Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1035 The God of War: Speed ​​and Preparation (4K)

Ten hours later, as night fell over Qingxu Cave, Gao Yang sat up from his bed.

His mental fortitude is now extremely strong, and his recovery efficiency during sleep is astonishingly fast.

The fatigue accumulated from more than 200 days of continuous practice was completely swept away after ten hours of deep sleep.

The web interface unfolded before his eyes. Gao Yang looked at Yuliano's profile picture, which had remained unchanged for five days, but his heart was not stirred at all.

He then accessed his professional skills database.

With two consecutive upgrades, plus the unused skill points from the previous upgrade, he now has three legendary skill attribute points.

Upon reaching level 28, he also gained a second legendary attribute point.

He had already used this attribute point on his Strength attribute, bringing both his Strength and Constitution attributes to 39 points.

What he needs to do now is unlock a new legendary ability.

Just in time, after absorbing the power of the god-slaying, his agility attribute also reached 34 points, which met the requirements for unlocking the unique war god class and all the related feats.

"Network notification: Please confirm whether you wish to unlock the Legendary Class Fetish: God of War Speed? Please note: This operation requires 1 Legendary Class Skill Selection Opportunity and 2 Legendary Skill Points!"

Looking at the notification from the integrated network, Gao Yang didn't hesitate for long and directly confirmed it with his consciousness.

The next instant, as Gao Yang's consciousness was confirmed, a new notification from the integrated network refreshed:

"Network notification: The legendary class specialization: God of War Speed ​​has been added to your personal panel!"

"God of War's Extreme Speed:"
Type: Legendary Class Feats

Requirements: Unique War God level of 20 or above, Agility of 34 or above
Specialty Description:

Only by transcending the extreme speed of time and space can one govern the myriad phenomena of all realms!
Feat Benefit:

The only War God possessing this legendary feat gains a 1.25x increase to their base Dexterity (conceptually). Furthermore, every attack by the only War God with this feat automatically applies a [Flash Strike] effect based on their final Dexterity value.

After sensing for a moment with his eyes closed, Gao Yang slowly exhaled.

The "God of War's Speed" skill has one more effect than the previous two related specializations, which is exactly what Gao Yang wanted.

Each attack can be followed by a flash attack effect, which means that after Gao Yang, every attack can be performed by flashing to the target's side and attacking the target from the best angle.

The key point is that the Flash Strike effect has no cooldown time, and every attack can be followed by a Flash Strike, which will greatly change his fighting style.

No, it's not his fighting style, but his dominance in battle; distance is no longer relevant to him.

With his Flash Strike combined with his Super Armor Slash, which now has an 83% chance of triggering, he is practically invincible!

After digesting the information for a moment, Gao Yang appeared at the edge of Mingguang Pool in a flash.

Looking at the giant Kun from the Star Realm still sleeping in the Bright Light Pool, Gao Yang reached in and patted its big head.

Bang bang bang!
A subtle vibration instantly spread throughout the plump Kunkun's round body, and its two small, black-and-white eyes suddenly opened.

woo~~~
A long, resonant whale cry echoed throughout the Mingguang Hall, and endless starlight gushed forth from the Mingguang Pool like a fountain, sprinkling every corner of the hall.

The next instant, with a "splash", the fat-headed Kunkun rushed out of the Bright Light Pool. Its huge round head seemed to be pressing down on Gao Yang's outstretched palm, and joyful whale calls rang out one after another.

Gao Yang patted his head gently, then looked at him and said, "You've been cultivating for so long, have you made any progress?"

The chubby Kun Kun bobbed its big head up and down, while its round, short, and thick tail swept left and right.

Gao Yang placed his hand on the fat Kun Kun's body, and the next moment they disappeared from Mingguang Hall and appeared outside Qingxu Hall.

Gao Yang looked at the chubby Kun Kun in front of him and said softly, "Show me how big you are now."

The chubby Kun let out a long, mournful cry, followed by endless starlight bursting forth from its body. Amidst the dazzling starlight, its body grew and expanded at an alarming rate.

In just three to five seconds, it had grown from thirty meters to 100,000 meters long, and the entire sky trembled slightly beneath it.

As the sword flashed, Gao Yang looked down at the chubby Kun Kun, who had revealed its true form as a giant astral beast, and nodded.

