“Boom!”

In the vast desert, a loud noise echoed, and a huge surge of fighting energy radiated in all directions, immediately stirring up flying sand and obscuring the vision like a hazy mist.

Under the surge of fighting energy, Yun Yun involuntarily flew backwards, and Gu He was directly lifted and thrown out.

“What a strong power! When did the Gamma Empire produce such a master!”

Yun Yun stabilized her figure, feeling inexplicably shocked.

She looked across and saw a black-robed figure standing proudly in the void. His whole body was filled with profound and unfathomable fluctuations. From the previous battle, it could be seen that this person’s strength was at least above the Nine-Star Dou Huang level!

In the Gamma Empire, there were indeed Nine-Star Dou Huangs, and there was more than one. Her teacher, Yun Shan, was one, and the guardian of the Gamma Empire’s royal family, Jia Xing Tian, was also one. But other than that, she had never heard of anyone reaching the level of a high-level Dou Huang, let alone surpassing it. Could it be someone from another country?

“You two, don’t bother me, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”

The black-robed man snorted coldly, his mouth uttering an ancient voice.

After speaking, he shot towards the outside of the desert.

“Wait!”

Gu He stabilized his figure and immediately became anxious. He quickly flapped his fighting energy wings and chased after him.

“Please leave the Exotic Fire behind, I’m willing to exchange it with treasures!”

“Buzz!”

Seeing Gu He catching up, the black-robed man waved his hand, and a fierce surge of fighting energy rushed towards Gu He.

Gu He’s expression changed, wanting to dodge but it was already too late. He could only grit his teeth and prepare to take this attack head-on.

But when the fighting energy arrived in front of him, it unexpectedly dissipated like a spring breeze, without touching his body at all.

Gu He was slightly stunned, not yet reacting to what had happened.

The black-robed man glanced back and quickly disappeared into the distance.

“Teacher, what just happened? Did you hold back?”

“I wanted to injure him just now, but someone helped him block it.”

“Who?”

“Soul power, who else could it be?”

“Ah? Little teacher? Why?”

“Maybe there’s an old relationship, anyway, let’s go first!”

Under the cover of night, the black-robed man’s figure seemed to have an extra layer of protection. His speed was astonishing, and he quickly disappeared.

It was only at this time that Xu Zong flew over slowly.

“Yun Yun, are you okay?”

Yun Yun greeted him, anxiously checking her body as if she was worried that she had been injured.

“I’m fine.”

Xu Zong calmly shook his head.

“Master Gu, let’s forget about the Exotic Fire for now. With a master secretly intervening, it seems that there is no chance.”

Gu He sighed deeply.

The strength of that black-robed man was astonishing. He was probably already at the Dou Zong level, able to move freely within the entire Gamma Empire. With such a person interfering this time, it could only be said that his luck was not good.

The three of them had no choice but to return to the flying beast’s location along the same path, and then fly towards the outside of the desert.

On the way, Gu He took out two Dou Ling Pills and handed them to the two Dou Wangs who had come to help. The two of them happily accepted them. Then, Gu He took out several more Dou Ling Pills and handed them to Xu Zong, but Xu Zong refused.

She didn’t come out this time for Gu He’s pills or any favors. She simply wanted to visit a famous scene. Gu He’s pills were no longer useful to her, and she had already gained something better this time.

Caressing the colorful little snake wrapped around her arm, Xu Zong’s mood became very pleasant.

After returning to the Cloud Mist Sect, Xu Zong once again entered closed-door cultivation.

This time, there should be no disturbances. The three-year agreement didn’t exist at all. There was no conflict of interest between the Cloud Mist Sect and the Xiao Family. She planned to cultivate in the Cloud Mist Sect until she created a new technique.

However, she still needed to be cautious of the Soul Hall. With their style, they would definitely not let the Xiao Family off the hook. She had to be careful not to be implicated by them.

In this way, several months passed, and Xu Zong, who had reached the Battle Through the Heavens realm, was already in her late teens.

One day, a new member joined the chat group.

“Ding! Welcome ‘Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong’ to join this chat group!”

Immediately, all the Xu Zongs flooded into the chat group.

Mang Huang Xu Zong: “Bao Lian Deng? The domestic Erlang Shen from the ceiling?”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “Damn it, this cheat came just in time!”

Tun Shi Xu Zong: “What’s wrong? Is the newcomer having difficulties?”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “Long story short, I transmigrated into Yang Jiao, the eldest brother of Yang Jian and Yang Chan. I’m already ten years old now. Although I’m strong, my mother refuses to teach me spells. In a few years, I’ll be killed by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals!”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “Is there any way to save me?”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “Huh? This group name and nickname… Who is your favorite teacher?”

Mang Huang Xu Zong: “This is a bit too much. In the past, I liked Aizawa, Suzumori, Momonogi, and so on. Recently, I think Chongtian-sensei is great!”

Ultraman Xu Zong: “Huluuluulu…”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “Why is someone snoring?”

