I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 266: 265 Reunion of the Five-Person Group!

Translator: 549690339

“Have you heard? There’s a man who has slain over four hundred from the Demon Clan, over half of which were Controllers, that’s definitely more than three hundred bodies…”

“What? That’s impossible, did he fight for a team?!!”

“No, he’s a lone wolf, called Du Gang, all his teammates have returned home and are not in the abyss…”

“Du Gang’s teammates have returned!”

Someone who had reliable information said, “I have a friend that saw his team, they’re all back…”

As Du Gang made his move at the exchange point, his name permanently resounded throughout the first level of the abyss.

Pretty much everyone who had returned to the surface and entered the communication zone knew about this figure.

Even some people from the second and third levels of the abyss had heard of the name Du Gang.

Of course, most of those who paid attention to this name were Rank One God Spirits and a few of the second and third tribulation ranks.

This is because some suspect Du Gang’s strength was comparable to second or even third tribulation God Spirit Level.

“You’re already back so soon?!”

Du Gang looked at Long Aotian and the others, quite surprised.

At the moment, standing in front of him were not only Long Aotian and his team, but also his earlier classmates, Yao Zijie, You Sheng and others were all there.

Long Aotian chuckled, “Of course, I am who? I am Long Aotian, the Chosen Son. The inheritance that takes ordinary geniuses over a year to grasp, I managed to complete it in less than a year!”

“Hmph!”

Little Hawk King sneered, showily remarking, “I came out two days earlier than you, so what’s that make me? The father of the Chosen Son?”

“Get lost!”

Long Aotian cursed under his breath, but unusually, he didn’t start a fight.

These two were a pair of old foes and felt that meeting after not seeing each other for so long without a small skirmish seemed inappropriate.

Du Gang ignored them, turning instead to Big Dragon and Qiao Bing and asked, “And you? What’s your current God’s Strength Technology level?”

Big Dragon sighed regretfully, “Our family brought me a sage method, although I’ve mastered 1% of it, my highest God’s Strength is only seventy-five Naer!”

Qiao Bing nodded in agreement, saying, “I’m about the same. I can release a maximum of seventy-five Naer of God’s Strength!”

Their strength had already reached the limit and mostly they could only increase their power by learning Supreme Techniques or improving the progress of the Sage Technique. Otherwise, even increasing their God’s Strength wouldn’t improve their abilities.

“That’s alright. It’s much better than before!” Du Gang said trying to comfort them.

However, the two didn’t seem pleased. They had arrived a while before Du Gang, and after hearing Long Aotian asking everyone about their capabilities, they only then discovered that almost everyone present had reached the Controller level! Except for them.

Hearing Du Gang’s question, Long Aotian instantly turned his head, raising an eyebrow and asked with interest, “Du Gang, what about you? What’s your current strength? Have you reached the Controller level?!!”

“Yes, Du Gang. When we aren’t here, do you struggle being in the wilderness on your own?!”

Little Hawk King also revealed a cunning smile, “If you are not strong enough, how about doing reconnaissance? I’ll be the captain?!!”

Du Gang couldn’t be bothered with them and turned his gaze to Yao Zijie and others, asking, “Are you prepared to enter the abyss?”

“Yes!”

Being gentlemanly, Yao Zijie didn’t regard Du Gang with a cold eye because of their small disagreement and said smiling, “Having received the inheritance, it is time to come to the abyss…”

“There are essences here in the abyss to absorb, it’s much stronger than cultivating for our families at the source…”

Hearing this, Du Gang paused, raised an eyebrow and asked, “How much God’s Strength do you have?”

Yao Zijie coughed and laughingly replied, “I am okay, just have two hundred Naer of God’s Strength…”

Two hundred Naer!

Du Gang’s mouth twitched. This fellow stayed with his family all along meaning these two hundred Naer of God’s Strength he had were all accumulated from the source.

When converted to Divine Crystals, his Yao Family had invested two million in just Yao Zijie, and this was solely to increase his God’s Strength’s upper limit!

“Long Aotian and the others should be higher, right?!”

Yao Zijie only had good talent and did not have enough backing, so he had to settle for the top basic package the family provided for cultivation.

On the contrast, Long Aotian and Little Hawk King were different. Both of them were the sons of the Great Powers. Their backgrounds were far from ordinary.

