Open up and break into another world

“Palace Master, don't forget that besides Xu Ming's heaven-defying strength, he is also a monstrous talent in the Dao of Arrays!”

When Tie Ning said this, he actually felt a lot of frustration and resentment in his heart.

Because…

Array Dao geniuses often don't receive the attention of the Palace of Inquiry!

Those combat-type geniuses are divided into grades of fifty years, one hundred years, one thousand years… and so on, by the Palace of Inquiry.

However, Array Dao geniuses don't have any grade classifications!

Without grade classifications, it means they can't enjoy the cultivation resources of the Palace of Inquiry—this is too unfair to Array Dao geniuses!

However, you can't blame the Palace of Inquiry for being biased.

After all, the human race doesn't need to cultivate too many Array Dao geniuses.

For example, take Refiners—the foundation of refining is the Dao of Arrays.

A Refiner at Tie Ning's level only needs to exist to satisfy the equipment supply of all the top experts of the entire human race; they can even have a surplus to pass on to the next generation!

The same principle applies to top Alchemists, Inscriptionists, Array Dao Masters, and so on!

For these top experts in "niche professions," the entire human race only needs one in the same era.

Even if there's an occasional gap and no new Refining experts, Alchemy experts, etc., take over, it doesn't matter—the race's treasure vault has plenty of equipment, pills, and other items in stock!

Because of this, the Palace of Inquiry isn't very enthusiastic about nurturing Array Dao geniuses.

But combat geniuses are different!

Combat geniuses are definitely a case of the more, the better!

You must know that the battle between the human race and the demon race depends on the number of top experts!

If the human race's top experts far outnumber the demon race's, then they can take the opportunity to completely destroy the demon race and occupy the entire Endless Continent!

Conversely, the human race may also be completely destroyed by the demon race!

Then, from then on, the Endless Continent will completely become the territory of the demon race; humans will be raised as food.

Although the three experts Tie Ning, Maple Leaf, and Mo Zixuan deeply understood this principle, they couldn't help but feel a sense of imbalance whenever they saw the race unwilling to put effort into nurturing Array Dao geniuses.

Now, Xu Ming had suddenly appeared, not only with heaven-defying strength but also a monstrous talent in the Dao of Arrays that was rare to see in a million years; yet, Palace Master Po Tian was unwilling to designate Xu Ming as a "Million-Year Grade" genius, which naturally made Tie Ning and the other two feel dissatisfied.

Palace Master Po Tian fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, “Everyone knows that the race's resources are limited, and every resource must be used reasonably and justified! Xu Ming's realm is indeed a bit too low…”

The expressions of Tie Ning and the other two changed—was Palace Master Po Tian still unwilling to designate Xu Ming as a “Million-Year Grade”?

“However…” Palace Master Po Tian continued, “Xu Ming's Array Dao talent is indeed incredibly monstrous! If such talent were to be buried, it would also be a great loss to the human race!”

Temporary designation?

A temporary designation is still good!

“The sixth level of the Towering Sky Tower requires an understanding of the Heavenly Dao's origin laws to reach the level of a Six-Step Dao Lord before one can pass it!” Tie Ning mused secretly.

“Cultivating in the God Domain is much more efficient than cultivating in the outside world! With Xu Ming's talent, there's still a great hope of passing the sixth level of the Towering Sky Tower within thirty years!”

In other words, there was a great hope that Xu Ming would be officially designated as a “Million-Year Grade” genius.

Thinking of this, Tie Ning instantly felt cheerful: “Haha, I didn't expect that I, Tie Ning, would also take in a 'Million-Year Grade' genius disciple! Ah, hahaha… There are successors! There are successors!”

The surrounding top experts all looked at Tie Ning with strange eyes.

Elder Maple Leaf even directly sneered: “When did Xu Ming become your disciple? Why don't I know about it? I think Xu Ming should be more willing to be my disciple!”

“You two should stop dreaming!” Elder Mo Zixuan scoffed, “I'm determined to take Xu Ming as my disciple! No matter how you two fight, it's useless!”

“Oh? Just you, Mo Zixuan?” Tie Ning and Maple Leaf both laughed.

“Enough nonsense! When Xu Ming comes out, we'll each show our skills and see who he wants to be his disciple!”

“Haha! Then it's up to each of us to show our abilities!”

…

After Xu Ming returned to the illusion array, he first let Chi Xue leave through the teleportation gate. Then, he steadily held his chair and continued to collect tolls from passersby.

After witnessing Xu Ming's unparalleled strength, the geniuses in the Mountain and River World realized that the only way to win the Dao Fate Battle was to honestly obey the game rules set by Brother Ming!

Therefore, the geniuses outside the illusion array no longer pointed at the illusion array and cursed, but seriously pondered how to quickly gather treasures worth ten thousand low-grade Dao Stones and offer them to Brother Ming.

The geniuses became well-behaved. For a time, Xu Ming's efficiency in collecting tolls greatly improved.

Before long, Xu Ming had accumulated enough to let nine hundred and ninety-nine geniuses pass!

Since there were only one thousand winning spots in the Dao Fate Battle, Xu Ming would naturally keep the last one for himself.

“It's time to call it a day!”

Xu Ming smiled contentedly, directly retracted the "Myriad Flowers Illusion Sea" array plate, and rushed towards the teleportation gate.

“Let's go!!”

At the moment when Xu Ming rushed into the teleportation gate, the surrounding "Myriad Flowers Illusion Sea" illusion array also disappeared.

At the same time, this Dao Fate Battle ended!

Whoosh—

The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Passing through the teleportation gate, Xu Ming appeared in a secret chamber.

“Please exchange your Nine-Colored Stones!” A mechanical voice sounded in the secret chamber.

The Nine-Colored Stones were purely quest items and had no other use.

Xu Ming directly poured out all the hundreds of thousands of Nine-Colored Stones from his storage ring, piling them into a small mountain—Xu Ming had dug some of these Nine-Colored Stones himself, but most of them were collected as tolls.

Buzz—

A strange array fluctuation instantly moved away the small mountain made of Nine-Colored Stones and moved over a "Small Mountain of Dao Stones."

Xu Ming's previously deposited storage ring was also suspended at the top of the Small Mountain of Dao Stones.

Xu Ming took back the storage ring and waved his hand to collect all the Small Mountain of Dao Stones—a mere hundred thousand low-grade Dao Stones, Xu Ming was too lazy to even count.

You must know that the treasures Xu Ming collected as tolls were the real prize, worth seven or eight million low-grade Dao Stones!

“Let's go!”

A beam of teleportation light directly teleported Xu Ming to the central area of the Inquiry Banquet.

This area had many top human experts and the other nine hundred and ninety-nine geniuses who had already won from the Dao Fate Battle.

Xu Ming's arrival instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.

I have to get up early tomorrow to go back to work, so only two chapters today.

I have accumulated four chapters in debt, such a tiring number… It seems that I have to find a way to take a day off to clear the debt first.

Uh, but recently I haven't been working hard enough because of writing books, and the leaders have some opinions on me. What if they fire me directly…
