"Now that you have surpassed God of War, what are your plans?" After Luo Feng left, Qin Hao and Hong began to converse like old friends.
"Continue cultivating. This time, I gained some opportunities, and it will take some time to digest them," Qin Hao said, directly mentioning the opportunities he had obtained.
After all, from the original work and their interactions, Qin Hao had a certain understanding of Hong and felt confident sharing these matters.
"It seems the opportunities you've gained this time are significant," Hong said, hesitating for a moment before continuing, "Can you share the opportunities you've obtained? You can exchange them with me based on your contribution."
"Yes, I've already given a portion of the resources and shared the secret method I obtained with Councilor Jia Yi," Qin Hao said, then used his communicator to send a copy of the secret method he had previously sent to Jia Yi to Hong. "These are what can be shared from the inheritance, but I hope that content above the Planetary Level is restricted from widespread dissemination."
Although he decided to share these secret methods, Qin Hao still hoped they wouldn't be spread indiscriminately. After all, there were still many people with ill intentions on Earth.
"No problem. This content will only be available to core members within the martial arts hall. With these secret manuals, it won't be long before humanity can counterattack the monsters," Hong said. He had only glanced at the general content of the secret manuals Qin Hao shared but already knew their value.
The cultivation methods on Earth now were all developed after the Great Nirvana, and compared to the complete and mature systems in the inheritance, Earth's cultivation methods were very rough.
"And these ten mu ya crystals are also a part of the resources I obtained," Qin Hao said, not being stingy, and handed the mu ya crystals to Hong.
The resources left by Source Star King were considerable, but they were not to be taken out all at once. After all, Qin Hao knew about the saying, 'a little help brings gratitude, but too much brings resentment.' No matter how generous he was, everything had to be under his control.
"This is a list of the resources I currently have. You can directly exchange for anything you need," Hong projected the list directly.
Looking at the list, Qin Hao scanned it. Most of the items were useless to him but were needed by his family. He exchanged some essence of vegetation suitable for ordinary people to improve their physique, and finally added a Universe-level spaceship.
"Other matters have been settled. So, when do you plan to take over as Inspectors?"
"Let's wait a while." Qin Hao was not averse to becoming an Inspectors, but he didn't want to take over immediately.
"Hall Master, I want to spar with you and have a match," Qin Hao said with a sudden serious expression. This was after careful consideration. While Qin Hao had some understanding of his current strength, it was still a bit vague.
More importantly, Qin Hao wanted to observe Hong's application of his domain for reference. Currently, Qin Hao's domain was mostly based on his own exploration and interpretation from secret manuals, and he was still somewhat lacking in complete application.
"Alright, let's go to City 1001," Hong said, then stood up directly and walked out of the room, flying straight towards City 1001.
Qin Hao followed closely behind Hong, heading towards City 1001. Seeing Qin Hao catch up, Hong turned his head to look, and his speed suddenly increased.
Watching Hong accelerate, Qin Hao also began to gradually speed up, and the distance between them did not widen. The two began a race, and even after reaching City 1001, their speed competition continued.
"Your strength exceeds my expectations," Hong said to Qin Hao after stopping. Hong's optical computer already showed Qin Hao's strength as Planetary Level Three, but his current speed far exceeded that level.
"Just a bit of good fortune, it's normal," Qin Hao replied casually. Even without his domain, Qin Hao's strength was not inferior to Hong's.
Between Planetary Level Three and Hong's Planetary Level Seven, each level represented a 2x difference, meaning a 16x difference in strength alone. Coupled with Hong's force exertion, the difference was nearly a hundredfold.
However, Qin Hao was not an ordinary Planetary Level Three. His 9x gene represented 9x the strength of a peer, plus 12x force exertion, which could completely compensate for a hundredfold difference.
Qin Hao and Hong stood above City 1001, both looking at each other with caution.
"You can use your full power without worry. I have blocked all surrounding signals, even satellites cannot observe," Hong said.
After hearing Hong's words, Qin Hao launched the first attack. Compared to Hong, Qin Hao still had some gap in experience and temperament. Qin Hao was also very clear about this; in battle, only by striking first could he gain the upper hand.
With his long blade unsheathed, Qin Hao's figure quickly disappeared, reappearing in front of Hong. He swung his long blade, fully unleashing 12x force exertion. The martial technique Qin Hao was currently cultivating was no longer Ninefold Thunderblade, but a blade technique from the Source Star at the Planetary Level, which was more aligned with the basic warrior's force exertion techniques and more powerful.
Facing the attack, Hong's expression remained unchanged as he thrust his spear. His move was simple yet profound, directly striking the weakest point of Qin Hao's long blade, easily breaking Qin Hao's attack.
The battle erupted instantly. After their first clash, Qin Hao and Hong gradually increased their power, becoming entangled in combat. One had received a complete inheritance, with greatly improved force exertion, martial techniques, and movement skills; the other had been immersed in martial arts for many years, effortlessly unleashing various techniques.
The evenly matched clash excited both of them. For Hong, in recent years, besides sparring with Thunder God, no one else globally could withstand his attacks. For Qin Hao, although he had fought many times in the Trial Tower, fighting against programmed monsters was completely different from fighting humans.
Furthermore, Qin Hao clearly knew that even if both were seven-story Trial Towers, the gap between Source Star King's Trial Tower and the Virtual Universe was not small. After all, behind the Virtual Universe was the original, and an Automaton Race Universe Lord, whose restoration of the universe far exceeded imagination.
Hong and Qin Hao clashed over a hundred times, from the sky to the ground, with the battle continuously escalating. The monsters in City 1001 were all alarmed, rapidly fleeing. Those who fled slowly were caught in the battle's aftermath and instantly turned into blood.
"Next, I'll get serious," Hong said after their next clash.
After speaking, his aura changed, and the surroundings began to darken, as if light had disappeared. Hong's domain unfolded, and his full power state was activated.
Seeing Hong unfold his domain, green light rose around Qin Hao, indicating he had activated the first layer of his Wood Domain.
The appearance of Qin Hao's domain shocked Hong, but this shock was quickly replaced by excitement. The two, with their domains unfolded, clashed once again.
It must be said that Hong's power was immense; he comprehended his domain without any guidance, and his application of it was flawless. Although Qin Hao had a deeper understanding of the domain, his application was improved by the Source Star secret methods. However, the difference in their years of experience was also crucial.