Long Aotian shrugged, “Just by fighting wild beasts in the first level of the abyss and eating their essence can increase the upper limit of God’s Strength by six thousand Naer. My family has a lot of money, but that doesn’t mean we should waste it…”

He laughed, “I don’t have much either, just five hundred Naer of God’s Strength!”

Yao Zijie grimaced. This guy, always bragging!

Du Gang nodded, turned his head to look at the hooked-nose, and asked, “Ying Ba, what about you?”

Little Hawk King chuckled, “I am the same, the family only gave me some real divine weapons and life-saving things, the upper limit of God’s Strength is only five hundred Naer!”

“…”

Hearing them bragging about their wealth, both Big Dragon and Qiao Bing were speechless.

Their trip home just showed their faces in front of the younger generation in their respective families.

Within the family, both of them were considered among the best of their generation, and their standing within the family was someone other people of the same generation would look up to.

In the same way, they received a lot of reverence and affection from within the family.

But once they arrived here, they were beaten down by these people.

However, they were both somewhat excited.

It meant that they had successfully entered a higher circle.

“Du Gang, what about you? Have you reached the Controller level yet?”

When they left, Du Gang only had seventy or so Naer of God’s Strength. In one year, without his team, it’s unlikely he even reached one hundred Naer.

Although Little Hawk King didn’t really want to take over as captain, he did plan to ridicule Du Gang.

“Ehh~~!!”

At this moment, You Sheng, who had been unnoticeable until now, interjected, “Ying Ba, you came here without hearing about the rumors in the communication zone?!!”

“Rumors?”

Little Hawk King paused, asking in confusion, “What rumors?”

He and Long Aotian had just arrived today and didn’t know much.

Seeing this, You Sheng continued, “I heard, there’s a lone wolf in the first level of the abyss who single-handedly slaughtered more than three hundred Controllers…”

“You need to understand, these Controllers were formed into teams of five, but they were still exterminated by that lone wanderer…”

Listening to these words, Little Hawk King’s mouth gradually widened, “You mean?!!”

He could barely get his words out, turning his head to look at Du Gang, his eyes wide open.

Seeing this, Du Gang chuckled and slightly lifted his head.

“That’s right, it’s me!”

What?!!

At this moment, upon hearing this, everyone else stared at Du Gang in shock, looking utterly flabbergasted.

“You killed over three hundred Controllers?!!”

Long Aotian’s eyes bulged and his veins popped, looking utterly incredulous.

He had only recently become a Controller, and had initially planned to show off his new status in front of Du Gang. But no sooner had he arrived here than he heard that this guy had slain over three hundred Controllers alone?!!

Du Gang’s mouth curved up, showing a hint of regret, and said, “Well, this happened just these recent days, I was busy before, and had taken a break from the Human-Demon War for over a month, otherwise, I might have slain even more Controllers!”

Boasting about oneself? I can do that too!

Listening to these pompous words, Little Hawk King was speechless for a while. He wanted to sneer a couple of times, but couldn’t find a good counterpoint, so he could only suffer in silence.

“Then how much Divine Power do you have now?!”

The first to ask this was still Long Aotian. He originally thought his five hundred Naer of Divine Power made him exceptional, but now, it seemed that Du Gang might be higher!

After all, if he wanted to slay Controllers, he had to unleash an attack of at least a hundred Naer of Divine Power.

The Demon Clan’s Controllers were typically in teams of five. This meant that even if the enemy were to stand still and let him kill, he would need five hundred Naer of Divine Power…

The others also held their breath, their eyes intently fixed on Du Gang, awaiting his answer.

Du Gang gave a soft smile and casually replied, “Not much, just over six thousand.”

What?!!

At this moment, everyone widened their eyes, looking at him in shock and disbelief.

Everyone’s mouth was wide open to its limit. Forget an egg, even an apple could fit in.

“Did you max out the creeps in the first layer of the abyss?!”

Long Aotian asked in surprise.

Du Gang nodded, “That’s right. I maxed out the creeps in the first layer of the abyss a few days ago. If it wasn’t for waiting for you guys, I would have gone to the second layer of the abyss by now!”

Everyone was rendered speechless again.

Only the God Spirits who had passed the Second or Third Tribulations or the top rank God Spirits who had passed the First Tribulation usually ventured into the second layer of the abyss.

