Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 240 Genius is merely the threshold to seeing me; an insurmountable mountain standing before all living beings.

Of course, Gu Che's kite-flying tactic is also correct.

Even if limited by the training ground's size, Lin Ruoxi could maintain her distance from Gu Che using her speed if she wanted to, thus continuously bombarding him with lightning.

She just hadn't planned to do that, otherwise the battle wouldn't have ended so soon.

"Okay, okay, you win."

Gu Che didn't deny it.

Lin Ruoxi's strength is indeed greater than his current level, and there's nothing wrong with admitting that.

Aside from being stronger and more physically stronger than Lin Ruoxi, he was inferior to her in every other aspect. Even in terms of destructive power, the Railgun's absolute destructive power was greater than his.

Unless he someday comprehends an ability similar to Kaido's Thunder Bagua.

That's not impossible. If you can master Observation Haki, you're naturally also capable of mastering other abilities in the One Piece world.

The holder of the treasures of the heavens can learn the abilities derived from the world system to which the treasures of the heavens belong. Although this has been proposed before, he has only now mastered one of the three types of Haki.

He felt nothing at all, neither Armament Haki nor Conqueror's Haki.

Armament Haki is relatively easy to learn; it's an acquired ability, and you can generally master it with enough time and effort. However, Conqueror's Haki is innate.

He was also unsure whether he had the aptitude to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

If the Conqueror's Haki remains the same as it was at the beginning, relying on one's own "aura" to intimidate, scare, and stun enemies, causing opponents much weaker than oneself to faint, then it makes little difference to him whether it exists or not.

After all, as a user of the Azure Dragon Fruit, his "Dragon's Might" could achieve a similar effect, but later he developed the technique of "Conqueror's Haki Entanglement".

I haven't mastered it, and I always feel like something's missing.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Are the people behind you putting pressure on you?"

Seeing Gu Che's thoughtful expression, Lin Ruoxi walked to his side and asked curiously.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Lu Jing gave us the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, while I managed to get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Shen Mo is even more ruthless; he personally trained me with Gin Ichimaru from the Bleach world."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this guy's progress rate will be the fastest among us."

In terms of resources, you are clearly the worst.

"Don't even mention that Shen Mo was at the bottom of the last list of extraordinary individuals. Even if Shen Mo wasn't at the bottom, it's only natural that you're ranked below us."

"If they're going to put pressure on themselves, they'll be searching for treasures from all the heavens for you. They wouldn't put pressure on you, would they?"

If this is pressure, then there's absolutely no reason to believe it.

"What are you thinking? How could such a thing be possible?"

Gu Che looked at Lin Ruoxi speechlessly.

She knew that he didn't have as many resources as they did, so how could the people behind him possibly put pressure on him?

"Shen Mo is not sure yet, but Lu Jing's strength has indeed improved very quickly."

"The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame truly lives up to its reputation as a wondrous flame of heaven and earth in the world of Dou Qi; its destructive power is something even I cannot withstand."

"A single wisp of flame is enough to break through my defenses."

"Moreover, because his body has been fused with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, even in elemental form, it exudes an extremely hot temperature, making it impossible to touch."

Gu Che's tone was somewhat wistful.

Although they knew that Lu Jing's strength would increase dramatically after fusing with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, they did not expect the increase to be so great.

Although both Lu Jing and Lin Ruoxi were at the fourth level in terms of overall strength, the pressure Lu Jing exerted on Lin Ruoxi was far greater than that Lin Ruoxi could exert.

"It's normal for a strange fire to be able to do this."

"But when did you fight Lu Jing? How come I didn't know?"

Lin Ruoxi was not surprised by Lu Jing's strength after fusing with the strange fire, but she was puzzled as to when Gu Che fought Lu Jing.

After this guy improved his strength, the first person he sought out for a sparring match wasn't me?
Isn't it normal for challenges to start from weak and gradually increase in strength?

Could it be that in his heart, she is actually better than Lu Jing?

Hagigu, you bastard.

"Isn't this normal? Go challenge the strongest one first."

Gu Che looked at Lin Ruoxi with some doubt. Knowing that Lu Jing was stronger than both of them, he would definitely challenge Lu Jing first.

Moreover, he had fought the Rumble-Rumble Fruit before, but the opponent he fought was a mutated ape. However, he had never actually seen the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which was the same as the Flame Emperor's.

I'll definitely look for Lu Jing.

Lin Ruoxi pouted, about to say something, when Gu Che suddenly seemed to remember something and added irritably, "And aren't you the same way?"

"You went to Shanghai to challenge him just two days after the list of extraordinary individuals was updated, right?"

"We lost."

"."

Lin Ruoxi looked away and said in a normal tone:

"How long is it from Nanjing to Shanghai? How long is it from Beijing? I'm definitely going to Shanghai."

"It has nothing to do with Lu Jing's strength."

"If it were you in Shanghai, I would definitely challenge you."

"really?"

