Cosmic Trading System

"Boom——"

Fang Ao’s Domain Power and attack were instantly shattered, then a powerful force slammed into him. His body was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

"Cough——"

With great difficulty, Fang Ao managed to stop his body in the starspace, but shortly after, he bends slightly forward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His chest was covered in blood, presenting a pitiful scene.

To think that he was severely injured after just one round of fighting.

"What? The gap is so large?"

Inside the battleship, upon seeing this scene, Lin Yun’s eyes flashed, he muttered softly.

However, it didn’t take long for Lin Yun to figure it out.

Generally, there was a large disparity between the initial and mid stages of each Major Realm, and the standard price of Yang One was ultimately 30 billion Spirit Crystals. This could buy three robots with the strength of a Level 10 Initial Martial Artist.

A price three times higher naturally corresponded to thrice the strength.

Moreover, Moon Two possessed the strength of a Level Nine Peak Martial Artist. Its standard price on the Cosmic Trading System was also seven billion Spirit Crystals, only 30 billion less than a robot with the strength of a Level Ten Initial Martial Artist.

You get what you pay for.

Furthermore, they were simulated based on the strength and abilities of Martial Artists, which also provided an empowered strength boost.

Adding all these elements together, it led to this result.

"What!!"

"Our lord is injured!"

"A Level 10 Martial Artist? The lord said his opponent is a Level 10 Cultivator? Did I hear that correctly?"

"A Level 10 Martial Artist? My goodness!"

Many subordinates on Fang Ao’s battleship were shocked upon seeing this scene.

In the starspace.

"Retreat!"

Startled, furious, and terrified, Fang Ao immediately performed a teleportation technique, intending to leave the battlefield.

The strength of his opponent was not that of an ordinary Level 10 Initial Martial Artist but rather a Level 10 Mid Term Realm Martial Artist. This power greatly exceeded his expectations and his capacity to handle.

Most importantly, he didn’t know if his opponent had other strong cultivators on his side.

He made an immediate decision on the spot.

In reality, his injuries weren’t that serious. The blood he spit out was intentional to deceive the enemy and allow the body’s internal blood stasis to be discharged. Though it temporarily aggravated the injury, it would make his recovery smoother.

"Healing Pill!"

Following this, he grabbed a pellet from his pocket and swallowed it after a moment of struggle.

This high-level pellet was extremely beneficial in healing their injuries. It was said to recover the wounds of a Level Ten cultivator instantly, as long as the injuries weren’t severe.

If there were no injuries or minor ones, it could significantly increase his strength.

The high costs of these healing pills made them a life-saving necessity during crucial moments.

Naturally, the price of this kind of pellet was staggering.

A while ago, when he went to visit the Kodis Royal Family, they gave him two pellets along with three premium Level Six Technology-Based Battleships.

One pellet was reportedly worth a third of a premium Level Six Technology-Based Battleship and was priceless. How could he bear to use such an expensive pellet?

But at this moment, he had no choice but to use it.

"Boom——"

As soon as the pellet entered his mouth, it exploded inside him with a powerful medicinal energy. His limbs felt full of strength.

Whoosh——

During this process, Fang Ao performed several more teleportations.

He felt as though his teleportation speed had increased, which brought him joy.

Initially, he was worried that his opponent, whose strength had reached the Mid Term Realm of Level Ten, would outdo him in teleportation. But now, he felt a lot more confident.

He had already planned to break into the accelerated space layer, and then perform his teleportation inside it.

Once there, the consumption of energy would be enormous. Even if his opponent followed him in, it was unlikely he would chase him relentlessly.

After all, he was escaping for his life and would, therefore, use all his strength and strategies. Would his opponent be willing to risk his life to give chase?

In the starspace, many things could happen at any moment. Moreover, this was a battlefield. Who could ensure that there wouldn’t be any ambush set up ahead? Would they dare to use up all their strength or consume a significant amount of internal energy?