Otherwise, the weaker First Tribulation God Spirits didn’t qualify to go there.

The power limit of God Spirits who had passed the Second Tribulation wasn’t simply double that of Rank One God Spirits.

It also included the power limit of First Tribulation God Spirits on top of that.

This meant that if a God Spirit who controlled a Mystic Level Art was promoted to the Second Tribulation, they would have a fifty Naer Divine Power limit, plus another hundred Naer of Divine Power from doubling fifty.

The calculation formula is quite simple. If we take the Divine Power limit of a First Tribulation God Spirit as X, the Divine Power limit for a Second Tribulation God Spirit is: (1X + 2X) = 3X.

This implies that the Divine Power that a Second Tribulation God Spirit can manifest is three times that of a First Tribulation God Spirit.

And for a Third Tribulation God Spirit, the Divine Power limit is: (1X + 2X + 3X) = 6X.

In the same vein, the Divine Power limit of a Fourth Tribulation God Spirit is 10X.

For a Fifth Tribulation God Spirit, it is 15X. And so on until, for a Ninth Tribulation God Spirit, the Divine Power limit is 45X, which means that the limit of Divine Power that a Ninth Tribulation God Spirit can manifest is forty-five times that of a First Tribulation God Spirit!

This calculation just concerns the exertion of Divine Power. But in fact, after each Tribulation, it’s not only Divine Power that improves but also Divine Thought and Divinity.

In the early stages of becoming a God Spirit, people don’t make much use of Divinity and Divine Thought, primarily relying on Divine Power for battles. But in the later stages, Divinity and Divine Thought are crucial!

“Damn, are you actually this strong?”

At this moment, Sun Wufan who had been enjoying the drama, couldn’t help but ask, “Du Gang, does your team still need members? Count me in!”

Upon hearing this, the others were also eager to join Du Gang’s team.

Hearing their words, Da Zhuang and Qiao Bing immediately felt a twinge of anxiety inside, sort of inflamed.

The two of them feared this very moment, worrying that Du Gang would kick them out.

In fact, they knew themselves to be a bit of a drag, but they were also a bit unwilling…

Du Gang didn’t hesitate at all, shaking his head directly, “I already have a team. Although Da Zhuang and Qiao Bing’s current strength is limited, they supported us when the three of us were weak, and we also have a pact. At the very least, we must see that their investments are rewarded!”

Having said that, Du Gang turned to Da Zhuang and Qiao Bing and said, “You should see our strength by now. As time passes, our gap in strength will only widen until we are incompatible….”

“I stayed behind this time to fulfill the duty we agreed upon, and to give you two a high return….”

Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang and Qiao Bing looked at each other and said, “We’ve already gained enough. Due to your relationship with us, we were given the opportunity to learn the aristocratic arts of our family clan, which we originally didn’t have the qualifications to learn….”

Du Gang shook his head, “That’s something from your family clan, and it has nothing to do with us three….”

He smiled and said, “Let’s do this. Our friendship shall remain unchanged. If you have any future needs, feel free to ask, as long as the request doesn’t go against morality or betray your family clan, we’ll try our best to fulfill it!”

Hearing this, Long Aotian and Little Hawk King also stopped messing around. They followed, “Yes, if you two encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to find us…”

Da Zhuang and Qiao Bing were immediately overjoyed.

This time they returned home, their family clan’s wise elder actually analyzed Du Gang’s relationship value with them.

The analysis was divided into four categories, A (Jia), B (Yi), C (Bing) and D (Ding).

D represents parting ways without any compensation from Du Gang while they receive some benefits from their family due to their relationship with the three.

C represents compensation in the form of Divine Crystals from Du Gang for their troubles. This is better than getting nothing and implies that they still have some standing in the hearts of the three, allowing them to ask for favors in the future, if needed.

B represents Du Gang continuing to go with them into the abyss, leveling the first- or second-level monsters completely.

A, the highest tier, represents an “at-your-service” promise made to them by Du Gang and his team.

Now, Du Gang had led the pack in fulfilling the highest expectation. This meant that when they returned to their clan, they would be granted several promotions, becoming more valued by the clan.

But what had them more excited was yet to come. Du Gang said with a smile, “Also, given your strength compared to ours, I guess it’s unlikely that you’ll max out on tier three essence. So, besides that promise, the three of us will also help you two max out on Big Dragon Essence!”
