Chapter 245 - - 243 The Wang Chong in Other People’s Eyes_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The correct answer that Luo Cang and others had excluded, Wang Chong, was leading five Void Refinement Realm warriors from the Supervisory Academy, along with Dan Cong, whose arms and legs had been properly healed, waiting outside of Capital City for the supervisory envoys returning from various places.

With the addition of people like Zheng Tingwen, the power under Duge’s command became increasingly formidable.

Zheng Tingwen and the others rested at Medical Immortal Sect for nearly three days.

During this period.

Duge was not idle.

He, along with Chen Da, traveled repeatedly to various branches of the Supervisory Academy near Danyang City, continuing to promote the stock issuance of Seven Star Gate.

He also used the resources of the Supervisory Academy to conquer several small cultivation sects comparable in strength to Sky Mist Valley, such as Sky Peak Sect, Nine Heavens Cave, and Autumn Water Valley, bringing them under his command.

Then.

He had the disciples of Sky Mist Valley, who were already familiar with the operation model of Seven Star Gate, sent to these sects to manage their public offering and fundraising plans.

…

Wang Chong, being in the Void Refinement Realm, could easily enhance their powers. Those smaller sects flocked to him, each one wishing they could become an ornament and tie themselves to him.

Wang Chong, a major figure in the Void Refinement Realm, was a figure they looked up to. A few scraps falling from his hands were enough to keep them striving for a long time.

After all, those prestigious and large sects wouldn’t even give them a glance on any ordinary day.

Overtly supported by the Supervisory Academy while Wang Chong covertly helped them improve their powers, coupled with a mature experience template and the image of timely tax payments…

The sects promoted by Wang Chong raised funds at an incredibly rapid rate.

Large sums of silver flowed into these sects and were spent even faster on various projects.

Duge had to spend the wealth he had acquired; he was one to plunder others, so why would he keep the money waiting to be plundered by someone else?

Only money in circulation was truly money, and could improve everyone’s quality of life.

Once the economy driven by a borrowing model began to roll, everyone is tied to his ship, even the nation wouldn’t let him fall. If he were to collapse, it would be a disaster like a volcanic eruption…

The wealth that swept in continued to push Wang Chong’s attributes, growing exponentially.

With Wang Chong’s current physical resilience and recovery speed, wounds inflicted by others healed almost at a millisecond pace. Before blood could even flow from a slash, the wound would have healed.

It was even more exaggerated than the recovery ability of a liquid metal robot.

Of course.

With such a large territory, it was inevitable that Alien Warriors were hidden among it.

But at this point, Duge could hardly be bothered with them.

The disciples of the Supervisory Academy and Sky Mist Valley, along with the Sect Leaders of various sects, they were all Duge’s eyes.

They could hold off without issues, but as soon as they dared to make a move, his network of clues would start running, and within minutes, they would be driven to extinction…

…

Before Danyang City’s model had been widely promoted.

The numerous Alien Warriors were only making conjectures about the situation based on their rankings. When Wang Chong swept through right to their doorsteps, everyone was somewhat bewildered.

So much so that they didn’t even know how to respond!

Economics? Trade? Management?

His key words were too obvious, weren’t they?

Was this him giving up after becoming number one?

An economy that expanded so wildly could collapse within minutes if a large force intervened…

So you can really use the wealth of the populace to hold the nation hostage?

But to the Alien Warriors, what’s the wealth of the ordinary people? Even if the entire world perished, they would not care…

If they bring down your economy, your attributes will plummet. How would you continue to play then?

Thinking of Swift Battle, how could that be possible?

So.

The Alien Warriors within Duge’s territory watched Wang Chong’s antics like watching a clown, happily seeing him perform. They even invested their own wealth into it, further fueling Duge’s attributes.

They were just waiting for someone who couldn’t hold back to enact the ‘Drawing Firewood at the Bottom of Pot’ strategy. The more glorious Duge was now, the more tragic the fall of the economy would be later…

Of course.

There were also some who weren’t simply waiting around but were collecting intelligence on Wang Chong and Seven Star Mountain in various ways, spreading it secretly to the outside world.

The theory of Wang Chong’s threat quietly spread throughout the world.

They wanted to see if any fools couldn’t resist taking action against Wang Chong…

If someone took action, it would be even more interesting.

…

Apart from Duge who was openly and boldly developing his force.

The other Alien Warriors were sneakily making small moves, waiting for the first person to break the ice, waiting for Wang Chong’s dramatic collapse…

In others’ eyes, Wang Chong was a fool, arrogant, a high-profile target…

Everyone else was, in Wang Chong’s eyes, a bunch of idiots, wastes, and cowardly turtles…

…

After Duge left, his first patient, Chang Kui, finally managed to deceive a sick cultivator of a higher realm into joining the Medical Immortal Sect for his own abilities.