"Thinking of leaving? Stay here!"

However, he underestimated the teleportation speed of a Level 10 Mid Term Realm Martial Artist. Yang One had already caught up to him before he could even break the accelerated space layer. Grunting coldly, he thundered.

"Boom——"

He threw a punch at him.

Fang Ao instantly released his Domain Power to defend himself. Their powers clashed.

This time, as Fang Ao was prepared and only Yang One was attacking him, his injuries weren’t as severe as before.

But during their standoff, Moon Two had caught up with him.

Normally, Fang Ao wouldn’t take a Level Nine Peak Martial Artist too seriously in a direct contest. However, now, with a Level Ten Mid Term Realm Martial Artist watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey, how could he underestimate him?

One failure led to another. Once affected, he would fail rapidly. He knew this very well.

"This is incredibly disgraceful! A dignified Level Ten Mid Term Martial Artist teams up with a Level Nine Martial Artist to fight against me, a Level Ten Initial Cultivator. Do you still have the composure of an elite cultivator?" As Fang Ao blocked Moon Two’s attack, he fulminated indignantly.

He deliberately didn’t specify Moon Two’s exact level to make Yang One feel even more humiliated.

As he said, a Level Ten Mid Term Martial Artist teaming up with a Level Nine Martial Artist to take on a Level Ten Initial Cultivator was indeed shameful.

This gave the impression that the Level Ten Mid Term Martial Artist was on the same level as the Level Nine Martial Artist.

When people heard ’Level Nine Martial Artist,’ they probably first thought of Level Nine, Initial or Mid Term Martial Artists, instead of a Level Nine Peak Martial Artist, who was close to being a Level Ten Cultivator.

Moreover, the opponent was of a lower level than Yang One, which showed the inadequacy of Yang One’s true abilities.

Unfortunately, Yang One and Moon Two were robots; naturally, they wouldn’t care about his words. They would only strictly follow Lin Yun’s orders.

For a while, Fang Ao was unable to retreat and could only fight with Yang One and Moon Two.

"Huh? Their strength seems a bit rigid?"

A moment later, a glimmer of light flashed in Fang Ao’s eyes, he said in surprise.

These two people, they weren’t as strong as he imagined?

"No, this Martial Artist energy, it’s not the genuine Martial Artist energy. This is... simulated by special energy. These two are robots?" He gasped in shock.

These two were robots, and for a moment, he was a mix of both joy and rage. Discover hidden tales at freewebnovel

The good news was that robots were ultimately not humans. They might possess various kinds of strength, but they couldn’t perform as well as humans in real-life situations. Now that he knew they were not human, he could use special means to deal with them.

What enraged him was that he, a powerful figure of nearby Star Domains, had been forced to escape disgracefully by two robots. This was hugely embarrassing.

However, he was soon shocked.

He had seen robots with the strength of Cultivators before; the Kodis Empire had many, but... robots with level 10 Martial Artist strength were technological items that could only be produced by a level seven civilization!

Could it be that the other party was a figure from a level seven civilization?

For a moment, he was overwhelmed by complex emotions.

He hadn’t expected that the other party was such a big shot. No wonder their battleship was so unique and they weren’t afraid of his identity.

Now, as a guest of a level six civilization, offending such a person could lead to significant trouble.

However, soon after, he came to his senses and said viciously, "So what if they have robots with the strength of level 10 Mid Term Realm Martial Artists? These robots, even in a level seven civilization, should mean nothing! Back when I was only at level eight, I dared to intercept advanced battleships for enormous wealth. Why should I fear now?"

"Maybe this is the opportunity for Fang Ao! Yes, this is my opportunity! After reaching level 10, normal resources could no longer help me strengthen myself. At this time, a figure from a level seven civilization appeared... They must have come to give me resources and opportunities!" His eyes shone brighter and brighter as he talked, and he seemed quite excited.