Its length of 100 kilometers, though not as large as those planet-sized astral behemoths, is still a terrifying creature that is difficult to contend with in the prime material world.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer oppression emanating from such a size is enough to destroy most of the man-made structures in the material world.

This time, when heading to the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild's headquarters, Gao Yang didn't plan to team up with anyone else; bringing Fatty Kun Kun along would be enough.

After all, this is his private matter and it is not appropriate for others to interfere, especially given the high level of danger involved.

However, some preparations still need to be made before heading to the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild headquarters.

Having experienced many different dimensions and frequently teetering on the edge of life and death, Gao Yang understands the preciousness of life more than anyone else.

Naturally, I wouldn't act like a hothead, rushing in to my death in a fit of passion; that would be pointless.

He wanted to plan carefully before acting, and when he did act, it was with thunderous force, sweeping away everything in its path.

Kunkeloch Crystal Wall System, Salisbury Plane.

This plane is one of the largest prime material planes in this crystal system, and it is also the headquarters of the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild, a multi-dimensional merchant guild.

Here, goblins and gnomes are the only two supreme races.

In the Salisbury plane, at the very center of the original continent, lies the largest and most prosperous city in this plane, the City of Paradise.

Countless goblins and gnomes live here, and countless wealthy people have settled here or own vast properties. After all, in this paradise city, as long as you have enough wealth, this is paradise.

Eating, drinking, and having fun—each of these is a top-tier enjoyment in the universe, and the ways and activities of these pleasures even exceed the comprehension limits of most intelligent life forms.

There's an old saying in Paradise City that's been passed down for thousands of years: In Paradise City, as long as you can afford the price, even having dinner with a real goddess is not a problem.

Above the city of paradise, there floats a magnificent, golden island with a diameter of over ten kilometers.

This is the Heart of Wealth, a place where only the true high-ranking members and big shots of the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild reside.

The Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild has a total of twenty executive directors, including two executive vice directors and one executive chairman. This constitutes the highest authority of the Heart of Wealth and is also the core of power controlling the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild.

At this moment, in the northwest corner of the Heart of Wealth, stood a square complex of buildings whose exterior radiated a golden glow. All the goblins and dwarves who passed by here wore solemn expressions and their eyes revealed fear.

This complex is called the Carlo Cage, a prison built by the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild at great expense using materials devoid of magic and spirit. It is a place specifically for imprisoning those who have caused great losses to the Merchant Guild or important figures.

Once inside Carlo's Cage, all abilities will be sealed, and even the power of the Internet will be unable to be displayed here.

Footsteps, neither too light nor too heavy, sounded outside the room. Iuliano, his face gaunt and no longer as elegant as before, leaned against the wall, his eyelids twitching slightly before slowly closing again.

Click~
With a crisp click of a mechanism, the tightly closed metal door was pulled open from the outside, and a goblin and a dwarf walked in.

Edron stopped two meters away from Iuliano, looking down at him with a smile, and said with the arrogance and reserve of a victor, "Iuliano, we meet again."

Upon hearing the sound, Iuliano looked up at Edron, then closed his eyes weakly.

In Carlo's cage, there was no distinction between day and night, and no change in time could be discerned; it was always in this magnificent, golden state.

Here, one cannot sleep, cannot find peace, cannot cultivate oneself; even a moment of quiet is a luxury. For all those imprisoned here, this is an unspeakable torment.

Juliano's hand, hidden in his dirty sleeve, slowly stroked the dense, crescent-shaped wounds that had penetrated deep into his flesh beneath his ribs. A dry voice escaped from his cracked lips:

"Hehe, it's been more than three months, and you still haven't reached an agreement with Mr. Gao Yang?"

You're utterly useless, Edron.

"Iuliano, you are always so arrogant."

Edron crossed his arms and looked at him with a cold smile, saying, "Sorry, my cooperation with your Mr. Gao Yang was already reached half a month ago."

This time I'm only here to tell you that those life essence crystals you regard as your trump card, your life-saving treasures, you should keep them safe. However…

Edron paused deliberately before continuing, "President Gordon pleaded with the board of directors, saying that if you are willing to hand over the Life Essence Crystal, the board will spare your life."

