Chapter 473 - 473: This Is A Stick-Up
“Is this my current level of power?”
The changes his body had undergone this time were huge. That being said, his size did not increase by as much as he thought it would. Perhaps the system had made some adjustments in this regard.
Wang Mang only calmed down after some time, but his heart was bursting with happiness. His gains from the mystic realm were beyond his imagination, and had allowed his strength to skyrocket.
He was now the 3rd strongest expert on Earth!
Above him, there were only two people, Demon Lord Chong Lou, and Yu Shen. Although Yu Shen was ranked higher than he was, they were both fellow peak-level Heaven Immortal realm experts, so in a fight, it would be hard to say who would win.
Of course, Wang Mang still had to adapt to his own strength first.
With this in mind, Wang Mang began to focus on adapting to his newfound power, testing things out on the island. It took him half a month to completely get used to his new strength, but on the upside, could now use his full power.
“It’s about time. 1 should be able to completely control my power now.”
Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction. Then, he left the island and began to fly toward his home province. As he did, he wondered what the second to fifth prizes were.
Any reward Sovereign gave out would be extraordinary, which meant that these four others would definitely become much stronger as well.
“It’s best to get some information on the matter rather than having to face them blindly.”
Thinking this, he decided to turn around and head back to the dock in Fu Province.
Honestly, if he could, he wanted to get his hands on those rewards, though that might not be very feasible. In any case, he would play things by ear.
At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.
[Ding! Host’s current status detected! The host is given the following mission options!]
[Mission 1: Ignore the others who obtained rewards from Sovereign!]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 500 energy points!]
[Mission 2: Attempt to snatch a reward from someone who obtained a reward from Sovereign!]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 1000 energy points, Top-grade Gacha xi!]
[Mission 3: Successfully snatch a reward from someone who obtained a reward from Sovereign!]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 4,500 energy points, Immortal-grade Gacha xi! ]
After checking out the mission details, Wang Mang was a little dissatisfied. Even the third mission option’s rewards were barely a drop in the bucket in terms of the energy points he now needed to evolve.
Sigh, but it was better than nothing…
Thinking this, he made a choice without hesitation.
“System, 1 choose Mission 3!”
[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
[Warm reminder: Due to the host’s sudden increase in strength, the energy points obtained after devouring the Heaven Immortal realm expert has changed!]
“System, what do you mean?” Wang Mang asked for some clarification.
[The host’s strength has reached the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm, thus the amount of energy points provided by devouring ordinary Heaven Immortal realm experts has been greatly reduced.]
Wang Mang’s heart sank.
However, he could understand the logic behind why the system made the adjustments. He would just have to adapt and work out other ways of getting energy points.
Still, he had to ask.
“System, how many energy points can 1 obtain from devouring a Heaven Immortal realm expert?”
[Ding! Please find out for yourself!]
[Warm reminder! The system has already taken the four corpses of the Heaven Immortal realm experts in your storage as repayment for the loan.]
Wang Mang did not mind this. After all, he was planning to do so in the beginning, and really did not want to be charged interest. In any case, even if he did mind, there was nothing he could do about it. The deed was done!
Half an hour later, Wang Mang once again arrived near the dock in Fu Province. He took on his human form and loitered around, waiting for the experts to return from the mystic realm.
At the same time, he was sizing up his surroundings. He realized that there were many more active humans in this ruined city than there used to be.
It was no longer as lifeless as before.
He waited for three days.
On the third day, Wang Mang suddenly sensed that space in the sky had begun to twist and distort.
Soon after, many experts appeared above the dock one after another like dumplings in a pot.
Among them were experts from the demon race, demon embryos and of course, the Netherworld.
However, in Wang Mang’s eyes, these fellows could no longer be considered experts.
His gaze immediately fell on Tian Yu, as well as the person beside him, who was obviously Yu Shen. The two seemed inseparable.
Fortunately, it seemed that Yu Shen had not broken through and surpassed the Heaven Immortal realm yet, which made Wang Mang secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Moments later, he noticed that some of the experts were preparing to leave, and thus he immediately rose into the sky, looking down and the twenty to thirty experts present.
“This is a stick-up! No one is allowed to leave!”
