Chapter 55
Candlelight Hotel, underground training room:
Along with the appearance of several bundles of light, Wu Xiaoxiao and the others quickly reverted to their original state, shock and confusion coloring their faces as if they had experienced the same dream.
One person!
In a situation where everyone was at Level 101 and geared in Epic Weapons and Equipment at most, they didnât even know how they lost to Hidden Soul, let alone clas.h.i.+ng against her.
Meanwhile, all of this ended in an instantâŚ
What kind of monster is she?! After snapping out of her daze, Wu Xiaoxiao couldnât help but look at Hidden Soul in shock. Even the training campâs head instructor doesnât have strength like this. Could she be a G.o.d-ranked expert?
The various superpowers would typically have Tier 5 experts lead their training camps. Meanwhile, when partic.i.p.ating in Crimson Emperorâs training camp for top-tier geniuses, Wu Xiaoxiao had the fortune of meeting Blue Gown, a legendary individual from Crimson Emperor.
The Glorious Saint Blue Gown was once one of the top three geniuses in Crimson Emperor. After becoming a Vice Guild Leader in Crimson Emperor, she even became one of the Twelve Sacred Knights in G.o.dâs Domain.
Now that so many years had pa.s.sed since Blue Gown had made these achievements, she had already become one of the top-ranking players in the A-League. Although she had never reached Tier 6, few under Tier 5 could be her match.
Yet, despite Blue Gown being such a strong individual, Wu Xiaoxiao felt that Blue Gown couldnât even hold a candle to the mysterious cloaked woman before her right now. The two were standing on completely different levels.
However, Wu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head and denied the possibility of Hidden Soul being a G.o.d-ranked expert. No matter how she thought about it, there was no way a Tier 6 G.o.d-ranked expert would come to the Miniature Ancient World. Moreover, she didnât think that s.h.i.+ Feng, the former Guild Leader of a second-rate Guild, could be acquainted with a Tier 6 G.o.d-ranked expert.
Even so, Wu Xiaoxiao still couldnât help but wonder how s.h.i.+ Feng had managed to get acquainted with such a powerful expert.
âHave you six been sleeping in G.o.dâs Domain all these years? If I were to score your combat standards, I would give the best among you only five out of one hundred points, while the rest of you wonât receive more than three points. To make things worse, all six of you only have mediocre talent,â Hidden Soul said, her eyes filled with frustration when she looked at Wu Xiaoxiao and the others.
She had originally thought that s.h.i.+ Feng would surprise her with amazing geniuses. Now, though, it would seem that she was thinking too much. s.h.i.+ Feng had simply found a few trustworthy players to train in the Miniature Ancient World.
âMediocre talent? Five points?â
Qin Wuchen and the others couldnât help but look at Wu Xiaoxiao and Wu Lingling when they heard Hidden Soulâs evaluation. They felt that Hidden Soul was joking with them.
After all, Wu Lingling was currently regarded as the G.o.dâs Domain Academyâs number one genius. Even the Academyâs current Four Heavenly Kings wouldnât be a match for Wu Lingling when they were still in their freshman year.
As for Wu Xiaoxiao, not only was she a publicly acknowledged top-tier genius in G.o.dâs Domain, but she was also only half a step away from entering the Professional Leagueâs A-League. It should be known that the A-League was a stage where many of G.o.dâs Domainâs apex experts fought. Anyone capable of setting foot on this stage was a famous bigshot in G.o.dâs Domain.
Yet, despite Wu Xiaoxiao being such a talented expert, Hidden Soul had written her off as worthlessâŚ
âInstructor⌠My big sisterâŚdefinitely isnâtâŚâ
At this time, even Wu Lingling couldnât help but want to refute Hidden Soulâs evaluation. She wasnât doing this for her own sake. Instead, she sincerely thought that her elder sister was a true genius.
âYou donât need to defend me, Lingling.â Wu Xiaoxiao reached out and interrupted Wu Lingling. âWhat this instructor said is true. My talent is nothing special among the rookies the various superpowers are nurturing. In fact, my talent doesnât even reach the average standard.â
Wu Xiaoxiao was not the slightest bit surprised by Hidden Soulâs evaluation.
If it was before Wu Xiaoxiao had partic.i.p.ated in Crimson Emperorâs special training, she wouldâve most likely tried to refute Hidden Soulâs evaluation. However, after seeing the various superpowersâ and first-rate Guildsâ rookie talents, she came to understand one thingâher talent was truly mediocre.
