Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 118 Special Recruitment by Virtual Universe Company
After breaking through to the third level of the Stellar Realm, Wu Hao immediately entered the virtual universe and began challenging opponents at the third level of the Stellar Realm.

As expected, even after reaching the third tier of the Stellar level, none of the experts from Black Dragon Mountain could withstand a single blow from him. Everyone was unable to last more than five seconds, and very few could even last three seconds against him.

After playing for more than ten rounds, Wu Hao suddenly felt very bored. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire was still too small, and even in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, it was among the lowest-ranking, with hardly any geniuses worth mentioning.

"I'll end the stream after I beat two more people. With my performance, how come no big shot has noticed me yet!"

He started matchmaking again, and this time his opponent was a woman dressed in white.

Wu Hao didn't take him seriously, thinking he was just another mediocre person he was about to trample under his feet.

The moment the battle system announced the start of the fight, Wu Hao, gripping his Dragon Gallant Spear, immediately charged out. Hundreds of battles had honed his skills to perfection, and a single sweeping attack could keep almost all opponents busy parrying.

However, this time his opponent miraculously withstood his nearly fifty times the force.

This immediately brightened Wu Hao's eyes.

This opponent was actually able to match him in terms of power exertion. You should know that this was the first time in a long time that Wu Hao had encountered an opponent who could compete with him in strength.

Just as he was getting excited, the woman in white immediately swung her twin swords in a counterattack. Her long swords were as nimble and swift as a leopard, graceful and agile while also possessing a strange and sharp edge.

She no longer confronted Wu Hao head-on, attempting to use her agility to counter his powerful and tyrannical strength.

However, Wu Hao's marksmanship had been honed through countless trials and tribulations, and it had long since become an extension of his body. The reason why it was so domineering and powerful before was simply because it was faster to crush weaker opponents.

Having finally encountered a worthy opponent, Wu Hao immediately began to unleash all his skills, attempting to prove himself superior in agility.

"You didn't want to fight me head-on? I'll force you to fight me!"

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The spear and the twin swords clashed wildly, each strike proclaiming the speed and agility of Wu Hao's spear technique.

The woman was beaten quite badly due to her weakness in strength. The more her twin swords clashed with Wu Hao, the greater the pressure she faced.

If this continues, she will eventually lose the ability to fight Wu Hao due to muscle damage.

"Wind Domain - Third Level!"

The woman immediately roared and unleashed her trump card. Endless gusts of wind swept over Wu Hao's body, as if hundreds of sharp blades were cutting into his skin.

The wind pressure amplified the woman's speed while weakening Wu Hao's attack.

This feeling is like when you're playing badminton and the wind suddenly changes direction, giving your opponent a tailwind while you're going against the wind.

"Good timing!" Wu Hao was not surprised but delighted. The woman in front of him was the most talented person he had ever met in terms of understanding of the domain laws, and she was qualified to fight him with his true strength.

However, he cannot activate his domain to bully others; otherwise, the outcome of this battle would be a foregone conclusion.

Wu Hao charged forward against the wind once again. The hurricane blew his skin, causing mottled red spots to appear. These were the streaks of blood from the capillaries being scraped by the wind.

However, this did not affect Wu Hao's combat power in the slightest. On the contrary, it stimulated his Saiyan bloodline, and his fighting instinct made him even more excited, and his body's various reactions gradually reached their peak.

Wu Hao, like a lion that hadn't hunted in a long time, suddenly charged at his prey.

An incredulous look flashed in the white-clad woman's eyes before she immediately swung her knife in retaliation.

However, just as the blade's edge slashed down in front of Wu Hao, it was directly blocked by the spear. Wu Hao then slashed upwards, instantly knocking the two longswords in the woman's hands away.

Fighting with weapons is nowhere near as satisfying as hand-to-hand combat. Wu Hao threw down his spear and pounced on the woman.

Wu Hao was captivated by the visceral, bone-crunching combat. Each punch triggered a surge of dopamine from his Saiyan genes, and the frenzied excitement of the battle made him roar with ecstasy.

Finally, with a crisp sound of bones shattering, Wu Hao broke the white-clad woman's arms, which were then blown about like kites by the gale-force winds of the Wind Domain.