"Kill!" he yelled.

"Boom--"

He charged towards Yang One and Moon Two, his confidence restored.

"Has the fight finally begun? That’s good..."

Elsewhere, Lin Yun was observing this scene from inside his battleship, his eyes half-closed as he murmured.

This was a chance to see for himself what a real-life level 10 Cultivator’s fight looked like. At the same time, he could confirm whether there were other level 10 Cultivators on the three other battleships.

"Boom--boom--boom--"

In the blink of an eye, Fang Ao had already exchanged dozens of blows with Yang One and Moon Two.

"As expected of a peak warrior of this Star Domain who could cultivate to level 10 so quickly. He indeed has some skills to be able to fight against Yang One and Moon Two for so long..." Lin Yun nodded slightly, murmuring to himself.

However, by this time, he saw that Fang Ao was already reaching his limits.

"Haha, so that’s all a robot with the strength of a level 10 Mid Term Realm Martial Artist can do!" At that moment, Fang Ao gave a cold laugh and said.

As he spoke, a pellet appeared in Fang Ao’s palm, which he swallowed in an instant.

"Boom--"

A burst of powerful medicinal energy exploded within his body from the pellet he had just taken.

It was not the best idea to take these pellets consecutively.

But now, he had to gamble. Because he had already found the weakness of these two robots, and was just waiting for the right moment.

Now that the moment had come, if he could seize this chance to gain the upper hand, he might be able to dominate the battle.

"The price I’m paying now, you’ll have to pay back a hundredfold!!" Fang Ao’s energy rapidly increased, and he roared.

"Boom--"

A powerful burst of Domain Power and attacking energy exploded from his body, rapidly surging toward Yang One and Moon Two.

"Huh? That pellet?"

Seeing this, Lin Yun’s heart tightened.

Swoosh--

At this moment, Yang Two, who was beside Lin Yun, moved.

Earlier, when Lin Yun ordered him to stand by, he had taken the order seriously.

Now, seeing that Yang One and Moon Two might be in great trouble, he immediately sprang into action.

"Yang Two..."

Noticing this, Lin Yun exclaimed.

He had never encountered such a situation before, so he didn’t know that Yang Two would take the initiative to act.

"There shouldn’t be any other level 10 Cultivators on those three battleships, right?"

The next moment, Lin Yun lowered his voice, glancing at the three other battleships.

At this point, he had already realized that something might go wrong with Yang One and Moon Two.

Fang Ao truly lived up to his reputation as one of the top figures of this Star Domain and one of a dozen level 10 Cultivators. While he didn’t have the ability to challenge those above his level, his fighting instincts were incredibly strong and he had managed to exploit the inherent weaknesses of Yang One and Moon Two.

Normally, it would be difficult for a regular person to notice and take advantage of these weaknesses, let alone edge in on them. But this Fang Ao had just done exactly that.

If Yang Two did not intervene, Yang One and Moon Two would likely suffer significant damage.

It must be said, the opponent did not get to this point by fluke. He truly was talented.

If he didn’t encounter them this time, perhaps he could achieve greater success in the future.

However, unfortunately for him, Yang Two had stepped in.

Yang Two was a Peak level 10 Martial Artist. He could single-handedly defeat ten opponents of his level. Even if Fang Ao’s strength had increased dramatically, he could not possibly match him.

However, he should now pay attention to see if the opponent had any more level 10 Cultivators.

If another one appeared who was at the Mid Term Realm of level 10, or if there were two more level 10 Cultivators, the course of the battle could change.

Although the possibility of this was slim.

After all, Yang One and Moon Two had been fighting Fang Ao for so long, but no new strong individuals had shown up from the other side.

But there was a chance, nonetheless.

It would be best if he remained vigilant.

If there were more Cultivators, he could respond early.

With Yang Two entering the fray alongside Yang One and Moon Two against Fang Ao, he didn’t need to worry any longer.
