Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 378: Student flies out of the planet, almost dies on the way

Chapter 378: 378: Student flies out of the planet, almost dies on the way

After the Lin Family’s family banquet ended, Guo Yunfan had been waiting at the door.

Before Lin Yue left, she also gave him a mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Guo Yunfan excitedly accepted it and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Currently, only the Arena globally could exchange for low-grade Spirit Stones, and just one of those could elevate a Martial Artist from First-grade directly to Fifth-grade!

It was not only more time-efficient than spending tens of millions on Elixirs, but also incomparable in performance.

Cultivators refining Primordial Power from Spirit Stones were purer, and without discussing Combat Skills, just on numerical values alone, those who digested and absorbed Spirit Stones were definitely stronger.

Lin Yue knew Guo Yunfan must have heard their conversation while guarding the door.

But she didn’t care, these things would become widely known over time anyway.

The information Lin Yue disregarded was like a bomb in Guo Yunfan’s heart, stirring up waves.

Breaking through to Nascent Soul could grant one a Star System Territory?

After returning home, Guo Yunfan rarely talked with his grandfather about the importance of this information.

His grandfather, Guo Changming, who had long receded from the public eye and handed over all familial rights to his grandson Guo Yunfan, after hearing this, spoke with great caution,

"If our Guo Family could have a Nascent Soul, as long as we gain a Star System Territory, it would be worth it even if we spent all the Earth’s capital resources!"

Guo Yunfan replied, "Exactly, that’s what I think. Our current net worth is five-hundred billion RMB. Even if we spend it all, just one Nascent Soul and the resources of nearly a hundred planets in a Star System, even if there are no cultivation materials, just the steel resources on a single planet could be worth trillions!"

"We wouldn’t suffer a loss no matter how you look at it."

After a period of consideration, Guo Changming decided to support his grandson’s strategy.

"Alright, Yunfan, I’ll listen to you. After all, you’re now the Family Head of the Guo Family. Whether or not we can produce a Star System Lord depends on our family’s fate."

This news, once spread through high levels in the Ye Family and the He Family, couldn’t possibly be kept secret in the West.

It would even leak to lower societal circles.

Do you think those secondary capital consortiums wouldn’t have ideas?

No, they would be even crazier!

Because this could be their only chance to turn things around and overtake on the curve!

Thus, the global daily struggle in the Arena was even more intense than anyone could imagine.

Logically, every sports event would be intervened by bookmaking.

But only the ranking in the Arena couldn’t be controlled by the bookmakers.

Because the money they offered was nothing compared to the value of points these experts would lose!

"A low-grade Spirit Stone requires 2,000 points to exchange, and if I could enter the top 10 on the leaderboard, the system would give me one Spirit Stone every 24 hours. If I’m in the top 5, I would get two, and the first place could get three."

"A low-grade Spirit Stone can fetch up to 10 million US Dollars in the black market, and they are hard to come by. If you ask me to deliberately lose, not only would my ranking stop, but I’d also lose 500 points. Calculating that, I’d be losing about 30 million US Dollars a day!"

So, true experts didn’t care for the small inducements from gambling.

Because they knew that no amount of money could buy resources that would make them stronger now.

You could only rely on yourself in the Arena to get the resources you wanted to improve.

And the capital consortiums behind them would never allow them to lose intentionally in the competition.

They must go all out to obtain any Spirit Stones rewarded by the system daily!

For Earth’s cultivators at present, Spirit Stones couldn’t even be measured with money!

Because no one could step out of Earth and have another channel to get these things, all major Cultivators who had entered the Qi Refinement Realm didn’t care about money; in their eyes, Spirit Stones were the real currency!

Meanwhile, at the Pangu base.

Zhan Shijie, one of Gu Feng’s 48 students, was frustratedly holding a meeting for the disciples below him.

"You are my personally taught disciples, and yet you still can’t beat other martial artists of the same combat skills? Shameful!" Zhan Shijie raged in his hall at a student who was already at the Mid Qi-Refining Stage.

His outburst was not without reason.

These disciples were personally taught his combat skills, and other countries had also learned their department’s combat skills, after all, initially, the 48 Peak Masters had to rely on the patent fees paid by martial artists worldwide to generate income and sustain their livelihoods.

As martial artists around the globe were vigorously preparing for the arena to enhance their strength, all 48 Peak Masters profited handsomely.

However, the other countries learned through self-taught methods from books, which should not be as good as personal teachings.

Who would have thought that recently in a duel, his own student lost to a martial artist who learned the same combat skills?

This infuriated Zhan Shijie.

He also got ridiculed by other fellow Peak Masters.

If it weren’t for the fact that he had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage and couldn’t enter the "Martial Artist" channel, he would have really wanted to go beat up those in the Qi Refinement stage.

"I’m frustrated enough in the Foundation Establishment channel, and now I have to put up with you disciples too!"

Zhan Shijie was irate beyond measure.

Although in the Foundation Building channel where only their 48 students competed for the top 10 list, it wasn’t that competitive.

But he couldn’t beat the other Peak Masters, always hovering around 18th. Did he expect other fellow Peak Masters to go easy?

That was impossible; everyone wanted to obtain Spirit Stones to quickly break through their own strength.

Zhan Shijie initially thought the disciples below could fight in the "Martial Artist" channel, get Spirit Stones or exchange them with points to help him, their teacher, reclaim his honor in his own channel.

Who knew these subordinates would also be inept?

Who wouldn’t be infuriated?

An eliminated disciple, feeling ashamed and embarrassed, pulled out a Low-grade Spirit Stone from his sleeve and handed it to Zhan Shijie, "Master, this is what I had others exchange with points. Here, don’t be upset."

Upon seeing this, Zhan Shijie felt a warmth in his heart and returned the Low-grade Spirit Stone to the student, "You use it for refining. I’ll go to the thatched cottage where our teacher once stayed to see if I can comprehend a breakthrough."

He remembered the courtyard once inhabited by Gu Feng.

Saying this, he stood up to leave, not forgetting to glare at the student, "Bring back our honor!"

"Yes!" the student nodded vigorously.

Elsewhere, Guo Chao was even more anxious.

He lingered around the 12th place on the leaderboard.

For advancement, he even left Earth on his own to seek more Spirit Stones in space.

He nearly died in the cosmic vastness.

Because Gu Feng’s teleportation array wasn’t yet available, Guo Chao’s flying speed was only comparable to an airplane.

It took him 33 days just to reach the Moon, let alone flying to other, more distant celestial bodies.

This was absurd.

Gu Feng created the teleportation array precisely because the flying speed of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the universe was no better than that of an ant moving.

Furthermore, he only mentioned that Foundation Establishment could leave Earth and adapt to the universe, merely as an apprentice level.

He did not say that Foundation Establishment could freely explore the stars in the universe.

Foundation Establishment still belonged to three-dimensional life forms; any five-dimensional celestial body’s aura in the galaxy system could suck him in and strangle him!

When Gu Feng discovered him, the guy was already floating in the cosmic space, just having flown past the Moon and not even reaching the next planet, in a state where it was too late to go forward or turn back, bordering on death.

After bringing him back to Earth, Gu Feng gave him a stern scolding and finally punished Guo Chao with confinement for reflection.

Having had a narrow escape, Guo Chao was now behaving.