"Haotian, you are very strong, stronger than any genius I have seen in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. I hope that you will be just as powerful in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the future as you are today!"

The woman had barely finished speaking when Wu Hao slapped her across the face without a second thought, causing her head to spin 720 degrees and fall off.

"What are you babbling about!" Wu Hao finally snapped out of his fighting instincts and didn't realize at all what methods he had used to deal with a woman.

After exiting the battle space, Wu Hao began to recall the scene of the battle just now, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart once again.

It's been a long time since I've had such an exhilarating battle. Perhaps only a cosmic-level powerhouse truly deserves to unleash his full power.

Wu Hao thought about the genius battles at the Virtual Universe Company, and wondered when he would ever encounter an opponent of Bo Lan's or Rong Jun's caliber.

At this moment, in a quiet room on the second floor, a burly man stared intently at the screen, intently watching Wu Hao's battle footage.

"Even she couldn't force this person to use their full strength? Domain Domain, do you have it or not?!"

suddenly--

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" The knocking sounded on the door.

"Come in!" the burly man said.

The door was pushed open, and a woman in a white robe with a serious expression walked in. After closing the door, the woman quickly bowed respectfully: "My lord, I am no match for him!"

The burly man didn't turn around, but continued to quietly watch the scene on the screen. Then he asked in a low voice, "Just how much of his strength do you think he's hiding?"

The woman remained silent for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "My lord, it's impossible to tell. That person was just playing around, not going all out at all. He was enjoying the fight with me, suppressing his own strength, and only using martial arts techniques. It's impossible to tell how strong he really is!"

"Alright, you can go now. Go and invite him up!" The burly man hesitated for a moment, but then immediately changed his mind. "No, I should invite such a genius myself. Come with me!"

"Yes!" The woman bowed respectfully and followed behind the burly man.

Wu Hao issued challenges to several people, but all of them declined, seemingly because no one at the Stellar Tier 3 stage was willing to fight him. With an undefeated record of 872 wins, he simply couldn't find anyone willing to challenge him.

After failing to invite any opponents, Wu Hao left the battle space and prepared to log off.

Suddenly, a commotion in the distance caught his attention. He saw a burly man wearing a dark blue battle robe, and on his chest was a medal with the image of two planets floating on a raging sea of ​​blood.

Having spent dozens of days roaming the universe, Wu Hao naturally understood what the pattern represented; it was the symbol of a two-star mercenary in the universe.

A mercenary of the second-tier universe is at least a domain lord, and possibly even a world lord.

Combined with the white-clad woman following behind the burly man, Wu Hao immediately recognized their identities.

These two people were none other than Ming Yu, who recruited Luo Feng and his two companions to become peripheral members of the Virtual Universe Company in the original work, and the top-level genius who defeated Luo Feng and Thor.

Is his talent finally about to be discovered by the major powers in the universe? It will be worth all the continuous battles he has fought these past few days.

The man stepped up to Wu Hao and nodded to him in greeting.

"Hello Haotian, let me introduce myself. I am Mingyu, an external steward of the 'Black Dragon Mountain Branch' of the Virtual Universe Company, located in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. You can call me Mr. Mingyu."

Wu Hao nodded. He naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to address the other party as "Mr.", after all, this person was supposed to be his benefactor: "Lord Mingyu, is there something you need from me?"

Ming Yu said, "You're quite good! You actually managed to defeat a top genius from our Virtual Universe Company's Black Dragon Mountain branch. I have high hopes for you and would like to invite you to join the Virtual Universe Company. There are too many people around here, so let's talk in the quiet room on the second floor!"

"Okay!" Wu Hao turned around and looked around. He immediately saw Luo Feng and Thor in the crowd. After smiling slightly at them, Wu Hao left with Ming Yu.

After Mingyu and Wu Hao left, a heated discussion broke out among the crowd in the battle square.

"Who was that person just now? He actually got the attention of the Virtual Universe Company!"

"Idiot, even he doesn't know that person is the famous Haotian!"

"Haotian, the one who beats everyone so badly that no one dares to challenge him, the one whose fights never last more than five seconds?"

"Besides him, who else could be personally invited by a domain lord?"

