hand, instantly traversing numerous spatial distances and sending the four people back to the Black Edge Mountain area.

Looking at the somewhat familiar scenery of Black Peak Mountain, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In this area, their "Hydrogate Return Permission" has been activated, allowing them to return at any time.

"Lord Chunhe is so kind to everyone, and she's very gentle with us juniors who are at the intermediate level," Jinjiao said with emotion.

"Lord Chunhe is at headquarters, a goddess-level powerhouse. Her admirers could line up around Gaia Star, but few dare to pursue her," Feng Shenxiu boasted.

Anmie, who was usually quiet, fell into reverie: "If I could be promoted to a king... could I pursue Lady Chunhe? She should still be single, right..."

“Of course I’m single… Goodness, Anmie, you’re such a closet pervert, aren’t you? You’re the Jockey Ancestor, aren’t you?” Feng Shenxiu quickly distanced himself from Anmie, “If you cause trouble in the future, don’t expose your brother.”

Anmie tugged at Bai Pu: "Lord Chunhe's Gaia Mark number... could you...?"

Immediately, Jinjiao and Feng Shenxiu's ears perked up.

"If I give it to you now, would you dare to chase after it?" Bai Pu retorted.

“It’s definitely not possible now. I need to be promoted to King before I’ll have the courage to pursue it,” Anmie said.

"Okay, then we'll give her Gaia mark number after you're promoted to king."

Bai Pu made an empty promise.

Anmie was overjoyed: "Thank you!"

Bai Pu sighed helplessly: "There are only one or two hundred people at headquarters who have been granted the title of King. They should all be in contact with each other. Now that you've been promoted to King, you can directly ask Lord Chunhe for his contact information. Why would you need to ask me for that?"

Jinjiao laughed heartily: "Yes, that's right. Let's not think about that too much now, let's focus on our cultivation. If we don't become Prince Gaia, we won't even be able to stay at headquarters."

The four agreed to go back to the Origin World to cultivate together, then activate the Nexus Gate's return permission and chose to return to the Gaia Headquarters Star Sector.

[Shocking! Two Demon Lords Die at the Hands of Genius Camp Prodigies] (Hot, Hot, Hot)
A post marked with three burning flames caught the attention of many members of the genius camp.

"Two demon lords? We only picked up one..."

Bai Pu opened the post with some doubt.

Posted by:
"This year's Genius Camp is truly full of hidden talents, with astonishing victories achieved on both the border battlefields. It is reported that on Black Star in the Black Horn Star Region, the top genius of the Genius Camp, 'Iceberg Goddess' Jin Yue, successfully killed the 'Crystal Thorn Demon Lord' of the demon race. Coincidentally, on Red Luo Star in the Ancient Zhuo Star Region, the four geniuses of the Genius Camp also joined forces to kill the 'Blazing Beacon Demon Lord' of the demon race."

"Killing a demon lord will earn you 10,000 merit points on the border battlefield. However, since both demon lords were injured, some of the merit points will be deducted. But all five of you will definitely make a huge profit."

"Let me reiterate, the poster is absolutely not encouraging anyone to challenge the Demon Lord. Currently, only a very small number of members of the Genius Camp have the strength to challenge a Level 17, Rank 3 Domain Lord, while the Demon Lord is at least a Level 18, Rank 2 Domain Lord, whose strength is overwhelmingly superior. This post is merely a rational discussion about how these five prodigies managed to kill two Demon Lords..."

Many people left comments below.

Most people expressed disbelief, after all, those who could come to the Genius Camp were all geniuses who had experienced many life-and-death trials, and they certainly knew how powerful the Demon Lord was.

That's a powerhouse comparable to a "True Person" in the human race.

For example, the Demon Lord Zhuofeng is a level 19, second-grade domain lord, whose strength is estimated to be about the same as that of "Master Boxuan".

Bai Pu scrolled down and found someone had leaked information:

"These battle records are highly exaggerated. Crystal Thorn Demon Lord was severely injured by Lord 'Silent Extinction King' and then killed by Immersed Moon. Blazing Beacon Demon Lord fared even worse. He was surrounded and killed by two Kings, 'Spring Harmony King' and 'West Wind King', but escaped and was eventually killed by the four members of the Ash Horn Group."

A rational member commented: "To be able to kill a heavily injured demon lord while he was down, his strength is quite formidable. The demon lord's true priority is probably at least three points higher, and considering the suppression from the town's judgment, it's even more terrifying."