It was also because Wu Xiaoxiao came to understand this that she wanted to let Wu Lingling partake in Crimson Emperorâs special training even more. This was because her little sister was much more talented than her.
Despite having only enrolled in the G.o.dâs Domain Academy recently at 17, Wu Lingling had already mastered Formless Steps, a top-tier basic combat technique. Her talent could be considered rare even among Crimson Emperorâs young geniuses.
If Wu Lingling could receive Crimson Emperorâs priority training, Wu Xiaoxiao was confident that her little sisterâs future achievements would far surpa.s.s hers.
âNot bad. At least youâre self-aware of your weaknesses,â Hidden Soul said, a rare smile appearing on her face. âSince you know you are mediocre, you need to work even harder if you want to become strong in the future. What you six need to do next is simple: fight me. You will pa.s.s when one of you manages to last more than a move against me. We will begin the real training once you pa.s.s.â
After saying so, Hidden Soul vanished from everyoneâs sights and mental perception once more.
âNot good! Spread out immediately!â
Wu Xiaoxiao promptly activated her Berserk Skill when she saw Hidden Soul disappearing. Then, she cast a magic barrier around herself.
Tier 3 Spell, Water Barrier!
Unfortunately, even though Wu Xiaoxiao had reacted quickly, she saw a dilapidated short sword cutting at her before her Water Barrier could even finish taking shape. Then, her vision darkened, and her body collapsed to the ground.
Moreover, Wu Xiaoxiao wasnât the only one who had collapsed. Wu Lingling and the others had also collapsed to the ground simultaneouslyâŚ
âYour response was good this time. Itâs a pity that your reactions are still too slow,â Hidden Soul said as she reappeared in front of everyone once more. Then, she shouted, âAgain!â
Ten times⌠Twenty times⌠Thirty timesâŚ
As if entering a cycle of death, Wu Xiaoxiao and the others got slaughtered by Hidden Soul one time after another. The entire process could be summed up as Wu Xiaoxiao and the others trying to escape as soon as they got resurrected.
However, even after exhausting all of their strategies, Wu Xiaoxiao and the others were still met with death. At best, they had managed to delay their deaths by 0.5 seconds.
Meanwhile, along with their repeated deaths, Wu Xiaoxiao and the others also came to understand the horror of Hidden Soul.
Rather than a monster, it would be more appropriate to call Hidden Soul a G.o.d of death!
They would die as soon as she laid eyes on them!

In the meantime, inside one of the villas[1] of the Qingzhu Villa District, s.h.i.+ Feng leisurely took out a bottle of A-rank Nutrient Fluid from the fridge and drank it. Then, he started doing the nine movement sets he had taught to Wu Lingling and the others. Only, the breathing technique he used in conjunction with this exercise was completely different, and its complexity was many times greater.
After completing one repet.i.tion, s.h.i.+ Feng approached the fridge again, grabbed another bottle of A-rank Nutrient Fluid, and emptied the bottleâs contents into his stomach.
As expected, the recovery effect of A-rank Nutrient Fluids is lacking. I can only complete the Body Strengthening Technique twice a day. s.h.i.+ Feng revealed a bitter smile when he looked at his trembling fists. At this rate, itâd take me at least a year or two to get my physical fitness to the master standard.
The exercise he taught to Wu Lingling and the others was a simplified version of his Body Strengthening Technique. Meanwhile, the Body Strengthening Technique was a training method he developed after combining the training methods he had gathered from other sub-worlds.
The Body Strengthening Technique allowed him to train the muscles throughout his entire body, and it did so by enriching his body cells with oxygen and accelerating his metabolism. This, in turn, helped with improving his physique from all aspects, and these improvements would continue until his physical fitness reached the standard of a Henglian master. Even in the Greater G.o.dâs Domain, the Body Strengthening Technique he created was extremely popular.
The only problem with the technique was the harm it did to the userâs body. Normally, one would need the help of S-rank Nutrient Fluids to perfectly restore the damage caused by overloading the body.
If s.h.i.+ Feng had enough S-rank Nutrient Fluids to help him recover, he would only need one month to bring his physical fitness to the level of a Henglian master.
Just when s.h.i.+ Feng was about to head to the G.o.dâs Domain Academy for cla.s.s after taking a short rest, the doorbell of his villa suddenly rang. Then, the houseâs smart housekeeper displayed the holographic image of a young man in front of s.h.i.+ Feng.
Meanwhile, this young man was none other than Gu Yiren, one of World Dominationâs internal experts and Shadowâs current Guild Leader!
