Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 126 The Battle for the Throne

After a moment of silence, Song Yunhe asked in a low voice, "Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Yes, Uncle, you wanted to see me about the contract?" Gao Wu asked.

"Yes, the head office has already reached an agreement with your agent. The endorsement fee is 20 million per year, plus tiered bonus clauses. If you can reach the maximum of the clauses, you can earn 80 million per year..."

Song Yunhe received a notification from Song Yunkun. He had specifically reviewed the contract and was quite surprised by the reward clauses it contained.

It's clear that Song Yunkun takes this very seriously and has given Gao Wu extremely high treatment.

Of course, this is all company money, so whether Song Yunkun gets more or less won't affect him much. If Gao Wu can activate the Menglong beverage series, this money won't be a problem.

Given such favorable terms, Song Yunhe was very happy for Gao Wu and hoped to finalize the contract as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

After trying to call for a long time without success, Song Yunhe became a little anxious, but he didn't expect that Gao Wu was actually with his father.

He was not only afraid of Song Chunqiu, but also knew that Song Chunqiu represented the military and secrets.

Gao Wu and Song Yunhe talked for a while and agreed to go back and sign the contract the day after tomorrow.

After Gao Wu hung up the phone, Song Mingyue said, "Actually, we're not needed here."

She wasn't particularly interested in killing alien races and beasts, nor did she think Gao Wu needed to stay.

"I just wanted to make a good impression on our grandfather. Besides, these alien races deserve to die!"

The altar was hidden in the mirror space, and no one else could see it, but Gao Wu could see it clearly through the Yin God.

Such a large-scale blood sacrifice was truly like hell. This stirred up memories of his childhood.

Someone like Wan Canglong wouldn't hesitate to kill as many as he wanted. Alien races especially deserve to be killed! On the other hand, killing these evil people and alien races also accumulates a great deal of merit!
Proving that this behavior is recognized by the Book of Immeasurable Merit is an even greater good thing. However, since the Book of Immeasurable Merit is involved, even someone as close as Song Mingyue cannot say these things.

Song Mingyue nodded slightly. She had no interest in purging the alien races, but she would accompany Gao Wu if he wanted to continue.

Gao Wu estimated that not many alien races had escaped, and with so many people involved, he should be able to resolve the situation within two days.

The two rested in the tent for several hours until dusk before re-entering Dacang Town.

News has come from the front that the military camp guarding the Dacangshan Secret Realm has not been captured, but has been besieged by a large number of Black Beetle Men.

As the main force advanced to provide support, the Black Beetle Men scattered and fled. The next step was to clear out the remaining Black Beetle Men and thoroughly clean up the secret realm between Dacang Town and Dacang Mountain, creating a buffer zone.

Dozens of hunter teams patrolled back and forth in Dacang Town. The town was full of low-rise houses and a lot of timber and other miscellaneous items, making the environment complex.

Individual detection equipment, such as infrared imaging, is greatly hampered in the secret realm. The black beetle people themselves have extremely strong camouflage capabilities, and their carapaces can cover various life signs, making the search progress very slow.

Unlike the hunters, Gao Wu was able to conserve his energy and activate his Yin Spirit at any time to observe his surroundings.

No matter how well the insect-men hid, they could not conceal the radiant light of their lives. Under the illumination of the Yin spirit, the insect-men were like fireflies in the shadows.

Gao Wu led Song Mingyue on a patrol of Dacang Town, and in three hours, they killed all the dozens of Black Beetle People hiding in Dacang Town.

Several of the black beetle people had already gathered their source power, but they were powerless against Gao Wu and Song Mingyue.

Although their martial arts cultivation and source power level were only at the warrior level, their burst power in a short time was comparable to that of a high-level martial artist.

In such small-scale battles, the explosive power advantage of the two can be fully utilized.

The dozens of black beetle people increased Gao Wu's merit by nearly a million, leaving him only 1.5 million short of 10 million merit.

Gao Wu was very excited about this. If he could really accumulate tens of millions of merits, he could raise the level of the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra.

At that time, I should be able to easily refine the Limitless Divine Weapon!

He secretly tried it once, and the Heavenly Destiny Sword could indeed devour the Limitless Divine Weapon. However, the demonic aura contained within the Limitless Divine Weapon was extremely strong, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Curse could not digest it in a short time.

After much deliberation, Gao Wu ultimately decided against taking the risk.

While fusing with the Limitless Divine Weapon can enhance the power of the Heavenly Fate Sword, its effect on him is actually quite limited.

He's strong enough now, there's no need for him to take risks to improve his sword.

The next day, Gao Wu led Song Mingyue deeper into the secret realm, but they found very few Black Beetle People.

The combat power of the large-scale legion is too strong. Even with the restriction of high-tech equipment, it can easily wipe out the low-level Black Beetlemen with just weapons such as artillery and heavy machine guns.