However, this rational voice was quickly drowned out.

"It depends on how badly the Demon Lord is injured. If he escaped by burning his life force with all his might and is already on the verge of death, he can't even mobilize his energy, so what's the point of talking about priority suppression?"

"It's just picking up kills, I could do that too."

Some people have also made comparisons.

"Compared like this, the Goddess of the Moon is indeed more powerful. She took care of the injured Demon Lord all by herself, while Jinjiao and the others had to work together as a group of four."

"Of course, the Goddess of the Moon is the number one expert in the Genius Camp."

Bai Pu glanced at the post, remembered the name Jin Yue, then closed the post and went to the community's bounty claim area.

Soon, a notification from the spirit realm's will arrived:
【Dear Genius Camp member Steelheart, the bounty missions you have completed on Red Luo Star this time are:】

[S-Rank Bounty (Hidden): Kill the Blazing Flame Demon Lord. Since this was a team kill and the target was already severely wounded, you have received 2000 Border Battlefield Merit Points based on your combat contribution.]

[Level A Bounty: Assassinate the Demon General of Yanwei. Since this was a team kill, you have received 100 Border Battlefield Merit Points based on your contribution.]

[Tier B Bounty (Anonymous): Kill 5 Demon Generals. Based on your combat contribution, you have earned 90 Border Battlefield Merit Points.]

[C-Rank Bounty (Anonymous): Destroy 4 Demon Race Mines on Red Luo Star. You have earned 40 Border Battlefield Merit Points.]

"A total of... 2230 Border Battlefield Merit Points. That's much higher than I expected, mainly because the merit points for killing the Demon Lord are distributed based on combat contribution, not equally."

It is estimated that Feng Shenxiu and the others will only receive 1000 merit points each.

Bai Pu planned to make amends when the opportunity arose, since Feng Shenxiu and the others had given him a quarter of the key that Zhuofeng Demon Lord had dropped.

After exiting the Gaia Reality Network, Bai Pu returned to the student dormitory on Traveler Star T9-28.

The battle with the demon lord had taken a heavy toll on his mental and physical strength, so Bai Pu lay on the bed to rest. He really wanted to soak in some spiritual liquid to recover from his physical and mental exhaustion.

The spiritual liquid used by evolved individuals is different from the diluted spiritual liquid used by awakened individuals; it is a concentrated version with a completely different intensity of spiritual energy particles.

Unfortunately, the treatment for E-level geniuses does not include soaking in spirit liquid; they can't buy it even if they want to with spirit crystals.

Planet T9-28 is like a giant guesthouse; you have money but nowhere to spend it.

The accommodation area for the genius camp students is under closed management, and it is against the rules for students to order takeout through the Gaia Reality Network.

If you want better treatment and enjoyment, and more convenient cultivation conditions, then work hard to improve your evaluation level in the Genius Camp.

Unable to soak in the spiritual liquid, Bai Pu could only fall asleep immediately, using deep sleep to eliminate physical and mental fatigue.

Gaia Ring, T9-02, King Saber.

"Master, Steelheart has returned from the Red Luo Star battlefield." The alluring assistant, Qianmeng, reported softly while massaging Sword Tide King's forehead.

Sword Tide King hummed in agreement.

Qianmeng continued, "Gangxin gained 2230 Border Battlefield Merit Points on this trip."

Sword Tide King suddenly opened his eyes and sat up: "So many?"

Qianmeng had prepared in advance and made a list, which contained the records left by Bai Pu when he registered the bounty in the Genius Camp community.

"Killing the Demon Lord Zhuofeng actually earned 2000 merit points... This shows that the Demon Lord Zhuofeng still had combat power at that time."

Sword Tide King stroked his chin thoughtfully, "The fact that the four of them could kill the Blazing Flame Demon Lord together is truly remarkable, and it wasn't just a matter of picking up the scraps. The other three only received 1000 merit points each, which means that Steel Heart played a leading role in the whole affair."

Qianmeng said, "Master, should we revise Gangxin's evaluation? His performance is more than just that of an E-level genius, and his treatment..."

Sword Tide King raised his hand to stop Qianmeng and said calmly, "If Gangxin were humble and obedient, and focused on breaking through to the Domain Lord level, he would surely have a bright future. But he has been distracted by multiple levels, which clearly shows that he is arrogant and unruly! Especially at this time, we should not give him too much praise, otherwise we will only harm him!"

Just then, a message suddenly appeared on Qianmeng's personal wristwatch.

