Chapter 701: The First Rank 70 Clone

In this scene, let alone ordinary people, even those knowledgeable S-Rank Experts had never seen such a method with such boundless Divine Ability!

This was no longer a realm that human effort could reach!

This was a miracle!

It turns out that in this world, gods truly exist!

"Thud!"

"Thud! Thud!"

At this moment, no one doubted anymore.

Whether it was ordinary commoners or the high-and-mighty Professionals, whether they were the elderly or children, everyone knelt on the ground wholeheartedly, offering their most devout faith to that great figure in the sky.

[Ding! Sensing a massive amount of faith from all living beings, obtained Karma points: 88888!]

[Ding! Sensing a massive amount of faith from all living beings, obtained Karma points: 123456!]

[Ding! …]

Looking at the Karma points in the backend that were once again wildly skyrocketing, Zhou Huai smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

Just as everyone was worshipping him, he quietly dissipated the phantom of Li Er.

Hiding his achievements and fame.

He still had more important matters to attend to.

Nowadays, with over a hundred million Karma points in his hands, he had to seize the time to convert them into solid combat power!

[…]

One day later.

Eternal Night Guild, underground Cultivate room.

Zhou Huai's consciousness was quietly waiting.

When the twenty-four-hour cooldown time of Li Er's Rank 20 ultimate skill [Saints Domain] on the panel finally reset to zero in an instant—

Without any hesitation, he immediately controlled Li Er and activated this bug-like divine skill once again!

"Saints Domain!"

Hum——!

The sacred white halo enveloped Li Er once again.

Zhou Huai took a deep breath, a crazy and expectant light flashing in his eyes.

Looking at the long string of Karma points on the panel, he directly gave a simple and crude command.

"My Rank, continuously increase by 30 Ranks!"

Word of Law!

The next second, around Li Er's body, the white light representing leveling up burst forth wildly like a movie with the fast-forward button pressed, shooting up rapidly!

Under the forcible infusion of the power of rules, Li Er's Rank began a horrifying surge!

[Rank: 21… 25… 30… 40… 50… 51!]

The white light converged and receded, and Li Er's Rank finally and steadily stayed at Rank 51!

[Ding! Word of Law takes effect! Deduct Karma points: 32,168,000 points? Resist backlash.]

Listening to the prompt ringing in his mind, the corners of Zhou Huai's eyes couldn't help but twitch fiercely.

"Over thirty-two million…"

Even though the effect of Saints Domain reduced the backlash of Word of Law to one-tenth.

But forcibly increasing by thirty Ranks still deducted over thirty million Karma points from Li Er!

Zhou Huai silently calculated an account in his heart.

If there was no effect from Saints Domain… wouldn't that mean just these thirty Ranks would require consuming a full three hundred and twenty-million-plus Karma points?!

"Hiss——!"

He couldn't help drawing a sharp breath of cold air.

"The consumption for an SSS-Class Professional to level up is simply too huge!"

Moreover, as the Rank grew higher, the Karma points required for each level up increased wildly in geometric multiples.

However, Zhou Huai only clicked his tongue for a moment and didn't feel too heartbroken.

Raising Li Er's Rank brought immense benefits to himself and all the Clones under his command.

Stronger speech-spirit power meant stronger support and control capabilities.

Taking advantage of the fact that the precious thirty-second effect of Saints Domain had not completely disappeared yet,

Zhou Huai's gaze fell upon another Clone.

Xiang Yu!

Ever since returning from Sakura Country, Xiang Yu's Rank had started practicing from level one again, and now, piled with various resources, it had just barely crossed Rank 30.

"Still too slow."

Zhou Huai shook his head and resolutely controlled Li Er to cast Word of Law once again.

This time, his voice was steady and powerful.

"Xiang Yu's Rank is increased to Rank 70!"

As his voice fell,

Hum——!

Xiang Yu, standing beside Li Er, suddenly erupted with an upgrade white light from his whole body that was even more dazzling and eye-catching than when Li Er leveled up previously!

That white light shone endlessly, resembling a mini sun that illuminated the entire underground Cultivate room!

[Rank: 31… 40… 50… 60… 70!]

Until Xiang Yu's Rank steadily broke through the Rank 70 major milestone did that dazzling white light slowly subside.

The light scattered and receded, and Xiang Yu's figure reappeared.

He just stood quietly there, but his entire person's Aura had abruptly increased by a huge margin compared to before!

A terrifying oppressive might that dominated the world and was invincible radiated from his body, even causing the surrounding air to become heavy!

He had become the first Clone under Zhou Huai's command to reach Rank 70!

[Ding! Word of Law takes effect! Under the effect of Saints Domain, deduct Karma points: 10,000,000.]

Merely increasing Xiang Yu from Rank 30 to Rank 70 consumed a full ten million Karma points from Li Er.

"It was worth it!"

As Xiang Yu's Rank reached Rank 70,

white light continuously emerged from Zhou Huai's body as he also reached Rank 70.

His Rank would be on par with the highest-Ranked Clone among his Clones.

Therefore, there was no surprise on Zhou Huai's face.

In fact, with Li Er's current country-wealthy Karma point reserves, let alone Rank 70, directly pumping Xiang Yu all the way to Rank 80 in one go was completely more than enough.

But Zhou Huai was not in such a rush.

For no other reason.

Rank 70 was a crucial watershed.

The reason why Rank 70 Professionals were called "Legends", and why they could draw a chasm-like gap from Professionals below Rank 70,

the key lay in the "Domain"!

Domain, a profound and mysterious special power.

It would not be automatically learned as the Professionals' Rank increased, nor were there any skill books to learn it from.

It required Professionals in the golden stage of Rank 70 to Rank 80 to rely on their own Comprehension Ability, experience, and even the obsession deep within their Soul to comprehend, touch, and construct a rule field belonging exclusively to themselves.

Once comprehended, a "Domain skill" could be formed.

Within the Domain, Professionals would receive a tremendous boost.

Even for the same profession, because everyone's experiences and insights were different, the Domain skills comprehended in the end could also be completely different.

Some lightning-attribute mages comprehended the berserk "Thunder Punishment Domain", where tens of thousands of thunders descended within the Domain, destroying everything.

Some lightning-attribute mages comprehended the extreme-speed "Light Thunder Domain", where one's body turned into thunder light within the Domain, possessing matchless speed.

It could be said that the Domain was truly the beginning of a Professional walking towards the Peak and transcending the mortal world.

However, comprehending a Domain was also an extremely difficult, and one could even say illusory, process.

Countless gifted Professionals were firmly stuck at the low-70s Ranks throughout their lives, and until the limit of their lives arrived, they failed to touch the threshold named "Domain".

Once the Rank exceeded Rank 80, Professionals would forever lose the opportunity to comprehend a Domain, with zero hope of becoming a legend in this lifetime!

This was also a universally recognized iron rule in the world of Professionals.

So now, the problem arose.

A cruel and realistic problem was placed before Zhou Huai.

How… to let his own Clones comprehend a Domain?

Zhou Huai's gaze fell on the domineering and composed Xiang Yu beside him, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Xiang Yu.

And all the Clones under his command.

From an essential perspective, they were merely individual Puppets controlled by him.