Listening to the discussions, Luo Feng felt a pang of sadness. Once upon a time, Wu Hao had always been left behind by him, but now the gap between them had widened considerably.

Was leaving the Main God Space a mistake?

Luo Feng knew that his choice was right. His path was not in the Main God Space. Even if he relied solely on himself, he could forge a path to the heavens.

On the second floor of the meditation room, Wu Hao was invited by Ming Yu to sit down, and the two talked as if they were equals.

“Wu Hao, this is the genius you just fought. Her name is Vina. She is a top-tier elite from our Black Dragon Mountain branch.” Ming Yu pointed to the white-clad woman standing to the side and said, “You were able to defeat her easily, which means you are qualified to go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom branch for training. There you can get more cultivation resources, higher status and authority, and see a bigger and broader stage.”

Wu Hao felt a chill run down his spine, and a sense of longing immediately arose within him.

But he couldn't bear to leave Earth behind; it wouldn't be long before the Noranshan family's spaceship would arrive.

Wu Hao wasn't sure how long that would take; it might be a year or two later, or it might be the day after tomorrow. In any case, due to the butterfly effect, Wu Hao dared not leave everything to Luo Feng to handle again.

Mingyu continued, "But before that, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

Wu Hao looked up into Ming Yu's eyes: "What does Your Excellency wish to ask?"

Mingyu said, "In all your previous battles, I haven't seen you use your domain. I want to know if you have mastered the domain, and if so, what level have you reached?"

Upon hearing this question, Wu Hao immediately activated his Light Domain. Instantly, the fifth layer of his domain opened in the meditation room, and the pure light emitted intense heat, causing the white-clad woman, Vina, to scream in agony.

"Light Domain - Fifth Level, stepping into the threshold of the Law!" Ming Yu exclaimed, a sense of surprise welling up within him.

He thought he had found a fierce tiger, but he didn't expect to find a devastator.

A nascent-level genius possessing the fifth level of his domain, stepping into the threshold of the laws! What exactly does this mean? The entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire has never seen such a genius.

"Haotian, what is your real name? How old are you now?" Mingyu asked Wu Hao in a trembling voice.

This truly excited him. Wu Hao's talent was absolutely top-notch, even in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom. He would definitely be rewarded by the Virtual Universe Company for discovering such a genius, and the door to becoming a Realm Lord might just open for him.

Wu Hao replied directly, "My real name is Wu Hao, and I should be about 28 years old."

"What!" Wu Hao's youth shocked Ming Yu once again. To be able to cultivate to the fifth level of the domain at such a young age and step into the threshold of the laws, what kind of talent is this? It is simply beyond his imagination.

'We absolutely must bring him into the Virtual Universe Company, and we must report it to the higher-ups immediately!' Mingyu's hands were trembling with excitement. He just wanted to contact the higher-ups immediately and submit Wu Hao's application.

Seeing Ming Yu's excitement, Wu Hao immediately knew that he had completely captivated him.

As long as one joins the Virtual Universe Company and gains the favor of important figures, even just having Ming Yu make a move right now would ensure that absolutely no one would dare to attack Earth before it reveals its special nature.

“Come on, Wu Hao, it’s a waste for someone with your talent to stay in my Black Dragon Mountain Star Region!” He immediately grabbed Wu Hao’s body, as if afraid that Wu Hao would run away. “I will immediately notify the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company to recruit you to the branch in the Qianwu Universe Country. There, you may even have the opportunity to become a genius at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.”

"No, I can't go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom right now!" Wu Hao shook his head directly. "I am the strongest in my homeland. Currently, our planet does not have a lord. I need to earn enough money to buy our planet and prevent my homeland from being attacked by space adventurers."

"A mere inhabited planet!" Ming Yu didn't take it seriously at all. The difference in their status made him indifferent to such a small thing. "Where is your hometown? I'll buy it for you and register it in your name. I'll also use the name of the Three Axe Mountains of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire as collateral to protect your hometown. Come with me!"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wu Hao immediately followed Ming Yu and left the killing field, arriving at a street on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

After flying hundreds of kilometers, the two arrived at a building called the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of Virtual Universe Company and went inside.