She looked down and immediately her face lit up with joy.

"Congratulations, Master! Jin Yue has returned from the battlefield of Black Star and has broken through to the tenth star of the Ice Polar Constellation! She has become the first member of the Genius Camp to possess the qualifications of a Prince of Gaia!"

"What does joy mean to me?"

Sword Tide King's expression didn't change much. He said calmly, "Jin Yue's early advancement made True Person Qian Zi quite proud. She made a bet with True Person Mo Shu and won two thousand merit points."

Qianmeng said, "Master, this news must be a big shock to Jinjiao and Gangxin, right? Especially Gangxin, it might change his mind and make him specialize in one area."

Sword Tide King nodded: "That makes sense. Qianmeng, go and see Gangxin. If he suddenly realizes his mistakes, there's still hope; but if he insists on going his own way, no one can help him!"

……

Gaia Ring, T9-28 Traveler's Star.

Dormitory area for members of the E-level genius camp.

Bai Pu withdrew the Myriad Manifestations Grand Formation.

Ash Horn, Annihilation, and Feng Shenxiu also opened their eyes.

"As expected, without the distraction of battle this time, I gained a lot of insights into the laws of nature, especially the bond between light and shadow, which is even more profound."

Anmie's face showed delight, which proved that he had indeed made a good harvest.

"Indeed, light and shadow are not opposites, but rather mutually reinforcing and restraining. The brighter the light, the clearer the shadow when it illuminates all things."

Feng Shenxiu nodded. "I can't wait to go to the Origin World to verify my understanding. This time, I should be able to reach the eighth star."

Jinjiao scratched his head: "I can't feel any obvious progress... Although there has been some improvement, it's still a long way from the tenth star."

"The tenth star is a crucial bottleneck. Breaking through the tenth star means gaining the status of a first-rank official and being promoted to Prince Gaia. Of course, it's not that simple. It requires a lot of accumulation before you can succeed," Bai Pu said.

“Well, I plan to go to the Origin World to study and accumulate knowledge. What about you guys, do you want to come along?” Jinjiao asked.

They all readily agreed.

Suddenly, the road in the sky flickered, and a figure formed from spirit particles flew out, quickly solidified, and landed in front of everyone.

The newcomer was a beautiful woman dressed in a purple office lady outfit. Her blazer and high heels accentuated her long, slender legs and gave her a charming air.

"Steel Heart, I am the secretary under Sword Tide King, my name is Qianmeng."

The beautiful office lady in purple immediately introduced herself and showed her ID card.

"Hello, Ms. Qianmeng." Since she is the secretary of the Sword Tide King, she should not be underestimated.

Qianmeng said, "Gangxin, do you know that Jinyue, a member of the Genius Camp, has broken through to the tenth star of the Ice Polar Constellation and officially advanced to the position of Prince Gaia?"

"Huh?"*4
Not only was Bai Pu surprised, but the other three were also astonished.

Especially Jinjiao, who looked astonished as if he had been struck by lightning.

Qianmeng said calmly, "Jinyue was the first genius to break through to the tenth star and advance to the Gaia Prince. It's conceivable that more and more geniuses will break through to the tenth star in the future! They all specialize in one area and work hard to achieve such a growth rate. Gangxin, are you still clinging to your Prism Path and planning to go all the way?"

At this moment, Anmie, Feng Shenxiu, and Jinjiao were all digesting the astonishing news brought by Secretary Qianmeng, and no one stepped forward to interrupt.

Bai Pu let out a soft sigh: "Miss Qianmeng, Jinyue is Jinyue, and I am me. The promotion of members of the Genius Camp is based on whether they can break through to the tenth star within a year, not on which rank they break through, right?"

“If you remain stubborn, Lord Sword Tide King will be completely disappointed in you. You have no idea what you have given up.”

Qianmeng made one last attempt, "Gangxin, why not first reach a certain height and then expand laterally? With your talent, you can completely switch to specializing in one extreme and reach the level of a second-grade domain lord, and then slowly expand into other law constellations to advance to the first grade."

After a pause, Qianmeng continued, "After advancing to the Domain Lord level, you will be qualified to join the wars of many 'Great Worlds.' The opportunities in the Great Worlds are far greater than those on small spiritual energy planets like Red Luo Star, and are more conducive to your growth."

Bai Pu lowered his head, his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, his brows relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Miss Qianmeng, please tell Lord Sword Tide King that I have received your kind offer, and I will seriously consider it and make the corresponding attempt."