Gu Che looked suspicious; why didn't he believe it? "Of course."

Lin Ruoxi nodded without changing her expression, but her gaze drifted towards the ceiling of the training ground.

Of course, that's impossible.

You yourself said that you would definitely challenge the strongest one. After the superhuman rankings were updated, Gu Che's strength was still below hers. What reason does she have to challenge Gu Che, who is weaker than her?

If anyone should be challenging someone, it should be Gu Che challenging her, just like now.

"Just let it be."

Gu Che shook his head, not dwelling on the matter any further.

"In the end, we were just a little bit more famous than those later superpowered individuals and holders of celestial treasures."

"Although we are still ranked high on the list of extraordinary individuals, there are people stronger than us or who can catch up with us."

The Great Xia Dynasty now boasts the most geniuses in the world. Whether it's the number of third-tier ability users, the number of holders of celestial treasures, or even the number of dimensional beings that have descended, they are in a league of their own.

“Besides Fang Yuan and Lin Xiu, who are the most famous recently, people with extraordinary talents have also emerged in the Taoist and Buddhist sects.”

"In this day and age, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river."

Even now, we wouldn't dare say we can always stay at the forefront without being overtaken.

Even Ye Xuan

Gu Che brought this up not because he thought his strength would be surpassed by those who came after him.

Even if we are caught up with or even surpassed, it doesn't matter. The more geniuses and strong people Great Xia has, the more favorable the situation will be in the face of the unknown future.

He will also try his best to improve himself, rather than giving up on becoming stronger just because he has been surpassed.

The main reason for mentioning this is Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, who has always stood at the pinnacle of human superhumans and is unsurpassable, truly does not want to see himself surpassed.

You're overthinking it.

Lin Ruoxi knew what Gu Che was thinking. He had been humiliated by Ye Xuan so many times. His original resentment and desire to catch up had turned into admiration and respect as the gap between him and Ye Xuan's strength widened. He didn't want to see anyone surpass Ye Xuan.

If we only consider life on Earth, there is currently no one who could possibly surpass Ye Xuan.

It could even be said that the gap between Ye Xuan and them is widening.

But if we include dimensional beings, then there is one, or even more than one.

After all, they cannot only focus on Kinomoto Sakura and ignore Keroberos, the sealed beast that came with her.

The power of a sealed beast varies depending on the strength of its master.

In the past, Cerberus's master was Clow Reed, who also controlled his power. Even now, Cerberus's master may still be Clow Reed. Without the final ritual, it is highly unlikely that it can be performed.

But it was only a matter of time.

Kerberos's strength will definitely improve because of Sakura, and even if he's not as strong as Sakura, he won't be too far behind.

Gu Che simply felt that Ye Xuan would definitely be surpassed by Kinomoto Sakura and Cerberus in the future.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Che frowned slightly. Was there something wrong with his idea?

"Ye Xuan said that his growth rate is no slower than Kinomoto Sakura's, so you don't need to worry about that at all."

Lin Ruoxi shrugged.

She definitely likes Sakura Kinomoto, after all, she was the first generation of moe queen, and she is innocent, cute, lively and cheerful, without any guile.

But as a human from Earth, she certainly hopes that Earth will be "no weaker than humans," and that it will be able to produce one or more people who are no less talented or faster at growing than Sakura Kinomoto or any other dimensional life form.

Initially, she also thought such a thing was impossible. After all, a level like "multiverse" would be the strongest in any world, let alone Kinomoto Sakura, who has the potential to "transcend the multiverse".

It didn't even take many years for him to go from an ordinary person to that level of strength.

In other words, if such exaggerated life forms can be born in works of human imagination, how could they possibly be born in reality?

But since Ye Xuan said so, she must believe him.

Gu Che wasn't the only one who was defeated by Ye Xuan; she, Lu Jing, and Shen Mo were all defeated by him as well.

She didn't want to see Ye Xuan surpassed by others.

Ye Xuan's existence should be like an insurmountable mountain, standing before them, making all those hailed as "geniuses," "monsters," and "prodigies" pale in comparison.

Whether it's humans on Earth or dimensional beings that have descended from there, this is how it should be.

Genius is just the threshold to meeting me? The gap needs to be even greater than that!

"???"

"When did Ye Xuan say that?"

Gu Che was completely bewildered. Wait, did Ye Xuan say that? How come he didn't know?
Did Lin Ruoxi secretly go to Ye Xuan's place to be abused?
Why didn't you call me for this?

He had always wanted to go, but because the gap in strength between him and Ye Xuan was too great, he was afraid that Ye Xuan would look down on him, so he was too embarrassed to go!
"That's what Ye Xuan and Su Mengyao said."

"Given Ye Xuan's personality, he would never lie about something like this."

"It is estimated that he possesses a celestial treasure that we are unaware of, which gives him such confidence."

"But what kind of celestial treasures are they?"

Lin Ruoxi couldn't think of an answer.