Gao Wu knew that there was no point in staying any longer, so he took Song Mingyue back to Dongjiang that same day.

That evening, Gao Wu, Song Mingyue, and Song Yunhe met at Yunhu Pavilion.

A thick stack of paper contracts, densely filled with various clauses.

Although Gao Wu trusts Shang Qingjun, he still needs to observe her carefully at this point. Shang Qingjun wouldn't betray him, but she might make a mistake.

Of course, he's actually a complete novice in business. He might not even be able to see if there are any major pitfalls in the terms.

I'll have to check it once to be sure!

Song Mingyue also read the contract twice, even more carefully than Gao Wu.

"Don't worry, I've had my legal counsel check it out, there won't be any problems."

Song Yunhe found it somewhat amusing. He could understand Gao Wu and his daughter's caution, but what was the point of looking at it this way? Professional matters should be left to professionals.

This is a big deal, not only concerning Gao Wu, but also his future, so he must handle it with caution.

Gao Wu flipped through it twice, then exchanged a glance with Song Mingyue. Song Mingyue nodded slightly; she didn't see anything wrong with it either.

Gao Wu signed the contract and pressed his fingerprint on it, thus completing the signing process.

With this contract in hand, Song Yunkun will immediately begin promoting the "King of the Northern Provinces" competition, with the first finals expected to be held in Anjing in October.

Only in the finals will high-level martial arts experts be needed to engage in combat. Most of the time, promoting the event through short videos is sufficient for them.

Gao Wu was very satisfied with this. For him, making money was secondary; what was important was that Longteng Company was promoting him so vigorously that he could maintain his popularity.

With popularity comes fans, and with fans comes merit. Over time, this accumulates into a considerable amount.

Having finalized the contract, Song Yunhe was in high spirits and immediately transferred the promised bonus to Gao Wu, totaling more than three million yuan, which was a considerable sum.

As for the money for the spokesperson, it was transferred to the account of Sunshine Media Company in three installments as stipulated in the contract.

Gao Wu wasn't in a hurry; he currently had 1900 million yuan, which was a considerable sum.

Even if you buy a house in Anjing, you can get one that's several hundred square meters, which is more than enough.

As for purchasing potions, that's not necessary for now. The most important thing right now is to accumulate merit. Once you reach ten million merits, you can upgrade the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, greatly enhancing your Yin Spirit power and boosting your spiritual strength. At that time, refining the Limitless Divine Weapon with the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra will not be difficult.

With increased mental strength, the addictive nature of the drug can be completely suppressed. This allows for rapid power-up enhancement through injections, depending on the situation.

According to the contract, he was to travel with the team to various parts of Beizhou for roadshows in July and August to promote the popularity of "King of the Youth of Beizhou".

The Northern State has seventy-seven cities. If each city takes one day, it will take seventy-seven days... This is quite a waste of time.

There's also a separate appearance fee for roadshows, 100,000 yuan per show, which isn't a small amount.

Song Yunhe said to Gao Wu with some excitement, "If this event achieves great results, the title of 'King of the Youth of the Northern Continent' can even be upgraded to 'King of the Youth of the Alliance,' or even 'King of the Youth of Earth'..."

Dragon Company holds an important position in the alliance, with subsidiaries in each of the fourteen states. Each subsidiary in each state is semi-independent, so they all refer to themselves as the parent company.

The actual headquarters is in Zhongzhou.

If Gao Wu were to become the Raptors' representative for the entire league, it would be enough to propel him to the top in an instant, allowing him to leapfrog through social classes in a very short time!

Gao Wu also had a general idea of ​​the situation at Longteng Company. If he could become the League's Youth King, that would be great.

With enough money, he could buy higher-level potions. With his Transcendent Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra and 20 points of physique, he could freely inject any potion at the warrior level.

The problem in Dacang Town was resolved relatively smoothly, but it cost more than 100,000 lives.

To prevent panic from spreading, the matter was classified as top secret.

Shen An and An Ziru both specifically spoke to Gao Wu about this matter, asking him not to publish related information online.

Both martial arts masters were deeply worried about this, as the spatial anomalies were occurring at an increasingly rapid pace and were affecting a wider range of areas.

Following this trend, the world may become a vast secret realm in just a few years.

At that time, humanity will face all sorts of bizarre and incredibly powerful beasts, brutal and bloodthirsty alien races, and the omnipresent Source Force...

Shen An expressed his worries and helplessness to Gao Wu. He also hoped that Gao Wu would be prepared for this and improve his cultivation and strength as soon as possible so as to face the cruel fate that was about to come with the attitude of a strong person!

Gao Wu agreed wholeheartedly. He had originally thought he was making rapid progress, but seeing the tragic state of Dacang Town, he became extremely wary.

There's nothing to be proud of in killing a half-dead Wan Canglong.

A cruel future is looming ahead, and he must do his best to prepare before being overwhelmed by it.