Zong Wu Xu Zong: “Don’t mind these details. Look at the ‘Newbie Spirit 3.0’ in the group files. The worlds and experiences of the group members, as well as the functions and settings of the chat group, are all in there. Just take a look and you’ll understand.”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “Okay!”

Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong: “So that’s how it is. I understand! I’ll go cultivate now!”

In a short while, Bao Lian Deng Xu Zong’s profile picture dimmed.

Long Zhu Xu Zong: “I’m speechless. Why is this newcomer so energetic?”

Zong Wu Xu Zong: “It’s normal. The Yang family will encounter a tragedy in a few years. If the newcomer doesn’t do anything, they will die. The pressure is already at its limit.”

Feng Yun Xu Zong: “Bao Lian Deng… seems to have a lot of monsters. If I had joined the group earlier, I would have directly cultivated monster techniques and transformed long ago.”

“Ding! The number of users in this chat group has reached ten. The second upgrade of the group’s functions will begin. The chat group will temporarily close after a three-second countdown and restart within ten seconds. Please wait a moment!”

Suddenly, a mechanical prompt sound from the chat group echoed in the minds of all the Xu Zongs.After the countdown of three, two, one, the chat group disappeared directly from the mind.

Then, after about three seconds, the chat group reopened.

“Ding! The chat group upgrade has been successful, with the addition of the ‘Increase Talent Sharing Duration’ feature and the ‘Points Transfer’ feature. Please explore on your own!”

Xu Zong of the Desolate Wilderness: “Great! The talent sharing time has finally been extended. I’m tired of the first thing I do every morning being flipping through all the Xu Zong avatars and sharing each talent!”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “+1.”

Dragon Ball Xu Zong: “+1.”

Ultraman Xu Zong: “Zzzzzz……”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Stop, don’t spam.”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “So, has anyone tried how long the talent sharing can last now?”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “I tried it, the latest sharing duration can be chosen anywhere between one day and one year. The limit should be one year.”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “One year… I guess I’ll be closing off for several years, even decades, one year is not enough.”

Demon Slayer Xu Zong: “Has the chat group finally upgraded?”

Anti-Demon Ninja Xu Zong: “Anyway, sharing is not troublesome, operating once a year, it won’t take a few minutes.”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “I’m busy, Anti-Demon Ninja! Is there such a Xu Zong in the group?”

Anti-Demon Ninja Xu Zong: “Newcomers, check the group files, there are many good things!”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “What do you take me for? I’m about to face the heavenly soldiers and generals, where do I have time to look at this? I’m going to cultivate!”

Anti-Demon Ninja Xu Zong: “My side just prompted that someone downloaded the ‘Chaos Arena’ video I uploaded. Does anyone have any questions?”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “No.”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “I suggest you look at the newcomer’s talent.”

Desolate Wilderness Xu Zong: “What do you mean?”

Clicking on the avatar of Lotus Lantern Xu Zong and pulling down, his talent immediately appeared.

Talent: Baidu

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Huh?”

Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “What kind of talent is this? Can you get the result directly by searching? Are we omniscient?”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “If I were omniscient, would I be so eager to cultivate?”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “I have a search engine in my head, which is Baidu. Whatever I input, it will display the search results of the Baidu page, just like a cheat code.”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “For example, because I’m bored, I’ve watched a lot of movies in my head.”

Lotus Lantern Xu Zong: “By the way, you guys who have traveled to various worlds, you probably don’t remember the settings and plots there very clearly, right? You can share my talent and then watch it from beginning to end.”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Downloaded.”

Desolate Wilderness Xu Zong: “Downloaded.”

Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Downloaded.”

Dragon Ball Xu Zong: “Downloaded.”

Ultraman Xu Zong: “Zzzzzz……”

For a moment, all the Xu Zongs shared the talent of Lotus Lantern Xu Zong, and then the avatars went dark one by one, leaving only the snoring of Ultraman Xu Zong rhythmically sounding.

Swallowed Star World.

Xu Zong was sitting in the gravity room, his mind immersed in the search engine in his mind. After inputting the four characters of Swallowed Star, several results about the original work, anime, and even fan fiction were displayed.

Xu Zong first glanced at the anime, which was indeed a domestic 3D production.

“This protagonist, he doesn’t look like Luo Feng at all!”

After watching for a while, Xu Zong decisively closed it, then opened the original work and began to read it without sleep or food.

The reading speed of a star-level powerhouse is extremely fast. In a few hours, he had read the original work from beginning to end.

“This talent is just in time!”

Xu Zong laughed with surprise.

This Baidu talent is clearly a historical stream, or a cheat code for plagiarism. Unexpectedly, the talent of Lotus Lantern Xu Zong was this. Through this talent, Xu Zong had completely figured out the specific time of the original genius battle.

Xu Zong had a thought and flipped into the comment section of Swallowed Star.

“I’ve already traveled to the Swallowed Star world and am about to participate in the genius battle. Those who want to travel, leave a message here. When I transcend in the future, I’ll bring you over!”

In a short while, the troll netizens flocked in, and the building was full of “please take me” responses.

Xu Zong fell into thought.

“This Baidu, something’s not right……”