However, since Duge was not there, his realm could not be improved and had to settle down for the time being.

But when he saw the great changes in Medical Immortal Valley, just how many days had it been? All physicians and patients of the Medical Immortal Valley had advanced to the peak of their current realms.

In other sects, this would simply be impossible.

But for the Medical Immortal Sect, that was the confidence Duge gave to Chang Kui.

He was absolutely certain that one day, he too could ride Wang Chong’s coattails all the way to ascension…

And the sick cultivator he brought lay on the bed marked “Forbidden” and could never get up again.

No matter how much he cursed, everyone turned a blind eye.

They’d seen many like him; as soon as Wang Chong returned to perform a few surgeries, the man would obediently become one of their own…

The people of the Medical Immortal Sect knew their limits; lacking Duge’s ability to remove internal organs swiftly and without harm, they refrained from performing surgeries on patients themselves. They still retained a measure of medical ethics, not having been completely corrupted by Duge.

No one studied Duge’s “Big Dipper Seven Star Skill” anymore, Enlightenment Dao and all that was for geniuses. As for them, having a junior brother was enough…

…

Outside the Capital City.

Duge had spent a fortune to acquire an estate to serve as a temporary hospital.

With the help of Zheng Tingwen and other internal traitors, none of the supervisory envoys returning to their sects from the Void Refinement Realm escaped Duge’s recruitment.

With enough talented individuals under his command, Duge no longer had to risk and calculate like before.

Moreover, he was dealing with enemies of the same realm this time, wielding his skills to perfection.

Catching up, surprise attacks, stripping bare, dismembering, transferring power, brainwashing, all done in one go.

Every cultivator Duge encountered eventually became his ally.

Without exception.

However.

Duge still left them some dignity, choosing to act on the desolate mountains outside the Capital City.

After settling the supervisory envoys who were out on missions, Duge had expanded his collection of Void Refinement Realm masters to twenty.

Then he brought a few of them back to the Capital City, lured out the Void Refinement Realm masters stationed there, and except for the elders on external assignments, Duge had captured all of the Void Refinement Realm masters from the Supervision General Institute in one fell swoop.

Next, he had the Void Refinement Realm elders summon the Divinity Transformation Realm masters…

In just two days, with the exception of the Integration Realm institute head who was still in secluded cultivation and those Nascent Soul Realm and Golden Core Realm individuals whom Wang Chong already deemed beneath notice, working away…

Duge had effectively netted the middle and upper echelons of the Supervision General Institute, effectively seizing control over Yan Country’s Supervision General Institute.

He confirmed, with real actions, what he had told Zheng Tingwen, making the institute head devoid of usable people.

Dan Cong watched in amazement as Duge operated.

Seeing the abundance of talent at Duge’s disposal, he suddenly felt that Duge’s plans might truly be achievable, his strength and power had inflated too quickly.

It had only been a little over two months! Most of the top ten were still Inner Sect Disciples!

Duge was now effectively able to mobilize the resources of a national Supervisory Academy.

Before entering the Alien Battlefield, Dan Cong had watched many replays of the alien battles and had never seen anyone like Duge, who in the three months of starting, had managed to roll the snowball so large.

He felt no injustice in his loss.

Even if Duge hadn’t targeted him back then and had chosen to start with the Supervision Academy first, he still couldn’t have escaped and it might even have been easier than the last time he was caught.

After all.

Duge had operated too covertly, with too high efficiency.

Most people simply couldn’t react in time, even the influential figures of the Capital City hadn’t noticed the changes in the Supervision Academy.

Let alone the Alien Warriors.

Should they investigate, they would only discover that Duge had started a Seven Star Gate partnership, never imagining that Wang Chong had already taken care of the entire Supervision Academy. On the ranking list, his identity remained that vague Medical Immortal Sect Disciple.

Showy in part, yet concealing a greater part of his strength—the highest level of survival indeed!

Witnessing Duge’s maneuvers, Dan Cong felt as if his own thinking had been liberated.

If he ever had the chance to return alive from this journey, he would definitely promote Duge’s experiences as a model for everyone to learn from…

In the future, the methods of the Alien Battlefield were likely to change drastically.

As for the Integration Realm head of the Supervisory Academy, just a few days ago, Dan Cong had regarded him as an insurmountable figure. Now, he only saw him as meat on Duge’s chopping board, ready to be chopped up by Duge at any time, then reassembled to become one of their own…

By now, Dan Cong no longer harbored thoughts of being Duge’s enemy. Duge was arrogant yet cautious; Dan Cong couldn’t cause even a ripple. He couldn’t compete, even if he learned to write with gold.

He just hoped that Duge would keep his promise and reserve a top ten spot for him.