From now on, you can follow Chairman Gordon and reside permanently in Sigil.

"Hehe...hahaha, hehehe."

After Edron finished speaking, a dry, hoarse laugh, tinged with the cunning unique to goblins, echoed in the corner of the cell.

Iuliano adjusted his posture and it took him a while to stop laughing.

He looked up at Edron, whose face was ashen, and rebuked him without any restraint: "A piece of trash is a piece of trash. Even your lies are so clumsy. Edron, I don't think you're a goblin at all."

Your behavior is an insult to the goblin bloodline. I suspect your mother had an affair with a kobold, which is why you, a scumbag who looks like a goblin, were born.

Or are you saying that your lineage is actually just a bunch of barking dog-headed people?

Iuliano's insults were very vulgar because goblins and kobolds look extremely similar in the multiverse. Therefore, calling a goblin a kobold is like calling a Chinese person a Japanese person—extremely dirty and vile, overflowing with malice.

Before this incident, Iuliano would never have confronted Edron, whose grandfather was an executive director, so directly.

But this has already happened, so he and his lineage have developed an irreconcilable conflict with the Carlo goblin lineage, which is basically a life-or-death struggle.

He is still alive, but only because things haven't reached the final stage. In addition, he still holds 19 Life Essence Crystals.

Therefore, Iuliano naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to indulge his craving for words.

Edron's thin chest heaved violently, his breathing so rapid it hissed as he glared at Juliano through gritted teeth, his clenched fists bulging with veins.

But his feet seemed rooted to the spot, and he didn't move forward even a single step.

“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Iuliano glanced at Edron, who was almost out of control, and stabbed him in the strait: “You’re not even as good as a kobold. A kobold will fight back when it’s humiliated, at least it will bark a few times.”

And you, you didn't even dare to utter a sound, hehehehe, you inferior kobold!

Boom!
"Uh"

Juliano's smile vanished abruptly. Edron, gripping his neck, slammed him against the golden wall, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, and roared like a madman:
"Hand over the crystallized essence of life!"

Ignoring the pain in his body, Iuliano continued to laugh intermittently, saying, "Hehehe, cough cough cough, if you have the guts, kill me. If you kill me, I might look at you with more respect; otherwise, you're just a lowly dog-headed man."

Edron's fingers tightened, and Iuliano's face gradually turned bluish-purple, but his eyes still held a mocking look.

Just as Iuliano was about to lose consciousness, Edron slammed his body onto the hard, cold floor.

Iuliano coughed violently a few times, followed by laughter: "Cough cough. Hehehe, you inferior kobold, the worst of the worst."

He laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

He knew that this good-for-nothing wouldn't dare kill him; if he died, all the life essence crystals and other treasures in his backpack would disappear.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the old fogies on the board.

At the same time, he also understood that this good-for-nothing Edron had not reached a cooperation agreement with Gao Yang, or rather, that a legendary powerhouse as proud and powerful as Lord Gao Yang would not deign to cooperate with this good-for-nothing who came to reap the benefits.

'Perhaps, Lord Gao Yang doesn't even consider the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild worthy of his attention. I wonder how Matthew is doing.'

Iuliano lay on the floor, looking at Edron's contorted face, and sighed inwardly.

Even so, his posture made it seem as if he were the one standing in the room.

“I told you, you’re a piece of trash. If the Chamber of Commerce doesn’t want to lose face, releasing me and continuing to contact Mr. Gao Yang is the wisest choice.”

Iuliano didn't open his eyes, but all three people in the room knew that he was speaking to the dwarf who hadn't uttered a word or even moved a step since the door opened.

“I will report this to Director Carlo. For now, I will trouble you to continue waiting here.” A gentle, calm voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, rang out. After speaking, the dwarf turned and walked out of the cell.

Edron glared angrily at Iuliano and then walked out.

Bang!
The metal door slammed shut, leaving Iuliano alone in the cell once again.

He didn't pay attention, but silently counted his breaths. When the number reached a certain point, he slowly reached his hand under his ribs, his nails slowly and firmly digging into his flesh.

When he removed his fingers, a new crescent-shaped wound, deep into his flesh, was revealed under his ribs.

"Six more, and we'll have a hundred." A whisper, almost inaudible, echoed in the cell.