The day after the signing, Longteng Company's team arrived in Dongjiang. The team was led by a very capable female manager named Zhou Qingyun.

She has a dignified appearance, speaks and acts decisively, and is even somewhat assertive but still knows her limits.

Gao Wu had a good impression of this woman; she was efficient, skilled in her work, and in short, very professional. And, well, she was good-looking too.

Shang Qingjun also had a holiday, and she even brought her best friend Zhou Hongying along.

Yes, Zhou Hongying is already a full-time employee of the company.

Gao Wu was slightly surprised to see Zhou Hongying come over, but Zhou Hongying warmly embraced her boss without paying any attention to Song Mingyue standing to the side.

Gao Wu could only politely give her a light hug. He felt that this Western-style etiquette was a bit presumptuous, not presumptuous towards him, but rather towards Song Mingyue...

Fortunately, Xiao Song doesn't care about these things and won't get angry about them.

Shang Qingjun is cautious in her actions, and Zhou Hongying is good at communicating with people. With them handling the contact with Zhou Qingyun, Gao Wu can rest easy.

With Shen Yue included, the three of them could help him handle various chores. They could also shoot videos to maintain the popularity of Kuaishou.

Related promotions have also begun to be launched through various media platforms, including the internet, television, and radio...

Zhou Qingyun's professional team filmed several short videos for Gao Wu, specifically for promoting and publicizing the game "King of Youth".

After a few days of buzz, the "King of the Northland Youth" event quickly became a sensation, becoming the hottest trend among teenagers.

At the Hakuryu Branch of the Martial Arts Academy at Ankyo University, Bai Yucheng, as the president of the branch's student council, enjoys considerable prestige within the academy.

Today, Bai Yucheng specially invited Yan Shanyue to lunch, and the other party readily accepted the invitation.

In terms of cultivation level, Bai Yucheng was actually stronger than Yan Shanyue, but Yan Shanyue was only seventeen years old! He was five years younger than him.

Even though Yan Shanyue came from a small place like Changling and was still a young girl, Bai Yucheng valued her very much.

Yan Shanyue has long eyebrows and big eyes, an oval face, and regular features that exude the air of a northern woman. In particular, her bright black eyes are clear and pure, lacking the lightness and liveliness of an ordinary girl.

"Junior sister, have you been trying the Nine Limits of Heaven recently?" Bai Yucheng and Yan Shanyue were not familiar with each other, so they could only discuss topics related to cultivation.

"Mm." Yan Shanyue nodded slightly.

"Uh, how many levels have you passed?" Bai Yucheng could only continue asking.

"The fifth level. The sixth level is very difficult," Yan Shanyue answered very frankly.

Bai Yucheng was somewhat surprised, as he had been blocked at the third level of the Nine Limits of Heaven. Yan Shanyue's cultivation was clearly inferior to his, yet he had already made it to the sixth level, truly deserving of the title of genius.

"Junior, you're amazing!" Bai Yucheng praised sincerely, turning his gaze to the television next to him, which was showing an advertisement for the King of Youth event.

Bai Yucheng had chosen this time precisely because he was waiting for this advertisement. He said to Yan Shanyue, "The King of the Northern Continent's Youth, that's a very prestigious title. Have you heard of it, junior sister?"

Yan Shanyue glanced at the TV screen, which showed Gao Wu, dressed in a crimson martial arts uniform, practicing his boxing style, the Dragon Palm. His movements were agile, powerful, and graceful, making for a very impressive performance.

She couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times before turning her gaze away and saying softly, "I've heard of him. His Dragon Palm technique is quite good."

Bai Yucheng smiled: "His name is Gao Wu, and he led the team to win the Qilin Cup this year. He is indeed a genius. But calling himself the King of the Youth of the Northern State is a bit too arrogant!"

He said in a serious tone, "In my opinion, Gao Wu is far inferior to my junior sister!"

Yan Shanyue understood Bai Yucheng's intention in inviting her to dinner. She shook her head slightly and said, "Only a fight can determine who is superior and who is weak."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Senior, I have no interest in competing with Gao Wu. Perhaps I would go if it were the Queen of Girls."

Bai Yucheng laughed nonchalantly: "I have no grudge against Gao Wu, but he stole the limelight from Anjing and has a minor grudge against my cousin, so I don't like him. But at my age, it's not appropriate for me to fight him."

"Wang Ye is arrogant, and Ye Chang'an is also proud to the core. Without anyone saying anything, the two of them will go to find Gao Wu to compete with him..."

Yan Shanyue knew these two geniuses of the same age very well. They didn't need anyone to instigate them; they simply couldn't tolerate Gao Wu calling himself the King of the Northern Province's Youth!

Bai Yucheng laughed heartily: "If they were to take action, they would surely teach Gao Wu a lesson. They would also let Gao Wu know that there are always people stronger than him. What kind of boastful title is 'King of the Youth of the Northern State'?"
