Swallowing the Stars: Increase your comprehension by one point every day.

She doesn't aspire to surpass Gao Xiang, but only to keep up with his pace.

"Hmph, this guy actually cleared the first level of the Heavenly Bridge in less than a month, he's a complete freak!"

The succubus Sicily, with her twin ponytails, purple hair, and purple-gold clothing, and a curvaceous figure, leaned on her hips, clearly displeased.

Sicily is an extremely powerful illusionist. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very talented. She ranked 3rd in this genius battle and was able to enter the Primordial Secret Realm.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting! Let's let Gao Xiang take the lead for now!"

Qiao, a burly silver-haired man, laughed heartily. Upon learning that Gao Xiang had passed the first level of the Tongtian Bridge, he felt neither anger nor envy, but rather excitement.

Joe was an unkempt teenager with a scruffy beard, making him look like a middle-aged man.

But his talent is definitely not much less than that of Kazan and Sicily.

The final battle of the genius tournament limited the space and also restricted Joe's performance.

If a life-or-death struggle were to break out, Joe was 100% certain he could kill Kazan and Sicily.

However, Qiao had complete respect for Gao Xiang's abilities.

He once fought against Gao Xiang.

That time, Gao Xiang defeated him decisively.

Joe was completely convinced of his defeat and had no complaints.

"I'll go and experience the power of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele first."

Joe clenched his large fists, his bulging arm muscles bulging like an egg about to explode, giving him a very sculpted look.

Gao Xiang's consciousness had just returned to his private little building in Chaos City when he received an email.

Blood Rose King: "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on passing the first level of the Heavenly Bridge so soon after arriving in Chaos City. Come to my residence now, and we'll have a good get-together. My address is XXX."

Blood Rose King?

Gao Xiang was a little taken aback.

When did he get a senior sister?

However, he soon guessed that this senior sister must be one of the two disciples of his teacher, the King of Qianwu Kingdom, who had been granted the title of king.

One of the disciples who were granted the title of king was the Dragon Whale King, and the other should be the Blood Rose King.

Gao Xiang had just finished a bridge crossing exercise and now needed to summarize his experience. So, whether sooner or later, he decided to visit his senior sister first.

A blood-red castle, with an overall style somewhat resembling European Gothic architecture, appeared before Gao Xiang.

This castle and the residence of the second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King, occupy the same area, both being large buildings with a length and width of 1 kilometer.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother!"

As soon as Gao Xiang entered the Crimson Castle, he saw his second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King.

Two beautiful women stood beside the Dragon Whale King.

One woman looked like a married woman, while the other looked like a young girl.

Both men were dressed in blood-red battle armor, as if they had burst forth from the blood, and their bodies were filled with a murderous aura.

"Junior Brother, I am your Seventh Senior Sister, Blood Rose King." At this moment, a beautiful woman walked over and smiled at Gao Xiang.

"Greetings, Seventh Senior Sister."

Gao Xiang finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was his seventh senior sister.

"Greetings, Junior Uncle."

At this moment, the girl who was still standing in place bowed and greeted Gao Xiang.

"Junior brother, let me introduce you. This is my disciple," said Blood Rose King.

"Greetings, junior disciple." Gao Xiang carefully examined the junior disciple in front of him.

"Junior brother, aren't you envious? Blood Rose King's disciples are all King-level experts." Dragon Whale King pulled Gao Xiang by the shoulder and walked towards a table.

Before long, Gao Xiang had been settled in and was sitting at a table.

The four men sat facing each other at separate tables. Rare fruits and fine wines were laid out on the tables.

"Junior brother, your nephew and I just returned from the secret realm. We had a good haul. This is a gift for you."

Blood Rose King Gang and her disciple emerged from a dangerous secret realm, both having gained a great deal, and were therefore in high spirits.

After returning to Chaos City, she learned that she had gained a junior brother, so she immediately held a banquet to entertain Gao Xiang.

The second senior brother, Dragon Whale King, took advantage of Gao Xiang and was also invited by Blood Rose King.

A special metal box appeared in front of the Blood Rose King.

The box floated up and flew towards Gao Xiang, landing on his desk shortly afterward.

Gao Xiang gently opened the metal box and found a black fruit inside that was only the size of a thumb.

The fruit emitted a black mist and resembled the face of a tormented demon.

As the metal box flew, the Dragon Whale King's gaze followed its movements.

The moment the metal box was opened, the Dragon Whale King's lips twitched. "Blood Rose King, you have quite the grand gesture. I admire you, I admire you."

Compared to the gift that Blood Rose King gave as a greeting, Dragon Whale King's greeting gift was simply child's play.

"This is my only surviving junior brother, so of course I have to cherish him." Blood Rose King looked at Gao Xiang with doting eyes.

As a powerful being who has lived for countless eons, all her relatives and friends have died.

Now her only family members are her teacher, the King of Qianwu Kingdom, her second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King, her disciple, the Blood-Clad King, and her newly acquainted junior brother, Gao Xiang.

The Dragon Whale King swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on the black fruit. "This is a Devil Fruit, extremely rare, appearing only in secret realms of the universe. Eating it can double your genetic level."

Double the genetic level!

All humans are born with a single gene level.

Even the incredibly talented Manka Starman and Huangshen Starman, whose bloodlines are powerful and who become Domain Lord-level experts upon reaching adulthood, still have a genetic level that is twice as high.

Therefore, the value of a Devil Fruit is more than a billion times that of a Domain Lord-level bloodline potion.

Compared to the Domain Lord-level Star-Eating Grass that the Dragon Whale King gave away, the latter was completely insignificant, making the Dragon Whale King seem extremely stingy.

Gao Xiang knew this, but he would never speak ill of his second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King.

After presenting the greeting gift, Queen Blood Rose invited the group to drink fine wine and eat rare fruits as they pleased.

This hospitality, just for the fine wine alone, might cost several million units of mixed currency.

But Blood Rose Queen didn't care, not only because she met her junior brother, but also because her gains this time were really good.

Blood-Clad King is Gao Xiang's junior apprentice, so there's no need for him to send a gift to Gao Xiang.

Logically, Gao Xiang should have given this junior apprentice a gift upon meeting him.

But Gao Xiang knew that he was just a tiny guy at the cosmic level, and the other party wouldn't even look at the gift he gave as a greeting, so there was no need to go through all that trouble.

As the banquet was about to end, the Dragon Whale King sent Gao Xiang an email: "Junior Brother, this is the secret technique I sent you, 'Dragon Whale King's Basic Guide to Spatial Acupuncture.' It contains detailed analyses of my 108 spatial diagrams. The best results will come from studying it in conjunction with my 108 spatial diagrams."

Ever since he saw the gifts that Blood Rose King had given him, Dragon Whale King felt that his gifts were too meager.

He used to be a very generous person.

But since dying in the secret realm, he, like his teacher, has become penniless.
